Three days and three nights, three full days and three nights!

Dong Li led his men and horses to the northwest, from the Ocean River to the West Sea, from the West Sea to Jincheng, and from Jincheng back to Jishi Mountain, which can be described as a rich result. Because of the death of my sister, the pent-up anger in my heart has been slightly soothed.

After pretending to be a Broken Qiang official and attacking Burning Dangqiang, everyone returned to the Broken Qiang territory, and then hid in Jishi Mountain.

After counting the number of people, Dong Li found that the surprise attack of three days and three nights had caused him to lose sixty people. Among them, only more than 20 people were actually killed in the battle, and those who fell behind in the middle accounted for more than half.

This is inevitable, three days and three nights of sleeplessness, even Dong Yan himself is almost at the limit.

He even thought that if he took one more step, he might fall off a running horse. Looking at the others, they are even more embarrassed. The better ones are the seven people brought by Lu Yi and Dong Tie. Every time they raided a surprise battle, they were in charge of the horses and supplies, and they didn't join in until the last surprise attack on Burndang.

"Xiao Tie, find a place to rest in front, and remember to be secret."

Dong Tie responded, jumped off Ma Sa's legs and ran. It's already in the mountains, and the horse speed can't be lifted. Dong Tie's pair of scuds are far more effective than war horses in such an environment. Dong Li and the others walked forward unhurriedly, and after about a stick of incense, they saw Dong Tie running over from the corner of the mountain beam like the wind.

"Master, about three miles ahead, there is a mountain pass. The terrain is very secretive and difficult to spot without looking closely. ”

Dong Li's sleepy eyelids fought, and when he heard this, he immediately came to his senses.

"Dong Zhao, order everyone to speed up, there is a col ahead, we will rest there for two days, and then go on the road."

Everyone was cheered up, and for these people who had only snoozed on horseback for three days and three nights, what they needed most at the moment was a place to lie down and sleep, and wake up with a hot meal, not hard, already chewable dry food. Everyone immediately sped up, and under the leadership of Dong Tie, they quickly came to the mountain col.

The col is surrounded by mountains and surrounded by pine forests that stretch as far as the eye can see.

It was quiet and private. There are several caves in the col and a stream that is not frozen and flows. There is a hot spring here, steaming with mist, hiding the col in a forest mist, which is indeed a good place to hide.

Everyone was so tired that some of them got down from their horses and fell to the ground and snored.

Dong Yan had no choice but to carry these people into the cave first, and no matter how bumpy they were, they couldn't wake them up.

"Dong Zhao, go to sleep too."

Seeing that most of the people had been arranged, Dong Li said to Dong Zhao.

Dong Zhao was also sleepy, but he saw that Dong Yan didn't plan to rest, and couldn't help asking, "Lord, aren't you resting?" ”

"You go and rest first, although this place is very hidden, but after all, it is not out of danger. I'm not going to sleep yet, you go to sleep. ”

"How can this be ......?"

"How can it be?" Dong Li's eyes widened, "This is an order, go and rest immediately." We still have a long way to go. ”

Dong Zhao was moved, keeping up with such a lord, it was worth dying.

He also knew that he could not hold on any longer. Instead of arguing with the lord here, it is better to rest quickly, and when he recovers some vitality, he can replace the lord and take the vigilance. After Dong Li saw Dong Zhao leave, he walked out of the col with his legs. This came down from the horse, and the internal test of the thigh was a heart-piercing pain. It's no wonder that after running on the horse for three days, the legs were worn out. Fortunately, there was no one around, Dong Li loosened his culottes, wrapped his robe and found a shelter from the wind, but there was a very hidden mountain crevice walking down, and the lion's mane beast and the elephant dragon were crawling beside him left and right.

I have already heard that my brother-in-law died in battle in the market town.

Although I had been prepared, I was still very uncomfortable.

On the last day, the frenzied attack on the Broken Qiang and the burning of the people's garrison was not without this reason. Although he didn't say much to Uncle Beigong, he could feel that his brother-in-law was a good person. It's a pity that good people don't live long.

These three days are extremely important three days for Dong Li.

For the first time, I used the things I learned from the military books and battle strategies left behind by Ma Yuan.

I think that General Fubo has been in the Western Regions for more than ten years, and he has never been defeated. The Qiang people are good at riding and shooting, so he uses more flexible tactics to constantly eat away at the opponent's strength, until his own combat effectiveness definitely surpasses that of the opponent.

Ma Yuan is very cautious in the use of soldiers, which Dong Li can understand from the art of war he left behind.

But when he actually put it into use, he realized that there was no end to the mystery. For some reason, he felt that this method of warfare was very similar to the guerrilla warfare he had heard from the old village chief in the mountain village in his previous life, but there were also differences.

Ma Yuan said at the beginning that Sun Tzu said: Soldiers, treacherous ways.

At the same time, he absorbed Taoist ideas and had a deeper understanding of the impermanence of water and the impermanence of war in Sun Tzu's Art of War.

It can be said that in Ma Yuan's art of war, there is an appreciation for this sentence.

Dong Yan also appreciated. Now quiet, he carefully recalled his actions in the past three days, summarized them, and looked for flaws in his actions. It's a pity that he doesn't have enough troops in his hands, otherwise it would not be impossible to kill Han Sui.

This time Han Sui suffered a loss, will he still be fooled next time?

Dong Li doesn't dare to underestimate Han Sui now. This time he can win, but what about next time? In this world, there is no general who is always victorious and undefeated. Han Sui mainly suffered a loss from underestimating him this time, but it is certain that next time he will put himself at the same height. This Xiliang celebrity is really extraordinary, and he almost planted himself in this northwest land.

A gust of wind blew, and Dong Yan involuntarily wrapped the robe on his body.

Leaning on the bodies of the two horses, the heat from the lion-mane beast and the elephant dragon made him can't help but fight with his eyelids.

It's so sleepy, I really can't stand it!

Dong Yan knew that he couldn't fall asleep. But the eyelids are not angry, and they are unconsciously closed together.

With the last bit of sobriety, Dong Yan scratched the wound on his leg fiercely. The sharp pain made him awake and the drowsiness drove away. But this situation lasted for a short time. Dong Yan gritted his teeth and stood up, and in the narrow gap, he started a five-bird play. The tiger play is exciting, the monkey play is dexterous, and the bear play is powerful......

Sitting down in a set of five poultry plays, Dong Yan sweated profusely.

It's empty, and my body has been a little empty for the past three days. However, his spirit was much better, and he kept repeating until there was movement from the col, followed by the voices of Lu Yi and Dong Tie.

Dong Li's nerves, which were so tense that they were about to break, finally relaxed.

He sat down, leaned on two horses, closed his eyes and fell asleep. Even if the sky falls, I won't open my eyes.

******

This night's sleep was a whole day and a night.

When I woke up, it was dawn. When the sun rises, the sunlight refracts the water mist, producing a colorful light. The entire mountain col is surrounded by this colorful mist, like a magical world full of mystery and fairy rhyme.

Outside the crack in the mountain, Dong Tie stood guard for him.

Dong Yan stretched his waist, and his whole body was sore to death. He walked out, woke up Dong Tie, and walked into the col with two horses.

"How long did I sleep?"

"Master, you've slept all day and night."

"No wonder I'm so hungry." Dong Yan rubbed his stomach and laughed self-deprecatingly: "Do you know what the situation is outside the mountain?" ”

"Yesterday, Ma Song took people out to inquire, and it is said that Burndang and Poqiang have already fought."

"Ma Song? Who is Ma Song? ”

"You forgot? It's the guy who attacked our military camp with Beigong Yu, and was later captured by you, waiting for us to go to the market town. ”

Dong Yan slapped his forehead, "Oh, I remembered...... I've been going around in circles these days, and I'm about to forget about this guy. Why, after so many battles, that guy is not dead? I don't think he's doing well. ”

Dong Tie said with a smile: "Master, Ma Song has been guarding the supplies and horses with us, and even the last battle was only joined when it was almost over." Hehe, he's very clever, Sister Lu'er said he's a big slippery head. ”

This slippery head word was also inadvertently said by Dong Li, and now it has been widely used by Lu Yi and others.

Dong Yan nodded: "It's a smart person." Xiao Tie, you have to remember that being alive is more important than anything else. In the future, you learn from him, don't always like to rush to the front...... By the way, when Burning and Poqiang fought, Han Sui didn't stop it? ”

"I tried to stop it, but he was sick...... Now yesterday at noon, Burndang and Poqiang met for the first time. I heard that the burner suffered a little loss. However, there were also a lot of casualties on both sides, and there seemed to be a bit of a red-eyed posture on both sides. ”

"Let's fight, let them fight!"

Dong Li was thinking in his heart: Judging from Han Sui's actions, he was going to rebel. But now that Burning Dang and Poqiang are fighting, it is estimated that it will not be solved for a while. No, I'm going to go home right away, maybe the Yellow Turban Rebellion has already begun.

can't help but be a little proud, at least judging from the current situation, Xiliang can't make a big mess.

A burst of fragrance came from the col, making Dong Li's stomach growl. He didn't ask any more, quickened his pace, and ran to the campfire.

Lu Yi boiled a pot of broth and was waiting for Dong Yan with a smile.

In this way, after three days in the mountains, everyone regained their spirits.

During the three days, Dong Li kept sending people to inquire about the news. Burning Dang and Poqiang completely tore their faces, and even withdrew their men and horses from the river valley, ready to join the battle between the two sides. Not only that, but the entire northwest is in chaos because of the big circle around Dong Li. Tribes and tribes no longer trust each other, are suspicious of each other, and there are skirmishes.

"The enemy in the valley has withdrawn?"

Dong Li didn't expect such a result.

When he heard the news, his first reaction was to immediately enter Baimaqiang from the river valley.

But he held back.

In his opinion, now is not the best time.

"Master, when are we leaving here?"

"No hurry, no hurry!"

Dong Yan resisted the urge to evacuate, and patiently persuaded him: "Wait a little longer, I'm afraid that Han Sui has woken up now and knows that we have to go around Jishi Mountain." Look, it won't be long before he intervenes to stop the fighting. When the time comes, they will hunt us down in the territory of Burndang, and the line of the Great Ocean River will inevitably let down their vigilance. ”

"You mean, we're still going from the valley?"

"That's right, it's real...... Hehe, Han Sui wouldn't have been unaware of the news of the withdrawal of the burners. He will definitely lead people to keep an eye on the exit of the river valley. We will go out now, and we will fall into their trap. After a few days, the battle between Burning Dang and Poqiang will be in full swing, and Han Sui will definitely come out. Now, we're comparing patience with him. ”

After saying this, Dong Li found that there was no one around to say anything.

He looked up at everyone suspiciously, and found that everyone was looking at him in surprise.

"Lord, are you really only thirteen years old?"

"I ......"

Dong Li knew that he had gone too far. laughed twice at the moment, and diverted the topic: "Let's watch the play here, watch the play." ”

"What do you mean by watching a play? Play, what is it? ”

"This, this...... Drama is like dancing, like a woman dancing. Everyone likes to watch women dance, doesn't they? Watching a play, and watching a woman dance is the same meaning, a meaning, hahahaha. ”

Accidentally, there is a leak in the mouth.

Forget that in this era, there is no such thing as opera.

Lu Yi looked at Dong Yan suspiciously, this young master always says some inexplicable words. You ask him, and he will explain it with something inexplicable. Anyway, from the beginning of knowing him, I thought he was a bit weird.

As Dong Li guessed, the war between Burndang and Poqiang lasted until the New Year.

Han Sui waited for a long time in the river valley, and finally lost his patience. It was decided to intervene to stop the fight between the two sides and search for the traces of Dong Li and others in the area of Ngoling Lake. He estimated that Dong Li and others should already be in the center of the territory of Burndang, as long as the two sides ceased fighting, with the words of Burn Dang Wang, Dong Li and these people could not escape, and it was appropriate to attack at this time.

******

Just when Han Sui came forward to clean up the mess, Dong Li also got the news.

He immediately ordered the people to move, and crossed the stone mountain, flowing out of the outlet near the Great Ocean River.

Along the way, I didn't encounter too many obstacles. Most of the soldiers of Jincheng County were taken away by Han Sui to deter both the burning and breaking sides.

Along the Dayang River, Dong Li and his party were unimpeded and arrived at the river valley on the morning of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

The valley is a rugged canyon with jungle on both sides, and even a few thousand people hide in the mountains without anyone knowing.

Dong Li rode on the back of the elephant dragon and let out a sigh of relief.

"Just cross the canyon ahead and we'll be safe!"

Everyone's faces were filled with excitement. yes, it's finally safe.

Looking back on the past time, it seems like a dream. turned most of Xiliang upside down, and when he gets old in the future, he will talk to his children and grandchildren, and there will be something to talk about. But Dong Li didn't show a smile, he walked at the back, and the moment he entered the canyon, he couldn't help but look back in the direction of Jincheng, and a cold light appeared in his slender eyes.

Han Sui, this is our first meeting!

You wait, it won't be long, I'll definitely be back. At that time, let me understand the wisdom of you, a famous man in Xiliang.

Thinking of this, he raised his knife and left a line of big characters on the cliff on the side of the canyon: If I return to this place in his year, I will definitely turn Jincheng into a sea of blood.

It seems that poetry is not poetry, and fu is not fu.

But it is enough to show Dong Li's determination. He rode after the crowd and passed through the long canyon.

When he was about to leave the valley pass, a gong suddenly sounded, and dense crowds of people appeared from the slopes on both sides. One by one, holding bows and arrows, swaying brightly in the sun, shining, and murderous.

Dong Li was taken aback, could it be that Han Sui had an ambush here?

In a panic, he rushed down the hillside, and from a distance, he threw off his horse and fell to his knees.

"Right ahead, but the lord?"

Dong Li squinted his eyes and looked carefully, and shouted in a lost voice: "Bohou...... You're alive? ”
