Song Che first went to the White Jade Building and bought two pieces of crystal at a high price, one polished into a convex mirror and the other polished into a convex mirror, which were used to make a telescope.

He went to the blacksmith shop and ordered five pickaxes and three flying tiger claws; Then I purchased a batch of ropes and a large bundle of beef tendon in the market.

If you want to secretly Chen Cang, you must cut down trees to open the way, trek through mountains and rivers, although Song Che is not a professional mountaineer, but he has loved adventure mountaineering since he was a child, and this time he crossed Qili Mountain, he has at least eight points of certainty.

The next afternoon, Xu Xiao hurriedly came to Yunshuifang with a map, he spread the map on the table, and pointed along:

"This is a sketch of Qili Mountain drawn by the bandits in the prison, although this mountain can only be climbed on the east slope, but the Feiyun Gang also has whistles on the south and north slopes, but the west slope is not set up;

The reason is that the western slope is the most precipitous, forty miles from south to north, all of which are bare cliffs, all of which are more than 300 feet high, and no one can climb up at all;

You see, this is the western slope of the 'Tiger Leaping Cliff', if you can climb over here, at most take another hour, you can go straight to the back mountain bandits' nest. But Tiger Leaping Cliff is a natural cliff, as steep as this wall. ”

The mountains in the south of the Yangtze River, no matter how high they are, can not compare to Shudi, three hundred feet is only more than seventy meters, as long as you find a way to climb up, and then put down the rope soft ladder, it is not difficult for the army to go deep.

Song Che said: "Since there are sentinels on the other three slopes, we will take the west slope, and the soldiers are very fast, we can only climb over the tiger leaping cliff, I have my own way of how to climb the cliff." ”

"I believe in you anyway," Xu Xiao said: "After going back yesterday, I told Lord Zhou about your plan, and my lord praised it after hearing it. ”

"Good! In this case, Xu Dutou should also choose a sergeant, remember, it does not have to be strong, but it must be sharp in legs and feet, and it can't be too cumbersome to climb over mountains and mountains. Song Che admonished.

"No problem, three days later, please ask Brother Song to come to the north of the city to order troops!"

Xu Xiao clenched his fists and left.

……

In the next three days, the pickaxe, flying tiger claw, binoculars, climbing rope, and soft ladder were made one after another.

Song Che loaded the equipment into the wheelbarrow in turn, covered it with a shabby quilt, took off the silk and satin, changed into coarse cloth and rags, and pretended to be a homeless person.

If Shen Wenjun knew that he was going to suppress the bandits, he would definitely hang his arms and refuse to let go, so early on the morning of the third day, without waiting for Shen Wenjun to wake up, he secretly left the Shen Mansion and went straight to the military camp in the north of the city.

The north of the city is a point of troops, and the west wharf of the city is also a point of troops, and the original plan of the agreement was that the two states of Su and Yang were frontally contained by water.

Suzhou sent 500 sailors and five warships, and went upriver from south to north to join the Yangzhou army at the mouth of the Yangtze River.

The 500 soldiers of the dark Chen Cang took the land route, starting from Beicheng to the west slope of the Qili Mountain for a hundred miles, and they could be reached in a day if they were in a hurry, but they pretended to be homeless, so they naturally could not be too fast, and they had to rest enough, so as not to be weak and tired and unable to control the enemy.

Song Che's plan was to set off this morning, arrive near Qili Mountain in the afternoon, detour to the western slope during the day tomorrow, smuggle the tiger jumping off the cliff at night, rest all night, nourish his spirits, and attack the bandit village at night on the third day.

On paper, it only takes a few words;

Down-to-earth, or more than two or three days.

I just hope that the plan can catch up with the change.

When Song Che came to the barracks, the five hundred soldiers had all changed into cloth clothes and lined up neatly in the martial arts arena.

"I'm still worried that Mrs. Song won't let you come, and you will show up the next moment." Xu Xiao smiled and greeted a thin middle-aged man.

"Is this Aunt Song? Even if he is dressed in cloth, he is not compared to civilian warriors such as us! The middle-aged man laughed.

Song Che was polite: "Who is this?" ”

Xu Xiao said: "He is the commander of the city defense army I mentioned to you earlier, Captain Zheng Sui Zheng. ”

The soldiers are all white and fat, but the officials are so thin, Song Che asked for a salute again: "It turned out to be Captain Zheng, disrespectful and disrespectful." ”

Zheng Sui hurriedly helped Song Che, "Uncle, don't be polite, we, the warriors who eat public food, have to bother my uncle and Confucian peers to suffer, and I feel ashamed to say it!" ”

Song Che said with a smile: "Captain Zheng is serious, those who are willing to wear military uniforms and defend the country are all good men, Song is just a little stupid, and he can't be compared with all the robes and brothers!" ”

"Alas...... You don't have to say more politely, since Aunt Song has arrived at the martial arts arena, why don't you help see how the military discipline of the soldiers is? Xu Xiao pointed to the rows of soldiers.

"Then let's see." Song Che walked around briskly among the soldiers, and returned to Xu Xiao and Zheng Sui with a smile.

"How?" Zheng Sui was quite proud, "These five hundred soldiers are all the elites of my Suzhou army!" ”

"Enough spirit," Song Che nodded, and the next moment he said, "But it's too spiritual." ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that?" Zheng Sui was puzzled.

Song Che said: "Don't forget, this time we are pretending to be homeless, what is a homeless?" Sleeping in the open air, ragged, yellow-skinned and thin, we walked out in a military posture, and those who didn't know it thought it was a gang fight. ”

Zheng Sui patted his brain, "That's it, it's so ......"

"Then in Brother Song's opinion, what rectification should be made?" Xu Xiao asked.

Song Che smiled, grabbed a handful of ash from the ground, rubbed it vigorously on his face, and then deliberately messed up his bun and loosened his belt to make him look sloppy.

"What are you still doing? Hurry up and learn from my uncle! Zheng Sui took the lead, and the scholar looked like a plastered on the ground. The soldiers followed suit.

Song Che said again: "Let yourself become down, just change your 'form', if you want to pretend to be more like, you have to change your 'demeanor' at a deeper level." ”

"How do I change my demeanor?" Zheng Sui asked.

Song Che said with a smile: "It's very simple, eat one meal a day, eat half full at one meal, and when you are hungry, the fatigue of dying will naturally come out." ”

As soon as this remark came out, the martial arts field was a sensation.

"What, we're going to fight, just one meal a day, and we don't let people eat enough, what if we encounter an enemy?"

"It's just ......"

This person, as long as it comes to being hungry, will definitely complain again and again.

"Don't worry, let's rest assured, we naturally have to bring enough dry food for the march for a few days, but we must eat it when we get to the west slope, and this is also to be able to better get through the customs," Song Che soothed, and said loudly:

"Those who participated in the suppression of bandits are all loyal and brave people, Xu Dutou promised me that if he can return victorious this time, each of them will be rewarded with a big fat pig!"

"A pig! This is a good feeling! ”

Now that the price of pork has skyrocketed, with the soldier's salary, he may not be able to get oil in his throat for ten days and half a month, and a pig is really a heavy reward!

"No, Brother Song, when-"

"Okay, don't say much, the soldiers are fast, set off immediately!" Song Che didn't wait for Xu Xiao to speak, and raised his arms and shouted first.
