If possible, it is best to lure the Black Dragon Society out when entering the Huishan Mountains. After all, once entering the mountains, the enemy will be in the dark and we will be in the light, and the danger will be greatly increased.
The idea of luring opponents into the open, gathering them together and annihilating them is a good idea, but how to implement it?
The people of the Black Dragon Society are not fools, so how can I let them be fooled?
Just when Ye Mingsheng was lying on the straw mat, thinking about it and couldn't think of any good solution, Ye Dong came in and reported: "Master, Lu Wangzhen sent someone over, Mr. Wang asked you to go and check it out! "
"I see!"
Hearing that someone was coming from Luwang Town, Ye Mingsheng immediately nodded, stood up and walked out of the camp. He took the road to Luwang Town. In addition to the smooth and safe road to Luwang Town, he also had another purpose. That is to start from Luwang Town, replenish supplies and find a guide who is familiar with Huishan Mountain Road.
Luwang Town is the largest town within a hundred miles of the Huishan Mountains. Only here can Ye Mingsheng's tribe obtain sufficient supplies.
Once they enter the Huishan Mountains and walk on the mountain road, their marching speed will be greatly reduced. Even if they are not in danger, it will take seven to ten days to walk out of the Huishan Mountains and reach Danjiang County is adjacent to the Great Zhou Dynasty, and in the vast mountains of Huishan Mountains, there is no place for them to replenish supplies.
Therefore, this also means that Luwang Town is very important to Ye Mingsheng. He wants to get supplies from here to support their ten-day march.
Walking to the outpost where Wang Xian was, Ye Mingsheng discovered that besides him and Wang Xian, Chen Yannian and Lin Huaiwu had already arrived.
"Sir!" The three sentry commanders all saluted Ye Mingsheng with their hands raised.
Ye Mingsheng nodded, indicating that he had seen the ceremony, and then turned his attention to the little old man in the tent who was wearing a palace robe, a bamboo hat, and a cane, with a respectful expression.
Seeing this high-ranking official of Da Zhou looking at him, the little old man quickly said: "General Da Zhou, my name is Pu Lexi, and I am the envoy sent by General Pu Anshun, the general of King Lu Town!"
After saying this, Pu Lexi, an old man who looked to be in his fifties or sixties, knelt down.
"Get up, you general, why do you want to come to me?" Ye Mingsheng asked lightly:
Pu Lexi stood up slowly with a cane. Hearing Ye Mingsheng's inquiry, Pu Lexi said quickly: "General Pu Anshun has surrendered a long time ago. I wonder why the Great Zhou Heavenly Army came this time? Can our small town help? What are you busy with?"
Seeing this little old man named "Pu Lexi" from Gongdu, who was so straight to the point and not secretive at all, Ye Mingsheng looked at him with interest and then said:
"Our troops were ordered to return to the Great Zhou Dynasty and pass through King Lu Town. According to the alliance between your palace capital and our Great Zhou Dynasty, our Great Zhou army will operate on the land of the palace capital, and you are obliged to provide us with food and grass supplies!"
"Therefore, I only have two things to do when I go to your town, King Lu, and that is to replenish supplies and find a guide who is familiar with the Huishan Mountain Road! You go back and tell your town general to prepare the guide and sixty stones of food and grass for me! "
As soon as Ye Mingsheng said this, Pu Lexi's already old face became even more sad. He looked at Ye Mingsheng and begged, "General, it's easy to talk about guides. There are many people in the town who are familiar with Huishan Mountain Road."
"But our town, Prince Lu, only has 3,000 people including the old, young, women, and children. How can we have sixty shi of food and grass... I hope General, please do me a favor and take pity on us!"
As he spoke, the little old man Pu Lexi wanted to kneel down again, but this time Ye Mingsheng did not show any compassion.
There is no non-staple food in his team to supply the soldiers. Therefore, if the soldiers want to be full, they can only eat grain. At least one pound of grain per person per day is required to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army. Seven hundred men per day That’s seven hundred pounds and six stones!
Asking Luwang Town for sixty stones is already the most basic requirement. If it cannot be guaranteed, then entering the Huishan Mountains, Ye Mingsheng's 700 forbidden soldiers will run the risk of not having enough to eat. At that time, it was difficult for Ye Mingsheng to lead this team!
In addition, although Pu Lexi looks very pitiful and cries about poverty, according to Ye Mingsheng's understanding, Luwang Town is a relatively wealthy town in Huishan County. It may not be possible to get 100 dan of food, but it can cost 60 dan of food. Come out, that's definitely more than enough!
"I only want so much. As for how to get it, that's your business. You go back and tell your town general that he'd better be honest and give me sixty shi of grain. Don't let me do it. I If we do it, it won’t be as simple as sixty stones of grain..." Ye Mingsheng threatened coldly:
After speaking, Ye Mingsheng ignored Pu Lexi, who was kneeling on the ground with a sad face. He wanted to say something, so he waved his hand, and Ye Dong and Ye Kui, who were following him, just said two words. Without saying anything, he pulled Pu Lexi up from the ground and carried him out of the tent.
With Pu Lexi's departure, only four military attaches from the team, Ye Mingsheng, Chen Yannian, Wang Xian and Lin Huaiwu, were left in Wang Xian's outpost camp.
After looking around at the three sentry commanders under his command, Ye Mingsheng pondered for a moment and decided to tell these three people about the crisis the team was facing. Now he really can't think of any way to lure the Black Dragon Society out of the darkness.
As the saying goes, "Three cobblers are as good as Zhuge Liang!" What's more, the three captains under him are all battle-hardened men, with abilities a hundred times greater than those of the cobblers, so now is the time to work together!
"Three of you, the scouts found a spy within fifteen miles nearby. We should have been targeted!" As a result of his thoughts, Ye Mingsheng no longer hesitated and reported the situation to his three officers. A subordinate.
As soon as Ye Mingsheng said this, the faces of Wang Xian and Lin Huaiwu, who were sitting under Chen Yannian, all darkened. Only the mature and steady Chen Yannian still looked calm without any change.
After looking at it, the expressions of the three people changed. Ye Mingsheng continued with some pity: "After the scout discovered this spy, he wanted to capture him for interrogation, but this spy was very fierce and chose to commit suicide after being severely injured. At present, We can only be sure that he is a Japanese!"
When they heard Ye Mingsheng say that the other party was a "Japanese", not only Wang and Lin looked surprised, but so did Chen Yannian.
