Six Hundred and Thirty: Let Go of that Coach, Let Me Do It (7)

There is a small town near the border between Kinmen County and Fenghu County. The predecessor of this small town was just a small village in the deep mountains.

During the turbulent period of the Sixteen Kingdoms, a mountain road connecting the two counties was built here. With frequent commercial trade, this place also became a good place for merchants to rest and stay, and gradually gathered into a small town with a large population. In the middle of the Great Xia Dynasty, the government recruited corvée labor to build the official road.

The official road is flat and wide. In contrast, the mountain road is rugged and narrow, and the surface is bumpy.

Soon, the mountain road was abandoned, and the popularity gathered by the mountain road also dissipated.

Today, this small town was forcibly occupied by the Red Lotus Sect and became a sentinel point.

Jiang Pengji led the army to approach here, and found several enemy scouts along the way, all of which were killed by the Vanguard Camp.

However, the Red Lotus Sect developed from the grassroots people. If they really wanted to spy on the situation, it would be hard to prevent.

When Jiang Pengji was only half an hour away from the town, the news was also passed back to the heartland of the Red Lotus Sect.

After hearing this, the Red Lotus Sect Leader summoned his trusted scholar to ask for advice.

The scholar was used to finding An Xuan as a gunman. He comforted the Sect Leader on the surface, but secretly wrote down the information in his heart.

"This matter is quite suspicious, and Liu Xi is a treacherous and cunning person. I am afraid there is a trick." The scholar pretended to be profound and tried to coax the Red Lotus Sect Leader, "Sect Leader, let me go back and think about this matter. I will definitely give you a reply in two hours at most."

As soon as the Red Lotus Sect Leader agreed, the scholar hurried back to find the popular An Xuan for advice.

An Xuan has a script here. He was overjoyed to learn that Jiang Pengji attacked the town according to the original plan.

He showed a solemn look and asked suspiciously, "What's so special about that small town? Why did Liu Xi attack it?"

The scholar responded, "Yes, that place is very spooky, and there are birds of prey everywhere. Does Liu Xi want to go into the mountains to feed mosquitoes?"

It's unconventional to attack without taking the official road in a war.

An Xuan rubbed his brows with a slight headache. This was not his acting, he really had a headache.

Pig-like teammates, the Red Lotus Cult wants to play better than Jiang Pengji with such a low level?

Go to bed and sleep,

Dreams have everything.

The scholar did not give An Xuan a way out, he could only improvise and continue to act out the script.

An Xuan thought and thought, and finally "had an idea", and suddenly realized it, and the movement scared the scholar.

"I thought of it!"

An Xuan's face was full of uncontrollable ecstasy.

He said, "That small town is located near Kinmen County and Fenghu County. Liu Xi wants to use a surprise attack on one of the counties!"

However, the scholar's IQ could not keep up with the pace, and he asked An Xuan foolishly, "Is that so? But that place is full of mountains. I don't know how much time it will take to cross the mountains and ridges. If you want to launch a fast-paced attack, it is more reliable to take the official road directly."

An Xuan: "..."

No, this script is too difficult to act.

An Xuan said, "No, no, no - I heard that there is a mountain road that has been idle for many years, connecting Kinmen County and Fenghu County."

Scholar: "!!!"

His first reaction was to immediately send someone to block the mountain road, but An Xuan poured a basin of cold water on him.

"It's too late. I guess the town has been captured by now. Besides, there is more than one exit on the mountain road. We can't block it at all. We may be surrounded by the enemy in the opposite direction. This strategy is too risky."

The scholar seemed to have grabbed the last floating wood and hurriedly said, "Please give me a good plan, sir."

Before, the scholar ordered An Xuan around, but now he called him "sir".

An Xuan was not angry either. He acted professionally and said, "Although there are several exits on the mountain road, it only connects Kinmen County and Fenghu County. This is beyond doubt. According to the original plan, we only need to send heavy troops to delay time. When they can't help but retreat, we will encircle them from the rear and block their retreat on the mountain road first. In this way, we can catch the turtle in the jar and win a great victory!"

Listening to the blueprint described by An Xuan, the scholar's uneasy little heart returned to its original position.

"Sir, you are a talented person. I will certainly speak well of you in front of the leader. By then, you will be promoted to a high position and receive generous salary."

Some people are good at speaking, such as Jiang Pengji, while some people are not good at speaking but think they are good at speaking, such as this scholar.

If An Xuan was not acting, he would have been so angry that he would be furious.

The scholar first praised An Xuan, and then asked carefully, "In your opinion, which one will Liu Xi focus on attacking?"

Since the mountain road connects Fenghu County and Kinmen County, Liu Xi's target should be one of these two counties.

With a probability of one in two, which one is it?

An Xuan thought about the script and said, "I have carefully thought about the situation of the mountain road. The mountain road leading to Kinmen County is too long. If a surprise attack is carried out, I don't know how much physical strength will be consumed and the marching time will be too long. The mountain road leading to Fenghu County is relatively short, and the distance is only half of Kinmen County. Comparing the two, I conclude that Liu Xi's target must be Fenghu County!"

The scholar nodded as he listened.

Listening to An Xuan's words is better than reading ten years of books.

After a while, he said with emotion, "This Liu Xi is really cunning and evil... Although I am a local of Chengde County, I didn't know there was an abandoned mountain road there... It's too remote. If it weren't for your great talent and familiarity with geography, Liu Xi might have succeeded. But now... We will use the same trick to capture Liu Xi alive and let him die with his troops and generals!"

An Xuan showed a mysterious smile at the corner of his lips, and the scholar also showed a tacit smile.

The scholar comforted An Xuan and turned to ask for credit.

He copied An Xuan's words almost verbatim and proposed to the Red Lotus Sect Leader, "... Opportunities are rare and will never come again. If we can capture Liu Xi in one fell swoop now, we will have no worries. Sect Leader, for our great plan, we must be ruthless."

The Red Lotus Sect Leader asked him, "Tell me what you think."

The scholar's face was slightly ferocious, his tone was indifferent, but his mind was very vicious. He said, "Sect Leader, why don't we transfer the personnel of Kinmen County to Fenghu County, wait for Liu Xi to attack and fail, and send people to attack the small town when he is not prepared, and then block the mountain road from the rear to catch the turtle in the jar? If we can capture Liu Xi alive, it would be great. If not, we will besiege them and slowly grind them to death."

Under the shadow, the scholar's face looked very cold.

The Red Lotus Sect Leader thought about it and thought that this plan was very good.

"Military Advisor, you are so smart. This time, we must make sure that Liu Xi will never come back!"

Although the small town is a sentry post of the Red Lotus Cult, there are not many people in it. There are only a few hundred people scattered around, and they can't even organize an effective defense. The highest point of the city wall is only a little over ten feet high. Who can be stopped at such a height?

Jiang Pengji held a spear and rode on a horse.

Xiaobai stepped on people with the same force as Dabai. With one hoof, his sternum was broken.

She rushed to the front, and Yang Si's eyelids jumped, fearing that she would be hit by a stray arrow.

Of course, this was impossible.
