The next morning, Deputy General Li Yongcheng hurried to the hall of the Qingzuka City County Government, and Zhu Baolin was sitting on the large seat of the county order to read the information submitted by the spies. 35xs

Seeing Li Yongcheng's uneasy look, Zhu Baolin couldn't help but wonder: "Something happened, it made your face change." ”

Li Yongcheng said with a solemn face: "My lord, the soldiers and horses of Shicheng Kingdom disappeared overnight. ”

"What?" Zhu Baolin was really stunned, almost thinking that he had heard it wrong, he frowned and said, "You mean, the three thousand soldiers and horses are gone?"

Li Yongcheng nodded heavily and said: "Yes, although the lord ordered not to take care of them, but the last general still sent people to observe their movements every day, and it was the same last night, three thousand soldiers and horses were encamped, and there was no abnormal phenomenon, but when I sent people to go there this morning, I found that there were already people going to the camp, and only one stove pit remained." The last general didn't believe it at first, but he personally rushed over and found that the person was really missing!"

Zhu Baolin slapped on the table, and snorted heavily: "It's really stupid, greed for life and fear of death is a common problem for these gentlemen, and the royal family is no exception, but I didn't expect that this King of Shicheng is not only greedy for life and afraid of death, but also stupid and ridiculous, he has a warrant from Lord Yuan in his hand, and the general has no intention of letting him go to the front, he is very safe in the back, don't you know if you run away so suddenly?"

Li Yongcheng also nodded again and again: "Yes, the last general also thinks the same, I always feel that this matter is a little strange, after all, the war has not started yet, why is he in such a hurry to slip away?"

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something, took out a letter from his bosom and handed it over, "This is a letter tied to the flagpole of the camp of the King of Stone City, with the words "Enlightened by the Lord himself" written on it. ”

Zhu Baolin took the envelope with a cold face, took out the letter paper with a disdainful look and glanced at it, it didn't matter, but his calm face suddenly changed, and he slapped his palm on the table again, and said angrily: "Ridiculous, it's simply ridiculous!"

Li Yongcheng was puzzled: "My lord, why are you ridiculous?"

Zhu Baolin took a deep breath and suppressed his anger, he did not answer Li Yongcheng's words, but asked coldly: "Was there any movement on the mountain last night?"

Li Yongcheng replied: "According to the information received, there is no abnormal movement. FlashDance 35xs"

"There is no abnormal movement?" Zhu Baolin sneered, threw the letter and said, "Then take a good look at what is written on it!"

After Li Yongcheng finished reading it, he exclaimed, "What, the king of Shicheng actually led his army to Xuzhou......!

Zhu Baolin sat back on the wooden chair and said solemnly: "I think there is a possibility. ”

Li Yongcheng said puzzledly: "What do adults mean ......"

Zhu Baolin said in a deep voice: "No matter how stupid the King of Shicheng is, he will not make up a lie that is so easy to be exposed, three thousand soldiers and horses retreat, no matter what road they take, the surrounding townships and counties will definitely hear the movement, and the matter will reach His Majesty's ears, this escape is a capital crime, and the King of Shicheng will not take this risk! And if there is no movement around, then it is impossible for them to retreat, and they can only enter the territory of Xuzhou through the mountains outside the city!"

"However, it is impossible to avoid our eyes and ears if we want to climb over the mountains. Li Yongcheng questioned.

Zhu Baolin said lightly: "The mountains stretch for hundreds of miles, the terrain is complicated, and there are many trails that only a few locals know, I think they have found this kind of road to pass." ”

Li Yongcheng scratched his head, and suddenly understood: "King Shicheng transferred 3,000 soldiers and horses to Xuzhou, should he want to surprise attack the Yizhou army?"

"Surprise attack on the Yizhou army?" Zhu Baolin sneered, "There are about 3,000 soldiers and horses in each of the three counties, and they echo each other from afar, wouldn't it be ...... to attack with an egg" Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly opened a letter he had just read, and frowned fiercely, "Could this guy know that Gu Shaofeng is not in the city and want to attack him halfway?"

Li Yongcheng was shocked when he heard this: "What, sneak attack on Gu Shaofeng? The soldiers and horses accompanying Gu Shaofeng are all the Gu family's own soldiers, and the number must be more than 3,000 people, and they are more brave and good at fighting than ordinary soldiers." 35xs”

Zhu Baolin also nodded and said: "Yes, three thousand soldiers and horses want to take Gu Shaofeng's head, but I am afraid that the chance of victory is slim, it is more dangerous than attacking the three counties, if this Shicheng King wants to use this dangerous chess to become famous, I am afraid that it will lose his head!"

Li Yongcheng swallowed his saliva and said, "My lord, then should we help? ”

Zhu Baolin snorted heavily, and said majestically: "Then do you think that Ben will give up Qingzuka City in order to save a prince? Good Shicheng King, I didn't expect to make trouble for Ben General, so let's do it, you select a hundred elite soldiers, and immediately go to Xuzhou to spy on Gu Shaofeng's movements, and if there is any change, immediately fly the pigeon and pass the book back!"

Li Yongcheng nodded, bowed out, walked out of the lobby, and sighed, although he disdained the greed for life and fear of death of the King of Shicheng, but compared to those arrogant gentlemen, this kind King of Shicheng was still a little pleasing to the eye.

Three days later, the Thorn Valley ten miles away in Jingui County ushered in Gu Shaofeng's army.

Similar to what Fang Ling expected, Gu Shaofeng's men and horses were about 6,000 people, these were the Gu family's personal guards, and their combat effectiveness was higher than that of other subordinate armies, each of which was carefully selected by the Gu family, and many of them were also related to the Gu family, thus forming a very solid battle group.

The army formed a long line in the Valley of Thorns, and Gu Shaofeng was right in the middle of the line.

Forty-year-old Gu Shaofeng rode on a tall horse, wearing crimson armor, and his square face raised his sword eyebrows, which could be described as full of spirit.

He has been familiar with military books since he was a child, and he has been known as a trickster at a young age, and with the halo of his fathers, he became the general of the north at the age of thirty-five, which can be described as a collection of favors.

At the same time, his own cultivation is also good, he inherited a famous family, cultivated a small divine canon, and reached the realm of melting qi at the age of thirty, and now he has entered a stable period, and he can also be called a bright person in the martial arts.

At the beginning of the Eight Kings Rebellion, Gu Shaofeng led tens of thousands of troops all the way to conquer the city and plundered the land, and now he has received the heavy task of capturing Qingzuka City.

On his left and right, he is the top ten masters in the Gu family's personal guards, and they are also Gu Shaofeng's personal guards, they are all about thirty-five or sixteen years old, and their cultivation is at least in the stable period of the Melting Qi Realm, and three of them are even better at the peak realm, these guards are all personally selected by Gu Shaofeng's father, and they have been sent to the gate sect to learn martial arts since they were young, and they are all very skilled.

It is a hundred miles from Qin'an County to Jingui County, and because it is an official road, it is very safe all the way, even in the Valley of Thorns.

As the name suggests, the Thorn Valley has a dense thorn forest growing in the whole valley, which was originally a dangerous land, but later after the founding of the Chu State, the Thorn Valley was opened up into a wide official road, and only a dense thorn land remained at the edge of the avenue.

This is the only place where Qin'an County leads to the three counties of Jingui, the slope of the valley is very low, so it can't hide too many people and horses, the only thing that can be hidden is the remnants of the thorns on both sides, but each thorn has dense sharp barbs, if anyone drills into it, the whole body can cut a hole, and no one will hide in it.

Gu Shaofeng's army entered the valley in a mighty way, heading towards the exit, no one found the abnormality around, the entire Xuzhou has been captured, and there are troops of Yizhou everywhere, who dares to risk the idea of fighting the general of the valley?

What's more, even if a thief really dares to come, six thousand people can easily settle each other, so the group seems to be relaxed.

It's just that in these thorny jungles, there are already 3,000 people and horses of the Stone City Country!

Everyone was hidden in the thorns, and before the war started, many wounds had been cut out by the thorns of the thorns, and there were a large number of ants and insects in the thorn forest, which were painful and itchy under the bite, but all the people gritted their teeth and remained motionless, as if there was no life, only a pair of eyes stared at the passing Yizhou army, waiting for the moment of murder.

The Shiguo Chengguo army was divided into three groups, with more than 1,000 people hidden on the left and right sides of the valley, and their strong will and perfect camouflage kept them from revealing the slightest flaw, while Fang Ling guarded the exit of the valley with a divine crossbow camp.

The range of the Tiangong Divine Crossbow is about 800 zhang, this distance is not short, it is not long, in the autumn season when the visibility is relatively high, and the valley is very flat, ordinary people can see things 3,000 zhang away, and those who cultivate to a high level can see farther.

So if a group of people are blocking the door, they can find out before they get close, hiding is inevitable.

On the slope, Zhang Jiyuan hid on it with a small number of county soldiers, and used gestures to quietly convey information to Fang Ling and others.

When the end of the army entered the valley, the front troops of the army were less than a thousand feet away from the exit, Fang Ling shouted, and a hundred guards suddenly rushed in from outside the valley, and the thirty people in the front row were on one knee with bows and crossbows, and without saying a word, one crossbow arrow roared and shot away.

The sudden appearance of the enemy surprised the soldiers in front of the army, but everyone didn't pay attention to it when they saw that they were shooting crossbows, everyone knew that the distance of shooting crossbows was only more than three hundred zhang, and the strength was extremely small, even the rattan armor was not enough to shoot through, plus there were only a hundred good people, not only did everyone not hide, but also did not even have the intention of charging, but the general of the forward raised his big hand, and a row of archers quickly lined up in front.
