[One more chapter] Chapter 202 The plan of the war god, the night talk in the mountains and the unsp
The tactics proposed by Li Jing are eccentric——
Li Hongyu's main army postponed the Western Expedition on the grounds of poor preparation of food, grass and baggage. A team of surprise troops led by Wu Ma bypassed Gao'an City and ambush at the key road between Gao'an and Lanzhou.
When the news of Xue Ju's death came on the ninth day of August, Xue Rengao was bound to rush to Lanzhou to pay mourning tribute to his father. Most of his actions were hurried, and he could be intercepted halfway by dancing horses. After the Xue family and his son were wiped out, the Western Qin Dynasty was leaderless and did not attack.
Self-destruction.
From Li Jing's imaginative idea, Wu Ma vaguely saw the outline of the Tang military god leading three thousand fine cavalry a thousand miles in the snowy night to attack the Royal Court of Jieli a few years later, so he decisively rushed to Li Hongyu to provide deep support with a lone army.
Applause was given before objections were raised on the grounds that cutting off risks was too great.
A good commander should be able to amplify all favorable information and conditions several times and make use of them. Li Jing is such a commander.
That night, Wu Ma set off to implement the Army God's plan. But during the execution, he adjusted one detail of the plan - he did not have to lead a single soldier, and he would go alone. Li Hongyu strongly opposed it. At night, Wu Ma was still stubborn.
Departed.
But he did not admit that this was a kind of revenge for Li Hongyu's politeness and alienation towards him.
Soon after setting off from the camp, Dancing Horse discovered the mysterious figure following behind him.
He naturally suspected that they were awakened disciples from the Tang Tower arranged by Li Zhiyun, and the purpose was undoubtedly to wait for an opportunity to sabotage his plan.
Wu Ma was very willing and interested in doing things that would cause trouble for Li Zhiyun. So, he allowed the other party to follow him all the way to the west of Gao'an City, making the other party mistakenly think that he had never been aware of it, and then suddenly performed a trick in a bottomless canyon.
Leng Jian intended to capture the enemy alive for torture, but when he lifted the black cloth on the enemy's face, what he saw was Li Hongyu's rare and beautiful face.
Only when their eyes were facing each other for half a stick of incense, and the magnetism from the two pairs of eyes almost made their lips touch each other, did the two men free themselves from the fixed posture in which Li Hongyu was first captured alive.
"General Li, why are you following me?"
Li Hongyu hesitated for a long time, decided to swallow back what she wanted to say at first, and replied instead:
"study."
"It would be more believable to say they eloped."
"I'm not learning from you," Li Hongyu replied, "but from Li Jing. I think that only through personal experience can we know how to come up with the idea of traveling thousands of miles to assassinate the coach. Of course... we can also know whether this kind of assassination is reliable or not.
, what difficulties and risks are there in the implementation process.”
There is no doubt that Li Hongyu has the ambition to be a qualified commander and military strategist. After coming to Chang'an from Jiangdu, Wu Mazeng noticed that her book on the art of war almost never left her hand.
After that, neither of them said another nonsense. Under the cover of the dark night, they went to hide beside a dangerous mountain road between Gaoshan and Lanzhou.
The atmosphere between them fell into a state that they had never fallen into before. It was a subtle atmosphere in which each other was at a loss, far away, close, cold and hot after experiencing an almost crazy intimacy and deliberately alienated politeness.
Wu Ma broke the stalemate with a short but seemingly long departure, leaving Li Hongyu alone in the wilderness waiting for dawn and the arrival of mourners.
I have to say that this kind of loneliness really made her heart beat faster. She took out the yellowed book of war from her arms and read it intently against the moonlight passing through the gaps in the forest leaves.
When the dancing horse wandered around in the deserted mountain forest and came back again, Li Hongyu seemed to have sensed his return in advance or that her attention had never been taken away from him.
Moments before Wu Ma returned to the ambush point, Li Hongyu put the military book back in his arms to prevent the other party from seeing the anxiety he had just experienced.
Driven by a slightly panicked atmosphere, Li Hongyu said something that sounded vague to the dancing horse who was still slowly walking towards him.
Wu Ma only heard the three words "not me" clearly.
Dancing Horse asked her to say it again.
Li Hongyu was silent for a while and said, "Will the two of us die here?"
Wu Ma is very sure that this is not what Li Hongyu said just now.
He hesitated for a moment, wanting to ask what the vague words just said were about, but based on his understanding that if a woman doesn't want you to know something, she won't let you know it even if she dies, so he finally gave up.
Replied:
"What weird thing is this?"
"What if Xue Rengao is unexpectedly powerful?"
"Isn't it clear that everyone has inquired clearly? I'm just a loser."
"I mean just in case."
"Then the two of us may die, and maybe we can travel through time."
"Time travel?"
"It's to go to another world," Wu Ma said: "That world is far away from here, or very close. Or it's another time and space, or even another dimension. Or it's going back to the past era, or it's going to the future."
"Keep talking, it sounds interesting."
"In general, there are two ways of time travel. One is soul time travel. Your body stays here and dies and rots. The soul comes to another world and attaches itself to a brand new body.
The other is physical time travel, that is to say, your soul and body come to a different world together."
As in the past, there were many words in what Wu Ma said that Li Hongyu could not understand at all, but this did not prevent her from listening with interest and generally understanding the meaning of the entire sentence.
"You are just a time traveler." Li Hongyu said, "You are so special."
These shocking words revealed almost all the secrets of the time traveler's horse dance, but they did not panic him as he imagined. Instead, for the first time in this strange and familiar world, he found a sense of intimacy and belonging without reservation or taboo.
But in the end he still chose to respond with silence.
"I said," after a long time, Li Hongyu seemed to remember the first question he had asked before starting this conversation, and brought back the topic that had been dragged into the distance by the dancing horse, "it would be nice if I could die here.
"
Wu Ma was very sure that he had heard his other women say this before, but in this deep forest with scattered moonlight, she could not remember which one she said and where she heard it.
Is it with Han Wei in a gloomy and desperate abandoned corpse building, with Yuwen Jianxue on a lonely mountain surrounded by an airtight army led by Ashina Jishe, or with Qingxia on the desolate and high cliffs near Shenzhi Wuzhi Mountain in Journey to the West
Above, there is no way to study it.
Because except for the dancing horse, every participant has left forever.
Qingxia's ghost is still by his side, but refuses to answer all his questions about the past between the two.
