The confrontation with the Manjiang rebels has lasted for two whole days, and the Manjiang rebels have never launched any offensive against the militia, but it has reached the point where people should eat and drink, and I feel that this battle seems to have nothing to do with them

Judging from the current situation, the best way is to respond to all changes without moving, you rest your we, we have to do it, no one will delay anyone, while there is no war, Gan Hui and some people continue to strengthen the defense of the camp, and the sound of the hammer hitting the wood echoes in the mountain stream, "ba."

g-ba

The 200 carts of planks were all used up in less than a noon, and the brothers deployed in the second line of defense used wooden sticks and steel knives to dig a road around the mountain, and the excavated soil was filled into the hillside and tamped with wooden hammers, so that the originally steep hillside became a wall of earth

In the past two days, Li Yang has been waiting for reinforcements from the direction of Mengding Mountain, Mengding Mountain is located on the north side of the rebel army, and Tian Qingshan is just in the west-north attack, as long as the reinforcements arrive, he immediately sends troops to cooperate with the reinforcements to flank the rebels in front of him, from Mengding Mountain to Tian Qingshan is at most half a day's journey, but it has been two days and has not seen the Ningbo army come to support, and the Ningbo army seems to be unable to count on him, so he can only pin his hopes on Sun Daren's side

In the early morning, the dark clouds in the sky have been connected, lightning splashed everywhere in the sky one after another, bursts of deafening thunder gradually approached from afar, "boom-click", with a gust of cold wind blowing through the sky, the thunder and lightning flashed from the sky with the rain, the sound of the "boom" rain was very loud, closed his eyes and listened, the whole person instantly relaxed, the torrential rain fell like a waterfall in the mountain stream and ditch, and the rebels on the opposite hillside were all gone, It is estimated that it should be where to run to hide from the rain, and look at this posture, neither side should launch any offensive today

As soon as it rained, the originally scorching weather became cold, the villagers held their weapons and trotted all the way back to their respective camps to avoid the rain, in fact, the camps were not much warmer than the outside, the villagers would use dead branches to raise a small fire in the middle of the camp, set up an iron pot on the fire to boil some boiling water to warm their bodies, everyone sat in a circle around the small fire and put their hands in front of the fire to roast the fire and chatted, the rain fell from the top of the camp tent drop by drop to the ground, In order to reduce the amount of rainwater seeping in, the villagers would cut down some branches with leaves and tie them neatly to the top of the tent to reduce the amount of water seepage

The rain fell for a whole day and didn't stop until the night, stayed in the camp for a day, as soon as the rain stopped, the villagers came out one after another, the air after the rain was particularly humid, everyone came out and did the first thing, almost all of them stretched out first, as soon as the rain stopped, it didn't take long for the light of torches and braziers flickering on the opposite hillside, it seems that the barbarian ginger rebels are back again, they actually lit the torches and braziers, then let's also light the torches-braziers in response, Li Yang and several leaders of the militia commented on the opposite side of the barbarian ginger rebels at the peak of Tian Qingtian

Gan Hui: This rebel army has been in a stalemate with us for three days, and it is still there to spend it with us without launching any offensive

Guan Meng: Maybe they're still waiting for us to attack

Ge Qing: It's not impossible

Qi San: I think the Barbarian Jiang rebels are trying to block us here

Ge Qing: Commander, why don't I take two battalions to call for a formation tomorrow to test the water?

Li Yang: If the barbarian Jiang people don't launch an offensive, then we will consume with them, I have already sent someone to ask Lord Sun for help, it is estimated that the reinforcements will arrive tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and when the reinforcements arrive, it is not too late for you to take people out to call for battle, you have to let your adults know how we fought this battle, so that you can have merit

Ge Qing: The Grand Commander's subordinates understand

Li Yang: How many days can Qi San's food be sustained on this trip?

Qi San: According to the previous plan, the Great Commander's food can last for about 20 days, but now there are 5,000 more barbarian Jiang people's food, which can last for about 10 days

Li Zuo: The rebels on the other side have not attacked us, could it have something to do with these captives?

Li Zuo's words can be described as a word to wake up the dreamer, the 5,000 barbarian Jiang people captured by us are likely to be the families of these rebels, the barbarian ginger rebels have been fighting with us for several days and have not taken any action, it makes sense, it turns out that the barbarian ginger rebels are concerned about the safety of their families, so they have not launched an attack on us, at this time Li Yang suddenly thought of a way to surrender without a fight

After returning to the camp, he asked people to invite Elder Manjiang over, and there were two Manjiang warriors who came with Elder Manjiang, Li Yang was also more enthusiastic and respectful to the elder and invited him to the seat, and the two Manjiang soldiers always stayed by the elder's side without a trace of fear, Li Yang didn't care too much about this, but personally gave the elder a cup of hot tea, and then he gave himself a cup of hot tea and made a gesture to the elder: Elder, please use tea, this is the best hair, you taste it

The elder picked up the teacup and put it in front of his mouth, blew lightly a few times, and then took a sip, only to see his eyes glaring slightly, and then took another sip: Well, good, good tea

Seeing this, Li Yang leaked a satisfied smile on his face: Elder forgive Li for being rude, what should I call you next

Elder: The old man's name is Najib, dare to ask what this young general is called

Li Yang hugged his fist and bowed to Hunaji: Elder Hunaji is the head of the Li family in Xia Alan County

Hunaji: Oh, it's the head of the Li family

Seeing that Li Yang was the only one in the tent, Hu Naji was wearing an ordinary cloth shirt, armor and saber hanging on a hanger on the side, seeing that Li Yang had no malicious intentions, Elder Hu Naji also let down his guard, he waved his hand out and asked the two barbarian Jiang warriors to wait outside

Li Yang: Elder Hunaji, I don't know if I, the townsmen of the militia group, have harassed your tribesmen, and if you tell me, I will be severely punished

Hunaji: The soldiers under the command of Yan Ming, the commander of the Li family, did not harass our tribesmen

Li Yang: That's good, Elder Hunaji, do you have any places where you need our help?

Hu Naji is also a straightforward person, seeing that I am so polite to him, there must be something wrong: Master Li, you don't have to go around if you have anything to say

Li Yang: Elder Hunaji, then I'll be straightforward, although I don't know why the barbarian Jiang people rebelled, but I want to stop this war, no matter what the outcome of this war is, many people will die because of it, and their parents, brothers, sisters, wives and children are all people who need their care

After hearing this, Hunaji not only sighed: "Master Li, you are a kind-hearted person, but this war cannot be stopped just if you want to stop it."

Li Yang: Elder Hunaji's things are man-made - where there is a will, there is a way, if you want to stop this war, you have to do it first, even if the chance of success is very slim, if you don't do anything, just blindly resign yourself to fate, then you can't stop this war

Hunaji: It's easier said than done, and to be honest, like you, I want to stop this war, and I don't want to see my people die in the war

Saying that, he shook his head sadly, "Hey", but what can be done

Although I didn't have a previous friendship with Elder Hunaji, I shared the same views with him about this war, and it was much easier to do it: Elder Hunaji, I have a way to try

Hunaji: Then please ask the head of the Li family to teach you

I have to fool him, lest he think that we are at a disadvantage in the current war, but take a hand: now there is an opportunity to stop this war, Captain Hunaji will tell you honestly, there is a remnant of the coalition army surrounded by your people in the area of Lion Rock, I want to use your tribesmen to exchange the remnants of this coalition army, so that not only can the soldiers of the coalition army be saved, but also your tribesmen can be safely reunited with their families, which is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone

Hunaji is not a fool either: the Li family master used us to exchange the remnants of the coalition army back, so that you have enough troops to continue the war against the barbarian Jiang people

Li Yang: Elder Hunaji, don't be in a hurry to listen to what you say, with this opportunity, we have a chance to stop this war, like these people under us are not willing to fight this war, it is the officials and men above who want to fight, and the children and innocent people who die in the war are all other people's children and innocent people, but when it comes to meritorious deeds, you can get benefits because of the officials above, you said that I am right

Hunaji: "Hmm" is such a reason

Li Yang: Elder Hunaji used your tribesmen to exchange the remnants of the coalition army, I am also thinking about you, tomorrow and tomorrow, there will be a reinforcement of about 10,000 people in the direction of Tiantai Prefecture to support, I can control my subordinates and not attack and disturb your tribesmen, but I can't control the reinforcements that come here, what will happen to women in the war, I believe I don't say it, you can also think of it, when the reinforcements arrive, the big war will be on the verge of breaking out, even if it is a real fight, even if one is exchanged for a barbarian ginger man, more than 10,000 people will have to die, If we fail, Zhejiang will send reinforcements one after another until the rebellion is completely quelled, and the war will only make each other more hostile to each other, and more people will die as a result

Hunaji: Can you get the idea of such a big thing?

Li Yang: Although Elder Hunaji Li has a cloth cloth, he can indeed hold thousands of militia groups, so there must be something special about me, if Elder Hunaji can agree to this, I will explain this matter to the prefect as soon as he arrives

Hu Naji: Although the head of the Li family doesn't know what the result is, the old man is willing to give you a go, but before this, the head of the Li family, you have to show some sincerity that can convince us barbarian Jiang people, tell you this, the old man doesn't distrust you, but he doesn't believe the officials above you

Li Yang: Elder Hunaji, you see if this will work, if I choose a few of your soldiers to be my personal guards, if I have bad intentions, if he does not allow this after the prefect arrives, I will also let you go back to reunite with your family, you see if this is sincere enough

Hu Naji put his hands on his chest and gave a thumbs up: The Li family is really fast, so let's make a decision

At dawn, the rebels were still facing the militia on the opposite hillside as usual, and the entire Tianqingshan camp was almost built during the stalemate with the rebels, in order to make the Tianqingshan camp have a better effect against the enemy, Gan Hui took more than 100 villagers to cut down trees on the mountain and began to make horse rejection piles, according to the plan, 4 layers of criss-cross horse rejection piles will be arranged outside the first line of defense, which will play a role in slowing down the enemy's offensive and help the archers shoot the enemy. The villagers deployed in the second and third lines of defense were not idle and continued to dig the winding mountain road

Seeing that it was about to be noon, an army appeared on the big fan mountain behind Tian Qingshan, when the person came to report, Li Yang took a closer look at the big fan mountain, wasn't it the coastal defense battalion, and saw that Lord Sun was going down the mountain with Brother Long, and Brother Zhao-Brother Quan-Brother Su-Hengqi-Kangze-Zenuo also came, so he hurriedly took a few commanders to the mountain to greet the prefect and several brothers

As soon as he arrived at the bottom of the mountain, Li Yang hugged his fist and bowed to Sun Yuanwu: Student Hongting has seen the prefect

Several commanders behind him also followed suit, "We'll see the prefect later."

Sun Yuanwu wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve: No need to be polite

Li Yang happily hugged Long Chuan and the others: Brothers, brothers, I have a bottom in my heart

Long Chuan: As soon as we heard that you were in a tight war, we all came over

Brother Zhao: You can tell us a little more about the current situation

Brother Quan: Even if the war doesn't go well, how can the commander of the coalition army still be captured by the rebels

Li Yang made a gesture of please towards the mountain: Please come with me to the big tent first, and I will talk to you in detail for a while

Then Li Yang led the adults and several elder brothers to the mountain, and he himself slowed down and came to Hengqi-Kang Ze and Ze Nuo: Uncle, why are you and the coastal defense battalion here

Hengqi: Taizhou Mansion really has no extra troops, this time the reinforcements have only come a total of 2,000 people, and our coastal defense battalion accounts for half of them, and the remaining half is forced to come out of the county garrison checkpoints

Li Yang leaned his head to Hengqi's side and lowered his voice: In the past few days, my brothers and I have been sticking to this Tian Qingshan refusing to fight, so far the militia has injured more than 100 brothers and they have been asked to go back to Alan County to recuperate, this is not the case, I immediately sent someone to ask Lord Sun for reinforcements

Hengqi: Yes, you have to do it, before you came, my sister was still clamoring to come with me, but I stopped you from going on a journey these days, and she didn't worry about you a lot

Li Yang: Brother-in-law is not afraid of your jokes, and I miss her a lot these days

Hengqi: Leave a few of us alone, go and greet Lord Sun

Li Yang: I'll go over first, brother-in-law

Hengqi slapped his hand on my back, "Let's go", so I quickly chased after him, and saw that Lord Sun was holding his shirt with both hands, and it was difficult to walk, so I hurriedly stepped forward and supported his arm with both hands: My lord, this mountain is steep, you should slow down

Sun Yuanwu nodded slightly and replied, "Hmm"

After arriving at the peak of Tianqing Mountain, Li Yang invited Lord Sun and his party and several leaders of the militia to the big tent, the furnishings in the camp tent were very simple, only a square table and a dozen wooden piers, and the square table was covered with a map of Chang Weiguo and a few small wooden gada, Lord Sun, as the highest commander, he naturally had to sit on the main seat, and Longchuan-Brother Zhao-Brother Quan-Brother Su and others sat around the square table in two circles

Sun Yuanwu: Hongting, tell them about the war situation

Li Yang hugged his fists and bowed, "It's an adult"

Then he put his hand on the map: the main force of the coalition army was defeated in the area of Huangguling, the commander of the coalition army, Meng Ang-Gongzi Mengying, was captured by the rebels, and the Taizhou army and the Shaoxing army led by General Yuan Bin were surrounded by the main force of the rebels in the area of Lion Rock after the defeat

As he spoke, he put a few small wooden bumps on the map, "The Taizhou Army still has 2,000 troops deployed in the area of Turtle Mountain, 2,000 Shaoxing Army deployed in the area of Longtan Mountain, and 5,000 Ningbo Army deployed in the area of Mengding Mountain north of Tianqingshan.

When Long Chuan heard this, he became angry on the spot: Brother Meng, if he uses our brother's life to save his brother, why didn't he say that he would rescue Yuan Bin and the remnants of the Shaoxing Army first, Li Yang, you kid didn't make a mistake this time

Brother Zhao: The Three Governments Coalition used a total of 20,000 troops on this expedition, and more than 10,000 main forces of the coalition were defeated by the rebels

Sun Yuanwu took a breath and tapped his hand: Listen to him finish his words first

Li Yang: Now there is a 10,000-strong Barbarian Jiang rebel army stationed on the hillside opposite Tian Qingshan, they have been in a stalemate with the militia for five days, but they have never launched an attack, and the brothers have also taken advantage of this time to build Tian Qingshan into a three-story camp, I have sent people to Mengding Mountain to ask the Ningbo army for reinforcements, as long as the Ningbo army can attack from the north, it can form a west-north flank attack on the rebels, but there is no trace of reinforcements until now

Long Chuan: In the mountain stream, the army cannot open up a position and can only fight hand-to-hand combat, which will be a fierce battle for both sides, and judging from the topography of Tian Qingshan, the side that attacks first will be at a disadvantage

Sun Yuanwu: Then how do you think this battle should be fought, whether to eat the rebels on the opposite hillside first, or send troops to the Lion Rock area to rescue Yuanbin and them

Long Chuan: The last general thinks that the remnants of the Taizhou Army and the Shaoxing Army should be rescued first, so as to consolidate the defense in the area of Turtle Mountain-Longtan Mountain-Mengding Mountain-Tianqingshan and then fight

Sun Yuanwu: Coincidentally, Hongting's view is exactly the same as yours, who is in charge of the Taizhou army in the area of Turtle Mountain now

Li Yang: I don't know about this student

Sun Yuanwu: Zhao Garrison - Full Garrison You work hard for two times, and take 500 people to take over the defense of the Turtle Mountain area

"It's an adult"

Sun Yuanwu: General Long-Hongting rescued the remnants of the Taizhou Army and the Shaoxing Army, how many troops do you need to use?

Longchuan: The Great People's League is under the watchful eye of the rebels, and they will not let reinforcements reach the Lion Rock area easily

Sun Yuanwu: Is there no salvation for the remnants of the Taizhou Army?

Li Yang: Adults and students have a way to rescue General Yuan and them without spending a single soldier

Sun Yuanwu: Then you can talk about it

Li Yang: The adults and students captured 5,000 barbarian ginger people before, and the students wanted to use these 5,000 barbarian ginger people to exchange General Yuan and them back

Long Chuan: This is a good idea, so you can try it

Sun Yuanwu: The solution is good, but who should be sent to be this envoy?

Long Chuan: If you can save General Yuan without blood, you will be willing to go

Li Yang: My lord, this is absolutely unacceptable

Long Chuan: Why can't I?

Li Yang: Brother Long has an official position, once the rebels cheat, wouldn't it be another hostage

Sun Yuanwu: Well-what Hongting said is reasonable

Ryuchuan: Then who should be sent?

Li Yang: Adults and students are a cloth cloth, even if the rebels detain me, it is of no great use to them, the ancients and the two armies do not fight and do not fight, with the students' three inches of unchaotic tongue should not be a big problem

When Sun Yuanwu heard this, he raised his head and laughed, "Haha, then you will be the messenger of Hongting."
