There was silence for a while, knowing that Gao Ming and Gao Jue felt that they were about to be overwhelmed by the momentum on Yuan Hong's body, and only then did they hear Yuan Hong speak: "Second brother, give the order to go down, lead the troops down the mountain, and block the way of the Xiqi soldiers and horses." ”

Hearing this, Chang Hao, who was eating wine on the side, knew that his boss was really angry, and he didn't dare to slack off at the moment, so he hurriedly responded: "Yes, boss." ”

Seeing that Chang Hao was busy counting the soldiers and horses, Yuan Hong said: "The third, the fourth, the fifth, the sixth, the seventh, you all go to help the second, don't be idle!"

Seeing this, Zhu Zizhen, Yang Xian, Dai Li, Jin Dasheng, and Wu Long, who had never seen Yuan Hong show such a serious expression, hurriedly responded, stopped eating and drinking, and went to help Chang Hao count the soldiers and horses.

In the afternoon of the same day, Yuan Hong led the soldiers and horses of Taoshan, together with the two brothers Gao Ming and Gao Jue, down the mountain, and set up camp on the road from Xiqi to Jiamengguan.

Because of the presence of the two brothers Gao Ming and Gao Jue, Yuan Hong can be said to know the whereabouts of Xiqi's soldiers and horses all the way, so after setting up camp, Yuan Hong was not in a hurry, and quietly waited for the arrival of Xiqi's army. On the side of Jiameng Pass, Hu Sheng, the guard of Jiameng Pass, received Han Rong's information early and learned that Xiqi would probably divide a partial division to attack Jiameng Pass, so he was on strict guard and sent many scouts every day to find out the news. Who knows, before the news of the Xiqi army was found, Hu Sheng received a report from his subordinates that a group of soldiers and horses had set up camp on the main road, and the intention was unknown.

After getting this information, Hu Sheng was stunned for a long time.

What does that mean?

If this army is here to help him, but he has not received any news that anyone will come to support him before? Moreover, this army has no intention of advancing towards Jiameng Pass, and the battalion is also set up in the direction of Xiqi. The most important thing is that this army did not send people to contact them. However, if this army is here to help Xiqi, it is not like it.

After hesitating, Hu Sheng was ready to send someone to investigate the situation.

After several discussions, in order to show his sincerity, Hu Sheng finally decided to send his younger brother Hu Lei.

Hu Lei received Hu Sheng's order, and he didn't hesitate at the moment, so he left Jiameng Pass on the same day and rode a horse to Yuan Hong's camp.

In the camp, Yuan Hong heard that the soldiers came to report that Hu Lei, the brother of the Jiameng guard, had come to visit, and after thinking about it again, considering Gao Ming Gao Jue's purpose, and Gao Ming Gao Jue's intelligence this time was indeed very important, so he still let Hu Lei in.

Hu Lei entered the camp, because he knew that this group of men and horses was likely to come to help him, so he saluted directly: "Hu Lei has seen the general." I don't know what the general's garrison is here?"

Hearing Hu Lei ask his purpose as soon as he came up, Yuan Hong not only did not get angry, but felt that Hu Lei was very cheerful - because he himself was a straightforward person. With a light smile, Yuan Hong said directly: "General Hu doesn't need to be polite. One of the people in the Xiqi army has an old grudge against me, and this time, I came to stop the Xiqi army. ”

Hearing Yuan Hong say this, Hu Lei's heart that had been hanging suddenly fell - he didn't care what reason Yuan Hong was against Xiqi, but as long as this army of soldiers and horses came to help his side, it was enough.

Haha smiled, Hu Lei said: "General Gaoyi." Xiqi rats, this time innocently provoked war and fell into the world in the flames of war, it is really an unforgivable crime. If the general can repel the Xiqi rebels this time, the king must be willing to reward him, and I hope the general can rest assured. ”

Hearing this, although Yuan Hong didn't mind, Gao Ming and Gao Jue were overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Thank you for the general's auspicious words!"

Now that he has understood the purpose of Yuan Hong and his entourage, Hu Lei did not stay in Yuan Hong's camp longer, and a few people exchanged a few words, and Hu Lei returned to Jiamengguan.

Back at Jiamengguan, Hu Lei hurriedly reported to Hu Sheng and explained the situation. Hearing what Hu Lei said, Hu Sheng was immediately overjoyed - in this way, with the assistance of such a force of soldiers and horses, he had a greater chance of guarding Jiameng Pass.

After Hu Lei left, Yuan Hong just practiced his soldiers and horses every day, waiting for the arrival of the Xiqi army.

A few days later, when Yuan Hong was already a little impatient to wait, Nangong Shi, the commander of the Xiqi army, finally led the Xiqi army to the vicinity.

Before the men and horses arrived, they had already reported to Nangong Shi, saying that there was a soldier and horse blocking the way in front of them, and asked the marshal to decide.

Hearing this, Nangong Shi felt that most of the Jiameng guards knew that they were attacking, so they took the initiative to attack and wanted to keep the enemy out of the pass. Therefore, Nangong Shi, who is stable by nature, decided to set up a big camp first and then make plans.

It's just that Nangong Shi is fighting steadily here, and Yuan Hong has been looking forward to it for many days, and finally Xiqi soldiers and horses are coming, but he is unwilling to wait any longer. Therefore, Nangong Shi gathered the generals on his side, and before he began to discuss the matter, he heard a report from a soldier, saying that there were enemy generals leading troops to fight outside, and he named and said that he wanted General Yang Jian to meet him.

Hearing this, everyone in the tent couldn't help but look at each other. Nangong Shi asked curiously, "General Yang, could it be your acquaintance?"

Hearing Nangong Shi say this, Yang Jian was also confused, and said, "The last general doesn't know either." Although it is located in the boundary of Taoshan, strictly speaking, it is the homeland of the last general, but the last general has been practicing in Yuquan Mountain with his master since he was a child, so there should be no familiar people here. ”

Seeing Yang Jian's puzzled look, Wei Hu said directly: "Senior Brother Yang Jian, why bother?

Hearing this, although Yang Jian felt that what Wei Hu said was reasonable, the coach of this road was Nangong Shi, and with his temperament, he naturally would not go to war directly, so Yang Jian said to Nangong Shi: "General Nangong, I hope that the general will allow the last general to fight, find out the truth of the comer, and make plans." ”

Nangong nodded and said, "General Yang can go." It's just that although General Yang has great powers, his military affairs are dangerous, and I hope that General Yang will not be careless. ”

Hearing this, Yang Jian nodded spontaneously.

After getting Nangong Shi's permission, Yang Jian immediately got on his horse and left the barracks, leading the troops to the outside of the camp.

Out of the camp, Yang Jian saw a young military general riding a white horse under his crotch, wearing a silver helmet and silver armor, holding an iron long stick in his hand, and was calling for battle outside the camp.

Seeing this, Yang Jian stepped forward and asked, "Who are you who dare to lead the troops to block our army's way? Also, why did you name me and ask for me? I remember that I had never seen you. There is no doubt that that person is Yuan Hong.

Hearing Yang Jian say this, Yuan Hong's eyes narrowed slightly, looked Yang Jian up and down, and said lightly: "You are Yang Jian?"
