Chapter 460

The big dog took some flying fish robes out for a day and a night, and came back the next day. One of the things that Mou Liangbi announced after he took office was the withdrawal of troops. The army was ready to go back to the stronghold because Fang Xie's worry was delayed for another day. Sun Kaidao believes that if Li Xiaozong wants to kill Mou Liangbi, he can only use the rebel's knife. Jiagou is the most suitable place for ambush. The road is narrow and has a large arc. The front team turns around and the back team can't see it at all.

If the rebels ambush here, once Mou Liangbi ambushes, don't say that Li Xiaozong won't support in time. Even if he will, it will be difficult to rescue.

"We don't need to take the Jiagou. Although the main road is far away, it's flat. Unless Chen Bing intercepts, the rebels will fight in the open. Jiagou will save at least ten days, but it's really hard for us to deal with an ambush. The terrain... The team can't open at all. It's like a line. It can't look at each other from head to tail. Once attacked, it's difficult to support. Jiagou The entrance is a few miles narrow. Although it is a little wider, the terrain like a gourd belly is the most dangerous. Once it is closed by the rebels, it will only be slaughtered. "

Cui Zhongzhen pointed to the map and said, "according to me, I'd rather not take this credit than go through the clip ditch."

Mou Liangbi nodded: "the terrain is really too dangerous."

He looked at Fang Xie and said: "Although the earth mountains on both sides of Jiagou are not high and the slope is not too steep, if the rebels are high, it is enough for us to lose a lot of money just to put down the feather arrows. General Fang, I know your people are well-trained, but this battle can be avoided, so try not to fight. If we insist on our food and grass for more than ten days, we will be rich even if we detour back to the stronghold."

Fang Xie nodded, looked at the big dog and said, "tell Master Mou what you heard."

The big dog answered, cleared his throat and said, "I took some flying fish robes and quietly touched it. Indeed, I found traces of the rebels in Jiagou. However, I can't see how many troops there are. The woods on the hillside are very dense, and my people don't dare to get too close. It's certain that there must be an ambush by the rebels in Jiagou."

Fang Xie pointed to sun Kaidao: "Mr. Sun speculated that if Li Xiaozong wanted to absolutely control the team, he must want to kill Mr. Mou. First, he was ready to let general Cui take a man and horse from the Zhechong camp to attack the rebels. He should have been in contact with Meng Wansui. In this war, general Cui must be killed. However, because Li Xiaozong was defeated, general Cui didn't fight this war, and Meng Wansui must be alert."

"Even if we controlled most of Li Xiaozong's confidants, it didn't get out that Li Xiaozong was killed. Long live Meng, since his weight under Li Yuanshan's command is more important than Yin Baoshan, it means that this person is not an ordinary person. In that case, he must think, is it necessary to ambush Jiagou?"

After Fang explained this sentence, Cui Zhongzhen and Mou Liangbi were stunned, as were other Sui army generals, who turned their eyes to Fang Xie.

"Li Xiaozong first arranged for general Cui to lead the troops to attack the rebel xidaying camp, and took the opportunity to get rid of general Cui. Then he asked Lord Mou to withdraw from the Jiagou with logistics supplies, and then took the opportunity to kill Lord Mou. Let's think Li Xiaozong arranged this for the time being..."

Fang Xie glanced at the crowd: "Well, general Cui should have led the troops to attack the rebel camp the day before yesterday, but general Cui didn't go. Meng Wansui waited for a day. If he didn't wait, he would send someone to contact Li Xiaozong. There was a confidant named Liu Silang around Li Xiaozong. He didn't find him when searching for Li Xiaozong's people. He asked the soldiers on duty in the camp. He left the camp the day before. Liu Silang told the duty man The soldier said that he had been ordered by Li Xiaozong to go out of the camp to explore the enemy's situation. This Liu Silang never came back... "

"If Li Xiaozong sent Liu Silang to contact Meng Wansui, Meng Wansui would send him back to inquire. Liu Silang never showed up, there is only one possibility... The rebels already know about Li Xiaozong's murder. I have many good guards in the Imperial Guard Office. They are best at investigating the case. I asked them to check carefully. Li Xiaozong's own soldiers Sure enough, not all the people were killed. "

"When I fought with Li Xiaozong, maybe someone thought the situation was bad and fled."

Fang Xie concluded, "so when Meng Wansui already knew that Li Xiaozong was dead, why was he still setting up an ambush in Jiagou?"

"Why?"

Cui Zhongzhen murmured again, looking at Fang Xie, waiting for the answer.

"In fact, it's not difficult to guess what's going on here."

Fang Xie smiled.

He stood up and said: "Under the banner of revenge for the Lord, Li Xiaozong has been fighting with the rebels here for more than a month. The rebels have been defeated in successive battles. Although there are not many lost hands, Meng Wansui must also be distressed. Therefore, he will never watch us go back. When Li Xiaozong was there, he colluded with Li Xiaozong. This military revenge is a play for you. But now Li Xiaozong After Zong's death, long live Meng. How can we go calmly? "

"This war is inevitable."

Mou Liangbi frowned and said, "there is Liu Silang in Meng Wansui's army. Even if he knows our team like the back of his hand, it's not much worse. He knows himself and the enemy. Meng Wansui still holds hundreds of thousands of troops in his hand. It's strange if he lets us go back."

All the people in the big tent frowned, and their faces were a little heavy.

……

……

"Jiagou is a canyon of houwu mountain, which is long and narrow from north to south. However, because the mountain is relatively slow, it is called Jiagou by the local people. Houwu mountain and langru mountain run from east to west and from north to south, and are not connected."

Back to his army account, Fang Xie pointed to the map and said, "if you don't go to Jiagou, you have to bypass half of houwu mountain and go for ten more days."

Chen Moshan looked at the map: "If Mr. Shang's information is correct, it seems that Meng Wansui didn't intend to give up his control over Jiagou. Now think about it, the Sui army came safely from Jiagou because of the collusion between Meng Wansui and Li Xiaozong. At the beginning, I didn't understand that there was such a dangerous terrain. Why didn't Meng Wansui use it when the Sui army first came?"

"Li Xiaozong is also from Li Yuanshan, so long live Meng."

Lu Fenghou said, "but now Li Xiaozong is dead, so long live Meng. There's no reason not to do it."

He hesitated and asked, "are we really going to go through the trap?"

"Go"

Fang Xie nodded: "I've discussed with general Cui, Master Mou, and the team marched separately. Let's take the clip ditch for the suspected soldiers, and the team took the road back. Of course, we don't have to go through the clip ditch, just make signs to confuse the rebels."

Zhuo Buyi hesitated: "If... If the rebels know that we are just suspicious soldiers and that a large group of people have taken a detour, then what we have to face is the crazy revenge of the rebels. If I were Meng Wansui, I would never let these 5000 people go after being cheated. It's easy to swallow our 5000 people with the strong strength of hundreds of thousands of rebels."

"It's really too dangerous."

Sun Kaidao looked at the crowd and said, "but if you can trust me, I guarantee there will be no problem if we go to Jiagou."

"Why?"

Lu Fenghou asked.

Sun Kaidao tightened his leather jacket and sat down next to the fire. While fiddling with the fire with fire chopsticks, he said, "if there is no accident, we won't be in any danger even if we go to the clip ditch. If you are brave enough, it's no problem to lead the soldiers through the clip ditch singing songs."

"God, God..."

Lu Fenghou gave him a blank look. He didn't have a good impression of sun Kaidao, who was born as a county magistrate, although he was a good official, but he was definitely not a clean official. As soon as he saw sun Kaidao, he remembered that this guy even gave his concubine to Yan Baoshan in order to protect his life. A man like Lu Fenghou, who is direct, would rather die than do such a thing. Although Fang Jie always said to sun Kaidao Yes, sir, but Lu Fenghou never regarded him as an expert.

"You say it's okay?"

Lu Fenghou said, "not to mention that Mr. Shang has heard the news about the rebels. Even if you don't find any rebels in Jiagou, you can't take it lightly. Is it because of your word that everyone will rush in? It's okay. What if something happens? You can afford to bear the weight of 5000 lives?"

The big dog squatted down and giggled. He didn't bother to pay attention to the wrong way between Lu Fenghou and sun Kaidao. His beauty is that over the years, someone finally gave him a serious name. Fang Xie and his men all called him big dog, but Fang Xie's men obviously didn't dare to call him so casually, so they called him Mr. Shang. These three words have made the big dog angry for several months End the addiction.

It's rare for Chen to move mountain to stand on the same front with Lu Fenghou: "we will obey the general's order. It's nothing to go to the clip ditch, but we must be well prepared. We can't just take people and horses into it because someone has no problem. If ten thousand arrows fire at the same time on the hillside, can someone's help save everyone?"

Sun Kaidao smiled, as if he didn't care about the sarcasm of Lu Fenghou and Chen Moshan.

Fang Xie took a look at sun Kaidao and felt a little relaxed when he saw that he was not angry.

"Since Mr. Sun is so determined, I don't think so."

Lu Fenghou looked directly into sun Kaidao's eyes: "Mr. Sun can go first. If Mr. Sun passes through Jiagou unharmed, it's never too late for the army to pass. Mr. Sun knows everything like a God, and I can still trust it, so... How's sun Xian's business?"

Just as Fang Xie was about to speak, sun Kaidao stood up and said, "OK!"

"Just do as general Lu says."

He hugged the other side and said, "if the general can trust the humble position, the humble position is willing to take a thousand horses first. When the humble position passes, the army will move no later."

"A thousand?"

Chen Dongshan sneered: "that's 20% of the troops. Once there's any mistake..."

"Five hundred"

Sun Kaidao looked at him and said, "five hundred people are enough."

Lu Fenghou couldn't help laughing: "five hundred people want to look like tens of thousands of troops. Mr. Sun doesn't know what to do. Can you tell me first?"

"Then you will know."

Sun Kaidao said faintly, "it's just... Is this a gambling appointment?"

"Count!"

Lu Fenghou said loudly, "natural calculation!"

Sun Kaidao followed and said, "OK, what if sun won?"

"I lost my head to you!"

Sun Kaidao shook his head and smiled: "it's no use asking general Lu's head. If you really answer me, the army will pass through Jiagou safely. In the future, please ask general Lu to respect sun. Since we are all under the general, we should be more harmonious, otherwise, the general will be embarrassed."

Lu Fenghou said, "if you really answer your words, Lu will really be angry with you and obey your words in the future!"

"Good!"

Sun Kaidao took a step forward and stretched out his palm: "may I clap my hands and swear?"

"Afraid of you?"

Lu Fenghou stepped forward and clapped hands with sun Kaidao. Sun Kaidao looked at Chen Dongshan: "where's General Chen?"

Chen Dongshan snorted coldly, and also came forward to clap hands with sun Kaidao: "wait for good news from Mr. Sun!"
