Unlike the climate in the north, the nights in the south are hotter and humid, and although it has entered midnight, it is still sultry and breathless.

On the second day, the spies stationed on the main road reported, the hidden Wu Chu coalition army finally revealed its shelter, the Dragon and Tiger Pass formed a natural and narrow fortress for the continuous high mountains on both sides, the emperor of the Jin Kingdom heard that the reason for the loss of the Dragon and Tiger Pass was that once the Dragon and Tiger Pass was lost, Langzhou was lost, there would be no natural barrier to the north, and all the way was a plain area, so the enemy army could enter the land of no one and directly smash the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty, so the burden on Lin Chengde's shoulders this time was extremely heavy, and the fate of the Great Jin country was in the hands of one person. How could he sleep peacefully, so Lin Chengde only rested for two hours before risking the night to climb the city tower to think about the battle situation.

And because Lin Qingzhi, who was not adapted to the climate and residence, got up early and saw his father standing on top of the city tower with a solemn face, the black big sword flying violently in the wind, and a soldier's regret overflowed from his back.

Knowing that Wu Chu's large number of reinforcements retreated to the south side of Longhu Pass at night, Lin Chengde's eyes showed a hint of worry, this time the enemy would rather give up the Dragon and Tiger Pass and retreat dozens of miles, not afraid of the Jin army, but to retreat and advance to use the natural mountain barrier to lead the Jin army to pursue, you can ambush on the mountains on both sides of the ambush, with the advantage of high places easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Lin Chengde was worried when he saw the enemy's conspiracy, if he sent troops, he would fall into the hands of the enemy, if he did not send troops, the Jin army would not have enough food and grass, and he could not afford to fight for a long time.

Summoned six henchmen to discuss in the council room, Lin Qingzhi also followed, several people for how to send troops to express their opinions and argue hotly, the most fierce of which is Xu Chu and yesterday's black thin general Xu Li, it turned out that he and Xu Chu were Lin's father's lieutenants, Zhonglang generals, except for Liu Jun, the rest of the people are Zhaowu captains, most of them advocate the pursuit of victory, and take advantage of the morale to boost the pursuit of Wu Chu's army, only Liu Jun and Lin Qingzhi listened silently to their arguments, waiting for their faces to be red, Lin Chengde got up and paced a few steps and asked, "Zhi'er, Liu Taishou, what do you two think?" ”

Lin Qingzhi glanced at Liu Jun and said: "My daughter thinks that you must not rush to pursue at this time, since the enemy army retreats outside the valley, it must be expected that we only have one road to go in the valley, and the mountains on both sides are full of ambushes. Lin Qingzhi's eyes were bright and she said loudly.

Everyone was silent, and after a while, someone muttered, "Can we just sit back and wait for the opportunity?" ”

"Since the road can not be walked, since the enemy wants to consume with us, then they will follow their intentions on the surface, creating a false impression that they think we are consuming, although it is the summer humid and hot unbearable, the woods are dense, but it also gives us a chance, before coming to southern Xinjiang, I have a general understanding of the poisonous snakes and poisonous insects in the south, and there is miasma in the forest, ordinary people and so on can not bear it at all, so they ordered people to bring medicinal herbal powder, and now only a few local senior guides are lacking to guide the way." After speaking, Lin Qingzhi turned her head and stared at Liu Jun.

After the latter understood, he gave up his hand and affirmed: "Please rest assured, if you can trust it, this matter will be handed over to the lower officials." ”

Lin Qingzhi nodded, looked at Lin Chengde and asked, "What is my father's opinion?" ”

"My father also has this intention, but I am worried about the poisoning of snakes, poisonous insects and miasma in the dense forest, since Zhi'er has this foresight and prepared medicinal powder, it will be easy to do next. According to the report of the spies, the enemy troops who withdrew last night are estimated to be at least 100,000 people, and our army is currently available with a total of 220,000 troops, leaving 50,000 to defend the city, and sending 70,000 soldiers to go around the dense forest to the front of the enemy to kill the enemy by surprise, and when the enemy leads the army to confront, the other 100,000 soldiers come from the valley to a double-sided attack, the commander is responsible for the handsome army to detour through the dense forest, and Liu Taishou is responsible for defending the city. Lin Chengde didn't give everyone a chance to object, and ordered.

After the discussion of several people, the generals ordered the soldiers to start preparing, Lin Qingzhi called Rongyue and whispered a few words, and saw Rongyue tidy up her clothes and go to the market outside the door.

Lin Qingzhi ordered the soldiers to take away the porcelain bottle of medicinal powder brought from Luoyang, and after telling them how to use it, he sent people to distribute them one by one.

An hour later, all the preparations were ready, 50,000 soldiers were assembled, Lin Chengde wore armor, and disappeared into the dense forest with a mighty team.

It was only half an hour since Lin Chengde led the army into the dense forest, Ah Da and Ah Er appeared in front of Lin Qingzhi with Xu Li with angry faces, Lin Qingzhi Shi Ran walked to the mahogany chair and sat down, holding a tea cup and said lightly: "General Xu, do you know why the county lord can find out your identity so quickly?" ”

Xu Li, who was restrained in his hands, looked angry, his eyes were as hateful as silver bells, and he said: "You don't want to spew blood, I, Xu Li, follow the marshal and be loyal, why do you frame me with empty words?" ”

"Framed? Do you really think I have no proof? See for yourself what this is? Lin Qingzhi threw a white note in front of Xu Li.

"If it weren't for the county lord to find out in advance, I'm afraid that my father and hundreds of thousands of troops would die in your hands, what kind of benefits did Wu Chu give you, so that you, as a dignified Jin man, would rather be treason than help the enemy army." Extremely angry, after she finished a sentence with a pale face, she sat down on the chair weakly, if she hadn't paid more attention, she wouldn't have dared to think about the consequences.

After a moment, Xu Li, who bowed his head, laughed wildly in a solemn tone, and said word by word: "Why? When Zuo Xiang and the emperor beheaded my Li family, did you think about mercy? After so many years, I changed my face to join the army, just to win your father's trust, but to avenge my revenge one day, I can't get close to the palace, if I can make him lose the country and lose the throne, it will be a pleasure, hahaha, you can kill me, and the second and third...... Until I fulfill the last wish of my Li descendants, hahahaha" At this time, Xu Li's eyes were full of red threads, and his already dark face was distorted by hatred, and he was already crazy.

"The Li family's qi is exhausted, why bother to go against the sky, you don't hesitate to step on the blood of thousands of people for restoration, and you don't hesitate to stir up the bloody wind and rain in the world, is it worth it?" Lin Qingzhi's eyebrows frowned slightly, and her words were awe-inspiring.

"You grew up with brocade clothes and jade food, grew up with a golden spoon, and the left prime minister covered the sky with one hand, and was admired and flattered by ten thousand people, do you understand the bitterness and joy of the people?" Xu Li snorted disdainfully, his tone full of contempt and disdain.

"Is there anyone like you in this army? If you speak out, keep you from dying. Lin Qingzhi said quietly.

"If you want to take my life, you can take it, I don't care anymore." After Xu Li finished the last sentence, no matter how much Lin Qingzhi coerced and tempted, he no longer spoke, Lin Qingzhi also admired his bearing, and no longer forced each other, but ordered people to stay and take strict care, and wait for Lin Chengde to come back before making a decision.
