Chapter Fifty-Five: Wutu Town
The night was as dark as ink. A heavy snow covered the entire land, and the sky and the earth were gloomy. In the central tent, there were enough candle shadows, and Chu Xiaofeng slowly spread the map on the table, and circled Xianghe County, Tanglin County and Shaozhe County with a brush.
He pointed to Xianghe County, which was in the central position, and said, "If the Yongle Sect traitors want to successfully occupy the three counties, they must first occupy Xianghe County. First, Xianghe County is located in the lower part of the middle, surrounded by mountains on three sides, if you rashly attack the city from the other two counties, there is only a dead end. Second, there are heavy troops in Xianghe County, and it is easy to support the other two counties, if you don't control Xianghe County first, it will be difficult to capture the other two counties! ”
"Childe's analysis has penetrated into the inside, it seems that we urgently need to strengthen the defenses of Xianghe County." After hearing this, Yang Hu nodded slightly. Chu Xiaofeng's analysis was in place everywhere, consistent with his thoughts, which made him admire the person in front of him even more. A few years ago, I always heard that these three princes were a gentleman who did not do his job, but now it seems that this person must have great ambitions.
"Hehe, General Yang's words are wrong, why do we want to strengthen our defenses? What we need to do is to evacuate the troops of Xianghe County. Chu Xiaofeng smiled and said lightly.
"What! Evacuate the troops of Xianghe County? In this case, wouldn't Xianghe County be handed over? Tang Fengliu asked puzzled. Just now, Gongzi clearly said that Xianghe County is the most important of the three counties, why did he suddenly ask for the evacuation of Xianghe County's troops, isn't this a contradiction?
With a "snap", Yang Hu gave Tang Fengliu a burst of millet and said with a smile: "Let your kid read more books on weekdays, but you just won't listen." How's that, confused, right? ”
"Haha, it seems that General Yang has already understood the mystery." Chu Xiaofeng laughed and laughed. He picked up the tea bowl on the bookcase and took a sip gently, and then said: "In order to solve the crisis of internal and external troubles, my father decentralized, hoping to use the power of the family to quell the civil strife. It's time for these great families to come out and move their muscles. ”
"Childe is right, only Xianghe County is empty, and the enemy is current. Those high-ranking families will be forced to unite with the outside world under pressure, and they will send troops to aid Xianghe County. Yang Hu's eyes flashed, and a long-lost feeling hit his heart. He seemed to have returned to the camp at the border gate, and he gestured and pointed out the country.
"I understand, Gongzi wants me to spread the news and tell the five great families that the Yongle Sect will have a major move." Tang Fengliu rubbed the back of his head and said with a smile.
"Yes, it is. However, you not only have to spread the news to the five great families, but also to the Yongle Sect. The corners of Chu Xiaofeng's mouth hooked, bent a cold arc, and continued: "As the saying goes, knowing yourself and knowing your opponent will win all battles. Only when they know each other well can they do the most harm to each other. ”
"I see, Gongzi is high, and his subordinates are out of reach!" The muscles on Tang Fengliu's face twitched, this son was really ruthless, and in just a few words, more people had died. In this way, the five great families and the Yongle Sect are afraid that they will lose a large number of troops.
"As for how to evacuate the troops of Xianghe County and how to spread the news, you can do it yourself." Chu Xiaofeng regained a warm smile on his face, and bowed slightly at Yang Hu and the others.
"Weichen takes the order!"
Yang Hu and Tang Fengliu hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said in a low voice. The two looked at each other, and both saw the horror in each other's eyes. The master in front of him is really powerful, and such a crisis has turned him into an opportunity while talking and laughing. Not only can it effectively destroy the Yongle Sect's rebellion plan, but it can also hit the power of the five great families to the greatest extent.
Watching Yang Hu and the others walk out of the big tent, Chu Xiaofeng sat back on the bookcase. He picked up a brush and wrote down on the paper the five major families of the Guan family, the Pang family, the Yuwen family, the Chen family, and the Yue family. His eyes were as deep as the stars, and he didn't know what to do. After a long time, he raised his hand lightly and made a cross on the Guan family, followed by the Yue family, the Yuwen family, and the Chen family, leaving only the Pang family.
"Old thief Pang Wen, your plot of revenge, this prince will remember it in his heart!" Chu Xiaofeng crumpled the rice paper into a ball and threw it into the brazier in the center of the tent. Looking at the flames that instantly rose because of the entry of the paper ball, a cold smile hung on the corner of Chu Xiaofeng's mouth, daring to offend him Chu Xiaofeng, waiting for their end was only destruction.
The cold wind was howling outside, as if to pour out the unquiet of the night. In the distance, a snowflake on the trunk of a tree flutters in the wind and eventually falls to the ground, merging with all the whiteness.
On the second day, Chu Xiaofeng said goodbye to everyone, took Yu Wenlang and Zhang Fei, and rushed to the Tangyao Valley. The Golden Scaled Pony pulled a wide carriage and galloped like a fly. In the car, Yu Wenlang was in charge of taking care of Zhang Fei, while Chu Xiaofeng was in charge of catching up with the car. There is no way, this golden scale horse only obeys Chu Xiaofeng's orders.
Seeing the carriage gradually disappear into the distance, everyone dispersed and prepared their own business. Doubts flashed in the poison doctor's cloudy old eyes, and he quietly opened a paper ball in his hand, which read: Southeast, Lord Daji. The paper was crumpled into a ball again, and the poison doctor tucked it into his sleeve. Then he turned and walked briskly to his tent.
"Can you tell me who the kid is now?" As soon as the curtain was opened, the poison doctor couldn't wait to ask in a low voice.
In the center of the big tent, a middle-aged man was drinking tea leisurely, and it was Huang Gai, the head of Qinghe Town.
"Mr. Li said, the time has not come, why are you in a hurry." Huang Gai, dressed in plain clothes, sat in the middle of the tent and laughed softly.
"Huang Zhutou, you!" The poison doctor sat down on the chair next to him in a huff, threw the paper ball in his sleeve into the brazier, and then said, "Then you have to tell me, why did Mr. Li let him go to the Decoction Valley?" ”
"Hey, no comment. Actually, Mr. Li didn't tell me about it. Huang Gai took a sip of tea and said with a smile. He stood up and said to the poison doctor, "I'm going back to Qinghe Town, take care of yourself." ”
"Let's go, let's go! It's really unruly to come all the way and tell my old man to do things for you. The poison doctor muttered, very dissatisfied. If it weren't for Mr. Li's face, he wouldn't have tricked Chu Xiaofeng into going to the Tangyao Valley.
"Look at what you always said, how can I have the ability to summon you, it's not what Mr. Li meant." Huang Gai smiled, opened the curtain, and cautiously walked towards Long Shijie's tent, his task was to protect Long Shijie's safety.
"To be able to let Li Shenxian treat him like this, this kid's identity is definitely not simple, he will not be a "poison doctor" and stood up suddenly, he was startled by the thoughts in his mind, and he was full of excitement. Then he looked left and right like a thief, and made sure that he was the only one in the whole big tent, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief.
After the snow, the sky and the earth are covered with snow, and the cold wind roars. Chu Xiaofeng drove the carriage forward quickly, leaving two deep rut marks. He now has to race against time, and if he arrives in the Tangyao Valley a moment earlier, Zhang Fei will be able to have more protection.
"Whew!" Just as they were driving over a raised hill, a wolf howl suddenly came, and a white wolf stood on the high slope, staring at the galloping carriage.
"Haha Brother Wolf, you also came to see me off, thank you!" Chu Xiaofeng waved the horsewhip and slapped it hard on the horse's buttocks, and at the same time let out a loud roar, the sound shook thousands of miles, and the momentum was like a rainbow.
"Shhh As the whip fell, the Golden Scale Horse hissed, and its footwork quickened again, like a whirlwind, and disappeared into the distance in an instant. The white wolf stopped on the high slope, fixed looking at the direction in which the carriage had disappeared, and refused to leave for a long time. On its neck, it wore a beautiful jade with a blue body, which was a gift from Chu Xiaofeng to it in order to repay it for saving its life.
All the way, all the way. Chu Xiaofeng's expression was uplifted and full of energy. And Yu Wenlang vomited weakly and panted. He really couldn't make a carriage, and it was okay if he was allowed to ride a horse, but as soon as he got in the carriage, he felt like the world was spinning and uncomfortable.
In the evening, Chu Xiaofeng drove the carriage to a dilapidated town, looked at the signs on the map, and was less than a thousand miles away from the Tangyao Valley. Glancing at Yu Wenlang, who was already purple, Chu Xiaofeng shook his head with a wry smile and decided to rest here for one night. originally planned to let Yu Wenlang be responsible for his own safety, but now looking at his appearance, let alone protecting himself, he doesn't even have the ability to protect himself.
The carriage slowly drove into the town, and the muddy road condensed into a hard lump of ice again as evening approached, making the already bumpy carriage even more difficult. On the tattered stone tablet on the side, three words can be vaguely seen - Wutu Town. And in a dark corner of Wutu Town, a pair of small scarlet eyes appeared at some point, staring at the carriage that drove in.
