Ruoshan also pays great attention to collecting all kinds of information on Ba Yuan on weekdays, and many of the "deeds" of the tiger baby have now spread, how can the mountain master not guess the identity of the "little gentleman"? Therefore, he led the army out of the mountain, just to find an opportunity to confirm, and it is best to meet the tiger baby in private. The mountain god instructed the tiger baby to be cautious in everything after coming to Ba Yuan, why is it that now her reputation has become known to Ba Yuan?

As soon as the two armies of Shanshui City arrived in Gaocheng, they received an order from Bingzheng Yuxuan, asking them to set up a defensive line on the west bank of the water to block the enemy, and Yue Geng, the former city lord of Gaocheng and the patriarch of the Gaocheng clan, was the leading general. It is normal for Yu Xuan to make this decision, because the current situation is that the cities are jointly defended and reinforcements are drawn from the rear, and among all the nobles in the three cities on the front line, Yue Geng has the oldest qualifications and the highest title, and he also has experience in leading the army.

However, Fengzheng Lord Xiling raised fierce objections to Bingzheng Yuxuan's decision. Because when Yue Geng was the lord of Gaocheng City, he provoked a conflict between Shanshui City for no reason, and as a result, he was caught by the monarch and locked up in the national capital for a month, and he was put back after being beaten in public, and then stepped down as the city lord.

Going back further, Yue Geng sent an envoy to the wilderness back then, supporting not the tribe where Ruoshan was located, but supporting the Youyu clan to forcibly suppress and subdue the alliance of various tribes, which almost provoked a civil strife. Later, Xiling sent a wild envoy, and he was almost involved in this incident, so he took advantage of the situation in time to have the current Shanshui City and Ruoshan City Lord.

In other words, there was an old grudge between Yue Geng and Ruoshan, why did he re-use it at this time and let him command the military formation of Shanshui City? Xiling was worried that Yue Geng's personal vendetta would not be conducive to the unity of the soldiers in front, because his human temperament was like this, and he even appointed Ruoshan as the main general, because Ruoshan was far above Yue Geng in terms of his own cultivation and means of acting.

Xiling also reminded Yu Xuan that Ruoshan was already a Six Realms cultivator, and he should not let such a master be put in a situation where he might be humiliated. Moreover, the status of Shanshui Castle is special, and the rule of the Xiangmuro Kingdom over it is only symbolic. Since they have already provided military supplies and sent two armies to help them this time, the Prime Minister should thank them and give them sufficient respect and courtesy.

Yu Xuan shook his head and said: "Ruoshan City Lord's cultivation has broken through the Six Realms? I think that's just a rumor, otherwise he, as the city lord and a national worker, why didn't he officially report this news to the national capital?

Lord Xiling made meritorious contributions to the wilderness back then, and the monarch promoted you to Lord Caifeng. But before you, it was Lord Yuegeng who sent a wild envoy, saying that he was not successful back then. I know that you have a close personal relationship with the lord of Naruoshan City, so you are also dissatisfied with Lord Yuegeng, but now that the enemy is present, everyone should put aside their personal grudges and serve the country.

Besides, I have to mobilize twenty army formations on the western front of Luoshui, and the two army formations in Shanshui City are not the main force, but only strong and strong, and I don't expect to rely on them to win. ”

Yu Xuan did not adopt Xiling's Jianyi, but ridiculed this master of Caifeng. Not long ago, Xiang Qian also ridiculed Xiling in front of the ministers, because Xiling had misjudged Mr. Xiao's identity to be an elephant. Such an outrageous intelligence blunder. Now Yuxuan doesn't take Xiling seriously, and this master has obviously lost the favor of the monarch.

On the other hand, Yuxuan and Yue Geng have a good personal relationship, and they have received a lot of heavy gifts from the patriarch of the Gaocheng clan back then. Yuxuan and Yuegeng are both hereditary nobles in the Xiangmuro Kingdom. He also inadvertently regarded Yue Geng as the same kind of person as himself, and looked down on the so-called city lord like Ruoshan who was born in the wilderness, and was just a wild man who had not been educated for a long time.

Now that there is such an opportunity, Yuxuan will of course try to help Yue Geng. Let this old friend turn over again, as long as he makes great contributions on the battlefield, he can not only wash away the original humiliation. In the future, his status will be far more noble than that of a city lord. And the re-use of Yuegeng's Yuxuan, of course, can get more benefits.

The disappointed Xiling secretly sighed: "Of course, the enemy should let go of personal grievances, Lord Yuxuan did this, isn't it because of selfish desires!"

In his opinion, the most important mistake made by Yu Xuan was not to promote Yue Geng, but to treat Shanshui City as the same as other cities in the country. It must be known that it was not a castle built by the Aimuro Kingdom, nor was it a castle lord appointed by the Aimuro Kingdom, nor was it the place where the Aimuro Kingdom really achieved its rule.

Xiling had to send someone to inform Ruoshan of the news and remind the master to be careful. And Ruoshan led the army to the west bank of the water to join the army, the situation turned out to be as Xiling expected, and the main general Yue Geng wanted to take the opportunity to declare his personal vendetta.

According to the battle reports from the east bank of the water, it has been determined that the incoming enemy is an elite army, even if it is not the main force launched by the whole country of the Ba Mu State, and it is led by the monarch Shao Wu himself. Yue Geng couldn't figure it out, Xiang Poor was leading a large army to kill the capital of Ba Muro, how could Shao Wu lead the army to come here? But he instinctively felt that his opportunity to make a great contribution had arrived!

Of course, the one who led the army to capture the country of Bamur was poor and no one could grab this credit, but if he could capture Shaowu here, then Yue Geng would be equivalent to making the second great achievement. According to Yuxuan's original strategy, if it is found that the enemy is the main army, Yue Geng must not rush forward, and must rely on the water to establish a defensive line to defend it, ensure that the rear will not be lost, and wait for the monarch to win a big victory in the front.

This strategy is in order, because if Shaomu can't quickly cross the muddy water and enter the hinterland of the Xiangmuro Kingdom, when the national capital is broken by Xiangqian and the Great Rear Square is in danger, he will have to withdraw his troops, and the Xiangmuro Kingdom will win without a fight on this front. Yue Geng set up a defensive line at various checkpoints on the west bank of the water, and waited for reinforcements from the country to arrive one after another, and at the same time had other ideas in his heart.

Yue Geng also wanted to take a military adventure, and if he could succeed, he might be able to seize the young man and make a miraculous achievement, and if he failed, he would not lose his own defense, at least not his own people. The decision he made was to send two army formations from Shanshui City to cross the muddy water from the downstream to attack Baiju City, set fire to the grain and grass of the Shaowu army, and cut off its rear road.

If this is a decisive battle that must be fought, Yue Geng's ideas cannot be wrong. But let's not forget that there is also a muddy water between the two sides, and the further it goes, the more tributaries converge, the more rapid the current, and the wider the water surface.

The reason why Shao Wu chose this route of march was also because there was a natural barrier of the water, and his plan was to cross the water from the area of Feihong City in the upper reaches of the dry season, and then insert it diagonally into the hinterland of the Xiangmuro Kingdom. The operation of the army is not only a battle at the front, but for the occupied Baiju City and Guxiong City, of course, Shao Wu will send a reserve army to deploy heavy troops, and there are guards along the river, how can it be possible for the enemy army to calmly cross the river and sneak attack?

Even if Yue Geng wants to fight like this, he must mobilize enough troops and make adequate preparations. However, this army under the command of Yue Geng was temporarily assembled, and could only be deployed at the existing checkpoints, and sent two army formations from Shanshui City to attack downstream.

Isn't it like sending people to death if they were to cross the wide rapids under the heavy vigilance of the enemy's two armies and about 100 people, and they still wanted to enter the enemy camp and burn the grain and grass and baggage?

At the military meeting on the front line, Ruoshan immediately pointed out the adventure of Yuegeng's approach, and asserted that it was impossible to cut off the back road of the Shaowu army, and at most it could only have an offensive effect. Just for such a blind adventure, it is necessary to cut off all the soldiers sent by Shanshui City, and of course Ruoshan can't agree.

However, as soon as Yue Geng was in power, he reprimanded Ruoshan with a military order, claiming that now that the enemy is present, no one in the military camp can disobey the military order compared to other places. Ruoyamamoto objectively analyzed the military situation and discussed strategic gains and losses, but Yuegeng's words were very polite.

Bo Zhuang, the soldier of Shanshui City, immediately took the case and reprimanded Yue Geng for being rude to Ruoshan, knowing that Ruoshan is not only a city lord and national worker, but also a monk of the Six Realms. To be honest, Ruoshan is very low-key on weekdays, and his cultivation to break through the Six Realms has not been widely publicized, and only a few people around him know about it, including his disciple Xiling.

Yue Geng pretended to be shocked, got up and said with a smile: "I didn't know that the Ruoshan City Lord actually had such cultivation! Since you are such a master in the world, why do you still stay in the city director? This heart of serving the country is admirable...... But in any case, if you are serving in the kingdom and coming to the army today, you should obey the orders of the army.

If the mountain city lord has such cultivation, it is the luck of our army, and he should be more sure that he will succeed in a surprise attack behind the enemy. You can first enter the enemy's territory to investigate the military situation and find out the enemy's defenses, which is easy for you. Then you can determine the route of the surprise attack across the river, and if you can succeed in one fell swoop, you will be the first contribution. ”

Yue Geng did not change his plan, and still ordered the two army formations of Shanshui City to surprise attack behind the enemy, but ordered Ruoshan to go in advance to investigate the situation of the enemy camp. His logic is very simple - since you have such great ability, then take on the heavy responsibility, go deep behind the enemy to find out the general's situation, and then lead the army of Shanshui City to succeed in a surprise attack with your ability.

Ruoshan didn't argue with Yue Geng anymore, and also signaled that Bo Zhuang didn't need to say more, he nodded happily and took the order, and infiltrated the occupied area of the Shaowu army to spy on the military situation. Ruoshan quietly crossed the water at night and came to the outside of Guxiong City, but did not go to Baiju City, but went straight to Feihong City. (To be continued......)
