In March, it is warm and cold, especially in the area of Taihang Mountain, when the cold current passes, the cold is no less than winter.

Yuan Xi, who was eager to take over the army, listened to Yuan Mai's words, took more than 200 followers, didn't bother to say goodbye to Yuan Shao, and went straight to the border Yanmen all the way.

From Yecheng to the west, through the Fukou Cheng through the Taihang Mountain into the territory of Shangdang, turn to the north, pick the road and go straight to the north. After six or seven days, it has passed through Taiyuan County and entered the territory of Dingxiang and arrived at the banks of the Hutuo River.

On this day, the north wind was raging, and scattered light snow drifted in the sky, but in order to take over the elite troops of Koji Yi as soon as possible, Yuan Xi urged his troops to advance in the wind and snow, and the Dingxiang County Guard personally went to the river to see him off, and sent Yuan Xi and his party across the river by ferry, waving goodbye.

After crossing the Hutuo River, there are six or seven miles, the team passes through a mountain pass, the north wind is very strong, "click" sound, the flagpole with the word "Yuan" is blown off, and the whole team is startled!

"General, the flagpole has been blown off, this is a bad omen, why don't we hold off, find a village to station, and wait for the weather to improve before we hurry? How "Yuan Xi's troops, the partial general Zhang Nan proposed.

Yuan Xi stationed his horse and looked to the north, and if he went forward two hundred miles, he would enter the territory of Yanmen County, and the world-famous elite troops of Liyi were stationed near the Yin Pavilion of the Zhishu in Yanmen County.

"Absurd, there are only two hundred miles left in front of the camp of Yanmen Koyi, we hurry up, maybe we can arrive before dark, how can we be stopped because the wind blows the flagpole? Pass the order down, continue to hurry up, and brave the snow to hurry! Yuan Xi ordered, and the mood of eagerness to take over the army of Koyi was beyond words.

Another of Yuan Xi's generals, Jiao Fu, suggested: "Childe, this place is in a remote place, the Taihang Mountains are undulating, and the subordinates of the Black Mountain thief Chu Feiyan are entrenched in various places, making trouble from time to time. Moreover, this place is close to the border, the Xiongnu and Wuhuan are often slight, and it is not as calm as Jizhou, so be careful. Since the flagpole was blown off, maybe the heavens are warning the son to be careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years, so be careful! ”

Yuan Xi said unwillingly: "The elite of Koji Yi is all within reach, and it is at your fingertips, teach me how to be stationed with peace of mind?" ”

Zhang Nandao: "Otherwise, our soldiers will be divided into two roads, Gongzi will lead the team to take the trail, and I will lead the team, and take the post road under the banner of Gongzi, so that nothing goes wrong." ”

Yuan Xi nodded and said, "This is very good, according to what you said, let's meet at the Yin Pavilion camp!" ”

Jiao Touch sent people to a nearby village to find a life guide, and ordered the front to lead the way and run along the trail to Yanmen. When the next team was divided into two biao, Yuan Xi and Jiao touched more than 50 people and followed the guide along the trail.

Zhang Nan took the remaining more than 150 people, under the banner of Yuan Xi, along Guanyi Avenue and continued north.

The wind roared, a broken mountain pass was shaped like a hungry wolf roaring, and the narrow valley mouth could only allow two horses to pass side by side.

More than 200 archers were hidden in a hidden place on the top of the valley, all dressed in the costume of a black mountain thief and wrapped in yellow scarves around their heads. But they don't have the casualness of stragglers, although the weather is cold, but all of them strictly abide by military discipline, and they are all on standby at any time.

This target is none other than Sun Han, who marched day and night to return to the Yanmen camp before Yuan Xi.

Sun Han is Ko Yi's right-hand man, and his prestige in the army is very high, and when he returned to the camp, he didn't say anything, but just took one of his cronies out of the camp quietly, and secretly sent a scout horse to spy on Yuan Xi's whereabouts.

There are often small groups of Black Mountain thieves around Yanmen County, so Ko Yi's troops have fought against Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Bandits, and they have captured many Black Mountain Bandits' costumes in peacetime.

In order to hide people's eyes, Sun Han ordered all his subordinates to change into the clothes of black mountain thieves and came to this place called "Wolf's Tooth Valley" to ambush Yuan Xi.

"General Shutong said that it was the assassination of Yuan Xi by buying Gongzi, this kid looks weak, and he is really ruthless in his bones! Follow such a person, don't suffer! In the future, the lord is dead, maybe this boy will succeed to the throne, I have made such a great achievement, and I will definitely be able to pay homage to the marquis in the future. ”

Sun Han was lying in the grass, drinking to warm up, while muttering to himself in his heart, determined to follow Yuan Mai to do a good job.

"Driving", two fast horses galloped in, and the person on the horse was the spy sent out.

"Report to the general, Yuan Xi's team is only about three miles away from here!" The spy Le Ma reported to Sun Han who was hiding on the top of the valley.

"Okay, explore again! Confirm whether Yuan Xi is in the army? Don't get too close, and if you startle the snake, I'll cut off your heads! Sun Han waved his hand and ordered.

"No!" The two horsemen led the way away.

"Soldiers, it's time to hunt for fame, cheer me up, wind up the bow and arrows, don't make a sound, wait for my order, shoot down the arrows, shoot Yuan Xi to death, and there will be a heavy reward!" Sun Han threw the wine bag in his hand, picked up his sword, and ordered loudly.

"General...... However, but Yuan Xi is the son of the state pastor, will killing him cause a big disaster? A stammering one asked. Obviously, to shoot the son of the lord, this puts a lot of psychological pressure on them.

With a "choking", the sword was unsheathed, the sword flashed, and a head rolled on the ground!

"Damn, you are Lao Tzu's pawn, Lao Tzu will kill whoever you want! Whoever dares to talk nonsense again will end up like this! Listen to my order, shoot one person, reward 1,000 yuan, shoot Yuan Xi, reward 50,000 yuan, and seal the captain! Sun Han wiped the blood from his sword on the corpse and ordered in a loud voice.

These people were originally outlaws, they have been in the army for many years, many of them have already lost their families, and they live a life where there is no tomorrow today, plus they usually follow Sun Han's side, and they are extremely loyal.

At this moment, under the heavy reward, there is no objection, all the bows and arrows are bent, and they only wait for Yuan Xi and the subordinates to shoot down the arrows when they arrive, and earn a bounty.

After the time had elapsed, the two horses came back and shouted on their horses: "The enemy is coming, and there is only one mile left!" ”

"Hidden!" Sun Han waved his hand, signaled the spies to hide through the valley, and reminded his subordinates to stay hidden.

After a while, dust rolled up on the road, and a cavalry of less than 200 people came in a hurry, under the banner of Yuan Xi, the "General of Anbei".

The cavalry forwards passed through the valley one after another, Zhang Nan walked in the middle of the line with a few cronies, and Yuan Xi's banner followed closely behind him.

"Guys, it's a dangerous place! If the Montenegrin thieves are ambushed here, I am afraid that the good luck is unpredictable, everyone pass quickly! Zhang Nan marched forward and beckoned his subordinates to move forward quickly.

A lieutenant behind Zhang Nan said: "The general is too worried, the Black Mountain thieves usually have the main purpose of plundering grain and grass, and we are empty-handed, why do they provoke us for no reason?" ”

"Shoot me!"

Seeing Yuan Xi's banner walking to the center of the valley pass, Sun Han suddenly stood up and shouted at the archers who were in ambush.

"Kill!"

More than 200 archers lined up on both sides of the valley top, and with Sun Han's order, all of them stood up and shot arrows randomly, and for a while, the arrows were like flying locusts, shooting down like a torrential rain.

"Heaven is dead, I Zhang Nanye!"

Poor Zhang Nan wanted to ask for some credit in front of Yuan Xi, and volunteered to propose a strategy to divide the troops, but who would have thought that it would be a point of no return. With a scream, he was shot by random arrows.

After the killing, most of the more than 150 people led by Zhang Nan died under the random arrows, and only the five or six horsemen at the back saw that the situation was not good, and fell off their horses and fled.

Sun Han came down from the valley with his troops, searched in the pile of dead people for a while, found a few soldiers who had not yet breathed, and asked, "Where is Gongzi Yuan Xi?" ”

"Help me, save me and I'll tell you the answer......" the soldier pleaded, in a dying struggle.

Sun Han put on a kind face: "Okay, I'll send someone to rescue you immediately, first tell me if Yuan Xigongzi is in the team?" ”

The soldier was already dying, shook his head and said, "Young Master Xi has already gone from the trail to the camp of the Yin Pavilion......

As soon as the words fell, the sword in Sun Han's hand waved, and a head rolled down. Stood up and shouted to his subordinates: "Check one side by one, and make up for the one who is not dead!" ”

In an instant, there was another scream in the valley, and dozens of soldiers who had not yet breathed their breath sounded screams again, accompanied by the sword light and sword shadow, all of them died in Huangquan and died completely.

"Damn, I was taken by Yuan Xi, this kid, to the camp, it seems that I can't go back, I should go to Yecheng as soon as possible to join General Koji and buy a son!"

didn't shoot Yuan Xi, which made Sun Han very depressed, and muttered to himself in his heart.

Then he ordered to take off all the armor on the dead soldiers, and put five or six of the corpses into the clothes of the Black Mountain Thieves, disguised as the scene of the Black Mountain Thieves killing people and stealing goods, and then a group of people and horses quickly went south and hurried in the direction of Yecheng.
