Wang Chong, a newcomer, was scolded by Li Chang like this, trembling, and said with some grievances: "General Li, just because I can't read the map doesn't mean I don't know the way!" No one taught me to read a map! ”

"Second uncle, don't yell at him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info" Shi Min stopped Li Chang, who was about to get angry, and then said to Wang Chong: "If you start from here now, how long will it take to go straight to Li Cheng without stopping?" ”

"About three hours." Wang Chong secretly glanced at Li Chang and replied in a low voice.

"We've been in a row for about eight hours since the morning." Shi Min said to himself, then turned around and looked around, picked up a few branches, broke a thin one, just connected Yecheng and Li Cheng, and then looked at it for a while, gestured a few times with his hand, broke the branches into one long and one short, looked up and said to everyone: "Let's not wipe much in this position now." ”

Wang Shicheng took the torch in Shi Min's hand and said to Xue Zan and Goudan'er: "You pick up the map and I'll take a look." ”

Xue Zan and Goudan'er hurriedly tightened the sheepskin map one by one, Wang Shicheng leaned over and looked at the place where Shi Min's finger was, then looked around carefully, looked at it several times, nodded at Li Chang and said, "Xiao Min is right, we are in this position." ”

"Xiao Min, you go on." Li Chang patted Shi Min.

"You see, from here to the west there will be a possibility of encountering 10,000 Hu people, but there will be more detours, according to my father's estimate, the possibility of these 10,000 people attacking the city is not very likely, after all, the Huns and Qiang people are mainly nomadic and not good at attacking the city, then Li Cheng is said to be ten zhang high, even if there are only a few thousand defenders in the city, it is impossible for these 10,000 people to take Li Cheng, so my thoughts are the same as my father's, these 10,000 Hu people just want to copy the back road of King Qing and raid from behind." Shi Min stopped and looked at the map carefully.

"Go on!" Li Chang said to Shi Min.

"Second brother, can you not be in a hurry?" Wang Shicheng said on the side.

Li Chang glanced at him and didn't talk back. Shi Min continued: "My idea is this, our 10,000 soldiers are divided into two routes, one way, according to the original plan, from the northwest to attack these 10,000 Hu people. On the other hand, from this line straight into the clouds, the Huns would not have thought that someone would appear from here, so they were surprised! What do the two uncles think? ”

Wang Shicheng stared at the map carefully, looked and looked, at this time, Xue Zan suddenly opened his mouth and whispered: "Young General, your idea is good, but I remember that there is a mountain from this direction to the clouds, if you want to pass, you have to go around a hundred miles, so I am afraid that it will take a lot of time." ”

When Shi Min heard this, he hurriedly looked at the map carefully. Wang Shicheng finally raised his head, pointed to the map and said to Shi Min: "Xue Zan is right, Xiao Min, you see, this area is indeed a mountain range. ”

Shi Min looked in the direction of Wang Shicheng's finger, and suddenly his heart was half cold, and there was indeed a mountain blocking the way in front of him.

Everyone was suddenly a little discouraged, and they could only sit on the ground and meditate on other ways. Wang Chong, who was on the side, saw everyone's sad faces, and said weakly: "I know that there is a path that can cross this mountain without a detour." ”

When Shi Min, Wang Shicheng and the others heard this, they immediately came to their senses, Wang Shicheng grabbed Wang Chong and said, "Little brother, are you sure there is really a path?" ”

Wang Chong looked at Wang Shicheng, stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously, and said: "Yes, I remember that there is a small road, I walked twice the year before last, the road is not very wide, just enough for two horses to cross side by side, after this road to the north and then ride a horse for more than two hours, you can see Cloud City." ”

"Excellent! God help me! Shi Min couldn't help but say: "Two uncles, since this is the case, then when you arrive at Licheng, we are almost in the clouds, at that time, King Qing's men and horses may have fought with the Huns, and we can launch a surprise attack from the left flank of the Huns, and we can definitely disrupt their positions." You made a detour from Li Cheng to raid the rear of the 10,000 Hu people, this is called the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches behind! ”

Wang Shicheng looked serious and pondered for a long time, Li Chang on the side was a little impatient, and couldn't help but say: "Third child, you have an idea!" I think that's a good idea. ”

Wang Chong and Xue Zan didn't dare to talk, so they could only wait silently beside them, Wang Shicheng looked at Shi Min and asked, "Your idea is good, but how to divide this soldier into two ways, do you have a plan?" ”

Shi Min thought for a moment and said: "Since it is an attack, what you want is speed and endurance, I suggest that this road of people and horses that go straight into the clouds requires all young and strong people, and the horsepower should be better!" People don't need more, three thousand is enough. ”

"I see what you mean, you seem to want to lead the team down this path?" Wang Shicheng asked.

Shi Min nodded and said: "Since the method is what I came up with, let me go, the frontal enemy of the Huns is King Qing's men and horses, and our three thousand people will attack from the left flank, there will be no danger." ”

"No! I disagree! Wang Shicheng rejected Shi Min's proposal to divide the troops.

"Why?" Shi Min asked puzzled.

"If you want to go, you have to go with your third uncle! It's not your turn! You have to stay with me! Wang Shicheng said solemnly.

Li Chang also understood what Wang Shicheng meant, and persuaded Shi Min: "Xiao Min, you haven't been on the battlefield in the right way, it's better for your third uncle and me to do this matter of bringing people to raid!" ”

Shi Min said unusually firmly: "I'm here to fight!" I'm not here to be a son! I came up with the solution! Naturally, I brought people there! It's only right to distribute it like this! ”

Li Chang and Wang Shicheng were stunned by Shi Min's determined expression, they didn't expect a fledgling boy to have such courage, which really surprised them.

Li Chang looked at Wang Shicheng, although he was Wang Shicheng's elder brother, but in terms of military decision-making, as long as Shi Zhan was not there, he generally listened to Wang Shicheng, so seeing Shi Min so insistent, he couldn't say anything, so he could only wait for Wang Shicheng to make a statement.

Wang Shicheng and Shi Min looked at each other for a while, and from Shi Min's eyes, Wang Shicheng clearly saw the fighting spirit and courage that he had never seen before, and he couldn't help but admire the young man in front of him a little.

"Xue Zan!" Wang Shicheng shouted.

"The last general!" Xue Zan bowed and listened to the military order.

"You quickly go to order three thousand people, you have to have good skills and physical strength, pull these people out alone, and hand them over to the command of the young general, you also follow the young general to the clouds, do you understand!"

"The last general understands!" After Xue Zan finished speaking, he glanced at Shi Min with great admiration, then turned around and walked away.

"Thank you, Third Uncle!" Shi Min grinned at Wang Shicheng.

Wang Shicheng glanced at Shi Min, did not speak, got up and sat aside. Zhang Mufeng, who was standing guard not far away, seemed to hear the conversation between Shi Min and them just now, and ran over to Wang Shicheng and Li Chang and said, "General! I'm going with the Major General too! ”

Wang Shicheng glanced up at Zhang Mufeng and said lightly: "Whatever you want!" ”

When Zhang Mufeng heard this, he glanced at Shi Min proudly, and the two of them tacitly smiled slightly.

"Alright, alright! Hurry up and rest and set off in three hours! Li Chang instructed everyone.

Everyone nodded, and a few stood on the high guard, and the rest lay down on the spot to rest.

On the tower of Cloud City, Lu Hailong climbed the tower from under the city, rubbed his eyes and looked at the bonfire in the distance, and then asked a soldier guarding the city beside him: "Are the Huns still not moving?" ”

The man replied, "Report to the General, there has been no movement since dark. ”

"General, it's really strange, you said that this Huns came all the way over, can they really bear to waste this night?" One of Lu Hailong's guards said on the side.

"Shut your crow's mouth!" Lu Hailong scolded: "You wish the Huns were coming, didn't you?" ”

"No, no! Humble office doesn't mean that! The man quickly explained.

"The people on duty at night are all cheered up, lest we can't react if we are attacked by the Huns!" Lu Hailong told his subordinates again.

"Yes!" The soldiers on the tower shouted in unison.

"It's best if the Huns don't come tonight, just let the brothers have a good rest tonight, and prepare to fight them to the death tomorrow!" Lu Hailong gritted his teeth and said fiercely.
