"I can't understand our boss more and more."

In the afternoon, in the shade of the trees, Gao Du took the dry food and stuffed it into his mouth while talking to Guo Zhan beside him.

After swallowing three times five times two, Gao Du continued: "How about moving forward smoothly, without wind and waves? You have to find the location of the bandit and kill him proactively. Let's not talk about the number of people on the other side.

How to set up camp, what are the characteristics of us individuals, how to form an array, how to cooperate, we have not yet made it clear."

As he spoke, he actually sighed.

Guo Zhan didn't take a bite of the dry food in his hand. He also frowned, but his face was more confused than worried. Hearing this, he asked: "Will Marquis Dingxiang do something for no reason?"

Gao Du was stunned for a moment, recalled for a moment, shook his head and said: "I have never seen him before, but I always feel that this Marquis thinks twice before doing anything, and he always looks at ten steps before he takes a step."

"That's right," Guo Zhan nodded and said with a solemn expression, "A person who has deep intentions in every step will not change his mind easily. Maybe Dingxiang Marquis had such a plan when he left Chang'an this time.

"

"But what good will this do to him?" Gao Du became more and more puzzled.

Guo Zhan couldn't give any answer to this, but then he noticed that Gao Du's eyes were wrong.

"If you don't want to eat this dry food, why not give it to me." Gao Du suddenly said.

Guo Zhan immediately refused and then swallowed heavily.

Just as he was finishing his meal, news suddenly came from over there that the Marquis of Dingxiang had summoned him to discuss something.

"The purpose of summoning us at this time must be to explain how we will attack later." Gao Du jumped up, "I am very curious as to who the Marquis will entrust to command this battle. After all, the leader of the guards

Zhao Yucai is not good at battlefield management. Could it be that the Marquis is actually commanding it himself? I’m afraid it’s hard to convince the public. After all, military battles on the battlefield are different from officialdom maneuvers.”

While the two were talking, they left the shade of the author just now.

This is a forest, quite dense, and not far away there are many people gathered, front and back, at least forty or fifty people, surrounding a carriage.

Li Huai and others were standing in front of the carriage.

Seeing Guo Zhan and Gao Du coming over, Li Huai said hello, "The most important thing in this fight is to work together to break the momentum of the rebel army, and then you can win."

Hearing this, Zhao Yucai, the leader of the guards, couldn't help but said: "General, I have just investigated and reported that the bandit army only has a few hundred people. They are still camping on the mountain. Some people are patrolling, but they don't know how to march. But if they fight back, we will wait for them."

It may not be possible to break through.”

Before that, the leader of the guards tried to persuade Li Huaizhi several times, but he couldn't persuade him to change his mind.

"Don't worry, I know it well." Li Huai nodded solemnly and said this, "I am fully prepared for this plan, and I must win it in one fell swoop!" Yes, he failed three times before.

That's right, at the moment, Li Huai has gone back three times when facing this small village.

Three times.

The second time, he was stabbed, and the blood flowed out, staining a large area of ​​soil red.

Bloody lessons led to this action.

"I have just climbed up the hill next to it and observed the inside. The cottage looks solid, but in fact it has many flaws. Moreover, once we defeat their main force head-on, the cottage can actually be used as a boost to block their escape.

!”

Hearing this, Zhao Yu glanced at Qi Kai, and both of them showed hidden bitter smiles. They felt that although the Marquis of Dingxiang was a general, he had never really experienced a battle, so he took it for granted.

Is it so easy to do?

Not to mention, these people are not here for attack, but more for defense and protection. If they are really placed on the battlefield, they can rely on the military formation to remain unbreakable and protect Li Huai and others to retreat slowly.

This is the limit, where can we still hunt down deserters?

Qi Kai from the Ministry of Rites hesitated for a moment and then said: "Master Marquis, after all, we are still a mission. If we do this, it will delay the official business..."

"Don't worry, it's just a rogue bandit. It won't take much time. Besides, this matter is already part of my plan. If you want to gain something from this trip, this trip is essential!"

Having said this, Li Huai looked at everyone with a serious expression.

"Since we are taking action, it is to suppress the bandits, so we should leave no further trouble," he paused, "I have already sent Li Qing out. When I give the order later, the gate of the village will be opened, and they will be there."

There are ambushes of archers on both sides of the city wall, but those people don’t have many bows and arrows, so don’t worry too much, but there may be an ambush later, so you should go around like this, uh, from what you just saw from the distance of the enemy formation..."

After a few words to suppress everyone's words, Li Huai started to divide the group, which was very serious, and the other people were surprised and confused.

"Gao Du, you are very skilled. I have a task for you later. And Guo Zhan, you take a few people here. There are a few thieves ambushing there. I think it's to be on guard, and secondly.

As a foreign aid, yes, from a distance, according to the thieves, there may be a lot of looted money. Don't worry, I have read the military literature. Generally, the manpower deployed in this way will not be too radical. If you don't

Therefore, we set up a suspicious formation, separated two people with horses, helped the branches and leaves, raised dust, and caused the army to overwhelm the territory, so... and so..."

Guo Zhan couldn't help but said in the end: "We don't have many people, so if we spread out a few people..."

"I have already said that the rebel army looks like deserted soldiers, but in fact it is holding the refugees hostage." At this point, Li Huai paused slightly, realizing that there was a suspicion in his words, and added, "This is all just now

Judging from the distance, in short, this group of people is probably no more than sixty who can really fight, and with the scattered guards, as long as we pass through this road, we can kill them by surprise!"

What? Why do I know there is such a hidden path?

Needless to say? Of course it was from observing the enemy’s formation from a distance!

"Okay! Everyone understands, right?" Li Huai clapped his hands and focused everyone's attention, "Now that we understand our responsibilities, it's time to set off. We've been waiting here for a while. I think the thieves also have spies.

We should come over in a while, yes, I saw some signs of the enemy from a distance."

As he spoke, he looked at the leader of the guards.

"Zhao Yucai, you go over first and tell the guards that they also have complaints and are not convinced by me, Mr. Li, at least in terms of commanding the battle. However, they need to be informed that if they are careless in this battle, they will be injured.

It’s themself!”

Just as Li Huai said, the elite soldiers responsible for guarding him were more or less disapproving of them. Looking back to the past, they had done something bad because of this, so of course he had to remind them.

So when Zhao Yucai came over with the order, many of the soldiers curled their lips.

"The Marquis of Dingxiang may be a good planner, but leading troops to attack is not as simple as he thought."

"I was still observing the enemy formation from a distance. At this glance, even the veteran soldiers did not dare to be sure at will. He is good at it and even distributed it. If one of them is not good and there is a deviation, it will be fatal."

"So what if we are worried? He is a popular person in front of the officials, so we have no choice but to take orders, alas."

Hearing the complaints from his subordinates, Zhao Yucai's face was a little ugly, but he had to say: "Your Majesty and the Prime Minister have said that everything is decided by the Marquis and cannot be disobeyed! Now that we have received the order, we cannot delay it.

Jun, get ready!"

After saying this, he saw everyone's expressions and added: "However, you don't have to worry. Regarding today's matter, Qi Jun and Liu Jun have written letters and sent them to Chang'an. I think there will be a response soon!"
