Pei Yue still lived in the South Camp, and Gu Liang changed him into a military tent. Compared with the side tent where Gu Fan lived before, there were now more tables, chairs, paper and ink in the tent.

When Li Jin's voice sounded outside the tent, Pei Yue was sitting at the table writing.

"Is Brother Yue here?"

"Brother Li, please come in."

Li Jin hung his sword on his waist and said softly, "I just came back from Qingyang Mountain."

Through the two days of getting along with each other, Pei Yue knew that the commander was a rare, capable and simple kind man. After asking him to sit down, he poured a glass of water into his hand and asked with a smile: "They started to climb Qingyang yesterday morning.

Shan, now it’s been a day and a night, how is the progress?”

Qingyang Mountain is the mountain behind the camp, hence the name Qingyang Hill.

The mountain is more than 800 feet high and has a radius of more than 400 miles. There are many trees in the mountain and the road is difficult to find.

Li Jin shook his head and said: "It doesn't look optimistic at the moment. The sentries on the mountain are all the commander's personal soldiers, and they know the mission in advance, so they keep a close eye on them. So far, three sentry soldiers have been discovered and have been disqualified and returned to the east side camp.

inside."

Pei Yue said calmly: "Even so, I only asked the commander for a hundred soldiers. The number is not too many. It is estimated that it is similar to the number of spies that the thieves can release in the mountains. The mountains behind are not small, they should be able to

Think of a way."

Li Jin said: "I have thought of some solutions. Starting from noon yesterday, most of the sentries did not move forward, but found a place to hide. It was not until after dark that they continued to go up, taking advantage of the darkness to avoid the sentries.

"

Pei Yue smiled. Although this method is good, it is of little use in the Hengduan Mountains.

Qingyang Mountain is just a mountain, and the direction of the top of the mountain is fixed, so climbing at night is not a big problem.

The Hengduan Mountains are made up of countless mountains. If you encounter tall woods, you will almost be unable to see your fingers at night and cannot tell the difference between east, west and north. Even if you are not discovered by bandit spies, you will not be able to find your way.

After all, what Fang Rui gave Pei Yue was just a road map, not a navigation system that could locate it at any time. He definitely needed to find distinctive road signs.

Li Jin also thought of this, so he asked with worry: "Brother Yue, can this kind of training really help them learn how to sneak and hide?"

Pei Yue did not hesitate and shook his head directly: "No."

Li Jin looked at him puzzled.

Pei Yue stood up and walked to the table, took a look at what he had written, and said with a smile: "Brother Li, I asked them to climb the mountain, not to train them, but just to give them a test."

"What do you want to test them for?"

"The first hundred people who avoid the sentries and reach the top of the mountain will be organized into a separate sentry, led by my brother Qin Xian. These people are smart, can see far, and are calm, so they are very suitable to be in the team.

Explore the way ahead."

"Use them to clear the eyes and ears of thieves?"

"That's right. In fact, there is no invisibility method in this world that can ignore the enemy's sentry. Brother Li, look at me. I don't look like someone who knows magic, right?"

Li Jin also laughed when he heard this, and his face gradually relaxed.

Not to mention whether Pei Yue's method was effective, at least he was very honest in front of himself, which undoubtedly made Li Jin feel very comfortable.

He is just kind, not slow.

Pei Yue continued: "Your Majesty's decree has limited the date. The time given by Wei Guogong is too short. It is impossible to turn these two thousand people into martial arts masters who can fly over walls and fly over walls within a month, so we need some strategies.

"

"Please speak." Li Jin sat upright and listened attentively.

Pei Yue said: "As I just said, a team of two thousand people has a big target in the mountains. We cannot break it into pieces without being familiar with the terrain. If the twenty sentries split up, let alone find the thief.

, I’m afraid we will soon be separated in the mountains.”

Li Jin nodded and said: "This is also where Wei Guogong is in trouble. When a large army enters the mountains, it is easy to be discovered by thieves. Hide-and-seek in the vast mountains is extremely disadvantageous to us. If it is a small group action, we may not be able to encircle and suppress the thieves."

Pei Yue tapped his finger on the table and said in a deep voice: "This is the crux of the problem. Now that there are two thousand of us entering the mountain, our combat power is the strongest in the South Camp, so we need a sharp knife to go five miles forward."

Explore the route left and right, and make contact with people with sharp ears and eyes on the way. The sharp knife moves forward, clearing out the thieves' ears and eyes along the way. The team will then go straight to the thieves' lair, which can be destroyed in a single battle."

Li Jin looked at the heroic Pei Yue with admiration and said with a smile: "Sure enough, a hero comes from a young age. I guess your methods are more than that, right?"

Pei Yue replied: "In addition to selecting an elite sharp knife from these two thousand people, we also need to put some thought into the equipment."

"equipment?"

Li Jin didn't quite understand that the weapons and armor of the Jingying camp were among the best among the Liang army, and they were more restrained in depriving their soldiers of their pay and drinking their blood, which was completely different from those of the mountain bandits.

Pei Yue walked to Li Jin with the piece of paper, handed it over and said, "Brother Li, please take a look."

Li Jin took it and looked down slowly, his eyes getting brighter and brighter. After reading it, he couldn't help but sigh: "How do you know so much?"

Pei Yue scratched his head and said, "Brother Li, have you forgotten that my master is Mr. Xi? He taught me a lot about military matters."

When Li Jin heard this, he couldn't help but envied this concubine. Gu Liang regarded him as his nephew, and Mr. Xi did not hesitate to teach him. I don't know how many distinguished disciples would be jealous if he told this. He put the piece of paper away and said: "This is

Just leave it to me. Brother Yue, I have to say something up front. It’s not that I don’t work hard, but I’m afraid I can’t get all the things you want.”

Pei Yue asked: "Do you need money to smoothen the relationship? Brother Li, please speak frankly."

Li Jin smiled bitterly and shook his head: "With the honor of being a commander, which quartermaster would have the courage to reach out? However, the two thousand pairs of cowhide boots listed on your list could not be collected even by digging three feet into the warehouse in the general capital.

.”

Pei Yue was startled for a moment, and then realized that this was not the previous life, and the supplies were relatively poor.

He thought for a while and hesitated: "If that's the case, Brother Li can do his best, but at least one hundred pairs must be guaranteed."

Li Jin breathed a sigh of relief and said seriously: "As long as you say this, I will try to get as many as possible. As for the other items on the list, such as fine crossbows, leather armor, and hundreds of refining knives, these should be able to make two thousand sets.

"

Pei Yue smiled happily. With the road map provided by Fang Rui, the hundred-person sharp knife squad, the two thousand elite "magic outfits" piled up with money, and the two thousand sets of outfits that Gu Liang was asked to get, he didn't believe that he could handle a group of people.

Mountain bandit. In addition, he also prepared simple water purification materials to avoid accidental attrition caused by drinking raw mountain water. If it were not restricted by technical conditions, he would even want to make a bunch of compressed biscuits.

With the full support of Xifu, he just wants to arm these two thousand people to the teeth.
