A small stream in the middle of the mountain, winding down from the top of the mist-shrouded mountain.

In the dense jungle, many weeds and shrubs grew on both sides of the stream, and the wild branches of the shrubs pressed heavily against the water, and were washed by the flowing water.

A little girl, with her tattered red dress tied around her waist and a basket in her hand, followed a boy older than her.

In some places, the water is very shallow, and in some places a small waterfall is formed, the water flow will be faster, and the waterfall will be deeper, the little girl's skirt is obviously not fitted, probably snatched back when the Khitan soldiers attacked the city and plundered the village, this is a girl's skirt, it is a little fat on her, and her movements become more clumsy after being splashed with water, but she always carefully protects the small basket in her hand.

The little boy who walked in front was her brother, he was slowly looking for it in the stream, occasionally turning over a stone, and he would quickly grab a cricket dancing with a big claw from the stream, and the little girl happily handed over the bamboo basket to take the cricket, which was fried or roasted, it was a very delicious thing.

This scene is peaceful and beautiful, like a paradise with no quarrel with the world, Yang Fan and Fei Mo sat on a big rock by the river, looking at them with a smile.

The bandages on Yang Fan's legs had been removed, and he was lifting the placket of his robe to let the sun shine directly on his thighs. The arrow wound had basically healed, and there was a tender red scar, only in the very center there was a black blood scab that had not fallen off.

"You're getting better, aren't you?"

Fei Mo's eyes fell on Yang Fan's injury, and he suddenly smiled inexplicably: "You don't always have to observe how many open and dark sentinels we have in the periphery, and you don't have to ask those children about the way out, when you heal from your injuries, I'll send you away!" ”

Yang Fan suddenly turned his head and looked at him in surprise.

Fei Mo said with a smile: "You think I'm a fool and can't see that you want to escape?" ”

Yang Fan sighed and said, "You let me go, aren't you afraid that your khan will trouble you?" ”

Fei Mo touched the back of his neck and smiled: "What's the use of keeping you for us now?" You've saved my life twice, and I'll let you live. This is called the separation of grievances. Why wouldn't the Khan have cut off my head for this? ”

Yang Fan was silent for a moment and smiled bitterly: "That's me being a villain in vain, I knew you would let me go, and I didn't have to make so many preparations." ”

Fei Mo laughed. Yang Fan also smiled, laughed for a moment, the smile lines on his face gradually faded, and said in a low voice: "There is a sentence that maybe I shouldn't say." But I still have to advise you, for yourself and your people, think of a way out earlier! ”

Fei Mo said disapplausively, "A way out? Do you think we're going to lose? ”

Yang Fan said seriously: "It's not that I think you will lose, it's that you will definitely lose!" ”

Fei Mo was just about to open his mouth, but Yang Fan raised his hand to stop him: "Fight." Fighting is money, food, and a supplement for soldiers. Yes, you have won a few battles for the time being, but these victories will not guarantee that you will win forever. Until now, you have not even had a place of your own. When the fire is at its highest, it is also the time when the firewood is about to run out! ”

Fei Mo wanted to speak and stopped. Finally angrily picked up a piece of wood. It was a piece of rotten wood that had washed up the cliff when the flash flood broke out, and Fei Mo broke it hard. Snap the piece of wood in two and say loudly, "We won't lose!" Can't lose! ”

Fei Mo patted his buttocks, turned around and left, Yang Fan looked at his back, sighed softly, and when he turned his head again, his body suddenly tensed, and the half of the tree trunk that was broken by Fei Mo was as sharp as a hook, and he grasped it in his hand, Yang Fan stared at a swaying flower and grass in front of the boulder, and shouted solemnly: "Who?" ”

There was a flash behind the flowers, like a snake coiled on the trunk of a tree and posing as a branch, or a crocodile floating in the water pretending to be a rotten wood, and you could not even notice it when it did not move, and a pretty woman dressed in a cloak of flowers and plants stood up from the wild flowers and grass......

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

After a while, Yang Fan left the rock and hurried towards the temporary village of the Khitans.

There are several layers of defense on the periphery of the village, so no one in the village is watching Yang Fan, because of Fei Mo's friendliness to him, the Khitan people in the village treat him as their own, and in this village, he is completely free.

"Fei Mo!"

Yang Fan saw many people coming out of a huge shack from afar, and when he hurriedly looked at it, they were all big and small leaders. Fei Mo was also among them, talking and laughing with others. Hearing Yang Fan's shout, Fei Mo said a word to the same person, and greeted him with a smile.

Fei Mo walked up to Yang Fan, looked him up and down, and suddenly hahadaxiao got up, looking extremely proud.

Yang Fan originally had something to say to him, but seeing that he looked so strange, he couldn't help but be stunned and said strangely: "What's wrong with you?" ”

Fei Mo said with a smile: "I don't have to send someone to send you out of the mountain, in two days, let's go together, out of the mountain, I will let you go!" ”

Yang Fan was stunned and said, "You want to go out of the mountain?" What are you doing out of the mountains, and you are going to attack cities and plunder land? ”

Fei Mo said proudly: "Wrong! Not only will I go out of the mountains, but our whole clan will go out of the mountains to build the kind of foundation you said! ”

Yang Fan frowned, and a faint sense of ominousness floated: "Something's wrong, is it...... Could it be that the imperial court has suffered another defeat? ”

Fei Mo hahadaxiao, crossed his waist and said shyly: "Not bad! Our generalissimo fought another big victory, the 180,000 troops sent by your imperial court were defeated by our generalissimo, and even your prime minister and military secretary Wang Xiaojie also gave his life in this battle! ”

Yang Fan's face changed abruptly, and he shouted, "How is it possible? How so! ”

"What's impossible?" Fei Mo was even more proud when he saw that Yang Fan was surprised, so he told Yang Fan the good news that Sun Wanrong had just sent back.

It turned out that Wang Xiaojie led 180,000 Zhou troops into Hebei, and Sun Wanrong learned that the Zhou army was outnumbered, and it was difficult to use their arrogance to lure them into the scheme as he did in the first war, so he immediately shrank his forces, fought and retreated, luring the Zhou army all the way north to pursue.

When they retreated to the vicinity of the Huangzhang Valley, they could only retreat back into the mountains, relying on the layers of mountains as obstacles, but Sun Wanrong was unwilling to retreat, and it was impossible to hide the news of Li Qianzhong's death when he returned to the mountains this time, and his current prestige was not enough to win the support of all the clansmen, so he was determined to fight again.

So, he led his army to attack Lulong again. And deliberately procrastinate the war. Let the Zhou army's messenger for help successfully arrive at Wang Xiaojie's Chinese army camp. At the same time, he sent a letter to King Xi, asking King Xi to feint to attack the cities of the Great Zhou Dynasty and attract Wu Youyi's troops, so that he did not dare to send troops to cooperate with Wang Xiaojie to fight.

After Wang Xiaojie received Lu Long's urgent document, he immediately rushed to Lu Long day and night to relieve the siege. At this time, he encountered the same problem as Cao Renshi, whether to cross the Huangzhang Valley.

It was here that Cao Renshi was defeated. When the 160,000-strong army was wiped out, Wang Xiaojie was willing to repeat his mistakes, and he sent a scout horse in advance, and he also detected that there were indeed Khitan activities in this area.

But if you don't go to Huangzhang Valley, you can only bypass the mountains, and in this case, it will take more than ten days to reach Lulong at the earliest. After asking a local guide. Wang Xiaojie learned that this Huangzhang Valley is also called Xixia Stone Valley, and there is another canyon at the other end of several mountains, called Dongxia Stone Valley.

The valley road in the East Gorge Stone Valley is shorter than the West Gorge Stone Valley, and the mountain is dangerous, because there is a cliff on one side and a cliff with clouds on the other side, so it is not easy to pass, and it is also not easy for others to ambush it.

Because the peaks there can't be climbed at all. Even if someone could climb up. The steep mountain wall was also bare, and it was impossible to carry the rolling logs and rocks up. There are not a few people standing on it, which can completely rule out the possibility of the Khitans ambushing and raiding on the mountain.

In view of this, Wang Xiaojie decided to transport troops from the Dongxia Stone Valley, this valley has several sections of mountain roads that are very narrow, and even the grain carts are not easy to pass, but Wang Xiaojie went here to relieve the siege of Lulong, and it is a big deal to abandon the grain carts behind, as long as the army passes through the valley and relieves the siege of Lulong, there will naturally be grain and grass supplements.

So, Wang Xiaojie commanded the army to feint to Huangzhang Valley, suddenly turned around halfway, and rushed to the Dongxia Stone Valley, not wanting the Dongxia Stone Valley to be guarded by Khitan soldiers, as soon as the two sides fought, Wang Xiaojie knew that he had encountered the main force of the Khitans.

He knew that Huangzhang Valley had become a heart disease for the Zhou army, as long as the suspicious array was arranged, it would be enough to deter the Zhou army, and if he didn't go to Huangzhang Valley, the most likely choice for the Zhou army would only be Dongxia Stone Valley, and he would have withdrawn the main force from Lulong a long time ago, and Chen Bing would be here.

This time, he couldn't take advantage of the terrain to ambush in the valley, and it was impossible for the Zhou army to make such a simple plan to lure the enemy, so he concentrated the main force and crossed the Shigu Pass in the East Gorge to start a decisive battle with the Zhou army!

As soon as the two sides fought, Wang Xiaojie knew that this was the main force of the other party, so he understood the strategy of the other party, so he personally led the elite as the vanguard, in order to annihilate the enemy's main force here, so as not to be escaped by it, at that time the war was inevitably protracted, and this was the situation that the empress was most worried about.

During the battle, Sun Wanrong made the Khitan soldiers feint and lured the enemy deeper. Wang Xiaojie was eager to win, but he didn't notice it, and waved his troops to follow up, biting them to the death, not letting them out of the battle, and the two sides fought and advanced, until they reached the other end of the Dongxia Stone Valley.

At this time, the 180,000 troops of the Zhou army formed a long dragon, and the dragon's head had reached the valley mouth at the other end of the valley, and the dragon body stretched for more than ten miles, and half of it was outside the valley mouth at the other end of the valley.

Although the strength of the Zhou army was superior, but because of the narrow valley road, the number of people who could engage and fight with the enemy was limited, seeing that the Zhou army was about to attack the valley mouth, Sun Wanrong suddenly ordered a counterattack, regardless of life and death.

Wang Xiaojie was not to be outdone, waved the army forward, the terrain in this valley is not suitable for arranging troops, speaking of unfavorable conditions, it is unfavorable to both sides, so Wang Xiaojie is not afraid, but he knows that he is fighting here, but the backyard is on fire.

It turned out that Sun Wanrong considered that although the Zhou army had 180,000 people, once they entered the valley, the large number of troops could not be used at all, and the strength advantage of the Zhou army could not be brought into play, so he did not need to arrange the 60,000 troops here at all.

Therefore, he only arranged 40,000 troops at the mouth of the valley, and the other 20,000 soldiers and horses were ambushed in the Huangzhang Valley, if the Zhou army really dared to pass through the Huangzhang Valley, the 20,000 troops could rely on the favorable terrain to hold on, and the 40,000 troops he placed in the Dongxia Stone Valley could also go to the aid in time to cut off the Zhou army.

The reverse is also true, if the Zhou army chooses Dongshi Canyon as a breakthrough, then the 20,000 Khitan soldiers and horses ambushed in the Huangzhang Valley can also rush to help in time when the battle is in full swing here.

From this arrangement, Sun Wanrong's hand is indeed better than Wang Xiaojie, a famous martial arts general. The rebellious deputy marshal Su Honghui was commanding the army into the valley, and 20,000 Khitan iron cavalry suddenly came out from the flank, and they shouted while rushing to kill: "The Tang people are in the plan, and the Tang army will be annihilated!" ”

Su Honghui was shocked, only to say that he really fell into the ambush of the Khitans, especially the 20,000 Khitan iron horsemen who rushed here with Huan'er, and they were overwhelmed at a glance, and they didn't know how many people and horses there were.

The Khitan reinforcements scared Su Honghui away, and immediately attacked from behind the Zhou army, while continuing to make noise, shouting that the Tang people had been ambushed, and the Tang army in the valley did not know why, but only knew that there were Khitans attacking before and after.

As soon as Wang Xiaojie died, the Zhou army was even more unintentional, and the mess could not form a combat force at all, and was attacked by the Khitans on both sides, and was slaughtered, and then Sun Wanrong waved his army to chase Su Honghui, so frightened that Su Honghui fled all the way, and could not form an army, and could not launch a counterattack at all.

The Khitan people are like a rainbow, and King Xi is also confident when he hears the news, he was just a feint, but at this time it has also become a real attack on the city of Wuzhou, Wu Youyi heard that Wang Xiaojie's 180,000 army was broken in half in a battle, and the remaining half also fled, so shocked that he didn't dare to go out of the city, and only relied on the strong city to resist the attack of the Xi people.

In the entire Hebei region, there was no longer a Zhou army strong enough to threaten them, and in this case, Sun Wanrong decided to start building his own foundation, and the death of the Supreme Khan Li Duzhong could also be announced at this time. The joy of victory diluted the impact of Li Quanzhong's death, and his authority was established by the battle.

After Yang Fan heard this, his heart was full of pathos: "Since when did my Datang become so weak?" Taizong Li Shimin will not talk about it, Gaozong Li Zhi is also a great martial artist!

This man who is known for being afraid of his wife, but he is never weak in the face of foreign enemies, he is the one who incorporates the east and west of the Green Mountains into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and he is the one who extends the national border of the Tang Dynasty to the waters of Wuhu......

It's only been a few years, how can the armed forces of the dynasty be so weak, in the hands of a small Khitan, that they have been defeated again and again, and the defeat is as miserable as promised? ”

Compared with Yang Fan's loneliness, Fei Mo was full of energy: "By the way, what are you calling me for?" ”

Yang Fan realized that he still had a big thing to do, and he couldn't care about feeling sorry for the country for a while, so he hurriedly said: "I feel a little hot in my body, I'm afraid that something is wrong, you can get me some medicine!" "Fei Mo is half a local doctor, he knows some medical skills, and the medicinal materials he looted are all kept by him.

Fei Moqi said: "Do you have a fever? "Raise your hand and try his forehead.

Yang Fan blocked his hand and said impatiently: "I can't feel this yet?" Hurry up and take the medicine, don't be reluctant? ”

Fei Mo smiled and said, "I know you're in a bad mood, so I don't care about you!" After saying that, he hummed and chirped and sang an unknown ballad, and went to get medicine for him......

P: In the early hours of the morning, I sincerely ask for monthly tickets and recommended tickets!! (To be continued......)
