Two days later.

Late at night, looking at the North Mountain.

There was no snow tonight, taking advantage of the good weather, the five thousand Zhengyang troops quietly left Xugong Town, and entered Wangbei Mountain under the leadership of the guide.

Each soldier had only three days' rations and weapons on them, and no horses.

Chen Chao looked up and saw on both sides the towering snow-capped peaks, the lonely moonlight that sprinkled down, and the procession winding through the mountains.

Because they didn't want to be discovered by Rong Di, the team did not light the torches, and could only move slowly with the help of the faint moonlight.

Soon after entering the mountain, under the guidance of the guide, Chen Chao saw the dangerous road that had long been abandoned.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is dangerous, the dangerous road hangs between the cliffs, composed of raised stones on the cliffs, people can only move sideways slowly, and some sections of the road have to be swept by ropes, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will fall to pieces.

Now, there is only one last dangerous road left, and everyone stops to rest for a while, check the equipment on their bodies, and strive to reach Beishui Pass before dawn.

Chen Chao stretched out his hand and patted the snow on his shoulder, tightened the robe and armor on his body, took a breath and turned around, looking at Meng Changge, whose face was also solemn: "You say, what am I trying to do so hard?" Knowing this, I should have destroyed Meng Leopard with one shot when I met today, and then sent someone back to Xianyang to collapse Meng Hu and get the solution to the Dragon Blood Gu from King Qin, instead of coming here in the middle of the night to take risks. ”

Meng Changge was wearing soft armor, tied cuffs, and raised a high ponytail, heroic.

Hearing Chen Chao's complaint, she subconsciously shrugged her shoulders and pouted, "How do I know what you want?" ”

Hearing this, Chen Chao's eyes showed a little annoyance, he took a step forward, put his face against Meng Changge's face, and said in a low voice: "You really don't know what I want?" ”

Meng Changge panicked, looked at Chen Chao's ill-intentioned eyes, and hurriedly pushed him away, there were so many people around him watching.

Chen Chao did not give up and approached again.

This time, Meng Changge didn't push him away again, Chen Chao stared at Meng Changge's beautiful eyes and said:

"I've worked hard to make a name for your family, and after this battle, I want you to go back to the capital of Daji with me to get married and be my sixth lady!"

Meng Changge blinked, stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Chen Chao to be so direct.

Seeing that the soldiers around him were all looking down to check their equipment, and they didn't notice the two of them, Meng Changge was bold and responded:

"Why did I want to go back with you? You yourself said before, in the future, the Qin State will be a world of great contention, and I will expand the territory for my family, fight the city, and I have no time to go back with you. ”

Chen Chao stretched out his finger, nodded at Meng Changge's smooth head with some anger, and said very seriously: "Listen, are you talking about what people say?" Open up the territory, fight the city, you can fight at any time, get married sooner rather than later, go back to me first and get married. ”

Meng Changge stretched out his hand and rubbed his forehead, his momentum weakened: "You haven't proposed marriage yet, and you haven't issued a letter of appointment, and my father hasn't agreed yet." ”

"Who said that your father didn't agree, before you came to Xianyang, your father had already entrusted you to me."

In fact, Meng Wu entrusted the two sisters to the Chen Dynasty.

But Chen Chao didn't dare to say it directly.

Meng Changge stared at Chen Chao for a few moments, paced back and forth in front of him, pursed his lips and thought about it again, and finally said, "Okay then...... Accomplished. ”

Only then did Chen Chao give up.

At this time, the soldiers in front had already stepped on the dangerous road on the cliff, Chen Chao looked at Meng Changge, "Let's go, be careful for a while, follow me." ”

Meng Changge's heart warmed, "Okay, you should be careful." ”

The steep mountain road, which can only be passed sideways by one person, makes everyone who walks on it frightened, the mountain road is steep and slippery, and the vision is dark, which is very difficult to walk.

"Don't worry, take it one step at a time, don't look down." The guide who leads the way leads the way in front and gives advice.

After walking for a while, the wind around suddenly became louder, the temperature plummeted, and the frozen people swayed.

As the mountain road became steeper and steeper, the sound of everyone's breathing became more and more rapid.

"Ah......h

Suddenly, a scream sounded, and everyone's hearts sank suddenly, and the worst result happened.

Someone stumbled and fell off a cliff -

After a few breaths, I remembered the sound of the landing, and I didn't have to think about it, the soldier's body must have fallen into a puddle of mud.

"Whew-"

Chen Chaochang exhaled a long breath and suppressed the throbbing in his heart.

But only a moment later, another scream sounded, which undoubtedly increased the burden on everyone's hearts.

"Don't be in a hurry...... Be careful, keep your head up and don't look down......"

"Don't stop, keep going!"

……

……

Before dawn.

Everyone hurried and finally walked through the dangerous road, and after coming down, one by one, their clothes were already wet with cold sweat, and they sat on the ground, gasping for breath.

"Xiangye, I fell thirty-seven ......" someone came to report, and his tone was heavy

Chen Chao didn't speak, just nodded silently.

After a long time, Chen Chao stood up and beckoned to Hou Ji: "Hou Ji, take a few people with me to explore the neighborhood." ”

Hou Ji took the order, chose a few fast legs, followed behind Chen Chao, and slowly touched the mountain.

Still halfway up the mountainside, the Chen Dynasty saw a city standing in the narrow passage of the two mountains from a distance.

Above the city, the banner has been hung as Rong Di's.

Taking the telescope from Hou Ji's hand, Chen Chao began to observe the situation in Beishuiguan.

Looking down from their angle, they can just get a full view of Beishuiguan.

After observing for a while, Chen Chao laughed, Hou Ji was puzzled, and Chen Chao threw the telescope to him to see for himself.

After a while, Hou Ji also smiled.

Others scrambled for binoculars to observe the situation inside the Beishui Pass at the foot of the mountain.

"Xiangye, God really helps us, there are not many Rongdi defenders in this city, at most three or four thousand, and all the reserves in the pass are grain and grass." Hou Ji grinned and said happily.

At present, the Chen Dynasty has 5,000 people available, and more people will arrive through the dangerous road in the Wangbei Mountains in the future, and it is more than enough to eat the three or four thousand Rongdi defenders in the Beishui Pass.

"Xiangye, why is Beishui Pass so guarded? Could it be a trap waiting for us to jump on? Someone scratched his head and wondered.

Chen Chao explained: "This Beishui Pass was occupied by Rong Di more than a month ago, it is an enemy-occupied area, in Rong Di's eyes, this Beishui Pass is a safe rear, if you are Rong Di, you will have a large number of troops here?" ”

The man shook his head, certainly not.

Rong Di's purpose in attacking Qin this time was to plunder property, population and territory.

This Beishui Pass was originally the dividing line between the territory of Qin and Rong Di, and the Rong Di army captured it early in the morning, as a place to reserve grain and grass, and the Rong Di army was attacking the city and plundering the land in the territory of the Qin State, and it was impossible to put too many troops here in the North Water Pass.

Rao is now, Rong Di's army has been repelled step by step by the Qin army.

But Rong Di still refused to completely withdraw from the Qin realm, so he stationed 150,000 troops outside Xugong Town to confront the Qin army, just wanting the land between Xugong Town and Beishui Pass.

"Xiangye, there are people who have entered the city." One person suddenly said: "It's the convoy that sent the grain back." ”

When Chen Chao heard this, he squinted and looked at it, and a bold plan instantly took shape in his mind.
