The night was like ink, the sky was full of stars, and the north wind blew the bare branches of the trees.
Twelve-year-old Lu Xun, dressed in heavy cotton clothes and covered with brocade fur, led twenty of the most elite soldiers, followed behind the scout horses, and quietly groped towards the Shanyue camp.
Although Liu Wei gave Lu Xun the title of "Shi Chang" in a joking way, Lu Xun was the third person with the most power in the whole army except for Zhao Yun and He Qi.
Although Lu Xun is young, he has a long-term view, knowing that if he wants to make a difference in the future, he must cultivate his own lineage, so he deliberately recruited several low-level officers who are quite capable along the way.
Just like Zhou Yi, the head of the tun who is now leading the team to follow him to visit the camp, seems to have some skills, Lu Xun uses his identity to deliberately envelop him, and the relationship is very close on weekdays.
This week, the bream is none other than the one who broke off his hair and earned Cao Xiu twenty years later, led Cao Jun into a trap, and let Lu Xun return from defeat.
But at this moment, he was only a seventeen-year-old hot-blooded boy, because he was skilled in swords and guns, read and write, and was alert, so he was appointed by his boss as the commander of the tun, and he was assigned to lead the people of Bentun to protect Lu Xun's safety during the journey.
The army set up camp, and after dinner, Lu Xun instigated Zhou Yi to select twenty elites to follow him to explore the camp, "Princes and generals, I would rather have a kind of husband who should bring a three-foot sword and make immortal achievements, and now the credit is at your fingertips, it depends on whether you dare to take it."
Under the encouragement of Lu Xun, Zhou Yi had a hot head, so he selected twenty of the most elite soldiers from Bentun, all led the horses, and under the pretext of patrolling, followed Lu Xun quietly out of the camp, and under the guidance of a scout from the Lu family, quietly touched towards the Shanyue camp.
After walking for more than ten miles, he only heard the gurgling water above his head, Lu Xun was curious, so he led his entourage to dismount and climb the hillside to check.
Under the light of the torches, you can see that it is a river above the valley, flowing from west to east, with a huge concave puddle in the middle, like a reservoir in later generations, which is thought to have been washed out by the huge water during the summer flood season.
Because it was winter, the whole pit was dry, and only the river flowed quietly down the riverbed to the east.
Lu Xun frowned and thought: "This river hangs high on the slope of the mountain, and there is this natural reservoir, which is simply an excellent terrain for water attack, if you order someone to block the river in advance, let this pit be filled with water, and then lead the Shanyue thieves to this valley, you will definitely be able to flood the thieves and win a great victory."
Although Lu Xun was young, his mind was meticulous, for fear of leaking the news, he didn't say much at the moment, and smiled: "It turned out to be a river, there is nothing to see, everyone continues to march to the Shanyue camp."
In this way, he quietly hid in the dark and spied on it, and found out the strength and defense situation of the Shanyue army, and General Zilong will have a heavy reward after he returns.
If General Zilong doesn't give a reward, I will write to the Son of Heaven to ask you for credit."
"Okay, follow Uncle Guo, we will definitely have a bright day" The twenty elite clubs were all in high spirits, and followed Zhou Yi to compliment Lu Xun in unison.
The group descended the hill and continued on their way.
After walking for another seven or eight miles, he suddenly met seven or eight horsemen, with torches in their hands, and a tired look on their faces, when they saw Lu Xun and his party, they hurriedly asked loudly: "Hey, who are you waiting for you to know where the camp of Marshal Fei Zhan is?"
Without waiting for his subordinates to talk, Lu Xun hurriedly said: "We are Fei Shuai's subordinates, who are you?"
The other party was overjoyed when he heard this, and they all dismounted and bowed to Lu Xun and his party: "Oh, I finally saw you, I got lost in this mountain forest, walked around, and couldn't find Fei Shuai's camp, and finally met you."
Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll starve to death in this mountain forest."
Lu Xun quietly instructed his subordinates: "Take our dry food to a few brothers to eat." ” These unknown people did seem to be hungry, and they were not polite at the moment, they turned over and dismounted, threw their weapons aside, took the dry food such as nest heads and cooking cakes handed by the Han army, and devoured them.
Lu Xun quietly made a look at Zhou Yi and the others, and the twenty elites of the Han army drew their swords together, slashed down with their knives, and their heads rolled wildly, leaving only a living mouth, so frightened that their souls were scattered, and the head of the nest was still choked in their mouths, and they kept muttering: "Fei Shuai said but didn't believe it" Zhou Yi kicked the rest of the people down, put the steel knife on his neck, and scolded angrily: "Open your dog's eyes and see clearly, I am wearing the clothes of the Han officers and soldiers, how can it be a Shanyue thief."
"This black light is blinding, and the woods are thick, who can see what armor you are wearing."
The captive man spat out the food in his mouth and said with a sad face.
Lu Xun didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and motioned to Zhou Yi to torture and interrogate, and in a moment's time, he found out all the other party's identity and intentions.
Hearing that Hong Xiuquan led the Taiping Dao believers, known as 800,000, to march to Luling, Fei Zhan sent an envoy to contact Hong Xiuquan, expressing his willingness to submit to the Taiping Army, just to be able to seal the title of Huiji Taishou.
It's just an empty promise, Hong Xiuquan's big fool will naturally not let go of the fat sheep sent to the door.
Immediately ordered someone to carve the seal ribbon of Yangzhou Thorn History, and personally wrote a "Letter of Appointment of Great Sages and Good Teachers", and then sent a messenger with a seal ribbon and a letter to the territory of Huiji to find the Fei Zhan army in the starry night.
Unexpectedly, he got lost in the dense mountains and forests in Huiji County, and accidentally met Lu Xun and his party who came to explore the camp, and he was relieved of his life.
Lu Xun waved his hand, and the last living head fell to the ground.
Lu Xun thought for a while, and said with a smile: "God really helps me, since there are the seals and letters of the Taiping Army here, let's go straight to Huanglong, pretend to be an envoy of the Taiping Army to enter the Feizhan camp, and see the Shanyue military camp clearly."
In Lu Xun's opinion, the exploration of the Shanyue army's camp was secondary, and if they could gain Fei Zhan's trust, let them move the camp forward, camp under the hillside with pits, and then flood the thief army, they would definitely be able to win a great victory.
Under the command of Lu Xun, all twenty Han soldiers changed into the clothes of the Taiping Army, and the rest also took off their armor and wore only the linen clothes inside.
In order to prevent the dead body from attracting the attention of the Shanyue scouts, Zhou Yi ordered the armor to be worn on the deceased, creating the illusion that the Han army had been killed.
After the scene was forged, Lu Xun took Zhou Yi and others to ride forward, and went straight to the Shanyue army camp without fear, and walked another four or five miles, only to see that the Shanyue army camp stationed in the woods was already in sight.
"If it weren't for the thieves who captured thousands of residents of the county seat, they could have set a fire and burned him without leaving a piece of armor."
Lu Xun looked down on the Shanyue army a little, these guys with developed limbs and could only drill around in the mountains, and they didn't understand the art of war and camped in this grove of trees Suddenly, a bull's horn sounded, and from the surrounding bushes, one hundred and ten Shanyue thieves poured out, all holding spears, short ge, hunting forks and other weapons, surrounding Lu Xun and his party in the center, shouting and shouting.
Lu Xun and Zhou Yi had already discussed on the road, Zhou Yi pretended to be a messenger, and Lu Xun pretended to be an entourage, after all, Lu Xun's age was too young, and it was easy to arouse the suspicion of the Shanyue thief army.
"But there are people who know the official language, we are from Jiaozhou, and we are messengers sent by great sages and good teachers" With Hong Xiuquan's seal and letter, Zhou Yi was full of confidence and spoke loudly.
The Shanyue thieves hurriedly reported to Fei Zhan and Fei You, the two brothers, who were destroying the captured women, and when they heard that the messenger of the Taiping Army had arrived, they immediately put aside the lewd pleasure and greeted them together.
After meeting, they exchanged pleasantries.
Zhou Yi has been full of poetry and books since childhood, and he has great courage, at this moment pretending to be a messenger to be more impeccable than the real messenger, and he presented a letter with a seal ribbon with both hands: "The great sage and good teacher have a life, if General Fei is willing to assist Taiping Dao Dingding Yangzhou, he will grant the general the post of Yangzhou Assassin History, Che Cavalry General, seal ribbon, letter here, please accept the general's smile" "Haha, I've bothered a few messengers, and I will reward you tonight."
The bandit leader with a bearded face and cheeks laughed and took the seal ribbon and the letter, and after reading it a few times, he no longer had any doubts, and welcomed Lu Xun, Zhou Yi and others into the camp as if they were guests.

Although it was late at night, Fei Zhan was in a good mood and ordered his subordinates to slaughter cattle and sheep and treat the envoys and his party.
After three rounds of drinking, Zhou Yi smiled and said: "I heard that your Shanyue women are delicate, I don't know if I can let the little envoy and his party feast their eyes."
They were all men, and Fei Zhan naturally knew what these envoys were thinking, so he stroked his beard and laughed: "So that the envoys know that our army has broken through the county town of Wushu today and captured thousands of strong men and young women.
The men are all in the army, and the women are all slaves, if the envoy likes it, the commander will send someone to summon dozens of them to come over and give the envoy and his party a pastime and loneliness. ” Zhou Yi smiled and said: "The beauty of a gentleman is an adult, and he is so handsome, so let us choose a few beautiful women I like."
Fei Zhan was happy today, and boldly agreed: "These women who have been captured are all imprisoned in various camps, because the army of officers and soldiers is pressing, and the brothers have not yet come to enjoy it.
"Small, take a few envoys to go around the camp tent one by one, let them choose the woman they like, and that one is not allowed to fight, otherwise this handsome knife will be ruthless" Fei Zhan waved his hand arrogantly, and motioned his subordinates to take Zhou Yi, Lu Xun and others around casually.
When Zhou Yi, Lu Xun and other twenty-two people pretended to choose women, and pretended to follow the Shanyue leader who had drunk too much.
Along the way, he silently counted the tents of the Shanyue army, as well as the number of troops, where there were traps, where there were antlers, and what the weapons and equipment were, all of which were silently remembered in my heart. t1706231537:
