On the morning of October 10 in the first year of Shaoxi, Ye Qing finally chose to take the Kangzhuang Avenue and enter the customs from Guanlong Road, instead of taking Qinjiayuan Road.

In the cold morning of late autumn, the assembled army of flower planters startled countless birds, and even Hai Dongqing, who had always been well-behaved, was waiting for Ye Qing on the saddle, because of the killing intent exuded by the armor of the flower planter's army, he uneasily stirred his wings a few times, turned his head flexibly, and looked for Ye Qing.

Entering the pass from Guanlong Road means that they must pass through six passes before they can see Longcheng Town at the other end of Guanshan, and then enter the Guanzhong Plain.

"The last general inquired, since three days ago, there has not been a single merchant or other people here, as for these so-called merchants, even the real people of Pingliang Town don't know where they come from and where they are going." Mo Xiaobao was covered with armor all over his body, and Ye Qing was the same, the crisp sound of the nails and leaves when he walked sounded quite pleasant in the early morning.

"What about the Xia army that has come and gone during this time?" Ye Qing put the helmet on the saddle with one hand, Hai Dongqing suddenly fanned his wings, and landed on Ye Qing's hard and cold shoulders, looking at Mo Xiaobao with a dignified face curiously.

Zhong Silkworm frowned and said: "This is not easy to determine, that is, it is not even easy to estimate, the people are at the border pass, although they have seen all kinds of soldiers, but with their eyes, the army of more than 5,000 people is basically an army of 10,000 people in their eyes, and the scale of the description is difficult to reference." I asked several people, and then I did a rough calculation, and the gap was nearly 100,000 people. Some people say that Song Xia wants to fight, and now there are 200,000 soldiers, and some people say that there are probably only 70,000 or 80,000 people, and there are many people who say 350,000 people. ”

At the end, Zhong Silkworm shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and then continued: "The Fengjie Inn in Lanzhou Mansion has also been seized, and there is a tavern here that is related to Fengjie, but ...... Not a soul was there. ”

Ye Qing pursed his lips, his fingers unconsciously tapped on the helmet of the saddle, and thought for a while: "Let's go." According to the plan set last night, no one will stop us from entering Guguan, after all, no matter how stupid Xia Ren is, he will also know that it is best to wait for us to enter the Great Earthquake Pass before they do it. After all, once we enter the Great Earthquake Pass, the roads in front of us and behind us will be blocked, and they will be able to attack us back and forth. ”

"Your Excellency......." Mo Xiaobao tugged on Ye Qing's horse reins, and after hesitating, he still said, "Let the last general take the lead." ”

Ye Qing sat on horseback, Hai Dongqing on his shoulder stood steadily, and looked at Mo Xiaobao with Ye Qing: "Do you think Xia Ren will switch the card because of you?" I don't dare to say that all the generals of the Xia people stationed in Guanshan already know me Ye Qing, but at the very least, I am afraid that most of the Xia generals now have my portrait in their hands, so I am much better than you to take the lead. ”

"Yes...... Why don't you bring more people...... Zhong Silkworm also proposed with a worried face.

"Your hands and feet are better than anything else, I am only responsible for knocking, and then I will not pay attention to my back, even if Xia Ren's knife has been against my back, I will only keep moving forward." Ye Qing said coldly, then took the rifle that Mo Xiaobao had prepared a long time ago, and ran towards the direction of the army that had been assembled outside the town in front of him.

As Ye Qing and his own soldier Jia Shi and other two hundred people left the town, they swept past the army before the assembly of the Flower Planter Army, and in a short time, a thousand soldiers, mainly the old Beiwei army, spontaneously followed Ye Qing and galloped forward.

Zhong Silkworm and Mo Xiaobao looked at the dust raised by Ye Qing's more than 1,000 people in front of them, and looked at the rising sun in the east, but after half an hour, they also began to lead the remaining 4,000 people and began to run forward along the hoof prints left by Ye Qing.

Guanlong Dao has six levels that are like natural barriers, and since Ye Qing has chosen this one with many levels, it is natural that Guguan is the first level he takes the initiative to attack.

He didn't plan to sit still, and he didn't plan to wait for Xia Ren to make a move before counterattacking, but chose to take the initiative to attack from the first level.

The scouts that could be sent last night have been quietly sent out by him, and without startling the snake, he has figured out the strength of the first Guguan, but there are only more than a thousand people, which is completely the number of people guarding the pass on weekdays, so this shows that the Xia people do not plan to do it in the Guguan, or even the second Dazhen Pass, and it is likely that they will choose to attack back and forth after they enter the Dazhen Pass, putting themselves in a dilemma, and then they will be annihilated by them.

So since this is the case, it is better to be caught off guard by the Xia people, after all, the Xia people at this time should still think that Ye Qing and them are not clear about the Xia people and the Jin people, as well as the purpose of the Song Ting to kill him.

Then for Ye Qing, this has become his only chance to take the initiative.

Guanlong Road stretches for five or six hundred miles, plus thousands of years

The continuous repair, the endless comings and goings of businessmen, make Guanlong Road a more suitable road for cars and horses.

It is precisely because the road is quite wide and flat, which is more suitable for cavalry combat, and it stretches for nearly five or six hundred miles, and there are only six passes on the way, which is almost equivalent to one pass for a hundred miles, so as Ye Qing said before they set off, as long as Mo Xiaobao and Zhong Silkworm behind them can be neat with their hands and feet, then it is not difficult for them to easily break through the two checkpoints of the solid pass and the big earthquake pass.

And if you're lucky, you might be able to easily pass two levels in a row without disturbing the previous levels.

As long as the wolf smoke of the beacon tower can't afford it, then Ye Qing and the others will have to go through the two checkpoints of Fu Hanping and Lao Yeling before they reach the Red Deer Pass, but at least at this time, they can take advantage of the night to tackle the problem, and they don't have to worry about someone chasing them behind them.

Guguan is the first checkpoint of Guanshan, but it is a garrison of nearly 1,000 people, and it is not too far from Pingliang Town.

Ye Qing could already faintly see the Great Xia banner fluttering above the Guguan camp, and the banner of the Flower Planter Army above his head was also hunting in mid-air at this time, as if with a hint of provocation.

Hai Dongqing on his shoulders flapped his wings and flew high, and Ye Qing, who stopped before closing the door, led Jia Sheze, who was behind him, into the range of the bows and arrows of the Xia soldiers, and handed the customs clearance documents that had already been prepared in his hand to Li Ren, the Xia guard general who came out to greet him.

"The last general Li Ren has seen Lord Ye, Lord Ye has worked hard along the way, and the last general has prepared a thin banquet for Lord Ye in the camp, and I hope Lord Ye will appreciate it." Li Ren took the customs clearance paperwork and took a cursory glance, and after stamping the solid customs seal according to the procedure, he handed it to Ye Qing.

"Master Li is so polite, I am quite grateful for being so kind to Ye." Ye Qing handed over the paperwork to Jia She, and then followed Li Ren to set his eyes on the flower planter army behind him.

"My lord, are the number of people behind you ......?" Li Ren asked with some suspicion.

Obviously, it is said that nearly 5,000 people have cleared the customs, but why does it seem that it is only the scale of about 1,000 people now? Thinking of this, Li Ren couldn't help but look up at the pass above his head.

"Yes, there are still a lot of people who will arrive later, although Pingliang Town is not big, but the wine is good, very strong, isn't this going to clear the customs back to the Song Dynasty, so let the soldiers relax and relax." Ye Qing said while still riding on horseback.

Li Ren looked at Ye Qing, who had a relaxed demeanor, and then looked at the thousands of soldiers not far away, and listened to Ye Qing's words of indulging the drunkenness of the soldiers under his command, and sneered in his heart at the moment: Drink well, if you don't drink it again, you won't have a chance, after passing the solid pass and entering the Great Earthquake Pass, it will be yīn Cao Difu for you, if you want to drink, you have to drink the good wine of Lord Yan.

"My lord, these guys behind me didn't drink less last night, and now the sun is rising, although it's not hot, but if you keep waiting for the people behind you...... As....... Jia Shi looked back at the camp behind Li Ren, and then said consciously: "Why don't you let them get off the horse and rest first, and then enter the customs when they are ready?" You see, these are old soldiers, and their bodies don't look like ....... ”

"Haha, what did this brother say?" Li Ren didn't want them to enter the customs first, but when Jia Shi reminded him that the first to come were some elderly soldiers, plus Ye Qing's face was smiling but not smiling, with a hint of provocation: Liang, you don't dare to let us enter the customs first, so that Li Ren sneered at Ye Qing in his heart, but said in an atmospheric manner: "Then why bother, so let's do it, in this case, I and Lord Ye are waiting here, come here, let the Song Ting brothers enter the customs first, remember to entertain us, don't have conflicts, Otherwise, Lao Tzu won't be able to spare you! ”

"It's not appropriate, is it?" Although Ye Qing was polite, his expression was one of Do you really dare.

So Li Ren continued to sneer in his heart, as if he wanted to let the dying person in front of him know his majesty in Guguan, with a wave of his big hand, the two huge gates were completely opened in an instant, and the Xia soldiers who were originally lined up behind him instantly put down the bows and crossbows in their hands and retreated to both sides.

"Ye admires someone, I can't imagine that General Li has such prestige in the army, I'm afraid he is also quite loved by the soldiers under his command, right?" Ye Qing smiled and nodded to Jia She, and then Jia Shi rode his horse to the army, shouting at the top of his voice: "Listen to me, don't run around after entering the customs, just stay honestly, don't make trouble for Lao Tzu, this is not our Great Song Dynasty, all brothers bear with it, and when you return to the Great Song Dynasty in a few days, you can have no problem as much as you want." ”

With Jia She's voice, among the cavalry of the thousands of people, there was a dead silence at first, and then there was a sparse sound of response one after another, and there was a weak response, in short, the military appearance and spirit shown by the Song army were completely loose in the rabble

The appearance is completely incomparable with the Xia Jun in Guguan.

It is precisely because Li Ren saw their prime minister with his own eyes that after trying his best to ambush these rabble, the corners of his mouth were undisguised with disdain for Ye Qing, and he even began to feel that the prime minister was hot and hot, and some of them looked down on these rabble too much, just these people, did they still use such great effort to make it look like a big battle between the two countries.

"Let Master Li see and laugh." Ye Qing watched the sparse flower planter army pass by him and Li Ren loosely, and said to Li Ren with a slightly embarrassed face.

And the disdain on Li Ren's face was even more undisguised at this time, because in the process of the Song army entering the customs, there were still people who didn't care about the presence of the generals, and showed a grateful smile at themselves, and said words of gratitude to the adults.

So when Li Ren despised the flower planters under Ye Qing's command, he couldn't help but compare in his heart, just in front of the rabble, I am afraid that his own guards who are less than a thousand will be able to beat them all over the ground to find teeth, cry for father and mother.

As more than 1,000 Song troops entered the customs one after another, Ye Qing and Li Ren, as well as a few of Jia She's personal soldiers were left at the gate, including the Xia soldiers who came out to greet Li Ren with them, and the rest of the people all entered the Guguan camp.

Ye Qing and Li Ren continued to stand at the gate of the pass, and Li Ren's words at this time were even more rude than just now, and every sentence was aimed at the loose Song army under Ye Qing's command, and even said that in the end, he began to wonder if Ye Qing had ever been to the border of the Liao State, could it be that with his scattered soldiers, he could easily defeat the Khorezmians? Wouldn't the more than 1,000 people under his command be called invincible?

"General Li really wants to know?" Ye Qing asked with a smile, and unconsciously, Ye Qing's spirit began to gradually become cold, and a strange atmosphere surprised Li Ren for no reason.

"Could it be that Lord Ye, like our Lord Su, only went to Liaowang City and did not go to ......." Li Ren was halfway through his words, and suddenly realized that he had missed his words, so he couldn't help but stiffen, so he sneered and stopped talking.

"So, Su Dao passed by here a few days ago?" Ye Qing's gaze no longer became as easy-going as just now, but like a knife, staring closely at Li Ren, whose face was a little embarrassed.

Originally, Li Ren still regarded Ye Qing as a straw bag in his heart, but with Ye Qing's compliments just now, Li Ren suddenly felt a little fluttery, and even felt that Ye Qing was nothing more than that, which was as powerful as the prime minister said.

But I didn't want it to be like this, but Ye Qing, who was almost in front of him, easily put out words about Su Dao's whereabouts from his mouth, which made Li Ren, who felt invincible just now, instantly feel annoyed and embarrassed.

"Lord Ye, when will your remaining soldiers arrive, if they can't arrive, they will be ......." Li Ren's face sank, and he coughed and began to change the subject.

It's just that before he finished speaking, Jia She, who had been standing next to Ye Qing, sneered at him, and his face suddenly filled with endless murderous aura at some point: "My lord, you can do it." ”

"Then let's do it." Before Ye Qing finished speaking, the field knife that he had secretly held in his hand for a long time instantly fell on Li Ren's neck: "Let me ask you one more thing, where is Su Dao now?" ”

"Ye Qing, what are you going to do? Come....... Li Ren only felt a chill on his neck, and then the back of the whole person was pushed by Ye Qing's hand along his neck to the closed door.

Just when he wanted to call someone and take down this Song people, he saw Jia Shi and the others behind Ye Qing, instantly picked up the bow and crossbow at his waist, and shot at the Xia soldiers at the door, interrupting his words with a muffled snort, and Yu Guang only saw that his soldiers fell to the ground one by one.

And Jia Shi didn't pay attention to the only remaining Ye Qing and Li Ren at the gate, and rushed in with a low shout, so after the other soldiers checked that the Xia soldiers at the gate were not alive, everyone left Ye Qing and rushed into the camp.

"Ye Qing, what do you want to do? Let me tell you, do you know that if you kill me, the prime minister will never let you out of Guanshan. Li Ren's pupils began to dilate with fear.

"Isn't the hot Gongji just a good soldier behind the Great Earthquake Pass, and I don't know it?" Ye Qing got the answer he wanted, it seems that Guan Longdao is the one that is waiting for him.

Then Li Ren only felt a sudden heat in his neck, and his hands began to involuntarily tear Ye Qing's hand against his neck, and when Ye Qing took the initiative to let go of his neck, Li Ren felt a burst of difficulty breathing, especially when he saw that in an instant, Ye Qing's armor suddenly had more blood splashing, so he hurriedly covered his neck and mouth, looked at the blood on his hands in horror, and then slowly fell down.
