Chapter 110

After a little trimming on the Bank of Huangyan River, Lu que led his troops eastward to the ancient river plain. He didn't worry about leaving zhaining and returning again. He took advantage of their departure to plug the gap again. In the past few hours, the river water flowing from the old road into the ancient river is enough to turn the ancient river into a water lake.

Qiu lie's crazy lion army had 200000 troops, together with the original Danshui Garrison and Tianxing northern border garrison, he also retreated home with the crazy lion army. It's very difficult for an army of this scale, even mountains, forests and rivers, to stop them. What Lu wants to do is to slow them down.

The ancient river plain was the widest section of the river before the Huangyan river was diverted. After the Huangyan river was diverted, it was covered with various plants and was on the only way to Yanjin ferry. This is why Lu que chose to introduce Huangyan river water into the ancient river plain.

The fertile and soft land is once again filled with river water, no less than swamp.

After a few days of light rain, it finally stopped. After a day's journey, it was only half a day's journey from guheyuan. Lu que calculated in his mind that the lion army should still be on the way to guheyuan, so he didn't have to rush there so quickly, so he ordered to camp and rest.

"Lu que, what are you thinking?" After dealing with the camp, Gu Qingcheng goes to Lu Que and looks at Lu que, who is staring at the campfire in a daze. He is a little curious.

"I don't know." Lu que shook his head. "However, I always feel that something is wrong. It seems that something has been ignored by me."

Lu que frowned. Although everything was similar to his plan, he always felt that it was not right. This feeling made him feel very uneasy.

Gu Qingcheng was stunned when he heard the words, but he thought about it in his heart, but he didn't think there was any omission. He said, "no, I don't think so. Now even if we don't go to guheyuan and go north to join the zhennanguan army, there's no problem. Qiu lie has more than 200000 people. When he arrived at the ancient river plain, it would have been a swamp. Whether he wanted to cut trees or take a detour, it was too late. "

"Maybe I think too much." Lu que rubbed his temples.

He always has a sense of crisis. This sense of crisis once made him avoid many fierce beasts in the bugui mountain. Last year, he even avoided the attack of the Dark Phoenix assassin. Although Gu Qingcheng was right, he could go north to join Wei Jiu and Shen Zhang without taking charge of the army of mad lions. However, Lu que, who was cautious in nature, was still a little worried. He had to go to guheyuan to see the lion army. But the closer he got to guheyuan, the stronger his sense of crisis became.

"You don't have to think too much. The Huangyan river used to bend and change its course many times. But generally, after the origin of the snow mountain, the middle reaches flow into xiyuanze, and then flow out from xiyuanze into the present ancient river plain. Now the ancient river is filled with water, and Qiu lie has too many troops. If he wants to return home, he can't go west, because it's the south end of xiyuanze. The blood of 200000 troops is likely to disturb the inexplicable existence of xiyuanze. If he can't think of a way to pass through guheyuan in a short time, he can only turn east. In this way, he will have enough time to wait for the arrival of zhennanguan army. "

Gu Qingcheng learned from Lu que before, picked up a piece of wood and drew a sketch on the ground.

Lu que looked at the sketch for a while, shook his head, pointed to xiyuanze and said, "this is just the outer edge of xiyuanze. The danger is not very big. Even my Daqian's herb gatherers dare to go into the outer edge of bugui mountain to collect herbs. What's more, Qiu lie has more than 200000 troops. If I were Qiu lie, when I learned that the road ahead was blocked, I would definitely choose to go westward and take the outer edge of xiyuanze. "

"But isn't that putting the army in danger?" The reputation of the top ten Jedi in Qingmu continent is well known all over the world. Outside xiyuanze, there is a stone tablet, which is not known who or when it was set up. There are only seven words on it: "I urge you to cherish the earthly fate." no one can come out alive after entering the depth of xiyuanze.

If 200000 troops really pass by xiyuanze, how can the military spirit not be detected by the mysterious existence in xiyuanze. In this way, the tide of animals that might not have happened will appear.

"It's a dead end. With Qiu lie's talent, how can he not see our plan? He must know that the 350000 troops of zhennanguan are just behind him, and it's only two or three days away from him. "

"But even so, shouldn't Qiu lie take advantage of the arrival of zhennanguan army and turn to the southeast in order to cross the river and return home before the arrival of the army? Why do you choose the more difficult and dangerous one Gu Qingcheng doesn't understand. In her opinion, it's unwise to lead the army into xiyuanze, even if it's just outside.

Lu que shook his head with a smile and said, "if Qiu lie turns to the southeast, he has to go East first and then south. For hundreds of thousands of troops, it will take at least two days, but he doesn't have to make a detour. He is gambling that I dare not fight with him in xiyuanze. And even if the two countries go to war there, the bloody battle of hundreds of thousands of people will certainly disturb xiyuanze. At that time, even if the mad lion army is destroyed, our army may not be able to get out of xiyuanze. "

"Both sides are hurt. Qiu lie is very cruel." Although he said so, Gu Qingcheng's eyes flashed a trace of admiration.

If the situation really develops according to Lu Que's idea, the crazy lion army will take advantage of the opportunity to annihilate the crazy lion army.

There are more than 600000 troops of the two countries together. The two sides are fighting in xiyuanze. At that time, the wild lion army will be annihilated. The overwhelming blood will surely lead to a riot of animal tide. After the bloody battle, it is very difficult for the big army to resist the impact of animal tide. Qiu lie was in duizi. He used his wild lion army to replace 350000 people in the two armies of Yulin and benlei.

At that time, although the lion army was destroyed, the army of Daqian and Tianxing returned to the same starting line. It will take one to two years for Da Qian to retrain new recruits to make up for this loss. However, this time is precious for Tianxing. They can use these two years to stabilize the situation in chaotang and deploy their forces to the south of Huangyan river.

It's very cost-effective for the whole star to replace the 350 thousand army of Da Qian with 200 thousand lion army for two years.

"Qiu lie is worthy of being a famous commander." Gu Qingcheng said with emotion. At this time, she was sure that Qiu lie would make a decision like Lu Que's guess. However, her vision of looking at Lu que is also different. Now Qiu lie has not arrived at guheyuan. Lu que can guess his later decision. This idea is beyond ordinary people's reach.

"Yes." Lu que also nodded.

"Lu que, now is the best time to annihilate the wild lion Legion. The small people of Tianxing kingdom are weak. Once the wild lion Legion is annihilated, it will be a great loss of strength. For Daqian, it is worth the price."

"It's true for Daqian, but those soldiers also have parents, wives and children. Once the animal tide breaks out, the loss will be too great. Moreover, the land from Danshui to Huangyanjiang has not been developed, and now it's still a wasteland, so it's useless to get it."

"Yes, in that case, we can only confront Tianxing across the river, but it's impossible to destroy his country at one stroke. If you are a commander, you will lose before you win. After all, it's a pity. We can't gamble on the lives of our soldiers. After all, we have an advantage. There's no need to do that. " Gu Qingcheng sighed. Since the founding of the state, Da Qian has not lost 350000 troops in a single battle. Although it is unlikely that the tide of animals will happen, he can't gamble.

"We think so, but Wei Shuai and Shen Shuai may not think so." Lu que picked up a piece of wood and threw it into the campfire. "Maybe in their opinion, even if they changed their sons, even if they died for their country, as long as the emperor sent Fengxiang army, and then transferred the Longxiang army of Wu'an Marquis back to the south, it was enough to make up for the loss of military strength."

"Zhennanguan army is only three days away from guheyuan, and Qiu lie will arrive at guheyuan tomorrow. That is to say, there is only a little more than two days left in the middle. Is there any way to prevent Qiu lie and his army from entering xiyuanze in these two days Gu Qingcheng looked at the sketch on the ground and asked.

"Not yet." Lu que shook his head. "After all, we have too few troops. Compared with Qiu lie's 200000 strong army, it's just a drop in the bucket."

When Lu finished, they both fell into silence. Both of them were still young people. This time, they both led the army for the first time. It's the limit to be able to do this. But now they have to drag Qiu lie on for two days to prevent him from leading the army into xiyuanze, which is related to the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people, and even to the future national destiny of Daqian. Under such great pressure, both of them are a little out of breath.

"Sister Qingcheng, we'll go here tomorrow. Maybe there will be a way when we arrive." Lu Kui said, referring to the place where the ancient Heyuan and the southern edge of Xiyuan Ze meet.

"Good." Gu Qingcheng nodded and looked at the place that Lu que pointed to. His eyes were shining.

In the morning of the next day, after breakfast, Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng led their troops northward to the place where guheyuan and xiyuanze met. Because it has cleared up, although the ground is still muddy, it is much better than the previous few days. Lu que raised his marching speed to the limit under the condition of ensuring that his mount would not slide. After a few hours, he came to xiyuanze.

The reason why xiyuanze is called this name is that it is a huge swamp except for entering and leaving. Outside the swamp is a woodland of low shrubs. Across the Bush to see in the Xiyuan Ze, is a colorful fog, like a rainbow general, was firmly locked in the Xiyuan Ze.

In the swamp, from time to time out of a huge colorful bubble, bubble collapse after the new colorful fog, and slowly into the fog before. Through the colorful fog, you can only vaguely see the mountain like shadow in the distance. You can't see anything else. You can only occasionally hear the roar like an ancient beast.

"It's full of vitality." Gu Qingcheng felt it for a moment and said.

"In the vitality, there is a strong air of death. The air of life and death is constantly changing with each other, and it is firmly locked here. It's really amazing." Lu que also felt it and said.

"It's the same with life and death, but this xiyuanze will lock up all the vitality and death. It may not be very helpful to the animals who stay here all the year round, or even will be of great help, but it's a deadly poison to us."

"It's said that the seven color miasma is also unusual. It's said that inhaling it will stifle Qi and blood and affect the spirit." He Tao looks at the colorful smoke in the distance, and his eyelids can't help jumping. As long as this thing is stained with a little, it's more difficult to break through again in his life.

"Ouo ~" at this time, the white wolf king seemed to find something and raised his head to send out a long wolf howl in the deep of xiyuanze. With the howl of wolf king, countless bubbles in xiyuanze burst at the same time. The broken bubbles, like a hurricane, blow through the seven colors of smoke, blowing a crack in the seven colors of smoke.

"What is that? What a big snake. " Although it was only a moment before the smoke was blown away and closed again, people could clearly see that in the far distance of sight, a colorful snake, like a hill, was taking a rest. That huge body, gave people a great shock.

"Green, yellow, red and black, mixed colors, colorful, this should be a BA snake." Gu Qingcheng frowned. Although it was just a glance, she quickly calculated that the Ba snake should be hundreds of miles away. Such a distance can give people a huge shock. How big is the real body of the Ba snake.

"Ba snake is sleepy and sleeps for a long time. As long as it doesn't attack it, it won't wake up." Lu que felt that there was some commotion among the taxi drivers behind him. When he looked back, he found that each of them had a look of fear and began to comfort him.

"You cook first. I'll look around." People can't react to the lack of landing. As soon as they urge the screw horned horse to sit down, they gallop northward along the edge of xiyuanze.

"General." When the three captains saw that Lu que was far away, they were all anxious. Although they were reluctant to leave, who knew what the danger would be. They really didn't want Lu que to have an accident.

"Let him go. He knows what he wants. Just follow his orders." Gu Qingcheng stopped the three captains who wanted to chase him and said.

They just look outside xiyuanze and feel the danger. Once the two countries fight again, they will not say whether it will cause a tide of animals. They just wake up the snake. No one can run away from the hundreds of thousands of troops. The huge body is the tail of the snake. It's estimated that the imperial worshippers in the imperial capital dare not connect it.

If Lu que couldn't find a way to delay Qiu lie, they had to go north immediately to join the zhennanguan army to stop the battle and let the wild lions leave.

After lunch, Lu que still didn't come back, and he didn't see anyone until dusk. Both Gu Qingcheng and the three captains were on pins and needles, for fear that something might happen to Lu que. Just when Gu Qingcheng wanted to order him to go north to look for Lu que, the pure white figure of the thread horned horse appeared in the distance.

"Lu que, why did you go so long?" Gu Qing City some complain of ask a way, just she can always hang a heart.

"I went to guheyuan to have a look. The wild lion army has arrived and is repairing." Lu que took the water bag from He Tao, took a drink and said.

"Did Qiu lie decide to go east or west, or to cross the ancient river by force?" Gu Qingcheng frowned when he heard that Lu que went alone to watch the trend of the lion army. He was angry at Lu Que's recklessness. But this is not the time. Qiu lie's choice is the most important thing for them.

"The ancient river plain was originally the old road of Huangyan river. At this time, the water depth was more than three meters. Qiu lie would not choose to cut down trees to cross the ancient river plain. That would be too time-consuming. I prefer that he would come here." Lu que came to the campfire, took off the wet light armour and put it on the fire. Before he went into the water to measure the water level, he was all wet.

"What shall we do?"

"The place where Qiu lie's troops are stationed is about 70 li away from here. It will take one day for more than 200000 troops to March. That is to say, we only need to hold him for one day. Sister Qingcheng, you ask Dongya to send letters to Wei Shuai and Shen Shuai, and let them lead their troops directly to xiaoqingshan, 30 miles away from here. I'll try to delay Qiu lie's day. "

"Do you have a way?" Gu Qingcheng's eyes brightened.

"There are some preliminary ideas." Lu nodded and said to He Tao, Feng Yang and Cheng Yuan, "you can have dinner now. After eating, you can take the soldiers to xiaoqingshan. After that, don't make fire again. Find a safe place to hide and wait for Wei Shuai and Shen Shuai."

"What about you, general? You won't be with us, will you Three people looked at each other, some uncertain said.

"I'll stay and hold Qiu lie."

"How can we do that, general? If there's anything to do, humble people will do it for you." When he Tao heard that he was in a hurry, he had no reason to leave the general behind and run to a safe place to hide.

"Don't worry, sister Qingcheng and I won't be in danger." Lu que patted He Tao on the shoulder and said, "Qiu lie sent his scouts to all sides, most of them in the West and North. I think he will choose to go west and come here, so you can't stay."

"But the general."

"Listen to me." Lu que stopped Feng Yang and continued, "those scouts are here to make sure the safety of xiyuanze. There is no shelter here. No matter how you hide, you will be found by these scouts."

"What's the matter with him? He's going to kill them all. Isn't that the end?" Lu que is interrupted by Cheng Yuan before he says anything.

"Can you hear me out?" Lu Que's face was cold, and he was very unhappy.

Seeing that several people stopped talking, Lu que continued to say, "which investigation riders can't be killed, and which investigation riders I need to go back to spread a message, confusing Qiu lie's judgment." He said that he had a look at the white wolf king lying beside the fire and sleeping.

"You mean." Gu Qingcheng seems to understand Lu's idea.

"Whether we are Daqian or Qiu lie, we are afraid of the tide of animals. These detectives came here mainly to detect the movement of xiyuanze. In this way, we will take advantage of the night to use wolves to give the false impression that the animal tide will break out soon. "

"Good idea. In this way, even if Qiu lie was suspicious, he would send more investigation riders again. But this time, it would take a lot of time. Maybe he could drag the time until the arrival of the zhennanguan army. "

"General, what about us?" He Tao, Feng Yang and Cheng Yuan look at each other. Although the solution is a good one, they are not sure that Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng will stay. If anything happens, they can't bear the responsibility.

"It's no use for you to stay here. We'll have dinner right away, and then we'll leave. It's a military order."

"This ~" three people see Lu lack face serious, looked at each other, but bow to promise.

Seeing that the three men turned to decorate, Lu que went to the white wolf king and said, "Bai Xia, there is a herd of wild cattle and a herd of deer fifteen miles away in the East. I need your help to drive them eastward ten miles after dark. Those detective riders, find a way to solve it, and leave two to report back. "

The white wolf king looked at Lu que lazily, then looked at the sky and nodded.
