Seeing that the old stick was a little worried, the fat sergeant on the side licked the oil on his lips and asked a little strangely, "What's wrong?"

"No, nothing ......"

The old stick was silent for a moment, but he still couldn't hold it back, and said in a low voice: "I can't say it well, I used to be under the command of the general, although I said that I couldn't eat well, I couldn't sleep well, and I walked dozens of miles a day, and it was very hard, but I always felt that my heart was steady, 100,000 brothers, after fighting the four countries, counting the dead and disabled in the war, there were less than 10,000, and there were more than 50 soldiers who were familiar with me, and only six died...... Every day we were happy, as if we weren't going to war, but just getting together and traveling around. But now with this General Zhao, although I eat well, sleep well, and wear warm clothes, I am still a little worried......"

The fat sergeant listened to the old stick's words and thought for a moment, "You probably haven't gotten used to it for a while." Anyway, we all think it's good, General Zhao, although he is young, he has also been taught to enter the cold palace, and he has been familiar with military books since he was a child, and he is saying that let's stand still here, ambush the Tang army, and catch them off guard!"

"Yes. The old stick looked into the deep forest, and there were crickets squeaking in the darkness, "But we don't seem to have all the troops here, and I heard that there are still a few troops marching on the side of Tingshan Plain." ”

"Then I don't know. The fat sergeant whispered, "Generals, they all like to hide half and expose half of them, where can they all be put on the surface?" General Zhao must also be a cunning person......

It's just that when he said the last sentence, he saw a frightened look on the old stick's face, he was slightly stunned, turned his head, and happened to see a suit of armor that had not been removed, and Vice General Zhang with a serious expression looked at him with a pair of cold eyes.

Zhang ...... General Zhang ......"

"Say, go on. Deputy General Zhang Cheng sneered, and his tone suddenly turned cold, "Arrange the coach in private, it's not a small courage!"

"I ......" The fat sergeant immediately knelt down, "General, I don't dare anymore, don't kill me, you don't remember the villain, I'm the one who doesn't have a ...... on my mouth."

However, Zhang Cheng looked preoccupied, obviously didn't have the heart to pay much attention to him, just glanced at the old stick, and the latter was also frightened.

He turned, his cloak fluttering slightly in the night wind, and walked straight towards the camp of the commander of the Chinese army.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, the new commander Zhao Kuan is holding an oil candle in his hand, frowning and looking at a large map propped up by the shelf, the soup in the pot is gurgling, the air is diffused with a smell of meat, the fire flickers slightly, and the shadow on the tent is like a beating ghost.

"General, the scouts have already seen it, and as you said, this urn mountain is like a closed urn, which can enter but not exit, and it is really an excellent ambush point. Zhang Cheng held his sword in both hands and saluted.

Zhao Kuan turned his head, his face under the firelight was indeed a little immature, but his expression was extremely confident, and said: "That's natural, as early as five years ago, I sent someone to see this place, the art of war: the terrain has those who are passable, those who are hanging, those who are branching, those who are narrow, those who are dangerous, and those who are far away." This place is exactly where the hangers are. The hanger can go, the place where it is difficult to return, it is easy to get in, but it is not easy to get out, we are now ambushed here, why can't we be in the urn?"

When Zhang Cheng heard this, his eyes lit up slightly, the uneasiness in his heart dissipated a lot, and he praised him sincerely: "The general is really a hero, and every word in the military book is touched, and the last general admires it." ”

Zhao Kuan laughed, although he knew that Zhang Cheng was patting him on the back, he couldn't help but be secretly complacent, but he quickly thought that he was the corporal Lixian at this time, so he immediately said: "General Zhang has explored the terrain, and he has worked hard all the way, so he hasn't eaten yet, come, let's eat together." ”

As he spoke, he walked to the pot first, sat on a stool made of tree stumps, and said, "Please." ”

General Zhang nodded, did not refuse, walked over and sat opposite him, the pot was stewed pheasant meat, mixed with ginger slices, wild onions, already in the boiling soup flavor, oil splashes beating, appetizing.

However, he still remembered the question he wanted to ask: "It's just a general, how do you know that the Tang army will definitely go this way? We are hundreds of miles away from Jinzhou, even if the Tang army wants to fight, it should go to Jinzhou to fight, where will they come all the way to this urn valley to enter our trap?"

Zhao Kuan filled a bowl of soup, put it in front of Zhang Cheng, and said with a smile: "Of course I know this, so I sent a few suspicious soldiers out, and I didn't take the small road, so I went from the main road to Jinzhou with great fanfare...... Who is the commander of the Tang Army this time, you know, right?"

"I know, it's Xiang Chu, who is known as the overlord in the Southern Army of the Tang Kingdom. ”

"Bingjiayun, Fenglin Volcano. He is called the overlord because his style of using soldiers is aggression like fire, and he prefers to be a musk war in the wilderness than a siege of the city. Zhao Kuan said: "I deliberately slowed down the march, and then let the suspicious soldiers release the news that our army is coming, just to let him Xiang Chu know that we are here, and with his temperament, he will definitely not obediently go to besiege Jinzhou first and then wait for me to chase him, he will definitely intercept our army on the road first, so that we can't go to the aid of Chi Jinzhou, as long as he can defeat us on the road, this Jinzhou line can not only be a persimmon in his hand at will, how to pinch it?"

Zhang Cheng's hand was on the edge of the bowl, and he didn't care about eating and drinking, and said with a somewhat excited expression: "I see, no wonder Jinzhou urged, you ignore the general, it turns out that you have a plan in your heart?" The general is really wise, and others are marching like fighting a fire, where the fire is poured, but the general is not in a hurry, but leads the fire to burn himself...... And then what? We're going to extinguish one of them here?"

"General Zhang is really a smart person, and he can understand it at all. Zhao Kuan picked up the soup bowl, his eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles, thinking of that Xiang Chu, his tone finally brought a little disdain, and said: "The so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other side will win all battles." I know Xiang Chuqi, but he doesn't know me, but in his heart, I'm just a little doll who has not dried up, where do I know how to use soldiers? In this case, I sent suspicious soldiers and told them every way that my army was stationed in this valley, and I also hoarded nearly 10,000 stone of grain here...... My Mo family has a vast territory, his Tang army is far away from the mainland, and it is not easy to transport grain and grass, how can Xiang Chu not be tempted? As long as he takes his troops to drill into this valley, my 40,000 troops will fire thousands of arrows and arrows, plus rolling wood and stones, even if he claims to be 100,000 soldiers and horses, what can he do?

This plan, Zhao Kuan can be said to have been prepared for a long time, even before the start of this war, he has been arranged many times on the sand table, he does not want to live under the halo of his fathers, he is the most diligent and hard-working group among the children of the family, so for him, he has studied the art of war for many years, and finally got a good opportunity to show his ambitions, as long as his plan is realized, he can make contributions in this protracted expedition, and his name Zhao Kuan's name will be scattered everywhere in the world, and everyone who hears his name will be admired......

Becoming famous in a fight, this is what Wang Xuanwei did when he was young, and now, Wang Xuanwei is old, and it is also his turn to be a young man, to step on this stage and become the protagonist.

He thought of his father, who had lived under Wang Xuanwei all his life, although he was also a famous general of the Mo family, he would still be ridiculed by others, saying that he was just stained with Wang Xuanwei's light to get a general.

He couldn't help but clench his fists, if he returned with a big victory this time, who else in the court would dare to look down on their Zhao family in the future, and who would dare to look down on his father who had died of illness?

Since then, he will also take over the title of general of Wang Xuanwei, leading the army of 400,000 under his command, fighting in the south and the north, the rolling thundercloud-like black horsemen are like shadows, they step on the mountains and rivers together, calm the world, worship the marquis, and achieve immortal achievements!

Before "Xiang Chu ......" fell asleep, Zhao Kuan stared deeply at the ravines and avenues on the map, feeling that there was unstoppable blood surging in his chest, and he said to himself: "I hope I can be worthy of the name of the overlord, and I won't be so timid that I don't dare to attack." ”

The firewood in the brazier suddenly made a "crackling" sound at this moment, and the flames rose a few inches in an instant, as if in response to his words.

Off-the-books.

"Straighten up! The old stick has been a captain for decades, the old pawn leads the new pawn, and the four sergeants in front of him heard his loud shout, and they also shook their spirits, but the yawn still couldn't help leaking out of their fingers.

"Old stick, why don't you sleep, what are you going to do with these new recruits?" The fat sergeant who was chatting with the old stick during the meal before had already begun to fight, "The ambush that was said to be good, since it is an ambush, people don't know that our garrison is on this hillside, what is the use of patrolling at night? Could it be that they have already sneaked into the valley?"

"Shut your crow's mouth. The old stick scolded, "When fighting, the most taboo thing is to talk nonsense, do you understand? Good spirits are not bad spirits! Quickly take a sip, quickly spit." ”

The fat sergeant shrank when he was scolded, and obediently spat on the ground, but his mouth muttered: "Why is it a crow's mouth, I'll just talk about it......"

"When I was under the command of the general, I never dared to slack off patrolling the night. The old stick walked in front, and the four new soldiers behind him walked loosely, and he said: "You learn more, when you are fighting, you have to hang a sword above your head, thinking that if you slack off, the sword will cut off your head! ”

"This hangs a sword...... Is that also the general's reasoning?" asked a new soldier probe.

"It's not. The old stick scratched his head, "At the beginning, when I was still a new army, our tun commander slept on the ground, with a quiver on his pillow, and the knife was at hand, and when the wind blew the grass, he could immediately jump up and carry the knife to kill." He told me that this habit had saved his life!"

The new soldiers listened to the old stick with relish, and seemed to dispel most of the sleepiness, and they all got up, they liked to listen to the endless stories in his stomach, and the fat sergeant followed all the way, saying as he walked: "So powerful, then I will have to practice like this in the future." ”

But his words soon drew ridicule, and the new army shouted, "Just blow it." I don't look at you sleeping like that at night, and you still jump up and cut people in your dreams, but I'm afraid that if someone else cuts at you, you won't be able to get up. ”

After a while, the old stick also glared at them helplessly, thinking that these years, the little rabbit cubs are getting more and more difficult to bring, too, the Mo family has been quite stable in recent years, and there are few wars, these recruits who have not been in the army for a long time do not have much feeling for the fierceness of life and death in the blink of an eye on the battlefield, and everything is laugh-and-do.

But he didn't bother to say anything more about them, just took them all the way to continue the night patrol.

Although the forest is dark, there is moonlight shining through the leaves from time to time, so it is not a problem to see the road, probably because Zhao Kuan confidently proclaimed to everyone earlier: "The Tang army is still a hundred miles away, and the soldiers can try to recharge their strength......

Therefore, although there are sentinel posts everywhere on the mountain, they all look very lax, and a few people even take a nap against the trunk of the tree, and the snoring is one after another.

The old stick shook his head, thinking that if this was placed in Wang Xuanwei's team, he was afraid that he would be dealt with by military law immediately, but he was a small military commander, and it was not easy for him to go up and say anything more when he saw it.

At this moment, a new soldier behind him suddenly spoke: "Old stick! Look, what is that!"
