Qi Liang changed the way of marching, adopting a combination of work and rest for every two hours of marching, that is, half an hour of rest, and the speed of the march was greatly accelerated. After the guards left, the people of Dai's Mansion took on Qi Liang's escort work, and Qi Liang was very relieved, at least now there was no conflict of interest between the two sides.

A day later, Qi Liang's army arrived at the edge of Yuanshui, Qi Liang ordered the troops to set up camp in Triangle Ping, and waited for a day and a night to see Liu Shengming and others come back, Qi Liang was worried, but also considered the tactical cooperation with Lu Huixiang, the next day he had to order Xiao Liuzi to stay and wait, and he led the army across the Yuan River to accelerate the march to Qianzhou.

After crossing the Yuan River, enter the Wuling Mountains, where the Tujia and Miao ethnic groups are concentrated, Qi Liang instructed to respect the customs of ethnic minorities, strictly order not to find trouble, and to tolerate courtesy. All the way into the mountains, the troops did not commit any offence to the people, and they were safe and sound when they crossed the village and passed through the village. At noon, when we arrived at Huanghu Gorge, a spy hurriedly reported: "Shizi! Ten miles ahead of you to meet obstacles! ”

Qi Liang asked urgently: "But the Qing army?" ”

The spy said: "I don't know if it's a Qing army?" The road was full of stones and wooden pillars, and the army could not move forward! ”

Qi Liang did not hesitate: "The troops quickly dispersed and seized the favorable terrain on both sides; The rear army was on high alert and sent spies to expand twenty miles to search for abnormal movements; The former army first explores the truth and then clears the barricades! ”

The herald quickly passed the order down, and Qi Liang stood under a large tree and pondered worriedly, knowing that the smooth sailing march was over.

Soon, another spy reported: "Yu Shizi! It has been found out that the person who set up the barricade ahead is the Yellow Tiger Village bandit! ”

It turned out that he had encountered a robber, Qi Liang breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Does anyone know about Huanghu Village?" ”

A sergeant said, "Go back to the world! There are 500 thieves in Huanghu Village, born according to Huanghu Gorge, perennial robbery of past business travelers, for the harm of one party, the Qing court has sent troops to suppress several times, but they all returned! "This person is the little flag in charge of the scout team.

Qi Liang said: "Don't mess with them, just clear the barricades, if they don't move, we won't move!" At the same time, the troops were ordered to resume their advance.

After a stick of incense, the former army came to report: "The roadblock clearing team was attacked by the bandits of Huanghuzhai and was forced to retreat!" ”

Qi Liang ordered the troops to pause their advance, and he drove his horse to see what was going on, and the people of Dai's Mansion followed closely.

Outside the Yellow Tiger Valley, two hundred soldiers were on high alert, and the stones and woods on the narrow road in the valley were piled up as high as two people, Qi Liang shook his head helplessly, and he couldn't pass through without moving all those stones and woods.

"Shout to the bandits in the mountains! Let's not interfere with the water of the well, let them let us go, or send someone to negotiate! Qi Liang commanded.

"I'm not hostile, please let us go!" More than two hundred sergeants shouted in unison, and the sound of a neat and loud voice echoed through the valley for a long time, but it was the boulders that rolled down from the mountain that answered them.

Qi Liang gradually became impatient, the weakness just now had damaged the military prestige, thinking that in the future, if this bandit is not eliminated, it will be a scourge after all, and he ordered in a deep voice: "Eliminate them!" He turned and walked away.

A thousand households led 200 archers, and 500 Pu swordsmen attacked the hill on the left, and when they reached the halfway point of the mountain, they were repulsed by the rolling stones, losing two soldiers and wounding more than 10 people.

Qi Liang was furious when he learned of this, and Dai Xin stood up and said: "Shizi! The minions are willing to lead the troops and try! ”

Qi Liang glanced at Dai Xin, who was solid, and thought that he should have some ability as a handpicked person in Dai Mansion, and agreed: "Be careful!" ”

As a result, this time Dai Xin returned in embarrassment without even attacking halfway up the mountain, and he wanted to attack again, but Qi Liang stopped: "There is no point in attacking strongly, let's think of another way!" "Order the troops to retreat and camp for five miles!

Qi Liang took many precautions to prevent a sneak attack, and at the same time, he was also thinking about the idea of attacking Huanghu Cottage at night, but the news that the spies came back made him frustrated, and there was only one way to go up the cottage, and this road had long been closed.

At the time of Shen Zheng, the last spy came back, and he brought back a Miao man, saying that he knew a passage to bypass the Yellow Tiger Valley, and Qi Liang was overjoyed when he heard it, and rewarded the Miao man with ten taels of silver for him to lead the way.

Dai Xin was suspicious and obstructed: "Shizi! It's getting dark, I'm afraid there will be fraud, so let's wait until tomorrow, right? ”

Qi Liang raised his eyebrows, and said while dressing up: "Who said that today is over, I just went to take a look!" After saying that, he walked out of the big tent, and Dai Xin beckoned, and more than 100 people followed closely.

The so-called passage was only more than ten miles away from the Wu army's camp, and Qi Liang and the others arrived in less than half an hour on horseback. It was a sheep intestine path, zigzag and hidden in the mountains and forests, Qi Liang hesitated to go in and have a look, Dai Xin was afraid that Qi Liang would go in and hurriedly waved his hand, and the two Dai family soldiers had to gallop in, but he stopped: "Shizi!" Please wait a moment and wait for the two of them to find out the truth! ”

Qi Liang glanced up at the mountains and forests, and sighed lightly: "Alas! No more! We've been tricked! Then he shouted, "Everyone, disperse!" ”

Dai Xin was frightened, looked left and right and found nothing unusual, but Qi Liang had jumped off the horse as quickly as a cunning rabbit and hid behind a stone, and the others inexplicably didn't know what was going on, when Dai Xin looked around again, there were countless people with bows and arrows standing on the surrounding mountains, and he shouted in horror: "Hide!" Before the words fell, countless sharp arrows had already "swished" and flew in, and dozens of people were hit by the arrows and landed.

Seeing the soldiers who were hit by the arrows struggling to die on the ground, Qi Liang endured the pain and felt helpless, after all, these people were not his own subordinates and could not unconditionally obey his orders.

The sharp arrow shuttle has never stopped very orderly, Dai Xin escorted a small soldier to Qi Liang's side smartly, and asked anxiously: "Shizi!" What now? ”

Qi Liang looked around, there were three or four hundred enemies, all of them shot arrows with bows, and said with a wry smile: "What else?" Raise the white flag! ”

Dai Xin was puzzled: "Raise the white flag? "I don't understand what it means.

Qi Liang said bitterly and even humiliatedly: "It's surrender!" Urging: "Hurry up and fly the white flag, or the soldiers will all die!" "The enemy was so precise with his arrows that the soldiers who hid behind the rocks behind the trees were shot from time to time.

Dai Xin doesn't believe that playing the white flag is useful, and more importantly, where does the white flag come from now? Qi Liang was as anxious as fire, and when he saw that the little soldier next to Dai Xin was wearing a white coat, he couldn't tell the difference, took out his sword, picked out a hole, and tore off a large piece with force!

"You! Shameless! The little soldier blushed and lost the sleeve on his left arm.

"You? Dai Mengmeng? Qi Liang was shocked when he heard that coquettish voice, and when he looked closely, it was Miss Dai who was even more shocked.

"Hooligans!" Dai Mengmeng covered her arms and glared at Qi Liang angrily.

Dai Xin smiled bitterly, Qi Liang didn't have time to take into account Dai Mengmeng's feelings, stabbed the white cloth on the sword, and then raised it and shook it and shouted: "We surrender!" We surrender! Stop archery! Stop archery! He was answered by a flurry of sharp arrows, several of which also landed on the sword with a crisp metallic crash.

Qi Liang continued to shake and scream, and after a while, the rain of arrows stopped, and Dai Xin unexpectedly raised the white flag to be useful!

Qi Liang lay on his back weakly, looking at the sky helplessly, and then looked at Dai Mengmeng, who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and only cared about getting angry sideways, why was this back so familiar? Suddenly it occurred to me that the person who fell down the hill on horseback that day was not the same back? "Why is Miss Dai in the army?" Qi Liang spoke up, I don't know if he asked Dai Mengmeng or Dai Xin.

Dai Xin replied: "Sister Dai is coming, no one can stop her!" ”

It seems that she is another unruly woman, Qi Liang asked again: "Does Dai Yuanwai know?" ”

Dai Xin said: "Master Dai Zhuang knows! ”

That Dai Xuan is too spoiled by his own daughter, this is a battlefield but not a playground, Qi Liang snorted coldly: "Nonsense!" "Close your eyes and don't speak, waiting to be a prisoner of the enemy.
