Wanwang Liu Cao regretted a little, regretting that he should not have beheaded the envoy sent by Meng Daxi to negotiate. Now he is in a difficult situation.

This is the camp of the Yue army in Zhuya, and Liu Cao, the king of Wanwang, convened a meeting of several important generals. In this campaign, the king Liu Cao was in charge, Qiong Xian was the military advisor, and Liang Keshou was the supervisor.

Now there seems to be only one way to choose in front of Liu Cao, and that is to withdraw the army.

When Liu Cao sent his troops to Zhuya, he was full of spirit and wanted to take Danzhou in one fell swoop. However, after entering the Pearl Cliff, he found that the Pearl Cliff was not the Pearl Cliff he wanted. There is nothing to eat here, and thousands of people in the entire Pearl Cliff City are still waiting for him to distribute food. It turned out that this was what his father meant when he said useless place, that is, where there was no benefit in robbing.

Now, the 20,000 soldiers and horses brought by Liu Cao are scared to death of the grain and grass they have to eat every day. His grain and grass officials calculated it and didn't last for a month.

The hateful thing is the time, April, back to the south of the sky. After Liu Cao's boat arrived at Zhuya, the south wind kept blowing. From Zhuya to Danzhou is to go south, the giant ship relies on the wind, and the headwind can only paddle. If you paddle to Danzhou, I'm afraid you won't be able to get there in half a month. And rowed, the soldiers sat on the boat for half a month, where can they still fight!

"How many days does it take to send troops along the coast and walk to Danzhou?" Liu Cao asked Xing Wu, who went to explore the way.

Xing Wu: "Enlighten the kings, the army will go to Danzhou on foot, and there will be no delay on the road, at least seven or eight days." But this road is not easy to walk, on one side by the sea, on the other side by the mountains. The enemy is easy to ambush. Especially the eight turns, this place is extremely dangerous, and it can be said that the terrain is incomparable. Meng Daxi has already colluded with Li Yanshan, who has turned eight corners, but I'm afraid that Li Yanshan won't let us pass!"

Chi Sangun is now the temporary vanguard officer of Wanwang, "I also went to this road, and the terrain of Badaogui is indeed dangerous." However, Lord Wang, please let me lead a small team to occupy this place first and capture the group of mountain bandits in Yanshan Pass. Wouldn't it be okay to let the army pass by?"

Liu Cao asked Liang Keshou, "Does the teacher (Liang Keshou) think what these two people said yesterday is true?"

Yesterday, Liu Cao and Liang Keshou met with two special guests, Kushiyama Gong of Yanshan and Pei Xian'an of Apodong. The two came to negotiate with Liu Cao on behalf of the Li family of the six major mountains in Qiongshan.

Liang Keshou shook his head, "I think these two people are just a straw coward, and they can't do what they say." Yanshan Pass and Apo Pass belong to the periphery of Danzhou, and the Danzhou City we are going to attack has nothing to do with them. They are only here to get some benefits and to understand our attitude towards the top 10 mountains. ”

Xing Wu: "The top ten mountains in Qiongshan are each in their own way, and the words of the lord of one side shall prevail." Li Yanshan, the owner of Yanshan Mountain, is a maverick. No matter what the Duke of Kushiyama says, Li Yanshan will also act according to his own ideas. ”

The master of Chi Sangun is a confused fat old man, and now he is a diner of Wanwang. Considered a special guest. The big confusion said: "If the prince's army really has to go through eight turns, the old man will help the three guns to fight together." It's okay to take the head of the owner of this Yanshan Mountain. ”

Xing Wu: "Old Xu (big confused) can't be careless, listen to the news of the spies in Danzhou City." Meng Daxi has a martial arts idiot by his side, and his martial arts are extremely high. It is the master of Meng Chengke, the commander of the guards, and the ten close guards of Meng Daxi are not worth the martial idiot. With such an important position in Badaogui, Meng Daxi will definitely take precautions. ”

Liu Cao: "I'm not worried that I won't be able to cross the eight turns. I'm worried about Danzhou City, if we fight Danzhou is the same as Zhuya, the slang people have no food. The army has no help, and this is the biggest trouble! Xing Wu, how much grain is there in Danzhou City, and there is no news at all?"

Xing Wu: "Danzhou slang people mainly use sweet potatoes to satisfy their hunger. The granary has heavy handles, so outsiders can't see it. ”

Liang Keshou: "Lord Wang, grain and grass are the highest secret of the army. Not long after General Xing went to Danzhou, it was normal that he could not find any news. However, Meng Daxi's army layout should be figured out!"

Xing Wu: "Back to the Liang Supervision Army, at present, Meng Daxi's main forces are in Danzhou City, and they seem to have a lot of trust in the city wall built by Meng Lang, the minister of Zuo. There were also three detachments stationed on the hill outside the city. However, there is also news from his subordinates that Meng Daxi has raised a group of sharks in Danzhou Bay, and I heard that they will also be used for combat. But the subordinates didn't know how the shark could help them. ”

Liang Keshou: "Last time I was in Jiaozhou, I saw sharks killing people. If our ship breaks down and someone falls into the sea, it will surely become bait for sharks. Could it be that they want to start a war with us at sea?"

Liu Cao: "Meng Daxi's level shouldn't think that's the case, right? On land, we were stopped by eight turns, and sharks on the sea were stopped by sharks. If he thinks so, it would be child's play. ”

Liang Keshou: "No matter what Meng Daxi plans, we need to take Danzhou City within a month." ”

Liu Cao: "Not only to take Danzhou City, but also to arrest Meng Daxi and strictly prevent him from making a comeback." It is also necessary to defeat the Qiongshan Li family, lest this group of so-called lords take the opportunity to become bigger, and then take the old road of Meng Daxi. ”

Chi Sangun: "Lord Wang, should we kill it now?"

As soon as these words came out, he poured a basin of cold water on Liu Cao to make him sober up. How to send troops? If there is no north wind, how can we send troops? Liu Cao misses the military advisor a little, and if Qiong Xian is here, you can also ask her to calculate when the north wind will come! If there is no north wind, there is a high probability that the troops will be withdrawn.

Liu Cao remembered another strength, "Xing Wu, the convener of Qiongshan, have you found one or two such people?"

Xing Wu: "Yes, I heard that Feng Zishan, the former governor of Danzhou, is very likely to be one of the conveners. was still imprisoned in prison by Meng Daxi yesterday, and was rescued last night. ”

Liu Cao: "Can you find anyone else?"

Xing Wu: "There is a Zhifeng Lao who is one of the conveners who specially contacted the top ten mountains, but our people have not been able to find him. By the way, Lord Wang, the national teacher appeared in the old city of Danzhou. ”

Liu Cao also felt strange, "This woman has been in Daxing Mansion for more than ten years, and it is impossible for her to be a slang spy." And she doesn't know about our army, but what is she doing there?"

Xing Wu: "With her are the eight-armed Hengjiang Zeng Si and the one who shot and killed the female Baili, in addition, there is also a Danzhou celebrity Li Weide next door to them, this person is also speculated to be one of the conveners of Qiongshan." Didn't the prince send her?"

Liu Cao has a headache, he can control what the national teacher wants to do!"How could the eight-armed blood demon follow her?"

"What, the eight-armed blood demon appeared in Danzhou?" exclaimed Xu Lao and Chi Sangun. Yes, they are looking for Zeng Yiqi, and they want to avenge Xiao Hu'er.

Xing Wu: "Exactly, I see that they also obey the orders of the national teacher, so I thought they were people sent by the prince, so I didn't follow them anymore." ”

Liu Cao: "Hmph, it seems that the eight-armed Hengjiang is fascinated by this woman! You go to Danzhou again and ask her what the situation is." ”

"Yes, Lord Wang!"

"The eight-armed Hengjiang followed the national teacher, presumably it must be a friend but not an enemy, Xu Lao, three guns, if you want to take revenge, wait until you take Danzhou City before you do it!"

"Obey the prince's arrangement. ”

"Master, I want the three guns to take a team to the vicinity of Danzhou City to make some noise. Let's bluff first, so that Meng Daxi doesn't have a good life, what do you think?"

"That's very good. ”

Wild troubled times, uninhibited rivers and lakes
