Chapter 52: The Beginning of the Crisis

Liang Xing walked into the big tent, and Li Yan got up and poured a glass of water for Liang Xing.

Liang Xing arched his hand towards Li Yan, "Thank you, General Li." Late at night, I chattered about the general. ”

"Lord Liang is polite, I'll leave in a few hours, what's the important thing that Lord Liang came here late at night, right?"

Liang Xing took out a sheepskin map from his arms, pointed to the map and said to Li Yan: "General, look, I waited for Lejuan, passed through the pseudo-cool Linsong County, and entered Qilian County. At that time, I will enter Wuwei County, the territory of Nanliang, Nanliang has had a lot of dealings with me over the years, and it should not be unfavorable to us, but this Linsong County, I am extremely worried. ”

"Oh? Lord Liang sent an envoy to the Kingdom of Jin many years ago, can you tell Li Yan why he is worried about passing through Linsong County? ”

Liang Xing looked at the sheepskin map, stroked his beard and recalled the scene when he went to the Jin Kingdom, "General, Linsong is at the foot of Qilian Mountain, close to Tuyuhun, which is the starting place of the thief chief Fuqu Mengxun, and it is only a hundred miles away from Zhangye, so Pseudo Liang has stationed at least 5,000 soldiers and horses here. If we pass by during the day, our target is too big, and it is very easy to be discovered by the pseudo-cool thief, so I propose to leave now, and we will be able to pass through Linsong after dawn. ”

"Why is Lord Liang in a hurry? Why don't you take a break before you go? Li Yan asked puzzled.

"The general doesn't know, during the day, the Hun scouts are walking on the ground within a radius of dozens of miles from Linsong, we can't take this big risk, so we must leave now, if we delay again, we will not be able to pass through Linsong before dawn, and once our whereabouts are known by the Hun thieves, it will be a big trouble."

"That's good! Just listen to what Lord Liang says. ”

Li Yan spoke, strode out of the tent, and walked towards Han Qian's tent.

"Brother Han, gather people immediately and set off immediately." When Li Yan walked into the big tent, Han Qian was wiping the military thorn in his hand in the dim firelight.

"Huh? Childe, aren't we going to rest here for the night? Han Qian put away the military thorn in his hand and asked with a surprised expression.

"No! The situation has changed, and we must pass through Linsong County before dawn, otherwise once we are discovered by the Huns, the consequences will be unpredictable. ”

When Han Qian heard this, he hurriedly got up, "Okay, Gongzi wait for a while, Han Qian will go and call the brothers up." ”

After a while, Han Qian walked in.

"Childe, everyone is together. It's time to go. Han Qian said in a low voice.

"Good! Brother Han waited for me to say goodbye to my uncle. ”

Li Yan walked out of the camp tent and walked towards Linghu Qian's big tent, and the two personal soldiers at the door of Linghu Qian's big tent did not stop Li Yan when they saw Li Yan coming.

"Yan'er, are you here? Is there anything wrong with this late hour? As soon as Li Yan entered the camp, Ling Huqian held a book in his hand and raised his head and said.

"Uncle, you haven't slept yet? Yan'er is here to bid you farewell, try to pass through Linsong before dawn to avoid encountering the Hun thieves head-on, Yan'er is one step ahead. Li Yan saluted Linghu Qian and said with a smile on his face.

"Oh? By the way, my uncle forgot, now you can only go to Linsong County and then Qilian, the Linsong Huns are well defended, and it is indeed easy to be discovered during the day. After listening to this, Ling Huqian suddenly realized

"Uncle take care, Yan'er retires."

Linghu moved up, looked at Li Yan's back, and said, "Hmm! Be careful, that girl is waiting for you to come back? ”

"Yes!" Li Yan was stunned for a moment, and then responded.

After Li Yan came out of Linghu Qian's big tent, Han Qian and the others were sitting on horseback and waiting for Li Yan's order.

"Let's go!" Li Yan jumped with a knife, looked back at the Le Juan camp, and said loudly.

At night, with only a faint glimmer of moonlight, Li Yan and his party rushed south along the avenue.

"General Li, you have entered the territory of Linsong in front, you must be cautious." Liang Xingce immediately stepped forward and admonished.

Li Yan nodded and said, "Okay!" As soon as Lord Liang has a situation, you must stay by my side, so that you can take care of it. ”

"There is General Lao Li, we have to take the trail, here is the Eagle's Beak Gorge thirty miles ahead, the terrain there is dangerous, the two sides will become narrower and narrower when passing through the canyon, because there are huge rocks in a radius of several miles, and there is no one nearby, so the Hun thieves will basically not notice here." Liang Xing looked ahead and took the lead in walking towards the path next to him.

"Hurry up, follow Lord Liang." Li Yan said to the Blood Wolf Guard behind him.

More than half an hour passed, and it was less than five miles away from the Eagle's Beak Gorge at this time, and all the way, the rugged mountain road was full of huge stones, and at this time I could already hear the whirring wind blowing in the Eagle's Beak Gorge.

Because the Eagle's Beak Gorge is in a north-south direction, the south exit is curved and narrow, and the north wind blows, whirring, like a tiger howling and a wolf howling.

At this time, hundreds of Huns were guarding the exit of Eagle's Beak Gorge.

These Huns were at least ten zhang high from the bottom of the canyon, and as long as people and horses passed below, they could be seen at a glance.

Rows of huge stones have been pushed to the edge of the cliff, and many Huns are already asleep in place. If these boulders fall from here, the centaurs passing through the canyon will be smashed into meatloaf.

"Hey, do you think this commander is stupid, it's not good to be an errand in the palace, I have to take this messenger, and I have been here for a few days when I come to this place where birds don't, and I haven't even seen a ghost." A Hun with a long pockmarked face poked a man with a terrifying scar on his face next to him.

"It's just that I eat dry food every day, and my mouth is sore, it's really fucking unlucky. Bah! The scar-faced Hun sat on the ground and spat at the bottom of the cliff.

"Come on! I look at you, are you looking at the hooves of the Emerald Red Mansion? Ha ha. The pock-faced Huns joked.

"Humph! So what? Don't you go there often, too? The king said that as long as Li Yan's dog head was brought back, the brothers would each be rewarded with one hundred taels of gold. At that time, the top brand Cui'er in the Cuihong Mansion will be mine. Ha ha. ”

Suddenly, a Hun man in armor walked over, and the horsewhip in his hand was whipped on the Scar-faced Hun, "What are you two yelling about?" If you let Li Yan and his party go, see if Lao Tzu doesn't break the bones of the two of you, and don't you keep an eye on Lao Tzu? ”

"Yes, yes, Commander, please calm your anger." The two hurriedly begged for mercy.

Scarface watched the commander walk into the tent, and said coldly: "Cut, look at that bear, if you don't dedicate your sister to Lord Hou as a concubine, how can you get him in the position of commander?" Hum! ”

"Shhhh Be quiet, you don't want to die, I still want it. Mazi kicked Scarface next to him.

"Alright, alright! Look close, that's a hundred taels of gold! ”

Li Yan and his entourage have begun to enter the Eagle's Beak Gorge, the entire Eagle's Beak Gorge is about two miles long, there is not a single inch of grass, there are cliffs on both sides, and from time to time there are gravel blown down by the strong wind, smashing on the boulders in the canyon to make a huge noise.

"Stop! Don't move. Li Yan suddenly shouted softly.

"Childe, what's wrong?"

Li Yan looked at it and held his breath, looking at the straight cliff in front of him, as if he felt something was wrong, but he didn't see anything abnormal.

It's almost out of the Eagle's Beak Gorge, the wind is getting more and more intense, and the cold wind of the call sign is shivering.

"Wei Liang, you take a few brothers to investigate. If there is a situation, report it in time, all dismount, and do not move in place. Li Yan commanded.
