Now Guan Hai and Zhang Jing are trapped in Liuquanpo by thieves who are several times their size, and if they run out of food at this moment, even the elite soldiers of a hundred battles will quickly collapse, not to mention that the current Lingling County government soldiers are not elite at all. Wang Xu didn't dare to think about it anymore, and a wave of anger suddenly rose in his heart, this kind of life-and-death matter was not reported until the incident.

But after a moment, he couldn't help but shake his head with a sigh. It's hard to blame anyone on this matter. Liu Xian has just entered politics, even if he has some skills, but he has no experience, he has never been in contact with the military, and he is already good at handling internal affairs, so it is unreasonable to accuse him. I can't imagine that I will only be away for a few days before such a fatal loophole appears. Ay! After all, there are still too few talents, and if there was a public feud earlier and coordinated in the middle, this kind of thing would never have happened.

Thinking of these, Wang Xu's desire for talents has reached the extreme. But now he can't afford to continue to think about it, when he turns around and says, "Yang Feng, are you sure they have run out of food at the moment?" ”

"My lord, I can guarantee this with my head. Although the last general is incompetent, he can be regarded as battle-hardened, and this kind of thing can still be grasped! Yang Feng immediately replied affirmatively.

Hearing this, Wang Xu frowned, and after a while, he slowly asked, "Then do you have a way to rescue?" ”

"This ......" Yang Feng hesitated for a moment, but then shook his head: "No, the terrain of this Liuquan Slope is steep, and the two passages on our side are almost blocked by the thief army, so it is impossible to send grain over." As for the other paths, none of them lead to the Liuquanpo, but there are two roads to the south, but they go around there and go straight to the south. Moreover, the mountain roads are rugged, and it is impossible to get by with the weight of grain and grass. The last official road is in the east, and that road leads to the base camp of the three southeastern counties where the thieves are entrenched, not to mention the danger, and it is too late to detour the past. And with our current strength......"

Although Yang Feng didn't finish speaking, Wang Xu already understood it very well in his heart. Sighing, he couldn't help but shake his head and said: "It is really impossible to detour to the east, not only is there not enough time and troops, but the deep water river is also a big obstacle. So, I mean, do you have a way to quickly annihilate some of the thieves and rescue Guan Hai and Zhang Jing? ”

"It's hard!" As soon as the words came out, Yang Feng shook his head and said: "Actually, I have already thought about it when I was on the road, at present, the west and south sides of Liuquanpo are blocked by thieves, although the other party was hit hard last night, but with our current strength and facilities, it is simply impossible to attack." But it is not easy to lure the enemy into battle. However, Zhou Chao and Guo Shi should not know that Guan Hai and Zhang Jing are already short of food. ”

Hearing this, Wang Xu was silent for a long time, slowly glanced back at the barracks, and couldn't help but walk slowly on the side of the camp. Heavy footsteps stepped on the dead branches and fallen leaves on the ground, and from time to time they let out "Click! Click! ".

And the mountain breeze on the autumn night is not small, grinning and whistling, with the mountains and forests "Huh!" Suck! The ground danced, and the torches of the barracks flickered as if they were extinguished if they were not careful......

Walking quietly on the edge of the camp, feeling the chill of the mountain wind, after a long time, Wang Xu finally calmed down slowly. And Yang Feng followed closely by his side, except for the sound of the armor rubbing on his body, he didn't make any sound, just looked at Wang Xu quietly, slowly guarding him.

I don't know how long it took, but when the soldiers patrolling outside the gate had changed a group of people, Wang Xu suddenly stopped, looked into the distance and took a long breath.

In Yang Feng's puzzled gaze, he turned his head with a smile: "Yang Feng, I have a task to hand over to you, I don't know if you dare or not?" ”

Hearing this, Yang Feng immediately smiled and said: "The lord only gives an order, even if Yang Feng dies, he will never shirk!" ”

"Huh! Needless to say, I heard that you are a master of tomb robbing, I think you should be very good at this! ”

"Huh?" Yang Feng was stunned by Wang Xu's words, and only after a moment did he ask suspiciously, "I don't know what the task is?" ”

Smiling slightly, Wang Xu stopped going around the bend, and immediately looked at Yang Feng and said, "I want you to lurk in the mountains to Liuquanpo now, and bring a letter to Guan Hai and Zhang Jing!" ”

When Yang Feng heard this, he immediately laughed: "Hahaha...... Lord, what's so difficult about this, it's my ability to lurk and hide, and to find and track. Sending a message is no problem! ”

Seeing this, although Wang Xu was also very happy, he couldn't help but admonish: "Yang Feng, don't be too careless." You go alone, over the mountains and mountains, it is not a small difficulty, and you must arrive tomorrow, there is a possibility that you will encounter lurking thieves and spies on the way, remember to be very careful. ”

"Hmmm! Don't worry, my lord, although I am not familiar with this area, it is my forte to distinguish the road in the mountains and forests, and I will not get lost. As for the spies, if you are careful, they won't be able to spot me. Saying that, Yang Feng looked at the sky, and pondered for a moment before continuing: "There may be about four hours before the hour, if it is to be delivered, then I have to leave now." ”

Knowing that time was pressing, Wang Xu was no longer verbose, and when he returned to his main account with Yang Feng, he handed Yang Feng a map in his hand: "This is the most complete map at present, although this map is useless in the mountains and forests, but it can help you identify the general direction." ”

After speaking, seeing that Yang Feng took it very solemnly, he then answered softly: "This time, you must tell Sù Guan Hai and Zhang Jing, let the two of them at the end of tomorrow, be sure to launch an attack on the thief camp west of Liuquanpo, if there are thieves from the south attacking, don't panic, just block it for two to three quarters, I will come to the rescue." As he spoke, seeing Yang Feng nodded, he couldn't help but admonish: "Also, you have to remember that they must make good use of the advantageous terrain to resist, don't rush to break through, and strive to stimulate the soldiers' will to fight to the death." ”

"No! The end will not be dishonored! Yang Feng immediately nodded firmly.

"Good! This information is crucial, and it is vital to the survival of my entire army, so remember to be cautious! ”

"The last general understands!"

"Then there you go! Stay safe. After explaining, Wang Xu didn't say more, and couldn't help but sigh as Yang Feng left as ordered. This plan is really dangerous, if Yang Feng fails to send the information over, the army will not be able to advance and retreat, and it will completely fall into passivity.

Because he couldn't think of any way to rescue Guan Hai and Zhang Jing at all, he could only make dangerous moves like this in the end, focusing on breaking the enemy.

This plan was to use Guan Hai and Zhang Jing as bait to attract the thieves from the south to attack. And he rushed forward with his soldiers, abandoning a piece of grain and grass, detouring from the path to the south, taking advantage of the emptiness of the thief's camp, he killed it from its rear in one fell swoop, and captured the camp and broke the enemy. And the danger is that if Yang Feng fails to get the information on, then he will trap the lone army in the south, and when the thief will come back to his senses and find that the big camp here is empty, he will inevitably take it in one fell swoop, and then the entire retreat will be intercepted, and he will lose his grain and grass baggage, and he will lose his skin if he does not die!

But Wang Xu was also forced to have no choice, and if the stalemate continued, he could only watch Guan Hai and Zhang Jing be in chaos because of the lack of food. When he loses the more than 1,500 people, then the entire battle situation will fall into passivity, and he will not be able to watch Guan Hai and Zhang Jing die in battle.

However, since the decision has been made, Wang Xu will not hesitate any longer, carefully study the details of tomorrow's operation, and then call out all the generals and above the generals, and explain his plan of action and disposition. But in order not to worry the generals, he did not give the reason for the implementation of this plan.

Moreover, without giving the generals any chance to build yì, they preemptively issued the order. Let Wang Fei stay in the camp with 500 cavalry, set up more banners, and take the soldiers to take turns to wander around the camp to confuse the enemy. The rest of the men sneaked out of the rear of the camp overnight and traveled lightly, making a detour south from the mountain road to the west. Although all the generals felt that this plan was a bit dangerous, the military order had been issued, and they did not dare to slack off, and immediately set off with the whole army.

Wang Xu personally took the first batch of troops to set off first, the purpose of which was to go over to explore the road first and find a suitable hiding point. Because of the generals above the military marquis, there is no one who can completely rest assured of him, and there is only one military Sima Song Qian, who is still a fledgling and has little experience.

However, the plan was unexpected, because the camp was far away from the bandits, so the enemy could not conduct a close investigation. Moreover, Wang Fei had done this kind of thing many times when he was crusading against the Yellow Turban, so the camouflage was very good, at least the crappy spies of the group of thieves did not find anything abnormal. Behind them, the soldiers quickly went around to the distance under the cover of the mountains and forests, and although the mountain road to the west was rugged and difficult, they were finally able to pass through Guò safely.

At midnight the next morning, all the scattered soldiers had converged on a valley southwest of Liuquanpo, only a few miles away from the large camp south of the thieves.

After sending a few elite sentries to investigate the situation, seeing that the hour was still early, Wang Xu also calmly let everyone rest on the spot, and ate the dry food he carried with him, so as to prepare for the next big battle. But in fact, at this moment, he was extremely worried, and he had no bottom about whether Yang Feng could pass the order on time. If there is no news at the scheduled time, we must withdraw our troops as soon as possible and rush back to the camp.

This also made Wang Xu unable to eat anything, chewed two mouthfuls of dry cakes, and when he was irritable, he directly put it back on the lanyard of the saddle. Stand up and stare in the direction of the thief camp from afar!

Song Qian has been with Wang Xu for two and a half years, and he is naturally very clear about him, and he has long seen from Wang Xu's actions that the current situation is very strange. But he didn't ask, just quietly nibbled on the dry cake, guessing what happened to Guan Hai and Zhang Jing.

As time passed, the whole valley fell silent, and the soldiers knew that the battle was imminent, and after eating the bread, they all lay on the ground to drink, which was regarded as a preserved body, and from time to time there was a slight snoring sound.

But Wang Xu became more and more anxious, looking at the slowly rising sun, feeling the gradually blazing sun, and his palms were full of sweat.

"My lord! It's almost time to withdraw. Just when Wang Xu couldn't help it, Song Qian walked over quietly.

"Huh? How do you know I want to withdraw? Wang Xu suddenly looked over in surprise.

Seeing this, Song Qian couldn't help but smile slightly: "Lord, don't I know you yet?" There should be something wrong with Guan Hai and Zhang Jing this time, otherwise you wouldn't be in such a hurry! It seems like the hour has passed! ”

Hearing this, Wang Xu couldn't help but sigh, since Song Qian had already guessed it, he couldn't hide it anymore, and immediately said, "Yes!" They ran out of food yesterday, so that's why I took the risk today! ”

"Oh!" Song Qian was not surprised at all, and nodded very calmly.

"Wait another two quarters of an hour, and if there's no movement after two quarters of an hour, then withdraw!" Wang Xu almost gritted his teeth and said this, what it meant, he and Song Qian both knew in their hearts.

However, it didn't take that long. It was only a few minutes later, a sentry came out of the bushes, and before he could even catch his breath, he had already said urgently: "General...... Checkmate! The thief army is out of ...... It's time to go! Just a quarter of an hour ago, I rushed ...... When I rushed back here, I guess it was ...... We've gone a long way, and we can faintly hear shouts of killing in front of us! ”

Although the sentry horse was panting and did not say anything, Wang Xu was suddenly overjoyed, suddenly pulled out the fire dragon spear inserted in the ground, and rushed to the war horse hidden under the slope, and shouted in his mouth: "Song Qian, gather the army and prepare to go!" ”

"No!" Song Qian didn't dare to slack off, and immediately turned around and ran to the soldiers lying on the ground behind.

With the order, the soldiers also woke up one after another, calling each other and soon stood up and lined up. Seeing this, Wang Xu glanced at it majestically, and deliberately said loudly: "Everyone, our ambush plan has been successful, rush over with me and sneak attack the enemy camp." ”

As soon as these words came out, the sergeant was immediately overjoyed and his morale skyrocketed. After all, any warrior who hears that it is an ambush will be happy, because it means that it will be easy to win.

With the completion of the assembly, Wang Xu no longer hesitated, and as soon as the fire dragon spear was raised, he shouted loudly: "Rush!" Take the camp of the thief army with me, and the ten soldiers who attack first will each be rewarded with a pound of gold, and the marquis and his generals will not count it. ”

"Kill!" As soon as these words came out, the soldiers' spirits were suddenly shaken, and they rushed out of the valley with Wang Xu......
