Xu Wei raised his head, his expression became solemn, Shao Yi led the righteous army in Hedong to deal with An Zhenren for many years, he can be in a hurry like this, the matter must not be small, so he asked, "What?" "Our detectives have sent back news that not long ago, a golden army was stationed in Cizhou! Although Shao Yi's voice was low, he spoke extremely fast. \\.°CаìΖǐgе.°CòΜ//Since Xu Wei informed him of the news that he was preparing to send troops from Chengkou, he has been preparing for this matter, and now that such a situation suddenly happened, his mood can be imagined.

What is even more anxious is the two generals Li Chengwei and Yang Zaixing. This is already ready to send troops, go to Hebei to do a big job, and kill a trip to bite the gold halfway, how can this be rectified?

Xu Wei was not easy, and all kinds of possibilities flashed in his mind. News leaked? This seems unlikely, only the senior generals of the Western Army know about this matter, and the troops who are responsible for this mission, except for the second general Yang and Li, no one else knows what to do in Longde Mansion, and it is impossible to leak the news.

If it wasn't for the leak of the news, it was that the Jurchens predicted that the Western Army might make such a strange move, so they strengthened the garrison of Hebei? This should not be, now the Jurchens are fighting on two fronts, the Central Plains are fighting, the west is also fighting, and there is still strength to increase Hebei's defense? Even so, why did he come to guard against Yingkou?

Puzzled, Yang Zaixing had already begun to shout: "It's broken, it's a rumor!" Xu Wei waved his hand, "Don't worry! Mr. Shao, is the news true? ”

"Back to the king, although the detective was sent by our Hedong Army, I believe that the news will not be wrong." Shao Yi assured. He also knew that when it came to reconnaissance and espionage, the Western Army was the best at this, and King Xu Jun was an expert. However, he also has confidence in his subordinates.

Xu Wei was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "Hold your troops for the time being, and then explore!" Be sure to take a closer look! Eight thousand cavalry is not a small number, especially the elite of the cavalry of the Western Army, in case there is a mistake, to put it mildly, Xu Wei is not short of people and loses eight thousand infantry He can afford it, but if he loses a few thousand cavalry, he will have to beat his chest in pain.

Because of such a news, the 8,000 elite cavalry stopped in Shexian for six days, until the seventh day, when the latest news came back. It turned out that it was just an open mind, and the number of the Jin army was not large, only less than 2,000 people. And when they came to Cizhou, they had nothing to do with *koucheng at all.

Because the battlefield in the Central Plains was tight, the Jin State had a lot of projects in Hebei, drawing Dinglafu, apportioning taxes and taxes, and the common people had a hard time. In Cizhou, there was an incident of resistance to donations and evasion, which later further evolved into armed fights and riots, and this Jin army is said to have been transferred from Zhending Mansion to quell the rebellion. Now that the situation has calmed down and hundreds of heads have been cut off, it is now true that he has returned to the north.

Hearing the news, Xu Weile was happy. It's not just because of humility and fun, but more importantly, this incident sends a message. That is, the garrison of the Daimyo Mansion is very weak, otherwise, why bother to transfer troops from Zhending Mansion to Cizhou to quell the chaos?

Don't hesitate at the moment, and immediately order Li Chengwei and Yang Zaixing to lead the troops out of the mouth and kill Hebei!

The number of towering Taihang Mountains, 800 miles in length and width, is the natural dividing line of Hedong in Hebei. Taihang Mountain from north to south, to the Longde Fu Shexian this place responsibility, there is a fracture, because it is located in Chengshan, so it is called "Chengkou Cheng", .

Ancient soldiers believed that "from this to the east of the magnetic Xing can hit Zhao Wei".

And Xu Wei obviously believed in this, because Cizhou, where the eight thousand cavalry went to the first place, was one of the seven heroes of the Warring States in the past, where Handan, the capital of Zhao State, was located.

In order to show his attention, Xu Wei personally sent his subordinates out on the expedition at *Koucheng Mountain. , he made an exception and drank a bowl of Zhuangxing wine with the main generals, and said that he was waiting for their good news in Hedong. Li Chengwei and Yang Zaixing were not ambiguous, there was no impassionedness, and there was no guarantee of patting his chest, he drank the wine, smashed the bowl, and went to Hebei alone.

To say that this Yingkou is indeed dangerous, when in the mountain pass, the terrain is still wide, accommodating hundreds of thousands of people to go together. The further you go east, the narrower the terrain becomes, and the forty-mile gorge, where eight thousand cavalry have just walked a dozen miles, is like a trouser belt, tighter and tighter, and only allows dozens of people to walk in parallel.

Yang Zaixing walked in front of the army, followed by his sons and generals, the best generals in the Western Army, looking at the top of his head from time to time. The only major defeat of the Western Army over the years was an ambush. And the enemy also happened to choose the terrain in his favor.

And the place in front of you is the most suitable for ambush warfare. Choosing a suitable place, there are not many people and horses, and when the 8,000 cavalry is stretched out before and after, and the head and tail are not concerned, they suddenly attack, ensuring that the people will be beaten on their backs, and the Western Army will not even have a chance to fight back. Even if it is not like this, only one or two thousand men and horses are needed to block in front, and no matter how brave the eight thousand cavalry are, they will not want to take a step beyond the thunder pool.

In the valley that has been inaccessible for many years, the cavalry is quietly marching like ants. Perhaps because there are no people in Taijia, this tea hole is almost deserted, and the knights can often see birds and beasts, and the cliffs on both sides seem to be pressed down at any time!

Yang Jihu raised his head to look at the narrower and narrower sky above his head, and whispered: "This is fucking called a line of heaven." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the team suddenly slowed down, and later, it actually stopped. Yang Zaixing frowned and shouted, "What's the matter? Not long ago, there was a word that there was a place in front of me that was so narrow that only a few people could walk side by side. Although he had already learned the news from the mouth of the Hedong Army, Yang Zaixing still couldn't help but feel nervous. After a few words of instruction to the children and the generals, the lone rider crossed the team and went to the front to command.

Riding a horse and blocking the valley, this is unbearable for the cavalry, and wherever Yang Zaixing passes, his ears are always full of complaints from the soldiers. When he saw that place, he couldn't help but change color, what a dangerous place! The cliffs on both sides have come into close contact in this place, which can no longer be called a valley, it is simply a hole.! Overhead, the cliff was almost closed, leaving only a gap below, allowing four or five horsemen to move side by side, and any more would have to be squeezed.

The cavalry of the Tiger Army had always been galloping on horseback in the wilderness, and when they encountered such a terrain, they were a little uncomfortable, and the officers in front of them were not properly commanded, so they marched very slowly. Yang Zaixing stepped forward and shouted: "Stop!" As soon as he came forward, the noise stopped, not only the enemy was afraid of him, but even the officers and soldiers under his command were afraid of him like tigers. A deputy commander dismounted and walked over, hugged his fists and said: "Dutong, the lowly is commanding ......", "What are you commanding) birds!" I'll settle accounts with you! Yang Zaixing scolded. At this point, he waved his horsewhip and shouted loudly: "Five horsemen in a row, passing in parallel, no crowding and fighting, violators are waiting for the baton!" He roared, these arrogant soldiers are all honest and pass step by step. He also ordered someone to take the topographic map provided by Shao Yi, and found that this section was the narrowest and most dangerous in the Yingkou Mountains, about two miles long.

The more places like this, the more times like this, the more you have to be cautious. Yang Zaixing thought for a while and ordered: "Send someone to a high place to look at the wind, and if there is any trouble, immediately warn and report!" At this time, they understood why Shao Yi said that he would have to walk for a whole day in this forty-mile-long Chengkou. At the speed of cavalry, forty miles, the charge was almost in the blink of an eye.

The troops marched slowly, which was a great test of the patience of the generals, and this place was really called, "a line of sky", because the sky was really only as wide as a line. By the time all the 8,000 cavalry had passed through the "first line of sky", it would already be after noon.

"All of them! Later, the infantry army is already preparing! An officer reported behind Yang Zaixing.

"Got it!" , waving his whip impatiently, his mind seemed not to be on it. Although it is said that through the most dangerous "silver line", this does not mean that it is absolutely complete. Unless you completely step out of this mouth and see the vast plains, that counts.

"Report, Yang Dutong, the road conditions ahead are really unbearable, what should I do?" , another officer came to report.

No one has walked in this Yingkou for many years, and the original road is naturally deserted, Yang Zaixing thought about it and ordered: "Get off the horse and lead away!" Be on the alert at all times! The military order was quickly executed, and the cavalry had to dismount and lead the horses through the deserted valley for many years. I just hope that time will pass sooner and get out of this damned plague place sooner.

After walking for about an hour, according to the map, it should not be too far from the exit. Until this time, Yang Zaixing breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and even Li Chengwei caught up and said to him: "Yang Dutong, as long as there are no accidents in the last paragraph, we will be stable." "Hmmm! Yang Zaixing nodded vigorously, "Damn, I have gone back this way, and I don't want to go a second time." But there are thousands of people blocked, there is really no way to go to the sky, and there is no way to enter the ground! "That's, you said this, Taihang Bashan" Zekou is not the most dangerous, but it is still so. No wonder, Hebei Jin Jun didn't care. Li Chengwei said with a smile.

"Is your way called the road? Even if the troops pass, what about the logistics? The vehicles can't come in at all, and if you want to deliver supplies, I'm afraid you can only carry them on your shoulders, and if it were me, I wouldn't believe that the enemy would enter from here. Yang Zaixing admitted frankly.

"Haha, it's really ......", Li Chengwei's face was originally full of smiles, but he stopped talking abruptly! His expression suddenly changed!

When Yang Zaixing turned his head, he found that this old comrade-in-arms had a look of horror on his face! His eyes kept staring in one direction, and he looked at it, and suddenly felt his heart sink and almost heard his own heartbeat!

This shouldn't be! This should never be! How can it be? What's going on?
