The topography of the whole Jiangxi is high on the east, south, and west sides, and gradually retreats to the middle, and Zuihou slopes to the north. Zhang Xianzhong's 200,000-strong army came from the west, and it was generally condescending.

The reason why Yuanzhou is called the right gateway of the river is because Yuanzhou is at the junction of mountains and relatively flat hills and plains, once Yuanzhou is lost, Zhang Xianzhong's army can be poured down, such as a flood rushing out of the canyon, scattered and rushing to spread throughout Jiangxi.

There is Wugong Mountain at the junction of Yuanzhou southwest and Pingxiang, the strange peaks list the magnificence, there is the posture of "thousands of miles of clouds and mountains are all in the eye, the sun and the moon can rub shoulders in the nine clouds", once called the three famous mountains in the south of the Yangtze River together with Hengshan and Lushan.

And between Wugong Mountain and Jiuling Mountain in the northeast of Yuanzhou, there is a series of undulating mountains from west to east, which is the watershed of Yuanshui and Jinjiang, and this continuous mountain forms a clamp in the tiger's mouth in the west of Yuanzhou. The tiger's mouth is surrounded by mountains and rivers, which is very dangerous.

Wu Xueli's 50,000-strong army was stationed at the mouth of the tiger at this moment.

Zhang Xianzhong's 200,000-strong army is like a huge dark cloud floating down from Wugong Mountain, which has the potential to cover the entire Jiangxi. To the west of Laohukou is a relatively open hilly area formed by the alluvial rivers of the river;

Looking from the mountain, this open area is now full of soldiers, military tents, stretching for sixty or seventy miles, and there is no end in sight. Coupled with the noise of people and neighing, the heavens and the earth seemed to be boiling.

Zhang Xianzhong's men and horses are a huge lake on the high mountain, and the tiger's mouth is the embankment that blocks the flood.

Zhang Xianzhong took a bath in the river and stood up from the water naked, with large and small scars scattered on his brass-colored skin, which was quite scary.

Xu Yixian, the military advisor, waited on the shore with a royal robe, and a little away, Li Dingguo, Hu Yansan, Li Zhaoguang and other generals stood solemnly and waited. It wasn't until Zhang Xianzhong put on the king's robe and equipped with a treasure knife that Li Dingguo and others dared to come over.

The crowd had not yet spoken. Zhang Xianzhong stroked his beard that was more than a foot long, looked at Yuan Shui beside him and sighed: "It's a pity, the drop in this river is too big, the water is turbulent, and it is difficult to pass through the boat." ”

The river around him is called Yuan Shui, which originates from the northern foot of Wugong Mountain in Pingxiang, flows eastward, passes through the city from Yuanzhou, passes through Linjiang Mansion (Xinyu), and joins the Ganjiang River in Zhangjiashan of Zhangshu. A section of Yuanzhou is clear because of the flowing water. The scenery on both sides of the strait is beautiful, so it is also called Xiujiang.

Xu Yixian and others naturally knew why Zhang Xianzhong sighed, the tiger's mouth is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and now there are 50,000 troops of Wu Xueli stationed there, and they have to pay huge casualties if they want to attack it. If Yuan Shui can be used by boat, there will be one more waterway to go, which will be much more beneficial to their 20th army.

"King, although Yuan Shui is difficult to navigate. However, we can also choose some water-based haode people, under the cover of night, and quietly float down with bamboo rafts to disturb the rear of Wu Xueli. ”

"No. No matter how stupid Wu Xueli is, it is impossible not to guard against this, this river is rushing here and draining down. No matter how good the water is, it can only go downstream, and it is difficult to go back, if it is detected by the enemy in advance. Wouldn't all the people sent have to go into the river to feed the fish? ”

"What the king said is very true, but he is not thoughtful, please ask the king to condemn him."

"Okay, okay, let's hurry up and discuss, how to take the tiger's mouth as soon as possible, our 200,000 soldiers eat horses and chew, and it will cost countless more grain and grass to drag it out for a day, we can't afford it, Dingguo, what plan do you have?"

People rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, Zhang Xianzhong put on a brand new royal robe, looking quite majestic, he sat on a rock, everyone bowed down and stood on the left and right, as if standing in the court.

Li Dingguo was asked, and hurriedly came out and replied: "Father, the terrain of the tiger's mouth is narrow, and it is difficult for our troops to be fully deployed, so although our army has 200,000 people, it cannot give full play to the advantage of troops. Moreover, most of our army are newly attached people, and if the casualties are too heavy, the morale of the army will inevitably be weakened, so blindly attacking the tiger's mouth is not the best policy. Looking at the mountains around the tiger's mouth, although the army can not pass, but a small group of people and horses can still touch it, the child thinks, we do not guard against the strong attack on the tiger's mouth, on the other hand, send a large number of small groups of people and horses to penetrate the mountains and penetrate the past, rob its grain road, burn its supplies, and mess up its military heart, if it can form a trend of blooming everywhere, then the enemy of the tiger's mouth will not attack itself. ”

Zhang Xianzhong nodded slightly, now it seems that there is only this method to try, anyway, the 200,000 horses under his command have just been pulled up, and they are divided into small groups and infiltrated in large quantities, it is better than waiting here to waste food in vain, even if they die, it will not be heartbroken, and it is a big deal to pull up another 200,000.

As soon as Xu Yixian saw that Zhang Xianzhong approved Li Dingguo's plan, he immediately added: "King, if this is the case, we can also send a general to the past, and see the opportunity to slowly gather the various forces that have infiltrated the past, and accumulate a small stream to form a big river. ”

Zhang Xianzhong immediately shouted: "Okay, just do it, Hu Yansan!" ”

"The end will be."

"You have fought with the enemy, and you are more familiar with the terrain around Yuanzhou, let you go over, if you can as the military advisor said, collect the men and horses who have infiltrated the past, and attack the front and back of the tiger's mouth, you will be the first to do this."

"The last will obey."

"I'll leave it all to you to send a small group of people to infiltrate, go ahead."

"Yes, my lord."

After Hu Yansan received the order, Zhang Xianzhong said to the generals: "Who wants to lead the army to attack the tiger's mouth?" ”

Including Li Dingguo, seven or eight generals came out to ask for help, Zhang Xianzhong swept the generals at a glance, the pair of inverted eyebrows Xiangshang raised, strong and rough state was revealed, he said to Li Dingguo in a deep voice: "Dingguo, this battle will be attacked by you, this king will give you 100,000 horses, no matter whether Hu Yansan can respond from the rear, you can take the tiger's mouth within five days, do you dare to take the order." ”

"Obey my father's order, and within five days, I will take the tiger's mouth."

"Okay, you can go and prepare now."

After the generals went to prepare for the war, Zhang Xianzhong and Xu Yixian were left to stay by the river, Zhang Xianzhong took away his awe-inspiring posture and asked seemingly unintentionally: "What does the military advisor think of Qin Mu?" ”

"Qin Mu?" Zhang Xianzhong suddenly mentioned Qin Mu at this time, Xu Yixian was both a little surprised and a little clear, although he had not heard of this person before, but Zhang 20,000 elite forwards were lost in the hands of Qin Mu, Yuan Zhou gained and lost, and the reason why today's 200,000 troops became so passive was due to the sudden appearance of Qin Mu;

Xu Yixian thought for a while and replied cautiously: "King, in my opinion, although Qin Mu's soldiers are strong, after all, there are only two thousand men and horses, and if they fight head-on, it is really not a problem. Judging from the methods of several battles between him and Zhang Qi in the 20,000 fronts, he does not seem to be dependent on the elite soldiers, but prefers to take the sword to the side, use tactics, use time, lure the enemy, harass the enemy, sneak attack, ambush, and spend a variety of means. Therefore, it seems that the king only needs to guard against his tricks, and does not have to worry about his decisive influence on the overall situation. ”

Zhang Xianzhong asked quietly: "Do you really think so?" ”

"What does this king mean?"

"What does the king mean?" Zhang Xianzhong's pair of inverted eyebrows suddenly raised again, "What this king means is that from the moment Yuan Zhou gained and lost, Qin Mu has already had an immeasurable impact on the overall situation. ”

Xu Yixian was so frightened that he fell to his knees, and asked again and again: "The king forgives the sin, the king forgives the sin"

"Get up."

"Thank you, thank you, King." Xu Yixian wiped his sweat and got up at the same time, he knew very well in his heart, don't look at Zhang Xianzhong on the surface to treat him very seriously, but Zhang Xianzhong's contempt for literati in his bones has never changed, Zhang Xianzhong called the king, accepted Li Dingguo and others as righteous sons, and sealed the town general, as far as he is a military division, he is still a military division, which can be seen.

"Mr. Xu has not thought about it, Zhang Qizhi's defeat is probably like you, and he underestimated the enemy."

"Yes, yes, the king has taught him a lesson." No matter what Zhang Xianzhong said, Xu Yixian hurriedly recognized, "King, according to the report of Tanma, Qin Mu has now retreated to Yuchun Mountain in the north of Yuanzhou, and he also had a conflict with Wu Xueli, and the two sides fought a big battle. King, why don't we take advantage of this to separate Wu and Qin. ”

"Oh, military advisor, please tell me, what a method of discord."

"King, we can send an envoy to Qin Mu's military to recruit him to attach, and then deliberately leak this matter to Wu Xueli to learn, and then spread some rumors that Qin Mu is ready to cooperate with our army and attack Wu Xueli.

"Well, this plan is good, let the military advisor hurry up."

"Yes, my lord."
