Zhang Xian turned his head, followed the direction pointed by Zhang Fan, and saw more than ten fishing boats on the opposite river, densely carrying people, faintly heading towards the edge of the steep cliff, Zhang Xian was taken aback, and immediately asked everyone to disperse and do a good job of concealment, because this group of Persian craftsmen actually came a day earlier, Niu Dameng frowned, and said to Zhang Xian:

"My lord, although the people on the ship are wearing Hanfu, but the body shape and demeanor of the exotic people cannot be concealed, the subordinates can be sure, this group of people is definitely what the Persian craftsmen the adults said, they will come more than a day in advance, if the subordinates' guess is good, the Tartars must have come a day earlier to respond, could it be that the Tartars have already guessed that we will come?"

Zhang Xian also began to mumble in his heart, could it be that Meng Yuan's barbaric princess could already be a god-like unpredictable prophet, would guess that she could crack the secret in the jade card?

But Zhang Xian himself shook his head and said:

"Da Meng, this possibility is almost minimal, because if the barbarian princess really guessed that the official could crack the secret in the jade card, then she should be able to think that the official would come to rob this group of craftsmen, so, theoretically speaking, it is absolutely impossible for the unruly princess to predict something, take a step back, even if the princess Mengyuan is very cautious, after dropping the jade card, then she should try her best to make the Persian craftsmen change the location of the infiltration or temporarily cancel the infiltration, otherwise there will be great risks in either case."

Niu Dameng lowered his head and thought about it and said:

"What the Lord said is very true, it seems that this group of Persians should have encountered something to come here a day early, but we must also wipe out this group of Persians, otherwise it is really like what the Lord said, what kind of return cannon do they have, and our Great Song Ke will be in danger!"

Zhang Xian smiled and said:

"Don't worry, since they have all become fat in our mouths, how can we let them slip away easily? Niu Dameng, do you see this terrain clearly, if we want to eat this group of Persian craftsmen, how do you think we should arrange the troops to take them down at the lowest cost? ”

Niu Da scratched his head violently and said:

"My lord, this is a test for me, with my knowledge, this hell is fan-shaped, in the three directions of the fan to arrange manpower, but in the front to arrange the absolute main force, and as soon as the Persians land, they will rush and beat, stunned, and then quickly close to the left and right, on the one hand, to create a feeling of strength for the Persians, on the other hand, even to prevent these birds Persians from escaping."

Zhang Xian nodded, shook his head again, and said to Niu Dameng:

"Da Meng, under normal circumstances, dealing with mountain bandits and water bandits or something, there should be no big problem with your arrangement, but our current enemy is a fierce and cunning Tartar, but there is a big loophole in your arrangement, you will definitely command more men and horses in the future, at that time your pressure will be greater, on the battlefield, at any time you must worry about victory and defeat, you see, Da Meng, first of all, this fan-shaped terrain, you only think that these Persians they all went ashore, if they did not go ashore first, but first sent a group of people ashore as spies, if they find out about our ambush, they will turn around and run, we don't have a ship now, what should you do? Besides, Dameng, look at this steep cliff, although the Persians will not be able to go up for a while, and the Tartars will not be able to send cavalry to meet them, but if the Tartars see that we are capturing these Persians, they will definitely tie the ropes and go down, even if there are not many people, even if there are only one or two hundred Tartar infantry rushing down from the cliff behind us, what should you do? ”

After listening to what Zhang Xian said, Niu Dameng broke out in a cold sweat in his heart, it seems that the gap between himself and adults is really heaven and earth, no matter how you look at it, it is unimaginable, this young adult like a hairy young man, always thinks about problems one step ahead, and can see all kinds of hidden dangers in the arrangement, Niu Dameng said in a deep voice:

"My subordinates are ashamed to disappoint my lord!"

Zhang Xian's expression was indifferent, and he didn't mean to blame Niu Dameng at all, and said:

"Da Meng, the real commander, is only successful from small failures, summing up lessons and lessons, you see, it is not too difficult to deal with them, where the Tartars descended the cliff, didn't we have two pockets of thistles to deal with the mountain bandits before? Niu Dameng, arrange a few people to quietly go to sprinkle me on the road where the Tartars must go down the cliff, and the official doesn't believe that the feet and hearts of these Tartars are made of iron? It is easy to prevent the Persians from withdrawing from their ships and escaping, and you see, isn't this stretch of the Yangtze River so rocky that it is difficult to sail? Niu Dameng, you only need to arrange a few people, take a few logs and set them up in the narrow rapids where the fishing boat must retreat, and help them with a few big stones, then they will have no escape, they can only become turtles in the urn! Go ahead and arrange it! ”

Niu Dameng listened to Zhang Xian's words, it was convincing, and immediately ran to arrange, don't say Niu Dameng, even Luo Santian and Zhang Fan admired Zhang Xian from the heart, this wisdom and age are so incommensurate, especially Zhang Fan, what kind of person was his son-in-law before, he knows very well that the current son-in-law is simply a god-like existence, Zhang Xian actually slowly discovered that the current son-in-law should not be the former son-in-law, the former son-in-law is more rigid and inflexible, to be honest, The current Gongzi Ye is for himself, it is simply a reinvention of kindness, people are so strange, Zhang Fan found that he could no longer be loyal to the previous Gongzi, even if the one in front of him was fake, because Zhang Fan's own unruly heart had been released from the cage by Zhang Xian, and the world between heaven and earth was so vast......

More than a dozen small fishing boats sat by Persian craftsmen had gradually approached the riverside but stopped, and sent a small boat to dock first.

"My lord is really a god, and he is no worse than Zhuge Liang as my mother said, so the Persians really sent spies ashore first."

Zhang Xian, who was hiding behind the boulder, looked intently at the situation between the Persian spies by the river and the cliff, and Niu Dameng said beside him:

"My lord, you see that the Persians are less than fifty zhang according to us, and they will soon be discovered, should they start attacking immediately, even if the Persians on the ship have not yet disembarked, but the subordinates have already sent their brothers to set up wood on the big rocks at the rapids according to the requirements of the adults, to ensure that they will not be able to escape back!"

Zhang Xian shook his head and said:

"Da Meng, you have to calm down, we are hunters now, we must have the calmness of hunters, it is not too late for them to find out that we are attacking!"

Zhang Xian looked from a distance, dozens of family members had been deployed in advance, and they had already laid an ambush, and the Persian spies were getting closer and closer to Zhang Xian's side, and they could even hear this group of Persians talking incomprehensible bird language, just when Zhang Xian was about to wave his hand and prepare for the whole attack, a colorful flag suddenly appeared on the steep cliff by the river, Zhang Xian looked at it, is this not exactly what the flag of the Tartars is? Especially the white flag with gold trim in that flag made Zhang Xian involuntarily think of the barbaric princess Meng Yuan, it seems that Meng Yuan has attached great importance to this group of Persians.

The group of Persians who explored the way also cheered and jumped up when they saw the Tartar flags fluttering on the side of the cliff, turned around and ran back to the river, and the Persian craftsmen in the fishing boats on the river also went ashore one after another and walked towards the edge of the cliff, and when all the Persians went ashore, the fishing boats began to retreat into the river and leave, Zhang Xian saw that the best time to attack had arrived, and decisively ordered Niu to attack fiercely.

With the bull shouted violently, the front forty family members jumped up, shouting to kill the family Ding, because Zhang Xian had an order, can not kill these Persian craftsmen, these family members all the head of the gun backwards, just with the spear handle rushed to the Persian crowd, this group of Persians themselves is just a group of technical craftsmen, in the face of this surprise attack from the sky, immediately was beaten to the ghost crying wolf howl, hugging the head of the rat, running to both sides, at this time, both sides also rushed out of more than 20 family members, lined up in a row, step by step to drink:

"Kill! Kill!! Kill!!! ”

These Persians have never encountered such a situation, when some Persians saw their companions kneeling on the ground and raising their hands, they were no longer beaten, and they all did the same, all kneeling and raising their hands in surrender, but there were still more than 20 Persians who retreated to the fishing boats, and at this time, egg-sized stones flew from the fishing boats one after another, and Zhang Xianjiading hurriedly retreated.

Zhang Xian clearly saw the Tartar flags on the cliff messed up, bursts of people neighing horses, a moment later, dropped a few ropes from the cliff, and swam down the rope More than two hundred Tartar soldiers, at first roared with a scimitar howling and rushed over, but on the way to the halfway one by one bent down and hugged the feet of the ghost and cried wolf howl, obviously, the thistle successfully blocked the rescue of the Tartar, Zhang Xian was shocked by the stone cannonballs fired by the fishing boat, no longer looked at the howl of the Tartar, accompanied by Luo Santian and Zhang Fan, ran in front of Niu Dameng, Asked:

"Da Meng, what's the situation?"

Niu Dameng looked embarrassed and said:

"You see, my lord, about twenty Persians retreated to the fishing boats that had not yet departed, and at a distance of a hundred feet, even a bow and arrow could not shoot at a distance, but the stone cannons of the Persians of this flock of birds were able to hit us, and several brothers were already concentrated, and all those who were shot were wounded and broken bones, and even suffered internal injuries."

Zhang Xian looked at it and said:

"This time the cannon is really worthy of its name, such a distance, a hundred zhang has such a great power, to say that the power of this cannon should be so powerful? Niu Dameng, let the brothers stop attacking the fishing boat for the time being, and evacuate to a safe distance, can this group of Persians have a leader? Show me? ”

After Niu Dameng arranged it, he took Zhang Xian to an elderly Persian, this Persian was about fifty years old, with two Persian beards, Zhang Xian asked directly:

"You are the head of the Persian craftsmen?"

As soon as the Persian looked at Zhang Xian, it was obvious that the Persians could also see that Zhang Xian was the leader of this group of Central Plains people, so he said:

"Your Excellency, I am the faithful servant of the Persian general Palamti, and we Persians are only passing through your land harmlessly, if you need gold and silver coins, we are willing to spend a lot of money to buy a road, and I hope that Your Excellency will let us go!"

Zhang Xian was laughed at angrily and said:

"Your name is Io, isn't it? Nonsense, this official won't say much to you, since you are the leader of this group of Persian craftsmen, then this official will order you to order the Persians on the fishing boat to come and surrender immediately, otherwise, what awaits you will be all killed, this official is an official of the Great Song Kingdom, your whereabouts have been mastered by us, more Great Song soldiers are coming, you don't expect the Tartars on the cliff to meet you, I don't believe you can take a look! ”

Yi Ao looked at Zhang Xian's finger, more than two hundred Tartar soldiers were rolling in pain a mile away, and the gray Yi Ao took over, and shouted a few words of Persian to the fishing boat, and all the Persians on the fishing boat came to the shore.
