Behind the black desk, Duan Baoxuan's eyes were as deep as the abyss, falling on everyone, and everyone felt a heavy pressure.
Even Qiu Shenji had to bow his head under Duan Baoxuan's gaze.
Finally, Duan Baoxuan looked at the young man with a solemn and respectful expression in the center of the camp, and said calmly: "Our army's attack on Heilong Ridge recently had quite a setback. Even Captain Huaidu was seriously injured. Now that the King of Nanchang is here, , I don’t know what you think?”
"The Commander-in-Chief has made an inquiry. I should have come up with a good plan, but when I first arrived here, I don't know the enemy's shape and the terrain is unfamiliar, so it's hard to come up with a good plan at the moment. I ask the Commander-in-Chief for your forgiveness." Li Xuan handed over his hand very sincerely.
When Li Xuan said this, the atmosphere in the entire tent suddenly condensed.
At this time, Huai Jin on the side, holding his left arm, suddenly asked: "The King of Nanchang must have something unique in defeating tens of thousands of enemies at Meiling Pass. Why don't you tell the generals today? If the prince today How can everyone break through the Black Dragon Ridge?"
Li Xuan slowly turned around, looked at Huai Jin, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said with a half-smile: "If I feel good, the west wind should be picking up in the mountains in the past few days. If I guard the mountain, you'd better Retreat ten miles away, otherwise if you are not careful, it is very likely that the company camp will be burned down and the whole camp will be reduced to ashes."
Li Xuan said one sentence, and everyone present was shocked.
Everyone was about to retort, but suddenly they remembered what Li Xuan had done not long ago in Meiling Pass and Wujiang River, with the help of hurricanes, destroying more than 10,000 Tianyin Sect members, and they didn't know what to say.
Huai Jin's face was a little embarrassed for a moment, and then his expression turned cold, and he said rudely: "The King of Nanchang is a little more confident. All the generals have been in battle for a long time, and the camp layout here has already considered fire prevention; more Besides, there is a creek on the side of the camp, how could it be attacked by fire?"
"Can the camp be protected against fire or smoke?" Li Xuan's gentle words made Huai Jin's pupils tremble.
Li Xuan turned around calmly, looked at Duan Baoxuan, and said with cupped hands: "Many of our army's camp openings are arranged to face the west. When the west wind blows, the smoke will disperse immediately. If we take the opportunity to release poison... Also, our army's camp There are not many gullies and traps inside, and it seems that we have never considered being attacked by enemy troops... Please consider this matter carefully, Governor."
Although it is early autumn now, it is still hot at noon. With the west wind, it is naturally more comfortable if the door faces the west.
But once such a habit is caught by someone who is good at timing, it will definitely be fatal.
"Twenty-seventh Lang has already observed so many things when he first came to Black Dragon Ridge. His eyesight is really sharp. What do you think of Black Dragon Ridge?" Qiu Shenji detoured for a while, but brought the topic back.
After pondering for a while, Li Xuan said cautiously: "The mountains in the Black Dragon Ridge area are towering, with deep ravines and cliffs, thousands of feet of cliffs, and the top of the mountain is covered with gravel. The enemy will be watching. If you want to pass here, it is best to attack the mountain road on the west side. The best strategy is to go around as far as possible."
Having said this, Li Xuan handed over to everyone and said sincerely: "Our army is coming too slowly. If we can capture this place as soon as possible before the enemy troops return for reinforcements, we can defeat them without even attacking the Rebel Headquarters." It will be completely wiped out. If we can attack from both front and back..."
Li Xuan suddenly stopped mid-sentence and looked sideways at Huai Jin.
Li Xuan looked over at this glance. Huai Jin subconsciously followed Li Xuan's words and thought, and quickly fell back in memory.
In the blink of an eye, Huai Jin remembered that earlier when he was at the Muzhou Governor's Mansion, Li Xuan had proposed a direct attack on the Tianyin Sect's main altar.
It's a pity that Huai Jin was deceived by a half-true and half-false official document written by Qiu Shenji.
If we could act according to Li Xuan's suggestion at that time, there would be no difficulties today. ..
Huai Jin couldn't help but look at Qiu Shenji. Qiu Shenji looked over with sharp eyes, and Huai Jin subconsciously squeezed out a flattering smile from the corner of his mouth.
Huai Jin then lowered his head. He felt that Li Xuan's eyes were always on him, and he suddenly felt a wave of embarrassment in his heart.
At this time, a thought that made him feel a little frightened came to his mind.
Could it be that the King of Nanchang had already anticipated today on that day?
"Things from the old days
Don't mention it, just look at today. "Qiu Shenji brought the topic back with one sentence.
He looked at Li Xuan and asked seriously: "The detour is too long-term. Is there any way the King of Nanchang can let us pass through Black Dragon Ridge in a short time?"
Qiu Shenji couldn't help but feel a little impatient in his tone, and a sneer flashed through Li Xuan's heart.
Li Xuan shook his head slightly and looked at everyone with a solemn expression: "Little Wang arrived here for the first time. He doesn't know the enemy or himself, so how can he come up with any strategies to defeat the enemy... On the other hand, you guys, after being here for a few days, haven't you learned yet? Is there any way to defeat the enemy?"
Li Xuan asked rhetorically, leaving everyone present not knowing what to say.
"If we had a plan to defeat the enemy, we wouldn't have to wait here for the King of Nanchang." Huai Jin raised his head and couldn't help but say something to Li Xuan.
Li Xuan immediately looked at Huai Jin with surprise on his face: "What are you talking about, Captain Huai? I was ordered to escort the grain and grass here. How does it have anything to do with defeating the enemy?"
After saying that, Li Xuan immediately turned to look at Duan Baoxuan, cupped his hands and said, "Captain, the enemy situation in Muzhou City has been unstable recently. I have been ordered to appease Muzhou. As this is my duty, it is better for me to return to Muzhou first."
After a disagreement, Li Xuan was about to return to Muzhou immediately, and what he said was well-founded.
Qiu Shenji on the side gave Huai Jin a fierce look, and then looked at Li Xuan: "The King of Nanchang has already said that this attack on Black Dragon Ridge is the common responsibility of all of us. If the King of Nanchang has a good plan, , please make it clear."
"General, you are too polite. I am young and have weak morals. How dare you speak nonsense in front of all the seniors?"
Li Xuan politely handed over his hands again, then looked at everyone and said: "It's not Xiao Wang's broom, but he really doesn't know the enemy or himself. If he makes a mistake in his strategy and affects everyone, it will be Xiao Wang's fault. Please forgive me. .”
What he said was extremely cautious, and he did not give the guys in front of him any chance to put the responsibility on himself.
If you really want to ask for advice, it's not good to ask in private, so in public, no one can tell what these guys are thinking.
Li Xuan's eyes were very bright, as if she could see through people's hearts at a glance.
Everyone present felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
It would be embarrassing for them if they really wanted to talk about this matter now.
They have been a veteran for so many years, and now they want to attack a Black Dragon Ridge. The attack is powerless, and they have to rely on a child under the age of twenty to give advice. If other colleagues know this, they will be ridiculed. die.
Everyone subconsciously looked at Huai Jin and Qiu Shenji, and it was the two of them who asked the King of Nanchang to come here quickly.
Li Xuan instantly captured what happened.
At this time, Duan Baoxuan glanced at Qiu Shenji coldly, and then looked at Li Xuan: "The King of Nanchang can say whatever he wants. I will decide whether he can use it or not."
"Here!" Li Xuan looked at Duan Baoxuan and said in a deep voice: "Captain, the Black Dragon Ridge is a steep mountain. In addition to attacking by force, we can only find ways to find mountain roads that have never been discovered before. Other than that, I can only think of ways in people’s minds.”
"Oh?" Duan Baoxuan finally became serious at this time, looked at Li Xuan with piercing eyes, and asked: "How to find a solution in people's hearts?"
Everyone present looked at Li Xuan at the same time.
"Since we are trying to find a solution based on people's hearts, the fewer people who know about this matter, the better. If more people know about it, this method may not work." Li Xuan cupped her hands at Duan Baoxuan and said, "Please also ask the Governor to withdraw everyone. The subordinate is allowed to speak to the governor alone."
Duan Baoxuan did not hesitate, raised his head, looked at everyone, and solemnly ordered: "Everyone, we need to work together to conquer Black Dragon Ridge this time. You all should go back and think carefully about whether there are any other good strategies... By the way, Lieutenant Huaidu, please renovate the camp so that no one can take advantage of it."
"Here!" Huai Jin cupped his hands in embarrassment, then quietly backed away.
When Qiu Shenji walked to Li Xuan, he just nodded to him, and his eyes immediately fell on Qiu Zhenmu behind Li Xuan.
"Uncle!" Qiu Zhenmu was the first to salute. Regardless of his position, Qiu Shenji was his cousin.
「
Shiro! Qiu Shenji nodded slightly and said, "I heard that you have made great achievements under the command of Twenty-Seventh Lang. I am also very pleased. After returning to Chang'an this time, you can be promoted to Qianniu Colonel. Remember not to make any mistakes before."
"Silang took note of it." Qiu Zhenmu immediately handed over his hand and bowed in thanks.
Qiu Shenji nodded slightly, then turned around and walked out of the tent.
At this time, many people in the tent looked at Qiu Zhenmu.
To be honest, many of them didn't know that Qiu Shenji's nephew actually served under the King of Nanchang.
But think about it, the King of Nanchang once served under Qiu Shenji. If you really talk about it, I am afraid it is much more complicated than imagined.
After walking out of the camp, Qiu Shenji saw Huai Jin standing in front of him in the darkness of the fire.
After nodding goodbye to Xue Qianfeng, the commander of Huangshan Prefecture, Qiu Shenji walked towards Huaijin.
Huai Jin signaled his soldiers to stay away, then looked at Qiu Shenji and asked in a low voice: "Brother Qiu, can the King of Nanchang really have any good ideas?"
Qiu Shenji glanced at Huai Jin and asked directly: "Can you think of a way to capture Black Dragon Ridge within three days?"
"Brother Qiu, if we have 5,000 soldiers and horses under our command, I guarantee that we can capture Black Dragon Ridge in one night. But you and I only have more than 2,000 soldiers in total... A clever woman cannot make a meal without rice!" Huai Jin looked helpless.
Although they have brought over most of the Kuaiji Prefecture soldiers this time, the Hangzhou soldiers, Yuezhou soldiers, and Taizhou soldiers each came with less than 300 soldiers. The Wuzhou soldiers under Li Xuan, He is only responsible for guarding Muzhou City.
Originally I expected Qiu Shenji to bring more people, but I never expected that after a fierce fight, Huangshan Prefecture's soldiers could only mobilize 500 soldiers.
The total number of all the soldiers in the government is far less than 3,000, and they still want to capture Black Dragon Ridge within three days. How is this possible?
The danger of Black Dragon Ridge is not only that it is easy to defend but difficult to attack, but more importantly, once they try to divide their troops to bypass the rear, as long as a soldier and horse are sent out from Black Dragon Ridge, they can immediately reach the street and cut off their attack. retreat.
"Just because you can't, doesn't mean others can't either." Qiu Shenji subconsciously looked back into the tent and said softly, "Actually, what I'm most worried about today is that the King of Nanchang won't come."
"Huh?" Huai Jin looked surprised.
"The King of Nanchang has been cautious since he was a child. He never does anything unprepared. If he doesn't come, it means he is not absolutely sure. But once he comes, it means he is certain. We just need to be patient. Just wait." Qiu Shenji has great confidence in Li Xuan.
"Is it so powerful?" Huai Jin still felt a little incredible.
"In recent years, he has changed so much that even I feel unfamiliar. For example, in the battle of Meiling Pass, even though you and I are equally sure of holding Meiling Pass, after the battle, our soldiers , I’m afraid there won’t be much left.”
Qiu Shenji sighed lightly, walked forward quickly, and said at the same time: "As soon as he appeared today, I knew that the attack on Black Dragon Ridge was just around the corner."
"That's it." Huai Jin suddenly understood everything.
Looking back, Huai Jin glanced at the big account.
He was really curious about what good suggestions Li Xuan could come up with.
