When there were still about two miles away from Hengyuan Town, the soldiers of the front team came to report to Yu Zhu, saying that they had seen the river beach where the Mongolian rangers were stationed in front of Hengyuan Village from a distance. Yu Zhu ordered the whole team to hide in a nearby grove, and ordered Cao Ergou to take the two to spy on the Mongolian rangers, and asked Huang Dagen to get the salt hidden in the cave behind Hengyuan Village. After a short time, Cao Ergou reported that there were eight Tartar soldiers and twenty-six war horses in the river beach. The Mongolian army is divided into 10, 100, 1,000 and 10,000 people, which are squads, 100 people, 1,000 people, and 10,000 people, and the leading officers are called 10 commanders, centurions, 1000 commanders, and 10,000 commanders. In the Mongolian ranger long-distance detectives, it is generally more than three horses or even as many as six horses per person, this Mongolian ranger team was ambushed by Ouyang Xuan and them the night before, killing two people and four horses, and now it seems that the rest of the people and horses are here. Cao Ergou also mentioned that the Tartar soldiers had not unarmoured their horses and unsaddled, and they seemed to be waiting for something. After a while, Huang Dagen also came back with salt on his back, and yesterday Li Shuang and Du Fu father and son only used ten catties when they exchanged grain, and now there are forty catties left.

Opinions differ on how to deal with the current situation. Some people proposed to sneak into the village at night, others said that they were flanking the Mongolian rangers before and after the people of the Hengyuan village, and there were also those who proposed to stay in place and carry out a night attack at night. Ouyang Xuan already had a plan in his heart and wanted to speak, but when he saw that everyone was arguing, he swallowed back his thoughts, after all, this was related to the life of the whole team, and he really didn't have the courage to say the plan that he was not sure of. Yu Zhu saw that Ouyang Xuan was silent, so he asked him what he thought. Ouyang Xuan saw that everyone was looking at him, and although he kept beating the drum in his heart, he still said the plan.

"It's still 3 hours before dark, oh, it's about 1 and a half hours, and we will go directly around the Yokohara village and enter the mountain, and when we reach the mountain pass, we will lead the Tartar soldiers to chase them and provoke them."

"The Tartars were attacked by us at night the day before yesterday, and now they must be prepared for a night attack. And even if we join forces with Hengyuan Village to fight in the field outside the village, the Tartar soldiers can fight and retreat with the advantage of bows and horses, which will only increase the casualties of the others. Ouyang Xuan saw that everyone was puzzled and continued.

"Why don't you enter the village at night, and defend the village, and the Tartar soldiers can't help me!" Someone asked.

"We will not rest in our savage nature when we have killed the Tartars. The Tartar soldiers could not capture the city of Yongkang, which was tightly defended, but the Hengyuan Village, which was weak against the wall, would definitely be able to go down in one blow, and I estimate that the Tartar soldiers were stationed on the river beach and waiting for reinforcements to arrive." Ouyang Xuan continued. Everyone listened to Ouyang Xuan's words, everyone was silent, according to the ferocious nature of the Mongolian soldiers, after the wall was broken, it would inevitably be a slaughter.

"I'm waiting to enter the mountain, and the mountain bandits are coming, how can I resist it?" Someone else asked.

"We waited first to reach the mountain pass, and then made a noise and set a fire, leaving behind horse skins and a pound or two of pickled horse meat. The Tartar soldiers will come to chase after us, and the people of Hengyuan Village will be able to take the opportunity to escape and hide," Ouyang Xuan said firmly. The Mongol soldiers cherished horses very much, not only as their most important possession, but even as friends and comrades-in-arms. When he saw his war horse being eaten into flesh, he would be furious.

"The mountain road is narrow and rugged, and it is difficult to gallop, and the Tartar soldiers and their horses must slow down, and if they cannot catch up with us, they will inevitably fall behind us."

"As for the bandits, don't worry too much. We waited for a light trip, and we only brought three or two days of food and water, no valuable property, and I also carried swords, shields, spears, and weapons, and the mountain bandits did not want to come to rob the officers and soldiers who had no oil and water and pierced hands! Besides, the Tartar soldiers are still chasing not far behind us, and the mountain bandits must not want to come to this troubled water," Ouyang Xuan said with a smile.

In fact, there was another reason in Ouyang Xuan's heart that he couldn't say, that is, the Mongolian army was about to attack Sichuan in a big way. When Li Shuang told him that it was the seventh year of Chunyou, that is, 1257 A.D., he didn't care, thinking that this was just an ordinary year in the more than 40 years of Mongolian disaster in Sichuan, but in his spare time, the history of the Southern Song Dynasty that he had learned before gradually became clear in his mind, and he was horrified to find that in 1257, Sichuan would usher in another wave of large-scale invasion and slaughter by Mongol soldiers. When he first confirmed that he had traveled through time and space, he was depressed, frustrated, unwilling, and always had luck. The experience of the past few days has made him sober up and understand that he must cheer up in order to survive in this troubled world. If the history books are not mistaken, in July of this year, the army of the Mongolian army general Niu Lu attacked Sichuan; In October, Wanhu Liu Heima and Jiagu Longgu led the Mongol Han army to raid Chengdu; In the following 1258, Meng Ge personally conquered Sichuan, and died in 1259 under the Diaoyu City of Hechuan. In this war of the Mongol invasion of Sichuan, all the places in western Sichuan, including Chongqing, will fall into the hands of the Mongols, and the soldiers and civilians will either surrender to Mongolia or be slaughtered. It's just that Ouyang Xuan is now a light person, and if he tells the historical knowledge that everyone is willing to believe? And is this last year of the Southern Song Dynasty the same as the original history? Perhaps the time and space disturbances caused by his travel have changed the course of history. Therefore, he either does not say anything about the direction of history, or he can only cover it up with other words. But he knew in his heart that he could no longer stay in the plains, and that he had to convince the people to go to the mountains and find a shelter.

In his memory, Longmen Mountain, located in the northwest of the Chengdu Plain, was the best hiding place. Take the mountainous area in the northwest of Yongkang County as an example, there are Wenjing River, Ganwuli River, and Weijiang River originating here and forming three river valleys, and a number of small ravines are branched out in each valley. Among these three river valleys, the valley formed by the Wenjing River and its dozens of tributaries is the deepest and the largest. The Jiguan Mountain District is connected to Hengyuan Town in the south, and reaches the border of the Fan District in the north, with nearly 100 miles long from north to south and about 30 miles wide from east to west. There are minerals such as coal, iron sulfur, limestone, saltpeter, etc., as well as a large number of forests and exploitable water resources, as well as a large amount of hillside land that can be reclaimed. At the end of the 20th century, there were a large number of coal mines, iron mines, steel works, cement plants, hydropower stations, sulfuric acid plants and saltpeter factories, forming two populous townships. Ouyang Xuan believes that as long as the rich resources in the mountains are utilized with modern scientific and technological knowledge, they will definitely become a paradise in this troubled world. More importantly, the terrain here is easy to defend and difficult to attack, there is only a five-foot gravel mountain road in and out of the Jiguan Mountain, one side of the mountain road is a tall mountain, the other side is the surging Wenjing River, only a few dangerous places to build forts and hold, the enemy is difficult to attack. Because of the easy terrain, there was also a prison for heavy prisoners until the 90s of the 20th century. Of course, there are also mountain paths leading to nearby Dayi County and Qingcheng County in Qiongzhou, as well as Weizhou and Maozhou in Fan District, but the roads are extremely steep, and only a few hunters and herb pickers can pass through, and they cannot pass through the army.

Ouyang Xuan's words were well-founded and well-planned, and everyone was convinced and agreed. After the discussion, Yu Zhu arranged for his subordinates to follow the plan, and sent people to infiltrate Hengyuan Village to inform the situation, and informed Du Fu and his son to organize the people to hide after the Mongols chased them into the mountain. At that moment, Yu Zhu led the whole team to sneak around the mountain pass, lit a fire and made a loud noise according to the plan, attracting the Mongols to take a look, and immediately left the horse skin and horse meat, and walked along the mountain road back to the Wenjing River. After about two or three miles of walking, Cao Ergou sent someone to report that the Tartars chased them to the mountain pass, but only seven Tartars each led a horse to chase into the mountain, and the rest of the horses were led by a horse to turn back, probably going back to meet the reinforcements.
