Chapter Seventy-Nine: Waiting

A caravan with dozens of carts slowly marched towards the road, and after a long march, night slowly fell.

At this moment, Liu Ye, who was sitting in the carriage, lifted the curtain from time to time and looked outside.

"Strategist, it's getting late, do you want to set up camp on the spot?" At this time, Liu Jie rode a war horse to the side of Liu Ye's carriage and asked in a low voice.

Dressed in leather armor and hanging a long sword at his waist, he is majestic. At this moment, Liu Jie really has a bit of the momentum that a general should have,

"Yes. Since it's getting late, let's camp on the spot just in case. Liu Ye retracted his gaze and replied softly.

"No." After Liu Jie answered, he immediately turned his horse's head and commanded the soldiers to camp in the open space next to him.

Of course, Liu Ye's carriage also stopped, and after the carriage stopped, Liu Ye stepped out of the carriage and looked at the surging river not far away. This was their first night out of Wujia Village.

It stands to reason that it is also the best place to attack, and it must be clear tonight.

This time, Liu Ye brought Liu Jie's headquarters soldiers and horses. Soon, Liu Jie set up a fairly standard military camp next to it, with many military tents in the barracks, and a wooden fence on the periphery as protection.

After the barracks were set up, Liu Ye was invited to live in the big tent of the Chinese army. After eating under the service of the soldiers, Liu Ye sat for a while.

He raised his head and instructed the soldiers guarding outside the camp tent: "Call Liu Gui over." ”

"No." The soldier guarding the door immediately responded, and then there was a sound of footsteps, and he gradually walked away.

Not long after, Liu Gui walked in, with a solemn look on his face.

"Why did you summon me?" After Liu Gui entered, he bowed to Liu Ye.

"It's not a big deal." Seeing his solemn expression, Liu Ye couldn't help but smile and say. Then Zhengse said: "Today's camp here is an excellent ambush ground, and the bandits are likely to attack at night, so you must be cautious when you go into battle for the first time." ”

Liu Gui hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "My lord, please worry that if the thieves dare to come today, they will definitely not come back." ”

"Okay, go outside and see if there's anything overlooked." Liu Ye smiled and then said

"If" Liu Gui replied and went down.

Tonight, Liu Jie and Liu Gui were responsible for inspecting the entire military camp, but there was nothing to do with Liu Ye, Liu Ye smiled lightly and fell asleep peacefully. However, to Liu Ye's surprise, even at dawn, they did not encounter the imaginary attack.

The sky was still bright, but Liu Ye had already gotten up early, looking at the excessively quiet camp outside, he couldn't help muttering: "Could it be that this bandit was frightened away by my 1,000-strong army?" Or is it that none of the people in the village are bold enough to tell the truth? This shouldn't be likely, right? ”

Liu Jie and Liu Gui took people to inspect the military camp until dawn last night, and at this moment, Liu Ye couldn't help but feel a little dignified when he saw the thick tiredness on their faces.

"Strategist, could this bandit be that they were frightened by our army, so they didn't dare to come?" Liu Jie asked very tiredly

"General Liu, we didn't encounter an attack last night, but they didn't come without a watch. In today's case, there are no more than three cases. Liu Ye replied very solemnly when he heard this

"Oh, what three cases." Liu Jie couldn't wait to ask

"First, the people in the village are really kind-hearted, and no one went to tell the whistle, so the bandits naturally didn't receive the news."

"I don't think it's very likely, after all, our team is so eye-catching, how can the bandits make a living by robbing all year round without ears and eyes to deliver news." Liu Gui on the side said with certainty

"Well, your analysis is very reasonable, and I don't think it's very likely. The second is that, as General Liu said, the bandits may have been afraid of our army, so they didn't take the bait. Liu Ye continued to analyze

"It's a possibility. And what is the third one? Liu Jie asked

"The third situation is that the bandits are as cunning as foxes, they realize that our defense is very strong, and the success rate of night attacks is not high, so they simply give up the night attack, and because we have not encountered a night attack, they have relaxed their vigilance. They can take advantage of our vigilance to sneak attack, and their success rate is much higher. ”

Thinking of the last possibility, Liu Gui and Liu Jie glanced at each other, and they both felt that it was very tricky.

"What the military advisor said is reasonable."

However, even so, Liu Ye and the others had no intention of giving up. In troubled times, there will always be various situations and unforeseen situations when leading troops outside.

If it's just because of a small change, it's difficult. And change the purpose that you have already planned. Such a person may be a qualified general, but he will definitely not become a generation of famous generals.

Sometimes, the more dangerous it is, the more courageous it is to complete it, so that you can take advantage of the momentum.

Liu Ye glanced at Liu Jie, Liu Gui and the others who were tired, and said very firmly: "Let the soldiers who patrolled the night last night rest for an hour before we set off." ”

"No." Liu Jie didn't have the slightest opinion when he heard this, there were as many as 200 soldiers patrolling the barracks last night, and if he chose to set off at this time, it would undoubtedly increase unnecessary risks. Taking a break for an hour is the best way to adjust.

At this hour, Liu Ye replaced Liu Jie and the others to patrol personally.

His face seemed very calm, but his heart was up and down, if there was an ambush, it must be today. After all, their convoy was about to leave the boundary of Jade Mountain.

Liu Ye's eyes involuntarily fell on Liu Jie's army of 1,000 people, according to him, this army has achieved the ultimate in Lujiang Army in terms of daily food support, training, or courage.

Although Liu Jie said this, Liu Ye didn't know the details, after all, he had never seen the actual combat ability of this army. It's a donkey or a horse, and if you pull it out today, you'll naturally know if it's good or bad.

An hour passed quickly, and Liu Ye ordered the military tent to be dismantled and the whole army was opened.

This time, Liu Ye's carriage was no longer in the lead, but was surrounded by a thousand guards walking in the middle. The one who took the lead was replaced by Liu Jie, the boss of the army.

However, this does not mean that Liu Ye will not pay attention to the situation outside, he keeps lifting the curtain to check the movement outside. Until the team marched to a more remote place.

On the left is a dense forest, and on the right is a rolling river

At this moment, the sky is already bright, and under the scorching sun, the earth exudes a warm atmosphere.

"This area is really remote, if there is really an ambush, I'm afraid it is here." Liu Jie rode his horse to the forefront, his expression was very solemn, he didn't dare to relax at this moment, otherwise their group might suffer a catastrophe.
