"The Mongolian Yuan people have a strong army, and there is no regular army to resist in the northwest. Even if there are local righteous men who stand up, it is meaningless to the million Mongolian Yuan army..."
Wu Yiyi looked at the map, and his face became more and more solemn: "So, the possibility that Brother Meng will divide his troops cannot be ruled out. At the time, Kuoketai Menglie had been in the Northwest for at least two years, so he must know the Northwest very well. As long as Violent is not a fool , when you leave, you must bring the topographic map of the Sui Dynasty with you."
His finger was in one place: "If I were Brother Meng, I would already know that we have hundreds of thousands of troops stationed in the east of the river, and there are naval divisions to stop us. Instead of investing all our troops in crossing the Yi River, why not A team of troops was separated and went south from Shuyang County, passing through Zhengcheng, Niuzhou, Maolai and heading straight to Mangdang Mountain. It is impossible for cavalry to cross Mangdang Mountain, so the wolf cavalry can only go here if they want to go to the southwest .”
"Spirit gate."
Wu Yiyi took a look at Fang Jie: "We can't go through the Lingmen Pass when we march from the southwest to the north, but we must go through the Lingmen Pass if we go from the northwest to the southwest. If Brother Meng's men are mostly infantry, he can pass through it regardless of the cost." Mangdang Mountain, and then cross the Yellow Niu River to go down to the southwest. But his men are all cavalry, and if the wolf cavalry gives up their horses to fight on foot, it will cost most of their lives, so if Meng Ge really divides his troops, he must go to the spiritual gate pass, and then cross the Qin River..."
This line is just behind the Black Banner Army.
Fang Jie heaved a sigh of relief: "To face the enemy, one must first think of what is best for the enemy, not what is best for oneself. The road that Lord Hou just mentioned is very important for Meng Ge. It is undoubtedly the best choice.”
Chen Xiaoru looked at it for a while, but he was not very good at military affairs, so he didn't dare to intervene indiscriminately.
Wu Yidao thought for a while and said: "That's right... If Meng Ge divides his troops, nine out of ten he will take the road of Lingmen Pass. After coming out of Lingmen Pass, you can go south and go straight to Southwest and Jiangnan. Go north. They took our back route... Although it is a long way to go around this way, it seems to be... "
Fang Jie followed his words and said, "Upper fist!"
His fingers slid across the map along the route Wu Yidao said: "Although it is indeed a long way to go this way, the Mongolian Yuan people are all cavalry, and the physical exertion of the soldiers has little effect on them. If there is no such a huge The cavalry team, this uppercut can't be hit at all."
Wu Yiyi frowned: "Now, should we take precautions in advance?"
He looked at the map and said in a heavy tone, "One hundred thousand troops have been dispatched to the northwest to join Chen Dingnan, and we have to face Gao Kaitai's troops. We don't know what Gao Kaitai is thinking. He is not moving now because he and the Mengyuan people are not on the same side. Yes, or is it because he is simply waiting for the Meng Yuan people? If Meng Ge really sends someone to take this road to copy behind us, this is the best time for Gao Kaitai. He is not moving now, it may not be because of Yang Jing Store your energy. Therefore, if we divide our forces to attack Lingmen Pass, and divide our troops to fortify the checkpoints along the way, our strength will be even weaker."
Fang Jie nodded: "If Gao Kaitai comes to see me, it is likely that he and the Mengyuan people are not on the same path. If he doesn't come... nine times out of ten, he is waiting for the Mengyuan people to copy behind me."
"It's really cruel."
Wu Yidao suddenly thought of those people in Moon Shadow Hall: "The people from Moon Shadow Hall assassinated the generals. In fact, they didn't expect Gao Kaitai to win because of this. The people from Moon Shadow Hall just wanted to disturb our sight. Then send experts Going to the southwest to try to assassinate the lord's wife and children, making the lord careless about the military... "
Chen Xiaoru was surprised: "It turned out to be a serial trick!"
"Nine times out of ten that's the case."
It was really hard for Wu Yidao to calm down: "Fortunately, my lord asked me to stay. Otherwise, there would be chaos in the army and no one in charge. Naturally, I wouldn't notice that the wolf riders were coming from the Lingmen Gate. Now the Lingmen Gate is still open. In the hands of Gao Kaitai's men and horses, if they are in collusion, it will be easy for the wolf to ride through the spiritual gate... "
"They just didn't expect that the Lord would return to the southwest so quickly!"
Wu Yidao continued to speculate: "If calculated according to the normal itinerary, it will take at least three months for my lord to return to the southwest. With these three months, it is more than enough for the wolf riders to walk from the northwest to Lingmen Pass!"
"It's a pity...their calculation is so perfect, the loophole lies in their ignorance of the lord. They didn't expect the lord to go back to the southwest so soon, and they didn't expect the people they sent to be easily killed by the lord. If I didn't speculate wrong, Their plan is to…”
Wu Yidao pondered for a while and said: "Forcing the lord to go back to the southwest, it is best to kill the lord. If you can't kill the lord, you can use the journey back and forth to hold the lord back. If the lord of the army is assassinated by them again If there is no one in charge, the army will be chaotic. At this time, the wolf riders have already come from the Lingmen Gate, and Gao Kaitai is attacking from north to south... What they want is to swallow our Black Banner Army in one bite!"
Chen Xiaoru's thinking at this meeting was also straightened out by Wu Yidao's words, and his face changed: "Then the Mongolian Yuan people's team will join hands with Gao Kaitai's army to march into the northwest, and they will be able to trap General Chen Dingnan's troops to death."
"Good calculation!"
Wu Yidao couldn't help sighing: "The people who set up this layout really have a broad vision! Ordinary people, how can they see such a large area. Once this game is completed, our Black Banner Army will be in danger. This person mobilized Meng Yuan's million-dollar army, Gao Kaitai's troops, and even wanted to mobilize our Black Banner Army to follow his path... This person, this scheming is a bit scary."

Northwest Fangu
"Master, what did you see when you went up?"
The boy squatted there dragging his jaw and asked. At this time, he had already been attracted by the past told by his master. For him, this past didn't have that much emotion, but it was definitely an attractive and good story. At his age, he has little immunity to such wonderful stories.
"dead."
Mr. Jiu said two words in a flat tone.
"dead?"
The young man was stunned: "The two couples in the shop above are dead? Aren't their cultivation levels not bad? How could they be killed so easily? Could it be that Lord Sitian came back after leaving?"
"No."
Mr. Jiu shook his head: "If you look at the cultivation bases of those two alone, they are both rank nine. It is not difficult for Lord Sitian to win against one of them, but the two couples may have been together for a long time and they are too familiar with each other. If the two of them join forces, it will be difficult for Lord Sitian to win."
His eyes flickered: "I found a lot of novel things in this underground palace, but I couldn't understand it. I was fascinated by this place, so I immediately decided to continue to explore while practicing here. But after all, I have to fill my stomach Yes, there is nothing to eat here, and there are only traces of the corpses, which have already turned into dust. I slowly climbed up the well wall, and tried my best to carefully lift the big rock, but found that the two Neither husband nor wife is in the shop."
"I felt quiet when I first came out, but soon the sound of screaming came over..."
Mr. Jiu paused for a moment, and then said with some emotion: "The city is killing people... At first I didn't know what happened. I went to a high place and looked out quietly, and found that heavy cavalry were killing people everywhere in the city. Those people were killed by cavalry. Gathered in the market west of the city, no one guessed that the cavalry gathered them not to make an announcement, but to drive them all out."
He glanced at his disciples: "I just watched there, watching the cavalry plow through the crowd over and over again like iron plows, and where the heavy cavalry passed, the people all turned into stumps. Arm, I don’t know how many people were trampled into meat by war horses, that was the first time I saw the army massacre civilians...even I was frightened.”
He was silent for a while, recalling what happened that day.
That day he deliberately concentrated on searching in the crowd, but he didn't find the figure of the beautiful boy, nor the figure of his two guards, nor the figure of the couple in the shop. At that time, he was relieved for that boy, thinking that such a disaster was actually avoided by him.
"After watching this scene, I naturally wondered why it happened. The army of the Sui Dynasty slaughtered the people of the Sui Dynasty..."
Mr. Jiu glanced at the boy and asked, "What's the easiest way to find out what happened?"
"Ask someone."
The young man answered naturally, Mr. Jiu smiled bitterly, and simply gave up the desire to develop his disciple's potential in this area, because he found that this disciple had no potential in this area at all.
"The easiest way is to find the person who ordered the killing."
Mr. Jiu continued: "It wasn't difficult for me to find this person, but this person's cultivation level is so high, I spent a lot of effort to get close to him quietly. If you want to know the truth, you don't need to ask, you just need to approach him. If you connect what you see and hear, you can guess it naturally. That day, I didn't even need to guess... "
"The man who ordered the massacre of the city was called Li Yuanshan. He was a general of the Sui Dynasty. His ancestor was Li Xiao. He was the most admirable person in the history of the Sui Dynasty. Half of the territory of the Sui Dynasty was conquered by him. And Li Yuanshan The reason why he ordered the massacre of the city was because someone found out that he was going to rebel."
His eyes narrowed slightly, and he clearly recalled everything he saw and heard that day.
Biejiang Mansion in Fangu City
Li Yuanshan stood under the persimmon tree in the yard, and took a look at Li Xiaozong: "You didn't do it beautifully. If you can do it, Wu Peisheng died in an accident. Why should I lead troops to slaughter the city? You can't find a In the place of the dead ghost, I can only blame the Mengyuan people for the massacre of the city. But the emperor is not an idiot, and it is not easy to hide it from him. I also need to get rid of the moths in Chang'an City, and let them join forces to make a game, so that the emperor can believe it. "
Li Xiaozong lowered his head, and said in a trembling voice: "General, I originally wanted to push this matter to Fang Xie. His background is unknown, and there are two masters by his side. Let Wu Peisheng kill Fang Jie. Then I took the opportunity to kill Wu Peisheng, and then put the killing of Wu Peisheng on Fang Jie's head. Although this is not a clever plan, it is still justified... But I didn't expect that it would attract some real masters from the city."
"There is no need to say any more."
Li Yuanshan waved his hand: "Now the city has been slaughtered, and the 800 frontier troops under you have also been killed. What you need to do is to prepare for what to say. The city of Chang'an will definitely send people to investigate. Wu Peisheng was the eunuch who held the pen during the late emperor's time. High weight, even if Yang Yi didn't trust him and deprived him of his errand, but this person's words still carried too much weight. He wanted to stand up and get Yang Yi's reuse, so he came to the northwest to inspect. He was lucky, but he I found out that I was digging iron mines to prepare for war... There are too many people involved in this matter, so there will be many people in the court who will speak for me. You just don't say anything wrong. As for the subordinates you lost, I will Just give you more."
"I got it."
Li Xiaozong lowered his head and said.
"Um."
"Let's leave it at that, Wu's accompanying victory is very important, and it is enough for the people of Fan Gucheng and the frontier army to accompany him, but the Mengyuan people are not responsible for this blame, anyway, they will enter the customs sooner or later! "
