The night faded and the morning sun covered the mountains.

Yuan Xu sat by the fire, whistling and baking a rabbit pierced with branches.

Zhang He was a little anxious, not as leisurely as him.

One hundred and ten soldiers carrying shovels came lazily from the south.

When they entered the barracks, they threw away their shovels and sat down on the ground.

After burying the corpses all night, the soldiers did not have the slightest extra strength.

Glancing at them, Zhang He said, "Most of the dead are enemy soldiers. It is enough to bury the dead of our army, so why bury the corpses of the enemy? ”

"Exposed corpse wilderness, it's very ugly!" Yuan Xu brought the rabbit roasted to his nose and sniffed it.

"There are a lot of wolves, insects, tigers and leopards in the mountains, and they will always be dragged away......"

"How many wolves are there? One or two thousand corpses, even if they are stored for the winter, are enough. ”

"Childe's house is kind-hearted......"

"It has nothing to do with benevolence!" Yuan Xu said: "Dead people sometimes kill!" The corpses are rotting, and the mosquito disease is bound to rage! Our army will return in the future, and once it is infected with the plague, the consequences will be unimaginable! ”

"Taking advantage of the new victory, if you don't go all out, do you want to go back?" Zhang He was very surprised.

"Gongsun continued to be defeated, and Zhang Yan will come to help. The enemy's strength is large, and if we fight hard, our army is not an opponent. Mianmanshui relies on the mountains, and when Zhang Yan arrives, our army camps there, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the enemy army is also difficult to break. ”

"Gongzi said earlier that Gongsun Xu has more troops and horses than our army, and he should hold on to it for a long time, and he doesn't want to be defeated overnight!" Zhang He said: "If Zhang Yan comes, there may be a change!" ”

"If a person wants to die, he can't stop it!" Yuan Xu pouted and smiled: "Gongsun Xu is not calm enough, and when he hears the drum horn at night, it is chaotic, what is the way for him to find death?" Zhang Yan has been entrenched in Taihang for many years, and he knows this place well, and it is by no means easy to deal with! ”

"Is there a good way to break the enemy?" has great trust in Yuan Xu, Zhang He hurriedly asked.

Looking to the north, Yuan Xu said, "Wait until the scout returns and then make plans!" ”

At the same time, Gongsun Xu, who had fled all night and was embarrassed, climbed a hill with the remnants of his soldiers.

The hill is lush with vegetation, and a clear stream runs through the mountain.

Looking around, Gongsun Xu suddenly looked up and laughed.

He smiled proudly and arrogantly, and the captain on the side asked worriedly, "Why is the general laughing?" ”

"Look here!" Gongsun Xu pointed around: "The hillside is gentle, and it is just right for our army to be condescending." The stream runs through the mountains, and even if it is stationed in the moon, there will be no shortage of water in the army! ”

The captain still felt that something was wrong and reminded: "The enemy army has won a new victory, and the morale is rising, so it is safer to ask General Zhang for help." ”

"How many soldiers are there?" Gongsun continued to glare at him.

"There are many war dead and deserted, and there are only more than 3,000 people who came here with the general......"

"Three thousand is not enough?" Interrupting him, Gongsun continued: "The enemy army is 3,000, and our army is 3,000, and it has the advantage of location. Yuan Xu dared to chase after him, and he must not leave a piece of armor! ”

I couldn't persuade him, and the captain didn't dare to say it again.

He was not as optimistic as Gongsun Xu.

In the first battle of Mianmanshui, tens of thousands of troops were broken by Yuan's army overnight.

Yuan's army launched an attack late at night, and until the end of the battle, it was not even dawn......

"Give the order to go down and camp at the top of the mountain!" The decision has been made, and Gongsun continued to give the order.

Half an hour later, a Yuan scout rode into the camp.

"Childe! Checkmate! Turned over and dismounted, ran in front of Yuan Xu and Zhang He, and the scout said: "Gongsun continues to stop at Cangyan Mountain!" ”

"How's the terrain?" Yuan Xu blurted out.

"It's not the main peak, it's just a hill! The mountain is quite gentle, which is conducive to diving......"

"Is there a mountain spring stream?"

"But there's a stream......

"Gongsun Xu has thought of a strategy to defeat our army!" Letting the scouts retreat, Yuan Xu said to Zhang He: "The gentle terrain of the mountain is conducive to diving, if our army goes to the bottom of the mountain, he will have the advantage of the location." As for the mountain streams, they are for the army to drink! ”

"Attacking the hill, the casualties must be not small!" Zhang He frowned.

"What he's waiting for is our army attacking on the back, how can so-and-so do it?" Yuan Xu said: "Gongsun Xu's move is exactly what he said before!" If a man seeks death, he cannot stop it! ”

"Gongsun continues to occupy the advantage of geographical advantages, but where does Gongzi's words come from?"

"What seems to be a great place is often a place of death!" Yuan Xu said: "He sits on the hill, there is no way to retreat, if our army cuts off the flow of water, and then put a fire at the foot of the mountain......"

Zhang He's eyes widened, and he looked at him in disbelief.

The water flow was cut off, not to mention that drinking water for the army became a problem, and a fire was set at the bottom of the mountain, and there was no water source to fight the fire.

Gongsun Xu really jumped into a dangerous place where he would die!

While the two were talking, Zhu Gongdao and Ma Yi came.

"Childe!" Carrying a beast that looked like a dog, Zhu Gong shouted: "The rabbit is not caught, catch a big one." ”

"Wild dogs?" Yuan Xu was a little surprised.

If there are wild dogs nearby, they must have come by smelling the bloody smell of the corpse.

"The two of you came just in time, summon Ma Fei too!" Signaling to Zhu Gong to put down the wild dog, Yuan Xu commanded.

Ma Yi turned to leave and called the horse to fly away.

Zhu Gongdao threw the wild dogs on the ground: "There are many wild dogs, and I chased them for a long time before I held one down." Childe, do you want to peel it off? ”

"There is a lot of meat in the army, and the two of you are still hunting wild animals, I don't think it was enough to fight last night!" Zhang He interjected on the side.

"The enemy can't help but fight!" Zhu Gongdao pouted: "A certain stick just danced, and they just ran!" ”

"There's a time when you dance a stick!" Ma Yi came with Ma Fei, and Yuan Xu said: "You wait and sit down, there is something important to entrust!" ”

The servants first saluted Zhang He, and then sat down next to the two.

"Ma Fei, you are a steady and old man, and the important things will be entrusted to you!" Recounted the incident of Gongsun continuing to be stationed on the hill, Yuan Xu said to Ma Fei: "This evening, you led people up the mountain quietly and diverted the stream from upstream. Remember, your whereabouts must be kept secret and not discovered by the enemy! ”

"Don't worry, Childe!"

"Justice, righteousness!" Yuan Xu continued: "Blocking the road and setting fire to the mountain will definitely be easy for the two of you. Sneak down to the bottom of the mountain this evening, wait for Ma Fei to divert the stream down the mountain to join you, and set a fire upwind! ”

"Remember! The more intense the fire, the better! Including the birds in the forest, they must also be burned clean! ”

"No!" The two responded in unison.

"Keep this wild dog for the time being, and when it is done, a certain person will cook it himself, and celebrate for you!"

"Thank you, Childe!" Knowing that Yuan Xu would cook wild dogs himself, the servants subconsciously swallowed their saliva.

The food cooked by Yuan Xu is delicious.

After eating, eating others is like chewing wax.

He cooked dog meat to celebrate his success, which was indeed a great reward!
