For three days, the two sides were fine. On this day, Kang Yan suddenly invited all the commanders of the guards to visit the Baiyu Cave with the above generals to celebrate the victory a few days ago.

The white jade cave is located in the mountains of Dalian city of more than ten miles north of the north and south of the town, and is named because the stalactites in the cave are crystal clear and white like jade. The white jade cave overlaps three layers, also known as the three cave heavens, which are the first cave heaven, the second cave heaven and the third cave heaven. The space in the cave is vast, can accommodate thousands of people, there are holes in the holes, there are holes in the holes, there are holes under the holes, the holes are connected, the holes are stacked on top of each other more like a huge labyrinth, and the holes can not be lit in the belly of the mountain, the caves are extremely dark, in such a dark world, it is difficult for ordinary people to find their way out. Even the locals rarely dare to go deep into the depths of the cave, for fear of getting lost and the endless darkness, and maybe a demon will suddenly emerge from the dark side and devour the person who enters the cave.

A group of dozens of people walked up the stairs along the road, and from time to time in the dense forest, there were agile and agile apes that flashed away in the underworld, leaving bursts of chirping sounds.

The mountain is not high, and after a short time, you come to the outside of the cave. At the entrance of the cave, some of the thorns that originally grew outside the cave have been cut down, and dozens of sergeants are guarding outside the cave. At the foot of the mountain, a thousand households were also mobilized to be responsible for guarding and preventing irrelevant people from approaching. This is necessary, although Zhennan Pass has now been taken back by us, and the army of Annamite has been driven out of the country, but the Annam people have occupied Zhennan Pass for several months, and no one dares to guarantee that there are no remnants of their forces lurking nearby. And this gathering, all of them are the highest level of the battle of Pingnan, if the remnants of the Annan people learn the news, they only need a sneak attack that does not require too much capital to disintegrate this war, it is very simple to catch turtles in the urn, and they don't even need to come in to catch them, hold the entrance of the cave and light the fire source directly outside the cave, no matter how big the white jade cave is, it will always be filled with smoke, they can solve us all without blood, once the army is leaderless, the failure is already doomed.

Soldiers have also been reorganized in the cave, and countless huge candles stretch out into the depths of the cave.

Following the candlelight, the group followed Kang Yan to the depths of the cave. It's a hot summer, but the cave is extremely cool, and it is really a rare place to escape the heat.

Along the way, all the eyes are the stone pillars hanging on the top of the cave, as if the stalagmites growing on the ground, these stalagmites, stone pillars are in a thousand forms, none of them are the same, some of them are strange and strange like a group of demons dancing, and some are like poetry and fantasy and beautiful. And the colors are even more dazzling, what milky white, silver white, brown yellow, emerald green...... It seems that all the colors of the world outside the cave can be seen on those strange rocks. With the beating of the candlelight, the crystal stone pillars and stalagmites also appear in layers of rippled colors.

"What a pair of brilliant lights, being in this place is like a fairyland on earth, empty and ethereal!" Kang Yan was the first to praise it.

The rest of the people also nodded their heads, and kept sighing at such a beautiful scenery in the world.

Wu Ruilin said on the side: "This white jade cave is divided into three layers, and there are holes in the holes and different holes, I believe it will make everyone feel that it is worth this time." ”

Kang Yan said: "Zhong Lingyu is beautiful, with clear water and green mountains. With General Wu, you can be called an outstanding person! ”

Wu Ruilin even said that he didn't dare: "The junior general has no way to command the army, and the Annan people occupy land and kill the people, the crime is very great, and the general is magnanimous. ”

Kang Yan said: "Cao Cao unified Hebei and won the Central Plains, there was the defeat of Chibi, Zhuge Liang had no strategy and the loss of the street pavilion, and the first emperor of the ancient Tang Taizong was also at a loss in Goryeo in his later years. General Wu's small setback in Nanguan is not enough to worry about, but you must be ashamed and brave! ”

"Yes!" Wu Ruilin was convinced, and said: "According to the Materia Medica, the stalactites are full of qi and disease, which makes the yang qi overflowing, the diet is doubled, and the body is strong. It's a man's treasure! ”

Everyone laughed, Luo Rou was very knowledgeable, so she naturally knew what these words meant, and she couldn't help but blush her cheeks and bow her head silently.

Kang Yan smiled and said: "Actually, the function of stalactites is not only this, the theory of medicinal properties, Rihuazi Materia Medica, Yilin Compendium and other medical holy texts all mention the use of stalactites in medicine, which has a good effect on rotten wounds and blood stasis, five labors and seven injuries and other diseases." ”

Everyone nodded and continued to walk.

The cave is not inaccessible, although the soldiers have cleaned it urgently, it is still difficult to walk, and the cave is damp and the ground is muddy. Fortunately, everyone is a soldier, not those powerless palace scholars and the like, who are used to fighting on the battlefield, and this bit of bump is not taken into account.

Since entering the cave, I took Luo Rou's hand and walked slowly behind everyone, enjoying the beautiful scenery in the cave.

"Perhaps, when we're free that day, let's come here alone, okay?" I looked at Luo Rou and whispered.

Luo Rou took my hand with a smile on her face and asked, "Really?" ”

"Of course, we'll come when we have time, just two of us!" I promise.

Luo Rou emotionally put her head into my arms, her hands stretched out from under my armpits and hugged me tightly, her face was full of joy. Fortunately, the team has already walked through the first few holes, and only me and Luo Rou are left and right, otherwise people will not be laughed at when they see two big men hugging each other (among these people, only Kang Yan knows that Luo Rou is a woman).

I don't say anything touching about love, Luo Rou, as a girl, won't say anything embarrassing, we just hug each other.

After a while, Luo Rou let go of me, straightened her hair in a bit of a panic and said, "It's time for us to go, they've all gone far away!" ”

Indeed, I can barely hear them anymore.

The space inside the cave is like a huge labyrinth, if it weren't for the giant candles like lighthouses, I'm afraid Luo Rou and I wouldn't be able to catch up with them.

He quickened his pace, followed the path indicated by the Great Candle, and in a short time caught up with the brigade.

Talking all the way, it didn't take long to arrive at a huge cave, the cave has a radius of more than 20 zhang, enough to accommodate a thousand people. Dozens of giant candles illuminate the cave as bright as day, the cave has been lightly renovated, and four round tables have been placed with delicious food and wine, and several girls in their twenties are still preparing the rest of the dishes.

"Come, everyone don't be formal, let's all sit down!" Kang Yan waved his hand to let everyone sit down.

After Kang Yan sat down, everyone took their seats.

I sat at the same table with Luo Rou and Kang Yan, Kang Yan and Jiang Song sat at the top, Zheng Haoliang, Wu Ruilin, Duan Yonggang, and the commander of the Shenji Battalion, and Luo Rou and I were at the end.

The commander of this Shenji battalion has been stationed in the capital all the year round, and has always been only controlled by the Son of Heaven, so they have developed a sense of superiority of "under one person and above ten thousand", and look down on the defenders in these places. Their command is even more high-flying and domineering to the extreme, and even Kang Yan, who has such names as Zuo Shilang of the Military Department, Pingnan Chief Military Officer, and General Zhengyi, does not pay much attention to him, let alone talk about others.

After thirty years of drinking, everyone talked about yesterday's war, and after a while, the topic turned to the future war.

Jiang Song said: "Recently, there has been news from many states that the Li father and son are mobilizing most of the domestic troops to go to many states. The army of the Annamites of Dobang now numbered 120,000 and was growing. ”

Although our army has an advantage in strength, before the recovery of Zhennan Pass, our army must put heavy troops on the Chongzuo line for hundreds of miles to defend the whole line, so as to prevent the Annan people from penetrating deep into the hinterland of our country. In this way, our army cannot concentrate its forces, and although its overall strength exceeds that of the other side, the defense line is too long to concentrate its forces, and it will never be able to form an effective superiority in troops. Now after recovering Zhennanguan, our army will keep the Annan people out of the country, Zhennanguan is the place where the Annan people must pass through the north, as long as they hold this place, they can be safeguarded without worry, these days Kang Yan will also be scattered on hundreds of miles of front for defensive deployment of most of the troops have been mobilized to Zhennan Pass, and now the strength of Zhennanguan has reached 90,000. It was thought that after the Annamite people were heavily defeated, their troops were greatly reduced, and there were only more than 30,000 remnants left on the front line of Duobang at most. In this way, our army has 90,000 victorious soldiers to attack 30,000 remnants, and as long as we put a little effort into it, victory can be expected. But I didn't expect that the enemy army had 120,000 people, and the strength was already above our army.

Kang Yan knew this information, and when he heard Jiang Song's words, he didn't show a nervous, worried, or scared look.

The rest of the people are different, when they hear the news, they almost immediately explode, some say that the information is not true, some say that they should apply for a delay in the army, and some people actually want to talk about peace.

Huo Yan glanced at everyone, and said loudly: "The general doesn't need to worry, just 120,000 is nothing, my cannon will be bombarded, and all of them will be turned into powder!" ”

Kang Yan smiled and said, "Everyone has witnessed the power of the cannon under the command of fire, it goes without saying!" ”

Huo Yan immediately looked at everyone triumphantly, with a provocative face, as if the victory was completed by him alone.

Among these people, except for Kang Yan, it is estimated that only Duan Yonggang dares not to sell his face, one is the Royal Forest Army, and the other is a steel division built by the imperial court with a lot of money.

Duan Yonggang said: "Yes, the artillery is extremely powerful, the fire commander is brave and fearless, the two complement each other, it is better to let the fire commander lead the brothers of the Shenji Battalion to sweep the south of Ping'an." ”

Of course, Huo Yan heard the ridicule in Duan Yonggang's words, and his yellow face turned blue in an instant.

Naturally, others also heard that Duan Yonggang was squeezing the fire, but knowing that the fire was powerful, everyone didn't dare to follow the coaxing, so they had to hide their anger and secretly have fun. Huo Yanmu's personality made him offend almost all of his colleagues, and everyone didn't have a good impression of him.

"Humph! There is a kind of next time there is a war, you don't want my firearms to support you! "The fire hates the way.

Duan Yonggang was not afraid: "Don't want it, don't want it, what's so rare, what's the use of coming if a meal doesn't go off......"

Duan Yonggang obviously had something even more ugly, and in order to ensure internal unity, Kang Yan hurriedly stopped his words and diverted the topic.
