On the shore of the sparkling Xiao River, there are several sailors and soldiers of the Lu family who are busy on the bank. These days, a lot of tree stumps have drifted down the river, drifting with the current, rampage across the river. These stumps are of little use and can only be used for firewood.

Sadly, the appearance of these stumps made it much more difficult for ships on the Xiao River to navigate. If you're not careful, you'll hit these oddly shaped tree stumps, and in some cases, you can even crash the boat into a hole. Therefore, these soldiers had to run to the river to fetch wood or push it to the shore.

While he was busy, a sharp-eyed soldier suddenly saw a corpse in the river flowing downstream. The corpse was hit by a tree stump, and slowly approached the shore, falling into the water and weeds, unable to move.

"Phew, bad luck." A young soldier ran forward to take a look, the corpse was obviously dressed as a soldier, and it should be a member of the Ji family.

An older soldier walked up, took a look, and shouted around, "Go find some scratch rods and get this floating corpse up." ”

The young soldier was puzzled: "Head, what are we doing with him, this is obviously from the Ji family." ”

"You know a fart, we are also boat runners, can you ignore this kind of thing, be careful and capsize the boat in the future." The old soldier scolded at his subordinates, his beard trembling with anger, "If you encounter this kind of thing in the future, you will have to catch it, whether he is friend or foe, find a pit and bury it, and accumulate some yin virtue for yourself, lest someone look for you in the middle of the night." ”

The young soldier muttered, obviously unconvinced, but he and a few of his companions hooked up the swollen corpse.

Finding a refreshing place on the shore, these people dug a pit, put the corpse in it, and said in their mouths, "Good luck, there are no taboos, but we will let you be buried in the ground, and you can't pester your brothers in the future." With that, he prepared to fill the pit with earth.

After just a few fills, the old soldier suddenly stopped a few people, pointed to an iron cylinder on the back of the corpse and asked, "Wait, look at this person's outfit is a bit like a messenger, by the way, what is this?" ”

Soon someone covered their noses and took the cylinder up. The elder soldier took it and shook it, and there was a clanging sound inside, indicating that the cylinder was well sealed, and the water did not enter it.

"Open it carefully." The elder soldier said to one of the people next to him, "There is no treasure in this." ”

Several people used knives to pry the cylinder open, revealing a ball of paper inside. When the paper was opened, the old soldier took a cursory look, and his face couldn't help but change suddenly.

In the tent of the coalition army, Lu Lie raised his somewhat tired face, and he no longer had the same vigor as he had just begun. Since the start of the army, the big tent has spent every day in noise. As the leader of the alliance, he not only had to formulate military strategies, organize rear supplies, but also coordinate the relationship between all parties, which really made him a little exhausted.

Qiu Lin Crane walked in angrily and threw his helmet on the table, "Lord Lu Alliance, my Qiu Lin family's Flying Tiger Rider has lost so much this time, I have to let others go up to top it in the south." The key is that Wu Gan, a traitor, did a good thing, and he brutally killed my 6,000 men. Later, the sons and daughters also went to see it, and this person's methods were extremely ruthless, and there were almost no corpses in the entire Jialin ditch. Lord Lu Meng, this person is from the Lu family, what do you say. ”

Lu Lie was also furious when he heard this, and in the past two days, news came back from his family that Wu Gen had rebelled against the water in the south, brazenly killed Lu Ben, and washed away the blood of the shadows planted in each family. Not only that, but he also fought back, directly killing the Flying Tiger Army on the southern front, and then the Lu family soldiers lost the cover of the Flying Tiger Army, and were killed by Yuan Xinchong.

At present, the southern front is all on the defensive. A large part of the reason why the coalition forces have stagnated in these two days is also due to the defeat on the southern front. This time, the people in charge of the six families were gathered here in order to coordinate the next step of the army.

"This two-surnamed house slave, sooner or later, I will break his body into ten thousand pieces." Lu Lie said viciously, turned his head and asked the young masters, Zhenfu and thousands of households in the tent: "Everyone, now that I have captured three cities, I will almost reach the boundary of Cold Land City in the future, how to use troops in the future, please discuss it." ”

The chaotic big tent suddenly became much quieter, Gu Yangsi and his own Zhenfu Gu dared to look at each other, and the latter immediately stood up, "Lord Lu League, although the southern front has suffered a small setback, but for our army, the overall victory is still a big victory, and the Ji family is losing and retreating.

At present, the layout of the Ji family is heavy in the south and light in the north, although the southern army is divided into two parts, but the overall situation is large, I mean that our army still takes the northern line as the main direction of attack, and then turns to the southern line after completely defeating the northern army, waiting for an opportunity to encircle and suppress the southern army. ”

"Not bad." Gu Yangsi shook the folding fan lightly, glanced at the people in the tent, these days, the coalition army should march into the plan is mostly proposed by him, "Wu Gan has always been slippery, this time he voted for the Ji family, I'm afraid it's more for Ji Ye's face." If you say how loyal he is to the Ji family, I don't think so.

This time, he attacked our coalition forces on the southern front, in addition to wanting to return to the north through the road, I am afraid that he also had the intention of directing our troops to the south, so as not to lose too much of his dreadnought army. Therefore, since I have the advantage of troops, a small defeat cannot shake the overall situation. It's better to hurt someone's five fingers than to cut off one finger, I still want to grasp the small magnification and annihilate the Northern Army in one fell swoop. And. ”

Speaking of this, Gu Yang Si paused slightly, "Compared to Ji Ye, I am more worried about Wu Gan, this person behaves perversely, does not confine to conventions, and has many surprising actions. And he is good at controlling soldiers, and he has many elite soldiers and fierce generals, which is really difficult to deal with. ”

Qiu Linhe said disdainfully when he heard this: "I feel that the ancient brother has destroyed his prestige a little, Wu Gan is a human race, even if he has some skills, it is difficult to turn the sky upside down." This time, our Flying Tiger Army was frustrated, but it was careless to hit its ambush, and if it was head-on, I was sure to capture and kill it. ”

"Ahem." Cangjia Zhen stroked Cang Yu and coughed lightly, "The northern army on the opposite side has merged, and we are still lingering here, and after a long time, I am afraid that there will be other changes." I agree with Gu Zhenfu's opinion, the direction of the existing troops remains unchanged, otherwise our army will adjust back and forth, which will not only easily cause chaos, but also make it more and more difficult to supply to the south.

Now that a lot of waste wood has been thrown away by the Ji family in the Xiao River, and the boats are not running smoothly, it is not easy for these hundreds of thousands of soldiers to eat and chew horses. It is necessary to take the northern army as soon as possible, capture the small cities along the road, and reach Hanlu City as soon as possible, force the southern army to the south of Hanlu City, and open up two supply lines by land and water.

Hanlu City is not easy to fight, the city is high and the walls are thick, I heard that there are formations in the city, I am afraid that I will not be able to fight for a while, I have to be prepared for a long-term siege, without sufficient supplies. ”

Lu Lie glanced at the other party, and said with a smile: "Cangzhen Fu rest assured, no matter how high the city is, it can't stand up to many people, and we can't say that there will be reinforcements when we arrive." What a few people said was very good, and it was better for our army to continue to attack the northern army, and completely eat up this force, so as not to quarrel like flies on the side. I don't know who would like to strike first.

Qiu Linhe lay back, leaned his head on the back of the chair, and said in a strange manner: "This time, my Qiu Lin family went out of the southern front with a lot of casualties, and I really don't have the strength to attack the northern army again." ”

Lu Lie was annoyed in his heart, this Qiu Lin family took the initiative to attack the southern front in order to grab merit last time, but his own subordinates couldn't do it, they were ambushed by Wu Gan, and they were beaten like that by a group of weak troops who had not been in the army for a long time, and they were embarrassed to lose their faces.

When he was indignant, Gu Yangsi smiled slightly, "Brother Qiu Lin's military horse has suffered some damage this time, and it has to recuperate, so it's okay, my Gu family is willing to take the position of forward." ”

Cang Yi also echoed on the side, "My Cang family is also willing to send troops." ”

Qiu Linhe was in a better mood, and suddenly turned his head to see Murong Yuqiang on the side, and couldn't help but sink his face, "This is a military discussion, some people can just go and see the granary baggage, they have nothing to do with powder, thrush, and lips, why do you need to come here to join in the fun." ”

Murong Yuqiang's face turned pale, "Qiu Linhe, your own soldiers are weak, and you have been beaten by others, so you don't want to take revenge on what kind of face you put here." ”

Qiu Linhe smiled coldly, "My family is weak, come on, come on, transfer your Murong family to try, let you see what a strong army is, don't cry and beg for mercy when the time comes." ”

"Qiu Linhe, I think you really want to die." Murong Yuqiang calmed down a little at this time, and ice cubes appeared on her fingertips.

"Forget it, don't fight here. Now there is an edict from Zhaoqin City that each family agrees to restructure, but I don't have six families, which shows that the Ji family and we have no room for peace. At this time, let's not fight among ourselves. Bahong looked sad and persuaded on the side.

"Hmph, brother, when will your remaining 10,000 troops be dispatched? We're almost in Cold Land City, and Yedi is already worry-free, so why stay there. Hill Crane sneered, completely ignoring the other party's affection.

Ba Hong's face sank, he wanted to be a peacemaker, but he didn't expect that Qiu Linhe didn't know what medicine he had taken today, and who he would catch and bite, "Yes, please ask Brother Qiu Lin to send someone to guard Yediyuan, and I will lead the Ba family to charge forward." ”

Seeing that the three of them were about to stiffen, Lu Lie was just about to say a few words to ease his cheeks, when suddenly there was a military report outside the door. The person who came put a cylinder on the handsome case and whispered a few words in Lu Lie's ear. Hearing this, Lu Lie hurriedly opened the cylinder and poured out a stack of papers from it.

Waiting for the paper exhibition to be opened on the desk one by one, Lu Lie glanced at it a few times, his face suddenly changed, and he quickly picked up the paper behind him and examined it carefully.

Gu Yangsi saw that something was wrong, got up and walked to the handsome case, gently picked up a piece of paper, glanced at it roughly, his expression suddenly became serious, and he turned his head to look, but he didn't speak.

Attracted by the strange behavior of the two of them, everyone gathered around for a while, and after reading these papers, Gu Yangsi took the lead in asking, "Lord Lu Meng, where did this secret letter come from." ”

Lu Lie frowned, and handed the paper in his hand to Bu Kuan on the side, "It was obtained by the soldiers from the floating corpses in the river, according to what they said, the dead corpses were dressed as messengers, and they fell into the river for some reason, if they didn't just salvage the sunken wood in the river, I'm afraid it would be difficult to find." ”

Gu Yangsi nodded, gently tapped the palm of his hand with the folding fan in his hand, and said as he walked: "The Northern Army sent a letter to Ji Ye, preparing to run a long distance and secretly attack our grain route, and even the map was drawn, and the farthest cut was to the east of Yediyuan.

Wu Gen wanted to use this to block us from going forward, disturb our rear, and damage our army's morale, hehe, but he didn't want to think about how many people he had to send to cut off my grain after running such a long way. ”

"A good soldier is enough." Bu Kuan suddenly opened his mouth and picked up a map from the handsome case, which clearly marked several important granaries on the supply line of the coalition army, and even the strength of the guards was roughly written, and several nodes that could be attacked were also marked.

Everyone is the one who leads the troops, and it is natural to see that this map is really detailed, and many small road coalition forces may not have mastered it, but the other party also indicates it, which makes people a little frightened.

"Since the other party is so familiar with the terrain, it is enough to avoid my scouts and sneak attack the granary guards." Bu Kuan smiled bitterly and glanced at Lu Lie, "What's more, Wu Gan has a righteous eagle army, equipped with danghu birds and flying shuttles, and it is easy to attack the grain road. ”

When everyone heard Bu Kuan's words, they all took a breath of cold air. Wu Gen has this sharp weapon, it is really possible to cut off the grain route of the coalition army, and at that time, the northern army will hold the city to defend the city, and the coalition army will not have enough food and grass, so it will not be chaotic without a fight.

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