Mountains and forests are on fire, burning dead creatures.

As the fire broke out, the royal armor soldiers marching in the dense forest withdrew one after another and stationed outside the mountain forest. Looking at the smoke from afar as the sky turned into a tornail, everyone's faces became extremely ugly, and Long Gongzi's expression was also gloomy. He didn't need to be reminded by others, and he didn't need to wait for the information to be sent back, he already knew that the murderer was lucky. It's just that as the commander of the army, he must hide his anger in all shapes...

The dragon fan swayed, waving a cool breeze and a lot of warmth, and the jade lion beast under the seat not only whispered, as if feeling the plight of its companion and was restless.

It didn't take long...

"Bastard!"

"Bastard! He dared to lie to me and make me angry!"

"Da Da Da..."

Dozens of people and horses scurried out of the dense forest.

The former majesty of the second son of the dragon is no longer there, the brilliant golden armor is scorched black by the smoke and fire, and even the helmet has fallen to the point where he doesn't know where. Messy and scorched with a fever of nearly half, the tiger's eyes were angry, and two sledgehammers hung on the lion's back in despair. After rushing out of the dense forest, he vented his anger vigorously, drinking and scolding. It can be seen that he is quite unwilling to eat today.

After all, this battle should have been secure.

Now he's a miserable defeat...

"Brother Huang, if I don't avenge this revenge, I won't be a hero!"

"When I take down Gu Fan and Xia Xun, I will definitely skin and tear them apart!"

The second son of Long led dozens of remnants of the army and traveled from afar.

The dragon fan shook lightly, not shocked, looking at his imperial brother who had suffered a big loss, Long Gongzi felt a little funny for some reason, and his gloomy face also dispersed a lot.

"If you don't listen to me when I tell you to think twice on weekdays, you will suffer a big loss today, right?"

"Humph!"

The second son of Long snorted angrily, took the water bladder handed by others, drank it all in one gulp, and said angrily: "Brother Huang, look at it." It won't be long before I, Li Yuanba, will be able to break them into pieces!"

Long Gongzi chuckled and shook his head: "Come on, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." As he spoke, Long Gongzi glanced at the black-armored man beside him and asked, "How many men and horses have you lost?"

The black-armored man pondered for a moment in his heart, and then replied with considerable concern: "The pillar of light has a total of five hundred and seventy notes, and if it doesn't come out, all of them should be dead." ”

"Heh..."

The smile condensed into a ruthless color, and Long Gongzi nodded noncommittally: "Okay, there will be five hundred battle horses in one photo." Five hundred horsemen, five hundred horsemen... This human life and feelings are such child's play?"

"Humph!"

The second son of Long didn't seem to hear the reproach in Long Gongzi's words, but when he heard the loss, he was also angry. Then he smashed his knee with a big fist, and said fiercely: "Bastard, it's all gone." Brother Huang, without further ado, they have few men and horses but a lot of baggage, and they will not be able to run far, we will lead the army to pursue us now, and we will definitely be able to kill him without leaving a piece of armor!"

"Huh. ”

The smile is yin and flat, if this person is not his royal brother at the moment, Long Gongzi will definitely slap it over. The dragon fan waved gently, in order to take care of the face of the second son of Long, the son of Long had a lot of fires in his life, and said with a wry smile: "Yuanba, don't worry, this matter still needs to be considered in the long run, you should all suffer losses and buy lessons, and there will be a time when you will take revenge in the future." As he spoke, Long Gongzi turned his head to the black-armored man and said again: "Spread the gods and machine military divisions of various armies, as well as Hanlin Bai Lingyun. ”

"Yes!"

The black-armored man immediately responded to the order, turned his horse's head and marched towards the rear army escorting grain and grass.

The army rested for a while, and it didn't take long for the departing black-armored man to walk back with more than a dozen men and horses.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and I've seen His Royal Highness the Second Prince. ”

"You don't have to be polite. ”

Dozens of people came from the royal horse, Qi Qile stopped his mount, and at the same time hugged his fists and saluted the two sons of the Long family, and the sons of the dragon waved their hands casually. The visitors were all dressed in steel helmets and iron armor, holding iron whips and steel rulers and other blades, and at a glance they knew that they were soldiers with status in the army. Only a gray-robed Confucian stands out, which is very eye-catching. What is even more striking is the three-foot scroll he is holding, which is not paper but animal skin, inlaid with silver filigree jewelry, which is an expensive object at a glance.

Seeing the scroll, the annoyance in Long Gongzi's heart eased a little again. He smiled inexplicably. Facing Confucius, he asked with a smile, "Brother Lingyun seems to have come prepared?"

The gray-robed Confucian is none other than Bai Lingyun, the chief of the Hanlin Academy.

He held the scroll in his wrist and his fist in both hands, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The son has issued an order and the battle situation is urgent, so I don't dare to slack off, so I am ready to come." ”

Long Gongzi smiled again and asked, "What you have prepared, but the strategic map of Fangcun Mountain?"

"It's the strategic details of the square inch. Bai Lingyun replied.

"Haha. ”

Long Gongzi suddenly laughed inexplicably: "I have long heard that the chief of the Hanlin Academy, Bai Lingyun, has extraordinary wisdom, and he can be worthy of the countrymen of my generation. If you see it today, you will know the meaning of the people when you hear the order, and you will know the cause and effect when you see the situation. ”

"Gongzi Xie praised. ”

Bai Lingyun replied lightly without joy or worry, and his tone was just right, neither letting people think that he was noble, nor would he make people feel that he was overjoyed, and he had the style of a Confucian scribe.

Young Master Long saw Bai Lingyun's reaction in his eyes, carefully calculated it in his heart for a moment, and then brought the topic back to the main text, and said: "Since Brother Lingyun brought a detailed plan, he must have already known my intentions, and also deduced the northerners' plot and Xia Xun's motives, right?"

Bai Lingyun was still neither humble nor arrogant: "Xia Xun inherited the ghost and plotted the Taoism, and the art of scheming was already close to the demon, and he did not dare to speculate on his intentions with shallow knowledge, so he could only help Gongzi deduce his deeds with his micro-end arithmetic." ”

The dragon fan shook slightly, and Long Gongzi shook his head helplessly.

In the face of such a gentle, elegant and extremely humble Confucian student, even if he has countless people, it is inevitable that he will not have a feeling of knowing where to start.

Without further ado, he stretched out his hand and asked, "Then you can talk about it." ”

"Yes. ”

Bai Lingyun dismounted in response, and then handed the scroll in his hand to the two sergeants on the side, one of them grabbed one end, and slowly spread it out...

The scroll was opened to a width of six feet, and in addition to the most basic map painting, there were also many ant-sized words densely remarked, Bai Lingyun walked a step and stood in front of the map, stretched out a hand and pointed to the square inch mountain pass, and said slowly: "Xia Xun led more than 400 troops, and the heavy grain and grass far exceeded the standard configuration of the normal march by nearly ten times. They entered from the east to the west, and there were six dangerous places on the west side of the square that were most suitable for the garrison. Anta and Luha are too close to the mountain pass, and it is difficult to be peaceful in a short time. Qu Long and Huishan are the places where soldiers must fight, and sooner or later there will be war, and it cannot be what he wants now. Salamanders are inherently dangerous, but the mountain trails are rugged and difficult to settle down and hunt for. Only the West Pole Fish Wood Village is surrounded by mountains on three sides and is backed by the river, which can be attacked and defended, and fishing by the river can solve the worries of food. ”

"Well..."

Long Gongzi listened carefully to Bai Lingyun's analysis, and there were not too many different colors, but he nodded slightly in approval: "It makes sense, Yumu Village is indeed very likely to be Xia Xun's ambush place." This is more than 19,000 miles away from Yumu Village, and they have a lot of baggage, even if they are fast and fast, it will take at least two days. In your opinion, can our army take the opportunity to pursue it?"

Bai Lingyun shook his head: "I didn't think there was a need for this. Xia Xunxing's plot has always been unpredictable, since he dares to prepare ten times the standard baggage on the road, there must be ten times the usual tricks hidden in the shadows, if our army persevers and follows, the current battle situation may be repeated. ”

"Hmph, I don't believe it's going to happen again!"

Bai Lingyun took the current defeat as a warning, and immediately aroused the displeasure of the second son of Long: "I was not prepared before, so I let them succeed. Now that I'm prepared, how can they still have an ambush?"

"The second brother is reckless, and marching is different from jousting. The way of strategizing and deploying troops is strange and unpredictable, and it is not something you can prevent if you want to. Isn't it possible that there are 600 people lost in the blink of an eye, and you still can't learn a lesson?"

Long Gongzi raised the fan and reprimanded him, stopping Long Ergongzi's words. After saying that, he looked at Bai Lingyun again and asked, "If you don't chase after us, will you let him finish slapping us and leave?" The lives of 600 soldiers are not child's play. ”

"It's not that you don't chase it, it's that you chase it in a different way. Bai Lingyun said.

"What do you think?" asked Long Gongzi.

"Takami didn't dare, just suggested. ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”

Bai Lingyun turned sideways to face the map, raised his hand and pointed at Yumu Village and said: "Yumu Village is a natural danger, as long as Xia Xun occupies this place, even if we have dozens of times the enemy's troops, we can only attack desperately, and the offensive and defensive consumption is even greater than that of our army." However, Yumu Village itself has a fatal flaw, it is very close to the boundary of the examination room, so we can first camp troops near Yumu Village, and then take the opportunity to rob and kill when the first golden bell rings. This is self-defeating. ”

Long Gongzi was slightly displeased and shook his head: "Although this strategy is good, I don't want to wait for the first bell to ring, so what?"

Bai Lingyun seemed to expect Long Gongzi to take a look at this, and immediately said again: "If Gongzi doesn't want to wait, you can try to make the second suggestion and divide the troops to besiege." Saying that, Bai Lingyun pointed and drew a circle up and down Yumu Village: "Our army has more than 8,000 troops, and now it has lost 600 soldiers, but it is still powerful." If the pursuit inevitably requires the division of troops into multiple routes, if the division of troops the enemy will have an opportunity, losses are inevitable. In this case, the son might as well let them be stable for a few days, and our army will move forward cautiously, and then divide the troops to outflank the three mountains before the Yumu Village, cut off its river, block its main roads, and make the dangerous land into a desperate situation, and we will attack it in detail. In this way, you can maintain stability and can also strike later. ”

Long Gongzi thought for a moment, and seemed to feel that this strategy was acceptable. Then he turned his eyes to look at the dozen or so sergeants who came with Bai Lingyun and asked, "What do you think of this strategy?"

The sergeants weighed for a moment, exchanged several rounds of glances with each other, and then one of them clasped his fists and replied, "The last general thinks that this policy is the best policy and can be implemented." ”

"Yes. ”

When Long Gongzi heard this, his face was more affirmative.

He looked at Bai Lingyun again and said, "Then let's act according to your policy." Saying that, Long Gongzi did not hesitate any longer, his voice was seven points louder, and he shouted towards the whole army: "The whole army listens to the order." ”

"In!"

Thousands of armor are drunk, and the sound is instantaneous.

Long Gongzi said again: "The army is divided into eight routes, Huben and Cangyun are the front army, Tiance and Yulin are the middle army, and the rest of the people are waiting for the back road. He traveled 6,000 miles a day, and two days later, he set up camp on the southeast and north sides of Yumu Village, and waited for dispatch. ”

"Order!"
