In October, the grass and leaves in the South Taihang Mountains are withered and the leaves are falling, and there is a color of decay. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Carrying a longbow on his back, Zhao Yun nimbly climbed and sneaked through the rocks and jungles, and when he was sure that there was no one lurking in front of him, he would send a signal to the rear for the knights to lead their horses through the tunnels below.

His spear was temporarily handed over to Xiahou Lan to carry, because in this terrain condition, it was not suitable for the play of long weapons.

When Zhao Yun climbed over an inconspicuous mountain, he suddenly heard some movement in the woods. He bent down, slowed his movements, and quietly moved towards the place where the sound came from.

"Whew! …… Call...... Oooo

In the grass not far away, a sound that looked like a person snoring came into Zhao Yun's ears.

Zhao Yun held the dagger tightly in his right hand, gently parted the dead grass with his left hand, and then saw a scene that made him speechless.

A young man was lying asleep in the grass, with no weapon by his side other than a wooden staff to defend himself. Zhao Yun carefully observed the surroundings and made sure that there was no one else hiding nearby except for this man. Seeing that the man was wearing a somewhat shabby Confucian robe, and a black silk curtain on his head, Zhao Yun frowned slightly.

This young man lying in the dead grass and sleeping soundly seems to have a difficult identity.

Yang Xiao was having a good dream, and suddenly felt that her calf was gently bumped by something, so she opened her eyes slowly, and then saw a sharp dagger hanging less than a foot in front of her eyes.

"Who are you, and how do you lie in this mountain forest and withered grass?" Zhao Yun looked at the young scholar who had woken up expressionlessly, and asked.

Yang Xiao didn't answer immediately, but carefully looked at the soldier's outfit on the person holding the dagger in front of him, and then grinned and said, "Oh, I've finally looked forward to you!" Who led the Tiance Army to Hanoi this time? How many soldiers and horses came? ”

"Who are you?! How did you know that the Tiance Army was going to send troops to Hanoi? Zhao Yun's face was stern, and his eyes unabashedly revealed murderous intent.

Yang Xiao didn't care about Zhao Yun's threat, and replied with a relaxed face: "Who am I?" I am the guest of honor that your general has specially served with beef! It's normal that you scout doesn't know me. I have a major military situation to report, you hurry up and get in touch with your leader, just say that Yang Xiao has returned from Hanoi and has found the whereabouts of Yang Jun's family! ”

Zhao Yun saw that this person was speaking calmly, not like a madman and a liar, so he sent a signal to the rear, and a few scouts came over after a while, surrounding Yang Xiao in the middle.

When Song Xian, who was five miles away in the rear, heard the name Yang Xiao, he suddenly showed an incredible expression, and he hurriedly rushed up with his soldiers, wanting to witness with his own eyes whether the young man who dared to ask the general for beef was really returning safely.

For Yang Xiao, others may not be familiar with him, but Song Xian hid underground and personally listened to him talking to Wang Cang, and listened to it for three nights! Song Xian felt that Yang Xiao was very smart, so he specially suggested to Lu Bu to send Yang Xiao to Hanoi to find Chang Lin and Yang Jun, never thinking that two months after Yang Xiao left, the Montenegrin army began to wreak havoc in Hanoi.

Song Xian rushed to the scene and immediately laughed when he saw Yang Xiao, who was a little sloppy.

"Yang Xiao, you actually ran out of Hanoi alive? Why didn't the Montenegrin Army catch you? ”

Yang Xiao rolled his eyes at Song Xian, and then bent down to carefully clean the grass clippings on the robe. "General Song, what do you mean by this, I wish I had an accident in Hanoi? Don't you want to know the current situation in Hanoi?! ”

Song Xian immediately came over with a sneer, handed a pot of cold boiled water to Yang Xiao, and then said cheekily: "We are all doing things for the general, the family doesn't talk to each other, hurry up and tell me what you know about the situation in Hanoi, if the content is important, I will naturally give you another credit, and then you can eat a large piece of beef!" ”

Yang Xiao knew the severity, so he found a flat and clean place nearby, then picked up more than a dozen stones from the ground, and then used dead branches to draw the general topography of Hanoi County and the location of each county on the ground, and then placed the stones on it one by one.

"According to the information I heard, there are eight large and small teams of the Montenegrin army that invaded Hanoi, among which the most powerful Huanglong Department has reached Keiguan, and they control Yi County, Qinshui, Bo County and Ha Duong, and the number is at least 30,000. Yu Digen was the second largest force to invade Hanoi, and they controlled the state and the province of Wen, and Ye Wang ......"

Yang Xiao's memory is amazing, and when he reported the situation in Hanoi to Song Xian, he explained in detail the positions occupied by various forces, the number of people dispatched, and the current situation of the leaders.

Because Song Xian knew Yang Xiao's intelligence, he was not surprised, but Zhao Yun, who discovered Yang Xiao in person, was secretly surprised, he really didn't expect that this scholar who was not yet weak would be familiar with military affairs and geography, and talk about military affairs in a clear and unambiguous manner.

Song Xian asked Yang Xiao: "The flying cavalry battalion of the Tiance Army is not far from the rear, and it is about to raid Hanoi in the near future. ”

Yang Xiao replied: "When I came from Kwai City, it was quite easy, and I didn't find any traces of soldiers lurking in the mountains. In my opinion, the various forces of the Montenegrin Army are now busy carving up the territory of the river, and for the time being, they have not imagined that the Tiance Army will send troops to Hanoi, so they have not taken corresponding precautions. ”

Zhao Yun, who had been by Song Xian's side, couldn't help but interject and asked: "Just now when I woke you up, you opened your mouth and said, 'I finally have you here', inferring from these words, it is obvious that you have expected that the Tiance Army will send troops to Hanoi, and it will inevitably go through Taixing. I'm one of the pioneers sent out by the Flying Cavalry, and I'm sure no one will be able to give you the news in advance, so how did you expect this? ”

Song Xian was very satisfied with Zhao Yun's vigilance and caution, although Yang Xiao went to Hanoi from Lishi to find someone for Lu Bu, but no one knew what he had experienced in the past two months, just based on his words, he completely believed his words, which was definitely a taboo for the vanguard scout.

Yang Xiao understood the vigilance and caution of Song Xian's subordinates, and explained: "When I left Xihe, the Tiance army was busy settling the displaced people who had returned from Hedong, so it can be concluded that the general attached great importance to the population. After Li Wei led the army to evacuate from Hanoi, the Montenegrin army soon raged in Hanoi, and the news reached Lishi, and the general would definitely not sit idly by and watch the people of Hanoi being coerced by the Montenegrin army to become thieves, so I concluded that the Tiance army would inevitably send troops to Hanoi. As for why it is necessary to pass through Taihang, it is because Tianjing Pass has always been under the control of the Tiance Army, and it is the most convenient passage to Hanoi from here! ”

Song Xian bowed his head and admitted that Yang Xiao's judgment was reasonable.

Yang Xiao then said to Song Xian: "The situation in Hanoi is changing every day, and no one can guarantee that there will be no Montenegrin army guarding the southern end of Taihang Mountain. You may continue to explore the way ahead, and now send someone to escort me to the Admiral, and I will report to him personally what I have learned. ”

Song Xian felt that this was safe, so he arranged for several soldiers to escort Yang Xiao back to Tianjing Pass.
