By the end of April, Nangong Shi had led his army to approach Jinjiling.

Nangong Shi'an camped and put Ji Shuqian and Lei Zhenzi and other military personnel into the main tent to discuss the plan of sending troops.

Everyone sat down in the tent, Ji Shuqian is the twelfth son of Ji Chang, he is as anxious as fire, and his martial arts are outstanding, he is good at using a spear, among the hundred sons, his martial arts should be regarded as the top, and he also had a good record in the original book.

He pointed to the map and asked Nangong Shi, "I don't know how the general plans to send troops this time?"

Nangong Shi didn't rush to make a decision, but asked: "The news of the death of the first king should have reached Chaoge, is there any movement in Chaoge?"

Ji Shuqian replied: "There is no movement, according to the report from the spies, Chaoge Wenwu has been prepared to fight, but there is no major movement, the king of Zhou still seems to be seriously ill, and he did not go to the court much, only the ministers presented the teacher's table, and the king of Zhou also gave his father a nickname, a large number of I don't remember." ”

Nangong Shi frowned: "Everywhere is guarded, there is no change?"

"Nope. Ji Shuqian shook his head and said, "Except for the previous transfer of Dou Rong to Bishui Pass, there has been no change. ”

"It's also weird. Nangong Shi muttered to himself: "Is the King of Xuan really sick and confused? Although I am not sure that I will be able to fight straight to the court, but it is not too difficult to capture two or three checkpoints, is there another plan? Listening to Prime Minister Jiang Cheng's speculation, it is very likely that the King of Xuan is fraudulent, could it be that everything is in the calculation?"

Nangong Shi thought about it again and again, and sighed:

"It's a pity that there is not enough time to confirm, we must hurry up and seize the opportunity to tackle key problems, if it drags on any longer, the army will be slack. ”

Ji Shuqian saw Nangong Shi muttering for a long time, and said impatiently: "Why should the general be suspicious? He just has a plan, and we have to tackle key problems, I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and I will definitely be the first to rush forward.

"The general was a little impatient. Nangong Shi shook his head and walked to the front of Yutu and groaned.

Ji Shuqian couldn't wait, and continued to urge: "Just like what was discussed before, it's not enough to attack Bishui Pass directly, if it is successful, then follow the route of the war, capture the five passes, and contact the princes of all walks of life, and come to the eighteenth princes to ask for it." ”

"Why the Eighteenth Road?"

"I'm less afraid that I can't fight, and more I'm afraid that the faint king will surrender without a fight, and the eighteenth road is just right. ”

Nangong Shi looked at the map for a while, but shook his head and said: "Bishui Pass is not so easy to fight, although the main army of Dashang is still in a stalemate with the Baiyue tribes in the south, and there are many slaves and women in the Chaoge, but there are a lot of garrison troops in various passes, and north of Bishui Pass, there is also Jiameng Pass, and the two passes form a corner to support each other." ”

"Now that we are rashly attacking Bishui Pass, it's okay to go down in a battle, if we delay for a day or two, the merchant army will soon notice that the guards of Jiameng Pass will inevitably send troops to support, outflanking us before and after, but we have been cut off from retreating, how can we succeed?"

Ji Shuqian said: "So, let's change our course and turn north to attack Jiameng Pass?"

Nangong Shi was speechless, isn't it the same? Fight the Bishui Pass and Jia Mengguan to support, and if you hit the Jia Dream Pass, he will also support the Bishui Pass!

Nangong Shi patiently explained: "We still have to attack Bishui Pass, but we still need to send another way of soldiers and horses to hold the stone pavilion, as long as we hold the stone pavilion, the reinforcements of Jiameng Pass will not be able to pass, so that our army can no longer have to worry about the future, rest assured to attack the Bishui Pass, although it is still not possible to drive straight into the Chaoge, but after that, there is a danger to defend, you can fight steadily and steadily, and continue to attack the last four checkpoints." ”

Lei Zhenzi muttered: "The vanguard army only has 100,000 soldiers and horses, and it needs 10,000 people to stay behind, and 10,000 people to guard the stone pavilion, so it can only use 80,000 soldiers and horses. ”

"The reputation of the main general of Bishui Pass is not obvious, but it is still a heroic pass through the ages, it is difficult to overcome, if the Jiameng Pass guard will learn the news that our army is guarding the stone pavilion, and quickly reinforce, the stone pavilion is not easy to defend with only 10,000 people, if the Jiameng pass guard will be clever again, I am afraid that we will arrive at the stone pavilion one step earlier, and even the garrison ambush...."

Lei Zhenzi just doesn't know how to understand the world, but he is not a reckless man, in addition to cultivation in Zhongnan Mountain, he is reading books, not only strong in martial arts, but also knows the art of war.

Nangong Shi nodded and said approvingly: "Yes, in this case, the troops need to be divided into two ways." ”

Uncle Ji was puzzled and said: "Divide the troops? The vanguard force is insufficient, if the troops are divided, they have to wait until the army is assembled, and the 100,000 troops will have to be divided, which will inevitably be ......"

"General Nangong is trying to bluff?" Lei Zhenzi's eyes lit up, and he said: "Our troops are divided into two routes, on one side 60,000 troops attack Jiameng Pass, and on the other hand, 40,000 troops go to Bishui Pass, bluffing, pretending to attack in two ways, so that the Jiameng Pass guards will not dare to rashly send troops to Shiting, and then gradually reduce their troops and transfer troops to Bishui Pass?"

In fact, Lei Zhenzi's ability to smash the mountain mouth with a stick, even if a male pass is placed in front of him, he can forcibly break it, but the cause and effect are too great, and when it is not necessary, it is better to solve the problem in a mortal way, and the immortals of the sect are all singing, although there is no movement yet, but in case it alarms Luo Xuan, Lu Yue and the like, Lei Zhenzi also knows that he will not be happy.

"Yes, if the guards of Bishui Pass are young and vigorous, maybe they will send troops to support Jiameng Pass, and when the time comes, I can intercept and kill them halfway, or even take the opportunity to steal the pass. ”

Nangong Shi nodded in admiration, Lei Zhenzi is indeed a general, that is... It's ugly.

Lei Zhenzi gave up his hand and asked: "The last general is willing to lead the army to feint and attack Jiameng Pass!"

Nangong Shi smiled and said: "Very good, you can send troops first, I will postpone for a few days and then go to Bishui Pass, and finally meet ....."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ji Shuqian: "Please also ask the general to accompany General Nangong, it is better for me to lead these 60,000 soldiers and horses personally." ”

Ji Shuqian didn't say it explicitly, but the rustiness in his words instantly made Nangong Shi understand the problem.

Lei Zhenzi grew up in the mountains since he was a child, and he didn't know the other ninety-nine brothers, and Ji Chang died as soon as he returned to Xiqi, Lei Zhenzi's life experience didn't explain anything, this birdman suddenly came out and said that he was also everyone's brother, how could it work?

Raising a fox spirit in the palace of the king of the king has been criticized, what is the difference between us and a birdman as brothers?

Moreover, Ji Shuqian has a close relationship with Ji Dan, and he knows some of Ji Dan's speculations more or less, and for various reasons, he does not have a good face for Lei Zhenzi, Jiang Ziya and others.

Nangong Shi had to smile bitterly, although he was an old friend of Ji Chang, but in the end he was just a general with a foreign surname, and it was inconvenient to take care of the internal affairs of the Ji family, but to be honest, let him call a blue-faced and red-feathered birdman a brother, and he also felt embarrassed.

Lei Zhenzi just scratched his head and didn't quite understand, but seeing that Ji Shuqian insisted on doing so, he didn't think much about it, just said: "If my brother wants to lead the army to feint to attack Jiameng Pass, then I will go." ”

Uncle Ji snorted coldly and didn't say much.

A few days later, Ji Shuqian led 60,000 soldiers and horses and rushed directly to Shiting, pretending to attack Jiamengguan.

The war started, although Chaoge did not send an edict, but the main roads in various places had already been strictly guarded, and the spies and meticulous work did not stop, and the news was brought to Jiamengguan as soon as possible.

Ji Shuqian led his troops out of the stone pavilion, making a big fanfare, waving flags, and couldn't tell the number for a while.

The four brothers of the Demon Family, all four of whom look the same, their faces are like live crabs, and their beards are like copper wires, but fortunately, their skin colors are different, one or two of them are all flowery, the cyan is Moli Qing, the green is Moli Red, the white is Moli Hai, and the red is Moli Shou, which is easy to identify.

The four of them were playing mahjong in the gate at the time, which is the advantage of having more brothers, and there is no need to find someone to make up the numbers.

King Su is seriously ill, he ignores the court affairs for a few months, he doesn't let go of the fun, and he can get a new trick every day, such as this mahjong, which is really interesting.

"Four cylinders!"

"Eat!"

"I'm!"

Knowing that Ji Shuqian's army was coming, the soldiers and horses had arrived at Shiting, they were proud of their high martial arts and had magic weapons to protect themselves, so they didn't worry much, but they just sent someone to tell Dou Rong who was stationed in Bishui Pass about Xiqi's attack on Jiameng Pass.
