Cyanosis!

Luo Tong stood on a turquoise stone that could look out in all directions, looking around, looking a little anxious, looking at the red and bright sun had been hung high, and the scene of ice and snow melting around him was already in the afternoon, but Du He had not come back yet. Last night, Duho found him and said he was going out for a walk. At that time, he was not impressed, thinking that the situation was dangerous. As the commander-in-chief, Du He needs to bear a great responsibility, and it is understandable to be alone and quiet, and think about it carefully. Anyway, with Du He's martial arts, ordinary people can't help him. But he never imagined that Du He would go, but he sank into the sea like a stone and there was no news. For eight hours, I didn't come back for most of the day, and I was very anxious.

The sound of footsteps came from behind him, and Fang Yiai came to his side and said, "The boss hasn't come back yet?" ”

Luo Tong shook his head silently.

Fang Yiai was more anxious than Luo Tong, took two steps back and forth, and couldn't help but say: "Mingda, you said that the boss would not ......"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Luo Tong's face also changed slightly, and he hurriedly shouted: "Even if Qinglian's martial arts are in danger, it is enough to retreat." Don't think about it, let alone spread the word about Qinglian's disappearance. So as not to disturb the morale of the army and cause unnecessary trouble! He said this categorically, but it seemed to be cheering himself up.

Before he could speak, the small colonel who ordered came and said, "General Luo Youlang, Captain Fang, General Du invites you to go and discuss the matter!" ”

Luo Tong and Fang Yiai were startled one after another, and said in unison: "Qinglian (boss) is back?" ”

The colonel asked him inexplicably, so he could only say: "It is indeed an order from General Du!" ”

Luo Tong and Fang Yiai glanced at each other and walked quickly.

The place of discussion is in the open air, and the stump of a thousand-year-old tree that no one can hold is their ready-made table.

Du He had already laid a huge map on the stump, and when he saw Luo Tong and Fang Yiai striding over, he smiled and said, "Mingda and Yiai, come and take a look!" ”

Luo Tong and Fang Yiai were relieved to see Du He standing in front of them intact, but when they saw that Du He's trouser legs were completely soaked, and they were covered with green grass and moss, they couldn't help asking: "Where did you go, you didn't return overnight, and you still got like this?" ”

"This matter, don't be in a hurry, it's important to get down to business!" Du He beckoned them to step forward again, but his face was full of confidence and a look of victory.

Luo Tong came to the map and looked at it, and was surprised: "Isn't this the map we drew a few days ago?" We were tired for several days for this map, and it was really detailed in the details, and the avenues and trails were drawn, but there was no path to the Chiting Ancient Road, and we were busy in vain. In the end, let them occupy the Chiting Valley and occupy such a fortress! ”

"What a busy day! During the march, any necessary move will not be in vain, and this time too, the key to defeating the enemy is in this previous effort! Du He pointed to the map and talked eloquently: "You see, I said before, this Chiting Valley is like a big funnel, the deeper you go into the Chiting Ancient Road, the smaller the opening, the more towards the Gaochang border, the bigger the opening!" Last night, I was idle, I went to their barracks, and found that the other party's camps were all arranged in this big funnel, and the Chiting Valley was indeed very large, but it seemed a little crowded to accommodate an army of 70,000. They set up camp like this, obviously intending to gather all their forces in one place and use these forces to resist the upcoming army of our Datang. ”

Luo Tong couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly when he heard Du He say that he had nothing to do and personally went to inspect the opponent's military camp, but after listening to his subsequent analysis of the intentions of the Western Turks, he also nodded and said: "Very clever decision, as long as they can resist the main force of my Tang Dynasty, this battle is equivalent to their victory!" If it were me, I would do the same when I can't match the strength. ”

"But there's one thing they've overlooked, and that's our existence!" Du He took Luo Tong's words, and a fierce smile appeared on his face: "They gathered all their forces in Chiting Valley, at the junction of the Chiting Ancient Road and Chiting Valley. If the front is too strong, it means that the back is weak. Mingda remembers the trail...... "His index finger drew an arc in the jungle on the map, and the end of the arc was the Akatei Valley.

Luo Tong nodded, this is a path he found that can reach Chiting Valley, it is very secretive, there is only a trace of wild beasts, and there is no sign of anyone walking. At first, he was happy for a while, thinking that he had found a place to pass. But in the end, it was empty joy. The trail did reach the vicinity of the Chiting Valley, but the other end was at the other end of the mountain, and it was not the road they needed to get to the Chiting Ancient Road at all.

At that time, the feeling of greater hope and greater disappointment is still fresh in his memory, so he is very impressed.

"This trail can help us reach the vicinity of Chiting Valley without knowing it, and kill them by surprise!" Duhe slammed his fist on the map, making a loud noise.

Luo Tong was silent for a while, thinking of Du He's solution, and finally stretched out two fingers: "There are two problems!" ”

"First, the entrance to the trail is at the foot of a mountain twenty miles away, and you alone may be able to avoid the scouts of the Western Turks, and reach the mountain from the Black Cyanosis Ridge where we are. But 6,000 soldiers and horses can't do it, 6,000 men are too eye-catching, as long as we move, it will inevitably attract the attention of the Western Turks. Judging from the performance of the Western Turks, there must be capable people among them, and it is impossible for us to be so careless to give us an opportunity! ”

"Good question!" Du He nodded admiringly, "But I also noticed this, so I avoided it when I came back." I didn't go the same way, but I came straight up the mountain from that trail, and I climbed three mountains in a row, leaving marks along the way to get here. So we don't need to go down the mountain at all, as long as we follow the route I came from, it is enough to reach the Chitei Valley without alerting anyone. It is impossible for them, and there is no reason for them to notice the actions of our army. ”

"Is there a way?" Fang Yiai didn't know anything about what they discussed, and she couldn't speak, and finally found an opportunity to say three words.

Du He smiled and said: "There is naturally no road, but there is no road in the world, and the road is walked by people." If our predecessors were able to open up a path, we can do the same, but it is just a little more difficult and troublesome. I believe that thousands of people on the flying horses have not yet been stumped enough to make a road difficult. ”

Luo Tong suddenly realized, and also understood why Du He's body was so good, it was only eight hours, not only to arrive at Chiting Valley from here, but also to come back from three mountains in a row, how did this happen?

He naturally didn't know that ordinary people couldn't do this, but Du He, who was light on his work, had this extraordinary ability.

Luo Tong also agreed with Du He's words, and continued: "Second, Qinglian don't forget, the other side has 70,000 people, and the army is eleven times more than us, and it is 4,000 more. Although this surprise was effective and effective, it was far from enough to crush their army. To be able to illuminate more than half of the chaos is already remarkable. Once the other half arrives to help, the end is ......" He didn't say anything.

When Du He heard this, he laughed proudly and said: "Don't worry about this, I have 100,000 heavenly soldiers to help, which is enough to crush the enemy camp in one fell swoop." ”

"100,000 Heavenly Soldiers?" Luo Tong and Fang Yiai looked at each other, I don't know why!

Chiting Ancient Road.

The mighty army of 100,000 Tang tigers and wolves, with no head in front and no tail in the back, is moving forward fearlessly in the face of this cold wind.

Hou Junji looked at the sun in the sky and scolded dissatisfied.

Far from bringing them any warmth, the sun melted the accumulated snow and ice, making them feel even colder.

"What the hell is this place, dogs don't, birds don't lay eggs, it's infuriating!" Hou Junji has fought for more than 30 years in his life, and it is the first time he has been so depressed. Starting from Chang'an, walked thousands of miles, arrived at Yumen Pass, and then crossed the Mohe Yanqi for 800 miles, and after arriving at Yiwu, he came to this Chiting Ancient Road again without resting for a few days. Three and a half months were spent on this march. What's even more infuriating is that before encountering an enemy, the 100,000-strong army lost more than 800 soldiers and more than 2,000 horses because of the steepness of the Mohe Yanqi and Chiting Ancient Road.

This is the first time that Hou Junji, a famous general who has experienced a hundred battles, encounters such a thing, and that feeling of aggrieved makes him feel like he has eaten dung, disgusting to death.

Ashina Sheer tightened his clothes and said, "Chief, we have already passed half the way, as long as we pass through this Chiting Ancient Road, we will be able to reach Gaochang." Haha, I believe that General Du Xiao has already arrived in Chiting Valley at this moment, and the speed of his march really doesn't have to be said. Even I, a veteran, have to obey! ”

Hou Junji's face was a little ugly, and he didn't refute, even he had to admit that Du He's speed was indeed fast, not only fast, but also stable, whether it was Mohe Yanqi or Chiting Ancient Dao, he hadn't heard of any abnormalities in the flying cavalry army he led.

Of course, commanding an army of 100,000 and leading 7,000 soldiers and horses are two different concepts, but Du He, as a "rookie", can have such an achievement, which is quite remarkable. One thing is for sure, at Du He's age, he is far inferior to him.

Hou Junji was reluctant to talk more on this issue. But Ashina Sheer didn't notice it, and still said: "General Du Xiao, as a pioneer general, will be the first to contact Gaochang soldiers and horses, I don't know how he will perform." It's good to look forward to. ”

Hou Junji's face changed slightly, and he sneered: "No matter how good your performance is, you are still a novice, and you don't have much experience in the battlefield." How can you understand the art of using war? It's already a blessing not to lose my Datang's face, and you still expect him to achieve what kind of results? General Ashina, you think too highly of that kid from the Du family. I look at that, he is cowering on the border of Gaochang, not daring to go deeper, waiting for my army to arrive. ”
