As early as when he received the news that Xianbei Dashan Yu and Lian were going south to attack the three cities outside the Saiwai, Guo Bin led his generals to take a look at the routes along the way. Thang Long Valley bore the brunt of Ho Lien's southward route and was the closest route for the army to move south to the three outer cities. If you don't go here, you will have to walk around the mountains, and you will have to walk for three or five days.

Therefore, this Shenglong Valley is really the key to the three cities outside the fortress, and it is a place where soldiers must fight.

When Guo Bin came to Thang Long Valley before, he looked at the surrounding terrain and decided to make this place an important strategic node in this battle. It is surrounded by mountains that are not very high, and it is a nightmare for every general to let an army carrying war materials pass through here. The mountain is covered with trees that Guo Bin doesn't know, which can be used to hide his figure. The Thang Long Valley is a flat valley that runs through this low mountain range, with a width of several tens of meters and a length of about three to five miles. Because of the trimming of Dadan when the sandalwood acacia went south many times, the terrain in the valley here is low and flat, and the slopes on both sides are not very steep.

It can be said that in such a terrain, although it is quite advantageous for the ambush side when the two sides fight, its advantages are also very limited, and it is not very suitable for ambush troops. Because the slopes on both sides were too gentle, it was extremely difficult for the defenders on the top of the hill to prevent the enemy in the valley from climbing the hillside. Moreover, the valley is too wide, and the enemy army has room to toss and turn, and it is too difficult to completely annihilate the enemy army.

However, in the busy grassland outside the Saiwai, it is difficult to find such terrain, what more can you ask for? Moreover, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and it is difficult to say what variables there are until the end of a battle, and where is there any battle that must be won? Otherwise, wouldn't it be better to guard the favorable terrain of the three outer cities? And why go to the trouble of setting up an ambush here?

Therefore, the war materials stored in the three cities outside the Seychelles have already been transported through extremely secret channels. When Guo Bin arrived here for the second time from the three cities outside the Saiwai, he bypassed several ravines and arrived at a base that took several days to build. It's just that there is a shed for rain, and the shed is filled with all kinds of war materials, and the oil, sulfur, arrows, etc., stuff this small base to the brim.

This is the result of more than 20,000 soldiers of the former Yellow Turban Army who came from the Central Plains and a few days of intense busyness. Seeing that all the preparations before the war had been completed in the past few days, Guo Bin couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The Chinese nation is the most industrious, capable, and intelligent nation in the world. The Chinese can accomplish many seemingly impossible tasks, and they can also make the most beautiful works of art with crude and rudimentary tools in extremely harsh environments. Although the construction of this strategic node outside the Cypriot is supported by the sufficient material supply of the three cities outside the Cypriot Fortress, it also fully demonstrates the diligence and wisdom of the Chinese.

After a morning of rapid marching, Mr. Qin, who had already been grinding his inner strands from the saddle, had been thinking hard about how to stop the army. At this time, his heart was full of remorse, why was he so stupid, in order to show off, he actually gave Helian such an idea. It's good now, not to mention finding guilt for himself, but also offending the eldest prince Qianman, although he has Helian's care, but in the future, his life in the Xianbei royal court will not be so good.

After all, he is a Han man, although Da Shan Yu and Lian are very polite to him in order to show his open mind, and he does come up with a lot of good ideas for him, but the nobles in the royal court are not so friendly when they look at him. Especially Qianman, it was a general gaze of a master looking at his own hound, and the contempt and provocation in it were by no means pleasant. Also, people use their own hunting dogs when hunting, but they never show respect for them.

Mr. Qin has always hugged Helian's thighs, and now not only has he got a few beautiful maids with good looks in the Xianbei department, but he has also become a master. The days when he lived in the Central Plains did not have many opportunities for him to learn riding, and although he suffered a lot when he first arrived in the Xianbei Ministry, he never had the opportunity to learn riding. Later, he was appreciated by Helian, and since then, he has no motivation to learn riding, so last night in the handsome tent said that he was good at riding, in addition to the need to save his life, it was pure nonsense.

By the time He Lian led his elite 10,000 iron horsemen to the outside of Thang Long Valley, it was already past noon. Mr. Qin finally found such a good opportunity, and hurriedly came to Helian behind him, and said, "Great Khan, please stay!" ”

He Lianle stopped fighting horses, looked back at Mr. Qin, who was sweating profusely and his body was trembling, and said, "What is the matter with Mr.?" Our army is about to arrive in Thang Long Valley, and all the reasons will be discussed after passing through Thang Long Valley! ”

Mr. Qin, who had already dismounted, was shocked, and hurriedly stretched out his hand, grabbed the reins on the side of Helian's horse's head, and held Helian's saddle with the other hand to hide his trembling legs, and said, "Great Khan, listen to me!" ”

Seeing the fine beads of sweat on Mr. Qin's head, He Lian thought that he really had something important to say, so he hurriedly stopped his horse and asked, "Oh? What is the matter, sir, please tell me. ”

Mr. Qin gasped and said to Helian: "Big... Great Han, now this Shenglong Valley will never be able to enter! ”

He Lianqi said: "Oh? Why is that? Didn't Mr. Zhong say last night that he needed to pass through the Thang Long Valley as soon as possible and rush to the three cities outside the Saiwai to trap the enemy, and couldn't give them the slightest respite? ”

Mr. Qin secretly said in his heart: "This obviously doesn't give me the slightest chance to breathe!" Although he thought so in his heart, he didn't dare to have the slightest disrespect on his face, he took out a sweat towel from his sleeve, wiped the sweat beads on his head, and after recovering a little of the demeanor of a literati, he straightened the scarf on his head, shook the feather fan and said: "The so-called this time, that time." ”

He Lian dismounted and said, "Oh? What does this mean? ”

Mr. Qin hurriedly pulled him to find a clean grass, and said to He Lian: "Great Khan, please sit down first." ”

Seeing Helian sitting down on the spot, he didn't care about the demeanor of a scribe, and he also sat cross-legged on the spot, and before he could speak, he heard Helian say: "Until today, Mr. Fang has the appearance of my Xianbei person." ”

Mr. Qin smiled wryly and sat on the ground, but never wanted to get up again. It wasn't until He Lian threw him an inquiring glance that he was shocked and said, "Da Shan Yu, the thieves came to attack last night, and it was difficult for the army to rest well at night. Now the army braved the cold wind and marched on the grassland for half a day, and it was already sleepy and tired, if there were a little ambush in the valley, wouldn't it all be explained here? ”

Seeing that Helian nodded slowly when he heard this, Mr. Qin himself felt that what he said was really very reasonable, and hurriedly continued: "According to the villain's opinion, for today's plan, we should quickly stop the army and bury the pot to cook." Wait for the scout team to take advantage of this effort and go into the valley to investigate, and then they can enter. The so-called gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, and the big order is valuable in status, how can he easily make a risk! ”

Although he was in a hurry to pass, Helian was not a young man with no experience in war, the so-called emperor was not a hungry soldier, and he could not march with a hungry stomach. Although the Xianbei people grew up on horseback since childhood, whether they were eating and drinking or lazing, they could do it on horseback. Of course, as for the latter, it's disgusting to think about the sight of and urine flying on horseback. However, these elite cavalrymen who could even sleep on horseback were the most trusted subordinates of Helian, so it was more appropriate to stop for a full meal before leaving when it was not too urgent.

And Mr. Qin's concern is also reasonable, now after all, it is through the valley, not galloping on the grassland, and the vision is extremely unwide. Taking advantage of the time when the army is eating, sending scouts into the valley to conduct a survey will not delay much time, and can ensure the safety of the march to the greatest extent, which is a foolproof strategy.

Guo Bin, Xi Zhicai and others were in a very secret observation post, and when they saw that the army of Helian had stopped outside the valley mouth, their hearts began to rise. The arrangement in the valley is no matter how meticulous it is, no matter how well it is disguised, there is a risk of being recognized. If, once discovered, the Helian army no longer entered the valley, but directly sent a few thousand men to rush up from the top of the mountains on both sides, the ambush would become a tough battle, and the danger would be much higher.

Su Shuang said in a low voice: "I didn't expect Helian to be so cautious, fortunately, our arrangement is still secret, so I don't think it will be discovered." ”

Guo Bin nodded and did not speak. I saw a group of scouts of no more than ten people hurrying through the valley, and after a while, they hurried back to the Xianbei camp, thinking that they had already run a circle. However, because the valley is not short, the road in the valley is not as easy to walk as on the flat ground, and it took nearly half an hour to go back and forth.

These scouts chased Guo Ersuo's troops twice last night, and later patrolled around the camp, which can be regarded as a night without sleep. And today, with the advance of the army, where can I rest? Originally, when Da Dan asked the army to stop marching, they were also glad that they finally had a moment to rest their horses, but they also had the drudgery of entering the valley to investigate. But one by one, they wanted to scold Mr. Qin, who made the suggestion, to death, but they didn't dare to disobey Da Shan Yu's order, so they had to receive the general's order and hurriedly inspect it.

After eating lunch and resting for a while in the carriage with the army, the scouts had already turned around. When he had news that everything was normal in the valley, he waved his hand and let the scout leader go down to rest.

He then turned his head to Mr. Qin and said, "Mr. is thoughtful everywhere, he is really my right-hand man, since everything is normal in the valley, then let me enter the valley." ”

Mr. Qin has also recovered now, but it is okay not to rest, but this trimming has made his legs sore, and he can no longer stand up. He Lian saw that he had just fallen down again, and hurriedly stepped forward to support him, saying, "Sir, this is too tired, so I drove my car to Mr. to sit, okay?" ”
