Liu Rumei clasped her fists again, "There is also movement outside Qingniu City. Zhu Jianyu is indeed planning to flee to Qingniu Mountain. Should we follow the original plan?"
Xiao Jingyun thought for a moment and said, "Let him go up the mountain. It's too late to mobilize troops and horses to intercept him now."
At this time, Princess Zhaoning next to her spoke, "Brother Emperor, I think it is better for us to send people to follow their soldiers into the mountains and disturb him."
After hearing these words, Xiao Jingyun nodded approvingly, "This is a very clever plan. They entered the mountain overnight and it must have been very chaotic."
"But where will we hide after entering the mountain?"
Everyone can cause chaos during the march, but when setting up camp, you have nowhere to hide.
At this time, Liu Rumei spoke, "Your Highness, I think it's better to go find Chen Xiaobei. He must have a solution."
Jamel Xiao raised his head and looked at the sky, "It's almost the third watch, is it appropriate?"
"Your Highness, please get someone ready. I'll go find him right away." Liu Rumei beat Ma Rufei and quickly arrived at Centipede Ridge.
When he heard that Liu Rumei was coming, Chen Xiaobei immediately realized that something important must have happened.
After patiently listening to Liu Rumei's introduction, Chen Xiaobei was also scratching his head a little.
It's really difficult to sneak in and find a place to hide. Think about it, there are only a few places on Qingniu Mountain where you can hide people, one is Calabash Valley, and the other is the newly discovered underground passage.
The other is where the longan is located.
But for now, it’s hard to say whether the location of Longan can be visited now. Another problem is that it is too far, so there are only two most realistic options, Hulu Valley or underground passage. The underground passage is damp and not suitable for long-term escape, and it is very dangerous.
It is easy to be blocked by others and catch a turtle in a jar.
After much deliberation, only Calabash Valley is the most suitable.
Thinking of this, he cupped his fist at Liu Rumei and said, "Miss Liu, there is indeed a hiding place on the mountain, but I have only been there a few times, and I don't know the details."
Liu Rumei smiled calmly, "As long as you can hide, it will be fine. When the war is over, I will send someone to help you take a closer look over there."
Liu Rumei was making nervous preparations, and at this time on Qingniu Mountain, Zhu Meng also received good news that the Great Tu Kingdom and the Dalin Kingdom had finally sent troops.
After reading this letter, Zhang Liao laughed loudly and said, "Commander, since the Great Tu Kingdom and Dalin Kingdom have sent troops, I don't think General Zhu will be allowed to come over."
After listening to Zhang Liao's words, Zhu Meng thought for a moment and nodded.
"That makes sense. Send a message to Shanxia quickly and ask Wang Long to bring another 20,000 troops to support Qingniu County. We must hold on."
Zhu Jianyu was ready to leave the city, when suddenly soldiers hurried over.
"There is an urgent message from General Mountain. It is from the commander-in-chief."
Zhu Jianyu took it and took a look.
There was silence for a while, and then it was handed to Peng Chong beside him.
After reading it, Peng Chong sighed, "Oh, it's too late."
"Brother Peng, what should we do about this?" Zhu Jianyu was a little undecided.
"There is no other way. We can only wait for General Wang Long to arrive and take charge of the overall situation."
After listening to Peng Chong's words, Zhu Jianyu waved his hand helplessly and ordered everyone to return to the camp.
Returning to his tent, Zhu Jianyu was extremely depressed. He was about to leave this hellish place, but he suddenly ordered himself to stay and asked Wang Long to come over for reinforcements.
"General Zhu, don't be too sad. The commander suddenly changed his mind. There must be a reason for it."
"Everything will come to light when General Wang Lung arrives."
Facing Peng Chong's comfort, Zhu Jianyu sighed, "Wang Long is a die-hard loyal to the commander-in-chief. When he comes, he will definitely give orders to hold on. To be honest, I really don't want to conflict with His Highness the Crown Prince."
Peng Chong chuckled, "Then why don't we send a message to the prince before General Wang Long arrives? If anything changes in the future, we will have made a great contribution."
Zhu Jianyu nodded, wrote a letter, called his cronies over, and asked him to leave the city overnight and hand it over to Prince Xiao Jingyun.
Everything was ready for the prince, and Chen Xiaobei also arrived. He was running towards Qingniu Mountain, but suddenly he received a letter from Zhu Jianyu.
After reading Zhu Jianyu's letter, Xiao Jamyun frowned.
"I think Zhu Meng must have gotten the news, so he asked Zhu Jianyu to stick to Qingniu County."
Princess Zhaoning next to her had a look of disdain on her face, "Brother, even if he holds on, so what, our tenth army will still beat his ass and piss him off as soon as we arrive."
Xiao Jingyun sighed, "Yes, of course it will be no problem when the Ten Route Army arrives, but now we have to wait at least ten days to get the manpower together, and we can't afford to wait."
Upon seeing this, Liu Rumei said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, then we might as well defeat them one by one, attack Qingniu County first, and then seize Qingniu Mountain."
Jamel Xiao nodded and turned to look at Chen Xiaobei who was standing next to him.
"Brother Xiaobei, this trip is in vain. You should go back and rest first."
Chen Xiaobei smiled indifferently and clasped his fist at Xiao Jingyun, "Your Highness asked me to say that it would be better to change the situation and attack Qingniu Mountain first and then Qingniu County. It would be as easy as flipping a finger."
After hearing Chen Xiaobei's words, Xiao Jamyun frowned.
"With hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses on Qingniu Mountain, it is not easy to break through."
Chen Xiaobei still looked calm, "Your Highness, that little girl and the others came down from the mountain very easily, which means there are still some flaws."
After hearing what he said, Xiao Jamyun's eyes lit up, "Then tell me what you can do?"
"It's very simple. Go to the mountains and set fire to burn all the food and grass in their tents. Naturally, the morale of the army will be unstable."
Xiao Jingyun shook his head, "But an army of more than 200,000 people rushed down from the mountain, and we can't stop it."
Chen Xiaobei smiled slightly and said, "As long as His Royal Highness sticks to the camp and refuses to fight, Zhu Meng's army will be defeated in less than a day."
After listening to Chen Xiaobei's words, Xiao Jingyun slowly stood up, pondered for a long time, and looked at Princess Zhaoning next to her.
"Jingfeng, what do you think?"
Of course Princess Zhaoning understood what she meant by asking her, she just wanted to let the little girl and the others go up the mountain again.
She nodded hurriedly, "This is a great plan. I will immediately send all my men under your command."
Liu Rumei also clasped her fists, "We are willing to obey His Highness's instructions."
Xiao Jingyun waved his hand, "The first priority is to find out where the army's food and grass garrison is on the mountain."
At this time, Liu Kai next to him spoke.
"Your Highness, I went up the mountain two days ago and found out that a large part of the food and grass can only be reached by crossing a rope bridge."
Chen Xiaobei and Liu Rumei looked at each other, and their expressions became solemn at the same time. If they wanted to cross the bridge, they would be near the Dogwood Forest, almost to the top of Qingniu Mountain.
This shows that Zhu Meng was very cautious and kept food and grass under his nose.
But it would be too difficult to burn his food and grass.
Seeing Chen Xiaobei and Liu Rumei being silent at the same time, Xiao Jingyun also realized that things were not that simple.
