Fang Wen persuaded the Dragon King to negotiate peace with Jinpeng Castle, which was his core strategy in the early days of his struggle for hegemony in the Western Regions.

"Now is the best time, the first victory in the Great Snow Mountain has proved its strength, and with this residual power, I am sure that Jinpeng Castle has to agree to make peace. Fang Wen walked around the tent excitedly, and the fatigue of the past few days was swept away.

"Wait, this is just a sneak attack, and we haven't confronted Jinpeng Castle yet. ”

"This is what we said from the beginning, Dragon King, you won't change your mind temporarily, right?" Fang Wen looked at the Dragon King with suspicion, this master was still too young, lacking the kind of ruthless and far-sighted heroic temperament.

"No, I want to win another battle and make peace easier. ”

Fang Wen shook his head, he was pedantic in small things, but he saw big things clearly, "Dragon King, you should know that the more battles you win, the more difficult it is to negotiate peace, and victory will make the swordsmen of the Great Snow Mountain swelling in confidence, how can you agree to negotiate peace?"

Gu Shenwei was silent, the military advisor said what was on his mind, he had been fighting side by side with the swordsman for the past few months, getting to know these people more and more deeply, their hatred for Jinpeng Castle was no less than that of the Dragon King, and the Jinpeng Killer was adding firewood to this hatred almost every day, so that it had maintained a strong momentum for decades.

It's a horde of wild bison that can destroy everything in its path, and it's almost impossible to turn around unless mountains and rivers stand in the way.

Gu Shenwei was not afraid to talk about panic tricks, but he didn't know how to explain to some warriors, negotiating peace was just a temporary means to expand his strength, and the ultimate goal was still to eradicate Jinpeng Castle, which he could understand, but the swordsman of Daxue Mountain couldn't understand.

"Let me go talk to them. Fang Wen understood the Dragon King's difficulties, and volunteered to persuade the Great Snow Mountain swordsman, the experience in Shule City gave him a lot of confidence, "As long as a few patriarchs nod, the rest of the things will be easy to do." ”

Gu Shenwei still didn't speak, the military advisor knew too little about the Great Snow Mountain, the patriarch was not a king, although his status was high, but he did not have absolute power, the mountain people carried out their orders more out of respect than obedience, even the Dragon King had to rely on the "power of the gods" to make everyone follow him out of the Great Snow Mountain.

"There's no hesitation in this kind of thing. Fang Wen was a little anxious, he had already told the Dragon King some things, and he had to say it again at this time, "The Great Snow Mountain is now sandwiched between Jinpeng Fort and Shule Kingdom, and it is in danger, and if you make a mistake, you will lose everything." Shule Guo is willing to use the way to treat us as murderous knives, and the outcome they most want to see is a defeat for both sides: the elite of the Great Snow Mountain is wiped out, and the power of Jinpeng Fort is in decline and cannot be called the king. We can only survive in the cracks, and fill all the loopholes in front of and behind us as soon as possible. Dragon King, you know all these things. You said that you want to dominate the Western Regions, not take revenge. ”

Gu Shenwei has never hesitated like now, after thinking about it, he doesn't look like a decisive killer at all, he admires this military advisor a little, and feels that he finally didn't find the wrong person, Fang Wen said it in front of King Shule, and he turned around to betray the original agreement, and his heart was open, without the slightest guilt.

"Just a war. Gu Shenwei decided, he couldn't hesitate any longer, and let the military advisor laugh, "Daxue Mountain has to face off with Jinpeng Castle head-on, and then I will persuade everyone." ”

Fang Wen sighed, and could only accept the Dragon King's order, "This battle must be won no matter what, at least it can't be lost, otherwise, no one will take the Great Snow Mountain seriously, and there will be no way to talk about peace." ”

"This battle will be won. "Gu Shenwei is completely sure, he once led two hundred cavalry to attack the military camp of eight hundred swordsmen, and now he has gathered two thousand swordsmen, and he is not afraid of the four or five thousand people on the opposite side.

The scouts found out the news that the Jinpeng Fort army is still dominated by swordsmen, from all directions, many of them have low martial arts, and they are not even qualified to live in Biyu City, and they have been stepping up their training time in the camp these days, so although the other party has a large number, they have not dared to challenge.

The swordsmen who arrived in the later period had already held back their strength, and the glory obtained by the two hundred pioneers made them blush, and after only a day of rest, several patriarchs came to see the dragon king together, and strongly demanded that the war start immediately.

"I can't wait any longer, in one go, it won't take ten days to attack Jinpeng Castle. Even the one-eyed patriarch Long Xiaoshi, who was usually calm, seemed impatient and full of confidence.

Fang Wen was watching from the sidelines, and secretly shook his head in his heart, if this battle was won, the biggest obstacle to peace would not be Jinpeng Castle, but the Great Snow Mountain Swordsman.

Gu Shenwei waited for another three days, so that the swordsmen who came from afar could rest fully, and at the same time arranged strict guards, the best thing in Jinpeng Fort was assassination, and he had to guard against it.

Just when the Great Snow Mountain was ready to go to war, the commander of the Jinpeng Fort side rushed to send a challenge book.

The wording of this letter was full of words, and only Fang Wen could understand it, and he was full of praise, and then he explained to everyone, "When Shen Shi is the next morning, both sides will go out of the camp for thirty miles to form a decisive battle, and knowing how to hunt is the meaning of fighting." ”

The patriarchs suddenly rushed to be the main attacking force, and everyone wanted to take the credit for defeating the main force of Jinpeng Castle into their own hands.

The commander of Jinpeng Fort is surnamed Dugu, his name is Xian, it seems that he is a Hu man, Gu Shenwei has never heard of such a person in the fort, it is rumored that Dugu Xian is a general invited by Shibao from a small country, and he has some ability in the military array.

At this moment, no one in Daxue Mountain, including Gu Shenwei, has paid attention to this opponent, Fang Wen praised this person's literary brilliance, but he didn't regard him as a great general.

The decisive battle site was a flat and narrow meadow, bordering the towering Tianshan Mountains to the north, and a few miles to the south, a large river known as the Peacock River flowed through it, and on the opposite bank, the grassland gradually transitioned into a barren Gobi.

How to fight this battle, Gu Shenwei listened to the opinions of many people, and finally decided to follow his own ideas, the swordsman of Daxue Mountain does not understand the art of war, Fang Wen has a lot of formations in his heart, all of them are learned from ancient books, one is more complicated than the other, not to mention the simple swordsman, even Gu Shenwei is dizzy when he listens to it.

He arranged it like this: the left wing, that is, close to the high mountain, lined up the swordsmen of the Great Sword Peak and the Little Sword Peak, a total of about 600 people, the right wing, close to the side of the big river, guarded by Danduofeng, also more than 600 people, and more than 400 people from Huagai Peak were sandwiched in the middle, a total of 1,600 people were all cavalry, each of whom was equipped with a round shield that could protect the upper body, because it was likely that there were a large number of archers on the side of Jinpeng Castle.

Gu Shenwei wanted to participate in the battle in person, which was originally the obligation of the leader of the Great Snow Mountain, but under Fang Wenye's strong recommendation, he stayed on a small hill less than half a mile behind.

"This is a confrontation between the two armies, not a gang vendetta. Fang Wen persuaded the Dragon King bitterly, "The commander has to control the overall situation, and there are sufficient reserves on hand, even if you rush forward by yourself, you will not guarantee the victory of the entire army."

Standing behind the mountain soldiers on horseback, he could see the entire battlefield situation clearly, but Gu Shenwei only left more than 100 people from Luoshen Peak to act as guards to protect the commander's banner, and Gu Shenwei's blood-stained black robe became a holy relic in the eyes of the swordsmen, but it was replaced with a thicker and longer flagpole.

There are more than 300 swordsmen left behind in the barracks, and no one is willing to take on this kind of cowardly task, so it can only be decided by drawing lots.

The swordsmen of the Great Snow Mountain follow the tradition, the children of the Long clan and the bravest warriors are on the front line, and behind them are the swordsmen of other surnames, there is no clear front, and everyone decides for themselves how much space they need.

The army on the opposite side looked much more regular.

Gu Shenwei looked at it from a distance, the number of people in Jinpeng Fort was more than that of Daxue Mountain, about four thousand people, the formation was extremely neat, the first two rows were archers, the back five rows were infantry armed with spears, and only a group of lightly armed cavalry was arranged on the left flank by the river, but the number was not much, about six or seven hundred, and hundreds of flags of different shapes and colors fluttered in the wind.

Commanding a war is completely different from being a killer, Gu Shenwei believes that Daxueshan will definitely win, but he is not very comfortable in his heart, he wants to be on the front line, although it is necessary to watch, but it makes him feel that things are not under control, and it is not in line with his habits to fight hard, in contrast, he prefers the style of play of raiding and pursuit.

Fang Wen said to him that the art of war is strange and positive, and the dragon king's set belongs to "strange", which cannot be used all the time, and it is still "positive" that determines the fundamental victory or defeat.

Gu Shenwei thought that the military advisor was right.

The swordsmen were already a little anxious, shouting loudly to demonstrate to the army opposite, the heavy swords slapped on the shields, and the other party also beat gongs and drums, making a noise.

Jinpeng Fort put on a defensive formation, waiting for the Great Snow Mountain to attack.

"Want to bet?" Gu Shenwei asked the military advisor beside him, "I dare to guarantee that a single charge will be able to disrupt the Jinpeng Castle's position." ”

Fang Wen stretched his neck and looked at it from afar, "Not necessarily, I see that Dugu Xian's arrangement of troops is a bit of a doorway, and it can't be compared with those ancient and modern famous generals, but it is decent, and it is not easy to break through at one time." I'll bet with you...... One hundred taels. That's all I have, I'm the cheapest counselor in the world, and you're the master of the most slashing doors. ”

If he hadn't forgotten how to smile a long time ago, Gu Shenwei would have laughed out loud at this time, "If you lose, Dugu Xian may arrange troops, but he doesn't know these swordsmen, and the run-in time is not long." Swordsmen don't fight hard, shoot two rounds of arrows and they will turn and run away. ”

The time was almost up, and the roars of the swordsmen of the Great Snow Mountain were getting higher and higher, Gu Shenwei picked up the horn on his chest, took a deep breath, and blew hard.

The low and distant sound of the horn was like a gentle and powerful wind, like the breath of the gods, blowing over the heads of the people, more than 1,600 cavalry galloped on horseback, trampled on innocent land, rushed to the enemy formation, more than 1,600 round shields protected the vital points of the master, and more than 1,600 heavy swords shook in the hands of the master, like the open mouth of a giant beast, biting at the fragile prey.

On the first day of the ninth month of the year of Jiyou, at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, by the Peacock River, the first head-on battle between the Great Snow Mountain and Jinpeng Castle began, and the peace of the Western Regions for 37 years was broken on this day, but few people thought at that time that this small-scale battle would have such a big impact.
