As soon as the sky brightened, the light rain stopped, and then formed a thick fog, submerging the mountains north of Youzhou in a white expanse. No one knew that there was a cavalry in this mountain that was lightly armed, and there was no garrison to defend it, and there were almost no people. The Sanggan River zigzags through the mountains and becomes a signpost for the direction.

Everyone knows that as long as you go southeast along the Sanggan River, you will definitely arrive at the destination of this trip, Youzhou.

Fanyang as the Jiedu envoy, set up a lot of military formations in the periphery, among which there are two along the Sanggan River, one is at the junction of Fuzhou and Youzhou, called Qingyi Army, and the other road is near the left of Da'an Mountain, named Zhuolu Army.

The original purpose of these two military formations was to guard against the invasion of the Turks, but later the Turks gradually lost their position in the steppe, and after the rise of the Uighurs, they became friendly with the Tang Dynasty everywhere. Therefore, these two military formations were gradually abandoned long before An Lushan rebelled. Later, due to the rebellion, the army marched to the south, which required more manpower, and almost all the troops that could be mobilized were thrown into the war in large quantities.

The Qingyi army and the Zhuolu army naturally existed in name only, but, despite this, this * along the Sanggan River through the mountains and mountains is still cautious, they have sent many scouts here, and learned that although the Qingyi army and the Zhuolu army exist in name, there are still outposts and beacons in the mountains, once the traces are found and the wolf smoke is lit, their whereabouts will be exposed.

In this battle, the march occupied most of the time, and everyone dismounted and walked at the steep southbound place, in order to cross the mountains as much as possible and reach Jimen in the north of Fanyang.

The reason why they chose a path full of dangers was because the Shi Thief rebels would never have expected that they would enter the Fanyang Realm from here.

Feng Changqing paused on the bank of the Sanggan River, picked up a handful of water in both hands, and splashed it on his face vigorously, the cold touch immediately made his mind clear, as if the pain and suffering of his body had weakened because of this. He frowned slightly, and gently faded away the subtle hint of pain.

"Report, the front is less than ten miles away from the Zhuolu Army outpost!"

"Very good, send a team of 100 people, take down the outpost, and make sure to stop them from igniting the beacon!"

The beacon is for warning purposes, usually piled up with wolf dung and firewood and grass, when the enemy attacked, the mixture of wolf dung and grass picking will be ignited, the so-called wolf smoke is from this. When the sky is good, as long as the wolf smoke is lit, even if it is dozens of miles away, it can be seen clearly.

A team of centaurs turned out of the Sanggan River valley, and it suddenly became clear in front of them, and there was an official road built by the soldiers leading straight to Fanyang. This is the end of Fanyang's official road, and Pingsuri is also the most lax.

Feng Changqing carefully surveyed the nearby terrain, in fact, he had already surveyed this road a few years ago, the reason why he had not used this road to disturb Fan Yang was because he didn't want the traitor to be vigilant too early, he wanted to use this road as a secret weapon at the most appropriate time. And now, the perfect time has come.

The hundred-man cavalry and horse team also cherished the foot strength of the war horses at this time, but how fast they galloped, and in the blink of an eye, a barrier dock had already appeared in front of them. The dock is tightly sandwiched with arm-thick logs, which looks more than a foot high, but after all, it is not as strong as the rammed earth.

To deal with such a low barrier, He Changcheng is in his chest, as is the case with the barrier city built by those Fan Hu foot imitators* in Anxi, and some of them have even caught up with small cities in terms of scale, but they can still be easily breached.

After a whistle, more than a dozen war horses suddenly exerted a sharp force, far ahead of the dock rushed, each rider hung a bundle of rope on his shoulder, the end of the rope is a steel made of nine claws, shaking the rope to throw it out, in the blink of an eye, it hooked the dock of the wooden wall, one end of the rope was tied to the war horse, the rider urged the horse to turn around and slowly exert force. Under the combined action of hundreds of war horses, even the wrist-thick log wall began to shake.

With the neighing of war horses one after another, finally a walled wall could not bear it and fell down. It was only at this time that the soldiers inside were alert, and several weak arrows shot out sparsely, which did not hurt the centaur team at all.

The rain of arrows returned, and the horse team rushed to the gap in Dock City. The soldiers inside did not have the slightest strength to fight back, and after a few weak arrows were shot, there was no movement, and the cavalry and horses rushed in and slashed, and in just a quarter of an hour, they completely controlled the barrier.

However, He Chang's eyes were still blood-red, because no matter how fast their movements were and how perfect their tactics were, the wolf smoke in the barrier city was still lit, and a pillar of smoke rose into the sky. After extinguishing the wolf dung and firewood and grass piles, He Chang could only pray secretly that the thieves rebels could not find the wolf smoke warning because of this bad weather.

From here to the southeast, until Fanyang, there will be a barrier city with beacons every ten miles. They must destroy all the barriers and beacons in their path.

"Keep your mouth alive!"

Although He Chang hated these traitors, he still ordered to stay alive in order to copy the available information.

The first person to be interrogated was a Hu man, who was chattering in Turkic dialect and his attitude was extremely unsuitable, He Chang almost didn't bother to rap with him, and directly ordered someone to push him out and cut off his head. In this way, three people were beheaded in a row, and when it was the turn of the fourth captive, the captive was already frightened and lost half of his souls, and he knelt on the ground, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and begged for mercy with tears in his eyes.

He Chang asked coldly:

"From here to Fanyang, how much is the troop arrangement? If you answer correctly, you can look pale, and if you answer wrong, go to the bottom with them as a companion!"

"The villain said, the villain must say everything he knows!"

This captive is a Han man, he doesn't even have any backbone, his servile face and knees are disgusting, and He Changzi doesn't have a good face to treat him.

"Say!"

"We don't have any garrisons in these military formations, there were originally 10,000 horses in *, but seven days ago, I don't know why, they were all transferred, even our small barrier city, originally had 500 people to guard, and now it has been transferred less than one...... Otherwise, how could it be so easily broken by the general?"

He Chang remained silent, waved his hand and ordered people to press down the welfare road of this servile woman, and then concocted a series of interrogations of more than a dozen people, and the final result was not much different from it, which confirmed that the news should be true.

The herald sent the news to the Sanggan River Valley, and soon Feng Changqing and his brigade rushed here. After the rendezvous, Feng Changqing listened to He Chang's report expressionlessly, and based on the information sent by Lu Qi from Taiyuan, many defenders in southern Hebei also had abnormal northward transfers, so it became more and more certain that Fan Yang must have happened. As a result, the Shi Thief rebels could no longer care about the defensive posture of the outside, and concentrated a large number of soldiers and horses on Fan Yang.

Feng Changqing looked up at the wolf smoke that had not completely dissipated, he was not too worried, today's fog, even if there was wolf smoke, it would be covered by the fog, and it would be difficult to identify it ten miles away. The only thing that worries is the reality of the garrison in the north of Fanyang.

"It seems that the doctor's prediction is good, there must be something wrong in the rebels, maybe someone is taking the opportunity to launch a mutiny, there is already a pot of porridge in Fanyang City, such a great opportunity, we must not miss it!"

Feng Changqing's tone was still calm and slow.

"Our strength is only more than a thousand people, which is not enough to influence the situation of the war, all we can do is to be the vanguard to detect the situation inside the rebels, and then let the Shenwu army advance in a big way and completely destroy them!"

He Chang hated and slammed his fist on the wooden pier, causing the dust on it to fall with a flutter.

"How unfair the court is to the doctor! And that Qin Jin, the doctor was blind to this son at the beginning!"

Everyone has long known the purpose of Hedong Jiedu to make Lu Qi, and they have accepted this result, but this does not mean that they will not complain.

"The imperial court, its own difficulties of the imperial court, once it comes to the society and the world, there is no personal relationship to talk about, as for Qin Jin, Feng did not misunderstand him, the Shenwu army was invincible and swept the rebellion...... I didn't expect ......"

At this point, Feng Changqing suddenly paused, his face was faintly flushed, and suddenly he spit out half a mouthful of blood with a wow.

He Chang hurriedly stepped forward to cover Feng Changqing, and said with concern:

"Doctor's body, this, this is the third time......"

When he spoke, he was a little choked. He Chang is Feng Changqing's old subordinate, and he has been following him from Anxi for more than ten years, and he has already formed a deep friendship. Seeing that Feng Changqing's illness was getting worse day by day, He Chang's mood was really contradictory, on the one hand, as Feng Changqing's old subordinate, he knew very well what Feng Changqing wanted, and there was no more suitable result for him to die on the battlefield against the enemy in front of him. However, on the other hand, how could he bear to watch Feng Changqing go to death step by step?

With a cavalry and horse team of 1,000 people, they went deep into the Longtan tiger's den like Fan Yang, and the result was tantamount to nine deaths. After several years of big waves and sands, those who can stay have long been determined to die, so they resolutely follow and die.

Wiping the blood stains from the corners of his mouth, the pain in Feng Changqing's expression was quickly hidden, and then he said flatly:

"Before dark, we must hurry*, kill all the captives, and hit the road!"

This sentence is an understatement, but He Chang was taken aback, Feng Changqing rarely had a military order to kill all the prisoners, and now that I think about it, it may be an extraordinary period, and I have to do it in order to keep the news secret.

In an instant, more than a dozen captives were splattered with blood on the spot, their heads fell to the ground, and the cavalry and horses disappeared, hidden in the thick fog.
