Li Zhen's expression was cold. After returning to the big tent of the Chinese army, he immediately convened a meeting of the generals under his command. Among them, Yang Banhou, Smith, and Zhou Xiuying are impressively listed, and even Yang Luchan and Dong Haichuan also participated.

Li Zhenwei lowered his head, staring at the conference table, not looking at the generals under his command.

He said in a low voice, "You all know the corpses of the soldiers sent by Xi Changzhen. Ninety-nine corpses, ninety-nine brothers' lives. Each of them was shot several times, and some of the soldiers were even beaten into a sieve. Except for the company commander Wu Youfu, there is no news for the time being, and the first batch of soldiers sent to Zhennan Pass has completely failed. ”

Yang Banhou said: "Marshal, it's better to send a second batch, this time there are a little more people." ”

"the fart!"

Li Zhen slapped the conference table, raised his head, and roared loudly: "I don't know how the hundred soldiers sent out for the first time died?" I don't know anything about the situation in Zhennan Pass, so isn't it self-defeating to send it in again? Xi Changzhen knew about the existence of the hot air balloon, and for the first time, he wanted to let the soldiers take the hot air balloon, Xi Changzhen must have been prepared. ”

His eyes showed a fierce light, and he said loudly: "Xi Changzhen killed my ninety-nine brothers, and this revenge must be avenged." I can kill the enemy, I can care about the enemy's life, because they are the enemy. However, my soldiers cannot be left alone, and the lives of every soldier cannot be trampled on at will, they are not ants, they are not reptiles, they are living people. ”

Li Zhen's voice was very loud, and the soldiers standing guard suddenly warmed their hearts after hearing this.

Yang Banhou said: "Great Marshal, for now, it is very difficult to attack Zhennan Pass!" ”

Li Zhen said in a deep voice: "I didn't say that I would attack immediately, I waited for several days, do you still care about these two days?" Smith, Yang Banhou, you urge those who are going to dispatch the cannons to transport the cannons as soon as possible, the more the better. Dog's day, Xi Changzhen didn't think that Zhennanguan was a moat, Lao Tzu let dozens of cannons fire at him, not to mention that his Zhennanguan was made of stone, even if it was cast by King Kong, Lao Tzu let it fall. ”

"Yes!"

Smith and Yang Banhou nodded in response, and did not speak again.

Yang Luchan and Dong Haichuan sat on the side and didn't speak, just listened quietly. The two of them followed the army together, and were only responsible for killing the enemy and training the soldiers in the army, regardless of other things.

……

Three days are fleeting.

On this day, the soldiers came to report that the artillery transferred from the direction of Guangzhou was already on the way, and that they would arrive at the barracks one day. Li Zhen ordered the soldiers in the army to prepare, and called Ye Chengxin again.

Ye Cheng said respectfully: "Handsome! ”

Li Zhen picked up a letter in his hand, and on the cover of the letter was written the words "War Book". He handed the letter to Ye Chengxin and said, "This is my war letter to Xi Changzhen, and I will storm Zhennanguan two days later." You send soldiers to Xi Changzhen and see how he reacts. ”

"Yes!"

Ye Cheng nodded heartily, turned around and left the tent.

The soldiers of the barracks tied the envelopes with crossbow arrows and easily called out the war letters. On the city tower, Xi Changzhen looked at the letter with the two big characters of 'War Book' written on it, and read the content written by Li Zhen. There were not many words on the letter, only seven simple words: "In two days, the army will knock!" Xi Changzhen looked at such a letter, his heart sank, and his expression became solemn.

Chen Zhengshi took the letter and read it, and said, "My lord, Li Zhenkai knocks on the gate, why are we afraid?" ”

Xi Changzhen shook his head lightly and said in a deep voice: "Li Zhen attacked Zhennan Pass, why did he choose two days later?" You must know that if Li Zhen has the strength, he can attack Zhennan Pass immediately. I think there's a reason for that. After a pause, Xi Changzhen instructed: "Lao Chen, send soldiers to investigate, be sure to find out the reason within a day, and see what Li Zhen has planned."

"Yes!"

Chen Zhengshi nodded in response and immediately went to carry out the order.

At this time, a layer of clouds was already shrouded in the south of the town. Xi Changzhen did not hide the news of Li Zhen's knocking on the pass, but spread the news and told all the soldiers guarding the checkpoint. He told all the soldiers the news and let the soldiers participate, so as to mobilize the soldiers to a greater extent.

……

The next day, at noon.

Outside the barracks of the Qing army, a man with an unkempt face covered in mud appeared.

This person is the company commander Wu Youfu.

His face was covered with stains, and the soldiers standing guard were no longer recognizable. Fortunately, after Wu Youfu explained, the soldiers standing guard hurriedly went to report. Soon, Li Zhenfei ran out, and when Li Zhen saw Wu Youfu's appearance, he was also stunned in place. After a while, Li Zhen strode towards Wu Youfu, ignoring the stains on Wu Youfu's body, hugged the bear fiercely, and then took Wu Youfu's hand and walked into the oversized tent.

Li Zhen met Wu Youfu in the big tent, and his heart was sour.

The generals under his command turned out to be like this.

Li Zhen adjusted his mentality and asked, "Company Commander Wu, what happened after you entered Zhennan Pass?" Why was the whole army destroyed? And how did you escape? ”

"Dashuai, it's all my fault!"

Wu Youfu said loudly, and he cried.

A big man, crying to death.

Li Zhen didn't open his mouth to reprimand, he could feel the sorrow in Wu Youfu's heart, and he could feel the bitterness in the loud cry. Li Zhen didn't stop it, and let Wu Youfu squat on the ground and cry, crying for three minutes, Wu Youfu choked twice and stopped crying. There were already tears in his stained face, which were very obvious.

Li Zhen said: "Say, what's going on? ”

Wu Youfu told the situation at that time, and said with self-reproach and remorse: "If it weren't for my greed, I wouldn't have chased and killed the soldiers sent by Xi Changzhen, I wouldn't have been ambushed, and my brothers wouldn't have died tragically!" Wu Youfu knelt on the ground with a thud, kowtowed again and again, the thumping sound resounded in the camp tent, and his forehead became red after a while.

Li Zhen didn't speak, and listened to Wu Youfu continue: "The sixth platoon commander gave me the map of the path leading to the outside of Zhennan Pass, so that I could escape back smoothly. As he spoke, Wu Youfu took out a silk silk from his arms, which depicted a map leading to Zhennan Pass, which was the handwriting of the six platoon leaders.

Li Zhen looked at it and asked, "Are you sure the trail is correct?" ”

Wu Youfu said: "It's absolutely right, I'll go through it again, and there will be no problems." ”

Li Zhen asked again, "Do you want revenge?" ”

"I want to, I dream of it."

Wu Youfu's eyes flashed with hatred, and his fists clenched.

Li Zhen nodded and said in a deep voice: "Since you want to take revenge, it's good." Tomorrow, I will lead a large army to storm Zhennan Pass, and since you have found the path to Zhennan Pass, I will give you a thousand soldiers. You took these 1,000 soldiers and walked the trail to Zhennan Pass overnight. When I use artillery to attack, once I break through Zhennan Pass, you lead your troops to intercept Xi Changzhen's retreat. ”

"Yes!"

Wu Youfu wiped his tears and was ready to avenge his dead brother.
