In this scorching summer, Yang Ling, the chief general and Jin Wei, the deputy general who commanded more than 10,000 soldiers from Changsha and Wuling counties, did not ride horses in the army.

The two asked their soldiers to cut some branches with wide leaves, held them on their heads to help block the sun, and led the soldiers of Changsha and Wuling to walk slowly on the mountain road of Lianyun Mountain.

In the hot summer temperature, the clothes and armor on the two of them were also wide and open, and they only wore thin clothes inside, but the march still made them drenched with sweat, so they asked people to go to the Liuyang River from time to time to fetch river water and flush their bodies, so that they could cool down for a while.

This Yang Ling is about thirty-five or six years old now, and he looks like he is in good shape, he is a military captain in Changsha County, and he was originally a general under Han Xuan who was responsible for training and training soldiers, and he can be regarded as having good martial arts, so he can be rated as one of the five brave generals in Jingnan.

This is the first time Yang Ling has taken command and led the troops to fight, and for Yang Ling, it can be regarded as his opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

It's just that this scorching summer day made him a little irritable, as if there was an inexplicable feeling that made him faintly uneasy, but he felt that he was a little nervous, after all, this time he was going to attack Zhu Wei's rear army Dazhai, and the main force of Zhu Wei's army was still attacking Liu Pan in Youxian, theoretically speaking, his sneak attack plan was perfect, and there should be no problem.

On the other side, Jin Wei also looks like a strong man in his early thirties, with a height of more than one meter and nine, and he can be regarded as burly and majestic, but between his face, eyebrows, and eyes, there are a few alien characteristics of the Huns.

Jin Wei is also a brave general who believes in his extraordinary martial arts, but when Liu Bei conquered the four counties of Jingnan in the original history, Wuling County only mentioned Taishou Jin Xuan and engaged in Gong Zhi, so Jin Wei was not rated by later generations as one of the so-called five brave generals in Jingnan.

But now Jin Wei represented Wuling Taishou Jin Xuan, and led the troops to Changsha County for assistance, which can be regarded as letting his name be known, but after all, he is only a captain of Wuling County, so he had to obey Han Xuan's arrangement after arriving in Changsha City.

This time, after Han Xuan made an agreement with Liu Xian, the head of the coalition forces in Guiyang County and Lingling County, Han Xuan naturally let his direct subordinate Yang Ling take on the position of chief general, and let Jin Wei lead the Wuling soldiers to be subordinated to the position of deputy general.

But Jin Wei felt that the Wuling soldiers he brought were more than 2,000 Changsha soldiers led by Yang Ling, and in terms of military strength, he should have been the main general, so now he was still a little unconvinced.

The most important thing is that if this sneak attack is successful, then the great merit will not fall on Yang Ling's head, this is not to use the lives of the soldiers of Wuling County to give the people of Changsha County the credit for nothing.

Therefore, there are inevitably some private entanglements between Jin Wei and Yang Ling, although Jin Wei is succumbed to the name of the deputy general, but the six thousand Wuling soldiers he brought are definitely not something that Yang Ling, the main general, can command.

But at this moment, Jin Wei doesn't have much to think about, in the face of the increasingly hot weather, he just wants to soak his whole body in the river water to cool himself down.

Why do you have to use troops in such a hot day?

At this time, a scout who was suddenly exploring the way in front ran back, and came to Yang Ling and Jin Wei to come back closely, saying that Wei Yan, who was acting as a vanguard at the front of the army, had found a cool valley where the army could rest and rest and temporarily avoid the hot summer weather.

Yang Ling and Jin Wei were also a little happy when they heard this, so they sent orders to their respective subordinates, and the whole army quickened their pace, and when they arrived at the cool valley in front, they could rest and eat.

Because of the hot summer, Yang Ling and Jin Wei also discussed that the army should avoid the hottest noon and afternoon, and mainly took advantage of the cool at night to march by the light of day, so as to cover up the traces of the army's march.

So at this moment, this coalition army composed of soldiers from Changsha and Wuling counties has actually walked all night, and the soldiers are indeed a little tired.

Hearing such a military order, whether it was Changsha or Wuling's soldiers, they couldn't help but get excited, and they all quickened their pace and rushed forward, so after walking for another half an hour, they really found a quiet valley in front.

According to the news sent back by Wei Yan, who was at the forefront of the army, there was enough space in this valley for more than 10,000 troops to go in to rest in the summer.

It's just that with Yang Ling and Jin Wei coming to this valley, looking at the state of the valley, they can't help but feel that this valley is a little weird.

This valley seems to be an ordinary valley in the mountains, but there is no other way out of this valley except for the wide mouth of about two or three people who enter.

The valley is indeed very empty, with few plants and plants, and the ground is mostly rocks and pebbles, and perhaps when the mountains and rivers are abundant, it is also a place where mountain streams flow and converge.

However, the hot weather has led to a shortage of mountains and water, so there are only a few small streams flowing shallow on the ground of this valley.

The mountain walls around the valley are steep, the rock walls are mostly bare rocks, and the highest part of the mountain wall is seven or eight meters, which is not easy to climb.

Therefore, Yang Ling and Jin Wei looked at the shape of the valley, and then looked at the environment around the valley, and there was always a faint feeling of uneasiness in their hearts, as if there was something unusual about the valley, which made them a little worried, but for a while they couldn't think of anything worth worrying about.

Speaking of which, the cliffs around the valley are densely covered with trees, and the stretched canopy of these trees just shades the valley from the scorching summer sun.

In addition, there is still stream water in the valley that can be used, moistened by the stream and caressed by the mountain breeze, this valley is indeed a relatively cool summer resort, and it is also possible to say that it is a temporary garrison resting place.

But with such a valley terrain, I still feel a little uneasy.

Perhaps it was because he saw the suspicions of Yang Ling and Jin Wei, on a cliff above this valley, Wei Yan's figure suddenly appeared, and he seemed to be inspecting the situation in the mountains and forests around the valley.

At this time, Wei Yan saw the hesitation of Yang Ling and Jin Wei, and couldn't help shouting to the two of them, "Captain Yang, Captain Jin, a certain family has already explored the surrounding area, and the valley here can escape the heat, and it is relatively safe and secretive, not afraid of exposing the traces of the army." A certain family also explored in the mountains and forests above this valley, but there was no problem, the army marched all night, and the two generals should quickly lead the troops into the valley to rest! ”

It turned out that this time Wei Yan followed Yang Ling and Jin Wei to sneak attack Zhu Wei's so-called rear army camp in Liling County, but he was used as a laborer, acting as a forward along the way, responsible for exploring the way for the army in front.

Therefore, on a hot summer day like this, Yang Ling and Jin Wei could march slowly in the army, but Wei Yan had to take his soldiers to climb the mountain and explore the road in front of him, to explore the place to camp and settle down for the follow-up army, and to guard against possible enemy scouts, which was more tiring than Yang Ling and Jin Wei.

However, Wei Yan had a purpose in his heart, so he didn't complain, and he did his best along the way, which gave Yang Ling and Jin Wei a good impression......
