That night, the meteor scouts rushed to the outside of the city, and Hu Wei walked over the wall, and there was no trace. The oil lamp in Xiao Erlang's wing room was swaying, and Erlang was lying on the defense map and fell asleep. Fang Xu stayed awake all night, simply visited the garden at night, and sat on the Taihu Lake stone to look at the moon.

The next day, the drum was beaten. The drums of the three-way gathering will sound, and the veteran general Xiao will sit in the big tent of the Chinese army, and everything is ready. Eight partial generals wore helmets and armor, and stood in east and west according to the size of their military ranks. Knife and axe hands, bound hands, middle officers, flag officers, and heralds are lined up on both sides.

The general's spirit and heavenly ginseng said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, the enemy has placed grain and grass thirty miles north of Fengzhou City, and there are more than 1,000 seats in the granary. The escort officer is still raising food, and the reinforcements are nowhere to be seen, so there must be a traitor in the way, how to retreat from the enemy? ”

The silver tiger general Xiao Erlang walked forward, "Father, since ancient times, Fengzhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack, you might as well avoid the battle, there are mountains and rivers in the east, and Lanzhou in the south." Troops should be concentrated on the west and north sides. Although the grain and grass reinforcements were blocked, the stakes were very high, and the amount would not be too long, and if it dragged on for several months and a half, His Majesty would not be able to investigate it at all. ”

General Liu Xin stepped forward: "Marshal, although Fengzhou is in danger, but the grain and grass are insufficient, if the old thief is the obstacle, I am afraid that it will be difficult to hold out for too long, the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first." It is better to take advantage of the arrival of the army, we will take the first step and burn his granary. Thieves are good at nomadism and are not good at storing food. Without the granary, it must retreat without a fight. ”

The marshal closed his eyes for a long time, and slowly opened his mouth: "More than 1,000 sit in the granary, presumably the army should have 100,000, the guards in my city will be 20,000 people, and the cavalry will be 5,000, just enough to rob and burn grain and grass, more than 1,000, the momentum is too huge, it is not easy to succeed, less than 1,000, the destruction is too slow, and the fear of thieves and thieves will react to the siege of the army, and it is difficult to get out." If you defend the city, you will not be afraid. It's just that...... The old thief withheld my salary, and then it would be a dead end......... Cease! ”

After speaking, Xiao Shuai took out several generals.

"Guo Ben, Guo Xiang obey the order!" "The last general!" "Ben Shuai ordered the two of you to be the left and right wings, and each lead a thousand men!" "Yes!"

"Yu Wan listens to the order!" "The last general!" "Ben Shuai ordered you to be the pioneer of the road, lead a thousand cavalry to open the road in the mountains, and build a bridge in the water!" "Yes!"

"Zhang Zifang listens to orders!" "The last general!" "You will lead two thousand soldiers and horses with me!" "Yes!"

"Xiao Yuanshan listens to orders!" "The last general!" "You only need to stand by in the city, if something happens, lead the soldiers to defend Fengzhou to the death!" "Yes!"

"Without further ado, the commanders will go with me on the fourth watch tonight!"

The generals said in unison, "Honorable Order!" The sound was like thunder.

only hated the strict discipline in the barracks, Xiao Erlang really wanted to argue———— go into battle, father and son, and fight the enemy together. The meaning of his father is that he understands that Dalang suffered on the battlefield, hated the northern country, and his body was shrouded in horse leather, and his head has not been seen so far. He is the only seedling of the Xiao family. My father couldn't bear to let himself go into battle to kill. With his father's temper, if he argues now, he is afraid that there will be no father and son in the army, not only will he not be able to persuade him, but he will also be beaten in vain. Alas, that's it.

Xiao Erlang thought again, turning defense into attack, surprise, but it was also a good strategy, it happened that there were 5,000 cavalry, no more, no less, and the plan went smoothly. And he didn't think about it anymore.

When Xiao Erlang returned to the house, as soon as he arrived at the back house, he saw Hu Wei jumping down from the wall, like a toad, and couldn't help but laugh. This is a thief habit, and it feels uncomfortable to go in and out of the front gate on weekdays.

Hu Wei looked up and saw Erlang, his hands on his knees, panting and saying,

"Eh, Lao Xiao! Give me a hand, and let you live a good life...... Whoosh...... Whoosh...... I'll tell you, you have to give it to me today...... Whoosh...... Fifty taels, no, one hundred taels! ”

"Hey? Say you're coming? …… Whoosh...... Just come empty-handed? Silver and silver, I'll climb the roof for you to make some people, and you haven't even drunk a sip of water,...... Whoosh...... Let's talk about it, the price is one hundred and fifty taels~ Two more green onions, five flatbreads, one less, don't blame me Hu Ye for not recognizing people~ Whoo....... ”

It can be regarded as putting this living treasure into the room, and this thing will fall asleep. Sleep until the fourth watch.

Call Fang Xu again, and the servants sit around the oil lamp. These three are interesting, one with red eyes and white face like a little ghost, yawning and yawning; a red-faced man in a brocade robe; A thin monkey in coarse linen clothes, waving two green onions, with a flatbread in his mouth, didn't know what to say, and saw him waving his hands and feet, and the servants lived together like a dancing god.

"Kazi" "Kazi" Hu Wei stared, chewed the green onion in three or two, and stuffed the white cake in his mouth. From the sleeve, a few notes were felt out on the chest, and Mr. Private School read the content with emotion, which is that level......

"Ahem, the Gaoquan Gang, please Jiang Gang and other five villages, I haven't robbed the house for a few days, it's strange. Three of the gang leaders were killed by Li Ying last night, and the village was also absorbed. A few days ago, many foreign spies in the city were also arrested by the evil faction, and they were all cut down before they could be interrogated. Recently, the number of entrances and exits at the north gate has increased significantly, and it is also ......"

Xiao Erlang's eyelids jumped when he heard this, and he stood up with a "brush". I can't wait to roll up my sleeves and slap Hu Wei straight to the bone. Forget about what you said, what is this inquiry, it's all trivial!

Fang Xu narrowed his eyes and thought with his chin in mind. I thought: This Hu Wei seems to be out of tune, but if you compare Fengzhou to a web, this Hu Wei is a spider entrenched in the web, worthy of being a thief, and this intelligence ability is no less than planting eyeliner.

Suddenly, seeing Xiao Erlang's face turn blue and standing up, Fang Xu hurriedly pressed him back to the stool and said, "Don't worry, second brother, take your time, you see, these five evil sects, who were originally robbing houses and houses, suddenly stabilized for a while, which shows ......"

"Oh......" Xiao Erlang suddenly realized, "It means that they are good!" ”

Hu Wei almost laughed out loud when he said this, and a few large cake crumbs squirted out of his mouth.

Fang Xu's eyelids jumped, and he said slowly: "It means that they have been bought, the gold and silver are enough, and there is no need to rob again, then Li Ying killed the three gang leaders last night, and it makes sense." ”

"Ah...... Oh oh yes......"

Fang Xu's eyes narrowed again, "There were a lot of spies in the city a while ago, the north gate leads directly to the Gobi, and there are more pedestrians, and it makes sense, so it has disappeared in the past two days, which means ......"

"It means they got what they wanted." Xiao Erlang finally got the hang of it, his sword frowned, and said, "Maybe Fengzhou's defense map, the number of troops...... It's all there. ”

"Well, Lanzhou is too stubborn and replaced, and it has been replaced by Cai Jing's doglegs...... It's not good............"

Hu Wei wiped his mouth, his triangular eyes lit up, and he smiled and grinned, his face sank like water, and he whispered: "Now, the biggest question is how much we have been inquired about our situation. ”

Hu Wei looked at the flickering lights, folded his arms, and said in a deep voice: "Maybe, the matter is much more serious than you think." ”
