Chapter 83: Disappearing into thin air

After Xia Yu returned to the battle, he said to Li Shimin: "Brother Li, there is something I don't know if you dare to do?" ”

"Oh?" Li Shimin became interested.

Xia Yu unfolded the military topographic map on the spot: "Brother Li, not far from Jiangyun County is the Tiger Prison Pass. This is the place where the Sui army and the Wagang army compete. We also advanced to the west of Tiger Pass, a stone forest with complex terrain. Here, our fishermen profited, and our army could stay and use the baggage left over from the great war between the two sides. A small group of sergeants, we can also take prisoners and enrich the strength of our army. ”

"No, this is absolutely inappropriate, it is too risky to do this, once one of them finds out, we are not in danger." Luo Yu firmly disagreed.

When the young general heard Xia Yu's proposal, he felt that this matter was fresh and interesting, and he had to give it a try.

Everyone's eyes were all focused on Li Shimin, after all, he was the absolute leader of Qin Wangjun.

Li Shimin pondered for a long time, and pointed his finger at the stone forest on the military topographic map: "General Xia, can you ensure our safety in this stone forest?" ”

This is the issue that Li Shimin is most concerned about.

Xia Yu scratched his head: "It should be, no problem." ”

Luo Yu immediately said: "From General Xia's tone, I can't hear any guarantees, and please think twice about the third son." ”

Li Shimin thought quickly for a while in his heart, after all, the strength of their current army is really not enough, 1,700 people, and any army can destroy them.

Horses have no night grass and no fertilizer, people have no windfall and no wealth, rather than slowly developing and growing, it is better to take risks and give it a try.

Along the way from Xihe County, Xia Yu has never let him down, and he believes that this time will not be.

When he raised his head again, Li Shimin had already made a decision in his heart: "As General Xia said, we will advance into that stone forest and wait for the opportunity to move." ”

"But......" Luo Yu still wanted to speak.

Li Shimin interrupted: "General Luo, General Xia not only has the courage to be stubborn, but also has the wisdom to shock the world. We have to have faith in him! ”

Luo Yu sighed and glanced at the young generals here, all of whom had eager expressions on their faces, so they had to nod silently.

Tiger Prison Pass is a checkpoint near Luokoucang.

As a famous grain and grass in the Sui Dynasty, the amount of grain and grass hoarded here is huge.

If the Wagang army occupies Luokoucang, the momentum will be even greater, directly threatening the unified governance of the Sui Dynasty; If the Sui army held Luokoucang, it would effectively curb the development of the Wagang army.

Therefore, Luokoucang is a place where both armies are determined to win.

Both sides invested more than 50,000 troops, and the battle was extremely tragic, and all the soil on the ground of the Tiger Prison Pass was stained red with blood.

When they came to the nameless stone forest in the west, everyone saw that there was a large stone pillar here, towering in the sky, and it seemed that each one looked similar.

If you are not familiar with the terrain, you will inevitably get lost when you enter it.

"Report, General Xia, we found a cave in the stone forest."

"Let's go, take us to see it!"

The military academy took Xia Yu to the entrance of the cave, and after entering it, the terrain inside was also intricate, and there were countless stone stalactites hanging from the top of the cave, and milky white liquid was dripping down the tip.

Xia Yu asked Li Shimin to gather all the sergeants in the cave and explore the inside of the cave.

Deep in the cave is a large clearing, and there is also a relatively small area on the right.

"We rest in the cave during the day and come out at night, but we go to the battlefield to see if there is any windfall."

After everyone discussed, Cheng Yanjin raised a question: "Our grain and grass are only enough to eat for seven days, what should we do after the grain and grass are eaten?" ”

Everyone was shocked at the same time, this is a big problem that needs to be solved, there is food in the army, there is no panic in the heart, if there is no food, no matter how awesome the team will collapse without a fight.

Xia Yu ordered the soldiers to collect the things that dripped from the stalactites and put them in a cauldron: "If we run out of food and grass, drink these things!" ”

"Do you really have to drink these things?"

Xia Yu filled a bowl and drank it: "This thing can be a great supplement, not only can quench thirst, but also satisfy hunger, and most importantly, it is useful for men, and it can cure the disease of 'widows and diseases'." ”

Curing the disease of "widows and diseases" is nonsense for Xia Yu, but the lotion of stone stalactites does have the effect of strengthening the body.

Su Xun hurriedly drank a big bowl and said continuously: "It tastes really good." ”

Cheng bit Jin and said, "Su Xun, you don't really have that symptom, right?" ”

"You have it, your whole family has it!"

Su Xun jumped to his feet angrily.

Ignoring this pair of living treasures, he took five hundred Qin Wang Jun to make a special mark on the stone pillars in the stone forest.

Walking to the edge of the stone forest, I saw chariots side by side, and the main generals sitting on the chariots were calmly responding to the enemy's attack.

The sound of killing shook the sky!

The two sides are at war back and forth.

From the very edge of the Stone Forest, a team was busy, very far away from the Chinese army.

This was really an unexpected joy, Xia Yu secretly made a gesture to the sergeants, and the sergeants quietly approached behind the squad with a white cloth coated with special fainting medicine in their hands.

Before they could react, they were put down by these sergeants and dragged back to the stone forest.

Luo Yu walked up and down the cave.

"Third son, General Xia has been out for a long time, and he hasn't come back yet, don't have any accidents."

"It's okay, just take a look."

Luo Yu and the sergeant were about to go out, and Xia Yu came back with the sergeant, with a squad of prisoners behind him.

Xia Yu escorted them all to another open space on the right and ordered them to starve for three days.

After three days, if anyone is willing to surrender, let them eat.

If you don't surrender, continue to starve them for a few days.

After explaining all this, everyone gathered together to rest in place.

When the evening came, the people went out again to clean up the battlefield, and if they did not do it at night, it was usually in the early morning of the next day.

Taking advantage of this time difference, Xia Yu took the sergeants to the battlefield after the war.

From a distance, you can see that the inside of the camps on both sides is transparent with the torches and the gates closed.

A group of sergeants searched for useful baggage on the battlefield, such as siege wood, wheelbarrows, trebuchets, etc.

These are all large instruments and are rarely damaged.

It didn't take long for the sergeants to return with a full load.

At the same time, in the big tent of the Chinese army, Bing Yuanzhen said to Li Mi: "Li Gong, there is a strange thing on the battlefield today!" ”

Li Mi was dressed in a green shirt and had a round face, even if he didn't smile, everyone thought he was smiling. Often holding two dice in his hand, spinning around.

"What's weird? Mu Zhan, the commander of the right army, reported that one of his squads did not enter the battle and disappeared out of thin air. ”
