From the Beihai Mansion of the Jin Kingdom to the south of the hundred miles, you can come to the first Xiongguan of the Northern Jin Dynasty - Canglan Pass. Canglan Pass is known as "the world's first Xiongguan, can be ten thousand soldiers and horses", of course, this is a bit exaggerated, but it can also be seen that this Canglan Pass is important to the Jin Kingdom. Canglan Pass is more than ten zhang high, the wall is thick, the pass is surrounded by trees on both sides, verdant and dripping, but even if it is this seemingly very beautiful woods, I don't know how many ambush traps are hidden. Therefore, the poem Saint Pan Yue also described this Canglan Pass in the poem as "800 miles across the North Pass, the wall on the side of the horse is particularly cold, and the Canglan is a hand for Tian Jin, which can survive for 300 years." ”

Canglan Pass is a hundred miles away from the middle of Beihai Mansion, and there is no other defensive pass or Gaochi Kuofu, so once Canglan Pass is broken, the Northern Jin Dynasty will be very dangerous.

Out of this Canglan Pass, and then go south less than a hundred miles, you can reach the narrow valley, and if you go out of this narrow valley, it is an endless plain, and the salt city is at the other end of this plain. Originally, the Jin State was strong, with mountains and rivers, and countless lands, but he didn't expect that this Lin Yi was too brave, and he actually captured more than ten large and small cities and passes in just one month, which seemed to be about to threaten Yancheng.

Once Yancheng is broken, then Lin Yi can drive straight in, kill this narrow valley, and cross the narrow valley to reach Canglan Pass in a few days, then at that time, Jin Guoke will really be beaten to the door by others, so it is no wonder that Emperor Xuan of Jin is so anxious, and wants to send Mr. Panlong to the front line non-stop to relieve the danger of Yancheng.

At this time, Song Ruoyu's army was in this narrow valley.

After Song Ruoyu accepted the emperor's order that day, he prepared the army overnight, counted the grain and grass and sent the troops, and the army crossed the Canglan Pass in a few days, and came to this narrow valley.

Song Ruoyu was placed in the carriage of the Chinese army, his eyes were slightly closed at this time, his hands were folded in front of his chest, and he nodded and shook his head from time to time, as if he was asleep. After a short time, a general outside the carriage was heard: "Sir, we will leave this narrow valley at once, if it is late today, can we order the army to rest in this valley today, and reorganize the soldiers and horses to march forward tomorrow?" ”

Song Ruoyu heard this, he opened his eyes slightly, and then opened the curtain of the car and saw the sky outside, at this time it was really late, gradually drowsy, and it was the autumn and winter season, the air was quite humid, and the west wind in the valley was gusting, and there was a trace of desolation and weirdness.

Song Ruoyu paused, and then said slowly to the sergeant outside the car: "Order the army, set up camp on this valley slope, arrange the soldiers and horses, let the soldiers have a good rest, and tomorrow the third watch will make dinner, and the fifth watch will set off." After finishing speaking, this Song Ruoyu frowned, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

When the general heard this, he just felt that Mr. was too cautious, Yancheng in front of him has not yet been lost, although General Zhang Yao was defeated, but fortunately, most of the men and horses still exist, and he only needs to hold Yancheng tightly, as long as Yancheng is not lost, then Lin Yi will not want to come to this rear even if he has inserted his wings. But the general did not dare to talk about it in front of the gentleman like this, so he arched his hand and said, "No," and then went forward to give orders to the battalions.

Song Ruoyu thought about it at this time, and then lifted the curtain again and shouted to another general: "You wait for He Zhubo to repair a letter to General Zhang, and order him to obey my orders, never be reckless, and must hold on to Yancheng and wait for our army to come, so that the danger in Yancheng can be solved." ”

He Zhubo, formerly known as He Yuan, is the marching master of this army. Although this Song Ruoyu was called Mr. by the officials of the Jin State, he actually only accepted three apprentices. This person is General Zhang Yaozhang, although this Zhang Yao is from Song Ruoyu's family, but his personality is very different from that of Mr., Song Ruoyu is wise and cautious, thoughtful and comprehensive, but this Zhang Yao likes to take risks, is good at scheming and has a reckless personality, and is easily provoked. This second person is the marching master Bo He Yuan, this He Yuan has a bit of Song Ruoyu's shadow, and his actions are also thoughtful and resourceful, but the fly in the ointment is that he has never personally led the troops to fight and lacks actual combat experience, of course, this is no wonder to him, after all, the power of the Jin Kingdom is all on this Song Ruoyu's body. And the third person is one of the famous four gentlemen of the Jin Kingdom, Fu Changjun Pang Zhong. Pang Zhong is resourceful and good at fighting, and it can be said that he has the common advantages of Zhang Yao and He Yuan, but Pang Zhong is ......

Song Ruoyu was thinking about it, and then he felt that the carriage seemed to stop slowly, and then a person outside the door said, "Sir, Master He asks to see you." ”

When Song Ruoyu heard this, he slowly got up, walked to the outside of the carriage, lifted the curtain and saw that He Yuan was standing next to him with a respectful face, waiting for him, so he smiled and said to He Yuan: "He is thin, but there is something?" "In front of all the soldiers, you can't call your disciples too closely, you can only call them from the bright side.

When He Yuan heard this, he arched his hand to this Song Ruoyu and said: "Mr. asked me to repair the book to that Zhang Yao, not to mention that the relationship between me and Zhang Yao is not good, this Zhang Yao is very self-controlled, and his temperament is arrogant, if Mr. tells him several times, the disciple is afraid that this Zhang Yao will be stubborn and not listen to Mr.'s advice." ”

Although He Yuan and Zhang Yao are the same disciples and worship under this Song Ruoyu's disciple together, they don't understand their personalities and habits at all, which leads to a lot of differences between them, and they are not used to each other. Song Ruoyu knew about this, so he would often help and help them work hard to ease the relationship, but it had not worked well, which Song Ruoyu also had a headache.

When Song Ruoyu heard this, he smiled and said to Na He Yuan: "Don't worry, although Zhang Yao has an arrogant temperament and is reckless, he will still attach importance to my advice." He has been leading troops for many years, and he must know this truth better than most people, what is right and what is wrong, and he is still measured. Seeing that He Yuan still looked suspicious, he also laughed a few times, then got out of the carriage and approached He Yuan's side, paused, patted He Yuan's shoulder with his hand and said: "Besides, you and Zhang Yao have always had a gap, if Zhang Yao learned that you could take such trouble to inform him, he would definitely not do anything too willful, maybe the relationship between the two of you can be eased." ”

Knowing that Song Ruoyu had already made up his mind, He Yuan didn't talk anymore, but said to Song Ruoyu respectfully: "Sir, then I'll do it." So he rode his horse and galloped forward in the blink of an eye.

Song Ruoyu looked at He Yuan's distant back and was silent, and looked up at the narrow valley. Surrounded by mountain cliffs on both sides, its potential is very dangerous, accompanied by dense forest and shrubs, strange and strange stones. The fog in the valley is very heavy, although it is in the northern part of the Shuo, it is very humid, and the sky is getting late, and the afterglow of the sunset has disappeared, which is quite a bit eerie.

Song Ruoyu looked at it for a while, but he trembled slightly in his heart. I have experienced more than 100 battles before, but I don't feel as dangerous as I do today. The plan he offered for Emperor Xuan of Jin was actually a risky plan, and it was very likely that it would not go as he wished.

This is how Pang Zhong persuaded the Huang family to help, although the Huang family will indeed get huge benefits in this, but it is quite risky to let the dignified Liang Dingguo Gong be a traitor, and besides, this Emperor Liang Wen is not a stupid emperor, how can he not know that this may be the strategy of the Jin State, that is, to change his commander, so if Emperor Liang Wen learns about this, can this thing still be done?

These two, it depends on Lin Yi, if Lin Yi learns that he came to relieve the siege but still insists on storming Yancheng, then this plan will also fail, not only will Zhang Yao be in an embarrassing position, but will even lead to the loss of the Jin Kingdom.

Although Song Ruoyu is experienced in a hundred battles, he has also made countless schemes, large and small, but this is the first time that such a dangerous plan has come out, if it were not for the situation at this time that is too critical for the Jin Kingdom, he would not have taken such a risk, after all, he has always been to seek safety. Therefore, whether this plan succeeds or not, first, depends on the Huang family, and second, depends on Lin Yi. If one of the two is missing, the Jin Kingdom will be in danger, and he Song Ruoyu will naturally become the background of Lin Yi's brilliant military exploits and the laughing stock of the world.

Thinking about it, he suddenly saw a group of scouts coming in front of him from a distance, only to see that this scout came to this Song Ruoyu in the blink of an eye.

The scout at the front immediately turned over and dismounted, and then knelt down on one knee and reported to this Song Ruoyu: "General, my subordinates have heard clearly, this Lin Yi has already led his troops to march to Tingkou, which is fifty miles away from Yancheng, and it is estimated that he will arrive at the outskirts of Yancheng tomorrow." ”

Song Ruoyu listened to the scout's words, and couldn't help but sigh: "Lin Yi is really a noble soldier, this is only a few days away from the battle of Hulukou, and he is about to arrive in Yancheng, Lin Yi seems to be imperative this time, he has to take Yancheng." ”

After a pause, he continued to ask, "Where is General Zhang's headquarters at this time?" ”

The scout replied respectfully, "The army led by General Zhang has already been gathered, and it is now on a hill twenty miles away from Yancheng. ”

When Song Ruoyu heard this, he said loudly to the scout: "You wait for another trip, and quickly tell General Zhang to immediately lead his troops into Yancheng and prepare to meet this Lin Yi." ”

The scout answered, and hurried off again.

Looking at the distant back of the scouting team, Song Ruoyu touched his chin with his hand, thought for a while, and then muttered to himself: "No, I have to arrive at the outskirts of Yancheng before him, so that I can lure him to come, if I wait until he besieges Yancheng, then I may not be able to rush." ”

Without further ado, after Song Ruoyu made up his mind, he said to the accompanying generals beside him: "Order the army, march in the starry night, and be sure to rush to Yancheng before dawn." ”

The general said, "No." And he went forward and informed the battalions.

Song Ruoyu looked up at the sky of the narrow valley again, stopped for a while, and then returned to the carriage, closing his eyes slightly, as if he was asleep again......
