With Su Ji's three-inch tongue, Dou Lin obediently signed the treaty, although many people in Beijin are still dissatisfied with this treaty, but Wanyan Zongbi is particularly satisfied, because there is more than half of the grain, he can do it to the Northern Liao people next year, and the land he has lost now will be ten times or a hundred times more recovered by the Northern Liao people in the future.

Dou Lin was also very satisfied, because he hadn't returned to the capital yet, Li Jun's holy decree came down, Li Jun was very satisfied with Dou Lin's errand this time, and generously promoted Dou Lin to the position of a third-grade official, which was fully promoted by two levels, and then changed the conversation, asking Dou Lin not to return to the capital first, and immediately go south to Nanchu, Datang was ready to extort a batch of grain from Nanchu, and the total amount of this batch of grain reached one million stones.

Dou Lin honestly accepted the holy decree, and then asked the Jinyi guard who came to deliver the decree: "Qincha, I don't know if Your Majesty has any other orders?" ”

The messenger arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty still has a message for me to bring to your lordship." ”

"Listen to the seal." Dou Lin immediately said.

The messenger coughed and said, "Your Majesty, Dou Lin should not go too fast, enjoy the scenery along the way, and wait until my army breaks through the Wuling Pass, and it is not too late for you to go to Southern Chu to negotiate." ”

After Dou Lin heard this, the big stone in his heart was finally put down, because Nan Chu had always had a bad habit of killing envoys......

In fact, this is also Li Jun's helpless move, this year's drought period is a bit long, and the grain production in the entire north of Datang is not good, so he had to hit Nanchu with the idea.

So Li Jun and others rearranged the offensive against Southern Chu, as long as the Wuling Pass was broken, then Southern Chu would become the fish and meat on the case of the Tang Dynasty, and let others slaughter it, and the emperor of Southern Chu would definitely agree to a million stone grains and grass.

Li Jun was not going to use conspiracy this time, but gave Lin Dahong, who had just returned to Changsha from the military academy, a death order: to break through Wuling Pass with a dignified and upright army.

Lin Dahong was very happy after receiving the order, his army was completely trained in accordance with His Majesty's orders, Lin Dahong also wanted to test the real combat effectiveness of this army for a long time, but unfortunately there has been no chance, for a year, his new army can only suppress bandits near Changsha, and now basically the entire Changsha County bandits have been wiped out by themselves.

September is the rainy season in Changsha, Lin Dahong deliberately picked a sunny day, held a departure ceremony, Lin Dahong stood at the top, looked at his 50,000 soldiers, excitedly shouted: "Soldiers, this commander knows that you are in a hurry, to be honest, this commander is also anxious, now the opportunity has finally come, all the soldiers, do you dare to fight with this commander?" ”

"War, war, war......" There was only one word to answer Lin Dahong.

Lin Dahong nodded with satisfaction, and gave Meng Qiao beside him a look, Meng Qiao solemnly took over a flag from the hands of several chamberlains, Meng Qiao handed over the flag to Lin Dahong, Lin Dahong hung the flag on his arm and yelled at the soldiers below: "Soldiers, this is the banner given by His Majesty, and from now on we will be called Changsha Army."

"The flag is in the people, and the flag is dead." Meng Qiao took the lead and shouted.

"The flag is here, the flag is dead, and the people ......are dead," the 50,000 soldiers roared.

Lin Dahong waved his sword and said, "Go to Wuling Pass." ”

"No......"

As soon as the Changsha army left Changsha City less than thirty miles, it rained lightly in the world, Meng Qiao is a northerner, and he was most disgusted by this rainy weather, so he had to hide in his carriage to read a book, and the rain was dripping and dripping, Meng Qiao opened the window and looked outside and sighed: "No wonder Your Majesty does not need the Northern Army to attack Southern Chu, just this weather, it is estimated that before the battlefield, more than half of the soldiers will be lost." ”

The Changsha army marched for ten days and finally came to the fifty miles of Wuling Pass, which was only a few miles away from the Fengbao of Wuling Pass, Lin Dahong sent scouts to investigate the enemy situation in front of him, Lin Dahong waited for about half an hour, the scouts came back, and saw that the scouts sent out were covered with blood, Lin Dahong carefully counted the number of people, and found that no one was killed, so he threw a pot of wine and said: "The injured should go to the military medical camp quickly, and drink some wine and hurry into the account to report the enemy situation to Lao Tzu." ”

As soon as Lin Dahong entered the tent, a lewd guy walked in, Lin Dahong asked with a smile, "Tell me about the situation." ”

"Marshal Qiyu, his subordinates broke through a beacon fort, caught a few live mouths, and asked about the situation, there are fifteen beacon forts here in Wuling Pass, each beacon fort has fifty people, all of them are some veterans who have seen blood, it is not easy to deal with, if the subordinates did not bring explosives this time, and suddenly blew up the gate of the beacon fort, I am afraid that if you want to take it, you will have to sacrifice more than a dozen brothers." The leader of the scouts said.

Lin Dahong nodded with satisfaction and said: "Good job, your merits have been written down, and the brothers below will be arranged to rest for a while, and then send fourteen brothers to lead the team, and pull out the rest of the nails for Ben Shuai." ”

"Don't worry, your subordinates have already asked the location of the remaining fourteen Beacon Castles, and they will never lead the wrong way." The leader of the scouts patted his chest and reassured.

Lin Dahong waved his hand and said, "Hurry up, remember, go to the chief of staff to register the battle merits first." ”

"No, my subordinates obey." After saying that, the leader of the scouts left happily.

At dinner that night, thirteen of the fourteen teams came back, and only one had not yet returned, Lin Dahong was a little anxious, but he still asked lightly: "Who led the team that didn't come back?" ”

"Marshal Qiyu, it is led by Captain Jiao Bi'an." Meng Qiao immediately replied.

Lin Dahong smiled and comforted the generals: "It's that kid, it shouldn't be fine." ”

As soon as Lin Dahong's words fell, a young lieutenant trotted in, and Lin Dahong said angrily: "Why is it delayed for so long? Don't you know that military law is ruthless? ”

Jiao Bi'an immediately knelt down and pleaded: "Boss, it's not a dereliction of duty, it's really an accident. ”

"Say."

"Qiyu Marshal, that's the case, it was quite smooth at the beginning, it was easy to capture the Beacon Fort with gunpowder, and when cleaning the battlefield, the Humble Duty discovered a big secret, there was a tunnel in this Beacon Fort, so the Humble Duty sent someone to check the tunnel well, and it delayed the time." Jiao Bi'an explained.

Lin Dahong's pupils shrank sharply and immediately asked, "Where does that tunnel lead?" Have you found out? ”

"The tunnel couldn't go halfway through, and then the lowly job was asked from the mouth of the prisoner of war, in fact, the tunnel was secretly built by the captain of Fengbao before, and it went straight to Wuling Pass, which was used for dating his lover, but since Xiang Jie came, the military discipline was rectified, so the captain secretly buried the tunnel."

Lin Dahong thought about it for a while and immediately ordered: "Jiao Bi'an, you take five hundred people to repair the tunnel, as long as this tunnel can reach the gate of Wuling Pass, this commander will remember your great achievement." ”

"No, do as you are told."

Seeing that the time had come, Lin Dahong immediately ordered: "Tomorrow, the third watch will cook, and the army will open Wuling Pass." ”

"No." The soldiers immediately ran to the lieutenants to give orders.

Early the next morning, the army led by Lin Dahong arrived in front of Wuling Pass, and Meng Qiao came to Lin Dahong's side and whispered: "Marshal, the Jinyi guard scouts have come to report that there are 5,000 elephant soldiers in Wuling Pass." ”

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Lin Dahong said angrily.

Meng Qiao smiled bitterly: "Now there are fewer and fewer old people who are lowly in Jinyiwei, and I don't know the specific situation." ”

"Hmph, delay the military aircraft, and when this battle is over, Ben Shuai will definitely take a good look at the Jinyi Guard." Lin Dahong snorted coldly, Meng Qiao stood aside and smiled bitterly and stopped talking.

Xiang Jie is not a straw bag, so he knew that Lin Dahong was coming with the army, and immediately sent an envoy to Lin Dahong's array, and before the envoy could speak, Lin Dahong ordered to shoot the envoy's legs, and the envoy was also a man, gritting his teeth and asking: "Lin Dahong, what do you mean by this?" ”

Lin Dahong sneered: "Nanchu Yu, everyone will be punished, if it weren't for the fact that you are the messenger, it would not be your leg that Ben Shuai shot, go back and tell your general, either surrender or fight, Wuling Guan Ben Shuai is occupied." ”

After saying that, he waved his hand, and the two soldiers tied the envoy to the horse and rushed back in the direction of Wuling Pass. ”

"Don't worry, Dashuai, leave this battle to me Yelang Guoerlang." A tattooed man stood up and said.

This person's name is Barbarbarian, and he can be regarded as a famous family in Yelang Country, because recently Yelang Country has been violated by many Tang slave hunting groups, don't look at these people are just some rangers, but the combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated, the army of Yelang Country is more defeated than victorious, and this group of people is particularly insatiable, regardless of men and women, young and old, as long as they are people, they are within the scope of their capture.

In just half a year, the population of Yelang Country has decreased by one-third, in order to leave seeds for the family, Ye Liyun, the leader of the Yeli clan, specially arranged for the warriors in his clan to take refuge in Nanchu, hoping to escape this catastrophe and make a comeback in the future.

What I didn't expect was that the leading Barbarian was a reckless man, when he passed near Wuling Pass, he was fooled by Xiang Jie, and Barbarian took the last family of the Yeli family to stay in Wulingguan, and now he was arranged to take the lead, if Ye Liyun knew that this was the case, he would definitely beat Barry to death.

As soon as the five thousand elephant soldiers came out, the cavalry on the Tang army's side was a little chaotic, mainly because the war horses had never seen elephants, so they were restless, screaming, panicking, no matter how the knights on the horses appeased, it was useless.

Seeing this, Lin Dahong immediately ordered the cavalry to retreat, so that the infantry of the Tang army faced the five thousand elephant soldiers, and laughed savagely: "Sons, rush, the Tang army is afraid, let's disperse them in one go, and then kill into the Tang realm, eat meat, drink wine and play with women." ”

After saying that, the barbarian rushed over with five thousand elephant soldiers, the elephant is usually very bulky, but it still runs very fast, and when there are still a thousand steps from the position, Lin Dahong ordered: "Bow crossbowmen, shoot sixty degrees from the back." ”

After a rain of arrows, only a few unlucky elephants were shot in the eye and fell to the ground, and the rest continued to charge forward, and many elephants were injured because they were shot, and they were ferocious, and they rushed even harder, Lin Dahong couldn't help frowning when he saw this, elephants are animals with rough skin and thick meat, and they are really not easy to deal with......
