"Chief, I don't know the details." Feng San kowtowed again and said, "The villain is just a spy under him.
I heard that someone from Jiangbei sent a message to Lou Shuai...er, Lou thief, You Sanjiang volunteered to take the job.
Well, the villain also knows that many bosses are jealous, saying that You won a few games just because of his ability in the water, and he became a general in just a few days, so they are not convinced by him.
He took the initiative to ask for a fight, probably because he wanted to show off his skills on land to everyone.
We have already figured out the guerrilla camp you mentioned, and it was the river they crossed at the stall that they neglected. Because the young man had been to this area, he was assigned to the first wave.
After seeing us passing by, the group began to cross the river. The original intention of the group was not to alert anyone, but to come quietly to explore the way.
I didn't expect you to come so quickly. The captain thought that since there were only a few officers and soldiers, and the civilians had no weapons, they would be scattered in a rush, so why not take this first step! Who knows... you all know what will happen next."
Ma Jiu and Li Dan looked at each other, and then asked: "Since it is a sneak attack, then there are no cannons in the team, and none of them are wearing armor, right?"
"You can't walk on mountain roads without carrying all those burdens. The whole army came here lightly. But..." He suddenly looked at Ma Jiu and stopped talking. Finally, after everyone urged him, he managed to say:
"Everyone only brought enough food for seven days. This is only the third day. If we don't end this battle as soon as possible, it will be over!
Of course, if I kill the Cong family after entering the mountain, I guess his family will have some food reserves that can help supplement their income."
Ma Jiu and Li Dan looked at each other again. The situation Feng San confessed was completely consistent with the information they obtained from the gangster's corpse and from the prisoners, which explained some of the questions they had been wondering about before.
"So, that guy asked you to come and persuade us to abandon the army rations and disperse. How can we calm things down? After talking for a long time, the dry rations brought by you are not enough!"
Tan Zhongxiao, who had been silent until now, also heard it and immediately looked towards Li Dan and several other battalions.
"Then why are we anxious?" Zhou Qin said with a smile:
"I'm not going anywhere, just wasting it here. Anyway, I have 20,000 shi of military rations. If you have the ability, ask him...what's the point? Traveling to Sanjiang? Let him get it himself!"
"Zhou Yingzheng is right, our Zuoying won't go anywhere, we will rely entirely on defense and Ma Baihu's command!" Xiao Wanhe also said with a cup of his hand.
Seeing everyone like this, Feng San sighed: "It seems that this battle must be fought!"
"You don't have to fight." Tan Zhongxiao winked and said, "If you ask the man named You to surrender and surrender, and the whole camp abandons its military, won't everything be peaceful?" Everyone laughed.
"Hey, what are you doing as an envoy with so many worries? Wouldn't it be over if you go back and resume your life?" Gu Da stretched out his scabbard and poked him.
"If only it were that simple." Feng San's expression was uglier than crying, and he kowtowed and said, "Since the leaders are unwilling to bow to that You Sanjiang, I want you to beg for mercy!"
"Say it!" Li Dan looked at him with a half-smile.
"I can't persuade you leaders, but You Sanjiang treats us like nothing. It will be very bad if you go back. Please keep me here, don't let me go back and die!" After saying that, he kowtowed on the ground.
Li Dan signaled Mavericks to pull him up. Feng San's forehead was already blue and purple, and he was crying. "What's your name? Do you have a larger size?" Li Dan asked.
"The villain Feng San, there is a name in the world called 'Sanqianzi', but there is no such thing as a big one."
"Three Qianzi, what do you say?"
"My master is a Taoist priest named Longxuzi.
One day I pestered him to give the villain a number. He casually took out three copper coins and said that if you can borrow these three coins to go to the other side of the stream and your shoes are not wet, I will give you a number.
The villain passed by, and the master laughed and called me Sanqianzi."
Everyone looked at each other in shock after hearing this. "Three copper coins crossed the stream? Are you blowing it?" Zhou Qin stared.
"How about, leaders, let's give it a try?" Li Dan was eager to get started and was quite interested.
In my previous life, I read martial arts novels about things like "floating on water" and "flying on grass". Is it possible that this is really the case? He called Mavericks to give him a few instructions, and then took the lead out of the Heavenly King's Palace.
Mavericks called Han Si who was on duty, and asked his guards and governors to light ten torches and surround them outside the palace.
When Feng San saw Li Dan nodding, he jumped up from the ground, ran a few steps, twisted and jumped up, put his feet on the tree trunk in front of the hall, turned around and grabbed the eaves, and in the blink of an eye he was on the roof.
Everyone was stunned. Mrs. Shen Kung returned to the ground, took two steps to kneel down in front of Li Dan and resumed her life.
Others did not see it, but Li Dan saw that when he came down, he put his hands on the eaves to cushion the force of landing.
The whole process is silent and fast, and it is indeed extremely difficult to achieve without years of practice and application.
Li Dan knew that this man looked thin, but in fact the muscles in his arms, waist, back, and legs were all well developed and used. He looked back at Shen Wu who was being brought up, and the guy smiled bitterly:
"The villain has no choice but to make a living these days, going in and out of the middle and lower homes. It's okay, but he can't live up to the skills of this hero."
"How does your brother compare with him?" Maverick asked softly.
"Brother is much stronger than the villain. I can probably go up to this palace, but I can't do it in one go." Shen Wu replied.
Back in the hall, Li Dan looked with satisfaction at Feng San, who was kneeling on the ground again. He thought that this guy sees things accurately and understands the importance. He is thoughtful and can pretend to be pitiful.
I actually like his Qing Kung, but I have to be careful when using it.
"Feng San, I've seen what you're capable of. I'm here to talk, eat and drink. Please tell me, what can you do for us?" he said.
Feng San was overjoyed and kowtowed and replied: "I don't want to be comfortable or at ease as a villain. I will do whatever Master Defense tells me to do!"
"Good attitude, but what if I ask you to go back there?"
"Ah?" Feng San was stunned.
At night, You Sanjiang was sleeping soundly with a maid in his arms, when he suddenly heard that Feng San was back. He was so annoyed that he had to get up, but he couldn't let go of the white and tender body in his arms.
"You won't come back early or you won't come back late. It's mother's choice to choose the time when I am most proud. Is that intentional on your part?" He sat in the main hall and yawned and cursed.
"Hey, this is the villain's fault. I didn't think carefully. Damn it, damn it!" Feng San reached out and slapped his face twice:
"But General, I came back with a deep kick and a shallow kick just to report the situation as soon as possible. I hope that for the sake of my loyalty, you won't argue with me!"
"Huh?" You Sanjiang rubbed his face vigorously and began to wake up: "The group agreed, but they are afraid, so they still want to come down?"
"No, they are determined to guard Lingyan Temple. They say that the army is afraid of you but they are not. They also say..."
You Sanjiang was furious and slammed the table: "If that's the case, what are you talking about, a bunch of damn farmers!"
"General, they are not simple farmers."
"Um?"
"There is a young kid inside called Li Sanlang, who is the defense envoy of the Geyang regiment.
He and a Japanese military commander surnamed Ma led four or five hundred regiments and dozens of officers and soldiers. The villain also saw a dozen muskets."
"Hiss!" You Sanjiang gasped: "You can see it for real, is it really a blunderbuss?"
"It's absolutely true! The guards around Li Sanlang are all carrying it on their backs."
You Sanjiang thought for a while: "This is a trouble, but not a big one.
Fortunately, I sent you to take a look. If you rush into battle and suddenly they bring out guns, morale will be greatly affected." He was silent for a moment, then asked: "Did you see anything useful?"
"The villain paid attention to the terrain around Lingyan Temple along the way."
"Oh, what do you say?"
"Walking from the official road, there are red cliffs along the way, which are very steep straight up and down. If you are lying in ambush, you can see clearly below. Even if you look up when walking on the road, it will be difficult to spot the people above.
General, it's not wise for us to go through the pipeline, because everyone can clearly see it. But when I entered the temple, I saw clearly that this area is not the whole mountain, but there are roads in the mountains.
I heard someone ask why there were only a few people guarding the temple. One of their team leaders said that the path over there was extremely winding and difficult to walk, and the monks in the temple had never seen anyone walk in from that way...
So I thought, since they guard the mountain gate as tightly as iron barrels, why don’t we send a special force to take a small path around to the back of the temple?"
"You mean to find a small road?"
"Young man is not talented, but he has some skills in climbing over mountains and ridges. He is willing to risk his life to find a way for the general!"
These words reminded You Sanjiang, and he immediately ordered his soldiers to invite Captain Zhu. He himself asked Feng San carefully about the situation on the mountain wall on the official road.
When I heard that the red cliff of Red Cliff was tens of feet high, I couldn't help but frown. I thought that if that was the case, even if there were no ambushes on it, what would be the use of seven or eight people climbing up there?
What's more, he can't rely on the fact that his opponent doesn't ambush him.
Soon Colonel Zhu came in with a dazed look on his face. He seemed to be sleeping comfortably. He came in and asked angrily:
"Is there a call from the army this late at night? Is there anything we can't wait until tomorrow morning to discuss?" He was sent by Lou Shuai to assist You Sanjiang, so he spoke without any scruples.
Even though You Sanjiang felt unhappy, he still said politely:
"Colonel Zhu, Feng San is back. Listen to what he saw and heard." After saying this, he motioned Feng San to tell Captain Zhu again.
"Is the land difficult to fight? If not, let's go back and say we can't find any chance.
Anyway, Lou Shuai is just giving it a try, he has no hope of taking down Fengqiguan with just one of our partial troops!" Lieutenant Zhu spread his hands and said.
"I told you this afternoon to ask the locals about the trail, what can you do?" You Sanjiang asked suppressing his dissatisfaction.
"Hey, I haven't reported this matter to the general yet." Lieutenant Zhu suddenly remembered:
"I asked someone, but there is a road. However, the shape of the mountain there is different from this one. The further north you go, the more criss-crossed the valleys become, with red cliffs all over the place. To the south, the top of the slope is rounded, but the valley is longer.
Although there is a path leading to the back of the mountain, if a stranger breaks in rashly, not only will he not be able to find the path, but he will also easily get lost.
Even if we find it, it will take a whole day to walk from here, and it will be dark when we get there. General, I think it is too risky, so I am not in a hurry to report it, don't be surprised!"
"There really is a way!" You Sanjiang jumped up and looked at Feng San: "Lao San, it seems you are going to make a contribution this time?"
Feng San handed over his hand: "I am grateful for the general's forgiveness, and I am willing to work hard to find this path for the general!"
"Okay!" You Sanjiang clapped his hands and said, "I'll give you two days to take five brothers to find them. If you can find them, report back immediately." He added:
"Zhu Lieutenant, you and five hundred brothers will guard my escape here. If Feng San finds a small path, you can follow him into the mountain behind Lingyan Temple.
Let's attack from both sides, defeat them, kill everyone, and avenge our murdered brothers!"
"Okay! Then, general, will you... tomorrow?" Captain Zhu asked.
"Me, I'll take people to pretend to attack the mountain gate of Lingyan Temple, and take a look at how the so-called Danxia Red Cliff looks like Cui Wei.
If possible, I would also like to meet the young man in green to see how capable he is?"
