    Chapter 460: High Five and Oath

    Da Quan took a few flying fish robes out for a day and a night, and didn't come back until the next day.  Originally, one of the things Mouliangbi announced after taking office was to withdraw the troops. The army was already preparing to return to the mountain stronghold, but it was postponed for another day because of Fang Jie's worries.  Sun Kaidao believed that if Li Xiaozong wanted to kill Liangbi, he could only do it with the rebels' knives, and Jiazigou was the most suitable place for an ambush. The road was narrow and curved. If the team in front turned around, the team behind would not be able to do it at all.  Just can't see it.

    "If the rebels set up an ambush here, it would be difficult to rescue them even if Li Xiaozong would not support them in time.

    "We don't need to go through Jiazigou. Although it's a long way around by taking the main road, it's a flat river. Unless Chen Bing intercepts the rebels, they can attack them openly. Jiazigou will save us at least ten days of travel, but if there is an ambush, it will be really bad for us.  Cope with it. That terrain the team can't move at all. It's like a line, and they can't look at each other. If they are attacked, it will be difficult to support them. The road at the entrance of Jiazi Valley is narrow, but it is slightly wider inside.  The gourd-like terrain is the most dangerous. Once the rebels close the door and block it, they will only be massacred. "

    Cui Zhongzhen pointed to the map and said: "In my opinion, I would rather not take this credit than walk through Jiazigou."

    Mou Liangbi nodded: "This terrain is indeed too dangerous."

    He glanced at Fang Jie and said: "Although the mountains on both sides of Jiazi Valley are not high and the slope is not too steep, if the rebels are condescending, just dropping their arrows will be enough to cause heavy losses to our people. General Fang, I  I know your people are well-trained, but if this battle can be avoided, try your best not to fight it. Our food and grass will be no problem for another ten days, and we will still be rich even if we take a detour back to the village."

    Fang Jie nodded, glanced at the big dog and said, "Tell Mr. Mou what you learned."

    The big dog responded, cleared his throat and said: "I quietly went over with a few flying fish robes, and indeed found traces of the rebels in Jiazigou. However, I couldn't see how many troops there were. The forest on the hillside was very dense.  My people don¡¯t dare to get too close. It¡¯s certain that the Jiazigou rebels are ambushing them.¡±

    Fang Jie pointed at Sun Kaidao and said: "Mr. Sun previously speculated that if Li Xiaozong wanted to absolutely control the team, he would definitely want to kill you, sir. He first planned to let General Cui lead a team of people from the Zhechong camp to attack the rebels. He should have already fought with  Meng Wansui has some contacts, and General Cui must be killed in this battle. However, because General Cui did not fight this battle because of Li Xiaozong's defeat, Meng Wansui's side must have been alert. "

    "Even if we control most of Li Xiaozong's cronies, the news of Li Xiaozong's murder has not spread. Since Meng Wansui is more important under Li Yuanshan than Yin Poshan, it means that this person is not an ordinary person.  . In this case, he must be thinking, is the ambush in Jiazigou still necessary? "

    After Fang Jie said this, Cui Zhongzhen and Mou Liangbi were stunned for a moment, as did other Sui army generals, who all turned their attention to Fang Jie.

    "Li Xiaozong first arranged for General Cui to lead troops to attack the rebel west camp and take the opportunity to get rid of General Cui. Then he asked Mr. Mou to withdraw from Jiazigou with the logistics and took the opportunity to kill Mr. Mou. Let's just assume that Li Xiaozong  It¡¯s arranged like this¡­¡±

    Fang Jie glanced at everyone: "Well, General Cui was supposed to lead troops to attack the rebel camp the day before yesterday, but General Cui didn't go. Meng Wansui waited for a day. If he didn't wait, he would definitely send someone to contact Li Xiaozong to inquire. Li Xiaozong  There was a close confidant named Liu Silang beside him. When Li Xiaozong was searching for him, he was not found. He asked the soldiers on duty in the camp and found out that this person had left the camp the day before. Liu Silang told the soldiers on duty that he would serve Li.  Xiaozong ordered to go out to the camp to investigate the enemy's situation, but Liu Silang never came back"

    "If Li Xiaozong sent Liu Silang to contact Meng Wansui, then Meng Wansui would definitely send him back to inquire. Liu Silang never showed up, so there is only one possibility The rebels already knew about Li Xiaozong's murder.  I have many experts from the Ouchi Guards, and they are the best at investigating cases. I asked them to investigate carefully, and it turned out that not all of Li Xiaozong's soldiers were killed."

    "When I was fighting with Li Xiaozong, someone might have thought the situation was not good and ran away."

    Fang Jie concluded: "So, when Meng Wansui already knew that Li Xiaozong was dead, why did he still set up an ambush in Jiazigou?"

    "Why?"

    Cui Zhongzhen murmured and repeated it, looking at Fang Jie and waiting for the answer.

    "Actually, when you think about it, it's not difficult to guess what happens next."

    Fang Jie smiled.

    He stood up and said: "Li Xiaozong fought with the rebels here for more than a month under the guise of avenging the prince. The rebels lost consecutive battles. Although the loss of men was not too many, Meng Wansui must be heartbroken. Therefore,  He absolutelyHe will watch us go back.  When Li Xiaozong was here, he had colluded with Li Xiaozong. This time he raised troops to take revenge was just a show, just for everyone to see.  But now that Li Xiaozong is dead, how can Meng Wansui still allow us to leave calmly?  "

    "This battle is inevitable."

    Mou Liangbi frowned and said: "There is that Liu Silang in Meng Wansui's army. Even if he knows our team very well, he is not far behind. Know yourself and your enemy. Meng Wansui still has hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands. If he lets us go,  It would be weird to go back.¡±

    Everyone in the big tent frowned, their faces a little heavy.

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    "Jiazi Valley is long and narrow from north to south. It is a canyon in Houwu Mountain. But because this mountain is relatively gentle, it is called Jiazi Valley by the locals. Houwu Mountain and Langru Mountain run east-west and north-south and are not connected."

    Returning to his military tent, Fang Jie pointed to the map and said to his men: "If we don't go through Jiazigou, we will have to go around half of Houwu Mountain, which will take ten more days."

    Chen Bishan looked at the map: "If the information Mr. Shang inquired about is correct, it seems that Meng Wansui did not intend to give up control of Jiazigou. Now think about it, it was because of Meng Wansui that the Sui army came over from Jiazigou unharmed.  The reason for the collusion with Li Xiaozong. At first, I didn¡¯t understand why Meng Wansui didn¡¯t take advantage of such a dangerous terrain when the Sui army first came.¡±

    "Li Xiaozong is also a member of Li Yuanshan, so Meng Wansui didn't take action."

    Lu Fenghou said: "But now that Li Xiaozong is dead, Meng Wansui has no reason not to take action."

    He hesitated and asked, ¡°Do we really want to go through Jiazi Ditch?¡±

    "Walk"

    Fang Jie nodded: "I have already discussed with Mr. Mou, General Cui, and the teams will march separately. We will go through Jiazi ditch for the suspects, and the whole group will go back through the main road. Of course, we don't have to go through Jiazi ditch, as long as we go through Jiazi ditch  Just make a sign to leave from Jiazi ditch to confuse the rebels."

    Zhuo Buyi hesitated for a moment: "Ifif the rebels knew that we were just suspects and that the large group of troops had taken a detour to leave via the main road, then what we would have to face was the rebels' crazy revenge. If it were me, Long Live Meng,  After being deceived, we will never let these five thousand people go again. With the strong strength of the rebel army of hundreds of thousands, it will be easy to swallow up these five thousand people. "

    "It's really too dangerous."

    Sun Kaidao glanced at everyone: "But if you can trust me, I guarantee that there will be no problem if we walk through Jiazigou."

    "Why?"

    Lu Fenghou asked.

    Sun Kaidao tightened his leather jacket, sat down next to the stove, and fiddled with the fire with his chopsticks while saying: "If nothing happens, there will be no danger even if we walk through Jiazigou. If you are brave enough,  , it¡¯s no problem to lead the soldiers across the Jiazi ditch while singing.¡±

    "Shen Shen Nao Nao"

    Lu Fenghou rolled his eyes at him. He didn't have a good impression of Sun Kaidao, who was born as a county magistrate. Although he was a good official, he was definitely not an upright official.  As soon as he saw Sun Kaidao, he remembered that this guy even sacrificed his concubine to Yin Poshan to save his life.  A straightforward man like Lu Fenghou would rather die than do such a thing.  Although Fang Jie always called Sun Kaidao his teacher, Lu Fenghou never regarded him as an expert.

    ¡°You said it¡¯s okay if Jiazigou is okay?¡±

    Lu Fenghou said: "Not to mention that Mr. Shang has clearly heard the news about the rebels. Even if there is no rebel found in Jiazigou, we still can't take it lightly. Is it because of your words that everyone will rush in? It's okay if nothing happens. If something happens,  What? Can you bear the weight of five thousand lives?"

    The big dog squatted aside and giggled. He didn't bother to pay attention to the disagreement between Lu Fenghou and Sun Kaidao.  What's beautiful about him is that after so many years, someone finally gave him a serious title.  Fang Jie and the others all called him Big Dog, but Fang Jie's subordinates obviously didn't dare to call him that casually, so they called him Mr. Shang.  These three words made the big dog mad for several months and he still hadn't finished it.

    Chen Bishan rarely stood on the same side as Lu Fenghou: "The general ordered us to obey naturally. It's okay to go to Jiazigou, but we must be well prepared. You can't just go in with your troops just because someone says there is no problem."  If thousands of arrows are fired on the hillside, can someone save everyone?"

    Sun Kaidao smiled and seemed not to care about the sarcasm of Lu Fenghou and Chen Bishan.

    Fang Jie glanced at Sun Kaidao and felt a little relieved when he saw that he was not angry.

    "Since Mr. Sun is so sure, I think it's better to do this."

    Lu Fenghou looked directly into Sun Kaidao¡¯s eyes: ¡°Mr.Let's go first. If Mr. Sun passes through Jiazigou unharmed, it won't be too late for the army to pass by.  Mr. Sun knows things like a god, I can still trust him, so What do you think of Mr. Sun?  "

    Just when Fang Jiejie was about to speak, Sun Kaidao stood up and said, "Okay!"

    "Just do as General Lu says."

    He released his arms and said to the other party: "If the general can trust me, I will be willing to lead a thousand men and horses to pass through first. Once I have passed, it won't be too late for the army to move again."

    "one thousand?"

    Chen Bishan sneered: "That's 20% of the troops. If anything goes wrong"

    "Five hundred"

    Sun Kaidao glanced at him: "Five hundred people are enough."

    Lu Fenghou couldn't help laughing: "Five hundred people want to pretend that tens of thousands of troops are passing by. Mr. Sun doesn't know what to do. Can you tell me first?"

    "You will naturally know when the time comes."

    Sun Kaidao said lightly: "It's justdoes this count as a bet?"

    "Calculate!"

    Lu Fenghou said loudly: "Of course it counts!"

    Sun Kaidao followed up and said: "Okay, what if Sun wins?"

    "I'll give you my head!"

    Sun Kaidao shook his head and smiled: "It's useless for me to ask for General Lu's head. If he really agrees to my request, the army will pass through Jiazigou safely. In the future, please ask General Lu to respect Sun. Since we are all under the general, we should still  It¡¯s better to be harmonious, otherwise the general will be in trouble.¡±

    Lu Fenghou said: "If I really agree to your words, Lu will really be convinced by you from now on and obey your words!"

    "good!"

    Sun Kaidao took a step forward and stretched out his palm: "Would you like to high-five and swear an oath?"

    "Are you afraid of you?"

    Lu Fenghou stepped forward and high-fived Sun Kaidao. Sun Kaidao looked at Chen Bishan: "Where is General Chen?"

    Chen Bishan snorted coldly and stepped forward to give Sun Kaidao a high-five: "We are waiting for Mr. Sun's good news!"
