"Which two?"

"This first way, is the rebels of the right guard post, just now Uncle Chen said that there are more than 1,000 people in the right guard post, plus Ling Kun's remnants, at least close to about 2,000 people, Ling Kun suffered a defeat in the Cangtou River, afraid of Gao Xiuyan's punishment, so he must be in a hurry to fight back, so that he can make a contribution, so this day than Lao'er will definitely encourage the guards of the right guard post to block our army; The second way is the Jingbian Army in Youyucheng, if Gao Xiuyan gets the news, he will definitely send his headquarters to stop us. ”

"I think there's still one way to go," Li Siye said, pointing to the map, "Dahei, you see, if the rebels in Zuoyun County in the east also learn the news that our army has crossed the Cangtou River, they will probably send troops to come." ”

Chen Wenzhou was very happy, it seems that the eldest brother Li Siye's tactical analysis ability has been greatly improved, and the progress of comrades is the luck of the organization.

However, it is necessary to seriously criticize the indiscriminate nicknames of revolutionary comrades, so he quipped: "I haven't seen you for a few days, I have learned a lot of skills from me, if you want to continue like this, in the future, you can do it alone, the chief general and military division of our right front army, I should go back to my fire head team and continue to give full play to the fine traditions of our army to squat at the grassroots level." Also, Xiaohua has already said that Comrade Da Hei has already sacrificed his life for the country, and the dead are great, please have some quality, don't call me Da Hei! ”

"I know that I am wrong," Li Siye humbly accepted Chen Wenzhou's criticism and said solemnly.

Seeing that the criticism was fruitless, Chen Wenzhou simply returned to the topic, "The situation is not optimistic." We crossed the Cangtou River and entered Youyu County, like a drop of water falling into a hot oil pot. Gao Xiuyan naturally understands that our purpose is to march from behind to kill the tiger's mouth and cooperate with the main army to take this natural danger, so he will definitely do his best to pursue us. ”

"From the general's ditch to now, it has been three days since we sent troops, and they should also send troops for three days, so I estimate that they will be able to reach the mouth of the tiger tonight. At this time, we should cooperate with the main army and contain the forces of Youyucheng," Li Siye pointed to the map and analyzed.

"It's not enough to just contain the troops, we still have to try to fight a few beautiful battles in Youyu County to attract firepower, so that the main army can take the opportunity to take the tiger's mouth," Chen Wenzhou added.

"Then why don't we send troops overnight and kill the tiger's mouth!" Li Siye said with a little excitement.

Chen Wenzhou shook his head, "It's too late, Ling Kun escaped last night, didn't Uncle Chen say it just now, they saw a wave of remnants passing by here late last night, judging by the speed of travel, I'm afraid that Ling Kun has already arrived at the right guard post at this time." Ling Kun knew that the matter was important, so he would definitely send someone to spread the news to Youyucheng and Kill the Tiger's Mouth. ”

Li Siye said luckily: "Then what if Ling Kun hasn't had time to send the news?" ”

Chen Wenzhou picked the wick with a bamboo stick, "First of all, this possibility is less. We are fighting with the old man in Japan, and the eldest brother must also know that this old thing is very cautious, and he will not dare to slack off on such a major news, so he must send the news as soon as possible; Secondly, even if he hasn't had time to send the news out, we can't kill the tiger directly. ”

Li Siye looked puzzled, "Why is this?" ”

"Didn't Uncle Chen say just now, the right guard post is in the north to kill the tiger's mouth, and the south is to the right jade city, and it is the only passage, if we want to enter the tiger's mouth, we must first pass the right guard post."

Li Siye patted his head, "Hey, look at my memory, Wen Zhou, then what should we do next?" ”

Chen Wenzhou stared at the lights without a glance, his eyes were bright and dark, and then he lay on the map again, gesturing and chanting words, and only said after a long time: "Big brother, help me call Nan Jiyun." ”

Li Siye nodded when he heard this, and called Nan Jiyun in.

"Captain Nan, you immediately send a team of elite scouting horses, divided into two groups, one group goes to the nearby villages to inquire if there are any rebels to harvest grain, and at the same time explore the route between Zuoyun and Youyu, how many official posts there are, the action must be secretive, do not startle the snake, and also, you must come back before noon tomorrow. Another group of people went to the official road near Zuoyun County to squat for me, and if there was a fast horse passing by, they would all be caught by me! ”

"Yes!" Nan Jiyun took the order and went.

"Daikoku, what do you mean?" Li Siye asked suspiciously.

Chen Wenzhou said with a smile: "Big brother, what do you think, if Gao Xiuyan learns that the big handsome army marches to kill the tiger's mouth, what will he do?" ”

Li Siye replied: "Naturally, it is necessary to strengthen the defense, drill the soldiers and horses, and hoard food to prepare for the defense of the city. ”

"Huh?" Chen Wenzhou stared at Li Siye and smiled.

Li Siye raised his eyelids, "You mean that the rebels have something to do with this?" ”

Chen Wenzhou nodded affirmatively and said: "When we first entered Guantun Fort, we found that the wheat was harvested before it was ripe, and then in connection with what Uncle Chen said just now, I think that the rebels are collecting grain and grass nine times out of ten, so I asked Nan Jiyun to investigate, if the nearby villages are like this, then it can be sure." ”

"What does this have to do with our march?" Li Siye asked suspiciously.

Chen Wenzhou waved his hand, "Big brother, grain and grass are the foundation of marching and fighting, no matter how elite the troops are without food, they will not have combat power, if we can cut off Gao Xiuyan's grain route, it will be tantamount to drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle." ”

"I see," Li Siye understood Chen Wenzhou's intentions.

In the battle of Cangtou River, Ling Kun seemed to be several years old, and he had a white cloth wrapped around his waist, which was an arrow shot by Nan Jiyun, the captain of the Yue Cavalry.

Ling Kun was afraid of Gao Xiuyan's punishment, so he didn't dare to return to the Right Jade City, so he could only clean up the eight hundred remnants and defect to An Shouyi, the guard of the Right Guard Station.

An Shouyi, Zhou Wanqing, Ling Kun and Xue Zhongyi are the four King Kongs under Gao Xiuyan.

Ling Kun and An Shouyi are fellow villagers, and the two have a very good personal relationship and often wear a pair of pants.

An Shouyi was also shocked when he heard that Ling Kun had suffered a defeat and that the Shuo Fang army had broken through the Cangtou River, and as soon as the two of them combined, they decided to immediately send troops to block Li Siye and Chen Wenzhou, otherwise Youyucheng and Kill Hukou would be in danger.

Early the next morning, An Shouyi and Ling Kun gathered 2,000 soldiers and horses and urgently marched towards Majiayao.

Majiayao, the only place to the south of Guantun Fort, is also the only place where the right jade city and Zuoyun County are connected to the official road. Ling Kun judged that Li Siye and Chen Wenzhou must be in a hurry to go south to attack the right guard post, and then take the north route to kill the tiger's mouth.

Therefore, he and An Shouyi decided to strike first, hold Majiayao, and push the battle line to the periphery of Youyucheng, even if they are defeated, they have enough strategic depth to organize the second defense of the inner line, not to mention, Majiayao is the transfer point of the Jingbian Army's grain collection in the villages of Youyu County, and the strategic location is very prominent, and it cannot be lost in any case.

At this time, Gao Xiuyan got the news of Ling Kun, and at the same time he was furious, and at the same time, he was anxious, and sent the deputy army envoy Xue Zhongyi to lead about 2,000 soldiers and horses from Youyucheng and rushed over.
