But see this Tianmen Mountain scenery is charming, strange peaks and strange stones can be seen everywhere, at this time in the spring of March, all things recover, the peaks and valleys are all verdant green, can not help but lead people to reverie.
At this time, I saw that there were six people standing on the top of the misty peak of Tianmen Mountain, these six people were either heroic or handsome or handsome or bear-waisted tiger-backed, who else could there be if it wasn't Xiao Yichen, Yang Jian and others!
Yang Jian looked at the churning clouds under his feet, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he turned to Xiao Yichen and said, "Good brother, thanks to you this time, otherwise how could we still have our lives, brother, how can we see such a scenery again!"
Gao Ying and the others also echoed from time to time, Xiao Yichen hurriedly said: "What does the eldest brother say, we are brothers and we share the blessings and misfortunes, and this time we are lucky to delay the enemy army, and the credit of Brother He and Brother Han is not small." He smiled at the two of them.
He Ruobi also nodded at him with a smile, and originally wanted to joke: "Of course, I don't look at what kind of person my old He is...."
But Han Baohu beside him pulled his sleeves, glanced at Yang Jian, and slowly shook his head at him, before he put away his expression and said to Xiao Yichen: "Brother Xiao, you are too modest, if it weren't for your sudden move this time, Brother Xiao, Hua Mao and I would definitely be prisoners this time....
At this time, Han Baohu blushed and yelled at him: "He Shanpao, what do you mean?"
He Ruobi plucked out his ears, and said with an expression of "you bite me": "It's not interesting! Hua Mao, isn't what I said the truth?"
"You, you're still shouting!"
"What's wrong with me just shouting?" After He Ruobi finished speaking, he turned his back to him and twisted his buttocks, Han Baohu shouted angrily: "Big brother, please allow me, I want to fight this guy for three hundred rounds!"
Xiao Yichen and the others saw that as soon as the two of them got out of the crisis, they quarreled again, and couldn't help but smile and shook their heads.
Yang Jian reconciled at this time: "Okay, don't make trouble, this time we can turn evil into good fortune, it's really a happy event, let's go drink!"
"Stunned, there's wine to drink, yes!
That He Ruobi was blowing his beard and glaring at himself and Han Baohu, when he suddenly heard Yang Jian say that there was wine to drink, his eyes couldn't help but shine, and he shouted and ran down the mountain first.
But it caused a burst of laughter behind him, "Haha, this drunkard...."
It turned out that when Yang Jian and others were in Bazhou City, they discussed that the current 100,000 troops on their side were not the opponents of the Chen Dynasty's entire army, and they could only temporarily avoid the edge and wait for a favorable opportunity, but if these 100,000 troops retreated together, they would inevitably leave clues, and they would be defeated and killed and wounded when they were chased by the Chen army.
After thinking about it, they only left a part of the soldiers and horses to temporarily drag the enemy army in order to evacuate, but those who stayed behind will have to face dozens of times the enemy's strength, and the pressure is not small, and in the end, Xiao Yichen took the initiative to ask Ying, and He Ruobi and Han Baohu stayed to fight against the Chen Dynasty army.
Of the 50,000 troops in Bazhou City, 20,000 were former prisoners, and another 20,000 troops were militiamen drawn from the city of Bazhou, and only 10,000 elite soldiers were Northern Zhou soldiers.
After that tragic battle, more than 40,000 of the 50,000 soldiers were killed, but Nan Chen also suffered heavy losses, and it took 90,000 casualties to capture Bazhou City, and Xiao Yichen finally led the surviving 3,000 elite soldiers to retreat from the tunnel, and Yang Jian, they were generally divided into pieces, and converged on the Nawuling Mountains from all directions, and they finally met at Tianmen Mountain eight days later.
At this time, the upper and lower parts of Tianmen Mountain were guarded by Northern Zhou soldiers, and Yang Jian wanted to recuperate here, and then compete with Nan Chen.
After some time, Yang Jian ordered the soldiers to start plowing and loosening the soil on the mountainside and at the foot of Tianmen Mountain.
It turned out that Yang Jian wanted to train troops here in Tuntian.
Qingming soaked rice, Gu Yu planted seedlings, Yang Jian and Xiao Yichen and several others also went into battle to plant seedlings in person, and those Northern Zhou soldiers worked even harder when they saw this, and they didn't dare to be lazy.
After another ten days, Xiao Yichen stood on the top of the mountain and looked down, and saw the green rice growing in the terraced fields, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile, and unconsciously he took out the strand of hair from his arms, and turned to look in the northwest direction, and couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: "Sister Qing doesn't know what she is doing?
But in an instant, he shook his head again, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Hey, when did I become such a mother-in-law, when I return triumphantly, wouldn't it be better to ask her in person?....
In the rest of the days, Xiao Yichen cooperated with Yang Lin and others to train the soldiers, and improved the military formation passed down by Sima Mingcheng, so that the Northern Zhou soldiers could practice, or two or three people, or hundreds of people could form a killing formation, and the power was increased several times. Seeing this, Yang Jian couldn't help but show a happy smile on his face.
The spring is short, lost in an instant, and ushered in the scorching summer, but even so, the soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty still practiced under the scorching sun, and they had to go to the fields to weed, which was not hard, but in He Ruobi's words, "If you want to shed less blood on the battlefield, you need to sweat more on weekdays!"
And Xiao Yichen, Han Baohu and other tiger generals also took the lead in person, and the other soldiers had no complaints to talk about, Xiao Yichen was training the soldiers at the same time, his own martial arts did not fall at all, the cold true qi in his body had been refined by him, and the internal force was more refined.
The days are repetitive and monotonous.
At the end of July, seeing that the rice on the mountainside and at the foot of the mountain was golden, it was already the harvest season, but at this time, Yang Jian suddenly received a secret report: "Wu Mingche actually reorganized the troops, led an army of 500,000, and quietly covered up!"
When Gao Ying and the others heard this, their faces immediately changed color, and they all frowned.
Yang Jian glanced at everyone, and suddenly saw that Xiao Yichen still looked calm, and couldn't help but say: "Why doesn't Brother Xiao Xian seem to be panicked at all!
He Ruobi on the side was also busy saying: "Yes, when is this time, Brother Xiao, you don't want to sell Guanzi anymore!"
Xiao Yichen clasped his fists and arched his hand at everyone and smiled: "What the elder brothers have taught is that the younger brother is coming!"
Then he continued: "Don't hide it from a few brothers, the younger brother has actually planned that there will be this day, so he is not too panicked!"
Yang Jian and the others all let out an "oh!" when they heard this, and still looked at him, looking forward to his next words.
But he saw Xiao Yichen talking eloquently: "Although we are broken into pieces and retreat towards the Wuling Mountain Range, after all, 100,000 soldiers is not a small number, and it is unrealistic to completely hide from Nan Chen's ears and eyes..."
Everyone gave an "um" and nodded.
"So since then, I've been thinking about what to do in the future! Presumably Senior Brother has already had an insight! Let's talk about it!" Xiao Yichen suddenly turned his head to Gao Ying on the side at this time.
When He Ruobi and the others heard this, they all looked at Gao Ying, who shook his head and pointed at Xiao Yichen with a wry smile and said, "You, you, don't sell it, come and listen to us quickly!"
"Yes, yes, yes..."Han Baohu and the others also urged.
But seeing that Xiao Yichen shook his head unhurriedly, he still smiled at Gao Ying and said, "Brother Gao, why don't we follow the example of the ancients and write out their strategies on paper?"
"This...."Gao Ying couldn't help but hesitate.
But He Ruobi and the others saw that the two of them probably had a plan, since they were not in a hurry, how could they follow the blind hurry, hearing what Xiao Yichen said, they immediately coaxed: "Yes, yes....!"
Gao Ying glanced at Han Baohu and the others, and suddenly a look of extreme confidence erupted in her eyes, and she shouted at Xiao Yichen: "Okay, then let's write and read!"
The two of them took the pen and ink from the hands of the soldiers on the side, turned their backs, wrote a few words on the paper, and then spread them out together.
But Xiao Yichen and Gao Ying looked at each other and laughed, feeling the same as the heroes.
Seeing that everyone was a monk who was the second zhang, he couldn't touch his head, He Ruobi finally couldn't hold his breath and took the lead in asking: "Brother Xiao, why are you laughing, what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd?"
Xiao Yichen glanced at Gao Ying, and then said: "Brother Gao's thoughts are the same as mine, we have already retreated to this place before, if we still retreat at this time, they will definitely think that we are afraid of them, and when the time comes..."
He Ruobi couldn't help but rush at this time: "When the time comes, we will suddenly kill them by surprise, right! hehe..."
"Hmm," Xiao Yichen smiled and nodded.
"The arrogant soldiers will be defeated, good strategy!" Yang Jian gave Xiao Yichen a thumbs up, but he suddenly frowned and said, "But won't these crops that we have worked so hard be destroyed by Chen Jun?"
"Yes!" Han Baohu and Yang Lin both nodded in agreement, and He Ruobi scratched his hair even more anxiously.
At this moment, suddenly a spy from outside came to report: "Report!"
Yang Jian said: "Come in!"
The spy knelt down and said, "General Qiyu, the enemy army is already twenty miles away!"
"Well, got it, you go down!"
"Yes!" the man bowed and exited the tent.
Xiao Yichen saw that everyone's faces were full of worry, and he couldn't help but say: "Time is running out, we can only gamble, if the enemy army burns all the crops on the mountain, we will snatch it back from their base camp!"
These resounding words lifted everyone's spirits, and Yang Jian was the first to speak: "Okay! The one hundred and two Qin Passes belong to Chu after all! We will gamble!"
"Yes, bet on ....," He Ruobi and the others all shouted loudly.
At that moment, Yang Jian let Xiao Yichen give full authority to give orders, and Xiao Yichen knew that there was not much time at the moment, so he would not postpone it anymore, and gladly accepted the order.
He ordered Yang Lin to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to retreat to the northwest, and bring more 20,000 soldiers' armor, leaving them for discarding on the ground, and gradually decreasing, Yang Lin took the order to go, and ordered He Ruobi and Han Baohu to lead 50,000 soldiers and horses, and the soldiers went to Dongting Lake in two ways, although He Ruobi and others had a trace of doubt in their hearts, but they were convinced of him, and Yang Jian and Gao Ying also went with them.
