Li Luo praised: "General Chi is really thoughtful. If the Qiang people come back for reinforcements, General Di will definitely be able to hold him back. Mr. Shen is now in General Di's army. With Mr. Shen's intelligence, he can persuade General Di not to Difficult. Moreover, General Di is a general. Although his strategy may not be as good as that of Qiang Xingzhi, and he is not considered to be the best in our Dagan army, General Di has one advantage that is difficult for other generals in our Dagan army to match. General Di is broad-minded and cares little about fame and wealth. In this regard, even my father is not as good as General Di. Although this trip is dangerous, if it succeeds, if it succeeds and the West Palace can be conquered, General Di will definitely not create any trouble. As for the Qiang movement? He will definitely raise troops to invade, and you will know the reason later."
Chi Li thought for a moment and did not ask further questions. He looked at Li Luo and said: "General, although this plan is brilliant, I will also think about it in my spare time. If any link goes wrong, the success will be ruined and I will secretly pinch it." Breaking into a cold sweat."
Li Luo smiled and said, "General Chi also thinks that I am acting recklessly."
Chi Li's face turned red and he hurriedly saluted and replied: "I will not dare."
Li Luo didn't look annoyed, and sighed: "Now the situation in our country is in turmoil, and powerful people from all sides are ready to make moves. The villains in the court are trying to suppress dissidents, and most of the wise people are idle. Meng Jue is watching with eager eyes. If we can't do it early, After pacifying Xirong, when the Mengjue came to their senses and raised troops to invade the territory, it was really difficult for me to deal with it in Dagan. The food and wages could not support the war in the northwest. The people of Dagan would be the ones who suffered at that time, so I had no choice but to make dangerous moves. We must strive to pacify Xifu in one fell swoop."
Chi Li was stunned and said with a look of shame: "The general is too stupid to think of this."
Li Luo replied calmly: "General Chi is in Zhuocheng, so he doesn't know about the intrigues in that city. You will know after you stay there for a long time."
Chi Li saw that Li Luo was slightly tired and asked Li Luo to go back to the house to rest. Li Luo nodded and walked towards the house.
Chi Li suddenly remembered something and said: "General, this march. Except for General Liu and General Hucha, only the last general, the princess and General Kuang know the whole story. Even General Ding doesn't know the details. General Hucha only informed him when the troops were sent out, and the other generals in the army did not know the general's plan yet."
Li Luo snorted. He replied "Hello" and went into the house to rest. He had been chasing Xirong for more than a month, so he might feel a little more at ease tonight.
In the early morning of the next day, Li Luo woke up early. By the time Chi Li arrived, Li Luo had already inspected Luocao Mountain.
I went into the mountain at night and did not have time to conduct a detailed inspection. It was not until dawn the next day that I realized that Luocao Mountain was very dangerous, which is rare even in Xifu.
Luocao Mountain is close to Shiwan Mountain, but it is not connected to the mountains in the southwest. It is surrounded by cliffs on three sides, and there is no tree to grow. Except for the blue kite raptor, there is nothing else. There is a narrow stone gap in the northeast that breaks through the mountain. Stretching into the territory of Dizhou. The mountains here are lower than those in other places, and there are still places to stay. Li Luo looked and could vaguely distinguish the marks of swords and axes in many places.
The narrowest part of the stone gap can only accommodate two war horses walking together. From time to time, you can see bottomless pits beside the stone gap, reflecting the darkness. If you look at it for a long time, it seems that you can be sucked in. The stone gap goes from bottom to top. Wandering to the mountainside, this is the place where Li Luo and others rested at night. It is dozens of acres in size. There are several ruined houses with broken walls, and there is a natural stone cave against the mountain, which is quite deep.
Chi Li walked to Li Luo and saluted, "General, you get up early."
Seeing Li Luo looking at the mountain attentively, he continued: "If it weren't for the secret letter from the general, the general would not have known that Dizhou has such a dangerous place, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If there is enough food and grass, it can be regarded as a thousand troops.
If we come to attack, the general will have the confidence to defend for ten days and a half."
"It is a dangerous place. It is also a place of death. Thousands of warriors who were entrenched on this mountain were surrounded and killed on Luocao Mountain by the Xirong army. No one survived."
Chi Li nodded and said: "Yes, there is a lack of water in the mountains, let alone farming. Once the supply of food and grass is cut off, and there are no reinforcements from outside, these people will be in danger. Even if they break out, this stone road will be very beneficial when guarding the mountain, but the march will be very difficult."
Unfortunately, the horses cannot be ridden, and it is difficult to form a military formation at the mountain pass. They can only be captured and killed one by one by the besieging tribesmen."
Li Luo looked at the stone road and was stunned for a while, and suddenly asked: "General Chi, after entering the mountain, did you see any bones or remains?"
Chi Li was stunned and replied: "General, I saw them all along the roads in the mountains, and there were many in the stone houses. The generals cleaned them, buried some, and put the rest in the stone cave behind.
bingo."
Li Luo snorted and said calmly: "Send some people to collect all the bones they see, find a place with leeward direction and face the sun, and bury them, leaving a mark."
Chi Li asked doubtfully: "General, what is this?"
"They are all our Dagan soldiers."
Chi Li was extremely intelligent, and Li Luo understood it as soon as he finished speaking. No wonder the Stonehenge that Li Luo used to resist the enemy yesterday looked familiar, as if it was the three-point formation in the Da Gan Army passed down from the Wu Zhi General Hua Wu Xin. Chi
After hearing this, his expression darkened, he resigned and sent people to collect the remaining bones in the mountain.
Li Luo stood quietly, feeling that he had been mentally and physically exhausted in recent days. In a trance, he seemed to see the Dagan soldiers who were chatting and laughing in Luocao Mountain decades ago, indifferent to life and death. They abandoned their fame, kept their names anonymous, and became bandits in Luocao.
With a sense of loyalty, they fought in Dizhou, which was occupied by Xirong.
I can’t even count how many stories the strong winds of Xifu have blown away, and how many loyal and loyal warriors have been buried in the yellow sand of Xifu, all of which have become a passing smoke in the end.
The soldiers of Luocao Mountain will probably die without believing that on the day they fell into captivity, Dagan’s envoys had left Zhuocheng and headed to Shuoxi to pray for safety. However, they themselves were quietly forgotten somewhere.
If Li Luo hadn't searched through the internal volumes of the Privy Council's Xifu, he wouldn't have known that there were so many heroes written on a thin silk scroll of less than half a page.
Li Luo breathed a sigh of relief, remembering that it had been more than two months since the New Year Pass, when a group of six people entered Xirong. He never expected to be in such a situation, life and death, just like in a dream.
Li Luo shook his head violently and put away the distracting thoughts in his mind. He turned back to the stone house and looked at the injured soldiers. The Mu Tianlang soldiers who had been treated last night had all woken up, and there was some blood on their faces.
There were no serious injuries. However, although five of the seriously injured people were saved their lives, their muscles and bones were injured and their bodies were disabled. After recovering from their injuries, they could no longer join the army.
Seeing Li Luo come in, everyone called out to the general with firm and solemn expressions on their faces.
Li Luo smiled, nodded, and told the soldiers to get more rest.
Although Mu Tianlang can be called Da Gan's elite division, they have not fought for many years. When they arrived at Shahu, the battles on the battlefield were just two battles at Xingfeng Valley and Qianxi.
Compared with the Xirong army that has been fighting all the year round, it is slightly inferior. Even compared with Di Jie's army, it is probably a step behind. Thinking about this, Li Luo became a little more worried. (To be continued.)
