The Summoning World of the Great Qin Empire

Chapter 1917

After saying this, Guan Yu suddenly turned his head and looked at Li Yuanba. Li Yuanji rubbed his fingers unnaturally.

"Huh? What's the problem?" Li Yuanba asked with a dry smile.

Guan Yu's eyes were shining brightly: "I see."

Li Yuanba's face became tense, thinking that Yun Changgong should not care about such trivial matters, and then thinking of Guan Yu's words: "Of course it is impossible for all one hundred thousand soldiers and horses to leave by boat. In other words, there are people hiding in secret." In other places, we have traveled all the way, where is the best place to hide soldiers and horses?"

The most suitable place on the Xiangshui River for an army to ambush should be Crane Crying Mountain!
Crane Crying Mountain has continuous ups and downs, and the highest point is so steep that even a flying yellow crane cannot fly over it, hence the name Hecrying Mountain.

Guan Yu's eyes had already begun to show a murderous look: "In other words, a large part of the Chu army's strength is hidden in the Crane Crying Mountain. After our army goes deep, this dormant army will definitely attack us secretly and give us a fatal blow. What a disaster! You lead the army first, and I will personally report this matter to His Majesty!"

As he said that, Guan Yu picked up the Qinglong Yanyue Saber, got on his horse, and led hundreds of soldiers, thinking about rushing back and forth.

Li Yuanba coughed dryly, and looked at the messengers around him: "The whole army is still eating, and the marching speed remains unchanged."

"Here!" The orderly replied.

Fusu was actually in Linxiang City at the moment, and he himself did not expect that after waking up from sleep, he would find that Linxiang City was empty.

The armored soldiers of the Chu army on the tower are all straw men, but if they stand at a distance, it is still difficult to distinguish them.

After entering Linxiang City, Fusu dispatched three scouts to contact Guan Yujun, but it has been a day and there is still no response. If this continues, there is still no way out.

Fusu planned to wait until this evening. If there was no response, he would dispatch troops tomorrow morning and head straight to Yiyang.

After finally killing the depths of the Chu army's hinterland, if you miss this opportunity, you don't know when you will have it again.

Just as Guan Yu expected, the emperor would never miss this opportunity, even if he knew there was an ambush ahead, he was unwilling to retreat.

"Report—" In the evening, a group of cavalry galloped into the city. The leader of the cavalry had a command flag on his back. When everyone in the city saw it, they quickly got out of the way. This cavalry went straight to the city lord's mansion. go.

Guan Yu got off his horse and said directly, "Marquis of Fenshui, Guan Yu is asking to see you, go and inform His Majesty."

The guard of the imperial army said: "Master Hou can just go in, there is no need to inform, the villain will lead the way for Lord Hou."

"Thank you!" Guan Yu bowed his hands.

The imperial guards cupped their hands and led Guan Yu into the city lord's mansion, where they saw Fusu directly.

"Yun Chang! Why did you fold it back?" Fusu put down the document in his hand and looked at Guan Yu curiously.

Guan Yu recounted how he led the army on the side of the road and saw the soldiers and horses of Chu in a warship, and then added: "At that time, I felt that something was wrong. Although Linxiang City is on the edge of the Xiangshui River, But where did so many warships come from? Therefore, I guessed that there must be an ambush on Crane Crying Mountain!"

"Crane crying mountain?"

Fusu turned his head, stared at the map, and took a deep breath: "When you came back, did you ever pass by Crane Crying Mountain?"

"Passing by." Guan Yu nodded and said: "But in order not to startle the snake, I led the soldiers and horses and roared past without stopping."

Fusu got up, thought for a moment and said, "How's the terrain over there? Can we win with fire attack?"

Guan Yu laughed and said, "That's exactly what I want to say. It's already autumn and the grass is withered. Under the fire, even if there are one hundred thousand troops in the Crane Crying Mountain, it will be wiped out in an instant."

"Okay, this is a good job." Fusu couldn't be more excited. Li Yuanba has now led the army on the way, and he can do his best to stabilize the Chu army. matter.

"Pass down the order, the army prepares more turpentine rockets, I want to burn the Crane Crying Mountain!" Fusu shouted loudly, and the left and right guards hurriedly retreated.

Before dawn, the army had already set off.

Linxiang City is indeed a water city. The water resources here are very rich. Relatively speaking, there will be a lot of ships. The people in the city have a great sense of fear for the arrival of the Qin army.

After the Qin army entered the city, they only bought a lot of food from large households at the market price, and did not do other things to massacre the city, everyone felt at ease.

This temporarily relieved Fusu's already very tight supply of food and grass.

A county city is a county city after all, and it is not comparable to other cities.

Until the early morning of the second day, I checked the calculations against the map, and at the end of the evening at most, I could reach the Crane Crying Mountain. The marching speed of the army gradually slowed down, and the generals at all levels in the army began to count all kinds of combustibles.

As long as the rocket lightly flicks the open fire, it will burn with a "boom". The grass and trees on both sides of the Xiangshui River are withered and yellow. If you shoot an arrow in any direction, it can cause a fire in an instant.

In the middle of the Crane Crying Mountain, Ji Xin clamped the cut wild pork in front of him on the flame, and turned it around a few times, and the soldiers brought a jar the size of a human head, which contained fresh chili powder.

This thing is like the high-yield rice that Fusu discovered before, and it was all stolen from Qin by the secret workers of Chu.

It is not a big problem to keep it secret for a short period of time, but after a long time, all kinds of peppers will be scattered all over the land of China.

"Counting the time, Ying Fusu should be leading the army to pass by here soon." Ji Xin asked.

The soldiers on one side nodded and said: "Almost, according to the general's order, we will return and occupy Linxiang City after the Qin army has passed Hekushan."

The pieces of meat squeaked on the flames, the fat flowed down the flames, and the flames burst into flames.

"Report! General! The Qin army is here!"

A pair of warriors walked over, Ji Xin jumped up, stomped out the flames, and looked at the crowd: "I will cut off the tongue of anyone who dares to tell my brother that I live in barbecue."

Before the division of troops, Ji Bu said a lot, one of which was that they were not allowed to light a fire for cooking, which would easily expose their whereabouts. After eating dry food for a few days, Ji Xin couldn't take it anymore, so he ordered someone to shoot a wild boar and prepare to roast it. , I never thought that Qin Jun would come just after I baked it!
"Don't worry, general, how can we talk nonsense?" A warrior smiled flatteringly.

Ji Xin looked at the fire that was still smoking, and poured water on the kettle on the side, there was a chirping sound, and the smoke gradually became smaller.

"Take this general to have a look, and tell everyone to stay where they are now. Whoever dares to act recklessly will be punished!" Ji Xin shouted coldly, but he himself is very loose, so his subordinates are not too sloppy. Take his words as a matter of course.
