"Chief, at three o'clock in the morning, about ten thousand cavalry came out of the camp, held high the banner of the governor, and marched southward in a mighty manner. There were also ten thousand soldiers divided into two, one east and one west, all carrying tents and food.
It seems that they are going to be stationed on the border wall. In addition, another 10,000 people have moved into the city and are stationed in the four cities..."
Such a big fanfare does not hide the fact that Xiazhou has tens of thousands of powerful soldiers. Is it possible that Gao Meng can no longer wait for Gao Zhao's order and wants to raise troops on the spot?
But according to Lang Jun, Gao Baoer is more than calm, but not brave enough. He should not have such courage.
Furthermore, the six towns, Shuozhou, and the Heng, Si, You, Ding and other prefectures that are full of monks are still the same as before, and it doesn’t look like they are united in the uprising?
That could only be because Gao Meng wanted to block the news because the oil lake was burned and tens of thousands of old corpses were blown up.
Li Feng closed his eyes and calculated for a while: "Xiazhou has 50,000 infantry and cavalry. Originally, 10,000 state troops were stationed in various counties, and there are still 40,000 left outside Tongwan City. Now 30,000 have gone their separate ways, and the Xiazhou camp only has 40,000 soldiers.
The remaining 10,000 are old and weak, and at this time of emptiness, this is really a good opportunity for us."
After a short pause, he walked to the window again and looked at the sky.
The sky was clear and blue, as blue as a mirror, but the wind still blew like a ghost, making the window paper rattle.
This is the case in the Northland. There is not much else in the four seasons of the year except that there is more wind. The so-called dark moon kills people at night, and the wind is high and sets the sky on fire. Since God is doing his best, if we don't do it now, how long will we wait?
He thought so in his heart, but Li Feng didn't know how to word it in order to boost his morale. But he racked his brains and hesitated for a long time, but couldn't hold back a sentence. In the end, he was like constipation, and he said: "It's done... That's it.
Tonight..."
"No!"
There were only a dozen leaders in the room, all of whom were Li's retainers. Although they responded in low voices, their eyes looked strange.
If you have a decision, just give the order, but Li Feng went the extra mile and wanted to imitate Lang Jun?
It’s just a matter of learning, but I’ve learned a lot of things.
Who doesn’t know that you, Li Feng, are uneducated, would rather be beaten than study, and are illiterate?
How dare you call a camp with ten thousand soldiers an "empty hour"?
What's more, it's not like Li Feng said "all are old and weak". Even if they are not soldiers in a hundred battles, they are definitely young and strong.
Although they were laughing secretly, all the leaders had the same look on their faces.
Just because we have been planning for a whole year, everything is ready and waiting for today, there is no chance of failure.
After a few more explanations, more than a dozen leaders filed out, each performing their duties.
This is a horse farm located in Yanlv County, Huazheng County, Xiazhou. Not long after Li Chengzhi arrived in Beijing, in order to transport grain, grass, cloth, porcelain and other supplies needed by the Western Navy, he ordered Li Song to send Li Feng and Huangfu Rang to establish the establishment with Woye.
Hushui Trading Company.
Xiazhou is a horse farm built under the guise of the richest man in the private sector, Liu Bao. On the surface, it is engaged in horse trading, but secretly, it is responsible for delivering and inquiring about information.
The racecourse has a radius of about ten miles. From the owner Li Xiaoxian to the grooms who feed the horses, they are all from the old Baijia tribe, and there are more than a thousand of them.
To the north is a thousand miles of desert, and ten miles to the south is the Xiazhou camp. About thirty miles further to the west, there is the Zhouchengtongwancheng.
Even for a large state like Pingcheng, the old capital, and it needs to help six towns resist Rouran, it only has 10,000 permanent troops, not to mention that Xiazhou is only a central state.
The 50,000-strong army stationed in the city was too conspicuous, but it could not be too far away from the city. Therefore, Gao Meng gave Gao Zhao the idea, and when recruiting troops to Xiazhou, the camp happened to be built south of the racecourse.
Whether for training or fighting, horses are naturally indispensable. Gao Meng did not expel them directly, but asked the horse farm to move north. He secretly sent his confidants to make an agreement with Li Xiaoxian on how many horses were needed each year. So
But last year, Yuan Yi racked his brains and tried every possible means to recruit six towns, almost scraping the ground three feet away. He used the army rations for the war with Rouran, and Gao Zhao and Yuan Chen used clever tricks to replace 50% of them.
.
Some of them are in Shuozhou, where Gao Zhi is the governor, and some are in Xiazhou.
Li Feng couldn't judge the exact amount, but there should be millions of dan. This amount of food would be enough for an army of 50,000 to eat for a year.
If all these millions of grains of stone were burned cleanly, Gao Meng would have to turn against him...
The pre-war deductions have been carried out countless times, and everyone from Li Feng to the team leader knows it well. So as soon as Li Feng gave the order, all units started to move in an orderly manner.
Taking advantage of the fact that it was still early and the camp gate was still open, Li Feng ordered Li Xiao to deliver several carts of beef to Dongying.
When he saw the general sitting in the village tower, Li Xiaoxian was happy.
Sure enough, God bless me, this guy is actually on duty?
Having been here for two years, Li Xiaoxian had become proficient in hanging out with the middle-level officers in Dongying. He knew a thing or two about each person's character, and he also knew that this brigade commander was the best one.
I happened to get drunk...
The horse farm usually showed great respect, so when he saw those carts of meat, the brigade commander surnamed Fang suddenly beamed: "Two days ago, I even joked to Liu Jun that the horse farm must respect the festival. But today, at the end of the first month, there was no movement at all.
, just think that Mr. Li has forgotten me and waited?"
"I will have to rely on you generals in the future, how dare you forget?"
Li Xiaoxian laughed playfully, "I just went to the fertile fields a few days ago, and I have to return today. When I returned to the racecourse, I realized that my subordinates did not know the importance and neglected everyone. To express his apology, Li also brought a car with him
Fine wine."
With that said, Li Xiao first lifted the oilcloth, took a porcelain jar from the car, and opened the mud seal in front of the brigade commander.
After just a few breaths, the aroma of wine filled the village building.
The brigade commander sniffed violently, with a look of intoxication on his face: "Master Li, are you trying to harm me? If you don't take a few sips, I'm afraid I won't be able to sit or sleep well tonight. But if it happens to be Sima or the military leader patrolling the camp,
How could Su escape a whipping?"
"In this case, Li will be offended!"
Li Xiaoxian made a move to put the wine jar back into the car, but suddenly his hand was empty, but Brigadier Fang snatched it away.
If he was really an alcoholic, he didn't even wipe the mud off the mouth of the jar. He raised the porcelain jar and took two sips first.
Then he handed the wine jar to the soldier like a thief, wiped the wine stains from the corners of his mouth and said with emotion: "It's so delicious, rare in the world, it's worth even being whipped..."
"Hahahaha... You call this delicious food, how can Sima and the military leader spare such delicacies and wine to come to patrol the camp?"
Li Xiao first laughed loudly and said twice more, "It's cold in the night, it's just a good time to warm up our brothers!"
Although Brigadier Fang is greedy for drinks, he is not a stingy person. He does not hide his personal interests. Instead, he asked his soldiers to move into the village building together, and told him to wait until nightfall to see again. Even if he drinks, he can only drink a few sips from me. p>
He hugged his fist and thanked him boldly, and did not ask the soldiers to check whether the car was full of meat and wine. He just waved the big meat and let it go.
Arriving at the camp, he saw numerous military tents stretching endlessly. Li Xiaoxian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Was it smoother than expected?
As long as these carriages are allowed to enter the camp, tonight's plan will be half done.
No wonder Li Feng often said: Everyone must love someone, and it is nothing more than giving in to others...
Of course, these words were not said by Li Feng, they must have come from Lang Jun. But he regarded Lang Jun as a god, so he remembered it all by heart.
After entering the middle tent, Li Xiaoxian found out why Fang Brigade Commander only promoted Sima and not the Guard Commander. It turned out that he was following Gao Meng southward.
All officers above the military commander level are fierce confidants. Li Xiaoxian had put in enough effort, so he was quite familiar with them.
After being polite, Li Xiaoxian left with an excuse. He also found the military leader who was on duty at night and took him to the rear camp.
The rear camp, also known as the cook camp, is responsible for the food and drink of the entire army. The millions of stones of food naturally exist in the rear camp.
Seeing that there were seven carts full of food, but only two carts were given to the rear camp, the military leader smiled understandingly.
To raise horses, of course, fodder is indispensable. Therefore, apart from the riding camp, the rear camp where Li Xiaoxian went most often was the rear camp.
Although they have only recently formed an army, they do not dare to be too blatant, but the world is declining, and how can there be a fly that does not bite flesh?
So they all turn a blind eye.
Just like that, Li Xiaoxian drove the two carriages into the rear camp in a grand manner.
It was almost night and it was the end of the month. Without lights, it would be almost impossible to see anything.
Li Xiaoxian was chatting and laughing with the military leader in front, but several figures emerged from the car like ghosts. They were either hiding in the haystacks on the side of the road, or hiding behind the kitchen.
The rear camp was even more pitiful, with almost 70% of its troops depleted. There was only one brigade commander left in the camp, leading more than 200 leading soldiers.
However, there are only 10,000 soldiers left in the camp, and more than 200 people are more than enough to feed and drink. Furthermore, who would have thought that such a heavily guarded camp could allow spies to sneak in?
No one expected that Director Li, who usually laughed at everyone, spent money generously, and was closely related to the military camp, turned out to be the spy leader?
The brigade marshal was very enthusiastic as he usually received no less benefits. Furthermore, he was supervised by the supreme official and was even more courageous. He actually dragged Li Xiaoxian and insisted on being drunk with him till the end.
The military leader who came with Li Xiaoxian had a bad intuition, but he was soft-spoken and short-handed when taking advantage of others. Moreover, he heard Li Xiaoxian decline that he had important matters tomorrow and would have to go back to the racecourse no matter how late, so he could only drink a few drinks.
I didn’t say anything anymore.
As long as outsiders don't stay in the camp, there will be no worries.
At this point, even Li Xiaoxian found it unbelievable.
According to Li Feng's plan, as long as he can enter the camp, he will be able to launch his plan. As long as there is an uproar in the camp, he can take advantage of the chaos to invade the rear camp.
But who would have thought that he could go straight to the heart?
Maybe he can accomplish this without even needing Li Feng...
Just pretending to have something to do, Li Xiaoxian just drank lightly. The brigade commander who stayed behind in the rear camp, the military commander who led him, and several commanders were extremely happy.
First, there are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are called kings. In the self-camp, the chief officer followed Gao Meng southward, and a group of deputy generals entered the city and stationed themselves on the side walls. Military discipline was more than doubled.
Secondly, both the meat and the wine are delicious. In the past, even if there was no shortage of meat, it would only be cooked with a handful of coarse salt containing nitrate. Occasionally, the wine would be sour and tasteless. Therefore, you can tell the whole story by just taking a look at one spot. Five or six of the ten military camps in Youda are like this. It’s a very enjoyable time to drink.
If the superior officer is like this, how can the soldiers patrolling the camp perform their duties?
A Shijia soldier just arrived at the back camp and smelled the aroma of wine and meat coming from the tent. He heard shouts, laughter and curses. The commander immediately cursed. Then he ordered his subordinates in a low voice to lie down on the roadside.
Be lazy under the firewood pile.
A few feet away, there is a haystack, and the servants of the Li family hiding in it are in their throats: These dog thieves, don't want to sleep here all night?
I was in a panic, wondering what I should do if the main summons was launched. Suddenly I heard a soldier call out in a low voice: "Is this the military leader?"
It turns out that the military leader knew that he was responsible for his duties and was planning to come out and show his face during the trip, and then go back and drink again.
Ten soldiers rushed up the road like monkeys, pretending to be on patrol. Li Xiaoxian, who was escorting the army leader out, excused himself to urinate urgently, lifted up his robe and unbuttoned his belt, and moved farther away from the military tent.
I heard him blowing a few times, as if he was imitating the chirping of birds, and the team leader who was waiting for him didn't care and accompanied him to let out water.
As he was unfastening his belt, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if something was flying by. The team leader suddenly raised his head and saw a spark rising into the sky, straight into the night sky.
What is it, a bolide?
No...
It's so close, probably only a dozen feet high, how could it be a meteor?
Furthermore, the sound was so real, just like the whistle of a herding man.
Just as he was wondering, he heard another soft popping sound, and the team leader's face was suddenly illuminated, and his eyes were colorful.
So beautiful... This was the last thought of the team leader as he was dying.
……
Li Feng holds a bead in his hand, which emits a faint green light. There is also a small and exquisite copper hourglass in his hand, which is rustling softly.
Li Xiao first drove into the camp. It has been nearly two hours, but there is no silence at all?
What the hell is he up to?
Even if his whereabouts are discovered by the camp soldiers, there will always be some shouts and shouts. What's more, the soldiers who follow him into the camp are all soldiers who have fought in hundreds of battles. Even if they all die in battle, they cannot all die in an instant.
There should always be one or two to send out signals?
The more Li Feng waited, the more anxious he became, and his heart felt like it was on fire...
"Chief, look!"
A sudden low cry came from his side. Li Feng was startled and raised his head sharply.
