Chapter Ox Horn Peak

On the mountain road of Taihang Mountain, there are five soldiers, who are hurrying on horseback. They came from Yue Su's camp and went straight to the camp where Jin Chan was.

Although Lord Yue did not take the cavalry to the battle, he still had to bring a few horses with the order, otherwise, the road was far away, and he would have to run to give the order to the rear army. The nameless herald marched quickly, and ran out of the mountain road for more than four miles in one go.

The mountain road was rough, the people were choking enough, and the horses were a little tired, so the five soldiers jumped off their horses, first to the side, then took out the dry food, and sat on the side of the road to chew it.

While eating, a messenger said: "Second Brother Li, do you know why the marshal is so anxious, let us rush to the rear army in the starry night to give orders?" ”

"It sounds like there's an urgent military intelligence coming. On the Shaanxi side, the rebels of the Dragon Slaying Gang have captured Qingyang Mansion, and now they have spared Chang'an to fight Xianyang, as if they want to gather men and horses to attack Chang'an after capturing Xianyang. Xianyang is now in a hurry, and the governor of Shaanxi sent people to Shanxi to ask for helpers, but the rescuers moved slowly, and they seemed to be disturbed by traitors on the road, so the march was even slower. Xianyang is about to be lost, and Chang'an is in danger if it is lost, so the governor of Shaanxi sent the emergency document here, and asked the marshal to rush to Shaanxi immediately for reinforcements and preside over the overall situation. Although it is a big deal to encircle and suppress the rebels in Taihang Mountain, the whereabouts of the rebels cannot be found at the moment, and Shaanxi is in an emergency. As for this side, stay in the people and horses to bluff, and forgive the rebels and do not dare to go down the mountain. The herald named Second Brother Li said with satisfaction. It was as if he was proud to know such an important military secret.

"According to Second Brother Li, the marshal asked us to go to the rear army to give an order, which was to pack up and leave."

"Exactly." Second Brother Li said with a smile.

"It's okay to go, I can finally leave this ghost place, it's going to be winter, this mountain is cold and windy, if you stay here again, you have to freeze dry your brothers."

"Who isn't." After the second brother Li finished, he gnawed a few mouthfuls of dry food, and drank someone again, before he said: "Feed the horses some hard materials, let's hurry up." This land is barren and wild, God knows if there will be any traitors, if they touch, just a few of our brothers, and they must not all be thrown here. ”

As soon as they heard what he said, the other four messengers hurriedly looked around, and there were weeds around them, deep ditches, and big trees, but fortunately there were no human figures.

Seeing that there was no one around, everyone sighed, but there was the courage to say, "I always feel that this place is infiltrating, let's feed the horses quickly, let's go quickly." If a traitor really comes out, then ...... That's good. ”

Several people agreed with this point of view, and immediately began to feed the horse, and when the horse had eaten almost enough, the horse went away.

When they were gone, two men came out of the weeds in the ditch beside them. The two men glanced at each other, and one of them said, "We have to tell the hall master about this news quickly." ”

Everything was as Jiang Jie expected, the rebels of the Dragon Slaying Gang did not escape far, but only ran out of a mountain peak about seven miles away from the commanding heights of the mountaintop. The mountain is called a horn bee because it resembles a cow's horns, so it gets its name. The mountain road leading to the horned bee is difficult to walk, and it is difficult for livestock to go, but this mountain peak is very good, and there are two large natural caves in the face, which is really good to camp and rest, shelter from the wind and rain.

After Mr. Ye and Xing Ming'an retreated to the horn bee, they were not idle, and they sent people to keep an eye on Yue Su all the time. There are many hidden places in such mountains, and if you look for a random place, you can monitor Yue Su's every move. They already know the news of Yue Su's military training, but this doesn't seem to be a secret, and they have to practice from Rong, which is justified.

Later, Yue Su led the army into the mountains to search, although Mr. Ye and Xing Ming'an would not find it, seeing that Yue Su had few people, but he had the intention of sneak attack, but Yue Su was distracted, he didn't go to the dangerous road at all, and he didn't have any flaws when he set up camp, so he really had no chance to get out. If you want to fight hard, your main force still has the possibility of a battle, but the number of people is really small, pointing to the newly recruited rabble, it is estimated that it must be in vain. A few days later, Mr. Ye even realized that this deliberately made a strategy to lure the enemy, Suo Lianli didn't pay attention to it, just return to the right and drag you down, and the lord didn't expect us to be able to lose you. Moreover, in the secret room of the Niangniang Temple, you showed mercy to my subordinates and did not kill me, and I am also embarrassed to fight you head-on.

But if you don't take it off, you can't get rid of it, you should keep an eye on you, you have to keep an eye on you, Xing Ming He sent a lot of cronies along the way, and he took turns day and night to keep an eye on Yue Su's movements. Since Lord Yue only marched four miles a day, the rebels discovered this rule, and they sent people to watch in the dark every four miles.

Coincidentally, the messenger sent by Lord Yue happened to come down to rest and tell the military information after running four miles.

The two spies ran quickly towards the horn bee, which was more than a hundred miles away from the horn bee if it was on the right road, and only more than six miles if it was on the road. They were familiar with the path, turned around, and spent nearly a day returning to the horned bees.

"Hall Master, we've discovered something big."

Xing Ming'an and Mr. Ye were chatting in the cave, and when they heard that there was a big event, Xing Ming'an hurriedly asked, "What is the big deal?" ”

The two men took a few steps forward, and one of them said, "Just now I was waiting on the road to lurk, and I happened to meet Yue Su's messenger passing by. Their people seem to be tired of walking, so they stop to rest and eat......"

At that moment, he went through the military information he had heard, 151, and the original locality.

After listening to his story, Xing Ming'an stood up happily and said, "This is really good news. The lord took Qingyang Mansion, and in a few days took Xianyang and Chang'an, as long as he held Tongguan, he could claim the throne in the northwest. When the time comes, it will echo with the tools of the White Lotus Sect, so why worry that the world will not be in our hands. ”

Mr. Ye was not as excited as Xing Ming'an, but said to the two men, "Is there anything else?" ”

"Nope." The two men were polite and authentic.

"Then stand down." Mr. Ye sent the two away, and then said to Xing Ming'an, "Master Xing, why do I think something is wrong with this?" ”

"What's wrong?" Xing Ming asked suspiciously.

"This seems to be a little inconsistent with the original policy of the lord, I remember that the lord once told me, to take Qingyang first, and then with our people in Tongguan should cooperate with the outside, usurp Tongguan, while guarding Tongguan, blocking the reinforcements of Shanxi, while attacking Chang'an, Xianyang, and the northwest is king. But the other party didn't mention Tongguan at all, but the reinforcements from Shanxi were attacked by our gang halfway, which seemed to be a little wrong. And once Tongguan is lost, the world has already moved, and the messenger soldiers can't do it. Mr. Ye said suspiciously.

"Mr. Ye, although he said that, how can he always follow the original plan and remain unchanged when he marches and pays attention to improvisation. According to my estimate, the lord took Xianyang first, probably because there were many defenders of Tongguan, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to take it from inside and outside, so he wanted to divert the tiger from the mountain and lure the defenders of Tongguan out first. As for the reinforcements who attacked and disturbed Shanxi halfway, this is normal, but before taking Tongguan, it is not necessary to let Shanxi's Rong horses reach the foot of Tongguan. Xing Ming'an explained.

His words were also reasonable, Mr. Ye nodded his head and said: "What the master of the torture hall said is good, the marching soldiers pay attention to improvisation, the lord is well versed in this, maybe something else happened temporarily, and it is uncertain to change the original plan." ”

"Mr. Ye, come now, Yue Su is in a hurry to return to the army and rush to help Shaanxi. We don't know when Tongguan will be able to go down, but if it hasn't been taken before Yue Su rushes to go, it will be very bad. Now the two provinces of Shaanxi and Jin have no leader, and they are fighting for their own battles, and the lord can take advantage of it, but if Yue Su arrives and mobilizes in the center, it will be very bad luck for our gang. ”

"Then you want to ......"

Mr. Ye's gaze and Xing Ming'an's gaze met, and he had already guessed the mind of the torture hall master.

"Yes, I really want to take advantage of the fact that Yue Su is outnumbered and killed. As long as Yue Su is killed, it will not only win the lord for a long time, but also impact the morale of the imperial court and increase the prestige of my Dragon Slaying Gang. This plan of killing three birds with one stone, as long as it succeeds, my Dragon Slaying Gang will definitely be able to take the world. Xing Ming'an gritted his teeth and said firmly.

"Torture Hall Master, if you can really get rid of the lost Yue Su, it will indeed be beneficial to our gang, but according to the right moment, Yue Su's lonely master is going deeper, obviously luring me to wait for a decisive battle, the critical military information brought by the two of them just now may be the bait deliberately released by Yue Su, wanting me to take the initiative to attack." Mr. Ye said.

"Yue Su's lone army is really trying to lure us into a decisive battle, the number of horses you and he bring, and the distance of reinforcements, are completely a bait that people don't dare to touch. I also understand this, but now, it has to be like this. If we don't stop him, I guess he'll really follow the example of those messengers, and leave with the main force, leaving only a few men to bluff. The task given to us by the main bus is to drag down the main force of the imperial court, Yue Su is gone, what is the use of us staying here, it will not depend on us in Beijing City. Xing Mingan said with emotion.

"Torture Hall Master, I understand what you mean...... Mr. Ye said earnestly: "As long as Yue Su leaves, it will be really bad luck to the lord and the Dragon Slaying Gang." But we can't even jump down to the fire pit knowing it's a fire pit. In this way, not only will it take its life, but it will not help. According to me, if Yue Su really dares to lead the main force to leave, leaving only a small number of men and horses to bluff, we will go directly down the mountain, rob his camp, and lead people to Beijing directly, even if it is to hit the stone with an egg, it can make the Jinluan Hall tremble. ”

As soon as Mr. Ye finished speaking, he suddenly heard someone rushing to say: "Mr. Ye, I don't agree with your opinion!" ”
