Chapter 214 Schedule

Early the next morning, Liu Jing quietly took a boat to the north to inspect the terrain without disturbing the outside world.

As the war was imminent, all the generals were busy purge their troops and repair their armour, so only Liu Zong and Liu Xiu went with them.

The two are not only Liu Jing's clan brothers, but also the infantry and navy commanders appointed by Liu Jing, so they must find out the situation in advance.

The location Liu Jing chose was about eighty or ninety miles north of Ling County, and it could be reached in a day by boat along the river.

This place has gone beyond the county boundary of Ling County, but it is still forty or fifty miles away from Hengshan Township. In eight words, it can be summed up as "the wilderness, wild mountains, uninhabited."

It was already evening when the fleet arrived, but unfortunately it was raining again, so Liu Jing had to temporarily suppress his thoughts and spend the night on the boat. The rain continued to fall the next day and did not stop until noon.

Standing on the deck, Liu Jing looked at the leaden-gray sticky clouds in the sky, and couldn't help frowning. The wet and rainy weather in Changsha gave him a headache. He only hoped that the day of the war would have a good weather, otherwise he would definitely fight against him. One's own combat caused no small impact.

Liu Jing turned over and stepped on Chiji's back, which was bright red like a flame. Since he became the magistrate of Ling County, in order to maintain his majesty, he usually travels by car.

However, he did not forget to hone his riding skills. After all, this is the foundation of his life in troubled times. He often changes clothes and travels on horseback.

When the battalion was set up in Ling County, every time Liu Jing visited the barracks, he would abandon his cart and ride a horse.

Therefore, for more than three years, his riding skills have been improving. According to Liu Jing's own estimation, although his riding skills are not as good as Liu Zong, who is proficient in riding and shooting, he is barely in Jingnan area, which has always been short of horses. It's also outstanding.

Liu Jing kicked the horse's belly lightly, and under the guard of Liu Zong, Liu Xiu, and a dozen armored cavalry, he began to inspect the terrain on both sides of the Xiangshui River.

In the next two days, Liu Jing, Liu Zong, and Liu Xiu rode horses all over the area for tens of miles, and finally the three of them set up an ambush position together.

Compared with the location Liu Jing had chosen before, this place is slightly northerly. On the north bank of the Xiangshui River, there is a green peak mountain with a height of nearly a hundred feet. The terrain is dangerous. On the south bank of the Xiangshui River, there is a hilly area with dense forests. Qing.

Both places are very suitable for setting up ambushes. As soon as Liu Jing, Liu Zong, and Liu Xiu came here, they decided to set up the battlefield here.

In addition, the Xiangshui River in this short period of tens of miles twists and turns four times, and the Jingzhou navy will be torn apart immediately when passing through here.

Ten miles to the north of the ambush site, there is Laishui, a tributary of the Xiangshui River. Liu Zong suggested that Liu Jing hide dozens of light boats in Laishui, loaded with firewood ointment, and wait until the Jingzhou navy fell into an ambush. , Waiting for the opportunity to order the light boat to launch a fire attack, surprise the rear army, causing chaos.

Liu Jing thought that Liu Zong's strategy was good. His original plan was to destroy his front army and destroy his central army, while the rear army hoped that the complicated terrain would hinder his help, but this idea was a bit too wishful thinking.If Liu Zong's strategy is adopted, the rear army will not have time to support the front army and the middle army for at least a short period of time, so that they can deal with the enemy more calmly.

The premise is, don't let it rain heavily, and when it rains heavily, naturally everything will stop.

After deciding on the location of the ambush, Liu Jing didn't stay long, and immediately returned to Ling County by boat.

…………

Hengshan, Shanjiazhai.

The new Shanjiazhai was rebuilt on the old site, which may be related to the influence of the Han family culture on Shan Ridun. The new buildings in the village, the houses are arranged in a row, and they are well arranged, which is quite like the style of the Guoli Lane in the Han Dynasty. .

In the depths of the village, in a building built along the mountain, in a building with heavy halls and high pavilions, Shan Riyi wears an otter fur hat on his head, a big gold ring on his ears, and a tunic robe, but he is no longer the traditional five colors of Jingman, It is a blue color that is more in line with the aesthetics of the Han people.

Shan Ri sat cross-legged on a couch, looking at Liu Jing's handwritten letter.

There were no less than 20 people sitting at the banquet in the hall, but they were all silent, and the majesty of the single day was evident from this.

Shan Riyi is indeed a legendary figure among the Hengshan Jingman. He was able to shoot tigers when he was a boy, and he was talked about by people.

Later, his family's cottage was besieged by six surrounding barbarian villages and was wiped out. He led his younger brother and a dozen of his tribe members to fight out of the siege.

Half a year later, when people gradually forgot about him, he led thousands of warriors back to Mount Heng, and wiped out six villages in a row. None of the former enemies slipped through the net, and they were all beheaded by him.At that time, he was only 20 years old.Now it has become the most powerful force in the surrounding area.

Even the oldest old Jing barbarians in Hengshan can't find a young man who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Shan Riyi.

"Liu Jun is really good at predicting things...!" Dan Riqian couldn't help but sigh after reading the letter.At the beginning, Liu Jing told him that the calm situation in Jingnan would not last long, and within a year or two, war would break out in Jingnan.After completing revenge in a single day, integrate the barbarian villages around Hengshan as soon as possible, waiting for his call.

Everything is as it says.

"Come, come... finally here!" Shan Ri's heart, which had been silent for a long time, couldn't help becoming excited. He read Han books since he was a child, and his vision is different from that of Jingman, and he has seen the wonderful world outside. Now Being in Hengshan is like being trapped in a cage.

Even if he is now at the top of Hengshan Jingman, in his opinion, that is just a bigger frog at the bottom of the well.

He wants to get out of the cage, he wants to cross the Han soil, he wants to make meritorious deeds, he wants to be a Han...just like Kim Il-dun.There was a gleam in the single day's eyes.

It had been a long, long time since Shan Qin had seen his brother's excited expression, and he could only find one or two examples from his childhood memories.Immediately couldn't help asking: "Brother, what did Liu Junxin tell you?"

Shan Ri raised his head, looked at his dark-skinned, lean and fierce-faced younger brother, and replied: "There are thieves who want to attack Liu Jun, and Liu Jun wrote to invite me to come out of the mountain and join hands to kill the enemy."

Shan Qin asked: "Is it the Jingzhou army?" Even though they lived in the depths of Mount Heng, the news was not blocked, especially Shan Riqi was very concerned about the situation in Changsha.It is said that the Jingzhou Army has 10 people. This number is too scary. The entire Hengshan Jingman can't make up [-] people.

"Yes." Shan Rifeng nodded and said, "If it weren't for such a powerful opponent, Mr. Liu would be able to deal with it by himself, why would he write to me?"

Shan Qin couldn't express the worries in his heart, because he knew very well that without Liu Jing, their brothers would not be where they are today.

After all, Shan Qin was only 16 years old, and he was like a city mansion. Shan Riqian saw through his brother's heart at a glance, and said with a smile: "Brother, why worry about this, don't you know Liu Jun's ability? Everything in this world is in his hands." In mastery, no one can beat him."
