Fang Xie stood on the top of Luomu mountain and looked down on the North all day. From here, you can see the camps of the rebels and their followers. In terms of scale, the Western camp of the rebels is obviously much larger. It has to be said that Meng Wansui chose this place to camp. It is very level. The terrain is very flat and it is a necessary place to travel. Although there is no big city for defense, guarding here is equivalent to strangling the Sui army on langrushan and even the Mongolian Yuan people directly attacking the main road of Xiangzhou.
So long live Meng, just put his men and horses here and don''t take the initiative to attack anyone. It can be seen from this that Li Yuanshan really trusts him, otherwise he will not hand over Xiangzhou to him. Because of this, this person must not be underestimated.
It is about 20 miles away from the rebel Xida camp, which is the Sui army camp. The scale is much smaller, but it is obviously more solemn and orderly. It took two years for these Sui soldiers who survived the disaster to regain their courage and self-confidence. When their number exceeds 40000, it is enough to threaten the rebel rear.
It is said in the art of war that mourning is sure to win.
Yang Kai, king of Xujun, was the backbone of the Sui army. When he died, the Sui army was sad and angry. Under the banner of avenging the king of Xujun, most of Li Xiaozong stood on his side. Even if Mou Liangbi wanted to stop it, he learned that the grief, anger and hatred of the Sui soldiers after the killing of Prince Xu could not be stopped?
At the beginning, the Sui army and the rebels fought more than ten times and won. Although they did not break the enemy camp, they have killed more than 20000 people.
As the stalemate lasted longer and longer, the morale of the Sui army had gradually decreased.
"The brilliance of long live Meng is that he does not seek merit."
Standing beside Fang Xie, sun Kaidao pointed to the rebel camp and said: "Meng Wansui knows that as long as he keeps a firm hold, he will only win and never lose. Not only are the people of Xujun King much inferior to the rebels in terms of military strength, but also they must be short of money in terms of food and grass. If this goes on, I''m afraid the Sui army won''t last long. Meng Wansui will just stand still because he can see it clearly. Let the Sui army call the battle..."
"More than"
Fang Xie looked at the foot of the mountain and said in silence: "The smartest thing about Meng Wansui is that he knows how to keep his opponent... Every once in a while, when the Sui army calls, he sends people out to fight, and then there is no doubt that he will lose. If he loses once, he will be killed by the Sui army, ranging from hundreds to thousands. In this way, the Sui army always thinks that he can easily defeat the rebels and will not leave easily. He is caught by the bait released by Meng Wansui."
"It''s also possible..."
Zhuo Buyi sighed: "as you predicted, Li Xiaozong and Meng Wansui are simply in collusion. The two collude. Just wait for the right opportunity to swallow the tens of thousands of Sui troops in one breath."
"Not yet"
Fang Xie shook his head: "I know something about Li Xiaozong. I know what his temperament is... He is always ready to do things. He is unwilling to be controlled by others, so he left Li Yuanshan to go to the king of Xujun. Nine times out of ten, he proposed to Li Yuanshan to do so. He is too anxious. He hopes Li Yuanshan will win, but he knows that the foundation of the imperial court is not solid Win... For his own sake, he must not disconnect from Li Yuanshan, but also find a way to live in case Li Yuanshan is defeated. "
"It''s the perfect choice to take refuge in Yang Kai, the king of Xujun. If the imperial army is powerful, he will follow the king of Xujun peacefully to fight the rebellion. At that time, even if the merits and demerits outweigh the demerits, it will be enough for him to survive. If Li Yuanshan is powerful, he will sell the king of Xujun. It''s also a great achievement on Li Yuanshan''s side. Speaking of it... Nine times out of ten, the king of Xujun died because of my reminder, Cui Zhongzhen The news sent back to report to the king of Xujun leaked out. "
"But Li Xiaozong will never be willing to work for others. That''s why he will try to control the Sui army by taking advantage of the opportunity to avenge the king of Xujun. He is waiting. If the Imperial Army wins on Hexi Road, he will try his best to bring the Sui army and Meng long live. If the Imperial Army loses on Hexi Road, he will not hesitate to take tens of thousands of soldiers Send the soldiers into the mouth of the tiger. "
"Therefore, for the time being, Li Xiaozong is not willing to bury tens of thousands of people. After all, they are tens of thousands of fierce soldiers who have experienced hundreds of wars and are the basis for settling down."
After Fang explained, sun Kaidao nodded and said, "if so, we still have a chance."
He was silent for a moment and said, "from what we know now, seven or eight out of ten is that general Cui found out what plot Li Xiaozong had, and Li Xiaozong killed people. There are two people who are the key to take the military power back from Li Xiaozong. One is Cui Zhongzhen and the other is Mou Liangbi."
"Now Prince Xu has died, and Li Xiaozong has the greatest prestige in the army. After all, he has led many battles in the past two years. The second is Lord Mou and general Cui. If Li Xiaozong dies, with these two people, the team can still be stable."
"Kill Li Xiaozong and seize the command of the Sui army?"
Zhuo Buyi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "it''s not easy! Besides, even if Li Xiaozong died, those Sui soldiers were convinced by Master Mou and Cui Zhongzhen..."
"If Heaven gives nothing, heaven hates it!"
Sun Kaidao advised, "general, what we need to consider now is not a matter of friendship, but how to gain a foothold in the northwest. To redeem our humble position, the five thousand men and horses under the general are not elite! If the general expects these five thousand men and horses to get credit, it is difficult! If he can get tens of thousands of soldiers, it must be another scene."
Lu Fenghou didn''t like sun''s opening words. He snorted coldly, but Chen moved the mountain and pulled him.
"This is not the time to discuss this."
Fang Xie waved his hand: "first, find a way to rescue general Cui from his cage. It''s best to see Lord Mou."
……
……
Fang Xie personally led a group of people down from the closing curtain mountain and found a secret place to settle down. To enter the Sui army to rescue Cui Zhongzhen, and to enter the camp of Yin broken mountain to steal Wan Yan Yunshu are completely two concepts. Although there were hundreds of thousands of troops in Yan Baoshan''s camp, after all, most of the soldiers were captured people, which could not be compared with the well-trained elite soldiers of the Sui Dynasty.
Now the team under Li Xiaozong can be called the elite of all battles. These Sui soldiers survived the war, but from another point of view, it is because they are strong enough that they can survive in a difficult environment. Even Yang Ziying, which has matured, can''t compare with it.
The two private soldiers of Cui lueshang were able to go in because of luck. And the two of them didn''t dare to ask where Cui Zhongzhen was locked up, so they immediately withdrew when they found a chance. Looking for a man among tens of thousands of troops is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"I have a way!"
Wan Yan Yunshu leaned in front of Fang Xie and said with a smile.
Fang Xie, who was trying to find a way, didn''t care. Well, he continued to look at the movement of the Sui army camp opposite with thousands of miles'' eyes. Wan Yanyun saw that Fang Xie ignored himself and snorted dissatisfied: "do you Han people look down on women like this?"
Fang Xie put his eyes down and shook his head: "the Han people respect women very much."
"Then why don''t you listen to me?"
"Well, you say it."
Fang Xie smiled helplessly.
"Can''t you figure out how to get in?"
"Yes"
"If you think about how to repay me first, I''ll tell you!"
Fang Xie didn''t think she could do anything. She casually said, "if you really have a way, I''ll promise whatever you say."
"Really?"
Wanyan Yunshu said happily, "do you mean what you say?"
Fang Xie said: "nature counts words"
"Well..."
Wan Yan Yunshu pressed close to Fang Xie''s ear and said in a low voice, "in fact, it''s not difficult for you to enter the Sui army camp... You forget that there is someone in the Sui army camp who Li Xiaozong doesn''t dare to offend? As long as this person is willing to help, it''s not difficult to save general Cui."
"Who?"
Fang Xie asked eagerly.
"You really didn''t care about me..."
Wanyan Yunshu''s face suddenly darkened and his tone was wronged.
Fang Xie wanted to persuade, but he didn''t know how to persuade. Speaking of it, Fang Xie really has a headache for this beautiful and generous Princess of northern Liao. It''s just that this woman''s lifestyle is different from that of the Han people, and her way of speaking is also very different from that of the Han people. She can say directly what many Han women are ashamed to die and can''t say. The same behavior as Fang Xie''s hook up friends is not what Han women can do.
As a person with modern thoughts, Fang Xie likes this character very much to tell the truth. But in the Central Plains, Wanyan Yunshu''s character seems out of place with those Han women.
"My brother!"
Seeing Fang Xie''s weakness, Wan Yan Yunshu is unwilling to continue to entangle this topic: "Wan Yan Chongde, the prince of northern Liao, led more than 10000 warriors in the Sui army camp. Didn''t you also say before that Li Xiaozong didn''t dare to kill Cui Zhongzhen because my brother begged for mercy. Our cold riders in northern Liao were brave. Li Xiaozong couldn''t win without my brother''s help. So he didn''t dare offend my brother."
"And I am the princess of Northern Liaoning. If I take my entourage back to the camp to see my brother, do you think Li Xiaozong dares to stop me?"
Wan Yan Yunshu''s temper was cheerful. When it came to excitement, he soon forgot his previous unhappiness.
Fang Xie''s eyes lit up when he heard this sentence!
"This is a good way!"
He clenched Wanyan Yunshu''s hand and said, "I stole it from Yan Baoshan camp. It''s a lucky star!"
Wanyan Yunshu blushed, but he didn''t take back some painful hands held by Fang Xie: "then you should remember to promise me!"
Fang Xie hurriedly said, "remember, I won''t forget."
Wanyan Yunshu has to say something, but Fang Xie has turned back to greet people and is ready to go. Wanyan Yunshu looks at Fang Xie''s back and doesn''t leave from beginning to end. Although she is a little disappointed, there is also a happiness squeezed out from the bottom of her heart, quietly crawling all over her heart.
She is also very happy to help Fang Xie.
Fang Xie discussed with his subordinates. There should not be too many people following Wan Yan Yunshu, nor should he take Chungu with them. After all, the people in the camp were too obvious to recognize that they were not the guards Wan Yan Yunshu had brought before. So he decided to let Zhuo Buyi Chen Xiaoru dress up as Wan Yan Yunshu''s guards with more than a dozen flying fish robes, and Fang Xie and Shen qingfan dress up as her personal bodyguards Sui army camp.
When he was ready, Fang Xie took a deep breath.
Instead of riding red horses, he changed a group of ordinary war horses. Sitting on horseback, he couldn''t help asking Wan Yan Yunshu, "what do you want me to promise?"
Wanyan Yunshu smiled: "when the time comes, I''ll tell you... Maybe soon, maybe never. But I said, if you promise, you''ll never go back."
Fang Xie also smiled: "never say, never regret, do you know how far it is forever?"
Wanyan Yunshu turned his horse and said, "when people in the world swear, they always say forever and forever. It seems that they are always far away. In fact, they are so far away that they can''t see the edge and touch the trace. Never far... It''s a lifetime. The next life is not forever. One year in this life is forever. One hundred years in this life is forever."
