After being forced to marry the prince

The group reunited after a long absence, and after a few laughs, they quickly got down to business, Lin Tong frowned and said:

"The guards here are very strict, probably the entire army of Yuzhou is here."

Ze An Yu asked strangely: "Nearly three to forty thousand people, all sent to guard such a mine?"

Lin Tong nodded, "There is almost a tight circle around the mine, and some people are guarding the miners, and will torture them if they are negligent."

Gu Baiji asked: "Is it really iron ore?"

Lin Tong nodded, "Our people have mixed in with the iron ore transporter, and it has been confirmed that it is indeed iron ore. This mine has been mined for about half a year."

"The time is not short." Gu Baiji asked again, "How many miners are there?"

Lin Tong guessed and said a rough number, and Chu Wu sighed, "It seems that all the missing adult men in the city have really been arrested here."

Talking about going in and arresting people again, Lin Tong said sadly: "General, this Liu Wangshan is very cunning. The terrain here is peculiar, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and he made some arrangements, saying that one man is in charge of the gate, and ten thousand men cannot open it." Not too much."

Speaking of this Lin Po, he still felt a little emotional, "This Liu Wangshan has some talent for marching and fighting, but unfortunately his mind is not on the right track, and he is doing things like stealing national wealth, collaborating with the enemy, and harming the people."

Gu Baiji looked at the rough map drawn by several people, and thought: "Is there any other path to enter the mountain?"

Lin Tong shook his head, "This Yuqian Mountain is getting deeper and deeper, and there are many cliffs. I can't see any detours to get there."

Ze An Yu said: "4000 people are not many, if we insist on forcibly breaking through, how sure are we?"

Although they only had less than 1000 people this time, Ze An Yu's words were not bragging. Gu Baiji's army could scare soldiers from many countries on the battlefield. It is not too much to reach ten.

Lin Tong still shook his head, "It's too risky. I wouldn't be afraid if they were on flat ground, but they occupy a favorable position. If they break through by force, even if they succeed, the loss will be immeasurable."

"No hurry." Gu Baiji said, "First get familiar with the environment and find out their work and rest habits."

Lin Tong's eyes lit up, "The general has an idea?"

"A rough idea, it's not clear yet." Gu Baiji said, "We can't get in, we just lure people out."

"Bring it out?" Lin Tong asked, "What does the general mean?"

Gu Baiji smiled and asked Chu Wu, "Ah, what's your opinion?"

Chu Wu thought for a while and said, "Yuzhou is in a drought. It is obviously not a normal way for Liu Wangshan to feed so many people. This iron is his bargaining chip."

So it is necessary to lure out the people inside and cut off their transportation routes.

"However..." Chu Wu thought for a while and said again, "General, the cunning rabbit has three caves."

This Yuqian Mountain is deep and steep, and there is no guarantee that Liu Wangshan has no other path.

Gu Baiji nodded, "So the best way is to go in and wipe out all the people, otherwise those innocent people will be the first to suffer."

But no matter what, everyone still saw a direction. If they explored for a few more days, if they still didn't get anything, they had to use this method.

After dinner in the evening, everyone discussed until about Xu time, when suddenly a soldier came to report that someone from outside the camp asked to see him, and the Taoist claimed his surname was Zhao Mingzhi.

Gu Baiji and Chu Wu looked at each other, and quickly sent an order to let him in.

The Gu family army was killed out of thousands of troops, and the army looked dignified. Even at this time when they were camping in the mountains and forests, and there was no fighting for the time being, they were quite relaxed, and they faintly revealed some killing spirit.

This is the famous Gu Jiajun, the brave division who protected Dazhao for decades.

Zhao Zhi walked through the crowd, thinking as he walked.

There was a bit of envy in my heart, and a little bit of apprehension, but it didn't show on the surface, and walked in front of Gu Baiji calmly.

"I met General Gu!"

Gu Baiji waved his hand, "You and I are not considered to be meeting for the first time, but also old acquaintances, so there is no need to be polite."

Zhao Zhi was not his subordinate, so Gu Baiji asked someone to sit aside.

Zhao Zhi declined, looked around at the surrounding people calmly, seemed to settle down, and said: "Dare to ask the general, you have already been here but have not attacked, but you are looking for a path into the mine?"

Gu Baiji nodded, it was not surprising that he would know, according to Zhao Zhi's hatred for Liu Wangshan, he was obviously quite familiar with this mountain, most likely this person had been observing here for many days before they arrived.

"Do you have any suggestions?"

Zhao Zhi nodded, "I do know a way, but the journey is long and difficult, but it is very secretive, and I can directly detour behind the mine without anyone noticing."

"Excellent!" Gu Baiji exclaimed, "Brother Zhao will lead the way."

The road Zhao Zhi said is indeed hidden, all the way across the river and down the cliff, and there is even a section of the road that has to pass through a cave. It is no wonder that Lin Tong and the others have not been able to find it after many days of investigation.

But it is true that the road is difficult. Fortunately, the soldiers of the Gu family have extraordinary skills, not to mention walking on flat ground, but they didn't have to work hard.

The distance is also really long, and it is only halfway from sunrise to nightfall.

Due to the steep mountain road, walking at night is prone to accidents, so Gu Bai ordered to rectify and rest at a slightly calm place.

The resting place was on a gentle slope, and a group of experienced soldiers began to set up camp and firewood. Soon there was a burst of warmth and the aroma of food in the simple camp.

Since Ze Anyu carried Chu Yu on his back for a while, he felt that he had a responsibility, so he took the initiative to take over the task of carrying Chu Yu along the way, and took care of various other matters.

Chu Wu couldn't help much, but he was a little idle.

Gu Baiji took Chu Wu to the temporary tent and asked him to rest for a while, "It's rare to have a rest, and it's not good to eat cold food all the time. I'll let them make some soup with jerky, and you'll have some later."

He paused, worried that Chu Wu would like the taste, and persuaded, "Although the taste is not very good, but it is good for your health, you should drink some as if you were taking medicine."

Chu Wu smiled and said: "The general is worrying too much, I don't care about these things."

Gu Baiji was taken aback for a moment, then laughed.Indeed, when did his Ayou become so squeamish, he cared about himself, always worried that Chu Wu would be by his side, and because of him, Chu Wu would not be able to eat or sleep well.

Logically speaking, General Gu came and went in the wind and rain. In his heart, it is only natural for a man to endure hardship, but when it was his family's Ayou's turn, he felt a little bit reluctant.

The famine in Yuzhou was severe, and even wild game in the mountains and forests was rare.

Chu Wu smiled, stretched out his hand and pulled Gu Baiji to sit beside him, and said with a smile, "I know that you are good, General, but it doesn't affect you to rest for a while."

Gu Baiji happily sat down, stretched out his arms to wrap around Chu Wu's waist, let him lie down, and used his legs as a pillow for him.

The smell of meat soon came from the woods, dispelling the coolness of the night a lot.

Chu Yu ate sweetly with the soup and cakes, and An Yu quickly added more to him after finishing a bowl.

Chu Wu looked at this scene from a distance, smiled, and was about to leave with the bowl in hand, when he suddenly saw Zhao Zhi in the corner.

When Zhao Zhi came to see them this time, he didn't bring anyone with him, and he didn't know whether it was because of his precautions or what. Except for reminding everyone that there might be obstacles on the road when he was on his way, he stayed alone at other times.His face was silent, and his eyes were staring at a certain place in the night sky without focus.

Chu Wuduo asked for a bowl of soup, walked over and handed it to Zhao Zhi, "Why don't you eat something?"

Zhao Zhi came back to his senses, hurriedly stretched out his hand to take it, put it aside carefully, then cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness Ke!"

"You don't need to be too polite." Chu Wu said, and sat down beside him.

The two were speechless for a while, Chu Wu sipped the soup, thought for a while, and said softly, "Ms. Song should be safe for the time being."
