In a hidden valley ten miles west of Heyang City, Long Tao met with Shen Luoyan and Wei Zheng.

This valley is the contact base set before Long Tao left last time, after all, there are a lot of Li Mi's eyeliner in Heyang City, if Shen Luoyan, Wei Zheng, and Pei Renji are too close, it may arouse his vigilance, so he deliberately found such a contact point outside the city.

"It seems that Brother Kuan's purpose in entering the customs is not just for the treasure trove!"

After Shen Luoyan introduced Rong and Dong Erdaughter to Long Tao, he gently glanced at him charmingly, but he was not too surprised, after all, the son of Shuangxiu had already gotten involved with Rong Jiaojiao when he was in Luoyang, which can be said to be a well-known thing.

Rong and Dong Ernu heard from Shen Luoyan's words that this woman had a close relationship with Long Tao, and even knew about Yang Gong's treasure house.

Shen Luoyan immediately said: "Brother Kuan came back just in time, we originally planned to lead all the people and horses gathered to the south tomorrow, regardless of whether you come back or not." ”

"What kind of wind did the wild goose receive?"

Shen Luoyan nodded and said: "I have received definite news, Yu Wenhua and his relatives led the army south, preparing to capture Liangdu, we want to set up an ambush on the road he must pass through first, and catch him by surprise." ”

Long Tao asked, "How many subordinates have you gathered this time?" ”

Shen Luoyan said: "I am mainly responsible for intelligence and advice in Wagang, and I don't have much time to lead the army, so I have to often go with me to fight nearly a thousand personal guards, Mr. Wei has never been in charge of the army, our main force is General Pei's more than 5,000 old troops, and there are also some middle-level generals who have been recruited by us, and a total of more than 1,000 personal soldiers can be brought in." ”

Long Tao frowned and said, "How many troops does Luo Yan know about Yu Culture?" ”

"According to my spies, it should be between 15,000 and 20,000." Shen Luoyan said with a smile: "With our nearly 8,000 troops, if we arrange it properly and attack it unprepared, Luoyan is sure that we can drive Yu Wenhua and back to Wei County." ”

Wei Zheng saw that Long Tao's face was different, and asked, "King, is there anything wrong?" ”

Long Tao said in a deep voice: "This time to attack Liangdu, in addition to Yu Wenhua's headquarters soldiers and horses, there are also more than 30,000 people from Wang Bo's old army led by Wang Kuijie. ”

The two changed color at the same time, Wei Zheng glanced at Shen Luoyan and asked, "Is the news reliable?" Why didn't Shen Junshi know about it? ”

Long Tao nodded, "It seems that this kid Wang Kuijie is hiding well enough." ”

At the same time, I thought in my heart that with the character of the concubine, she would never lie and deceive people, but why did this fairy help herself so much? Is it on behalf of Cihang Jingzhai to show goodwill, or simply don't want Yu Culture and to become bigger? After all, for Li Shimin, the more fierce the battle between the heroes outside the Guan, the more beneficial it was to them Li Valve.

Shen Luoyan's face was heavy, and he said slowly: "Wang Bo announced that he would withdraw from the competition for hegemony on the same day, and his prestige did not fall but rose, and when he went to Luoyang to join the matter of He's family, I knew that his ambition was not dead, and later revealed that he wanted to form an alliance with Yu Wenhua, if he was not killed by Brother Kuan, maybe he would have hooked up with Yu Wenhua and hooked up." ”

Wei Zheng nodded and said: "From this point of view, Wang Kuijie wants to avenge his father's father, and it is a matter of course to connect with Yu Culture and Connection, so that if we ambush their 50,000 army with 8,000 troops, the risk will definitely increase greatly, one is not good, and there is a danger of destruction!" ”

Shen Luoyan frowned and thought bitterly: "But Liangdu's troops are weak, if they let their army attack the city, I'm afraid they won't be able to last a few days." ”

Wei Zheng twisted his beard and said: "Can we surprise Wei County with 8,000 people, come to surround Wei to save Zhao, and force Yu Wenhua and withdraw the army?" ”

Shen Luoyan shook his head and said: "Yu Wenhua may withdraw from the army, but Wang Kuijie will never withdraw easily in order to avenge the killing of his father." ”

Rong Jiaojiao said: "What kind of thing is Wang Kuijie, Jiaojiao is willing to kill this kid for Brother Kuan!" ”

Since the three of them began to discuss the military aircraft, she and Dong Shuni couldn't talk at all, and in contrast, it was inevitable that they would be compared to Shen Luoyan.

Long Tao smiled: "Jiaojiao doesn't have to be angry, it's not easy to kill this kid?" However, the battle between the two armies is not an ordinary battle between the rivers and lakes, and if I want to kill him, I must be in front of the ten thousand armies to be the most effective. ”

Wei Zheng asked, "Does the king already have a plan to break the enemy?" ”

Long Tao smiled lightly: "We don't have to ambush Yu Wenhua for the time being, his army just provides the best reason for my Divine Sword Praetorian Guard to go north, and when they arrive at the city of Liangdu, and then use the method of attacking the camp to burn food, messing up their formation, they can naturally take advantage of the situation to break it, however, in this way, your eight thousand men and horses can only be used as a surprise soldier, and they must not be exposed prematurely, so that Yu Wenhua can be aware." ”

Shen Luoyan frowned and said: "Luoyan doesn't know much about the situation in Liangdu, I don't know how many days I can withstand it, if we are defeated by Yu Wenhua and one attack, we may fall into a dilemma at that time." ”

Long Tao laughed and said, "Don't worry, it's okay for Liang to stay for three or five days!" You go back immediately and contact General Pei, we will gather thirty miles east of Heyang City tomorrow, and I will personally take you on a secret march and sneak to the vicinity of Liangdu. ”

……

The long procession made its way along the winding mountain road.

In the position of the Chinese army, Long Tao and Pei Renji rode side by side and talked very happily, followed by Wei Zheng, Shen Luoyan and others.

During the conversation, Long Tao also had a better understanding of this general who had followed Zhang Xutuo, the first fierce general of the Sui Dynasty, to conquer the south and the north.

Pei Renji was born in Hedong Pei family, but also after the famous family, his grandfather was the Northern Zhou hussar general Pei Bofeng, Yang Jian usurped Zhou Jiansui, with the family out of the Sui court, Renji was brave and good at riding and archery when he was young, at first he was the guard of Emperor Wen Yang Jian, and then repeatedly made military exploits, and Emperor Yang was promoted to the Ministry of Rites.

Long Tao pointed to a seventeen or eighteen-year-old general in the vanguard position of the former army and asked, "Who is the young general riding a white horse?" ”

Bae Renji smiled: "That's Renji's youngest son, okay." ”

"Sure enough, it's a tiger father and no dog!" Long Tao had long noticed that the young man was tall and well-proportioned, vigorous and heroic, and hung a pair of eight-edged plum blossom bright silver hammers on his back, which was very eye-catching.

Pei Renji stroked his beard and smiled: "The king praised it!" Children are good at martial arts by nature, and they love to dance and play swords, but fortunately, they still have some strength, and they have created a few tricks of 'Earth Destroying Hammer Method', and they can see it when they charge into battle. ”

Although he said that he was humble, there was an unconcealable pride in his words, which showed that he was still very satisfied with this little son.

Long Tao praised his head: "It is indeed commendable that martial arts can become a family of their own at such a young age!" ”

Pei Renji said: "The dog admires the fierce general with high martial arts the most, the king is famous, and he has admired him for a long time, but he has never had the opportunity to meet the king." ”

Long Tao smiled: "Renji asked Ling Lang to come over, and it just so happened that I also wanted to meet him." ”

Pei Renji gave an order to the soldiers in front, and after a while, the order reached the front of the team, Pei Xing Yanle turned his horse's head and ran back briskly.

Long Tao saw that his face was like a crown of jade, and under the sword eyebrows flying obliquely were a pair of eyes full of young man's sharpness, with a straight nose and a wide mouth, sharp edges and corners, and he was a decisive and brave person at a glance.

Pei Xingyan dismounted and came to the front of Long Tao's horse, knelt on one knee, and bowed: "The last general Pei Xingyan will see the king!" ”

"What a young general! Please get up, don't be polite! Long Tao waved his hand, "Get on the horse, let's talk as we walk." ”

Pei Xingyan turned over on the horse again, walked slowly, and fell behind half of the horse.

Long Tao pointed to the mountains to the east and said: "Turning over this mountainous area, it is the intersection of Cai Shui and Vortex Shui a hundred miles southwest of Liangdu, and our task of marching is also preliminarily completed, Yu Wenhua and no matter what, he never imagined that there would be a strange army in this direction." After crossing the mountain, I will sneak back to Liangdu first, while preparing to defend the city, while selecting some dead soldiers to attack the camp, Renji will lead the army to continue to approach Liangdu, remember not to be exposed, as long as you don't let Yu Wenhua and discover your strange army, we will definitely win this battle! ”

Pei Renji replied respectfully: "The last general is ordered!" ”

Pei Xingyan said suddenly: "Xingyan is willing to go to Liangdu with the king and act as a dead soldier for attacking the camp!" ”

Long Tao turned his head to look at him, nodded and approved: "The head of the army is courageous, and he is born brave, and he will be a general in the future!" It's okay, you can be the king's guard for the time being, if you perform well in this battle, the king will be rewarded! ”

Pei Xingyan was overjoyed and said: "Being able to follow the king is already the best reward for Xingyan!" ”

Long Tao saw that his tone was sincere, his sentences were from the bottom of his heart, and there was no flattery, which showed that this young man really admired himself from the bottom of his heart, and couldn't help but be very happy, turned his head and glanced at Pei Renji, and asked with a smile: "Renji can rest assured that Ling Lang will follow me as a dead soldier?" ”

Pei Renji laughed and said: "As the dog said, it is his blessing to be able to follow the king!" Inki thanked the king for giving him this opportunity! ”

Long Tao smiled slightly, glanced back at Pei Xingyan, and asked, "I think Xingyan's horses seem to be particularly strong, is it because the hammer on your back is particularly heavy?" ”

Pei Xingyan said: "Back to the king, the total weight of this pair of iron hammers is one hundred and twenty catties, which is indeed heavier than ordinary blades. ”

Long Tao bowed his head and said: "Xing Yan is indeed a person born with divine power, when you have time, you might as well use your 'Earth Destroying Hammer Method' to let this king see and understand." ”

Pei Xing said suddenly: "Carving insect skills, how dare you show ugliness in front of the king." ”

Pei Renji scolded with a smile: "Stupid! The king wants to instruct you in martial arts, with your little catty, how can you get into the eyes of the king! ”

Pei Xingyan finally reacted and said excitedly: "Thank you for the king's teaching!" ”

The next evening, the army finally came out of the mountains and into a plain, where they rested.

Long Tao rode his horse away from the brigade and galloped back to the foot of the mountain, and Rong, Dong Ernu, Shen Luoyan, Wei Zheng, Pei Renji and others all followed.

"You can stay here tonight, and then set off tomorrow to slowly march to Liangdu, Yu Wenhua has been short of food, this time the south is also a while looting along the way while marching, it is estimated that it will take five days to arrive in Liangdu at the earliest." Long Tao said.

Shen Luoyan asked, "Brother Kuan, is he going back to Liangdu?" ”

"That's right." Long Tao nodded, turned his gaze to the mountains and forests behind him, and smiled mysteriously, "However, I will solve the hidden dangers in the back before leaving!" ”

"What's in the back?" Shen Luoyan looked puzzled.

"The Evil King has followed us for hundreds of miles, and if he makes a move on you after I leave, wouldn't it be a great disgrace?"

Long Tao smiled indifferently, jumped off the horse, lifted his light body, and quickly swept up the mountain like smoke.
