Chapter 131 Layout
Liu Xia stood in the temporary headquarters in Tianlongzhai, looking at the sand table in front of her and was silent.
Tianlongzhai is less than 70 miles away from Heifengzhai, and the forward position of the anti-bandit army has advanced to 30 miles of Heifengzhai.
The thirteen cottages of Heifengzhai have now been evacuated to Heifengzhai. With the Juyi gang and all the miscellaneous deserters, the number of mountain thieves in Heifengzhai today is probably more than 15,000.
These are all men with combat effectiveness.
If the family members of Heifengzhai are included, I'm afraid the number of people will be about 30,000.
Liu Xia knew in her heart that Heifengzhai would not accept Zhao'an. Even if they wanted to be Zhao'an, Liu Xia would not give them this opportunity.
Because, it has been affirmed from Liu Hongtao that this Heifengzhai is a chess piece placed here by a trader in Longdu. There is no room for negotiation to eradicate them.
And this piece is very important.
So, this is not just a game of encircling and suppressing bandits, but a conspiracy to take over the throne.
"Your Majesty, General Song and General Duan have arrived."
At this time, Liu Liansheng came in and said.
"Well, let them in. You can inform Liu Hongtao."
Liu Xia looked up and said.
After a while, everyone arrived one after another.
"Gentlemen, it is the last moment to eliminate the mountain thieves in Yuntianling. Today, the three of you are in a hurry to come here to hear your opinions on attacking Heifengzhai.
Liu Xia stood in front of the sand table with her hands on her back and laughed.
"Your Majesty, I have sent spies to Heifengzhai in the past few days. The scale and defensive offensive of this Heifengzhai are very powerful. I suggest burning the woods around the Heifengzhai, and then prepare the siege equipment to attack the Heifengzhai.
Song Yuanshan said with his fist at this moment.
"This time, we may also be able to make it in the same way and find a way to sneak into the Heifengzhai, and maybe we can also get a miraculous effect."
Liu Hongtao said with a fist.
"I think we should raid the south side of Heifengzhai, attract their firepower, and then attack from the front door, so that we can enter Heifengzhai."
Duan Lingxiao also said.
"It seems that the opinions of the three people are very different, and they all advocate a strong attack on Heifengzhai?"
Liu Xia asked.
The three people looked at each other and nodded one after another.
"My opinion is the same. This Heifengzhai is indeed in defense, and there are no loopholes for us. Liu Hongtao, you are ready to order people to use siege equipment now. We are initially determined to attack Heifengzhai the day after tomorrow. I mean, after the end of the meeting, the defense line will be immediately reduced, so that all the soldiers and horses who can participate in the war will arrive at the periphery of Heifengzhai at 10 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, and give Heifengzhai a fatal blow in the morning of the day after tomorrow. What do you think?"
Liu Xia said with a smile.
"I will wait and die."
At present, three people hugged their fists and said.
"Hehe, that's good. Today's meeting ends here for the time being. After the three go back, they are ready to issue an order to mobilization the army. It's urgent."
Liu Xia said.
"No!"
Immediately, the three people were ready to leave.
"General Duan, General Song, you stay first. I still have a colorful roar here. I need to talk to you two in detail."
Liu Xia laughed at this time.
Liu Hongtao frowned slightly, but he could only hold his fist and leave first.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with the colorful roar you mentioned?"
Song Yuanshan asked curiously.
"Two people, to be honest, Heifengzhai has now mastered an ancient insect group called bloodthirsty insects. This poisonous insect is so domineering that it can destroy our 100,000 troops overnight. Huang Long holds this killer mace in his hand and has been waiting for the day when we gather. Fortunately, I already have a way to crack it, so this is no big deal. But what I'm worried about now is Liu Hongtao.
Liu Xia frowned and said.
"Liu Dusi? Does he have bad intentions?"
Song Yuanshan asked.
"I am not fully sure that this person has defected now, but this battle is crucial and we have to prevent it. If my inference is not wrong, when the army gathers tomorrow, Liu Hongtao will do anything to destroy the colorful roaring blood we have prepared, so that we will be put to death. The day after tomorrow, when we attacked Heifengzhai, he suddenly turned against the water and completely took advantage of the chaos to encircle us in Yuntianling and cut off our back road. In this way, all my 100,000 troops have been destroyed here.
Liu Xia said in a low voice.
"Does the prince have a corresponding way?"
Duan Lingxiao hurriedly asked.
"Well, I ordered Song Qingming to collect a batch of colorful roars, and now these colorful roars are already in Tianlongzhai. However, Liu Hongtao didn't expect that I secretly kissed the Song family in private and also picked up a batch of colorful roars for me. Now this batch of colorful roaring blood has been disguised as military food, and it should have arrived at the foot of the mountain at this moment. In a while, Brother Yuanshan, you personally go down the mountain to pick up and drop off this batch of colorful roaring blood to your tent. Because Liu Hongtao doesn't know it, he will definitely find a way to destroy the colorful roaring blood here in Tianlongzhai. In addition, he will steal part of it for his own use the day after tomorrow. I will tamper in the colorful roar of blood in Longzhai. Liu Hongtao never dreamed that they would bind themselves this time.
Liu Xia said with a sneer.
"The prince is wise. In this way, once the war starts the day after tomorrow, the enemy and I will make a judgment. It's just that the last general is worried that the front line will be so chaotic at that time, and I'm afraid that there will be other problems?"
Song Yuanshan asked worriedly.
"I'm also worried about this, so I came to discuss it with you two today. Therefore, this army in Wuzhou can't be counted on. When you attack the city in the morning the day after tomorrow, your task is to attack the Black Dragon Village at all costs. Although Liu Hongtao is the capital here, I don't think there will be more than 10,000 people who can really obey his orders. When I arrange the defense tomorrow, I will put them all on the back line. If Liu Hongtao really defected and he brings people to disturb us, because the colorful roaring blood on their bodies has been invalid, they will be killed by bloodthirsty insects. We don't have to worry too much. And those generals and troops with no problems are on the defensive line, and the bloodthirsty insects will not affect them. I think this is also the best way."
Liu Xia said in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured that our Song Jiajun and Brother Duan Tiankuiwei have both experienced a hundred battles. Although Heifeng Village is difficult and dangerous, our number is several times that of the enemy. In addition, the enemy thinks that there is a blood worm, so it is inevitable that we will underestimate the enemy. At that time, we will be very sure to capture the Black Dragon Village.
Song Yuanshan laughed.
"I know this. Well, in order not to arouse Liu Hongtao's suspicion, you two go back and prepare now. Remember, this batch of military food should be escorted very carefully. This is the only bargaining chip for our lives.
Liu Xia told him.
"Don't worry, let's leave first."
After saying that, Song Yuanshan and Duan Lingxiao left the room.
Liu Xia looked at the sand table on the ground table, closed her eyes, and breathed a sigh of relief.
In the early morning of the next day, Tianlongzhai was busy, and the suppression of bandits reached the final stage. The reorganized Tianlongzhai people and horses set out with Liu Xia's army.
Qian Zhen rode on the earth spirit beast, looked back at the Tianlongzhai he had built with one hand, and couldn't help sighing.
Seeing Liu Xia and his party riding towards him from afar, Qian Zhen hurriedly greeted him.
"Mr. Qian, you will leave here forever in the future. Take a good look."
Liu Xia looked back at Tianlong Village and smiled faintly.
"The prince, there is nothing to be reluctant to give up. I heard that the family who moved to Qiu County now have food and clothes to wear, and the court also distributed land to them. In the future, they don't have to live that kind of fearful life, and the biggest worry about the end has already landed. Even if you die in this battle, you will no longer care about it.
Qian Zhen hugged his fist and said.
"Brother Qian, don't say that. I appreciate your chivalrous heart very much. We will win this battle, and you will live. After this battle, why don't you go back to Longdu with me? Only there can you make a big difference. What do you think?"
Liu Xia said with a smile.
Qian Zhen was stunned and hurriedly hugged his fist and said, "The last general is afraid of involving the prince. After all, the last general once..."
"Do not talk about it again. That's it. Isn't it just being a bandit? Who hasn't gone the wrong way yet? Live well!"
Liu Xia wrinkled and said.
"No!"
Qian Zhen held his fist and hurriedly bowed his head and said.
"Go ahead, I want to see your performance in this battle."
Liu Xia said with a faint smile.
"Don't worry, the prince, the last general will die."
After saying that, Qian Zhen raised his whip and rushed down the hill.
Liu Xia knows in her heart that Qian Zhen has now taken revenge, and the cottage has also been edicted. The biggest concern in his life is gone.
If there is no concern, there is no hope.
If a person lives without hope and falls into a desperate situation, this person will also be destroyed.
Liu Xia was worried about him, so she told him this and gave him some hope, so that people could survive.
How can you defeat the enemy without the desire to survive?
Then the army began to march slowly on the winding mountain road. In the evening, more than 80,000 people arrived at Longhu Ridge, five miles away from Heifengzhai.
The terrain of Longhuling is steep. There was originally a cottage here, but all the mountain thieves here have been evacuated to the Heifeng Village, so it has become the temporary headquarters of the army.
At this moment, the camp is busy. The three-way army is gathered here, and the camp is more than ten miles long and magnificent.
At this moment, Liu Hongtao, Song Yuanshan, Duan Lingxiao and other generals gathered in the Chinese army camp to wait for news.
"Gentlemen, the army has now been gathered. Tomorrow morning, we will prepare to launch a final attack on Heifengzhai. Liu Dusi, how about you be a pioneer tomorrow?
This is the last time Liu Xia is testing Liu Hongtao.
If Liu Hongtao really hasn't changed his mind, he will take the initiative to attack Heifengzhai tomorrow, because this is his opportunity to make contributions.
"Well, the prince, the army of Tianlongzhai, as the vanguard general, I think it is the most appropriate. There are few wars in the Wuzhou army. With this siege, the last general is a little less confident.
Liu Hongtao hesitated for a moment and said with a fist.
When Liu Xia heard this, she sighed gently in her heart. This was his last chance. Obviously, Liu Hongtao gave up.
"Well, what General Liu said is very true. Tianlongzhai and Heifengzhai have been fighting for many years. They are indeed more experienced, but I am abrupt.
Liu Xia patted her forehead and hurriedly explained.
