Chapter 460 Unexpected

There were many broken tree branches and knee-high weeds planted on the tent. From a distance, the tent looked like an ordinary grassy slope.Because of the cover of tree branches and weeds, the occasional sunlight falling from the gaps between the branches of the forest has no power on the tent, and it will not make the temperature in the tent as high as a steamer.But even so, the tent still seemed stuffy.

In July, there is almost no place to feel comfortable, even in the shade of trees, you can't feel the slightest coolness.The sweltering air penetrates everywhere, making people feel irritable and want to scold their mothers.But the soldiers of Yanyun Village, who hadn't slept all night and traveled nearly [-] miles, slept soundly in the dense forest. In their opinion, it was already a very satisfying thing to just rest in a forest. thing.

If the secret agent hadn't arranged the itinerary in advance, who knows if he would sleep under the sun today?

Li Xian felt a little stuffy in the tent, so he simply opened the curtain and walked out.Niu Jinda followed behind him, and the two sat down on a rock under a big tree.

"How far is it from here to Liu Heita's barracks?"

Li Xian asked.

After calculating the distance, Niu Jinda said: "According to the itinerary specified by the secret agent before, we will drive overnight tonight, rest during the day tomorrow, and drive another night tomorrow night. If we continue to rest during the day the day after tomorrow, we will definitely be able to finish the trip before Haishi the night after tomorrow." Yes. If it is a night attack, as long as the soldiers insist on staying in the back of the emperor, they will be able to kill them."

Li Xian nodded: "Your calculation is based on infantry."

Niu Jinda said: "Well, based on the infantry's fastest speed, it will take two full nights plus midnight. If the cavalry is on their way without stopping, the watchtower of Liu Heita's camp will be visible when the sun rises tomorrow. The soldiers have a rest Today, the raid can be launched tomorrow night."

Li Xian hummed, narrowed his eyes slightly, and didn't know what he was planning.

Li Xian was silent for a while and said, "Can you hurry now?"

Niu Jinda nodded and said, "No problem."

"Well"

Li Xian stood up and said, "Hurry back now. Aren't some generals in Liu Heita's camp already familiar with you? Tomorrow noon, you will find a way to invite all the generals who are familiar with you to drink. Please invite as many people as you can, and at noon tomorrow, I will personally lead the army to the camp!"

"Lord!"

Niu Jinda was taken aback, stood up abruptly and said, "The lord intends to take only Qingqi to raid Liu Heitai's camp? You have a day off today, and you have to arrive tomorrow morning when it gets dark. It's too risky to attack after only half a day's rest." The lord is a daughter of gold, don't take such a risk! Moreover, even if all the Qingqi are assembled, there are only 5000 people. Although Liu Heita has just taken over Su Dingfang's troops, the 3 people are the most elite team under Dou Jiande. Once the attack is frustrated, the backup will never arrive in time."

"Where is the body of a thousand gold?"

Li Xian smiled and said, "They all have two legs, two hands and a head, nothing special."

He lowered his voice and said: "As long as you know about this matter, don't mention it to anyone. You can rush back now, as long as you send away some of Liu Heita's generals, you will be more than half successful. You can do other things." Don't worry, I have confidence in Yanyun Qingqi."

"But……"

"No but!"

Li Xian stood up, waved his hands and said, "Go."

Niu Jinda had no choice but to turn around and leave after saluting.He immediately set off with his entourage, and a group of more than a dozen people mounted their horses and rushed out of the dense forest, and quickly disappeared from sight.After Niu Jinda left, Li Xian immediately ordered his soldiers: "Go and find General Qin, General Cheng, and General Xiong."

Not long after, Qin Qiong and others, who had just laid down and hadn't fallen asleep, hurried over.

Li Xian asked the three of them to come over and said something in a low voice. The expressions of Qin Qiong and the other three immediately changed, but Li Xian didn't give them a chance to dissuade them. He simply and directly gave the order, then stood up and stretched Lanyao said: "Go back to sleep, and no one will bother Gu again before dark. Of course, if you haven't woken up before dark, Gu will send people to beat you up with sticks."

He waved his hand and said, "Go, no matter what you have to talk about after dark."

Qin Qiong and the others looked at Li Xian's leaving back and looked at each other in blank dismay. The three of them looked at me and I at you, all with serious expressions.They really didn't expect that the lord would have such a bold plan.It's just that now, none of the three of them can stop this from happening.

I don't know when, the wind became stronger and stronger, and it blew through the dense forest. The soldiers lying on the ground and sleeping finally felt a comfortable and thorough feeling. Amid the sound of the wind blowing the leaves, the soldiers fell asleep soundly. A look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

Li Xian lay on the bed, also sleeping soundly.

……

……

Niu Jinda rushed back to the place called Qiujia Town with a dozen or so entourages. Liu Heitai took over Su Dingfang's [-] Xia Army camp, which was not far north of Qiujia Town.Less than [-] li further south from Qiujia Town is the Yellow River Ferry. Before July, this barracks was still south of Qiujia Town. Later, because of more and more frequent conflicts with the navy of Yanyun Village, Su Dingfang ordered the camp to be moved to the south of Qiujia Town. Withdrew north for more than ten miles, although it seemed a bit like showing weakness, Su Dingfang himself didn't think so.

After Liu Heita took over the army, he even ordered the army to retreat a few miles north again.

If it is said that Su Dingfang ordered the northward retreat because he was annoyed by the continuous provocations of the Yanyunzhai navy, and the soldiers could understand this military order, then they immediately ordered the camp to move northward again when Liu Heitai first arrived here. It was a bit puzzling to withdraw for a few miles, so it is not surprising that some people said that Liu Heita was a coward.

Retreating without fighting a battle, it seems a bit aggrieved no matter what.

However, the Xia army was well-trained, and this 3-strong army called the Feixiong Army was the most elite team in the Xia army. Although the soldiers looked down on Liu Heita's style of conduct, they still carried out the order thoroughly.It's just that it's far away from Qiujia Town, and it's a bit difficult to go to the town to have some fun.

Liu Heikai didn't announce any military orders after he arrived in the army, he just promoted the generals as a routine, ordered the army to train normally, and was not allowed to leave the barracks without permission, and he never called the generals to discuss matters.All the generals had heard of Liu Heitai's name, and knew that he was a man of real ability.But such performance still made them feel a little contemptuous, so that in just two days, the nickname began to spread quietly in the barracks.

刘怂

In any case, the word cowardly has no commendatory meaning.

But Liu Heita pretended not to know, and didn't even leave the door of the military tent for ten days.

As a result, the soldiers and generals despised him even more.But on the tenth day, Liu Heita suddenly beat the drums to raise the tent, and when all the generals rushed over, some people were a little late.Liu Heitai didn't spare any sympathy, and ordered all the generals who were late to be punished for [-] years, and there was another general who was roaring in the hall, and he even ordered him to die with the cane.Within ten days after he took office, he also pointed out all kinds of people who violated laws and disciplines in the army. His personal soldiers supplemented these official positions.The biggest handwriting was the other general who was beaten to death with a stick, and this other general was still the general in charge of the supply camp.Holding the supply battalion in his own hands is tantamount to choking the lifeline of this team.

It was unfortunate that Niu Jinda rushed back, just as Liu Heita had just finished showing off.He sent people to try to contact those generals of the Xia army who were familiar with him, but they all excused that they were busy with military affairs and couldn't leave the camp.After Niu Jinda sent someone to investigate clearly, one can imagine the annoyance and panic in his heart.

The task Li Xian gave him was to invite General Xia to a banquet at noon on the second day, but now none of the generals could be invited.This made Niu Jinda feel as if a boulder was blocked in his heart, full of uneasiness.

When Su Dingfang was here, he could even enter and leave the barracks freely.But now Liu Heitai is in charge of the barracks, I'm afraid Liu Heitai will recognize him as soon as he shows up.

How to do!

Niu Jinda anxiously paced back and forth in the room, but the more anxious he was, the more he couldn't think of a solution.He drove back and forth for several days, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.The light was still on in his room until early morning, and he could still be seen walking back and forth through the window.

He was worrying about how to complete the task Li Xian had given him, but he had no idea that the danger was approaching him little by little.

……

……

"General Niu, how about I go to Xia Jun's barracks again?"

Jia Guang, the secret agent leader who was in charge of cooperating with him, was also very anxious. He hesitated and said: "Those guys are all greedy for money. I will prepare a few generous gifts for them tomorrow morning. They will not be able to return our money if they take it." Stay in the barracks and can't come out."

"Liu Heizai's intention is to establish his prestige, and no one dares to touch bad luck at this time."

Niu Jinda sighed and said, "Who knew such a coincidence?"

"or……"

A trace of coldness flashed in Jia Guang's eyes: "Tonight, I will sneak into Xia's camp with secret agents, and kill as many as I can."

"no!"

Niu Jinda waved his hands and said, "Tonight's action will only scare the snake. If Liu Heita stepped up his inspection, it will be even more detrimental to the master's affairs."

"But we can't just sit around like this."

Jia Guang said eagerly.

"and many more!"

Niu Jinda suddenly thought of something, he smiled and said: "There is a way."

He pondered for a while and said: "Didn't a dozen generals be killed by Liu Hei today?"
