Mu Ying smiled bitterly when she heard this: "Your Highness is really going to be embarrassed to die." ”

"It doesn't matter, it's definitely going to be difficult for Brother Wen Ying, who is good at winning by surprise." Zhu Zhen was full of confidence in him, and asked again: "By the way, you just said that there is a multi-pronged approach, so at least there is one more way to say, right?" Otherwise, it should be said that it is a two-pronged approach. ”

"Your Highness is really fine." Mu Ying couldn't help but admire: "Yes, there is a third way, which is to fight the enemy because of food." ”

"Because of the food of the enemy?" Zhu Zhen said softly.

"Yes." Mu Ying nodded and said: "According to reliable intelligence, King Liang has been actively preparing for war in the past ten years, and he has hoarded a huge amount of grain and grass in Kunming, Qujing, Wusa and other places, which is enough for 200,000 troops to eat for a few years. ”

"As long as we can grab this grain and grass, even if we only grab a part of it, we don't have to worry." Zhu Zhen's eyes lit up. Speaking of robbery, then he is not sleepy

"That's right." Mu Ying said in a deep voice: "After conquering Yunnan, the army will be stationed for a long time, and it will be necessary to appease the people, and it is inseparable from this batch of grain and grass, so we must get it." ”

"Hmm." Zhu Zhen nodded, at this moment he could appreciate the great exploits of Mrs. Xiangxiang even more. Without the main road, Yunnan and even Guizhou could not really be included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

In this way, the group trekked through mountains and rivers, went deep into Wumeng Mountain for more than 200 miles, and arrived at Puding Fort, the destination of this trip, two days later.

This is the result of Aaron's familiarity with the terrain and the shortcut throughout the whole process, if he changed to a general guide, he would have to walk for two more days.

Led by Aaron, they climbed a high cliff and walked through the dense forest to the top. Aaron pointed ahead and said, "That's Fort Putting." ”

Zhu Zhen and Mu Ying saw that there was a deep canyon at their feet, and there was a flat-topped mountain opposite the canyon, and Puding Fort was built on the top of the mountain according to the mountain, guarding the only canyon passage at the foot of the mountain.

The two of them took out their binoculars at the same time and looked at the Putin Fort opposite. Aaron was curious, wondering what the copper pipe they were holding on to their eyes was for, but he didn't dare to ask.

"Brother Wen Ying, what do you think?" In fact, the sixth is just to see. Isn't it humiliating to get an axe in front of an expert?

"There is nothing unusual about this fort itself, it is a very ordinary fortress made of rocks and soil," Mu Ying commented with the eyes of an expert: "But the terrain it occupies is too good, the flat-topped mountain is almost straight up and down, there are only a few places to climb, and the defenders have also set up deer firewood, and it is indeed very difficult to attack." ”

"So it's understandable that the army in the east and west of the water returned before." Mu Ying sighed lightly and said, "It's not that they don't dare to fight, but they can't fight." ”

"Hou Ye is right, the strength of our Shuixi and Shuidong is stronger than that of the Puding Ministry, but we can't help this Puding Fort ......" Ah Long on the side said indignantly:

"If Danima hadn't built this fort for them, we would have given Fort Puding a long time ago."

"Hit your mother?" Zhu Zhen asked, "Whose name is so rude?" ”

"What he said should be that Liang Wang Pingzhang Darima, who led an army of 100,000 troops to garrison Qujing." Mu Ying said softly.

"Yes, yes, that's the person." Ah Long nodded vigorously and said, "My grandfather said that Shierna should have been ordered by him to kill the two of us Tho Mu." ”

"Grandpa Ling has finally come back to his senses?" Zhu Zhen was speechless and said: "People Darima have given Shi'er to repair the city, isn't this just to tell the world that the two of them have a leg, and your grandfather still dares to pry the two Tho Mu to go to the alliance, he is really not afraid of god-like opponents, he is afraid of ......"

"What are you afraid of?" Aaron asked.

"I'm afraid of teammates like your grandfather." Zhu Zhen threw the telescope to him, and said angrily: "Go and play, don't make trouble." ”

Aaron was quite unhappy when he heard him say that his grandfather, but once he took over the telescope, what did he care about grandpa? I ran to the side happily, and I was coming over to look at it in reverse, and I kept letting out oh oh exclamations.

"Let's move on." Zhu Zhen said to Mu Ying: "What if you come to attack this Puding Fort?" ”

"The fact that the native soldiers of Guizhou cannot be captured does not mean that our army cannot be attacked." Mu Ying said confidently: "If the last general leads our army, with the excellent quality of our soldiers, launching a surprise attack at dawn should be able to attack the city in one go." ”

"But if our army can be captured, it doesn't mean that the Guizhou native soldiers can be captured...... Zhu Zhen smiled bitterly: "Okay, let me ask like this, how about you to lead the Guizhou native soldiers?" ”

"In that case, you'll have to outwit it." Mu Ying said slowly: "With the understanding of these barbarian generals, they fight with blood, and there is no other way of fighting, just to fight and rush, and when it is smooth, it is unstoppable." But once it is frustrated, morale will be like boiling soup and snow, and the army will collapse all at once. ”

"That's right." Zhu Zhen nodded, the same is true for playing Little Japan, and Little Japan is also a barbarian, so it's all about the same.

"Therefore, it is necessary to come up with a clever plan, and as soon as you come up, you can take Fort Puding in one go." Mu Ying then said in a deep voice: "If you attack from a disadvantaged position, if it doesn't go well, you will repeat the rout of the last time." ”

"Yes, but that's not easy to say?" Zhu Zhen sighed and said: "I see that the gate of their fort is closed, and the city is densely packed with patrolling native soldiers, it seems that they have long been prepared for our sneak attack." ”

"Your Highness is right, the enemy army is indeed already prepared, and with their advantageous position, it is difficult for us to launch a surprise attack." Mu Ying nodded, looked at the sky and said, "Let's eat some dry food and rest first, and when it gets dark, I will touch it up close and observe." ”

"Okay, you must be careful, this king will not make a mess if he is clumsy." Zhu Zhen is very self-aware.

"Okay." Mu Yingxin said that this couldn't be better.

~~

At night, Mu Ying, under the leadership of Along, changed into night clothes and went into the canyon.

During the day, it was fine, but at night, the west wind came together, and the wind passed through the canyon, and when it met those remnant hills and peaks, it made a ghostly crying wolf howl, and the people who listened were terrified.

Mu Ying's subordinates all crawled out of the pile of dead people, they were not afraid of the sky and the earth, but they still had a chill down their spines, and they didn't dare to turn back one by one, lest there be any ghosts and ghosts following behind.

This made Mu Ying feel a little faceless, and it wasn't until he saw Ah Long on the side, trembling like chaff there, that he felt a little balanced. whispered: "Haven't you been wandering around Wumeng Mountain since you were a child, why are you still afraid of being like this?" ”

"Of course I'm not afraid of other places, but Lord Hou doesn't know," Ah Long tightly grabbed the corner of Mu Ying's clothes and said: "We have these tribes in Shuidong and Shuixi and Pudingpuli, all of which belong to the same Luodian country. The full name of Luodian Country is Luodian Ghost Country, and this is the ghost gate of the Ghost Country......"

After a pause, his voice trembled again: "This month is the ghost month of our Luo calendar, the ghost month and the ghost door are opened, and the ghosts come out of the world to beg for food." Can I not be afraid? ”

As he spoke, he saw a white shadow, scurrying past his eyes, and the frightened Aaron jumped up and was about to scream, but fortunately, Mu Ying's eyes were quick, and he slashed at the back of his neck with a palm, which directly stunned him, so he didn't make a sound.
