Yellow Maple Valley, surrounded by mountains on three sides, only one side has a road to pass.

It is named because there are many maple trees on the mountains and valleys on three sides, and the valleys are full of yellow in autumn.

This is a famous scenic spot in the Gyeonggi area, where many rich and noble families come here to feast and drink, and sing poems and songs.

However, if there is chaos today, everyone is in danger. Even though it is late autumn, the valley is golden and beautiful, but it is empty, only a few gray-haired hares are jumping and foraging among the grass and trees, so they are not at ease.

But at noon, with a tremor of the ground, a team entered from the mouth of the valley, and the momentum was not small, and the hares were immediately frightened and fled, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

In the middle of the team, Chen Yibin, the armor with bright armor and a sword hanging from his waist, the Nanyang garrison general with extraordinary aura did not pay attention to this little movement at this time, but quickly took his eyes to the valley and scanned it, and only after a while did he give an order: "Enter the valley to search, see if those bandits have set up an ambush here!" ”

As the words fell, more than 100 soldiers had already walked out of the team and quickly searched all over the valley.

Naturally, it is impossible for them to gain anything, and now the entire Yellow Maple Valley is clearly presented in front of their eyes, how can there be half a figure.

When his subordinates reported it, Chen Yibin smiled with satisfaction: "Then arrange everything properly and wait for them to come to the door!" ”

"General Yingming, this time those bandits will all fall into our grasp!" The subordinates beside him hurriedly praised him, which caused General Chen to laugh proudly again.

"It's just a few thousand bandits, so you don't have to be too careful. If they really have the ability, they won't have been hiding in the mountains for many years and don't dare to come out. Someone else joked.

"That's not what I said, since the side of the force that Lord Taishou attaches importance to, there must be some ability." Chen Yibin didn't answer this, waved his hand, and motioned his subordinates to act according to the plan immediately.

So soon, not only did the two thousand soldiers and horses enter the valley, but also the big carts followed, filling nearly half of the Yellow Maple Valley, which could accommodate 10,000 people.

Seeing this, Chen Yibin frowned again: "Put the vehicle back, and divide half of the people to hide in the forest." ”

Although his subordinates were very unimpressed with the Pishan bandits, Chen Yibin still made careful deployments, and even set up an ambush here.

If it weren't for the lack of time, he would have deliberately let half of the men and horses go around the mountains on three sides to set up an ambush, so as to completely control everything in this valley.

Just when everyone was busy hiding, Chen Yibin walked around the valley, had a plan in his heart, and began to be a little impatient, and the scouts who stayed outside hurried in to report: "General, they are here." ”

"How many people are coming?"

"I look like there are only more than 300 people, but they all have weapons, bows and crossbows......

"Hmph, I'm pretty careful. Let them come in and talk! ”

With Chen Yibin's order, the team blocking the entrance outside had already moved out of the way, letting go of this team of more than 300 people, watching the rather fierce team enter the valley.

When he officially saw these people coming, Chen Yibin's eyes narrowed, and he felt a trace of strangeness and pressure for no reason.

Because this team that slowly approached him was not as scattered and chaotic as the bandits and thieves he imagined, they were in a neat formation, and their movements were also very orderly, and even their footsteps looked quite consistent.

What kind of rabble in a bandit den is this, it is clearly a well-trained army.

It even looks more like an official army than the Nanyang defenders under him.

"Maybe they used it to support the façade, wanting to make a deep impression on us, so as to get more benefits."

Chen Yibin made a conjecture in his heart, and at the same time added with a sneer: "But even so, your fate is the same!" ”

However, when the other party led a few people to ride a horse to him, the smile on his face became much more sincere, and his gaze quickly swept on the faces of several people, and finally fell on the young man in the middle: "Your Excellency is Sun Ning and Sun Zhai's master?" ”

"That's me." Sun Ning sat on the back of the horse, and didn't mean to greet him at all, but asked casually: "What about you Yang Taishou?" Didn't you say that you would like to meet us in the valley and talk about the details of the cooperation? ”

How could Lord Taishou surrender his identity to meet you and the others?

Chen Yibin thought disdainfully in his heart again, but said: "The affairs in the city are busy, and my lord can't take a break for a while, so he can only send me here."

"I am Chen Yibin, the general of the Nanyang garrison, and my lord has handed over everything to me. Also, I also brought the weapons and armor and other things mentioned before to you to show my sincerity in Nanyang. ”

As he spoke, he turned around slightly and pointed at the dozens of carts behind him: "Does Lord Sun Zhai want to check it?" ”

"No need, I can trust Yang Taishou's character, it seems that you really want to cooperate with us."

Sun Ning waved his hand, not by himself or by sending someone to look forward, but continued to look at Chen Yibin with a smile: "Since General Chen is fully responsible for this matter, then I have two things that need to be asked." ”

Seeing that Sun Ning had no intention of going over, Chen Yibin's brows furrowed again.

Originally, in his arrangement, he was going to lead them there. The maximum range of the ambush he had set up in the woods was to the left of the vehicle, and he could shoot them all if he stepped forward and shot them all with a flurry of arrows.

There was some trouble now, so I could only say patiently: "What's the matter, but it's okay to say it." ”

"First, in Mrs. Yang's heart, what do you think of our Bishan Wuzhai as well? It's just a pawn at his mercy, or is it a sword honor that makes him famous? ”

"This ...... Hmmm......"

Chen Yibin originally just wanted to say a few perfunctory words, and then mention that they should go back.

But then I found out that this question is not right, and it seems that both statements are very unfriendly.

But before he could give a clearer response, Sun Ning's next question arrived.

"Also, what did you do in ambush in the woods over there? It's not like you're going to kill me here, is it? ”
