The first thousand and seventy-fifth chapters confrontation
He remained calm and composed as usual when seeing strangers entering. A horse snorted, shook its head, and looked curiously at the three people who came in.
Li Luo was not in a hurry this time. He took out half a candle from somewhere and lit up the room. Li Luo sat on the ground casually, called Tai Shu Gu and Gu Su Xiaoniang to come over, and took out a map from his arms.
The color is still new and the ink is still a little damp, so it was obviously made not long ago.
"Brother Taishu, Miss Gusu, look, this is the formation map of the cavalry camp of the Mengjue and Caohai tribes. Although there are some differences, they are not too far apart." Li Luo spread the marching map under the candlelight.
, pointed at several marked places and said in a deep voice, "This place is the Mengjue camp. Mu Tianlang is inspecting the horse and reporting back. Uncle Tai's body should be here."
Taishu Gu took a deep breath and let out a slow hum. Gusu Xiaoniang raised her eyes and looked at Taishu Gu, understanding Li Luo's intention of sneaking out of the city late at night. She frowned and complained, but she was wearing a black scarf, Li Luo and
Uncle Tai never noticed anything strange about Miss Gusu.
"Mengjue, Yaoting, and Hudansi each have a cavalry camp. Yaoting has the largest number of people, with more than 70,000 people gathered to set up camp in Wanling County, Taoshan Prefecture; Mengjue follows, but there are nearly 60,000 people.
Qiuque Mansion set up camp; Hu Dansi's troops, less than 40,000 men, were entrenched in Wotian Mansion. The three cavalry camps stood at the horns of each other and moved the whole body together. They could advance to attack and retreat to defend, which was difficult to deal with.
"
Taishu Gu's mind was gradually attracted by the map in Li Luo's hand. He had been confused these days and didn't know that the situation outside Jianbei City had reached such a state. Except for Guya, the other three tribes of Caohai all had heavy troops.
After entering the pass and going south, Yimachuan was lost, and the gateway to Yeliang Prefecture had no other cover except Jianbei City. Once Jianbei City was also lost, I am afraid that within a few days, the entire Yeliang Prefecture would succumb to the power of the Caohai Iron Cavalry.
.
"We are going to Qiuque Mansion?"
"Yes, from the north of the city, it will take you three days if you ride a fast horse. However, you have to avoid the spies from the Caohai tribe along the way. It will take at least five days to get there."
"Your Majesty, the various tribes in Caohai are working on their own, can we take advantage of this to make a fuss?" Taishu Gu pondered.
Li Luo and Yan agreed, then changed the topic and said with some sadness: "I'm afraid that the separate camps of the Caohai tribes are intentional. If I guessed correctly, the Caohai coalition forces went south, and the person in charge was Meng Juepai.
Khan. This woman has a deep scheming mind. Although she has not had many interactions with her, she can already see her exhaustive tactics. She will definitely be able to think of what you and I think of."
"Your Majesty, you mean that this might be a trap set by this evil woman, waiting for Da Gan to fall into the trap?"
There is no politeness in Taishu's ancient words, but this is reasonable. He has the hatred of killing his loved ones, so if he speaks calmly, it will be different.
"It's very possible, but this time we just want to recapture Mr. Taishu's body, let alone anything else. They divided their troops into three places, which is somewhat beneficial to us."
Tai Shugu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I understand, but the Mongolian people are numerous and the strength of the army should not be underestimated. It may not be easy to break through the Mongolian camp."
Not only was it not easy, it was almost like a moth flying into a flame. If the Mengjue camp could be broken open so easily, it would not make the Dingbei army so afraid. Taishu's words were euphemistic, and he did not want to sweep away Li Luo's
Although your intentions are good, you still have to save your life.
Li Luo smiled softly and said: "It is very difficult to break through the Mengjue camp. There are 60,000 people. We dare not defeat it unless it is 100,000. Plus the two armies of Yaoting and Hu Dansi, we can defeat them with the least strength."
It will require hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and even then, the variables involved are difficult to predict."
"Does the prince want to attack the east and attack the west, or to divert the tiger away from the mountain?"
"No."
"Is there someone to answer it?" Taishu Gu asked relentlessly, but he also felt that it was a bit whimsical. After finishing speaking, he shook his head involuntarily.
Li Luo smiled and said: "Uncle, apart from you and me, there is no one else to help."
"Ah, this?" Even though Taishu, a master of ancient arts, was so bold, he couldn't help but change his color slightly. Miss Gusu snorted with a slight bitterness in her mouth. According to Li Luo's unbridled temperament, she would definitely do such a mindless thing.
After all, it was only a pain for myself that I managed to drag Li Luo back from the hands of the King of Hell, but this time I was pushed into a pit of fire.
"There is no difference between three people and 30,000 people in retrieving Lord Taishu's body from the Mengjue camp. It may be more reliable with fewer people."
Taishu Gu and Gusu Xiaoniang were silent. Now was not the time to get excited. Not taking back Taishu Xianchou's body was more important. If the three of them were trapped in the Mengjue camp, it would be very difficult to get out.
It's extremely difficult.
After a long time, Taishu Gucai solemnly asked: "Your Majesty, how sure are you of this matter?"
"I have the determination to succeed, but I am not completely sure. How about it, great uncle?"
Taishu Gu let out a breath and looked at Li Luo in a daze. After a while, he smiled casually and said: "This should have been my business, but it was made at the expense of the prince. If the prince can go, of course Taishu Gu can also go. I'm sorry.
I am not very talented and knowledgeable, and I cannot guess what is going on in the prince's mind. This time we break into the Mongolian camp, and my uncle will never let the Mongolian traitors lay a finger on the prince before he dies."
"Haha, Uncle Tai is not optimistic about the Qiuque Mansion and his party. Don't worry, although I am acting extreme, I will not die in vain. But if it can be done this time, I think it will take at least three people. Otherwise
…”
"I'll go." Miss Gusu responded coldly and stopped talking. However, the slander in her heart was naturally unavoidable. She had probably greeted Li Luo many times.
"That's good, let's leave without further ado. We'll talk about the rest when we get to Qiu Que Mansion."
Li Luo extinguished the candle, untied the horse's reins with Taishu Gu, and quietly left the wooden house in the night. The three of them did not go up the official road, but took the mountain path north to the place where the Mengjue camp in Qiuque Mansion was located. Taishu Gu
Looking back at Jianbei City, I can still see the torches on the city gate, and I can vaguely see soldiers walking around on night watch. Once I go there, I may never see Jianbei City again.
The official road is easy to walk, but the road is not smooth. Li Luo and the others can only avoid the official road and take some less traveled paths. They also have to avoid the people from Dagan and Caohai who wander around Yeliang Prefecture from time to time.
Tan Ma. Outside Jianbei City, although the main forces of Dagan and Caohai have not yet fought each other, these teams of Tan Ma have fought many times. Li Luo and the others have seen several traces of battles along the way. The blood stains are still there, but there are no bodies.
, I don’t know whether it was taken away and buried by the accompanying soldiers, or whether it was swallowed by wild dogs and wolves.
