Li Guoqiu, the military advisor of the Jurchen army, sat in his tent, his face unkempt and his beard unkempt, and his eyes were bloodshot. On the table in front of him was a mess of papers, on which various shapes were drawn with brushes.

In the past few days, Li Guoqiu racked his brains to find a way to deal with the firearms of the Luoyan Army. It's not just because of Wanyan Aguda's scolding, asking him to come up with a way. At the same time, it is also something that he desperately wants to do in his own heart.

Judging from various circumstances, Lin Jue, the commander of the Luoyan Army, has already exposed his identity in Li Guoqiu's mind. Li Guoqiu collected and inquired about the deeds and experiences of this person named Lin Jue, and finally determined that this person's identity must be the same as himself, not a person from this world.

After confirming this matter, it did not bring Li Guoqiu a sense of being in a foreign land, but on the contrary, it brought great panic and jealousy. Originally, the fact that he was also a traverser was already overwhelming, but after crossing here, Lin Jue was obviously better than himself, he was already one of the characters in the world, and he also made firearms. On the other hand, he has achieved nothing so far, so he can only defect to the Jurchens and want to get a piece of the pie with the help of the power of the Jurchens. Compared with Lin Jue, this is already a world of difference.

As a traverser, he has more insight and knowledge than the people of the world, and naturally refuses to be resigned to mediocrity. Especially now, this world is the era when the strong survive and can enjoy life to the fullest. Reduced to a lowly people, how is that fate different from that of ants? So of course, Li Guoqiu hopes to be able to make a career. The identity he crossed was a descendant of the Southern Tang Dynasty royal family, which had long since been wiped out, but it had long since declined, and the entire family lived in seclusion in the mountains. Li Guoqiu, as one of the children, crossed possession at the age of sixteen, and had to be trapped in the deep mountains and old forests for the next twenty years. Because, the family rules are like this, as one of the many descendants of Li Tang, he is not the slightest special, and he is not allowed to leave the mountains at all.

During this time, he tried to run out and break through the world, but he soon discovered that the dangers of the outside world were impossible for him to survive. His status as a member of the Li Tang royal family not only failed to bring him any benefits, but would instead provoke right and wrong. He almost died outside, but fortunately, the elders of the family found out that he had escaped and immediately sent someone to arrest him, and both he and his parents were severely punished by the family. He himself was forced to sweep the ground for the family academy for three years in a row, and poured three years of and urine buckets. He was unwilling and eager to sell what he knew in his head, but as a result, the words he said about what kind of iron shell flew in the air, and what could be talked and chatted face-to-face thousands of miles away, were regarded as gibberish, and he was almost regarded by his people as a madman soaked in a pig cage. Only then did he realize that so many things he knew in his head that others didn't know actually couldn't help him get what he wanted easily. On the contrary, it is possible to kill him.

After that, Li Guoqiu finally had to be patient and didn't dare to make mistakes, with more knowledge and insight than others, ten years later, he gradually gained some status in the family. He also knew that the hope of the family's restoration of the country had never been extinguished. Seizing this, he actively contributes ideas, after all, he knows more than others, which makes him stand out. In the past ten years, he has done a lot of things, delved into firearms, made armor, learned battle formations and the art of war, and gradually became the core figure of the family. And he himself finally set his goal on using his family's identity to restore the country. At least this matter is the hope of the whole family, and it will be supported by the financial, material and human resources of the whole family.

After twenty years of dormancy, the world has changed greatly, and Li Guoqiu thinks that the opportunity has come. He proposed to the patriarch the idea of recovering the country by the hand of the Jurchens. This was not his whim, and after twenty years of observation, he also realized that the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty was similar to the history of the world he came from. And a dynasty called the Great Song Dynasty of that era was destroyed by the Jurchens. The rise of the Jurchen tribe is the general trend of history, and he naturally wants to take advantage of the trend. In this way, he finally walked out of the deep mountains and came to the tent of Wanyan Aguda, and took the Tiefutu cavalry as a greeting gift, won the trust of Wanyan Aguda, and reached an agreement on cooperation. In the deep mountains, he tried to make firearms many times without success, naturally because this thing is too difficult to make, gunpowder and smelting technology cannot be overcome, and he himself has no ability to do this, because before the crossing, he was just a small owner who opened a shop, and the books he read have long been forgotten, where can he know these fine details. But he still made some things, such as the Iron Floating Tu armor, although it was something that later generations knew after watching the plot of Song Jin's battle in the TV series, but he really studied it. He thought that with Tiefutu, he could help the Jurchens sweep the Great Zhou, and he didn't need too many powerful things. However, after he came out, he learned that a man named Lin Jue had actually made a firearm a few years ago. With the battle between the Jurchen army and the Luoyan army, the firearms owned by Lin Jue appeared one by one, and he realized that he had already lagged behind Lin Jue too much. This person has become an obstacle to his goals. Therefore, you must defeat him, catch him, and empty the knowledge in his head. After owning a firearm, he doesn't have to send people to the fence, and his goal is not to stick to the restoration of the Southern Tang Dynasty. You can sweep the world by yourself.

Therefore, for Li Guoqiu, how to find a way to defeat Lin Jue and resist the opponent's firearms is no longer out of compulsion, but a conscious behavior. To some extent, he had already regarded the battle in front of him as a war between himself and Lin Jue. Although in fact, Lin Jue didn't even know that this Li Guoqiu was

Who, and the name Li Guoqiu actually doesn't have a special respect after hearing it, but Li Guoqiu's first target has been locked on Lin Jue.

In the past few days, Li Guoqiu racked his brains to find a way to resist the opponent's firearms. But there is no good way to do it for a while. Of course, there are means, but in this day and age, they are just utopian and cannot be realized. For example, he Li Guoqiu wanted to build a steel chariot or a bomber. In that case, any swarm of rockets and small grenades will lose their threat, and the defense of the hilltop city will be ignored at all and directly crush the opponent. But the problem is that it's just an unrealistic fantasy.

Looking at the large stack of drawings on the desk with all kinds of powerful weapons in memory, Li Guoqiu's brain was buzzing and irritable. He grabbed a few pieces of straw paper in front of him and tore them vigorously, venting the irritability in his heart. Just then, someone walked in at the door of the tent.

"Strategist, the big leader told you to go to the big tent to discuss matters. Please hurry up. "It's the personal guard soldiers next to Wanyan Aguda.

Li Guoqiu hurriedly got up and agreed, and his heart was even more irritable. The big chief asked himself again if he had come up with a solution. At this point, Wanyan Aguda should have just drunk wine. The temper must be bad. I'm going to be scolded again. Although in his own mind, Wanyan Aguda is not worth mentioning at all, but he is under the fence, and it is difficult to ride a tiger at the moment, so he has to deal with him with his anger, after all, he still needs to rely on his strength.

Li Guoqiu rushed to the big tent of the Chinese army with a worried mood, and outside the tent, he heard the rough laughter of Wanyan Agu from inside the tent. Li Guoqiu was very surprised, could it be that things had taken a turn for the better?

In the big tent of Wanyan Agu, there are more than a dozen generals sitting high and low, all of whom are high-ranking generals in the army. The men were grinning as if there was something really happy.

Seeing Li Guoqiu come in, Wanyan Agu nodded and smiled: "The military advisor is here, take a seat." ”

Li Guoqiu hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Great leader, I haven't found a solution yet, and I feel guilty and want to die." The big chief is relieved, in the next ......"

Wanyan Agu waved his hand and interrupted: "I know that you haven't come up with a way, counting on you, the daylilies are cold." I'm not here to ask about progress, I'm here to discuss things with us. By the way, you don't know yet, do you, here's a letter, you can read it for us first. Damn, we don't know half of Da Zhou's text, and we don't know anything about it, so you just read it to us completely. ”

Li Guoqiu's heart was relieved and he sighed. Wanyan Aguda handed over a crumpled parchment letterhead, and Li Guoqiu took it with both hands and began to read.

"Brother Ma Bin, seeing the words is like meeting. It has been more than a month since the younger brother led the army out of the mountains, during which he fought several battles with the enemy, and there were small victories, and now the morale of the army is high, and everything is going smoothly according to our previous plan. Now the Jurchens and the Lu thieves have joined forces, wanting to trap me on Changgang, intending to trap my army here. Not only do they have plenty of dry food in our army, but they also have water on the hills, and our army can support them for at least a few months. The thieves suffered from the firearms of my Luoyan army, and did not dare to attack again in a short time, so the situation of our army is safe, and I hope to inform the generals in the mountains that there is no need to worry. ”

Li Guoqiu read this short paragraph, and was puzzled in his heart, this letter came from nowhere, but this tone was like a letter sent to Funiu Mountain by someone in the Luoyan army. This tone, could it be a letter written by Lin Jue? He didn't have time to think about it, and he couldn't wait to keep reading.

“…… Now that I am in a safe position with my army, I am not afraid to wear them down. The Jurchens and Lu Thieves seem to be resourceful enough, and we were originally worried that after they learned that our Luoyan army would go out to fight in the mountains, they would adopt a strategy to avoid the edge of our army and attack our Funiu Mountain and Luoyan Valley, which would be the most worrying thing for us. But now it seems that they did not think of this at all. After all, there are only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in the mountains, and the parents and families of the soldiers are in the mountains, and they also have a large amount of grain and grass materials, which are the lifeblood of our army. Once Funiu Mountain is lost, the morale of our army will be scattered, and the general trend will go. Therefore, this must not be allowed to happen, otherwise it will be out of control. This is also the reason why the younger brother asked the elder brother to stay in the mountains to defend. The elder brother leads the army well and fights fearlessly, and the elder brother is responsible for such important things. But the younger brother is actually very worried, although the elder brother is brave and fearless and unmatched in the world, but after all, there are only 10,000 soldiers and horses, and he has to protect more than 100,000 women and children in the mountains, and protect the millions of grains and grass stored and a large number of materials. If the other side sends troops and horses to attack, it may be difficult to resist. Fortunately, these worries were already superfluous, and neither the Jurchens nor the old thief Lu had thought of this. The elder brother will also be anxious and worried, but the younger brother told the elder brother that reinforcements will soon arrive at Funiu Mountain, and the soldiers and horses in your hands will soon grow stronger, and even if the Jurchens and Lu Lao Thief wake up and want to attack Funiu Mountain, I am afraid that they will also return with a feather. ”

“…… The younger brother has only one request for the elder brother, and he will insist on it for another half a month to ensure the safety of the mountain, and the situation will inevitably be reversed at that time. The prince has already ascended the throne, and you must have learned the news, which is exactly my strategy to provoke Lu Thief and the Jurchens. The reason why the younger brother hastily invited the prince to ascend the throne as emperor was to attract the old thieves and Jurchens to come desperately to encircle and suppress our army, so that they would not pay attention to the Funiu Mountain. After the emperor ascended the throne, many local governments also responded positively and swore allegiance. Some state capitals in the land of Jianghuai and Bashu will send troops to respond, and you will be there after you receive this letter

Send people to contact it and gather soldiers and horses from all over the country in Funiu Mountain. You'll soon have a lot of troops on hand. I estimate that in half a month, your troops and horses will be expanded to 50,000 men, and then relying on the mountain, we will not be afraid of being taken advantage of by the enemy, which is also our only weakness. Now that the Jurchen army and the Lu thieves are attracted by our army, we will pretend that the food and supplies are not enough, attract their attention, let them continue to besiege us, and buy you more than ten days. I hope my brother will survive this time. ”

"My wife and children are here in the mountains, and my brother can take care of me and tell them that everything will turn around soon. Brothers should also take care of themselves, eat less wine, watch more, ask more questions, and think more to ensure that nothing goes wrong. On the day of meeting, we will talk about wine and brotherhood. Also: This letter should not be shown to others, and there is also eyeliner in the mountains, so as not to leak the intention. Burn immediately after reading, remember to remember. Put aside the pen, the younger brother Lin Jue wrote it himself. ”

Li Guoqiu read the letter in one go.

Even if he had already read this letter, because he didn't understand the writing of the Great Zhou, Wanyan Agu and his generals only read the general meaning. Therefore, when Li Guoqiu read the letter in its entirety at this moment, Wanyan Agu and the generals still listened attentively, and obtained information from it that they had not fully obtained before. At this moment, Wanyan Agu's big mouth was already smiling, and he knew the entire content of the letter.

"Hahaha, God help me. Lao Tzu always felt that something was wrong, always felt that something was not done, always felt that the situation should not be like this, and it seemed that there were things that should be done but not done. Now that this letter came, I realized that what I had been thinking about was to raid their lair. The Luoyan army is a bandit in the mountains, and there is no city territory outside the mountain, and the only nest is Funiu Mountain. As long as they take their nest, they have nothing to rely on. Not to mention that the food and grass supplies for the families and parents of these soldiers are still in the Funiu Mountain, isn't this a strategy to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle? Lao Tzu has never turned this corner, which is really stupid. Hahahaha. Wanyan Agu stroked his beard and laughed loudly. The Jurchen generals also burst out laughing.

Li Guoqiu also recovered from his surprise and hurriedly asked, "Great Chief, where did this letter come from?" This letter was written by Lin Jue? ”

Wanyan Agu laughed and said, "Didn't you see it? The signature at the end of the letter is Lin Jue, so which Lin Jue can there be? That Lin Jue also wanted to send the letter out with a carrier pigeon, but he didn't know that under the siege of my Jurchen army, even a fly would not want to fly out. I, Haidongqing messenger, have been hovering in the sky for so many days, and finally intercepted their carrier pigeons, hahaha, then Lin Jue is afraid that he still thinks that his letter has been sent. He didn't know that his letter just exposed all his thoughts and exposed his weakness. I really laughed at it. Just like when Yelu Zongyuan tried to dig a dam to release the flood and drown our army, we intercepted the information but didn't know it, and every move was under our control. Hehe, this Lin Jue is smart, but it's nothing more than that. ”

The generals laughed wildly and said, "Although that kid is full of wisdom, he doesn't have the cleverness of the big leader after all. It's ridiculous that he's still in the dark. ”

"Isn't it? Hai Dongqing has made a great contribution. The year before last, Yelu Zongyuan's poisonous plan was that Hai Dongqing intercepted the information, and now he has intercepted such an important letter. The big leader has to reward Hai Dongqing with some titles, and they can make a great contribution. ”

"Phew, what did you say? That's the big chief's clever means, and Hai Dongqing can't be born to intercept information, isn't it relying on the big chief's domestication and training? They won't know anything without a big boss to nurture them. This is the foresight of the big leader, and he began to domesticate Haidongqing for use in combat ten years ago. ”

“……”

Everyone was arguing passionately, patting sycophants, and flattering. Wanyan Agu twisted his yellow beard and smiled, which seemed to be extremely useful.

For some reason, Li Guoqiu faintly felt that his heart was a little unsteady, how unsteady, he couldn't say it for a while, he only frowned quietly and muttered.

Wanyan Aguda saw Li Guoqiu's appearance, and his heart was a little unhappy, and he frowned and asked, "Military advisor, you don't seem to be happy about this news, do you?" ”

Li Guoqiu hurriedly said: "Fei Ye, I want to ask, what does the big leader want to do next?" ”

Wanyan Agu laughed and said, "Isn't this discussing with you? My idea was to immediately send troops to capture Funiu Mountain and raid their lair. When we take Lin Jue's wife and children in our hands, will we see if he still surrenders obediently? Hmph, they actually played with me, deliberately attracting my army to besiege them and delay time. Now that we have insight into his intentions, he has no chance to deceive us. ”

Li Guoqiu smacked his lips and said, "Is the big leader going to send troops and horses to attack Funiu Mountain?" But what to do here? How many troops and horses does the chief want to draw? ”

Wanyan Agu frowned and said: "I haven't thought about this yet, that Funiu Mountain is said to be steep, and there are many fortifications. At that time, Lin Jue personally told me that he defeated the hundreds of thousands of forbidden soldiers and horses led by Guo Xu, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, with more than 30,000 soldiers and horses. It can be seen that it should not be taken lightly. Therefore, at least 40,000 or 50,000 soldiers and horses must be mobilized. ”

Li Guoqiu took a breath and said softly: "Great Chief, don't you have any doubts about the content of this letter?" ”

Wanyan Agu was stunned for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "What do you mean by this?" ”
