Fortunately, the upper reaches of the muddy water are not particularly wide, otherwise it would have been impossible for people on the other side to hear such a speech.

Feng Yang took the appointment letter and looked at it, and was quite satisfied. Although the official position given by Huashan Army is a little different from that of the world, what he cares about is the real power in his hands, and nothing else matters.

Since Li Xin gave him full power, he has nothing to say. After hearing these words at this time, he hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said: "Please rest assured that the general will obey the general's orders, educate the people, and make every effort to ensure the safety of Hedong!" ”

"It's so good, see you today, and the future will be long! If Feng Fujun has outstanding political achievements, he will be rewarded in the future and promoted to the position of envoy, which is also an easy task! The other party is so good, Li Xin is naturally satisfied.

After a few more small talks, the two sides separated directly. This meeting, relatively speaking, was a happy situation for all. However, after returning to Wenxi County, Li Xin did not go back to Guanzhong directly, but went to Yiguan to see Liu Xiaohai.

This meeting, because Li Xin personally did it, attracted the eyes of those forces around the Huashan Army. Everyone was paying attention to the banks of the muddy water, because they wanted to know if Li Xin would take the opportunity to take Shangdang County.

No one noticed that when Li Xin had just set foot on the boundary of Hedong, Li Erhei, Zhou Tong and others who stayed in Guanzhong were already quietly acting.

"General, the camp has been arranged, and the sentry has been arranged!" On the second day of Li Xin's arrival in Hedong, Zhou Tong had already rushed to the south of Chencang County with an army of 2,000, and then plunged into the mountains at dawn and hid.

"Very well, tell the brothers, not to reveal their whereabouts. Let's rest during the day and travel at night, it's not for coolness! Zhou Tong nodded and ordered.

"Yes!" The herald hurriedly went to give the order. Zhou Tong sat under a big tree, contemplating.

Before Li Xin left Guanzhong, he deliberately found the two of them in order to arrange a plan of action.

is the so-called Ming Xiu plank road, secretly crossing Chen Cang, this operation, in order to attract Fu Qin's attention and make the other party relax their vigilance. Li Xin deliberately went to Hedong to meet Feng Yang, while Zhou Tong and Li Erhei acted secretly and led their troops to the direction of Longguan.

This time, Zhou Tong and Li Erhei each brought two thousand troops, all of whom were trained in the old camp of the new army before. Under the day and night, no one notices at all.

Zhou Tong led an army of 2,000 people from Chang'an Nan and hurried along the foot of the Qinling Mountains, preparing to go from there to the direction of the Great Earthquake Pass. And Li Erhei led his men and horses from the north of Chang'an City, along the Meridian Ridge, Qiaoshan Mountains and other places to Longguan to join the army there.

If nothing else, the two men will probably not meet until after engaging the enemy. At the same time, it was not only them who acted at the same time, Li Xin also issued an order to Peng Lin, Sun Tie and others, once the time came, they would also immediately act on the Anding County side.

With their two groups of men, plus the troops on the front line of Longguan and Xinping Fuyuanguan, this time, in order to completely eliminate the Fu Qin forces, Li Xin prepared an army of 20,000. This already accounts for most of the entire Huashan Army.

Counting the place in Hedong, 10,000 soldiers and horses have now gathered, and if you count it, there are only more than 4,000 people left in the combat troops in Guanzhong.

Fortunately, after such a long period of training, the garrison troops of each county can take on the great task of garrisoning all places! Coupled with the people's support for the Huashan Army, they are not afraid that there will be any major problems.

Besides, even if there is really any problem, the garrisons around Guanzhong can come back at any time.

"General, the guide sent by Master Tu has arrived!" Just as Zhou Tong was ready to take a rest, the soldiers came to report!

"Oh! Hurry up and ask him to come over! Hearing this, Zhou Tong suddenly fell asleep and hurriedly commanded.

It didn't take long for a middle-aged man who looked like a hunter to be brought over.

"Grass people Liu Quan pays a visit to the general!" After seeing Zhou Tong, the visitor hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

"Hurry up, Uncle Liu, sit down and talk!" Zhou Tong hurriedly helped the person up and said gently.

Through the conversation, Zhou Tong learned that this person was a real hunter, and his family lived in the deep mountains and old forests on both sides of the upper reaches of Weishui. Thanks to Tu Qi, he was able to find him.

"Uncle Liu, I heard that your family has lived in the mountains and forests by the Weishui River for generations, and has made a living by hunting, is this true?"

"What the general said is true, in the Yellow Turban Rebellion at the end of the Han Dynasty, in order to avoid the disaster of war, the ancestors of the grass people took the whole family into the mountains and forests to beg for a living. Over the years, it has been several generations, and I have been able to make a living by hunting every day! Liu Quan hurriedly replied, and it could be seen that he had relaxed a lot.

"Since Uncle Liu has lived in the mountains and forests on both sides of the Weishui River for generations, he must know the situation in the mountains and forests very well?"

"It's not the grass people who boast, the grass people have grown up in the mountains since childhood. In the mountains and forests, even if the grass people have their eyes closed, they know where to go! Speaking of this, Liu Quan suddenly said proudly.

"Well, I heard that where Weishui passed, there used to be an ancient mountain road that could lead from Guanzhong to the land of Tianshui. I don't know if Uncle Liu knows about this? Zhou Tong nodded and asked.

"How did the general know about this? Don't hide what the general said, there is indeed such a mountain road, if ordinary people come to ask, the grass people will never tell him! However, the Huashan Army worked for the benefit of the people, and General Li loved the people like a son, and the grass people should do their best to help. Hearing this, Liu Quan couldn't help but exclaim.

"Please also tell me the details of this road! I must be grateful! Zhou Tong was overjoyed and said busily.

"That mountain road is a convenient road for mountain people to pass through in the past, along the Weishui all the way to the west, and finally you can reach today's Tianshui County, Shangtai County and other places! However, although this road has existed since the pre-Qin period, it is extremely dangerous. The mountains on both sides of the river bank are high and dense, the cliffs are high and the valleys are deep, and the slightest carelessness will end up with no bones. Don't say that it is a general and other people who have never been there, even mountain people like us who beg for a living in the mountains and forests all year round, and we dare not say that there is no danger at all! Speaking of this, Liu Quan already understood his thoughts, and couldn't help worrying.

"My brothers and I have put life and death out of the way. This time, if you can wipe out Fu Qin in one fell swoop, return a peaceful place to Qinzhou, and make the people everywhere fall under the rule of the Huashan Army and live a stable life, it will be worth dying! Zhou informed him of what he meant, stood up and said firmly.

"Well, since the general has this ambition, how can the grass people stand by coldly! The grass people have lived to this age, they are just ordinary hunters, and today they have this opportunity to help the general become a big thing, and the grass people are also out of the way. The general can rest assured, this time the grass people will lead the way, and take the generals and soldiers through the mountains and mountains to Tianshui! Hearing this, Liu Quan couldn't help but be silent for a while, and then sighed.

"If Uncle Liu helps, great things can be done! After the success of this battle, I will definitely ask the general for the credit for the uncle! Don't let your uncle's hard work go to waste! Zhou Tong hurriedly said.

The two immediately discussed, this Liu Quan is worthy of being an old hunter, and he is very familiar with the things in the mountains. Many things that he hadn't paid attention to before were all revealed by him at this time.

It was only at this time that Zhou Tong knew that he originally thought it was a preparation and a very appropriate action, but in fact, there were still many places that were not perfect! If you don't pay attention, I'm afraid that your army will be wiped out in the mountains and forests.

Thinking of this consequence, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"You quickly and secretly rushed back to Chang'an, and handed over this letter to Wang Changshi in person!" After talking, Zhou Tong decided to rest in the mountains for one more day, and at the same time repair a book and send it to Chang'an to ask Wang Meng to help.

When Zhou Tong and others acted, Li Xin also met with Liu Xiaohai.

Since the east of Yiguan is Hanoi County, the Huashan Army has now deployed heavy troops in the two dangerous places of Yiguan and Jiguan to hold the entire eastern section of Yiguan.

In the past, Liu Xiaohai was usually stationed in Yuan County for a long time, and he only went to inspect the two passes every once in a while. But after the king of Hanoi County surrendered to Yan, he was stationed in Kei Pass and Yi Pass for a long time, and the place where Li Xin met him was in Yi Pass.

Yiguan was already a pass in the Warring States Period, and the pass was the danger of Yidao, so it was called Yiguan, which was the first of the eight Taihang Mountains.

The two mountains are sandwiched here, and the closer you get to the bottom of the ravine, the narrower it becomes, and its narrowest point is only eight meters. The terrain is dangerous, it is the throat on the ancient Yi Pass, it is known as the natural danger of sealing the door, and it has been a military danger in all dynasties.

Therefore, although it is not particularly big, it is very important! Although there are not many garrisons, only 500 people, it has the tendency of being a man and a man.

"Look at this great river and mountain, but it fell into the hands of others, it's really a pity!" Standing at the head of Yiguan City, Li Xinyuan looked to the east, where Hanoi County was located.

"Hanoi County is bordered by the big river in the south and Taihang in the west, and the terrain is flat and fertile, if we can win it, it will be a lot of benefits for us. It's a pity that there are just as many disadvantages, the plains are not conducive to defense, and now that we have Hanoi County, we have to fight with the Murong clan! Liu Xiaohai said with a smile.

Since he was sent to the east of the river, his whole person has become more calm than before. If you put him here, Li Xin is very relieved!

"Yes! We don't have that strength yet, but it's a matter of time! Once the west side is settled, our strength should be strengthened! Here, I will leave it to you, the land of Hedong, I will gather you enough 10,000 troops, and before destroying Fu Qin, I will stabilize Hedong! Li Xin nodded, and then said to him.

"General rest assured, the last general will be crushed, and he will never let the enemy step into Hedong!" Liu Xiaohai said angrily.
