The two secretly planned for a long time, and finally started a battle with Yumen Pass in October 178.

The first step to lure the snake out of the hole is to have a bait, if the bait is less, the Zhenbei army may not believe it, if it is more, it will also arouse suspicion, so Lu Qi decided to personally lead a team of ten people as bait and enter Yumen Pass to implement the plan to lure the snake out of the hole.

Lu Qi took advantage of the night to leave the desert oasis, taking the thin monkey, Ouyang Fei, Ouyang Xiu and the six people sent by the prince of You, the reason why he brought the two brothers of the thin monkey and Ouyang was precisely because the three of them were once spies sent by the Purple Kingdom to Yumen Pass, and Lu Qi thought that it was better to plan and plan in order to lure out the Zhenbei army.

The strategy is just to lure the Zhenbei Army out of the Yumen Pass, and then it will be broken one by one, first let the thin monkey, Ouyang Xiu and others ventilate the news, the ghost army appears in the desert, and the Zhenbei army will inevitably attack as a whole army, as long as the Zhenbei army goes out of the Yumen Pass, the ghost army has been ten times more familiar with the desert battlefield than the Zhenbei army for many years, so that it can fight with the Zhenbei army.

On the morning of the second day after Lu Qi left, Thirteen Niang found that it was abnormal, Lu Qi was gone, and immediately found Baya Xinyou, and said angrily: "Second brother, what are you taking Lu Qi for?"

Baya Xinyou pretended not to know: "No, I'm not here?"

Thirteen Niang Zou Mei, and then turned left and right in Baya Xinyou's room, but couldn't find any trace of Lu Qi, and then looked for the thin monkey Ouyang Xiu and others, but they were all gone, Thirteen Niang suddenly became anxious, and her heart was up and down, Baya Xinyou saw that Thirteen Niang panicked, and then came out and said: "Oh, oops, I'm afraid that kid left the oasis and ran to the Jade Gate!"

Thirteen Niang was shocked when she heard this: "How is this possible, I have already explained to him that it is impossible to let him get close without the Ziling Zhenbei Army, this kid is smart, how can he go to Yumen Pass!"

Baya Xinyou saw that he didn't scare Thirteen Niang at this time, and then said the planned lines: "Last night, he came to me and said if there was any other way out of the desert, I said no, he said that he was still young, he couldn't be trapped in the desert, and he wanted to find a way out, presumably either going to the Yumen Gate or finding another way out." After speaking, he didn't forget to add a sentence: "Why is this kid so disobedient, he has to go out!"

"Yes, he is still young, he is unwilling to be trapped in the desert all the time, he must be looking for a way out, second brother, you hurry up and get him back!"

Baya Xinyou is happy in her heart, and it seems that great things can be expected.

But he still suppressed his joy and said, "I'll find someone to inquire where he is going, and I will definitely find it for your sister." ”

After this inquiry, I learned that Lu Qi was really going in the direction of Yumen Pass, and it was obviously too late to chase after him now.

"This is terrible, if you let Yue Hanjiang's old immortal know Lu Qi's identity, he will definitely die!" Baya Xinyou continued to add fuel to the fire.

"What can I do, what can I do!" Thirteen Niang only felt that her whole body was emptied, and her mind was blank.

"No, no matter what, I can't let my nephew have an accident, I will immediately gather troops and horses to attack Yumen Pass!" Baya Xin said arrogantly: "Sister, you don't have to stop me again, come here, send Lingshuai back, and inform Manager Lin in addition!"

After speaking, Baya Xinyou no longer paid attention to Thirteen Niang, but strode out, gathered the generals, left the desert oasis in a mighty way, and pressed towards the direction of Yumen Pass.

On the other hand, Lu Qi and his party walked on foot on the desert and walked for two days before they vaguely saw the outline of Yumen Pass.

"It's about to go to the Yumen Pass, it's dangerous, now you don't want to follow me, you can turn around and leave!" Lu Qi stopped and looked at Ouyang Xiu and the others behind him.

The six people sent by the Youwang said: "Even if it is death, you must strive for a way out!"

Lu Qi smiled with satisfaction!

"Okay, let's get closer to Yumen Pass in the evening. ”

When dusk came, the sunset pulled the shadows of Lu Qi and others on the desert for a long time, and the soldiers on duty of the Zhenbei Army who were high above hurriedly blew the horn: "Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

When Lu Qi heard this, he secretly sighed in his heart about the quality of the Zhenbei Army, we are only ten people and can be regarded as an enemy attack, then your 50,000 Zhenbei Army in Yumen Pass really looks up to us.

"Crossbowmen ready, aim, shoot!"

Before Lu Qi could get any closer, sharp arrows like rain came intensively, but Lu Qi and the others hurriedly crawled and fled, and then tore off the corner of their clothes and raised them high, announcing their surrender.

The Zhenbei army saw that the people were unarmed, so they talked to Lu Qi and others under the city.

"Who is outside the gate?" The general guarding Yumen Pass is called Lin Dong, and Lu Qi knows this person.

"Commander Lin Dong, it's me, Lu Qi!" Lu Qi shouted wiping his sweat.

Lin Dong fixed his eyes and saw that this was not the kid who was expelled from Yumen Pass half a year ago? At that time, Zhen Guogong had specially taken care of him, so why did he run back now? In his heart, he asked Lu Qi in confusion: "Your Excellency has been expelled from the Guan, why did you return?"

Lu Qi saw that he was an acquaintance and could talk normally, so he put down his hanging heart, and said with a frightened face: "Commander Lin Dong, let me enter the customs quickly, the ghost army is raging in the desert, seeing that I will kill without saying a word, it is really helpless, there is nowhere to escape, so I took refuge in Yumen Pass!"

"What? The ghost army appeared?" Lin Dong was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly explained to his subordinates: "Take care of them, I'll go to the commander of Zhenbei to report!" said that he left in a hurry, Lu Qi saw this, and said in his heart, it seems that Zhenguo Gong really hated the ghost army, and at that time he only heard him say that he had not returned to his homeland for seventeen years, most of which was caused by the ghost army, so that the plan to lure the snake out of the hole had been mostly successful.

After a short time, Lin Dong returned to the high wall and asked his subordinates to open the pass and let Lu Qi and others enter the pass.

Seeing the scene of Yumen Pass again, everyone was extremely emotional.

In Yumen Pass, although the climate is still dry, the entrance is no longer golden sand, but a special earthy yellow road, until it comes to the garrison of the Northern Army in Yumen Pass, Lin Dong took Lu Qi and others into it, and the Hanjiang River of Zhenguo Gongyue is already waiting.

After half a year, Lu Qi saw Zhen Guogong again, he was over the age of sixties, and what was hidden under the helmet was gray sideburns, although there was no war, but he was armoured, his expression was not angry and self-assured, and his eyes were blazing watching every move of Lu Qi and others.

But to Lu Qi's surprise, it was not the ghost army that Zhenguo openly asked, but himself.

"I said that your kid has only been out for half a year and will run back, although I have a relationship with your father, but I can't take you in!"

"Zhenguo Gong don't think about it, the kid has no intention of turning back, it's really the ghost army that has become brutal recently, forcing us to attack Yumen Pass with him, if he doesn't comply, he will be killed on the spot, I finally escaped from death before I escaped to Yumen Pass, and I will give you a message in case the ghost army suddenly attacks!" Lu Qi looked terrified.

"Oh, is that so?" I saw Zhen Guogong's eyes flickering, as if he wanted to see something from it.

When the others saw the gaze cast by Zhenguo Gong, they instantly trembled and did not dare to speak.

"Commander of Zhenbei, what that kid said is true, the ghost army has appeared in the desert, and it will be captured in the near future. Ouyang Xiu stood up and said at this time.

Zhen Guogong couldn't see the abnormality from Lu Qi and the others, wondering whether their words were credible, and cast an inquiring look at Lin Dong, Lin Dong didn't know how to answer, so he could only shake his head.

"Who is that kid?" Seeing that Lin Dong couldn't give an answer, Zhen Guogong suddenly got up and asked Ouyang Xiu condescendingly.

Ouyang Xiu suddenly felt the pressure coming, and couldn't help but tremble: "Lu... Lu Qi!" Before he could come to his senses, he heard Zhen Guogong quickly ask: "Who is Lu Qi?" Ouyang Xiu replied with a trembling mouth: "Little one doesn't know, Lord Commander, I really don't know!" This scene looked at Zhen Guogong's eyes, thinking in his heart that Ouyang Xiu didn't know Lu Qi's identity, I tried this, so he thought that Lu Qi was a member of the Ghost Army, so he was so flustered, it seems that this matter is true.

"Then let me ask you again, how many people are there in the Ghost Army?

"There are about 10,000 people, I can't tell the difference between the front army and the rear army!" Ouyang Xiu said slowly.

The thin monkey also came out at this time and said, "Commander Zhenbei, didn't you send us out of the Yumen Pass back then just to find out where the ghost army was hiding?"

Zhen Guogong turned his head to look at the thin monkey, only feeling that this person was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while, and asked, "Who are you?"

"Commander of Zhenbei, I am Dong Haoren, and it has been almost five years since you personally sent me out of Yumen Pass!" It turned out that the name of the thin monkey was Dong Haoren, and he was indeed as his name.

"Oh, I remember, because your wife was kidnapped by Hu Fu, and then reported to the court and had no way, killed Hu Fu at night, should have killed someone to pay for his life, and then was sent to Dong Haoren of Yumen Pass?"

Lu Qi heard that Zhen Guogong was able to tell the experience of the thin monkey clearly, and he couldn't help but think in his heart that the last time Zhen Guogong looked like a hippie smile, but in fact it was unfathomable, no wonder this person led the Zhenbei Army for more than ten years.

"Yes, it's me, I didn't expect that Zhen Guogong would still remember me after five years!" The thin monkey was a little excited in his heart, and his palm touched his head very unnaturally.

"Have you ever seen the Ghost Army appear in the desert?" asked Zhen Guogong again after confirming the identity of the thin monkey.

Lu Qi knew the relationship between the thin monkey and Zhen Guogong, and suddenly secretly screamed that it was not good, if the thin monkey told the truth at this time, I am afraid that he would not be able to get out of the Zhenbei military camp today, thinking about making the worst preparations, his eyes were fixed on Zhen Guogong, if the thin monkey did not say according to the plan at this time, only by immediately controlling Zhen Guogong could he hope to escape from Yumen Pass!

And the thin monkey was also struggling in his heart, whether to tell Zhen Guogong the truth, but in the end he chose to follow Lu Qi, because he saw the future in Lu Qi's body, and often fantasized that one day he could go into battle to kill the enemy, so he said: "The ghost army did appear in the desert, and we escaped from the place where the ghost army landed." ”

"That's the case!" Zhen Guogong clapped his palms after hearing this, and then he rubbed his palms, pacing back and forth, and muttered: "I knew that letting your kid out of the customs would definitely lead out the ghost army, and I also deliberately smeared osmanthus incense on you, but I didn't expect that in only half a year, the ghost army really couldn't hide and appeared." ”

It turned out that when the thin monkey asked why he had the fragrance of osmanthus on his body, it turned out to be the intention of Zhen Guogong, but he didn't know what the connection between the fragrance of osmanthus and the appearance of the ghost army? Why can the fragrance of osmanthus lead out the ghost army, Lu Qi didn't dare to ask, and said in his heart, this old fox may be hooked.

"Where is the ghost army now?" This commander is going to lead his troops to encircle and suppress the ghosts, who is willing to lead the way?" Zhen Guogong paused and asked again.

Lu Qi and the others naturally nodded again and again, indicating that they were willing to go.

"Lin Dong, immediately order 10,000 troops, and go with me tomorrow!"

Hearing that he was going to go on the expedition, Lin Dong suddenly came to his senses, immediately left the barracks, sounded the rallying horn, and set up the army to go on the expedition overnight.
