In fact, before Zhang Chong sent out the army, he did give Liang Fu's Li Damu and Yu Banbu military orders, ordering them to prepare grain and grass. But Zhang Chong didn't say when he would come, and this Yu Ban was able to receive them, which shows that his heart is as careful as a hair.

How did Yu Ban do it?

He arranged a total of ten sentinels along the way, one team of four people, and waited for Hou Zhang Chong to arrive. These are teams of four, one shift of two people. Yu Ban ordered them, if they met someone who called for the army, they could only go out of one shift at a time, and the remaining two must lie in the grass.

Yu Ban was also worried that he would encounter enemy soldiers, so this arrangement was that in case the two people who showed up in the front class were killed, the two people who were hiding in the darkness could still bring back the information. If all goes well, then keep lurking.

From this, it can be seen that there is really a reason why Yu Ban can be the number one general with the surname Cao Wei in another world.

That night, Zhang Chong, who stayed in the forbidden camp, praised the camp for being strict and solid. Originally, Li Damu in the city was also going out of the city to greet him, but he was stopped by Zhang Chong and asked him to hold the city.

On the fifth day of the first month of March, in the morning light, Zhang Chong, who had been repairing all night, left behind the wounded, and then continued to run to the northwest with 780 horsemen and 1,100 horses.

They walked along the northernmost ridge of Mengshan Mountain, and then garrisoned behind a cliff called Hulu Cliff to rest. The soldiers ate some cold corn balls for themselves, and then fed their horses fried beans. A man can be bitter, but this horse cannot be bitter at all.

In the interval of rest, the horses in front also returned, saying that on the plain between the two mountains in front, there was a large dock wall lying there, which happened to block the passage of their southward passage to Surabaya.

Zhang Chong called for a guide, who had met a woodcutter on the mountain road and exchanged a stone of millet for them to show them the way.

The guide is a swarthy old man, although he looks big, but his legs and feet are still convenient, and then he asked his age and said he didn't know. Also, after all, a few people in the mountains know their age and know what the use of that is.

When the guide was brought over, Zhang Chong asked him if he knew the dock wall in front of him.

The guide had lived here for so long, and if you asked him who the emperor was and where he lived, he might not know, but if you were to say who the owner of the dock was, he would know too well. The firewood he collected was sold to their families.

I saw that the guide said to Zhang Chong in an envious tone:

"This wall is called Webster's Wall, and the family is powerful! There are herds of cattle and horses at home, and they eat the leftover swill every day, and the pigs in the wall can't finish eating, and sometimes they can get some while waiting there. It's a big man."

But Zhang Chong wanted to continue to ask about the origin of this family, and this person couldn't say it, but said repeatedly, this family is good, and there is occasionally meat in the swill, and they also let these inferior people open meat. Just as Zhang Chong stopped, the Qiao Cai remembered again and added:

"This ancestor was a prime minister, and the tomb was built on the east side of their dock wall, and I don't know how many generations have been buried inside, and it is all graves."

This is still news, at least let Zhang Chong know that there is a strong family in front of him.

But what Zhang Chong didn't know was that what stood in front of him was not an ordinary hero, but the Zou Cheng Wei family of the Zou Lu Confucian family who laid the current pattern of scripture and learning.

His ancestors Wei Xian of the former Han Dynasty and Wei Xuancheng father and son were both officials to the position of prime minister because of their knowledge of Confucianism and Ming Jing, especially Wei Xuancheng once participated in the Shiqu Pavilion Conference during the reign of Emperor Xuan, which was another far-reaching academic conference held by the Han Court after Dong Zhongshu deposed the hundred schools and respected Confucianism alone. It can be said that this conference laid the pattern of the current classics, such as the "Book of Shang" of Xiahou Biography was designated as the official version of this meeting. It can be seen that the weight of Merriam-Webster at that time. ….

Later, the folk song of Qilu was sung: "The widow is full of gold, it is better to teach the son a classic". It's their family. After the Wei family passed to this dynasty, the family still has a good reputation, and there are more than ten people in the clan who are 2,000 stones, which is a big family in the Lu country.

But no matter whether Zhang Chong knows the background of the owner of this dock wall, it does not prevent Zhang Chong from knowing the importance of this place.

The location of Lu's wall is just in a mountain basin that is tens of miles long, it is Chengxian in the east, Wenyang in the north, and mountains and hills on both sides, which are inaccessible, let alone marching to the army. If you want to go to Surabaya to attack the Lu soldiers stationed on the east bank of Surabaya, this is the only place

One way. And because this place is so important, Zhang Chong suspects that the Lu State must have built a sentry post or a horse exploration here.

Then Zhang Chong ordered the sentry to explore again, and sure enough, he found a small stone on the south side of the dock wall, and the flag was from the Lu country.

Now things are difficult to do, if you fight, not to mention how their cavalry will lay down this kind of fortification, just say that it is defeated, and the Lu soldiers on the east bank of Surabaya will also be vigilant, and the military strategy of the surprise attack on the Lu soldiers will be bankrupt.

For a while, Zhang Chong was in a dilemma, so he ordered all the military officials to gather with him to discuss what to do next.

There were twenty or thirty officers of the Turked Cavalry, and the hedgehogs were gossiping on the side of Zhang Chong, and some said that they rushed directly over. Some say go a little farther away. It is also said that the direct division of troops to attack, and then intercept and kill the letter newspaper heading to Surabaya in the west. But Zhang Chong felt that it was not stable enough.

On the contrary, Li Bi did not speak among the military officials. Zhang Chong knew that he had a plan, so he asked him about his strategy.

Li Bi was silent for a while, and said:

"There is no soldier who is not dangerous. If you want everything to win, it's impossible. Therefore, sometimes victory also depends on the number of days, but we naturally cannot pin all the hopes of victory on the illusory number of days, so it is also very important to plan for the general. This time, Webster's Wall blocked the road, and it didn't happen overnight, and it stands to reason that when he carried the flag and visited the sentry before, he should have reported this matter to Qu Kui. So that we can take it into account when we are planning......

He also wants to say here that he was immediately stopped by a hurried cavalry general, this general is called Duan Zhi, who is a member of the Xue family, the earliest member of the cavalry general, and one of Zhang Chong's old brothers. He rebuked:

"It's all this time, what's the use of talking about that? If you have something to say, say it quickly."

Li Bi is still young in the end, and he used to be a self-contained Yishan Koukui, and he is used to reprimanding people. So unconsciously, I lost the point of speaking. This will be reprimanded by the Yuan Cong General in the Turquoise Cavalry Army, and then looking at the frowning brows of the surrounding military officials, as well as the worried and tangled expression on his brother's face, he immediately realized that although what he said just now was not wrong, it was out of place.

Li Bi immediately corrected and said directly:

"Qu, I mean that I can stealthily pass through the northern side of Merriam-Webster in the middle of the night, and then march hastily, and launch a direct attack on the Lu soldiers on the north bank of Surabaya in the early morning of the next day."

As he spoke, Li Bi painted on the ground, first drawing a large square meaning Webster Dock Wall in the middle, then drawing a circle on the east side of it, meaning Webster's group tombs, and finally drawing a small square on the south side of Webster's Wall, which means a small wall standing on the Lu State. ….

This made some of the original military officials who had no sense of space understand what Li Bi meant.

Seeing that everyone agreed with this strategy, Zhang Chong clapped his hands and ordered:

"That's it. After a while, the whole army found a shelter to rest, and then set off at the time of the child, sneaking through the Merriam-Webster Wall. From here, the enemy position on the east bank of Surabaya is about thirty miles, and if it goes well, we will surprise the enemy at the beginning of the day. If it doesn't go well, then do your best and look at the destiny of heaven."

The people will be commanded and praised.

Then the Taishan army suddenly rode to find a shelter, and then waited silently for dark. And no one knows whether this sneak trip will be successful.

------------------------

On the same day that Zhang Chong left the forbidden camp, that is, on the fifth day of the first month of March, Chen Qi, the prime minister of Jibei, also raised 4,000 troops down the Wenshui River to attack the Ding Sheng Department of Bo County.

Jibei Prime Minister Chen Qi stopped at Snake Hill on the second day of the first month of March, in other words, he only stopped at Snake Hill for only three days, and then he led 4,000 troops to attack with great vigor.

On the one hand, it can be seen. The grain, boats, and ships needed for the expedition of 4,000 could not be dispatched at will, but Chen Qi benefited from his excellent shogunate team, especially Dai Qi, Fan Zhao, Xu Yan, Xia Yin, and Liu Bin, who were called the Five Dragons of Jibei, all of whom were able to plan and praise paintings, and kept the matter of raising money and food in order.

On the other hand, it also shows how enterprising Chen Jue, the prime minister of Jibei, is. It seems that his people really hope that through this thief's work, the impact of his uncle Chen Qiu's incident on the family will be washed away.

When the troops were sent out on the Wenshui River, the boats were connected, the rafts were innumerable, and the flags of each family and the commanders of each department were hung on each ship, "Chen", "Dai", "

"Pan", "Xu", "Xia", "Liu", "Zhang", "Li", "Zhou", "Xing", the banner is swept up, gathering the essence of the northern country.

This is indeed the most pompous and unprecedented gathering of troops in Jibei in recent decades. Thanks to the trust in Chen Qi, the children of each family brought their own troops and enthusiastically joined the army. Now alone, there are eight families of all ethnic groups who have gone out on this expedition, or 200 troops, or more than 100 troops, plus 2,000 veterans of Jibei Kingdom, and finally gathered an army of 4,000.

This is still because the king of Jibei did not agree to Chen Jue's request, and did not lend his palace fighting sword warrior to Chen Jue, otherwise this army would have to be half a point again.

At this time, Chen Jue, who was sitting on the big ship, was sitting on the ship to feast on the generals and the sons of the heroes, and there would be the sons of the heroes who were singing the praises of Chen Jue Xingwang by toasting, leading the righteous brigade to fight the thunderous blow, and the passing would be powder.

And Chen Jue, who was sitting at the top, stroked his long hair, although he was modest, he couldn't hide his complacency. It is also true that with 4,000 elite soldiers, he should be just a thief with less than 1,000 people, how can he lose?

That's not going to lose.

Don't tell him anything about defeating the strong with the weak, and don't tell him anything about the enemy being the elite. What if the weak can defeat the strong? That soldier who still has a fart, as for you saying that the enemy is elite? Isn't my son-in-law? 4,000 elites fight 1,000 elites, no matter how you fight, it's a win.

So in this praise song after another, the banquet reached its climax. Only one person sitting in a corner, through the side of the boat, looked at Ding Fu, who was silently winning grain on both sides of the Wenshui River, and sighed:

"The people are miserable!"

Please call me Mr. Chen
