Chapter 105

In the twinkling of an eye, it has been five days since the army crossed Danshui. From the third day, it began to drizzle. The rain was not strong, but it didn't stop. If it wasn't for the screw horned horse and the gale beast, they would not be able to march on the wet and muddy land. But even so, they still slowed down the March until last night, Lu Caicai found the tiger roaring army.

The fresh and messy footprints, footprints and ruts on the muddy ground all show that there was a large army here not long ago. According to Lu Que's calculation, they are less than 50 miles away from the lions.

After staring at the muddy road for a while, Lu que ordered to rest in place, and the cavalry dismounted one after another to save the strength of these most reliable partners. Take off your helmet and pick up the rain from the sky.

After five days of running, everyone lost interest in speaking. At this time, they were doing their own business quietly, or taking out food and salt from the saddle bag to feed the spiral wildebeest and the gale; Or take out dry food and meat from your arms, put it into your mouth, tear off a piece and chew it hard.

At this time can only hear the sound of rain, and rain splashed on the armor leaves dripping sound, in the dark red light armor above, is a tired white face, white face is a pair of slightly tired but still sharp eyes. At this time, the eyes of these elite soldiers looking at Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng were full of trust and expectation.

During the five day and night's rapid march, Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng not only galloped with the soldiers and ate the hard to swallow food together, but also observed the terrain, determined the march route and combed the battle plan. The first night and the second night's vigil were all done by themselves, so that the soldiers could have a rest until the third night's wolves arrived, Lu Qicai left the duty of night keeping to wolves. Compared with human beings, wolves have much better sense of smell and vision at night.

Sometimes soldiers are very simple. Lu Que's and Gu Qingcheng's methods are quickly recognized by these veterans. They all know that with a general who knows and loves soldiers, they are much more likely to win military achievements and survive.

"Take a bite, general." He Tao took out a piece of dried beef wrapped in oil paper and handed it to Lu Qian. Lu Qian nodded, took a bite, and then pushed it back. "You can eat some too. Although we only have five days' rations, we don't have to worry about the problem of eating. But we can't make a fire. Tomorrow we will start to aggrieve our brothers to eat some raw meat and be a savage."

"Well, what's the point? As long as the general has a way to hold down the lion army and finally win the battle, let alone raw meat, we will recognize the grass roots and bark." Feng Yang, the school captain of the swift wind riding, said carelessly.

"That is, raw meat is good. Raw meat is more nourishing." Cheng Yuan, another captain of fast wind Qingqi, is also smiling. He is big and strong, which is a bit more powerful than duanmuye, giving people a kind of rough feeling.

"Lu que, what's your plan? We are not far away from the wild lion Legion. We will meet the patrol of the wild lion Legion further forward." After Gu Qingcheng had fed the horned horse with beans, he also came to ask.

"We are too small to rely on our military strength. Now we are deep into the enemy's territory, and we can't engage in intrigues and risks. We have to use our strength." Lu que squatted down and looked at the tracks on the ground.

"Use power?"

Gu Qingcheng, he Tao, Feng Yang and Cheng Yuan look at each other, but they are all puzzled. In their opinion, this time they should use Qingqi's speed advantage to harass the lion army. To slow down their March until zhennanguan army came.

"I know what you're thinking." Lu que didn't get up to look at the panting horned horse and the fierce wind beast beside him and said, "I originally intended to use the speed of cavalry to drag down the lion army, but now it's drizzling and the road is slippery. Although we are rushing on the road these two days, the speed is not half as fast as before to avoid the mount sliding. At this time, the speed advantage and impact of cavalry are gone, We can only think of another way. "

"General, we have wolves to lead the way. Now it's cloudy and rainy. The torches of the lion army will not burn long at night. We can attack at night." Feng Yang said.

"No way." Lu que shook his head. "This method is too dangerous. Qiu lie is a veteran general on the battlefield. Once he is ready in advance, we are in danger of losing the whole army."

"What do you mean by using power?" Gu Qingcheng frowned for a moment and asked.

"Shi Pian, written by my father, is divided into national situation, military situation, formation situation, sky situation, fire situation, water situation and grain situation. What we borrowed from the rear mat army that attacked Qiu Ao a few days ago is the convenience of Tianshi. Now we can only continue to use Tianshi to hold each other Lu que picked up a swollen grain of rice, which was soaked by rain. He put it in front of his eyes and watched it carefully, as if he had found something new.

"In terms of national strength, we can't use it now when we go deep into the enemy's territory and are hundreds of miles away. Although our military strength and formation are not small, they are insignificant compared with 200000 lions. No matter how delicate the formation is, we can't resist the attack of the army."

"Does the general want to cut off grain?" He Tao looked at the deep ruts on the ground and the grain of rice he was playing with in Lu Que's hands.

"No Lu que shook his head, looked back at He Tao's puzzled expression, and said, "according to the ruts on the ground, the wild lion army has enough grain to cross the Huangyan River, and there will be a lot of surplus. Moreover, looking at the footprints on the ground, the Star Army and grain are together. Since we can't attack at night, naturally we can't cut grain."

"Now there's a continuous drizzle, the fire is not good, and the sky is half strong." Gu Qingcheng's eyes suddenly brightened. She suddenly thought of a sand table battle between Wei government and Lu que. At that time, Lu que dug the blue river dike and flooded her gold. "Do you want to use the water power to dig the Huangyan river when the crazy lion army is stationed in the low-lying place, Drown the army with river water? "

"It's to dig up the Huangyan River, but it's not to submerge the lion army." Lu que threw the rice on the ground, stood up, clapped his hands and said.

"Why?"

"Because Qiu lie is a famous general of Tianxing, and he is very cautious. This is also the northern part of Tianxing. He is more familiar with the terrain here than we are. Now it's drizzling and the river is soaring. How can he not be on guard? The camping places we've seen in the past five days are relatively high places. The water of Huangyan River can't submerge his army."

At this point, Lu que looked to the South and said, "there are many river ports on the North Bank of Huangyan River, but they are far away. There are a large number of wild lions. If you want to cross the river quickly, you must use a military port, and the nearest one is Yanjin ferry.

Lu said that he drew a picture on the muddy ground: "if I want to go to yanjindu, I must pass through the ancient river plain, which is the old road of Huangyan river. The terrain is quite low. I want to dig up the water of Huangyan River in advance, and make the ancient river plain become a river country. There are more than 200000 of them. I'd like to see how they can get out of this artificial swamp." He said that he drew a dotted line from Huangyan River to guheyuan.

"Why didn't they wait for their army to reach the ancient river to dig up the Huangyan river? Isn't that the way to submerge the lion army? " Gu Qingcheng looks at the sketch on the ground, some don't understand of ask a way.

"That's right, but Qiu lie will definitely send a detective to inspect us. If we are too close, we will be found." At this point, Lu Kuo thought, "if I remember correctly, it's about 70 Li from Yanjin to Huangyan river. Only by digging Huangyan river here can we lead the water to the ancient river plain. The distance is too far for us to grasp the whereabouts of the wild lions."

"We have Dongya, and we can let it carry the message."

"Isn't Dongya back in Beijing?"

On the second day after Lu que passed Danshui, he asked Dongya to send a letter back to the capital. After all, Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng had brought so many soldiers for the first time. They still had a lot of pressure in their hearts. They also wanted to hear Lu Chun's ideas. It's just that the letter was written by Lu que, and Gu Qingcheng didn't know what it was about.

"According to the calculation of time, Dongya should be back tonight at the latest." Gu Qingcheng took a look at the northern sky, and suddenly saw a white shadow flying towards them“ Dongya is back. "

When Dongya falls on Gu Qingcheng '.

Walking under a tree to shelter from the rain, Lu que opened the bamboo tube and pulled out the paper inside. He found two pieces of paper in it. The first note was written in graceful and mellow style, which was quite popular. Lu que knew that it was written by his mother Yu Chuqing and said, "my son leads the army alone and goes deep into the army alone. We should make self-determination according to the situation. The army is dangerous. Be careful, be careful."

Seeing this, Lu que laughed and continued to look down at the second note. The second note was written by his father Lu Chun. It said, "yanjindu, the ancient river plain, the old road of Yanhe River, Huangjiang river water, goodness."

Lu que saw the character Shan, which was a little bigger than other characters. He had a big smile on his face and a little more confidence in his heart.

"Herald, camp here tonight and turn to the southwest tomorrow." Lu said, pointing to the woodland nearby.

"No The three captains saluted and turned to make arrangements for the encampment.

Looking at the rain all over the sky, Lu que murmured, "Qiu Ao, according to the calculation of foot distance, you should be able to go back to the crazy lion camp tonight."

"Qiu Ao's footwork is not slow. He should be here tonight." Gu Qingcheng went to Lu Que and whispered that this morning, the white wolf king found Qiu Ao, who was released by them. But Lu que pretended to be far away from him. However, thinking that Lu que had specially asked someone to spread out the temporary flag with the character Lu, Qiu Ao must have found a big cavalry behind him, and it was Lu que who led the troops.

"Sister Qingcheng, it's hard for you." Lu que looked at Gu Qingcheng's wet armor, and a twinkle of heartache flashed in his eyes. Although they were brought two sets of general's light armor when the swift wind Qingqi arrived, after five days of attacking, their armor had become a burden, especially the wet inner armor. It was very cold and wet.

"What do you mean? You came with me this time. Although I came out of Dingguo government, I'm not a weak girl. It's nothing to me." Gu Qingcheng patted Lu Que's arm armor with a smile. "Besides, my accomplishments are much higher than you. You are all right. How can I work hard?"

"So it is." Lu que nodded, which made Gu Qingcheng look pale.

"Lu que, are you really putting Qiu Ao back to use yourself as bait to slow down the journey of the lion army?"

"I had this idea before, but now, it doesn't matter." Lu que looked at the South and said, "you say that Qiu Ao sent back the news that the army had been destroyed after 20000 mats. What would Qiu lie think and do?"

"According to the current situation of Tianxing, Qiu lie will try to eliminate the influence of this matter." Gu Qingcheng thought for a moment and said, "but Qiu lie is not a fool. Even if he knows that you and I are leading the army, he may not send people to deal with us. On the contrary, I think he will speed up his March and return to Yanqi County as soon as possible. Now, the Tianxing Dynasty is in chaos, and Qiu lie has 200000 troops in his hands, which is his biggest capital. Even if someone criticizes him with Qiu Ao's affairs and invites the king's decree to dethrone him, he can still resist the decree, and others can't help him. "

"Sister Qingcheng is right, but in that case, as long as the three princes do not succeed to the throne, when the new king of Tianxing ascends the throne, or when the Qiu family is destroyed, neither the new king nor the Duke of Wucheng will let him go."

"What will Qiu lie do?" Gu Qingcheng frowned and asked.

"I asked a few captured Tianxing soldiers before. They were the rear soldiers of the mad lion army, and Qiu Ao was the former commander of the mad lion army. That's why Qiu Ao didn't make arrangements on the North Bank of Danshui river that night and took the lead to board the ship. Why do you think a former commander in chief would command a post Sergeant

"Does this have something to do with the fight in Tianxing chaotang?" Gu Qingcheng asked curiously. When Lu que was talking to the prisoners, he was cleaning up the blood on the white wolf king, so she didn't hear it. She thought Lu que was asking about the news of the crazy lion army, but she didn't want to ask about it.

"The rear army of the lion army, from the main general to the battalion captains, were all from the five princes of heaven. I guess Qiu lie didn't want to take them back to his country at all. But that's good. Qiu Ao goes back alone, and soon the news of the destruction of the army will spread all over the lion army. Although Qiu lie is the commander of the lion army, the composition of the lion army is complex. When the generals at the bottom hear this, they will certainly have their own thoughts. "

"Do you mean that even if Qiu lie doesn't want to, he will have to make a gesture and divide his troops to encircle us?"

"Yes, and the candidate should still be Qiu Ao." Lu nodded.

"Alas, the heavenly Star Kingdom has been more powerful than us for a long time. I didn't expect that the seizing of the royal family by the sons of heaven caused a great chaos in the government, and even the border army could not be spared." Gu Qingcheng said with emotion.

"When the sons of Confucius take the throne, the officials will naturally choose the Lord and choose the way. Who can stand up alone? But this is a good thing for us Lu said with a smile.

"That's right. When he's sick, he'll die and destroy Tianxing, and the war will begin." Gu Qingcheng also laughed, turned his head and looked at the southern sky through the rain curtain, his eyes shining.

It's getting dark. Because it's too close to the lion army, plus the rain, Lu que didn't make a fire. He ate something and sat in the tent with his knees crossed. Although he didn't show it in front of outsiders, he was really tired these days. In addition, he was worried every day when he led the army for the first time. He was afraid that his brother's life would be ruined if he made a mistake. Only now that he found the trace of the lion Army and got a letter from his parents did he feel relieved.

Lu que was originally a man who had little sleep. After entering the five grades of Xueqiao, he found that compared with sleep, the state of deep meditation was more conducive to the recovery of energy and physical strength. If it was not for the mysterious abnormality of Yuantai Datong Sutra, he might not have been able to persist in the five-day March.

However, after these days of ups and downs, Lu que found that his control of the body had returned to the peak period, even before. At this time, the hidden danger left by the surge of power caused by successive breakthroughs in the magic heart array had completely disappeared. Now he felt that he could penetrate the six Fu organs and blood orifices at any time, but now he was too close to the crazy lion Legion, It's not a good time to break through.

"General." Just after Lu que combed the Qi and blood of his whole body and wanted to take a nap, Feng Yang's voice outside the camp passed. Lu que knew that Feng Yang was on the vigil in the first half of the night.

"Captain Feng, come in."

When Feng Yang heard that he opened the curtain and went into the tent, he saw Lu que sitting on the ground with his knees crossed and didn't sleep. He couldn't help admiring Lu Que's hard work.

"What can I do for you?" Lu que asked.

"There are several black wolves returning to the camp. They seem to have found something, but they really don't understand their meaning. Please go and have a look." Feng Yang knows that the white wolf king belongs to Gu Qingcheng. He should go to Gu Qingcheng for this matter, but Gu Qingcheng is a woman after all. In the dead of night, he was inconvenient in the past, so he came to Lu que. He doesn't know if Lu que can understand the meaning of the wolves, but it's said that Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng have already been married. Lu que is better than him.

"Xiaowei Feng, if you have a heart, I'll go to find sister Qingcheng." Lu que looks at Feng Yang and smiles. He naturally understands what Feng Yang means.

Moreover, although Lu que can understand the meaning of most spirit beasts, he is weaker than Gu Qingcheng and Bai Langwang, who have signed spirit beast contracts. At this time, when you are in the enemy's territory, you should be careful in everything, otherwise, any omission may lead to very serious consequences.

Lu que stood up and walked out of the camp. It rained three days and three nights in a row, but he didn't mean to stop.

"Lu que, Bai Xia said, there is a change in the wild lion army." Just out of the camp, Lu que saw Gu Qingcheng leading the white wolf king to him in a hurry.
