Thang Long Valley is a very inconspicuous small valley, the mountains on both sides stretch, only a few tens of meters wide in the middle of the gorge is still flat, it is the only place to pass through from the Xianbei royal court to the south to the Central Plains. At that time, Tanshi Huai Shan Yu always went south to herd horses, and always had to pass through here, which can be regarded as a witness to the great cause of Da Dan Yu Tanshi Huai's life. Therefore, later herdsmen called this place the Shenglong Valley, alluding to the meaning of the dragon ascending to the nine heavens after this valley.

He Lian learned from Tanshi Huai everywhere, and this time he went south to attack the three cities outside the Saiwai, which was not only a battle for him to seize the endless wealth of the three cities outside the Saiwai and strengthen the tribe, but also an important battle for him to become famous in the grassland and show his great martial arts to the world. In this battle, he will drive to the three cities outside the Saiwai with a crushing attitude, and declare to the world that he and Lian are the successors of the real big single Yu Tanshi Huai, and the second Tanshi Huai on the grassland has stood up since then.

Although the three cities outside the Saiwai are not very numerous, because of their special status as a trade city, they are closely connected with the various departments of the grassland, and they are widely implicated, so its influence and symbolism outside the Saiwai are extremely significant. Once the three cities outside the Saiwai are taken, it can cause great shocks on the grassland, and the consolidation of Yu Helian's position outside the Saiwai is of great strategic significance.

Therefore, this time it is imperative to go south to attack the three cities outside the Saiwai. Walking along the line of Shenglong Valley is not only a military need, but also has an extremely important symbolic significance. Since leaving this Shenglong Valley, he and Lian have soared into the sky, and since then, the dragon has soared for nine days, and will never be criticized by the world again. Yes, since Helian succeeded to the throne, a series of measures have indeed made many nobles and elders on the grassland criticized, and even the bad incident of the split of Xianbei in the west has occurred.

In his heart, this is no wonder of him, because since he has become the great Danyu of Xianbei and the successor of Tanshi Huai, he needs to have the corresponding pomp and power. However, his series of actions to concentrate power and accumulate wealth to strengthen the tribe were considered to be tyrannical and greedy. Therefore, until now, although it has been more than three years since the death of Tanshi Huaishan Yu, the prestige of Helian among the Xianbei people has still not been established. Now that he has finally integrated the internal affairs of his tribe, he urgently needs a big victory to boost his morale and stabilize his position, and the three cities outside the Saiwai are the stepping stones on his path to ascending to the dragon, and this battle will be his famous battle.

When the army marched fifty miles from the Thang Long Valley, and it was already dark, he ordered his troops to camp there, and when it was dawn tomorrow, they would assemble the army through the Thang Long Valley. It is not an exaggeration to be cautious no matter how cautious a soldier is, and Helian is also a person who knows the soldiers, so he naturally knows a lot about these details during the march.

The Xianbei army is all on the horse for the people, dismounted into the army, they live all the year round in pursuit of water and grass, and carry tents on the carriage with them. Now that the army is heading south, the conditions are not as loose and free as they were in the days of nomadism, but they are only a few people crammed into a tent. However, the herdsmen have long been accustomed to setting up tents, so the camp was properly set up after a meal. After a while, I saw bonfires everywhere on the grassland, accompanied by the sound of roasting beef and mutton everywhere, and the aroma of barbecued meat also wafted around, although there was no cumin this high-end condiment, after sprinkling a little salt, it still teased people's taste buds and long-suppressed hearts with its slightly barbaric way of eating and rough atmosphere.

Although they were on the march, the herdsmen on the steppe were still optimistic and cheerful, so as bonfires were lit everywhere, the army was surrounded by tribes. The Xianbei soldiers, who quickly turned from herdsmen to cavalry, first skillfully swirled off a layer of lamb that had been roasted with fat with a sharp waist knife, then pinched a small handful of salt from the salt bag they carried with them, and then put the roasted meat slices into their mouths with small waist knives.

Guo Er, who was lying in the distance, looked at the jubilant appearance of the Helian army camp as if it was a picnic, and couldn't help but sneer, and couldn't help but look down on the Xianbei army in front of him more and more.

A soldier behind him said in a very low voice: "Second master, do you want to fight?" ”

Don't doubt the title of this soldier, all the ordinary soldiers in the army of Fulong Villa are very respectful and obedient to the five personal guards around Guo Bin, from Guo Da to Guo Wu. Because the method of dividing and attacking in groups of five people, which is widely spread in the army today, was originally handed down by them.

This method of warfare originated from Hua Tuo of Jingmuro Mountain, although it is easy to learn and practice, but the profound and mysterious part is to practice the spearmanship of a hundred birds and a phoenix, and the well-informed Zhao Yun is also full of praise and has benefited a lot. At the beginning, Guo Bin and Dong Xing'er were attacked and injured by the green-robed stranger outside Luoyang City, Guo Da and the five of them escorted Guo Bin all the way to Jingmuro Mountain for medical treatment.

This method turned out to be not marksmanship, but boxing. Martial arts practice to the realm of Hua Tuo, grass, trees, bamboos and stones can be soldiers, the use of magic is all in one heart, the hand is a spear or a fist, the difference is not big. However, this set of methods of dividing and attacking together was originally only created by a few disciples when they practiced with him.

Those disciples had extraordinary martial arts, but although they joined forces to attack Hua Tuo, they were still unable to overcome them repeatedly. Just when they were discouraged, Hua Tuo had a flash of inspiration, and he devoted himself to studying for more than a month, and Fang worked out a cooperation method for several people to attack together. This set of methods, can be two, but three, in theory can be as many as 10,000 people, the most important thing is the practice of footwork and the mastery of rhythm, as for what kind of blade is used in the hand, but it is not very demanding. It's just that when Guo Da Wuren was taught at the beginning, because they used spears and had the foundation of Guo Bin's spelling technique, Hua Tuo taught them a few simple marksmanship techniques to match this set of methods of dividing and attacking together. However, it is such an unintentional work that has benefited them immensely.

Since its inception, the tribe of Fulong Villa has been a unit of five people, and they go into the mountains to hunt, which is not only training, but also training. Moreover, the cooperation of five people on the chaotic and complex battlefield is already the limit that ordinary people can control, otherwise it will be a bit of a rush if there are many people. Moreover, the difficulty of training also increases exponentially.

Therefore, Guo Bin decided to practice this method in a group of only five people, and the first person who was responsible for teaching this set of methods was naturally Guo Da Wuren, who had been personally instructed by Hua Tuo. By now, about 100 people who have been personally instructed by Guo Dawu have become instructors and are the backbone of the army. At the same time, Guo Da and others were also widely respected in the army because of the reason for teaching martial arts and the glory of being Guo Bin's personal bodyguard. The soldiers all call him "master", Guo Da is the uncle, Guo Wu is the fifth master, and Guo Er is naturally the second master.

Guo Er glanced at the soldier and said, "Don't fight!" The lord said that we would not be able to harass them until they were all asleep. ”

The man glanced at Guo Er's eyes, and he was apprehensive for a while, and he hurriedly lowered his head to be taught.

Seeing this, the accompanying squad leader hurriedly said: "Second master, why does the lord want to teach me to ambush here and harass the main force of the Xianbei people?" Naturally, you can't eat it, but isn't this a startling snake? Wouldn't it be better if we waited for them to enter the ambush circle and attacked together without them knowing anything, and caught him off guard? ”

Guo Erle was happy, opened his big mouth and laughed in a low voice, and said, "You kid, now you are starting to use your brain?" ”

The squad leader was a little shy, and said with the back of his head: "The second master said that he was joking, isn't there illiteracy in the army, and the villain now knows a few words, and he has also listened to the little gentlemen of Yangzhai County at night to talk about military books." ”

There was nothing to do, so Guo Er simply chatted with him a few more words. nodded at the moment and said, "Very good, do you know that whether it is literacy in the army or night school teaching, it is the lord's idea?" ”

The squad leader said: "That's natural, the lord is kind to me and reinvented, where are there still illiterate people in the army today?" As long as you are a soldier, when you return home, the big girls in the neighborhood are all vying to decide on family affairs, and they all say that they are literate and hyphenated as soldiers, and they are promising! Isn't this the kindness of the lord? ”

Guo Erdao: "Yes, the lord is shining brightly, with a long-term vision, how can you and I understand his old man's decision?" It was only when I was here that I received the instructions of the military advisor to understand the deep meaning of the lord's move. ”

The squad leader blurted out, "What is the lord for?" ”

Although these words lacked respect, Guo Er didn't blame him much. On the contrary, because his question was just right, it could effectively promote the speaker's desire to speak, and his heart was happy, and he said: "This kid is not bad, but this sentence is on the point." I didn't understand it at the time, but when I was leaving, the military advisor told me that I must disturb the enemy in the second half of the night, so that they could not sleep well. ”

The squad leader looked at Guo Er with a look of adoration and said, "Ah! This is a good idea, if you harass them for ten days and half a month, so that they can't eat well and can't sleep, where will they have the energy to offend me in the three cities? ”

Guo Er patted the black-faced squad leader on the shoulder and said, "Hey, your kid's head turns fast, what's your name?" ”

The squad leader smiled and said, "Back to the chief's words, my name is Tie Niu, my surname is Zhao, and I don't have a big name." When the lord entered the household registration, he simply reported the name Zhao Tieniu in a hurry. ”

Guo Er nodded and said, "That's what I told the military advisor at the time, but the advisor said that my method is not impossible, but it is not in line with the overall situation." ”

Zhao Tieniu looked confused and said, "Oh? What is the rationale for this? The military advisor is talking in a hurry, is it okay or not? ”

Guo Er slapped him on the head and said viciously: "The military advisor has already discussed it with the lord, how can there be any reason?" ”

Then he looked thoughtful, touched his chin and said: "However, I also wondered at the time, if I can harass them for eight or nine days, I can't even go to the three cities outside the fortress!" But what's the use of harassing the enemy here, and in another day they will be able to enter the Thang Long Valley? Besides, if we do this, isn't that clearly a surprise to the snake? Hey! Guess what the military advisor said? ”

"How?" The soldiers who could hear it asked in unison.

It was originally quite quiet in the dark night, but this sound was quite loud, even Guo Er was startled, and hurriedly gestured down, saying, "Hey! At that time, the military advisor told me that the so-called imaginary is real, and the real is virtual, and the lord deliberately let them know! ”

Zhao Tieniu had experience at this time, and said carefully: "Since the lord said it, it is naturally right." But isn't it important to use troops by surprise and attack them unprepared, and if they know about it, then how can it be good? ”

Guo Er said with a smug face: "You can't guess this, right?" The lord just wants to make them think that we are going to harass them along the way, so that Ho Lian will not be prepared in Thang Long Valley, and then we can take advantage of the opportunity! ”
