(Yesterday I made up for the third subject, and I didn't get home until midnight, which delayed the normal upload time, so I will update a chapter here first, and then make up another chapter in the evening, to apologize.) ）

At this time, in the Wei army camp of the Sword Pavilion, the atmosphere was very strange.

The Wei army has besieged the Sword Pavilion for dozens of days, but it has never been able to move forward in front of this dangerous Xiongguan of Cui Wei, and the Sword Pavilion is still impregnable. On the contrary, the Wei army suffered great losses, and there were a lot of corpses under the pass, including three or five thousand people, and there were stumps and broken arms everywhere, like a Shura slaughterhouse. If it weren't for the cold winter wax moon, I am afraid that the corpse would have already stinked and rotted.

With an army of 100,000 troops, he attacked a small sword pavilion with only more than 30,000 people, but it did not go down for days, and Zhong Hui's calmness was also annoyed by it, and he had successively killed two partial generals who were unfavorable in the name of cowardly the enemy. Although the Wei generals, including Tian Zhang and Pang Hui, have no worries about their lives for the time being, they can't help but be sad that the rabbit and fox are dead, and they have relatives in their hearts, lest one day Zhong Hui's sword will be cut off on their heads.

On the same day, the Wei army attacked again and returned with a feather. When Zhong Hui heard the news, he was even more angry, and reprimanded Tian Zhang and others in the big tent of the Chinese army. While scolding, the governor in front of the tent came to report, and Yan Du sent a six-hundred-mile urgent military report from Yang'an Pass.

"Urgent military report? QuickPass! When Zhong Hui heard the news, he chuckled inexplicably in his heart, and hurriedly called the future into the account.

As soon as the words fell, a Wei soldier sweated profusely and walked into the tent, knelt down, bowed to Zhong Hui, and said, "The villain has seen the general!" ”

Zhong Hui bowed his head slightly and said, "You were sent by Du Pre?" ”

After the Wei soldier entered the tent, he immediately noticed that the atmosphere in the tent was tense, and he inevitably felt a sense of panic in his heart, and bowed his head when he heard the words: "General Qiyu, the villain is Du Shenjun's personal guard, and he was ordered to come because of the ......."

"Say!" Zhong saw that he hesitated and did not dare to speak, although there was no expression on his face, but a sense of ominous rose in his heart.

"Last night, Yang'an Pass was attacked by the Han army, and all the grain, grass, ordnance and other baggage in the pass were burned and burned......"

"You say it again?" Zhong Hui's eyelids jumped, and he couldn't believe his ears.

The Wei soldier was frightened in his heart and said: "Last night, the Han army suddenly attacked Yang'an Pass, and hundreds of thousands of stones, grains, grass and all the ordnance and baggage of our army in the pass were burned!" ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Zhong was shocked, but the generals in the tent were also shocked, and no one dared to ask out loud when they looked at each other.

After a long time, Zhong Hui suddenly spoke: "Do you know who is the leader of the enemy army?" ”

"I was attacked at night, I don't know who the name of the thief will be! It's just that although the number of this group of Han soldiers is small, all of them can be one hundred, which is not comparable to ordinary Han soldiers! ”

Zhong Hui's face turned pale, and he said coldly: "Where is Qinggang?" ”

"The general knows that he can't escape the blame, and now he is personally leading his troops to search for the whereabouts of this group of Han troops......"

Zhong Hui's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness, and he said coldly: "Pifu, there is more than enough success and more failure, and my 100,000 troops are buried in his hands!" ”

Since Tian Zhang followed Zhong Hui to attack Shu, he knew that he was strict in governing the army and decisive in killing. But anyone who commits a capital crime and crashes into his hands, whether it is a meritorious general or an ordinary soldier, will not escape death. Now it seems that this Qinggang has lost the grain and grass ordnance of Yang'an Pass, and it must be difficult to escape this time. It's just that although it is not a pity for Zhan Qinggang to die, the Wei army is in a predicament because of this, and the danger in front of him is that if he hesitates, there is a risk that the whole army will be annihilated.

Thinking in his heart, Tian Zhang took a step forward and said in a low voice: "General, the grain and grass in Yang'an Pass have been attacked, the situation of our army is not good, and the general must make a decision as soon as possible to avoid ......"

"The general trend is gone!" President Zhong sighed, slowly closed his eyes and was silent, only after a while did he raise his head and said coldly: "Order the three armies, erect more flags, and keep drumming, tonight the three guards will pull out the camp and withdraw to Hanzhong!" ”

"Even so, I'm afraid it's hard to hide from Jiang Wei's ears and eyes, if the Han army then covers up and kills, what can I do?"

"It's okay, I have my own arrangements!" Zhong Hui waved his hand and signaled Tian Zhang and the others to separate orders and prepare to withdraw and return to Hanzhong.

When Tian Zhang heard this, he didn't dare to say any more, and immediately after giving a salute to Zhong Hui with the generals, he withdrew from the Chinese army's tent and prepared not to mention it.

Let's say that the Guan Yi brigade is led by the personal guards of Ehu and the two Fu Tuo, along the west bank of Langshui out of the small estuary into Yinjia Mountain, although the mountain road is rugged and difficult to walk, but due to the successful completion of the task of sneak attack on Yang'an Pass, it is that whether it is the blood guard or Fu Tuo and his dozens of subordinates, the spirit is extremely relaxed, the long grass and fallen leaves along the way, the tired birds and the remnants of the sun, at this time it seems to have a special meaning in the eyes.

Four days later, the brigade crossed the western foot of Jigong Mountain and went straight to Qipanling, and the road was indeed extremely smooth as Fu Yan said, and no enemy situation was found.

Guan Yi didn't know that the line from Xiaohekou to Yinjiashan was not within the scope of Jinniu Road, although the Wei army stationed at Yang'an Pass informed the Wei army besieging Jinjin and other sieges that Yang'an Pass was attacked by a small group of Han troops, but no one thought that Guan Yi would go the other way. Therefore, the Wei army's attention was focused on ensuring that the Jinniu Road was unblocked, completely ignoring the sentinels in inaccessible places such as Yinjia Mountain.

Qipanling, located at the junction of northern Sichuan and Hanzhong, needs to wind and circle seven times from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, so it is called Qipanling. As early as the pre-Qin period, in order to curb the way of the strong Qin to commit the Shu Dynasty, the Shu people built an ancient pass on the Jitou Ridge of Daba Mountain in Hanzhong. How can the mountain be high and windy, especially in the middle of winter, the ice and snow on the top of Jitouling Mountain are frozen, the cold wind is terrible, and the gatekeepers are almost unsustainable, so the last resort is to move the site from Jitouling to Qipanling in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, so it is called Qipanguan.

Although Guan Yi had heard of this Qipanguan, he didn't know much. I just vaguely remember that Qipanguan has always been the only place to enter Shu from Hanzhong, and in the hearts of Shu people, among the four famous passes in northern Sichuan, Qipanguan is one of them.

In order to avoid revealing his whereabouts, Guan Yi asked Chen Lie and Ehu to lead a team of men and horses to hide in the dense forest in front of the pass and set up camp. He took Fu Tong and Zhuge Shang to find a way to climb the mountain on the side of the ridge to look at the Qipan Pass, but saw that on the Qipan Ridge, a level of mixed structure of soil and stone stood on the top of the mountain, before and after the Xiong Guan, a mountain road winded between the mountains, flickering and flickering, Guan Yi secretly counted, sure enough, there were seven twists and turns to reach the top of the mountain, very steep. Compared with the steepness in front of the pass, the terrain behind the pass was slightly eased, but it was still not conducive to the attack of the army.

Guan Yi sighed: "This pass stands on the top of the mountain, except for this mountain road spiraling up, there is almost no flat land around, it is really a dangerous place that is not opened." If there are troops entering Shu, only 1,000 men and horses need to be arranged in the pass, and people can not move forward. ”

Fu Yan said: "Not bad! This pass is the throat of Shu and Hanzhong, but fortunately, the terrain behind the pass is relatively gentle, not as dangerous as before the pass, if our army forcibly attacked, it can reduce many casualties. ”

Because Qipanguan is the highest peak of Qipanling, everyone can only see the appearance of Qipanguan, but they can't get a glimpse of the scene inside the pass. Guan Yi saw that the Wei army was waving its banners, covered with swords and guns, and the guards were extremely tight, and said: "Xingping knows how many soldiers and horses the Wei army has stationed in the pass?" ”

Fu Yan shook his head, since the fall of Yang'an Pass, he and his subordinates have hidden in Yinping Mountain, almost all contact with the outside world, and they really don't know much about the deployment of the Wei army.

Guan Yi visited for a long time, this Qipanguan stands on the top of the Qipanling Mountain, although the back of the pass is not as steep as before the pass, but there is not a single tree within a circle of hundreds of meters below the wall, it is obvious that the Wei army on the Qipan Pass must have learned the news of the sneak attack on Yang'an Pass, in order to strengthen the defense of Qipanguan. In order to prevent a sneak attack by the Han army, the trees in front of and behind the pass were cut down, forcing the enemy soldiers to have no place to hide.

Looking at the current situation, it is obviously not feasible to send people to infiltrate the pass to reconnoiter the enemy's situation. For the sake of today's plan, the only way to wait for the Wei army of the Sword Pavilion to withdraw its troops, once the Han army led by the general Jiang Wei pursued to Qipanguan and engaged the Wei army, the blood guard could take advantage of the void to attack Qipanguan and then attack Jiang Wei back and forth to capture this dangerous pass.

Guan Yi had already thought about it in his heart, and then led everyone back to the camp. Ehu then reported that the Blood Guard had caught a tomb robber while patrolling the forest, and because he was quite strange, he was temporarily detained for the time being.

There have always been tomb robbers, especially in the war years, and they have been repeatedly banned, and they are the affairs of the county government, but Guan Yi heard Ehu say that this person was a little weird, and he was curious, so he simply asked people to bring him into the Chinese military tent for interrogation.

After a while, the blood guard brought the person into the tent of the Chinese army. Guan Yi saw that this person had a delicate face, but he was extremely thin, like a bamboo pole, and it was strange that he was so tall that he was tied like a zongzi by ropes without leaving a trace of space. I felt strange in my heart, and was about to ask, but Ehu first put two sacks, one large and one small, in front of Guan Yi, and said: "Young master, this person is a thief who specializes in digging graves, and he was caught by the blood guard in this forest!" ”

When the man heard Hu say this, he snorted dissatisfiedly and shouted, "If it weren't for the drunken and falling asleep, how could you catch me with your goods?" ”

Guan Yi smiled, uncovered the big sack and took a look, sure enough, it was filled with some gold jewelry shells, antique jade, and then look at the small sack, but it was a chisel, hemp rope and shovel and other things, Guan Yi did not know much about tomb robbery and grave digging, but he knew that Hanzhong and Sichuan and Shu were connected, since the pre-Qin Dynasty was a place where soldiers must fight, after the Han dynasty ruled the world, Chengdu became one of the five capitals of the Han Dynasty*, so there are a large number of Warring States tombs and Western Han Dynasty tombs hidden between the mountains and fields.

The man did not deny Ehu's words, and it seemed that he was really a tomb robber. However, this person is still quite interesting, after being captured alive by the blood guard, he refused to admit defeat, and he didn't know what he was capable of, and he actually looked down on the methods of the blood guard.

Guan Yi patted the rope on the man's body and said with a smile: "How is this rope tied so tightly?" ”

Ehu glanced at the man and said: "The young master doesn't know, this thief has some doorways, after being caught by the blood guard before, I don't know what method he used, he actually secretly untied the rope, if it wasn't for the blood guard who found it early, he almost let him run away!" ”

When the man saw Ehu talking about this, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he was quite proud.

Guan Yi raised his thick eyebrows, he was very amused, he knew best about the means of the blood guard, this man actually had the ability to untie the hemp rope tied to his arm, it seemed that there were indeed some doorways, and he didn't know how he did it.

"What is your last name, and where is your name?"

The man snorted, turned his head and didn't look at Guan Yi, but he was quite arrogant.

"How dare the general be so rude when he asks you?" Zhuge is still young and vigorous, and he can't see others putting up a fight in front of him, not to mention that this person is still a tomb robber who is not in the stream, so he can't help but feel angry, and he pulled out his sword and pointed at the man, looking at this posture, it seems that he wants to chop him into two pieces with a sword.

Unexpectedly, the man didn't blink his eyebrows, and sneered: "If you want to kill, you will kill, if I frown, I will not be a good man!" ”

"Aren't you the famous flying thief who pours the clouds and harriers?" Fu Yan was a little surprised to hear that the man had a self-proclaimed nickname.

The man inadvertently slipped his mouth, but he no longer denied it, and simply smiled proudly: "Exactly! ”

Fu Tong patted Zhuge Shang on the shoulder, signaling that he didn't need to be angry, Zhuge Shang originally just wanted to scare Shi Feng, and didn't want to kill him, not to mention that Guan Yi didn't say anything, even if he was really angry, he wouldn't kill people in front of him without Guan Yi's consent.

"This person's name is Shi Feng, nicknamed Tianyang, as far as I know, this person is a former Cao Wei touching Jin school captain, "drill the mountain armor" Du Jinshan's disciple, and then Du Jinshan somehow abandoned the official and died, was arrested by the Wei State Government Painting, and then heard that Du Jinshan accepted an apprentice, the master and apprentice haunted Luoyang and Guanzhong all the year round, through the wall and across the household, digging graves and digging graves, doing some unsightly deeds. ”

Fu Yan smiled and continued: "After Du Jinshan's death, this person has always been alone, because he is as light as a swallow, and he is good at disguise and makeup, so he is used to help the poor, so the people in the rivers and lakes gave him the nickname of the Cloud Harrier, but the poor people who were favored by him called him a thief, and he was between good and evil. For many years, although the state and county officials of Wei State have been arrested in many ways, they have always tried in vain, but they did not expect that this person would suddenly appear here. ”

Chen Lie said suddenly: "The last general has also heard that this Du Jinshan's mentor is said to be a very famous Jianghu alien Liu Dao in the Central Plains back then, I don't know if it's right?" ”

"Exactly!" Fu Yan smiled, it seems that this Liu Dao person is indeed famous, and after many years, there are still people who know his name.

Although Guan Yi didn't know the origin of Shi Feng, the look of surprise on Fu Yan's face did not escape his eyes, with Fu Yan's experience, he would actually be moved by a tomb robber, maybe Shi Feng did have some skills. Moreover, although Shi Feng was captured, he was not afraid when facing the sword, which shows that this person is quite bold.

In a thought, Guan Yi already had a plan in his heart, and motioned to the blood guard to untie the rope on Shi Feng's body, and Ehu was about to open his mouth to remind Guan Yi, but Guan Yi waved his hand to stop him, so he had to swallow the words that came to his mouth.

Shi Feng didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Guan Yi's gourd, rubbing his numb arm, doubting in his heart, completely forgetting his situation.

Guan Yi said lightly: "You were captured by my men, you must be unconvinced, right?" ”

Shi Feng snorted and said, "Naturally unconvinced!" ”

Guan Yi smiled: "Since you are not convinced, I will give you a chance to duel alone, how about it?" ”

Shi Feng glanced Guan Yi up and down, thought for a while, and said, "What are the conditions?" ”

"If you win, I will let you go, and I will not be embarrassed. If you lose, you have to obey me from now on, how about it? Guan Yi did not back down from the gaze of the wind, but his eyes were full of smiles, so that people couldn't see what he was thinking in his heart.

Zhuge Shang frowned, listening to Guan Yi's tone, it seemed that he intended to rein in the wind, but this person was just a tomb robber and thief, and he did some immoral things that were angry and resentful, so what was the use of Guan Yi wanting this person? Traveling with this person, he tarnished his identity in vain.

Zhuge is still young, if there is something in his heart, it will be written on his face, Guan Yi looks at his words and looks, where can he not see his thoughts, but he has other plans in his heart, so he will not break it.

Note: The five capitals of the Han dynasty refer to the five important towns of Luoyang, Linzi, Nanyang, Handan and Chengdu in addition to Chang'an.
