Chapter Twenty-Eight: There Is a Way in the Heart

"Enchantress, nonsense! Seeing the scorch marks on the map, Guo Yan drew his sword in anger, and scolded the Longyan witch: "Between Yinping and Jiangyou, there are mountains and mountains, where is the road to march? Lie to confuse the people, suffer death! ”

"Mother! Help, General! The Longyan witch screamed, hurriedly hid behind Li Wei, and cried: "General, that is indeed the path that God has guided you to march, if you follow it, you will definitely be able to achieve great success." ”

"I'll let you bewitch the people!" Guo Yan was even more furious when he heard this, and swung his sword to slash the dragon witch, Li Wei quickly drew his sword and opened it, rescued his lover and life coach, and shouted: "Guo Yan, she is my person, you dare to kill her?" ”

Guo Yan scolded angrily: "Li Wei, you are simply confused, that demon girl is talking nonsense, you also believe that there is no way from Yinping to Jiangyou, and more than 700 miles of land is deserted, how can you enter the army?" Let me kill this demon girl who shakes the hearts of the army! ”

"General, I didn't say anything to confuse the people, that is indeed the path that God pointed out to you." The Longyan witch didn't dare to retract her words, so she had to insist, and leaned on Li Wei's shoulder and cried so much that it was very cute.

"The road is made by people!" Li Dao was also angry that Guo Yan was going to kill him without his consent, and insisted: "If there are more people walking, it will naturally become a road." I'm going to take this road and attack Jiangyou! ”

"You're crazy!" Guo Yan yelled: "Even if you are crazy, we will not accompany you to die, we will go to you by yourself." "Okay, I'll go by myself, I can't share the credit with you!" For a few nonsense words of the witch of Longyan, Li Dao and Guo Yan, the old comrades-in-arms who lived and died together, turned against each other, and met each other with swords in the camp of Dong Zhuojun's Third Army regardless of the impact, Fan Chou and Zhang Ji hurriedly came over to persuade them, but Li Dao and Guo Yan were angry, and they could listen to it, but they were just scolding each other with a red face and a thick neck.

"Guo Yan, you wait, as long as you lay down Jiangyou, you can take cotton and bamboo and pound it straight into Chengdu, this immortal achievement given to me by God, I must take it."

"Do your big dream of spring and autumn, there is no road between Yinping and Jiangyou, even if there is, it is just some sheep intestine trails, Li Dao, you are ready to starve to death on the road!"

After the quarrel between the two Dong Zhuojun warriors who crawled out of the pile of dead people together, Li Dao angrily took the 10,000 flying bear army of the headquarters, prepared all the tools for opening the mountain such as grain, grass and hoes and chisels, and brought the Longyan Witch to hand over the command of the Third Army to Fan Chou and Zhang Ji, and ordered the deputy generals Li Meng and Wang Xiang to open the way forward, and actually took Kong Hangu and went straight to Yinping.

Fan Chou, Zhang Ji and others did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly flew pigeons to pass a letter to Kang Peng, reporting the movements of Li Daojun, hoping that Kang Peng would send someone to stop it. But it snowed heavily, and the speed of the carrier pigeon was affected, and when the carrier pigeon flew to Dong Zhuojun's camp, it was already the fourth day of Li Dao's departure.

"Oops!" After reading the emergency letter of Fan Chou and others, Fa Zheng, who had lived in Yizhou for a period of time, was the first to shout: "I know the terrain in the Yinping area, all of which are cliffs, dense forests and rocks, and there is no way to do it. ”

Chen Gong also said angrily: "Li Dao is so bold, he doesn't listen to the good words of the generals, but he listens to the witches' ghost words, he doesn't take the middle of the road, but he goes to the remote dead road, and the 10,000 army will be buried in his hands in vain." ”

Even Jia Xu persuaded Kang Peng: "Taishi, quickly send someone to recover Li Dao, and you can save the lives of most of the soldiers, you can't let us carefully train the soldiers to accompany Li Dao's stupid person to death!" ”

All the strategists objected in unison, and they all agreed that Li Wei was killing himself, Kang Peng didn't say a word on the surface, but he exclaimed in his heart, "Is this the will of heaven?" Could the miracle of Deng Ai's smuggling of Yinping be on that kid Li Dao? This is too coincidental and incredible! ”

After pondering for a long time, Kang Peng slowly said under the expectant gaze of the strategists: "You are all wrong, there is a road in Yinping, you can pass Jiangyou and Chengdu." ”

Dong Zhuojun's strategists were all shocked, and asked in unison, "Where is the road?" ”

"The road is in my heart!" Kang Peng said in a deep voice: "If you have a heart, there is a way, Li Wei has a road in his heart to go from Yinping to Jiangyou, as long as his heart is enough, there is this road!" After that, Kang Peng ignored the surprised looks of the strategists, and directly ordered: "Pass the order, the Dark Moon Group lurking in Jiangyou in Yizhou will dispatch people to Jiangyou to prepare to meet Li Dao!" ”

The wind and snowflakes hit people's faces, the cold needles pierced like blunt knives, everywhere there was a white expanse, the mountains and rivers almost all became the world of ice sculpture and snow, into a sea of snow, the white snow almost reached the waist, every step forward had to pay many times more effort than usual, but the road was on the cliff, when the traveler stood unsteadily, or stepped on the slippery, it was likely to fall off the cliff, fall to pieces. When Li Dao led the army into Yinping for three days, Li Dao's soldiers never saw people again, even birds and beasts were rarely seen, and between the vast heaven and earth, it seemed that only this team supporting swords and guns was left.

Li Wei didn't know that Kang Peng was already arranging support to meet him, he has now begun to regret his risky move, in the past three days, the troops have advanced no more than 100 miles, not only the march needs to dig mountains and open roads, build bridges and pavilions to march, the bad weather has brought a lot of trouble to Dong Zhuojun, the heavy snow covers the ground and can see that it can be advanced, there are cliffs and ditches, from time to time there are soldiers who fall to their deaths, and from time to time there are soldiers who are frostbitten by the severe cold, in just three days, more than 100 soldiers have closed their eyes forever on the way forward, even Li Dao himself does not know, if you can really reach Jiangyou, how many people can your army win, and how much combat power can you have left.

Li Dao didn't think about retreating, but thinking of Boss Dong's hideous and terrifying fat face, and the consequences that he would face when he lost his troops and went back, Li Dao had no choice but to continue to move forward, and tried his best to comfort the soldiers who had already shown signs of commotion, and depicted some beautiful scenes that he didn't even believe in, such as beating Jiangyou to the empty rear of Yizhou, so that he could enjoy the gold, silver, beauties and wine of Yizhou before the brother troops, so as to boost morale.

After another five days, Dong Zhuojun has completely penetrated into the barren land, and he can't even see half of the sheep intestine path, and every time the army goes further, he has to build a road before he can advance, and the snow is getting heavier and heavier, the climate is getting colder, and the severe cold makes Dong Zhuojun's soldiers frostbite more, and Li Zhuojun's heart is also more panicked, and he retreats in his heart several times, almost wanting to order the retreat. The Longyan witch saw Li Wei's thoughts, and also understood that if the troops returned empty-handed, anyone could have a chance to live, but she was talking nonsense about the military and she would die without a place to be buried, and only by continuing to move forward could there be a chance to live.

After another five days, the heavy snow finally stopped, but the climate was even colder, and there was nowhere to camp in the barren mountains and mountains for warmth, and the soldiers of Li Dao's army finally froze to death, and the sergeant was even more angry. In order to appease the soldiers, Li Wei arranged for the long-spoken witch to pray for the sergeant's blessing, and the long-said witch really went out in order to survive, and even wore only a light veil in the ice and snow to pray for the sergeant's dancing god, and finally calmed down the commotion.

After seventeen or eight days of marching, the snowflakes fell again, Li Dao's army was still trekking in the mountains and mountains in the ice and snow, Jiangyou City still had no shadow, and 10,000 Dong Zhuojun soldiers had frozen to death and more than 1,000 people died, but this time there was no Li Dao and Longyan Witch to appease, and no soldiers made any more commotion, because everyone knew in their hearts that the remaining military rations could only last for ten days at most, and stopping or returning the same way now was a dead end, and only by continuing to move forward could there be a chance to live.

On the twenty-fourth day, Li Dao's army only had two days of military rations left, and the army had been reduced by more than 2,000 troops, but in front of them, there was a towering mountain ridge, and there was a monument under the ridge. This is the monument of Jiangyou County, and this is Ferris Ridge! It's Jiangyou County, and we've arrived! ”

"It's here, it's here!" Although it was still snowing more and more in the sky and the climate was still so cold, the exhausted soldiers of Li Daojun suddenly left all these behind, and shouted like crazy.

"Up the hill!" Li Jiqiang held back the tears that almost burst out of his eyes, and ordered: "Over this mountain, there is Jiangyou in front of you." ”

The steepness of the Motianling is far more than any mountain that Li Daojun has passed through before, and even the war horses can not go up, Li Dao decisively ordered to slaughter all the war horses, let the soldiers have a full meal, abandon all useless substances, climb the mountain with vines, but to the top of the mountain, Li Daojun was all dumbfounded, and then knelt on the ground and wailed, it turned out that the other side of the mountain was even more precipitous, almost all of them were right-angled cliffs, and they were all hard granite stones, and there was no way to dig down the ridge.

"Twenty-four days of hard work, the lives of more than 2,000 brothers, were wasted." Li Meng, the deputy general of Li Dao, cried: "I can't go down, I can't go down." Infected by Li Meng, Dong Zhuojun's soldiers remembered the hard work on the road, and they all wailed, regretting the failure. Seeing the soldiers crying bitterly, Li Wei thought that because of his stubbornness, he even asked 10,000 soldiers to accompany him to death, and his eyes were red, and he also wanted to cry loudly.

At this time, the witch of Longyan, who was already as thin as a bamboo pole, stood up, wrapped a layer of felt around her body, and said loudly: "You are still not men? If there is no road in the mountains, will there be no road in your hearts? After walking in the snow for more than 20 days and walking for more than 700 miles, you have gone through so many hardships and obstacles, can this small cliff in front of you stop you? Being reprimanded by a woman like this, Dong Zhuojun's soldiers stopped crying and turned their eyes to the dragon word witch.

The long hair that was blown by the wind and the shriveled lips moved slightly, and she spat out a series of words that even men were ashamed of, "It's a man's, just like me, wrapped in felt, and rolled down this cliff." ”

Encouraged by the Longyan Witch, Dong Zhuojun's soldiers stood up one after another, wrapped in felt in her appearance, and the Longyan Witch, who had already gambled on life and death, was about to roll off the cliff, Li Dao grabbed her and said lightly: "I'm the general, I'll go first." After that, Li Wei was about to approach the cliff, but the witch of Long Yan grabbed him again, and kissed him affectionately on his chapped lips in front of the army.

After a long time, the Longyan witch let go of Li Dao, and said with a blushing face: "Thank you for believing in me, if we can continue to live, I will definitely marry you as a concubine." ”

Li Dao laughed and said proudly: "What if you can continue to live? What do you do as my concubine? We will definitely live, and I will marry you, but not as a concubine, but as a wife. ”

In the applause of Dong Zhuojun's soldiers, Li Wei strode to the side of the cliff, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and then rolled down with his body, and then the Longyan witch, Li Meng, Wang Fang, high-ranking generals, soldiers with felt and bodies rolled down, and soldiers without felt used ropes to climb rocks and trees, and slowly climbed down the cliff step by step.

"We're alive! We're alive! When all the Dong Zhuojun soldiers climbed down the Sky Ridge, the cheers of Dong Zhuojun's soldiers sounded under the mountain, it turned out that the wind and snow also had a benefit, a large snowflake piled up more than half a person's high snow layer under the ridge, which greatly slowed down the strength of Dong Zhuojun's soldiers, although some people unfortunately fell to their deaths, but the Dong Zhuojun soldiers who went down the mountain alive were as many as 7,000 people.

After the Motianling, it is the flat Sichuan Basin, Dong Zhuojun's march suddenly accelerated a lot, but the line did not count miles, the sky was already dark, at the same time Dong Zhuojun soldiers found that there was a Yizhou army camp in front of the tun, Li Dao was shocked, and hurriedly sent people to investigate, but found that the camp gate was closed, and there was not even a scout and outpost, but the camp could hear the sound of singing and dancing from time to time. It turned out that Zhuo Ying, the general of the Yizhou army, was ordered by Jia Long to guard the Yinping trail, but Zhuo Ying paid for the Yinping to have a 700-mile cliff block, secretly laughing Jia Long was timid and hearty, and did not set up a village in a dangerous place, and moved Dazhai to a basin without danger to defend, and saw that it rained heavily for dozens of days in a row, and it was even more unscrupulous, only drinking and having fun in the village every day, enjoying the beautiful singers, and not restraining the soldiers, resulting in loose military discipline, the soldiers did not patrol and did not stand guard, and in the dark night, even Dong Zhuojun had forced to the front of the village did not know.

After the scouts found out the situation of the Yizhou army camp, Li Wei, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, sneered for a while, and organized the soldiers to say: "Brothers, there is Jiangyou in front, but there is a group of wastes who are drinking and having fun to stop us, what should we do?" ”

"Kill!"
