Chapter 5 Determining the Universe

Fu Junmao carefully picked the whole plant "Mei Lan" and handed it to my hand and said, "The next thing is to rely on my husband to evaporate the water of the flower, and then I can grind it into powder."

I took "Mei Lan" and smiled and spread my palms. I saw "Mei Lan" slowly rising on the palm of my hand, and then still in the air above my palm. The air shaped like a stream of water gradually spread around "Mei Lan". A hot wave of heat came to my face, and the girls around me also felt that there seemed to be a small sun shining in front of me. After a while, the moisture of "Mei Lan" had been slowly dried up, and the leaves were shrinking into a ball.

I carefully handed the steamed "Mei Lan" to Fu Junhuan. Then several people left the garden happily. After a while, Fu Junhuan ran back again, holding a bowl-shaped sandy utensil in his hand, which contained some light blue powder. But Fu Junhuan said to me: "I almost forgot that I still need some juice on the "Mei Lan" rattan."

I smiled and said, "No problem, wait for me for a while." He flashed into the garden and pulled off the rattan section, squeezed the juice from the rattan into the vessel as she told me, watching Fu Junya mix these together, and then evaporated the powder again as she told me, and the powder was ink black at this time.

Fu Junniu gently wiped the sweat from her forehead and breathed a sigh of relief, "It's finally done."

I looked at the ink-black powder and said, "Is that all? Where do we need to touch these powders to attract the pigeons to the pasture? Do we need to touch the trees?"

The others were also surprised because there was too little powder and they couldn't help but worry.

Fu Junhao said, "You are very relieved. Although these powders are small, they are enough to affect the direction of the pigeons. Hehe, your husband can just wait to catch the pigeons. But if the four major bandits did not communicate with Fu Gongyou or had already passed the letter with Fu Gongyou, Jun'er would have no choice."

I said, "I know that there is no way for us to do this. Success or failure is here. We must take a look at it no matter what. If we are lucky, we can grasp the opportunity of the battle. If we fail, we have to think of his own way."

We did it as soon as we said, and we all came to a relatively remote open space in the pasture. The reason we did this was to avoid Chai Shao's eyes and ears, so that we would not know what connection he had with the four major enemies. If the news leaked, we would be wasted all our efforts. Fu Junmao simply placed the powder containing "spicy blue" on the open space, and then we dodged in a straw shed not far away, waiting quietly for the carrier pigeon.

As time passed by, our mood became heavier and heavier. Shang Xiuxun comforted one by one. It seemed that she was the only one among everyone. In fact, everyone knew that Shang Xiuxun was forcing her to smile at this time. She was more anxious than each of us. But at this time she felt that she had an obligation to relax us, because we were not from the ranch and had no interest in the past. However, we took the risk to support the ranch without hesitation, willingly running around for the pasture, and saved the ranch. The gratitude in her heart was extremely awesome, so she forced her to smile and comfort everyone. She even put down the airs of the owner's lady and went back to the kitchen to make some side dishes and sent them to the straw shed.

I stood beside me, staring at the distant sky without blinking. Although I was hungry, I had no appetite. Shang Xiuxun saw it, and was in pain. He quietly filled a bowl of rice and added some side dishes to me and said, "Brother Tian, ​​you have been standing here motionless for two hours, and the drip of water has not flowed in. How can your body be able to eat if this continues? Let Xiuxun look here for a while, Brother Tian, ​​let's take a break and eat something first."

I turned my head, looked at her, and smiled and said softly: "My mind is now on this pigeon. It is the key to the whole game. There is no mistake. There will be no problem if you don't eat it. My eyesight is far better than you. If you wait a little longer, we will have more hope." After that, I turned my head and looked at the sky like a statue.

Seeing that I was unwilling to eat, Shang Xiuxun said anxiously: "No, how can I not eat? It will take a long time to eat a bowl of rice. Brother Tian, ​​Xiuxun begs you, so let's eat something first." At the end of the conversation, the tone was already full of crying.

Helplessly, I was about to bear the white rice in her hand, but suddenly I found a black dot in the sky approaching here. My hand stopped, my eyes tightly resisted Heiding, gathered my eyes and looked at it, and my face was filled with joy: "Haha, I finally waited for you for a few hours. I finally waited for you, a little beast. Don't think about leaving again when I came."

After saying that, his body rose up from the ground and jumped into the air. His palms also moved to the black dot from afar. The pigeon flapped its wings and struggled with horror. Unfortunately, there was an invisible force that sucked it into my hand. I couldn't wait to take the letter from the pigeon's legs, and then turned it back into the straw shed. I handed the pigeon to Shang Xiuxun beside him, opened the letter and saw that it read:

I am now thinking about a good plan to defeat the enemy. I have obtained good strategies and waited for the opportunity. I hope the general can stabilize Li Jiancheng's army for a few days. When the time is right, I will inform the general of the good strategies. Brother Sanjue takes advantage of it.

I chanted in a low voice and said, "The four words I said last time were indeed the code words for the four great gangs and Fu Gongyou to communicate, but I still couldn't figure out what the rules were based on."

Wei Zhenzhen said, "My husband takes the letter to me. Maybe I can find something."

I smiled and handed her the letter paper, and said with a smile: "Maybe this is true. Women's observations are always more careful than men's observations." But in my heart, I was already thinking about what should be done after cracking the code words.

Wei Zhenzhen took the letter, and Fu Junma and other women also sat around. After a while, Fu Junqian shouted excitedly: "Haha, I understand."

I hurriedly stepped to her side and asked anxiously: "What did you find? Tell me quickly."

Fu Junying smiled and said, "Actually, this code is quite simple. Husband looked carefully and saw that there were four characters on the letter paper with a slight difference from other characters, and the color was slightly less heavy. I think this should be the code word for Fu Gongyou to reply to the next time."

I observed it carefully, and it turned out that the ink traces of the four words "Ru, Liang, Steady, Jun" as Fu Jun said, were slightly heavier than the other words. I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart. I didn't expect that I would turn a blind eye to such a simple code. Fortunately, Fu Junqian observed the subtlety, otherwise wouldn't it be a waste of the opportunity to fight.

Thinking of this, I had no time to think about it anymore: "In this way, I can implement the plan in my heart. Xiuxun quickly went to get the pen, ink, paper and inkstone. When I prepare a letter for the four great enemies and Fu Gongyou, are you still afraid that he will not be deceived?"

Shang Xiuxun smiled and said, "I had expected Brother Tian to have this need, so Xiuxun brought it together." After that, he turned around, took out the four treasures of the study from the basket, handed them to me, and then smiled at me.

I looked at Shang Xiuxun's face like a flower, then spread out the paper and wrote: "According to my subordinates, the Pegasus Ranch has recently transferred the property and the stallion in the ranch to the valley to the north..." When I wrote here, I suddenly turned my head and asked Shang Xiuxun: "Xiuxun, if the wealth or stallion in the ranch is transported to the valley to the valley to the north of the ranch, how long will it take?"

Shang Xiuxun thought for a while and said, "It will take about six days."

I nodded and then wrote: "I hope that General and I will send troops to attack our army six days later. Then a battle can determine the universe. Brother Sanjue took advantage of it." Among them, I chose four words casually to increase the ink trace.

Wei Zhenzhen and other women looked at it and said, "Why are the four words that your husband has added to the ink traces different from the four words "Ru Liangwen Jun"?"

I smiled and said, "These four words are just code words for the next reply letter. After we intercept his letter, we only need to add these four words. As for the four words written this time, it doesn't matter."

After saying that, tie the letter paper to the legs of the pigeon and let it fly. Then, a letter paper with roughly the same content was written, indicating the four words "Ru Liangwenjun". Just wait until Fu Gongyou's letter paper is intercepted and then replace the letter paper.

I looked at Shang Xiuxun and said, "Now the plan is 30% long, we can have a good meal. After the meal, there is something to do. Xiuxun has to do."

Shang Xiuxun nodded happily and said, "Brother Tian is just asking. Xiuxun must obey the rules."

I said, "Xiuxun can now order a few people to be scattered around here. When Tokyo, which is closely monitoring the sky, he will immediately report to me. In this way, we can realize our other 30% of our plan."

Shang Xiuxun ordered, and then the few people returned to the ranch excitedly. After having a happy lunch, they discussed this plan again.

I neglected the tea in Min's hand and said, "Now Xiuxun has two things to do. First, try to maintain his previous attitude towards Cashao, so as not to be close, so as not to be suspicious. Second, in a while, he informed them to transport the goods and stallions to the valley to the north in the hall where all the leaders of the ranch and the people of Sai Shao and others were summoned. He also shared his strength to defend..." This, this, after saying this, Shang Zhen couldn't help but applaud.

After careful discussion for half an hour, Shang Xiuxun summoned all the leaders, including Chai Shao and others to the conference hall according to the plan.

After everyone sat down, they heard Shang Xiuxun say: "After our spies' reward, the four major bandits may launch a large-scale attack on the ranch in the near future. In order to ensure that the stallions and valuables on the ranch will not be lost during the melee, I decided to transport all of these to the open space in the valley north of the ranch, so that I could escape the disaster. The terrain there is dangerous, so we only need to arrange a very small number of troops to rest assured, and then concentrate all the main forces on the ranch to deal with the attack of the four major bandits. I wonder what the leaders here have to say."

One of the leaders looked left and right, stood up and said, "The owner's plan is indeed desirable, but the ranch is low. The four major bandits can understand every move of the ranch just by looking down. These actions of our stallions and good horses and precious property will definitely not escape their surveillance. If they divide their troops to attack the valley at that time, our losses will be immeasurable."

Several other leaders also agreed.

Shang Zhen said: "This problem is not bad even if they find it. I think several of you have been to the valley to the north, and you should have some understanding of the terrain there. It is definitely easy to defend but difficult to attack. The four major bandits do not have the courage to attack the ranch from there. Otherwise, the four major bandits had already attacked the ranch from there with such a name."

The boss of this name thought about it and felt that what Shang Zhen said was very reasonable, so he sat back.

Chai Shao was puzzled in his heart. It sounded that Shang Xiuxun's move did make some sense, but he didn't know why she suddenly ordered the action to be implemented. He said in his heart: We must show it well this time no matter what. Xiuxun's favorability to me, which is so good that she can fight against me is blamed for me in the garden, otherwise I might have been pregnant with a beauty.

Chai Shao made a secret decision in his heart that he must seize this opportunity to eliminate the four major enemies while winning the return of the beauty.

Shang Xiuxun looked around and then said, "In addition to transporting goods in the past few days, he will also send additional personnel to defend the ranch to prevent the four major bandits from attacking." After that, he arranged two thousand people to defend the valley every day. He arranged for five days in a row. He was about to continue the sixth day, but Chai Shao suddenly stopped him and said, "Suixun, wait."

Shang Xiuxun smiled in his heart, but said without a look on his face: "Why did Mr. Chai stop Xiuxun from defending the ranch? At this time, it is related to the survival of the ranch, and it is also undespairable for a moment. If it is a private matter that has nothing to do with the ranch, please let Mr. Chai talk about it later. Xiuxun is now in a hurry."

Chai Shao smiled and said, "I am here to help the ranch. How can I wander around the garden like some people? So the sixth day of the garrison Wan Wangxiuxun was handed over to Chai to do it, so that Chai and his subordinates could make this trip worthwhile and contribute a little effort to the ranch." But he smiled in his heart and said, "This labor-saving and pleasing errand is the best. You must never let the person named Long go."

Shang Xiuxun deliberately looked embarrassed and said, "This... Mr. Chai is a guest from afar, but how dare you trouble the young master?"

Chai Shao laughed, patted his chest and said, "What did Xiuxun say? You can feel at ease to hand it over to Chai. What's the trouble?"

Shang Xiuxun said, "Since that's the case, my younger sister has to be respectful and obey her orders. Then there will be a hard work for the guards of the valley on the sixth day. Xiuxun thanked the young master before the ranch."

Chai Shao couldn't help but feel proud. Shang Xiuxun made detailed arrangements for several days, but those who are familiar with the entire plan knew that this was just a carefully prepared scene to relieve Chai Shao's suspicion. After the distribution was made, everyone dispersed and began to handle the matter of transporting goods on the ranch.

At night, Mao Ji came to the ranch to peek at the truth, but saw that the horses were quietly transferring wealth and horses in the ranch, so he immediately returned to the camp to report to Cao Yinglong. At the same time, Chai Shao also sent someone to send letters to the four major bandits to inform them of the intention of the ranch's action. At the same time, in the camp of the four major bandits, the spy arranged by Fu Gongyou also reported Mao Ji to come and what he observed during the day to truthfully report to Fu Gongyou. And we were deploying everything in secret, taking advantage of the enemy's actions to transfer wealth and goods to the ranch, and then secretly set up trap mechanisms around the ranch, and secretly sent people to set up hidden observation points above the valley, secretly monitoring every move in the valley.

After working on the ranch for a day, I was finally told that I had found the traces of the pigeons, so I quickly rushed to the place where "Mei Lan", grabbed the pigeons hovering in the air, replaced them with the prepared letter paper, and set the date of attacking the ranch on the sixth day. After a while, I caught the pigeons who had replied to the four major bandits. After the change and the date and direction of the attack on the ranch, I released the pigeons to Fu Gongyou. As a result, the entire plan had been achieved by 90%. The only difference was the attack of the four major bandits and Hefei Jun.

Another day later, Shang Xiuxun finally couldn't help but feel nervous and asked me with some concern: "Brother Tian, ​​Chai Shao, will the four major gangsters Aiyoufu Gongyou be fooled?

I smiled and said, "If they are all smart people, they will definitely be fooled, because each of them believes too much about what they see. People like them must put their own eyeliners in other forces, even if they are allies, and everything they see undoubtedly represents what they see with their own eyes. So they will believe in the transfer of goods on the ranch and will never expect that this is our plan to kill three birds with one stone. So sometimes don't believe too much or rely on what they see, and what they see with their own eyes may be fake."

After a few days, things were going on according to our plan. Now the only thing that made us worry is no longer the four major bandits who were preparing to attack the ranch and the Hefei army, but how long can Fu Gongyou restrain Li Jiancheng's army? If Li Jiancheng defeated the enemy and came to support two days earlier, our entire plan would be disrupted. Fortunately, Fu Gongyou was still very successful and finally persisted until the sixth day.

After breakfast in the morning, I went out for a walk with Song Yuzhi and Fu Junmao. When I arrived at the empty grassland of the pasture, I happened to meet Chai Shao's golden clothes, wearing tight soft armor, and heroically led the elite soldiers of the Li family to the valley. When Chai Shao came by me, he deliberately stood up and smiled and said, "Brother Long is so excited that he can take a walk here. I can compare with Brother Long. Recently, it was my turn to be on duty and rush to the canyon to guard the canyon. It's not as leisurely as Brother Long. It's really enviable. I'm afraid that not only me, but people in the whole pasture are envious of Brother Long's leisure." Then he turned to Song Yuzhi and said, "Miss Third, I'm so lucky. I found a good man with such leisure and leisure." Then he looked at us contemptuously, and left with a smile without waiting for me to speak.

I watched him gradually disappear from our vision and said disdainfully: "Only wise men who are good at strategizing and winning thousands of miles away will have the leisure and leisure as I do, but I'm afraid Brother Chai will not see it."

When we saw Shang Xiuxun and Shang Zhen in the hall, we obviously felt excitement and tension flashing in our eyes. Tonight's battle was the battle of the universe that determines the fate of the ranch. There was no room for mistakes, otherwise it would be a disaster of overturning.

I smiled heartily, took a joke to liven up the somewhat dull and nervous atmosphere, and then said: "Are all the ambush, trap mechanisms ready?"

Shang Zhen nodded and said, "It's all right, and it's a little more than we expected. Just wait for the four major bandits and Fu Gongyou to attack tonight."

I nodded and asked, "Have you ever captured the communication between them again?"

Shang Xiuxun replied: "No, I'm afraid it's to avoid leaking news before the war. They seem to have deliberately terminated the contact. It's just that we don't know the specific time of their attack, otherwise our chances of winning will be greater."

I said, "They should still choose to attack after the time, because this time is the most sleepy moment for people and is most conducive to their attack. And we can seize this opportunity. Let us leave it to Mr. Shang, Jun Qian, Jun Yu, Su Su and Yu Zhi to stay here, and we must ensure the safety of Mr. Shang. Zhenzhen and Jun Wu followed me to the valley to add a fire to Mr. Chai and Fu Gongyou. Haha, Chai Shao would never think of the troops who would attack the valley. "

Shang Xiuxun said, "Why did Brother Tian judge that the attacker of the valley must be Fu Gongyou's men?"

I said, "The four major bandits have completed the encirclement of the ranch, so there will be no other changes to prevent the breaking of the formation they have finally completed. The Hefei army of Fu Gongyou was originally closer to the entrance of the valley, so they would definitely not seek far away. At the same time, there are fewer defenders defending the valley, so he is also happy to do it."

After saying that, I pondered the entire deployment tonight with Shang Zhen and others in detail. If it goes well, when the battle on the valley ends, the four major bandits should still be struggling in the traps of the ranch and have not yet fought with the cavalry of the ranch. After we agreed on everything, it was already dark, we took action separately as planned.

I, Wei Zhenzhen, Fu Junhao, Shang Xiuxun and the Eighteen Cavalry, hid in a hidden place above the valley, quietly observing all the movements of the valley. I looked and said, "This Chai Shao has some skills, not a flamboyant playboy. Look at his camp arrangement in the valley open space, which is a method of military corpses' virtuality. However, he ignored one thing, that is, this is the sudden wide area in the center of the valley. Once the enemy sets fire, it will surely ignite the entire camp."

Shang Xiuxun couldn't help but admire my military mind. He raised his head and looked at me with admiration. Seeing that I was looking at the hill opposite, he couldn't help but be curious and asked, "What's wrong? Brother Tian found something wrong on the other side?"

I shook my head in a daze and said, "Ah...no...no." But I always felt a strange feeling in my heart. Time flew away unconsciously, and the blink of an eye had passed, and I clearly felt a team of people moving quietly into the valley outside the valley. The number was about 20,000, and they had arrived at the entrance of the valley. Then the murderous aura flashed at the entrance of the valley, and the breath of the two guards at the entrance of the valley disappeared. I thought that they had been killed by the other party's cold arrows. Such dark night could be killed with one arrow accurately. There must be people in the team who were proficient in archery art.

From a distance, 20,000 people hesitated in the valley for a while, but they still lined up into a long snake and meandered along the valley path. Just as the snake head was about to reach the valley, a crisp alarm sounded in the valley. The long snake was slightly confused for a while, but in the blink of an eye, it was obvious that the training was fast. In a short while, a thousand people gathered in the valley path, and the two sides confronted each other.

Then Chai Shao's cold voice came from below, "Cao Yinglong, you dare not keep your reputation and attack the Pegasus Ranch two days earlier than the time we scheduled. And if I expected it would be right, the prince's 30,000 troops must have been secretly colluding with other forces to stop them on the way to aid."

The opponent's men were silent.

Chai Shao continued, "What? Don't you dare to admit it? Hehe, that's okay. Anyway, you will die here tonight. As for the forces behind you, it doesn't matter whether they say it or not."

At this time, a voice sounded from the other party's troops: "Young Master Chai is so bold. Is it just a few thousand soldiers behind you like the 20,000 tiger and wolf army that blocks me from Hefei? You are too overestimating your ability."

Chai Shao was shocked and blurted out: "Fu Gongyou? How could it be you?... Damn, it turns out that the person who colluded with the four major enemies secretly was you. I said why a team of people came out to stop us halfway? It turned out that it was your good thing..."

Chai Shao was still scolding him tirelessly. I could no longer stop and cursed softly: "It's so fucking long-lasting, let me help you." After that, he pulled out a feather arrow from the quiver behind him and threw his hand into the valley behind Chai Shao.

Shang Xiuxun was puzzled in his heart how I could throw an arrow like this, but when he saw the feather arrow flying behind Chai Shao's men and horses, he suddenly turned the arrow and passed through the gap between a thousand horses, and entered the Hefei army. Three soldiers were immediately penetrated and fell off their horses and died. Fu Gongyou was furious and shouted: "Kill!" The Hefei army rushed towards Chai Shao's men and horses like a poisonous snake.

However, because the valley road ended in the valley, Fu Gongyou's 20,000 troops were at most less than 3,000 troops able to fight Chai Shao's troops. The Li family's 1,000 elite soldiers were not rookies, and the two sides fought evenly. However, after all, the Hefei army had an absolute advantage in number, and the new force could face it one by one. The battle was extremely tragic. In just a moment, the Hefei army had at least thousands of casualties, and many of them fell to the ground and were trampled to death by their comrades. Chai Shao was also nearly half of the casualties.

I looked and smiled coldly, "It's time for us to act now. Seal the entrances of the valley and start setting fire!" With a command, a loud bang from the entrance of the valley. Several huge rocks were retreated from the valley by the soldiers who had ambushed in advance, and then threw stones into the valley like raindrops. While killing many Hefei troops, they also sealed the entrance. The same was true for the narrow area not far behind Chai Shao's men. Then a can of jars filled with oil were thrown down the valley, and then the valley turned into a sea of ​​fire. The sound of ghosts and wolves howling was extremely miserable and endless. Shang Xiuxun couldn't bear to look at it anymore, so he turned his face away.

Chai Shao's heart-wrenching howl sounded in the sea of ​​fire: "Battleman named Long! Even if I am a ghost, I will not let you go!"

I spat coldly into the valley, then turned to Shang Xiuxun and said, "Xiuxun, don't be ruthless to the enemy, otherwise we will end up like this in the future. Things here are a foregone conclusion, so let's go to the ranch to help."

Shang Xiuxun nodded and rushed to the ranch with me, leaving behind Eighteen Cavalry to handle the matters in the valley.

As expected, the 40,000 troops of the four major bandits were now struggling in the pasture and could not be defended. With the continuous attacks of two thousand archers, more than half of them were injured and had no formation at this time. The team of the four major bandits was originally a group of mobs, and the 40,000 troops was equivalent to the combat effectiveness of the 10,000 troops, and they were even more defeated at this time.

Seeing that I came to help, until the valley was safe, Shang Zhen waved the flag and immediately rushed out of thousands of iron cavalry from around him, rolling up his aura and rushed towards the four major bandits. When did the four major bandits experience such a powerful cavalry attack, and they were defeated like a mountain. No matter how Cao Yinglong was in charge of command, he was powerless. The cavalry impact on the ranch did not end at once, but thousands of cavalry were divided into three groups. After the first batch of attacks, they immediately passed through the enemy's team, and then returned to the high ground launched by the impact and formed a formation and attack again. This cycle continued
Chapter completed!
