Chapter 466 The Original Plan

When Wang Dechen attacked Qisheng Gate of Diaoyu City, a Mongolian cowardly army named "Mulahu" was ordered to go to the West Camp.

Mu Lahu first met Wang Zhongchen, Wang Dechen's brother, Marshal of Gongchang.

When he heard that Li Tingyu had returned, he saw Li Tingyu again.

"Kulanji, you are back in camp, why don't you go to see the Great Khan?"

"The last general handed over the battle report, but there is no reply." Li Tingyu spoke Mongolian very fluently, and said: "I thought the sweat had rested, so I dare not ask to see him."

He showed a respectful look in front of Mu Lahu.

The Qixue army is the Suwei of the Great Khan of Mongolia, and even the status of ordinary soldiers is higher than that of ordinary officials of thousands of households.

Mu La suddenly laughed, and said: "No, Da Khan is concerned about the night attack on Qisheng Gate, and is still waiting for the result."

"Then let's report this to Liyi Mountain City." Li Tingyu said: "By the way, Shi Ji, the governor of the capital of Zhending Mansion, has led his troops. Do you want to take him with you?"

"Shi Ji?"

Mu La suddenly asked back, but laughed, and said, "He actually came to follow the conquest? A few years ago, when Da Khan received Shi Ji, I was by the side."

When he said this, he unconsciously shook his hand.

This is a small gesture of weighing gold.

Li Tingyu then understood that Mu Lahu had received a lot of benefits from Shi Ji.

"At the end of the day, I will send someone to invite Director Shi."

"I'll invite you." Mu Lahu said carelessly.

Regardless of the heavy rain, he walked straight out of the tent, turned over, and got on the horse lightly and deftly.

Li Tingyu quickly greeted the soldiers, and went to the Zhending army camp together with Mu Lahu.

As the guard of the Great Khan, Mu Lahu not only had a burly figure and a majestic appearance, but also had good knowledge. He talked while riding a horse.

"Shi Ji is very smart. I remember it very deeply. The Great Khan gave him the Golden Tiger Talisman to let him rule the country. He said, 'The power of the soldiers and the people cannot be combined with one person. Please divide the power of the generals by the Great Khan. Beginning', because of this, the Great Khan liked him very much."

Li Tingyu responded with a smile, but suddenly became suspicious.

When he got along with Shi Ji in the past few days, he was obviously dull and reticent, and it was difficult to connect with the Shi Ji described by Mu Lahu.

Li Tingyu looked at the rain curtain, and finally felt something was wrong...

He also thought that heavy rain was expected early this morning, and he suggested marching a day later.But Shi Zhang insisted on hurrying, so he hurriedly arrived at Daying in the night rain.

Li Tingyu originally thought that Shi Zhang was in a hurry to go to Nanying, so that he could meet the historians earlier.

But when he actually arrived at Diaoyu City, Shi Zhang preferred to camp in the West Camp, as if deliberately avoiding the South Camp.

Why?
Thinking about this, I have arrived at the camp of the Zhending Army.

Each of the Zhending sergeants turned their heads to look, with vigilance in their eyes...

Li Tingyu suddenly thought of Shi Shu's death again, and with a thought, he quickly grabbed Mu Lahu's horse rope.

But Mu Lahu shouted loudly: "Shi Ji, haha, why don't you leave the tent to welcome your old friend?!"

He yelled loudly in Mongolian.

Soon, someone in the tent responded in fluent Mongolian: "Which general is here?"

"It's not the general. The wooden sword of the Onon River came suddenly. Do you still remember the gold you gave me? I'm here to invite you to see the Great Khan."

"So it's General Mulahu..."

Li Tingyu breathed a sigh of relief as these Mongolian answers fell into his ears, thinking that he was overthinking.

How could Mr. Historian's knowledge and experience be false?

At this moment, someone lifted the curtain from the front tent.

At the same time, Mu La suddenly shouted: "You..."

"despair!"

Crossbow bolts shot.

"puff!"

Before Mu La could finish his sentence, a ball of plasma gushed out from his throat and was washed down with the heavy rain.

The body of this mighty cowardly Xue Jun has been smashed off the horse.

Li Tingyu's eyes widened suddenly.

"killed!"

"Puff puff……"

All of the Zhending troops suddenly raised their crossbows and shot randomly at Li Tingyu and the accompanying soldiers behind him.

"Enemy attack!" Li Tingyu yelled with eyes wide open.

He turned his horse's head and started to leave.

"Hurry up! Ming Di Bao..."

"Buck!"

The war horse had been shot by two crossbow arrows, neighing, and threw Li Tingyu off the horse.

He rolled on the spot, trying to pull out the knife at his waist.

Several Zhending sergeants rushed forward.

"Feiyu, leave him to persuade him to surrender..."

"killed!"

Suddenly there was another call.

Li Tingyu hastily turned his head to look...

"puff!"

With a single slash, Li Tingyu's eyes darkened, and the final scene was Shi Zhang yelling and holding the sword to come forward...

The head rolled and fell.

~~
"Check carefully, no one is allowed to be left alive, and no one is allowed to report the letter!"

"Everyone assemble immediately, act fast!"

"Put the red cloth on the armor, unsheath the knife, and string the arrow. If you see the Mongolian army, shoot immediately, don't hesitate!"

Li Xia no longer continued to pretend to be Shi Zhang, strode between the camps and gave orders.

His demeanor changed drastically in an instant.

Sharper and more imposing.

"Lin Zi, Ma Jiu, Qiu Shou, those who lead you, are ready to attack Wang Zhongchen with me!"

"Yes!"

"Wang Yixin, if you lead people to startle the horses of the Mongolian army, you must disrupt the entire camp!"

"Yes……"

Footsteps sounded in the night, and more than a thousand people lined up very quickly.

It took Li Xia several days to select them from nearly ten thousand Song troops. All of them were experienced veterans, and they were tall and energetic.

More than a hundred of them were very familiar with the terrain, and as guides, they crossed the Jialing River and drove their horses northward along the longitudinal Huaying Mountains.

In twelve days, they marched for more than [-] miles in the barren mountains and ridges, opened roads when encountering mountains, and built bridges when encountering waters, until they reached the Tongchuan River Canyon.

The Tongchuan River is called the Zhou River in later generations. It flows from the northeast of the Daba Mountains to the Qujiang River. It is also the only place that divides the Huaying Mountains.

The important town guarding this place is Liyi Mountain City in Quzhou, which has fallen into the hands of the Mongolian army.

As Li Tingyu said, it is impossible for the Song army to cross Huaying Mountain to Quzhou.

However, the Mongolian army was able to pass through Liyi Mountain City in an open manner.

So Li Xia asked them to pretend to be Shi Ji's troops.

Soldiers, flags, armor, weapons, and horses were all seized from Shi Shu, and only some of them were slightly forged.

If he only faces Li Tingyu in Liyi Mountain City, Li Xia is confident that he can hide it, which is something he is quite good at.

But when they arrived at the Mongolian camp, anyone might have seen Shi Ji before, and could see through this disguise at a glance.

Li Xia took advantage of the heavy rain to deliberately slow down Li Tingyu's marching speed, and entered Wang Dechen's camp at night.

Knowing that he couldn't hide it for too long, he planned to shoot Wang Dechen to death as soon as he saw him.

Unexpectedly, Wang Dechen was also taking advantage of the heavy rain to prepare for a surprise attack, and did not see "Shi Ji".

This is a better situation for Li Xia, he can more calmly disrupt the Mongolian army and go to Diaoyu City.

……

Nie Zhongyou saw a new opportunity this night.

Not only did Wang Decheng fail to discover his disguise, but Meng Ge also sent someone to summon "Shi Ji".

This was far smoother than Nie Zhongyou expected.

He walked up to Mu Lahu's body, and stretched out his hand to peel off the opponent's armor.

Suddenly, Li Xia picked him up and said, "There's no need to strip him, I'm going to attack the camp and go up the mountain."

"Listen to me." Nie Zhongyou said: "I can pretend to be this Mongolian pawn, enter the Shizishan camp with his token, and assassinate Brother Meng."

"Impossible to succeed." Li Xia resolutely refused, saying: "Do you know how many guards Mengge Dahan has? It is impossible to let a stranger get close."

"I understand, but I'll try..."

"I don't have time to waste time on this kind of thing that I know is impossible." Li Xia spoke quickly, "There is a key to pretending to be an enemy army. You must act before the opponent becomes suspicious."

He dragged Nie Zhongyou along and walked quickly, his tone gradually becoming stricter.

"It's just like Li Tingyu. Although he is a Mongolian general, he has studied Confucianism since he was a child. I talked with him recently and learned that he once pleaded for Yang Dayuan in front of Mengge, and advocated appease the people and treat people well. Such a person is If I can capture the person I can win over in the future, there will be many benefits."

Having said that, Li Xia changed the subject and said again: "But just now, if there is any hesitation in this situation, let Li Tingyu rush out of the encirclement, as long as he shouts, we and these more than a thousand soldiers will undoubtedly die."

This is the danger of venturing into the enemy's camp.

It will be exposed at any time, and it will die at any time.

The most taboo is greed.

Li Xia knew very well that the time was only a few hours before entering the camp on a rainy night.

As for the assassination of Meng Ge, it is impossible at all, and he has no such plan at present.

He said before, "If it really doesn't work, I'll assassinate Meng Ge."

This is him listing the worst possible possibilities.

However, this sentence lingered in Nie Zhongyou's ears, and he directly ignored the previous "if it is not possible".

Therefore, Li Xia seldom jokes, and usually talks as little as possible, not because he is boring, but because he has to do big things, and every sentence that may be misunderstood is very troublesome.

Speaking of the present, for Li Xia, the situation has not yet reached the point where it is "really impossible".

Since Meng Ge will die in history, he intends to find out the reason and grasp this trend with his own hands.

The answer is most likely hidden in Diaoyu City.

For this reason, Li Xia dared to take a huge risk.

But the possibility of successfully assassinating Meng Ge is extremely slim, and he will never come back alive.

In Li Xia's eyes, his life is more valuable than Brother Meng.

He whispered: "We take risks to fight for life, not to die. Please tell me the difference."

Nie Zhongyou said: "I understand, you continue with your original plan, but let me try."

He said, but smiled, and his eyes were determined.

"I'm going to assassinate Brother Meng, what if it happens? If we want to win this war, we must have people who dare to die, and we must have the determination to go on despite tens of thousands of people, right?"

Nie Zhongyou wanted to say something more, but he couldn't say a word.

Finally, he recited the poem Cheng Yuanfeng gave him back then.

"There is no way to go to the corpse mountain, but there is no way to look at the blood sea... I am a pawn crossing the river, and it is not a pity to die."

Nie Zhongyou has not yet become a general.

But his ambition has not changed, he is still willing to shed the blood of the river pawns, and guard the territory behind him...

Li Xia finally stopped and took a deep look at Nie Zhongyou.

For a while, he also thought a lot.

This time I came to grasp the direction, but what is the direction?Maybe it was a soldier of the Song army who wanted to kill Meng Ge desperately?

And since he came, do you want to stop him?Because it feels impossible?But how high is the possibility that Meng Ge will die?
This thought flashed, and Li Xia was a little moved.

It was rare for him to feel that he couldn't grasp the balance between blood and calm.

"Let me go." Nie Zhongyou said again.

Li Xia spoke with a restrained tone.

"Continue to follow my plan. You said you sold me your life."

He's trying to stay calm...
