Li Zhen poked the ground heavily with a wooden stick and said solemnly: "I agree with Lu Shaochuan's opinion. The goal has not been achieved. How can we easily evacuate? We must annihilate the army brought by Yang Xiuqing and let Yang Xiuqing The prestige and power in the Taiping Kingdom have declined, and there have been disputes among the kings. If this goal is not achieved, the troops cannot be withdrawn."
Long Ao bent down, reached out and drew a circle around Xia Shu Town and Dongyang Town, and said: "Commander, we have left these two towns. I think it is not suitable to go back. Even if we go back to fight back, we will only mobilize Yang Xiuqing's army came to pursue us, and then fought with Yang Xiuqing like tonight, unable to defeat Yang Xiuqing's forces in one fell swoop."
After a pause, Long Ao said loudly: "I think the current focus should be on Longtan Town. Using Longtan Town for kung fu, only by involving Yang Xiuqing's tens of thousands of troops can we win this war in one fell swoop."
"Longtan Town."
The wooden stick in Li Zhen's hand fell on the location of Longtan Town, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he fell into deep thought.
Long Ao, Huang Qiang, and Lu Shaochuan also used their brains to think of ways. At this time, the four of them fell silent, while the surrounding soldiers rested in place.
Suddenly, Li Zhen said: "I think that even if we want to attack Longtan Town, we must first hide our whereabouts. Our previous goal was Longtan Town. It is very clear that Yang Xiuqing also knows it. If we do not hide our whereabouts, Yang Xiuqing will definitely lead the attack." Heading to Longtan Town, once Yang Xiuqing's army arrives, it will be difficult for us. Only by hiding our army so that Yang Xiuqing does not know our location can we implement the next plan."
Long Ao said: "The commander-in-chief is right. This is a prerequisite."
"I have an idea."
Lu Shaochuan chuckled and said with a happy face: "Commander, what do you think about quietly controlling the county magistrate of Longtan Town and then using the magistrate of Longtan Town to deal with Yang Xiuqing?"
Li Zhen nodded and said: "Captain Lu has a good idea, you can try to use it."
Lu Shaochuan chuckled, his face showing infinite glory.
Huang Qiang interrupted and said: "I think that to deal with Yang Xiuqing's army, especially if we want to solve it in one fell swoop, it is not enough to just control the county magistrate of Longtan Town. We must rely on external forces. Throughout the ages, there have been almost all wars that can truly win with less. The existence of external factors, fire attack, flooding, ice and snow, etc... I think that only by implementing this method can we capture Yang Xiuqing on a large scale."
After hearing this, Li Zhen's mind started to spin rapidly and gradually formed a line. A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind and he said: "Yes, I have thought of the overall plan."
Long Ao said: "Commander, what are you going to do?"
Li Zhen said in a deep voice: "According to what was said before, we first hide our whereabouts so that Yang Xiuqing cannot find our location, and then..."
After finishing speaking, Li Zhen looked at the three of them and said, "There is no danger. What do you think?"
Lu Shaochuan said: "Commander, although it is feasible, it is still a bit complicated. This matter is one step after another. No mistakes are allowed. Moreover, there is still a certain small danger. If you perform the task If something goes wrong, it is likely that the work will fall short and you will also have problems."
Li Zhen said: "There are risks in everything we do. All we can do is to make things as perfect as possible. Since everyone has no objections, this matter has been decided. Once we find a place to hide our whereabouts, we will immediately Start implementing the plan.”
Long Ao, Huang Qiang and others agreed and would no longer object.
Li Zhen looked at Lu Shaochuan and ordered: "Captain Lu, the next thing is mainly to hide your whereabouts. You send soldiers to inquire about the surrounding situation and find places to hide your whereabouts."
"yes."
Lu Shaochuan agreed and prepared for this matter. The army set off overnight and rushed towards Longtan Town, and constantly sent soldiers to find hiding places.
…
The next morning, the sun was shining brightly.
Yang Xiuqing got up very early. The first thing he did when he got up was to convey the order to ask the military scouts to find out about Li Zhen. Then, Yang Xiuqing washed up, had breakfast, etc. After everything was ready, Hong Xuanjiao had arrived. In the big tent, after being nourished by Yang Xiuqing, Hong Xuanjiao's face was rosy, her cheeks had a hint of flying clouds, and her eyes were full of spring, charming and enchanting.
In particular, Hong Xuanjiao himself was also a general who commanded thousands of troops. He had a different feeling from Xiaojiabiyu soldiers, and his temperament was quite good. Yang Xiuqing couldn't help but feel swayed when he saw it.
This woman is very good in bed.
However, Yang Xiuqing has a lot of things to do now, so she just thinks about it and cannot take action.
Yang Xiuqing waved his hand and said: "Sit down, I will immediately summon the generals to discuss matters." After saying that, Yang Xiuqing immediately sent an order to summon the generals in the army to the Chinese army's tent for discussion.
Yang Xiuqing put on a dragon robe and a bright yellow hat, with a serious expression, like a king above the nine heavens. His eyes were cold and serious, scanning the generals in the army one by one, and said in a leisurely manner: " We have gathered everyone together to ask you to consider ways to deal with Li Zhen, so that everyone can speak freely and express what is in their hearts."
Lars was very active after hearing this, and immediately said: "Your Excellency Dong Wang, in my opinion, we must first determine Li Zhen's movements. This is the prerequisite for the next march."
Yang Xiuqing said in a deep voice: "I have sent someone to find out the news and will be back soon."
Hong Xuanjiao's eyes fell on Lars and said calmly: "Mr. Lars, there seems to be no contradiction between us thinking about ways to deal with Li Zhen and trying to find out about Li Zhen."
Lars glanced at Hong Xuanjiao, his eyes like lightning.
Judging from Lars's view of being among the women, Hong Xuanjiao must have had a lot of love to have such a face with spring in her eyes. And Hong Xuanjiao's identity is second only to Yang Xiuqing, the only one who can make Hong Xuanjiao obedient. There is only Yang Xiuqing as the Eastern King, and when Lars thought about the rumors about Yang Xiuqing and Hong Xuanjiao, he confirmed his thoughts.
When he thought of this, a smile suddenly appeared on Lars' lips.
Hong Xuanjiao's heart skipped a beat when she saw the half-smiling expression on Lars's face. She tried her best to raise her head and chest, sit up straight, and keep her expression serious and dignified, so as not to be noticed.
Lars said with a smile: "What Queen Xiao said is right. It's my fault."
Yang Xiuqing also noticed the situation, coughed twice, changed the topic, and said: "Tell me your own thoughts, talk about the problems in your heart, and think about it carefully."
Jiang Mu said: "Commander, I think we have become passive now, which is not good for us."
"Oh, what do you think?" Yang Xiuqing asked.
Jiang Mu said seriously: "The general believes that when we fight Li Zhen, we must take the initiative instead of passively pursuing him. If Li Zhen keeps running away and we keep chasing, in such a battle, we will always be led by the nose. , it is easy to fall into the trap set by Li Zhen."
