"Wow! For! For! Hurried footsteps could be heard in the wooden hallway outside.

"What happened? Did the Han barbarians send troops? Gou Jian, who was lying on the dry wood, stood up, and his eyes shot a thick hatred.

The door opened, and Dazai Kusei rushed into the room, and reported to Gou Jian respectfully: "The Lord is wise, it is indeed the Han barbarians who have sent troops, and according to the detailed report, they are now crossing the river!" ”

"How many soldiers and horses did Yang Zilu send?" Gou Jian heard this, but quickly calmed down, and the hatred in his eyes turned into calm. It's not that the hatred is gone, it's suppressed, and when he explodes, it's going to be even more terrifying.

"Eight thousand one hundred! This is the result of careful investigation! The error will not exceed 100 people! Moreover, this time Yang Zilu mobilized a lot of troop carriers, and it only took three rounds at most to transport all the Han troops to the north shore, and if there was no obstruction, it would only take about an hour! Ku Cheng said with a bit of bitterness in his voice.

When Gou Jian heard this, he was stunned, and said in a lost voice: "Yang Zilu actually didn't launch a national army to attack Wu? ”

"Yes! In other words, even if our sneak attack is successful, Yang Zilu still has enough troops to hold the Han Kingdom! Ku Cheng's tone and face became more and more bitter, and his face almost became embarrassed.

"Then the only way to change your strategy is to change your strategy!" Gou Jian gritted his teeth and said, with deep unwillingness in his tone.

Originally, according to his strategy, he left the miscellaneous army to garrison, and he himself took 3,000 elite gentlemen to hide on Tianmu Mountain, which was only more than forty or fifty miles away from Li. Tianmu Mountain is about 580 miles long, and with such a wide terrain, there are 3,000 people hiding in other places, even if it is 10,000 people, it can be more.

And when Yang Zilu waved his army north to Gusu City, he Gou Jian would lead the soldiers to destroy Yang Zilu's grain route, seize the ships on the north bank of Zhejiang, and wave his army to the south, cutting off Yang Zilu's retreat, and recovering the Yue Kingdom. For this reason, Gou Jian also devised a fake death, that is, when the Han army invaded the city of Li, his stand-in would be in the Yuehou Palace in Licheng in full view of everyone [***]. to eliminate Yang Zilu's jealousy of him, so that he could catch Yang Zilu off guard, but all this has changed.

"Lord, what should I do now?" Ku Cheng asked a little overwhelmed.

Gou Jian couldn't help but miss the time when Wen Chong and Fan Li were under him, at that time he would be asked by others, only he asked others, and let others solve everything for him.

"Lord! Lord! What should we do now? After waiting for a long time, seeing that Gou Jian still didn't speak, he had to interrupt Gou Jian's nostalgia.

"Keep going as planned! Go to Tianmu Mountain! Gou Jian gritted his teeth.

"This ...... Did it work? Ku Cheng said hesitantly.

"Yes! But it's not a secret to go to Tianmu Mountain! It's a big fanfare, to let Yang Zilu know that the widow is going to Tianmu Mountain! Let's see what Yang Zilu will do! Gou Jian looked at the south and said hatefully.

Ku Cheng immediately understood, and said with great joy: "The Lord is wise, the Lord is like this, if Yang Zilu sends someone to Tianmu Mountain to search for the Lord, it will delay the opportunity to sneak attack the Wu Kingdom." If you don't attack, then you can only cross the country with us! In the end, Yang Zilu also had a bamboo basket to draw water! When the husband sent the class teacher back to the court, Yang Zilu finally had to give up the land of Jiangbei! ”

Gou Jian shook his head and said: "You said that you missed a little, Yang Zilu can also send people back to China to transfer troops and guard the grain road with heavy troops." But in this way, it also gives us an opportunity! Whatever the case may be, though! Yang Zilu won't feel good either! ”

When Ku Cheng heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Lord, the minister will go down and order the soldiers to prepare to evacuate Li!" ”

Gou Jian nodded and said, "Well, how much has Tianmu Mountain prepared in terms of grain?" ”

"Enough for 3,000 people for half a year!" Bitter report.

"Hmm!" Gou Jian frowned and said, "Why are there so few?" ”

Ku Cheng smiled bitterly: "Lord, it's not that the minister doesn't want to transport more, but what is the situation of the roads around Tianmu Mountain, and the lord probably knows it in his heart." These grains are completely transported by the people alone, and the loss along the way is relatively large! To be able to transport half a year's worth of grain, this is already the best effort of the minister! ”

"That's it! Half a year is half a year! This war should not drag on for half a year! It's just that the food left in the city, in order not to let Yang Zilu get it, I'm afraid it has to be destroyed! Although Gou Jian's tone was regretful, the expression on his face was very decisive.

Ku Cheng was also very sorry, thought for a while, and proposed: "Lord, why don't you open a warehouse and release grain?" It is better to hide this grain among the people than to destroy it like this! And Yang Zilu is known for his own benevolence, and the minister believes that he will not rob the people's grain! ”

"No way!" Gou Jian said decisively, "If it were another time, maybe Yang Zilu would not plunder the people's grain, but now it is different." If Yang Zilu plundered the people's grain, then the pressure on his baggage camp would be reduced a lot. He didn't even need to carry food to deliver food, he already had enough food to support the end of this war! Otherwise, this may lead to the defeat of the Han state! At this time, what is there to be for? ”

Speaking of this, Gou Jian paused, looked at Ku Cheng, and said solemnly: "Remember, don't be lucky with the enemy!" This is only true if it is in your own hands! ”

"It's the Lord! Chen really missed a big thing just now! Ku Cheng nodded and said with a little shame on his face.

"Dazai, everyone makes mistakes! You can just remember what the widow just said! Gou Jian soothed, "No! Lord, the minister went down and ordered the grain to be burned! Kucheng retired.

Gou Jian responded, and after Ku Cheng left, he walked out of the corridor and looked towards the southern sky, his face was hideous, and he said word by word: "Yang Zilu!" Widows will never let you have a good time! Even if you go to hell, the widow will carry you down! ”

............ "The Lord has all crossed Zhejiang!" Hou Xiong stepped forward and said respectfully.

"Good! Pass the order! Let's scuttle the boat! Scuffle all the ships! Yang Zilu commanded.

Hou Xiong was stunned, wondering if he had misheard, and asked, "Lord, what did you just order?" ”

"Pass the order! Will so the ship be scuttled! Did you hear me clearly? Do you want to say it for the third time? Yang Zilu glanced at Hou Xiong sharply, and said in a deep voice.

"Lord! Without these ships, how can we transport grain in the future! Now the whole army has only three days of dry food! Hou Xiong confirmed this time that he didn't hear it wrong, but that his own master was crazy!

"The widow just needs you to obey the widow's orders!" Yang Zilu said stiffly.

There was no way to follow up, so I had to go down and tell the generals at the same time, hoping that someone of them could persuade Yang Zilu. But no matter who came to persuade him, Yang Zilu just replied with a hard word. "The vocation of a soldier!"

What is the vocation of a soldier? Absolute obedience to orders. So the generals who came to persuade Yang Zilu were dumbfounded, and they didn't know how to persuade Yang Zilu.

The soldiers of the Han army, who were originally imposing, were also confused by this order, and they didn't know what was going on. Why scuttle ships? Isn't this a self-defeating road? Many soldiers protested, but in the end, they scuttled all the troop carriers under the strong orders of the officers.

After scuttling all the ships, Yang Zilu ordered the mobilization of 8,000 Han troops under his command. Yang Zilu walked up to the temporary high platform, glanced at the 8,000 Han troops under the stage, and shouted: "What do you think your capital has become? Are you still Han Army? ”

All the soldiers of the Han army were ashamed of Yang Zilu's words.

"Are you afraid? No one is afraid, but what are you afraid of? Yang Zilu's words were like a blow to the head, waking up the Han soldiers. Everyone couldn't help but ask: Yes! Why are we afraid? The Lord is not afraid!

"The ship has been scuttled, and the widow has also ordered the country not to transport even a single rice across the north shore! Now we all have only three days of food. Go north, and two days later, it will be the Wuyuan of the Wu Kingdom! There, if we are not able to defeat the soldiers of the Wu State, it is needless to say what the result will be! But are you afraid that you won't be able to defeat the incompetent Wu Dog in one day? Yang Zilu roared.

"Don't be afraid!"

"Kill all the Wu dogs!"

The soldiers of the Han army who were cornered aroused the pride in their hearts, thinking to themselves, Yang Zilu, the king of a country, is not afraid! What are we afraid of? Big deal, die!

"Good! This is my big man's soldier! The widow can tell you that the widow may not be at the front of the attack, but the widow can tell you! From the moment the widow sets foot on the north shore, he will not step back even an inch! The widow will either return triumphantly! Or the Horse Leather Shroud! Yang Zilu made a loud noise.

"We are willing to live and die with the Lord!" The morale of the Han army has been stimulated, and all the soldiers of the Han army have put life and death on the line.

"Forward!" Yang Zilu ended this oath with two words.

The morale of the Han army was unprecedentedly high, and they lined up in a long snake formation and strode towards the north.

............ "Lord! Chen Yin, who was sent out to inquire about the news, walked into the cave with a strange face and saluted Gou Jian.

"How's it going?" Gou Jian asked a little anxiously.

"Han barbarian, how should I say it! They're weird! Chen Yin said.

"Strange? How strange is the law? Gou Jian asked suspiciously.

"They didn't attack Li Li, and even according to the ministers, Yang Zilu didn't send people to attack the cities and villages along the way, and even sent people to announce that this place had been ruled by the Han State!" Chen Yin's face became more and more puzzled.

"How is that possible? If he doesn't attack Xiali and the cities along the way, how can Yang Zilu ensure the safety of his grain route? Gou Jian's eyes widened, and he muttered in disbelief.
