Turning to Long Ying, he said: "Brother! We have to separate temporarily. I will return to Longyi tomorrow morning and leave two thousand people for you. Tian Mu Jinfang and Lin Zhuang will go with you. Of course, you two good brothers are indispensable."
He then said to Tian Mu Jinfang and Lin Zhuang: "This time, Lord Ying is under full command, and you are just planning the march for him. Do you understand?"
The two of them happily agreed.
Hengkong Makino smiled hoarsely and said: "This is the first time that Mei Xiunaf disobeyed me, but after she sneaked away to meet you, I couldn't be angry with her. When I saw her just now, I almost wanted to praise her for sneaking away well. It was a wonderful slip, but I just endured it and didn¡¯t say it out loud.¡±
Everyone smiled.
Wan Renyu said: "That kind of worry is indescribable. I'm afraid that she can't find you, which means you can't sneak to the plateau. I'm also afraid that if she finds you, it will alert the enemy. The west side belongs to the enemy's forces. , traveling thousands of miles is really difficult to achieve."
Feng Guoting said: "We also guessed that you would use the terrifying environment of Qiangtang to avoid the enemy's pursuit. We just didn't expect that you would be able to push back the pursuing troops of the opponent's brigade."
Hengkong Makino said enthusiastically: "How did you do it?"
Long Ying said: "I was fighting and falling in love at the same time. Ha! Qiangtang is not that scary, and there are fresh fish to feed me from time to time. What I am most afraid of is the desert. I tremble when I hear the word 'desert'. If The prince doesn¡¯t mind, please let Mexiunafu come with me.¡±
Hengkong Makino said: "She is your woman, you can do whatever you like without my consent, brother. Ha!"
Wan Renyu touched his stomach and said happily: "It's time for wildfire barbecue! Let's heal our stomachs while listening to the best storyteller in Middle-earth tell us how to escape in the desert in his usual exaggerated and unrealistic way. , crossed the blockade, climbed onto the plateau, and then crossed thousands of miles. How about the touching process of going from the west to the east of the plateau? "
Everyone left the tent with a smile and went out, ending the military meeting that decided the future fate of the plateau.
Two thousand elite soldiers headed by Long Ying advanced at full speed, and mules and yaks formed a team to transport grain and supplies, slowly coming from the rear. Two days later, they arrived at the eastern end of Hoh Xil Mountain and set up camp.
There is a windy condor acting as a spy, and there is no sign of trouble within a hundred miles. It cannot be hidden from its sharp eyes overlooking the earth. Vultures that live on the plateau can be seen everywhere in this area. Some of them are closer to condors in size, so they are invisible to the enemy.
Dragon Eagle¡¯s men took a good rest and recharged their batteries to cope with the upcoming war. He, Wan Renyu, Feng Guoting and the blonde beauty who refused to leave for a moment rode towards the Tuotuo River.
To get here from Bowo, you must cross the Tanggula Pass, so once you master the enemy's strategy. The entire route has been calculated, and there is no need to worry about missing the enemy.
"Four people and three horses, galloping freely on the grassland, it's so enjoyable. We didn't stop to rest until we reached the hills and mountains northeast of Tuotuo River.
The four of them were sitting on a high pile of rocks, watching the magnificent sunset on the plateau.
Mei Xiunafu was polite and did not sit on Long Ying's lap. She leaned against him and said, "We started from the source of the Yellow River and returned to the source of the great river!"
Wan Renyu, who was sitting on the other side of Longying, nodded and said: "It feels really weird, it makes you feel more open-minded, and you know you will never return to what you were before. This is called experience."
Feng Guoting stood up, walked a few steps to the other side, stepped on a big stone, raised his head to look for the trace of the beloved eagle, and heard the words: "Only we three brothers know that we can watch the sunset together here. Tuohe River is such a precious thing, and only after birth and death can it be so profound and moving in feeling."
Wan Renyu said: "Master Feng's words are very interesting. We are friends in times of need, and now we can fight side by side on the highest grassland on earth. At this point in our lives, what else do we want?"
Mexiunafu said intoxicatedly: "What you said is so beautiful."
Long Ying looked away and carefully examined her contours, which were as sharp as a spiritual mountain and as sharp as a knife, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, Meixiu Nafu met her younger brother first, otherwise she would definitely marry one of them."
Wan Renyu laughed dumbly and said: "Young man really knows how to flatter you. This sentence is the best form of flattery. Just take a look at the beauty of Meixunaf, and it will be like the source of the river. You will never forget it."
Mexiunafu was coaxed into laughing like silver bells.
Feng Guoting said: "Ying'er has discovered something!"
The three of them looked south. Against the backdrop of the continuous snowy peaks rising from the horizon of the Tanggula Mountains, the condor kept expanding from a small black spot and flew towards them.
Arriving above them, the condor circled a few times before swooping down and landing at the elbow of the wind-bent court.??Mighty and mighty.
Meishunafu couldn't help but ask: "Where did Mr. Feng get such a sensible giant eagle?"
Feng Guoting avoided answering, with a sad look on his face, and said seriously: "I'll tell Meixiu Nafu when I have the chance." He turned to Long Ying and Wan Renyu and said: "The enemy's vanguard is coming. Not much, it¡¯s just for exploring the path.¡±
Wan Renyu felt relieved and said: "I was worried just now that the enemy would not come, but now I can rest assured! Young Master Long is indeed as good at predicting the enemy as he is like a god."
Feng Guoting said: "The enemy is very capable, he came so fast."
Long Ying said: "If you can see the enemy's vanguard before sunrise, the outcome will be decided. It depends on how many of them can leave alive."
A long gust of wind blew, and the chill suddenly increased, reminding them that the plateau is in two extreme days and nights, hot and cold. This moment is the dividing line between hot and cold.
Feng Guoting agreed: "That's right. If the enemy keeps traveling day and night and doesn't set up camp to rest until they reach the south bank of the Tuotuo River, they will be exhausted and unable to withstand our surprise attack."
Wan Renyu said to Long Ying: "According to your estimate, when will the enemy's main army arrive?"
Long Ying pondered: "Since mules and yaks walk slowly, it will be very efficient to arrive at the Tuotuo River before dusk tomorrow. It can be imagined that due to Doma being cut off by the prince, there is a lack of food and supplies, and he has to deal with the people returning from the south. With so many soldiers, this time the enemy's surprise troops will also have the heavy responsibility of transporting supplies and food."
Feng Guoting said: "In this case, the enemy will camp on the south bank of the Tuotuo River, have a good rest, wait for the troops and horses to regain their strength, and then cross the Tuotuo River."
Wan Renyu said: "Should Tian Mu Jinfang and Lin Zhuang be notified immediately?"
Long Ying cast his gaze towards the Tuotuo River and said with a smile: "This place is clearly visible. What we see, they can also see. What's more, we have drawn up a battle plan in advance so that they can rest peacefully and sneak over under the cover of darkness tomorrow night." To be appropriate.¡±
Wan Renyu said: "The enemy has set up camp near the river, and our troops have to cross the wide and fast Tuotuo River before they can launch an attack."
Long Ying said leisurely: "The enemy will build bridges and roads to let us go, so why worry about crossing the river? Before coming here, they crossed the Nu River, which is at least twice as big as the Tuotuo River. They have rich experience!"
Mei Xiu Nafu said close to his ear: "Seeing the air of you talking, laughing and fighting, Mei Xiu Nafu is moved!"
Long Ying was both sweet and afraid of being overheard by the two of them, so he continued quickly, saying: "So we can have a good sleep tonight, and we will talk about everything tomorrow. If an enemy approaches, I will wake up naturally."
Feng Guoting smiled and said: "You can rest assured and keep talking to Meixiu Nafu and continue to talk about endless love. I leave the responsibility of monitoring the enemy to my good eagle. If there is any abnormality, he will wake me up."
Mei Xiunafu twisted her delicate body in disbelief and said angrily: "Master Feng eavesdropped on what others were saying."
Wan Renyu laughed loudly, and walked towards the distance with Feng Guoting, saying: "Let's go to sleep on another mountain, so as not to overhear the pillow talk that Meixiu Nafu said to Long Xiaozi."
Early the next morning, a vanguard of about 200 people arrived at the Tuotuo River and sent out reconnaissance cavalry to search along the bank. Others set up more than a dozen tents on the south bank to detect the depth and ease of the river.
Longying and others are still hiding in the sparse forest in the hilly area on the other side, watching the activities of the enemies on the other side.
Wan Renyu asked: "Is it time?"
Long Ying said calmly: "Let them rest for two more nights, it is better than staying here with us in the cold."
Feng Guoting smiled and said: "What you said is unreasonable, but I know you have other evil ideas."
Wan Renyu said: "Do I have to insist on your words before I am willing to speak?"
Long Ying looked out of the stone and said with a smile: "How dare you, little brother? I just want to wait for the enemy to build a pontoon bridge, some people have crossed the river, and when the sky is halfway to the ground, I will use my unique skills. The goal is to not waste a single soldier. But we won an overall victory that reversed the situation on the entire plateau."
"My lord, my lord! How could it not be damaged? The enemy's strength is far greater than ours!"
Long Ying said easily: "Didn't you hear clearly, beauty? I said not to waste a single soldier, not to fight the enemy."
Feng Guoting said happily: "I've seen through early that you have another trick."
Long Ying said: "War has its means, and politics has its political skills. What do you mean by politics? No matter what nonsense his grandma makes, he must speak it out with dignity, as if it is a matter of course. What's more, what I'm talking about is Righteousness, combined with overwhelming advantages, guarantees success. Ha! Is there anything more satisfying than using political means to resolve a war?"
WanrenyuFeng Guoting finally understood.
By the afternoon, the enemy's army arrived one after another. They set up camps along the Tuotuo River, established simple but effective defenses, and posted sentries at high places, showing the majesty of an elite division and its military appearance.
At dusk, a large group of mules and yaks came with loads of goods. The vast area on the south bank was filled with the sound of mules, cattle and horses neighing, and it was as lively as a market.
Wan Renyu exclaimed: "It's just yaks, there are more than three thousand."
Feng Guoting said: "The number of people is even higher than our estimate, close to 25,000, but this group of people is already strong enough to attack Zhonglongyi."
Long Ying said: "The more people, the better. Ha! It's easier to do things when there are more people!"
Wan Renyu lost interest in laughing and said in a deep voice: "What if your political methods don't work?"
Long Ying¡¯s eyes suddenly glowed with magic, and he said: ¡°That means their birth date was not good and they were unable to go home to reunite with their wives and children.¡± (To be continued)
