As soon as they heard Zheng Luya say that they would take risks in person, Zhao Liang and Yang Zongbao objected almost in unison: "How can it be done?" Absolutely not! ”

Especially Zhao Liang, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed in his heart: Xiaoya, Xiaoya, Lao Tzu risked being condemned as a traitor by the anti-penetration, and ran to save you with all the difficulty, how can you be in danger?

He said in a firm tone: "You are obviously the main general, but you have to do the work of a scout, isn't this a waste of the country's money?" I absolutely disagree with you going. ”

"Brother Zhao is right," Yang Zongbao also said: "If you want to go, I will go!" Miss Mu, although you are strong in martial arts, you have never been on the battlefield after all, and if you say something offensive, you still don't have enough experience ......."

Zhao Liang interrupted him: "Don't say anything more about both of you, no one is allowed to go!" ”

Xiao Yaxiu frowned lightly: "Master Hou, this matter is related to the safety of tens of thousands of soldiers, what is a little personal sacrifice?" If we don't go, how can the news of the rescue be sent to Nanlebao? I really don't feel at ease when I send other fighters on a mission. ”

Zhao Liang waved his hand: "Okay, I have already arranged the matter of sending the letter, Li Erbai has taken a shortcut, and it is estimated that he is already in the castle at this time." ”

"Huh? Li Erbai? "What's wrong with the Erbai Daoist?"

Zheng Luya and Yang Zongbao couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, and they were a little confused, and they opened their mouths to inquire one after another, Zhao Liang said vaguely: "Oh, I told him about our rescue, please ask him to send a letter to Yang Yanzhao." Erbai's martial arts skills are many levels higher than yours, especially the ability to come and go without a trace, which is most suitable for sneaking through the enemy camp into Nanle. ”

Yang Zongbao was overjoyed when he heard this, and naturally recognized Lin'an Hou's judgment and arrangement, but Zheng Luya was not so easy to fool, and asked puzzledly: "Master Hou, we set off immediately after receiving the military order, and I didn't see you have the opportunity to inform the Erbai Daoist." Besides, the temporary change of strategy and the path of the march was also made halfway after the departure, how do you tell him? ”

As soon as these words came out, Yang Zongbao was also quite curious, and looked at Zhao Liang suspiciously, Zhao Liang was speechless by Xiaoya's question for a while, and he couldn't say why, he scratched his head in embarrassment, and had to take out the flickering technique again, and began to make up: "Eh...... You don't know, our Daomen has a kind of mysterious telepathic Dafa, which can transmit sound for thousands of miles, so ......"

"It's so amazing?" Yang Zongbao was dumbfounded when he heard this: "Hey, Brother Zhao, this divine function can't be taught to the younger brother, and it will definitely be useful in the future." ”

Zhao Liang glanced at him angrily: "It's okay to learn if you want to, but you must be pure-hearted, and your daughter-in-law can't marry." ”

When Yang Zongbao heard this, he was so frightened that he stuck out his tongue, and he didn't dare to mention this matter again, and by the way, he was a little embarrassed to take a look at Zheng Luya. Xiao Ya said suspiciously: "Telepathy Dafa? Master Hou, this matter is related to military aircraft, so I can't joke at all. Can your Qianli Transmission be able to do a hundred trials and be foolproof? ”

Zhao Liang hurriedly replied: "It's not spiritual, can't you wait to see it?" We just arrived here and need to take a little rest, and Xiao Guanyin Nu did not attack the city fiercely, so we simply waited for a day or two to see if Erbai would come to Hutou Mountain to find us. Won't it all be clear then? ”

Zheng Luya made a little calculation in her heart, and now I am afraid that she can only wait and see for the time being, as Zhao Liang said. If Li Erbai hadn't sent news to Nanle, she could have broken into the camp in person.

The officers and men of the rapid aid division received the order of the commander to set up a position in the sparse forest area, and sent scout posts on all sides to be responsible for guarding, while most of them were lying or sitting, staying in place to rest.

At this time, the sky was full of clouds, and rain and snow were falling. This weather is also strange, the rain is not like rain, snow is not like snow, it is like a small Xiaoice crystal like a grain of salt, hitting the face is cold and itchy, making people feel very uncomfortable.

Zhao Liang walked to Zheng Luya's side, handed over the sheepskin kettle, and asked, "Have the soldiers been arranged?" ”

Zheng Luya took the kettle into her hand, thanked her softly, and then replied after taking a sip: "The tent and the bonfire don't need to be considered, so everyone can make do with rest in this miserable wind and rain." I was thinking about whether to move the team to the dense forest to settle down, so that I could shelter from the rain to some extent, but it was difficult for a large number of baggage vehicles to be placed in the forest, so I had to stay here. ”

As she spoke, she looked up at the air and sighed helplessly: "Alas, this thief is a thief who loves to toss people." ”

Zhao Liang subconsciously looked up with her, and was about to answer, when suddenly, he found something very unusual, and said strangely: "Huh? In this kind of weather, there are still birds flying around? ”

Zheng Luya also saw the bird Zhao Liang said at this time, and said casually: "I guess I was forced to fly out to find food." However, it is not like an ordinary bird, and judging by its size and movements, it is mostly a bird of prey such as a falcon. ”

Zhao Liang stared at the small black dot in the air that kept hovering, and after a long time, he said suspiciously: "No, I seem to have seen it somewhere!" ”

"Huh? Have you seen it? Zheng Luya couldn't help but wonder: "Could it be an old acquaintance of the Hou Ye?" ”

"No, no, no, I'm not kidding!" Zhao Liang said firmly: "Not long after we passed the Fengjin Ferry, I also saw this guy in the sky. ”

Zheng Luya was curious when she heard this, and after observing it carefully for a while, she shook her head: "I'm afraid you are wrong." Don't all the birds in the sky look the same? Can you tell who's who? ”

Zhao Liang straightened up, almost broke his neck, and while struggling to raise his head to track the flight trajectory of the big bird, he replied: "I naturally don't recognize the bird's seven aunts and eight aunts, but this one is different." I'm 80% sure that this guy used to appear above us, and now it's here again! Heralds! ”

A junior colonel walked quickly to the front: "Master Hou, what are your orders?" ”

"Go and call Deputy Envoy Yang, quick!"

After a while, Yang Zongbao, who was checking the rest of the soldiers everywhere, rushed here in a hurry, and before the people could stand firmly, Zhao Liang asked: "Have you heard of the Khitan tradition of using falcons to hunt?" ”

Yang Zongbao wiped the rain from his face and replied, "I've heard of it." The nomads of the steppes relied on falcons to find and discover their prey. ”

Zhao Liang pointed to the air: "Look at it, isn't it that way?" ”

People like Yang Zongbao, who have practiced archery since childhood, naturally have better eyesight than Zhao Liang and Zheng Luya, and he glanced at it and said: "Yes, that's right, it's that kind of flat-haired beast, commonly known as the gray harrier, which is the favorite falcon of the Khitan people. But it's strange, the gray harrier generally lives on the grassland, why did the Central Plains also appear, is it like other migratory birds, ready to migrate south for the winter? ”

"I don't think so," Zhao Liang frowned: "What I'm most afraid of is that this guy will be used as a high-altitude reconnaissance satellite." ”

Yang Zongbao didn't understand what "satellite" was, and was about to ask for advice, Zheng Luya's subconscious memory played a role at this time, and immediately understood the meaning of "satellite" in Zhao Liang's mouth, and said strangely: "Hou Ye guesses, this may be the eyeliner sent by the Liao army?" ”

Zhao Liang nodded: "I have seen in a book before that after strict training, the one in a hundred falcons can take the enemy's army as prey, conduct long-distance reconnaissance, and then pass important information to the owner through different flight paths or movements." ”

Yang Zongbao was shocked when he heard this: "No, wouldn't that mean that the Khitan dog has a pair of eyes on top of our heads?" ”

Zheng Luya said in a deep voice: "Master Hou, how likely do you estimate this to be?" Are you sure it's following us at Kazutsu? ”

"Most of the time you can't be wrong," Zhao Liang's face was equally grim: "As Zong Bao just said, this kind of gray harrier rarely appears in the Central Plains, so its appearance characteristics are also very different from other birds. I'm almost certain that this is the one I saw on the north shore of Kazutsuto. ”

"Then it's troublesome," Zheng Luya said a little anxiously: "If it really deliberately targets us, it is likely that it is a high-altitude spy sent by the Khitans, and the entire operation of our rapid reinforcement division has been completely exposed to the Liao army." ”

Yang Zongbao reacted and said, "Immediately organize the team and transfer as soon as possible." ”

Zhao Liang stretched out his hand to stop Yang Zongbao: "Wait, let's think about it carefully." There are two possibilities at the moment, one is that we are overly nervous, suspicious, and take an ordinary eagle as a scout for the enemy, and finally scare ourselves half to death. If that's the case, then it doesn't matter, at most it's just self-deprecation. ”

Zheng Luya nodded, and continued: "Another possibility is that it really came from the Liao Army, and it has been tracking the rapid aid division all the way. However, we have been walking very safely on the road these days, probably because the enemy did not expect us to come from this direction, so it is too late to mobilize the main force and carry out an ambush and robbery. ”

"Now that our army has arrived at Hutou Mountain, it is already close to Xiao Guanyinnu and Nanlebao, presumably they should be almost ready," Zhao Liang analyzed: "If it is not surprising, most of Xiao Tzurin's volleying soldiers and horses are in this vicinity at this time, and they are hiding in the dark and quietly staring at us." If the quicker reinforcement division makes the slightest change at this time, it may be in the hands of the enemy, so that they can charge without scruples. ”

Yang Zongbao asked, "So what should we do?" If this is the second case, wouldn't we be sitting back and waiting for death? ”

Zhao Liang pondered for a moment: "Let's treat it as the second situation." Assuming that Xiao Tzu Rin's troops have arrived near the area of Hutou Mountain, what would you do if you were the king of the Southern Courtyard? ”

Without waiting for Yang Zongbao to speak, Zheng Luya spoke: "If the speed aid division dares to act rashly and attack Xiao Guanyinnu's camp from behind, then I will come to a praying mantis to catch cicadas and yellow finches, and also attack the speed aid division from behind; However, if the rapid reinforcement division does not move, then I will take advantage of the fact that the Song army has just arrived here, and is unstable and exhausted, and carry out a surprise attack during the night's rest. ”

When Yang Zongbao heard this, he looked at the sky where the rain and snow were drifting, and muttered: "It is estimated that in more than an hour, the sky will be dark." We are now trapped here, without any fortifications to rely on, and I am afraid that the situation is even more dire than that of Nanlebourg. He turned his head and said to Zhao Liang and the others: "Brother Zhao, Miss Mu, I propose that you lead the main force to immediately launch an offensive against Xiao Guanyinu, try to break through the enemy's camp, and enter Nanle Fort for temporary refuge, while I will take a part of the brothers to break off the rear for you and block Xiao Tzu Rin, who may be killed from behind." ”

Zheng Luya glanced at Zhao Liang, and then said: "This plan is absolutely impossible, don't say if we can easily break through the encirclement of the Liao soldiers and enter Nanle Fort smoothly." Even if it can be entered, it is only equivalent to adding a lone army to Nan Leduo. At that time, who will come to our rescue? ”

Yang Zongbao was slightly stunned, and then persuaded again: "It's better than staying here and waiting for death!" You arrived safely at my father's place, and Zongbao can be at ease for a while. ”

Zhao Liang patted Yang Zongbao on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I don't want to die here at all, let alone let her die here." It's not that there is no way out right now, it's just that we haven't found a way out yet. So ......"

He turned his head to Zheng Luya and said, "If the tactics and strategies are right, maybe it can produce some miracles, and hit Xiao Tzu Rin hard." ”
