Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Songfengkou is located more than 100 miles southeast of Xiangyang City, and is the only place for Pegasus Ranch to lead to Xiangyang. To the north of it is a hill with a gentle slope, and to the south is a dense and luxuriant black pine forest, about a mile long and only more than ten steps wide, between the pine wind mouth, the terrain is extremely dangerous.

Kang Ming, the confidant of Fu Gongyou, the second person in the Jianghuai Army, carefully hid his figure in the half-human-high artemisia grass on the hillside north of Songfengkou, carefully observing the movement below.

"Big brother, here's the idea!" A man beside Kang Ming who had an ugly centipede-like scar on his left cheek exclaimed excitedly.

"Shut up, I have eyes to see!" Kang Ming's face sank, and he reprimanded in a low voice, "Also, how many times have I taught you, now is not the time when Zhanshan is the king, we are already famous generals in the Jianghuai army, and we usually take out some of the spirit of a master, and put away the green forest accent full of mouths!" ”

Although the man was reprimanded by him, he was not annoyed, he just touched his head and smiled, and asked again, "Big brother...... Oh, General, how are we going to clean up that flock of fat sheep in Pegasus Ranch later? ”

A thin man with a gloomy face on the other side of Kang Ming spoke: "General, look at the dozens of carts in their team, which must be full of grain, grass and equipment used to rescue Jingling. When we came, the general instructed us to prepare a lot of rockets, fire, oil and other materials, and we must have made up our minds. As soon as the enemy enters the narrow passage below, we will attack him with fire and burn him clean, which can also be used to disrupt the enemy's position. ”

Kang Ming glanced at this man, a slight displeasure flashed in his eyes, although this person is usually very respectful to himself, but he can see his hidden ambition and not inferior to his own intelligence and martial arts with a pair of eyes that have been cultivated in the green forest road for more than ten years, therefore, he has been on guard against this person in the past few years and suppressed it with various obscure means, when it comes to employing people, it is more credible to be the scar-faced man who was under his own hand when he was in the cottage.

"Is it too much of a pity to burn?" The scar-faced man objected. "The life of our Jianghuai army is very tight, and there has always been a shortage of food, grass and equipment. It would be better to hijack these vehicles with some effort so that the brothers could have a decent weapon or a good meal. ”

The Yin Owl man sneered disdainfully, turned to Kang Ming and said, "General, Pegasus Ranch has been established for a hundred years. The courage and skill of the Ranch warriors are well known to the world, and if we fight hard, although we can win with the advantage of the ambush and the strength of our troops, we will definitely win a crushing victory. A little baggage is not worth the cost of the lives of the brothers! ”

The scar-faced man's face changed. He was rude, but he was not without scheming, and when he heard the thorns in the other party's words, he said angrily: "Chu Wance, what do you mean by this?" Am I scarring Liu to spare the lives of my brothers? ”

Chu Wance didn't argue with him, just looked at Kang Ming, waiting for him to make a decision.

Kang Ming looked at Chu Rice for a while, a sneer suddenly appeared on his face, and said, "Although Brother Chu is very good at thinking. But there are still things that cannot be considered. If, according to what you say, it is okay to defeat the enemy, if you want to completely annihilate the enemy, you are not able to catch it. ”

Chu Wance's face froze, but then a meaningful smile appeared. He asked rhetorically: "Since the general said so, he already has a perfect plan to gather and annihilate the enemy army in one go?" ”

"If I can't come up with your so-called 'perfect plan', I'm afraid that others will think that Lao Tzu is a head below you." Kang Ming scolded secretly in his heart, but his face was calm. Looking at the black pine forest on the other side of the road under the hill, he said: "Wan Ce, imagine if the people and horses of Pegasus Ranch go to the narrow road below. We are suddenly difficult, the whole army is crushed from top to bottom, how will the other party react? ”

Chu Wan pondered and said, "The road below is narrow, and it is extremely inconvenient to line up to resist the enemy or advance or retreat. According to the humble opinion of their subordinates, they should retreat to the pine forest on the opposite side, borrowing the forest trees to block our pursuit...... I understand! "He's a smart man, and he guessed Cumming's plan only halfway through his words.

Kang Ming smiled a little proudly: "I will tell you one more thing, General Ben ordered people to secretly spread a lot of sulfur, fire oil and other fire-causing things in the pine forest early in the morning. As soon as the opponent retreats into the pine forest, the flames will immediately rise into the air and turn it into charcoal. Moreover, those vehicles cannot enter the pine forest, and when the enemy is destroyed, we can easily take them. ”

"Big brother is smart!" Scar Liu's eyebrows fluttered when he heard this, and he was convinced.

Kang Ming ignored him, but reached out and patted Chu Wance on the shoulder lightly twice, and said with a smile: "Wan Ce, your idea is also excellent, but it has not further calculated the enemy's reaction, which has nothing to do with intelligence, but the experience is still a little lacking." Don't take it to heart, there will be a time for you to show your strength in the future. ”

Chu Wance's already gloomy face became more and more gloomy, and he responded: "My subordinates are taught." And he spoke no more.

When the Jianghuai army ambush on the hill arranged a fire attack and was about to calculate the men and horses of Pegasus Ranch, the group of Pegasus Ranch had already dragged a long line to the intersection. The three war horses at the front of the team sat Meng Xunzhen, Kou Zhong, and Luo Fang, who had a good relationship with Kou Xu and had just been promoted to deputy deacon for his military exploits.

"Master Meng, is there really no problem on the ranch?" Luo Fang looked at Meng Xunzhen and Kou Zhong, who were leisurely, and asked with some trepidation.

"What is there to worry about?" Kou Zhong hurriedly replied with a smile, "Although the ranch has experienced a battle with the four major Kou, it has not hurt the roots. We also knew that the Jianghuai army would sneak attack, so there was no reason for failure if we were so calculating or unintentional. ”

Meng Xunzhen also smiled and said: "Luo Fang, don't forget that Ziling stayed in the ranch, this kid doesn't seem to be as scheming as Zhong Shao, but in fact he is a very sullen guy, and his ghost ideas will never be inferior to Zhong Shao." With him helping Xiuxun, what else are you worried about? ”

"Lao Meng, you have no opinion on hurting the little brother of Ziling, but don't bring the little brother with you, okay?" Kou Zhong on the side first protested, and then laughed again, "But Lao Meng, you have a very accurate view of Ziling, and the word 'sullen' is used very well." You must know that when we were young, our two brothers came up with ghost ideas to trick people, and when I was beaten afterwards, I was always beaten badly, the reason is that when people saw Ziling's honest appearance, they would always think that all the bad ideas were made by me, which was really wronged! ”

Luo Fang was amused by Kou Zhong's exaggerated expression and words, shook his head and sighed: "I'm so nervous, but Zhong Shao, you still have the heart to joke, admire!" ”

Kou Zhong winked at him and asked with a smile, "Are you still nervous now?" ”

Luo Fang was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the tension he had caused by the approaching war had already dissipated without a trace with Kou Zhong's joke.

At this time, Meng Xunzhen was looking up at the sky. In the distant blue sky, the Eagle Silver Soul is circling and flying. Because the distance was too far, even with Meng Xunzhen's eyesight, he could only see a small black dot.

Seeing this, Kou Zhong also looked up into the distance, looked at the mysterious flight trajectory outlined by the silver soul in the sky, and asked with a little envy: "Old Meng, has your precious eagle seen something?" ”

"There is indeed an ambush at Songfengkou, and the arrangement is exactly as you would expect." Meng Xunzhen nodded and smiled, "Now let's see how you Zhong Shao's strategy is?" ”

Kou Zhong spread his hands, turned around and bowed to the carriage behind him that was full of things but covered with oilcloth, and said with a smile: "With these treasures provided by Master Lu, how can you use any strategy?" Just calculate it, and it will be enough to teach the group of rats who hide their heads and tails in the grass to be anxious! (To be continued!)
