The moon is like a hook, and the stars are dotted. The cold moonlight falls on the Yushan forest, making the forest look like a dream.
To the southeast of Yushan Mountain, thousands of people are hidden deep in the dense forest.
These soldiers were the three thousand elites led by Li Zhen. Each soldier carried a few days of dry food and hid in the mountains and forests without making a fire to cook, which was enough to keep his whereabouts secret. Li Zhen sat on a stone with his legs crossed.
, holding a piece of hay in his mouth. Although he had a lazy and casual expression on his face, there was a trace of anxiety in his eyes.
Li Zhen led his troops northward, bringing with him more than a hundred special forces from the Jian Dao Battalion, who were responsible for beheadings, gathering information, infiltration and other matters. When Wu Qigong led his troops near Yushan, Li Zhen sent out two Jian Dao soldiers.
The soldiers of the battalion went to inquire about the news. One of them was an ordinary soldier of the Jiandao Battalion, and the other was Zhu Wu.
When Lu Shaochuan's navy was founded, Zhu Wu stayed to assist Lu Shaochuan in training soldiers.
Yang Banhou resigned as the company commander of Jiandao Camp, but a suitable candidate was not selected for a long time. Li Zhen finally transferred Zhu Wu back to Jiandao Camp as the company commander of Jiandao Camp.
It has been an afternoon since Zhu Wu took his soldiers to inquire about the news. It is already late at night, but he has not come back yet. Li Zhen is also a little worried. After all, Li Zhen came quietly with three thousand soldiers, and the news has not been leaked.
He has a certain advantage. If the news leaks out, Li Zhen's actions will not be so convenient.
"Pooh!"
Li Zhen spit out the hay in his mouth and shouted: "Lu Shaochuan!"
"arrive!"
When Lu Shaochuan heard Li Zhen shouting, a smile appeared on his face. He trotted to Li Zhen's side, raised his hand to salute, and asked: "Commander, you have summoned me. Do you have any instructions?"
Li Zhen said solemnly: "Zhu Wu has not come back with his soldiers to inquire about the news. You can send people to explore the situation. Also, put all the soldiers on alert and move to another place if any situation arises."
"clear!"
Lu Shaochuan agreed and turned around to give instructions.
At this moment, Zhu Wu, who had gone out to inquire about the news, came back with another soldier. Seeing this, Lu Shaochuan stopped, reached out and patted Zhu Wu on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Old Zhu, you
The boy hasn't come back for a long time, and I'm worried to death."
Zhu Wu said nonchalantly: "Even if you die, I won't die."
Lu Shaochuan didn't take it seriously and came to Li Zhen's side with Zhu Wu.
Li Zhen stood up in confusion and asked, "What's going on? I didn't come back until now."
Zhu Wu saluted and said apologetically: "Report to the commander, I have inquired about the battle situation between Wu Qigong and Li Xiucheng this afternoon. The reason why I have postponed my return until now is because I took the soldiers to inquire about Wu Qigong's army resting in the mountains and forests.
Hiding place, I also went to see Li Xiucheng’s condition.”
"Good job, boy!"
When Li Zhen heard this, he was also happy in his heart.
Zhu Wu chuckled and scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed after being praised by Li Zhen.
Li Zhen said: "Tell me, what are the details?"
Zhu Wu immediately told the story of the afternoon battle, and then said: "Wu Qigong fled into Yushan with his soldiers. The hiding place is in the northwest corner of Yushan, which is opposite to the southeast direction where we are.
Wu Qigong is in the light and our army is in the dark. It is impossible for us to be discovered. Li Xiucheng's army camped at the foot of the mountain and blocked all intersections in Yushan to prevent Wu Qigong from breaking through."
After hearing this, Li Zhen was silent for a long time and said: "I have figured out the basic situation of Yushan, but I still have to take a closer look at the positions of Wu Qigong and Li Xiucheng. Zhu Wu, please accompany me."
When Smith heard this, he immediately stopped him and said, "Commander, this is inappropriate. I will go in your place."
Lu Shaochuan also echoed: "Commander, you are the commander-in-chief of the army, and it is not appropriate to put yourself in danger. Commander Smith is right. Smith and I will go."
Li Zhen shook his head and said: "You two should stay in the mountains and forests and be on strict alert. Zhu Wu and I will go take a look at the situation. I will not send troops tonight, nor will I take action secretly. I am just getting a feel for the situation to make a decision.
Make a plan."
After finishing speaking, Li Zhen took Zhu Wu and left.
Smith and Lu Shaochuan looked at each other with helpless expressions.
…
Yushan, northwest direction.
Li Zhen and Zhu Wu quietly lurked to the place where Wu Qigong's soldiers were resting, and watched in secret. Li Zhen had good eyesight, and with the moonlight falling, he could clearly see the situation of Wu Qigong's soldiers, so he took Zhu Wu with him.
leave.
Next, Li Zhen took Zhu Wu to the edge of the foot of Yushan Mountain.
Compared with the soldiers under Wu Qigong who were resting loosely in the mountains, Li Xiucheng's army was well-organized. It could be said that they had three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, and their vigilance was very good. At a glance, you can feel a sense of solemnity.
Qi. In such a situation, only the general in charge of the army can enforce the law clearly and know how to march and form troops, so that such a situation can be achieved.
After Li Zhen read it, he secretly thought that it would take a lot of effort to defeat Li Xiucheng. Especially since Li Zhen's target was not only Li Xiucheng, but also required careful planning.
Li Zhen found out the situation of Li Xiucheng and Wu Qigong before returning with Zhu Wu.
Back to the southeast of Yushan, it was already late at night, and Li Zhen and Zhu Wu were still on their way in a hurry. Smith and Lu Shaochuan looked at the panting Li Zhen, and when Li Zhen recovered, Lu Shaochuan
He opened his mouth and asked: "Commander, how is the situation?"
Li Zhen said with a smile on his face: "Let's find out clearly!"
Lu Shaochuan broke the casserole and asked, "Commander, now that you have found out the situation clearly, it is time to prepare to deal with Wu Qigong and Li Xiucheng. We can't stay in the mountains all the time. It's so boring."
Smith said: "Commander, you have been thinking about dealing with Li Xiucheng, please tell me your method."
Li Zhen laughed and said, "Look how anxious you are!"
Lu Shaochuan immediately said: "Can we not be anxious about whether we can win?"
Li Zhen knelt down, picked up a stone as big as an goose egg, gently pushed aside the leaves and branches on the ground, drew a simple map on the ground, and said: "In Yushan, we are located in the southeast of the map, and Wu Qigong is located in the southeast of the map.
To the northwest, Li Xiucheng led his soldiers to camp at the foot of the northern mountain of Yushan. In addition to these three places, there is another place in Yushan... As long as Wu Qigong cooperates and uses the terrain of Yushan, a fight can definitely be fought.
A beautiful victory.”
After Li Zhen finished speaking, he smiled and asked, "What about my method?"
Smith thought for a while and replied: "Commander, the method is feasible. But to develop according to your method, you must choose a person to send the message to Wu Qigong, and you must persuade Wu Qigong."
Zhu Wu said: "Commander, as the company commander of the Jian Dao Battalion, I will go."
Although Zhu Wu returned to Jian Dao Camp at this time, he had not made any achievements. He wanted to establish prestige in the army and convince all the soldiers. He needed to accumulate merits one by one, so he chose to take the initiative to join the army.
Li Zhen did not stop him and said directly: "Have a good rest tonight. You can go see Wu Qigong tomorrow."
"yes!"
Zhu Wu agreed, not only was he not worried at all, but he was excited to try it.
