Huangwei Mountain borders the Khitan in the north, and there are more than ten miles of forbidden areas between the two countries, so the border between the two countries has been divided for five or six years, and the artemisia grass and trees are all over the forbidden area.

Recently, a sheep intestine trail with cut vines and broken trees crossed the ten-mile forbidden area of the two countries, leading directly to the back of the Huangweishan garrison in Qingguo.

The garrison fortress was full of devastation, the north gate was full of corpses, and the walls and the square guard towers were occupied by Khitan soldiers wearing animal skin velvet armor.

They took turns to keep an eye on the sentry and guard all directions in case Qingguo counterattacked.

However, as time went by and everything was safe, the soldiers gradually became a little slack, and even folded their hands and squinted against the wall.

At that time, a young man in armor walked from the watchtower, and there were three or five attendants behind him who took turns carrying a halberd.

The owner of this halberd is one of the young shuangjiao known as the Khitan Shuanglong, Yelu He, and the son of Yelu Xiao, the first national teacher of the Khitan who masterminded the southern attack on Qingguo.

Naturally, there was also the great commander of the Great Commander Dahe Luohan, who was defeated together with the last time in the Arashiyama Mountain.

The sentinels hurriedly raised their spirits to welcome the two generals to inspect.

Yeluhe and Dahe Luohan did not reproach them for their laziness, but instead cared about their warmth and coldness at night, cared about the well-being of their families, and told the truth that it is easy to attack the city and difficult to defend the city, and the importance of holding this place for the Khitan army to go south, when the army successfully moves south, the fertile land will completely change the nomadic life of the Khitan ancestors, and the soldiers present will not only be promoted to the rank of knight, but also become the heroes of the Khitan nation.

The sentinel soldiers who listened to it were full of longing.

At this point, Yeluhe and Dahe departed.

The soldiers stared at the distant back, their eyes were full of fighting spirit and blood, in this iron-blooded and ruthless military camp, lazy military discipline is a felony, and the commander-in-chief found that instead of punishment, he was intimate and cared for and encouraged.

It is precisely because the soldiers know this layer of reasoning that their eyes are more determined to be loyal.

When the two good generals got off the watchtower, the young man glanced at the burly commander with his muscles, and Dahe Luohan immediately understood, and ordered the sentry leader to be severely punished for joining the army next to him, on the grounds of passivity and laxity and lax management of the army.

Governing the army is like taming a beast, and you must be lenient to the subordinates, and you need grace and power to the superiors.

If in the past, Yeluhe may have opened one eye and closed one eye, but this mission is not only to assist the Khitan army to go south, but also to prepare for the shame of the snow and the mountains, and the military discipline will naturally be strictly prepared, he is like a hunter who tightens the bowstring waiting for the prey, and can give the intruder a fatal blow at any time, how can the bow, arrow, and string be strained when the attacker can make a mistake?

Because he Yeluhe knew that if Qingguo wanted to break the game, he had to enter this urn.

As for who enters the urn, it depends on who is unlucky, so he urged the soldiers to tighten the fighting state, and keep their armor and spears in their hands all day.

——

There is a mountain stretching for hundreds of miles in the north of Guanzi Village, which is one of the shortcuts for Zhao Zhengli and other five-way raids on Khitan soldiers.

The mountains and forests were bustling, and Song Maoling, who was dressed in a white robe, galloped on the trail with Song Zhongliang, the younger brother of the Seventh Emperor.

The trail was overgrown and the horses' hoof prints were scattered and dented, indicating that there were dozens of riding paths in the area.

Song Maoling saw this scene and raised his whip to urge the horse to chase, but the horse was inferior, the two people on their backs were already weak, and the long-distance run required its horse's life, not more than five miles, the four horse's legs were so tired that they trembled, the horse's mouth hung its tongue, and the two royal brothers accepted the compromise of reality.

If Song Maoling is alone, he can be really angry, galloping, helpless to spread the younger brother who has no foundation, short-distance can still be persistent, long-distance running naturally can't afford to consume, and the road is unpredictable, and the true qi needs to be kept in the best condition in case of accidents.

The two royal brothers hurried along the horseshoe prints.

The horseshoe prints on this road have been extended to the end of twenty miles away from Huangwei Mountain, and the horseshoe prints seem to disappear out of thin air, and they come to an abrupt end here.

Because the Khitan defense spies generally set up camps within fifteen miles to prevent deviations in distance, Zhao Zhengli and others abandoned their horses and hiked five miles in advance.

As for how to place the horses, Zhao Zhengli made a surprising decision.

Kill them all and cover them with shrubs, if they can live in this mission, the Khitan people in Huangwei Mountain will naturally keep more high-quality Khitan horses, if they can't live, how can the horses be used as wedding dresses?

More importantly, the fear that the horses would be frightened in the jungle and mess up the whole plan to ensure that nothing was left out was to kill them all.

The soldiers are all fierce generals in a hundred, how can they not understand this reason?

Horses accompany each other all year round, like a right arm, although they are distressed, for the sake of the overall situation, they also have to endure the pain of this broken arm, so that they are more determined to win.

Twilight.

The evening breeze in July in the north is gentle, and there is a secret whistle on the sixteen or seventeen miles of hills from Huangwei Mountain, three or two velvet armor animal skins are beside the body, and the waist is equipped with a scimitar, and there is no small talk without a word.

The three of them looked lazy, but their eyes kept scanning the eight directions, because they changed the guard every two hours, and they had already learned that the sentry leader was severely punished.

The night is getting deeper, and the moonlight is hazy, and the dark whistle also disappears into the night.

The shrubs and jungles were full of insects, and a few dark shadows were ghostly approaching the sentry hideout.

The speed was extremely fast, the Khitan soldiers found that they were ten meters away, one of the velvet armor soldiers raised a stick to beat the gong, and the next moment, a light appeared, flashing away from the bodies of the three people, and the three soldiers fell down like a broken puppet, and the wooden stick then fell towards the desktop gong, and was grabbed by a black shadow at a distance of inches, and then sat on the bench with residual warmth, and did not turn back to hook his fingers.

The next time, two black shadow men rushed in, and one of them gave a thumbs up and said with a northern accent: "Lord Duwei is very good!" ”

The black shadow man didn't pay any attention to the sudden sycophancy, and asked a few people: "Have all the stalkers been arranged?" ”

The two replied in unison: "They are all hidden according to the requirements of Lord Duwei, just wait for the Khitan soldiers to change the guard." ”

The man saw that the sycophants were ignored, and said with a straight face: "What is the next step for Lord Duwei?" I can say it in advance, I, Liu Dawei, will be the first to charge, so that I can kill happily. ”

This time, Lord Du Wei didn't ignore him, turned around and showed his white teeth, kicked him with a smile, and pointed to the corpse on the ground: "Change your clothes, these are only a few soldiers, let's do a big ticket, directly stab into the lair, and kill the Quartet." ”

Liu Dawei almost screamed after hearing this, and licked the corners of his mouth with a rough face and bloodthirsty: "I only like to do two things in my life, one is to women, and the other is to enemies, both of them are done to death." ”

Lord Duwei's handsome cheeks flashed a few black lines, but he still had a smile, Liu Dawei's eyes were stunned, and he subconsciously broke out: "Fortunately, Lord Duwei has worked hard, otherwise, with your appearance, it is estimated that you may be taken by those thieves in the military camp to satisfy your hunger!." ”

After saying that, he immediately felt remorse, and then his whole body was as cold as if he had fallen into a 10,000-year-old ice cellar, and the other person also had chills down his spine after the shock.

Such a blatant provocation of the boss, unclear self-defeating, even if you don't die, you have to lose a layer of skin, last time I heard that there was a chief of the Lan Army who openly ridiculed Xiao Dutong, and died inexplicably in the wilderness two days later, not to mention that the person in front of him is in the stage of being young and vigorous, how can he put down his face?

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment, and when everyone was ready to welcome the power of thunder, the handsome smile smiled even more, and patted Liu Dawei, who was so nervous that he broke out in a cold sweat: "Just when you're praising me!" ”

Only then did the man come to his senses, and he knelt on the ground and slapped himself in remorse: "The little one should be damned, and the little one is open-mouthed, please punish Lord Duwei." ”

The young lieutenant stopped and helped him up to tidy up the velvet armor and animal skins he had put on: "Captain Bendu is not angry when he is as outspoken and fast-talking as you, but if he uses methods behind his back, the consequences will be difficult to say!" ”

Liu Dawei didn't hear what he said, and he was flattered to refuse Lord Duwei to tidy up his clothes, and he was almost moved to cry and shout to his mother to thank him for the grace of reconstruction.

After hearing this, the man behind him shuddered when he felt a sharp sword hanging above his head, and then quickly calmed down, because he was sure that the young lieutenant did not know about it.

However, his short-term mood swings had already been noticed by the young Duwei Mingrui, and his deep eyes like peach blossoms swept him with a smile: "Xu Liang heard that your old mother is seriously ill and dying, can she get better now?" ”

When the man heard Lord Du Lieutenant call him, he was stunned and stammered, "Thank you... Lord Xie Duwei hangs... Worry, old mother... Dear, my life has been... It's all right, Lang... Lang Zhong said that in the second half of his life... Sheng can only rest in bed. ”

He didn't dare to look at the young lieutenant from beginning to end, and lowered his head and eyes, extremely nervous.

The young lieutenant was very puzzled, how could such a cowardly soldier come out of the hundred people under his jurisdiction? He was so nervous that he stumbled even after saying a few words, so he pretended to be stern: "Look at Captain Pontus!" ”

He was stunned, not only nervous, but more panicked, trembling and raising his head to slowly meet the beautiful eyes that had been staring at him for a long time.

At that moment, as if he had been seen thoroughly, Xu Liang's legs trembled and he was paralyzed, and he felt death enveloping his whole body.

Fortunately, there were only a few breaths, because the young lieutenant didn't think too much about it, and just thought that this guy was a "fear of officials", the kind of sesame mung bean big officials who could be scared to pee.

Lord Du Lieutenant patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "With your guts, don't say it's my Zhao Zhengli's soldier when you go out!" You're not ashamed, I'm ashamed. ”

Xu Liang breathed a sigh of relief for the rest of his life, nodded and admitted his mistake.

Zhao Zhengli added: "In the future, you will be around me and practice courage!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the falling heart rose to his throat again, and Xu Liang said in his heart: "Is he testing me?" ”

Liu Dawei was anxious when he heard this: "My lord, you can't like the new and hate the old, wow, my old Liu will give you all my heart, this guy has thin arms and legs, one can't make a sycophant, and the second is not old Liu can fight, there is no comparison!" ”

Zhao Zhengli smiled brightly, hated that iron could not be made of steel, and kicked a man who was much older than him: "Rough and rough, how can you be the same as a girl, what?" What about competing for favor here? We are all brothers in the same battalion, and I, Zhao Zhengli, absolutely treat everyone equally. ”

The atmosphere eased for a moment, and Xu Liang was also stunned after hearing this, and then the sentry soldiers came to ventilate: "Captain Zhao Baili, the three people of the Khitan changing guard appeared three miles away. ”

After listening to this, Zhao Zhengli said: "Everyone is in place, wait for the fish to take the bait!" ”

The man was ordered to retreat and disappear into the moonlight.

Zhao Zhengli and the others tidied up their velvet armor, put on animal skins, hid their corpses, and imitated the Khitan soldiers to guard and defend like they did.

Not long after, three Khitan soldiers with the same velvet armor and animal skins arrived at the outpost hiding point, and the three of them got straight to the point and said: "It's cold in the north!" ”

Liu Dawei and Xu Liang were stunned, because they spoke Khitan language, Zhao Zhengli had seen several Chinese dialects in the nine-story attic of the "Taoist Guiyi" in the Tianshi Mansion in the capital before, and he could understand daily life, and he naturally understood that "it was cold in the north" This was the code language of their temporary communication.

However, he couldn't answer the second half of the sentence, and the three Khitan soldiers also realized that something was wrong, and before the three of them could react, a red blank took the lead in slashing the throats of the three people, and blood splashed in the air, so that Liu Dawei and Xu Liang had not yet come to their senses.

The two only felt that the Khitan soldiers in front of them were cut off when they said a word.

Fast and accurate to be withdrawn to the fullest.

This is their new understanding of Zhao Duwei in front of them.

The young lieutenant followed closely and searched the three of them, and the action was completed smoothly, and then he glanced at the two of them: "Go!" ”

Liu Dawei and the two were confused: "Where are you going?" ”

Zhao Zhengli was dissatisfied with the results of the looting, and said angrily: "Aren't you going to charge?" Of course you have to go to the lair! ”

Liu Dawei is of course simple-minded and not stupid, seeing Zhao Duwei's serious face, he swallowed his saliva: "I'm going to call the sentry brothers!" ”

Before the front foot stepped out, he was grabbed by Zhao Zhengli: "Prevent the grass from startling the snake, they are secretly leading, let's just do it!" ”

Liu Dawei was obviously stunned: "Just... Just the two of us? ”

Zhao Zhengli nodded very seriously: "Let's wait for the Khitan soldiers who act as a change of guard to return to the camp, and use the code words just now to call the door to try the effect." ”

Liu Dawei was not confident for a moment, thinking that Lord Duwei quickly became excited again, Xu Liang didn't speak, but he was inexplicably happy in his heart.
