Chapter 456 - The Pure Plan
Ten miles outside the Meridian Valley, the cold wind was blowing, but it couldn't shake off the thick fog.
It was almost dawn, and the ground was covered with the cold wind, intertwining with the rising mist, forming an invisible barrier, hidden under this layer of mist, full of murderous intentions.
On the horizon in the distance, a trace of red halo rises, indicating that the morning sun is about to rise, the mist is slightly dispersed, and there are countless camps in the village, but there is only one tent among the villages, there are still lights, and the big curtain next to the tent is not blown up by the condensed cold spring breeze, but the word "Jin" on the big drum is very conspicuous.
The guards in front of this tent were not covered, and the heavy bags under their eyes could already see that they had not slept all night, but the killing intent in their eyes did not decrease at all, their eyes were burning, and they scanned the surroundings of the camp vigilantly, not letting go of the slightest sound...
Until there were several columns of soldiers patrolling the camp in front of him, the people in the camp seemed to hear the footsteps of the patrol, and then a heroic voice came out: "Okay, go and rest, you don't have to be so nervous, you don't believe it, Qi Yunjun has been frightened by our army's iron cavalry, where do you dare to attack at night."
The guards of the tent and the soldiers patrolling the camp all heard it sincerely, but they just looked back, and after saluting respectfully to the tent, they still did not slack off, and continued to patrol the camp and guard.
Xu was aware of the persistence of the soldiers outside the tent, and after a sigh, the curtain of the tent door was slightly lifted, and one person had already come out with his head held high, judging from his neat armor and golden helmet, he also had not slept all night.
The Golden Helmet General looked at the sky, his sharp eyes were full of regret and muttered: "Is this the Qi Yun Army that defeated you back then, it really disappointed the child, you blessed the child in the spirit of heaven, and you were ashamed of your defeat back then..."
While he was muttering to himself, several generals in the battalion were already coming quickly, and the golden helmet general noticed the people behind him, retracted his gaze, turned to the people behind him, knew that there was a military report, waved his hand to send the soldiers back, and reflexively entered the account.
The next general under the tent did not wait for the golden helmet master to sit down, and he was already impatient, ignoring the obstacles of the generals around him, and said: "General, the Qi Yun army has been defeated three times in a row, why don't we retreat?"
The chief general of the golden helmet was not annoyed by the questioning of the generals under the account, but his sharp gaze swept over the rest of the generals, and when he saw that no one dared to raise his head everywhere he looked, he retracted his gaze with satisfaction and slowly spoke to the general who questioned him.
"Our army has lost no more than a hundred people, and we have defeated the Qi Yun army and let them retreat into the Meridian Valley.
Seeing that the Golden Helmet General did not seem to be angry because of his questioning, but took a step forward, and the voice of the question was even louder: "The Holy Lord's will is to attack each other with false intentions, but in fact, he responds to Lord Lu Yan, but the general ignores the military order in vain and insists on fighting with the Qi Yun army, but why?"
Still spoke slowly in an indifferent tone before, but General Golden Helmet's gaze had gradually become cold: "Then with General Liu's intentions, what should our army do?"
The generals under the tent have already felt the killing intent permeating the tent, and some people have already wanted to go out to stop the questioning general, but when they saw the eyes of the golden helmet master for a moment, they had already retreated, and they didn't dare to step forward again, so they had to let that continue to speak.
"The last general thinks that the general should focus on the overall situation, and no longer fight with the Qi Yun army, stick to the walled gate and send scouts, and quickly find the whereabouts of Lord Lu." ap.
The Golden Helmet Lord General nodded slightly, as if he recognized the general's advice, and got up leisurely and said, "What General Liu said is good, the overall situation is important..."
As he spoke, General Golden Helmet paced down from the position of the main general, walked to the side of the generals, looked around, and asked, "But there are still people who have the same opinion as General Liu, so they can come now..."
Seeing that all the generals in the army bowed their heads and were silent, General Fang of the Golden Helmet smiled, looked back at General Liu and smiled: "General Liu, you see, although the general thinks that what you have advised is good, all the generals present don't think so..."
"Hmph, Chun Yufu, don't think that Liu doesn't know what you're thinking, others are afraid of you, Lao Tzu is not afraid, what you have thought in your heart for so many years is nothing more than to wash away the stigma of your defeated father in Changzhou, and you use 100,000 iron horses for favoritism..."
General Liu angrily reprimanded the golden helmet, but before the words fell, he found that he couldn't speak, only a gurgling sound in his throat, and when he looked down, he saw that a finger-wide blood hole had already been poked out of his throat, and blood was coming out of "poof" at this time...
With angry eyes, General Liu wanted to grab the golden helmet
collar, but unexpectedly, the other party had already retreated a little, as if he was worried that his blood would splash on his golden helmet... His hands fell into the air, General Liu was weak, and when his arms hung down, the whole person also fell to the ground.
The Golden Helmet General looked coldly at the blood on the ground in the tent, looked at the panicked generals around him, and said calmly: "I am very pleased, you still remember your father in your hearts... Yes, this time, the Holy One has a will, but the general is outside, and the military order is not affected... Our army's iron cavalry had already followed the order and responded to Lord Lu, but unexpectedly, Qi Yun's army had already detected the movement of our army and attacked with a large army, and our army had to fight with it."
Pacing calmly, General Golden Helmet observed the expressions of the generals, and his voice did not stop: "The generals also flocked to kill the enemy, and defeated Qi Yun three times in a row, but it is a pity that General Liu was wounded in front of the formation, and after returning to the camp, he was cowardly and afraid of battle, talking nonsense, and moving the hearts of our army... Tell me, yes or no?"
After Chun Yu finished speaking, his eyes swept over the generals in the tent, and wherever his eyes came, the generals opened their mouths to respond.
"What General Chun Yu said is good..."
"General Liu was frightened by Qi Yunjun, and we really saw it with our own eyes..."
"It's annoying General Liu, I'm afraid of battle before the battle, how can I be like my Jin Guo Erlang... Good general!"
Retracting his gaze, Chun Yu Fu smiled with satisfaction, turned around and spoke: "Your military merits, Chun Yu has sent someone to write down, on the day of returning to the court, Chun Yu will definitely play the court, and reward your merits... But if anyone talks too much..."
"General Chun Yu rest assured, we are the head of the general's horse...", the generals saluted in unison.
"Chun Yu Xingye, there are all of you advancing and retreating together, someone is coming-" Chun Yufu shouted loudly, and the generals in the tent trembled, and when he heard the order, several swordsmen and axe men and the clerks of the army had already walked in quickly.
Turning around and glancing at the generals' expressions, Chun Yufu sneered and said, "Write it down... General Liu was afraid of the war and disturbed the morale of the army, so he summoned all the generals in the tent to convict him and behead him in the tent!"
The generals, who were still a little selfish, saw that the clerk was recording everything in the account tonight at this moment, and they could only stop thinking and bow their heads one after another.
"Now that Qi Yunjun has retreated into Ziyang Valley, I think their reinforcements are already on the way... Where are the scouts?" Chun is sharp in the double eye.
The order was out of the tent, and the scouts had already walked in quickly, and the Lord would continue to command: "Order you to lead a thousand men around the Meridian Valley, and find out the movement of Qiyun's reinforcements within three days, and if there is no report for three days, come and see you!"
"Order!" The scout took the order and left.
Chun Yu looked outside the tent, the morning sun rose, the red glow has reflected the sky, Ziyang Valley has been far away, looking at the place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Chun Yu showed a trace of solemnity in his eyes, and reflexively spoke to the generals in the tent.
"Feng Chong!"
One of the tiger generals raised his head and replied, "The end will be!"
"Order the whole army to have breakfast, and in three hours, you will lead the five thousand troops to call for battle, remember... Once the Qi Yun army attacked, you can only lose, not win!" Chun Yu spoke in a deep voice.
"Command!" Feng Chong lifted the cloak behind him, and walked out with a tiger step.
The generals in the tent were still puzzled, but before they could ask questions, Chun Yufu had already moved to the sand table, searched for a moment with sharp eyes, and landed in a forest on the sand table...
"Shi Wolf... How far is this forest from where our army is encamped?"
"General, about fifteen miles."
"Okay, I order you to lead an army of 10,000 and leave immediately, go to this forest, and dig three feet into the ground before nightfall today, and dig a place for me to hide my soldiers." Chun Yu re-opened his mouth, and there was no doubt.
"The last will be ordered!"
"Tao Wu, Jiang Shang, Jin Kui!" Chun Yufu continued to order without stopping for a moment.
The three fierce generals had already come out of the ranks, clenched their fists and bowed their heads, and said in unison, "The last will be!"
Chun Yufu never left the sand table, and continued to speak: "The three of you each led 20,000 troops, and when Feng Chong was defeated, they pretended to rescue, but they were also defeated, lost more armor and horses, led Qi Yunjun to pursue, and waited for the ambush soldiers to immediately counterattack... The rest of the generals, follow me to lead the Chinese army to respond!"
"Order!"
The generals came out with orders, each performing his duties, and the light of the morning sun was sprinkled into the tent and was shining on the tip of the horse lance in his house.
sunlight warm,
The light is cold, and the sharp eyes are full of murderous intent...
——
Outside Yanbei City, Gu Xiao looked at the back of the patrol army facing the rising sun and was stunned, and his eyes that should have been happy when he got out of Yanbei did not see the slightest joy, but revealed a deep worry.
The cigarette pouch pot that had already met with Gu and Jiang outside the city was about to step forward to recall the young man's thoughts, but Jiang Ningxue on his side raised his hand to stop him, and then handed the reins of the horse in his hand to the cigarette pouch pot, and stepped forward lightly.
"Are you worried about them?" Jiang Ningxue had already seen the young man's thoughts, and said softly.
"Not only them, but also the people of Yanbei, if the Yanbei army is defeated and the iron cavalry of Jin goes south again, what kind of tragedy will it be..." The young man looked at the morning sun, remembering the strange celestial phenomenon he had seen in front of the Yunlai Inn before, which coincided with the time when the Jin army entered Qi, and secretly said in his heart, I am afraid that there are Zhitian masters in the Jin army this time.
Jiang Ningxue said suspiciously, "Do you think the Yanbei Army can't resist it?"
"There is a battle in the Yunlai Inn, even if the generals of the Yanbei battalion are not killed under the butcher's knife of the dead soldiers, they are also wounded, and that Gao Dengchu is in charge of Yanbei, although he is already the position of the commander, I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the people, although the Yanbei army is brave, the dragons have no leader, but I am afraid that they will fight for themselves..."
Jiang Ningxue thought of Qi Tao and asked again, "That... What King Ning can't suppress these soldiers?"
Miss Jiang's question seemed to remind Gu Xiao of the essentials of the art of war taught by the master in the Mountains of No Return when he was a child, and shook his head slightly: "Yun Gong... Although His Royal Highness King Ning is a prince, he is not General Wan after all, and what these warriors need now is not the royal family and nobles... After losing three battles in a row, what they need is a victory, a leader who can lead them to defeat the enemy head-on, and then they can restore their morale."
Looking at the young face of the young man with the sun shining on him, his eyes were gradually full of worry, which seemed to have made him a little tired, Jiang Ningxue was about to say something of relief, but he heard that he had already withdrawn his gaze and opened his mouth to himself and the cigarette bag pot.
"Miss Jiang, Brother Qixin, there is something Mu asking for right now."
"What?" Jiang Ningxue and the cigarette bag pot looked at the young man's firm eyes, as if he had a faint sense of what he was going to do.
"Lu Yan's whereabouts are important, not only because of Brother Yang... It's more about..." Gu Xiao hesitated, not knowing how to tell Lu Yan that he had discovered the Mountain of No Return, but he heard that Jiang Ningxue had stretched out his palm that was as slender as a spring onion and as white as jade.
"Give it to me." The fairy in white spit out two words lightly.
The young star's eyes were full of surprise, as if the woman in front of him had already seen through her own thoughts, and unconsciously spread her palms, and said curiously: "How do you know..."
"When you let Shan Bin go, you whispered a few words to him, he handed you the same thing, Brother Qixin is good at tracking, if you want to find Lu Remnant, you must need his belongings, I want to see what he handed you over." After finishing speaking, Jiang Ningxue's originally cold and piercing eyes actually revealed a little cunning, and she looked at the young man's slender palm.
It was a secret letter, a secret letter promising to seal the marquis, which was used by Lu Yan for An Danbin's heart, and he was lying quietly in the palm of the young man's hand at this time.
