Chapter 13 Conspiracy
Xiao Yunxia waved his hand and said, "Mr. Zhang is joking again. If you can ask Lord Zhang's disciples for advice, that is the blessing they have cultivated. Gushan is ready, and the city lord's army must have arrived, right?"
Zhang Baojie said lightly, "Well, 20,000 tiger guards are waiting at the foot of Guishan." Xiao Yunxia picked up the wine glass, smiled slightly, and said, "In this way, our brothers have a drink first. No matter who wins or loses, it will not hurt the harmony."
Zhang Baojie raised his glass and said, "Victory and defeat are common in military affairs. How can there be only one who can win and be invincible in the world?" Xiao Yunxia laughed and said, "It's so good, then let's finish this cup and start?"
Zhang Baojie smiled and said, "It's just that." The two looked at each other and smiled, raised their heads and drank sake in the toast. Xiao Yunxia said to the three young players, "You guys go down and prepare!"
Suddenly, I heard a tender voice beside me saying, "General... I want to participate in the trial too." Xiao Yunxia was surprised. He turned around and saw a childish face standing motionless.
Lu Xue saw at a glance that it was Zhao Lingjun, but she didn't know why he asked so. Xiao Yunxia smiled and asked, "What's your name?"
Zhao Lingjun replied, "The disciple is named Zhao Lingjun, he is a disciple of the Eagle Guard." Xiao Yunxia said, "Oh, why do you want to participate in the trial?"
Zhao Lingjun was nervous, his face turned red, he looked at the people around him and blurted out, "For...For...For the honor of the Eagle Guard!"
As soon as he said this, everyone present calmed down and burst into laughter. Xiao Yunxia and Zhang Baojie couldn't help but smile, and their eyes couldn't help but look at the ordinary little disciple in front of him.
Xiao Yunxia smiled and said, "Okay, okay, since you have such ambitions, that's too rare. There is no shortage of food for you alone, go and prepare!"
Zhao Lingjun was overjoyed and quickly knelt down and bowed, saying, "Thank you, General!" He stood up and followed Wang Yi, Lu Xue and others out of the hall together.
As soon as the four of them left the Flying Eagle Hall, they immediately relaxed. Lu Xue looked at Zhao Lingjun and smiled and said, "Yes, a little brat. He actually took the initiative to win the qualification for trial."
Zhao Lingjun's face turned red and said, "Sister Lu, don't make fun of me, I just want to learn more from all the seniors."
Hu Fei was generous and laughed and said, "This opportunity is really rare! We must do our best! We must not let down the general's high expectations."
Wang Yi's face was as deep as water, and he didn't move at all, saying, "We are guarding a lonely mountain this time. Although it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is difficult to maintain it for a long time when it is far away from the water source. Once surrounded, the six thousand soldiers will definitely not last for three days."
Lu Xuedao "Yes, I've seen the terrain of that mountain. Only 10,000 people can surround and annihilate. We only have one day food and grass, so we can't keep it for a long time."
When Zhao Lingjun heard their conversation, he was almost the same as what Chen Yiling said, and couldn't help but admire her even more. Hu Fei said, "We don't have to just defend but not attack. I'm willing to be the vanguard. I rushed down the mountain and beat him up, and it was a mess!"
Wang Yi nodded and said, "Junior Brother Hu is commendable. This trial lasts for five days, but only gives us one day of military rations. It is to test our ability to break through. The enemy is large and we are few, so we must be smart."
Zhao Lingjun looked at Wang Yi and saw that he looked calm and said lightly, and did not take the tens of thousands of soldiers of the enemy seriously.
I admire Wang Yi's courage in my heart. When I looked back by chance, I saw Lu Xue also staring at Wang Yi, her eyes different from him.
Zhao Lingjun quickly looked away, and his heart seemed to be stabbed by something. He couldn't help but wonder why he felt like this. Could it be that he had an inappropriate thought about Senior Sister Lu?
Zhao Lingjun was confused when he thought about this. He was immediately confused. The three people next to him were saying something. He didn't hear clearly. The four walked to the foot of the mountain. Six thousand Eagle Guard disciples were ready to go. In order to prevent real damage, their weapons were replaced with wooden swords and wooden swords. Even the feather arrows were sharply cut off and the arrow tip was wrapped in cotton cloth to prevent shooting.
Zhao Lingjun was naturally inconspicuous when he was arranged among the disciples. As the commander of this trial, Wang Yi briefly told the six thousand disciples, led everyone up the mountain and stationed in the prepared camp.
Zhao Lingjun and more than a dozen Eagle Guard disciples were crowded in the same camp. He listened to their laughing and discussing the trial, but he couldn't get interested at all.
What he was thinking at this time was that Senior Sister Lu must be discussing plans with Senior Brother Hu and Senior Brother Wang to fight against the enemy. Thinking of Lu Xue's gaze at Wang Yi before going up the mountain, a nameless fire rose.
As it was getting late, Zhao Lingjun was lying in the tent. Suddenly, he felt a squeaking sound in his ears and a stone shaking. He hurriedly sat up. Someone outside shouted, "The Tiger Guards are here! Hurry up and defend the enemy!"
Zhao Lingjun picked up the wooden sword and rushed out with the soldiers in the same tent, and according to the usual training formation, he guarded the Gushan Mountain.
Looking around, I saw that the tiger guards were covered with darkness at the foot of the mountain, no less than 10,000 people. Wang Yi and Lu Xue stood in front of everyone, Lu Xue frowned slightly and said, "Senior Brother Wang, there should be about 15,000 Tiger Guards at the foot of the mountain."
Wang Yi glanced lightly and said, "Well, it's not bad. They surrounded Gushan so quickly. The lineup was rigorous and not messy at all. This shows that the generals in command should not be underestimated."
Lu Xue nodded and asked, "What are the good plans for Senior Brother Wang?" Wang Yi said, "I have sent Hu Fei Pioneer to test the truth and reality, and I will know later."
Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the mountain pass. Hu Fei returned to the camp with a hundred disciples, turned over and dismounted, and said, "Senior Brother Wang, Senior Sister Lu, I figured it out."
Wang Yi waved his hand and said, "No, drink a bowl of water first." He waved his hand and asked someone to bring a bowl of clear water. Hu Fei answered, "Thank you, Senior Brother Wang!" He raised his head and drank it all, wiped his mouth, and continued, "I went down the mountain to fight with the Hu Guard, and they had gains and losses. However, I figured out that the general of the army on the opposite side was Kang Hongrui. He was said to be quite talented and could memorize Sun Wu's military strategy when he was a teenager. His deputy general was a woman, and he was said to be his wife who had not passed the door, named Tan Huiying. Although this person was a woman, he was also quite well-versed in military tactics. Locals often compared her with Huang Yueying in ancient times."
After hearing this, Wang Yi thought for a while and said, "I understand, how many brothers have we lost this time?" Hu Fei said, "Our soldiers were captured more than 100, but I also captured more than 100 Tiger Guards!"
Wang Yi patted his shoulder and said, "Well, thank you for your hard work. I told someone to settle the captured Tiger Guards, so that they should not let others suffer any grievances."
Hu Fei bowed and said, "Abide by the order!" He went straight to arrange what Wang Yi ordered. Wang Yi looked at the iron barrel-like tiger guard at the foot of the mountain, his eyebrows were calm and said to Lu Xue, "Junior Sister Lu, please lead a thousand troops to the mountainside. Tonight, I expect the tiger guards to come to a surprise attack at night. At that time, I will ask Hu Fei to bring people to welcome the enemy, pretend to be defeated and return, lure the enemy deep into the mountain, and you are killing you when you see the opportunity."
Lu Xue looked solemn, pressed the hilt of the sword with his hand and said, "Lu Xue obeys the order!" He turned around and ordered a thousand disciples to sneak into the mountainside to ambush.
Wang Yi waved his hand and said, "Let the rest of your brothers go back, have a good rest tonight. There will be a big battle in the past two days. At that time, I hope everyone will fight bravely to fight the enemy." Everyone agreed in unison.
Zhao Lingjun held a strong bow in his hand and pointed it at the mountainside. When he heard Lu Xue leave, he felt disappointed. He really wanted to throw down the bow and arrow to chase him, but the military order was there, so he could only withdraw his tent, looking at the sunset in the sky with depression, his mind was filled with Lu Xue's frown and smile.
When the moon reaches the middle of the sky, most of the eagle guards in the camp on the mountain are asleep, and only one team is responsible for the mountain guards. The night wind is gentle, and the willow leaves on the mountain move slightly.
Wang Yi sat in the main tent of the central army, closed his eyes and focused, as if thinking about something. Suddenly, a guard rushed into the outside of the tent and shouted, "Report! General, the Tiger Guards are attacking the left wing of our mountain!"
Wang Yi opened his eyes slightly and said, "I understand, I send the Pioneer Hu Fei to come and tell him that he is only allowed to lose, not win, and put the enemy into the mountains." The guard bowed and agreed and slowly retreated.
Wang Yi smiled slightly. As expected, the Tiger Guards robbed the camp at night, and let them lose a little first, and they were defeated.
Turning around and taking off the sword, just as he was about to tie it up, suddenly, he heard the footsteps behind him, and another person broke into the tent and said, "General! The Tiger Guards attacked the north of our mountain, where the defense is weak, and the defenders are in a hurry!"
Wang Yi turned his back to the man and whispered, "Don't panic, you ordered the two squads of soldiers next to the camp to reinforce the brothers on the north side, and let the two squads of brothers on the south side strengthen the guards on the south side."
The man said "Yes!" and quickly left the tent. Wang Yi tied his long sword around his waist, frowned, and always felt that the use of Tiger Guards in such a way could not be a superficial trick of fighting against the east and the west.
Wang Yi looked at the map of Gushan hanging on the wall. Although Gushan is not connected by other mountains, the terrain is steep and easy to defend but difficult to attack.
If you want to attack from all sides, you must use all 20,000 troops. The opponent's general would not be so stupid. Wang Yi squinted his eyes and looked at the map on the wall carefully. Suddenly he saw a slender arc that winds and turns from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain.
During the day, he looked around the map of Gushan and did not find this thin line. At this moment, under the candlelight, the thin line seemed particularly obvious.
Outside the camp, Zhao Lingjun sat on a stone, looked up at the jade plate in the sky, holding the hilt of the sword in his hand, his mind full of Lu Xue's smile in Baitian.
Senior Sister Lu’s smile at Senior Brother Wang has been with her for many years and has never seen her before. The more Zhao Lingjun thought about it, the more depressed he became, and could not resist reaching out to kick a small stone next to him.
The small stone stumbled and rolled down the weed piles, making a crisp sound. Zhao Lingjun didn't care at first, but after a while, the sound of the stone stumbled was still vaguely audible.
Zhao Lingjun stood up curiously, patted the dust behind him, and went to the mountain to take a look. He saw weeds growing beside the steep stone wall, and a quiet path was vaguely visible.
