Following Qin Huaiyu out of the barracks, Li Su saw the person who came to receive the reward at the gate of the camp, this was a gray-headed old man, who was still carrying a medicine basket at this time, and he was followed by a six-year-old child, hiding behind the old man and looking at the soldiers coming and going with timid eyes, the old man's eyes also contained a trace of uneasiness, and he did not dare to look at Li Su with his eyes.

Li Su is not surprised, in this society where royal power is supreme, the people are afraid of the aristocracy, and when facing the nobility, they are like a sheep standing in front of a lion.

"This old man, please take us there." In the early Tang Dynasty, the old man was generally called Zhangren, and Li Su also exclaimed for this.

The old man nodded, but his expression was a little hesitant, as if he had something to say, Li Su suddenly understood, and said to Qin Huaiyu: "Take ten yuan to give this father-in-law." ”

Ten guan money is the amount of Li Su's reward, Qin Huaiyu trotted back to the camp when he heard this, and after a while, he came over with ten yellow orange and orange copper coins.

The old man seemed to be relieved when he saw these copper coins, and said to Li Su: "Your Highness Xie." ”

"This is what you deserve." Li Su smiled.

Putting the ten copper coins in the medicine basket and covering them with herbs, the old man struggled to carry it and said, "Your Highness, please come with the old man." With that, the old man walked towards the east gate.

Li Su thought that he would have to waste a lot of time when he left, so he asked Qin Huaiyu to call more than 30 horsemen, and let two soldiers, one with the old man and the other with the child, and they followed behind.

According to the old man's words, the group walked out of the east gate of Songzhou City and walked south for about ten miles, and stopped, the old man got off his horse and pointed to the front, "Your Highness, this is the path for the old man to go up the mountain to collect medicine, and you can go up the mountain along this path." ”

Li Su looked in the direction of the old man's finger. In front of him was an almost straight rock wall with a parallel ramp that sloped down from top to bottom, like a staircase clinging to the wall.

Qin Huaiyu dismounted and led the soldiers over first, and when Li Yu walked in front of him, Qin Huaiyu's brows furrowed. said: "It's too dangerous, this rock wall is at least fifty meters high, if you fall down, your life will be gone." ”

Li Su deeply agrees, this natural passage is not only smooth, but also very narrow, only 30 centimeters wide. Moreover, the angle between the rocky slope and the ground is almost 70 degrees, and ordinary people do not dare to try to climb up at all, "it is narrow, steep and slippery." Li Su concluded.

Hearing the discussion between the two, the old man was a little nervous and said, "Your Highness, you can go up this trail." Every time I go up the mountain to collect medicine, I go up from this trail, there must be no problem, and I will climb up to show His Highness. ”

The old man's words made Li Su's mind flash, the old man must have practiced a set of climbing skills when he went up the mountain to collect medicine for many years, for him to go up the mountain is like walking on the ground, but it is very difficult for these soldiers, since this is why not let the old man pull a rope up. Tie a few to the trees on the hill and find a place below the ramp to fix them so that the soldier can go up the rope without fear of falling.

Thinking like this, Li Su said his thoughts, Qin Huaiyu nodded in agreement, beat the soldiers back to the barracks to get the ropes, and the old man was also relieved, lest this group of wolf-like soldiers would treat him as a liar.

The soldiers soon returned, bringing with them seven or eight thick pieces of twine. According to Li Su's method, the old man climbed to the top of the mountain with a hemp rope, and then threw the hemp rope on an old tree on the edge of the cliff, and then came down and threw other hemp ropes on different trees, while Li Su and Qin Huaiyu fixed the other end to a boulder at the bottom of the mountain. Now it's finally a way to change the sky.

The old man's task was completed and he left happily with ten copper coins on his back, while Li Su and Qin Huaiyu climbed to the top of the mountain along the rope.

On the top of the mountain, Li Su finally understood what the mountain was high and dense, even at noon, the mountain forest was gloomy, and there was a smell of rotten plants everywhere.

Thirty soldiers took out the crossbow, pulled the crossbow string and put the crossbow arrows on it, this kind of crossbow is most suitable for close-range encounters, that is, the current special forces are often used when performing tasks, it is definitely a killing silent, Li Su and Qin Huaiyu are also holding a crossbow alone, they are going to explore where this Tuyuhun siege equipment is made.

Following the path of the old man going up the mountain to collect medicine, more than 30 people groped their way to the north, and Li Su was cautious all the way, walking on thin ice, because their group not only had to beware of the uneven mountain road under their feet, but also had to guard against poisonous snakes that came out of the grass from time to time, and on this mountain there were more monkeys jumping around in the mountains and forests, and this kind of monkey was still a golden snub-nosed monkey that was very cherished now.

After walking for more than ten miles in a row, Li Su and Qin Huaiyu were a little out of breath, this mountain road is different from flat land, they have to climb high and low from time to time, and it is very difficult to walk, "Rest for ten minutes." Seeing that the soldiers were a little tired, Li Su glanced at his watch and said.

After receiving the order, the soldiers all sat down against the tree, picked up the water bag and drank the water, Qin Huaiyu took a water bag and handed it to Li Su, "It's almost time to arrive, when I came, I only walked about ten miles south." ”

"We walked diagonally, of course the road is longer, but at most there are still a few miles to see the camp of Tuyuhun." Li Su said with a sip of saliva.

As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier suddenly said "oops", it turned out to be a golden monkey holding a green fruit and threw it down, and hit him in the head impartially, because of the heat, the soldier took off his helmet, this time it was not light, he gritted his teeth in pain, and the soldiers around him laughed.

There are more than 30 monkeys in this group, and they have been following Li Su and his party for two or three miles, and they have been persevering, perhaps attracted by the silver armor on the soldiers, but they just refused to leave.

Li Su glanced at the fruit that had been thinned, and suddenly felt a little familiar, it was actually kiwifruit.

The soldier was very angry holding the smashed place, and he picked up the crossbow and was about to kill the golden monkey that was laughing with his teeth, Li Su immediately stopped, monkeys are animals that can hold grudges, and now they will soon arrive at the camp of Tuyuhun, and it is not fun to be entangled by this group of monkeys.

"Just use a stone to drive them away." Li Su said to the soldiers.

When the soldiers heard Li Su's order, they picked up stones on the ground and threw them at the monkeys in the trees, who immediately fled with screams.

After resting for a while, the group continued to move forward, as Li Su expected, and after a while, they saw the Tuyuhun camp from the mountain peak, on the hundred-meter-high peak, the entire Tuyuhun camp was in Li Su's field of vision, at this time he picked up the telescope and observed, and soon found the Tuyuhun soldiers who were making siege weapons at the foot of the mountain.

Li Su handed over the telescope to Qin Huaiyu and pointed him in the direction, his task this time was to find the location of the Tuyuhun siege equipment, and now it was finally completed.

Determined the direction of the Tuyuhun siege equipment, Qin Huaiyu took people down the mountain to observe the specific location closely, and at the same time set up markers along the road, in case he brought the army back tomorrow, while Li Su stayed on the mountain to record the distribution of the Tuyuhun army more specifically, completed their respective tasks, and the group returned the same way and returned to the Songzhou camp in the evening.

Knowing that Li Su personally went to explore the Tuyuhun camp, everyone sweated for Li Su, "Your Highness, you are too reckless to do this, just let Qin Huaiyu go, in case you have a mistake, what should this Chengdu Mansion do?" Niu Jinda couldn't help but say.

Li Su knew that there was no need for him to follow, but he also did this to establish his own image in the army, although he has always instilled in the army the idea that the army should be loyal to the palace, and he himself also took the post of general, but it is also necessary to leave a good reputation among the grassroots soldiers.

Li Su said that they could only laugh and say that they would pay attention to this in the future, and then he and a few people began to discuss the next battle.

"Tomorrow we will set up an infantry phalanx at the gate of the city, pretending to be a decisive battle with Tuyuhun, then Murong Fuyun will definitely rely on the number of generals, as well as the advantage of cavalry to impact the infantry phalanx, and then use the trenches to eliminate a part of the Tuyuhun soldiers, that night the infantry archers went up the mountain from the path, taking advantage of the night to attack the Tuyuhun camp, General Niu after seeing the signal, led 3,000 cavalry from the main gate to attack the Tuyuhun camp, a battle is decided." After Li Su discussed, Li Su made a decision.

Several people learned the specific situation of the Tuyuhun camp from Li Su's mouth, in the Tuyuhun camp, the soldiers were stationed in the front, and the Tuyuhun people were in the rear, and there was an obvious interval in the middle, which was convenient for the Songzhou army to focus on attacking, and the north side of the camp near the mountain forest was the siege equipment being built.

Generally speaking, Tuyuhun's camp is distributed in the middle of a ravine about 1,500 meters wide in a rectangle, originally Li Yu also planned to take a delay method to burn the siege weapons first, but Qin Huaiyu went down to explore the way, now the dense forest on this side of the mountain is very suitable for the infantry to hide, and the slope of the mountain is not steep, very suitable for ambush soldiers to raid, under the opportunity to respond, Li Su and the generals discussed, decided to fight with Tuyuhun tomorrow.

"Zhu Youzhi, Qin Huaiyu, Xue Rengui, tomorrow you will lead the musketeers, infantry, and archers to ambush on the south side of the Tuyuhun camp from the hill, and attack on time at twelve o'clock at night." Li Su began to assign tasks.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Zhu Youzhi, Qin Huaiyu, and Xue Rengui respectively took the tiger-shaped talisman and replied, Li Su also adopted the talisman system for the army of Chengdu Prefecture, without the talisman of the palace, the generals could not mobilize the soldiers privately, and in the education of the soldiers, a system was also instilled into the soldiers.

Li Su handed over another talisman to Niu Jinda, "General Niu, the task of pursuing the remnants of Tuyuhun will be entrusted to you." ”

"Your Highness, rest assured!" Niu Jinda said excitedly, he belongs to the people who will have itchy hands if he doesn't fight for a day, and now there is finally a fight.

After assigning the task, Li Su raised his wrist and said, "Proofread the time." ”

When Zhu Youzhi, Qin Huaiyu, and Xue Rengui were in Yizhou, Li Yu gave each of them a watch, and now they all raised their wrists to proofread together, which made Niu Jinda dumbfounded again.
