"When the prince of Arida goes out of the mountains to help, it's like a tiger with wings."

Hua Xiong laughed and glanced at Guo Jia and Zhou Cang, with a little smugness in his eyes.

For a person like Tian Chou, if you use fame and fortune to tempt him, or threaten him with your life, it is useless.

The most suitable thing is to impress him with such great things as establishing a life for heaven and earth and seeking peace for the people.

This is also the reason why Hua Xiong can succeed, while Yuan Shao and others will fail.

"Tian Gong, we came to visit you this time, firstly, to invite you out of the mountain, and secondly, to ask for your help if there is something to do."

Huaxiong Road.

"King Wei Dan Whenever he speaks, as long as the old man can do it, it is absolutely incumbent."

Tian Chou said with a serious face.

"Here's the thing, we're going to attack 1 Wuhuan ......"

Hua Xiong told Tian Chou the purpose of his coming.

"King Wei plans to use troops against Wu Huan, which is a fortunate thing. But this matter is not very convenient. ”

Tian Chou's face was a little embarrassed.

Hua Xiong, Guo Jia, and Zhou Cang looked at each other.

"Dare to ask Tian Gong, what's inconvenient? Don't you want to? ”

"No, no, no, of course I support King Wei's attack on 1 Wuhuan.

The Wuhuan people burned, killed and looted in Youzhou, and did all kinds of evil. I only hate myself for not having the power to exterminate them.

It's just the old road you are talking about, muddy and difficult to walk.

Even the hunters in the town, who go hunting on weekdays, rarely pass from there.

The army of the imperial court, if you want to go from there, I am afraid it is extremely difficult. ”

Tian Chou sighed, looking helpless.

But after listening to his explanation, Hua Xiong, Guo Jia, and Zhou Cang were not disappointed, but showed a smile.

"Tian Gong, what else should I think is the problem, I see."

Hua Xiong said with a smile.

Looking at him with a confident look, Tian Chou said with some doubts,

"King Wei, I'm afraid you haven't seen that path with your own eyes.

Because of its disrepair, it has long been dilapidated. ”

"Tian Gong, don't worry, this matter is fine."

Hua Xiong smiled and waved his hand.

Tian Chou saw that Hua Xiong had made up his mind, so he had to sigh and keep silent.

Hua Xiong discussed with Guo Jia, and then asked Zhou Cang to return to Jixian County and mobilize the army.

Three days later, Zhang Liao, Jiang Wei, and Deng Ai led an army of 30,000 and rushed to Xu Wushan.

And Wei Yan and Gan Ning took the rest of the soldiers and stayed in Jixian County to deceive the Wuhuan people.

……

"This is the path."

Tian Chou walked to a high place with the support of several soldiers.

Following the direction he pointed, Hua Xiong looked over.

Sure enough, as Tian Chou said, this path is dilapidated between the lofty mountains and mountains.

Where the road is narrow, only one person can pass through.

The entrance is hidden by disorderly shrubs and weeds.

"Thank you Tian Gong."

Hua Xiong nodded and ordered the soldiers behind him,

"Zhou Cang, you take the sapper team and open the way in front of the front!"

"Whoa!"

Zhou Cang pulled out the sapper shovel behind him and beckoned to the back.

Soon a group of sappers with various equipment stood out of the queue.

Under the leadership of Zhou Cang, they began to open the way ahead.

Seeing the strange-looking sapper shovel in Zhou Cang's hands, Tian Chou was a little surprised,

"My lord, what is this?"

Hua Xiong explained with a smile,

"This thing is called the sapper shovel and has a wide range of uses. It can be used to open roads or to build fortifications. It can also be used as a weapon for self-defense when encountering enemies and the like. ”

Tian Chou looked carefully.

I saw that as Zhou Cang and others waved the sapper shovel, those weeds were cleared one after another, and the bushes with thick bowl mouths broke directly as soon as the shovel went down.

In less than a stick of incense, the entrance, which was originally full of weeds and shrubs, was cleaned up.

"This thing is really a treasure."

Tian Chou said with emotion.

Hua Xiong smiled.

He had only fifty of the sapper shovels, which he had given to the sapper battalion.

As a result, as soon as the engineer shovel appeared in the barracks, it caused a rush among the officers and men of the whole army.

Because the sapper shovel is strong and durable, it is too versatile, and the shape is also amazing.

Zhou Cang was cheeky, found Hua Xiong, and asked for a sapper shovel.

Even Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others took the initiative to find Huaxiong and wanted to collect it.

It's a pity that only fifty were given in the lottery, and Huaxiong didn't have so many.

He had tried to ask the Ordnance Division to build a sapper shovel, but due to iron and technical reasons, the construction was not satisfactory.

So Hua Xiong also dispelled this idea.

The road ahead had been cleared, and Hua Xiong gave the order to set off.

Tian Chou was studying Zhou Cang's sapper shovel, and was coldly picked up.

"General Zhou Cang, what are you doing?"

Tian Chou was taken aback.

"Tian Gong, you are old, and the lord asked me to carry you forward."

Zhou Cang said with a smile.

"But the mountain road is difficult, isn't it even more difficult for you to carry me on your back?"

Tian Chou hesitated.

Zhou Cang smiled disappreciatively,

"In our usual military training, we all run cross-country with a weight of 30 kilograms.

That's a lot more tiring than carrying you on your back. ”

As he spoke, he began to march in great stride.

Tian Chou looked at it for a while, and found that sure enough, what Zhou Cang said was right.

Zhou Cang carried himself on his back while walking like a fly.

Not to mention him, even the soldiers who were carrying the baggage next to them were all relaxed and vigorous.

This mountain road, which is difficult for ordinary people to pass, was actually walked by Huaxiong and them like a flat road.

According to the original plan, Hua Xiong led the light cavalry from Lulongsai and traveled hundreds of miles in the lofty mountains.

It took eight days for them to finally arrive at White Wolf Mountain!

Looking at the towering White Wolf Mountain not far away, Tian Chou couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"This ...... It's incredible! ”

He muttered to himself.

He had followed the town's hunters along the trail before.

At that time, it took nearly a month for their group to arrive at White Wolf Mountain.

And now Huaxiong's army only took eight days!

How does this not surprise Tian Chou?

Looking at the soldiers who had gone through the eight-day rapid march in the mountains, but still had high morale and were in good spirits, Tian Chou sighed sincerely,

"King Wei has such an elite armor, how can he worry about the immortality of Wuhuan?"

"It's thanks to Tian Gong for showing us the way." Hua Xiong said with a smile.

"King Wei, that's all I can help you.

Less than 200 miles further north is Liucheng. ”

"Tian Gong has worked hard. Come on, send Tian Gong back first. ”

Hua Xiong waved his hand.

Considering that after a few days of rapid marching, the soldiers were a little tired, Hua Xiong ordered them to rest in place.

He called Zhang Liao, Guo Jia, Zhou Cang, Jiang Wei, and Deng Ai and held a simple military meeting.

"In your opinion, how should this battle be fought?"

Hua Xiong asked.

"Needless to say, of course, it is to go straight to Liucheng and pluck the graves of the ancestors of the Wuhuan people!"

Zhou Cang's eyes lit up excitedly.
