"General Chen, what do you think of the family in Yanzhou?" Lu Zhan gathered Chen Zhuang, Luo Yuechan, and Duan Xiaohan in the secret room of the Lu family to discuss.

After Chen Zhuang took a sip of the tea made by Luo Yuechan herself, he said slowly, "Most of the families in Yanzhou obey the lord, but there are still a small number of families headed by the Huo family who are yang and yin to the lord, the power of the Huo family is in the mountains north of Yanzhou, this Huo family is in charge of the commercial route from Yanzhou to the north, and the local mountain people are equivalent to the private belongings of the Huo family." ”

The mountain people have been a source of high-quality soldiers since ancient times, and the Wudang Flying Army of Zhuge Wuhou during the Three Kingdoms period was composed of mountain people from ethnic minorities in the south at that time.

With money and high-quality soldiers, the Huo family has always been a tyrant in northern Yanzhou in the past with more than 2,000 private soldiers. After taking over Yanzhou, the relationship with the Jin State has not been good, and the relationship between the Huo family and the Jin State has always been relatively close.

"The lord wants me to say that I have done the Huo family directly, and there are only more than 2,000 people, let's attack one by one, and capture the king first." Duan Xiaohan made a decapitation gesture.

Luo Yuechan raised an objection, put down the teacup in her hand and said softly: "Lord Duan doesn't know, this Huo family's old mansion is not in Yanzhou, and the Huo family's mansion in Yanzhou is only run by a son of the Huo family. The Huo family's old mansion is hidden deep in the mountains, and it is not so easy to break through with natural risks. ”

Chen Zhuang also nodded in agreement, and after taking Luo Yuechan's words, he continued, "The Huo family's old mansion is extremely strong and dangerous, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to take it by force, and the mountain road is rugged, and this artillery is useless. ”

Listening to the discussion of several people, it is roughly that the Huo family has to rely on pacification rather than force, because even if it is defeated by force, it will pay a great price.

Lu Zhan suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, when he went to college, there would be a compulsory course on military theory, and one of the classes was about the most devoid line of defense in human history - the Maginot Line. The defensive line built by the French government after World War I did not stop the Germans, because the Germans directly bypassed the defensive line.

"Everyone, be quiet, can we bypass the checkpoint set up by the Huo family along the mountain road and come to a divine soldier descending from the sky."

Luo Yuechan frowned after hearing Lu Zhan's words, "This Huo family is also deep-rooted, if you want to bypass it, you have to find other paths, but what we can know about the Huo family should also know." ”

After hearing Luo Yuechan's words, Lu Zhan fell into contemplation again, although his words were reasonable, his plan was not impossible, just like Deng Ai's means of attacking Shudu in Yinping. As long as you find the Huo family's unguarded or laxly guarded path, you can also do it.

"Don't worry, my lord, I will arrange for someone to go and find out if there is a path leading to the Huo family." After hearing Lu Zhan's arrangement, Duan Xiaohan stood up and took the order.

In addition to sending people to investigate, Xiaohan also had to learn to buy off local hunters and mountain people, who had lived in the mountains for generations. People who make a living in the mountains are all too familiar with the roads in the mountains. ”

"Well, I'll pay attention."

After agreeing on a strategy, the four of them walked out of the secret room. On the surface, Yanzhou is still calm, and the new troops in Yanzhou also train normally, but the training subjects have become rock climbing and jungle warfare.

When a group of mountain people were peddling mountain goods at the entrance of the village, they saw a familiar big boss, "Boss Huang, you are here again, look at the mountain goods I have here, they are of the best quality." ”

"Old Ge, your goods have always been good, I took them all." Boss Huang said as he asked his subordinates to take out the silver and hand it to the mountain people.

"Yo, Boss Huang brought a few newcomers over today." Ge Lao looked at Boss Huang's team with a few more people he had never seen before.

"Bring some newcomers to come and practice, by the way, Ge Lao, you don't know the mountain roads in the mountains."

"Boss Huang, look at what you said, the old man has been in the mountains since he was a child, collecting medicine at the age of eight, and killing the wild wolf with a hunting bow at the age of thirteen, I am very familiar with the road in the mountains."

Seeing Ge Lao boasting to himself, several people in the caravan made eye contact and found an excuse to talk to Ge Lao.

In a dilapidated hut, a couple of strong men and a hunter sat on improvised furniture and talked.

"Are you telling the truth?"

"Of course, as long as you lead us to find the way, the bounty we give you is enough to keep you from eating and drinking for half your life."

The hunter looked at his dilapidated house and his still single self, and decided to fight for it, and once he succeeded, he would use the reward money to buy a few acres of land and marry a wife.

In recent days, all kinds of news have slowly gathered into Lu Zhan's hands, and through many inquiries and field investigations, this line has been touched.

A path leading directly to the back mountain of the Huo family was finally discovered, although the Huo family had some guards there, but through the observation of the last few days, it was found that these people were not very vigilant, and it is estimated that no one had ever thought that there would be an enemy raid from the back mountain.

"Now that the New Year is approaching, the Huo family must be lax in their defenses, and it will soon be time for us to eliminate the Huo family's opponent in one fell swoop." Lu Zhan began to arrange tasks in the secret room.

Under the pretext of the last exercise a year ago, the defense was deployed to the border between Yanzhou and the Jin Kingdom, which was not too far from the location of the Huo family's old house, and it was even more difficult to identify the traces after the troops dived into the mountains.

The people of the secret guard will pretend to be bandits to attack the village at night, and the people of the Huo family will definitely think that it is a bandit who committed the crime, so the private soldiers of the Huo family will definitely send out some pursuit of the secret guards, and at this time give the Huo family a thunderous blow.

The elite troops were responsible for the sneak attack, and the main force was responsible for cleaning up and sweeping the tail, and after everything was arranged, Lu Zhan began to mobilize manpower.

The current head of the Huo family is Huo Qiren, who has been restless since he sent people to hunt down the bandits yesterday. There is always a feeling that something bad is going to happen.

"Dashan, is there anything unusual in the family right now?"

"Back to the master, there is nothing abnormal happening at the end of the year."

After Huo Qiren asked the people to retreat from the mountain, he added some coals to the stove in the house. As I closed my eyes and looked at the darkening sky, I thought it was time to finish my meal again.

Suddenly, the sound of a fight reached Huo Qiren's ears, "What happened?" Big mountains? Where are you? ”

Huo Qiren hadn't heard the sound of fighting for a long time, and when Huo Qiren walked out of the courtyard, he saw Duan Xiaohan brandishing a big knife and rushing in with a group of elite soldiers.

Where did these people come from, and have the checkpoints set up on the mountain road been quietly pulled out?

"The people from Yanzhou, the old man, have come from the back mountain, and the people at home can't stop them, so run away." Dashan stumbled over and tried to drag Huo Qiren away.
