Southwest of Wuxi, Daqinglang.

Due to Tianlang and Qin Liangyu's speculation about Shang Kexi's whereabouts and Qin Liangyu's caution in his combat command, after the army camped here, the two sent nearly a thousand Jinyi guards to cross the stream to the east, and began to search for Shang Kexi's traces everywhere on the south bank of Wuxi as if casting a net.

Although the combat strength of Tianlang and Qin Liangyu's Western Route Army was only 4,000 Jinyi Guard cavalry, 3,000 white pole soldiers, and more than 10,000 Guangxi troops of Hou Xing, in addition to this, there were also 20,000 people in charge of the baggage escort and even the personnel in charge of the intelligence system.

It is said that Jinyiwei's spy system is very powerful, and since the start of the counterattack on Huguang, Dongting Lake has immediately become the top priority of Jinyiwei's intelligence work.

As early as a few days ago, when they had not attacked Chenzhou, they had already detected that Shang Kexi had set out from Changde and led a reinforcement to the south.

It's just that the speed of the Ming army's attack on Chenzhou was too fast, and before Shang Kexi could arrive, Chenzhou had already changed hands.

Then it was detected that Shang Kexi had not returned to Changde, and the defense of Changde was extremely empty, and there were only a few 3,000 defenders in the huge city.

But then, when he wanted to detect Shang Kexi's specific whereabouts, he encountered difficulties, and he and his nine thousand foot elite cavalry seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

None of Tianlang and Qin Liangyu underestimated the nine thousand Liaodong elites who were still gratifying, after all, if they threw out the Jinyi Guard spy system that would not participate in the war and the Guangxi Army with low combat power, even if the remaining Shizhu Army and Jinyi Guard cavalry added up to only seven thousand, the elite frontal hard steel of Shang Kexi's elite frontal steel, the victory or defeat on paper was also five or five, not to mention that Shang Kexi wanted to hurt people with secret arrows?

"I still can't find it, where is this damn Shang Kexi, where is he hiding?"

Looking at the map inch by inch, it made Tianlang helpless, and Shang Kexi seemed to have never existed.

"Hurrah, don't worry, the more we can't find it, the more it means that our judgment is correct.

What's more, there are many dense forests here, and only more than a thousand Jinyi guards and spies are sprinkled, how can they catch clues in the mountains? ”

"Shangzhuguo still firmly believes that your judgment is correct?"

"Yes, I firmly believe so."

Tianlang began to pace in the military tent, back and forth, stop and pacing.

Qin Liangyu didn't interrupt him either, Tianlang himself nodded in a low voice and said:

"I'm afraid it's right, Hutou Mountain, Shang Kexi, this old guy must be in ambush in Hutou Mountain, it won't be wrong."

Qin Liangyu smiled lightly: "This old thief is very good at the method of throwing thousands of catties in four or two, he expected that although our army did not pass by Hutou Mountain, he would definitely go to Hutou Mountain to worship Ma Yuan Temple, so he ambushed a heavy army, and wanted to decapitate on the way to our worship, his heart was really too vicious." ”

"That's right, back then, Ma Fubo crusaded against the Wuxi barbarians, was infected with the epidemic, and was killed in Hutou Mountain, and my army on the West Road took the Ma family generals as the main force, and it is still gratifying to expect that even if the Ma family does not take the initiative to worship Hutou Mountain, I will definitely make this decision.

Besides, Hutou Mountain deviates from the official road, and when we go to worship, we will definitely not bring too many soldiers and horses, he can just spread his net there, and he has been waiting for the rabbit.

This old guy really wants to be beautiful. ”

"How are you going to deal with it?"

"Coping? Hehe," Tianlang gradually narrowed his eyes, and on his pursed lips, the furrow of the broken killing line was deeper.

"Of course, the plan is calculated, although the intelligence does not prove where Shang Kexi's ambush is, it has already proved that his ambush will never go to both sides of the official road in Changde again.

Then I led a part of Hou Xing's soldiers and horses and the cavalry of the Jinyi Guards to Changde, destroying his lair in one fell swoop, and then led his troops back to join the Shangzhu Kingdom.

Let Shang Kexi fight his ambush, I think he will not have a sense of time, about three or five days, no matter whether I can successfully take Changde, he will not be able to sit still if he sees us fall into the net

。

In this way, he will definitely send spies out of the mountain to inquire, and Shangzhuguo can wait at the bottom of the mountain, so that he will be arrested.

If he still hesitates and waits for me to lead the army back, then he will go down the mountain and fight with us then. ”

"Long live, why don't you let Wan Nian or Gong Ming attack Changde?"

"No, Shangzhu Country, the Stone Pillar Army has been taking the lead for several days, and my Jinyi Guards are not a group of cowards, they are now slandering their military exploits in their hearts and robbing them of all by the Stone Pillar Army.

I led them to take Changde, also to boost the morale of the army. ”

"Long live, even though the Changde garrison is not numerous, it is also the elite of the Han army in Liaodong, and it cannot be taken lightly.

Moreover, the intelligence said that Shang Kexi's reinforcements who came to Chenzhou before were estimated to be 9,000 people, and these elite battles in Liaodong would never be like the previous Yuanzhou and Chenzhou, where the Qing army would surrender as soon as it came into contact with my family.

They will certainly be the biggest trouble our army has encountered since it entered Huguang. ”

"If there is no trouble, how can we attack with Li Dingguo and Li Jin, and Qi Zheng is compatible? Since I ascended the throne, all the battles I have experienced and the enemies I have faced have all been great troubles, but what has been the result? Haven't I stood here and listened to Shangzhuguo's teaching of the way of soldiers? ”

Qin Liangyu groaned, and suddenly got up after a while, "Long live Since your mind has been decided, the minister also expects that such a plan is at least seventy percent sure, so it is arranged like this, and the minister is at the foot of Hutou Mountain, waiting for the good news of Long live." ”

Tianlang stroked his palms and said loudly: "Okay, when we win Changde, it is still gratifying to have a crippled play, and our monarchs and ministers will worship Ma Fubo together." ”

Tianlang and Qin Liangyu excitedly high-fived together, and then looked at each other and laughed.

After walking for a while, Qin Liangyu quietly turned around to look at the young emperor.

At this time, the female military god seemed calm, but her heart was fluctuating.

People say that they are born as gods, and most of them are lonely, and Qin Liangyu is not exempt from vulgarity.

In her life, in addition to her relatives and lovers, in the huge dynasty, the female military god has never met such a confidant as Tianlang, and it seems that on the battlefield she has experienced, she is the only one who is fighting hard.

Her lover and relatives left her one by one, and her bloodshed and sacrifice have always been a joke in the eyes of Paoze.

Qin Liangyu has no friends, no comrades-in-arms, Tianlang is the first one she has met in this life, the first comrade-in-arms who is willing to give her back to herself and is willing to stand out for her.

In a trance, the female military god remembered those old things again, the age is like this, life is so ups and downs, and memories are like boxes that can be automatically opened at any time.

What jumped out of it was never the comfortable life I liked, not the female celebrity in the quiet corner, and some, only the war that could not be fought.

On the way from Guizhou, in addition to thinking of her husband, she always thought of her younger brother who sacrificed here, Qin Minping.

It was because he was too isolated by Paoze, in a series of battles to pacify extravagant Chongming in the first year of the Apocalypse, although Qin Minping was promoted to a general with great merit, he was promoted to deputy general in the following year.

But Qin Minping's leap only made people see that the Emperor of the Apocalypse attached great importance to the generals of the Shizhu Army, but it did not mean that the robes also gave the slightest respect to these wolf soldiers.

Yes, just more jealousy and ridicule from other generals.
