"Immediately send an order to the scout, and at all costs, we must find out the enemy's grain and grass road!" Li Daozong quickly gave instructions without any hesitation. As long as the opponent's grain and grass road is cut off, the enemy can be besieged without a single soldier and wait for the pass. When COFCO is used up, you can attack.
"No!" Everyone hurriedly went down to convey the military order.
Everyone eagerly waited for the information to be explored. The report every three hours became six hours. After that, they ordered that in addition to keeping an eye on the enemy's movement and observing the usual report, other scouts who were investigating the delivery of grain and grass into the city were not allowed until there was no result. Back, in a nutshell, only results are reported.
After another ten days, after being sent out by scouts, the number of scouts who strayed into other dangerous areas was no less than a hundred people. Finally, they found out the enemy’s official road for transporting grain and grass: a road to the north of Jiluo Mountain, from Jiluo Mountain to the north. There is a spacious road in Longcheng; in addition, there is a small road between the upper reaches of the Anhou River and the Xiongnu River.
The most secret is this trail. Because it is located between two rivers, the slippery road is full of danger, and some places are swampy. If it weren't for the traces of some carriages, it would be difficult to find them.
In addition, Dragon City is not only the granary of Jiluo Mountain Pass, but also the location of reinforcements. According to reports from the scouts, there are 100,000 Xue Yantuo tribes in Dragon City. When the scout passed the news back, Li Kuan finally understood why Da Shi was full of confidence a few days ago.
If Tang Jun rushed out and attacked Jiluoshan, Da Shi could send a message back to Longcheng and order him to lead his cavalry to attack Zhuoxieshan Tang Jun's base camp. Under the front and back attack, Tang Jun would face unprecedented danger. At the same time, Ji Luoshan's elite came out together, restraining the main force of the Datang Army, under the enemy, let alone attacking Jiluoshan, it would be difficult to hold the position here.
"The connection between the two places must be cut off!"
Li Daozong realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately issued an order: "Deputy Commander Li, you personally led an army of 10,000 to grab Xue Yantuo’s grain and grass overnight between the two rivers; General Zuo Xiaowei led a 10,000 army around Beishan after losing his mind. Resist Longcheng’s troops to send reinforcements; Zuo Xiaowei General Asnadul led an army of 30,000 from the side to support the attack on the Jiluoshan Pass; In addition, the order sent Youwei General Xue Wanche to immediately lead his army to support, and this time he will attack. Go down the hill!"
"No!" Everyone bowed their orders, Li Daozong looked at Li Kuan and lost his thoughts, and said straightly: "No matter what price you pay, you will swear to resist the reinforcements of the Dragon City Army; as for the general of Youwei, Xue Wanche leads the army. Go to support!"
Immediately afterwards, Li Daozong immediately conveyed the command, and the soldiers received the order to leave the camp overnight to meet with Xue Wanche in Juyan City, and ordered them to send troops to reinforce Li Kuan and lose their thoughts. When the soldiers passed the order, Li Kuan and Zhishili both ordered their soldiers and horses to leave the camp overnight.
Due to the unfamiliar terrain of the two places, scouts had to lead the way. At the same time, Li Daozong also rectified his troops. The attack on Ji Luoshan came out all the time, and he must not postpone any longer. Li Daozong ordered the three armies to send troops to attack Jiluoshan tomorrow, and the soldiers knew that the war was about to start.
After Li Kuan and Zhishili started from the camp, they rushed to each other. The two marched quickly for fifty miles overnight, and they were already exhausted. The two chose to rest on the spot, only half the distance from the destination.
Although it was not dawn, the starry night sky made Li Kuan panicked, as if something was going to happen. Li Kuan didn't have time to think about it. After half an hour of rest, he continued to march. At thirty miles away, Li Kuan ordered the army to rest again.
The night march is definitely a big test for the army. After many rests, the soldiers remained awake even though they were exhausted. If he didn't rest, it would be a danger to him if the enemy attacked suddenly when he arrived here.
"This is the official road for transporting grain and grass?"
Li Kuan suspiciously looked at the endless lake in front of him, recalling the information reported by the scout before, and Li Kuan thought for a long time that something was wrong, but when he looked down at the scout, he saw him leave quickly. Suddenly, Li Kuan shouted: "Retreat!"
Qin Shandao, Fei Lian, Liao Fan and others had serious faces. They followed Li Kuan from birth to death many times, and they rarely saw a panic on Li Kuan's face. When they were about to retreat, a triumphant and gloomy voice came: "I said you would die in my hands. How long will General Li not see you?"
Li Kuan and the others looked at the black and overwhelming Xue Yantuo army with furrowed brows. The head of the group was Da Tuo Shi, and the scout had quickly left and walked in the direction of the enemy. Li Kuan immediately drew a bow and shot an arrow. The scout was shot directly, and the remaining three scouts were too late to respond that they were all killed by Qin Shandao, Fei Lian, and Liao Fan.
At the moment when Dadu Shi led Xue Yantuo's army appeared, Li Kuan was inexplicably flustered before being verified. He really didn't expect that his soldiers would collude with Xue Yantuo's national enemy army, collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and even bringing him to death.
Li Kuan looked back at the lake. If he guessed right, it should be the Xiongnu River. Then he looked at the surrounding area, and Li Kuan knew that the situation was critical. He was not familiar with the surrounding terrain at all. If he guessed right, there would be marshes besides the lake.
"Is this a trap you set?" Li Kuan asked coldly.
Nodded generously and said: "Yes, this is a trap specifically for you!"
"Why?" Li Kuan asked again.
"Because someone wants you to die!" Dadu Shih admitted frankly, "It is just what I want. Although they want to kill you by my hand, I am also very happy! If you don't set a trap for you to enter, I'm afraid to kill you. There really is no chance! Now that you are a turtle in the urn, you can't escape with your wings!"
"Since I'm going to die today, I don't know if magnanimity will make me understand it?" Li Kuan smiled lightly, but he was still very nervous, and more angry. He really didn't expect someone to collude with the enemy to sell him. He really wanted Know who made such a vicious hand in the end.
"Do you want to know who is behind the scenes?" Li Kuan was puzzled in Dadu's commentary, "I can only tell you that there are people in the capital who don't want to see you go back alive!"
"When did you get in touch then?" Li Kuan asked again.
Generously set back: "Someone took the initiative to contact me the night I arrived at Jiluoshan!"
Li Kuan suddenly realized that he thought it was Dragon City reinforcements that he was generously dependent on. In fact, this might be a lie. Dragon City has reinforcements and there is absolutely no army of 100,000. However, they had no time to analyze the news reported by the scouts, and the Xue Yantuo army in the Jiluo Mountain Pass was very calm, which gave them the illusion that they were still not afraid of the Tang army.
Suddenly, Li Kuan burst into laughter with sadness in his heart. He never dreamed that someone in the Tang Dynasty would collude with Xue Yantuo, and Chen Cang secretly set a trap to let him fall into the trap, saying that the purpose of this trap is more than just Aiming at him, it was aimed at the main force of the entire Tang army.
If what is expected is not bad, the Dragon City reinforcements have quietly entered Jiluo Mountain, and the main force led by Li Daozong's attack will definitely be blocked as never before. Li Kuan found it ridiculous to think about it. While the other party used the other side to set up a trap, the other side also used the other side to set a trap against Tang Jun. (End of this chapter)
