Chapter 70: Hunting

Fenghua stopped and listened to him say the next sentence.

"It's that you don't dare to say it, and you lose the demeanor of a general."

It's better not to explain!

Fenghua rolled his eyes, and continued the art of war that he hadn't finished just now, "The way of the general is also." ”

Lao Mu did not respond to this, but changed the topic, "In two or three days, the Northwest Battalion will send people to the house, and then there will be time to hunt." ”

Fenghua responded with a yes and walked out of the room.

In the next few days, Fenghua and Lao Mu did not talk, but they cooperated more and more tacitly.

Early one morning, Lao Mu asked Fenghua: "Sun Gangtou asked me to hunt some game in the afternoon, will you go?" ”

"Go, why don't you go!" Fenghua replied immediately, for fear that Lao Mu would regret it.

Since that trouble, she didn't say a word to Lao Mu, Lao Mu was happy to be quiet, but she was about to be suffocated.

This morning, she had long forgotten about being angry with Lao Mu, and chased after Lao Mu to ask questions.

"Which way are we going?

"West."

"Are you going to the area of the Langxi Mountains?"

"Yes."

"Shall we pass through the Northwest Camp?"

"No, go the other way."

"Then let's take the Guyang Trail, so it's okay to save the time for interrogation."

Lao Mu was noisy, and he answered her in the shortest words, but after hearing this, he asked with some surprise: "You are very familiar with the northwest?" ”

"It's not ripe, it's not ripe, it's not ripe." Fenghua scratched his head. "I've seen the map a thousand times, but I've never been there once."

"Where can I see the map?" Lao Mu seemed interested.

The northwest border area is vague on the map released by the government, especially the small roads such as the Guyang Trail, which will not be written on the map at all.

"At home, of course." Fenghua blurted out, but immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing. She is now Tang Feng, not Gu Fenghua, so she added, "Our Tang family is in business, and we have traveled the route of the northwest in the early decades, and there are many maps of the northwest, which I began to read when I was a child. ”

Old wooden jaw head.

As a gang leader, the easiest thing to hear is all kinds of gossip. As soon as he entered the new barracks, this kid got into trouble, and many recruits ridiculed him behind his back that he was arranged by the Gu family to mix military merits, and Lao Mu also heard a lot, so he naturally knew that Tang Feng was the in-law of the Gu family.

When he heard that she had turned over again and again, Lao Mu also felt that this kid seemed to have two hits, but he didn't think that she was really coming for the position of general.

Even if I knew that she knew the art of war last time and explained a thing or two to her, I just didn't want to hurt the self-esteem of a new soldier.

In fact, the matter of taking her to hunt was arranged by Sun Gangtou, and the purpose was not actually hunting, but to familiarize himself with the terrain.

Sun Gangtou said at the time that there were going to be young heroes among the recruits. Lao Mu was disdainful in his heart, but he still agreed to Sun Gangtou's arrangement.

Now it seems that this kid is completely prepared.

is only sixteen years old, with this skill, with this talent, it is really rare, but it's a pity......

"Lao Mu, you only came to the barracks half a year earlier than us, why are you so familiar with this area? Are you from here? Fenghua interrupted Lao Mu's thoughts.

"Yes, you'll come back to me after lunch." Seeing that she had finished her work, Lao Mu threw her a set of regular clothes and gave her an eviction order.

After lunch, Fenghua came to the room with a bow on his back and dressed as a hunter, and Lao Mu did the same, but he carried a crossbow. Then they went and led two horses, rode out of the new barracks, and headed west.

The empty world, the galloping horses' hooves, even if the wind is cold, does not hinder the joy of the elegance.

Lao Mu hooked his body slightly on the horse, and stood shoulder to shoulder with her in all directions.

Originally, in order to take care of Lao Mu, she didn't do her best. But after riding for a while, she found that Lao Mu was still at ease.

So, she sped up, and although Lao Mu was a horse's head behind her, he always maintained this distance.

Good fellow, hide deep enough!

After thinking about it, Fenghua let go of all the restraints, accelerated without any scruples, and shouted in his heart: Happy! Carefree!

The mountains that had not been in the clouds became clearer and clearer, and after two hours, they came to the foot of the mountain.

In early spring, the mountains have melted and are wet everywhere, and some of the shoots are eager to burrow out of the branches or break through the ground.

"Old Mu, which mountain are we going to climb?" Fenghua asked with interest.

And Lao Mu got off the horse without hurry, tied it to the trunk of the tree, took out the kettle, and poured a large mouthful of water before he spoke: "What's the hurry, take a good rest." ”

"But it's getting dark, if you don't hurry up, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back to the recruit camp tonight." Fenghua was a little puzzled.

"Do you know what kind of mountain this is?" The old tree pointed to a high mountain a little farther away, and it was obvious that the snow above the mountainside had not yet melted.

"Liangan Mountain, on the other side of the mountain is Xirong." Fenghua replied, "More than 40 years ago, our Zhenxi army crossed this mountain, attacked Xirong in front and back, and made it a crushing defeat, and it could not turn over for decades. I heard that at that time, the Xirong army thought that the sky was descending from the sky. ”

As he spoke, Fenghua's eyes were full of smiles.

The general who led the Zhenxi Army over the Liangan Mountain was Fenghua's grandfather, General Gu.

"Do you want to go to Liangan Mountain?" Lao Mu saw the yearning in her eyes and proposed.

Fenghua's eyes lit up, of course she wanted to go to Liangan Mountain, the two armies had been fighting for more than ten years, and the Zhenxi Army had also thought about repeating the old tricks, but she couldn't replicate that victory.

The reason for this is not only because this mountain is a natural barrier, but also because after Xirong recovered, the first thing he did was to set up many ambushes and traps on the other side of Liangan Mountain, so no one could find a safe route.

If she could find a route and defeat Sijon was just around the corner, why wouldn't she want to go?

But she still refused, "The snow on the top of the mountain has not melted, there are only two of us, and we have no perfect preparations, it is not appropriate to go to Liangan Mountain this time, have you ever been there?" ”

"In the summer and autumn of last year, Sun Gangtou took me to go there a few times, but they were only active below the mountainside, and Sun Gangtou said that Xirong laid a trap at that end, and it was not appropriate to climb the mountain." Lao Mu replied.

"Let's go and have a look at those ones." Fenghua pointed to several smaller mountain ranges near Liangan Mountain.

Those mountains are close to Xijon, and they are relatively blurry on the map, and there are even differences between several maps.

"That's not far from even the dry mountain, it's dark when you walk over, and you can't go thousands of miles without accumulating steps." Lao Mu disagreed.

At the beginning, Sun Gangtou brought him here, and he slowly became familiar with him from near and far.

He didn't know that Fenghua already had a map in his heart and had his own plan, but he felt that Fenghua was a little ambitious.

Fenghua understood what Lao Mu meant, but still insisted, "Lead the horse to climb over this small slope and go around a section to the south, is it possible to ride a horse?" ”

Lao Mu glanced at her, "That's right, but you have to find it first." ”

The roads in this mountain are all stepped on by people, especially when trade is frequent, and the caravans are natural pioneers, but this trade has been stopped for more than ten years.....
