A fire in Jinpo Pass left the city in ruins, and a fire burned the grain and grass in the entire rear of the Liao army.

The Liao army also had some unstable factors because of the grain and grass incident, and the chief general of the Liao army also felt a headache.

At this moment, in Xiao Siwen's room, Gao Xun sat cross-legged, and Xiao Siwen on the bed frowned, Xiao Abudi's death made him sad, but at the same time made him even more angry, although he didn't know who set this fire, but he was sure that this fire eight. Nine is not far from ten, it is the Song people's spies.

Xiao Siwen had some hatred for the treacherous Song people, and Xiao Abudi's death made him think about it, like sitting on pins and needles.

Gao Xun on the side finally spoke at this time, and he persuaded politely: "The person is dead, Xiao Liushou is still mourning, as for the food and grass problem of my Great Liao Army, it is to be solved at the moment, and the old man will come tonight, and this is what he can do." ”

Xiao Siwen raised his head, the eyes of the two met, Xiao Siwen said slowly: "I also know that the north still doesn't work, just according to what Gao Xianggong said, just go to the flying fox!"

"Since Xiao Liushou has figured it out, then we will evacuate Jinpo Pass before dusk, and as for the grain and grass flying fox, it can support it for a few days." After consulting with Gao Xun, Xiao Siwen planned to withdraw his troops to Flying Fox, where they still had a more stable rear.

At dusk on this day, the Liao army had already packed up and planned to evacuate Jinpo Pass, and at present, according to Xiao Siwen's statistics, their remaining troops were almost 20,000 horses.

20,000 horses and horses have to consume a lot of grain and grass every day, and at the moment they can only support one or two days, instead of guarding the Jinpo Pass, it is better to go to the flying fox, with the mountains and mountains as a barrier, so that it can also look across the mountains with the Song army, and the Song army can only cross the mountains unless it has wings.

Xiao Siwen sat on a black and white horse, looking up at the evacuated Liao army, still resentful in his heart.

Gao Xun sneered, he understood Xiao Siwen's thoughts, at the moment they can't be autonomous, everything has to obey the orders of Emperor Liao Yelujing, and what he is most entangled in is this, he always feels that a knife hangs over his head.

Gao Xun, Xiao Siwen, Yelu Xianzheng and the rest of the Liao army generals have their own thoughts, they from the Liao army scouts to find out the news, the current Song army has seventy or eighty thousand troops, they gathered in the towns around Yizhou, eyeing the Liao army, Gao Xun is also afraid that the Song army will take this place in one go, just when the granary is on fire, and plan to retreat to the flying fox.

Under the sunset, the Liao army began to pack up, they were also forced to leave here, a few days ago they were still full of confidence, relying on the stolen grain and grass to survive, but now they have to pay for the old bottom, retreat to the flying fox, the spirit of the Liao army also fell into a trough in an instant.

"Abudi's revenge for me, Xiao Siwen, will definitely take revenge, and there will always be a chance for revenge in the future."

Xiao Siwen With the Liao army has withdrawn from this pass, Xiao Siwen turned his head and stared at this pass for a long time, it was like a sharp knife lying across Xiao Siwen's heart, making him unforgettable.

Originally, the streets were full of Liao troops, and the Jinpo Pass, which seemed a little crowded, now looks a little empty in the pass, making it difficult to imagine that it has been captured by the Liao army for a period of time.

Jin Po Pass was empty, and Yang Zan and Leng Wu, who were walking on the street at the moment, were also surprised to see the Liao army evacuate here in an orderly manner.

Leng Wu said: "I didn't expect that last night's fire would make the Liao army so miserable, I never expected that they would easily abandon the pass and leave."

Yang Zan listened to Leng Wu's words but was fluctuating, with a sad look, he said: "Those grains and grass used to belong to the people of my Great Song Dynasty, but now it is a pity that they have been burned, what can I do?" We burned nothing but our own, and they didn't hurt the roots, and their evacuation baffled us. ”

"Yes, what Brother Zan said is very true." Although Leng Wu was a little happy in his heart, but after listening to Yang Zan's words, he was very angry, "I didn't expect the Liao army to be so cunning, their retreat is not because they are afraid of the enemy, but because they shed a lot of blood to be so well-behaved, but I feel in my heart that they must have a conspiracy." ”

Yang Zan said: "Leng Wu is right, but we also have to be guarded, they handed over Jinpo Pass to others, which is still a bit unbelievable, what we are afraid of now is that this is a big conspiracy set up by the Liao army, I have to discuss this with the black-clothed commander." ”

"Without further ado, we'll go now. Xiao Siwen killed his cronies this time, and he must not give up, and their departure is for a greater conspiracy. Leng Wu turned around and walked towards the Qingpu Tea Shop.

In the tea shop, Yang Zan and Leng Wu immediately said that they would listen to the black-clothed Tanhua, and the black-clothed Tanhua heard it, and now they ordered people to go south.

It was getting dark, and the wind was blowing all around, and it felt like a ghost crying wolf in the cracks of the stone wall.

From Jinpo Pass to the west are lofty mountains, and the mountain roads here are not easy to walk, although Xiao Siwen and Gao Xun are riding on horses, they also feel that the road under their feet is bumpy and uneasy.

In the faint moonlight, a sheep's intestine path winds around the front, like a winding mountain road in later generations, but how can it be compared to a road.

"This is the Flying Fox."

Xiao Siwen raised his head, only to see that the mountains under the moonlight were heavy and heavy, but in front of him, there were two cliffs, a line of slight communication, and more than 100 miles of winding.

The mountain shape here is steep, the peak is high and the moon is cold, Gao Xun sighed, and said: "The ancients: Standing on the flying fox, strangling the back, entering the secluded, Yan, the most victorious place." This place is a good place, and now in the hands of my Liao army, if the Song army wants to attack it, it has to weigh it, Xiao stays behind, what do you think? ”

Xiao Siwen was a little happy in his heart at this time, and he said with a smile: "As Gao Xianggong said, as long as our army has its back to here, refuses to leave the pass, relies on the mountain, forms a formation and self-consolidation, plus enough grain and grass, raises troops here, watches the battle situation around us, and sneaks up at will.

"That's what I meant." Gao Xun nodded, his face was a little ruddy, but his smile was a little oozing, whiter than the moonlight.

The Liao army walked all night, and in the second half of the night, they almost arrived near Yijiapu, and everyone was a little exhausted.

Xiao Siwen was jolting on the horse for a long time, feeling that his body bones were a little sore, and his eyelids were a little heavy, and a post station suddenly appeared next to an ancient road in front of him, and he asked Xiao Jia on the side: "Xiao Jia, what is ahead?"

Xiao Jia turned his head, pointed to the location of the post station in the distance and said, "Qiyu stays behind, and there is Yijiapu in front." Walk along the trail for seven or eight miles to be the Flying Fox Pass. ”

Along the ancient road, the surrounding mountains also became a little steep, and sometimes a falling rock fell from the mountain and smashed on the bodies of more than a dozen Liao soldiers in front, and those soldiers did not have time to avoid and were smashed with some wounds.

Xiao Jia shouted: "We circled along the path up the mountain and entered the Flying Fox Valley (Forty Mile Valley), where the stone mountain wall stands, and the Flying Fox is sandwiched in a stone screen-like canyon, twisting and turning. Walk slowly, pay attention to the road under your feet and the cliffs and rocks overhead, and don't get smashed. ”

After this hurdle, there is Zuopan Mountain in the distance, the mountain road and the ancient road fork, and there is a fortress on the mountain.

Xiao Siwen raised his eyes, Yijiapu had already appeared in front of everyone, and this simple post station in the distance was only guarded by dozens of Khitan soldiers, and when they saw someone coming, they immediately became alert.

Xiao Jia immediately replied in Khitan language, and several Khitan soldiers on the opposite side immediately rushed over, relaxed their vigilance, but were sincerely frightened, and saluted Xiao Siwen and his party respectfully.

Xiao Siwen immediately asked all the soldiers to garrison around Yijiapu.

Early the next morning, after resting for two or three hours, Xiao Siwen immediately led the Liao army to Heishiling Fort, which was a dangerous pass embedded in the depths of the mountain.

The road was full of large gravel, the road was a little difficult to walk, the Liao soldiers according to Xiao Siwen's instructions to go to Heishiling Fort at dusk, they walked for two days in a row, and their feet were ground with several blisters.

And it wasn't long before they finally arrived at Flying Fox.

……

The dawn of dawn cast a huge curtain of light, at this moment in Yizhou City, the Song army scouts immediately informed Zhao Kuangyin of the information of the Khitan soldiers, Zhao Kuangyin listened, frowned, Xiao Siwen actually took the initiative to give up Jinpo Pass, withdraw to the west of the flying fox, and planned to confront the Song army with the help of the giant mountain ravine, Zhao Kuangyin was a little confused, at the same time he also learned that the grain and grass of the Liao army in Jinpo Pass were burned, and the retreat of the Liao army was also related to this, Zhao Kuangyin thought of this, full of excitement, and immediately told everyone about it.

Cao Bin, Pan Mei and others were also high-spirited when they heard this, since there was no Liao army in Jinpo Pass, they planned to send some troops to guard this pass, strangle Yizhou in the north, force Feihu in the west, and confront the Liao army.

It's just that when Zhao Kuangyin thought of this, he sighed and said: "After all, let Xiao Siwen and them withdraw west to the Flying Fox, in this way, we will stay in Yizhou for a much longer time, if our army wants to fight, we must ensure the stability of the rear grain route, and at the same time, we must also prevent them from coming out of the mountains and sneaking up on Jinpo Pass and Yizhou."

Cao Bin said: "What the official family said is that now they have entered the forest, so that the battle is a little difficult to fight, and fighting in the forest will make people daunting, and it will not be good for the battle situation in the long run."

Pan Mei said: "The official family, if you are in the forest, you can also fight, if the minister is not mistaken, the minister's son is in the martial arts, he has also learned some forest battles, and there are a lot of such in the martial arts, the official family can make the best use of it at this time."

"You still remember this, and you also owe it to martial arts."

"Since they are also on this northern expedition, you might as well summon them in and discuss the follow-up operations."
