The majestic Dalingzi Mountain stands on the northeast border of the Daye Dynasty, like a natural barrier to protect the people on the border. At this moment, it is the end of the sixth month of the solar calendar, and the verdant mountains are full of vigorous vitality, showing its tenacious vitality to the world.

To the southwest of Hakusan Castle, the rolling hills are lush and green, and the leafy thousand-year-old trees rise into the sky, crisscrossing the sky with dense branches, forming a natural canopy at the top of the dense forest, and when you look down from above, you won't find anything.

In this deep mountain and dense forest, more than a dozen figures wearing grass-green power suits appeared, they went up the mountain for a while, went down the ditch for a while, and jumped to the top of the tree to check the surrounding environment.

The leader is tall and straight, and his deep and charming peach blossom eyes are flashing with calm and wise light at this time, and his whole body exudes a calm, restrained, and vertical and horizontal aura. At this time, he was cold and indifferent, his thin lips were cold, and his eyebrows were faintly calm and calm. This person is none other than Ren Xiaohang, who has just been appointed by the emperor as the general of the conquest.

During this trip, he was ordered to reconnoiter the terrain around Baishan City, find out the weak links of the Liao army, and provide detailed information for the attack on Baishan City.

In fact, before the second holy decree arrived, he had already reached a consensus with Lin Zhanjie. Lin Zhanjie ostensibly sent 20,000 troops, but promised him that when the battle started, he would be defeated and lead the Liao army out of Baishan City. He sent troops to ambush in advance, and the two of them flanked back and forth, so that the Liao army would not return.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the strategy for using troops was formulated, the emperor's second holy decree came, appointing Lin Zhanjie as the governor of the Chinese army, and he was the general of the conquest. Be sure to take White Mountain City as soon as possible.

In this way, they can only change their strategy and go straight to the attack. But. The two analyzed it and felt that the strong attack was one thing, but they had to make preparations on the other hand, waiting for the opportunity to destroy the logistics and supply of the Liao army, and cut off his backup, so as to completely eliminate it.

So, he temporarily transferred a few people. Follow him to survey the terrain and try to find a secret mountain path to the North Gate. The north city gate was the only way for the Liao army to transport supplies. If the transportation line of the Liao army is cut off, it is equivalent to blocking the retreat of the Liao army, then the Liao army in Baishan City is not to be afraid.

At that time, an ambush of the next army and horses outside the north city gate. The Liao army is really hard to fly.

This time it came out. Because Li Ziyu's father, Li Xiguang, had stayed in the mountains for a few years and was more familiar with the terrain than ordinary people, Ren Xiaohang took him with him.

At this time, Ren Xiaohang was standing under a lush hundred-year-old cypress tree, bowing his head and recording the reconnaissance terrain on a piece of paper. Shaoqing raised his head and said, "Step one, quickly go and investigate the mountain road that is closest to the north city gate as soon as possible." ”

"Yes, master!" Buyi promised to leave. was stopped by Li Xiguang on the side, "Wait・・・・・・"

Ren Xiaohang asked, "Captain Li." Do you have any suggestions? ”

A trace of hesitation flashed in Li Xiguang's Danfeng eyes, but he still said directly: "My subordinates know a secret passage that can lead to the valley five miles away from the North City Gate. If a surprise army is deployed there in the future, cutting off the retreat of the Liao army, and then bombarding with grenades, the Liao army will die without a place to be buried. ”

The valley Li Xiguang mentioned is a mountain cliff five miles away to the north of Baishan City, and after the cliff, the north is the endless prairie, which is also the territory of the Liao army.

It can be said that this cliff is the last barrier between the Daye Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom. Ren Changqing once arranged 2,000 soldiers and horses here, which was not only the outpost guarding the soldiers and horses of the Liao army, but also delivered news to Baishan City in time. It is another barrier, if the Liao army invades, it can temporarily resist for a while, and there is a buffer, which can give Baishan City a time to prepare.

Unexpectedly, when the Liao army came, as if they knew that there were ambushes there, they secretly sent 20,000 people to carry out a surprise attack, and secretly killed 2,000 soldiers and horses, and did not get any news from Baishan City. This is also the reason why Ren Changqing is passive. Later, I heard the soldiers who rescued him from the battlefield say that it turned out that there was a spy in the army, and it was Meng Qingwei, a son of the Meng family, who betrayed the intelligence in the army.

It's just that no one can prove all this in front of the emperor, because the people present, especially Ren Changqing, can't show up at this time. As the commander, the city was occupied by the Liao army, but the news that he was still alive could not be leaked.

Isn't the emperor general Jiming in Yidu City just waiting for the news that Ren Changqing is still alive? As long as he is alive and loses the city, then Ren Changqing will definitely die, and the Ren family will be uprooted naturally, and he will not be soft at all.

Others don't know, but the emperor knows that the Ren family already has a heart, and if it is not eradicated in time, the Jiang's family will one day be in the hands of the Ren family. He was sure of that.

When he heard from Long Wei that the Ren family secretly made weapons, he was so angry that he almost overturned the Long case. For so many years, he has devoted himself to cultivating the Ren family, but in exchange for taking away his general's family?

However, he couldn't move Ren's house for the time being, because it wasn't time yet. He wants to wait for an excellent opportunity to uproot the Ren family and eliminate the hatred in his heart.

Jiang Jiming sometimes wonders, is this the retribution he got for wronging Ouyang Jingde and promoting Ren Guozhong?

Now not only can't the Ren family be moved, but also give credit to the Ren family, who let himself give birth to a stupid son? Besieging the Ren family will not only startle the snake, but also be criticized for being nameless. Let the people of the world see that the Ren family has been loyal to the court for so many years, but they besieged the Ren family for no reason, doesn't this make the people of the world chill?

And at this moment, when Ren Xiaohang heard Li Xiguang's words, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he asked, "Captain Li, what you said is true?" Then let's take a look right away. ”

"Okay, I'll lead the way!" Li Xiguang said and walked in the head, and the group walked quickly along the rugged and winding mountain road to the northwest.

The cliff Li Xiguang mentioned is a double-sided cliff, with steep peaks on the east and west sides, and the only road leading to Baishan City in the middle. The road was not wide, with only two carriages passing through. I don't know how this road was mined in the first place, perhaps it was the ancestors of the Liao State who opened up this road in order to attack south and plunder resources.

Li Xiguang took everyone to come here through the mountains and mountains, this secret passage leads directly to the cliff in the west, and there are dense trees growing on it, on which more than 10,000 soldiers and horses can be ambushed. Moreover, from the top of the cliff, there is a sheep intestine trail that leads to the bottom of the cliff, which is simply the best ambush location.

Ren Xiaohang was very satisfied with this location, and admired Li Xiguang for finding such a secret passage. Although he was not very convinced by his former rhetoric when he joined the army. However, who made him Yu'er's father? No matter what Li Xiguang's purpose was for joining the army, he didn't care.

He looked at the majestic and towering city wall of Baishan City five miles away through the gap in the dense branches, although he couldn't see the figure on the city wall clearly, he knew that the soldiers of the Liao State who were guarding the battlement at this time must be the soldiers of the Liao State. As a member of the Daye Dynasty, as a soldier of the Daye Dynasty, this is the greatest shame. He vowed to make the Liao army pay the price, so that they would never dare to invade the Daye Dynasty again.

Ren Xiaohang carefully checked the surrounding terrain again, and said in a deep voice: "Go back!" (To be continued.) )
