Chapter 174: Response

The sunset is declining, the sky is getting dark, the mountains are quiet, the birds and beasts are silent, the sound of the autumn wind breaking the weeds is clear in the ears, this is located on the border of the dynasty, there is no human population within a radius of dozens of miles, it can be described as extremely desolate,

In addition, this place is far away from the official road, and the terrain is dangerous, even in the daytime, passing pedestrians and merchant convoys will subconsciously bypass this place for safety reasons.

But it is this barren place that is an important part of the border defense of the western fortress, because the mountain road passing through here can bypass the Tiger Prison Pass and approach the eastern capital Luoyang City.

Within 5 years, the Xirong army passed through here twice and raided Luoyang City, but due to the twists and turns of the mountain road, it was impossible to transport troops on a large scale, and the final plan to raid Luoyang was surrounded by the winner's army and the defenders of the eastern capital, and ended in failure.

However, the two raids also sounded the alarm for the defenders of Tiger Prison Pass, although this tortuous mountain road could not allow Xirong to threaten the eastern capital with large-scale troop transport, but it was inevitable that it would be harassed by a small group of Yi troops.

In order to prevent trouble, the general of Zhenguan Baihu cut off the mountain road from the border to the eastern capital, and sent 3,000 elites of the old army of the winner army to garrison the western highlands of Hujiao Pass.

The mountain road is extremely steep, the winner army occupies the geography, and the mountain road cannot transport troops on a large scale, which blocks the Xirong Yi soldiers who tried to bypass the Tiger Prison Pass and invade the eastern capital Luoyang City outside the border, and the scourge of Xirong harassing the eastern capital has been solved, and the barren mountain road far from the official road has lost its original strategic value.

Pedestrians and merchants are worried about encountering jackals and beasts, so they will subconsciously avoid the mountain road, and the dynasty army will naturally not choose to pass by on such a path.

So this difficult and tortuous mountain road has been overgrown with weeds and extremely barren all these years, but a few days ago, a group of mysterious forces actually came here and set up camp in the high ground thirty miles east of Tiger Prison Pass, no one noticed their movements, and no one knew the purpose of this mysterious group.

But......... There are 3,000 old troops stationed outside the border of the mountain road, and it is impossible for the Xirong army to come here, plus this is the territory of the Tiger Prison Pass, no force can escape the sight of the winner army, so there is only one possibility,

……… The unknown force stationed at a high place thirty miles east of the Tiger Prison Pass is none other than the old department of the Winner Army guarding the western border.

At night, the torches were swaying in the cold wind of the border pass, and the white tiger of the general of Zhenguan had complicated eyes, looking at the winding mountain road that extended to the end of Zhongzhou.

At this moment, his face was solemn, and he looked uncertain, a few days ago, he received a flying pigeon from his cronies to lead Guan Bao, and learned from the report,

Guan Bao found the whereabouts of General Win's son in the Shangyang area, and just in case, he explained that he had sent someone to meet him in advance in the high ground 30 miles east of Tiger Prison Pass.

Bai Hu was very excited when he learned the news, although he was at the border, but since the assassination of King Han and the appearance of the winner's son, he has been paying attention to the latter's news.

Some time ago, he was on the edge of his seat after receiving the information that the winner's son was knocked off the cliff by Buddhism, and he didn't believe that the son of the winner died like this.

Fortunately, with the favor of God, it didn't take long for Guan Bao to send back the news that they had found the whereabouts of General Win's son under the mountains and forests east of Qiancheng.

After learning the news, Baihu was very excited, and handed over the border affairs to Tie Lin, the commander of his cronies, and personally led people to the high ground thirty miles east of Hujiao Pass to answer.

can be transmitted back to the present, a full 5 days have passed, he still has not seen Guan Bao and his party come back, and the heart that Baihu has just put down is hanging again.

From Shangyang detour to the mountain road back to the Tiger Pass, at most 2 days away, Guan Bao and others have not returned, the white tiger can't help but worry in his heart, could it be that their group encountered something on the way back,

The white tiger had a lot of thoughts, and there was a faint foreboding in his heart, and the deputy general standing on the side saw that the white tiger was worried alone, and stepped forward to hold his fist at the latter.

"General, it's already night, go and rest, I'll guard here",

The adjutant general said respectfully, this adjutant general's name is Wu Shigui, and he is another right-hand man in addition to Guan Bao Tielin and other cronies of the old department of the winning army by Baihu's side.

Wu Shigui joined the army when the Winner Army recruited recruits 5 years ago, before that, he was a person who practiced martial arts in the people, and his own cultivation was good, in addition to being proficient in yin and yang strategy, and he had a certain attainment in the art of war.

After joining the army, he stood out among the thousands of new troops with his own strength and talent, and the general soldier Baihu also found out that this person was a general, so he promoted him to be the commander of the new army.

………

The white tiger's face was solemn, Wu Shigui's reminder pulled him back from his thoughts, he glanced back at the latter, sighed lightly and then slowly spoke,

"Shigui, 5 days have passed, Guan Bao and Ying Cang have not returned, I always feel an ominous premonition, they are afraid that something happened on the way back",

The white tiger was restless, with a look of worry in his eyes that could not be concealed, 16 years ago, his good brother, his benefactor, Zhenxi general Win Wuxian was framed by Cao Zhang's traitors, and his reputation was ruined, and the winner was loyal, but in the end he ended up with a tragic end of slaughter.

When the White Tiger and Guan Bao and other old departments of the Winner Army arrived, the Winning Mansion had been burned to ruins by Cao Zhang, and the soldiers of the Winning Army were very sad.

It's just that...... It's late,

After many years, the past has changed, and the sensational Win Mansion Annihilation Incident has also become a piece of sand sealed in the long years.

But over the years, the generals of the winning army, such as Baihu and Guan Bao, have been living in deep remorse and self-blame, and they listened to Cao Zhang's slander and led the winning army to leave the Tiger Prison Pass and go to the border heights to ambush the enemy.

But who would have thought that this was actually a traitor's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, all because they believed in treacherous slander, which gave Cao Zhang an opportunity, and finally caused the whole of the Winning Mansion to be wiped out.

But 16 years later, General Win's only son, who was only 3 years old at the time, reappeared in the world, and as soon as he appeared, he was framed by the imperial court and endlessly hunted.

Sadly, the news about the son of General Win, Baihu Guan Leopard and other old generals when they won and pacified Xirong was actually learned from the wanted edict issued to them by the imperial court.

After the white tiger learned the news, he was very excited, and immediately sent his cronies to lead Guan Bao out of the customs to find the whereabouts of General Win's son.

He secretly swore in his heart that even if he lost his life, this time he would save his son for General Win, otherwise, he would have no shame to face the good big brother who had the grace of reinvention for him, the patron saint who had saved thousands of people in the border pass.
