Duan Fei finally saw Jiao Xu, he hadn't seen him for more than ten days, he had lost a lot of weight, but his spirit was more condensed, and it seemed that his skills had improved again.

Jiao Xu welcomed Duan Fei into the big tent, Duan Fei swept his eyes and asked, "What about General Shen?" ”

Jiao Xu smiled bitterly: "General Shen has ignored me for three days, my lord, I didn't expect you to come so quickly, I don't know how many people my lord brought?" ”

Duan Fei said: "It's because there are few people, what you saw just now is already half of them, where is General Shen now?" I'm going to talk to him. ”

Jiao Xu said: "General Shen's camp is in the inner side, and he doesn't let others get close, it seems that he is angry with adults." ”

Duan Fei said, "Take me to see him." ”

……

Duan Fei came to Shen Xiyi's camp and said, "Brother Shen, have you slept?" It was the little brother Duan Fei who came. ”

After a while, the sound of dressing sounded in the tent, and Shen Xiyi said, "I didn't expect you to come so quickly, come in quickly." ”

Duan Fei entered the tent, Shen Xiyi stood in the dark, faced Duan Fei with his hands behind his back, and said, "You came so fast, you must have come alone, is it worth taking such a big risk?" If Liuzhou City is captured, Guilin and Wuzhou will not be protected, brother, you are too reckless this time. ”

Duan Fei said: "Big brother, don't worry, I was a little worried at first, but when I saw that there were nearly 50,000 rebels outside the valley, I put my mind at ease, Cen Meng still can't resist the temptation, without these 50,000 elites, Cen Meng can't do it in ten days and a half months to capture Liuzhou, big brother, are you blaming me?" Taurus retreated too quickly......"

Shen Xiyi shook her head and sighed, "Alas...... Is it useful to blame you? I hate myself, I have never been defeated since I led the army, but I didn't expect to be defeated...... Even if Taurus Wei sticks to his position, it is just to increase the casualties of both sides and form a more irresolvable deep hatred, sooner or later it will still be a defeat, really, I did blame you at the beginning, but after thinking about it here for two days behind closed doors, I figured it out, this defeat is all on me, I should accept your opinion at the beginning, while recruiting An Cen Meng, while appeasing Cen Zhang's ......"

Duan Fei smiled bitterly: "Big brother finally figured out what happened to the large number of rebels who suddenly appeared, I also wonder about this matter, according to our analysis, Cen Zhang should be the kind of person who is icing on the cake rather than giving charcoal in the snow, why would he suddenly make a move when Cen Meng is about to finish?" Was this a pre-existing bureau? Big brother, you played extremely smoothly at the beginning, there won't be any fakes in this, right? ”

Shen Xiyi shook his head and said: "It should be true, Cen Meng and his subordinates are not my opponents, Zhao Chen has followed me for many years, and it is impossible to betray, only Cen Zhang can change all this, I am very familiar with Cen Zhang's person, he has a good relationship with Cen Meng, I heard that Cen Meng often beats and scolds his wife, as a father-in-law, Cen Zhang does not like this son-in-law very much, I never thought that Cen Zhang would suddenly come to such a moment when our army was about to win a big victory, it is really hateful." ”

Duan Fei said: "Big brother, now that Gukou is blocked, and I really can't send reinforcements, do you have a way to relieve the siege of Gukou?" ”

Shen Xiyi shook his head and said: "With the firepower of the Taurus Guard, five thousand people can fight on the flat ground and walk enough to deal with thousands of troops and horses, and now they are trapped in the valley of death, the mouth of the valley is filled with boulders, and there are cliffs on both sides, unless there is a master like General Jiao Xu, who can escape?" I don't have much to do......"

Duan Fei found that Shen Xiyi's eyes flickered a little, knowing that he was insincere, it was no wonder, Shen Xiyi said that he didn't blame anyone, there must still be some mustard in his heart, he probably hoped that the whole army of the five thousand Golden Bull Guards would be wiped out here, so that Duan Fei would also taste failure, and after returning to Beijing, someone would help him bear some sins.

Duan Fei nodded and said: "It seems that I can only use it strongly, I will send a master to climb up the valley at night, put the rope down, everyone climbs up, if it is discovered by the rebels, set up a formation on the spot, as long as there are enough people who climb up, I am not afraid of the rebels surrounding it, I have observed a better place to line up, the rebels will not be able to give full play to the advantage of the strength there, what do you think, big brother?" ”

Shen Xiyi said: "This is a good way, but this will inevitably cause a large number of casualties on both sides, which is not conducive to counterinsurgency." ”

Duan Fei was surprised: "Is there still a chance for a peaceful settlement between the two sides now?" ”

Shen Xiyi smiled bitterly: "I don't know either...... At this point, I am afraid that the remaining troops will not be enough to quell the rebellion......"

Shen Xiyi's decadence and loss made Duan Fei feel emotional, he thought about it, and suddenly had an idea, he said: "Big brother, you have a good rest, I'll go and discuss with Jiao Xu, maybe we will leave this death valley early tomorrow morning." ”

Shen Xiyi sighed and was silent, Duan Fei left the tent, beckoned, beckoned the little monkey girl Murong Xiang to the front, and whispered to her, Murong Xiang's eyes widened, a little surprised, but he still nodded.

Duan Fei stuffed something for her, and then went to Jiao Xu to discuss, he carefully considered the situation that Shen Xiyi said, the two sides are at war, can they not die? For the sake of these 5,000 Taurus guards, what about killing more judges?

Having said that, Duan Fei was still thinking in his heart, was there any other better way to not kill too many lives? ……

After Jiao Xu heard Duan Fei's plan, he objected: "My lord, I don't think it's appropriate to be lowly, everyone is short of food and water in the valley, and they are already tired, and it is difficult to climb the cliff by themselves, not to mention that there are so many burdens, if you fall halfway up, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

Duan Fei frowned and said, "Then what else can we do?" ”

Jiao Xu said: "My lord, I think there is only one way out, we will gather the gunpowder, blow up the boulder blocking the valley mouth, and rush out from the valley mouth!" ”

Duan Fei shook his head and said, "Do you know how much gunpowder it takes to blast the boulder?" If we run out of gunpowder and don't explode, or if we make a loud noise after the explosion attracts the rebels to surround us, won't we have to tie our hands down? ”

Jiao Xu said: "Our gunpowder is custom-made, how powerful it is very clear, I went to Taniguchi to see, it doesn't take all the gunpowder to blow up the boulder, and then each soldier has at least five shots of gunpowder in his hand, if one shot, twenty or thirty thousand rebels will be buried in Gukou." ”

Duan Fei thought about it for a while, and finally decided: "Okay, that's it, I saw the terrain just now, if we blow up the valley pass, we can rush to the north side of the mountain pass, once we grab the pass, the rebels can't help us, tell everyone to save bullets, except for rushing through the pass, we are not allowed to fire as a last resort." ”

Jiao Xu nodded and said, "Okay, obey the order, General Shen's side ......"

Duan Fei said: "I'll go and tell him, I won't drag everyone down." ”

Jiao Yang nodded, went out to give the order, Duan Fei also left the big tent of the Chinese army, and walked towards Shen Xiyi's tent, Murong Xiang floated down beside him, Duan Fei asked, "How is General Shen?" ”

Murong Xiang squinted his eyes and said, "General Shen is already asleep, my lord, this thing ......"

Duan Fei said: "You can keep it, maybe it will be useful when it will be used, I will wake up General Shen, it's time to leave this ghost place......"
