Chapter 77: The Wind Rises at the End of Qingping

The three of Duanmu Xu followed the Golden Horde army from a distance all the way, and did not dare to get too close. When the Golden Horde passed by Qingliang Peak, the three of them thought they had guessed the enemy's destination. However, the Golden Horde soldiers immediately set off in the northwest direction, until they passed through Yuyuan Pond and headed towards Bowang Peak, Duanmu Xu and Pan Zihan glanced at each other, and they both instantly understood the true goal of the Golden Horde, and even remembered the earliest beginning of this matter.

It was in Youyi Xuan, when he was feasting with Fan Lu and others, Fan Lu once mentioned that in the Silver Buddha Temple of Qingliang Peak, he accidentally saw the scenery of the suspected green mound, and pointed out that its location was very likely to be in Bowang Peak. Duanmu Xu remembered that someone had eavesdropped outside the door at that time, and he looked back with Zhao Luojia.

Since Youyixuan is the spy of the Golden Horde Empire, all kinds of news to and from Huaishuo naturally can't escape their ears and eyes.

Although Duanmu Xu and the three of them knew the enemy's destination, they didn't know the reason why the enemy had moved thousands of miles. After seeing the enemy entering the valley one after another, the three of them could not make any moves, and could only continue to wait in the distance, because the shamans who remained outside were not something that the three of them could handle.

However, they soon discovered the anomaly, and the rain of arrows rushed directly to the shamans outside the valley, and then the dense army soon poured in from the east and west sides of the valley. The raid was swift, and the shaman's counterattack was sparse and quickly wiped out.

Pan Zihan looked at the flags fluttering in the distance, and his big head kept connecting the news of this period of time one by one, hoping to figure out why the army of the envoys of the Beiting Festival would appear here at this time. From Fan Lu to Tingzhou to ask for troops, but thousands of people went to rescue the princess, and what I heard from the mouth of Judge Liao was that the Lord Jiedu had already led troops out of the city. They always thought that the army of the Beiting Jiedu envoy was going south to rescue the city of Bingzhou, but they never thought that it was going north, and looking at this point in time, it must have been ambushed here for a long time.

Duanmu Xu was also thinking in his heart, he was thinking of Fan Lu. Because the news of this green mound, the news of Bo Wangfeng, came out of this mouth at the beginning, whether it was intentional or unintentional, he can't judge it for the time being. But recalling Fan Lu's reaction to the movements of the Golden Horde on Zhongnan Mountain, Duanmu Xu was inclined to suspect that this person had deliberately revealed the news at that time.

If Fan Lu deliberately revealed it, then it is very likely that he knew the true background of Youyixuan at that time. So where did Fan Lu find out? That little ginger head from Yixuan? That person should be from Wuchuan Military Town. Then Wuchuan Junzhen knew the ins and outs of the whole thing early on, no wonder he asked Xiao Jiangtou to send a letter to him before Huaishuo was lost.

So what is certain is that Su Sheng of Wuchuan Military Town has long known about it, and Uncle Huangfu has also known about it for a long time, otherwise it would never have been possible to inform himself through Xiao Jiangtou.

After thinking about it carefully, Duanmu Xu became more and more sure of his guess, the invasion of the Golden Horde was just stepping into a trap laid by Uncle Huangfu. Then the soldiers who died in Huaishuo Military Town, as well as the Daxian civilians who died under the iron hooves of the Golden Horde along the way, are just the objects that have been abandoned in this layout.

Thinking of this, Duanmu Xu's heart sank slightly. The lives of thousands of people are but the number in a plot of others. My own life, I don't know when I got up, it was already doomed in someone else's arrangement.

Pathetic, pitiful and powerless.

Duanmu Xu didn't want to be such a person, a person who couldn't control his fate. He was also secretly glad that Uncle Huangfu was the closest person to him, otherwise in this conspiracy layout, the life of a small recruit would have been harvested many times.

A small piece of news is a talisman for thousands of people. Some people's single thought can crush the lives of many people thousands of miles away, just like the slight tremor under those green weeds can cause a storm in the far distance.

Duanmu Xu, Pan Zihan and others stood still in the distance, and did not go out to find the Beiting army. Since he was outside the bureau from the beginning, he couldn't become an insider if he rashly mixed in at this time.

The night came as scheduled, and the night of this Bowang Peak seemed even more desolate.

The sparkling lights and the occasional chirping of horses break the silence of the wilderness a little. Who would have thought that this daytime would be a battle that shook the sky.

Thousands of soldiers died here, not even making a ripple in the silence of heaven and earth. The night was still so dark and so long.

Duanmuxu and the three of them were waiting, Pan Zihan occasionally put the wine bag to his mouth, and then picked it up and shook it, obviously the wine bag was almost bottoming out. He couldn't help muttering, "This wine really doesn't need to be drunk." ”

The night of Bowang Peak is long, and it is enough to make people descend from the mountains.

Su Sheng led the Wuchuan army to withdraw from the East Wangling and Xiwang Ridge, and walked along the Bowang Valley, constantly walking out of the valley.

The smell of burnt smoke in the valley was still strong, and the corpses of the Golden Horde were lying in twos and threes. Su Sheng did not order a cleanup, but continued to walk out of the valley. Although he won a great victory this time, he was unable to meet with the Lady of the Festival, and he did not know the entire battle situation.

Taoguang has been in obscurity for so long, and he has been fighting for so long, just for this decisive victory. If they don't win this time, it is not a big victory, and their entire Wuchuan military town, and even the Beiting army, may suffer from the thunderous wrath of the imperial court.

However, this big victory should completely reverse the trend in the court, Su Sheng thought in his heart.

The night was still dark, but Su Sheng's Wuchuan army finally came to the mouth of the valley and joined the Beiting army waiting outside the valley.

Su Sheng naturally reported to Zheng Kejian about the situation on the ridge, and the fire attack was very smooth, without giving the Golden Horde any chance to counterattack. Then he continued to report that next to Qingzuka, it was indeed as expected before, there was a master of cultivation, and according to the previous agreement, Su Sheng did not participate after ordering the archery to stop it.

Zheng Kejian asked, "Where did the last five go?"

Su Sheng replied, "The two people from the Golden Horde gradually gained the upper hand, and in the end it seemed that one of them was seriously injured, and then fled down the ridge. The other three also chased after them. ”

Looking at the steep cliff, Zheng Kejian thought that he didn't have such a ability to come down from above. "Those people are arranged by the Four Princes. We don't have to bother. After cleaning up the battlefield, you can go back. Zheng Kejian's tone did not have the joy of establishing immortal feats, but was faintly tired.

Su Sheng was overjoyed, thinking that this time would not only greatly damage the strength of the Huaishuo army, but more importantly, the upcoming heavy punishment of the imperial court. Since then, who in the thirteen towns of the border can compete with him. On the day when the four princes ascended the throne, their positions rose one more level, and the position of the Jiedu envoy could naturally sit down.

Zheng Kejian naturally saw Su Sheng's unconcealed joy, and thought to himself that he was not like this at the beginning, following under the command of Zhao Tianyin, killing enemies all the way, rising all the way, thinking about the glory of the ancestors. But later all kinds of changes made him lose this enthusiasm, but he was cautious step by step. It is easy to kill the enemy on the battlefield, but it is even more difficult to make a living in the officialdom, especially when facing the current saint.
