In the study, Li Zhen called Peng Yulin into the study.

The expression on Li Zhen's face was not relaxed, and he said very cautiously: "Old Peng, Muravyov is deflated, and he has seen our true strength. I don't think Muravyov will attack in the future, he will look for another way to attack. Muravyov is cunning and steady, and I even think he will stand still and search for the rest of the way. ”

Peng Yulin said: "The prince is right, and in the future, Muravyov will definitely have an adjustment period. ”

Li Zhen said: "Do you remember the road you found when you hunted bears? ”

"Remember, there are still soldiers stationed there." Peng Yulin replied.

Li Zhen said: "I think the place we found in the mountain forest on the left side of Sankou Pavilion is a breakthrough point. You can use this place to make Muravyov and his soldiers jump in on their own. From now on, you start to do this, start planning and bring in Muravyov's army. ”

Peng Yulin said: "Don't worry, I will prepare immediately." ”

Li Zhen nodded, and Peng Yulin turned to leave.

……

The barracks of the Russian army, the big tent of the Chinese army.

Muravyov sat at the head of the conference table, silent, his brow furrowed, and the wrinkles were huddled together as if they were old bark. His left and right hands were placed on the conference table, and the palm of his left hand was covered by the back of his right hand, his lips were pursed, and his gloomy expression revealed a ruthlessness and helplessness.

This battle allowed Muravyov to once again understand Li Zhen's strength.

The opponent's weapons are still sharp.

The generals in the army sat with their heads held high, sitting upright.

At this juncture, no one dares to be distracted.

Fifteen minutes later, Muravyov said: "Just now, I was observing a moment of silence for Pvov. ”

In a word, the generals in the camp vomited blood.

With such a depressing atmosphere, they can't stand it anymore, so they should say it in advance!

Muravyov raised his head, swept his gaze over everyone present, and said in a deep voice: "Judging from today's engagement, we are fighting head-on with Li Zhen and do not have an advantage. Neither the weapons they use nor their geographical location have an advantage. The Art of War says that warfare pays attention to the right time, place, and people, and now it is winter, and we are raising troops to fight, which is not good for us. Moreover, we are attacking a fortress, which is a strong attack, and we do not occupy a geographical advantage. ”

After a pause, Muravyov said: "We only have people, and although the situation is unfavorable, I believe that only if we work together and fight together, we will definitely win." We are facing many difficulties, but I believe that as long as we do it with our hearts, we will be able to solve the current problems. ”

Everyone nodded, waiting for Muravyov to continue speaking.

Muravyov commanded: "There are two things that need to be dealt with at present, the first is to find a way around the Sankou Pavilion, which must be hidden and not discovered. Because once discovered, it will be our breakthrough point to defeat Li Zhen. The second is to urge Yishan's army to catch up with us and join us, and the soldiers of Yishan will send them to death to confuse Li Zhen. ”

After saying that, Muravyov instructed the people who were in charge.

The group carried out the order, and Muravyov went to Viktor's tent.

……

The army of Yishan, his army hung behind, and the distance from Muravyov was twenty or thirty miles at the beginning, slowly widening the distance, and the difference was nearly eighty miles in the end. When the army was marching, Yishan got the news that Victor was injured, he looked at Zhang Zhidong who was following him, and sighed: "Mr. Zhang, Victor has a big life and was not killed. If Viktor was killed, Muravyov would have gone berserk and attacked the Sankou Pavilion like crazy. When the time comes, the two sides will fight, and I will reap the benefits of the fisherman. It's a pity, it's a pity!! ”

Zhang Zhidong smiled slightly and said, "General, according to the news from the front, although Victor is not dead, he is also seriously injured. Even if the body recovers, it has to fall to the root of the disease. For this reason, Muravyov and Li Zhen have formed an endless situation, and we can just sit back and watch them fight. ”

Yishan said: "I hope Muravyov will attack as soon as possible!" ”

At this time, a soldier ran to Yishan and said, "General, there is an order from the Russian Governor, please speed up your journey and arrive at Sankou Pavilion as soon as possible to meet the Russian Governor." ”

Yishan waved his hand and said, "Got it!" ”

The soldier pushed away, and Yishan said disdainfully: "Muravyov thinks so well, don't care about him." ”

Zhang Zhidong shook his head and said, "General, you can't do this now. You think, Muravyov's son has just been injured, and Muravyov is angry. If we still fight against him, once Muravyov can't think of it and does it to us, isn't it boring for us? Now that Muravyov and Li Zhen have formed a dead knot, let's catch up first and don't give Muravyov a chance to make a move. ”

Yishan nodded and said, "Okay, speed up." ”

The order was given, and the army accelerated its advance. Rao was like this, and it took two days for the army under Yishan's command to arrive at Sankou Pavilion and join Muravyov's army.

When Muravyov saw Yishan, he immediately called a meeting.

Muravyov's eyes fell on Yishan, and he said in a deep voice: "General Yishan, next, the army under your command will storm the Sankou Pavilion, and then the soldiers under my command will assist in the artillery fire, and we will attack the Sankou Pavilion together. For two days, Muravyov still did not find a trail in the forest on the left, and only after seeing Yishan did he immediately make a request.

Zhang Zhidong asked, "Your Excellency the Governor, you have already launched an attack after you arrived a few days ago, right?" ”

"Yes!" Muravyov said.

Zhang Zhidong smiled coldly and said: "The Russian army arrived first, and it has not taken the Sankou Pavilion for several days, why do you want our army to attack again?" In terms of the strength of the soldiers of the army, the soldiers of our army are inferior to the soldiers of the Russian army; In terms of the weapons used by the soldiers, the soldiers of our army are inferior to the soldiers of the Russian army. In the case that both are inferior to the Russian army, the Russian army cannot find a way to break through the Sankou Pavilion, how can we still capture it? To attack, it is only to increase casualties. We don't make stupid mistakes. ”

Yishan didn't answer, but Zhang Zhidong replied strongly.

Muravyov said coldly: "In that case, what is the use of you? ”

Zhang Zhidong said: "First of all, we provide you with food to ensure that your soldiers have enough to eat, isn't it useful? Moreover, attacking Sankou Pavilion does not have to attack head-on, but can be started from another aspect. ”

Muravyov asked: "What way?" ”

Zhang Zhidong said: "Sankou Pavilion is located between two mountains and forests, although it is an impregnable checkpoint, but it is not without roads. I want to ask, has Mr. Governor read the book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"? ”

Muravyov was confused and couldn't understand what Zhang Zhidong was going to say.
