    Everyone knows that Emperor Li Er likes to personally explore the enemy's situation. Not to mention the bullying of Wang Shichong, who was already on his last breath. When Liu Wuzhou was at his peak, he kicked the Li family's home base of Taiyuan City and took down the old man in one go.  When the Li family controlled Puban City in Hedong County, which they had failed to capture for more than two years, Emperor Li Er did an even more beautiful thing besides massacring the city in Xia County.  This incident happened in the winter moon of that year. Li Er led his army with overwhelming force, crossed the Yellow River on the thick ice at Longmen, and came to Jiangjun to garrison Baibi!  Then, in view of the arrogance of Liu Wuzhou's traitor, the fearless Brother Li, in order to despise Liu Wuzhou's clown, even more to explore the enemy's situation, personally led a small number of cavalry as scouts to conduct reconnaissance in enemy-controlled areas!  Then after arriving at the destination, the famous story happened. Brother Li despised his opponent tactically and sent out all the bodyguards and thugs around him to conduct reconnaissance, leaving only one nameless cavalry attendant - this  Unlucky Cavalry Returns Soldiers really didn't leave any names.  ¡° Then Brother Li and the unlucky cavalry were too tired, so they both ran to the top of a hill and fell asleep. Nothing happened during this period, at least not recorded in the history books.  Then, a group of accomplices and lackeys under Liu Wuzhou, who were quietly and sneaky because of their clairvoyance and ears, and a large group of fierce cavalry, suddenly surrounded him from all directions!  The purpose is nothing else but to kill our True Dragon Emperor, Brother Li!  The true dragon emperor has his own divine blessing!  At this critical moment of life and death, a snake killed an even more unlucky mouse, forcing the even more unlucky mouse to bump into the face of the unlucky cavalryman next to Brother Li, awakening the unlucky cavalryman and letting him  Realizing that the danger was approaching, the unlucky cavalryman quickly woke up Brother Li and mounted his horse with Brother Li. Finally, Brother Li shot an arrow to death of Liu Wuzhou's lackey who was a hundred steps away, scaring away thousands of enemy troops.  Break out of the siege with great swagger!  The Yellow River is frozen, but Brother Snake is still enjoying himself. Don¡¯t ask me why. Maybe this snake is a creature from another world and does not need to hibernate.  Don't say that the author is just talking nonsense. If this historical data is really fabricated, the culprits have to go to Lao Ji and He Er. They fabricated and added the slander when compiling "The Complete Book of Four Destructions" in order to please Gan Chaozi, so they left it behind.  this myth. é±p> Regardless of whether it is a myth or not, we have no way to delve into whether Brother Li, who was tortured by Brother Xue on the Western Front and suddenly grew wings and flew to the Eastern Front to replace Li Jiancheng and defeat Wang Shichong's men, is a superman with his underwear on backwards. He claims to be  After being surrounded by Liu Heita in every battle and being rescued by Yuchi Jingde at the risk of his life, Brother Li, who had fought hundreds of battles with no scars on his body, never went deep into enemy-occupied territory alone. We absolutely believe that the history books have forgotten this.  recorded.  But in the final analysis, our second brother Li attaches great importance to intelligence work and once liked to do it himself.  It was the same after moving to Lingshi this time. In view of the huge disparity in comprehensive strength, although Li Er was not very optimistic about the Queshu Valley defense plan formulated by Li Jiancheng, Li Er still spent a lot of money in order not to even have the power to protect himself.  He worked hard to supervise the construction of the defense fortifications in Queshu Valley, personally visited the construction site, and arranged and built various defense facilities with the vision of a genius military strategist. He built nine forts alone, three fences on the road, and a large number of sentry towers.  , arrow towers and beacon towers, and he was very talented in building two bunkers on the cliffs on the other side of the Fen River. They blocked the roads with bows and arrows from a high position and gave the enemy almost no chance to seize them by force.  Queshu Valley is an important military area that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. After building so many defense fortifications, it can basically be said to be impregnable. No matter whether the enemy attacks openly or covertly, it is impossible for the enemy to easily break through the Taiyuan Army's defensive positions.  Going north, it stands to reason that Li Er and the Taiyuan army can sit back and relax, but unfortunately, Li Er and his men, who have learned from the past, not only do not dare to rest assured, but are also worried about an important issue, "We  Can the fortifications stop the weapons of Chen Yingliang's traitors? "In addition to this important issue, there is another issue that deserves Li Er's attention. This is whether the Sui army's partial division Liu Heitu's troops can be like the legend.  That way, they would send troops to capture Queshu Valley before the main force of the Sui army arrived?  To be honest, Li Er doubted the authenticity of this rumor, but for the sake of caution, and because both Li Jiancheng and Duan Lun asked Li Er to find out the matter, Li Er sent a large number of scouts to sneak into the Huoyi area.  Go and reconnoiter the movements of the Sui army there, looking for any useful clues.  It is a pity that the Sui Army general Liu Heitai was also an extremely talented military talent. Li Er sent a large number of detailed troops to explore for two days, but he was not even able to detect how many troops Liu Heitai had assembled in the Huoyi area.  The number and number of Sui army flags in Yi and Jiahu Fort changed every day, and the number of stove smoke in the camp also changed every day. At the same time, a large number of Sui army flags were once found deep in the mountains and forests directly south of Huoyi, but again  When the Taiyuan army concentrated its effortsWhen inspecting this mountain forest, these flags disappeared without a trace, as if they did not exist at all.  Li Er did not blame the scouts and the incompetent craftsmen, because Li Er could see at a glance that this was Liu Heitai's plan to suspect the soldiers, and he was trying to make his own army unable to figure out the true strength of the Huoyi and Sui armies. However, Li Er temporarily  I can't guess Liu Heitai's real purpose for doing this. I don't understand whether Liu Heitai wants to bluff and intimidate his own army?  Or do you want to cover up your murderous intentions and really want to launch an attack on Queshu Valley?  After thinking about it, Li Er decided out of habit to go out in person, disguised as an ordinary citizen, and went to Huoyi to investigate the enemy's situation in person and get first-hand detailed information.  The Taiyuan army stationed in Lingshi are all direct descendants of Li Er, and they all know that Li Er likes to personally explore the enemy's situation. They are not surprised by this. They just told Li Erwan to be careful and arranged some soldiers to be there.  Li Er was assisted by Li Er in a hiding place. Li Er led the captain Wang Huaiwen and a capable local soldier from Huoyi. They disguised themselves as ordinary people and hid short swords. They took the mountain path south and successfully reached the upper reaches of the Swine River. Then gradually  Going eastward along the She River, we gradually arrived at the suburbs of Huoyi.  Looking at the important town of Huoyi that once belonged to him, Li Er certainly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but Li Er was also a person who was very good at regulating his emotions. After sighing for a while, he stopped thinking about the past and settled down to investigate carefully.  enemy situation.  As a result, Li Er soon discovered that the current situation of the Sui army in Huoyi seemed to be a little loose on the outside and tight on the inside. On the surface, it seemed that businessmen and travelers could not move freely. In fact, sentries were placed at critical points on the roads to closely monitor passers-by. The people in the eastern suburbs of Huoyi  The camp strictly prohibits any outsiders from approaching, and does not give the troops a chance to conduct closer inspections.  In addition, Li Er also found that there were obviously many more ruts on the road, and many of the ruts from the north to the south were much deeper. They were obviously carrying heavy objects, but Li Er clearly remembered that the self-army scouts carefully worked  Until now, he has not reported to himself or Duan Lun that there are signs that the Sui army is heading north carrying a large amount of supplies and military supplies.  There are also obviously more ships on the Fenshui River. However, the Fenshui River north of Zhengping in Jiangjun County is dangerous and the water flow is rapid and complex. It is not suitable for large-scale troop transport and food transportation. At the same time, the Fenshui River is surrounded by Queshu Valley.  The river twists and turns, the current is fierce, and the drop is as high as more than 40 feet (about 125 meters). It is difficult for even a light boat to cross, let alone a heavy grain boat.  Therefore, Li Er was not worried at all about this. He knew that the Sui army could only use the Fen River to share some of the pressure of land transportation, and there was absolutely no possibility of large-scale transportation of grain, grass and military supplies to Huoyi and the Taiyuan battlefield further north.  Then Li Er took the time to go to the mountainous area directly south of Huoyi, but unfortunately, the mysterious Sui army that had suddenly appeared before was still missing. Li Er inevitably became more and more confused, and he could not guess the true nature of the Sui army.  purpose and intention.  After some more calculations, Li Er pointed to the direction of Jiahu Fort to the northwest and said: "Let's go to Jiahu Fort to check the situation again." "Right Commander, be careful." Wang Huaiwen quickly reminded: "Jiahu Fort  The entrance and exit of Queshu Valley's official road are tightly guarded by the fortress, and Chen's army is closely monitoring you. You are worth a lot of money, so you can't take risks easily. " "It's okay. The terrain in that area is complicated, and I'm familiar with all the roads. At most, I'll be fine if I enter the mountain.  "Li Er answered confidently, and then said even more confidently: "Going through the official road is more likely to attract suspicion, but it's okay to go through the official road in a big way." Wang Huaiwen could not resist Li Er, so he could only carefully protect Li Er.  Returning to the official road, the result was good. There were not many official and military sentries in this area, and Li Er and others were not found quietly returning to the mountain road from the forest.  However, at this moment, facing Fen in the south, a caravan suddenly came. It was quite large and consisted of about twenty trucks. Donkeys and mules were slowly heading northward. Under the banner of Zhengping Liuji Trading Company, they happened to come from  Li Er and others passed in front of them. Wang Huaiwen and another entourage did not pay attention to this, but Li Er only took a cursory glance and immediately noticed something was wrong. He hurriedly whispered: "Pay attention to this caravan, something is wrong!" Wang Huaiwen  I quickly observed the caravan carefully, and sure enough I quickly discovered a lot of things that were wrong. The twenty or so trucks looked like they contained sacks stuffed with utensils, but the sacks were not piled high, and the ruts were very deep.  , twelve of the cars were still pulled by two donkeys, and at the same time, there were about fifty guys guarding the twenty cars. Each of the guys was thick-waisted and round-shouldered, and looked brave and fierce. No matter how you look at it, they don't look like ordinary people.  The business man.  When Li Er whispered again to remind Wang Huaiwen to pay attention to the back, Wang Huaiwen quickly discovered that behind the caravan, there were some ordinary merchants carrying packages. They seemed to be in twos and threes and did not look like a group, but in fact they were all strong, young men.  Strong, vaguely seems to be protecting the caravan.  Li Er knew that he was very lucky, and when he saw these situations, he immediately understood that his luck had come again. Overjoyed, Li Er immediately gave up his plan to go to Jiahu Fort to investigate, and took Wang Huaiwen to follow the businessman from a distance.  At the back of the team, the local agent was sent forward to try his best to observe what was loaded on those trucks. At the same time,Li Er couldn't help but feel a little drumming in his heart, and thought to himself: "Twelve carts are pulled by two donkeys? Twelve? Twelve? Why is this number so familiar?" That caravan also attracted the attention of the Sui army's sentry posts along the way.  When a Sui army sentry came forward to inquire, he quickly retreated to let the way pass. Then the spy who had previously investigated quickly sneaked back and reported to Li Er in a low voice: "Right Commander, this caravan is also  They may have been pretending to be Chen's army. They showed something to the army sentry, and the army sentry immediately retreated. ""Continue to investigate and work separately," Li Er said in a low voice, "Before sunset.  We will meet at the intersection in the mountainous area upstream. Remember, try to find out what is on those cars as much as possible." Xi Zuo agreed and quickly followed them again. Li Er took Wang Huaiwen to take a detour and rushed to the east of Huoyi City.  At the Sui Army camp on the outskirts of the country, I hid in a high and hidden place to monitor the Sui Army camp gate from a distance. After waiting for an unknown amount of time, the mysterious caravan actually walked directly towards the main entrance of the Sui Army camp. At the same time, this caravan came directly to the main entrance of the Sui Army camp.  The team also attracted the attention of many other passers-by. Then, to Li Er's great joy, one of the trucks pulled by two donkeys suddenly overturned on its own while turning without knowing what was wrong.  The sack on top fell to the ground, and at the same time a thick, black cylindrical object rolled out!  The incident soon became a big deal. The guys escorting the car immediately rushed forward, hurriedly covering the tubular object with sacks and even their bodies. Then some people rushed to negotiate in front of the Sui Army camp. The Sui Army camp was also very crowded.  An army quickly rushed out, quickly blocked the scene and arrested passers-by who saw the tubular object.  Li Er felt secretly happy after seeing this, and immediately told Wang Huaiwen: "Let's go back to the mountain road and wait for the news. I saw clearly just now that our people had already escaped early and were not caught by the rebels." Wang Huaiwen agreed and hurriedly  Accompanying Li Er back to the way he came, Wang Huaiwen couldn't help but ask Li Er with a trembling voice: "Right Commander, is that what is loaded in the car?" "It's very possible, but it's not completely certain yet." Li Er  Er replied in a low voice: "But it doesn't matter. Our people are nearby and will definitely see clearly what it is. We will know the news after we go back and wait for a while." Wang Huaiwen nodded repeatedly, while accompanying Li Er in a hurry back to the way he came.  , while saying in a nervous voice: "Right Commander, if it is really that thing, then we will be in big trouble. The Chen bandit army may launch an attack in the next few days." Li Er nodded and whispered: "Yes,  If it is really that thing, then Chen Yingliang's plan is already very clear. He pretends that the main force is still preparing to go out, so that our main force will not rush south to Queshu Valley to fortify. In fact, he has secretly sent reinforcements to Liu Heitai, so that  Liu Heitai took on the task of pioneering the path and captured Queshu Valley with his troops, opening up his way forward. He was really clever when he said this.  Bless you, God has blessed me, just in time to let me see your trump card appear on the battlefield of Huoyi in advance. Now you not only have no chance to stand out as a special weapon, but you may also let me get your magic weapon. Humph!  " We returned to the agreed mountain intersection fairly smoothly, and waited in a hidden place until dusk. As expected, the local craftsman from before came back sneakily to meet Li Er. Li Er first carefully confirmed that there was no tail on his back, and then  Take Wang Huaiwen out to meet him.  As a result, after Li Er appeared, before he could ask, the craftsman couldn't wait to say excitedly: "Right Governor! It's artillery! It's the artillery of the rebel army! That donkey cart was loaded with the weapon that the rebel army used to blast away Huo Huo.  Yicheng's artillery! Their wheels got stuck in the pit on the roadside, and the car rolled over? "It's artillery!" "Did you see it clearly?" Li Er asked calmly.  "It's very clear!" Xiao Zuo replied truthfully: "The younger one also saw that the things in those sacks were very light. They were not cargo at all. They could be lifted with one hand." "Very good, you have done a good job.  , I will give you a reward when you get back." Li Er smiled and said: "Let's go back to Lingshi to prepare for the battle. That man Liu Heita is coming soon." Brother Li's golden words are indeed very good. In fact, he is right.  When he, Wang Huaiwen and others were still on their way back to Lingshi, Liu Heitai, who was supposed to be stationed in Linfen, suddenly rushed to the outside of Huoyi City with dozens of light cavalry, without any banners and dressed as ordinary soldiers, and directly entered the city outside the city.  Sui army camp.  Generals Wang Xingben and Cao Qing, who were leading the army to guard here, were shocked when they heard the news. They both rushed out to greet Liu Heitai and invited Liu Heitai into the Chinese army's tent to discuss matters.  "Have the artillery arrived?" Liu Heita asked straight to the point: "Is the plan going well?" "It has arrived, very smoothly." Cao Qing answered with his hands raised, and then said: "Our people are very sure that at least one of them has  The enemy Xi Zuo saw it with his own eyes, and we also let him run away on purpose." Liu Heitai nodded with satisfaction, and Wang Xingben asked again in confusion."Commander, why are you here in person? Has our plan changed?" "It's not that our plan has changed, it's that your opponent has changed, so I came in person." Liu Heitai answered smoothly, and then  Said: "You reported to me before that Li Erlang led his army to Lingshi. When I received the news, I quickly entrusted the matters at hand to the prefect Wei and General Huo Shiju. I came here to take over your command of the battle, so that you will not suffer losses.  "What kind of losses do we have?" Cao Qing and Wang Xingben were a little confused.  "You are not Li Erlang's opponent." Liu Heitai replied: "And I am very sure that once Li Erlang learns that we have artillery arriving in Huoyi, he will definitely have the idea of ????sending troops to rob him, so I can only temporarily adjust the plan  , come here personally to take command, lest you make any mistakes and dampen our enthusiasm for the Northern Expedition to Taiyuan." "Commander, Li Erlang only has more than 5,000 troops and horses, and he has to be responsible for guarding Queshu Valley and Lingshi City.  You have the guts to go out and steal our artillery?" Cao Qing asked in surprise.  "Of course he has." Liu Heitai smiled and replied: "This is what the Prime Minister told me personally. Okay, let's talk about the rest slowly. Do two things first. First, blockade me. I have arrived in Huo  Second, closely monitor the mobilization of the rebel army. If there is any news, report it to me immediately. " Late that night, Li Er successfully returned to Lingshi City. First, he strictly ordered to speed up the construction of fortifications, and then ignored the exhaustion of his own sentry.  , let Duan Zhixuan and Tang Xian continue to be temporarily responsible for the defense of the spirit stone for them, and they also had to go north to Jiexiu to ask Duan Lun for help.  Zhu Can hurriedly persuaded with good intentions: "Right Governor, you are too tired to do the sentry in person, so you should rest first. For such a small matter as urgent to General Manager Duan, just send a messenger." "No, I have to go in person."  Li Er calmly replied: "Because I not only went to Commander Duan for help, I also wanted to persuade him to help me and send troops to seize the artillery sent by Chen Yingliang in advance!"
