Chapter 231: Strategizing
Without further ado, as soon as I returned to my residence, I gathered Qin Qi, Yue Bi, and Sang Qing together. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"As we've discussed before, if someone wants to make trouble, it's most likely for one of three reasons: to organize the escape, to sabotage the project or slow down the progress, and to assassinate some important person. At present, none of these purposes can be completely ruled out, but from the perspective of urgency, it is the most important priority for us to ensure that there is no mess during the inspection. "After conveying the important news I just got to them, I analyzed it like this.
Of course, the three of them could also understand the stakes involved, and they all nodded.
"Everyone," I spread out a silk silk on the table, which is a map of the surrounding environment of the Lishan Mausoleum, "The Lishan Mausoleum camp is on the south side of the mountain, and there are entrances to the east, northeast, north, and west, if you are the one who comes to inspect, which entrance will you give priority to?" ”
When I talked about "that person", I still just gestured to them, and did not say the word "emperor". Before the matter is officially announced, the word is still rarely used on any occasion to avoid complications.
"They came from the west, so naturally it was most convenient to come in through the west entrance." Qin Qi Dao.
Yue Bi shook his head and said, "The west entrance was originally only used to transport materials for fortifications. In the past half month, because of the diversion project of the river in the south, the projects in the west are now mostly in a state of unstarted or suspended, and the entrance is also closed. ”
"The officials and officials here usually go in and out of the east gate, but I don't think they will go around so far to enter through the east gate, right?" Sang Qing said. In fact, when the four of us came in, we walked through the east gate, but we came from the east, and this gate was the most convenient.
On the other hand, if you come from Xianyang in the west and go around to the east gate to enter, you will have to walk more than five kilometers, which is also hard to imagine.
"The entrance to the north is relatively much closer, but it is too close to the main cemetery, and now there are tunnels and construction frames everywhere, narrow and chaotic, if those people bring a lot of retinues, or a lot of carriages and horses, there is no way to enter smoothly, and if you want to collapse in the officials' camp from there, you need to pass through the whole construction site, which is too inconvenient." Yue Bi said again.
It seems that he has actually walked around the construction site for most of the month, and the first-hand information he has obtained is quite accurate and objective.
Of the four entrances, three have been eliminated, and our eyes all fell on this northeast entrance.
At that time, when I entered this camp, I had overlooked this huge construction site on the mountainside, and a piece of the east side, except for a few burial pits around the construction state, a large area of the place temporarily retained the original appearance of this place, according to the slightly sloping terrain, covered by the dwarf woods layer upon layer, I heard that there are still several natural hot springs in it, the environment is quite good, there are small roads in the meantime, although it is not too wide, but it is no problem to walk a convoy that is not too luxurious.
Now it seemed that it was the most reasonable arrangement for the patrol to enter from the northeast entrance, and to cross the path to the camp where the officials were stationed.
"What about in terms of Feng Shui? Is there anything to be particular about? I asked Sang Qing.
"Sit on the meridian, Kun is the master of the six peach blossoms, no problem!" Sang Qing said lightly, "And the main culprit who moves the land has a bad spirit, and the noble people will naturally avoid it." If you enter the northeast, it is indeed easier to avoid the area where the ground is moving, so you can be safe. ”
"Hehe," I said with a smile, "Feng Shui is safe, but whether it can really be safe or not depends on us people to use some brains!" ”
"What are you going to do?" Sang Qing asked.
I waved at the three of them, and the four heads came together, and they exchanged words for a while, this inexplicable escort mission, even if it was arranged.
"But there are only four of us, and if we do what you say, I'm afraid it won't be easy to do, right?" Qin Qi said.
"This is also what I want to say to you next, that is, each of us, and a few words of 'retinue'. And these retinues are also a very important part of whether this task can be completed beautifully! I smiled mysteriously.
The three of them looked at me with a "I knew you still had a backhand" expression. I know in my heart that we can't decide when the time comes, the location is already there, and the key to our success is actually in "people", not only because we are the four sages of Hedong, but also because we understand each other and trust each other.
The so-called fear of what comes, the more I don't want to experience, the faster it comes, two days have passed in a blink of an eye, in the early morning of this day, the sky has just dawned, I have galloped on a horse, to a hill in the northeast of the camp outside the Lishan Mausoleum.
When he came to a fork in the road, Zhaoxi, who followed behind him, shouted: "Childe, this is it, turn right and go around the mountain!" ”
I stopped and asked, "Where does the mountain on the other side come from?" ”
Zhao Xi pointed forward and said, "Go further, less than a mile away, there is a small road to go up." But the road was very narrow, and it was stepped on by people, and horses could not walk. ”
I then said to Sang Qing, who was riding on another horse, "Go over there!" ”
She nodded, and with her team of five, continued to ride forward.
The team of five, including me and Zhao Xi, pulled the horse to the right, climbed all the way uphill, dismounted and walked halfway, and finally climbed to the top of the hill. It was late autumn, and the trees in the mountains were basically bare, and the road below could be seen from the staggered branches.
Looking at the opposite hillside again, at this time, dozens of meters down from the top of the mountain were shrouded in a faint morning mist, and the shadow of Sang Qing and their team could not be seen for the time being.
However, once they also ascended the mountain, they formed an echo with us, and they were condescending, and they could well guard the road leading to the northeast gate of the camp.
"This place you chose is really good!" I praised Zhao Xi.
"Haha, I'm still very familiar with this area, within a radius of a few miles, this is the most suitable location for setting up a secret sentry." Zhao Xi touched the back of his head and smiled.
"Well, that's the best place to ambush." I nodded, "Let's take this place first, and we won't give others a chance!" ”
His face became solemn and he said, "Could anyone really want to take this opportunity to ......?"
"If there is, there is." I say.
"Huh?" He didn't understand for a moment.
"It's okay, I mean, since the adults must have a reason for this arrangement, we just need to do our part." I laughed.
We crouched down and hid ourselves among the trees, just eyes fixed on the direction from which the path had ended, waiting for the patrol to arrive.
"Childe," after waiting for more than half an hour, Zhao Xi asked, "They actually wouldn't come so early, would they?" As far as I know, there is a small town less than ten miles ahead, and if you had come from Xianyang, you would have stayed there last night. If you set off as a team early this morning, you'll have to get here, right? ”
I only said that the imperial court would send people to inspect and that we needed to go to the front to assist in the guards, but I didn't mention who they were. At this time, in response to his question, I just smiled faintly and said, "Just in case, if you are on an errand for others, you must guard against all possibilities." ”
"Are they going to leave early in the morning? There is a need to be in such a hurry! Zhao Xi said.
"Who knows? What the old man thinks, how can we guess it! I laughed.
Before I finished speaking, someone behind me shouted, "Childe, look! ”
Zhao Xi and I immediately looked into the distance along the direction of the path, but in the hazy mist, a man on a horse suddenly appeared, and from a distance we could only see that he was dressed in black, and he couldn't see any details at all.
"Really, really?" Zhao Xi asked eagerly.
I shook my head and said, "I don't know yet, wait a minute." ”
Sure enough, the appearance of the man in black was just a prelude, and soon, as if by juggling, out of the fog came out one after another people in exactly the same costume as him, all on horseback, solemnly and neatly marching.
"Be careful, everyone!" I said in a deep voice. (To be continued.) )
