Chapter 687: Night Chase

"It will be at the top of the mountain, and you can see the mountains and ......!" Cao Yin repeated, and said with a gentle smile: "If you can really climb to the top of Tianya Peak, maybe you can really see all the mountains and the vast land." Merely...... It's called the end of the world, but no one can go to the end of the world......! ”

Han Mo withdrew his gaze from the towering Dufeng, and said strangely: "Master Hou, how do you say this?" ”

Cao Yin pointed to the Optimus Prime-like Tianya Peak and said, "At this moment, the distance is too far, we can't see its close-up view. But Ben Hou has been to the bottom of this Tianya Peak, the height of this peak, you and I can see clearly here, but you don't know the steepness of the road to this peak. ”

"Oh?" Han Mo once again set his eyes on the Optimus Prime-like Tianya Peak.

"It's so steep, there's no way to get there, and if you want to reach the top, you have to climb." Cao Yin sighed: "This Tianya Peak is magical, there is no way to reach the peak at all, such a height, if you want to climb it with your bare hands, it is really not humanly possible." He glanced at Han Mo and said with a smile: "So if you want to be at the top, it is extremely difficult, almost difficult to achieve, and it is impossible to see all the mountains at a glance." ”

Han Mo looked at the clouds at the top of the peak and smiled slightly.

The team approached the Longshan Mountain Range, but a group of cavalry rushed down from the mountain, led by a Qing army general in armor, claiming to be Shang Zhongli's partial general, after meeting Cao Yin, he actually wanted the Yan State delegation to turn eastward and cross the mountain range from the east side of the Longshan Mountain Range to return to China.

Song Shiqing inevitably had to come forward to argue with him in the back, and the dignified Yan Kingdom's mission would not take a detour.

The other party was extremely insistent, only saying that he was ordered by the holy general, and now a section of the western front of the Longshan Mountain Range was about to face an attack by the Wei army at any time, and in order to take care of the safety of the Yan State Mission, he had to make this decision.

Song Shiqing, as a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, naturally argues with reason, Dayan Yanguo is a big country in the East, and he does not cross the mountain from the official road, but he wants to take the wrong path, and he is not in line with the etiquette, which is to insist on not turning around.

Both sides could not hold out.

Fortunately, Cao Yin understood the reason, Shang Zhong couldn't come out to see him, and if he sent such an extremely stubborn partiality to prevent the mission from advancing from the official road, then the other party would definitely not give in.

Shang Zhongli probably also knew the reason why the Yan State delegation returned from the West Road, and knew that Yan Guo wanted to use this opportunity to check on Qingguo's fortifications on the front line of Longshan.

Although the two countries of Yanqing are now called alliances, in their bones, both sides are still wary of each other and distrust each other.

Shang Zhongli spent a lot of energy in Longshan, since he knew that the Wei army began to have the intention of invading eastward, he began to set up a formation in Longshan, in order to lay out Longshan into a strong defense line, it cost a huge amount of manpower and material resources, and built fortifications, that is, to prepare for a big battle with the Wei army on the front line of Longshan, to be more accurate, it is a battle with Sima Qingtian.

The fortifications were tightly built, and Shang Zhongli certainly wouldn't let the Yan envoys check on his defenses.

Cao Yin actually knew for a long time that it was very difficult to see the fortifications of the Qing army, but along the way, he had learned about the psychology and situation of the people of Qingguo, and he also had an understanding of the general situation of Nanyang County.

Since Chang Dehou spoke, it was naturally difficult for others to say anything.

Seeing that the Yan State delegation no longer insisted, the general immediately sent a small team of men and horses as guides to lead the delegation eastward.

The mission had traveled less than twenty miles east, and it was already dark.

Han Mo inquired about Cao Yin, and immediately asked the mission to temporarily camp at the foot of Longshan Mountain to rest.

At dawn the next day, the mission continued on its way, traveling dozens of miles eastward, and between the two peaks, a valley appeared, into which the mission turned under the leadership of the Qingguo team.

After entering the valley, I felt that the mountains on both sides were towering, extremely tall, and deep in the valley, there was an extremely depressing feeling, as if I had walked into the huge mouth of a giant beast in the wilderness, and was being devoured by a giant beast. The road in the valley was rough, and the march was slow, and after half a day's journey, they finally came to a small checkpoint made of rock, with towers, and hundreds of sergeants.

This valley is already narrow, and although there are not many soldiers stationed here, it is enough to make this valley as strong as a fortress and difficult to pass.

Compared with the Ligu Mountains in the territory of Yan Kingdom, the steepness of the Longshan Mountains will never be small, the peaks of the Ligu Mountains are not very undulating, and most of the peaks of the Longshan Mountains may not be as tall as the Ligu Mountains, but the whole mountain range is undulating, extremely steep, large and small valleys are located in the mountains, and each valley will be guarded by troops.

The Yan delegation passed the checkpoint, traveled for more than an hour, and finally walked out of the valley, and suddenly opened up in front of them, and it was an endless plain land.

Cao Yin rode on the horse and said with a smile: "This Qingguo people are also a little lucky, fortunately, on the Nanyang Plain, there is also this Longshan Mountain Range as a natural barrier, otherwise the iron horses of the Wei people can gallop across the Nanyang Plain, and no one can stop them." ”

"Master Hou, you can enter our country only a hundred miles ahead." Song Shiqing looked a little excited: "I don't know if the general is over there to greet him!" ”

"The general's military affairs are heavy, and he has to work on the northwest front, and we don't know where it is now." Cao Yin smiled and looked at Han Mo: "If you can meet the general this time, it will be your luck, you can ask the general about the art of war!" ”

Han Mo smiled slightly, but did not speak.

The Han family and the Xiao family can now be said to be hostile sides, and the DPRK and China have long been-for-tat, this time the Han family tried their best to promote the Yanqing alliance, so that the Xiao family's intention to join Wei to attack Qing was shattered.

Lianwei failed to attack Qingqing, which means that in the short term, Xiao Huaiyu will not be able to lead the army for a big war, for a general who commands the army, rushing to the battlefield, Iron Horse Jingo is his greatest interest, and only war can make his talent get a huge play.

The alliance with Qingguo is equivalent to Xiao Huaiyu losing the opportunity to fight on the battlefield, which is naturally an extremely depressing thing for a general.

Han Mo didn't know what Xiao Huaiyu was thinking now, in the heart of that military god, he had the heart to complain about the Han family.

It is almost dusk, and there are still nearly 100 miles to enter the territory of Yan Kingdom, and if you continue to move forward, I am afraid that it will not be possible to reach the border until late at night.

Han Mo discussed with Song Shiqing, only felt that he could already return to his own land, so he felt at ease a moment earlier, and asked Cao Yin for instructions at the moment, and Cao Yin also agreed, so the mission was no longer stationed, and the whole team returned to their own land to rest again.

Out of the valley of Longshan, all the way to the south, this road is rarely inhabited, a large area of fields left only stumps and broken slag, obviously the grain and wheat outside the Longshan have been harvested, the occasional villages on the road are also silent, a desolate, the people here, naturally have migrated away.

After it got dark, Song Shiqing originally wanted everyone to light torches, but was stopped by Han Mo.

Fortunately, there was still a moon in the sky, and when it was dark, the moon had already climbed up to the sky, and it could also discern the way.

After traveling thirty or forty miles, getting closer and closer to the border, the mission has been on the road for more than 20 days, and it is already quite tired, but the thought that it will be able to return to its own land in the near future is also very joyful.

After walking for another half an hour, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves from the right side of the team, Han Mo suddenly became alert, the Royal Forest Army in the team was also well-trained, and their hands were pressed on the hilt, Xiao Mu had already led nearly a hundred horsemen to meet the right flank silently.

In the darkness of the night, he saw a group of cavalry coming from the west, and the group of cavalry was still some distance away from the team, and it was evident that he had also noticed the movement here, stopped his horse, and quietly watched there.

Han Mo had already urged the horse to the side of Dexiao Mu at this time, but under the moonlight, he saw that there were only about ten horses there, the black armor of one color, under the moonlight, it was extremely dark, almost blending into the night, if the eyesight was not good, it would be difficult to find that group of people.

The other party stood there quietly, not moving for a while.

Han Mo frowned, his eyes rolled slightly, and then he whispered to Xiao Mu: "Capture them all alive, and don't let one go!" ”

Xiao Mu suddenly became excited, slowly pulled out his saber, and whispered a few words to the side, and the hundred-person royal forest cavalry suddenly dispersed silently, in the shape of a fan, and the cavalry at both ends had already urged the horse to move forward slowly, forming a semi-arc, like a biting mouth.

The other party obviously realized something, and suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves over there, and the group of people had already turned their horses' heads and were about to retreat.

Han Mo had already pulled out his saber and said in a deep voice: "Attack!" ”

The Yulin cavalry team suddenly rushed over in the shape of a fan like a wild wolf, and the black cavalry over there was already shouting: "Retreat!" ”

The quiet land was suddenly alarmed by the sound of horses' hooves, and the cavalry on both sides retreated and chased, and the dull sound of horses' hooves was like thunder.

The Imperial Forest Cavalry is the cavalry of the Yan Kingdom, well-equipped, and the horses sitting down are also Wei horses, the speed is amazing, and the speed of the opponent's horses is not slow, but the Royal Forest Cavalry pursues fiercely, and after chasing a few miles, it has already caught up with the group of black cavalry.

The other party was obviously a little surprised, more than ten people brandished their sabers, desperately retreated, and chased out four or five miles, the fan-shaped Yulin cavalry team had caught up with the black cavalry, the pockets were closed, and hundreds of royal forest cavalry had surrounded the more than ten black cavalry.

The black cavalry suddenly gathered together in a circle, all of them holding sabers in their hands, and one of them already said in a deep voice: "You guys...... Who is it? ”

Han Mo held the reins of the horse in his hand and said coldly, "Who are you?" ”

The other party didn't answer, just held the knife, and under the moonlight, the sabers on both sides were shining with cold light, and they were unusually cold.
