Chapter 42 Ye Xiang's Guidance
Li Xiao stood up, looked down the cliff again, and then asked Ruixin, "How did we get up?"
Ruixin smiled and said, "Young Master, we were sent by the psychic Lotus Brother with petals. This lotus was inspired by Venerable Luo Lan to practice."
Li Xiao nodded and joked to Ruixin: "Let's go, let's go back to Dongning quickly, otherwise it will be too late for my coffin to be buried."
Li Xiao originally wanted to make a joke with Ruixin, but Ruixin didn't think it was normal and nodded and said, "Young Master is saying."
Li Xiao and Ruixin walked quickly. Not far away, they saw a yard. The yard was not big, but smoke came out of the yard. Li Xiao looked up at the sky. It was almost dusk. Li Xiao thought to himself: "There are still people here, and the war has not burned here. It seems that the Spirit Army has just attacked the city."
Li Xiao walked to the door and shouted, "Is anyone there? Can passers-by ask for a bowl of water?"
Hearing Li Xiao’s shout, an eleven-two-year-old child walked out and said to Li Xiao: “Let’s sit in the courtyard, I’ll call my husband.” After the child said that, he walked into the house.
After a while, a man in his thirties was walking away. He was majestic, with a handsome appearance, and was dressed in a generous and decent manner. He was holding a cigarette gun in his hand. Seeing Li Xiao wearing military uniform, he bowed and said, "Why did the general come here?"
Li Xiao also bowed and said, "Last night, Chen Shui was defeated and fled here. He wanted to rush back to Dongning. He passed by here and wanted to ask for a bowl of water."
The gentleman said, "Tonger, hurry up and prepare food for you and drink." After that, he sat beside Li Xiao and asked, "I don't know what the general calls it, which defender is it?"
Li Xiao said: "I was originally a disciple of Chunzhen Li Xiao. I was appointed by His Majesty and was appointed as the Expedition General. A few months ago, I took over Dongning Shujun and destroyed Chen You's village. But I don't know what the sir calls him."
When the gentleman heard this, he looked up and bowed and said, "What's the matter with you? I'm just a mountain villager. I wonder what the general is saying about Chen Shui's defeat? Can you tell me?"
How Li Xiaodao marched into Chenshui, how he was defeated, and how he was pursued one by one.
Ye Xiang nodded and said, "I have heard of Gulu. He is a good general in literature and martial arts, but this matter is strange."
Li Xiao nodded and said, "I also think this matter is strange. I don't know how he ignited the surface so that we would be defeated so miserably."
Ye Xiang smiled and said, "This is simple. Spread a layer of leaves on the ground and pour tinder oil on the leaves to prevent the oil from seeping into the soil. Sprinkle dry soil on the oil."
Li Xiao bowed and said, "Thank you Mr. Ye for your advice. You can use this method in the future marching, but what is strange about what you are talking about?"
Ye Xiang said: "How could Gulu know the general's march route? How did he prepare in advance?"
When Li Xiao heard this, he thought for a while and said, "Mr. Ye means that I have detailed works in my military camp?"
Ye Xiang shook his head and said, "This is hard to say, but in the future, the general must pay attention to the mechanism." Ye Xiang pointed at Ruixin and said, "What is the general?"
Li Xiao said, "This is Ruixin, the fairy given to him by Venerable Luolan." Li Xiao also told the story of the headless valley, the wilderness, and the fallen flower storm. At this time, the boy put the food on, and Li Xiao and Ruixin started eating in the courtyard.
Ye Xiang said: "The headless monster is the descendant of the Criminal Tribe. Their heads and chests are together. Because they have no heads, they were always bullied by various tribes in ancient times, so they especially hated the creatures with heads. They have lived in the valley for many years, and it is also a blessing that the general destroyed them all. The savages are distant relatives of the giant tribe. They have not experienced good evolution. It is estimated that only the savages in the Savage Grotto in this world are those."
Li Xiao said again: "Sir, I know a lot, but why are those savages not tempted by dragon maramura?"
Ye Xiang said: "The savages have no greed or distracting thoughts. They hunt and kill each other are their nature. Unlike us humans, once they have a greed, they will be uncontrollable."
After Li Xiao and Ruixin finished eating, Li Xiao stood up and wanted to leave. Ye Xiang stopped Li Xiao and said, "General, you should not go back to Dongning. You should hurry back to Shu County quickly. Gulu pursued the general overnight. Knowing that the general was dead, he would definitely attack Shu County tonight."
After hearing this, Li Xiao asked, "How did you know that Gulu would bypass Dongning and sneak attack the Shu army, and it would be detrimental to his marching."
Ye Xiang smiled slightly and said, "Dongning is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and there are sufficient troops. Shujun has been a food road since ancient times, and it is a place that military strategists must fight for. Moreover, the county city was burned by the general, and many fortifications are not perfect."
After hearing this, Li Xiao nodded and thanked, and Ye Xiang said to Li Xiao again: "The general can do the same thing, and give it to him, and return to Shujun, so what."
After hearing this, Li Xiao smiled happily, bowed and thanked her, and was about to leave. Ye Xiang said again: "It's almost dark, and it's not too far from the county town. I'll be there after riding a horse for an hour." As he said that, Tonger asked him to take out two horses.
Li Xiao and Ruixin each rode and ran to the county city. When Li Xiao came to the city, it was already dark. Li Xiao shouted: "Open the city gate quickly, Li Xiao will come."
The defenders on the city saw it and quickly opened the city gate. Li Xiao and Ruixin headed straight to the central army. Li Xiao picked up the drumstick and beat the drum three-way. Guo Rengui, Runfeng, Ke Boss, and Wan Fang made a fortune. They were all amazed when they saw Li Xiao.
Guo Rengui said: "Brother, I'll just say, how could you die? This one is," said looking at Ruixin.
Li Xiao waved his hand and said, "It's too late to explain, I'll go to the expedition."
Everyone was confused when they heard this. Li Xiao called Runfeng to his side and whispered to Runfeng: "That's it, go and do it quickly."
Guo Rengui was very unhappy when he saw Li Xiao's actions and said, "Hey, you Li Xiao, what do you mean? You won't treat us as friends."
Li Xiao smiled and said, "No, military secrets, everyone will always be in charge of it." After that, he said to Wan Fang, "Brother Wan, come here, I have something to say."
Wan Fang came over, and Li Xiao also whispered to Wan Fang, and then said something to Boss Ke. The two nodded and went out, leaving only Guo Rengui.
Li Xiao said: "Brother Rengui, don't worry. I met a capable man, but I don't know if he can do it. If you win tonight, how about you and invite this person?"
Guo Rengui said: "What did you ask them to do? It's so mysterious, even I'm hiding it? Then what should I do?"
Li Xiao smiled and said, "How about you transfer all the soldiers and horses in the city that can fight to the south gate, move all the crossbows, forts, and fire snakes to the walls of the south city, and then we set up a table to drink?"
Guo Rengui said with his eyes slanted: "What are you selling for this gourd? Drop the defenders and the people guarding the city to the south gate. What if the enemy attacks?"
Li Xiao smiled and said, "Brother Rengui, I will talk to you slowly when I drink."
