Chapter 31: The Walls Are Clear

Legend has it that in the past, Dayu controlled the water, and found that there was a black dragon making waves, doing all kinds of evil, not only blocking the way of the water, but also poisoning the people on both sides of the Yellow River. In order to complete the task of dredging the water and eliminate harm for the people, Dayu, with the help of everyone, deceived the black dragon to Fenglong Mountain and sealed him here. Since then, this place has been renamed Fenglong Mountain.

Pang Cong rode on a horse, looking at the strange rocks and verdant mountains and forests in front of him, which made people feel poetic, but he remembered the letter sent by Zhao Yong, and his heart was filled with a burst of sorrow.

According to reason, the attack on Fenglong Mountain should be the task of the Left Route Army, and Zhao Yong, in order to quickly pose a threat to Shiyi, bypassed Fenglong Mountain and handed over the task of attacking this place and the Great Wall of Zhongshan to Pang Cong to prevent the back road from being cut off.

But if you want to pass through this Dragon Mountain, it is not so easy, not to mention that the caves on the mountain are connected, and it is very easy to hide soldiers. And this enemy of Zhongshan obviously knows where his advantage lies, and he is lurking between the mountains and forests, and he easily does not come out to provoke Zhao Jun.

It is because of this that Pang Cong is particularly entangled. Time waits for no one, Zhao Yong asked him to deal with the affairs here, and he must quickly attack the Great Wall of Zhongshan in order to achieve the purpose of containing the troops near the opponent's Great Wall. Otherwise, the longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for Zhao Guo.

"General, we have investigated, and there are no ambushes ahead."

"In other words, the other party still doesn't plan to come out." Pang Cong looked at the undulating mountains and had a headache. This is the most troublesome part, every time you want to fight the opponent's main force, the opponent avoids you. No matter how hard you swing your fist, it will only hit the cotton, and you can't use your strength.

"It seems so. General, let's burn the mountain. ”

"Burning the mountain?" Pang Cong flashed this thought in his mind, and then shook his head, "No, doing this, first, it is easy to arouse the vigilance of the enemy, and second, it will lose the hearts of the people of Zhongshan, which is the next policy." ”

"However, it is not the best policy for us to delay here for a long time. If it is delayed for a longer time, I am afraid that the more Zhongshan will fight back. When the time comes, we will be in a dangerous position. ”

Pang Cong didn't say a word, looking at the marching map. Although he was familiar with every bit of the map, no matter how he looked at it, it still felt so unfamiliar. The order sent by Zhao Yong appeared in front of him again, lingering.

"General?"

"Go back, today's operation is over." Pang Cong said, took the lead in riding the horse, and headed towards the camp.

Black Dragon Cave.

"General, the Zhao army seems to have withdrawn its troops." In the deep cave, a Zhongshan soldier rushed in with a shout, which provoked a lieutenant who was running back and forth in front of several cases to quickly turn around, ran a few steps in front of him, pulled his collar violently, and said loudly: "Is the situation true? The sound echoed throughout the cave.

"It's true, the spies have seen that the generals of Zhao have returned to the camp, and even their soldiers have also returned."

"That's good, that's good." The lieutenant let go of his collar, wiped the cold sweat on his head, and comforted himself: "As long as you don't burn the mountain, it's all right, it's all good." ”

In the past two days, Zhao Jun's search for the mountain really scared him a lot, although the caves in Fenglong Mountain are dense and the trees are huge, but if Zhao Jun really wants to burn the mountain to force them out, it will be very easy. What's more, he is also a lone army, and after reaching a desperate situation, even if he goes to Zhao to be a slave, it is better than dying here. At least one more life, isn't it?

But Zhao Jun seemed to be ready to hold each other, wanting to eat himself, but also reluctant to burn the mountain, which really put him in a dilemma. First, they want to surrender with dignity, and second, no one wants to be a traitor.

"But then again. We're running out of food here. If there are three more days, I am afraid there will be nothing to eat. ”

"Didn't you go out and catch some game?" The lieutenant asked suspiciously.

"Are you confused? In the past two days, the Zhao army has searched the mountains, and the brothers are all in full battle, who dares to go out hunting? Besides, Zhao Jun searched the mountains during the day, and at night, you just want to go hunting, and you don't have that opportunity. ”

"You're the fuck, you're the only one to do." The lieutenant couldn't help but scold. In fact, he also knew in his heart that these were all facts, and it was not that this guy was making excuses. "Did you go to the mountain pass and see it? Do we have reinforcements or food? ”

"I go every day, but now, the Zhao army has blocked the mountain pass, and if our people want to come, they will also risk directly attacking the Zhao army. What's more, this village within a radius of several miles was also taken over by Zhao Jun, and he couldn't find a place to raise food. ”

When the lieutenant heard him, he immediately felt as if he had fallen into a trap. Although I don't know if it's a trap deliberately set by the other party, it seems that my future is uncertain now.

"Wait a little longer, in two days, find an opportunity, we will go to the camp to feed food!" The lieutenant said fiercely.

Back in the camp, Pang Cong put the marching map on several cases, and Zhao Yong's military order has not yet been replied to, because he must have a practical strategy and plan, otherwise even if he replies, Zhao Yong will look down on him.

Suddenly, a corner of his tent was lifted, and his guards walked in with a tray. "General, this is today's meal."

"It's good to put it there, and it's not too late to enjoy it later." He didn't figure out a way, he really didn't have the appetite to eat.

"Well, you'd better enjoy it first." As he spoke, the guard put the tray on a few tables, and while putting it on the meal, he said, "In addition to corn cakes, a bowl of gruel, and a roast rabbit meat, you can try it." ”

Hearing that there was roast rabbit meat, a strange thought flashed through Pang Cong's mind. He raised his head and looked at the rabbit meat placed in front of him, stunned. The rabbit meat is roasted very well, the outside is already golden brown, and the oozing rabbit meat fat is wrapped in a thick layer on the rabbit's body, and it is still dripping down. Although Pang Cong didn't know that if this delicacy was combined with a condiment called cumin, it would be even more addictive, but even so, it was enough to drive the soldiers who were tired of eating corn cakes and boiled vegetables crazy.

However, the guards could clearly see that although Pang Cong seemed to be very interested in this thing, he was obviously different from the soldiers. He just took the rabbit meat and kept looking at it, and he didn't have the idea of eating it immediately. This made him worry for a while, could it be that something was attached to it?

"General, this is what I specially arrested for you when I was patrolling the mountains in the morning. If you don't like it, I'll pour it out for you. With that, he went to grab the rabbit meat.

"Don't move!" Pang Cong shouted. Suddenly, it seemed to be talking to himself, and it seemed to be saying to the guards: "These rabbits, they are all active during the day." ”

The guard didn't know why Pang Cong asked this, so he replied stupidly: "Although there are also at night, but there are very few, and most of them are during the day." ”

"So as long as we go out during the day, we can catch them?"

{"Should... Right. The guards didn't know why Pang Cong would ask that.

"What else can I eat on this mountain?"

"This, it's all game, snakes, birds, etc., it's very common."

Pang Cong listened, nodded, and took a bite of the rabbit meat, which was indeed delicious and a must. As if he had been enlightened by a rabbit, he said to the guards: "Pass the order, and in the next two days, the whole army will go up the mountain for me except for the soldiers guarding the camp?" ”

"Do you still want to search the mountains?" The guard asked, confused.

"Nope." Pang Cong put the rabbit down and said with a smile: "No, it's hunting." ”

On the second day, the whole army of Zhao went out, except for the regular garrison soldiers, all went out, went up the mountain to dig wild vegetables and catch game. Whether it is flying in the sky, running on the ground, or even growing on a tree, it is impossible to escape the doom. The entire mountain forest was tossed by Zhao Jun's chickens, flying dogs, and jumping, like locusts crossing the border, turning the whole land over and over again. Pang Cong even went out in person, and took the guards to run away for the game. He has good archery skills, and he also likes hunting, and he has gained a lot of money in a day. The entire Zhao army camp was immersed in the fun of barbecue.

It was not only the friends on the mountain who were tossed, but also the Zhongshan soldiers lurking in the mountain who were also tossed. In particular, Zhao Jun searched the mountains in the morning every time, so many Zhongshan soldiers had no way even if they wanted to go out hunting. At the same time, their hidden food is also stretched, the army is already out of food, and people's hearts are beginning to float.

"Captain, the brothers are about to be tossed to death by each other, it is better for you to take us out to fight Zhao Jun, it is better than this starving ghost life. What should I do, you say? ”

The lieutenant looked at him with a sad expression on his face, and couldn't help but raise his foot and kick on top of him. He was caught off guard, and after this kick, he retreated again and again, and finally fell to the ground. "If you cry like this again, don't appear in front of me in the future!"

"Yes, the Admiral knows, knows." He stood up in pain, returned to the captain, and said respectfully.

The captain saw that the sky outside had already darkened, and knew that night was coming, so he couldn't help but say: "Zhao Jun has been playing wild meat for a day, and at this time, he should be very tired." Or rather, they are celebrating the harvest today. He said, shaking his head again, "There seems to be a conspiracy in this." Why do I always feel bad? ”

He weighed it for a long time and said, "You go and inform all the spies, pay attention to Zhao Jun's every move, and find out where Zhao Jun's grain and grass are by the way." ”

"You're saying we're going to intercept the camp."

"I can't think of a good way to do it other than that. But before this action, we must raise a few more hearts. If this campaign is successful, maybe we will be able to drag the Zhao army for three and five years, and then we will not be a miscellaneous army. ”

"This brother doesn't feel pity, as long as they can eat, it's fine."

"Don't worry, this time, it's time for us to hunt!"
