Yizhou is surrounded by mountains, and the middle belly is a thousand miles of plains. Between the mountains on all sides, there are scattered patches of relatively flat hinterland, where cities can be built.

Zhounan County and Xiyong County are such topography.

It's just that Zhounan County has a vast middle belly, a large number of people, and dozens of large and small cities. Although Xiyong County has a vast jurisdiction and is not inferior to Zhounan County, it is mostly mountainous, the number of cities is scarce, and the only big city is the county seat Xicheng.

Moreover, the scale of the cities under the jurisdiction of Xiyong County cannot be compared with Zhounan County.

Xiyong County was relatively closed, but it also prevented the infiltration of Shu by hostile forces such as Liang and Chu. The way out, in addition to Yongshui to the east, is only to enter the Wuku Road to the north into Yongzhou.

Muko Road, like Seokyang Road, can go directly to the vicinity of Hokyo. However, the Wuku Road is more dangerous than the Shiyang Road, not to mention the march, that is, the hunters who go into the mountains to hunt, generally do not take this road.

However, for Tong Gu and the hundreds of generals he trained, this dangerous road that ordinary people dare not take is not an insurmountable moat, but a shortcut that can go directly to the destination.

Three or four hundred miles of road, Tong Gu only took two days, and arrived in Yongzhou with a hundred generals.

The goshawk hovered in the sky, and its sharp eyes reflected a team of Liang troops on the march. They were escorting supplies to the camp not far away.

Generally speaking, generals who have grown up from war are not as distinctive as those who are guided by super-first-class generals.

There are two super-first-class generals in Shu, and Tong Gu is good at shooting, and the world knows it. The generals he trained were not all good at archery, but they were all good at scouting.

An archer must learn to keep a sufficient distance from his opponent and deliver a critical blow, and Scouting is the best support.

"How's it going?"

Hong Quan covered his eyes with one hand and woke up from the state of possession, but he felt a little dizzy. He was originally a heavy armor under Rong Can, but he was transferred by Yang Xian, and now he has become a general trained under Tong Gu.

"The vicinity of this camp has been set up by the Liang army to lead the withered spirit."

Since 600 years ago, when the first line of the army combined with the witchcraft of the steppe to create the reconnaissance technique, the monks of the first line of the army have been looking for the corresponding restraint technique, and the withered spirit guide is one of the more successful results.

The restraint technique created by one vein in the army is not as elaborate and complex as that created by the other three veins, and the most basic requirement is that it can be adopted and practiced by most armies.

Within the area of influence of the Dry Spirit Induction, it can kill the excess spirituality attached to the creatures that want to approach the camp, which is rough and effective.

Under the influence of the dry spirit guide, Hong Quan's vision became very unclear, and everything nearby was a little blurry and dim, and it took a long time to ease up.

This camp was part of the military system set up by Huan Wu at Shiyang Road Crossing to defend against the Shu army, and was only a hub for temporarily storing and transporting grain and grass.

"The lord asked us to intercept and kill the Liang army in this camp here, it seems that it is not simple!"

Tong Gu touched his beard and secretly said that things were not simple.

The defense system of Shiyang Daokou is mainly based on reconnaissance, and the purpose of Huan Wu to set up these camps is not to expect them to be able to block the Shu army, but to hope that they can find out the movement of the Shu army at the first time, and hold the line of defense before the arrival of reinforcements.

This requirement is actually very low, that is, in normal times, the garrison of Hokyo from the rectification to the assembly to the departure, it only takes two or three hours to arrive here.

Compared with the heavily defended Micang Road, the Quegu Road, which is often patrolled by cavalry, is the least valued place.

Although there are many Liang military detectives who are good at reconnaissance stationed in the defense system of Shiyang Daokou, is it necessary to set up a dry spirit guide in a camp that transports grain and grass?

Although Liang Jun is rich, he is not so bad!

In the dark night, the green light leads the way.

In the depths of the camp, heavily guarded, Fang Yuting walked alone in front of a cage, where a man was sitting.

Darkness shrouded in darkness, and the man was unclear, eating a piece of coarse bread. Seeing Fang Yuting coming, the man snorted and smashed the bowl over.

With a bang, when the bowl approached Fang Yu Pavilion, it was shattered by a blue light, and the fragments were scattered on the ground.

"Xufan, you should hate me, it's me who is sorry for you."

"I regard you as a brother, but you take advantage of my unpreparedness to secretly poison you. If you still have a little bit of like-mindedness, you can't do such a thing. ”

Fang Yuting's expression was cold and he sighed.

"I said, I only want that thing, you gave it to me, I let you kill it, no complaints."

"I have already said that before his death, Shizun instructed that if Yang Ci died, only his descendants could take his relics. Yang Zhong is dead, but Yang Xian is still alive. ”

Fang Yuting clenched his hands, and a wave of anger appeared on his face.

Fang Yuting knew very well where this anger came from, but he couldn't express it, because this anger came from his master and from Yuan Cheng, the head of the Chengtian Taoist Sect who had great kindness to him.

"Feng Xufan, don't you know that Yang Ci destroyed my Chengtian Dao?"

"So what?" Feng Xufan responded loudly, "The order of the master is heavier than Mount Tai. You want to use that thing to save Huan Wu's life, it's impossible! ”

"Don't push me!"

Fang Yuting looked at Feng Xufan, and a chill surged across his face, but he was sneered by Feng Xufan.

"You know what I'm capable of, can you force me?"

Fang Yuting's clenched hands finally loosened and said, "You used to be such a stupid character, and it has been the same for so many years. The master handed it over to you for safekeeping, and it was really given to the right person. But I'm not going to give up. ”

"Why?"

Fang Yuting turned to leave, and as the figure shrouded in darkness walked farther and farther, Feng Xufan asked.

The voice was soft and confused.

Fang Yuting stopped, but heard Feng Xufan continue to ask: "When you led the Qingzhou people to surrender Huanwu, I thought it was just your expedient measure. Now it seems that it is not like, what are you for? ”

"You and I have personally experienced that chaos, do you still hope that the world will be chaotic again? If the Marquis of Liang dies, Yang Xian will definitely go north out of the Central Plains, and the chaos in the world will probably be even worse than back then. ”

"I never knew you still thought that way."

The wind continued to sail slowly, as if he had only really known Fang Yuting today.

"But what will happen in this world is not something you and I can decide. The fateful grievances between Yang Huan are not something you and I can solve. ”

"There are some things I have to do."

Fang Yuting left such a sentence, no longer lingering, his body disappeared into the darkness, only a little blue light remained, and slowly disappeared.
