When the ship arrived in Youzhou, Lou Shide personally greeted her, sent Taiya and her entourage back to the Governor's Mansion, and after settling them, held a confidential meeting with Long Ying, Wan Lingyu, Feng Guoting and Fang Jun in the inner hall of the Governor's Mansion.

In the past few days, Long Ying has been spending ten hours of his twelve hours a day occupied by diagnosis, treatment, experimentation and reflection, and he has memorized the "Book of Ten Thousand Poisons" by heart. Although he was reluctant, he still burned the treasure book before landing on the shore according to the instructions of the fat father-in-law, which felt like the history of "Dao Heart Planting Demon**" was burned to ashes. But the biggest achievement is that I have learned Xi language in general. On the one hand, because of his talent, and more importantly, there are similarities between Xi and Turkic

Lou Shide is a big fat man, amazingly tall, a little taller than Long Ying, like a mountain of meat. He is in his fifties, and the years of long-term war with foreigners have left traces on his face, but he is still loyal and kind. The left foot is a little lame, which should have been severely injured. Although it is not as extraordinary as the black tooth Chang Confucian general, it has a prestige that comes from his body shape.

After a few opening remarks, Lou Shide said: "Yuan Zhen has told me the situation. The Holy One has made up his mind this time, and of course I will do my best. Now that those two fools have been recalled to China, so that I can let it go, and you and Yuan Zhen to help me, if this can't clean up the Khitans, we will have to hide behind the Great Wall in the future. Oh, it's a pity that Xiaojie died in Kip Stone Valley, and he can't fight side by side with us, otherwise he would be very pleased. "It's embarrassing.

The two fools refer to Wu Youyi and Wu Yizong, Xiaojie is the general Wang Xiaojie, he is a contemporary famous general, once broke the Tibetan, his death is really an irreparable loss to the Great Zhou Dynasty

Wan Lingyu asked, "What is the situation of the Khitan people now?"

Lou Shide said: "Sun Wanrong temporarily stood still, consolidated the city land, although they are good at attacking but not good at defending, but they are indeed brave and good at fighting enemies, and all the clans are soldiers. Even if we were twice as strong as them, and we fought against each other on the battlefield, we were still overwhelmed by their shock and defeated. ”

Long Ying asked, "Why are the Khitans more powerful than us?"

Lou Shide said: "First of all, the government is harsh, no one dares to disobey, I would rather die than surrender, everyone is not afraid of death, and the whole is united, plus Sun Wanrong knows the truth of our army. Use smart meters. So far, there has not been a single time when we have not suffered a loss against them. In addition, those two fools were cowardly and afraid of war, half-hearted, and lost ground, which greatly damaged the morale of the soldiers. ”

Feng Guoting said: "Now that the situation has been reversed, it will no longer be Sun Wanrong's turn to be majestic." ”

Lou Shide said to Long Ying: "The Holy Lord issued a secret edict. Brother Long is going out on behalf of the driver this time, and your decision will be the highest decision, and no one can have any objections. What do you have any instructions from Brother Long?"

Long Ying hurriedly said: "Don't be serious, Dashuai, say so." In fact, I'm just here to help, and the opinion of the handsome is the most important. ”

Lou Shide said happily: "I know who Brother Long is, so you don't have to be polite." I have never heard a national elder speak so highly of a person. You are in the Grand Canal and the Great River to break the great river connection, and there are endless tricks and tricks, which can not be done. One of the comments that the elder said to you. I was even more impressed. ”

Fang Jundao: "What kind of comment is it?"

Lou Shide's eyes flickered, and he said slowly, word by word: "The elder said that Brother Long is another young marshal Kou Zhong. ”

Everyone was moved.

Long Ying's face turned red, and he said embarrassedly: "The old man is too famous." ”

Lou Shide smiled and said: "The elder has never looked at the wrong person. Brother Long had the audacity to say what he had in his heart, and then everyone would consider it. ”

Wan Lingyu said: "The stakes are very high, Brother Long doesn't need to be modest. You've never been a humble person. ”

The dragon eagle's eyes are full of demons, as if he has become another person. said calmly: "The first is to build momentum. Now whether the Turks, the Khitans, or our old friend Wasteland Dance know that I have the heart to attack the Khitan New City from a distance, the question is how many people there are in this strange army, and which route will be taken. We play tricks on both fronts. ”

Lou Shide nodded and said, "This is called a plan." ”

Long Ying took out the folding bow from his coat, put it on the table, and said with a wry smile: "I really don't want this baby to leave me, I just hate that I have no choice, because the second move is called the strategy of the suspicious soldier, I suddenly disappeared, what will you think of the enemy? ”

Wan Lingyu and Feng Guoting showed worried looks at the same time.

Lou Shide said: "This is equivalent to a strong man breaking his wrist, and the enemy will not be able to grasp where you have gone at all, and can only be suspicious." ”

Long Ying said: "The so-called momentum is to create a false momentum. Except for the 3,000 elites of General Guo and me, everything was laid out to be done, training 10,000 elite soldiers day and night, and at the same time sending spies to draw up the route of the surprise attack, and this aspect was left to the Wasteland Dance, so that he did not suspect that we had seen through him. ”

An arrow shot by Fang Jun that night was attached to a letterbox, and the letter in the cylinder pointed out that half an hour after "Tianpang was killed", Wasteland Dance flashed his lights four times to send signals to the shore.

Feng Guoting said worriedly: "Ning Yan knows that Tianpang's operation has failed, and she is bound to redeploy, so on the way back to China, Taiya will definitely be in danger, but you have abandoned your archery skills and want to protect Taiya, the situation does not dare to be optimistic." ”

Long Ying sighed: "I have no choice, if I can't bear it, I will make a big plan, if my identity is revealed, the Xi people will think that I deceived them, at that time, painting a tiger will not become an anti-dog, and the plan of the suspicious soldier will become a joke." ”

Lou Shide said: "What is the effect of this suspicious plan?"

Long Ying said: "Both the Turks and the Khitans now regard me as the number one enemy, and the best thing is that they think that I have penetrated into the Khitan realm and assassinate Duzhong or Sun Wanrong, then the enemy will be on high alert, so that they are exhausted to prevent and search for me." That's the hype. In such a situation, Sun Wanrong on the front line did not dare to act rashly, so that we could deploy secretly, and when launched, the enemy would be very embarrassed. ”

Lou Shide asked, "According to Brother Long's estimate, when should we launch it?"

Long Ying said: "When our 3,000 strange soldiers successfully assemble somewhere outside the pass, that is, when they are launched, I hope it will not take more than three months. We attacked the Khitan New City with surprise troops, and the marshal attacked Sun Wanrong on the front line and pinned him down. When I cut off the head of Duzhong, it will be Sun Wanrong's turn. ”

After studying the details of the act, this military meeting, which decided the future fate of the Great Zhou, came to an end.

In the early morning of the next day, Fang Jun led 2,000 elite soldiers and sent Xi people to Shanhaiguan.

After a conversation with Lou Shide, Long Ying had a deeper understanding of the situation in the northeast outside the Saiwai.

Regardless of whether it is the Khitan or the Xi people, due to the characteristics of the nomadic people, there is no fixed territory and clear boundaries, only a general range of activities. In response to this situation, Tang Taizong adopted a policy of restraint and brought the subjugated foreign clans under his jurisdiction. Then he set up the Songmo Governor's Mansion in the Khitan, with the largest Khitan chief as the governor, and set up the Raole Governor's Mansion in the Xi Nationality, with the largest chief of the Xi Nationality as the governor. The pine desert is in the north of Raole, separated by only a few hundred miles, and the governors of the two tribes basically retain their power.

The Tang Dynasty established Yingzhou City in the west of Raole and on the north shore of the White Wolf Water, and the Tang Dynasty sent troops to supervise the two prefectures of Raole and Songmo. Therefore, Yingzhou is really an important town outside the Guan, and the Youzhou in the Guanzhou echoes each other, as long as Yingzhou is kept, even if the foreigners have different intentions, it is difficult to offend Youzhou.

The loyalty of the Khitan and Sun Wanrong rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, captured Yingzhou, and reversed the whole situation in one fell swoop.

The loss of Yingzhou has far-reaching implications, and the situation outside the Seychelles will never return to its previous appearance. To Kip Stone Valley has been defeated twice, and the reputation of the Great Zhou is like a river. The Khitan gathered 80,000 people, known as 100,000, with Yingzhou as the base camp, along the Bohai Sea, and then captured Pingzhou, and the prestige was even greater. However, due to the limited number of troops, when the Great Zhou army was rejected from the city with high walls and deep ditches, the Khitan soldiers had to temporarily truce, retreat back to Yingzhou, and build a new city in the northwest of Yingzhou for 400 miles, waiting for the opportunity, and the situation of internal and external stalemate was overwhelming.

After leaving the customs, the group met with the five hundred elite cavalry of the Xi army, Fang Jun led the troops back to Shanhaiguan, and Long Ying continued to go north with the Xi people and marched towards Raole.

Arriving at the south bank of a large river that night, the Xi people set up camp tents and camped for the night, preparing to cross the river early tomorrow morning. According to Taiya, it only takes two days to cross the river to reach Raole, which is located at the southern end of the Tuhu Zhen River, and is also where Li Zhiji's tooth tent is located.

The scenery outside the plug opens the eyes of the dragon eagle, the vast wilderness and the blue sky, forming an endless empty world, except for the two banks of the river, there are not many trees. The terrain in the distance is undulating, with an open forest in between, quiet and peaceful.

The dragon eagle steered Xue'er and galloped along the river before returning to the camp. Dozens of wildfires were lit in the camp to roast wild boars and wild deer that had just returned from hunting, and the aroma was overflowing.

He was invited to join a group of Taiya, and all six masters including Vince and Bian Shi were present, as well as the young conductor Le Liu, who came to meet them this time.

Drinking the thick porridge made by the Xi people with millet seeds, eating game, facing the beauties of the Xi nationality, the starry night outside the plug is particularly charming, and Longying deeply enjoys the fun of traveling.

Apparently learning of his miraculous medical skills from Tya, Leliu became interested in him, and kept asking him about it, until he agreed to treat his loved ones, and Leliu stopped questioning him with satisfaction.

As soon as the topic changed, Le Liu asked, "How does the Empress of the Great Zhou deal with Duzhong and Sun Wanrong?"

Everyone who was talking and laughing calmed down to see how Long Ying answered.

Long Ying sorted out the ridicule in his head and said calmly: "I don't know if Brother Leliu has heard of a person named Long Ying in our country?"

Leliu smiled: "The chief guard just talked to me for a long time. Congratulations, you've finally got a hero. ”

Long Ying's gaze was cast at Téa, who lowered his head with a slightly red face, which was even more beautiful under the light of the fire. Long Ying felt that she really belonged to the world outside the Saiwai, and after leaving the customs, she naturally blended into the surrounding environment.

Long Ying said lightly: "Long Ying has become the person that the Turks and Khitans want to kill the most, but they are doomed to failure. ”

Including Téa, everyone looked disapproving, because Long Ying was too full of words. Long Ying is not boasting about himself, but just hoping to expand his benefits. At least Li Zhiji did not dare to join the Khitan against the Great Zhou

Leliu couldn't help but ask, "Why is the Imperial Doctor so confident in Long Ying?"

Long Ying said slowly, word by word: "Because Long Ying is another young marshal Kou Zhong." ”

Everyone was moved.

"Young Marshal Kou Zhong" is more convincing than a thousand words, and it is more convincing to the tribes outside the Seychelles.

Bian Shi patted his leg and said: "Well said! No wonder at the state banquet that night, watching Long Ying suppress Ning Yan so much that I couldn't raise my head, I had a sense of déjà vu." From the stories I have heard, the young marshal is also so powerful. ”

Taiya said: "What about that Wan Lingyu? He actually used the young marshal's well in the moon." ”

Long Ying said: "Wan Ling Yu and Feng Guoting are good brothers of Long Ying, waiting for Ba Fenghan and Xu Ziling to be to Kou Zhong." ”

Everyone all showed a look of shock, which shows that the prestige of the three of Kou Baxu has not declined in the slightest after nearly a hundred years.

Long Ying said in a deep voice: "Tonight will never be a quiet night, as I expected, there will be enemies before dawn." ”

Le Liu was taken aback and said, "Why did the Imperial Doctor say this?"

Of course, Long Ying couldn't tell him, sensing that he was being secretly watched, so he had to say: "Because I am proficient in the art of the Great Liuren, I will know the good luck and evil by pinching my fingers." Just riding along the river. Suddenly, I felt something, and immediately started a hexagram, so I expected this. ”

Dandan believed him the most, and said in shock: "The imperial doctor is sure to be right in his words, we must listen to his advice." ”

Another master named Huang Junning frowned and said, "We are already in our own place, who dares to attack us?"

Thea said: "Could it be that Ning Yan is desperate, but how can I blame you outside?"

Bian Shi said: "It must be a Khitan." ”

Long Ying knew that the attacker was not a Turk, so he told Taiya for the reason, but he was not a Khitan either, because he overheard the conversation between Yue Zhongqian and Ning Yan that night, and knew that Yue Zhongqian opposed Ning Yan's proposal to kill Taiya. There is only one possibility. No matter how impossible it may seem, when all other possibilities are excluded, this impossibility becomes the only answer. That is, the attacker is a member of their own people.

But Long Ying can't say it either.

Leliu was skeptical, and muttered: "There is only a big river in this place, and there is no danger to defend in addition, only digging trenches and pits, and piling up soil." ”

Long Ying said: "In this way, none of us will definitely leave alive." When the enemy is attacking, we are already exhausted from building military installations, so how can we deal with the battle?"

Taiya said, "How sure is the Imperial Doctor that there will really be an enemy attack?"

Long Ying said: "I am completely sure. And we have only one choice. When the enemy thought we were resting, only a few men remained to keep watch on all sides, while we quietly crossed the river in a nearby place where the lights were out of reach. We will greatly increase the chances of breaking out and escaping. ”

Le Liu said bitterly: "It's not that I disrespect the prediction of the imperial doctor, but...... Alas!"

Tya asked, "Why does Sir say that even if we succeed in crossing the river, we will still be hunted down?"

Long Ying said: "We have two words in Middle-earth, called. The good do not come. The enemy knows that we are false, and his goal is to kill none of us, and there is no one left alive to go back and tell your king who the murderer is. Therefore an ambush must be laid on the other side, so that no one escapes to the other side by water, and the same is true downstream. ”

Vince said with admiration: "It turns out that the imperial doctor is not only skilled in medicine, but also proficient in the art of war. ”

Long Ying said to Leliu: "We still have two sayings in Middle Earth, which are not afraid of 10,000, but only in case. I'm wrong, you can put the blame on me. But if I'm right, it's to pick up most, if not all, lives. ”

Leliu looked up at the starry sky and said categorically: "I persuaded the imperial doctor." But I'm going to send out spies and search near and far. ”

Long Ying was taken aback and said, "By all means, this will only force the enemy to launch early." ”

The music flow finally showed a displeased color.

Long Ying said: "I have a way to prove that my hexagram is correct. ”

Leliu was surprised: "How can I confirm it?"

Long Ying said confidently: "The enemy's smartest attack method is to build a raft upstream, take advantage of the darkness and silently attack, first burn the camp tent with rockets, make us an obvious target, and then use fast horses to storm the camp, and kill people when they see it." and laid ambushes on the opposite shore and downstream, and swept us down. ”

Le Liu's face turned pale, and he nodded: "In such a situation, we really have no power to fight back. ”

And again, "But how to prove it?"

Long Ying said in a deep voice: "As long as you send the best people with light skills to follow me upstream, I guarantee that within ten miles, you can see that the enemy is starting to build a raft, so there is no need to have any suspicion." ”

Tya said, "I'll go with you!"

Leliu said: "Okay, but don't alarm the other party's sentinels, otherwise the enemy will launch early." He smiled bitterly and said, "The faith of the Imperial Doctor is contagious, and now I seem to feel a crisis. ”

Dragon Eagle and Thea stood up at the same time, and the atmosphere immediately became tense.

Long Ying patted Le Liu's shoulder and said, "We people in Middle-earth have a saying, calling a dead horse a live horse doctor. Don't be idle, make all the preparations, as soon as we find the enemy, come back as soon as we find it, and then do as we please. ”

Le Liu said: "We also have to use local materials to build two rafts, otherwise it will be very bad if we lose the two medicine boxes of the imperial doctor." ”

Long Ying said: "It doesn't matter if you lose anything, the most important thing is that you don't lose your life." Without this batch of medicines, I can take them everywhere. ”

He smiled at Dandan, who was so frightened that his face was bloodless, that "I will protect you." ”

After saying that, Bi and Thea left the camp and swept upstream under the cover of the trees on the shore.

The dragon eagle crouched down beside a pile of bushes, and Tya came to him, hid like him, and asked, "Did you find anything?"

Long Ying said: "There is a sentry post ahead, a total of four enemies, two of whom are at the branches. ”

Thea looked ahead, and the shadows of the trees were heavy, and the darkness was overwhelming, and she didn't notice anything wrong.

Long Ying leaned over to her little ear, couldn't help but kiss it lightly, and said, "Can't you see it?" Let me ask for directions by throwing stones, and Bao Bao will react." ”

Thea said, "No! will alarm them." ”

Long Ying kissed her face again, under the starry night, Tya turned her head to look at him, she couldn't tell the difference between joy and hatred, and Long Ying's heart was crisp. He said with a smile: "There are many kinds of throwing stones to ask for directions, and I will misunderstand the enemy." ”

Grabbing a fist-sized stone in his hand, he threw it towards the river, bent out of his hand, bounced up again after touching the water, and then bounced continuously, leaving more than a dozen ripples and making a series of water sounds.

More than 20 zhang deep in the forest, there was a slight sound, continuous, it should be someone moved to the river to inspect, the sound of feet stepping on the blades of grass.

Then someone whispered, "It must be a fish, and it must be a fish with a big tail." ”

Long Ying looked at Tella, her face was pale, and her beautiful eyes shot a shocked look, and I couldn't help but kiss her face again. Unexpectedly, Tya replied with fragrant lips and kissed him passionately, which made the soul of the dragon eagle disappear.

Lip splitting.

Tya said, "Let's go back!"

Long Ying said: "Don't you want to see who the other party is?"

Thea leaned over and licked his ear lightly, panting softly, "I want to die!" but it's too dangerous. ”

Long Ying said: "It's not dangerous at all, you can go if I go, completely follow my movements, you can avoid the eyes and ears of the enemy." ”

Not allowing her to have a chance to object, she first retreated more than thirty feet, and then rushed to the right, and went straight to a raised hill before stopping.

Thea followed closely behind, reaching out and squeezing his thigh, and said, "You're so bold." ”

Long Ying smiled: "We have a saying in Middle-earth, if you can't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger's son." Come with me. ”

Said that Bi ran high and low, walked and stopped, zigzagged around a big circle, came to a sparse forest, reached out and put his arm around Taiya's small waist, pulled up, came to the horizontal trunk of a big tree, stood firm and said: "Look!"

Tya didn't need to be reminded of her, and looked towards the riverbank, where the lights were burning half a mile away, and thousands of warriors were building rafts, more than twenty miles from their camp, and the place where the trees were cut down was behind a hill, so that the sound could be heard far away.

Long Ying kissed the corner of her lips and said, "Is it your clansman?"

Taiya said: "It's a person from the department and the department, it's too hateful, and this matter must be entrusted to the king." ”

The Xi people are divided into five major tribes, namely the Ahui Department, the Division and the Department, the Ao Lost Department, the Duji Department and the Yuan Qi Folding Department. The Ahui Department is the largest, and Li Zhiji is the big chief of the Ahui Ministry, and Ahui is his family name. This discovery is not trivial, and it shows that there is discord within the Xi people and there is a great crisis of split.

Thea wrapped her hands around his neck and said gratefully, "I didn't feel it strong last time, but this time you really saved my life, and everyone else's." ”

Long Ying unceremoniously accepted the fragrant kiss she offered, this time more intensely lingering than any before, showing that the ugly doctor he pretended to be finally touched by her heart.

After receiving the exact information, Leliu immediately commanded Ruo Ding like a reborn and ordered the river crossing in an orderly manner. When it was imperative, no one showed panic and silently followed the order, showing the excellence of the male and female warriors of the Xi tribe.

The location chosen to cross the river was more than 30 zhang upstream from the camp, and Leliu had already made preparations to make people probe the water potential and water conditions, knowing that this section of the river was narrow and shallow, and the deepest part was only eight feet. and fixed it on both sides with four thick cords. The best thing is to tie up a large number of spears and use them as floating rafts for negative objects. All rights reserved
