"General, only three leaders and a few guards!" Scout debriefing.

Four?

In this wave of operations, Zhao Poyu was a little confused.

Yesterday, Zhao Poyu led the army to clear the mountain bandits who attacked the Qin army, cut off the head of the mountain bandit leader, and sent people to throw them into the city under the jurisdiction of Lin Daqing.

For Lin Daqing, Zhao Poyu wanted to take his head.

They are-for-tat and never die.

Lin Daqing should have hid in Changbi Mountain, or cooperated with the Mu brothers to defend the Long Snake Valley.

Why did you send the three chiefs?

Zhao Poyu stroked his short beard, and when he thought about it for a while, he faintly guessed some questions.

Hum!

With a disdainful chuckle, Zhao Poyu said loudly: "Bring him over!" ”

"Whoa!"

The scout took orders and rode away.

At this time, several lieutenants with the army looked at Zhao Poyu together. They couldn't guess what Zhao Poyu meant, and they didn't know why the leader of the mountain bandits came.

"General, why don't you gather scouts to kill the bandits?" A lieutenant general asked suspiciously.

The Qin army, the mountain bandits were incompatible, and they marched all the way, and the mountain bandits from all walks of life often attacked the Qin army, injuring many Qin troops and slowing down the Qin army's marching speed.

Today, the leader of the mountain bandits in Changbi Mountain came, and it was clear that the weasel was giving the chicken a New Year's greeting, and he should kill the other party quickly.

"Yes, Lin Daqing and the Mu brothers are in cahoots, what they do is cruel and vicious, they can't stay, if the other party finds out the number of Qin army forwards, it will be even more unfavorable to our army." Other lieutenants will chimed in.

The other Zhonglang will be ready to express their opinions, and Zhao Poyu said in advance: "Zhao guesses that Lin Daqing sent three leaders to come, and he must plan to bet on both sides." ”

The Qin army killed the leader of the mountain bandits, as if he was looking for something.

However, if you can know the intentions of the mountain bandits, learn about the deployment of Changbi Mountain and Long Snake Valley, it is of great significance to kill and keep the leader of the mountain bandits.

The reason why Zhao Poyu came to this conclusion was because he understood what Lin Daqing had done.

Several Qin troops broke into Jianzhou, the mountain bandits led by Lin Daqing were like a lonely boat in the vast ocean, and the Mu brothers were still in danger, not to mention that the mountain bandits led by Lin Daqing would be wiped out by the Qin army at any time if they dared to make a mistake.

With Lin Daqing's cunning character, when he can get benefits, he will definitely oppose the Qin army.

Zhao Poyu's army did not stop, and the Qin army was still marching rapidly.

Half a moment later, the scout returned, followed by four people.

Lei Jie, the leader of the three bandits, had already noticed the menacing Qin army a few miles away.

Before the Jianzhou Uprising, Lei Jie was a lieutenant of the regular army of Jianzhou with Lin Daqing, and he had seen a powerful combat corps.

It's a pity that later, the Zhao Kang Empire declined, Jianzhou changed hands, and the empire's legions stationed in Jianzhou were scattered after the uprising, and many people went north to defect to Zhao Rui.

Noticing the Qin army from afar, he saw the momentum of the imperial legion in the Qin army, well-equipped and imposing.

After riding his horse closer, Lei Jie dismounted and saluted in front of the Qin army: "Lei Jie has seen General Zhao? ”

Zhao Poyu sat on horseback, his eyes looked at Lei Jie, this is a sturdy man, who may have been hidden in the mountains all the year round, his skin is dark, his face is vicissitudes, and he looks more and more fierce.

"Leader Lei, you are in danger and come from afar, I don't know what it means?"

"Lei is a native of Jianzhou, may I ask what the general means by coming from afar?" Lei Jie did not answer Zhao Poyu's question, let alone rush to express his intentions, and asked Zhao Poyu with his head held high.

"Bold!"

Hearing this, a lieutenant general of the Qin army drew his sword and pointed at Lei Jie and scolded.

Zhao Poyu looked at it, waved his hand to signal the general to put away his soldiers, looked up and smiled, and said loudly: "Jianzhou is the old land of the Zhao Kang Empire, stolen by traitorous ministers, for many years, the people of Jianzhou, Rongzhou, and Sichuan have been bullied by the Mu brothers and are in dire straits.

Our king married the princess of the Zhao Kang Empire, and now a certain army came to regain the old land of Zhao Kang and rescue the people who were enslaved by the Mu brothers, but also obeyed the princess's order, rescued the heirs and daughters of the Zhao Kang royal family, and killed the Mu brothers to avenge the Zhao Kang royal family.

Ben will lead the army to fight, and those who stand in my way will die! ”

Several Qin armies broke into Jianzhou, and according to Ji Xuanling's original intention, they expanded the territory of Qin.

However, the Qin army rushed into Jianzhou, and the Qin army was nameless, so in the name of Zhao Huanxi and under the banner of Zhao Kang's royal family, they claimed to recover the lost territory and eliminate the traitors.

Lei Jie asked, Zhao Poyu happened to have an excuse.

Moreover, what Zhao Poyu said, clearly told Lei Jie that if the mountain bandits in Changbi Mountain dared to attack the Qin army, they would definitely die.

Reconquista?

Rescue the Zhao Kang royal family?

Kill the Mu brothers to avenge the Zhao Kang royal family?

What a high-sounding reason.

When Lei Jie heard this, he despised Zhao Poyu, and even more despised the Qin army's attempt to occupy Jianzhou.

In front of the powerful Qin army, Lei Jie did not dare to openly accuse Zhao Poyu.

However, living in Changbi Mountain all the year round, Lei Jie is very clear about what the Mu brothers did in Jianzhou, and he knows better the attitude of the people in the three places of Jianzhou towards the Mu brothers and the mountain bandits in Changbi Mountain.

Indeed, the two sides have long been incompatible.

Lei Jie exhaled secretly and said loudly: "The Qin army has entered Jianzhou, currently occupying Hanhai County, breaking into Changliu County, all the way is like splitting bamboo, but it is a pity that from Hanhai County to Boyang County, the terrain is dangerous all the way, the road is worried, and the general may not be able to go to Boyang County easily." ”

"Huh!"

Zhao Poyu sneered contemptuously.

The Long Snake Valley is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Qin army led by him cannot easily break through.

In Changliu County, Guo Jikang and Gongsun Ang led the Qin army, but they could easily enter Boyang County from Changliu County, and when Jingliang City was in danger, the army stationed in Changsnake Valley would be forced to return to help and defend Jingliang City.

This time, he still has a chance.

"Leader Thunder, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it!" Zhao Poyu said coldly, unwilling to waste time on Lei Jie.

Lei Jie glanced at the attendant next to him and waved his hand to back away.

"General Zhao, the one husband of the Long Snake Valley is the one who is not destroyed, the miasma in the Changbi Mountain is perennial, the general leads the army to come, it is difficult to break through the Long Snake Valley and step into Boyang County without assistance!" Lei Jie said, paused, and said with a cautious expression: "Today, Mu Heng sent General Guo Mang to arrange troops in the Long Snake Valley, and it is even more difficult for the general to go to Boyang County. ”

Lei Jie made it clear about the situation in the Long Snake Valley, and always paid close attention to Zhao Poyu's expression, but unfortunately Zhao Poyu's face did not change, as if he was not interested in his words.

Taking a deep breath, Lei Jie approached Zhao Poyu and whispered: "If the general can raise his noble hand, forgive the righteous army in Changbi Mountain, and ensure our interests, my eldest brother is willing to lead the righteous army to help the general deal with Guo Mang, and ensure that the general will lead the army to easily capture the Long Snake Valley, lead the army into Boyang County, and come to the outside of Jingliang City." ”

Mu Heng really stationed troops in the Long Snake Valley in advance.

When Zhao Poyu learned of the situation in the Long Snake Valley, he couldn't help but sigh.

Fighting westward was more difficult than he had imagined.

Zhao Poyu stared at Lei Jie with cold eyes, and his expression was as cold as ice: "This general led the army to kill all the way, and the mountain bandits from all over the country often attacked and harassed the Qin army, but they were all killed by the Qin army under the command of this general, and it is rumored that there is the largest mountain bandit in Jianzhou in Changbi Mountain, Leader Lei, how do you make this general believe in you and Lin Daqing?" ”

Lei Jie's intention, as Zhao Poyu expected, Lin Daqing did intend to bet on both sides to fight for his own interests.

However, the mountain bandits are cunning, and Lin Daqing sees the wind and rudder, and he is not trustworthy.

Zhao Poyu served as the forward general of the Qin army, and he didn't dare to easily trust Lei Jie and Lin Daqing.

"Trust is built on the common good!" Lei Jie said without changing his face.

After hesitating, Lei Jie asked tentatively: "If the general is willing to protect the interests of the Changbi Mountain Righteous Army, Lei can give the general the defense map of the Long Snake Valley and Guo Mang's army, and in addition, explain Guo Mang's battle plan to the general." ”

"Say it!" Zhao Poyu said coldly: "If your news is useful, General Ben may be able to change his mind." ”

If he could learn about Guo Mang's deployment in the Long Snake Valley and the number of troops led by Guo Mang, he would have prepared in advance and decided whether to risk crossing the Long Snake Valley.

Lei Jie failed to get an answer, but was aggressively questioned by Zhao Poyu, and he hesitated for a while.

Afraid of telling Guo Mang's defense in the Long Snake Valley, the mountain bandits lost their use value, and they were afraid that they would refuse to answer Zhao Poyu's inquiry, and the other party would not give him a chance to negotiate.

Lei Jie was silent for a long time, and said bitterly: "If the general can't guarantee the interests of the Changbi Mountain Righteous Army, Shu Lei can't tell the general Guo Mang to deploy defenses in the Long Snake Valley, however, Lei can tell the general that Guo Mang is stationed 70,000 county soldiers on both sides of the Long Snake Valley, and is building all kinds of fortifications. Forcing into the valley will inevitably destroy the whole army. ”

"Seventy thousand!"

"It's not a small amount!"

Zhao Poyu nodded, in fact, he was very surprised, he didn't expect the Mu brothers to flee back to Jianzhou in a hurry, when the Qin army cleared Yancheng and the mountain bandits in Hancheng, the Mu brothers gathered so many troops, and arranged them in the treacherous terrain of the Long Snake Valley.

This move was indeed able to stop the Qin army in the northeast of Changbi Mountain.

"Haha, as far as the general knows, the Mu family army suffered heavy losses in the northern Xinjiang, and there are not many elites who fled back to Jianzhou in embarrassment, and the Mu brothers temporarily hastily gathered 70,000 elites to arrange in the Long Snake Valley, and the defense in the south must be empty and lax.

The general led the army to encounter the resistance of Guo Mang's army, and he could stay in the eastern part of Changpi Mountain, waiting for the Qin army in the south to enter Boyang County, and when Guo Mang led the army back to help, he would lead the shuttle through the Long Snake Valley, so Guo Mang stationed 70,000 county soldiers in the Long Snake Valley was not a big problem for the general at all. Zhao Poyu said.

In fact, he was pretending to be calm.

Lin Jianlu asked him that he must rush ahead of Guo Jikang and Gongsun Ang and enter Boyang County in advance, and it is best to arrive at Jingliang City early and trap the children of the Mu family in the city.

Despite this, Regerio wanted to use it to blackmail him.

Paying attention to the change in Lei Jie's complexion, Zhao Poyu said: "Leader Lei, if Lin Daqing had surrendered to Qin sincerely, he would have been able to guarantee that he would not die, but if he wanted to protect the interests of Changbi Mountain, he still needed to make meritorious contributions. If you bring Guo Mang's head, General Ben will promise you immediately. ”

Guo Mang's head.

How is this possible?

Ray was a little angry.

After all, Guo Mang stayed in the barracks, with 70,000 county soldiers around him, and even if the most elite assassin went to assassinate Guo Mang, he could not take his head.

"General Guo, Lei doesn't dare to agree to this matter, and he can't do it, all Lei can do is to tell General Guo Mang's defense in the Long Snake Valley!" Lei Jie said.

"Okay, Ben will promise you!" Zhao Poyu said.

At this time, he must find out Guo Mang's deployment as soon as possible, and what is the conspiracy between Lin Daqing and Guo Mang, so as to avoid unnecessary casualties for the Qin army.

Hearing this, Lei Jie still didn't easily believe Zhao Poyu, and his expression was still very vigilant: "The general killed mountain bandits all over the country along the way, and it is difficult to convince the public with verbal promises alone." ”

"Huh!"

"Zhao Mou gave you a verbal promise, which is enough for you to save face, otherwise, let the marshal know, and you will definitely never forgive the mountain bandits in Changbi Mountain, Lei Jie, if you know the current affairs, you can lead the army to surrender to Qin in advance, and this general will guarantee you the glory and wealth of the rest of your life!" Zhao Poyu has a tough attitude and is not afraid of Lei Jie's blackmail.

Lei Jie knew what Zhao Poyu meant behind what he said.

Changbi Mountain can't stop the Qin army, even if the Qin army led by Zhao Poyu is blocked in a short time, the Qin army in the south can still easily enter Boyang County, if Jianzhou falls, they stay in Changbi Mountain, and sooner or later they will be annihilated by the Qin army.

Lei Jie swallowed his saliva, very helpless.

After hesitating for a long time, he raised his head and said, "Okay, Lei believes in the general!" ”

Deciding to believe Zhao Poyu, Lei Jie did not hide anything, and put Guo Mang's plan, including sending Lin Daqing to attack the Qin army, luring Zhao Poyu to lead the army into the valley, annihilating the Qin army's vanguard in the valley, and ambushing the Lin Jian Law Firm with soldiers outside the valley.

Hearing what Lei Jie said, Zhao Poyu couldn't help but gasp, Guo Mang was insidious enough to come up with such a way to deal with Qin Jun.

If he didn't know Guo Mang's arrangement in advance, and when he led the army to chase and kill Lin Daqing's mountain bandits, he boldly broke into the Long Snake Valley, and the elite of the vanguard he led would definitely be buried in the valley.

Guo Mang is a thief, and he is really cunning.

Several Qin army lieutenant generals next to them heard what Lei Jie said, and their faces also showed surprise.

Changbi Mountain, Long Snake Valley, danger is close at hand!

Several Zhonglang generals planned to quickly discuss the solution with Zhao Poyu, but Lei Jie was still by his side, and they couldn't say anything.

However, a lieutenant will ask Lei Jie: "Leader Lei, is the news you brought true?" Isn't it Mu Heng's suspicious array? ”

At present, the Qin army scouts have not yet sent back the news about the Long Snake Valley, and they can't rely on Lei Jie's words alone and directly trust the other party.

"Leader Lei, Zhao believes it!" Zhao Polu interrupted the words of the partial general, and said directly: "Since we are cooperating, the two sides should show some sincerity, now Guo Mang wants to send Leader Lin to lead the righteous army to attack the Qin army, and he must be ready to kill two birds with one stone, and when resisting the Qin army, take the opportunity to eradicate the rebel army in Changbi Mountain, if the leader of Lei believes in Zhao, Zhao has a plan, which can not only ensure the safety of the rebel army in Changbi Mountain, but also the Qin army can easily capture Changbi Mountain!" ”

Zhao Poyu dismounted and approached Lei Jie, leaned over and muttered a few words in Lei Jie's ear.

Hearing this, Lei Jie's eyes widened, he looked at Zhao Poyu in astonishment, swallowed his saliva, and said with difficulty: "General Zhao's plan is too risky, Lei can't be the master alone, if the general believes in Lei, please wait for half a day, wait for Lei to return to the barracks, and after discussing with the eldest brother and second brother, give the general an answer as soon as possible." ”

"So much the best!" Guo Poyu nodded and reminded: "This battle can kill Guo Mang and break through the defense line of the Long Snake Valley, Leader Lei and Leader Lin are indispensable, I believe that the marshal will definitely protect your interests in Changbi Mountain." ”
