A few days later...

The rain in Chang'an tossed north.

Fangcun Mountains, under the North Corner.

The rain was so strong that it seemed to want to collapse the sky.

Looking at it, the electric silver snake flies in the sky, the wind is like a wild knife with the sky and water to cut down the earth, the radius is dozens of miles vast and gloomy, the grass is soaked by the rain into a pool of water and flutters, constantly splashing pale flowers.

The rain here is also drifting, no worse than Chang'an.

There was a faint sound of horses' hooves whistling in the confusion, and it was impossible to see anything outside a hundred and ten feet away. Only through the vast rain curtain can I vaguely see a low mountain forest, and there are many figures in the mountain forest, who are running back and forth in the heavy rain. On the slightly higher hillside, a shadow holding an umbrella kept commanding and shouting.

These are 2,000 people from Qulong...

Two days ago, Xia Xun, who had been silent for a long time, unabashedly announced the policy of Armageddon to the public in the sea of rape flowers in a hundred miles. Then Tang Chuan waved his arms, and the tiger Qu Longshan officially pulled out the camp, and the troops were divided into two routes.

In North Point, Yu Chunyang!

Go through the West Pavilion and cut down the royal family!

In the mountains and fields, the forces of all parties were in an uproar when they heard the news.

The long-awaited battle of the dragon is finally about to kick off at this belated moment.

Five thousand men and horses marched east to Meilin, and Lei Meng, Xiahou, Hu Xi and others were the vanguard in a hurry, leading two thousand main forces straight to Banxuegang. Qian Ming and Cai Yuanqing led 1,000 people from the upper and lower auxiliary armies, and rushed to Heihe in the east and Changsong Forest in the south from the southeast sides respectively. The three swords were fired together, moving with the wind and thunder, and the tiger crossed the border.

North Point, in the mountains and forests, under the canopy...

"Xia Xun should go to Xiting at this time. ”

"Well, it's time to arrive. Two hours ago, they had passed through the corridor, and now they were supposed to set up camp. ”

"The arrow is already on the string, so we have to hurry up. If there is no accident, Yu Youran will definitely take the opportunity to steal the camp. ”

"That's what I'm expecting, three days at most. ”

The cold frost and rain are drenched in rouge, and the plain wind blows greasy powder.

Tang Xiaotang was dressed in the tattered brocade clothes of the Tang Sect as usual, but she took off her past charm and looked even more heroic. In the evening two days ago, she and Tang Chuan, Dushao and others led two thousand brothers Qu Long to rush three thousand miles on horseback. At that time, the rain was already majestic, and the bean-sized rain made people unable to open their eyes. It is especially difficult to set up camp in such a harsh environment, as the mud can be washed away by pouring rain before the foundation is fully excavated. So much so that the two-day rush was only for them to barely build part of the wall, and they didn't even have time to build the thatched house.

Seeing that the heavy rain had no end, and the village was half the effort, Tang Xiaotang couldn't help but be a little anxious, and the only young man who followed her also seemed quite entangled. After all, the enemy they are about to face, but even Xia Xun has to admit it. If they can't prevent the enemy from happening and arrange the defensive measures in time, they will be very passive once the enemy attacks.

It's just that when he came, Xia Xun had repeatedly told him that he must be careful and not be in a hurry, and now that the rain is pouring down, the construction matter is not in a hurry at all.

"I have ordered people to speed up the construction of guardrails and canopies, but we are located on the slopes of the mountain, the rain is pouring down, the landslides are pouring, and the foundation is really not easy to beat." ”

"If it's not easy to fight, you have to fight, this is the task. ”

Tang Xiaotang's phoenix eyes swept around, and then said, "Since Xia Xun has set up camp in Xiting, they will launch an offensive against the royal family tomorrow at the latest. If we can't build the protective wall before tomorrow, Yu Youran can easily break through our defense line and form a flank attack with Bai Lingyun. None of us can afford to do this. ”

The words are sonorous and quite general-like.

Dushao looked even more embarrassed, frowned and said bitterly: "I know that the consequences are unimaginable, but now the heavy rain is non-stop, and we are powerless to rush to complete the progress." The time is not in me, this is not human. ”

It is an indisputable fact that I am talking about it.

Even if Tang Xiaotang was ruthless, he couldn't make a strong refutation.

But the enemy is current, and this enemy is so tricky, Tang Xiaotang never dares to sit still.

After thinking about it for a long time, Tang Xiaotang suddenly turned his eyes to look at the two monks in the canopy and asked, "Sun Wukong, what is the situation of the Pure Yang Camp now?"

Looking inward, in the canopy.

The fat monk lay on the mat and fell asleep, too lazy to be like a fat pig, and he knew by his dry clothes that he must not have worked. The little monk Zemu sat cross-legged on the ground in a daze, his eyes exuding a faint golden light, and he looked at the depths of the rain curtain in the distance.

The little monk Mu was stunned and said: "The people who came are still in front of the camp, and the Yu Shi has not woken up yet, but there seems to be something abnormal in his body. The rest is business as usual. ”

"What's wrong with Yu Youran?"

"I seem to have a fever. ”

"Is the fever serious?"

"It shouldn't be serious, it's just weird. ”

Tang Xiaotang asked suspiciously: "What's strange?"

The little monk paused, as if thinking, and replied: "His fever is different from ordinary people, it is cold. ”

"Oh. ”

Yu Youran was a special existence, and the little monk didn't think it was strange to answer Tang Xiaotang like this, so he ignored this matter and then asked, "Did anyone come here to make any additional reports?"

"No, they've been waiting outside all the time, and they're not in a hurry. ”

Tang Xiaotang once again showed a worried look: "What do Liu Xiancheng and Ye Guhan want to do at this time. ”

The little monk stopped talking and continued to sit in a wooden position.

Du Shao quietly took out a delicate small abacus from his sleeve, and the four fingers turned into butterfly shadows and flew over, and the crisp sound of ironwood collision sounded softly, which was particularly clear in the unchanged sound of falling rain. It's like swimming in the lake on a painting boat in your spare time, and you can sing poems on the piano while playing the pipa with the singer playing quickly, which is very light.

After thinking about it for a while, Dushao seemed to have gained, so he didn't confidently take over the words...

muttered: "The sword and the Tibetan sword have always been at odds, and this time because the royal family is forced to walk through the aisle in the east examination room, the formation will not be solid." The two have little contact with Chunyang, and they have never heard of an intersection among the younger generations. Chunyang went north, and the sword and the Tibetan sword escaped from the east examination room at the same time to visit Chunyang, which was quite abrupt. According to my calculations, it is unlikely that they will fight with Pure Yang, only one percent. And with the current status of the sword and the Tibetan sword, the possibility of taking refuge is even smaller, only half of it. Excluding other unknowns, it is likely that they had asked for something to do with each other. ”

“......”

With little to say, Tang Xiaotang remained silent.

She was thinking about the key information in the few words.

Zhongzhou looks at the frost and wind in the north, and the scattered cold stars are about to dawn.

Leaning on the drunken knife to break the water, the straight and long rainbow runs through the trunk.

The sword and the Tibetan sword are all wealthy families in the rivers and lakes, and they have been famous for thousands of years, and even the overlords of the Tang Sect and Chunyang dare not despise them. And the three swords and one sword in the eighteen saints in the world, excluding the two peerless swords of Lu Fengxian and Li Xuanji, are Liu Canglan who dominates the sword and Ye Wujian who hides the sword. The inheritance of immortals, gathering in the heavenly test, the wind and thunder. After the eight bells rang, the trip to the heavenly trial was nearing the end stage, the original criss-crossing forces have been clear, all parties are sharpening their knives, Huo Huo can break out at any time, and any wind and grass may change the current pattern. However, the disciples of the sword and the Tibetan sword temporarily formed an alliance to worship the camp of Pure Yang during this sensitive period, and their intentions were really disturbing.

"Senior brother. ”

"Huh?"

After thinking about it for a long time, Tang Xiaotang finally made a choice.

She beckoned to Tang Chuan, who was directing the construction of the tent in the rain not far away, and shouted, "Come here, I have something to discuss with you." ”

"Okay, here we are. Tang Chuanhu was suspicious but didn't think much about it, and hurriedly trotted to Tang Xiaotang.

"What's the matter with Xiao Tang, hurry up and say, this shed is not easy to build. ”

"Let's put down the tenting thing first. ”

Tang Chuan took the hat, slapped the rain vigorously, and asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?"

Tang Xiaotang said calmly: "You help me gather all the senior brothers, I plan to arrange a few miles of heaven and earth net array at the bottom of the mountain..."

"No!"

Before Tang Xiaotang finished speaking, Du Shao's face suddenly twitched, as if he was listening to something terrifying, and he raised his hand and said: "The city defense in the mountains has not yet been completed, at this time, we must not rashly fall down the mountain and set traps, otherwise Yu Youran suddenly attacked, and we will be caught off guard!"

Tang Chuan also agreed with Dushao's statement, nodded and pandered: "Yes, Xiaotang, everything must be done step by step, and everything can be safe." Although we are tired of building a village in the mountains, even if Yu Youran suddenly attacks with surprise soldiers, we can resist with the mountains and forests. But once we lose our geographical advantage, I am afraid that we will be completely disadvantaged. ”

Tang Xiaotang glanced at the two of them with a heavy face, and then shook his head cautiously.

Explained: "I know what you are worried about. But in extraordinary times, extraordinary means should be used. The rain is pouring down at the moment, and this is not the time to build a camp, and if we delay it, we will miss the best time to defend. Now Yu Youran is bedridden, and Liu Xiancheng and Ye Guhan rashly visited, which can buy us a lot of time. Instead of braving the heavy rain to build a village needlessly, it is more appropriate to take the opportunity to lay a net before the battle. Besides, Sun Wukong has fiery eyes and can see through the rain and fog, which can help us monitor Chunyang's movements, and it will not be too late for us to retreat when she sends troops. ”

"I disagree. ”

Du Shao's face was solemn, and he decisively rejected Tang Xiaotang's suggestion.

Raising his hand and pointing to the front of the mountain, he said sharply: "This is less than fifty miles away from the Chunyang camp, if Chunyang suddenly sends troops to march in a hurry, it will only take a moment to meet us with a short army." Moreover, the rain was so heavy that we couldn't climb high and look far, so we lost the unique long-range advantage of Tangmen. At that time, we will surely lose. ”

was refuted repeatedly by Du Shao, Tang Xiaotang's face was slightly displeased.

She had always been a proud person, and like all schemers, she was confident in her schemes. She thinks that the Pure Yang Camp is different, this is a God-given opportunity, and she should take advantage of this opportunity to use her most powerful means, even if she temporarily abandons the Tang Sect's greatest long-range advantage.

As everyone knows, it's a competitive spirit...

"You're trying to go against me, aren't you?"

"I'm just being realistic. ”

"Don't you see the moment right now?"

"But timing often hides a crisis. ”

"Then you're just thinking too much..."

Staring at Du Shao, Tang Xiaotang said sharply: "In terms of combat power, we are not afraid of pure yang at all. If Yu Youran dares to send troops to attack, Sun Wukong can fight Moyan, my senior brother can fight Daosheng, Tang Fu, Zhu Bajie, and Fang Qingqiu can fight Dao Rong, Dao Jing, and Dao Han. ”

"The Pure Yang Sword Formation is attacking Wushuang, you may be able to resist?"

"If I had a net, I would have condemned them to the bottom of the mountain!"

"What if they attack before you can complete your formation?"

"I have Sun Wukong to anticipate the enemy first, and I have already fled when she sends troops. ”

Tang Xiaotang's tone was extremely firm, and Dushao began to feel that something was wrong. What she said made sense, but it was only true. However, where can Chunyang's crazy woman be measured by reason?

Dushao didn't want to have more disputes with Tang Xiaotang, so he made a sharp conclusion: "Even if what you say is reasonable, I still don't agree with your approach. Before the army set off, Xia Xun repeatedly told him not to act recklessly, and the most urgent thing at hand was to build a fortress and build defenses. I am the Overseer, and I will not allow you to scatter your forces elsewhere. ”

"Stubborn. ”

"This is the surest method of warfare. ”

"Resting on one's laurels is unattainable. Tang Xiaotang was completely dismissive of Du Shao's determination.

"The generals will not be subject to military orders abroad, and the fighter plane must not be missed, Xia Xun will definitely agree to my strategy if he is here. You are the Overseer, but my brother is the Commander-in-Chief, and we should know what to do. ”

"You..."

After that, Tang Xiaotang didn't give Du Shao a chance to argue, picked up the coat with a black face, put it on his body and put on the hat, and dragged Tang Chuan out of the canopy. Tang Chuan didn't agree with Tang Xiaotang's approach, but he didn't dare to disobey because of his face, so he could only helplessly cast an apologetic look, and left with Tang Xiaotang's tail half-pushed and half-on-the-spot.

Dushao was very depressed, Xia Xun ordered him to be the overseer just to help suppress Tang Xiaotang's competitive temperament, but when the soldiers came to the city, Dushao suddenly found that Xia Xun's appointment was really embarrassing to him. Tang Xiaotang's temperament, the whole Qu Long dared to compete with her, where would this elegant person be her opponent?

No, Tang Xiaotang wants to go out of the mountain to set up a formation, and Dushao's suggestion is simply a fart.

"What should I do?" asked Fang Qingqiu, who was sitting silently in the canopy, fanning the iron fan.

Dushao looked deeply at Tang Xiaotang and walked away, turned around helplessly and smiled bitterly: "It's not easy to do." ”

"Write a letter and send it to Xiting, after all, no one can do this. Fang Qingqiu suggested.

Du Shao smiled bitterly: "The letter must be written, but Xia Xun may not be able to persuade this chick." ”

"Huh. ”

Fang Qingqiu laughed and stopped answering.

Obviously, Fang Qingqiu also thought so. With Xia Xun being soft-hearted towards women, and even making a mess of his housework, how could he be expected to dissuade Tang Xiaotang After thinking for a moment, Dushao stepped into the canopy and sat down on the wooden stake beside the little monk.

"Little master, I hope you will pay more attention to the movements of Pure Yang. ”

"Amitabha, the little monk should be duty-bound. ”

Du Shao glanced at the fat monk who was sleeping like a dead pig on his side, and his helplessness was even worse.

"May the Buddha bless us. ”

"Amitabha, donor, you really think too much. ”

"How do you think too much?"

"Buddhism is all about chance. ”

“......”
