The two armies fought against each other, suffering damage to each other, and neither took any advantage of the other.

The commanders of the two armies were holding back the fire in their hearts, and they both wanted to eat each other in one fell swoop, but there was nothing they could do.

……

Yuntai Mountain, in the cave of Guigu.

"Deshan, for the sake of the teacher, I have calculated that your fate has arrived, go out of the valley to help Li Tang quell the rebellion."

"Master, I haven't finished my studies yet, and my disciples don't dare to go out of the valley."

"The opportunity has come, and this is destiny. Out of the ghost valley in troubled times, hidden rivers in prosperous times, and help all sentient beings, and set things right. This is our mission, let's get out of the valley! ”

Then he turned around and went into the wall room, leaving Yang Deshan alone in a daze.

The next day, Yang Deshan said goodbye to his senior brother and left the valley.

Yunmeng Mountain, clouds and mist, the mountains are high and the trees are dense, the miasma is pervasive, and there are few birds and beasts in the forest. In the depths of Yunmeng Mountain, thorns are everywhere, and there is a Yin and Yang Bagua Qiankun array, it is easy for people to get lost, this is where the Guigu faction lives.

Over the years, successive kings, princes, and overlords have hoped to get help from the Guigu faction. Many people were sent to visit the Guigu faction, but they were never allowed to find the gate of the Guigu Sect.

However, it is said in the world that the disciples of Guigu are the disciples of Guigu, who are vertical and horizontal and support the world, and benevolence and wisdom have no desire to enjoy peace. For thousands of years, there are very few people who have really seen the disciples of Guigu and have met with the disciples of Guigu.

It's just a rumor that the disciples of Guigu are hidden in the world, and since the Han Dynasty, they have not declared their origins to the public, nor have they told outsiders about their life experience.

……

Yang Deshan, who obeyed the master's order and went out of the valley to help Li Tang quell the chaos, heard that near Chang'an, the Tang army that was quelling the chaos was recruiting troops, so he hurried to enlist.

As soon as they arrived on the north bank of the Wei River, they heard from the displaced people that there was already a fight at the front, and the Tongzhou Road now prohibits the displaced people from going to the front line.

Yang Deshan said: "It's not a conscription, why don't you let it go?" Is it defeated? ”

Later, Qianshan traveled at night to the bank of the Wei River, and Yang Deshan, who was lurking on the west bank of the Wei Bridge, saw the battle between the Shatuo cavalry and the Huangchao Forbidden Army.

Looking at the large array of the Huangchao Forbidden Army, he thought of the formation diagram drawn on the Guigu Soldier Book that he saw in the Guigu Library, and the two had the same effect. But there are some differences, this big array lacks two eye pressure arrays, and it should be incomplete.

Then, seeing the defeat of the Great Array, his thoughts were fulfilled. The heart said, "It's a pity! Without two formations taking turns guarding the perimeter, there was no way to deal with cavalry projectiles. ”

The cavalry wearing the robes of the Hu people, but waving the golden dragon banner of the Tang Dynasty. The flag soldiers wearing Han clothes in the opposite large array were carrying the banner of "Qi".

Yang Deshan said in his heart: "This Hu person is a Tang soldier, and the Han people are rebels." What does this mean? Datang quelled the rebellion with the help of the Hu people? ”

Yang Deshan, who didn't know why, decided to go to the Datang military camp first to see what was going on.

Li Cunzhang was depressed that he did not leave the thief army on the other side of the river in today's battle, and he played with a knife outside the camp shirtless, and cut down the big tree in front of him, venting his inner anger.

Yang Deshan saw Li Cunzhang cutting down trees indiscriminately and asked, "This little brother, dare to ask if this is the Tang Army camp?" ”

Li Cunzhang looked at Yang Deshan, who was dressed in Hanfu and carrying a cloth burden, and felt that he should have fled, and he didn't know how to stray into the hinterland of the battlefield.

"This big brother, this is the battlefield, I advise you to leave early, don't let people be treated as spies here, and lose your life in vain."

Yang Deshan heard the little brother in front of him persuade him to leave, and said in his heart: "He is still a kind person." ”

"Hahaha, it's okay, I'm here to join the army, so I'll ask if this is a Tang Army camp. Just say you know. ”

Li Cunzhang heard the man in front of him say that he was here to join the army, looked at him carefully, and found that this person was nearly seven feet tall, and his arms and legs were all muscular, but he felt that this figure was a little thinner, and said in his heart: "This physique is okay, it may be hungry, a little thin, stay in the barracks to exercise, you should be a good knife and axe hand, no matter how bad you are, you can be a firehead army." ”

Yang Deshan saw that the other party was looking at his figure, so he took a few postures to expand his chest muscles, showing that he had muscles. After all, I have followed Gu Zi and learned the art of strengthening the body for several years, which is not comparable to ordinary people.

After Li Cunzhang saw Yang Deshan's posture, he couldn't help laughing: "Poof~, big brother, don't tease, just your muscles, look at me." ”

Then he showed off his muscle groups to Yang Deshan.

Yang Deshan saw that the muscles on the other party's chest, abdomen, and arms were bulging, and the curve of the block was clear and clear, and he knew that he was a practitioner, so he immediately said: "Little brother, at first glance, he is a practitioner, he can be described as a heroic boy, and his skills must not be low, right?" Dare to ask what position is high in the army? ”

Sycophants are always useful, Li Cunzhang's praised face was a little hot, and he said casually: "The cavalry general of the left army under the account!" ”

"By the way, you said you came to join the army, where are you from, and what did you do before?" Li Cunzhang was politically interrogated.

"Meet the general, and then go down to the Hedong clan, learn strategy, so I joined the army and became a staff member."

"To put it bluntly, he is a dry eater, no war, and blind command. Another rice bucket. ”

Li Cunzhang was not satisfied with several military advisors under the account of his father-in-law Li Keyong, and felt that he would move his mouth, eat dry food, and command blindly. But the father-in-law respects them as gentlemen, so that he can study well.

"You can say the same thing."

When Yang Deshan heard what the other party said, he knew that he had some prejudice against the army's staff officers and staff, and that his young man's temperament was to be superior to force. Therefore, he did not refute what the other party said.

"You mouth-wrenching people have the worst eyes, it's useless to fight, and you know intrigue all day long. You say, why did you join the army? ”

"I'm here to help the general make meritorious contributions."

"Huh? What does General Ben want you to do, will you be able to shoot arrows on horseback, or will you carry a gun into battle? Or do you know how to cook and make beds? ”

"The next step can help the general decide when to attack, when to encounter a crisis, how to resolve the crisis, and how to defeat the other party."

Li Cunzhang heard the man opposite boasting about himself, and thought to himself that he was another liar who could speak well, so he interrupted a little impatiently: "Okay, if it's useless, then you tell me how to defeat the Yellow Head Army." That's right, General Ben will give you a reward. ”

Yang Deshan knew that the other party was prejudiced against him and embarrassed himself by speaking, but this was a rare opportunity to show his skills.

"If nothing else, the thieves will steal the camp tonight."

Li Cunzhang said in his heart: "At today's council, my father-in-law also said that we should be careful of the thieves stealing the camp, I thought at the time, do they have such courage? Now, the person in front of him also said that the other party would steal the camp, right? ”

"Don't talk nonsense, what if it's wrong?"

On the way to join the army before, Yang Deshan inquired with the homeless people that the main general of Huang Chao who stayed on the bank of the Wei River was Meng Kai, who had always been steady.

But now it is rumored that Huang Chao is on the front line, so in today's battle, the Huang Chao army, who is waiting for work, will suffer in the front. Huang Chao will not be satisfied, and Huang Chao has just established the Great Qi Kingdom, and his subordinates are all cutting-edge, and they will definitely want to show their talents in front of Huang Chao, and they have achieved the goal of becoming an official and a knight. And the cavalry of the Yellow Nest has not appeared, and the best one to steal the camp is the cavalry.

Stealing the camp must be a sure thing!

"If the thief army does not steal the camp, then let the general fall."

When Li Cunzhang heard what he said so resolutely, he was shocked and turned to joy. Xin said: "In the morning, I couldn't leave the thief army on the riverbank, and if I come to the camp tonight, there will be no return." ”

"Okay, that's what you said. General Ben is not the kind of person who is angry, you go back to the camp with Ben. If the thieves don't come and steal the camp, then you will take forty sticks and get out. If it's really as you say, I'll go to the big boss and ask for credit for you. ”

"A word is a certainty, General Xie will carry it."

"Ugly words are ahead, and the rest depends on destiny. Come with me back to the camp. ”

……

After returning to the camp, Li Cunzhang found someone to take care of Yang Deshan, and then went to find his father-in-law himself.

"Father-in-law, the child thinks that the thieves may steal the camp tonight. Therefore I begged my father-in-law to send me a man, and I laid an ambush. If the thieves dare to come and steal the camp, I will let them come and not return. ”

Li Keyong looked at the orphan he adopted in front of him, and now he has become a general who stands alone. Today's battlefield is extremely brave, but it has not been able to eliminate the river thief army, and there may be a sense of loss in my heart. The young man, with a high heart, can't hit his temperament too much, give him 2,000 men and horses, let him toss it, and also use it as a reinforcement of the garrison.

"Zhang'er, since you think that the thief army will come to steal the camp, then your father-in-law will give you 2,000 men and horses, and you will command them."

"Father-in-law."

Li Keyong was afraid that after this son got the men and horses, he would lead the troops across the river to provoke the thief army, so he opened his mouth to warn: "Remember, do not cross the river, just move within five miles of the camp, and there must be no mistake." ”

"Obey the command."

Li Ke thought to himself: "Within five miles, even if you encounter a large army of thieves, you can come to the rescue and there will be no problems." ”

Then he said to Li Cunzhang: "Go." ”

Li Cunzhang has always listened to Li Keyong's words the most, because what he admires most is this invincible General Sai Shangfei outside the Sai Shangfei.

Then Li Cunzhang took his 2,000 cavalry out of the camp and ambushed.

……

After Lin Yan got Huang Chao's approval, he prepared with five thousand cavalry, and asked everyone to carry as much fire oil and sulfur as possible.

At ten o'clock in the middle of the night, the 5,000 men and horses who had crossed the river from the embankment in the lower reaches of the Wei River in advance were hiding in the valley not far from the Tang army.

At the end of the cold winter, when the spring is cold, the north is still freezing. In order to prevent the grass from startling the snake and exposing his whereabouts, Lin Yan did not allow the soldiers to light a fire to keep warm, and everyone hid in the valley with their own baggage to keep warm.

"What time is it?"

"It's the second watch, General."

"Okay, call everyone to me and prepare to attack the camp."

After a commotion, everyone got on their horses and packed up.

"Everyone listened to me, they all bought me their lives, and they rushed to the grain and grass storehouse, and they must have burned their grain and grass for me. If anyone dares to retreat, don't blame me for the knife in my hand. ”

Lin Yan led his five thousand men and horses, under the cover of night, quietly forward. The men sent before eliminated the sentry on the tower of the camp gate, after making the code. Lin Yan shouted: "Rush me." ”

Five thousand cavalry charged collectively, and the sound of horses' hooves and shouts shook the sky. startled Li Cunzhang, who was ambushed in the woods not far away.

"Grandma's xiong, you really dare to steal the camp."

Then he stepped on his horse and said to his men: "Rush up, bite them for me, don't let them run away for Lao Tzu." ”

Shatuo's cavalry used Western Xia horses, with good endurance and fast speed, which was incomparable to the Central Plains horses.

"General. We have ambushes behind us. ”

Lin Yan, who was charging, heard his deputy say, turned around and saw a group of cavalry approaching not far behind, turned his head to see the opponent's camp gate, and said, "Don't care, rush in for me, you must burn their grain and grass." ”

……

On this night, there was a riot in the camp, the flames were in the sky, the kingos collided, the horses neighed, and the shouts were loud and loud.

On the other side of the Wei River, in the camp of Huangchao.

"Lin Yan has succeeded, hahaha, he is worthy of being the governor of my forbidden army. ……”

Huang Chao faced the generals beside him and praised his nephew Lin Yan for a while.

Meng Kai stood aside silently when he heard this, and the other generals hurriedly echoed when they heard this.

"Be brave and strategic, conquer everything, and be invincible......"

All the words of praise were in the big tent, and the mouths of the ministers came and went, and Huang Chao smiled presumptuously, happy that he had such a brave and resourceful nephew.
