Every official of Xu Miao has outstanding political achievements, which is inseparable from his ability to understand the people's feelings and inspect local customs.

It is precisely because of this that he was too punctual in Longxi and Nan'an, and knew some old things: from Didao Jinghan, you can cross the river to Xiping, and then cross the Qilian Mountain Pass from Xiping, and you can go directly to Zhangye.

This road has not been accessible for a long time because of the rebellion of the Hu people.

And now that the Hu people in the West Sea are in dispute, who dares to guarantee that no Shu people are involved?

After all, with Feng Wenhe's reputation among the Hu people......

Thinking of Zhang Ye behind Wu Wei, the possibility of a Shu army suddenly appearing, everyone was silent.

No one dares to take this responsibility.

What's more, his eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

While Xu Miao sent troops to Xiping, he also urgently mobilized the troops of the three counties of Zhangye, Jiuquan, and Dunhuang in the rear to prevent unpreparedness.

Feng Yong, who was walking in the mountains of Nanshan in Jincheng, suddenly tilted his head and took a deep breath.

Then he sneezed several times with "ahh

"One thought, two scolding, three colds, I have a cold?"

Feng Yong tightened the clothes on his body, not feeling anything uncomfortable.

Walking in the mountains, it is shady and comfortable, except that it is a little tired.

He looked ahead, but saw that the green mountains were green, the clouds were piling up, and from time to time there was the sound of apes and beasts.

The view is really nice.

In addition, the mountains do not know how long the sun and the moon are, so you don't have to endure the heat like outside, and if you change your usual life, it is also a good place for vacation.

It's just that he didn't come to see the scenery on this trip, and these days he looks up with mountains and mountains, mountains and mountains.

It made Feng Yong's heart start to be a little irritable and dull.

He couldn't help but shout: "Li Jian! ”

"What does the prince command?"

Li Jian, who was dressed in simple clothes, quickly trotted up.

I saw that he had already changed out of the wide robe that symbolized that only high-class people could wear, and followed Feng Yongjunzhong's example, tying up his leggings and tightening his sleeves to prevent poison and mosquitoes.

"How far ahead?"

"It's coming, it's coming!"

Li Jian hurriedly said.

Feng Yong squinted at Li Jian.

This sounds familiar to me, young man.

Back then, when I participated in the wild excursions of travel friends, the leader often said, "It's almost fast".

I lied to me that I would be there after the first bend, but he didn't tell me that it would take a day.

Fortunately, Li Jian did not have the vices of the leader of the donkey friends in his previous life.

Although he hadn't walked this road, the Longyou Li family sent two experienced old men.

Li Jian's most important job was to transfer everything that the family guide knew about this road to Feng Junhou in its original form.

It is enough for the grandson of the Li family to appear in front of Feng Junhou alone, and the other people in the home visit are forgotten.

The dark night camp that was exploring the road ahead soon spread the news, and after passing this valley, they arrived at the water flow that the Li family's guide said, and by following this water, you could reach the big river.

"It's good to be there!"

When Feng Yong heard this, he was overjoyed.

When you reach this river, it means that you have crossed this mountain range and walked along the river valley, so it is much easier to walk.

Knowing that he was about to arrive at the first destination, Zhang Wei caught up from behind, "Junhou, why don't you rest for a while first?" The mountain road is difficult to walk, the Modao team moves forward with heavy loads, and the soldiers are easy to get tired. ”

Although there are guides and old roads to climb the mountain this time, and there are troops in front of them opening the way, it is not the same flat land after all.

Even if the army is all rolled up in armor, the Modao team is still extremely burdened.

This trip brought 500 auxiliaries, 300 of whom were allocated to the Modao team and 200 to the Hubu army.

The Night Battalion and the Wudang Battalion were all self-reliant, without a single auxiliary.

The only thing that is special is Feng Yong's personal guards, and there are more than a dozen Dian horses who are good at walking mountain roads.

Feng Yong looked at Zhang Wei with doubts in his eyes: Since it's almost here, why not go all out and do it?

Zhang Wei understood Feng Yong's eyes, and could only hear him whisper: "Junhou, it is not only a place to rest, but also a direct access to the big river, which means that Cao Thief can also easily go up the river." ”

"So why don't you let the soldiers rest first and recover their strength, so that the night camp will have time to investigate there?"

Feng Yong was startled and nodded, "Reasonable." ”

Although the Li family released the third generation of grandchildren to follow them on this trip, they must make the most complete preparations, but everything is careful and must live for a long time.

After ordering the whole army to rest in place, Feng Yong found a place to sit down, and at the same time sighed in his heart.

At this time, he is a bit like Deng Ai who smuggled through Yinping, but he is still walking in a place with a guide, and who knows that it is still so difficult.

I don't know how Deng Ai, who led people to walk in the Yinping no man's land, let the soldiers follow him without a guide and no road.

He was thinking in his heart when someone handed over a leather bag: "Mountain chief, please drink water." ”

It was Zhang Yuan, a staff officer of the General Staff.

Feng Yong took a look at the skin bag and made sure that it was his own special water bladder, so he opened it and took a sip.

"Muzhi, a few days ago, with Chief of Staff Gongsun, did you gain anything?"

Feng Junhou is very concerned about the growth of this student.

"Go back to the mountain, there is a harvest!"

Zhang Yuan hurriedly stood up and replied.

"Sit, sit." Feng Yong stretched out his hand and pressed it, motioning for him to sit beside him, "Tell me, what have you learned?" ”

Zhang Yuan sat beside Feng Yong in an orderly manner, his body stretched straight: "Mr. Gongsun said that you should study more when you are fine." ”

"When making a battle plan, think of yourself as a thief, so that you can think as much as possible that the thief will use a way to deal with us."

Feng Yong laughed happily when he heard these words.

Zhang Yuan looked at Feng Yong a little nervously, not knowing where he had said something wrong.

Feng Yong patted him on the shoulder and encouraged: "Mr. Gongsun is right, I should ask him more for advice when I go back." ”

Gongsun Zheng didn't come over this time, and stayed in Pingxiang to help deal with affairs.

"Also, I have a copy of thirty-six plans to give to you, and when I return to Pingxiang after this battle, you remember to remind me, lest I forget."

When Zhang Yuan heard this, he stood up suddenly, his face flushed with excitement, "Student understands!" ”

It has long been rumored in Nanxiang School that the mountain chief has an extraordinary background, and what is taught in the school now is just the most basic knowledge in the mountain chief's school.

Only by becoming a student of the mountain chief can you have the opportunity to learn more advanced knowledge.

Can't do it...... Are you really like those biographical characters who encountered legendary adventures?

Thinking of this, Zhang Yuan only felt that the blood was surging upwards one by one, and he could even hear the sound of his chest beating.

Even in the shade of the mountain forest, he still felt that his body was full of heat, and the heat even flowed to his fingertips, making him feel a little hot.

Feng Junhou didn't understand what this young man was excited about, and waved his hand, "Go, bring me the map." ”

Zhang Yuan answered, and hurriedly turned around to get the map.

Spreading out the map, Feng Yong took the pen handed over by Zhang Yuan, sketched some things on it, and filled in the blank space above.

His gaze involuntarily fell on the southern silk road from Didao to Zhangye, drawing a circle in the blank area in the north of Xiping County.

It is the Qilian Mountains, and it is also an area controlled by Qianghu.

Feng Yong secretly regretted in his heart: if the strength of the Han Dynasty is enough now, he directly leads the army to enter Hexi, and then directly inserts Zhangye, it may not be impossible to decide Liangzhou in a battle.

After thinking about it for a while, he put away the map, handed it to Zhang Yuan, and waited for the news ahead with peace of mind.

The facts showed that although it was a good thing to be careful, this time Feng Yong and the others seemed to be a little too cautious: there was news from the Dark Night Camp, and there were no suspicious signs nearby.

When you reach this river, you have crossed the most difficult part of the mountain range.

Although Wei Jun did not appear, Feng Yong did not relax, but became more cautious.

Leading the army through the mountains was more difficult than expected, and more importantly, it was very likely that he had lost touch with Wei Yan's side.

According to the time calculation, Wei Yan should have begun to attack the city, but he was still staggering in the mountains.

The search range of the Dark Night Battalion was ten miles ahead, and after it was determined that it was safe, the army continued to follow, which also led to a relatively slow march.

The slowness of the march paid off, and the army was safe and unambushed.

This continued until the time when it was time to get out of the pass.

According to Li Jian, the mountain pass is the most dangerous place.

"Junhou, there is a Wei army guarding outside the mountain pass."

Feng Yong's spirits perked up and he looked at the captain of the Dark Night Battalion, "How many people are there?" ”

The more troops the other side has, the better, as long as they hold back the enemy coming from the direction of Jincheng and Liangzhou, they will be considered to have completed the task.

In addition, when he led the troops out of Longxi, there was a lot of fanfare, and the movement was not small, it seems that the guards of Hexi have already notified Jincheng.

Anyway, in this mountain, it is easy to set up more flags and beat more snare drums, which can easily cause bluff troops.

Therefore, the other side will not dare to attack easily until he finds out his true strength.

What's more, their own night camp and Wudang camp have an advantage over each other in the mountains and forests.

"There is only a small camp, depending on the scale, there may be two or three hundred people, or only about a hundred people, it seems that there are not many people."

The captain of the Dark Night Battalion was also puzzled, as if he didn't understand why the Wei army had only deployed such a small number of troops in such a dangerous place.

Feng Yong almost choked.

His eyes widened, "Two or three hundred? Are you sure? Could it be an ambush? ”

Encountering this situation, Feng Yong subconsciously felt cheating.

The old man made such a big move in Hedong, as long as he was not blind, he could see it, how could Jincheng be defenseless?

It's not scientific!

The unexpected situation made Feng Yong a little undecided.

"Go, call all the generals."

Feng Yong commanded at Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Wei and Jiang Wei received Feng Yong's order and quickly gathered over.

When they learned about the situation in the mountain pass ahead, several people were surprised.

"Tell me what you think in your hearts." Feng Yong frowned a little and said, "The situation is very strange! Tsk, it's true that planning is not as fast as change. ”

Several people looked at each other, Zhang Wei was the oldest, and he was the first to ask: "Junhou, is this matter true?" ”

"The most dangerous thing in this valley is the mountains on both sides. Now Cao Thief is not stationed on the mountain, which is an abnormal thing. ”

Feng Yong squatted down, took stones and branches, and posed, "If we occupy the mountains on both sides, we can strike down from a high position." ”

"Even if we don't attack, we can defend from the height, Cao thief can only look up and sigh, so how unwise is the Cao thief guard in Jincheng?"

This way, smooth sailing, not even the enemy's sentry has been encountered, which is a very strange thing in itself.

Feng Yongke didn't believe that the other party's sentry was so powerful, and while escaping the detection of the Dark Night Camp, he didn't even leave a trace of it.

This quirky feeling reached its highest point when preparing to get out of the valley.

How can I have the feeling that the Kaneshiro Defender is our high-ranking spy and is trying to cooperate with his own actions and find ways to make his way unimpeded.

It just feels ridiculous.

Jiang Wei looked at the two stones and a few branches on the ground, and couldn't help but whisper: "Junhou, could it be that the Cao thief didn't expect that we would come over the mountain at all, so he was defenseless?" ”

Several people all looked at Jiang Wei, which made this young general who was leading the army for the first time suddenly feel a little restrained.

"The prince is making a big fanfare, how can the Cao thief in Hexi not know?"

Jufu doesn't quite agree with this statement.

Jiang Wei wanted to speak and stopped.

Feng Yong noticed his expression and said, "Even though Boyo said that, I asked you to come just to listen to your opinions. ”

Jiang Wei received Feng Yong's encouragement, so he continued to speak, "Hexi Cao Thief knows that the prince and the marquis are leading the army out of Longxi, but they may not know where the prince has gone, unless they cross the river to check. ”

"The prince asked Chen Taishou and General Liu to escort me and wait for the back road. If the two generals defended effectively, so that Cao Thief had no way to find out the situation on the east coast, then how could Jincheng know where the prince's army had gone? ”

This time, even Zhang Wei shook his head: "Even if the Cao thief can't send an army to cross the river east, at least he can secretly send a sentry to investigate, how can he stay in the west of the river and not move?" ”

"More importantly, how do you explain the thieves outside the valley?"

The Wei army did not send people to guard the valley, but sent dozens of people to garrison the flat land outside the valley, which is really strange.

Jiang Wei was speechless for a while, and his face was slightly swollen red.

"After all possibilities have been ruled out, the most ridiculous inference may be the correct answer."

Feng Yong did not clearly support anyone's opinion, but just said something that no one could understand.

Then he took the branch and pointed to the two stones at his feet, "Whether the thief really has no intention of guarding the mountain pass, just try to know." Who will take these two mountains? ”

As long as he occupies these two mountains, he will be invincible, no matter what conspiracy he has.

Ju Fu and Jiang Wei said at the same time: "The last general asks for his life!" ”

Zhang Wei didn't speak, he thought that the Modao team was fighting head-on in front of the battle, and he was not afraid of anyone.

But if it is such a thing as capturing the mountain, it is not the director of the Modao team.

"Okay, that sentence General led Wudang Camp to Dongshan, and General Jiang led the Hubu Army to Xishan."

Feng Yong responded to the invitation of the two of them, and at the same time instructed, "Although the Dark Night Camp has inspected the mountains on both sides, the outside of the mountains has not been completely inspected after all, so you should be careful." ”

"No!"

Feng Yong looked at Zhang Wei again: "General Zhang, when the two generals lead the army to occupy the mountain, you will stay in the valley and set up camp, just in case." ”

Zhang Wei clenched his fists: "Obey the orders of the king!" ”

"You must remember that if there are really no Cao thieves in the mountain pass, don't keep the banner up first, and let the soldiers wait quietly, so as not to disturb the Cao thieves outside."

After Feng Yong finished issuing the military order, his eyes glanced at a corner in the distance, intentionally or unintentionally, where several miscellaneous servants were sitting and resting.

Well, that's good.

The operation to occupy the hill went even more smoothly than expected.

This made Feng Yong's feeling in his heart that the other party had a senior undercover agent of our army rise again.

After his side easily occupied the commanding heights, Feng Yong climbed up the mountain, raised his binoculars to observe the outside of the valley, and saw that there was an official road a few miles away.

There were no people on the official road, and there was a small camp on the side of the road.

What's even more strange is that the gate of the camp opposite is not facing the valley.

This shows that the other party seems to ...... It seems like...... It's not a warning pass at all!

Confirming this, Feng Yong's heart thumped: "Could it be that Lao Tzu is a hidden European emperor's physique?" ”

Thinking of grabbing a red envelope in his previous life, others were ten yuan, and he only had a fraction of a piece, Feng Junhou suddenly had a feeling of tears in his eyes.

I'm going to be Deng Ai!

Feng Yong turned his head and commanded Zhang Yuan: "Go, call the people from the Dark Night Camp to me!" ”

The captain of the Night Camp soon came over with a cat.

"That camp, when it's night, you take it out for me!"
