Not to mention that Li Xu dressed up as a soldier and went into the valley to check, he said that Yang Wenrui led his soldiers down the mountain overnight to set up an ambush on the cliffs on both sides of the opposite mountain canyon to wait.

The mountain road is already rugged and difficult to walk, and it is even more difficult to march at night. Dozens of people fall off the cliff along the way, and even more sprains and bruises.

The soldiers were very resentful and mostly said to be negligent.

However, Yang Wenrui was strict in the army. Although everyone was very resentful, no one dared to speak out.

Someone who complained too much and complained, and others hurriedly advised: "Liu Shutong's blood is still on the ground in the Juyi Hall. Are you going to follow his footsteps?"

Hearing this, no one dared to complain anymore.

Although Yang Wenrui knew that the soldiers were working hard, he did not have any mercy. He just drove away and scolded them. Those who were slow and slackened would whip them with a horse whip. Everyone dared not speak out, so they had to move forward.

Finally arrived at the opposite canyon, but worked hard to climb the cliff and search for rocks and rolling trees to use as an ambush.

There are few trees on the cliff, and the soldiers are lying among the rocks and weeds. Mosquitoes are irritating and biting, and the sun is scorching above the head, and the body and mind are getting more tired, and their expressions are too impatient.

Some people even hid under nearby trees to shade and escape the summer heat, and the morale of the military even became even more sluggish.

Seeing this, Yang Wenrui was furious and waved the whip himself and sent a team of personal soldiers to serve as the supervisor team. All those who dared to disobey the military orders were dealt with by military law.

The soldiers were frightened by their power and dared not say much, but they felt even more whispered in their hearts and tried hard to greet Yang Wenrui's ancestors throughout the ages.

After lying on the cliff for half a day, I finally saw a team of official cavalry entering the canyon.

Yang Wenrui was shocked and whispered to the soldiers to cheer up.

He held a monolithic mirror purchased with a large sum of money to observe the movements of the officers, but found that the cavalry did not walk through the valley, but instead traveled back and forth in the valley.

The generals next to him were puzzled, and Yang Wenrui explained: "This is definitely a vanguard to explore the way, and there must be a main force of the official army behind him. Please do not act rashly, so as not to alarm the enemy."

When the generals heard this, they were a little scared. How could more than a thousand people on their side compete with the main force of the official army?

Yang Wenrui was so excited that he thought in his heart that if he could severely damage the main force of this official army, he would not only boost his morale, but also add a batch of armor and equipment. He might be able to attack Chang'an City in one go to capture and kill the Song brothers, and then quickly control the palace and take the opportunity to push King Yong to the throne.

Great things are expected!

However, his fanatical look was even more worried in the eyes of his generals.

Since ancient times, most of the people who plan to usurp the dynasty have rarely achieved good results.

Not to mention the hundreds of thousands of troops outside the court, even the tens of thousands of imperial guards guarding the capital, are not able to compete with them, more than a thousand people.

However, everyone was unable to get rid of the tiger at this time, and was frightened by Liu Shutong's death. No one dared to say anything to dissuade him. They could only be silent and think about it in their hearts.

At this time, Yang Wenrui had no time to worry about the thoughts of his generals, and his attention was on the official cavalry in the Mile Mile.

The pair of cavalry traveled back and forth through the canyon several times, and the strange nature made him a little confused.

But in the end, he insisted on his previous judgment and ordered the soldiers to continue to lurk patiently, waiting for the main force of the official army to enter the valley before launching a fatal blow.

After the cavalry retreated from the canyon again, a moment later, people shouted and neighed from the canyon.

Yang Wenrui was delighted and looked carefully with a thousand-mile mirror, but saw that the brigade of officers and soldiers outside the canyon entrance were resting.

It is roughly estimated that there are about 10,000 people.

Yang Wenrui was shocked at first about the number of officers and soldiers, but then he became even more excited.

Because he saw that the flag that the official army fought was the Black Panther Flag of the Left Guard of Yulin.

Moreover, there is a big word "Li" written on the front banner.

He had learned from the letter sent by Zhu Heng, the chief of the Prince Yong's palace, that day, that he saved Song Mu, and that it was Li Xu, the new General of the Left Guard of Yulin.

Since then, he has hated Li Xu, and he wished he could cut him into pieces to relieve the hatred in his heart.

Because of his hatred of Li Xu, the entire Yulin Left Guard was included in his necessary elimination list.

Unexpectedly, he set up an ambush today, and the prey he was waiting for was the enemy he had been thinking about day and night these days. This surprised and happy. He shouted in his heart that God opened his eyes and gave him a chance to take revenge.

When enemies meet, they are particularly popular.

Since Li Xu personally led his troops to kill him, it is even more impossible for him to let him go.

Yang Wenrui was filled with murderous intent, but his face was calm, and he continued to observe the movements of the government army.

A moment later, a team of more than a dozen officials and cavalrymen came into the canyon, slowly moving towards the depths of the canyon.

The knights on the horse rode their horses slowly while looking up at the cliffs on both sides of the canyon.

Yang Wenrui hurriedly ordered the soldiers to hide their voices, so as not to be discovered by the official army and result in failure.

"What did General Li find out?"

Zheng Yaoxian followed Li Xu, looking around and asking casually.

Li Xu also looked around and replied casually: "It seems that everything is normal."

It is indeed normal to enter the canyon, and there is no feedback in his system minimap.

The only small gray dots that occasionally move are just some wild animals in the mountains.

But Li Xu did not relax his warning at all and continued to follow Zhang Long and slowly walk towards the depths of the canyon.

Zhang Long followed Li Xu's instructions and did not look back at him, but continued to look at the cliff walls on both sides.

This kind of canyon is most suitable for ambushing, and no one who leads troops will take it lightly.

After walking about hundreds of steps forward, Li Xu suddenly looked like he looked in a certain direction on the cliff.

A ray of light flashed across the cliff.

The system minimap shows that there are dense red dots arranged on the cliff walls on both sides of the canyon and they are motionless.

Yang Wenrui, this guy, really set up an ambush here and waited for me to fall into the trap!

It seems that this guy has a rare thing like a telescope in his hand, and he has a good range of things.

If this guy had a sniper rifle in his hand, wouldn’t he come to give him a head?

His thoughts instantly dissipated and then pulled back again. Li Xu's expression returned to calm, and he continued to ride his horse forward without hesitation.

Zheng Yaoxian, who was standing beside him, captured the change in Li Xu's expression just now, and his heart was also moved.

Did this person discover something?

But Zheng Yaoxian opened his eyes wide and looked in the direction Li Xu had just looked, but his eyes were sore but he didn't notice anything abnormal.

Li Xu and his party walked more than two hundred steps before turning back.

Yang Wenrui felt relieved when he saw the team of official cavalry below retreating from the canyon.

For some reason, one of the soldiers looked in his direction just now. He didn't know if it was an illusion or something, but he always felt that the handsome soldier seemed to smile at him.

Could it be that he discovered something?

It is absolutely impossible. At such a long distance, you can see clearly with this thousand-mile mirror. What can a small officer and soldier discover?

Yang Wenrui quickly suppressed this inappropriate thought in his mind and continued to observe the movements of the officers and soldiers at the valley entrance.

In the valley mouth, Li Xu specially summoned his generals to a hidden corner and ordered: "As I expected, the rebels did set up ambush on the cliff and wait for our army to enter the hub."

The generals were shocked, and Zheng Yaoxian looked even more surprised.

I want to ask, but I know that it is not advisable to talk too much at this time.

The General Li Zhonglang seems to have an extremely keen perception of danger, and the last time the rescue of Song Xiang has proved this.

Li Xu said with a confident look: "My judgment will never be wrong. After you go down, you will continue to let the soldiers rest, and wait until the sun is westward to wait for the general's order. Luan Licheng, Wu Tingjia, you two are ready to prepare and prepare more ropes and other climbing objects. When the main force of the army is out into the valley, you two lead your troops to climb from both sides of the canyon and lurk behind the rebels. When you hear the sound of whistling, you will immediately attack. When you encounter Yang Wenrui, try to catch them as much as possible."

Everyone looked excited and they all took the order in a deep voice.

After all the generals went down to prepare, Zheng Yaoxian asked in confusion: "Since the general is sure that the rebels set up an ambush on the cliff, why don't they attack at this time? Instead, they have to wait until the sun is westward?"

Li Xu smiled and said, "It's very simple. I just want those thieves to bask in the sun for a while."

Zheng Yaoxian: “…”
