Xiao Yizhi and Gu Changhuai came out of the dense forest of Taishan and looked a little embarrassed.

The Qingyan Army consoled the western foothills of the mountain, and the pro-Puji cottage forces consoled the eastern foothills, and in order to prevent the infiltration of the opposing scouts, the two sides were densely packed with sentry posts within their respective control areas.

Xiao Yizhi straightened his messy clothes, frowned lightly and said: "The highest Taishan is only three hundred zhang, but it is majestic and steep, making us so unbearable. If I preside over the Qingyan Army, I will definitely do my best to control the mountain, even if he says that Fuzhou, Chongyi and other places are occupied by Gongliang Youqin, the Qingyan Army can condescendingly deter the Puji Army. ”

Gu Changhuai smiled and raised his eyes to look into the distance. Yunxi zigzags and winds five or six hundred steps away, sparkling and dazzling people's eyes, a thin figure squatting by the stream, Gu Changhuai gave birth to a mysterious feeling that he was dissolved with the stream of this vast soup, if he didn't see it with his own eyes, he would definitely not be aware of his existence.

Xiao Yizhi followed Gu Changhuai's gaze, his whole body was shocked, and he was facing the red sky, the light that was short and long at first glance was spitting around the person, and he couldn't see the person's figure and clothes clearly, but he understood in his heart that the person's cultivation was much higher than his own, looking at Gu Changhuai's reaction, he thought: Could it be that Changhuai can't see through his depth?

Xiao Yizhi's mind quickly turned the names of several people, and then denied the thoughts in his heart.

Gu Changhuai smiled: "Don't think too much, he should be General Qingfeng." ”

Gu Changhuai should see it more clearly than himself, although he has a trace of suspicion, but it is not impossible to think that Xu Ruyu is good at strange strategies. Xiao Yizhi said worriedly: "Don't misunderstand. ”

The man looked up, and although he couldn't really see it, he clearly felt his smile like a lotus, and the sparkling water waves instantly became vivid, and then the man's thin and handsome face was clearly presented in his eyes. Xiao Yizhi was very surprised, and thought: Xu Ru's foolish mysteries can affect the horizon of others.

"It's a great honor to meet Brother Changhuai and Brother Yi here." Xu Ruyu was far away, and he was slowly moving.

Xiao Yizhi returned the salute in surprise, thinking: How could he recognize himself at a glance before he had the opportunity to meet him? glanced sideways at Gu Changhuai, and saw that he was also confused.

Xu Ruyu said as he walked: "Bo Ying sent a letter last night, saying that the two of them left the Lishui River Valley. ”

Xiao Yizhi suddenly realized, he said that he and Changhuai said goodbye to Xuancheng without saying goodbye, Xu Boying must have expected that he would enter Fuzhou, and he must have detailed their faces in the letter, so Xu Ruyu recognized it at a glance. But the Xuancheng messenger was actually healthier than his own feet, and he thought of another wonderful way. Xu Ruyu did not hide it at all, but Xiao Yi was very useful in his heart.

Far away, Xu Ruyu's keen and spiritual five senses took in the expressions of Xiao Yizhi and Gu Changhuai.

Xiao Yizhi and Gu Changhuai have never been in contact with the Xuancheng people, they sneaked away, and they are here this morning.

Xu Ruyu couldn't help but think of Xu Boying's words in the letter: "The world has a lot of discussions about the situation in Fuzhou and Yueqing, but most of the people who think it is unfavorable to the Qingyan Army. Xu Ruyu smiled secretly, didn't I meet by chance? Xu Ruyu's Five Senses Return to the Heart of Knowledge, in the quiet moment of Qingjiang, dissolved with heaven and earth, and the perception extended to a distance of more than ten miles. Xiao Yizhi and Gu Changhuai avoided the forces of the village in the morning, and were eager to come out of the Taishan Mountain where the morning dew hung on the branches, and it was difficult to control the overflow of Danxi, so naturally they could not escape the chance encounter deliberately arranged by Xu Ruyu.

At the beginning of April, more than 35,000 Puji bandits gathered in Lianhua Mountain left Yueqing's key place and went deep into the west side of Fuzhou, arriving at Yunwuhuang Town the night before, only 30 miles away from Taishan Jizhai.

The four villages of Taishan controlled the passage between Fuzhou and the Lishui River Valley, the Jizhai and Shaozhai at the eastern foot of Taishan were controlled by the Puji bandits, and the Yuanqiao Village and Shengyun Village at the western foot were handed over to the Baiyi clan by Xu Ruyu. In response to the sudden large-scale assembly of the Puji bandits at the eastern foot of Taishan, Ziyangqiu sent more than 10,000 elite soldiers to Qingyaling in Wuling Mountain.

Yunwu Huangzhen is located in the upper reaches of Yunxi, Xu Ruyu gathered 5,000 soldiers from the village to rush to the area of Yuzhan Ling on the east bank of Yunxi, more than 120 miles away from Yunwu Town. Nearly 10,000 soldiers from the villages in Chongyi and Qingjiang were ordered to assemble here, but the Suwei camp and the Fuzhou Buying, which was not known to the world, were nowhere to be found.

Xu Ruyu pointed to the mist and said to the jade case ridge in the light cage of mist: "Gao said that it has not risen, this fog is thicker, and the milk color is like jade, so this mountain is called the jade case ridge, this is what Mr. Gu Mingshan Gu said to me." ”

Several routes for the migration of the people into the Lishui River Valley were concentrated north of Yuzhanling, where Xu Ruyu gathered his forces, apparently to prevent the Puji army from moving north.

Xiao Yizhi was a little puzzled by Xu Ruyu's gesture of fighting with the Puji bandits here.

At the beginning of the relocation, with the ability of Xu Ruyu and Shao Haitang, it is not difficult to predict the predicament of today, but it has never taken precautions, uprooted several cottages at the eastern foot of Taishan, and left a safe passage between Taishan and Yunxi for Gongliang Youqin.

Xiao Yizhi noticed something strange, but he couldn't guess where Xu Ruyu's trick was.

I'm afraid that Gongliang Youqin also has this kind of question in his heart.

Puji's 35,000 soldiers and horses stagnated when they marched to Yunwuhuang Town on the night before, and Gongliang Youqin closed himself in a big tent and handed over the marching affairs to Zhao Weixu, and never gathered the army to discuss it.

Zhao Weixu was secretly worried, Xu Ruyu laid down such a suspicious formation, which made it difficult to make a decision, but the coach did not say anything for a long time, and showed that his ambition was taken away in front of the officers and soldiers of the three armies, how could his ambition be cheered up. Maybe Xu Ruyu needs such a result.

Gongliang Youqin saw Zhao Weixu open the curtain and enter the tent, and asked: "There are several cottages at the eastern foot of Taishan, except for Shaozhai and Jizhai, the combat power is between four hundred and six hundred, and it should not be difficult to overcome with the strength of the Qingyan Army, why did Xu Ruyu leave such a flaw?" It was here that I was marching and I suddenly realized this. ”

Zhao Weixu heard his hoarse voice, looked up, and saw that his eyes were bloodshot, and he was shocked, not wanting him to be so confused by Xu Ruyu's doubts. It is impossible to persuade to withdraw to Yueqing's back and abdomen at this time.

Zhao Weixu combed through Xu Ruyu's deeds one by one, but found that he used tactics and tactics to find no trace, and he is undoubtedly the person who is the most proficient in taking advantage of the situation among the soldiers today. If you want to go toe-to-toe with him, you can't use surprises, only show each other. With oddity, the potential changes are unpredictable, and if you are a little surprised, you will be taken advantage of by Xu Ruyu. is fighting each other, so he is naturally not afraid of his bluff.

Xu Ru smiled and said: "Taishan, except for the four villages, there is no channel well pass between the east foot and the west foothills, even if the troops are sent to occupy the cottage at the eastern foot of Taishan, it is only a stronghold to get a few reading powers, and its value is only to delay the Puji army for a while, and the Puji bandits counterattack on these cottages does not need much strength, we will not be able to threaten the Puji bandits marching between Taishan and Yunxi, it is better to change this to make Gongliang Youqin suspicious and suspicious, and it is also a false plan to extend the urn." ”

The Jade Case Ridge is full of unknown wildflowers, the color is elegant and the fragrance is far away, Xu Ruyu said lightly, looking at Xiao Yizhi indifferently.

After Xiao Gu and Xu Ruyu deliberately met by chance on the bank of Yunxi, they were kept by Xu Ruyu as guests in Yuzhan Ridge for three days.

Tu Wenyong smiled lightly and thought: How can you two be allowed to run around in Fuzhou at this time?

Liang Bao led 2,000 soldiers of the Xuancheng Infantry Battalion to Yuzhan Ling, where he had been following Xu Ruyu for more than two years and was able to skillfully reorganize the 17,000 soldiers and horses assembled near Yuzhan Ling. He looked away with a lot of thoughts at this time, as if he didn't care about Xu Ruyu's words.

Liang Bao was the first to follow Xu Ruyu, and others may not know the strategy of using troops this time, but Liang Bao will not be unaware. Xiao Yizhi didn't expect to judge anything from Xu Ruyu's expression, but his eyes were staring at Liang Bao, seeing him like this, thinking of the matter of Shui Ruying and sleeves, he secretly felt pity.

Xiao Yizhi said: "Yunxi to the north of Chongyi flows into the Qianjiang River, and the Qianjiang River and the Qingjiang River are connected by the Fengling River. Fengling River crosses Qingjiangyi, there are hundreds of miles of waterway siltation and congestion, which is not conducive to navigation, as long as the Fengling River is dredged, Qingjiang Wuyi will be connected into one. The Qingyan Army cleared the cottages, and it seemed that they were the most powerful in clearing the cottages on both sides of the Fengling River. ”

Xu Ruyun didn't mind Xiao Yizhi's tentative tone, and said: "The water network of Yuejun is like weaving, and the benefits of warships are not in the world, but for more than 20 years, the two water camps of Zhu and Fan have suffered setbacks in front of the Puji water camp, and they no longer have the strength to compete with them on the water. The Fan family used Yuhang Jiancheng to lock the Qianjiang waterway, so as to prevent the Puji army from wantonly infiltrating with the help of the Yuejun water network. Can Zhu Jiayan not worry that after the Puji army conquered Yuhang City, the Puji Water Battalion quickly invaded the Qingjiang waterway by using the Fengling River? Several sluices in the Fengling River are intentionally damaged by the Zhu family, and the Fengling River is now said to be silted up and congested, which is actually the intention of the Zhu family. However, looking at the several waterways between Wuzhou Mansion and Yuhang Mansion, only one water system in Wujiang is conducive to navigation. Dredging the river can be done in the middle of the month, which will be beneficial at this time? ”

Xu Ruyu paused for a moment, and said in a very light tone: "The first to clear the cottages on both sides of the Fengling River is indeed to dredge the Fengling River as soon as possible. ”

"Oh." Hearing that he seemed to be completely sure that Gongliang Youqin's offensive would be turned away, Xiao Yizhi couldn't help but be curious again, but he couldn't ask, thought about it, and asked: "Offshore the Wujiang River, the small warships of the Puji Water Camp can enter it from time to time, and the Fengling River can run through the Qianjiang River, which is undoubtedly the wealth of business travel." ”

Gu Mingshan said on the side: "Wujiang connects the Great River and the Qianjiang River, and there is Daze to accommodate the autumn and summer Yushui, so that Wuzhou has no worries about waterlogging and drought. Qingjiang Mansion except for the Lishui River Valley, the rest of the water conservancy needs to spend a lot of effort to remediate, Donglin will crisscross the river, will not be a person who is skilled in hydrology, can you recommend one or two? ”

Xu Ruyu had already asked Jiang Lingtian to pay attention to the knowledgeable people in this area. Now the Yongyang family is truly attached to Xu Ru, and the only one who is a fool is the Mei family, and the other families are just succumbing to the joint suppression of Jiang Lingtian and Mei Tierui. Most of Yongyang's craftsmen who are proficient in various practices are controlled by the family, and the Mei family has no suitable person to preside over water conservancy, so the water conservancy in Qingjiang Mansion will be delayed.

Seeing Gu Mingshan mention it under the pretext, Xu Ruyu's eyes narrowed slightly to see Xiao Yizhi's reaction.

Xiao Yizhi laughed and said, "General Qingfeng only needs to spare a few pots of jade pot spring snow." ”

Gu Changhuai saw Xu Ruyu looking sideways, and smiled modestly: "Gu someone knows a little about water conservancy, and he can't deserve the spring snow of the jade pot." After that, I was afraid that Xu Ruyu would really not invite the jade pot spring snow, and he regretted it very much.

Xu Ru smiled foolishly: "Those who have contributed to the "River Canal Book", how can it be said that they only know a little about water conservancy? "Those who are good for the country must first eliminate the five evils, and the five evils must be eliminated, starting with water", which seems to be the original words of Mr.? Brother Yi, he studied water conservancy in Changhuai, and he is not a person who knows a little? ”

Xiao Yizhi was stunned, but Gu Changhuai instantly understood Xu Ruyu's intention to throw stones to ask for directions before, and he and Yizhidu were not alert, revealing their intention to cooperate with the Qingyan Army, Gu Changhuai laughed, and said loudly: "What General Qingfeng learned from Shoujun, and Yijun helped him, it is only natural that Gu someone can't hide his strengths and weaknesses." "Look, look at Xiao Yizhi, after all, this trip is mainly with him.

Xiao Yizhi said: "The world is not optimistic about the Qingyan Army, but I don't think so. The Donglin Society has always not interfered in the military and political affairs of various forces, but it has communicated with each other. Baiyi depends on the Lishui River Valley, and the revival of the ancient tea horse road leading to Southern Fujian is imminent, and on behalf of the Donglin Association, I would like to request General Qingfeng to set up a branch in Lishui New Town. ”

Xu Ruyu thought to himself: If you are really optimistic about the Qingyan Army, how can there be a trip to Fuzhou, just need to discuss with Xu Boying. His face was not revealed, and he said: "Under the jurisdiction of the Qingyan Army's forces, the Donglin Society's warships are not conducive to trespassing, and the safety matters are borne by the Qingjiang Water Battalion; The Donglin Society can only trade with the Qingyan Army, and is not allowed to hire people privately within the jurisdiction of the Qingyan Army. For other details, I will send someone to escort you back to Xuancheng, and you can discuss it with Mr. Shao and Bo Ying. However, the two sides agreed that the Donglin Association would need to help me transport a group of people from Yongyang. ”

Xiao Yizhi and Gu Changhuai looked at each other, not knowing how to respond.

Xu Ruyu smiled faintly and said, "Donglin Society is still afraid of Gongliang Youqin?" ”

Xiao Yizhi was not provoked by Xu Ruyu's words, and locked his eyebrows and thought deeply. He is responsible for the affairs of the six southeastern counties of the Donglin Association, but now he should be undertaken, and he will inevitably be held accountable by the elders in the association in the future.

The Donglin Society does not interfere in the military and political affairs of the forces, but the Donglin Society rose twenty years ago by interfering in the politics of the Eastern Navy. Now on the waterway of the Great River, Donglin will be squeezed by the Two Lakes Gang, and have to withdraw from the three counties of Jinyang, Nanping and Jingjun, Xu Ruyu really rose in Qingjiang, and Donglin will not only expand to Yue County, but also expand the southern part of Jingjun, Nanmin and Nanning.

Xiao Yizhi looked up to look at Gu Changhuai, but saw that he turned his head to look away, obviously asking him to make his own decision.

Xu Ruyu couldn't have predicted the prophet, he didn't know that he knew that he intended to cooperate with him before this, and it was impossible for him to consider the factors of Yongyang Mansion before that, could it be that in addition to Yongyang, he still had the means to win?

Xiao Yizhi calculated the odds of victory for the Qingyan Army in his heart, but after all, he didn't know Xu Ruyu's arrangement and gained nothing. If the Qingyan Army loses in this battle, the Donglin Society will lose more than it gains. However, Xu Ruyu looked calm and comfortable, but he didn't explain a word or two to Xiao Yizhi.

Xiao Yizhi asked: "Even if the Donglin Association is willing, can it be at the right time?" ”

Tu Wenyong said with a smile: "Time is more urgent for us, isn't it more beneficial for your association to discuss the details of cooperation?" ”

Xu Ruyu said: "The two armies are fighting, and they are just leading to the advantage of the situation, and the suspicion is in front, how can Gongliang Youqin act rashly?" Even if he breaks through this suspicion, I am confident that the battle will be postponed until half a month later. ”

Xiao Yizhi and Gu Changhuai, escorted by the elite guards of the Qingyan Army, rushed to Xuancheng on the same day to discuss the cooperation between the two families with Shao Haitang, Xu Boying and others who stayed in Xuancheng.

Fan Che knew in Jinhua City that Gongliang Youqin sent 35,000 soldiers and horses to Yunwuhuang Town, and at this time, outside Yueqing City, there were only 15,000 Puji troops, which was equivalent to the number of elite soldiers of the Fan family who defended the city. Outside Jinhua City, Puji still maintained 20,000 troops, monitoring the movements of the Fan family's 20,000 soldiers and horses in Jinhua City.

Fan Che looked up at the hazy weather, the dark clouds were combined, the sky was dim, the trees wanted to be quiet and the wind did not stop, and there were constantly green new leaves falling, popping, and the branches were blown by the wind. The grass is low.

Suddenly, the lightning snake walked through the dark clouds, and several branches of light appeared, and suddenly the explosion came.

This thunder and lightning came earlier than in previous years, Fan Che's heart was inexplicably tight, and he whispered: "Gongliang Youqin is anxious to fight with Xu Ruyu at the northern foot of Taishan, why is he lingering in Yunwu Desert Town? ”

Fan Wenlong was silent, and followed behind Fan Che with a silver spear in his hand. He knew that the lord was just asking himself.

In the past eight months, the Qingyan Army and the Fan family have been separated from each other, and they have jointly fought against the Puji bandits in an extremely loose alliance, so the Fan family is not very clear about what Qingyan is doing.

Fan Che continued: "The Qingyan Army has 1,500 people per battalion, and it can be expanded to 2,000 people in wartime, and the Qingyan Army has eight battalions at this time, with an elite combat power of up to 16,000 people, and at this time, the soldiers of the village gathered in Yuzhan Ling are as high as 15,000 people, and the Baiyi clan has 15,000 elite combat power, which means that Xu Ruyu's mobilized combat power is far more than 35,000 people. ”

Fan Wenlong didn't think so, there are still many places where the Qingyan army needs to defend, the remnants of the Twelve Kou Alliances need to be blocked, the six villages of Huaiyushan have different intentions, Xu Ru can not be guarded against, the Baiyi clan needs to guard against the hostile forces of Yunling and Southern Fujian, how can the combat strength of the 15,000 soldiers gathered in Yuzhan Ridge be comparable to the Puji bandits?

"Wenlong, you sneak into Yueqing City immediately, as long as Gongliang Youqin fights with Xu Ruyu at the northern foot of Taishan and reaches Yueqing, you will immediately abandon the city and lead 15,000 elite soldiers to recapture Yantan Fort."

"If Puji throws 15,000 troops outside Yueqing City into the battlefield at the northern foot of Taishan, the Qingyan Army will undoubtedly face a catastrophe."

Fan Che shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "Xu Ruyu will not only have this trick, and the 50,000 elite soldiers of Puji can only win a miserable victory." "I thought: The 10,000 elite soldiers secretly transferred from Yuhang Mansion will secretly sneak into the near side of Jinhua in no three days, and the opportunity for the revitalization of my Fan family has finally come.
