"General. The land in the mountain village is expensive, in order not to compete with the living for land. Therefore, before the elders die, they will choose a cemetery for themselves. It's usually a very steep place. ”

"The ancestral grave in our village is in a cave. There are six mountains at the foot of Xingshi Mountain, which is very far away. The entrance is small, and people can only climb in. But there is no cave inside, and the cave extends in all directions. There is a legend that one of the lines can lead directly to the northern part of Heungshi Mountain. ”

"It's a legend. I've been up to Mt. Heungshi, but I haven't found an exit. ”

"It's possible that the exit is blocked by grass and trees."

Zhang Mutou said as he observed Wu Nian's expression. Still worried that Wu Nian would kill himself in a fit of rage.

Wu Nian narrowed his eyes slightly, this is really just a legend.

But.

Wu Nian stood up and walked out of the tent, and quickly came to the high place in the camp to observe the terrain of Xingshi Mountain.

Guan Jinhan followed closely and stood beside Wu Nian.

"General. Let's not talk about whether this is true or not. Even if it's true. The entrance of the cave can be covered by grass and trees, and it has not been discovered by Liu Pet. It shouldn't be big. ”

"That's it. Even if we send a thousand soldiers over, we need to line up to get out of the hole. ”

"Say it again. The mountain was almost occupied by Liu Pet's military camp. Out of the cave, we don't have much foothold. You can't wait for everyone to get out of the hole before attacking. ”

Guan Jinhan said in a deep voice.

"Hmm." Wu Nian bowed his head lightly in agreement.

The north side of Heungshi Mountain is high and the south side is short. High to the north are raised peaks. If Zhang Mutou is right, the cave is on the top of the mountain, and next to Liu Chong's military camp below.

They have no foothold. And if the entrance to the cave is small, you have to queue up. Once Liu Pet found out, he fired random arrows, and all of them had to die.

This matter, even if it is true, plays a relatively small role.

"But it's also a threat. For example. Suppose the hole is really connected. We chose to attack tonight. Let the two teams of men and horses blapp on the east and west mountain roads and pose as a night attack. The defenders who attracted Liu Pet gathered in the east and west. ”

"Then we sent troops into the cave and attacked from the north."

"There's a little bit of a chance of success. Isn't it? ”

Wu Nian narrowed his eyes, and a trace of essence flickered in them.

"But there is a high probability that it will fail." Guan Jinhan shook his head and said that he was not optimistic.

A smile appeared in Wu Nian's eyes, but instead of continuing the topic, he asked, "What do you think of this old man?" ”

"Money-grubbing people. And it is estimated that the heart is not correct. After Guan Jinhan thought for a while, he said disdainfully: "He said it himself, it was to seek wealth." Not the "righteous people" who want to help us. This proves that in his heart, we are no different from the Mengyuan people. ”

"And if we really use this cave, his ancestors are buried in the cave."

"We must have destroyed his ancestral grave. He didn't hesitate. ”

"Mostly a villain."

"That's right. That's what I thought, too. So is this possible? If I give him a bounty, let him go. Will he tell Liu Pet the news? ”

Wu Nian smiled, his eyes full of calculations.

"The general means. Lure Liu Pet out? Guan Jinhan heard the sound of the piano and knew the meaning of elegance, and his eyes lit up.

"That's right. Let's send someone to follow this old man to find out. If it's true. We gave him money and let him go down the mountain. Send someone to keep an eye on him. ”

"If he goes to tell Liu Pet again, he will get a second reward. After Liu Pet listens to it, he will definitely be moved. He might go out of the cottage and ambush me. ”

"After all, I've been hitting a wall in his hands continuously, and he should be full of confidence now."

"Of course. The old man doesn't necessarily go to the snitch. If the old man hadn't gone to the tip, we'd have carried out the plan. Launched a night attack, striking from east to west. ”

"It's not very likely to succeed, but it's better than a strong attack."

Wu Nian nodded and said.

"You can try." Guan Jinhan thought about it carefully and agreed.

The two glanced at each other and returned to the Chinese army's tent. Inside the account. Guan Jinhan and Wu Nian left all at once, Zhang Mutou was a little restless, but he didn't dare to stand up and walk around, and his face gradually turned pale.

He exhaled when he saw the two of them return.

"Don't worry, old man, I will do what I say. If he says he won't kill you, he won't kill you. However, the matter of rewarding money has to wait for the matter to be confirmed. I can give it to you. ”

Wu Nian saw that Zhang Mu was uneasy, so he was relieved. Then he said, "I'm going to send someone to investigate." You follow. If the matter is settled, you come back and receive the reward. ”

Zhang Mutou was not surprised, but breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't go deep into the cave to check the legend of this ancestor, let alone dare to.

It goes in all directions, and who knows where it leads, and if there are any ghosts?

This is a business, the real thing, there is money.

The legend is true that there is a reward.

Reasonable.

He prayed in his heart. "Ancestor, ancestor. I hope the legends you have passed down are true. ”

"Yes." Zhang Mutou bent down and said.

"Hmm." Wu Nian nodded, and immediately sent his own soldiers to take Zhang Mutou away and hand it over to the spies. That's the end of today's offensive.

Qianhu, who was in charge of the attack, led the troops back to the camp to rest.

Together with Guan Jinhan, he waited for news.

That's two days.

This afternoon. Wu Nian and Guan Jinhan were talking in the tent, and the soldiers said that the spies had returned with Zhang Mutou.

Wu Nian hurriedly asked his own soldiers to bring people in.

Soon. A spy walked in with Zhang Mutou, both of them looking happy.

Wu Nian saw the expressions of the two, and a stone in his heart also fell to the ground.

"Report to the general. That's true. The cave was open in all directions, and we explored it for two days. Two of the brothers almost died inside. A route has been found that leads directly to the north of Mt. Heungshi. ”

"It's just that there is a small part of the cave that only allows one person to move forward, and it is difficult to walk. The exit is also very small, allowing only one person to get out. Obscured by vegetation. ”

The spies bent down and reported truthfully.

"Good. You and your brother have worked hard. Let's all go down and eat and drink well, and suppress the shock. Wu Nian nodded and said soothingly.

"Yes." The spy clenched his fists in response, turned and went down.

"Good. This matter is confirmed. Old gentleman. On behalf of the Han people of Liaodong, thank you. Wu Nian stood up, bowed deeply to Zhang Mutou, and thanked him.

"Don't dare, don't dare." Zhang Mutou hurriedly said that he didn't dare, muttering in his heart. "What use should I be thankful for, the reward?"

Of course, Wu Nian didn't forget to reward the money, and turned his head to look at Guan Jinhan. Guan Jinhan nodded and got up and walked to the inner tent, and when he came out, he was holding a large silver ingot in one hand, which was one hundred taels.

Looking at the white silver, Zhang Mutou's eyes suddenly straightened.

Well, I've never seen such a big piece of silver, my son. It can last a lifetime.

Wu Nian took the silver, solemnly held it up in front of Zhang Mutou, and said in a deep voice, "Old man." ”

"Once again, I thank you. You revealed the news to me, not to the damn Meng Yuangou. ”

"You are a Han with a heart. Ancestors are above. I will bless your family and prosper. ”

Guan Jinhan narrowed his eyes, the general was really a good seduction. This is to lure this old man to tell Liu Pet the news.
