"Out of customs?" Hearing this, both Sun Yi and Wu Peng were puzzled.

Sun Yi shook his head: "It will never be so simple, if he wants to get out of the customs, there are soft persimmons in the direction of Liangzhou, why should he risk coming to Xuegu Pass, are he not afraid of being attacked by my Lizhou battalion and the defenders of Xuegu Pass?" ”

As soon as these words came out, some military attachés with low understanding also became suspicious.

Wu Peng, who had already lost some anger, said: "They go out directly, they don't love war, a famous general like Luo Yang will never do such a risky and profitable thing." ”

"Could it be that in the direction of Liangzhou, the Yulin Army has already gone to support, so Luo Yang doesn't want to be tough, so he will surprise me Xueguguan and return to Beiliang from here?" Vice Admiral Xueguguan said.

The crowd shook their heads.

Wu Peng said: "No matter what the reason is, Luo Yang has already succeeded, I have an ominous premonition, this time it seems that we have not lost much, but it may cause a big disaster." ”

"Huh?"

Only then did Wu Peng notice: "General Sun, did your deputy general Ning Wu stay in Lizhou?" ”

"No, he went to inspect the middle section of the Beibi Snow Mountain and took dozens of scouts with him."

At this time, a few people didn't know what Ning Wu was doing.

"Hmph, there is no warning in Liangzhou, the young master is still in Liangzhou, such a thing happened, I think he really has no military talent...... Why did Your Majesty make him a prisoner? ”

Wu Peng was very annoyed, and scolded Fang Jue by the way.

At this moment, a general came running from outside and said with a smile and a smile:

"Two generals, the messenger of the Liangzhou battalion came to report and told us to be careful of Luoyang, he came with most of the Northern Liang army......"

Hearing this, Wu Peng and Sun Yi glanced at each other helplessly.

Yes, the messenger sent from the direction of Liangzhou could not have arrived earlier than the Northern Liang Army.

I am afraid that all those who met on the way have already died in the hands of the scouts of the Beiliang Army.

"Brother Wu, let's say a few words, the young master is very good, at least I guessed that the Beiliang Army would go out of the snow valley mouth, and sent someone to come here directly to remind you." Sun Yi sighed.

"Two generals, what should you do next, do you want to go out and pursue Luo Yang?" A general asked.

"Chase?" Both of them stared at him.

"What are you chasing? There are at least more than 10,000 cavalry, but our cavalry can't make up 3,000, how can we fight? ”

Not to mention three thousand, horse harnesses, horse weapons, and mature cavalry who can control horses can't add up to three thousand sets.

If Luo Yang turned back to fight, they would be tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.

Sun Yidao: "Since the Snow Valley Pass has not been lost, the people of my Lizhou battalion will be pulled back, and the more than 1,000 cavalry of my pioneer battalion will stay here first." ”

Wu Peng said: "It's okay, you go back to defend Lizhou first...... The city wall has to be repaired, Brother Sun, if Luoyang goes to Lizhou this time, can your city wall stop it? ”

Hearing this, the people in the Lizhou camp all smiled awkwardly.

How many officials have been implicated in the matter of the Lizhou city wall, but this year, it is too late to make up for it.

If the household department's money is insufficient, it will not be able to repair it, and it must not embezzle the soldiers' salaries, because doing so will lead to mutiny.

……

North Snow Mountain, middle section.

Approaching the top of the mountain, the five men looked back and saw that the snowy slope was full of blood.

"General......

Seeing the familiar figure fall, the five of them gritted their teeth, climbed over the snow-capped mountain with a mission, and disappeared in front of everyone in the Lizhou camp.

Ning Wu wiped off the scarred face, sprayed the hot blood on his face, covered the left shoulder that had been slashed, and asked people to tie him to stop the bleeding.

Glancing up, Ning Wu said worriedly, "What is in the bag carried by the five horses?" ”

"General, are you still chasing?" Wu Chang gritted his teeth and asked, he was also injured, and he blocked a knife for Ning Wu, but fortunately it was not critical.

Seeing that he had also saved half his life, Ning Wu still said in a slightly slower tone: "I'm just afraid that I have to chase it." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the scout team of only a dozen people left.

Most of them were killed, all of them were wounded, and this was the price, and the result was the killing of all the bandits.

"General, there are ninety-eight horse bandits, and if you count the five who escaped, it should be one hundred and three." One person counted out the report later.

Wu Chang smiled bitterly: "But we ......"

Looking back, all of them were injured, and even a few people couldn't move easily and needed to be carried back.

There are only ten people who can act.

"I know that you brothers, you are already a little tired and injured...... But the goods carried by the horses made me a little worried, and they would rather sacrifice so many people than escort those five people away, definitely for the sake of those goods. ”

"What kind of goods can be so valuable?" Some people are puzzled.

At this pass, what valuables of gold, silver and jade silk are not worth the lives of so many people.

Unless it's some kind of internal spy intelligence, but that thing is enough to write on a piece of paper, and you don't need so many sacks.

Seeing that the matter has come to this point, he is afraid that no one will want to follow, Ning Wu can only tell the truth.

"My brother Ning Fei in the Hanging Sword Division told me that he was investigating the Beiliang spy in Qidi, and those people wanted to take away the new grain and grain from the Qi Palace, and this group of people came from the east and brought such important goods, I am afraid that it is the stolen grain!"

"Shhhh

Everyone took a big breath.

"The legend is true?" Quite a few soldiers were amazed.

The legend of the capital, intentionally or unintentionally, has long been spread all over the country.

The common people, in particular, heard the rumor, but basically thought that it was a warlock who had misled the country.

It is not that there have been similar things before, and in the end, it was verified that the emperor was deceived, and there have been such bold people in all dynasties.

"The new grain is said to produce at least 3,000 catties per mu, but is it true?" A soldier asked.

Ning Wu laughed: "I wasn't sure before, but my brother said that it was like this, so the boss attaches great importance to it, and must not let a grain seed cross the border!" ”

When Wu Chang heard this, his strength suddenly seemed to recover, and he said: "If this is the case, then I will wait to go to the soup and go to the fire, and I will not give up!" ”

"Let's go, bring the bow and arrows and get on the horse, it should be too late!"

A group of people walked first, and the scouts who came up the mountain below to support only saw corpses all over the ground and horseshoe prints on the snowy mountains.

North of the snow-capped mountains.

The north side is a steep slope, and four people and five horses cannot go down the mountain directly, and they will fall into slag.

"Sixth, eldest brother, they're all dead, right?"

"Don't talk, keep your strength, and find a slightly gentler slope to descend the mountain."

The sixth man led two horses, because one of the five people accidentally stepped on a snow pit and fell into a crack in the mountain when he was climbing the mountain.

"If we are caught up and thrown down the cliff, the people who answer us will find us." The sixth reminded.

"Isn't it going to break if it's so high?"

Although it is possible to guess what kind of thing it looks like from the shape of the sack, everyone does not know what the thing is and what is the use of this thing falling to the ground.

Only the sixth child, as the boss's henchman, he is the only one who knows the inside story.

One said: "Sixth brother, is it really worth it for us to be like this, so many people have died, and the eldest brother has also died, just for these bags of goods?" ”

Some people even questioned: "Is it some treasure purchased for a certain powerful person in the country?" ”

Faced with this somewhat angry tone, Lao Liu felt that it was time, otherwise he would be blind.

He sighed: "It's a treasure, but it's not for the powerful, it's for the people of Beiliang." ”

"What?"

"Sixth brother, don't be joking, how is it possible, the boss will be so attentive to the people?" Some scoffed.

The sixth child also smiled, he said this just to be nice, to put it bluntly, Beiliang needs this, and it is not for the people.

What's more, it can reduce the casualties of the southward movement, and it can be self-sufficient without relying on trade with other countries.

Beiliang is located in a cold zone, grain can only be grown for one season, the yield is low, and there is very little fertile land, which is not enough to maintain internal needs.

That's why trade and raid are needed.

Trade, it is easy to get stuck, and once other countries are not willing to give, they have to kill a lot of people.

"Have you ever heard of the legendary high-yielding new grain?" The sixth asked.

"What?"

"Sixth brother, do you mean, these are all new grains?" Several people suddenly felt that their bodies were hot, their blood was boiling, and most of the cold was expelled.

The sixth nodded: "The genius of the world who came from His Excellency the Emperor is indeed a genius, and he dedicated the high-yield grain to the Emperor of the Xia Kingdom to get the title of young master...... I have to have such a thing in Beiliang! ”

"To this end, we have mobilized all our forces, not hesitating to expose many spies who have been dormant for generations, but also to get new food."

Lao Liudao: "To tell you the truth, we are the most hopeful, the team that will send the grain back to Beiliang, and Luo Shuai will wait at the border below the mountain to meet us." ”

"Luo Shuai?" Several people were from Beiliang, and they were suddenly pleasantly surprised.

"Is it Luo Yang? The third on the list of famous generals in the Emperor Pavilion? ”

"Yes."

Several people looked satisfied.

One person said: "With Luo Shuai to respond, this life is also complete, haha, it's worth it to die!" ”

"Poof—"

Suddenly, an arrow burst through the air from a distance, piercing the man's neck, and before he could finish his words, he fell off his horse with a straight eye.

"Let's go!" The sixth man led the man's horse, and quickly slapped the horse's buttocks, letting the horse run.

And he gave his goods, and the horse of the man who had fallen into the crack, to the remaining two.

But he turned, drew his sword, and rode on his horse to block the only way on the mountain.

"Good man!" Ning Wu shot a few arrows, but they were bounced off by Lao Liu, he immediately exclaimed, and the horse galloped over.

The spear in his hand lit up a cold light!
