The magnificent and heroic battle lasted from morning to noon, and from noon to evening, without stopping for a moment, the Khitan soldiers followed one after another, and continued to impact the city wall with awesome bravery, but the Yanmen Pass was too majestic and precipitous, and the Yanyun army was the elite division of the world, and the Khitan army that was brave and good at fighting attacked for a day and a night, and did not make the slightest progress at all.

As the sun set, the heavens and the earth were blood-red, and there were already mountains of corpses under the city wall, but the Khitan army was still stepping on the corpses of their own soldiers like crazy beasts and constantly rushing upward, and there were more and more corpses under the city wall, but they didn't have the slightest intention of stopping, as if they didn't know how to be afraid at all! But their courageous attack was only rewarded with more corpses.

Yehu Hucheng always frowned, holding the scimitar tightly in his palm, seeing that his soldiers were already showing exhaustion, he had to order a temporary withdrawal of troops. The Khitan army retreated like a tide. Yang Peng stood on the city wall facing the setting sun and looked at the retreating enemy army, his expression was grim, and the afterglow of the setting sun reflected on his body, making him look like a statue made of brass.

Yelu Hucheng and the others returned to the big tent. Ye Yu Hucheng frowned and said, "Yanmen Heavenly Danger really lives up to its reputation!" "All the generals are depressed, today's battle, their own soldiers can be described as extremely fierce, not afraid of death and continue to sacrifice their lives to attack, the generals feel that if they change an opponent, they should have already captured Yanmen Pass, but the situation in front of them has not been able to shake Yanmen Pass! Their own soldiers are brave, the soldiers of Yanyun Army are even more brave, their own soldiers sacrifice their lives to attack, and the other party is even more fearless of death, in short, although the performance of their own army today is very remarkable, but Yanyun can always overwhelm one head, and Yanmen Pass is such a steep and majestic pass, so although their soldiers have tried their best to pay a considerable price, they still have not been able to make any progress.

Xiao Hong frowned and said: "Such a frontal attack, even if it is finally broken, I am afraid that our army will pay an unimaginable price!" The hearts of the crowd became even heavier. Yelu Hucheng looked at Xiao Hong and asked, "You once tried to bypass Yanmen Pass through a small road,...... Xiao Hong said with a face full of shame: "The last general is not self-sufficient, Yan Yunjun has long been prepared for this move, but the last general was ambushed and suffered heavy losses, and the last general almost died in the mountain!" ”

"I mean, is it possible to find another way?" That Yan Yunjun doesn't necessarily know all the passages! Xiao Hong lowered his head and thought for a while, "Maybe there is, the last general doesn't know, but you can send people to catch hunters and medicine farmers around, maybe you will find something!" Yelu Hucheng nodded, "Without further ado, do it immediately!" Xiao Hong answered and ran down.

At the same time, Yang Peng and the others were standing in front of the sand table discussing the strategies that the Khitan army might adopt, and as they spoke, the topic fell to the path of the Yanmen mountains, Han Bing said: "If I am the enemy, I will definitely find a way to bypass Yanmen Pass if I hit such a big nail today!" Although we have two paths, no one can guarantee that there will be a third, fourth, or even more way! We have to guard against this! ”

Everyone nodded, and Yang Peng pondered: "Han Bing is right, now for the Khitan army, the best and most effective way is to find such a way to bypass our front!" The mountains of Yanmen, although it is difficult to fly the swallows, there is no guarantee that there is no such path that we don't know! The devil is in the details, and we can't afford to be negligent! The generals nodded. Yang Peng looked at Han Bing, Yang Erya, and Yang Jiumei, "You have been in Yanmen Pass for a long time, what do you think we should do?" ”

The eyes of all the generals converged on the three girls, the three girls glanced at each other, Yang Erya and Yang Jiumei all asked Han Bing to say, and Han Bing said: "The people who know the mountains of Yanmen best are the local hunters and farmers who collect medicines, and the two paths we currently master are all learned from them!" I think that in order to find out more, we have to start with these hunters and farmers! ”

Yang Peng nodded and looked at Han Bing, "We also have to think of the worst-case scenario, if the enemy finds a path that we don't know, how can we prevent it?" ”

Han Bing frowned and said, "Little sister is stupid, she can't think of a better solution, she just knows how to set up more observation posts on the top of the peaks of various mountains!" Yang Jing said loudly: "My sister-in-law is the most amazing, I Yang Jing can't think of such a good way!" Meng Hu couldn't help but laugh; Yang Jing, you're a sycophant! Yang Jing's eyes widened, "I just filmed, what's wrong?" My sister-in-law is amazing, I just want to shoot my sister-in-law! Like you, even if you beg me to shoot it, I won't shoot it! Everyone laughed, and Meng Hu nodded with a smile: "Yang Jing is very reasonable!" Yang Jing couldn't help but smile when he saw that Meng Hu agreed with his words.

Yelu Hanyu smiled and said to Yang Peng: "Sister Han Bing's method is very good, I can't think of a better way, big brother, do you have a better way?" Yang Peng shook his head, glanced at Han Bing, and smiled; Our female military gods can't think of a better way, and I naturally can't think of either! Han Bing heard Yang Peng call himself a 'female military god', his heart was very happy, his face flushed, and he glared at Yang Peng with disgust, but under this strange expression, there was a clear taste of joy.

Yelu Hanyu said narrowly: "Okay, okay, you two don't frown, let's talk about business." Yang Peng smiled, and all the generals also laughed, but Han Bing was embarrassed, looking at Han Bing with infinite shame, and Yelu Hanyu pursed his lips and smiled. Yang Peng smiled: "Okay, let's talk about business." All eyes fell on him. Yang Peng glanced at Yang Jiumei, "Ninth sister, this matter of visiting the medicine farmer hunter will be handed over to you." Yang Jiumei hugged her fists and promised. Yang Peng's gaze turned to Han Bing and said with a smile: "Han Bing, as for where to add observation posts, it's up to you to decide." Han Bing nodded.

Yang Peng glanced at the generals, "Everyone return to their respective posts, be careful, don't be negligent!" Everyone stood up, promised in unison, bowed to Yang Peng, and retreated, only Yelu Hanyu did not leave, turned his head and said to Yang Peng with a smile: "I, a person who has nothing to do, is still good!" Look at the reluctant eyes of your sisters, hehe, they must be envious of me! ”

Yang Peng laughed and said angrily: "You think like this, but it's very bad!" Yelu Hanyu pursed his lips and smiled, and wrinkled his good-looking nose at Yang Peng. Then he straightened his expression and frowned slightly: "Big brother, I'm a little worried about the current situation!" ”

Yang Peng smiled and glanced at Yelu Hanyu, "Worried about the Khitans or the Western Xia?" ”

"I'm worried." Yelu Hanyu frowned, "There are a large number of Khitan troops, although we have Yanmen natural danger, but whether we can hold it, it's really hard to say!" If there is a slip-up,...... Yang Peng said: "I have already thought about this section. Glancing at Yelu Hanyu, "If the situation is really unfavorable, I will give up Datong Mansion and shrink all my troops back, which should ensure that Yanmen Pass is safe!" ”

Yelu Hanyu asked with a smile: "Big brother is willing to give up Datong Mansion?" Yang Peng laughed, and then looked at Yelu Hanyu affectionately, "It's just a city, what's so reluctant!" If it were you, then I would have fought hard and would never give up! Yelu Hanyufang's heart trembled, and he looked at Yang Peng, his eyes were clearly rippling with sea-like tenderness, and then he glanced at Yang Peng, "You will talk nonsense!" If you really do that, won't you become a faint king who wants beauties and not the country? Yang Peng said: "I'm going to be a faint king!" In my heart, how can you be as important as you? ”

Yelu Hanyu looked at Yang Peng stupidly, retracted his gaze, and sighed faintly, "In this way, the world will definitely say that we are fox spirits who bring disaster to the country and the people!" Yang Peng's heart fluttered, "If you are Daji, I will be the king!" Yelu Hanyu smiled and glanced at Yang Peng, "Don't be ashamed!" Hey, I'm not the only one who has you! ”

Yang Peng couldn't help but say: "I really hope that I can meet you in the next life and continue to be husband and wife, I'm afraid that at that time I was just an ordinary person, and you beauties who have captivated the country and the city will not look at me!" ”

Yelu Hanyu gently guarded Yang Peng, and said infatuatedly: "No matter what kind of person you become in your next life, whether it is a peddler or a pawn, a farmer or a hawker, or a thief or robber, I will be your woman!" Yang Peng's heart was rippling, and he couldn't help but say: "Mei'er! Yelu Hanyufang's heart rippled, and suddenly remembered something serious, and couldn't help but glance at Yang Peng, and said softly: "Let's talk about the things in front of us!" Yang Peng nodded, and said solemnly: "After finishing business, let's talk about love again!" Yelu Hanyu smiled and wanted to talk about serious things, but was stirred up by Yang Peng, and couldn't figure it out for a while, he couldn't help glaring at Yang Peng, and said angrily: "It's all your fault, people don't know where to go!" ”

Yang Peng smiled, touched his nose, and said: "I said that I can give up Datong Mansion when I have to...... I have to" Yelu Hanyu nodded, glanced at Yang Peng, and said with relief: "Big brother can break the wrist of a strong man, I will be relieved!" Hey, it's a pity to really give up Datong Mansion! ”

Yang Peng nodded, "It's a pity!" But if you really get to that point, there is no need to hold on to Datong Mansion! To do anything, we must not only forge ahead, but also dare to give up when necessary, willing to give up, not reluctant, how can we get it! Yelu Hanyu smiled, and her wonderful eyes drifted to Yang Peng's face, "What the eldest brother said is so right!" Yang Peng saw that her smile was bright and moving, and couldn't help but fly at her and kiss her, Yelutri was stunned, and gave him a white look with infinite shame, Yang Peng smiled.

Yelu Hanyu sorted out his thoughts and said: "Speaking of the Western Xia people, although General Yang and General Gao are both famous generals in the world, the difference in strength between the two sides is too great, and the land of Yinzhou is not convenient to defend, I am really worried that there will be some mistakes there!" Once Yinzhou is lost, the flank of the entire Shanxi will be wide open, if the Western Xia people use a force to contain our army in northern Shaanxi, and cross the Yellow River with the main force to attack Shanxi, the situation will be extremely dangerous, and the worst situation is afraid that most of Shanxi will not be able to be saved! ”

Yang Peng nodded thoughtfully. Yelu Hanyu said: "Now that the 100,000 people's troops mobilized in Shanxi are about to arrive at Yanmen Pass, these troops will not move, but the 100,000 people's troops mobilized in Henan, I think it is possible not to transfer to Yanmen Pass, but to the east bank of the Yellow River to prepare for the worst that may occur?" ”

Yang Peng showed a thoughtful look and did not speak for a while.

Yelu Hanyu said: "In fact, the role of the people's army is defense, and all the 200,000 people's troops are transferred to Yanmen Pass, which actually has little effect!" It is better to divide half of it and put it in a key position, which should be able to play a greater role! ”

Yang Peng nodded, "Considering the worst-case scenario, that is the loss of Yinzhou." As Mei'er said just now, once the Western Xia army captures Yinzhou, with Li Zongdao's ability, nine times out of ten, he will cross the Yellow River east with the main force to copy our back road! Therefore, I agreed with Mei'er's suggestion to transfer the 100,000 people's troops assembled in Henan to Hedong for defense. Although the People's Army is weak, it should be possible to resist for a while, and with this time, we can take countermeasures. But I don't want that to happen! ”

Yelu Hanyu nodded, "This is the worst-case scenario, with the abilities of General Yang and General Gao, it must not come to that point, but we must take precautions just in case!" ”

Yang Peng nodded. After pondering for a moment, he raised his head, "That's it!" Then he took a piece of letter paper and spread it in front of him, picked up a brush and dipped it in ink, and wrote a letter quickly. When he was done, he examined it carefully, blew the ink dry, folded it, put it in an envelope, and shouted loudly; "Someone!"

Wang Kai rushed in again, bowed down and clenched his fists: "The subordinates are here!" Yang Peng handed over the letter, "Immediately send a fast horse to Du Cheng's hands." Wang Kai stepped forward, took the letter with both hands, and retreated.

Yang Peng sat on the chair and pondered for a moment, then put all these things behind for the time being. looked at Yelu Hanyu who was standing aside, and saw Yelu Hanyu looking at him with affection, his heart couldn't help but flutter, and he changed lightly: "Mei'er......" Yelu Hanyu's heart fluttered, and he said with a red face: "What are you doing?" Yang Peng said with a longing face: "I want to talk to you in the back!" ”

Yelu Hanyu's delicate face immediately became redder, and her beautiful eyes revealed a bewitching expression, but then she shook her head vigorously, "Not good! The sisters will come back to us at any time to discuss things, and if they find out, I won't have a face to see anyone in the future! ”

"Mei'er......" Yang Peng's eyes became more gentle. Yelu Hanyu only felt that his brain suddenly became confused, and he couldn't help but nodded, "Okay, okay......" Yang Peng was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately got up, took Yelu Hanyu's slender hand and walked back to the back. ……

Soon after, Yang Erya trotted back to the big tent, and didn't see Yang Peng, so she asked the guards outside the big tent, and the guards told her that her master and Princess Yelu had gone to the private tent behind, and Yang Erya bypassed the big tent and came to a row of tents, which was where Yang Peng and their princesses lived temporarily. Yang Erya walked towards the tent in the middle of Yang Peng. But before I got to the door, I faintly heard a lingering and sympathetic cry

The sound came. Yang Erya couldn't help but stop, she was already a passer-by, she immediately knew what was happening in the tent, her delicate face immediately burned, her heart was pounding, and she only felt that she couldn't advance or retreat. After hesitating, he hurriedly turned around and ran away. ……

In the next few days, the Yanyun army and the Khitan army are racking their brains to find possible passages in the mountains of Yanmen, and the Khitan army in order to prevent Yanyun from being suspicious, they are arrayed outside the city every day to challenge, but they no longer launch a strong attack. I have to mention Yang Jing, that guy, if Yang Peng hadn't been here to control him, he would have rushed out with his pair of plate axes to find someone desperately!

In the evening of that day, the Khitan army collected its troops and returned to the camp as usual. As soon as Yelu Hucheng entered the barracks, Xiao Hong greeted him excitedly, and he didn't care about saluting, and said urgently: "Great King, the last general has heard about a situation, there is a family of hunters living in the deep mountains to the west, and I heard that they used to smuggle goods between the Liao and Song kingdoms through a steep path called Eagle Sorrow Stream. ......" Yelu Tiger City had been waiting for such news, and when he heard it, his eyes lit up, and he said urgently: "Send someone to arrest that hunter!" Xiao Hong hurriedly said: "The last general has already sent five hundred cavalry, and there should be a reply within two days!" Ye Hu Cheng nodded, remembered something, and asked, "Who is the person who told you the news?" "The king of Hui is also a hunter!" Ye Hu Cheng frowned and asked, "Doesn't that family know the location of Eagle Sorrow?" Xiao shook his head, "They don't know. Ye Hu Cheng glanced at Xiao Hong, "Where is that family now?" "It's in the barracks." There was a murderous look in Ye's eyes, "Not only do I hope that this news will leak out, but all those who know about this matter will be executed!" Xiao Hong promised.

Night fell, and the five hundred cavalry sent by Xiao Hong entered the steep and majestic mountains. The mountains here are very high, treacherous and steep, with sparse vegetation and rocky rocks, and the occasional chirping of night owls suddenly emerges and reverberates from mountain to mountain. A cavalryman looked at the tall and steep black shadows around him, and said angrily: "***, are we fooled, how can anyone live here?" ”

Another cavalryman said, "Count those Orions don't have that dog's guts!" They are not stupid, they know that if we can't find it, we will definitely go back to them to settle accounts, and they are not tired of life, how dare they lie! The horseman who had spoken earlier nodded, "That's a good thing!" ”

The cavalry captain turned his head and shouted, "Shut up!" The two horsemen slammed their mouths shut.

"Look, Captain!" A cavalryman suddenly shouted pointing into the distance. Everyone immediately followed the direction of his finger to look, at this time a crescent moon hung in the sky, a faint moonlight sprinkled on the earth, the earth was hazy, everyone only saw a pine forest on the mountainside in the distance, which is very rare in this sparse vegetation mountain, the pine forest faintly revealed the light, one bright and one dark, like a ghost fire.

The captain said excitedly: "It must be there, hurry up!" Then the five hundred cavalry sped toward that direction.

In the pine forest, there is a courtyard built of pine wood, this is a circular courtyard, the front and middle is an empty lawn, the fence is dried with the fur of many fierce beasts, there are colorful tiger skins, there are gray and black heavy bear skins, as for wolf skins or something, there is a stone mill on the left side of the empty lawn, and on the right side there are dustpans, brooms and steel forks and hooks and other hunting utensils; There is a wooden house on the left and right sides of the courtyard, the wooden house on the right is dark and silent, the wooden house on the left is lit by dim lights and some people are whispering, and in the main house in the middle, an old couple is preparing dinner with two daughters-in-law, the old couple are very old, their skin is white, their waists are also hunched, their skin is wrinkled like dead bark, and the two daughters-in-law are not beauties, with thick waists and thick feet, big hands and feet, skin moves, stupid expressions, typical images of village women in that era. There are all kinds of meat on the table, and compared to ordinary people, the life of this family is obviously very good.

When the husband saw that the food was basically on the table, he said to the two daughters-in-law, "Go and call your men." The two daughters-in-law answered respectfully, and then went out of the main house, and stopped outside the lighted wooden house, and the older daughter-in-law shouted: "Boss, my father-in-law has called you to dinner!" The voices of two men in the room came: "Got it! Then the door opened, and two men dressed in animal skins came out, and these two men were of the same age, tall and stout, and had fierce expressions, and at a glance they knew that they were not good stubble.

When the two women saw the man come out, they turned and walked towards the main house, while the two men followed. Two couples of men and women walked into the main house one after another, and bowed to their parents sitting on the top: "Father, mother! ”

The old mother smiled, very loving, and the old father said expressionlessly: "Sit down and eat!" The two sons and two daughters-in-law sat down, and the four young people did not start immediately, but waited for their parents to pick up the chopsticks and taste them before they began to eat.

The old mother suddenly showed a worried look, put down her chopsticks, and said to the old father: "I heard that after the Yanmen Gate, the Khitan army and the Yanyun army fought fiercely!" We are not far from Yanmen Pass, should we avoid it! The old father took a sip of rice wine, put down the wine glass, and said indifferently: "What are you afraid of those?" We are deep in the mountains here, we can't connect to the world or the ground, and if there is a town around, no one will come to us! It's none of our business who becomes the emperor! ”

The eldest smiled and said to his mother: "Mother, don't worry about it, nothing will happen!" The Great Han Kingdom was destroyed by the Great Liao Kingdom before, aren't we still good here? It's none of our business out there! It doesn't matter who becomes the emperor, there are always people who want our precious furs! The second child nodded with deep sympathy with a mouthful of food, swallowed the food vigorously, and said loudly: "Big brother is right!" Mother, don't worry about it! Even if there are people who don't have long eyes to come to us, my eldest brother and I are not vegetarians, jackals, tigers and leopards are not our opponents, let alone a few birdmen! ”

After all, what happened next, and listen to the next breakdown.
