The three thousand Liu Wuzhou's army slowly stopped, everyone quieted down, everyone had an uneasy panic in their eyes, the yellow dust was rolling in the distance, flying all over the sky, a cavalry team was like a dragon going out to sea, covering up for them, a pair of cold eyes, shining armor, sharp spears, galloping war horses, the kind of murderous aura that destroyed everything made Liu Wuzhou's army retreat in horror.

This army was made up of peasants or small traders who had just been forcibly conscripted into the army by Liu Wuzhou, and two or three months ago they were still farming in the fields and working as men in the wine shops, they had not experienced the killing of the battlefield, and they had a deep fear of death.

They thought that the cavalry killed in front of them was the Fengzhou army that defeated the 300,000 Turks, and the soldiers in front turned around and ran away, no matter how the officers shouted and scolded, they couldn't shout the pace of the soldiers' escape, like an avalanche, the escape of more than 100 people in front caused the escape of thousands of people behind, and then the entire army collapsed.

The three thousand soldiers were defeated like a mountain, threw off their armor, ran for their lives, screamed and fled in all directions, burrowed into the woods, fled to the high ground, and when they could not run fast, they fell to their knees and surrendered with their hands raised high.

Four hundred cavalry roared past the surrendered soldiers, random arrows, more than a dozen officers ran unfast, were shot by random arrows, and could not see a soldier to move forward, this was a scene that the Fengzhou cavalry did not expect, they originally wanted to impact the infantry, killing a fiercely, but did not expect that the battle was not launched, the convenience collapsed, which made the Sui soldiers both a little regretful, but at the same time there was a kind of pride that could not be concealed, this is a kind of pleasure after bullying the weak.

That night, Yang Wei led 10,000 Fengzhou Sui troops and war horses across the Yellow River, 10,000 Sui troops were all cavalry, they swept all the way to Lishi County, defeated 15,000 Liu Wuzhou's army in the south of Lishi County, killed more than 3,000 enemies, captured more than 8,000 enemies, and occupied Lishi County, which was also the first battle since the Fengzhou Army's Eastern Crusade

Fenyang Palace is located in the northeastern foothills of Guanshui Mountain, the northernmost part of Loufu County. Guanshui Mountain stretches for dozens of miles, the mountain forest is luxuriant, the mountain is steep, there is a mountain lake in the northeast foothills, the local people call Tianchi, the lake surface is hundreds of acres, just in the Tianchi and then dozens of zhang upwards is the famous Fenyang Palace, built according to the mountain situation. From the top of the Kura Castle to the bottom of the palace gate. The drop is nearly 40 zhang, it is one of Yang Guang's palaces, and the scenery here is beautiful. The perennial clouds and mist are like a fairyland.

Fenyang Palace is built on a steep mountain, with only a special royal road winding up the mountain. This royal road is about two miles long at the bottom of the mountain, and it is directly connected to the Chido, and is a branch of the Kitakami Chido.

There is a military camp at the foot of the mountain and between the mountains of Fenyang Palace, in which the army under the mountain covers an area of hundreds of acres, which can accommodate 30,000 to 50,000 troops, in the first two years, there were 20,000 garrisons in the barracks for many years, but at this time the army has died out in the mountains and rivers of Goryeo, and the military camp has collapsed. The weeds are waist-high.

However, the military camp in the mountains is still in use, the military camp is very small, at most two or three thousand people can be stationed, it is the place where the Xiaoguo army is stationed, when Liu Wuzhou attacked Fenyang Palace last year, the three thousand Xiaoguo troops were wiped out, and now it has become Liu Wuzhou's one thousand troops stationed.

In fact, Fenyang Palace is already an empty palace. Valuable items have been looted away, hundreds of palace maids have also been taken away by Liu Wuzhou, only a few dozen eunuchs live in the empty palace, the reason why there is a garrison is because Fenyang Palace still has military value. Occupy Fenyang Palace, you can attack the transport baggage team on the road at any time.

Fenyang Palace was built by Yang Yuanqing and Li Yuan. Yang Yuanqing was in charge of the first half, and Li Yuan was in charge of the second half, but the map brought by Li Qiong was drawn by Li Chun, a craftsman from Fenyang, who participated in all the exploration of Guanshui Mountain in the early stage and was very familiar with that side.

The sky is getting dark, in a col of Guanshui Mountain, Qin Qiong is hiding here with three thousand cavalry, this area is inaccessible, the original dozen villages were all moved away when repairing Fenyang Palace, within a radius of dozens of miles, there is not a single family, here is only five miles away from the Fenyang Palace in a straight line, but it will take at least an hour to go around.

In a tent, Qin Qiong was discussing the plan to seize Fenyang Palace with the deputy general Cheng Yanjin, Qin Qiong looked serious and serious, without a trace of smile, but Cheng Yanjin was hanging, lying next to the map, biting a grass root in his mouth, his eyes were scattered, Qin Qiong was introducing the road to Fenyang, but he was thinking about whether there were any palace maids left in Fenyang Palace.

"I've said it three times, listen up!"

Qin Qiong gave him a slap on the head angrily, except for the former handsome Zhang Xutuo, he was not afraid of the rest of the people, as if he was a little afraid of Yang Yuanqing now.

"Brother Qin, just say it, I can hear it clearly!" Cheng bit Jin and yawned long.

Qin Qiong glared at him fiercely, and continued to say, "There is a small road drawn on the map that can lead directly to Fenyang Palace, but the war horse does not go, so you can only use a team of people to go immediately, I mean, the two of us divide the labor, you take the back mountain path, I take the front road, we make an appointment to attack at the same time." ”

"Brother Qin, you attack the path! I take the big road, I am road blind, and I will get lost if I take the small road. ”

Qin Qiong finally couldn't bear his lazy attitude towards him, if Luo Shixin was there, he would definitely not have the slightest excuse, and would rush to go to the most difficult thing, and this master Qin Qiong slapped the table and said angrily: "The military order is like a mountain, you can't go!" ”

Cheng Yanjin jumped up in shock, "Did I say I wouldn't go?" I'm a lieutenant general, can't I put forward a plan? You have a hot temper, I really don't know how Luo Shixin can stand you? ”

"I just ask you, do you want to go?" Qin Qiong stared at him in annoyance.

"Forget it! Never mind! If I don't compete with you, I'll set off. ”

Cheng couldn't let go of his face, and he snorted out angrily as soon as he picked up the tent, so frightened that Qin Qiong blew out the lamp with a snort, and his heart was itching with hatred, and he left without taking the map, where did he go up the mountain from? I really don't know how Xu Shiyun can stand this bastard

Cheng Yanjin took three hundred people from the back mountain, he gathered several brigade commanders together, threw the map to them, and ordered: "The chief manager has given me another secret mission, I need to think about it, I don't have time to study the map, the three of you discuss it, see where this path is?" How to go? ”

This is called big fish eating small fish, small fish eating shrimp, Cheng Biting Jin can't provoke the main general Qin Qiong, but he is unambiguous when he unloads the difficulties to his subordinates.

Under the light of a bright moon, three hundred elite scouts set off. They walked along a cliff to the deep forest of the mountains

Qin Qiong led 2,700 troops around the foot of the mountain to the front, and stopped when there was still a mile away from the royal road up the mountain, and everyone ambushed here.

"General Qin, how can that Cheng Yanjin be such a person, hanging all day long, but the chief manager still values him and lets him go back to the mountains?" Qin Qiong's subordinate Zhao Jin asked worriedly.

Qin Qiong sighed and said, "That kid is this temper, you say he's stupid." but he is more oily than anyone else. There are constant small mistakes, but he will never make big mistakes such as delaying the fighter plane. Let him go to the back mountain, this kind of stealing chickens and dogs is actually the most suitable, and people like him will definitely not let themselves suffer. ”

Zhao Jin nodded, "But this kid's popularity is really good." It's only been three days since he came, and most of the generals in the barracks know him, but the other person who came with him is silent, and I still don't know what that person's surname is. ”

Qin Qiong smiled, that person's name is Xu Shixian, he heard Yang Yuanqing say that this person is the third person in the Wagang Army, he is a great talent, and Cheng Yanjin's greatest credit is to bring this person to Fengzhou.

I don't know why. Qin Qiong thought of the marshal Zhang Xutuo again, almost half of the ten generals under him defected to his apprentice Yang Yuanqing, I don't know how the marshal would feel if he knew?

Just as Qin Qiong came to the conclusion, Cheng Biting Jin is indeed very suitable for this kind of stealing chickens and dogs, and they have a smooth journey. Touching the back of Fenyang Palace, the three brigade commanders all advocated walking along the wall, but Cheng Yanjin refused, insisted on climbing into Fenyang Palace, and approached from the palace.

Three hundred Sui scouts rushed through the palace. When they reached the main hall, they suddenly heard a loud laugh. The main hall is brightly lit, and there seem to be quite a few people.

A scout with strong martial arts climbed the roof of the main hall, and came back after a while to report to Cheng Yanjin: "General Cheng, there are more than 20 officers in the side hall who are gathering together to gamble. ”

The three brigade commanders were surprised and delighted, and praised Cheng Yanjin and said: "General Cheng really has vision, if he walks around the wall, he will miss this fighter." ”

In the dark, Cheng Biting Jin's face was a little hot, he actually wanted to see if there were any palace maids in Fenyang Palace, but he didn't expect to meet the enemy officers, although it was luck, he smiled cheekily and proudly: "I estimated that those officers would sleep in the palace at night and enjoy the taste of the emperor's dragon bed, and I guessed it." ”

Everyone praised him for being like a god, and he was very proud in his heart, so he whispered, "Do it!" Leave one alive and kill the rest. ”

At this time, a scout escorted a eunuch forward, "General Cheng, this eunuch said that there are a total of twenty-four officers. ”

Cheng Yanjin saw that the eunuch was carrying a food box and two wine gourds on his back, his eyes rolled and he thought about it

Three hundred scouts guarded the front and back gates of the main hall, holding crossbow arrows, nervously watching the movement in the side hall, and after a while, the old eunuch ran out in a panic and said in horror: "They drank wine and all died." ”

The scouts were overjoyed and rushed in, only to see more than 20 people lying on the ground, bleeding from all seven orifices on their faces, Cheng Yanjin then remembered that he should leave a living mouth, he slapped his thigh regretfully, "His grandmother's, I forgot!" ”

"General Cheng, what should we do now?" The three brigade commanders all admired him so much, this General Cheng not only knew things like a god, but also had a strange plan, no wonder the governor appointed him as a deputy general.

Cheng Yanjin looked at the officer lying on the ground, and couldn't help grinning, "Isn't this easy?" Find twenty-four brethren to change into their uniforms. ”

He suddenly had a change of thought in his heart, and then turned back to the old eunuch and asked, "How much wine is there in the palace?" ”

"There are still hundreds of altars, Liu Wuzhou does not allow them to drink, and he will send someone to count them every month, so they can only drink a little bit."

"Call all the eunuchs, pick up thirty jars of wine and send them to the barracks, and say it's a reward."

Qin Qiong waited patiently at the foot of the mountain for the arrival of the first watch, it was still half an hour away, his eyes were firmly fixed on the military camp halfway up the mountain, his heart was very nervous, he was worried that Cheng Yanjin would fail carelessly and be discovered by the enemy.

At this moment, suddenly someone rode down the mountain, the sound of horses' hooves was particularly clear in the silent night, and in a moment, a cavalryman rushed directly in this direction.

"General Qin!"

It was actually his own person, Qin Qiong was stunned, and hurriedly greeted him and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

General Cheng and his brothers have all killed the defenders on the mountain, and the brothers have not injured a single person.

Qin Qiong was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time, and his subordinate Zhao Jin scratched his head, "It seems that he still has some ability!" ”
