Wang Junlin knew that these people were all in good spirits and their morale was high. Apart from having confidence in themselves, there was another biggest reason - they knew that after Wang Junlin came to Zhangye City and took over the military power, he would inevitably open his mouth. The killing ring cleared away the influence of Li Shi and Li Fengyun in Zhangye's army, and a large position would be vacated at that time. As long as they performed well in the next process of following Wang Junlin in fighting the Turks, they would have a great chance of being promoted.

"Okay, everyone, go back and prepare to evacuate the camp. We will set off in half an hour. Niu Jinda sent scouts to scout five miles ahead." Wang Junlin finally gave the order.

Everyone stepped in to say hello, and then left the main tent where Wang Junlin was, and each went to prepare to evacuate the camp.

Seeing that autumn is coming to an end, the weather is getting colder, especially in the mountains where it already feels like winter. In Wang Junlin's tent, there is a brazier made by his own soldiers to keep warm.

After all the generals at all levels left, Wang Junlin immediately ordered the guards to stand outside the tent and not allow anyone to approach him. Then he, Xu Jingzong, Yu Zimo, and Zhan Peng surrounded the brazier, unfolded the map, and thought hard about how to deal with the Turks. Method.

Not only do 3,000 people have to defeat 5,000 Turkic Silver Wolf King Cavalry, but they also need to take no more than three days, otherwise they will be surrounded by the army led by Li Fengyun if they rush out of the Heilang Xing. , it has no meaning.

"Master Hou, if you don't want to prepare some peerless poison, I will take my brothers to sneak into the Turkic camp at night and poison their troops." Zhan Peng said after thinking for a while.

Wang Junlin shook his head and said: "The Turkic people must be very vigilant when they go deep into our hinterland, and these five thousand Turkic people must be lightly packed, without tents, and they rob and use food and grass all the way. It is a habit that people and horses are not separated, and everyone brings their own food and water. How do you poison?"

Zhanpeng sighed depressedly, and said: "What Hou Ye said is that the low-level thinking is too simple."

Xu Jingzong frowned and pondered, he really wanted to come up with a clever plan, taking advantage of Liu Ziming to pick up the family members of Feihuzhai, and taking the opportunity to establish Wang Junlin's position as the number one counselor and even the military adviser around Wang Junlin, but he couldn't think of a way for a while .

Wang Junlin also frowned and pondered, unable to think of a good strategy for a while, but now that the three thousand people have just been subdued, the generals and officers cannot be called to discuss this matter, so as not to affect morale, so they can only discuss it in private At most, call Niu Jinda and Shangguanhu.

Just when everyone felt that they were about to rack their brains, Guoer, who lived in the side tent, noticed that the fire in the brazier was getting weaker, so he came in with a bundle of dry firewood to add firewood to the brazier. Attracted, he smiled silly at him, then looked at the fire in the brazier, blinked his eyes, and said suddenly: "Master, you burned tens of thousands of Western Turkic people to death in Shuiquan Pass last year, why don't you burn them to death again?" Turks."

Yuzimo might just say it casually, but when Wang Junlin heard it, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he said with a smile: "Zimo is indeed my lucky general, I have an idea!"

Famous generals have been fond of attacking with fire since ancient times, and the most famous one was Zhuge Wuhou in the Three Kingdoms period. Then another fire burned Xinye and Chibi, and the three fires wiped out Cao Cao's million-strong army. No matter how it is recorded in the official history, Wang Junlin thought of Zhuge Liang's three fires at this time. He, Wang Junlin, was no weaker than Zhuge Wuhou's three fires in the battle of burning Shuiquanguan last year, so why not burn another fire now.

"Master Hou means..." Zhan Peng cheered up and asked joyfully.

Xu Jingzong said: "Northwestern Yongzhou is dry and dry, and there has been no rain recently. In late autumn, the black wolf's nest is full of dry grass, which can be used as a fire starter... What the Lord Hou meant was to bring the Turkic people into the country. Black wolves, and then burn them to death inside?"

Xu Jingzong was indeed a very thoughtful person, and he was the first to express Wang Junlin's idea.

Wang Junlin nodded and said: "It's just that I'm not very familiar with the terrain of Heilangxing. How to set fire can only be determined after further investigation of the terrain."

Zhan Peng immediately said: "Master Hou, I used to be the centurion leader of the scouting team. It is better to hand over the scouting terrain and find the places where the ambush missed. I will guarantee to complete the task."

Wang Junlin pondered for a while, and said: "Okay, now you lead ten guards, one person and two horses, and set off ahead of time with a map. I will wait for your good news."

Zhanpeng agreed, went down immediately to select the manpower, and then set off ahead of schedule.

Half an hour later, 3,000 troops set out from camp and entered Hei Lang Xing.

…

…

Two days later, when Wang Junlin led the army through half of the Heilang Xing, Zhan Peng finally led his people back.

"Your Majesty, I am lucky to have such a humble job. I have found a place that is quite suitable for my master's strategy of attacking with fire."

While talking, Zhanpeng took out the map from his arms, unfolded it quickly, pointed to a place, and said, "Master Hou, this is the place, and the name of this place is Yelugou!"

"Wild donkey ditch?"

"Yes, there is a group of wild donkeys living here for many years, so it is called the wild donkey ditch. It is said to be a ditch, but it is actually a small circular valley. There are many weeds and vines in the valley, and they are all dry now. But it is the best kind of igniter. After observation, I found that as long as I put down the igniter in many places in advance, once it is ignited at the same time, the whole valley will burn quickly. If the valley mouth can be sealed again, it will definitely The person who called never came back."

Wang Junlin was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said: "In this case, we will choose this place."

Xu Jingzong frowned slightly, and said: "The place has been selected, and the strategy has been determined, but how to lure the Turks into this wild donkey ditch? Who will do this? If the Turks cannot be lured into the valley, It's all useless."

Wang Junlin smiled slightly, and said: "Jingzong's worries are correct, but I already have a solution in my mind. As for attracting the Turkic people, the other party is after me, so naturally I will do it myself. Come, send the order to the army. Rest in the ground, and all the officers above the centurion come to discuss the matter."

…

…

The war horse started to gallop, and Yu Zimo, who was following Wang Junlin, looked very comfortable. Although five thousand Turkic silver wolf king cavalry might appear in front of him, since he met Shen Guoer, waiting for the day of battle was the happiest for him But once he starts fighting, his life will climb to the most intense peak.

Bloodmane and Lynx Mao Mao also live very comfortably these days. For them, as long as they don't stay in the city and gallop in the wild, they will feel happy.

This is not a capital city where there are no horseshoes in Asakusa, but a grassland on the edge of the Qilian Mountains where cattle and sheep can be seen under the wind and grass.
