Datang: Acting as a celestial mystery at the beginning

A few days passed quickly, and the scouts sent out finally returned.

The result was just as Li Yi'an and the others had expected. The rebels hiding in the mountains near the Jinsha River had the advantage of the terrain, but it was also their disadvantage, especially in this climate, it would be even more serious.

"Determining the direction, how to encircle the mountain, dispatch troops, etc., are all up to you. Your orders are my orders, and everyone must obey them unconditionally."

Li Yi'an said: "Cheng Chumo, Li Dejian and Yuchi Baolin, if you are not afraid of death, you can go together, but you must obey Dingfang's order. Changsun Chong stays here and leaves tomorrow!"

"Yes!"

Everyone shouted.

What Changsun Chong wanted to do was not to join the army but to go into politics. Li Yi'an didn't include him. It would be more useful to stay in Lujinguan, and he could take over some of Yaozhou's official documents. Luo Wenlin dared not disagree with this.

Su Lie and Xue Li are full of confidence at the moment, dancing enthusiastically, this is a good opportunity for them to make a name for themselves.

They are not like Cheng Chumo, they have a background and a background, and their starting point is higher than them. Whether they can be reused by the court in the future, and whether they can make a name for themselves depends on this start.

As far as the military is concerned, Li Yi'an is better on paper, but he has never actually fought.

Although he also wanted to go to an actual battle, he hesitated to the end and decided to stay in Ruonuo State to deal with these mobs, and he didn't plan to make a move yet, leaving Su Lie to take full responsibility.

Doing so also gave Su Lie a chance to prove himself.

Early the next morning, Su Lie left Lujin Pass with 1 people and set off in a mighty way.

Before the expedition, Li Yi'an calculated for them, everything went well, and they returned triumphantly.

However, a few days after Su Lie and the others left, another scout came back and said that some bandits had been found more than ten miles west of Lujin Pass.

"Bandits?"

Li Yian asked: "Those bandits, are they rebels?"

"It is impossible to determine for the time being."

The scout shook his head and said.

"Go explore again!"

Li Yi'an didn't know why, but after hearing the news, he had a bad feeling, so he took out a few coins to calculate.

Generally speaking, he counts his own affairs, which is often vague.

This time the hexagrams showed something, not too good, but not too bad, although it was vague, but tended to the bad side.

Very ambiguous.

"Something must have happened recently."

Li Yi'an was thinking.

"Emissary Li, there are still some bandits in the southwestern region. In the past few years, we have fought many times in Yaozhou, but we can't kill them all."

Luo Wenlin said: "As long as we are ready to lead troops to attack, they will immediately flee in the direction of Tubo, and we dare not cross the line to chase them."

Chang Sun Chong said: "I always feel that bandits appear at this time, it's too coincidental."

He had a feeling that it was too abnormal behind this, that something unexpected might even happen.

"Prepare more scouts to find out."

Li Yian couldn't feel relieved.

This was his first time leading the army as a commander in battle, and based on the systematic military knowledge he had inherited, it always gave him a feeling that something was wrong.

What's more, there are some problems with the hexagram image, which is not very reasonable.

After the scout left for more than a day, he finally returned with news.

"The bandits are gone?"

Li Yi'an was a little surprised when he heard the latest news.

Luo Wenlin didn't think there was a big problem, and said casually, "It's Li Shijun who is too nervous."

He also knew that Li Yi'an was leading the army for the first time, so he felt that it was reasonable to be nervous. If it was his first time doing this, he might be even more nervous.

"Hopefully I'm really nervous."

Li Yi'an murmured in his heart, but immediately ordered the remaining [-] soldiers to be on strict guard on the tower of Lujin Pass, and they must not slack off.

Soon it was night.

Li Yi'an inspected it once, and went back to the main tent to rest and sleep.

But as soon as he lay down, another feeling of uneasiness came to his heart. He took out the coins to calculate again, stood up suddenly, and then walked out of the barracks and shouted: "All the troops gather!"

His cries woke everyone up.

The soldiers assembled quickly, and after a while, both Chang Sun Chong and Luo Wenlin arrived.

"Emissary Li, what happened?"

Luo Wenlin said out of breath.

"There will be an enemy attack tonight, the whole army is on alert!"

Li Yian shouted.

"An enemy is coming?"

Luo Wenlin looked to the other side of the tower, it was very quiet, it didn't look like there was an enemy attack at all, and asked: "Did the scouts bring any news back?"

"The scout didn't come back!"

"The scouts haven't come back yet, how does Li Shijun know that there is an enemy attack?"

Even Chang Sun Chong felt strange, why did Mr. say that?

"Calculated, all come with me!"

Li Yian shouted again.

"Calculated?"

Luo Wenlin had heard some things about Li Yi'an, but he didn't really believe in these supernatural things, so he hurriedly said: "Li Shijun, how can the calculation be accurate? The soldiers were resting but they were woken up. If there are no enemies to attack tonight , I'm afraid there will be resentment in my heart."

Li Yi'an didn't bother to explain anything to him, so he gathered the soldiers and went directly to the tower.

Luo Wenlin wanted to dissuade him, but at this moment, a drumbeat was heard from the city tower, resounding throughout Lujin Pass.

"Not good... not good!"

A soldier guarding the city ran back and said, "Espastor Li and Esquire Luo, it's too bad, thousands of enemies are coming outside, and they want to attack Lujin Pass!"

"Sure enough, it is here, go and guard the city gate!"

Li Yi'an shouted loudly, leading the soldiers to rush forward.

Luo Wenlin was stunned for a long time, feeling his cheeks were hot for a while, but he couldn't figure out why Li Shijun could calculate so accurately.

On the top of the tower, Li Yi'an looked down and saw thousands of enemies gathered below the city, with torches illuminating a large darkness.

The enemy attacked at night, and the soldiers guarding the gate were caught off guard. Before they had time to defend, they saw the ladder erected, and then hundreds of enemies climbed onto the tower.

Those rebels are so bold that they dare to attack Lujin Pass!

"kill!"

Li Yi'an yelled, raised a Mo Dao and rushed over.

Although the current Modao has changed a batch, they are all replaced among the defenders in the Central Plains, and the Southwest is not so fast.

Ordinary soldiers still use ordinary knives, but Li Yi'an already uses steel knives.

He slashed down with a knife, and the oncoming enemy was cut in half on the spot, and blood splashed all over his face.

Smelling the bloody smell around him, Li Yi'an became bloodthirsty and continued to kill the enemy.

When the soldiers saw the bravery of the commander, they also became murderous.

After a while, hundreds of enemies who climbed up the ladder were all killed by them.

It turns out that this is the feeling of going to the battlefield to kill the enemy.

Only then did Li Yi'an realize it.

Even Chang Sun Chong joined the fight with a Mo knife.

"Destroy the ladder first!"

Li Yi'an wiped the blood from his cheeks and shouted again.

Some soldiers moved wood and stones specially used for defending the city, and smashed them down towards the ladder.

The sound of fighting continued in the dark night.

Li Yi'an secretly rejoiced that he took away all 8000 people in Yizhou as a precaution, otherwise he would not know what to use to defend the city tonight.

After fighting until the middle of the night, the war was considered to be over. The enemy could not break through and had to retreat.
