The spring wind brings warmth and blows over the green fields. Just the sprouts are beginning to bloom, and in the blink of an eye, the willows are green, and the fragrant warblers are dancing and butterflies flying.

At the foot of Yishan Mountain, there are wagons placed one after another, and the new black paint is accompanied by the fragrance of wood, which makes the whole camp ripple with a breath of spring.

Wu Yan carried a hoe, led the dreadnought army to plow the last piece of land, planted the last field, and waited for the news of the landing family.

According to the agreement with Lu Fengxi, the Lu family will take the opportunity of the spring hunt to send people to patrol the territory of the Meng family to attract its troops.

Wu Gan's task was to lead people to attack Qinghuai City, the big city of the Meng family.

This city is located along the Xiao River, control the important ferry of the Xiao River, Yujin Crossing, go west along the river for three hundred miles, enter the territory of the Ji family, go southeast, pass through several big cities, it can be close to the main city of the Lu family, Maojing City, the geographical location is not unimportant.

In the air, there was a sharp falcon chirping.

Wu Yan lifted the hat on his head, held the hoe in his hand, and watched with the treasure elephant watch a black dot fall towards the mountain.

Not far away, Tudan, Zhang Wuyang and Le Xi came over one after another, all three of them were dressed as farmers, and they were all accompanying Wu Yan to plow the land and weed today.

After several rounds of purges, the whole of the dreadnought army had to participate in production, and no one was exempt, including Wu Gan, so there was a lot less resistance from the herdsmen in the army.

"The owner of the village, it should be the military order to send troops." Zhang Wuyang said in a low voice.

Wu Yan nodded, "Those mastiffs are still used to pulling carts." ”

"After this half a month of running-in, I am already familiar with the car, and even the horses in the camp have adapted to the existence of these mastiffs." Zhang Wuyang hurriedly replied.

Perhaps to confirm Zhang Wuyang's words, on the plain in the distance, there were two giant mastiffs pulling a chariot and rushing towards the camp at a gallop. In the car, Niu Chao roared arrogantly, arrogant and arrogant. After all, these dogs were secretly driven back by him when he ran back to Xingshan and looked for cattle.

"Let's go." Wu Yan put on his hat again and walked towards the camp with a hoe on his shoulder.

Behind him, Baoxiang and others were also carrying farm tools, like a group of farmers who had returned late.

As soon as he entered the gate of the camp, Zhuoke hurried out of the camp, and there was a figure not far away who was secretly spying on the movement.

Glancing at Le Yu who was probing his brain, Wu Yan didn't pay attention to it, took the note handed over by Zhuo Ke, glanced at it hurriedly, frowned slightly, and handed the note to Baoxiang casually.

"Five days later, the Lu family convened the spring hunting of all families in Xianwanling, this time is too tight, it will take us six or seven days to reach Qinghuai City, and we will go late, I can't say that the Meng family will return to the division to help. Moreover, after arriving, it is not possible to capture the opponent's city suddenly, if it is difficult to take the city, it is impossible to say that our army will suffer from the enemy on its back, how can there be such a hasty reason. Bao Xiang grumbled as he watched.

Several people also talked about it and walked into Wu Qian's house.

"Map." Wu Gan commanded, even though the map had been drawn hundreds of times in his mind.

Zhuo Kemali spread the map on the table, and everyone gathered around the table, watching the mountains and rivers meandering on the map.

"My lord, this battle is not easy to fight, and it is not easy to attack the city. According to the intelligence, there are nearly 500 guards in this Qinghuai City, and we only have 1,000 soldiers, how can we suddenly go down to the city. Zhang Wuyang frowned, looked at the map and said.

"According to our original route, it will take six days to hurry up, and we will pass through the territory of the Meng family on the way, and we can't hide such movements.

After a rapid march all the way, our men and horses were stuck, and the tired troops attacking the city could have suffered heavy casualties. In addition, the Lu family will hunt in the spring five days later, and the men and horses of the Meng family may have already assembled and set off, if they detect the movement of our army, these horses and horses can kill them without mobilization, and I am likely to fall into a situation of being attacked from both sides. ”

Wu Yan sighed and pressed his hand on the map, "I know all this, how to deal with it at the moment, you might as well talk about your thoughts." ”

After being silent for a long time, Baoxiang couldn't help but take the lead in speaking, "Hey, if you want me to say, don't care when the Lu family goes on a spring hunt, they will definitely not completely tear their faces with the Meng family this time, is this obviously using us as thugs." It's done, we will take down the Meng family and sit back to collect the power of the fisherman. Defeated, it was our bad luck, and there was no loss at all for his Lu family.

Since this is the case, let's not look at his face, and honestly prepare for attacking Qinghuai City independently according to ourselves. As for where to fight, I think we shouldn't go straight to the past, we can take a detour, don't go from the Meng family's territory. ”

Wu Gan's eyes lit up, yes, why do you want to kill the past, can't you just intersperse and detour. These days, the deduction is all based on the idea of cutting through the mess with a quick knife, echoing the actions of the Lu family, and killing all the way to Qinghuai City.

After a long time, several people inevitably formed a mindset. Baoxiang's words made everyone open up another way of thinking. That's your Lu family's means of playing with you, I do my dirty work, as long as you turn around for me afterwards, you will get the name, you will get the land, but you will have to stay the people and wealth.

In fact, the Dreadnought Army is like a thug recruited by the Lu family at this time, doing some things that are not easy for the family to do, for example, some imperial courts in Beizhou will also hire some foreign strong soldiers to do things for themselves, and each other just takes what they need.

Once the situation changes, this army will definitely be the first to be abandoned, Wu Gen understands in his heart, and the Lu family also understands that Wu Gen understands in his heart, so the Dreadnought Army and the Lu family have formed this strange relationship, both cooperative and vigilant, both relatively independent and interdependent.

Now that the mind is open, it is easy to say, and everyone turns their attention to the map again.

The nearest road to Qinghuai City is, of course, all the way to the northwest, Zhang Wuyang compared the drawings on the map a few times, and said with a serious expression: "Zhai master, since we don't have to rush to Qinghuai City in such a hurry, then simply bypass the territory of the Meng family, go all the way to the west, pass through the Tiger Roaring Pass, and attack all the way down the Xiao River out of Lu Mountain."

At this time, the Meng family should focus on guarding the Lu family in the east, and the troops in the west are weak, so I just took the opportunity to take Qinghuai City by surprise. ”

Wu Yan looked at the long Xiao River on the map thoughtfully, and suddenly looked up at Tu Dan, who was speechless, "You also said that it is still feasible to attack Qinghuai from the west." ”

Tudan's eyes flickered, and he glanced at Wu Yan seriously, "My lord trusts me?" ”

Wu Gen also looked solemn, and said with a straight face: "I believe it, otherwise I wouldn't have let you participate in this military conference." ”

Tudan nodded, "Okay, before answering the adult's question, I don't know if the adult has ever thought about why the Lu family gave us such a hasty time, such a big event, why the dreadnought army of my main attack would know the news so late, I don't believe it, such a major decision, the Lu family would make such a hasty decision." ”

Everyone present looked at Tudan, and there was something different in his words. Although this Tudan is from the Lu family, he really regards himself as a member of the Dreadnought Army.

Wu Yan walked to the window, pushed the window open, took a deep breath, and only turned around after a while: "Because the Lu family has never regarded us as their own people, as Baoxiang said, we are people's thugs and dogs that bite people."

So this time we got the news so late, and to put it nicely, they ignored us, and only then did we remember that there was still this biting dog that we didn't tell us. If you think deeply, maybe they are deliberately letting us know later, so that our tired army should fight against the Meng family, and take the opportunity to consume the strength of the dreadnought army and the Meng family, anyway, no matter which family dies more, it will be beneficial to the Lu family. m.

Therefore, in the future, when the dreadnought army acts, we should take me as the main thing, take into account the ideas of the Lu family, and never let the family lead us. ”

"That's right, that's exactly what the Lu family meant." Tudan arched his hand at Wu Gan, "Your Excellency can trust me, but you can't blindly trust everyone in the Dreadnought. However, this matter has been revealed for the time being, and I also agree with Commander Zhang's idea to attack from west to east along the Xiao River.

Since you are attacking along the river, the best way is to go straight down the river and enter the city. As far as I know, the Xiao River passed around Qinghuai City, and the Meng family dug a big ditch to divert it from Yujindu, forming a wide moat. As a result, the space between the walls and the moat was so narrow that there was no room for many people.

The river enters the city from the water gate in the west of the city, and the water gate is pulled up to transport goods on weekdays, and the water gate will be lowered and closed in case of war. If I had one of my men in control of the water gate, I would have been able to go straight down the river into the city. It's just that there must be someone stationed at this water gate, and the people guarding the gate need to be attacked and killed. ”

"Since it is going down the river, where does the ship come from?" Lexi suddenly spoke, seemingly a little unappetizing of Tudan's proposal.

These two people each have a branch of the trilogy, and there is a lot of competition on weekdays. Today, seeing that Wu Gen is quite serious about Tudan, and Tudan does put forward convincing opinions, Le Xi can't help but be a little jealous, so he questioned it.

Tudan glanced at Lexi, put his finger somewhere on the map, and said confidently: "Actually, sixty miles upstream of Yujindu, there is also a ferry called Xiaoyujin. Due to the large number of boats and the high cost of berthing fees, many people have moored here.

As long as we take the ship here and do it neatly, Qinghuai City will not be able to discover our whereabouts. When the time comes, send the dead men to lie in the middle of the ship, and cooperate with the men at the city gate, and then they can attack the city in one fell swoop. ”

Le Xi looked at the position where his fingers were pressing, turned his head and arched his hand at Wu Gan and said, "My lord, if you want to send a dead soldier, Le Xi is willing to take someone there." ”

Wu Yan waved his hand, knowing that he was discussing military strategy today, and seeing that everyone had proposals, but he couldn't come up with more useful ideas, Le Xi was anxious, so he had the idea of being a dead soldier.

"You're going to be a dead soldier, and my archers will be in charge." stepped forward and patted Le Xi's shoulder, smiled and comforted: "Fighting is also an experience job, the more you fight, the more you feel, the more they have fought many games, so they naturally have more ideas." Don't worry, after a few hard battles, you may be better than a few of them. ”

Wu Yan strode to the map, "I have made up my mind, so I will march westward according to what I have just discussed, and seize the ship to attack Qinghuai." Zhuoke is very good at water, and he is the commander of the dead in this battle. As for the city gates, I have sent men into the city, and they will be answered. Let's all go down and get ready, and set off early tomorrow morning. ”

Everyone agreed with their promise and went out one after another to prepare for the war, leaving only Wu Gen and Baoxiang.

"Wu Gan, when we came here, I always felt that we were cheated by the Lu family." Seeing that there was no one in the room, Bao Xiang sat on a chair with a somewhat resentful face.

Wu Yan didn't return to his seat, sat next to Baoxiang, and said with a smile: "Actually, the Lu family not only wants to pit us, but more importantly, they want to pit the Ji family. My Xingshan Dreadnought Army has already made a name for daring to fight well, and if the Lu family is ambitious, they definitely don't want this team to grow.

Earlier, they were still trying to win over the Xingshan Dreadnought Army through me, but I prevaricated it. Now that they have pressed me here, the Ji family has one less general. Allow me to build another dreadnought army here, and under the elimination of one and the other, the strength of the Lu family against the Ji family has increased a few points. ”

"Then we really have to be careful that the Lu family unloads and kills the donkey in the end, these bad birds are all carrying knives in their arms, and they don't have a good heart." Baoxiang sighed a little, why did these people think so much, "By the way, you revealed the news that Li Qi entered Qinghuai City in advance, and the others don't care, aren't you afraid that Tudan will leak it." ”

"Tudan is a person, I underestimated him at first, but later after Li Qi's secret inspection, I learned that his background is fine. He was originally a hundred households, but because he was not a descendant of the Lu family, he was vacant for many years.

It's hard to get a thousand households, but the Lu family fought with others, and the men and horses he led were ordered to go deep into the battlefield to snipe, but the Lu family's follow-up soldiers and horses did not assault, and the news of Tudan's attack was leaked by someone some, and the whole army was wiped out in isolation.

And he was also captured by life, tortured, and finally escaped back, but was degraded by the charge of miscommand and thrown to Liu'an City as a city guard.

This time, it was thrown at us like a rag, and it was inevitable that I would be angry in my heart, so I deliberately made mistakes and omissions at the beginning. How could such a person be subdued by Niu Chao's methods, but he was a little discouraged and lazy, taking the opportunity to defile himself, and wanted to remove this position as the chief of the song, and not use it for the Lu family and us. It was only later, seeing that my dreadnoughts were doing things fairly, that they ignited their ambition again. This person, if you use it well, you are really a talent. ”

The two were discussing when they heard Zock crying out at the door.

Some people died, but not completely......
