At this time, the sun had already set, and under the bright moonlight, Wei Qingsong was arranging for the soldiers to make a fire and cook. Lin Yun walked leisurely beside him, talking to Wei Qingsong from time to time, his expression was like a casual trip, enjoying the scenery in front of him very much, and it didn't look like he was marching and fighting at all.

"General Wei, the night is so beautiful, it's really intoxicating. Why don't we have dinner and take advantage of this rare moonlight, how about we march at night next month? ”

"The boss is really Yaxing! It's just that on the night of early March, I'm afraid the night wind is still a little cold. We people are rough and thick-skinned, but it's nothing, and if the boss suffers from the cold, my sin will be great. ”

"Hehe, you kid just think I'm old. I bullied me and became old, so I didn't believe it, I ate today, rested for an hour, and then we went on. I will be able to get to Cheung Chau City tomorrow, and then it's not too late to rest. ”

"Okay, according to the old manager, maybe this night march, the old manager will be full of poetry, and make some famous verses. Let me also follow the adult history to leave a name, stained with light. The two looked at each other and laughed, causing the people around them to be happy as well. Qin Hao also made fun next to him: "I have memorized a lot of Lord Lin's poems, they are all famous poems." I heard that the words written by Lord Lin are very valuable, and it is best for adults to write down the poems, and the small ones must be well preserved and passed on to future generations. ”

Wei Qingsong turned around and gave him a pineapple on his forehead, and said with a smile: "You are a good sycophant, the boss is beautifully written, but you want to be beautiful." I've been running around with the boss for so many decades, and I haven't gotten a word from him. You've only been following me for a few days, so I'll go cool and wait for the boss to write to me that you'll come back. ”

Everyone said lively, but they didn't notice that Mr. Lin didn't say anything at this time, and stood there quietly. They all thought that he was brewing poetry, and everyone didn't dare to disturb him, for fear of scaring back the splendid article he was thinking of, and everyone looked at him with blank eyes, waiting for something they didn't understand to come out of his mouth.

After a long time, General Manager Lin slowly turned his head and said very seriously: "I have confidential military information to discuss with General Wei, and the rest of you should step down." ”

The wind and snow couldn't be done, everyone looked at Lin Yun with a serious face, and they scattered. Only Wei Qingsong stayed where he was, and the personal guards also stood far away, staring vigilantly around.

"General Wei, the master sent a letter just now."

"Oh! Was it the master who found the traces of the enemy? ”

Lin Yun nodded, stretched out two fingers and said, "The master told us two things. First, the master found robbers in Xiangnan Ling in the south, and they were ready to rob Xiangnan City, which is now only five hundred miles away from Xiangnan City. There were 30,000 robbers, led by the lord of Xingshan, and basically all the middle-aged men of the army poured out of the nest. It's too late to inform Xiangnancheng now, and the master can do so, but he has to expose the master's strength, so I persuaded him to give up. What to do? Master, let me have an idea with you. The second thing was that the master had encountered difficulties in recruiting troops in Gangneung, and the people of the Zhang family resolutely resisted on the grounds that there were few men, and now no one has been summoned. The master was also trapped by family affection and was a little shaken. ”

"How can this be done, the situation in Gangneung Province is unstable now. There are no horses in our hands, what do we use to deal with the enemy. The master can't be soft! ”

"It's all a small thing, and I didn't think it through. The matter of conscription should not be asked to do it, so I won't talk about it, I have my own way. It's just that Xingshan led Zhongshan, this kid is not small, he thought that Ji Laosan supported him, so he didn't know how to live or die. robbed Changzhou and came to rob Xiangnan, if he didn't give him some hardship, he still wanted to turn the sky upside down. General Wei, you have been on the battlefield for a long time, what is the best plan? Let this kid steal chickens and not become a counter-erosion of rice, and there is no return. ”

"Zhong Shan, this kid is a fart, Lao Tzu can kill two like him with a knife. It's just that he has 30,000 people, and his family background is not bad. Although we only have 5,000 people, we are all one to ten, and we are not afraid of him in a head-on confrontation, but the casualties may be a bit large. ”

"That's not good, it's too big a loss to use 5,000 people to fight against 30,000 people head-on, and 10,000 people to kill 3,000 people and lose 3,000 themselves, we can't stand it now."

"Then there are only two ways. One is to use the favorable terrain to ambush and sneak attack, and the other is to capture the thief and capture the king first. Which one does the boss think is the best? ”

"Hehe, I knew that you Wei Qingsong had a way, I think both methods will work. With the cooperation of the master and you, the general, Zhong Shan, this kid can only wash his neck and be slaughtered. Now we can't save the lives of the Zhou family, so let's wait for them on the way back to Zhongshan. The master would tell us about the enemy every day, and we would not enter the city, but cut off the circuit of Zhongshan directly to the south. ”

"Okay, I'll order it right away."

Xiangnan City was not as ignorant as Lingwu imagined, and was completely unprepared. Although the Zhou family also suffered heavy losses in the southern expedition, and the lord also died in the battle of Qingshuihe, the Zhou family was prosperous this time, and many of the descendants were capable. The Zhou family was also shrewd, and the younger warriors in the clan did not follow, so there were still a few warriors in Xiangnan City.

They know about the recent robbery in Cheung Chau, but in fact, everyone understands that some people want to make trouble. The Zhou family clearly knows that their home is close to the border, and their fate is no different from Cheung Chau. I only have two ways to go, one is to resist desperately, anyway, I still have some strength, and there is still hope for dealing with sneaky robberies. The second is to submit to the three young masters, but now they are willing, but I am afraid that the three young masters will not dare to accept it openly. I'm afraid that I can only secretly find someone to contact Yiling Mansion, but I haven't come back after two months, and I don't know what the situation is? Xiangnan City did not dare to be careless, and sentry posts were placed a hundred miles outside the city. The Zhou family armed all the men over the age of thirteen and stationed them in the city every day, ready to fight at any time.

Recently, the master led the army into Jiangling Mansion, and the Zhou family also sent people to Jiangling Mansion to greet them, anyway, both sides flattered and were not offended. The master's side will definitely not have any disadvantage to himself, but it is difficult to say on the side of the third young master, so the Zhou family has put a lot of people in the east to investigate the situation at any time.

Zhong Shan's troops were also careful, they all marched at night and hid in the woods during the day to rest. However, approaching Xiangnan City a hundred miles away, the Zhou family's secret sentinel discovered it, not to mention that his every move was all under the control of Lingwu.

"Woo woo", the terrible sound of the horn resounded in the wilderness of the city of Xiangnan, and the slaves who worked in the fields were driven back to the city, and both men, women, and children went to the city. Before Zhong Shan could lead his team to Xiangnan City, he found that a sneak attack was completely impossible. Outside the deserted city, Zhong Shan looked at the vague outline of the city wall from a distance, gave up the idea of taking advantage of the night to sneak attack, and ordered the whole army to camp on the spot.

The dark night was not quiet, and the darkness did not stop the people coming and going inside and outside the city. The robbers swaggered and set up a large camp on the east side of the city, and the fire torches lit up the camp of the generals, which was indescribably strange.
