Sure enough, as Yue Fei had expected, just as dawn broke, Niu Gao, Wang Gui, Tang Huai and eighty soldiers escorted a few large carriages, travel-worn, to Green Dragon Mountain.
Yue Fei couldn't care less about their long-range attacks and immediately led them to the hillside. He pointed at the various parts of the Green Dragon Mountain and ordered,"Brothers, this is the main road to the capital. The Nihan army will definitely pass through here. This road is between two mountains and a ditch, just like the mouth of a pocket. Zhao Yi, take 200 archers and guard the mountain pass. When the Jin soldiers enter the mountain, ignore them. When his 100,000 troops are all in the pocket, immediately block the mountain pass with rolling wood and stones, cutting off the return path of the Jin soldiers. Don't let a single soldier escape!”
"Understood!" Zhao Yi quickly agreed.
Yue Fei then pointed at the two sides of the hill and said," Tang Huai, Zhang Xian, each of you take a hundred men and spread some withered grass on the hillside. Spread gunpowder on it and then ambush on the east and west sides of the hill. The sound of the cannon will be the order. Once the mountain pass is sealed, fire rockets down the hill, fire cannons, and burn the Jin soldiers!”
Tang Huai and Zhang Xian quickly replied,"Yes!"”
" Fire attacks the Jin soldiers. They can't retreat to the mountain pass, so they can only run forward. There's a mountain stream in front of them. The mountain stream there is wide and fast…" Yue Fei looked at his brothers and said," Wang Gui, Shi Quan, take 200 grappling hands and fill 400 bags with sand. Build a dam to block the top of the mountain stream. When the Jin soldiers escape into the shallow stream, immediately pick up the sand bags and flood him with water. Then, wait for an opportunity to catch them with the grappling hooks!"”
"Understood!"
"If someone is lucky enough to cross the river, there will be a mountain path in front of them. Zhou Qing, take a hundred people and guard the top of the mountain path.”
"Understood!"
"Niu Gao, Ji Qing, you two each lead a hundred men to guard the main road behind the mountain. If any Jin soldiers escape there, immediately kill them!”
"Understood!"
"Yun Feng, you and I will stay at the top of the Azure Dragon Mountain to command and reinforce the various sides according to the situation!”
"Good!"
After assigning the responsibilities of the brothers, Yue Fei finally solemnly instructed,"Brothers, remember this. If you encounter a golden general with a yellow face, riding a yellow horse, wearing a jade crown, and wielding a chain hammer, you must capture him. He is the eldest prince of the Jin Kingdom, Nianhan. We can exchange his life for the two emperors. Especially Niu Gao and Ji Qing, you have to keep your eyes wide open. If that Nien Han escapes, the place most likely to be guarded by the two of you!”
Chu Yunfeng frowned slightly. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he shut his mouth.
But Niu Gao already patted his chest and loudly said: "Don't worry, Big Brother. He won't be able to escape!"
Yue Fei nodded in satisfaction and said sternly,""This battle concerns the safety of the Great Song. Brothers, you must do your best. If anything happens, you will be severely punished! Now, let's all gather our troops and set up an ambush!”
"Yes, sir!"
Niu Gao, Wang Gui, and the others saluted, then hurriedly led their troops to various places to get busy.
Yue Fei brought Zhang Bao and Chu Yunfeng to the top of Green Dragon Mountain. The view here was the most open and suitable for observing the enemy's situation in the distance.
When they reached the peak, Yue Fei suddenly asked Chu Yunfeng,""Yunfeng, I saw that you seemed to want to say something but hesitated. Is there any oversight in my plan? Or do you have a better plan? You can speak frankly!"
"This little brother's art of war is far inferior to big brother's, how could I have any better plans?”Chu Yunfeng hesitated for a moment before saying," I was just thinking about what we should do if the Jin soldiers don't enter Green Dragon Mountain.”
"Not entering Green Dragon Mountain?" Yue Fei was stunned, then he fell silent. After a long while, he patted his forehead and sighed," Thank you for your reminder, brother. This is my negligence! Our pocket formation can only be effective when the sky is dark. That Nien Han is well versed in the art of war. If he doesn't dare to enter the mountain at night, our plans will be in vain. We have to think of a way to let him in…"
"I have an idea…In the play, Zhuge Liang used the empty city tactic to scare Sima Yi. We can also learn from the ancient swindler's trick!”Chu Yunfeng smiled." We can find out the number of Jin soldiers, so they must know our numbers. In that case, we might as well reveal some of our soldiers and pretend to be fearless. However, we will leave some loopholes so that Nien Han will think that we are setting up an empty city…"
Yue Fei pondered for a moment and smiled." Brother, this plan is very clever. However, Nien Han is not stupid. If we want to lure him into the trap, we have to add fire!"”
"Add fuel to the fire?" Chu Yunfeng quickly asked," How?”
"Zhang Bao!" Yue Fei smiled confidently and ordered,""Your legs are fast, and you're smart enough. You might have to take a risk!”
"General, please speak. I will die for you!”Zhang Bao hurriedly said.
" You do this..." Yue Fei pulled Zhang Bao and instructed him carefully.
After Zhang Bao heard this, he agreed without hesitation. Then, he changed into civilian clothes and went down the mountain.
Yue Fei looked at Zhang Bao's departing figure and sighed,""Whether our plan can succeed or not will depend on whether Zhang Bao's acting can be brilliant!”
It was getting late.
Green Dragon Mountain, which had been noisy for a day, returned to silence. Thick clouds and mist lingered in the sky. The setting sun could only take a small gap and shoot out streaks of crimson light.
However, there seemed to be a hint of blood under these multicolored lights.
At the top of the Azure Dragon Mountain.
Yue Fei was writing on a piece of paper. It was a poem: In autumn, the scenery in the frontier fortress is very different. The wild geese in Hengyang go away without paying attention. The sound of horns rises from all sides. Thousands of mountains are surrounded by smoke and sunset. The lonely city is closed. A cup of turbid wine, home thousands of miles, Yan Ran did not return home without a plan, Qiang Guan long frost all over the ground, people can not sleep, the general's white hair levy husband tears.
The cursive strokes were like iron hooks and silver strokes. The strength of the strokes penetrated the back of the paper. Even a layman like Chu Yunfeng could see that these words were extraordinary!
His literary talent, martial arts, and charisma, this was the legendary general Yue Fei, a true all-rounder.
What impressed Chu Yunfeng the most was that he was still in such a good mood despite knowing that the Jin Kingdom army was about to arrive at the foot of the mountain!
Yue Fei seemed to know what Chu Yunfeng was thinking. He wrote down his name on the bottom left corner of the paper and then looked up at Chu Yunfeng with a smile."Brother, remember, the path of a general is to cultivate your heart first. Only when Mount Tai collapsed in front of him could he remain calm, and only when the elk was excited could he not blink his eyes. Only then could he put the interests of the battlefield in his heart and deal with the enemy better! Writing for my brother is to calm my heart. Only with a calm heart can I not be blinded by a leaf and not see Mount Tai!”
"I see!" Chu Yunfeng nodded. In fact, this was similar to what his master had told him when they parted ways. Both were warning him to keep his mind calm when he encountered a strong enemy and not be affected by external factors. Only then could he find a chance to win in the disadvantageous situation.
It was just that this kind of thing was easy to say, but it was too difficult to do. Everyone knew this principle, but how many people could really do it?
At least Chu Yunfeng admitted that he couldn't do it!
Yue Fei thought for a moment and suddenly stood up, saying seriously,""Brother, I still have to advise you!”
"Please speak, Big Brother!" Chu Yunfeng was startled and quickly said.
Yue Fei said," From your appearance, I can tell that you came from a rich family. Although you are good at martial arts, it is your first time out of the family. When we first met, it seemed that your hands were stained with blood for the first time when you fought with the Jin Kingdom scouts, right?"”
"Uh…Big Brother's eyes are like torches!"
Although there were all kinds of unpleasant things in modern life, compared to the people of this era, it was really a life like heaven. At least it had the wealth that people in this war-torn era hoped for the most--peace!
Yue Fei sighed." Brother, as a soldier and a general, killing people and seeing blood is a common occurrence. However, the things that we kill are to stop, not to simply kill. Although my brother is righteous, if he kills too much, it will eventually leave a stain on his heart, like a pearl covered in dust, which is extremely difficult to wipe clean. As generals, we are different from soldiers. We must not be merciful on the battlefield, but we must be careful when we are on the battlefield. Otherwise, we will definitely lead to disaster. I would like to advise you to find something that can cultivate your character and reduce your hostility.”
"Something about cultivating one's character?"
Chu Yunfeng didn't think much of it at first, but then he broke out in a cold sweat.
He was originally an ordinary white-collar worker. He had not even seen a chicken being killed, much less killing someone. The most thrilling time was when he commanded the Lin Family villagers to kill the Taihang Mountain bandits with traps. However, the sky was dark at that time, and he could not see much of the enemy's blood at all. They were almost all dead. In the end, he saw Lin Kui covered in blood, but because of his anger, he didn't have time to think about it.
Later, when he went to Penglai Island, those images gradually weakened and did not cause much hindrance to his heart.
Although he had practiced Kung Fu for more than a year, which made him more courageous, it did not mean that he did not have a psychological burden when it came to killing.
In the battle more than ten days ago, he had killed hundreds of Jin Kingdom scouts with his saber and his gun. However, he had no choice but to do so.
If he didn't kill anyone, they would kill him.
After that battle, he had nightmares for several days. It was as if he could see a boundless sea of blood whenever he closed his eyes.
This fear lasted until yesterday. After another great battle, the faint fear suddenly turned into a kind of…inexplicable excitement.
He no longer felt disgusted by the gore. Instead, he felt a hint of anticipation.
This change was not a good thing. After all, he did not belong to this era of war. He would eventually return to the peace of the modern world. If the mission was completed and he returned home safely, he would inexplicably suffer from post-war psychological syndrome. Where was the f * cking logic in this?
Just like Yue Fei said, finding something to attract his attention and cultivating his emotions should be able to alleviate this symptom, right?
"Big brother is right. Blood and killing intent can easily change one's temperament. This little brother should indeed find an activity to cultivate his body and mind!”Chu Yunfeng thought for a moment and said," It's just that I don't have much to do other than practicing martial arts. I'm a little lost. What recommendations do you have, Big Brother?"”
Yue Fei laughed,"As the saying goes, a gentleman has eight elegant qualities. Qin, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine, flowers, tea. Those who are good at playing the piano are easy to understand, those who are good at chess are wise and resourceful, those who are good at calligraphy are sincere and sincere, those who are good at painting are sincere and beautiful, those who are good at poetry are sincere and sincere, those who are good at drinking are close to their confidants, those who are good at flowers are happy, and those who are good at tea are good at edifying their sentiments. These eight things can make people happy and calm down. Buddhism pays attention to compassion, while Taoism pays attention to nature. If you like it, you can learn from a famous teacher!”
" Guqin, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine, flowers, tea, Buddha, Dao…"
Chu Yunfeng thought about it and was about to say something when he heard Yue Fei say,""He's here!"
