The figure suddenly attacked, Qin Xiao didn't care who the person was, stepped aside and punched him.
Before punching, he had already observed the opponent's position and speed, and made a good prediction. The punch came out fast and hard, with a "bang" sound, and hit the person's waist firmly, and the person "
"Ouch" he yelled, covering his waist and bending down. When Qin Xiao could see the man's face clearly by the light of the fire, he saw that the face was full of pain and said in a voiceless voice: "Zhao...Zhao
Brother Yi!"
The figure hit by his punch turned out to be Zhao Yi, who was under Yuwen Chengchao's command.
Zhao Yi covered his waist with one hand, raised his other hand and pointed at Qin Xiao, saying angrily: "You brat, you...are you so...so cruel?"
Qin Xiao hurriedly stepped forward to support him and said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, Brother Zhao Yi, I didn't know it was you. You suddenly attacked me from behind. I thought someone was going to assassinate you... Assassination commander, please take action."
You have to be ruthless."
"Who dares...Who dares to commit an assassination in Baihu Camp?" Zhao Yi couldn't recover for a while. Qin Xiao helped him sit down. He said angrily: "You have been in the camp for more than a month. I
Just... I just want to see if you have made any progress."
Qin Xiao thought to himself that even with your little kung fu, you are still a piece of shit. I didn’t use all my strength. If I used my inner strength, my waist would be broken by you.
"If you are not as good as others, don't be embarrassed." The tent door was opened, and Fat Fish walked out, calmly: "Brother Wang didn't use all his strength. If you had to use the strength to lift the tiger-suppressing stone, you would only have to do it now.
I'm afraid I'm already lying on the ground unconscious." Then he turned to Qin Xiao, cupped his hands with a smile and said, "Brother Wang, I haven't seen you for a while, how are you doing?"
Qin Xiao did not expect that these two guys would come to Baihu Camp in the middle of the night. It was strange to say that when he suddenly saw these two guys, he felt a sense of intimacy in his heart. He held his hands and returned the greeting: "Fat... Big Brother Fat Fish
!" Thinking of something, he immediately asked: "How is the eldest son doing?"
"You will know it when you have seen it in person." Fat Fish opened the tent and said inside: "Eldest Young Master, Brother Wang is here."
Qin Xiao was startled, but quickly stepped forward. Fat Fish said to Zhao Yi: "Just sit outside and watch." Then he said to Qin Xiao who was walking over: "The eldest son has been waiting for you, come in quickly!"
Qin Xiao entered the tent, and Pang Yu followed suit and lowered the tent door.
Inside the tent, there were only two people standing in the corner. One was Yuan Shangyu, and the other was the eldest son Yuwen Chengchao. The two faced a high-footed board with a map unfolded on it. Before entering,
The two men were obviously talking about the map.
"Brother Wang." Yuwen Chengchao turned around and saw Qin Xiao coming in. He smiled and his voice was very friendly.
Qin Xiao took a few steps forward, cupped his hands and said, "I've met the eldest son, I've met the commander-in-chief!"
Yuwen Cheng looked up and down and smiled at Yuan Shangyu: "Commander Yuan, it seems that Brother Wang has done quite well in the White Tiger Camp. Thanks to you for taking care of him."
"My eldest son, humble generals dare not take credit." Yuan Shangyu said with a smile: "Actually, humble generals really didn't help much. The most capable people always come to the top in the White Tiger Camp. Wang Xiao moved the Tiger Suppressing Stone and tamed the Black Overlord. These two are the only ones.
This incident is enough to win the White Tiger Camp and convince the soldiers."
Yuwen Chengchao smiled and said: "Brother Wang, I never thought you could have such skill. We were blind before."
He was smiling, and Qin Xiao didn't know if there was any other meaning in his words, so he could only say: "I don't dare!"
"Sit down and talk!" Yu Wenchengchao sat down behind the large desk in the tent and said to Yuan Shangyu and Qin Xiao: "You all sit down."
Yuan Shangyu cupped his hands and sat down. Qin Xiao thought for a moment and also sat at the table.
"Brother Wang, do you still remember Ding Zixiu of A Breeze of Wind?" Yuwen Chengchao looked at Qin Xiao and asked.
"Ding Zixiu?" Qin Xiao thought for a moment and immediately remembered, "The eldest son is talking about the group of thieves who robbed the racecourse?"
He remembered clearly that when he was at Lanyue Pavilion, the young master revealed to Yuwen Chengchao that a group of thieves robbed Yuwen's horse farm at the foot of the Qilian Mountains and took away dozens of good horses.
What the young master said was none other than the group of Ding Zixiu and Ding Fengfeng.
He still remembered that Yu Wen Chengchao once killed two of Ding Zixiu's brothers in the battle to exterminate a gust of wind, so Ding Zixiu and Yu Wen Chengchao had a deep hatred.
But he didn't understand why Yu Wen Chengchao mentioned a burst of wind Ding Zixiu at this moment.
"Yes, Brother Wang has a good memory." Yuwen Chengchao said with a stern expression: "These days, both the Marquis Mansion and the Protectorate Mansion have sent people to trace Ding Zixiu's traces. Just a few days ago, his hiding place was determined.
.”
Qin Xiao said "Oh" and said: "The eldest son came to Baihu Camp tonight to prepare to dispatch troops to exterminate Ding Zixiu?"
"It is imperative to eliminate Ding Zixiu." Yu Wencheng said: "But we can't do it too hastily." He looked at Yuan Shangyu and said: "Commander Yuan is good at strategy and deployment, so I came here tonight to ask for advice from Commander Yuan and also to come here.
Look at Brother Wang."
"Thank you for your concern, eldest son." Qin Xiao said with a smile, thinking that he wanted to discuss with Yuan Shangyu whether it was true to suppress the bandits, but he might not come to see him.
However, he came here tonight quietly and did not let too many people know about it. He quietly asked someone to find him, which was considered a favor to him.
Yuan Shangyu stood up and walked to the map again, one hand behind his back and the other hand holding his beard, thoughtfully.
"The terrain of Jigong Gorge is dangerous, easy to defend but difficult to attack." Yuwen Chengchao also stood up and walked over, saying solemnly: "The terrain there is complex, with crisscrossing ditches, springs in the mountains, and caves in the slopes. It is not suitable for life originally, but once it really happens
They have occupied that place, and it is really difficult to defeat them."
Yuan Shangyu nodded and said: "I didn't expect that Ding Zixiu would choose to settle here. Jigong Gorge is narrow in front and thick in the back. The entire terrain resembles a big rooster. The back mountain is steep and steep. It is almost impossible to climb the cliff and enter their lair.
As far as I know, to enter the back mountain, not only must we capture the front mountain first, but the most important thing is the deep valley between the front mountain and the back mountain. There is only an extremely narrow stone road in the middle, which can only allow one horse to pass."
"One man can guard the gate, but ten thousand men cannot open it." Yuwen Chengchao said with a stern expression: "Even if that stone path exists, it will be very difficult to break into their back mountain lair, and we have received news that that stone path no longer exists.
"
Yuan Shangyu was startled and said in surprise: "It doesn't exist?"
"After Ding Zixiu settled in Jigong Gorge, he used manpower to destroy the stone road." Yuwen Chengchao said slowly: "He had people build a suspension bridge. To enter the back mountain, you need to lower the suspension bridge from there, so that you can pass through.
.”
Yuan Shangyu smiled bitterly and said: "Master, if this is the case, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky to break into Ding Zixiu's lair." Pointing to a point on the map, he said: "The front mountain of Jigong Gorge is short and the back mountain is high. That Ding Zixiu
Having learned the lesson from the past few years, I will definitely be more cautious now. If I were him, I would definitely build a high tower on the back mountain. From a high position, the surrounding situation can be seen clearly. Whenever there are soldiers and horses approaching, they will attack them as soon as possible.
It can be found that as long as the suspension bridge is not lowered, even if the front mountain is captured, the back mountain can only be seen but not touched."
"Ding Zixiu knows his advantage and will definitely store a large amount of food in the back mountain." Yuwen Cheng said: "As long as there is enough food, he can survive even if he is besieged by officers and soldiers. He knows very well that the officers and soldiers will always
In order to destroy him, we cannot send a large number of soldiers and horses to besiege Jigong Gorge and consume him."
Qin Xiao also stood up at this time, approached, looked at the map, but said nothing.
He also knew that it was not convenient for him to say much in this situation.
"Eldest Young Master, does Ding Zixiu know that we have discovered his traces?" Yuan Shangyu asked.
Yu Wen Chengchao shook his head and said: "We were very careful and snooped in secret, and did not alert Ding Zixiu. Although we are not completely sure, Ding Zixiu probably doesn't know that we have discovered him yet."
Yuan Shangyu said: "To exterminate this group of bandits, we cannot delay. Once we take action, we must defeat the enemy with one strike. If we miss, it will be very difficult to find another opportunity." After thinking for a while, he said: "To capture Jigong Gorge, we must
First, we need to seize the front mountain quietly without letting the bandits in the back mountain discover it. Second, after taking the front mountain, our people will ambush in the front mountain, try to trick the opponent into lowering the suspension bridge, and then send elite men to cross.
Behind the bridge, quickly control the thieves on the opposite side to prevent them from pulling up or even destroying the suspension bridge. After controlling the opponent, the men ambushing in the front mountain quickly rush into the back mountain and kill all the thieves."
"Commander Yuan's idea is similar to mine." Yu Wen Cheng nodded and said, "But there must be no mistakes. If there is any negligence, everything will be in vain."
"Master, do you know how many bandits are stationed in the front mountain?" Qin Xiao couldn't help but ask: "If you don't even know how many people are there in the front mountain and how they are distributed, it is impossible to quietly occupy the front mountain.
Everything is out of the question.”
Yuan Shangyu did not blame Qin Xiao for speaking, but nodded and said: "Wang Xiao is right, we must know how many people they have, and how many people are deployed in the front mountain and the back mountain. Even if we attack the back mountain,
We must understand the layout and terrain of the back mountain. Although we all know about Jigong Gorge, we don’t know the terrain and path of the back mountain of Jigong Gorge. It is very steep there. If they guard the dangerous place, we are not familiar with the terrain.
Knowing nothing, even if we finally eliminate them, we will definitely have to pay a huge price." His expression became more and more serious: "So before we take action, it is best to have a detailed topographic map of Jigong Gorge, and also to have a clear view of them.
Only by knowing the situation well and knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. If you fail to understand this information, send troops easily, and have the courage to speak out, you will only be defeated in the end."
"It is almost impossible to figure out the map of Jigong Gorge." Fat Fish remained silent, and finally said: "Ding Zixiu occupies Jigong Gorge and is heavily guarded. It is impossible for outsiders to enter, let alone get inside.
information."
Yuan Shangyu said sternly: "If this is the case, eldest son, please forgive me for being bold. Baihu Camp must not act rashly."
Yuwen Chengchao frowned and said, "Commander Yuan is saying that he knew there was a thief but turned a blind eye?"
"I don't dare, a humble general." Yuan Shangyu said solemnly: "It's just that the White Tiger Camp is the hard work of the old marquis. Every soldier here is the treasure of the Yuwen family and must not be used to fight unprepared battles, or that
, you can’t use White Tiger Camp to gamble.”
"I don't understand you!"
"Baihu Camp wants to suppress thieves, and it's enough if we don't take action. Once we take action, we must win and not lose." Yuan Shangyu said with a stern expression: "Winning is a matter of course. Failure will bring huge disasters to the Yuwen family and even Yuwen County.
