Outside the gate is now the time when the grass is abundant, looking at the past from afar, a gust of wind, it is like a turquoise wave rippling in the past, faintly, I see a few white figures hidden in the grass, in the blue grass waves appear abrupt.

Xia Hongsheng looked over, looked down at the note in his hand, and then didn't raise his head, and said to the person beside him: "Old man, the Turkic peace envoy has set off, and it won't be long before you can get here, you can choose a place to start?" ”

Li Feng smiled and said to Xia Hongsheng: "There is a small lake more than a hundred miles ahead of here. It is impossible for the Turkic peace mission not to stop there to recuperate, so that is the best place for us to do it. If it is farther away, we are going deep into the past and the present, which is not very convenient. ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded, and then said to Li Feng: "The spies we have infiltrated the Turkic and pro-mission have sent information, and the Turkic and pro-envoy sent a total of twenty people this time, one of the chief envoys, and the rest are deputy envoys. In addition, the Turkic and pro-Turkic missions claimed to pay tribute to His Majesty 10,000 cattle and sheep, as well as thousands of purebred Turkic horses, and 500 people who specialized in raising and training horses. In addition to all the idle people, more than a thousand Turkic cavalry were sent for escort alone. That's not a small challenge! ”

"More than 1,000 Turkic cavalry ......," Li Feng also frowned.

"On the other hand, our manpower, counting the people who have come one after another in the past few days, is only nearly two hundred. The gap is too great, so you can only outwit. Xia Hongsheng said to Li Feng: "The place that the old man is looking for should be regarded as the position of the final blow!" It's just that our actions have to start at the front. ”

Li Feng looked at Xia Hongsheng. asked: "Master Hou has a plan?" ”

"Our purpose is to organize the Turkic peace envoy to enter the Tang Dynasty. And not to rob the Turks and pro-missions of their property. Always remember this, in fact, this is not difficult to do. Xia Hongsheng smiled and said, "It is very difficult to rob the Turkic property to face those Turkic cavalry. But we don't ask for money, we only want the itinerary of the Turks and pro-embassy, so that they can't reach Xiazhou for a long time, which is much simpler. We have to fight guerrilla warfare. ”

"Guerrilla warfare?" Li Bong didn't understand.

"It's a nuisance." Xia Hongsheng said to Li Feng: "We are constantly harassing the Turkic peace envoys and slowing them down. Keep them from moving forward. As for looting, let those people do it, just to help us divert our attention and make it unclear to the Turks what our true intentions are. ”

"Yes, those people can attract the attention of the Turks, so that the Turks think that someone has taken their belongings, and they will not think that our purpose is to slow them down." Li Feng nodded: "What is Xiahou going to do?" ”

Xia Hongsheng looked down at the note in his hand, smiled, and said, "Ten thousand heads of cattle and sheep, what kind of concept is that?" The vast expanse is endless! If the cattle and sheep are all in a mess, they are scurrying around. That scene...... Tsk......"

"Master Hou wants to startle those cattle and sheep and make the Turks messed up?" Li Bong thought for a moment. He understood Xia Hongsheng's intentions, and asked: "But there are so many cattle and sheep, and there are Turkic cavalry guarding outside, how can they be frightened?" ”

"Ten thousand cows and sheep can't be together. We don't have enough manpower, and we'll have to go out when the time comes. Xia Hongsheng looked at Li Feng and said with a smile.

Li Feng waved his hand: "But according to the orders of the Hou Ye." ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded, then turned over and got on the horse again, and turned back with Li Feng. According to the intelligence of the spies, the Turkic peace mission has been on its way for some time. Xia Hongsheng had to be greeted by people, and he couldn't wait until they were close to Xiazhou to make a move.

Beat the horse and returned to Xiazhou, but still did not go to the Thorn Mansion. summoned Liu Min into the inn and secretly explained the arrangement, Liu Min hurriedly left the inn and went to prepare.

"Master Hou, the old slave dared to ask, what did you ask Liu Tingshi to prepare?" Li Feng saw Liu Min leaving, came in and asked.

"Artillery battle." Xia Hongsheng said to Liu Min: "When Liu Tingshi is ready for the cannonballs, he will bother the old man to take people on a trip, secretly put these cannons into the package, and hang them on the bodies of those cattle and sheep at night and then ignite them." Once the artillery battle is ignited, it will inevitably frighten the herds of cattle, sheep and horses. Under the chaos, the Turks must be in a hurry, and the old man and those special combat soldiers will take advantage of the chaos to withdraw. Brother Yi led those people to ambush beside him, and after seeing the chaos of the Turks, he pretended to be robbers and rushed forward to loot, but remember not to fall in love with the war, don't wait for the Turks to react. In this way, those people tasted some sweetness, and the Turks would also stop because of the riots of cattle, sheep and horses, which were used for tribute, and if they scattered, the Turks would have stopped and looked around. That alone would have stopped them for days. You can't let those people grab too much at one time, otherwise the Turks are likely to give up those cattle and sheep, and instead of stopping to look for them, they will rush to Xiazhou for help. ”

Li Fengyi clapped his hands: "It turns out that Hou Ye is planning to do so!" Yes, if the tens of thousands of brutes go berserk, I'm afraid that another thousand more Turkic cavalry will also be decorations! Haha, the old slave will arrange it! ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded, and explained to Li Feng: "Just tell those people that they are ambushed, and there is no need to say much." If there is a dispute over the distribution of goods, tell them that what they have taken is their own, and that it is up to them what to do with it. Whether they keep it for money or use it to help the people is up to them. ”

"Don't worry, the old slave knows what to do!" Li Feng nodded, and then strode out of the inn, which didn't look like a eunuch at all.

When Li Feng went out, Xia Hongsheng took out the information again and read it carefully. Even if it was sent back to Xiazhou with carrier pigeons, there was a time difference. Intelligence says that the Turks are close to the edge, so now it is estimated that the Turks are close to the border.

Li Feng said that the small lake that is more than 100 miles ahead of him may not be enough. It's still too close to Xiazhou.

According to Xia Hongsheng's idea, it must be at least 500 miles away from Xiazhou. It's just that the distance that Li Feng said is too far and inconvenient, and it is indeed a problem.

After leaving Xiazhou, there are actually sparsely populated people along the way. Those people are nearly two hundred, and if they are together, the target is too big, and if they are scattered, it is inconvenient to control, so they should find a way so that they can appear on the grassland together, and it will not make people suspicious.
