Chapter 6: Smoke Locks Jiangnan (Part II)

Fifteen-year-old Li Xiubai strengthened his view that the combined army of the princes on the other side was vulnerable.

So he took the initiative to ask the vanguard general to lead a ten-person scout team to go out to reconnoiter the enemy, although he is a little prince, but the Li family is extremely strict in governing the army, and everything must be reported in strict accordance with the established plan, this is the iron discipline of the army, and he does not have any privileges.

The vanguard general of the Wei Wangcai is also surnamed Li, but he has no royal blood, but he is also a descendant of the first generation of Muwang's retainers, and he can follow his master for a lifetime to fight in the south and the north and finally be given a surname, and it is a national surname, which is also a great honor.

Li according to that Chinese New Year's Eve was six years old, just promoted to hussar general, led five thousand Wei Wang to gallop to Luoyang, before leaving, King Mu personally handed over the little prince to him, and said that Li Xiubai from this moment on, that is an ordinary scout, the reason why he entered the scout team is because his Chengtian Sword and Huanglong Duel have been Xiaocheng, and the bow and crossbow are extremely talented, and the battlefield will never drag down his comrades, Li Zhi was a little panicked at the time, feeling that the pressure on the little prince alone is far greater than the enemy he needs to face this time, the prince can not care, how can he not care?

And with the cleverness of the third prince, the prince doesn't care?

In the end, he found his friend Yan Zhen to ask for advice, but he didn't expect that the usually scheming Yan family just patted him on the shoulder comfortingly, and said with a gloating face:

"What an honor, bless. ”

"You ......"

Li felt that it seemed true that the book had crooked his nose, and at that time he felt that he had been crooked by Yan Zhen.

In fact, he belongs to the Fulong faction in the army, and thinks that His Majesty is mediocre and self-serving, and the great rivers and mountains are now fragmented and the people are not able to make a living, all of which are caused by his arrogance and indulgence and excessive fishing, and he is completely to blame. And the shepherd king is strict and self-denying in both governing the territory and the army and the family, and leads by example, so the soldiers are strong and strong, and the wealth of the nine counties in the south of the Yangtze River is less than the intensive cultivation and painstaking work of the pastures of the past dynasties?

Li Yi knew that as a retainer of the Muwang, he should not have such an idea, the Muwang did not have the ambition to chase the world, and often warned them not to have the heart of rebellion, and persuaded the Muwang to go north to Luoyang to replace him, which was originally the biggest rebellion in the world! But the leading generals of the young and middle-aged generations all feel unworthy for the king of the pasture, the only place where Xun Feiyu has a lot of complaints about the king of the herd is the stubbornness of the king of the herd, since ancient times, it should be lived by the capable, and it is still a virtuous and capable person, who dares to say that it is inappropriate to replace the world?

After seeing Li Xiubai's letter of request, Li Ju scratched his hair, and felt that the cup of good tea in the cup suddenly became unpalatable? Could it be that the Shangwu Academy teacher who gave him tea was shoddy? No matter how he smelled the aroma of the tea, he felt that it was inferior.

It seems that the matter of Ye Beisheng, who is taught by the Shangwu Academy, wants to marry his sister Li Yue'er has to be reconsidered! Where did Ye Beisheng, who was far away in Sunan County, want to get his life's major events, and he was almost lost because of a letter of invitation to war from the third prince? This unjustified disaster still belongs to the kind of unreasonable thing to say.

Just when Li Ju was scratching his ears and cheeks, Wang Chongguang, a military strategist, opened the tent curtain and walked in, stood by the door and washed his hands, took off the standard war knife on his waist and hung it carefully, as soon as he turned around, he saw Li Ju's expression and knew what he was worried about, and secretly laughed in his heart, not that he had any perfect strategy, even if Zhuge was resurrected, it was not as good as the sword on the battlefield without eyes, but about the matter of the third prince, Yan Zhen had already obtained a tip from the king of Mu, what he was afraid of was that when he encountered today's situation, Li Xiubai's brain was hot to fight, and he underestimated the enemy!

And no matter who is the vanguard general, it will be like a needle and needle in the back, so the old king has arranged it himself, and what kind of stupid things his son will do when he is young is of course clear as a father.

It's just that Yan Zhen thinks that Li is very boring at a glance, and his style of doing things has to be trained and trained, so he is worthy of his identity as a friend!

So he didn't reveal anything that day, but told the ins and outs of the tips to the army strategist Wang Chongguang, telling him when he needed to take it out to Li Ju, not too early, of course not too late, otherwise Li Ju would really be in trouble.

They don't care about the general's march and fight, they are only responsible for sorting out and analyzing all kinds of intelligence, and are responsible for analyzing the confrontation situation to the soldiers participating in the battle according to the actual situation before the two armies fight, and are responsible for the army's food and horse control, their official positions are generally half a level lower than the accompanying general, this half level is very knowledgeable, Xun Feiyu and Yan Zhen thought hard for a long time before deciding, the same official position will inevitably hinder each other, which is not conducive to the general's temporary command of the sudden change in the battle situation, it is too low, what you say in the barracks, Jianyan is a fart, sometimes it may not be a fart, half a level, just right.

Moreover, the military advisers are not under the jurisdiction of the military, they only obey the dispatch of the Tongwen Academy, so as to avoid collusion between the general and the military advisers as much as possible.

At the beginning, the battle-hardened old generals were a little scoffed, originally the literati and the military generals were a pair of enemies who had not been reconciled for thousands of years, usually you Qingliu literati just made a lot of nonsense in the court, and now you run to Lao Tzu's territory to point fingers? Old man, look at you first or stretch out your feet first, reach out and break your hand, stretch out your feet and cut your feet!

So when this strategy was first implemented, there was actually a lot of resistance, but under the severe reprimand of the king of the shepherd, he still persisted, and after a few big battles, everyone found that the military camp that paid attention to the military strategists of the Tongwen Academy was always the least casualty and the greatest combat achievements, and gradually the old horsemen in those military camps began to accept it, until today, the status of the military strategists in the army has long been different from the past, and it is the most appropriate to describe it in the past.

There are only eight words on the bag: life and death are conceited, and they have nothing to do with Qing.

Therefore, Li Xiubai triumphantly selected nine scouts, straightened out all the equipment, and took advantage of the twilight to touch the enemy camp.

There are light enemies, but to say that Li Xiubai is completely hot-headed, it is too underestimated to underestimate the third prince, he waved his hand to stop the horse at a position of seven or eight miles away from the enemy camp, and then he used light skills alone to sweep a big tree to watch, in addition to the brightly lit enemy camp in the distance, there are also many enemy scouts who keep shuttling back and forth, but there is no law to follow, after observing for a while, he found that there is a high mountain about ten miles away on the left side of the enemy camp, which should be an excellent sentry post for them to lurk up, and immediately took the remaining nine people around the past。

The top of the mountain, called Sleepy Dragon Mountain, is indeed an excellent outpost position, and a sheep intestine path leads to the top of the mountain, which is extremely easy to defend and difficult to attack. Naturally, the alliance of princes is not really full of rice buckets and straw bales, and a scout is also stationed on it.

But ten people against ten people, there is nothing too difficult for Li Xiubai, and he also understands that the other nine people handed over to him by Li Ju are all veteran scouts who have experienced a hundred battles, and they know their strength just by the cocoon on the tiger's mouth.

The problem was not on Li Xiubai's side, when the last enemy scout was blocked on the top of the mountain, he found that he was only a twelve or thirteen-year-old child, younger than himself, with a pair of clean eyes watching his comrades being killed one by one has become numb and sluggish, of course, there is more panic and despair, the child's knife did not dare to pull out at all, just sat there trembling.

Li Xiubai stopped the knife that slashed at the child's neck, and then, it didn't take long for the ten of them to be besieged by an army of enemy troops, and to this day, the third prince didn't think it was the child's letter, but just felt sorry for the other nine robes.

There are about 1,000 people in a army, and 10 people are besieged by 1,000 people.

When he learned that there was only a scout of the Weiwang cavalry on the Sleepy Dragon Mountain, the enemy commander began to lead his troops to attack without any hesitation.

No, Tian Cai doesn't want such a person to plant!

But after losing more than 30 people in the first round of charge, I only knew that there was a young scout on it who looked very handsome, and his swordsmanship was very powerful!

There are not no masters in the army, so Commander Wu specially arranged for a few masters of the rivers and lakes to be absorbed during the second wave of attacks.

In the second round, the two people killed in the battle on the top of the mountain were both killed by the masters of the rivers and lakes using hidden weapons! And brought back an extremely shocking news, the young scout above actually used the Chengtian Sword Technique and the Yellow Dragon Duel, then his identity is very clear, the little prince of the Muwang Mansion, Li Xiubai.

Knowing that Li Xiubai was trapped on the top of the mountain, Commander Wu immediately changed his strategy, besieged but did not attack, and captured one Li Xiubai alive, which was not equivalent to mastering half of Jiangnan Province?

As a result, the enemy troops trapped under the Dragon Mountain soon became 20,000, and more enemies were still redeploying in the direction of Luoyang, surrounding a lonely mountain layer by layer! The name of this mountain is really worthy of its name, although Li Xiubai is not a true dragon emperor, but he also has the blood of the dragon clan flowing in his body.

There is a small spring on the top of the mountain, which can barely sustain the remaining eight people with daily drinking water, but scouts usually only bring one day's dry food, as is the case with the scouts of the king of the shepherd, and the same is true of the scouts of the enemy.

By the time they persisted until the fourth day, Li Xiubai and the eight people had no grain left.

Every day the enemy army will send a lobbyist to persuade him to surrender, in order to prevent a sneak attack, Li Xiubai led people to stuff the only passage into the mountain with large stones, and also completely cut off the way of life for his group.

"I'm sorry everyone!"

Li Xiubai stood up and bowed to the remaining seven people to apologize, and also bowed down to the two robes that were hastily buried on the top of the mountain.

"Life and death are the same cave, fight for the shepherd!"

These are always the words that answer him.

The eldest scout patted him on the shoulder, and didn't say a word, because everyone was so hungry that their eyes were black, and it took strength to speak, but the meaning in his eyes was obvious, you have done a good job!

On the sixth day, when Li Xiubai was drinking water, he actually found more than a dozen yam eggs in a small depression in the rock crevice on the top of the mountain! The surprise at that moment brought tears to the tears of this fifteen-year-old boy for the first time in his life.

On the ninth day, when Yue Zheng, the general of the Weiwang cavalry, took Li Ju to personally remove the big stone blocking the mountain road, he found that Li Xiubai was sitting in the leeward with the rest of the seven people, roasting yam eggs!

In addition to the black and dirty face, the little prince seemed to be intact all over his body, which made Yue Zheng and Li Ju couldn't help but burst into tears!

Since then, Li Xiubai's residence has always prepared a lot of yam eggs, and it is customary to put a few on the side of the fire when roasting in winter, first, to eat that smell, and secondly, not to remind himself not to forget the robes in the army?
