After understanding the situation, I knew that the monks of the Lishui faction did not deliberately disobey the military order, and the two Jin Dan were also very aggrieved: "I really want to ignore him, but if I don't care, he will have to die, rather than die, it is better to bring it back and ask for some news." ”

Gu Zuo sighed: "It's also an accident, you don't have to blame yourself, let's pay attention next time, just don't chase so close." ”

The Yizhou spy is afraid of death, and he doesn't have to be punished at all, so he shakes off the sobriety he knows. As a Jindan monk, he really knew a lot.

Li Mi and He Luguang dispatched 8,000 soldiers and horses, together with a total of 15,000 people, known as 30,000, among them, there are 12 Jindan generals of the Yizhou army (only 11 are left at the moment), more than 60 people are building the foundation, more than 300 qi refining monks, and the foot soldiers are mainly martial artists.

In addition, this spy also confessed to the news that he did not know before, the Qingcheng faction sent four Jin Dan and more than 20 Zhuji to join the Yizhou Army, and Fan Yangjun also sent 6 Jin Dan and more than 30 Zhuji from Hebei to enrich the strength of the monks under Li Mi and He Luguang.

But the spy said that the monks supported by the Qingcheng faction and Fan Yangjun had changed into Yizhou military uniforms, which showed that these two families had not openly turned against Huaixian Pavilion, since this was the case, Gu Zuo didn't need to make this matter clear, just treat them as Yizhou soldiers.

Gu Zuo didn't like to play the "claimed" set, the Southern Wu Army claimed in the text that there were 3,000 people, but in fact there were 3,000 people, but only 2,000 people actually participated in the war in his plan.

Although the main force of the Yizhou soldiers and horses is the martial master, and the main force of the Southern Wu Army is all monks, from the comparison of the combat power of the grassroots soldiers, there is no difference between the strength of the martial artist and the monks in the early stage of qi refining, even if they are against the late stage of qi refining, they can fight. Therefore, in the comparison of the strength of the soldiers, the Yizhou army occupies an overwhelming advantage.

The Southern Wu army had the advantage of a large number of foundation building monks, and Gu Zuo silently estimated that when the battle really started, he could invest three hundred foundation building, which was three times that of the Yizhou army.

In terms of Jindan monks, the Southern Wu army currently has more than 40 people, which is slightly more than the Yizhou army, while in the Yuanying monks, the two sides are evenly matched.

After comparison, Gu Zuo thinks that he has a great hope of winning, and he has one of the biggest battles, the Southern Wu Army grew up in the brutal fighting of the beast tide, and although the Yizhou army has also experienced the siege of the beast tide, as far as he knows, it has not actually fought any evil battles. Besides, he still has confidence that others can't understand, since the Fan Yang army in later generations can go all the way to Chang'an by raising the flag, will the Yizhou army also be unbeaten?

There was constant feedback from the north that the Yizhou army had just entered Jiazhou, so Gu Zuo's army slowed down again, changing from 50 miles a day to 30 miles a day.

After five days, the Yizhou army had not yet stepped out of the boundary of Jiazhou, and the Southern Wu army had already entered the county town of Montenegro, so Gu Zuo simply ordered a holiday to let the sergeants relax in the county town.

It was not until August 20 that the Yizhou army slowly entered Nanzhao and moved south along the junction of Qingcheng Zhao and Luofu Zhao.

The reason for the slow march of the Yizhou army lies in the fact that the grassroots sergeants have no cultivation, and they naturally walk slower than the monks—the foot travel is slower, which may be one of the few advantages that the Qi refining monks have over the martial artists.

After waiting for another half a month, when the Yizhou army arrived at Longhe City at the junction of Qingcheng Zhao and Luofu Zhao, Gu Zuocai ordered the army to regain its strength and set off from the county town of Montenegro.

The movements of the armies of both sides were under the high-altitude surveillance of the other party's Jindan monks, and that night, the Southern Wu army camped at the Qianglang River, thirty miles north of the county town of Montenegro. In the big tent, Gu Zuo looked at Li Gusheng, who had changed his outfit, and put his helmet on him, not to mention, the two were of similar figures, so if they changed their outfits, they really looked quite similar if they didn't get closer.

Gu Zuo patted Li Gusheng on the shoulder: "Don't talk, what military order is there, let Yang Jian convey it and release it." ”

Li Gusheng agreed: "Don't worry, Uncle Junior, this is in your own army, and enemy spies will definitely not be able to find it in the sky." ”

Gu Zuo said to Yang Jian: "The suspicious soldiers are under your command, from tomorrow onwards, speed up the march, put on a posture of seizing Weiyuan Town, and let Li Mi think that we are ready to fight him [cləwχ.(〇Μ-] in Weiyuan Town." Weiyuan Town is less than two hundred miles away from here, but it is two hundred and sixty miles away from Longhe City, how to make Li Mi feel that he has hope to seize the front, this needs to be grasped by your brother. ”

Yang Jian said with a smile: "I will send two hundred people to rush to Weiyuan, let him be anxious, the brigade will rush behind, and I will cross the Mojiang River halfway. ”

Gu Zuo said again: "Remember, after three days, send two hundred elites to Mengle Mountain." ”

Mengle Mountain is the northernmost part of the Black Mountain Edict, the valley road in the mountain, is an important passage from north to south, the Yizhou army first passes through the Mengle Valley, goes south to Weiyuan Town, and then attacks the county town of Montenegro, and finally goes to fight South Wuzhou, which is the best route. If you detour, you will have to walk an extra 160 miles to the west from Qingcheng Zhao to the south, and to the east from Luofu Zhao, you will have to walk an extra 120 miles.

Therefore, Gu Zuo's strategy is to let the suspicious soldiers slow down, make a momentum to defend Weiyuan Town, and set up an ambush in the Mengle Valley for eighty miles, intercept and kill the Yizhou army by surprise, and strive to complete the battle in one battle!

In Mengle Valley, Gu Zuo has already laid down two Tiandu Arrays, a Three-Element Extreme True Law Array, and a Liangyi Aurora Array, all of which were quietly removed from Southern Wuzhou and placed in advance, I believe that it will definitely give Li Mi and He Luguang a surprise.

After explaining everything, Gu Zuo took the three ladies and Wanhe Sanren to leave the barracks at night, and behind them were four Jin Dan and more than 20 Zhuji from the Lishui camp. In three days, the 200 elites selected by the Lishui battalion will rush to Mengle Mountain and be the last group of living forces to fight.

The group rushed overnight, with Gu Zuo opening the road in front, the road was extremely smooth, and there was no interference from demon beasts at all, and they ran for hundreds of miles overnight.

When the day was almost dawn, he slowed down and walked through the densest part of the forest, and in the evening, he saw the town of Weiyuan in the basin from afar.

After a short rest, everyone bypassed Weiyuan Town along the foothills, followed the valley at the foot of the mountain to the north, and traveled eighty miles rapidly, and finally arrived at the south entrance of the Mengle Valley.

Cheng Shanhu had been waiting here for a long time, and when he saw Gu Zuo, he led them into a big cave. Along both sides of the cave wall were all sergeants, and it was the more than 300 Huaixian Pavilion disciples from the Huaixian Camp who were stationed.

Elder Shang, Butcher, Yuan Dao Chang, Su San and other Huaixian Pavilion cores are all here, and when they see Gu Zuo, they all shout "Pavilion Master", and the disciples all shout "Little Uncle".

After greeting everyone, Cheng Shanhu took Gu Zuo into the deepest part, which was the "Chinese Army's Big Tent".

After Gu Zuo sat down, he immediately asked, "Where is the Yizhou Army?"

The butcher shook his head: "It's still in Dragon and City, and it hasn't come out." ”

It was also normal to enter the city to rest for two days, so Gu Zuo began to inquire about the preparations of the battalions.
