When Guo Daxian, who was in the capital and city, heard the news that there was a fire burning in the west, he was immediately furious and asked, "Who destroyed and burned my storen of grain?" Was it an accident? Or the Qiu family and the Yin family in the north of the city? ”

It turned out that although Guo Daxian captured the capital city, he drove away the county magistrate and county lieutenant. However, there are still many big clans and local tyrants in Duxiang County who have built docks to resist, and they have not been able to succumb to it, and they often jump out to find trouble with Guo Daxian's department.

Originally, Guo Daxian thought that those dock forts were small and strong, and there were not many goods in the forts, so he did not put a lot of effort into attacking. As long as they don't cause trouble, they exist. This time, Guo Daxian also doubted that they were secretly playing ghosts, and he couldn't help but feel resentful in his heart. Determined to wait for the beginning of spring, to completely eliminate these people.

Someone stepped forward and said: "Qu Shuai is not the time to pursue it at this time, my department has planted a full 30,000 stone of grain and grass on the front line of Fangshan. At this time, one tun was destroyed, but I was afraid that others would also be destroyed, so I still sent reinforcements. ”

Guo Daxian nodded in agreement with his subordinates' opinions and said: "Yes, these grains are originally reserve grains, if they are destroyed by others, it is not beautiful, quickly pass the order, and the fine cavalry can be divided into ten, and quickly go to various grain storage points to inspect." If you encounter the majority of the Qiu and Yin clans, you can't force yourself to resist. After reporting to Ben Shuai, Ben Shuai gathered a large army and eliminated them together. ”

"The herald ordered that most of the people stationed at the intersection of the two counties can be dispatched to return to the capital early tomorrow morning. Ben Shuai wants to let those local tyrants who still refuse to submit to Ben Shuai know the fate of going against Shuai. ”

"Oh, Qu Shuai."

After Guo Daxian sent his elite horsemen, he had no intention of sleeping for a while, so he personally led people to inspect the city wall. When he saw the two hundred elite soldiers who were keeping vigil on the city wall, all hiding in the hole of the city gate, or hiding from the wind and snow in the city tower, he couldn't help but be furious.

Although the Montenegrin Army and the court are temporarily reconciled, who knows if the court will turn its face at any time. The city wall is so lax in guarding, in case there is a good thing, it will not be good. Guo Daxian then summoned the team to defend the city on all sides, and each of them gave ten whips fiercely, in order to set an example, and the hearts of all the soldiers guarding the city were suddenly solemn, and they were no longer afraid of the wind and snow.

He Bai led the troops in the snow in a hurry, and he was caught off guard when he wanted to attack Guo Daxian's thief department. But I have long felt faintly in my heart that this battle is only in vain. The army has come with light soldiers, and it is a day of wind and snow at this time, and it is strange that they want to fight a large number of thieves who have a strong city as a basis, and do not suffer heavy casualties. But before things came to despair, He Bai didn't want to turn back, and wanted to move forward bravely.

Luo Pei, who was closely following He Bai, hesitated for a long time, and then persuaded as he went: "Lord Duwei, the unprepared thief can break it in one fell swoop, but the prepared thief is afraid that it will not be easy." This Guo Daxian thief must be eliminated immediately, why not wait for him to have the opportunity to attack again? In addition, our army is a light soldier this time, the thieves not only have thousands of fine horses, but also a strong city as a basis, our army has no long soldiers in hand, but I am afraid that the thieves' fine cavalry will not be able to stop the repeated breakthroughs. ”

He Bai frowned, and thought: Yes, Guo Daxian is not a thief who must be eliminated immediately, why is he so urgent. I think it was because of the kindness of the previous woman, and I was ashamed, and turned into anger. "Sun Tzu's Art of War" has a cloud: "If you don't move, you don't have to use it, and you don't fight if it's not dangerous." The Lord can't be angry and raise the army, and he can't be angry and cause war...... "This is a big taboo for yourself."

"The whole army is suspended." He Bai hurriedly stopped the soldiers of the whole army who were running quickly, and asked Luo Pei again: "I don't know what else you have to say?" ”

Luo Pei took a few breaths of air, calmed down for a while, and then said: "Lord Duwei, I think that I am afraid that I will not be able to return the same way at this time, and I am afraid that I will be pursued by the thief. It is necessary to take advantage of the fact that Guo Daxian's thief department does not know the whereabouts of our department, find a foothold as soon as possible, and defend it according to the danger. After Fu Sima and Che Sima won the second road, they gathered the two men and horses to fight to the death with Guo Daxian's thief department. ”

He Baisi said: This is the wind and snow weather, which is an opportunity to block the contact between the various departments of the Black Mountain thieves. After Fu Xing and Che Jing defeated the two thieves of Huanglong and Wang Dang, I was afraid that the other Black Mountain thieves would not be able to react for a while. If you wait for the two of them to come to the aid and gather an army of 3,000, it will be simple to break Guo Daxian's thief department, but it will take three or four more days, and who knows if there will be any variables.

But what Luo Pei said was also correct, and he had to listen to it, and when he was hesitating, Hou Cheng, who was the first sentinel, sent someone back and said: "Lord Duwei, Hou Zuojun Hou reported that there is the sound of horses' hooves a few miles ahead, and there are about 100 horsemen, and I am afraid that there are thieves riding towards this side." ”

He Bai's heart froze, he came so quickly, and hurriedly shouted: "Quickly disperse left and right, get out of the way, and hide left and right beside the road." Bow and arrow preparation. ”

After listening to the order, the army immediately dispersed to the left and right. At this time, the ground was covered with snow, and the ground was white everywhere, and there was no place to hide. But He Bai had expected that each soldier was equipped with a white cloak to cover his body. If you don't look closely, you won't be able to see it at all. At most, there were suddenly more clumps of snow on the side of the road, but it was a little neat.

In less than a minute, thousands of troops were hiding by the side of the road. In less than two minutes, I saw a hundred horsemen running all the way with dozens of torches. When He Bai was hesitating to annihilate them, he suddenly reined in his horse and shouted, "There is something unusual on the road, stop quickly." ”

He Bai was stunned, and hurriedly looked around, only to see countless footprints on the avenue wandering towards the west, until the thief's horse hooves stopped. But it turned out to be made by the trampling of the military before marching. He Bai secretly screamed to himself, and before the thief shouted that the enemy was attacking, he hurriedly took out a Mingdi, looked at the thief and shot an arrow.

In the snowy night, the sharp sound of the arrows like a ghost roar protruded, which immediately made the hearts of the horse thieves panic and uncomfortable as if they were being caught. I saw that all the soldiers on all sides were like a conditioned reflex, half-kneeling on the ground, and shooting towards the hundred thieves in the road with their bows.

Thousands of sharp arrows flew up in the sky, and the bow buzzed as the arrows flew up, like the beating of war drums. In the terrible sound of the thief, He Bai shot three arrows in a row, and the soldiers also shot three arrows at the same time. The density of 3,000 sharp arrows had already shot the helpless thieves in the road to death, and even the good horses under them were shot by He Bai's department.

He Bai stood up and nodded with satisfaction, this firepower is strong, and the hundred horsemen were all wiped out by the army in less than half a minute. Each thief was given thirty arrows at the same time, and even if most of them missed, as long as a few arrows were shot, they would be crippled even if they were not killed.

He Bai hurriedly ordered: "Come on, quickly go and check if there is any living mouth, bring it to me." ”

Not long after, Cheng Qi and four people came with five half-dead thieves, He Bai took a look, and there were only about two people who could be saved. So he pointed to the two men and shouted, "Where did the thief tell you to go?" What was the situation in the capital at this time? Summoning it quickly, or ......" He Bai drew his knife and killed a thief who was about to die.

The two thieves shrank their minds and scrambled to cry: "Spare your life, spare your life, the general will spare your life." Guo Thief ordered us to go to the place where the fire broke out in the west to see if it was done by people from the Qiu and Yin clans in the north of the county. And the elite cavalry under his command was divided into ten parts, and went to ten grain storage points to inspect. Guo Thief himself was waiting for news from all sides at the head of the city. ”

"Qiu and Yin?" He Bai hurriedly asked, "Who are they?" ”

The two thieves said: "The Qiu and Yin clans are the big clans of the capital, and each clan has thousands of people, and there are three or four hundred strong people. The village is close to Fangshan, and most of the people in the clan make a living from farming and hunting. The people are fierce. When the chaos came, it was early to protect itself. Later, after the capital city was broken, the two clans built a dock fort to hold on. These two clans have always been dissatisfied with Guo Thief, so Guo Thief wonders if it is this two people who are causing trouble......"

Luo Pei on the side bowed his hand and said: "Congratulations to Lord Duwei, I don't mean that there are still such righteous people who are enemies of thieves in Duxiang County." Our army can immediately go to the fortified place of these two clans, join forces with them to resist the Guo thieves, and wait for reinforcements. ”

He Bai nodded, and shook his head again, he was not the captain of Changshan Country, and he had no command power over the righteous people in Changshan Country. Moreover, they don't know anything about the people of the Qiu and Yin clans, and they may not be willing to cooperate with the army. Maybe they will blame themselves for causing them a lot of trouble.

At this time, Guo Daxian was already prepared in the city, and the surprise attack was not possible, and the dock fort of the Qiu and Yin clans could go, but it was not like this empty-handed. After thinking about it, He Bai asked again, "How did the thief Guo order?" What if there is no hostile situation? What if there is an enemy? ”

After the two thieves glanced at each other, they hurriedly said: "Returning to the general, Guo Thief said that if there is no enemy, he only needs to send troops to report back, and he will guard the grain with the soldiers." If there is an enemy, you must not engage the enemy, as long as you hold off the enemy, and tomorrow morning, Guo Thief will lead the army out of the city to encircle and destroy him. ”

He Bai suddenly slapped his thigh when he heard this, it seems that Guo Daxian wants to respond to all changes with the same. Unaware of the arrival of the army over the mountains and mountains, his forces were still too strong to resist in Duxiang County, so there was no need to venture out of the city to engage the enemy in the middle of the night. Because after dawn, all enemies can be destroyed in one go. Like this, it gives me a lot of opportunities to reverse.

If there is no enemy situation, you only need to send troops to report back, and you will guard the food with the garrison soldiers.

This command is an opportunity. As long as they send someone to send back false news and hide it from Guo Daxian, they can temporarily eliminate Guo Daxian's vigilance against the army, so that he still does not know the news of the army. When he sends troops to attack the Qiu and Yin clans tomorrow, the army will be able to profit from it.
