"Hou Aiqing, Liu Yuan specially sent someone to send a message to me, it can be seen that he is very confident in this operation, in your opinion, what will he do?" Li Er asked curiously.

"Shigou Ridge is easy to defend and difficult to attack, one husband is the pass, ten thousand people are not open, today Liu Yuanbing is dangerous, let General Cheng toss for a day, according to common sense, he is deliberately depleting the strength of the Cheng Department, and then attack it unprepared, but think about it carefully, this method is not feasible, although General Cheng Lao said that the attack is weak, but the defense is not leaky, according to the mountain, relying on the natural danger, the advantage of the location, the layers of settings, interlocking, an unknown Shigou Ridge let him operate like an iron wall, and the hundreds of soldiers who stayed in the defense have not been dispatched, The guards have not been relaxed, and it is difficult to bargain. ”

"The best way is to have an internal ghost, the inside should be combined with the outside, and the prestige army is a family, if you do this kind of thing, it is really shameful." Hou Junji shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers are stupid, and I really can't think of any way Liu Yuan will use to capture Shigou Ridge." ”

Li Er nodded: "I thought that he would always use the method of the first day to gradually eat away at the opponent's troops, as he said, accumulating small victories into big victories, but today he is unusual, completely avoiding Chengbu's troops, and now he still says that the victory or defeat is tonight, to be honest, I can't see through it." ”

"Your Majesty, since we can't guess, it's better to wait for him to make a move."

"Hehe, now it seems that this is the only way."

Hou Junji suddenly said a little depressed: "This stinky boy, he doesn't say when he will act, it's just the hour, there are still a few hours before dawn, he wants the emperor to wait here with a word, it's really daring." ”

Liu Yuan sent someone to pass the word, only saying that the winner would be decided tonight. didn't say what method was used, nor did he say when he started acting, Hou Junji felt a little depressed.

Li Erha smiled, waved his hand and said: "It's okay, it's okay, the night is long, we can play chess and taste wine at the same time, and let the guards watch from the sidelines, I don't know if Hou Aiqing's chess skills have improved recently?" ”

"Hehe, have you been diligent. The emperor will know it as soon as he tries it. Hou Junji said happily.

Being able to raise a glass with Li Er and play chess while chatting is a rare opportunity, why doesn't Hou Junji want to?

So, neither of them slept. On a delicate table, drinking and playing chess. It's not hard to pass the time

Three quarters before the hour. The people who sent out to clear the dark piles came back one after another, but the harvest was Liao: Guan Yong and the two fire people of the waiting army caught one together, the team of wild wolves caught three, and the others were empty-handed, nothing, after all. The dark night has become the best cover, and more than a dozen people are scattered within a radius of twenty miles, and finding someone is like a needle in the sea.

The difference in strength is clear at a glance.

Look at their dejected faces. Liu Yuan smiled and asked, "Yes, there is another one, Captain Guan, tell me, how did you dig this hidden pile?" ”

Guan Yong smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "That's not dug up, but scammed." ”

"Oh, how? Let's talk about it. Liu Yuan suddenly became interested.

"At the beginning, I was looking for it, I looked for nearly an hour, I didn't gain anything, I didn't have much time, Lin Hai was vast, I wanted to give up, I accidentally met the kid of Hou Jun, he didn't find anything, the two of us combined, decided to cheat people out, that is, I took people to search one place after another, Hou Jun secretly followed behind, when I searched, I deliberately told my subordinates that the mountain would be burned with fire in the middle of the night, and that the oil and sulfur and other things were ready, and then left, if there were people from the Cheng Department in that place, I would definitely be in a hurry to go back and report, As soon as he waited for me to leave, he automatically appeared, and was caught by the waiting army in the dark, but he didn't expect the effect to be good, and after turning for more than half an hour, his mouth was dry, and he finally caught one. ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, this is really a trick on people, it is estimated that they met a scout who is not very old, Wei Chi Baoqing, Qin Huaiyu and others secretly shouted that it was a pity, complaining about why they didn't expect Yunyun, and then congratulated them together on their meritorious service.

Liu Yuan nodded secretly, to be honest, in his own planning, in fact, the east, south, and north are not important, and he also set up an ambush on the road, so he gave them a chance to exercise, but he didn't expect to really gain something, although this method is a little stupid, but it is still successful, this success reflects his persistence and hard work, as well as flexibility and fickleness.

Not bad.

"Well, yes, that's what Ben will say, there is more than one way to success, sometimes you have to deal with it flexibly, the performance of Captain Guan and Captain Waiting is very good, you should take credit" Liu Yuan was quite satisfied with their performance, and did not hesitate to praise them.

"General Xie"

"General Xie" Guan Yong and Hou Jun hurriedly saluted Liu Yuan to express their gratitude, although they were tired all night, but their faces were full of pride and pride.

Liu Yuanyang raised his hand, motioned for everyone to stop, and said with a smile: "In the four directions of the southeast, northwest, and then the number of people in the upper Cheng department, it is estimated that there are three people left in each direction, and the big brother of the wild wolf will dig up all the dark piles in the west, it is better to listen to how he did it in such a short time." ”

Everyone suddenly turned their eyes to this powerful private guard, and their eyes were full of worship.

The wild wolf did not hide his selfishness, and said his experience: "It's very simple, a person left by the Cheng Department to do a dark pile, nine times out of ten is a professional scout, and the professional scout, in the hidden and the selection of the location is very particular, usually choose a place with high concealment and a wide field of vision, as long as you find and screen out these suitable places for concealment, search one by one, although the place is large, but there are not many such places, and there is always a harvest in the past one by one." ”

"By the way, you have to carefully observe or smell the strangeness in the air, the long night is long, it is very difficult, many scouts in order to prevent themselves from accidentally falling asleep or passing the loneliness, will bring more food, such as wine, steamed buns, etc., one can satisfy hunger, and the other can also refresh oneself to prevent oneself from sleeping, these things leave a fragrance in the air, pay attention to a little will have a harvest, just like the three people I brought back, one of them was lifted out by me when I drank to refresh myself."

This is the profession, this is the master, everyone was greatly impressed when they heard the words, it seems that success depends on strength, and luck is really not a score.

"General, you gathered us here, are we hiding here tomorrow?" Yu Chi Baoqing asked curiously.

As soon as Wei Chi Baoqing's words came out, everyone turned their eyes to Liu Yuan, after all, Liu Yuan's actions tonight were too strange, and his tone was too arrogant, even such a major matter as cleaning up the dark pile also made him say that it was like a game, and everyone felt that there might be a big move tonight.

"No" Liu Yuan denied it, and then said mysteriously: "Soon you will know the truth." ”

Liu Yuan didn't say anything, and everyone had no choice, and after the end, Liu Yuan gave a strange order: each person broke two large bundles of branches with leaves, and Guan Yong, Hou Jun, Tang Dashan and others who "dug out" the hidden pile could be exempted from this errand, and were ordered to go to a corner covered with hay on the side to eat and take a good rest, and there would be important tasks for a while.

All of a sudden, everyone started to get busy.

Flying to the peak, Li Er and Hou Junji were drinking wine while playing Go, and they were playing in a hearty game, when suddenly a guard came in to report: There was an abnormality in the Liu Department of the Yangwei Army.

Li Er and Hou Junji looked at each other, and then smiled at each other: This kid has finally started to act.

"Hou Aiqing, even if this one is peaceful, in the future, we will have the opportunity to play chess and taste wine, so it is better to look at what kind of medicine is sold in Liu Yuan's stinky boy's gourd." Li Er said with a smile.

Hou Junji put down the sunspot in his hand and said respectfully: "The minister obeys the order"

After speaking, Hou Junji also smiled and said: "Liu Yuan's tone is so big, and the minister also wants to know what Lu Dao will do, if he wants to win the handsome flag from the heavily guarded stone dog banner, hehe, I think, with his little strength, unless they can fly." ”

Soon, Li Er and Hou Junji saw how Liu's people "flew": they saw that Liu's soldiers first spread layers of branches on the ground, and some people pulled up layers of nets, and then the two of them were surprised to see that several soldiers with ropes were slowly climbing up.

It turned out that Liu Yuan's so-called idea was to raid, climb directly from the cliff, and the thick branches and leaves on the ground and the nets that were erected were specially used to prevent someone from falling down.

Oh my God, this is a bold, appalling and crazy idea, the cliff is more than a hundred feet high, although there is some dim moon and starlight, you can barely see the road, but in the dark night, or the dark night of the mountain wind, climbing the cliff more than a hundred feet with your bare hands, it is simply playing with your life!

Li Er said in surprise: "No wonder Liu Yuan deliberately gave up his geographical advantages, let the Demon King of the Mixed World rob this Shigou Ridge, and only took 800 people to the expedition, it seems that he made up his mind at the beginning, this scheming is amazing." ”

"Yes, he chose to go offensive on the first day, and everyone thought that he was using cannibalization to consume the opponent's strength, but in fact, it was to paralyze the opponent, and then a series of provocations and other actions confused the people of Cheng Bu, and finally took advantage of his unpreparedness to take down the handsome flag in one fell swoop. Knock down all the enemies, and then take away the handsome flag in a grand manner, that is the practice of ordinary people, and it is also the most costly practice, but in Liu Yuan's eyes, as long as he gets the handsome flag, he doesn't have to pay attention to anything else, if so, he doesn't need eight hundred people, it is estimated that dozens of people are enough, and now pull eight hundred people"

Hou Junji gasped and said, "It's possible, he regarded this time as a military training and brought General Cheng to practice." ”

As soon as the words were finished, both of them were in a daze: practicing with a generation of famous generals, this is too good.

"Hey, Hou Aiqing, you see, there seems to be something special on the body of the person who climbed." Li Er, who was holding clairvoyance, shouted loudly as if he had discovered a new continent. (To be continued......)
