"Old man, can you take us to the edge of the water to have a look?"

Feng Xiaoci waved his hand, and Cui Zhi immediately took out a handful of scattered silver and stuffed it into the old man's hand: "Our proprietor likes to make friends with heroes the most, don't worry, we are definitely not from the imperial court, the proprietor and Mr. The head of the family, Gao Shida, also has friendship."

"Really?"

The old man asked doubtfully.

Feng Xiaoci said with a smile: "A few days ago, Gao Jibo was having a drink with the head of Gao Da, and it was from him that I learned that Ju Yeze has changed his head. So I couldn't hold back my curiosity for a while, so I started from They came all the way to the north of the Yellow River. They didn’t want to see the head of the Li family, but just wanted to see the world-renowned Juyeze Yanyun Village. It’s a wish.”

"You are so weird!"

The old man stuffed back the money that Cui Zhi handed over and said: "I don't need it if you give me it. The world is in chaos and I don't travel far. I have a field at home and I can make new wine by myself. If I'm hungry, I'll go catch a fat fish. Wine, what is the use of money?"

"quick!"

Feng Xiaoci ordered: "Bring me that pot of old wine that I still can't bear to drink."

The attendant quickly untied the jug hanging on the side of the horse and handed it to the old man. The old man opened it and smelled it, then sighed: "It really is quite old, it smells good!"

He glanced at Feng Xiaoci and said: "However, I can't take you into the water today. Recently, the good man from Yanyun Village came down the mountain and gave orders to hide all the fishing boats. Even if you enter the water, you can't go near the village, or you will be shot with random arrows. For the sake of giving me this pot of old wine, I promised you, I will pack up the fishing boat tonight, and you will come to this village and wait for me in the morning."

Feng Xiaoci thanked him a few words and got up to leave.

He took Cui Zhi and others on horseback, pointed to the distance and said: "Come on, let's go over there and have a look."

Cui Zhi said with a smile: "We are really lucky, what is lacking will come, no one knows the waterway, and a guide will be sent to the door immediately."

But Liu Shibao said: "I think the old man's words are flickering, and he doesn't seem to be telling the truth."

Just remembering what the old man scolded him before, Liu Shibao became annoyed for a while.I said in my heart that in this poor land, even an old thing is so rough.

"Idiot, stupid, stupid fool!"

The old man looked at the backs of Feng Xiaoci and others leaving with a sneer and scolded: "You think I can't see that you are spies from the army? You think you are good at clichés, you are so fucking stupid."

He turned around and shouted: "You little bastard, come here, and I will go into the mountains with you!"

A young strong man ran over and said with a smile, "Grandpa, are you another spy from the government army?"

The old man threw the jug of old wine to his son and said with a smile: "Another group of undead ghosts want to fight against the heroes of Yanyun Village. Isn't this their own death? Remember, General Li of Yanyun Village is right We have kindness, and we often send people to deliver food to us, as a human being, you can't eat inside and outside."

The young man chuckled and pulled off the lid of the jug, took a big gulp and couldn't help but praise: "The wine is really good wine!"

The old man said angrily: "Little bastard, I will save some for you!"

……

……

Chen Que'er hurriedly found Li Xian who was studying military books in the room, and said with a smile as soon as he entered the door: "General, just now the old man Li from Zewai took his son up the mountain and brought a message."

"The spies from the right guard have arrived outside the lake?"

Li Xian asked without raising his head.

Chen Que'er nodded and said: "He said that there was an old man with a gray beard who asked him about our cottage. He looked like an official. He also made an appointment with Old Man Li to enter the water in the morning. I guess it's right The scouts of the Houwei knew that the stronghold was not easy to attack, so they planned to attack the waterway. The general expected it well, the treasury and granary in Yuncheng were emptied by us, so Feng Xiaoci had no food and could only plan a quick battle. Taking the water route is his inevitable choice."

Li Xian smiled and said: "You first ask someone to fetch a few more pots of new wine brewed by our cottage, and then bring some more meat and thick Sichuan brocade. If it's cold today, the Sichuan brocade just makes clothes. Give some more to Old Man Li. He and his son are heavy drinkers and they don't have a woman in the house, so it's not easy."

Chen Que'er said: "I've already sent someone to take things and send them down the mountain."

Li Xian nodded and said: "Since Feng Xiaoci chooses to attack by water, your navy will be the first to bear the brunt of this battle. Tomorrow you send someone to pretend to be the son of old man Li, and enter the water with the scouts from the right guard." Bo explore the road, of course, you have the final say on which road to explore."

Chen Que'er nodded and said, "I understand!"

The two discussed for a while, and Chen Que'er got up to leave.After he left, Li Xian ordered the soldiers outside: "Go and invite Mrs. Ye, if I have a discussion with her." Huaixiu went to the door.

"The general wants me to do something?"

Ye Huaixiu straightened the hair on his forehead and asked.

"Sit down and talk."

Li Xian smiled and said: "We came down from the mountain to the scout of the right guard."

Ye Huaixiu said lightly: "I know, I asked Ye Fanyun to lead a team of secret spies to follow quietly. Behind those people, there is a team of more than a thousand soldiers and elite cavalry. Before you ask me to come , I was wondering if it was Feng Xiaoci who personally brought people to check the terrain."

Li Xian's expression remained calm and he nodded calmly, "Nine out of ten."

Ye Huaixiu asked in surprise, "Why are you in no hurry?"

Li Xian asked with a smile: "What am I in a hurry for?"

Ye Huaixiu thought for a while and said: "If it is true that Feng Xiaoci personally brought people to check the terrain, and he didn't have many troops under him, he sent people out to capture him or kill him. The right guard has no generals. The battle is self-defeating. Don't you want to seize such a good opportunity that flew out of nowhere?"

Li Xian sighed: "You know that I won't send troops, why bother to ask me?"

Ye Huaixiu leaned on the chair, looked at Li Xian and asked, "Don't you feel a pity that such a good opportunity has been missed?"

"pity?"

Li Xiandao: "Feng Xiaoci is dead, can this battle be avoided? How can it be so simple, the troops of the right guard are still there, and Yang Guang will send another famous general, maybe there will be more troops, such things as famous generals , Yang Guang's men don't seem to be scarce. To kill Feng Xiaoci, this battle will still be fought."

"You mean, think of a way to slaughter all the tens of thousands of horses in the right guard?"

Ye Huaixiu frowned slightly and said: "If such a big victory is really won, I'm afraid it will really attract more court troops. At that time, maybe more troops will be sent, if the court navy who is preparing for the battle in Donglai is transferred, the reeds in the water will not be able to stop the countless five-toothed ships!"

"So this battle is not easy to fight. If you want to win it, you can't win it too quickly. It's better to delay it until the beginning of next spring. At that time, Yang Guang will have no time and no soldiers to send to Dongping County."

Li Xian sighed.

Ye Huaixiu asked: "Are you so sure that the Sui Dynasty will attack Goguryeo for the third time next year?"

"Must be sure and sure."

Li Xian stood up and walked to the door, looking at the late autumn scenery in the mountains outside, he said, "Yang Guang is too stubborn, and he is very happy. He won't give up until he really defeats Goguryeo. Didn't you also say that?" Why did the navy of the Sui Dynasty rush back to Donglai after returning to Luoyang, the eastern capital? Isn’t it to prepare for the conquest of Goguryeo in the spring of next year?”

Ye Huaixiu also stood up and walked to Li Xian's side to occupy them side by side. After thinking for a while, he said, "If there is really a third conquest of Goguryeo and the imperial army's expedition, I'm afraid the world will be even more chaotic, but... …The imperial court has more than enough energy to deal with it.”

"What can you do to drag Feng Xiaoci until the beginning of next spring? There are still a few months left. The right waiter has no food, Feng Xiaoci must want to make a quick decision, and he has no time to waste with you. Besides, next year if the Sui Dynasty Continuing the Eastern Expedition, the troops of the Right Guard will also be transferred to Liaodong."

Li Xian smiled and said: "There is always a way, I am not in a hurry, Feng Xiaoci is in a hurry, and if I want Feng Xiaoci to be in a hurry, I have no choice but to be in a hurry, damn it... What a headache."

……

……

Feng Xiaoci took a guard to look at the terrain of the mountain from a distance, although he could tell without going up close that it was really difficult to attack the Yanyun village. He looked at the majestic and majestic mountain and sighed: " It’s a pity that such a good location has been taken over by thieves.”

Just as he was talking, a person riding horse came from a distance, came to Feng Xiaoci panting and said: "General, as expected, the old guy in the village waited for you to leave before, he and a young man People went up the mountain. It’s just that I dare not go near the foot of the mountain, so I don’t know how they got in.” When this man Feng Xiaoci left the village, he stayed behind and quietly hid in the dense forest to observe the soldiers, and compared what he saw with Feng Xiaoci I said it exactly.

Liu Shibao said angrily: "I just said, that old guy is not a good guy!"

Cui Zhi laughed and said, "General, it's a clever calculation, the people in the village outside Juye Ze can't trust any of them."

He was smiling when he suddenly thought of something: "General, we must leave quickly! That old guy went into the mountain to inform the thieves in Yanyun Village. If the people from Yanyun Village go down the mountain, it will be broken."

Feng Xiaoci nodded and said, "Let's go back to camp now."

The crowd galloped back along the way they came, and it didn't take long to join up with a thousand fine riders who followed in the distance.After assembling the backup, everyone settled down and prepared to return to the camp outside Yuncheng.Only Cui Zhi and Liu Shibao took a few steps forward, but General Feng Xiaoci did not leave.

"General, let's go."

Liu Shibao reined in his horse and said.
