Li Dan's words made Zhi Tan a little ashamed, Zhi Tan's heart was not confident enough, and he was subconsciously a little afraid of the Qianjun, he didn't expect Li Dan to say this.

"I don't know what General Li thinks?"

Li Shan said: "Our task is to reinforce Chengdu City, so we can't stay here all the time, we must go to Chengdu City, and these cadres and cavalry are here to stop us from going to Chengdu City!" We still don't know the specific situation of Chengdu City, and we don't know how many soldiers and horses the cadres have, we know too little news, if we want to carry out the next move, we must find out more information, before we find out how many troops the cadres have, I think we can't act rashly, now that we occupy here, it is not so easy for the cadres to kill with cavalry! ”

Dao Tan looked at the cavalry of the cadre army in the distance and said: "General Li said this, the general agrees with it, but I am afraid that we will not have the opportunity to send a lookout post again to investigate the details of the cadre army, the cavalry of the cadre army is strong, they have a great advantage, and our sentry is afraid that it has been killed before it is sent out!" ”

Li Shan frowned, "What does General Zhi think?" ”

To sigh frankly: "As General Li said, the reconnaissance cavalry of the cadre army must have blocked the surroundings, it is difficult for us to send reconnaissance cavalry to investigate the situation inside and outside Chengdu City, our only chance is the night, I only hope that the night can bring enough cover to our detective posts, so that they can pass through the blockade line of the reconnaissance cavalry of the cadre army and rush to the vicinity of Chengdu City to investigate!" ”

Li Shan clapped his hands, "Okay, that's it!" Do you send the scouts, or do I send them? ”

"I'm coming!"

Three miles away, Yang Lie sat on horseback and observed the formation of Liu Song's army on the high ground in the distance for a while, and he shouted: "Come on, send some outposts to go out to explore the surrounding terrain, and blockade the surrounding area for ten miles, prohibiting anyone from passing, not even ordinary people!" Now during the war, the people are too late to hide, and they will definitely not dare to move around the battlefield, once such a person is found, it must be Liu Songjun scouts pretending to be killed! ”

"No!"

An adjutant general next to him said to Yang Lie: "General, it seems that Liu Songjun is ready for battle, we can only attack by force now, the other side is on the high ground, there is a condescending trend, and the geographical advantage is occupied, and our army is afraid that the loss will be great if it wants to attack head-on!" ”

Yang Lie shook his head: "It is too unwise to use two thousand cavalry to attack the enemy army that has a geographical advantage and is five times the number of our army, even if most of them are infantry, we have no advantage at all!" Send the order down, send a building of troops to continue to advance, and approach to a position only two miles away from Liu Song's army to provoke and provoke them! ”

The adjutant general immediately understood Yang Lie's intentions, and immediately conveyed the order, and a cavalry of about 300 people rushed out.

The cavalry of the 300 cadres quickly rushed to a position only two miles away from Liu Song's army, but they had no intention of stopping, and did not slowly stop until they reached a position of only about one mile.

These cadres and cavalry were led by the generals to run back and forth under the high ground a few times, and they were not at all worried that Liu Song's army might rush down from the high ground.

The team stopped, and the cadre generals looked at the high ground and shouted reflexively: "Liu Songjun's little rabbit cubs, what kind of ability is nesting on the mountain?" There are 300 rounds of fighting with the masters! ”

"You people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, do you have the face to still wear armor and hold knives and guns? You are the standard model of cowardice and cowardice, and your parents, wives, children, brothers and sisters must not be proud of you, but ashamed of you for playing! ”

"What's the matter? Are your legs weak and scared to pee? Look at the virtue of you shrunken turtles, you have been so productive all your life, the Southern Dynasty is because of you soft-footed shrimp that we are pressed and beaten everywhere, you eat the grain of the Southern Dynasty and the Liu Song Dynasty, take military salaries, but refuse to sell your life, people like you also deserve to wear armor? Why don't you wipe your neck and count the balls yourself! The cadres scolded happily at the foot of the mountain, and the generals of the Liu Song army on the high ground jumped to their feet one by one, and many of them scolded that they wanted to kill and go down the mountain to find the cadres desperately.

Li Shan and Zhi Tan tried their best to control the situation and not let the team lose control, both of them knew that the Qianjun wanted to provoke them to go down the mountain to fight, but Li Shan and Zhi Tan were both good tempers and could control their tempers, and they forcibly suppressed the dissatisfaction of all the soldiers and generals of the restless Liu Song army.

Li Shan shouted to the generals of the Liu Song army: "Listen to the general, this is the conspiracy of the cadre army, the purpose is to lure us down the mountain to fight, don't look at them There are only 2,000 cavalry here, but their follow-up brigade of soldiers and horses is coming, once we are entangled by these two thousand cadre cavalry, I am afraid it will be difficult to get rid of them in a short time, and when their brigade arrives, then it will be our end!" ”

"Ben will tell you now, without Ben General's order, if anyone dares to attack without authorization, Ben will make him regret it!"

Under the forcible suppression of Li Dan and Zhi Tan, Liu Songjun, who was originally excited, gradually calmed down and the situation stabilized.

Yang Lie couldn't help but be surprised: "We are so hard at insulting, Liu Songjun has not moved, it seems that Li Dan and Zhi Tan still have some skills, the radical method does not work, what kind of method do you use?" ”

Yang Lie fell into a dilemma, after provoking for so long, Liu Songjun was indifferent, and there was no point in continuing to provoke and insult, so he could only think of another way, but where was the way so easy to think.

"General, the terrain within a radius of ten miles has been explored and drawn!" A scout came to report on his horseback.

Yang Lie took the map drawn by the scout scout and looked at it, and when he finished reading the map and studied it, a knight rode over on a fast horse and said, "General Yang, Your Majesty has a decree, saying that if General Yang really can't find a good way to attack the enemy army, he will temporarily retreat and gather with the headquarters brigade!" ”

"Understood, you go back and tell Your Majesty, and the minister will lead his troops to withdraw and join His Majesty!"

The messenger beat his horse and left, Yang Lie waited for a while, Liu Songjun was still not provoked and rushed down the mountain to fight, Yang Lie had to return along the same route with two thousand cavalry, but left a large number of scouts around.

Yang Lie took his soldiers and horses to join Zhao Junsheng and reported: "Your Majesty, the minister has sent someone to investigate the terrain around the Liu Song army's troops and the high ground where it is based, Liu Song army has 2,000 cavalry and 9,000 infantry, including 3,000 spearmen, 4,000 sword and shield soldiers, and 2,000 archers·······

Zhao Junsheng looked at the shoddy map drawn, and remembered what Yang Lie said about the situation of Liu Songjun just now, thought for a while and said: "They put on a stubborn posture, it seems that they plan to send people to take advantage of the cover of night to cross the blockade line of our army's reconnaissance cavalry and go to Chengdu City to reconnoiter the detailed strength of our army!" Someone, send an order to all the scout guards outside to be vigilant! ”

After the herald left, Yang Lie asked, "Your Majesty, what are we going to do next?" ”

Zhao Junsheng took the horsewhip and beat it in the palm of his hand, thought about the next move, looked at the map for a while, and said to Yang Lie: "Now that the army of Liu Song has been formed, it is difficult for us to bargain, so we can only confront them temporarily, waiting for them to appear weak and then break through in one fell swoop!" ”

Yang Lie was a little worried, "Your Majesty, the confrontation with Liu Songjun is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and our army's strategy is to completely solve all matters in Sichuan and Shu before the Southern Dynasty sends a large army to reinforce Sichuan and Shu, carry out military occupation, and let the Southern Dynasty reinforcements return in vain!" If we confront this Liu Song army, we will delay the time to completely capture Sichuan and Shu! ”

Zhao Junsheng smiled and waved his hand: "Don't worry, it's not us who is more anxious, but Liu Songjun!" There were a lot of them, and they certainly didn't carry much dry food in their hurry, as long as the time dragged on, the more bad it would be for them! The order is given, and the whole army is advancing to the southwest! ”

In this way, the cadres and troops left under the nose of Liu Songjun, who did not pursue and did not dare to go down the high ground.

For a whole afternoon, Liu Songjun did not leave the high ground for half a step, and the Qianjun disappeared since they were taken away by Zhao Junsheng and Yang Lie, and Liu Songjun's scouts did not dare to go out during the day.

At night, when night fell and covered the land, the scouts of Liu Songjun's scouts walked out of the high ground under the cover of night after eating and drinking, and in order not to be discovered by the cavalry of the cadre army, they all led their horses to the northwest direction, which was the direction where Chengdu City was located.

At the beginning, the scouts of Liu Song's army were a little apprehensive and a little panicked, afraid of encountering the guard posts of the cadres, but after they walked for a while, none of them were discovered and captured by the cadres, and their mood became happy again.

Just as the so-called happiness and sorrow is to describe these people, and before they could be happy, a group of cadres and cavalry suddenly appeared and surrounded all the outposts of the Liu Song army and confiscated their weapons and bows.

After interrogation, Zhao Junsheng learned that there were a total of 12 people from these Liu Song army's outposts, and their task was to rush to Chengdu City to check the situation while it was dark to see how many cadres were still outside the city.

"Your Majesty, the twelve outposts sent by Li Dan and Zhitan have all been captured by our side, and now it seems that they want to collect the situation inside and outside Chengdu City has been determined, and they should not act rashly until they have collected the specific strength of our army!"

Zhao Junsheng thought for a while, and ordered: "I want to see how long they can hold out on that high ground, and send an additional cavalry to assist in the blockade of Liu Song's army by the cavalry guard post, to prevent any fish from escaping the net, I hope that not even a fly can fly out of our blockade line!" ”

For two days in a row, Liu Song's generals Li Dan and Zhitan respectively sent two sets of outposts to investigate and contact Chengdu City, but they all failed, and all the reconnaissance and cavalry outposts sent out were wiped out by the cadres, Li Dan and Zhitan could not sit still, and the longer the time dragged on, the more unfavorable it was for them, because they came to reinforcements in a hurry and did not carry much grain and grass at all, if they still did not act in two days, they would face the crisis of food shortage.
