Feng Po dismissed the commanders of each battalion and retreated the guards and entourage on the left and right, leaving only Chi, Zhuo Zhan and his entourage in the main hall.

Xun Bo closed the hall door from the outside, and for a moment the atmosphere in the room became solemn and ghostly.

After a long moment of silence, Feng Po suddenly stood up from the square chair and walked slowly to Zhuo Zhan. His steps were heavy but decisive, and his eyes were hot and determined: "Zhuo Zhan, I know this matter has nothing to do with you, but out of greed or maybe

Selfishly, I still want to ask, are you willing to help me?"

"Of course I am willing! Brother Feng, even if you don't say it, I will definitely help you." Zhuo Zhan looked at Feng Po's bright eyes seriously and said every word.

During the time he spent with Feng Po, Zhuo Zhan received a lot of care from Feng Po at every convenience. He didn't even have to abide by some of the rules and etiquette in the house, and he was able to override the old rules and investigate the case as he pleased.

In terms of martial arts training, Feng Po's teachings to him and Duan Fei went far beyond the scope of "guidance". In Zhuo Zhan's heart, he had already regarded Feng Po as his master and a brother-like existence. Therefore, in terms of title, "

"Brother Feng" naturally replaced "General Feng".

It is necessary to receive the favor of Yang Mansion and help him to escape the siege through emotion and reason.

However, Feng Po's sincere plea at the expense of his own worth at this time still moved Zhuo Zhan like a lightning strike. He secretly vowed to do everything in his power to rescue Chi Shu and help Yang Mansion get out of this crisis.

"Brother Feng, I am willing too." Duan Fei rushed to Feng Po and said firmly.

"Then I'm willing too..." Although Zhuangzi was slightly reluctant, he rushed to say it, for fear of leaving him behind.

"So are we." Duan Yue and Jiang Xueyan also nodded.

"You..." Chi covered his mouth and nose with his petite hands, and his eyes turned red.

She had no shortage of playmates since she was a child, but she had never had any real friends. The surge of friendship at this time made her overwhelmed for a moment, and there was a place in her heart that seemed particularly moist and warm.

"Okay!" Feng Po was also very moved. He looked at everyone one by one with bright eyes. Although he did not say thank you, his deep gratitude overflowed.

"Brother Feng, without further ado, let's do the deduction and deployment now."

Zhuo Zhan broke this moment of warmth because he knew that if he delayed for one more minute, Chishu would be in more danger, and the chances of winning for the Yang Mansion would also decline.

Everyone sat around the table. Feng Po took out a silver tube, unscrewed the treasure-embedded silver cap, pulled out a piece of animal skin, and spread it on the table.

This is a map of Yangshan and the surrounding villages and cities. Although it is not very detailed, the topography, landforms, mountains, roads and waterways are all precise and accurate.

"Zhuo Zhan, do you have any ideas?" Feng Po knew that Zhuo Zhan would always have different views and thoughts from ordinary people, and was looking forward to his insights.

Zhuo Zhan looked at the map intently, then raised his head after a while, and asked Feng Po thoughtfully: "Brother Feng, if the information can be passed on, can the surrounding fiefdoms lend troops to help?"

Feng Po thought for a moment and said with a slight embarrassment: "Yangshan borders Zhongshan to the north and the sea to the south. The feudal lord of the western fiefdom has been at odds with the Chishu feudal lord for many years due to territorial disputes. However, the feudal lord of Jishan in the east has always been sophisticated and sophisticated.

He never meddles in other people's business, and loves to watch battles and profit from them. Let him send troops, huh, don't even think about it, it would be nice if he doesn't just sit back and reap the benefits."

Feng Po paused and slid his finger to the right: "The only possibility is Jiwei Mountain to the east of Jishan Mountain. Jiwei Mountain and the water area are the fiefdom of Chisong, the fourth brother of Chishu. But Jiwei Mountain is some distance from Yangshan Mountain.

The distance is such that if we wait for the large army to arrive, we may not be able to make it in time."

"Is there a flying exploration camp like ours in Yangshan in Jiwei Mountain?" Zhuo Zhan asked calmly without any worry.

"We have all of these. The nine major fiefdoms in Nanshan all have their own flying exploration camps, but the personnel composition and organizational structure are slightly different." Feng Po replied neatly.

"That's easy," Zhuo Zhan's sullen face revealed a hint of a smile, "Brother Feng, if you want to send a letter to Jiwei Mountain, can you do it?"

"There is a Quru in the beast room in the house. It was used by Lu Xiangguo to report the whereabouts of the master of the beast alliance. It has not flown back yet, but..." Feng Po frowned and looked embarrassed.

"But...what?" Zhuo Zhan asked anxiously.

"But Qu Ru only knows the way back to the Luxiang Kingdom. If you want it to fly to Jiwei Mountain, you have to use the Qu language to reposition it. This... This house has always only welcomed Qu Ru and sent it off, and it can only take care of it for a day or two at most.

"No one knows how to use Qu Yu to serve food..." Feng Po's eyes flickered.

"Haha, don't worry about this. There are people in my family who understand Qu language, not just ordinary people." Zhuo Zhan smiled indifferently, very mysteriously.

"Who is it? Say it quickly, I'm choking to death..." Zhuangzi at the side urged impatiently.

"Have you all forgotten the old man who flew up the mountain just now? He is the manager of Xinyi and an expert who has been dealing with Qu Ru all the year round." Zhuo Zhan said happily.

Everyone was suddenly enlightened and exclaimed. I don't know whether it was because of a short-circuit in their brains or because they were too nervous to think. They actually forgot about the person who was right in front of them.

"Brother Feng, please call a secretary. The content of this letter should be written like this..."

Feng Po quickly found the old man and Secretary Bing, and the content of the letter was written according to what Zhuo Zhan said. It was written with the newly made bamboo abbreviation, which was faster and more convenient.

The secret slip was rolled up and tied, then put into the bamboo tube under Qu Ru's neck, and flew to Jiwei Mountain with Qu Ru to deliver this life-or-death letter of borrowing troops.

When Zhuo Zhan was preparing the secret slips, the Duan family brothers and sisters, Jiang Xueyan, Zhuang Zi, Chi and others followed Feng Po's instructions and went to each battalion to inform the major commanders to reorganize the troops, wear armor and carry weapons, and prepare for battle.

At this time, only Zhuo Zhan and Feng Po were left in the main hall of the General's Mansion.

"Next step, we will send troops to retake Qingcheng. However, the four gates of Qingcheng are closed. It is not easy to attack Qingcheng. It will take at least a few days." Feng Po tapped Qingcheng on the map with his finger.

Said solemnly.

Qingcheng is the guard city at the foot of Yangshan Mountain. Capturing Qingcheng is equivalent to grabbing the throat of Yangfu. From a conventional offensive and defensive strategy, capturing Qingcheng is equivalent to winning a fighting chance. Feng Po learned that Wuhan

After occupying Qingcheng, I was very anxious and thought about taking it back.

"Absolutely not." Zhuo Zhan frowned and shook his head.

"Why?" Feng Po was very puzzled and looked at Zhuo Zhan doubtfully.

"After Wu Han came down from the mountain, he occupied Qingcheng and captured the feudal lord Chishu, which shows that he did not leave all his combat power in Qingcheng. Brother Feng, as you said, it will take several days to capture Qingcheng.

At this time, even if we capture Qingcheng, our soldiers are already exhausted. If the team that captured the king in Wuhan immediately returns to attack, we will be very passive." Zhuo Zhan analyzed calmly.

"Then what should we do?" Feng Po fell into deep confusion.

"Wait." Zhuo Zhan raised his head and stared seriously into Feng Po's eyes, "Now that we have lost our lord and Qingcheng, we are in a dilemma. The only thing we can do is to wait."

"Are we not doing anything, just waiting for Wuhan to attack the mountain and occupy Yangfu?" Feng Po, who was anxious, was a little excited and asked a little loudly.

"Yes, wait until Wu Han comes to us." Zhuo Zhan affirmed, "Wu Han will gain nothing by killing the feudal lord, so he will definitely keep the feudal lord as a bargaining chip to attack the mountain. As long as we stand still, he will definitely come to us.

Make a deal, and when the time comes for the two armies to hold talks, it will be the best opportunity to save the feudal lord."

Feng Po lowered his head and pondered for a moment. His slightly frowned eyebrows gradually relaxed. He waved his hand and said passionately: "Well, I will mobilize the troops now and have each battalion go down the mountain immediately and wait at the foot of the mountain to wait until Wu Han passes the news.

If you send me the letter, you can be dispatched at any time."

"It's still not appropriate," Zhuo Zhan shook his head worriedly: "When Wuhan sends a message, we must get the right to decide the location of the meeting, otherwise we will not contact you."

"Oh, you have an idea?"

Zhuo Zhan nodded: "Wu Han claims to be familiar with Yangshan and is eager to attack the mountain. It is just a meeting place. He will not think too much. In order to achieve a quick decision, he will definitely agree.

We must choose this meeting place carefully, it cannot be at the foot of the mountain. If Wuhan launches an attack in advance, our soldiers going down the mountain will be piled on the mountain road unable to move, and we will have no choice but to wait to be beheaded by Wuhan."

Zhuo Zhan stared at the map and considered it attentively. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he pointed to the mountainside: "This is the most suitable place."

Feng Po looked in the direction of Zhuo Zhan's finger, and there was a shallow concave basin halfway up the mountain, which the locals called the "Sleeping Dragon Land".

This is the largest of the few basins hidden in the vast mountainous area of ​​Yangshan. The terrain is vast and flat and surrounded by streams, making it very suitable for garrisoning troops.

Taking this Sleeping Dragon Land as a node, the mountain roads below have gentle slopes, wide roads, and gentle terrain, while the top of the mountain above is a difficult and dangerous area with many mountains and rivers. The roads are rugged, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Once we capture the mountains and rivers around Sleeping Dragon Land and prepare our troops first, we can turn the enemy around and let Wuhan's large troops pile up on the mountain road below, unable to move. Zhuo Zhan's move to rescue the feudal lord will not be difficult.

accomplish.

If the two sides are fighting, once they gain the upper hand, they can attack Wuhan in one fell swoop and defeat all of Wuhan's combat power.

Feng Po immediately understood Zhuo Zhan's intention and looked at the childish young man in front of him with approval, approving of his wisdom and agility:

"Okay, okay, great! You...you are really...Zhuozhan. If you become an adviser to any monarch, you will make everyone fear."

"Brother Feng, you're flattering me. I'm just being clever. If it's really about marching troops to fight and maintaining political stability, how can I be better than you?" Zhuo Zhan smiled awkwardly after hearing this compliment.

Humbly avoided.

"Hey, that's how you are. You are obviously very talented, but you deliberately hide your edge. There's no need!" Feng Po said cheerfully.

"How's it going? Has the discussion made any progress?"

Chi opened the door and came in with a worried look on his face, followed by Duan Yue, Jiang Xueyan, Duan Fei, and Zhuangzi.

"Thanks to Zhuo Zhan, a great thinker, we have made great progress, and there is a chance of winning back the feudal lord." Feng Po said happily.

"Oh? Hurry up and tell me."

Chi Wenyan hurried over and asked Feng Po to unfold the map and tell her the formation of the troops one by one.

"Hey, do you think I have an untrustworthy face?" Zhuangzi complained with a dark face.

"What's wrong with you? Did you go to deliver a message and the commander didn't listen to you?" Zhuo Zhan had already guessed Zhuangzi's fate and teased.

"It's not that bad. The commander of the Feather Arrow Battalion has such a demeaning attitude that he didn't believe me until I brought Chi here. Hey, I didn't expect that the world is looking at people's faces wherever they go. It's hopeless.

…”

Zhuangzi muttered angrily, but after vomiting his bitterness, he felt a lot more relaxed.

Seeing that Zhuangzi had stopped complaining, Zhuo Zhan stopped paying attention to him. He turned around and called out to Jiang Xueyan: "Sister Xueyan, I have something to ask of you and Duan Yue."

Duan Yue didn't expect Zhuo Zhan to mention her name, so he was very surprised. He looked flattered and walked towards Zhuo Zhan with a sweet smile.

However, Zhuo Zhan did not raise his eyes to look at her, but continued to say to Jiang Xueyan: "I need the silk threads on the silk. You can help me remove some. The longer the better, if it is broken, tie it up and tie it up as long as possible."

It can reach the distance from General Mansion to Wanghaitai."

"Okay, I'm going to go to Aunt Jiang to get the silk. Duan Yue, let's go." Jiang Xueyan nodded and asked Duan Yue to go back to his residence to get the silk.
