In Yanmen Pass, Yan Wangqing, Feng Yebei and Zhuge Yan all appeared on the top of the city tower of Dongcheng Pass, from Yanmen Pass to Dongcheng Pass, it will take at least half a day's journey, Zhuge Yan looked at the direction of Dongyun Snow Ridge, and said: "There is still time, I hope it is still too late, I can only pray that the heavy rain will fall for a little longer, the terrain of Dongcheng Snow Ridge is high, and the location of Dongcheng Pass is relatively low, which is the biggest hidden danger." ”

Feng Yebei gritted his teeth and said, "I'm sorry Yan Shuai, I didn't take this into account, it was my mistake, if I could have thought of this earlier, time would not have been so urgent." ”

Yan Wangqing shook his head: "Why should the military advisor blame himself so much, everyone will have a time to be negligent, there is still time now, according to what you said, the Wolf Tooth Army will use the upstream embankment to attack the East Pass." According to the meaning of the two of them, how to solve this dilemma? ”

Zhuge Yan looked at Feng Yebei, waited for a while, and saw that Feng Yebei didn't speak, so he said: "Hui Yanshuai, I think that we should start from two aspects. First, let the soldiers prepare at least a thousand sacks, filled with soil, and block the gate of Dongcheng Pass, if the other side really attacks with water, this can also ease the water potential. ”

"Second, from now on, send people to start digging ditches and rivers at the city gate, digging as deep as possible, and digging multiple ditches to lead the water to the river channel or the eastern mountains, so that even if the water really enters the Dongcheng Pass, there is no need to worry about being buried by the water potential. Strategist, what do you think of my approach? If there are any deficiencies, please point them out again. ”

Feng Yebei shook his head and said: "No, the future is terrifying, this should be the best way at the moment, the overall terrain of Dongcheng Pass is low, if it is really attacked with water, there are no defensive measures, it will definitely be broken by the Wolf Tooth Army." Yan Shuai, without further ado, let's start as soon as possible, according to the method that Zhuge Yan said, if they can block the big water outside the Great Wall, they will not be able to attack Dongcheng Pass. ”

At that moment, Yan Wangqing immediately ordered that the Xuanjia army prepare sacks to block the city gate, and most of the northern aid army also came to Dongcheng Pass and began to dig rivers and open roads. From the city gate, they were going to dig a 100-meter-long pit, and then build a thick wall of stones and earth on the southeast side to resist the impact of the water, and the rest was to start digging a ditch and river channel on the inner side of the east pass.

Zheng Lin and Sima Tengfeng were working in a group of two people, and at this moment they were digging a ditch three feet wide and nine feet deep in the heavy rain, spreading everywhere, and finally reaching the river channel in Guannai and the mountain woodland in the east. Sima Tengfeng withstood the heavy rain and didn't wear a hat anymore, letting the rain wet his whole body, he looked around and said with a smile: "I never thought that one day I would make a move to protect my family and defend the country, and it was not Baonanzhao." ”

Zheng Lin said as he digged: "But this feeling is very good, isn't it?" Don't you feel a sense of accomplishment for a group of like-minded people doing the same thing for the same purpose? ”

At this moment, Zhuge Yan also walked over with a hoe and said, "Brother Zheng Lin is right, he does have a sense of accomplishment, this kind of thing is regardless of the country." And I never dreamed that the military division and marshal of the Xuanjia Army of the Tang Dynasty would be able to listen to the opinion of an unknown person in me, which surprised me very much, you must know that this is not something that ordinary leaders can do. ”

Sima Tengfeng looked at Zhuge Yan, then at Yan Wangqing and the others on the city tower, and said, "Shouldn't you just stand on the city tower with them and command?" Why are you still doing this kind of hard work with us? It's not something anyone can do. ”

"Don't tease me, you don't think I've ever done farm work? I'll tell you, I used these farming tools when I was a child, and if it weren't for the slaughter, maybe I would still be farming. ”

"If that's the case, then you'll be resigned, and I still want to be able to use your wisdom where it's needed, like in the current situation." Zhuge Yan listened to what Zheng Lin said, and said: "Actually, when I came to Datang this time, I really felt that it was useful, but I still have one more question, you said that your purpose is to seize the world, but why do you want to help the Xuanjia Army?" ”

"This... Not conflicting, right? If the world is peaceful and the people live in peace, what is the use of wanting the world? It's better to be a free swordsman in the rivers and lakes. But if Datang is broken by thieves, the people are displaced, and the entire Datang is in turmoil, then I have the responsibility to take Datang back from him. ”

Zhuge Yan nodded and said, "In this case, from now on, I, Zhuge Yan, am willing to serve you until the moment when you no longer want to seize the world." Sima Tengfeng looked at Zhuge Yan in surprise and said: "You said so, then shouldn't I also join you, then from today on, you will be the lord of the two of us, anyway, I should be tired of being a killer, maybe I can be a general in the future." ”

Zheng Lin smiled and said, "Yes, yes, General Sima, go to work, see that you are the slowest, dig that piece, there is a stone there." Sima Tengfeng dug hard, then threw the stone on it, and complained: "I can't imagine that I, a future general, would work here as a coolie, it's too unfair!" ”

Above the city tower, Feng Yebei said to Yan Wangqing: "Yan Shuai, what do you think?" ”

Yan Wangqing looked at Zhuge Yan and said, "These three people have never heard of it before, and the young man wearing the mask, it seems that Zhuge Yan listens to him very much." Do you really think that Zhuge Yan can be appointed as the military advisor of the Northern Aid Army? Does this conflict with you? ”

Feng Yebei shook his head and said: "This will make it much easier for me, first of all, my main task is still on the battle between the Xuanjia Army and the Wolf Tooth Army, and it is difficult for me to take care of the arrangement and fighting method of the Northern Aid Army." If Zhuge Yan has help, I can concentrate on dealing with the main military strength of the Wolf Tooth Army, but in the northern aid army, I also have to choose a respected person as the commander, or let Yi Mei be the commander, just to hone and hone her. ”

When Yan Yimei was fourteen years old, she was captured by a group of robbers and humiliated, and she couldn't survive and die. Until one day, Yan Wangqing was ordered to take the army up the mountain to exterminate the bandits. They rescued all the girls, these girls were almost in a trance, only Yimei reacted violently, snatched the sword in the hands of the officers and soldiers, and slashed at the bandits who were tied up, ruthlessly, and she really cut down a few. After being stopped by the officers and soldiers, she was horribly silent, her dark eyes full of hatred.

Later, Yan Yimei was bent on death and set fire to the mountain, but was saved by Yan Wangqing, and by chance, Yan Wangqing gave her the name "Yan Mei", but later when she introduced herself to others, she called herself Yan Yimei, of course, Yan Wangqing didn't care about this. In this way, Yan Yimei joined the Xuanjia Army and became Yan Wangqing's disciple.
