Chapter eight hundred and seventy-four: meeting the enemy
Chen Yanyi was so excited that he was trembling. He narrowed his eyes and a look of greed flashed through his eyes. Then, the greed turned into a fierce light, and then he said word by word:
"This is a good opportunity, a good opportunity. Since it is a good opportunity, you must not miss it. If you can capture Chen Kaizhi alive, you can take him to Chang'an to punish him and pay homage to the spirits of his ancestors. But if you cannot capture him alive, you must not be a woman's kindness. You can simply kill him and take his population and hang him on the city tower of Hangu Pass. In this way, Chen Kaizhi's gangsters in Luoyang will be defeated without attacking him."
Yang Chen was also very excited. He wanted to catch a warrior camp, but unexpectedly, he caught a big fish. Chen Kaizhi actually came in person. That's all. As long as Chen Kaizhi is killed, everything will be fine.
Therefore, he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty said, I think so too. Your Majesty Don't worry, once this 500 Warriors camp is buried, it will be vulnerable. No matter how powerful they are, their supplies and the firearms and ammunition they rely on are not enough. At most, they can be trapped for one or two days, and they can defeat them. Please rest assured!"
Chen Yanyi nodded and said excitedly: "I am afraid I can't sleep all night tonight. I'll summon all officials early tomorrow morning and wait for the good news."
Yang Chen nodded: "My minister, follow the order."
He saluted and said goodbye to Chen Yanyi's bedroom.
After leaving the bedroom, an old eunuch bent over Yang Chen. Yang Chen looked up at the moon in the sky. Thinking that the big thing was settled, he couldn't help but sigh. The old eunuch bent over and said, "God Yang walks slowly."
Yang Chen stopped, looked at the old eunuch sideways, and said bluntly: "Your Majesty has been in the bedroom these days, what have you done and said?"
"In the past few days, Your Majesty's mood has changed greatly. Sometimes he is depressed, but sometimes he is very proud. Your Majesty has a lot of trust in Duke Yang, and he often mentions His Majesty's name and praises him."
Yang Chen nodded and said, "Oh. You still have to stare at me well. You must be careful. None of the people in the Chen family are good-for-nothing people. The Empress Dowager will suffer losses in the hands of the brothers Chen Wuji and Chen Kaizhi. This time, you must not repeat the same mistakes. You must coax Chen Yanyi very well. This person is still worth it. You must not be angry. But people must also keep a close eye on them. If there is any slight disturbance, you must report me."
What passed by Yang Chen's eyes was a faint light. He said word by word: "This is a crucial thing!"
The old eunuch bowed silently and said, "I understand that I will never dare to be disrespectful. Please don't worry, Mr. Yang."

The moon in the sky is still bright, hanging high in the sky, like a disk. The hazy light of this jade plate shines on the earth, as if it tear a hole in the darkness.
The officers and soldiers of the Warriors' camp had already walked on the official road, and there was no people along the way. Chen Kaizhi walked, and along the way, he ordered people to carry the lamp and watch the map he carried with him. He seemed not in a hurry. Chen Wuji followed Chen Kaizhi carefully and looked at Chen Kaizhi curiously.
At such an important moment, the emperor's brother was as calm as water, as if he was fine. Chen Wuji couldn't help but sigh in his heart that he would never learn such a thing in his life.
"It should be the place where the ambush is not far away." Chen Kaizhi narrowed his eyes and seemed extremely calm: "This place is surrounded by mountains and only official roads, which is a must-pass place for entering Chang'an. They are ambushed here, which is carefully planned."
Chen Kaizhi then said, "Look..." He seemed very patient and wanted Chen Wuji to learn some knowledge. He carefully analyzed it for Chen Wuji: "There are many mountains here and the roads are winding, which is most suitable for setting up ambush. Moreover, when we get here, it is roughly... it's time for dawn. If tens of thousands of troops are here, they will definitely try their best to avoid night battles. Do you know why?"
Chen Wuji couldn't help but shake his head and asked in confusion: "Why, logically speaking, wouldn't it be the best if it was an ambush at night?"
Chen Kaizhi smiled slightly and explained to Chen Wuji carefully: "Night battles are not beneficial to the more people. The more people, the more difficult it is to organize. At night, once they are charged, the army may be scattered and there is no way to organize them. So you see, most of the troops attacked at night are selected elite troops, and the fewer the number of people, the easier it is to trample on each other, and may even blindly rush to the Dragon King Temple. They will never attack at night, so they must wait for their hard work, and want to be at dawn, that is, when the sky is shining."
Chen Wuji nodded quickly and thought: "No wonder most of the battles that have won the most with fewer victory are surprise attacks at night, so it turns out that this is the reason."
Chen Kaizhi looked at the sky, and under the dim stars and moon, it seemed very quiet and strange. Chen Kaizhi smiled and then continued: "But this is not bad for us. The road is narrow and the number of people on the other side may not be able to be expanded. If we are rushing in all directions in the wilderness, it will be troublesome. We are the vanguard army, and we must defend here like a nail, waiting for Xu Jie to bring three thousand reinforcements. Perhaps now... they have arrived in Mengjin."
Chen Kaizhi said: "Issuing orders to ask the soldiers to speed up their pace and to rush there as soon as possible. The mantis stalks the cicadas. These people don't know that the oriole is behind."
A few miles forward, a mist was rising on the official road between the mountains. Only at this time, the stars and moon had already fallen down the mountain. A ray of dawn, like a sword, seemed to penetrate the mist, break through the darkness, bringing a trace of light, and adding a layer of gauze to the mountains.
At this moment, the horse's hooves rose up, and the horse who was inquiring in front came back. At the moment, a scout from the warrior camp shouted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty... There is a thief army ahead, there is a thief army..."
Chen Kaizhi was shocked and ordered the entire army to stop. The probing horse quickly came to Chen Kaizhi, fell off the horse, and said anxiously: "There are a large number of scouts in front of him, who are the scouts of the rebels, and there are a large number of people. If your Majesty had not given any explanation, you must be careful. If you almost did not have any ambush, you would be taken by the scouts of the other party."
Chen Kaizhi then realized that an unfallen arrow rod was inserted diagonally on the horse's arm, and blood was flowing from his arm, causing serious injuries.
Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but tighten his heart, his brows frowned deeply, and the next moment he raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and he actually smiled coldly.
"As it turns out, inspector Zhang Ming and Zhang, I have read you wrong at all. The person who came... sent an order to stop moving forward immediately. Everyone, set up defenses on the mountain, piled up cars and horses on the periphery, prepare for... battle!"
"Stop moving forward and set up defenses on the spot!"
"Stop moving forward and set up defenses on the spot!"
One sound after another began to break through the sky.
The roadbed of this official road is not far from the foot of the mountain. Five hundred soldiers seemed to be ready. They rushed the car one by one. They arrived at the foot of the mountain. They untied the livestock on the car and let the livestock scatter, quickly surrounding the dozens or hundreds of large cars into a defensive circle.
Then, everyone entered the defense circle, took the short gun, and entered the alert.
All of this was just two or three incense-filled time. Those who followed were all elites of the Warriors camp. After a long battle, everyone's face was heavy, but none of them felt timid. They were all ready to fight.
Chen Kaizhi and his men passed through countless weeds, shrubs and trees and climbed up the mountain. Chen Kaiyi climbed up a tall pine tree. He held a distant tube specially polished by a craftsman and looked into the distance. At this time, the mist of the morning had gradually dissipated. A few miles away from the end of the official road, the black horses were sharpened, like long snakes, winding to the corner of another mountain, without seeing the end.
Chen Kaizhi looked at the black army and did not show any timidity. He was still very calm and said slowly: "The number of people is roughly around 20,000, and there is at least this number."
Chen Wuji stood under the tree, looking at the military horse, but couldn't see clearly. He saw a black flag flying, but heard Chen Kai's report, and he couldn't help but ask, "Brother has counted it?"
Chen Kaizhi shook his head: "I just saw the commander of the central army. The coach seemed to have surrounded more than 30 tooth generals and beat seventeen flags. Of course, this is just an estimate. Go down the mountain, don't be afraid, the sky will not fall."
Chen Kaizhi took the telescope, jumped down the tree, and then remembered something, and handed the telescope to Chen Wuji: "When you take this, you give it to you, the most important thing is to know yourself and your enemy, this is the eyes of the general. With it, although you may not be able to know the whole picture of the other party, you can also get a glimpse of the truth."
Chen Wuji looked at the telescope curiously, but it was not very clear. He couldn't help but say, "It's vague."
Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but say, "You have to look far. You can see this so close, so naturally that's the case. Don't look at it first, go down the mountain."
When Chen Kaizhi returned to the defensive circle at the foot of the mountain, he was already waiting for the battle.
