Chapter 460: High-fives and oaths

The big dog took a few flying fish robes out of the river for a day and a night, and only came back the next day. Originally, one of the things that was announced after Mou Liangbi took the throne was to withdraw the army, and the army was already ready to return to the cottage, but Fang Jie's worries were postponed for another day. Sun Kaidao thought that if Li Xiaozong wanted to kill Mou Liangbi, he could only borrow the knife of the rebels, and Jiazigou was the most suitable place for ambush, the road was narrow and there was a large arc, the team in front turned over, and the team behind could not see it at all.

If the rebels will be ambushed here, once Mou Liangbi is ambushed, let alone Li Xiaozong will not support in time, even if he will, it will be difficult to rescue.

"We don't need to go to Jiaozigou, although it is far away to go around the road, but the rebels will fight on the bright surface unless Chen Bing intercepts it. Jiazigou will save at least ten days' journey, but in case there is an ambush, we will not be able to deal with it. That terrain...... The team can't be used at all, it is like a line open, and the end and end cannot be taken care of, and it is difficult to support once it is attacked. The road at the entrance of Jiazigou is narrow, and although it is slightly wider, the gourd-like terrain is the most dangerous, and once it is blocked by the rebels, it can only be slaughtered. ”

Cui Zhongzhen pointed to the map and said, "According to me, I'd rather not have this credit than go from the clamp ditch." ”

Mou Liangbi nodded: "This terrain is indeed too dangerous. ”

He glanced at Fang Xie and said, "Although the dirt mountains on both sides of Jiazi Gully are not high, and the slope is not too steep, if the rebels are condescending, just putting down the feather arrows is enough to make our people suffer heavy losses." General Fang, I know that your people are well-trained, but this battle can be avoided, so try not to fight. There is no problem with our grain and grass to last for more than ten days, even if we take a detour back to the cottage, we will be rich. ”

Fang Xie nodded, glanced at the big dog and said, "Tell Master Mou about what you heard." ”

The big dog answered, cleared his throat and said, "I quietly touched over with a few flying fish robes, and I did find traces of the rebels in Jiazigou. However, I can't see how many troops there are, the forest on the hillside is very dense, and my people don't dare to get too close. It is certain that there must have been an ambush for the rebels in Jiazigou. ”

Fang Xie pointed at Sun Kai and said, "Mr. Sun speculated before that if Li Xiaozong wants to absolutely control the team, he will definitely want to kill you. He first prepared to let General Cui lead a battalion of men and horses to attack the rebels, and he should have been in contact with Meng Wansui's side, and in this battle, General Cui must be killed. However, because of Li Xiaozong's defeat and General Cui's failure to fight this battle, Meng Wansui must have been alert. ”

"Even if we control most of Li Xiaozong's cronies, there is no news of Li Xiaozong's murder. Since Meng Wansui's weight under Li Yuanshan's command is heavier than Yin Poshan's, it means that this person is not an ordinary person. Since this is the case, then he must think, is the ambush of Jiazigou still necessary? ”

After Fang Xie said this, Cui Zhongzhen and Mou Liangbi were stunned for a moment, and the other Sui army generals did the same, and they all turned their eyes to Fang Jie.

Li Xiaozong first arranged for General Cui to lead his troops to attack the rebel Xida Camp and take the opportunity to get rid of General Cui. Then let Master Mou withdraw from the clamp ditch with the logistics baggage, and take the opportunity to kill Master Mou again. Let's just think that Li Xiaozong arranged it like this......"

Fang Xie glanced at everyone: "Then, the day before yesterday, General Cui should have led troops to attack the rebel camp, but General Cui didn't go." Meng Wansui waited for a day, and if he didn't wait, he would definitely send someone to contact Li Xiaozong to inquire. Li Xiaozong had a cronie named Liu Shilang next to him, and when he searched for Li Xiaozong, he did not find him, and asked the soldiers on duty in the camp, who had left the camp the day before, and Liu Shilang said to the soldiers on duty that he had gone out of the camp to investigate the enemy situation on Li Xiaozong's orders. This Liu Shilang has never come back......"

"If Li Xiaozong sent this Liu Shilang to contact Meng Wansui, then Meng Wansui would definitely send him back to inquire. Liu Shilang has not appeared, so there is only one possibility...... The rebels already knew about Li Xiaozong's killing. I have a lot of good men in the Ouchi Guards, and they are the best at investigating cases. I asked them to check carefully, and Li Xiaozong's personal soldiers really did not ambush all of them. ”

"When I was fighting with Li Xiaozong, maybe some people felt that the situation was not good and fled."

Fang Xie concluded: "So, when Meng Wansui already knew that Li Xiaozong was dead, what was he still setting up an ambush in Jiazigou for? ”

"For what?"

Cui Zhongzhen muttered and repeated, looking at Fang Xie and waiting for an answer.

"Actually, it's not hard to guess what happened next when I think of this."

Fang Xie smiled.

He stood up and said: "Li Xiaozong, under the banner of avenging the prince, has been fighting with the rebels here for more than a month, and the rebels have been defeated in successive battles, although the loss of manpower is not too much, but Meng Wansui must also be distressed. Therefore, he will never watch us go back. When Li Xiaozong was there, he colluded with Li Xiaozong, and this time the revenge of the army was simply a play, and it was played for you to see. But now that Li Xiaozong is dead, how can Meng Wansui still allow us to go calmly? ”

"This battle is inevitable."

Mou Liangbi frowned and said: "There is that Liu Shilang in Meng Wansui's army, even if he knows our team well, it is not much worse. Knowing himself and knowing his opponent, Meng Wansui still has hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, and it would be strange if he let us go back. ”

All the people in the big tent frowned, and their faces were a little heavy.

……

……

"Jiazigou is long and narrow from north to south, and it is a canyon of Houwu Mountain. But because this mountain is relatively gentle, it is called Jiazigou by the locals. Hou Wu Mountain and Wolf Milk Mountain are in an east-west direction and a north-south direction, and they are not connected. ”

Returning to his military tent, Fang Xie pointed to the map and said to his subordinates: "If you don't go to Jiazigou, you will have to bypass half of Hou Wu Mountain and walk for ten more days." ”

Chen Yishan looked at the map: "If the news from Mr. Shang is correct, it seems that Meng Wansui does not intend to give up control of Jiazigou." Now that I think about it, the Sui army came over unharmed from Jiazigou because of the collusion between Meng Wansui and Li Xiaozong. At first, I didn't understand that with such a dangerous terrain, when the Sui army first came, why didn't Meng Wansui take advantage of it? ”

"Li Xiaozong is also Li Yuanshan's person, so Meng Wansui didn't start."

Lu Fenghou said: "But now that Li Xiaozong is dead, there is no reason why Meng Wansui should not start." ”

He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Are we really going to go to the clamp ditch?" ”

"Go"

Fang Xie nodded: "I have already discussed with General Cui, Master Mou, and the team will march separately." Let's go to the clamp ditch for the suspicious soldiers, and the team will go back by the road. Of course, we don't have to go through the clamp ditch, just make a sign to go through the clip ditch to confuse the rebels. ”

Zhuo Buyi hesitated: "What if...... If the rebels know that we are just suspicious soldiers, and the brigade has already taken the avenue to detour and leave, then what we have to face is the rebels' crazy revenge. If I were Meng Wansui, I would never let go of these 5,000 people after being deceived. With the strength of hundreds of thousands of rebels, swallow up our 5,000 men...... Easy. ”

"It's too dangerous."

Sun Kaidao glanced at everyone: "But if you can trust me, I guarantee that there will be no problem for us to go to the clamp ditch." ”

"For what?"

Lu Fenghou asked.

Sun Kaidao tightened his leather jacket, sat down next to the stove, and said while fiddling with the fire with chopsticks: "If nothing else, there will be no danger even if we go to the clamp ditch, if you are brave enough, it will be no problem to lead the soldiers to sing and pass through the clamp ditch." ”

"God ...... Babble"

Lu Fenghou glanced at him, he didn't have a good impression of Sun Kaidao, who was born in this county order, although he was a good official, but definitely not a clean official. As soon as he saw Sun Kaidao, he remembered that this guy even dedicated his concubine to Yin Poshan in order to save his life. A man with a direct temperament like Lu Fenghou would rather die than do such a thing. Although Fang Xie has always called Sun Kaidao Mr., Lu Fenghou has never regarded him as a master.

"You said that there is nothing wrong with the clamp ditch, so there is no trouble?"

Lu Fenghou said: "Not to mention that Mr. Shang has heard the news of the rebels clearly, even if he doesn't find that there are rebels in Jiazigou, he can't take it lightly, is it because of your words, everyone has to rush into it?" It's okay if there's nothing wrong, but what if something happens? How much can you afford to take on 5,000 human lives? ”

The big dog squatted on the side and smirked, he didn't bother to pay attention to the wrong way between Lu Fenghou and Sun Kaidao. What is beautiful about him is that after so many years, someone has finally given himself a title seriously. Fang Xie and the others all called him Big Dog, but Fang Jie's subordinates obviously didn't dare to call him so casually, so they called him Mr. Shang. These three words have made the big dog nervous for a few months and still haven't finished it.

Chen Yishan rarely stood on the same front as Lu Fenghou: "The general gives the order, and we will naturally obey it." It's okay to go to the clip ditch, but you have to be prepared. You can't just take someone into it just because someone is okay. When the time comes, if thousands of arrows are fired on the hillside, can someone save everyone if they are okay? ”

Sun Kaidao smiled, as if he didn't care about Lu Fenghou and Chen Yishan's ridicule.

Fang Xie glanced at Sun Kaidao, and saw that he was not angry, and his heart was a little lighter.

"Since Mr. Sun is so determined, I don't think it's as good as this."

Lu Fenghou looked directly into Sun Kaidao's eyes: "Mr. Sun can go first, if Mr. Sun passes through Jiazigou unharmed, it will not be too late for the army to pass." Mr. Sun is like a god, and I can still trust it, so I ...... What does Mr. Sun think? ”

Fang Xie was just about to speak, but Sun Kaidao stood up and said, "Okay! ”

"Just do what General Lu says."

He hugged his fist and said: "If the general can trust the humble position, the humble position is willing to take a thousand men and horses first, and when the humble duty is over, it will not be too late for the army to move." ”

"A thousand?"

Chen Yishan sneered: "That's two percent of the troops, once there is anything missing......

"Five Hundred"

Sun Kaidao glanced at him: "Five hundred people are enough." ”

Lu Fenghou couldn't help laughing: "Five hundred people want to pose as if tens of thousands of troops are going to pass, Mr. Sun doesn't know what to do, can you tell me first?" ”

"You'll know when the time comes."

Sun Kaidao said lightly: "It's just ...... Does this count as a bet? ”

"Count!"

Lu Fenghou said loudly: "Naturally! ”

Sun Kaidao followed and said, "Okay, what if Sun wins?" ”

"I'll lose my head to you!"

Sun Kaidao shook his head and smiled: "It's useless for me to ask General Lu's head, if I really answer my words, the army will pass through the clamp ditch safely, and I will ask General Lu to respect Sun in the future." Since we are all under the general, it is better to be harmonious, otherwise, the general will also be in trouble. ”

Lu Fenghou said: "If you really respond to your words, Lu will be really convinced of you in the future, and obey your words!" ”

"Good!"

Sun Kaidao took a step forward and stretched out his palm: "Would you like to high-five and swear?" ”

"Afraid of you?"

Lu Fenghou stepped forward and high-fived Sun Kaidao, Sun Kaidao looked at Chen Yishan: "What about General Chen?" ”

Chen Yishan snorted coldly, and also stepped forward to high-five Sun Kaidao: "Wait for Mr. Sun's good news!" ”
