Everyone rolled their eyes and sat down again. Lin Jue said in a deep voice: "What I said just now is to let you understand that this is an inevitable life-and-death struggle. Therefore, the top priority is to abandon your illusions and prepare for war. But in the future
With our strength, we naturally cannot confront them head-on, but don’t forget that fighting requires the use of brains, not brute force. Otherwise, how could I and the two sisters win that day’s competition? For
I actually already have a plan on how to deal with them, but please forgive me for holding back for now. As long as you unite your thoughts and strengthen your determination to fight, I will go ahead and do it. I can only tell you that if this plan can work, we will
We will completely defeat the cottages of Zuo Zongdao and Bao Meng and make them disappear into Funiu Mountain. Do you still remember the plan I told you? The cottage will occupy the two southeastern exits of Funiu Mountain and firmly entrench itself here, allowing all Funiu Mountains to be destroyed.
All the bandits are frightened by this. When the time comes, we won’t be worried about their harassment, but they will be the ones to worry about.”
"What?" Everyone was shocked. They all found it incredible when they heard that the military advisor said that Zuo Zongdao and Bao Meng would be eradicated this time. Apart from disbelief, they were also filled with extreme curiosity. What kind of strategy was that?
?Do military advisors really have such abilities?
Frankly speaking, except for Gao Muqing and Liang Qi, no one here believed Lin Jue's heroic words. But at this moment, they seemed to have no other choice. What the military counselor said before was correct. Either eliminate the opponent or be destroyed.
There is no third way. In this case, any strategy should be tried.
…
Luoyan Valley extends from north to south. After passing through two tall peaks, it is divided into a 'Y' shape on the south side, forming two long and narrow valleys facing southeast and southwest. The one on the east side extends to the southeast and becomes the old valley.
It is a natural boundary between Junshan Mountain and the east peak of Luoyan Valley Dazhai. The branch leading to the southwest side has become a boundary between the west peak of Luoyan Valley Dazhai and the mountain top of Beishan Dazhai.
The Laojun Mountain Village and Luoyan Valley Village were originally under the jurisdiction of Beishan Dazhai. Gao Muqing and others first captured Laojun Mountain Village and then chose Luoyan Valley as their place to stay. How could Bao Meng, the leader of Beishan Dazhai Village,
Forbearance, but the territory of Laojun Mountain has been handed over to Zuo Zongdao, Bao Meng can only choose to attack Luoyan Valley first, and vent all his anger on Gao Muqing and his group. However, what he did not expect was that this group of outsiders
The soldiers were very tenacious and resisted an attack that was several times their strength. After losing seven to eight hundred men, Bao Meng did not dare to make too many mistakes. After all, strength is everything in Funiu Mountain. Once
He had suffered too many losses, and he was at risk of being coveted by others, so he stopped attacking.
Bao Meng and his more than 1,200 men stayed in the branch village across the valley from Luoyan Valley. Bao Meng hoped that the winter in Funiu Mountain would help him and freeze these outsiders to death in Luoyan Valley.
Valley, so that he could regain control of Luoyan Valley without wasting a single soldier. Therefore, during the two months of truce, he had been paying close attention to the news of Luoyan Valley Village all the time.
However, what disappointed him was that Luoyan Valley Village did not seem to be greatly affected after a heavy snowfall. Judging from the situation, the people there seemed to be living well. And especially in the past month,
There seem to be many incredible changes in the village over there. The most intuitive thing is that across the valley adjacent to his own, more than a dozen arrow towers have been erected and many fortifications have been built. His men could get close before.
Scouting, but recently even approaching more than a hundred steps has to risk one's life, because the opponent actually has a bow and arrow. And judging from the attire of the opponents who are not showing off on the hillside, they all seem to be wearing shiny armor and are well-equipped.
pole.
These situations were simply unacceptable to Bao Meng. Before, the opponent had already suffered heavy losses just by relying on hand-to-hand combat without fear of death. Now that they had armor and bows and arrows, how could they attack them in the future?
Are you going to stop here? That's impossible. If you continue your aggressive crusade against these outsiders who dare to invade you, you will become the laughing stock of all the Funiu Mountain strongholds. Your own Beishan Dazhai General
His majesty has been wiped out, and the small cottages that have taken refuge in him will probably defect to others. This face cannot be afforded. But if he bites the bullet and attacks, if he consumes too much strength in Luoyan Valley, he will also face extinction.
disaster.
Under this ambivalent mentality, Bao Meng decided to take the best of both worlds. Since he was faced with this difficult bone to chew, he had to let others chew this bone together. Especially the old fox Zuo Zongdao, in fact, the whole
This whole thing all started because of him. If he hadn't taken this group of people in before, they wouldn't have become a headache for him now. But now this old fox got an advantage and took the Laojun Mountain territory that originally belonged to him, and is still here
He is watching from the sidelines and reaping the benefits, but he will never allow him to stay out of it.
So, a few days ago, Bao Meng ordered someone to send a letter to Zuo Zongdao. The letter stated that either Zuo Zongdao would send troops with him to attack Luoyan Valley. After that, Luoyan Valley would belong to him, and he would not own the territory of Laojun Mountain.
To investigate, he is willing to admit that he belongs to Shirenshan Dazhai. Or he will return the Laojun Mountain territory to himself. If he does not return it, he will convene a Funiu Mountain group village meeting and let everyone comment on Zuo Zongdao's actions at the meeting. He
Zuo Zongdao lured a wolf into the house, and now he is pretending that nothing happened. It is absolutely impossible. If he cannot get justice, he will declare war with Shirenshan Dazhai as his enemy. From then on, they will fight to the death and become irreconcilable.
This stern letter received a reply from Zuo Zongdao not long after. The old fox was quite sensible. In his reply, he agreed to his conditions and agreed to send troops with him to attack the Luoyan Valley Village next spring. Of course, he asked himself
He wrote a contract in black and white and agreed to cede the territory of Laojun Mountain to Shirenshan Dazhai. Although he lost Laojun Mountain, if Zuo Zongdao was willing to send troops, the combined efforts of the two families would be able to sweep Luoyan Valley and regain Luoyan Valley.
Gu can also make up for the loss. What's more, this avoids a great loss of his own strength and avoids his own embarrassing situation. Overall, this transaction is worth it.
On this morning, Bao Meng and a group of his brothers were drinking tea in the hall of the mountain village. While discussing when to sign a formal troop dispatch agreement with Zuo Zongdao to prevent the old fox from changing his mind, a leader who was responsible for guarding and monitoring Luoyan Valley at the foot of the mountain hurriedly
Come in.
"Li Gui, what's wrong? What happened?" Bao Meng asked.
"Let me report to the leader of the big village. Nothing happened. It's just that the people from Luoyan Valley across the street shot a letter with their bows and arrows. They named it and wanted to give it to the leader of the stronghold. I sent it to the leader of the stronghold."
"Oh? The letter on the other side? This is strange. Bring it to me and take a look." Bao Meng was a little surprised.
Everyone around them also felt strange. When talking about the group of people on the mountain opposite, everyone felt a little scared. A few months ago, they fought with them for more than a month. There were hundreds of fierce battles, and both sides suffered heavy losses. But the fierceness of the group on the opposite side was
He is not afraid of death and has left a big psychological shadow on everyone on his side. That group of people are really like wild beasts, as if their lives are not their own, which actually won a little respect from the bottom of their hearts. Now there is a truce
In the past two months, the other side has sent people to deliver letters. What does this mean? A letter of challenge?
Li Gui handed the letter with the words "Prince of Bao Dazhai" to Bao Meng. Bao Meng couldn't read a single Chinese character, so he asked the literate master to read it for him. This kind of letter was sent by the enemy.
Bao Meng did not shy away from reading it out in front of everyone, squinting and leaning on his chair to listen.
The teacher with the gray beard was kidnapped from Shannan County. He didn't suffer much in the village. He was still wearing a black melon cap and a black satin robe, and his beard was neatly combed. It was when he went up the mountain.
He spoke a few words too many times, and a few teeth were knocked out. When he opened his mouth, he could see gaps in his mouth and red gums, which somewhat conflicted with his neat and tidy image.
"At the feet of Bao Dazhai Master: I have been waiting for you in Funiu Mountain. Over the past few months, I have fought hundreds of battles with Dazhai Master, and there has been no confusion. Now you and I are in a stalemate, looking at each other, fighting but not fighting, retreating but not retreating, so what shall we do?
?The leader of Bao Dazhai wants to fight, so we and I will make an appointment to decide the male and female at the same time. The winner will win, and the loser will not be disturbed. The leader of Dazhai does not want to fight, but I, the leader of Luoyangu Dazhai, would like to discuss with the leader of Dazhai.
Make good promises, resolve the feud, and turn hostility into friendship. However, the long-term hostility and harassment of each other will waste the strength of both parties in vain, and will be taken advantage of by outsiders. The leader of Bao Dazhai should think twice. The leader of Luoyan Valley Dazhai, Gao Muqing, bows his head!"
This letter is not long, but it is quite literary. It has been a long time since the teacher saw such writing on the mountain. What I am reading now is cadence, shaking my head and head, which is quite charming.
Bao, who had been squinting, suddenly sat up. He could still understand the content of the letter.
"Damn it, that girl in Luoyan Valley is so brave. Is this a challenge to us? Damn it! Who gave her the courage?" Bao Meng said angrily.
"That's it, these thieves are so loud. They say that we won't fight or retreat even if we fight. They want to make a fight with us? They are mocking us."
"Damn it, are these guys crazy? They actually come to ask for a fight?"
The leaders around him also started shouting and cursing.
"Master of Dazhai, dear kings, this letter is not an invitation to fight." The teacher said beside him.
Bao Meng patted the armrest of the chair and asked his master, "Master, do you think this letter does not mean a fight?"
The master shook his head and said: "As for this letter, this sentence 'I will neither fight nor retreat in this battle' was spoken by Zhang Fei, the general of the Shu Kingdom in the Three Kingdoms. I think back then, Zhang Yide, a Yan man, guarded the Changban Bridge alone...
"
"Shut up! Who wants to hear you say these things? I'm asking you if this letter means a fight." Bao Meng interrupted mercilessly.
The teacher nodded hurriedly and said: "Yes, yes. This letter does have the intention of making a war, but the intention behind it is not a war. It does say that we are confronting their two armies, and we are not only looking at the outcome, but also the outcome.
The chief of the village wanted to continue attacking them, so they had a good fight to decide the winner. But this was a scene, and the last sentence is the focus of this letter."
"Oh? What does the last sentence mean?" Bao Meng asked with a frown.
The teacher shook his head and read: "I, the leader of the Dazhai of Luoyan Valley, would like to negotiate with the leader of the Dazhai to make peace with each other, so as to eliminate the differences and turn the hostility into friendship. However, the long-term hostility and harassment of each other will waste the strength of both parties in vain, and will be taken advantage of by outsiders. Bao
The leader of Dazhai should think twice."
Bao Meng frowned and thought: "Does that mean you want to ask me for peace?"
The teacher nodded and said: "That's exactly what I meant. Although I didn't say I was asking for peace, it was exactly what I meant by asking for a good deal in a meeting."
Bao Meng thought for a while and suddenly burst into laughter.
