Chapter 525: Impregnable (II)
"I, can you go out of the city and have a look?" Li Liangzuo asked Li Qing.
Li Wu immediately stopped: "Father Emperor can't, once the Song army discovers the whereabouts of Father Emperor, they may send heavy troops to chase and kill." ”
Then Li Wu said: "Father, the situation is probably like this, why don't you go back to the palace first!" ”
"Back to the palace?" Li Liangzuo questioned; "It's not easy for me to come out once, can I go back to the palace so soon? Tonight, Wu Guan will stay overnight, let the sergeants prepare enough dry food and water, and tomorrow everyone will wear civilian clothes and go out. ”
"Father, where are you going!" Li Wu asked Li Liangzuo.
"Less nonsense, let you do what you want."
"Yes, the retainer is commanded."
Finally came out of the palace once, of course Li Liangzuo had to roughly figure out the deployment of the Song army, and he had heard from others how strong the Song army's defense line was, but this time Li Liangzuo wanted to see for himself, Li Liangzuo didn't believe that the Song army's defense line that stretched for thousands of miles was really so tight, and there were no loopholes at all.
In the early morning of the next day, Li Liangzuo took Li Wu, Li Yue and Qin Hu, as well as more than 100 forbidden army guards, and left Wuguan to the north, where the north of Wuguan was Bear's Ear Mountain (Funiu Mountain); The purpose of Li Liangzuo's trip to Bear's Ears Mountain is self-evident, that is, to see if the Song army has arranged fortifications in Bear's Ears Mountain, but it is difficult to reach the destination, Bear's Ears Mountain is the northwest to southeast direction, about 800 miles long, about 800 miles wide, is an important mountain range at the junction of the Xia and Song Dynasties, as a mountain range on the border, Bears Ears Mountain is basically in the three-regardless zone.
And there are not many people living on Bears Ears Mountain, they are some old hunters, Li Liangzuo originally planned to enter from the south of Bears Ears Mountain, and then detour southeast in the mountains, and finally reach the front line of the Song army, but the plan can never catch up with the changes, Li Liangzuo and others encountered snow not long after entering the mountain, and it may be dangerous to encounter such weather in the mountains, because the mountains are very slippery after snowfall, and they may roll down if they are not careful.
"Father, the snow is getting heavier and heavier, let's find a place to avoid the snow!" Li Wu walked up to Li Liangzuo's side and said.
"Let's see if there are any caves or people around here, and go and hide first." Li Liangzuo said.
Not long after Li Liangzuo led the people forward, a scout came back and reported to Li Liangzuo: "Your Majesty, find a cave ahead. ”
"Lead the way, let's go to the cave to avoid the snow."
This is a naturally formed cave, there is no trace of artificial excavation, although the entrance of the cave is very small, but the inside is very spacious, it is not a matter of hiding a thousand eight hundred people, before entering the cave, Li Liangzuo and others were soaked in clothes; After entering the cave, Li Wu first took someone to inspect it, and then came back and reported to Li Liangzuo: "Father, it seems that someone has lived in this cave, and some dry firewood has been found in it. ”
"Great, Wu'er hurriedly lit a fire, let everyone dry the clothes on their bodies, and then get some food and drink some hot soup, these wet clothes are easy to get sick after wearing them for a long time."
"Yes, the retainers are ...... ordered"
Li Liangzuo is drinking broth! Hearing heavy footsteps outside, Li Liangzuo immediately signaled everyone to be on guard, it was none other than the owner of this cave, an old hunter, who was followed by a half-sized man next to him; This cave is actually the place where the old hunters usually take shelter from the rain and rest, sometimes it takes three or four days, or even five or six days to go home to hunt in the mountains, and they live in this cave during this time.
After seeing the person who came, Li Liangzuo immediately apologized and said, "This eldest brother, I was offended a lot just now, and the younger brother is here to apologize to you." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, this old man laughed." Old Orion said honestly.
Li Liangzuo then asked the old hunter: "My brother has a difficult life in the mountains, why don't you move out!" ”
"The world outside is chaotic, and there is no scene in our mountains." The old Orion looked at Li Liangzuo and the others and said; "This old man, how did you come to this mountain on such a cold day?"
Li Liangzuo smiled and said: "Isn't it idle at home and doing nothing, coming out to hunt!" But who would have thought of such an unlucky weather. ”
"It's useless to take too many people with this hunting, and before you get to the prey, you may be discovered."
"Dude, how long have you been living here?"
"I'm not sure how long we've lived here as a family."
Li Liangzuo looked at the goose feather snow outside the cave and said, "Such a big snow, I don't know when it will stop!" ”
"Don't worry, sir, this snow! The second half of the night should be stopped. Old Orion said, crouching on a rock.
Li Liangzuo looked at the old Orion and said with a smile: "Brother, I have a request to see if you can agree; Once it's done, I have a lot of thanks. ”
"If the master has any orders, just say it."
"My brother has lived in this mountain for so long, he should be very familiar with this mountain! I'd like to ask him to be our guide. Li Liangzuo stretched out his hand to Li Wu as he spoke, Li Wu took out an ingot of gold from his body, and Li Liangzuo handed the gold to the old hunter and said;" As long as my brother promises to make it happen, I have another thanks. ”
"I don't want this gold, just give us two bows and crossbows and some arrows when the time comes." The old hunter said, looking at the crossbow and arrow feathers placed on the ground.
"This is easy to say, I'll give my brother two handfuls when the time comes!" Li Liangzuo said with a smile.
The next morning, the snow had stopped, and under the leadership of the old Orion, Li Liangzuo and the others left the cave, and the old Orion asked Li Liangzuo while leading the way in front: "Master, where do you want to go!" ”
"So be it! Brother, you can take me to find the fortress of the Song army. Li Liangzuo said.
With the help of the old Orion's guide, Li Liangzuo and others crossed the mountains and mountains, and finally found the fortress of the Song army after three days; The old hunter said to Li Liangzuo: "Master, you can see the fortress of the Song army when you climb this mountain. ”
Li Liangzuo led people to climb the mountain, and sure enough, he saw a fortress of the Song army not far from the opposite mountain, and the number of people in the fortress of the Song army was not estimated to be one hundred or ten, but Li Liangzuo saw a very strange phenomenon, in the rear of the Song army fortress, there was a convoy advancing towards the fortress.
"That's not right!" Li Liangzuo said: "Wu'er, have you noticed that the Song army's convoy is strange. ”
"Father, in fact, the retainers have already discovered that according to our spies, the convoy of the Song army can pull very heavy things with only a few livestock, and it is not a car; Song Jun seems to have laid two wooden strips, and all the wheels are stuck on the wooden strips......"
Hearing Li Wu's description, Li Liangzuo lost his voice and said, "Damn, isn't this a fucking train?" ”
"Father, what is this train, why have you never heard of it?"
"You don't need to know what this train is, and you don't need to know, we'll take a detour to the road of the Song army in a while, and we'll be able to see it when the time comes." Li Liangzuo said with a heavy face.
Today's last shift, it's time to go to bed, so let's continue to support it!
