"That's right! Why should I attack the Maginot Line?"

Li Pu suddenly understood, but fortunately Jia Xu understood Fan Chou's true and false intentions, otherwise he would have been seeking death by crossing the river hastily.

"My lord, I will take five thousand troops to cross the river from Pubanjin tomorrow. After I leave, you have to attack Tongguan every day. You can just pretend to attack. If Fan Chou withdraws from Tongguan, you can immediately break through and come to support."

"No!" Jushou said, cupping his hands.

"Sir, you are very familiar with this place. I hope that you will do your best to assist me at critical moments."

"This is natural. General, you can rest assured." Jia Xu saluted Li Pu.

After he proposed the method, Li Pu went to implement his plan without even stuttering. This is how much trust he had in him.

Jia Xu simply could not imagine what would happen to him if he was suddenly asked to lead troops to cross a river from one place.

I thought there was a high probability that he would be killed directly, let alone listen to him and take the risk of crossing the river.

Jia Xu was not the kind of person who kept his emotions secret, but now that he heard Li Pu's arrangement, he couldn't help but be a little moved.

Li Pu was so powerful in the world, but now he is actually willing to believe in a new person.

Seeing Li Pu walk out of the tent, Jia Xu couldn't help but want to cross the river with Li Pu, but after thinking about what Li Pu would face, Jia Xu resisted the urge.

Li Pu walked out of the tent and called Lai Wen.

"Lai Wen, Mr. Wen He is the person I admire the most. After I leave, you must remember to serve Mr. Wen He at all times and do not neglect." Li Pu said with a sincere face.

"No! General, I will cross the river with you, even if you die!"

Lai Wen was a little anxious. Ever since he was promoted by Li Pu, he had to fight first in every battle. Following Li Pu's bloody battles to this day, Li Pu was the person he admired most, no one.

"No! You don't understand. Mr. Wen He is the person I admire the most. If I can't come back this time...if I can't come back..."

Li Pu said there was some hesitation here, as if he couldn't say a word.

"General, don't worry. If the general doesn't come back, I will serve Mr. Wenhe like a father!"

Lai Wen had a determined look on his face, which made Li Pu feel distressed for this silly boy.

"If I can't come back this time, please remember to send Mr. Wenhe to accompany me. I want to be a life-and-death friend with Mr. Wenhe, not a life-and-death friend. Do you understand?"

Li Pu pulled Lai Wen over and whispered.

"Oh, got it General!"

Lai Wen suddenly understood and nodded.

The old man Jia Xu was called a poisonous man, and the tricks he offered were very vicious. Although it is not ruled out that he was just trying to save his life, it cannot be denied that the soldiers died because of him.

The key point is that it would be fine if he was an ordinary person, but this old guy's intelligence is not low and he has caused harm to many people.

Therefore, Li Pu felt that if he died, it would be better for Raja Xu to be buried with him.

If this thing gets out, I don't know what tragedy will happen.

Early the next morning, Li Pu secretly crossed the river from Fengjin with 5,000 troops and headed north to Pubanjin.

The fighting was still going on in front of Tongguan, but today's fighting made Fan Chou a little unhappy.

Today, the French soldiers outside the pass just built a row of tall carts outside and stood on them to shoot arrows, but did not launch an attack.

Fan Chou only thought that the past few days of continuous meal knocking had exhausted the morale of Defali, and Defali did not dare to come back again, so he resorted to this war of attrition.

Fan Chou didn't think much about it. He had not been having a good time these past two days. After all, what Li Jue and the two did was too insecure.

If Li Jue and his two men are defeated, they can go to Liangzhou, Hanzhong or Jingzhou.

What about him?

Once danger arises on one of the two battlefields, Fan Chou believes that Li Jue and Guo Si will definitely run away without looking back.

He has worked with Li Jue and Guo Si for many years, and he knows their personalities better than anyone else.

Was it really the sword dance prepared by Li Jue at the back of the hall?

Does sword dancing require armor?

Li Jue had long thought of killing him. If the battle report had not been delivered that day, all three of them might have died.

Fan Chou took advantage of the fact that in the past two days, the offensive to destroy the French army outside the pass was not urgent, and he slowly thought about countermeasures.

Li Pu led five thousand soldiers and saw a big river before they reached Pubanjin.

The river is very wide and the current is slow. There is a camp on the other side of the river, but it doesn't look very big, with about three hundred people in it.

"Hide, cut down trees to make rafts, and cross the river at night."

Li Pu gave an order, and the soldiers dispersed. Not far from Pubanjin was a mountain called Lei Shou Mountain, which was covered with vegetation.

The soldiers of Defali took out their axes to chop down trees. Now Li Pu's weapon, the big ax, has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the Defali army.

However, not everyone can use this kind of big axe, so most soldiers will have a throwing ax on their waist, which can be thrown from a distance and chopped at close range. They can kill people in war and produce in their spare time.

The soldiers cut down wood in the mountains and put it in the water. The wood followed the water to Pubanjin.

The soldiers downstream then fished the wood out of the water and tied it into rafts.

There are large and small rafts. A small raft can carry about four or five soldiers, and a large raft can carry about ten people.

It was autumn at this time, and the sun was gradually setting before it was too late. It was just Xu Shi (seven to nine o'clock). Li Pu ordered the soldiers to start resting and cross the river at Chou Shi.

Although it was very cool during the day in late autumn, it was bitingly cold at night. The soldiers crowded together to keep each other warm.

From time to time, the sound of gurgling water can be heard from the river, which is quiet and peaceful, soothing the soldiers after a tiring day.

This was their last peaceful sleep for a while. From crossing the river tonight to pacifying Chang'an, only bloody battles awaited these soldiers.

Li Pu held the ax with both hands and looked up at the moon in the sky. The autumn moon seemed to be covered with a thin layer of frost, making it look cold and white.

Li Pu heard the sounds of people adjusting their armor behind him.

"General, let's cross the river."

Li Pu looked back at the soldier and nodded.

"Cross the river!"

"The general has orders to cross the river!"

"Cross the river."

The soldiers passed word of mouth, and in a blink of an eye, the order to cross the river was conveyed, and the soldiers carried the raft and threw it into the river.

The raft plunges into the river and then floats on the river due to buoyancy.

In an instant, the river was covered with rafts, and then slowly floated to the other side of the river.

The raft floated steadily to the opposite side, and when it reached the shore, the soldiers silently and tacitly surrounded the camp stationed by the river.

Li Pu waved his hand, and the soldiers rushed into the camp like wolves and tigers. Immediately there were screams and the sound of swords clashing.

But soon, all the sounds disappeared, and the soldiers of the Destroying Legion tied up a man who looked like an officer and dragged him in front of Li Pu.

"Kill everyone, no one alive! Now that we are deep behind enemy lines, we must not be hindered, do you understand?"
