There are dozens of families in the small village, arranged together along the foot of the mountain in the shape of a cloth bag, in the middle is a dirt road that is a few feet wide, it is already potholes, dilapidated, and the front end of the dirt road is the entrance of the village where Chang Yuchun and others are ambushed.

When it was almost hour, most of the lights in the village were gradually extinguished, and it seemed that most of the villagers had fallen asleep.

The crowd only listened to the sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer, and soon they reached the entrance of the village.

Chang Yuchun fixed his eyes and looked at it, as the deputy general expected, there were more than a dozen soldiers on horseback in front, and there were more than 30 people in the back, and when they came to the entrance of the village, a cavalry in the lead pulled the reins, and the war horse stopped with a sigh, and everyone behind surrounded them.

The cavalryman in the lead did not speak, but raised the spear in his hand and pointed forward, and the dozens of soldiers behind him fanned out, and they were about to rush into the village.

At this moment, Chang Yuchun shouted: "Give it to me!" Suddenly, more than a hundred or so people on both sides rushed out like the wind, spears and halberds, and more than a dozen cavalry were also pressed to the ground in a flash of lightning.

Chang Yuchun held eight snake spears in his hands, and it was like a tiger entering a wolf pack, and with a spear, the person who led the enemy army jumped off his horse, stepped on it, and his own soldiers behind him grabbed the knot that was bound. Chang Yuchun brought one elite soldier from a hundred miles this time, and with two enemies and one, plus surprise, he captured all the enemy's more than 50 people alive in less than a quarter of an hour.

"Bring the torches. General Ben wants to see who they are. "Chang Yuchun asked the soldiers to line up the enemy and squat on the ground.

Some soldiers shook the fire fold, lit the torch, and handed it to Chang Yuchun. Under the illumination of the torches, everyone saw that the more than 50 people were indeed dressed as rebels, and their robes were embroidered with the lotus pattern of the rebels.

"General Chang, it's really my rebel army. The deputy general whispered to Chang Yuchun on the side.

Chang Yuchun shook his head and walked to the leader of the enemy army, only to see that the person was tall and tall, and his face was full of steel hair, but if he looked closely, he had a high forehead and protruding eyes, a little unlike the Central Plains. After a few glances, he asked loudly, "Son, are you the leader of them, what is your name, and where are you from?"

The leader seemed to be very strong, looked at Chang Yuchun a few times with cold eyes, snorted, but did not speak.

"You, our general asked you, and you dared not answer. Look at me......" The lieutenant behind him widened his eyes, raised the long knife in his hand, dropped the hilt, and slashed heavily at the leader's leg, the man's knees were weak, and he couldn't stand, so he wanted to kneel to the ground, but he was very strong, and he twisted his body so hard that he fell to the ground.

The deputy general was about to grab the knife again, Chang Yuchun stretched out his hand to stop it, saw that there was a short soldier next to him who was trembling in fright, smiled slightly, walked to the front of the soldier, and said sharply: "Who are you? If you tell the truth, I will let you go back, if you don't tell the truth, don't even think about living today." ”

The short soldier was even more startled, his knees limped, and he almost didn't sit on his knees. He stammered and said: "This, this master, I, we are the White Lotus Sect Army, occasionally, passing by here, no, I never wanted to be caught by you." ”

"Are you a rebel?Where are you from?What is your name??," Chang Yuchun shouted, and pulled out the short knife on his waist, under the torch, the cold light on the short knife flickered, and the green and faint was very scary.

The short soldier finally fell to his knees at once, and said intermittently: "This, this general spares his life." The villain, the villain tells the truth. ”

"Say it quickly, sneaky again, kill you, I asked him. Chang Yuchun said coldly, pointing to a soldier next to him.

The little soldier was startled and hurriedly said: "We, we are not actually rebels, we are ......"

As soon as he said this, the leader next to him snorted angrily, and he didn't know what to say, and the little soldier immediately didn't dare to say more.

The adjutant general listened, looked at Chang Yuchun, and said with admiration: "Sure enough, it's a Tartar, the general is a god." ”

Chang Yuchun said angrily: "My righteous army started from poor people, that is, to be angry for the people, these Tartars, not only harm themselves, but also dare to pretend to be my righteous army, it is really innocent." As he spoke, he pointed to the short soldier and said angrily: "Keep him, and the others will strip me of the clothes of the rebels, break them into thousands of pieces, and hang them on the big tree at the entrance of the village." ”

Everyone has already gritted their teeth with hatred, listening to Chang Yuchun's words, they all received the order in unison, swords and guns at the same time, and after a while, they cooked these Tartar soldiers, and wrote the two blood words "Tartar" on their clothes with blood characters, the little soldier Ding had already fainted to death in fright, and was dragged by everyone, and everyone did not disturb the villagers, and left the small village overnight and returned to the barracks.

On the way, the adjutant general threw himself to Chang Yuchun, "General Chang, how do you know that they are not righteous soldiers?"

Chang Yuchun said: "I'm actually not sure, I just suspected at first, the rebels are not stationed in this area, such a deserted place, where did the rebels come from? When I saw the horses, I was basically sure that they must be the Tartar army, how could the rebels and bandits have such sophisticated equipment, even if they did, it would be impossible to appear here and rob the poor people." ”

The adjutant general nodded yes, then pointed to the short soldier and asked, "General Chang, what are we going to do with him?"

"Of course it works. The Tartars in this area who are pretending to be our rebels are by no means a share, and when we finish beating Chen Youliang, let this person lead the way and destroy them one by one. Chang Yuchun said hatefully.

"I see. The adjutant suddenly realized. I can't help but admire in my heart, this General Chang seems to be five big and three coarse, but he is actually an extremely careful person.

When everyone returned to the camp, they put the short soldiers in a good look, and everyone went to rest.

The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Chang Yuchun led the army to pull out the camp and set up the village, and gave an order to send the soldiers to Jiuhua Mountain.

The mighty departure of the army, under the urging of Chang Yuchun, arrived at the foot of Jiuhua Mountain in less than a moment.

Jiuhua Mountain is the dojo of the King of the Earth, according to legend, the King of the Earth Bodhisattva once made a great wish that "the hell is not empty and the vow is not a Buddha, and all living beings have done their best to prove Bodhi", what a grand wish, this alone makes the Chang Yuchun who believes in the Maitreya Buddha sigh.

Jiuhua Mountain was originally known as Lingyang Mountain and Jiuzi Mountain, and was named after it because of the nine peaks resembling lotus flowers. It was renamed Jiuhua Mountain during the Tang Tianbao period. Chang Yuchun and others looked around, only to see that there are ninety-nine peaks towering among the clouds, between the peaks, all over the deep ravines and canyons, weeping streams and deep pools, flowing springs and waterfalls on the mountainside, the weather is thousands, and the landscape is a picture scroll.

The deputy general had a little ink in his stomach, and when he saw such a beautiful scenery, he couldn't help but chant on the horse: "In the past, on the Jiujiang River, looking at Jiuhua Peak from afar, the Tianhe River hung green water, showing off the nine hibiscus." I want to wave my hand, who can follow? Jun is the host, and he lies in the cloud pine. This is the eternal swan song of the great poet Li Bai who climbed Jiuhua Mountain. However, Chang Yuchun didn't know anything about Li Bai and Li Hei, turned around and glared at the deputy general, and said loudly: "Vice General Wang, General Ben knows that you were a showman before you joined the army, and you always like to read poems or something? Do you think that fighting a war is still the same as when you were a showman before? If you want to use all your brains on marching and fighting, there will not be as many problems as yesterday." ”

The deputy general was ridiculed, and he was busy no longer thinking about the wind and the moon, and ordered the army to rest at the foot of the mountain for a while, and he followed Chang Yuchun around the foot of the mountain, and climbed the mountain with a dozen soldiers, trying to find the best camp.

Climb to the top of the peak, only to see the mountain is ten thousand feet high, the waterfall flows springs, the feet of ten thousand white clouds pass by the chest, look up, the red sun is the head, they seem to be in the sky, everyone can't help but praise in unison.

Often meet the spring four to look around, suddenly see a mountain pass in the distance, three cliffs, like a knife, apes can not climb up, in front of a large plain, a few zhang wide water stream around the plain, it is the back of the mountain and the water, easy to defend and difficult to attack, a good place to camp and set up.

Seeing this, Chang Yuchun couldn't help but be secretly happy, although he hadn't read much, but he had practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he was good at reading military books, but he was no stranger to the art of war. Seeing the situation in front of me, I couldn't help but feel overjoyed. I think of a few sentences in "The Art of War", "The terrain has those who are clear, those who hang, those who support, those who are narrow, those who are dangerous, and those who are far away." I can go, he can come, said Tong, through the form, first live in Gaoyang, benefit the grain road, and use the war to benefit. If the enemy is prepared, he will not be able to return, and it will be difficult to return, and it will be unfavorable. I come out and are disadvantaged, and the other is out and disadvantaged, and it is said that the branch is in the form of a branch, although the enemy is good for me, I have no out, and I lead it away, so that the enemy is half out and hits it, and it is profitable. If the enemy dwells first, do not obey him, and do not obey him. If the enemy dwells first, lead him away, and do not obey him. Those who are far away, evenly matched, difficult to challenge, and disadvantageous in battle. All these six are the way of the earth, and they must not be overlooked.

This pass here really occupies the three words pass, pass, and danger, don't say that you are just ambushing, waiting for an order, ambushing Chen Youliang, even if it is in front of the two armies with Chen Youliang, 100,000 male soldiers confront, it is also one as ten, not a problem.

Chang Yuchun looked at it for a while, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the terrain here was excellent, and he ordered the deputy general to let the army camp here, more than 10,000 elite soldiers were divided into three horizontal armies, and the left and right wings were enclosed in the middle of the corner, and the two sides gave up open space on both sides to prepare for the convenience of grain and grass and the army.

After the army was stationed, it was already dark, and the lights in the camps were bright, illuminating a corner of the mountain.

Chang Yuchun sent four teams of horses at the same time, one team to report to Guo Zixing, one team to Chizhou to inquire about the news of the front, and the other two teams of horses to lurk on the left and right flanks of the army at any time to report the situation.

After everything was arranged, Chang Yuchun returned to his big tent, picked up a lamp, picked up a book with a little yellow hair, opened the pages, but did not study for a long time, just looked straight at the bright lights outside the tent, pressed his hands on the table, and was dazed......
