This is an era where communication can only be yelled. Even when communicating, it can only be transmitted by fast horses when fighting, which is inconvenient. When Li Yu, who knew the importance of information, sent dozens of spies to the Western Zhou Dynasty to spy on military information. He must master the latest battle reports and know himself and his enemy, so that he can win in a hundred battles.

Never led the army alone. Li Yu knew his own shortcomings and could only try his best to make up for the gap between the two sides with the rest of the way. Fortunately, this was a surprise attack. If it was an open battle, Li Yu really didn't have the confidence to fight against the famous generals of Qin.

Continue to let the team move forward. Li Yu, who was riding on the horse, opened the sealed bamboo tube, took out a piece of silk cloth from it, glanced at it, and couldn't help but change his face.

"Brother Xu, send someone to send this letter to the general, hoping that he would move his troops to Gaodu and restrain Gaodu's 50,000 Qin troops. We will go straight to the rope pool."

"Follow the order."

He led his cavalry to Shengchi quickly. Under the leadership of Gongshudu, the old Korean, Li Yu's troops easily avoided the spies of the Qin army and crossed the river from Xiangxian, which was called the Yellow River in later generations.

The Yellow River is not as fierce as that of later generations, and it seems very quiet. There are lush forests on both sides of the Yellow River, and the river water is clearly visible. There are several stone bridges connected to the county to Gucheng Mountain. Today, the Yellow River is like a small stream and has no natural danger to guard. According to Gong Shudu, the river will gradually become wider only when it passes through Mengjin. The river flows slowly and is extremely flat. It is a major transportation route for Han, Wei and Qi. Only in the rainy season will the river flood and flood the farmland on both sides. No one dares to cross the river at that time.

Bypassing Gucheng Mountain, you can see Gushui from afar. Li Yu asked his army to be stationed next to Qiang County, waiting for the report of the spies ahead. After learning that most of the Qin army was still stationed in Luoyi, Li Yu summoned Xu'an, Xu Zhan and four of his subordinates' commanders.

"I received the war report yesterday. The King of Western Zhou was afraid of the Qin army and had already sacrificed the city to surrender to Qin. Qin had already captured 36 cities in Western Zhou. Forty thousand Qin troops were about to pass through Jiang County and return to Hangu. I was going to ambush the Qin army on the way to Jiang County to Shengchi. I wonder what suggestions do you have?" One person had a short plan and several people were in charge. Li Yu, who knew his shortcomings, did not act arbitrary, but solicited his opinions.

"General, if our cavalry attacks the Qin army, we must find a mountain and forest to hide it. There must be a plain where our cavalry can show its strengths before we can defeat the Qin army's soldiers." Tai Jin, the commander of the cavalry camp, expressed his opinion. This is the most commonly used tactic and the most demanding requirement when the cavalry goes to fight.

"Yes, our current stationed in Duoshan Mausoleum in Jiang County is not conducive to our cavalry charge, so we should find another ambush place." Yang Fu, the commander of the Xiaoqi Camp, agreed.

"General, I wonder if we can capture Jiang County. There are many plains around Jiang County and many mountains and forests, which is the best place to ambush." ​​Commander Mao Fu made a suggestion.

"No, there must be Qin troops stationed in Jiang County. Once the Qin army is alarmed, we will only have more than 5,000 cavalry and we will not be able to fight with more than 100,000 Qin troops." Xu Zhan immediately denied his subordinates' opinions. Attacking Jiang County is like a rushing snake. Their cavalry can not exert 30% of their combat power in this mountain and mausoleum.

"Mr. Gongshu, do you know what good cavalry ambush places are there on the way?" Li Yu asked Gongshudu, who was proficient in geography, who were not familiar with the mountains and terrain here.

"Yes, based on this place, there is a Gushan by the river. The terrain is not high. Beyond a forest is a plain, which is extremely conducive to the rush of the cavalry. However, Gushan is near the rope pool, and there are five thousand Qin soldiers stationed in the rope pool." Gong Shudu said, pointing to a place on the simple sheepskin map.

"Okay, Mao Xu, Chen Jin, I will lead you and a hundred cavalry to go to the Kushan area to investigate, and be sure to find out the area within a radius of twenty miles." With Gong Shudu's guidance, Li Yu's cold expression slightly diminished and he said to the two captains of the cavalry camp.

"Follow the order."

After the two of them went out, Li Yu turned to Gongshudu and said, "Mr. Gongshu, I would like to ask Mr. Gongshu to return to Xinzheng and tell the King of Han that he would send a large army to the station in Juli, restrain Yangcheng, and bear the Qin army of Li."

"I dare to ask the general, since the Qin army is about to return, why ambush him? It would be better to wait for most of the Qin army to return to Hangu. Our two countries, Han and Zhao, work together to eliminate the Qin army in the cities of the Western Zhou Dynasty. This is not better." After listening to Li Yu's deployment, Gong Shudu finally asked questions for many days. Li Yu's actions did not seem to be coming to rescue South Korea, but rather to attack the Qin army and compete with the Qin army soldiers.

"I'm not hiding it, sir, I'm going to be the Nine Cauldrons of Zhou." At this point, Li Yu has not concealed anything. Anyway, this matter will spread all over the world sooner or later. I'm sorry that South Korea would not dare to make the Nine Cauldrons, and it is more likely to help him win the Nine Cauldrons of Zhao. After all, South Korea would rather fall into the hands of the Great Zhao than let the Nine Cauldrons fall into the hands of the Qin army. In that case, South Korea is not far from destruction.

"Nine Tripods?" mentioned by Li Yuyi, Gong Shudu suddenly remembered the Nine Tripods that existed in Luoyi, the capital of the Western Zhou Dynasty. He suddenly felt a cold sweat. He unexpectedly, the Qin army had hidden from the world. If Li Yu had not seen through it, the Qin army might have succeeded. At that time, the Qin State would be the first to bear the brunt of the luck of the world.

"I guess the purpose of the Qin army was also guessed. I wonder if the King of Han was willing to send troops to restrain Yangcheng and bear the Qin army of Li?"

"General, don't worry, I, Han, will use my country's strength to never let Yangcheng and return to the army." Thinking of the consequences of the matter, Gong Shudu quickly made a promise to prevent the Qin army from transporting the Nine Cauldrons back to Xianyang, which is worth losing tens of thousands of soldiers, not to mention that there is no problem just by letting them restrain the 50,000 Qin army.

"Okay, with the promise of Mr. I will never let the Qin army achieve its goal."

"The matter is urgent, so the foreign minister will go back to Xinzheng to report to my king and send troops to Juli." The Qin army in Luoyi was about to return to Hangu. Gong Shudu was very anxious and immediately offered to say goodbye.

"Okay, I will send a hundred personal guards to escort the gentleman back to Xinzheng."

"Thank you, General."

After sending Gongshudu out of the garrison, Li Yu returned to the camp and immediately ordered someone to go to the Kushui River to get a little mud and sand.

"General, Gushan is full of dense forests, but there is a plain between Gushui and the mountains and forests for dozens of miles, which is the only way for the Qin army to return to Hangu. The terrain here is very good. If the Qin army is only 30,000, with the advantage of our two battalions in charge, it can defeat the Qin army within half an hour." Mao Xu reported on the surveyed terrain and said in detail, with sufficient confidence in the combat effectiveness of their two battalions.

After only a moment, Li Yu pinched a simple sand table according to what Mao Xu said. Although he was so squeamish, his general shape could be seen.
