Chapter 104: Sending Troops

The moon was dark and the wind was high, and in the county town of Lishui, soldiers in full armor lined up with torches to patrol by.

The man in his nightwear lurked beside the cart on the corner, and when the crowd was farther away, he leaped onto the roof, and in a few ups and downs he reached the top of the eaves of the largest inn in the city.

"Knock-"

The man in black rolled over to the corridor on the second floor and knocked softly on the wooden door of the dark room.

"The white lotus descends to earth, and all the people turn over." A dull male voice came from the room.

The man in black responded softly: "Maitreya was born, and King Ming was born." ”

"Crunch." The door opened, and the man in black flashed in.

"Yu Kang actually came with a holy decree......"

"I already know, Liu Huashi has already gone to find Yu Kang......"

"I can't help but be sick, so if Yu Kang wants to make a difference, he only relies on Liu Hua...... Hehe...... "In the darkness, a faint voice came from the room.

The sky was bright, and the roosters in the city began to call tirelessly, and the soldiers in the barracks also began their daily exercises, and the shouting and killing were passed from afar.

Wei Qingqing quietly turned over, and then poked his head out and peeked down - the man was still asleep with his eyes closed, as if he was so tired from the continuous running that the continuous snoring echoed the rooster and dog barking outside the window......

After thinking for a moment, Wei Qingqing still sat up and quietly got out of bed, and was about to step over this person, when he suddenly heard a dull yawn.

"Hmm-" Chen Xian looked at the little Taoist priest standing on him with a shocked face, and said in amazement: "What are you going to do to the teacher!" I'm a serious person......"

Wei Qingqing glared, and subconsciously jumped outward, looking frightened as if he had met some perverted uncle......

After a while, Chen Xian walked out of the room neatly dressed and carried his hands, but Wei Qingqing followed behind like an angry little daughter-in-law......

Walking all the way to Xingyuan, I saw Yu Kang and Liu Dexin, the deputy commander-in-chief, looking at each other at a battle report thrown on the table.

Yu Kang's eyes were blood-red, obviously sleepless.

"Okay!" He looked up and caught a glimpse of Chen Xian, his expression was shocked, and he pointed to the battle report on the table and said: "Last night, Tao Deer led a large number of men and horses to besiege Yunhe County, I can't wait any longer, I want to send troops immediately!" ”

Chen Xian frowned and glanced at the battle report, then looked at the location of Yunhe County on the map, and said: "Tao Deer only has two thousand soldiers and horses in Chuzhou, so he dares to besiege Yunhe?" ”

"This battle report can still be fake!" Yu Kang glared, and was about to say something, but saw Chen Xian winking at him, and then glanced at Liu Dexin, so he suddenly turned his head sideways and said, "General Liu, please go to the camp immediately to prepare your troops and horses......

Liu Dexin glanced at Chen Xian suspiciously, and then at Yu Kang, he knew that the new general soldier didn't seem to trust him enough, so he arched his hand and reluctantly took the order.

As soon as Liu Dexin left, Chen Xian raised his hand and pointed to the location representing Yunhe County on the map, and said: "There is the Fuyun River in the south of Yunhe County, and there are mountain passes such as Bailong Mountain, Shifeng, and Yunji Mountain in the east and west, and the city wall of Yunhe County was rebuilt in the third year of orthodoxy. ”

"Besides, Tao Deer has already occupied the two counties of Qingyuan and Jingning for more than a month, according to Ye Zongliu's previous methods, they are often constantly fighting for the purpose of plundering and expanding the number of troops, and they occupy the two counties of Qingyuan and Jingning, perhaps in order to control the main road into Fujian......"

"But Yunhe County ......"

Yu Kang was stunned for a moment, raised his hand and pointed to the location of Yunhe County on the map, and thought: "This Yunhe County is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is located in the center of Chuzhou, and its position in controlling the main road into Fujian is really difficult to compare with Qingyuan and Jingning......

"Yes!" Chen Xian nodded and said with a smile: "Although I am not good at the art of war, I know a truth, all military operations are to serve a basic goal, or to conquer cities, occupy territory, or occupy passes, and wait for work, in the final analysis, it is for the sake of profit......

"So, what do you mean......" Yu Kang hesitated: "We don't send troops?" ”

Chen Xian smiled: "Send troops, why don't you send troops!" We will do whatever the enemy wants us to do......"

3,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry slowly marched out of the large camp outside Lishui County at noon.

Before sending troops, the new commander-in-chief Yu Kang, accompanied by Yushi Liuhua and deputy commander-in-chief Liu Dexin, held a huge oath-taking meeting, and Yu Zongbing made a passionate speech at the conference, vowing to be different from the rebels of the White Lotus Sect......

Dozens of scouts scattered out first, and then the five hundred cavalry led by Liu Dexin took the vanguard, and the last three thousand foot soldiers had bright armor, high morale, and great momentum, I am afraid that those who are two miles away can see it clearly......

Lishui County is only seventy miles away from Yunhe County, if it is lightly armed, the speed of the former forward cavalry can only be reached in half a day, but Yu Zongbing is obviously a cautious person, but he fights steadily and steadily, and the march will be repaired in situ for two hours, and no one is allowed to break through easily, but in the evening, the army has just crossed Lishui Creek, which is half the way......

The only way from Lishui County to Yunhe County is a trail between the five dense stone mountains of Dashanyuan Mountain, Xiangshan, Bailong Mountain, Shifeng and Xiangshan, and the trail intersects two roads between the five mountains, and the south is the only way to go to Jingning County, and the west is to Yunhe County.

There was no moon tonight, the sky was dark, and the strong wind was blowing from the mountains, although there was no chill, but it still sent chills down the spine.

From a distance, you can see Bailong Mountain and Xiangshan sleeping in the dark, like two giant beasts that choose people to devour, and countless fires are reflected in the floating cloud river that flows slowly around them, and the torches in the hands of those soldiers are like soul-hooking lights in the water......

Liu Dexin frowned and looked ahead, it was pitch black.

He hesitated for a moment, but finally raised the whip in his hand: "Stop!" ”

He turned his horse's head and marched along the Fuyun River to the rear army, and saw Yu Kang who was guarded by a group of guards from a distance, he knew that the decision to go to the chief soldier at this moment was really a bit self-defeating, but the road ahead was dangerous and unknown, as a pioneer, he had to remind the chief soldier no matter what.

"Lord Commander!" Liu Dexin turned over and dismounted and walked in front of Yu Kang.

"Oh?" The corners of Yu Kang's mouth raised, and he laughed loudly: "What's the matter with Lord Liu?" ”

Liu Dexin couldn't laugh, he arched his hand, and said with a serious face: "I'm afraid that the general soldier doesn't know how mountainous the state is, and our army will go into the mountains further on, there is no moon and no light today, if the bandits of the White Lotus Sect set up an ambush in the mountains, my army may be difficult to deal with!" ”
