This kind of wandering attack tactics is the most skillful use of the thieves and rebel leaders Peng Yue at the end of Qin, even if he is the overlord Xiang Yu, who is fighting the mountains and covering the world, he can only sigh in vain in the face of his attack. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info so Yan Xing is most worried that the rebels will not come to attack Oxtail at night, but hide in the mountains and forests to play guerrilla with the mountain people, in order to ensure that once the enemy attacks at night, he can introduce total annihilation, and at the moment in the settlement, the mountain people must be fully prepared.
Time was urgent, Yan Xing immediately took action, and roughly explained his ambush plan to Hutou and Da Niu, this is because in order to reduce the number of people participating in the ambush, it is necessary to send more people to the ambush site layout. After all, Yan Xing didn't want to send too many untrained mountain people to the battlefield in night battles, chaotic battles, and ambush battles, firstly, letting the mountain people fight with the rebels would only increase casualties in vain, and secondly, Yan Xing was not easy to command if there were too many people, and Yan Xing did not dare to be as conceited as Han Xin and said that "the more generals, the better", in case some of the mountain people were unable to advance or even retreat from the battle, it would cause all the mountain people present to collapse one after another.
The only people Yan Xing really planned to ambush came in handy were young people like Tiger Head and Da Niu who were selected among the mountain people in the settlement, as for the others, Yan Xing would just let them retreat far away and avoid them, so as not to appear in front of him and cause a riot.
After listening to Yan Xing's plan, Tiger Head and Da Niu nodded in agreement. They had been impressed by Yan Xing's miraculous skills and incisive arguments before, and now when they heard Yan Xing's ambush plan, it was easy to admire Yan Xing's plan even more, and the two of them immediately took their own orders to act separately, while going to report to the old man who was talking in the gathering, and at the same time running to gather people to implement Yan Xing's plan to close the door and beat the dog.
Seeing the two of them running around busily, and began to dig pits and tidy up the ground with the mountaineers who came first with farm tools, Yan Xing, who was in charge of making suggestions, suddenly became idle. First, he himself was just a passerby, and the mountain people were just cooperating, and he didn't have enough prestige to direct everyone to work, and secondly, he didn't have farm tools to help, and the tiger head and the big bull were not willing to let him do it, so after he went around in the busy crowd, he found that he really couldn't help much, so it was better to take this opportunity to learn about the situation of the oxtail gathering, so Yan Xing thought about it, and after saying hello to the sweaty big cow, he walked towards the back of the settlement alone.
After a few steps, a familiar crisp voice sounded behind him.
"Stop, where do you want to go?"
Yan Xing looked back, and the girl called Xiaolu came a few feet behind him at some point and stopped him with a voice.
Yan Xing smiled, he found more and more that this girl had many secrets hidden in her, a girl who seemed to be of mixed Chinese and Qiang blood, a girl who knew swordsmanship, a girl who had a superior position in front of many mountain people, and a girl who wore coarse cloth clothes but had an extraordinary temperament.
Moreover, Yan Xing found that the girl's accent was not the same as that of the mountain people, the girl's accent was biased towards the corrected Ruoyang Yayin, and the mountain people, including the tiger head, the big cow, and the old man who talked about things, all had the accent of Sanfu and the area, which showed that the girl was not a native of the mountain. and the "Yan Shi" behind her, although she has not shown her face, she undoubtedly has a high prestige in front of these mountain people, and she faintly gives people a feeling of being a hermit master.
"I just want to take a look around, there is no malice, I have already told the people in the gathering."
Yan Xing looked at the girl's cold expression and smiled, he did do some rude things to this girl before, and the other party did a great favor to him, in contrast, it was obvious that he owed the other party, although it was said that survival in troubled times was unscrupulous, but for some reason Yan Xing, who had always been calm, actually had a trace of heartbeat in front of the girl, just like the feeling of being caught doing something bad.
"I know, so I'm here to take you, you follow me, don't ask much, don't talk much, you help us fight off the rebels, and the people in our gathering will not treat you badly,"
"Oh!"
Yan Xing promised, and suddenly became an obedient child, he honestly followed behind the girl, sniffed the girl's hair, looked around as he walked, and after a while, he asked out loud:
"Who lives in this place where peach blossoms are grown?"
"Humph!"
・・・
The mountain people gathered in Oxtail were busy for an afternoon, and they barely finished the work arranged by Yan Xing, and Yan Xing, who had walked around, was like an open chatterbox, constantly throwing out all kinds of strange questions to ask the girl, the girl hummed a few perfunctory words at first, and was accidentally led away by Yan Xing in the back, and the girl who came to talk about it told Yan Xing a lot of things in the settlement.
At the end of the conversation, the girl saw Yan Xing's smug look, her phoenix eyes widened, her face suddenly turned cold again, and she never said a word to Yan Xing again, and Yan Xing had to return to the original open space after touching several soft nails, quietly waiting for the arrival of the night.
The last rays of afterglow on the horizon finally disappeared, and the silence of the night completely enveloped the sky above the Ushio Gathering. The torches lit in the open space in the center of the settlement flickered in the evening breeze, illuminating the face of Yan Xing, who was sitting cross-legged in the clearing, and the girl was standing not far from Yan Xing, looking at the angular face, and fell into a deep voice for a while, her small mouth pouted slightly, not knowing what she was thinking.
Yan Xing felt that a gaze was cast on him, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, but for the sake of his rumbling stomach, he finally chose not to talk to the girl out of sound, but stuffed food into his mouth.
The girl smiled and stroked the hair on the side of her face, thinking about how to lift the piece of wood first, so that he could know that she had made it for him to feed him to-night.
The girl was afraid that if she would choke him by talking, she kept walking around without making a sound. And Yan Xing was also abnormal, he just didn't say anything, and finished the last bite of the pancake in a muffled voice, he wiped his mouth, and suddenly burst out of a sentence.
"You did tonight's feeding?"
"Huh!" The girl was still thinking about how to mention the muffled guy in front of her, but she didn't expect to be surprised by him all of a sudden. The girl covered her mouth to hide her surprised expression, although she couldn't help but keep silent, her watery eyes stared at Yan Xing, wondering how he had suddenly become so wise again.
