As he was talking, Zhang Jian looked at Wei Feng, and said again: "In fact, according to the opinion of the last general, if you want to hide troops near thistle, the best thing is to be located in the west of Xiaoyan Mountain (now Fangshan District, Beijing), Xiaoyan Mountain is about forty or fifty miles away from thistle, more than a dozen mountains above 100 zhang, a radius of hundreds of miles, its mountain range is a branch of Taihang Mountain, and there is no connection with Dayan Mountain, and there are many valleys in the mountains, the terrain is more complicated, if it is not suspected in advance, it is difficult for ordinary people to guess that there will be heavy soldiers hidden in the mountains. ”

"Oh?" Wei Feng was slightly moved, and ordered: "Zhang Jian, I will suspect that there are Wei people ambushing soldiers in Xiaoyan Mountain, I will hand you a task today, you and your brothers will go into the mountain to search, if you can find the Wei people before sunrise, you will count the special merits, if you search within three days, you will count the great merits, and you can't find them."

Wei Feng muttered: "I will give you half a month, and you have to run through every valley to make sure that the Wu Wei people are still ambushing the army, how about it?" ”

In an instant, the soldiers of Yan Kingdom were all excited, if there were really Wei people ambushing soldiers in Xiaoyan Mountain, and they could find it tonight, it would be a special merit, the special merit was not only to add officials to the knighthood, but also to enjoy priority in the distribution of property and beauties, during this time, Zhang Ning, Li Zhu and other personal guards bragged to them about which noble beauties they had been assigned to, such as Zhang Ning, he had been assigned to the queen, princess, Lang and other eight noble girls in Linyi, Li Zhu had been assigned to the princess of Baekje and Tuoba Yi's favorite concubine, and others, All of them took the trouble to boast repeatedly, which made the eyes of Zhang Jian and others, who had been Yanjun's pawns, almost fall out.

Zhang Jian hurriedly arched his hand: "Please rest assured, general, at least eighty percent of us here are locals from Youzhou." Accustomed to running in the mountains for a long time, although I dare not say that I have searched Xiaoyan Mountain in just one night, it is not a problem to be six or seven! ”

Wei Feng nodded and advised: "You guys are ready, set off immediately, be careful, and expose your whereabouts in a hurry!" As he spoke, he turned his head and ordered, "Zhang Ning, you also bring thirty brothers with you to protect their safety." And get acquainted with the terrain! ”

"Yes!" Zhang Ning, Zhang Jian and others saluted together. Turn away

Out of caution, Wei Feng did not go to surprise the combined forces of Feng Ba and Gao Tande, and in the evening of the same day, the two armies were stationed in Lu County. Because the county seat is too small. There is no room for an army of 90,000. had to choose to go down outside the city, all of them were on full alert, and the scouts were far away. For fear that Wei Feng would attack at night.

The sun gradually set, half a transparent moon appeared in the sky, in a valley of Xiaoyan Mountain, there was a solemn atmosphere, except for the occasional neighing of horses in the distance, there was not even the chirping of cicadas, which was obviously extremely abnormal, because there was an army of more than 30,000 people stationed in the valley!

This is the order of Tuoba Jue, secretly infiltrated the most elite troops of the Wei State in Yanshan, this army quietly left Pingcheng in the middle of the night on the fourth day of the first month of May, picked up no man's land, day and night, on the tenth day of the first month of May, that is, the same day when the main force of Wei Feng arrived at Ji, in the ancient Beikou of the present day over the Great Yan Mountain, at that time the ancient Beikou did not build the Great Wall, and there was no beacon lookout, its strategic value was not unearthed in history until the Northern Qi period, just suitable for the Wei ambush to sneak in.

Indeed, as Zhang Jian said, Dayan Mountain is too far away from the thistle, so it enters the Gubeikou, turns eastward again, enters the mountain area and continues to go south, until May 15, it lurks into Xiaoyan Mountain, and three days later, finally finds a suitable valley.

A full twelve days have passed, the whole army of 35,000 people gnawed dry food, drank rainwater, the mosquitoes in the mountains are particularly powerful, especially in the middle of summer, that can only be described as ferocious, the grass is deep and dense, many mosquitoes are more than a few years old mosquitoes, maybe more experienced, the mouth is particularly ruthless, the bite is a big bag, and the horses have been bitten for a long time, they can be bitten alive by mosquitoes, and even the bite to death is not impossible!

What's even worse is that there are a lot of poisonous snakes in the mountains, within 12 days, dozens of people were bitten to death, although this point of people can only be a drop in the bucket compared to the army of 35,000 people, but they were bitten to death by poisonous snakes, and the dead nest also made the army have a stir! Lurking in the mountains, especially for the Tuoba cavalry who grew up in the grassland and had no experience in surviving in the mountains, this kind of day is a day when people are not people, ghosts are not ghosts!

The hidden difficulties, not to mention the young new Wei Wang Tuoba usurpation, even the scheming Mu Chong failed to predict it fully, his iron hooves stepped all over the northern land, but it was the first time to drill into the depths of Xiaoyan Mountain, and it was all about relying on the guidance of the guide, otherwise they might not be able to find a valley suitable for hiding soldiers.

But no matter how difficult it is, you have to endure it, in short, two words, bear with it!

At this moment, Tuoba Yu's face was gloomy, and there was a big red bag on his forehead, he was scratching vigorously, while looking at Taniguchi from time to time, and the Taiwei Mu Chong beside him was loose and tight, and his hand was stretched into his trousers from time to time to scratch a few times.

"Fuck it!" Tuoba scolded hatefully: "When will Feng Ba come?" How long will this hellish day last? Do you want thistle? ”

When he took over as King Wei's ambition, he has been almost consumed by this ghost day, Tuoba has been loved by Tuoba since he was a child, and he was raised with his sons in the palace, and he was awarded a high-ranking official after he became an adult.

But fortunately, Tuoba is still quite reasonable, he didn't scold Wei Feng, he knew that Wei Feng's goal was to encircle the point to send reinforcements, and only by encircling the point to send reinforcements could he find a chance to kill with one blow, because Wei Feng brought an army of 100,000, if it was just to attack thistle, it would be enough to besiege the city by digging a ditch, there was no need to rush to attack, in the end, it would be him Tuoba who couldn't hold on, he had no supplies, so he scolded Feng Ba!

Mu Chong sighed secretly, after all, he had never experienced the pain of marching, and his heart was also a little lacking, which reminded him of the secret decree in his arms, if Tuoba Yu really had inappropriate actions, he could use this to strip off the military power, but it was impossible to take out this secret decree unless it was absolutely necessary, after all, Tuoba Yu was deeply loved by Tuoba Yu, especially whether Tuoba Yu's father Tuoba Yi died in the battle, or whether he died generously after the battle, in modern times, Tuoba Yu is the identity of the martyr's family, If you can, you can't be offended, and you can't be offended.

Mu Chong helplessly persuaded: "Please be calm and don't be dry, count the days, Feng Ba and Goguryeo should also arrive in these few days, at that time, it will be the opportunity for a decisive battle, come, it's not too early, King Wei has eaten and rested early." ”

Tuoba suddenly felt even more irritated, since he left Pingcheng on the fourth day of the fifth month, he had eaten all dry food for 27 days, that is, the Hu cakes that had been air-dried and dried to make them dehydrated, which were hard and rough, and there was also a kind of air-dried beef and mutton, which was undoubtedly extremely difficult to swallow for Tuoba Yu, who had been clothed and eaten since he was a child!

But what made him even more difficult was that this expedition was not a dignified dispatch, but a sneak attack, so he was not allowed to carry women in the army, and he didn't play with women for 27 days, so that his lower body was going to be suffocated, and even in the last ten days, he ran horses almost every day, and there was no condition to take a bath and change clothes in the mountains, which made his pants stiff, not to mention, and exuded a fishy smell!

It's just that Tuoba usurped even though he had all kinds of resentment, and he didn't dare to make a mistake in front of Mu Chong, and after spitting out his depressed breath, he took a bite of the Hu cake and chewed it hard!

At this moment, a relative rushed over, and Shi Li said: "King Yuwei, Taiwei, the reinforcements of Yan State and Goguryeo are close to Lu County, and they may camp in Lu County tonight!" ”

Tuoba perked up when he was in good spirits, and said fiercely: "Feng Ba, you are finally here!" I have waited for you for more than ten days in vain, give orders, and the whole army is ready! ”

Mu Chong's eyebrows jumped, he felt that it was not right, how could it sound like he was going to assault the Yan army! So he hurriedly asked, "Is there any news from the Jin army?" ”

The retinue arched his hand: "Back to the captain, there has been no news back!" ”

Tuoba took it over and said: "Maybe the surnamed Wei hasn't found out that the reinforcements of the Yan army are coming, just wait, I don't believe it, he won't grasp this opportunity, and as soon as there is news of the Jin army, he will immediately go out of the valley to assault!" ”

"Yes!" A relative hurried away.

After about half a moment, another relative rushed over and said, "King Yuwei, Taiwei, according to the news from the brothers who monitored the camp of the Jin army, there is no movement in the Jin army!" ”

Mu Chong's eyes narrowed, and he asked, "Is there any change in the number of people in the Jin army leaving the camp and entering the camp?" Did the secret sentry at the foot of Yanshan find the Jin army scouts? ”

"Captain!" The entourage saluted again: "The number of Jin troops leaving the camp and entering the camp has not changed much in recent days, but after noon, about dozens of horsemen galloped eastward, and the secret post at the foot of the mountain did not find the Jin army!" ”

Mu Chong nodded noncommittally: "You go down!" ”

The retinue arched his hand and turned to leave.

Tuoba Yu's eyes flickered, and he thought: "It seems that the surnamed Wei is too careful, he must have sent someone to find out before he acted, according to this, it is likely that he will not send troops in the first half of the night, if he wants to attack the reinforcements of Yan State, it should be sent in the second half of the night, and he will make a surprise attack while he is allocating the camp!" ”

Mu Chong thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "It stands to reason that this should be the case, but General Wei has never had a defeat in his life, how can he be in vain?" Although King Wei sent troops secretly this time, it is difficult to ensure that the Jin people do not work carefully under the Pingcheng cloth, in short, it is better to be careful, and it is necessary to strengthen vigilance, so as not to expose the rumors and be searched by General Wei in the mountains! ”

Tuoba immediately shouted: "Come on, send twice as many people to patrol the mountains!" ”

"Yes!" Several relatives went with the order.

With the arrival of the reinforcements of the Yan Kingdom, there was a pre-war tension in the valley, mixed with a trace of excitement, after all, it was hidden in the valley in the middle of summer, not to mention that Tuoba couldn't stand it, even ordinary soldiers couldn't bear it.

The valley was humid, sweltering, and sunny with most people exposed to direct sunlight, and everyone had enough of it on such days, desperate for war! (To be continued......)
