Although the vast Kulan Mountains are not as skyscraper as the Himalayas and difficult to cross as the Green Mountains, they are also an extremely steep place.
This northwest-southeast mountain range, the peaks and peaks are continuous, there is no end in sight, the central part of the mountains are covered with snow, and the mountainside is frozen soil above.
Eagle Yang, Long Xiang, Xiao Cavalry three battalion soldiers, one after another difficult walking, end to end, up to several miles, if from the sky overlook, it is like a line of moving ants, at this time as long as the god of the mountain sneezes, an avalanche covers down, in an instant can make this ranger disappear from this world.
Coming to a fork in the road, Liu An pointed to the front of due east and said: "If you go from there, you can reach the city of Erji, the city is not big, but it can be guarded against strictly, it is a pure military town, the city does not allow idle people to enter, the past merchants can only find a place to rest outside the city, unlike the city of Kulan is more free to enter and exit, I was not able to enter at the beginning." I only heard from the past merchants that there were thousands of people inside, but in fact, I don't know what the truth is. ”
He followed the team and turned north, and the road became more and more rugged.
The mountains in the Central Plains, there are many woodcutters and hunters who live, but there is no one on the Kulan Mountain, there are wild beasts hidden in the bushes, and frightened birds occasionally fly on the cliffs, so go for two days, the mountain is gradually lowering, the white-headed peaks turn to the back, looking back at the place, yesterday where it has been separated by the precipice and deep valley, Zhang Mai is a little surprised that he has walked so far. With such a traversal, even the most agile mastiff can't be tracked.
After crossing more than a dozen hills, the three battalions of men and horses stepped into the desert. After entering the desert, the war horse that was originally carrying Zhang Mai all the way was tired, Guo Luo changed him with a camel, Liu An was positioned in front to lead the way, so far Zhang Mai was completely unfamiliar with the surrounding scene, thousands of zhang yellow sand, everywhere is the same landscape, in this land even have to have special skills to recognize the road, Zhang Mai thought, if he let himself turn back, I am afraid that he will not be able to find Kulan City. I really can't figure out how Liu An found and identified the road.
So walked for another seven or eight days, the large army only saw the lamp under the valley, the pioneer of the Yingyang battalion first entered the valley to report, Guo Shidao led the generals to meet out, the three battalions of soldiers were taken in, this journey will go down, the soldiers of the reserve camp are all bitter, once in the valley "disbandment order" the whole battalion is like the skeleton scattered, but the Longxiang battalion soldiers have been trained for a long time, although the body is tired, but it is scattered one by one, each to the camp tent.
At this time, Guo Shiyong, Yang Dingguo and others had already arrived, and everyone welcomed Zhang Mai and others to the tent of the Dadu Protector, Yang Dingguo and others were overjoyed, and said to Zhang Mai: "Special envoy, this harvest is really a lot!" ”
Guo Shidao stroked the god card brought back by Zhang Mai and others, but after hearing about the Zheng family, he was embarrassed, and said: "I have been friends for a hundred years, but now I am estranged here. ”
"That's not true," Zhang Mai said: "I can see that Zheng Wei still has attachment to our Datang in his heart, but he has lived in peace for a long time and can't make up his mind." ”
Yang Dingguo said: "No matter what, this time the envoy took two cities in a row, his prestige was greatly boosted, and he brought back so much money and food, and we will have more confidence in our hearts in the future." Now the soldiers of the third battalion are tired, so it is better to rest for a few days and then decide where to go. ”
Zhang Mai said: "No, I'll rest for one night and go to Talas tomorrow." ”
All the generals were surprised, but Guo Shidao twisted his beard and said, "Good idea!" But the envoy is tired too, so he might as well leave me like this. ”
Zhang Mai said: "Actually, I don't feel tired, I'd better go." After coming to this world, after experiencing so many life and death experiences, Zhang Mai's physique is getting stronger and stronger, although he has only experienced a rather difficult march, but under repeated victories, his spirit is vibrant.
Guo Shidao didn't compete with him, so he agreed, Zhang Mai said: "This time, I will call the five battalions of Feixiong, Leopard Tao, Zhenwu, Guangwu, and Xingwu, and the other battalions will stay in Dengxia Valley." ”
Yang Yi raised his eyebrows and shouted, "Why don't you use me to raise the camp!" ”
Zhang Mai said: "The Yingyang camp has just come back and needs to rest. ”
Yang Yi said: "I'm not tired!" ”
"If you are not tired, it does not mean that the soldiers of the whole battalion are not tired." Zhang Mai said: "After such a few defeats, the Hui people must be doubly cautious, which can be seen from their actions when approaching Kulan City this time. In this battle, it was still based on swift light cavalry, and when it came to the city of Talas, it was advisable to take it, and if it was not desirable, it was to plunder its suburbs, and not to entangle. Five days after I set off, the Longxiang battalion guarded the lamp down the valley, and the two battalions of Yingyang and Xiaoqi could set off again to Xiaba'er Si and Julan City, and act at the opportunity, and come back after a while, the city can not be attacked without force, and there is no need to defend it if it is captured, in short, do not be entangled by the enemy. Talas is a fortified city, I expect that even if the Sekan division of troops will be prepared, I am afraid that it will be difficult to break through with one blow, if we forcibly attack the city and do not resist, the enemy will see through our virtual reality, and the Saikan reinforcements will arrive again, and the inside and outside should be combined, and our army will be dangerous. Let's tease Sekan again, make him tired, and when Sekan is tired and impetuous, let's join forces again and beat him in the underbelly. ”
After the military meeting, the generals went their separate ways, and Zhang Mai said to Guo Shidao: "Guo Lao, if I go out this time, the reserve barracks will be handed over to you." ”
Guo Shidao smiled and said, "I have taken a cursory look just now, these new Ding physique is not bad, but the training is not enough. Envoys, you can go with confidence, and when you come back, the old man will turn them into elite soldiers if he doesn't dare to say it, but he will definitely make them act more lawfully. ”
Zhang Mai called Xi Sheng again, and asked him to lead a team of men and horses to ambush on the road to Dengshang City, if someone from the Zheng family came, "If there is no army to follow, bring Dengxia Valley, if there is an army to follow, report immediately." ”
It's been night when I returned to the Qincha Mansion, I walked such a long way, and the meeting consumed a lot of brainpower, I was really tired, and my heart was tired, but like last time, after entering the house, I found that the house was well organized, and when I touched the kettle, it was warm and very warm, but I still didn't see Guo Fen, but Yang Qing and An Yingying came to help him take care of his life.
"Is she still mad at me?" Zhang Mai asked.
When An Yingying was about to speak, Yang Qing elbowed her and asked, "Who are you asking?" ”
"Who else." Zhang Mai smiled, he saw Yang Qing teasing himself, so he guessed that most of the things were not bad.
"How do I know who you're asking."
"Ouch, sister-in-law, don't hang my appetite." Zhang Mai said: "Who else can I ask? ”
Yang Qingdao: "Well, that person is really angry and sad." ”
"Sad?" Zhang Mai was a little anxious and said, "She's sad? ”
"yes." Yang Qingdao: "People are the first beauty in Wuhu, you have received gifts from others, but you haven't visited them once until now, so naturally you have to be sad." ”
Zhang Mai knew that Yang Qing was still ridiculing himself, smiled a little embarrassedly, suddenly remembered something, and shouted: "Ouch, isn't it because Fen'er has been angry with me for so long...... It's not because I'm out of my mouth, but because of that thing about the first beauty of Wuhu? Good sister-in-law, don't tease me, tell me. ”
Yang Qing smiled and said: "Is she angry, why is she angry, why don't you ask yourself, but come to ask me?" ”
Zhang Mai thought about it, after dinner, he took a piece of loot seized from Julan City - a bag of silk, against the moonlight, to find Guo Fen, Yang Qing and others heard the news, and had already notified the women who lived with Guo Fen to avoid it, to give the little couple a chance to be alone, Zhang Mai held the bag of silk in his hand, thinking about how to talk to Guo Fen, his hand raised and was about to knock on the door, when suddenly he shouted behind him: "Special envoy!" Envoy! You're here! ”
Zhang Mai was stunned, and when he turned around, he saw that it was Tang Renxiao, Murong Yang, Xiaoshi, Ma Xiaochun, Gan Monkey and other soldiers of the Longxiang battalion. I've found you! ”
Although he was disturbed about his good deeds, he couldn't get angry with these brothers in the Longxiang camp, and just asked, "What are you looking for me for?" As he spoke, he looked at Tang Renxiao.
Tang Renxiao was a little ashamed and said: "Special envoy, they must come, I can't suppress them......"
Xiao Shi was already angry: "Envoy, we heard that you are going out of the valley tomorrow to fight, right?" ”
"So what?" Zhang Mai smiled: "Where am I going to fight, do I want you to approve it?" ”
Little Stone cried out, "If you are going to war, then who are you going to take with you to fight?" ”
Zhang Mai smiled: "I don't need to tell you this. ”
Little Stone shouted, "Do you have our share?" ”
Zhang Mai then understood, it turned out that Tang Renxiao went to pass the order just now, telling the soldiers of the Longxiang battalion to rest for the next seven days, Xiaoshi and others were going to come to Zhang Mai to play, Tang Renxiao stopped and said that the envoy would go out tomorrow, and they were not allowed to harass, and the soldiers would hear that Zhang Mai was going out to fight but did not take himself to do it, and ran to him overnight, at this time Zhang Mai said: "It's not that I don't take you, it's that the Longxiang battalion has been fighting repeatedly, and everyone is tired, so let you rest and rest." ”
Xiaoshi and the other big ones were dissatisfied: "We want to rest, so why don't you rest?" ”
Zhang Mai said: "I am a general, you are soldiers, how can you be the same?" I'll get some sleep, and I'll be back tomorrow. ”
The small stone stretched out his arm to puff out his muscles, the big stone patted his chest, and the dry monkey rubbed his hands and said, "We don't need to rest, we can fight now." ”
Zhang Mai smiled: "You don't have to rest, but you don't necessarily need others either." Okay, okay, I'll take you two fires this time, and the others ......"
This time, it was not only Zhang Mai's two guards who came, but several other generals who came with them also shouted: "No! No way! Envoy, you can't favor one over the other! ”
They all shouted, refusing to back down.
At this time, if Zhang Mai took out the majesty of the envoy, he could also suppress them from daring to say any more, but in addition to having a "strictness" to the Longxiang camp, he also had an "intimacy". Then he was a little moved, he and these soldiers were born and died, and they didn't go out to fight with them, but they deliberately took a step back and said: "Don't shout so loudly, just a few of you are not tired, the whole battalion is 600 people, isn't everyone tired?" ”
Xiao Shi and the others shouted: "Special envoy, go to the camp by yourself and see if everyone is willing to stay here and do nothing, or are you willing to go to war with the envoy!" ”
Everyone said, "Yes, yes!" ”
Zhang Mai said: "Okay, then I'll ask, but as long as one person is not willing to leave with me, the whole camp will have to stay." ”
This is a rather harsh premise, but all the soldiers are full of confidence, and they all say: "Follow the envoy to ask!" We guarantee that there is not a single one who does not want to. He hugged Zhang Mai and walked towards the place where the Longxiang camp was stationed.
Zhang Mai originally came to find Guo Fen, but was interrupted by the small stone, so he was thinking about the affairs of the army, and walked more than a dozen steps before he remembered Guo Fen's affairs again, the bag of silk was still in his arms, he looked back, wanted to turn around, but there were brothers from the Longxiang camp before and after, Zhang Mai thought: "This will turn back, these boys have to laugh at me for being a heavy color and a light friend." With them here, it's hard for me to talk to Fen'er. Well, let's go to the camp first, and then come back to find Fen'er. ”
After they left, Yang Qing and An Yingying came out of the shadows, and An Yingying scolded suddenly: "These rude men don't pick the hour when they do things, even if they come half an hour late, will they die!" ”
The door opened a crack, revealing Guo Fen's somewhat thin face, Yang Qing saw her biting her lip gently, with the sadness in her eyes that hope was suddenly disappointed, she is also a woman, remembering the mood before seeing Guo Luo just now, thinking about the kind of joy when she threw herself into the arms of her husband who returned from the battle, and then thinking that Guo Luo suddenly turned around and left when he arrived at the door, then he didn't know how sad he was, and said: "Fen'er don't worry, I'll go chase him back." ”
Guo Fen hurriedly grabbed her and said, "Don't, sister-in-law, right now, the shape of our Tang Army seems to be safe and dangerous, and men should focus on big things!" I just know what he wants, I'll wait. You must not go, lest you disturb his state of mind. ”
