Chapter 741: Liu Gao: Repairing the plank road in the open and marching through Chencang in secret? [2 more]

"What are you looking at?"

When Liu Gao woke up, it was already noon.

It’s not that he is lazy and lazy, but the main reason is that “dreaming of immortality” still consumes a lot of energy.

So every time I have a dream, I can’t get up in the morning.

The same is true for Fang Jinzhi, the "Sleeping Princess". After practicing in her dream, she still has to sleep for real.

After stretching himself, Liu Gao walked up to the observation deck.

Zu Shiyuan, Deng Yuanjue, Li Tianrun and the others were all here, pointing at the mountain and talking.

"Brother, look!"

Deng Yuanjue pointed at the Chu army camp at the foot of the mountain:
"They haven't attacked us yet at this time today.

"Is there something fishy going on?"

Liu Gao's "sharp eyes" could see farther than any of them.

So you can clearly see teams of Chu troops patrolling.

You can even see that one of the Chu soldiers has different legs and walks crookedly.

There was also a Chu soldier who was hunchbacked, his body bent like a giant shrimp.

You can also clearly see the smoke rising from the kitchen; the Chu army is making breakfast.

Liu Gao counted the smoke from the cooking stoves and found that there was at least enough food for tens of thousands of people.

"Maybe."

Liu Gao hesitated for two seconds:
"Commander Du and his men are here. The Chu army may be discussing countermeasures."

"Right."

Li Tianrun echoed:
"General Du was in charge of all the previous battles. It's very annoying without him."

"No need to rush."

Liu Gao smiled faintly:
“The princess has burned their food supplies, so they can’t hold out for more than a few days before they have to make a decision.

"Whether to fight or retreat, the outcome will be clear within three days."

Deng Yuanjue: "Brother is right!"

……

Noon.

"Brother, we're here!"

Wu Song, Xu Ning, and Shan Shiqi finally arrived with 10,000 infantrymen:

"Is there anything wrong?"

"No, you came just in time."

Liu Gao smiled and took Wu Song's hand and introduced Du Fu to him.

When two heroes meet, they immediately feel a sense of mutual respect.

"Brother, long time no see!"

After Deng Yuanjue and Wu Song exchanged greetings, Deng Yuanjue pulled Wu Song to drink, but was stopped by Liu Gao.

For some reason, Liu Gao felt uneasy, so he suggested:
"Let's go to the observation deck again."

Didn’t you see it this morning?

Deng Yuanjue and Li Tianrun both felt that it was unnecessary, but since Liu Gao had suggested it, everyone followed suit.

Liu Gao brought his brothers to the observation deck again, from where they could see the entire Chu army camp clearly.

There seemed to be no changes in the Chu army camp.

The smoke from cooking had disappeared, but teams of Chu troops were still patrolling.

Wait!
Something doesn't seem right!
Liu Gao opened his eyes wide and looked carefully, which made Deng Yuanjue and others confused:

Why are you opening your eyes so wide? Can you really see clearly?

Liu Gao really saw it clearly!
Although he couldn't see the faces of the patrolling Chu troops clearly, he could see their body movements clearly.

He clearly saw a person in a patrol team with one leg longer than the other, walking unsteadily.

Behind the man with long and short legs there was a hunchback, whose body was bent like a big shrimp.

Because the Chu army was composed of converted minions and had lax military discipline, they certainly could not be as organized as the regular army.

Well, actually the regular army isn’t in good order these days.

Also, when Wang Qing first started out, he accepted everyone, so there were even disabled people in his team.

But it's impossible that every team of Chu army has such a pair of Crouching Dragon and Phoenix, right?

What virtue and ability does Wang Qing have?

Moreover, it has been nearly half a day, how could there be no rotation, and it is still the same team of Chu troops patrolling?
Liu Gao quickly asked Du Fu: "Brother, how often do the Chu army patrols take turns?" Du Fu: "One hour."

broken!

Liu Gao's face changed drastically: "Repairing the plank road in the open while secretly marching through Chencang!"

Du Fu was stunned: "What?"

"No time to explain!"

Liu Gao issued an order:

"Gather all the cavalry immediately and follow me down the mountain!"

One stick of incense later, Liu Gao, Hua Rong, Yue Fei, Du Fu, Feng Tai and Zhuo Mao led 2,000 cavalry to the Chu army camp.

"Rumble...Rumble..."

The earth-shaking sound of horse hooves frightened the patrolling teams of Chu troops, and they fled without a second thought!
It's over!

Seeing that the Chu troops had no intention of resisting and were not going to flee to the camp, Liu Gao felt very disappointed.

Liu Gao's Zhaoye Jade Lion ran the fastest, and Liu Gao had already tried his martial arts, so he took the lead for once.

This frightened Hua Rong and Yue Fei so much that they galloped their horses and chased after him desperately.

Dozens of steps away, Liu Gao took out a handful of stones and threw them out like flowers scattering from heaven.

All of the Chu soldiers were hit, some on the legs, some on the head, some on the buttocks...

A large number of them fell down with a loud crash. Hua Rong and Yue Fei chased after them and interrogated them one by one.

"Brother, it's not good!"

Hua Rong was anxious:

"The Chu army went to Shezhou overnight!

"Only one thousand men are left here to act!"

Straight bitch!
Liu Gao was so angry that he wanted to curse his mother. Du Fu next to him said:
"This must be the plan of Wu Yong, the 'Mastermind'!"

"...It doesn't matter!"

Liu Gao took a deep breath, his heart as clear as ice:
"Most of the Chu army are infantry, and they can't move fast at night!

"We can catch up with them soon if we just take the cavalry to chase them!"

Feng Tai reminded: "Brother, we only have 2,000 cavalry!

"The Chu army has at least 70,000 men..."

"Don't rush to attack after catching up."

Liu Gao pulled out his goose feather fan and waved it twice:

"Stick behind.

"When they attack Shezhou, we will attack their center from the rear, which will surely have a miraculous effect.

"There's no time to lose, let's go now."

All the generals said in unison: "Yes!"

……

Shezhou.

Fang Jie looked at the letter in his hand in disbelief:
"This... This is impossible! This can't be true!"

Minister Gao Yu lowered his head:
"Your Majesty, this is exactly what the late king asked me to pass on to you!

"The previous king said that when the Southern Kingdom is in turmoil, Your Majesty will come out and turn the tide!
"Then the Southern Kingdom will belong to the King!"

Fang Jie was completely stunned.

He always thought that his grandfather Fang Hu was a loyal minister, otherwise why would he commit suicide in Fang La's mourning hall to apologize for his crime?

However, the letter clearly states:
The person who assassinated Fang Tianding at Yuling Pass was General Zhen Cheng, one of the Eight Cavalrymen under the command of the Third King Fang Mao.

Zhen Cheng was bribed by Fang Hu.

In other words, Zhen Cheng was ordered by Fang Hu to assassinate Fang Tianding and then put the blame on Fang Mao.

The reason for all the trouble is because Fang Hu wants his grandson Fang Jie to be the Holy Archbishop!
Later, Wang Yin assassinated Fang Tianding at a critical moment, also on the orders of Fang Hou.

In fact, Liu Gao has already seen through this matter.

But Fang Hu committed suicide in front of Fang La's mourning hall to apologize for his crime, just to sacrifice himself to save Fang Jie.

In order to protect Fang Jie who knew nothing, Liu Gao said that Wang Yin was bribed by Fang Mao.

Liu Gao thought that Fang Hu had committed suicide, so this matter became a secret and would be buried with Fang Hu.

Unexpectedly, Fang Hu left a letter and asked Minister Gao Yu to give it to Fang Jie at an appropriate time.

Gao Yu raised his eyes and said, "My lord, now is the time!"
