Chapter Forty-Seven: Night Talk in the Mountains

In June, it was the rainy season in Northern Qi. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info just now it was still a clear sky, and in a blink of an eye, it will be covered with dark clouds and torrential rain.

The trees in the mountains are lush and green, and wild animals come out from time to time. The river flows out of the mountains, accompanied by the song of the fish, and you can feel the gift of nature to the fullest.

However, the flames of war quietly burned here again.

Li Zhen led 50,000 soldiers and horses in Lamutu, the horses' hooves were clanging, the birds and beasts in the mountains were scattered, and where the troops walked, more than half of the trees and flowers were damaged, leaving patches of ruts and horseshoe prints.

"King, there is the realm of Huade ahead, and this is the only way for Huade to reach Lamutu. Liu Shanwu followed to the right of Li Zhen's horse and pointed to the towering mountain road ahead.

Li Zhen looked far away, and saw that the mountain road ahead was rugged and the terrain was steep, and it was indeed a natural pass.

"Young Master Long, how about you see us setting up an ambush here?" Li Zhen showed a strange smile on his face.

"As soon as I look at your kid's face, I know that you don't hold any good water in your heart. Long Xiao is too familiar with Li Zhen's signature smile, as long as he smiles secretly, he must have a ghost idea.

"How can you say that you haven't held back any good water? This is called a soldier who is not tired of cheating!" Li Zhen snorted and took a closer look at this place, it was really an excellent pass, as if he had seen the scene of Qin Ping's 200,000 soldiers and horses buried in the mountains.

"Liu Shanwu!"

"Your Majesty!" Liu Shanwu tightened his reins and obeyed the order.

"Send the order down, the whole army will camp on the top of the mountain, guard the pass, and not a single mouse will be allowed to let me go!" Li Zhen looked majestic, marching and fighting, Li Zhen has never been joking.

"Obey!" Liu Shanwu patted his horse and sent the order.

Li Zhen's army occupies the commanding heights of this mountain range, the mountain road is rugged, the enemy wants to pass, must break through Li Zhen's army camp, there is no other possibility of detour, a fierce battle is inevitable.

"Ge Dayou!" On this expedition, Li Zhen brought his five tiger generals, and Lamutu can be said to be out of the nest.

"King!" Ge Dayou's full beard still covered half of his face.

"You quickly send more spies out to report the movements of Qin Ping's army at any time. ”

"Obey!" Ge Dabeard is not very old, but he has a lot of beards, looks old, and has always been high-spirited in marching and fighting.

"Song Tianba!"

"King!" Song Tianba's voice was like a bell.

"You go and inspect the camps, do a good patrol, and strictly prevent the enemy from sneaking attacks!"

"Obey!" Song Tianba has also experienced a lot of wars with Li Zhen, and he still attaches great importance to patrolling.

The military arrangement is almost over, Li Zhen's camp is under a big pine tree on the mountainside, and Li Zhen, Long Xiao, Ziyan, Li Weibin, Wang Mingliang and others are sitting in the tent.

The big banner of Li Zi fluttered in the wind, and the soldiers outside the tent were all in good spirits, and there were many people who were not chaotic, and they performed their duties, which showed that they managed the army in a good way.

"Young Master Long, you said that Qin Ping really came to save Liu Ji's old thief?" Li Zhen couldn't figure it out, how could anyone be willing to die for him when Liu Ji was so evil.

Although Liu Ji is treacherous, but his disciples are also affectionate and righteous, in order to save Liu Ji, he mobilized troops privately, which is really "only Liu Ji, no court anymore" in the Wu Dynasty. Long Xiao really admired Liu Ji for his subordinates.

"Hmph! What is the specific, we don't know yet, maybe that Liu Ji is still carrying a major secret, otherwise it would be impossible to attract so many soldiers and horses!" Li Zhen guessed that it was still eight or nine.

"My lord, I have heard from people in the imperial court that Liu Ji seems to have a private underground treasure with countless gold, silver and jewels in it. Li Weibin is also hearsay, I don't know if this rescue of Liu Ji will have anything to do with the treasure.

"Oh, you mean Liu Ji still has a treasure trove?" Li Zhen glared at his round eyes, indicating that it was the first time he had heard that Liu Ji had such a treasure.

"I suspect that so many soldiers and horses are coming for Liu Ji's wealth. Li Weibin frowned and analyzed.

"It is also highly likely, whatever they are coming for, we must stop their attempts to draw the flames of war to Lamutu. "Li Zhen is ready to kill.

"Report!" the spies came on horseback, and everyone got up.

"Report, the 200,000-strong army of Qin Ping's army has crossed the estuary and is coming towards Huade, and there are only eighty miles left from our department. ”

"Okay! Got it, let's go down and explore!" Li Zhen frowned.

"Eighty miles away, probably tomorrow night. Long Xiao said.

"Yes! Li Weibin, you should quickly go down and inspect the progress of the fortifications of each battalion, and you must complete them before noon tomorrow. "Li Zhen didn't expect the enemy to come so quickly, the soldiers are very fast, presumably Qin Ping's tiger and wolf army is not an idle person.

"Yes!" Li Weibin also hurriedly went out.

This hilltop camp, the fortifications are the most critical, the field defense is not like in the city, there are already built walls, solid defense. In this mountain, all fortifications need to be done in advance, anti-impact guardrails, traps, log rolling stones, all of which need to be prepared by soldiers in advance.

"Young Master Long, I wonder if the enemy will have a monk come to help this time?" Li Zhen knew that Wutian Mountain had a good relationship with the imperial court, and the monks there would definitely come to help, and he thought of that Huo Lingzi again, and he still felt a little afraid.

"What are you afraid of? Soldiers will come to block the water and cover the earth, this is not a phrase you often like to say?" Long Xiao smiled slightly and looked at Li Zhen.

"Yes, but this time I don't know why, there is always a bad omen. Li Zhen was in a mess in his heart, always feeling as if something would happen suddenly.

Night fell, and the moonlight that was sprinkled in the barracks shone like day.

Li Zhen couldn't sleep, walked out of the Zhongjun tent, sat on a big rock, and looked at the night sky in the distance in a daze.

"Why don't you sleep?" Long Xiao suddenly walked behind Li Zhen and patted him on the shoulder.

"I can't sleep!" Li Zhen looked at Long Xiao, saw that he was holding a pot of wine in his hand, and continued to look at the sky in the distance, watching the stars blink and blink.

"Come have a drink?" Long Xiao handed over the flask.

"You are a disciple of Buddhism, you still dare to drink, I am not afraid that the Buddha will blame you!" Li Zhen took the wine jug, looked at Long Xiao, and took a sip,

"This is vegetarian wine, but it's okay to drink it!" Long Xiao also raised his head and sat with Li Zhen.

"You say that you live in the world, you don't have women, don't eat meat, drink wine or vegetarian wine, what's the point?" Li Zhen looked at Long Xiao with disdain.

"Haha...... How do you know I don't have a woman?" Long Xiao said with a smug smile.

"Yo! You still have a favorite woman? I thought you didn't eat the fireworks of the world! Tell me about it!" Li Zhen heard that such a boring Long Xiao actually had a woman's story, and his strong curiosity hit his heart, and he hurriedly pushed Long Xiao to let him tell it.

"Of course I have a woman, my woman! I won't tell you!" Long Xiao looked at Li Zhen with a particularly obscene expression, deliberately adjusting his appetite.

"Cut! What kind of person! Not enough brother at all!" Li Zhen was thinking about exploring Long Xiao's new world, but this kid deliberately refused to say anything.

"Why do you like to inquire about other people's privacy so much?" Long Xiao was particularly surprised by Li Zhen's characteristic.

"As long as you are not a normal person, normal people like to inquire, not to mention that we have such a good relationship, shouldn't we know everything and say everything?" Li Zhen continued to work hard to get a few words out of Long Xiao's mouth.

"I am a disciple of Buddhism, of course I will not touch the seven emotions and six desires again, the past is all in smoke, don't mention it!" Long Xiao thought for a while, but quickly regained his composure.

"How can I talk to you and just want to smoke you?" Li Zhen was blinded by Long Xiao's set of words, but he didn't spit out a word at all, which he wanted to hear.

"Haha...... Look at the sky full of stars, do they all have a favorite woman?" Long Xiao pointed to the sky.

"Hey, don't say it, the woman of the Cowherd Star is the Vega Star, how can there be anything wrong?" Li Zhen looked at the starry sky and smiled.

"Well, you're right, but aren't they still cut off by the Milky Way?"

"There are women in isolation, you can't say that people don't have it, the stars have love, let alone people! I look at you! Even the wood and stone are not as good. Li Zhen pointed to Long Xiao's nose and counted them down.

"If there is an afterlife, I am willing to be a stone and stand there forever with a proud posture, standing for eternity!" Long Xiao seemed to have endless stories in his eyes.

"If there is an afterlife, I will be myself and kill all the evildoers in the world!"

"Don't just talk about the next life, talk about it as if we are both going to die, talk about this war! What are the plans?" Long Xiao took the flask and raised his head and took another big sip.

"Haha...... Isn't it the first thing you started with?" Li Zhen pouted, "In this war, I am fighting for the people of the world, and I must fight without fighting, and the battle will be won!"

"Yes! The world is no longer the world of the people of the world, it has become the world of Liu Ji, the world of Qin Ping, Song Qing, Wang Lang and others. The imperial court is incompetent, the monks of the Five Heavens Mountain are abusive, and the people of the Wu Dynasty are suffering!" Long Xiao was anxious.

"The enemy has 200,000 soldiers and horses, and we only have 50,000, and this war will be extremely tragic! Li Zhen was afraid that Long Xiao would take care of the reputation of Buddhism, so he refused to pick up the butcher's knife.

"I naturally understand this! The journey of the Great Dao is in the sky! Hands stained with the blood of wicked people can also enter the Buddha Gate! It's just that I think I'm afraid it's not so simple this time, I have already felt the fluctuations of the spiritual power of the other party's monks, and the one who comes must be not shallow, and it is the key for us to subdue the other party's monks!" Long Xiao vaguely felt the subtle fluctuations of the spiritual power from afar, presumably the other party also felt Long Xiao.

"Planning is in the people, and the success is in the sky, although you deal with the monks in the enemy, as for the other 200,000 soldiers and horses, my five tigers will train the troops in the future!" Li Zhen said confidently. The five tigers under him: Li Weibin, Song Tianba, Ge Dayou, Liu Shanwu, and Wang Mingliang, all of them are young offspring tempered on the battlefield, and they are all real warriors who grew up with Li Zhen.
