Zhao Tong and Flying Fox had a disagreement. Flying Fox believes that these vanguard tribes are just vigilant, and eating these people will only startle the grass and snakes, reminding Buqi that there are ambushes here, so don't want to get greater profits, so you should let these people go and concentrate on waiting for Buqi to enter. Zhao Tong shook his head with a smile and explained that there are only more than 2,000 of us, and the only thing we can rely on is location. If we want to confront the army of Buqi head-on, we don't have a chance of winning, and it is even more delusional to swallow him in one bite.

But it is more than enough for us to eat these vanguards, and when the foot is informed of the news, it will definitely be cautious, and the pace of the march will be further slowed down. Then half of our goal has been achieved, as long as he is dragged on the road, once the army of Buqi runs out of food, he has the possibility of collapse, and when the time comes, we will follow the trail and pursue, accumulating small victories for big victories, isn't it better than fighting Buqi here?

Feihu is also a smart person, and immediately understood what Zhao Tong meant.

After the discussion was decided, Zhao Tong gave the order to attack, and more than 2,000 barbarian soldiers jumped out of their hiding places and poured down from the slopes on both sides. They ran and shot at the same time, and their mouths kept screaming, and more than 300 Wu troops were attacked, and they were scared enough, where did they still have the courage to fight.

Waiting for work, the disparity in troops, Zhao Tong and others easily won the victory, and the Wu army suffered heavy casualties and fled. The barbarians swarmed up, stripped the Wu army of those killed or wounded in battle, robbed them of all their clothes, weapons, and belongings, and then scattered and disappeared into the mountains.

Bu Qi got the news and ordered to line up on the spot and prepare for battle. While sending someone to the front to investigate. When the reinforcements arrived, there was only the naked body of Wu Jun in the valley, but there was not a single barbarian in sight. Wu Jun was so angry that he smoked, but he felt a chill in his heart. This insult to the bodies of their comrades by the barbarians gives the impression that they are not fighting people, but a group of wild beasts.

Bu Qi didn't dare to be careless, he was afraid of being ambushed, and he took every step of the way. Zhao Tong did not attack, he just took advantage of the barbarians' familiarity with the terrain to constantly harass and sneak attack the Buqi, and the most losses of the Buqi were the scouts and the soldiers on duty at night. Roll call every night. A few scouts would go missing, and every morning, several, or a dozen or so guards would be on guard in the wilderness. The barbarians seemed to be tireless, peeping at Wu Jun all the time. As long as someone is alone. There will definitely be an attack. Even patrols of fifty people were attacked from time to time.

Although the number of casualties was small, it seriously affected the morale of the army. Zhao Tong also took advantage of the favorable terrain to block the Buqi from time to time. He doesn't seek big wins. It is often a rush to eat the vanguard of the foot, and then it flees without a trace, and the main force of the footfall is unable to guard against it, and it is impossible to catch up with it, and it is tired of coping.

Bu Qi was in a situation of being beaten passively, don't look at his seven or eight thousand troops, but he didn't know how many people Zhao Tong had, and in this heavy mountain, he didn't have the strength and courage to fight guerrilla warfare with the barbarians. What's more, because of Zhao Tong's harassment and delay, his itinerary was affected, and military rations gradually became his hidden worry. This was thanks to his early retreat, otherwise he would not have had even the time to maneuver.

Bu Qi did not dare to act rashly, he sent a large number of heralds to break through the siege, rushed to Youyang, and asked to send someone to answer, while advancing step by step, steadily advancing, as much as possible not to give Zhao Tongda a chance.

The two sides launched a tug-of-war in the mountains, marching and advancing, and Zhao Tong was elusive, seizing every possible opportunity to attack the Wu army. Wu Jun was in tension all day long, and he could be attacked by barbarians at every moment, and some were even bitten to death by dogs, which made Wu Jun's mental state on the verge of collapse, and he was shocked every day.

Even Bu Qi himself doubted whether he could return to Youyang safely, and how many people could be brought back by these more than 8,000 people. The remaining hundreds of miles of mountain road seem so long, and no one knows if they will be able to reach the end. The mountains shrouded in dense vegetation are like crouching giant beasts, which may open their bloody mouths at any time and devour countless lives.

……

Linyuan.

Liao An returned home with a gloomy face, and as soon as he entered the door, he felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere at home. He was just about to speak, when the butler, who was waiting at the door, greeted him and whispered a few words in his ear. When Liao An heard this, his face suddenly changed. He had one foot in the door and one foot outside the door, and he didn't move for a long time. After a long while, he sighed softly and walked briskly into the backyard.

At dusk, Liao Li was sitting in the hall, calmly admiring a plum tree in full bloom in the lower courtyard. The dark fragrance of plum blossoms is surging, refreshing people's hearts. Liao Liwei tilted his face, his eyes closed slightly, and he was fascinated.

"Brother, you really have a lot of leisure." Liao An smiled bitterly: "Aren't you afraid that I will send you to Lord Fujun?" ”

"What are you sending me for?" Liao Li opened his eyes, glanced at Liao An, and smiled: "You just send me there, Wei Jing will only treat me as a VIP, and don't dare to do anything to me." ”

"Yes, yes, brother, your name is outside, and no one dares to offend you. However, when did you leave Wenshan and how? ”

"Of course I was asked to leave." Liao Li said lightly, stretched out his hand and pointed to the packages piled high in the study: "Have you seen it, these are all dowry gifts." ”

Liao An's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he muttered for a long time: "That brother is really dressed in fine clothes." ”

"It's not about walking at night, it's just seeing the dawn again."

"Brother, can Wei Ba be compared to Liu Bei?" Liao An couldn't help it, and sneered: "He is just a handful in Zhuge Liang's hands, if you follow him, nothing good will end." ”

Liao Li laughed, stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around Liao An's shoulder, pulled him into the book door, and closed the door smoothly, before he said softly: "If it weren't for me, he might not be Zhuge Liang's opponent, but now with my help, the result will be completely different." Ziping, I'm your age, I've been a Changsha Taishou for a few years, how long do you plan to sit in the position of the main bookkeeper? ”

Liao An sighed, very lonely. He originally wanted to rely on supporting Wei Jing to ascend to the throne, but in the battle of Youshui, Wei Jing was captured by Wei Basheng, and his reputation was already stinking. If it weren't for the wartime, to stabilize the people's hearts, coupled with the strength to protect it, Wei Jing would have been demoted long ago. With Wei Jing, there is no future, his career is dark, and he can't see any light.

"Come with me to help Wei Ba, no matter how bad it is in the future, two thousand stones are indispensable."

"Where did you get your faith?" Liao An asked rhetorically.

"That's all." Liao Li pointed to the packages in the corner of the wall and roughly described the experience of his meeting with Wei Ba: "Although Wei Ba can't be compared with the first emperor, he dares to invite me at the risk of offending Zhuge Liang, and he can pay me a big responsibility as soon as we meet, which shows that he can do great things." If such people don't help, who else do you want to help? A pedantic scholar like Wei Jing? ”

Liao An was silent for a long time, and laughed helplessly: "Since this is the case, then I'll tell you a bad news first." Lu Xun, the auxiliary general, is coming to preside over the war in Wuxi, and the Wei Ba you value doesn't know how long he can rejoice. ”

Liao Li frowned: "When did it happen?" ”

"It's this morning, I just got the news from the pavilion."

Liao Li thought for a while and sneered: "Not to mention whether Lu Xun can catch up with him when he comes from Wuchang, even if he can arrive in time, he may not be able to stop Wei Ba." Wei Ba himself can humiliate him once, and now with my help, weishenme can't humiliate him a second time? ”

Liao An shook his head, Liao Li is nearly half a hundred years old, and he is still as high-spirited as he was back then. But he also thought about it, Lu Xun came to Wuxi, which means that Bu Qi and the others have failed, and his future is even darker, since Liao Li has taken a fancy to Wei Ba and wants to gamble, then follow him to gamble.

"Okay, what do you want me to do?"

"Two things, one, pay close attention to the news that comes and goes, especially the news about Lu Xun. Second, help me hide these few details. You don't have to worry about anything else. ”

"What about you?"

"I'm going to Changsha to see the old days. You get me a road pass at once, and I'll leave early tomorrow morning. ”

……

At the foot of Xuefeng Mountain, Wei Ba crouched on a big rock and looked at the Wu army camp under the mountain.

After the surprise attack on Wuyang was successful, Wei Ba went down the river, turned from Yuanshui to Xiongshui, and went straight to Xuefeng Mountain. As its name suggests, the peak is snow-capped and the wind is biting. Although Wei Ba and the others were wearing thick battle jackets, their hands and feet were still cold. Weapons and armor are so cold to the touch that they can almost peel off a layer of skin.

Lu Dai's camp is at the foot of Xuefeng Mountain, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and in front of it is a lake formed by the convergence of snow water from Xuefeng Mountain, which leads directly to Xiongshui. It's winter, the lake has shrunk considerably, and many places have fallen on the pebbles on the shore. Tents are like mushrooms, open in an open river valley at the foot of the Snow Peaks.

"It looks like there are at least four or five thousand of them." Guan Feng held his hands while looking at the military camp under the mountain. "The warehouse is heavily guarded, and it is very difficult to storm it."

"I didn't plan to attack it." Wei Ba took Guan Feng's hand, covered it in his palm, and smiled slightly: "Surprise wins, first of all, it is strange, no matter how careful the other party does, from another angle, it may be a big flaw." ”

"For example?" Guan Feng glanced at Wei Ba and twitched his hand, but he didn't twitch. She looked around weakly, and saw that some of the others were guarding the surroundings, and some were looking at the Wu army camp below, and did not pay attention to their small movements, so she gave up her efforts.

"You see, Lu Dai built the granary under a cliff and guarded it with heavy soldiers. In this way, the enemy will not be able to break through from the front, and it will be impossible to dig through the entire mountain, and the warehouse will naturally be foolproof. But what if someone falls off a cliff? ”

Guan Feng looked at the cliff in the distance, which stood thousands of feet and was as smooth as a mirror, and was silent for a moment: "Even if your martial arts are agile, it will not be easy to slide down such a high cliff, right?" Once discovered, it is strange that arrows are fired in unison, and it is strange not to shoot into a hedgehog. ”

"Sister, the mountain people have their own tricks." (To be continued......)
