Li Tan pondered for a long time, the paper on the table was slightly blown by the wind, and a burst of ink fragrance wafted in the tent.

Xu Duan didn't dare to disturb Li Yuan.

Chen Wenman was even more cautious, for fear that his actions would interrupt Li Yuan's thinking.

For a long time, Li Tan pointed to a place on the map.

Xu Duan stepped forward, his eyes shining.

Li Tian said: "Fang Tianzheng is about to storm Pucheng and Jincheng. This is the place where the march must pass, and we should set up an ambush here. ”

Xu Duan said: "Your Excellency is reasonable, but here... What if Fang Tianzheng didn't pass through here with his troops?"

Li Xuan raised his eyes and pointed to another place.

The other is bordered by the boundary of Pucheng and adjacent to Jincheng.

But this place is a big river.

According to the map, between the two banks of this great river, the widest point is 30 zhang, and the shortest point is more than 10 zhang.

And the word "Turbulent Water" is marked next to the map.

This river must not be suitable for marching.

After thinking about it, Li Tan finally ordered.

"Send quickly to cut down the bridge over the embankment. Li said.

Xu Jian narrowed his eyes, revealing a thoughtful expression.

Xu Duan said: "It's easy to break the bridge, it's difficult to build a bridge, and I'm afraid it will be inconvenient to pass through this bridge in the future." ”

Li Xuan said lightly: "The passage is not something I have to think about now, it is the right thing to block the advance of Fang Tianzheng's army, as long as this battle is won, and then send someone to build a bridge, it will not block the passage." ”

Xu Duan didn't know how to refute for a while.

But if you think about it carefully, what Li said does make sense.

If the bridge is broken, Fang Tianzheng is passing through this place and cannot cross the river.

Unable to cross the river, Fang Tianzheng's trip could be greatly delayed.

Xu Duan said: "Since this is the case, the subordinates will arrange it." ”

Li Xuan nodded and said: "Not only that, but you also need to place three thousand archers, ambush next to the river bank, and wait for the opportunity to move, as long as Fang Tianzheng's army comes, shoot them directly!"

Xu Du's body was shocked, and he felt his blood boiling.

Killing, especially murder of thieves.

This made Xu Duan, a veteran who has been a veteran for many years, very excited.

The soldiers naturally wanted to spill blood on the battlefield, and soon he was going to arrange archers to prepare to ambush Fang Tianzheng, so he was naturally overjoyed in his heart.

Li Xuan continued: "The road of Shicai, there is also an ambush, that road is the closest road to Pucheng, you only need to ambush the heavy troops in the dark, wait for Fang Tianzheng to lead the troops to appear, and immediately shoot and kill." ”

Xu Duan nodded yes.

Xu Duan bowed to Li Yuan, and then slowly withdrew from the camp.

In the camp, only Li Zhi and Chen Wenman remained.

The two of them stared intently at the map, trying to guess Fang Tianzheng's march route from the map.

Suddenly, Chen Wenmanxiu's eyebrows furrowed, his lips opened slightly, and he said: "Senior brother, Fang Tianzheng is marching to fight, and he will definitely pass through Pucheng, and then pass through Jincheng from Pucheng, but... What if he skips Pucheng and takes a detour to Jincheng?"

Hearing this, Li Yuan's eyebrows jumped, and the muscles on his face twitched wildly.

He didn't think about it.

He stared at the map to observe the situation, if Fang Tian jumped over Pucheng and made a detour to Jincheng, then he would definitely pass through a lofty mountain.

This lofty mountain range, separating Qingzhou City and Jincheng, is like a giant dragon crawling on the ground, winding and undulating.

On weekdays, if ordinary people want to cross this lofty mountain, it will take five or six days to say the least.

Because of this lofty mountain, it is difficult to climb and walk.

But if there are elite soldiers in front of the road, the rear soldiers and horses swept all the way and arrived at Jincheng, it was only three or four days' work.

Li Zhen's brows jumped, and he immediately walked out of the camp.

Outside the tent, there was an open space, and in the open place, the soldiers were practicing.

At this moment, the figure of the sect leader Xu Qian was no longer visible, and it was replaced by another spear and stick leader.

The head of the gun and stick instructor taught the soldiers to practice marksmanship, and the soldiers practiced marksmanship, and their every move was full of strength and indomitable momentum.

Li Tan glanced at their training and stopped paying attention, and then Li Tan raised his eyes and looked at the boundless mountains and mountains in front of him.

This lofty mountain is the one that blocks Qingzhou City and Jincheng.

The mountain in front of you is 100 feet high, with lush trees, and geese can be seen circling from time to time.

Li Tan looked at it, this high mountain was endless, winding and twisting, like a giant dragon crawling on the ground, which really surprised him.

Li Cheng was amazed, the magic of nature is really amazing.

Chen Wenman is also quite praised, they have been here for three days, and every day facing this high mountain, they will feel a little emotional.

Carved by nature, the mountain looks like a dragon.

The momentum is magnificent and impressive.

After some admiration, Li Jian stared at Gao Shan and fell into deep thought.

Li Tan said in his heart, if Fang Tianzheng really led his troops to climb the mountain, it was very likely that he would be caught off guard.

Li Tan muttered to himself and said, "It seems that you have to set up defenses in advance." ”

Li Tan was outside the tent, pacing back and forth.

In the middle of the ring, Li Xuan summoned someone and asked him to inform Uncle Gong and Xiao Qingbi.

Not long after, Uncle Gong dragged Xiao Qingbi, who was fighting with his eyelids, to come.

Xiao Qingbi seemed to have broken all the bones in her body, and was dragged to Li Jiao by Uncle Gong with the clothes on her chest.

Li Zhen and Chen Wenman glanced at each other and smiled helplessly.

Uncle Gong let go of his hand, and Xiao Qingbi fell to the ground with a "poof".

Xiao Qingbi raised her eyelids, didn't pay much attention to it, turned over, changed to a comfortable position, and fell asleep on the spot.

Uncle Gong didn't pay attention to Xiao Qingbi, but touched his beard.

"What does Little Brother Li command?" Uncle Gong looked at Li Tan with a smile, and a pair of eyes seemed to be able to see what Li Tan was thinking.

Li Tan laughed and said, "I originally wanted to ask Uncle Gong for warmth, but Uncle Gong had already guessed that I had something to talk about, and it seems that I can't hide anything from Uncle Gong." ”

Uncle Gong said: "The old man only guessed that you had something to say, but he never guessed what you were doing. ”

Li Tan smiled and stretched out his hand to point at the mountain behind him.

Uncle Gong stared at Gao Shan and fell into thought.

Uncle Gong said: "Could it be that Little Brother Li thinks that Fang Tianzheng is very likely to lead his troops to jump over the high mountain?

Li Wei gave Uncle Gong a thumbs up, and his face was full of admiration.

Li Xuan said: "Fang Tianzheng wants to capture Pucheng, Jincheng, and the imperial capital, there are three marching roads, the first is to follow the steps, first attack Pucheng, then Jincheng, and then hit the imperial capital. The second is to cross the river and reach the big river at the junction of Pucheng and Jincheng. I have already sent troops to ambush the first and second roads, and it is estimated that Fang Tianzheng will not choose those two roads. And this third way is the mountain in front of you. ”

Uncle Gong nodded and said, "Although this mountain is towering, it is not difficult to climb. As long as the army marches to the front foot and sends troops and horses to open the way in front, a wide avenue can be reached. ”

Li Xuan said: "It's the pole, it's the pole, so this mountain has to be guarded against." ”

Uncle Gong said: "Okay, please trouble Xiaoyou to send soldiers and horses, and the old man will take Qingbi there." ”
