Chapter 411 Chapter 414 Unpredictable
Shen Mu said: "This is indeed a great momentum, why do you only say that it is a superficial appearance?"

Xu Xingzhi analyzed: "Li Zitong had to take the risk of attacking Shen Faxing, because his old nest in the north, Donghai, was occupied by us, and in the west, there was Du Fuwei's invincible Jianghuai force, so the only spearhead for development was Shen Faxing, the old enemy in the south of the Yangtze River."

Xu Ziling was surprised and said: "Compared to Shen Faxing, the Young Commander's army is obviously weak and outnumbered. Why did Li Zitong choose the strong and give up the weak, instead of counterattacking, he turned to Jiangnan."

The way to do it: "Shoot the weak and choose the strong to find out the key point. Li Zitong knows that we are unable to invade Jiangdu, so first we will do our best to deal with Shen Faxing who poses a threat to him."

Shen Mu nodded and said: "Jianghuai Army has no time to pay attention to Li Zitong because of the serious disagreement between the two giants Du Fuwei and Fugong Er. No wonder he is so presumptuous."

Xuan Yongdao: "How long does the young commander think Luoyang can defend?"

Shen Mu said: "Wang Shichong's appointment of his clan is not useless. He himself is a commander who has experienced many battles, and now he is desperately piling up food and grass in the city. Even if Luoyang becomes an isolated city, he can at least defend it for a year or so."

Xu Xingzhi sighed: "Then Li Shimin will most likely be defeated. He will not only have to overcome Song Jingang's army mixed with Turkic elites, but also deal with Dou Jiande's army. In addition, the soldiers in Guanzhong have been fighting for a long time and miss their relatives. If they attack Luoyang, they will suffer heavy casualties. , the situation is very bad for him.”

Bu Tianzhi said: "After defeating Song Jingang, Li Shimin can switch from attack to defense to consolidate the lost ground."

Xuan Yongdao: "This is the worst strategy. Once Yuhuaji is destroyed, Dou Jiande's army will sweep along the north bank of the Dahe River like a tidal wave without a dike. If Li Shimin fails to capture Luoyang before this situation happens, he will lose all his hard work outside the pass. If you are forced to retreat to the pass, you can only sit back and watch Dou Jiandexiong dominate the outside of the pass."

Shen Mu said: "Boy Li is well aware of the key to this, so he adopts the seemingly incomprehensible strategy at present, but let Li Shimin be the reincarnation of Marquis Wu and Sun Wu reincarnation, and it will be a year or so before he captures Luoyang. Regardless of who wins and who loses, unless we are willing to give up our weapons and surrender, the fire will burn us, so what is the best way to deal with it?"

Falsely speaking, he said with a smile: "Young commander already has a well-thought-out plan, why do you need to act ugly?"

Xuan Yong said in a deep voice: "Attack Jiangdu?"

Shen Mu said: "Only by obtaining Jiangdu can we hope to resist the north and the south. Now that we have all the gold in the treasure house, we will not worry about financial shortages. We will use all our strength to expand the army and prepare for war before the fall of Luoyang. However, we must not blindly expand the army. The burden of the warehouse will further reduce the quality of the young marshals."

Xuan Yong patted his chest and promised: "This bag is on us, all soldiers who are not up to standard will be eliminated, and we will never recruit recruits indiscriminately."

Bu Tianzhi said: "We can claim to the outside world that we have obtained a large amount of gold from Cao Yinglong, then even if we have plenty of money, it will not arouse suspicion."

Xu Xingzhi smiled and said: "Peng Liang's development is very ideal, young commander can rest assured to deal with Yu Wenhuaji."

Shen Mu slapped the table and praised: "Xingzhi must be the roundworm in my stomach, and he can actually understand my mind."

Xu Ziling smiled and said, "Just because you asked us to meet here, I know that your brother has no intention of returning to Pengliang."

Shen Mu smiled wryly, "Master Ling is here to play tricks on me again."

Turning to Xu Xingzhi and others, he said: "During the preparation period, there are two things that must be carried out separately. The first is to get in touch with Gui Xiliang of the Bamboo Flower Gang, and use them to grasp the situation in Jiangdu and the south; Ma Muma secretly bought a batch of first-class war horses, which Shang Xiuxun personally agreed to. The day I, Shen Mu, return to Pengliang is the time to attack Jiangdu."

The three of them responded abruptly.

After bidding farewell to the three of Xu Xing, Shen Mu disguised himself as a fisherman and sailed his fishing boat to the north.

The weather suddenly turned bad, and the wind and snow hit. They had to moor their fishing boats to the shore for shelter.Not afraid of the cold, the two sat outside the canopy to enjoy the snowy scenery of Tongji Canal.

Shen Mu said: "In another hour, you can reach Dahe in the north, then turn right and go down the east, and you can reach Xucheng, the old nest of the Yuwen Clan in two days. Back then, Emperor Yang had not returned to the west, thinking how powerful the Yuwen Clan was, but now it is At the end of the road, Xu Yuanlang surrendered to Dou Jiande, doomed to the fate of Yuwenhua."

Xu Ziling watched a gust of wind blowing rain and snow across the vast canal like a wall, and said in a deep voice: "Since Yu Wenhua attacked Liangdu and returned with lost troops, all they have left is to be slaughtered, Xu Yuanlang Taking refuge in Dou Jiande made them even more trapped in all directions, with no way out."

Shen Mudao: "Now Yuwenhua's relatives are leading an army to fight against Li Shiji and Li Shentong's army in Wei County on the east bank of Yongji Canal to fight for the control of Yongji Canal. In my opinion, Yuwenhua's bone can't last long. We are so direct. If you rush to Wei County, there is a high possibility that you will miss nothing."

Xu Ziling frowned and said, "If you don't come to Wei County, where should you go?"

Shen Mu analyzed: "What we lack is news and intelligence, so there is no way to get started."

Xu Ziling said: "You want to ask Liu Heita for help?"

Shen Mu smiled wryly and said, "I will see Dou Jiande sooner or later, just because the relationship between you and me is ambiguous, so I have to go around a few times before speaking out to test Master Ling's reaction."

Xu Ziling laughed dumbly and said, "It's called a guilty conscience. But finding Liu Heita is not as easy as finding the bones of Yu Wenhua, and it takes time to get back and forth. If Li Shiji kills the bones of Yu Wenhua, we will regret it."

Shen Mu scratched his head and said, "I can't say enough about you..."

Xu Ziling cut him off and said, "Because you have selfish intentions, you can't speak against me."

Shen Mu lost his voice and said: "Selfishness, I, Shen Mu, have no selfishness for my mother's affairs?"

Xu Ziling laughed heartily and said, "It's never easy to get to know someone, and it's even more difficult to know yourself clearly. I haven't had a chance to ask you yet, how did you pass Ning Daoqi's test?"

Shen Mu said sternly: "My good boy, make it clear that you won't give me a chance to defend myself. Okay, my lord has a lot, so I don't care about you."

Shen Mu and Xu Ziling successfully found Yang Gongqing in the former Migong Mansion in Xingyang.

Yang Gongqing never thought that the two would come hand in hand, and said happily, "I'm having a headache just looking for you."

Shen Mu asked in surprise, "What's the matter?"

A person strode out from the inner hall, laughed and said: "Where do we never meet in life. I never thought that the two brothers would come to the door, so as to save the little brother from the pain of searching."

The person who came here was chic and romantic, it was the "passionate son" Hou Xibai.

Seeing their old friend suddenly, the two were very happy.

Shen Mu laughed loudly and said, "I thought you would hide in the deep mountains and poor valleys, how could you expect you to run around?"

Xu Ziling smiled and said: "The big hermit lives in the city, Brother Hou is unwilling to be lonely, how can he live without the company of his confidante?"

Hou Xibai said: "Zi Ling is just joking! These days my little brother has disappeared from the Red Chamber and Chu Pavilion, and I only miss you in my heart, and I think very bitterly."

Shen Mu exclaimed exaggeratedly: "Scared! Young Master Ling and I are not good at this."

Hou Xibai laughed dumbly and said, "Young commander came to tease me again, I just exaggerated what I said, otherwise how can I express my gratitude in my heart."

Shen Mu made a straight face on purpose and said: "But your handsome husband-in-law's appearance will make people suspicious!"

The three of them looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

Yang Gongqing also made them laugh at each other, and felt that the three of them had no intentions and were full of sincere friendship.No matter in the officialdom or in the arena, it is commendable.He hurriedly said, "Sit down and talk."

The four of them sat down around the table, and Yang Gongqing personally poured tea for each of them.

Xu Ziling said: "How did Brother Hou know how to find us through Yang Gong?"

Hou Xibai said: "After leaving Chang'an, I first arrived in Luoyang and stayed in Xingyang for more than ten years. I can be regarded as a bit of a face in this area, but I didn't get the wind until after the commander-in-chief left Luoyang. Shuai has a close relationship, so I don't mind asking General Yang for help."

The two remembered that when Rong Fengxiang presented the birthday wine, Hou Xibai was one of the guests, which proved that he enjoyed a lot in Luoyang.

In this kind of cultural city, he must be very popular just because of his painting skills, let alone his skills are more than that.

Shen Mu said: "Mr. Yang is one of his own, and he has nothing to hide. How is Brother Hou's Immortal Seal?"

Yang Gongqing had never heard of the seal of immortality, so he didn't respond.

Hou Xibai happily smiled and said: "Haste is waste, I just follow fate, and now I can say that I have achieved a small success. Thank you, Young Commander, for your concern."

Shen Mu sighed: "I have to care about you. Because the relic has fallen into the hands of the Lingshi, he announced that he will retreat for one year and will come to test your kung fu at any time after one year."

Hou Xi's Baijun's face changed slightly, and he said with a wry smile, "This news will make me work harder."

Yang Gongqing finally couldn't help asking: "What relic? Who is Mr. Hou's master?"

After Shen Mu explained, Yang Gongqing knew that the real treasure fell into the hands of the two, and was very moved by Shen Mu's confidence.

Hou Xibai was stunned when he heard this, shook his head and sighed: "I never thought that you could really leave Chang'an with the treasure and make the world think that you failed in the treasure hunt."

Xu Ziling said: "There is a high element of luck in our success."

Hou Xibai said: "Are you going to go to Yu Wenhua and settle old scores?"

Shen Mu was surprised and said, "How did you know?"

Hou Xibai said: "Anyone who knows your background, who doesn't know that you have a deep hatred with Yu Wenhua and Yu Wenhua, and now Yu Wenhua and Yu Wenhua are about to perish. With the usual style of the two elder brothers, I will never let others do it for you Blood feud!"

Shen Mu patted him on the shoulder vigorously and said, "You have it! I respect you for a cup of tea."

The four happily raised tea and respected each other.

After Hou Xibai took a sip of hot tea, he smiled and said, "Since this is the case, we can fight side by side!"

Xu Ziling was puzzled, "What's the difference between you and Yu Wenhuaji?"

Hou Xibai shrugged and said: "He has a festival with you, wait if he has a festival with me, Hou Xibai. A few days ago, Yu Wenhuaji's number one confidant and my old acquaintance Zhang Shihe came to Luoyang to find me and asked me to be Yu Wenhuaji's concubine." Mrs. Wei painted a portrait at the price of a huge and authentic landscape scroll."

Yang Gongqing said strangely: "When soldiers come to the city, the country will be destroyed and the family will be destroyed at any time. Yu Wenhuaji still has such leisurely feelings."

Shen Mu and Xu Ziling had a strange feeling in their hearts. The Yu Wenhua in their hearts had always been cruel and ruthless, without any human nature. They didn't know that there was such a warm and affectionate side.

Shen Mu asked: "Who is Juran?"

Hou Xi shook his head and said, "Jingguan and Dong Ju are the four great masters of the pioneering period of landscape painting. Juran himself is an eminent monk with a noble and elegant style of painting. It is a pity that there are not many works handed down from generation to generation. Frankly speaking, this reward is indeed true. It makes my little brother feel excited."

Xu Ziling said in a deep voice, "Where are they asking you to go?"

Hou Xibai said: "Of course it's Xucheng, the capital of Wei State!"

Shen Mu asked Yang Gongqing, "How is Yu Wenhua's current situation?"

Yang Gongqing said: "It is quite remarkable to be able to defend the first month. According to Li Shiji's usual style, if Wei County is captured, he will definitely take advantage of the victory and pursue it with all his strength, so that Yu Wenhuaji will not have a chance to recover."

Xu Ziling said: "Is there any movement on Dou Jiande's side?"

Yang Gongqing said: "It can be described as staring at the tiger. Dou Jiande is gathering heavy troops in several cities close to the Wei border. He can send troops to invade Wei at any moment."

Shen Mu scratched his head and said, "It's really a headache, but in my opinion, Yu Wenhuaji shouldn't die so easily, even if he loses, he will return to Xucheng, right?"

Xu Ziling said: "How did Brother Hou reply to that Zhang Shihe?"

Hou Xibai smiled and said: "The old friend's business is my Hou Xibai's business. Of course, my younger brother is willing to agree."

Shen Mu patted the table and said, "That's it!"

Yang Gongqing said: "There is one more thing. We have recently received news that Jie Liben was going to lead an army in person, together with Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang to invade Taiyuan. In the end, because of Tuli's return, he launched a war against Jieli. Li couldn't do it himself, so he had to use the current method of sending men and horses to strengthen Song Jingang's army."

Hou Xibai said: "So, the young general and Ziling have indeed done Li Shimin a huge favor."

Yang Gongqing said: "It should be said that I have done everyone in the Central Plains a favor. The Turkic people are used to being horse thieves, killing people, setting fires, and raping and looting. If they are allowed to drive straight to the Central Plains, they will cause extremely serious damage."

Xu Ziling smiled wryly and said, "According to the current situation, the Turkic people will come from northern Xinjiang one day."

Shen Mu changed the topic and said to Hou Xibai: "Young Master Hou! May I ask how we can sneak into Xu Cheng?"

Hou Xibai opened the beauty fan with a "crack", shook it leisurely, and said with a smile, "Do you know how lions and leopards hunt?"

Shen Mu said in astonishment, "I haven't even seen a lion or leopard, so how do I know how they forage?"

Hou Xibai said: "This is what Master Shi said when he was training me, and it left a deep impression on me."

Shen Mu and Xu Ziling knew that it was Shi Zhixuan who said it, and they both showed concern, because the more they can figure out Shi Zhixuan's background, the better the chance to save their lives in the future.Now that Shi Zhixuan who still has flaws is so powerful, what will happen to Shi Zhixuan who will come out in a year is even more unimaginable.

Yang Gongqing said with great interest: "I once met a person who was wounded by a leopard. The wound was terrible."

Hou Xibai said: "Unless they are old lions and hungry leopards, they seldom hurt people. They all have fixed targets and understand the habits and reactions of their prey before attacking to increase the chance of success."

Shen Mu showed a thoughtful look, and said: "This is exactly in line with the purpose of the military strategists. The so-called knowing yourself and the enemy, you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles."

Hou Xibai said in a deep voice: "Lions and leopards are both masters of hunting. They are dispatched in groups of lions, like an invincible army on the grassland; leopards are ghosts in the wilderness. They come and go alone, and there are many lone robbers Demeanor."

Xu Ziling said: "The teacher should be more like a leopard, brother Hou is also walking alone."

Yang Gongqing said: "The young commander and Ziling should be two lions!"

Hou Xibai shook his head and said: "They are two dragons. The dragons are not only unpredictable, they can dive into the deep sea, and they can also soar above the nine heavens. They used to be alone, but now they form partners, so they can rule the world. No one can beat them It's sharp."

Xu Ziling was most afraid of being praised in person, so he said awkwardly: "Brother Hou praises you, why don't you talk about lions and leopards."

Hou Xibai said: "When the lions are dispatched, they are recharging their energy and recharging their energy. At the peak state, they never act recklessly, but have precise strategic deployments, and have different strategies in response to different situations. The first is to observe For the enemy, divide the group into two or three groups, lie down on the periphery of the prey, and wait for several hours at any time."

Shen Mu said in shock: "Awesome! Those cattle, horses, sheep and deer, it would be strange not to be frightened by them."

Hou Xibai said: "When they see the true nature of their prey, two or three of the lions will rush forward to disperse and isolate the prey. When the prey falls into their death trap, the lions will come out empty-handed and take turns chasing, Confuse the enemy, ambush and other means to turn prey that run faster than them into delicious food."

Yang Gongqing gasped and said: "It's really scary, just listening to it already makes people's hair stand on end."

Xu Ziling recalled the terrifying scene of the pack of wolves attacking the wild deer on the way to flee Chang'an, and the snow was covered with blood, and asked, "What about the leopard?"

Hou Xibai said: "No animal can run faster than a leopard in a short distance. Its strategy is how to get close to its prey, so all leopards are masters of stealth. As long as they reach a certain distance, almost every hit will hit."

Shen Mu's tiger eyes sparkled, nodded and said: "No wonder Xibai was deeply impressed by Lingshi's words, and it also inspired us a lot. Wei Jun of Yuwenhuaji waits to be alone if he is alone by a group of lions." The flock of sheep under surveillance is doomed to be the prey of lions and leopards. The question is whether to be attacked by lions or leopards."

Hou Xibai said: "After we arrived at Xucheng, we split into the city and I was responsible for going deep into the enemy's formation to investigate the enemy's situation and see how to isolate the prey. As long as the prey enters the hunting range of you two dragons, you will not be inferior to lions and leopards, right? ?”

Xu Ziling and Shen Mu landed at the ferry of the Yellow River in the southeast of Wuyang and set foot on the official road leading to Wuyang.

About three hundred miles northwest of Wuyang is Yuhuahua and Wei County, which fought against the Tang army.Walking eastward from Wuyang and passing through Yuancheng, Shenxian County, and Wushui City, it is Xucheng, the capital city of Wei State, which is the backbone of Yuwen culture.

Hou Xibai's journey was much more enjoyable. He took a boat down the river and went straight to Xucheng to be their vanguard.

The two of them swaggered on the official road with their true colors.
