Two days later, on the night of the Great South Chenling Cliff, one side!

"Smack!!"

In the silence of the night, the sound of a fall like this would undoubtedly alarm the soldiers of the rebel army patrolling nearby.

And when several patrolling guards quickly arrived at the edge of the cliff, they were laughing and crying to find that it was actually a ball of snow that caused such a loud noise.

"What are you doing? Again? ”

An uncle in the rebel army scratched his head a little depressed, looked up at the mountain, and said angrily, "Thief God, don't tease me and other patrol soldiers at will・・・・・・"

"Uncle," said one of the soldiers, poking his head into the ground, and said with some concern, "let's not get so close, I don't know if there will be an avalanche......"

Thinking of the snow sliding down from the mountain in the past few days, a trace of surprise flashed on the uncle's face, after all, the steep slope of the cliff in front of him is as high as twenty zhang, once the snow on the top of the mountain slides down and smashes on the head of the soldier under the cliff, the force of the impact will not go down and be hit by a heavy hammer, if it hits the head, I am afraid that there is a risk of life, no one wants to take this risk.

"Let's go, it's okay, let's go!" The chief waved his hand and shouted, and just wanted to turn around, but he saw a soldier squatting beside the falling snow in confusion, and asked suspiciously, "Xiao Wu, what are you doing?" ”

I saw Xiao Wu, the soldier in his mouth, pinched the snow in his hand slightly, and then looked at the mountain with a puzzled face, and said suspiciously, "Uncle, these snow blocks are ・・・・・・ very strong, not like they slipped naturally, as if someone deliberately piled them up and pushed them down from ・・・・・・the mountain."

Hearing this, the chief shook his head and said angrily, "Do you think Zhou Jun is idle, and he pushes snow in the middle of the night to trick me?" ”

"Huh?" Xiao Wu was stunned and stood up with a sneer.

"Gone!" After greeting, the chief rubbed his hands and scolded, "This damn weather is really fucking cold......"

"But isn't it, it's already late October, I don't think the Zhou army will attack our army on such a cold day, right? -- Why do we have to patrol around the clock? I think Zhou Jun should be comfortable in the camp to roast the fire, right? One of the soldiers grumbled bitterly.

"What does this say to Lao Tzu? Say to those vassal kings! The chief slapped the soldier with his eyes, then looked left and right, and whispered, "Almost, withdraw!" ”

"Yes!"

Several patrols and guards of the rebel army withdrew from the vicinity of the cliff one after another, and some continued to patrol the perimeter, but most of them had quietly escaped from the wind, after all, today's night wind was indeed quite cold.

And just as they were gone, there were a few faint conversations above the cliff.

"Those bastards, they actually said that we are so blessed to roast in the camp?"

Lying on the top of the mountain, Liao Li, the fierce general of the Great Zhou Army, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with palpitations, to be honest, he really didn't notice that there were patrolling guards nearby.

Beside Liao Li, Tang Hao, one of the deputy marshals of the Jizhou soldiers, smiled and whispered, "It's best for them to think so, in fact, even I didn't expect that we would sneak attack the enemy army in such a cold night, I thought that the military master would tell me to wait until the beginning of spring next year・・・・・・

"Isn't it!" Recalling that the soldiers of the Great Liang Army were still hostile to the military advisor Liu Qing, thinking that Liu Qing was deliberately delaying the Zhou army's fighter plane, Liao Li shook his head a little funny, thought about it, and ordered the nearby soldiers to say, "Brothers, the snow on the slope is almost firm, ready to start, all prepare!" ”

The nearby soldiers of Zhou who participated in the surprise attack nodded when they heard this, took out a water bladder from their arms, took a deep breath, and poured it up.

It was not water but scorching spirits, and Xie An considered that this surprise attack of the Zhou soldiers was very likely to be stiffened by the cold wind when they were waiting for the opportunity to ambush on the mountain, so he asked each soldier to bring a whole pot of spirits to invigorate the blood and ward off the cold.

Sure enough, after a few sips of spirits, Zhou Bing's faces, which were originally slightly pale by the cold wind, suddenly turned red, their eyes were round, and their whole bodies seemed to have inexhaustible strength, and some of them even sweated all over.

"In such weather, wine is really a good thing, don't change it for a big bowl ・・・・・・of meat" A few sips poured down the liquor in the water bladder, Liao Li let out a long breath, glanced at the soldiers behind him, and saw that the soldiers under his command all nodded to indicate that they had moved freely, and whispered to Tang Hao, "Deputy marshal!" ”

Tang Hao nodded when he heard this, and said in a low voice, "Let's go!" ”

As soon as the words fell, two soldiers handed over a few ropes, one end was tied to the trunk of the mountain, and the other end was handed over to Tang Hao and Liao Li, Tang Hao and Liao Li took a deep breath, pulled the rope, and slowly slid down from the cliff.

With them, there are two thousand generals and ten uncles, but there is no soldier, this is what Xie An meant, after all, in Xie An's opinion, since he is an officer, sometimes he must be the first soldier, as an example for the whole army.

The height of the cliff of 20 zhang is as high as 60 meters in the words of later generations, and it is not much risk to climb and slide down with ropes, the problem is guts, after all, this kind of height, ordinary people will inevitably have weak legs at a glance, not to mention those who have a fear of heights.

But even so, Tang Hao, Liao Li and the others still succeeded, and it was quite smooth, according to the kind of downward method that Xie An said, they successfully landed under the cliff in just forty breaths.

However, the last butt hit the ground, and these people frowned in pain. Fortunately, the snow was thick enough, but even so, the two uncles staggered to the ground, and they didn't stand up straight for a few breaths.

And with the ropes brought by Tang Hao, Liao Li and others when they fell, it was more convenient for the Zhou soldiers behind them to slide.

I saw Tang Hao, Liao Li, the two thousand generals and ten uncles pulling the rope below, and Sergeant Zhou on the cliff only needed to pull the rope with a strip of cloth, and his feet could hold the rope, and it would take almost less than twenty breaths to reach the bottom of the cliff after closing his eyes. Of course, the last butt landing on the ground is still inevitable, but this kind of pain is simply negligible for Zhou Jun, who was born and died

On this cold and windy night, when the rebel soldiers thought that the Zhou army was warming themselves in their camp, thousands of soldiers had descended from the mountain one after another, buried themselves in the snow, peeking at the rebel army camp dozens of feet away, waiting for orders.

"Go ahead with the plan!" Tang Hao whispered to Liao Li.

Liao Li nodded, and with a wave of his hand, he took away hundreds of strong Zhou soldiers and a group of people biting their knives and using their limbs together, slowly crawling on the snow towards the rebel army camp in the distance.

Before leaving, these soldiers wiped their hands and their faces and necks with snow, which was also ordered by Xie An in advance, although Liao Li didn't understand what was going on, but not to mention, after wiping like this for a while, his hands, which were still a little numb and stiff even after drinking, gradually regained some temperature.

It's closer......

It's getting closer......

“… Liao Li glanced at the dozens of soldiers behind him, and the dozens of soldiers knew that the cat quietly sneaked into the camp of the rebel army, and killed those guards one by one before they noticed that something was wrong.

It was not an ordinary soldier, but the fifty elites of the Dongling and Jinling clans that Xie An specially assigned to Liao Li.

After all, since it was a surprise attack, it was necessary to remove the sentry and kill the sentry one by one before the other party reacted, and when it came to assassination, who else was better than the assassins of the Dongling and Jinling people?

It is worthy of being the leader in Dongling and Jinling!

Seeing that those assassins killed the sentries outside the rebel army camp in three or two blows, and even the guards on the arrow tower were killed, without giving the other party a chance to shout during this time, Liao Li secretly praised in his heart.

Although Liao Li thought that he was not inferior to any of these assassins, he had to assassinate the guards without making them shout - Liao Li thought to himself that he could not do it.

"Up!"

Seeing that the assassins had removed the sentries for themselves, Liao Li let out a low sigh, holding the sword in his mouth with one hand and taking the lead in entering the barracks.

Although the purpose of his trip was to cause chaos, from the very beginning, he aimed at the heads of Li Yu, the king of Thorn Yang, and Li Gan, the king of Biyang.

At the same time, in the handsome tent of this military camp, Li Yu, the king of Jianyang, and Li Gan, the king of Biyang, did not know that their heads had been targeted by a general of the Zhou army, who could be called a fierce general, and they were still drinking and chatting in the tent.

"I really don't know how long this battle will last......" Li Yu, the king of Thorn Sun, sighed long as he poured wine.

After he was silent about Li Gan, the king of Biyang, he took a long breath and whispered, "It's not a question of how long it will take, it's a question of whether you can win in the end......

"Why?"

"Haven't you heard? Li Yan, the king of Chu, has been killed, and Li Xiao, the king of Han, has also fallen into the hands of Li Xian......"

"Hiss・・・・・・" Li Yu, the king of Thorn Sun, gasped when he heard this, and asked in surprise, "Where did you get the news?" ”

"From Li Bo in the valley!"

"Li Bo, the son of King Qiuyang?"

"Yes, that day I sent someone to ask Li Shen about the battle situation, and I happened to meet Li Bo's confidant in Li Shen's camp, and after asking carefully, I heard that Li Yan, the king of Chu, attacked the Sichuan Valley at night, and was killed by Fei Guo with a knife......"

"Fei Guo!" Li Yu, the king of Thorn Yang, widened his eyes and scolded angrily, "The lowly commoners actually killed my Great Zhou Li clan!" ――What happened to Li Xiao, the king of Han? ”

"I heard it a while ago, and I ・・・・・・ it from the mouths of several defeated soldiers of the Taiping Army," he took a sip of tea and said in a low voice to Li Gan, the king of Biyang, "I thought it was a fine work sent by the Zhou army, but I didn't expect it to be a defeated soldier of the Taiping army...... The Taipings, it's over! ”

"Finished?" Li Yu, the king of Thorn Yang, widened his eyes in astonishment, and said in shock, "Liu Qing of the Taiping Army, but there are 50,000 soldiers, and there is also a peerless tiger general under his command..."

"It's all over・・・・・・ Biyang King Li Gan shook his head and said in a low voice, "Does Xie An know?" ”

"That Li Shou Xiaoer's favored minister?"

"Hmm! - His mother-in-law came from Jijing to help・・・・・・"

Li Yu, the king of Thorn Sun, widened his eyes and said in horror, "Yanhu Ji Liangqiu Dance? ”

"No, no, no, the other one, the second mother-in-law's eldest grandson Xiangyu ・・・・・・"

"Concubine?" Li Yu, the king of Thorn Sun, had no less surprise on his face, and muttered, "That woman is even more vicious than Yan Hu Ji, and she was an extremely ruthless woman before she got married......

"Not really!" Li Gan, the king of Biyang, licked his lips and said in a low voice, "I learned from the mouths of those Taiping army defeats that Liu Qing of the Taiping Army and the woman of the eldest grandson Xiangyu fought wits and was one line behind, and finally lost, the 50,000 Taiping army was wiped out, and the fierce general Chen Bei in his army was also killed, and Liu Qing's Taiping army was completely finished......

"Huh," Li Yuchang, the king ・・・・・・of Thorn Sun, let out a long sigh and suddenly frowned and asked, "Then Li Xiao, the king of Han, fell into the hands of Li Xian?" ”

"No, I was killed by Liu Qing・・・・・・" A burst of anger flashed in the eyes of Li Gan, the king of Biyang.

"Liu Qing?"

"Ahh -- That little girl is ruthless and not inferior to the eldest grandson Xiangyu, and Li Yan, the king of Chu, was also killed by her and abandoned at will as an outcast, the purpose is to earn the heads of Xie An and the eldest grandson Xiangyu and his wife in the decisive valley・・・・・・ and he is afraid of trouble with Li Xiao, the king of Han, on the way, and he doesn't want to leave it to the Zhou army, so he asked a general named Yang Yu to kill Li Xiao, the king of Chu, with a knife・・・・・・"

"Damn slut!" Li Yu, the king of Thorn Sun, scolded angrily, and suddenly he seemed to think of something, frowned and said, "But then again, if Li Xiao falls into the hands of Li Xian, the end will not be much better... Li Xian's bastard thing! - Obviously I have the blood of my Li royal family, unexpectedly! There is a need to cut down the feudal domain and abandon the rules left by the ancestors! If it weren't for him being so aggressive, we wouldn't have rebelled with Li Shen, the king of Qin! ”

"What are you doing with this?" Glancing at Li Yu, the king of Thorn Yang, Li Gan, the king of Biyang, said in a deep voice, "Li Shou, the bastard born to a lowly palace maid, can become my Emperor of the Great Zhou, this country・・・・・・ alas! - Since he is unkind to Li Xian and doesn't give me a way to live, then don't blame me for being unjust! ”

"That makes sense!" Li Yu, the king of Thorn Sun, smiled, and then said worriedly, "But then again, compared to the Zhou army in the south, that mad dog in Yuzhou is what people are afraid of・・・・・・

"Li Cheng, King of Anling?" A hint of fear flashed in the eyes of Li Gan, the king of Biyang.

"Yes, I got the news last month・Li Chengna's family actually transferred out the dragon slave guard of the imperial tomb, directly entered the Ruyang Kingdom, beheaded the king of Ruyang, and hung his head in the country, and then transferred to the Yingyang Kingdom, and killed the sixty-year-old king Ying, as well as his second son, two daughters-in-law, four grandsons, four granddaughters, a granddaughter, a grandson-in-law, and a grandson-in-law who was still in infancy, and the head was hung in the country・・・・・・ and even threatened to say, "But all the vassal kings who assisted the Qin king Li Shen in raising troops to rebel, The six clans and swords are all slashed and killed! ”

"・・・・・・ so vicious?" Li Gan, the king of Biyang, was dumbfounded, and his hands couldn't help but tremble.

As if he had seen through the mind of Li Gan, the king of the thorn yang, Li Yu, the king of the thorn sun, said in a low voice, "I don't know when that mad dog will bite the old brother's Biyang Kingdom and the little king's Thorn Yang Kingdom・・・・・・"

"That'...... So what to do? ”

"What else can I do? ――Even if you withdraw from the army now, it's useless, two months ago, didn't the vassal kings led by King Yiyang hurriedly withdraw their troops and return to China in fright? The result? was still bitten to death by Li Cheng's mad dog, just like the dog mongrel said, cut it all with a knife and kill them all・・・・・・"

"Li Cheng!" Li Gan, the king of Biyang, gritted his teeth and scolded angrily, "He also has the blood of my Great Zhou Li clan, why is he so ruthless!" -- I didn't show the slightest mercy to my uncle ......"

It's also a shame that Li Cheng is not here, otherwise, Li Cheng will probably show sneer and disdain, after all, this man only has his brother Li Wei, the former crown prince of Zhou Aiwang, in his heart, and in addition, whether it is Li Shou or Li Xian, he doesn't care about it at all.

Today's Anling King Li Cheng has the military strategy, strategy and means of Emperor Li Ji to attack the Southern Tang Dynasty thirty years ago, and the amount of weapons has surpassed his father Li Ji and his brother Li Wei, if it was changed four years ago, there is no doubt that he will stand out among the princes and become the emperor of the Great Zhou, after all, he has this qualification.

It is undeniable that after three years in the imperial tomb and three years of honing his will, the current Anling King Li Cheng is far more terrifying than Li Xian and Li Shou, if this man has the heart to seize the throne, it will definitely be the most terrible opponent. But fortunately, since the death of his brother Li Wei, Li Cheng's thoughts about the throne have completely faded, and now he has only one thought in his heart, that is, Li Shen, the king of Qin, has to die well, but all the vassal kings who dare to help the king of Qin are his Li Cheng's enemies, and they will be killed one by one! It doesn't matter if he is an uncle and nephew, it doesn't matter if he has the blood of the Li clan of the Great Zhou in his body!

may be because of the mention of the relationship between Li Cheng, the king of Anling, Li Yu, the king of Jianyang, and Li Gan, the king of Biyang, are not optimistic, after all, judging from the route of Li Cheng, the king of Anling, sooner or later they will kill the country of Jianyang and the country of Biyang.

The former fifth son of the emperor, Li Cheng, who was protected by his brother Li Wei and whose talent was not inferior to his brother, has now long since turned into a soaring evil dragon, and he is definitely a more terrifying child of the royal family than Li Xian, the king of the eight sages.

"So far, we can only grit our teeth and help Li Shen, the king of Qin・・・・・・, to succeed," gritting his teeth, Li Yu, the king of Thorn Yang, said in a deep voice, "If Li Shen, the king of Qin, is defeated, my thirty-one vassal kings may be bitten to death by Li Cheng's mad dog......

"Hmm!" Li Gan, the king of Biyang, nodded heavily, and said in a deep voice, "For the sake of my hundreds of years of Sheji in the Great Zhou!" For the rules left by our ancestors! ”

And at this moment, the tent was lifted, and a bloodied general walked in, grinning, "General Ben doesn't think you two can survive!" ”

“… ・・・" The faces of Li Yu, the king of Thorn Yang, and Li Gan, the king of Biyang, changed their faces suddenly, turned their heads to look at the general in amazement, and exclaimed, "You...... Who are you? ”

"Jizhou Army Sanpin Guerrilla General, General Liao Li!"

"Ji ・・・・・・ Jizhou Military ・・・・・・" The two princes with the surname changed when they heard the words, and subconsciously shouted, "Someone, someone!" - Showu! Zhangwu! ”

"Zhangwu? Is this guy? - Huh? Was this guy a general? One knife was beheaded by General Ben! Liao Li took out a bloody head from behind his body, only to see Li Yu, the king of Thorn Yang, his face changed greatly, after all, he recognized that this person was his confidant and favorite general, and he was also a general who was guarding outside the tent, Zhangwu.

"Hey!" Seeing that the two vassal kings were dumbfounded, Liao Li chuckled, and then a bit of fierceness flashed in his eyes, and he stepped forward and cut off the head of Li Yu, the king of Thorn Yang, and Wen Yao's blood suddenly splashed him, and then killed Li Gan, the king of Biyang.

Looking at the corpses of the two vassal kings in front of him, and then at the head of the general Zhangwu in his hand, a trace of hesitation flashed in Liao Li's eyes.

As if he had made a decision, Liao Li casually threw aside the heads of the generals in his hands and cut off the heads of the two vassal kings.

"Forget it, it seems that this kind of three-legged cat kung fu general, in my Jizhou army, I can't even mix with thousands of generals, if you lose it, you will lose it, there is no pity...... After all, these two are traitors, hey! ”
