[481] Take advantage of people's danger
A cool wind blew from behind her, causing the hair that fell from the ears of the nodding nude to lift forward suddenly.
"Princess, please. Li Mu saw that the female was not in a hurry or impatient, and thought that the other party had already made a plan, but this door was full of ghosts, and it was not a good place to discuss strategies, in case someone slipped his mouth and spread the plan. So he turned sideways, so that the curtain behind him appeared in front of the woman: "We are talking inside." ”。
After nodding her head, she turned her head slightly and said to the two maids in swords and armor who followed her, "You guys are waiting outside." Then he walked slowly towards the tent where the curtain had been raised by the soldiers guarding the tent.
Li Mu followed, and the soldiers holding the curtain lowered it.
The conditions of the border fortress are difficult, and the army is stationed in the wilderness outside the city, so the furnishings in the large tent of the Chinese army of Limu, who commands the army, are also extremely simple.
Except for the handsome case, the shelves of swords and longbows, and a bed, it was the fire pit dug out of the ground in the middle of the big tent.
After asking the maiden to sit down by the fire, Li Mu went to fetch a fairly clean cup, put some tea leaves in it, walked to the fire, took down the copper kettle hanging above the fire, and poured the warm water into the cup, and the cup of tea was ready.
After he put the teacup in both hands, he hung up the copper kettle, walked to the chair opposite the female and stood still, but he was not in a hurry to sit down.
Although Nulu's position at this time is to supervise the army, the official rank is naturally not as high as that of the commander of the army, but the other party is a ghost with a noble status, and she is a princess of a country. The female slut didn't talk about sitting, and Li Mu would never dare to drop her ass on the chair by herself.
The female blew the white heat rising from the cup, and while staring at the tea leaves that were slowly rotating with the water flow in the cup and had not yet been scalded, she thought about something, and spat out two words: "Sit down." ”。
"Princess Xie. After saluting, Li Mu sat down slowly: "Then what is the princess's plan? After all, it is good for me not to move the enemy in such a situation, but the premise is that the enemy does not bare his teeth; once the enemy bares his teeth, we may be very passive." ”。
The wind outside the tent was even stronger, and the tent did not rattle.
Nulu nodded in agreement: "So we have to move as soon as possible, I want to break the old rules, and attack the enemy camp at night tonight to catch them off guard." ”。
The tea was a little warmer, and after finishing speaking, the female girl raised the cup and took a sip. The entrance of bitter tea immediately refreshes the mind. After quickly simulating the plan in her mind, she said, "I led a small group of troops to go ahead and set fire to the enemy camp. When you see the fire, lead a great army to kill it!"
The female girl, who had always had a calm face, also had a faint excitement in her eyes when she said this.
"Well, it's a good strategy to take them by surprise and attack them unprepared. After thinking for a while, Li Mu nodded in agreement: "If you win, you can also strengthen my army." ”。
"Yes, that's exactly what I was going to do, and I had better blow up their guns and ammunition. The woman put down the teacup, and was about to say something more, when suddenly her nostrils shrunk, sniffed the wind that blew the curtain from outside the tent, and said suspiciously, "Where did the smell of wine come from?"
"The smell of wine?" Li Mu also moved his nose, and after sniffing carefully, he smelled a faint aroma of wine in the air, but he was not shocked, but said disapprerovitically: "Isn't this the ghost people nearby, seeing that so many Yin soldiers came here at once, and saw some business opportunities from it, they picked out all the wine at home and sold it out in Yuanmen, so as to make a profit." ”。
Except for the Nine Shadows Kingdom and the Northern Yin Dynasty, most of the other vassal states of the Hades did not have excessively strict military regulations, and a very few had strict military regulations, but these military regulations were nothing more than a piece of paper.
The soldiers of the Xiong National Army can drink and eat meat at any time and place. Their top brass even thinks that alcohol can strengthen their courage; there are only two prerequisites: one is that you must not drink anything during the war, and the other is that you can only pay for drunk money out of your own pocket; as long as you don't commit these two things, you will not be dealt with by the warlords if you let it go dark.
Therefore, at the moment, it is natural to know that there are ghosts selling wine, and Li Mu does not make a fuss.
"The nearest border city from here is also five miles away, not to mention the long distance, let's just say that the armies of both sides are waiting across the border, and there is a sense of smell and tension in the air. The female who had already stood up frowned and asked, "Which ghost people are so bold and dare to come out to sell wine?"
"No, there are ten miles and eight towns around here, and the ghost people who have stored wine at home have come to sell it, so the supply is still in short supply. With that, Li Mu also stood up and strode forward with the female who was walking towards the tent, but before he finished speaking, he also felt that something was wrong.
The appearance of those wines and wine sellers was so out of place, and Li Mu really didn't think of this before the female leader pointed it out.
The two ghosts followed the smell of wine wafting in the air, and walked towards the east gate one after the other. The closer you get to this place, the stronger the smell of alcohol in the air.
The noise and noise were getting louder and louder, and the ghost soldiers in the camp were also walking in groups and threes, chirping and shouting something, and walking quickly towards the east gate.
As those Yin soldiers walked to the back of the Yuanmen, when they were still a few zhang away from the Yuanmen, the female Lu and Li Mu raised their eyes and saw that outside the Yuanmen, more than a dozen wine dealers who picked up a wine burden had been surrounded by the Yin soldiers in three layers inside and three layers outside.
The rich aroma of wine spreads in the Yuanmen area, wafting in all directions with the wind, making people feel drunk when they smell it.
Not to mention, the fragrant aroma of this wine is not only intoxicating, but also lingers over time, and you will know that this wine is definitely not the same as when you smell it. It's no wonder that those ghost soldiers with bear countries are all carrying wine jugs or wine gourds to buy them.
"How can the ghost people in the countryside have such good wine?" muttering these words, the female girl's brows frowned even tighter, and the pair of apricot eyes on her face were a little thinner and flattened, and the fox suspicion in the bright eyes shaped like willow leaves did not recede for a long time.
When I squeezed to the front, I saw more than a dozen liquor sellers lining up more than a dozen pairs of buckets in their hands, and the barrels were full of fragrant green wine. The mellow fragrance is pervasive and refreshing.
"Stop!" the female squire was unusual, and after yelling with anger on her face, the noise between heaven and earth disappeared in an instant.
The sergeants who were still in chaos were instinctively stunned, and were angry because they were being disturbed, but when they saw that it was a woman, they were so frightened that they swallowed the curse words that came to their mouths.
And they all resigned themselves to taking a step back.
"What kind of ghosts are you?" the female Lu looked at the wine-sellers with a wary gaze, and then looked at them after sweeping the faces of the wine sellers who looked quite honest but had some dark skin.
"We are from a poor mountain town. ”
"Fengzi Village. ”
"Zhutian County. ”
The spirits of the wine sellers, who were a little nervous, said in a soft voice.
This poor mountain city is what Nulu mentioned before, according to which there is a border city of the Bear Country in five miles. And the souls of those who sell wine say that Fengzi Village, Zhutian County, are all near this city.
The maid didn't speak, but said to the maidservant who followed her, "Go and pull some scourges." ”。 The maidservants followed suit, and after a while, they brought a few ghost soldiers patrolling the camp and brought a few fierce dog beast souls that were covered in pure black and looked like evil wolves.
These fierce dogs that are barking their teeth and whispering are the scourge, and they are the military dogs that come with the army to patrol the camp. The surrounding sergeants and Li Mu, as well as the few wine dealers, all looked at each other, I don't know what the female leader is going to do?
Without saying a word, the maiden snatched the gourd scoop from the hands of a liquor dealer, scooped some wine into each barrel of wine, drank them one by one, and stood quietly aside.
After a cup of tea, these scourges were still alive, only a little drunk, and the female was relieved. Then she said aloud to the soldiers around her who had come to sell wine: "It's okay to drink, but you are not allowed to get drunk." Then, he turned and left.
The stunned sergeants recovered after she and Limu left, and once again swarmed up, noisily surrounding the liquor dealers......
The sunset in the underworld is extraordinarily bright red because the cloudy day is blood-colored, like a bright blood light, evenly spread out between heaven and earth.
Gensui stood on the border west of Aoki County, on a small hill no more than a hundred feet high. The evening breeze blew, and there was a sharp whistling between the woods, blowing the cloak on his shoulders.
Immediately behind him were Zhu Hai and Ji Yan.
Xuanshui, bathed in the sunset, didn't say a word, and under the slightly raised eyebrows, a pair of grim eyes were staring at the mountains in front of him, the land of Xiazhou where there were streams and rivers flowing across the country, looking at the plains between those streams and rivers, immersed in the blood-colored sunset, rising from the ground and hills, and his heart was excited.
It has been more than two years since the first battle against Du Ziren's Nanban, and Xuanshui has not had the opportunity to lead the army. Although this made Xuanshui's personality a lot more stable, he had been looking forward to an opportunity to lead the army again.
Now this opportunity is in front of him, right in the place where he can see at this time, in the territory of Naxia Prefecture, on a mountain between streams, on a precarious cliff, a border pass surrounded by forests.
After discussing with Lin Cong for a long time, he felt that he would first attack the eastern border of Xiazhou Kingdom.
Not only is it because of the favorable terrain in this area, such as cross-flowing streams and scattered hills, but it will not completely cut off the logistics of the Xudu Army, which can ensure that the fierce battle between the Xudu Army and the Corpse Soul Army of the Bi Corpse Country around the northern land of Xiazhou Country and the southern border of the Bi Corpse Country can continue, and has reached the goal of making both sides lose and hurt both sides, and the Nine Shadows Country will be able to pick up the bargain.
And more than ten days ago, Xuanshui got a secret report of military intelligence, saying that the Hades King of the Corpse Country personally led the army to the expedition, and walked into the ambush circle set up by the Xudu Army in the Mingfeng Valley without investigation.
The battle lasted all night, and the battle was quite tragic, and the murderous spirit was accompanied by rich blood and heart-rending screams, which lasted for a long time in that rainy night of lightning and thunder, wind and rain.
Both sides suffered heavy casualties that night, and by the time dawn the bodies of the souls had turned into countless blood-colored mud in the valley with the rain.
As a last resort, the two sides retreated out of Mingfeng Valley. When he was furious, King Taishan ordered the king of Xiazhou to mobilize the Xiazhou army to rush to the north of Xiazhou to support the Xudu army.
The king of Xiazhou was forced to obey the orders of the generals of the Beiyin Dynasty, and hurriedly gathered the army in the country and escorted the materials collected by force to the north one by one.
As a result, Xiazhou has basically become an empty shell with no soldiers. Except for the border towns and passes on the border of all sides, which are still heavily guarded, the other areas are no longer defended by troops, and there are no troops to adjust.
Xuanshui and Lin Cong both saw a rare opportunity to take advantage of people's danger, so Lin Cong hurriedly transferred Ji Yan and Zhu Hai to the south, and the new army of the Nine Shadows Kingdom brought with Xuanshui quietly came to the border.
