It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 300

Xu Shenji woke up the next day and found that the house was empty, and there was an empty wine jar in the house. As for what he did and said last night, Xu Shenji had completely forgotten all about it. He only realized one thing: Mu Changgeng had escaped.

He hurriedly told Cheng Dalei the news, but Cheng Dalei didn't react much, just said casually: "Let's go, by the way, you didn't say anything to him, did you?"

"How could it be?" Xu Shenji patted his chest and said, "I've been guarding him, and I haven't told him anything."

"That's good." Cheng Dalei still believed Xu Shenji's words, he said, "Isn't there a few people left? Send someone to watch closely and see what they do."

Cheng Dalei investigated the traitor and found a few people, all of whom were left in the blacksmith shop to exercise. After so long, some people could not stand the torture, so they quietly withdrew, and now there are still a few people in the blacksmith shop who can endure it.

For these people, it is natural to have to guard against it.

As for Mu Changgeng's escape, Cheng Dalei really didn't take it too seriously. After he wrote it down in his heart, he started busy with other things.

In other words, Mu Changgeng had to be careful of the poisonous snakes in the shoal all the way when he left the Toad Village in the water. In the end, he lost his strength and finally landed successfully.

In the evening of the same day, he finally returned to Qinchuan Pass. At this moment, he was exhausted and collapsed, and his whole body was supported by one breath.

"Hey, is this the pastoral captain..."

The pawn at the gate caught him, and he was a little reluctant to recognize it for a while. Only half a month had passed, Mu Changgeng had lost weight, his face was black and rough, and his hands were covered with thick calluses.

"Go find the general, find the general..."

Mu Changgeng was carried into Qinchuan Pass, drank some gruel, and then fed him some ginseng soup before he woke up and regained some physical strength.

"Brother Mu, you are finally back. We thought you had been poisoned by thieves." Mo Mingmi.

Mu Changgeng burst into tears before he spoke, thinking of what had happened in the past few days in his mind, and grievances rolled up.

"General, general, I thought I would never see you again."

"Just come back, just come back." Mo Mingmi patted his shoulder lightly.

"Have you found any news?" Yan Di asked.

Mu Changgeng nodded: "Fortunately, the mission given by the general has finally been completed."

With the screen back, only Yan Di, Mo Mingmi and Mu Changgeng on the sickbed were left in the room.

Mu Changgeng coughed and said, "The news came from Xu Shenji."

"Is it that Xu Shenji, who is known as the magician?" Yan Di's eyes lit up.

Mu Changgeng nodded heavily: "It's him."

"Master Yan has also heard of him?" Mo Mingmi asked.

"Of course I've heard of it." Yan Di was fascinated: "The general doesn't know anything, this Xu Shenji is the most capable person around Cheng Dalei, Qingniu Mountain broke the Rong army, and Changan assassinated Yang Longting, all of which are up to him to make plans, otherwise Things will never be so easy.”

"There are such talented people in the world." Mo Mingmi sighed with emotion, it's a pity that there are such talented people who can't be used by me.

"I also know that Xu Shenji is very good. I have been careful all the time, and I dare not show any flaws in front of him. Until I gained his trust, I got him drunk last night, and learned the method of breaking the fortress from his mouth."

"Xu Shenji is from the Toad Village, how could he think of a way to break the village?" Yan Di asked.

"Master Yan doesn't know that. According to Xu Shenji, those who are good at defending must first know how the opponent attacks, and those who are good at attacking must first know how the opponent is defending. Only with the method of breaking the fortress can you know how to prescribe the right medicine."

"So that's the case." Yan Di shook his head, feeling that he was inferior to himself, willing to bow down.

Mo Mingmi glanced at Yan Di, and the meaning in his eyes was: Your realm is far from Xu Shenji.

"How about Xu Shenji?"

"He only said eight words to me." Mu Changgeng lowered his voice and said every word: "If you want to break the cottage, you should attack with fire."

Mo Mingmi and Yan Di looked at each other, and both saw surprise and consternation in each other's eyes. Yan Di was stunned for a while before he said, "Lieutenant Pastor, don't you know that Toad Village is on an island..."

Yan Di didn't say the next words: There is water on all sides!

Isn't it nonsense to attack with fire on an island surrounded by water.

Mo Mingmi said, "Could it be that Xu Shenji had already seen through Brother Mu, so he deliberately used words to slander Brother Mu, and used it as a trick to bring the king into the urn."

"No." Mu Changgeng shook his head: "I also thought about this question on the way back. If it is really a tactic to lure soldiers, I should say something more like a real tactic, because this attacking tactic is not real, It’s actually true.”

Mo Mingmi and Yan Di nodded at the same time, both felt that Mu Changgeng's words were reasonable.

"But this fire attack plan... how should I do it?"

Mu Changgeng sat upright on the sickbed and said, "I would like to ask the generals and military advisors, if we understand Toad Village, are we comparable to Xu Shenji, if we are sharp-eyed and clever in strategy, we are comparable to Xu Shenji machine?"

"This..." Yan Di shook his head: "As for Xu Shenji, I am willing to bow down."

"That's it, the fire attack plan is what Xu Shenji said from the bottom of his heart, so it must work. It's just..." Mu Changgeng sighed: "With our intelligence, we can't keep up with Xu Shenji's thinking. ."

Mo Mingmi and Yan Di nodded at the same time, deeply agreeing with Mu Changgeng's words.

"Let's think about it now, how to do this fire attack?" Mo Mingmi sighed: "Now the answer has been given to us, but we don't know how to solve the problem. This Xu Shenji... is really high. ."

"General, as soon as I leave, Xu Shenji must be vigilant. This matter has to be quick. If he is on guard, we will miss this foolproof opportunity."

"I see."

The three stayed up all night, took out the map of Toad Island, and studied how to break the village. This matter should not be too late. On the next morning, Mo Mingmi ordered ten large boats and fifty small boats, with a total strength of more than 5,000, and more fire-starters such as brimstone and gunpowder were on board.

Mo Mingmi's plan was like this, first use rockets to burn the boats on Toad Island, so that the other party loses the ability to launch. Then land on the beach and start hand-to-hand combat on the island. The key goal is to burn down the buildings, docks, and granaries of the Toad Village. As long as the granary of Toad Village is destroyed, the thieves of Toad Village will not be self-defeating.

After thinking of this method, Mo Mingmi breathed a sigh of relief, Xu Shenji gave the answer, and he had an idea to solve the problem in one night. It seems that the gap between himself and Xu Shenji is not as big as he imagined.

Of course, this is just his own idea. In fact, he can't imagine how big the gap between Xu Shenji and him is.

This is a battle that must be won. Mo Mingmi personally leads the army and sends 5,000 troops to attack the Toad Village.
