On the third pole of the day, except for the sentry on duty, everyone else was still asleep, and the excitement was extremely tired. Ouyang Xuan, who has rich outdoor experience, understands the mystery very well, and did not let Lang Xuan and the school captain wake up the soldiers, they need to rest, and order the army to slaughter people (cooks, appointed by Dazai Order to be responsible for the army's diet, during the war before the Three Kingdoms, princes led the troops, cooks are not allowed to be set up privately) and butchers (butchers, slaughtered people together), slaughtered and cooked Biao and sheep, and asked the medical officer to go to the pharmacy to buy some Chinese herbs such as He Shou Wu, Tiger Ginger, and Panax notoginseng, and put them in the soup to cook together.

At noon, the left cavalry lieutenant returned with a full load of three thousand carts of food. "Report to the general, subordinates did not disgrace their mission, and the wharf on the north shore of Huaiyang Lake, intercepted Wu Chu's army grain 10,000 stones, killed 1,000 Wu Chu soldiers, and captured hundreds of soldiers, and learned that Wu Chu's army grain was stationed in Surabaya on the northwest bank of Huai, and 10,000 stones were transported in seven days." "Okay, okay, let's go down, and after the meal, I will repay the merit at Gongcao." "General Chuanlang, the master of the army and the order of Ruyin County", the guards around him came out as promised. After a while, the three of them signed up to enter, and as soon as the military rations entered the city, the Ruyin County Commander had already brought the soldiers to obey the order. "County Zun, the military rations obtained this time are planned to be temporarily stored in the warehouse by Ruyin County, the main book, is it so appropriate?" , "Everything is decided by the generals". "Well, please write the chief book and the prime minister, show where the food goes, show how to deal with it, and report to Your Majesty urgently with this Hou Song Shu 800 li. General Lang ordered the soldiers to keep the required military rations after the meal was finished, and the rest to be sent to the county barn." "Subordinates receive orders". The three men were ordered to roll out the tents.

Ouyang Xuan didn't rest, inspected the camp, took out a large piece of white paper, and drew a map of Wu Chuguo in detail against the map in the tablet. Repeatedly studied and judged the follow-up marching route and combat plan on the map, found paper and wrote a copy of the combat plan as quickly as possible, and encrypted it in a bamboo tube. He also wrote a note on the looted military rations and the disposal of prisoners of war, and handed it over to the master of the army. Hongling urgent envoy is not their own can be sent, belongs to the prime minister's palace soldier Cao command, can only be transferred by the army master, unauthorized transfer of Hongling urgent envoy or pretending to be Hongling urgent envoy is regarded as rebellion, the most stringent implementation of this system is the Western Han Dynasty, Tang Dynasty and Song Dynasty, there are full-time waist cards, waist cards can be changed in the post station to rest, in order to clear customs clearance at any time, the court only accepts messengers with waist cards, no waist cards according to the fake military news, regardless of whether you have a fold or a general letter. After the messenger galloped out, he ordered to cook tomorrow and set off at midnight.

Under the care of the white wolf, the injured soldiers basically recovered from minor injuries, and the seriously injured ones were no longer in serious trouble. At night, Ouyang Xuan re-cut the yellow crystal explosives and assembled the upper hair rope. A big piece of a catty, a small piece of a penny, Ouyang Xuan always had a feeling that he was going to run into big trouble.

Three days later, the conservatory hall of Changle Palace.

There are several military intelligence reports on Liu Qi's case, Liu Qi is very happy today, the smile on his face can melt everyone present, Tao Qing, Zhang Ou, Xiao Sheng, Wei Juan and Yuan An, who has just rushed back, are also infected by this festive atmosphere, and there is also a smile on their faces. "The prime minister quickly drafted an edict, and the number of feudal towns increased to 10,000 households, and the deputy general Lang swore to seal Pingshan Hou, 500 households in the food estate, and all the Yulin soldiers were promoted to the third class. In addition, Ruyin County was ordered to send grain to Luoyang Aocang". "The Minister's Decree", "The Han has such a good general, fortunately!" Luckily! Ten thousand pawns have cut off several times the enemy, and since the founding of the country, only the king of Chu has this hegemony." "Your Majesty, when you hear about it, you will be proud of your merits, and your heart will be different, and you must guard against it", Yuan Ang stood up and arched his hand and said. "Feng Chang said this difference, Hu Hou Donggui and the Han family, although short, in addition to bowing and Qi Huang, only forging and training personal guards, and Nie to get some pottery and Zhu techniques, and the people in the court have no contacts, just a few months, although its wealth is huge, but also only with the people of the fiefdom, and the founding kings are very different. Although there is a demon art, it is also rumored that his teacher is the nephew of the former Qin Xuanweizi (another name for Guiguzi), and some of the magic skills can still be understood. "Lieutenant, you and I have just taken office, this matter still needs to be investigated, when talking about this matter, don't listen to folk rumors" Xiao Sheng also got up and said. Liu Qi waved his hand and stopped talking about the matter. "Ladies and gentlemen, don't say anything about this matter in wartime. Hu Hou played as accurately as possible, and the prime minister did it quickly, and transferred this military information and secret music to the Taiwei, and planned to order the Taiwei to strictly prevent the Wu Chu army from advancing eastward in order to relieve the siege of Liang State. If there is no other way to talk about it, stand down." "Your Majesty, can you allow the order of the county magistrates of the places that you have asked to appoint to recover?" The Prime Minister shall take care of this matter and appoint a competent person to help him." "Decree of the Minister".

Surabaya injection place.

Ouyang Xuan had been here for a day, and the guards in the barn were only 10,000 soldiers of the Wu army. But Ouyang Xuan felt that this place would not be so simple, along the way Ouyang Xuan attacked the city, even down several counties, killed more than 80,000 Wu Chu army, circled around Hongze Lake, only to find this granary on the shore of Hongze Lake in the southeast of Xuanyou County (now Siyang County), occupying a hundred miles of place, every day there are grain ships transported from Hongze Lake to this storage, find familiar with the local people to ask, here has been built granary for more than ten years, called Huaicang by the locals. Today, I only took the guards and the oath with me, and climbed to a mound only a mile away from the barn camp to take a closer look. Surrounded by water on three sides, it is a peninsula of Hongze Lake. If it weren't for Ouyang Xuan's perennial observation skills, he would have observed shallow ruts on the ground during the march, and found that it was quite difficult here. The walled wall is made of rammed earth, very high, there is a deep ditch 100 steps wide in front, and the suspension bridge is high. In the plains, it is a military fortress that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Ouyang Xuan put away the binoculars, there was really nothing else to see, except for the six mounds outside the camp gate, the others were all flat rivers, or the lake. Seeing the mound, Ouyang Xuan felt that something was wrong, although the grass and trees where he was located were lush, there seemed to be something wrong, although there were grass and trees on it, there were obvious traces of water loss and withering. took out a short knife and dug down a few times, it was all dry soil, and quickly ordered Lang Oath and the guards to retreat quickly.

I found the captain who surrendered, and inquired in detail about the location of the granary, and made sure that what I just saw was the Huaicang, and the geomorphological features depicted were all consistent. There are several mounds outside the camp gate, and I heard that they are the ancient tombs of the original Surabaya country.

Once again, a number of probes were sent to explore the vicinity of Hongze Lake again. In the evening, all the reports of the horses were summarized, and only there was a military village, a granary, and a team of men and horses. Ouyang Xuan ordered Lang to send two teams of cavalry to rob grain a hundred miles away overnight, and drew a map according to what he had observed, the six mounds were distributed in an inverted C-shape, the mouth was inward, the mounds were a thousand steps apart at the farthest, and hundreds of steps at the shortest point, and a preliminary battle plan was also formed in his mind.

As soon as the sun rose, the cavalry that had plundered the grain returned with a full load. Four thousand carts, full of grain, killed thousands of Wu troops transporting grain. Nearly four thousand people were captured. This is also a troublesome matter, how to deal with these 4,000 people. Ordered the prisoners of war to be fed, and then tied back to back, leaving a thousand people to guard them full-time.

Gather all the generals and colonels to arrange combat tasks in the tent, down to every step and every battalion. This time, explosives had to be used anyway, and a hundred men were arranged to be in charge of the three-bow bed crossbows, and each archer had several blocks of explosives. This kind of yellow crystal explosive is not dangerous 400 steps away, and it is the most damaging to the surrounding 100 steps, and it belongs to what we often call a detonator. Unlike white lumpy explosives, the power is up to a thousand paces away, it is a pure explosive in later generations, a bit similar to nitrocellulose (here is a popular science, which is stronger than the mixture of water and cement, the mixture of water and cotton or twine?). Telling you that the answer is the latter, the principle of explosives mentioned in the article is similar to this. ）

Ouyang Xuan himself is a special soldier, and he has a soft spot for this reconnaissance, and in the evening, the horse is returned, and the granary has increased by 10,000 troops, and there seem to be signs of large-scale grain transportation, and tens of thousands of vehicles have entered the camp. Ouyang Xuan had already prepared for this result, the more he came, the better, he was catching turtles in the urn, he didn't care about the quantity, as long as the purpose. Several pieces of white block explosives were cut, the hair rope was improved, and the assembly was handed to the lieutenant in charge of the three-bow bed crossbow, and the method of use was explained, and everything was ready. Dinner is another mutton soup containing Shou Wu, tiger, and Panax notoginseng, and black flour steamed buns. The guards of the captives told the captives to eat in a team for every 1,000 people, and then tied them up after eating, and then changed them to another group. Of course, they can only eat dried vegetables and black flour steamed buns.

There was no word all night, and at dawn the next day, the whole army set out, the camp was 200 miles away from Huaicang, the carriages and horses marched rapidly, and arrived at 30 miles from Huaicang at noon, and the battalions acted separately according to the tasks assigned in advance.
