Chapter 80: The Art of Guarding the Public War (Part II)

Xu Tianchang asked again: "Big brother, where are you going to go? I received a letter from Marshal Yue a year later, saying that you went north to Huining Mansion to pick up your uncle's body from the third brother, I don't know if it was done?" Dugu Jian nodded and replied: "Well, it's done, we have met the third brother, and we have already brought back my father's ashes." Pen~Fun~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Oh, by the way, after the third brother knew that you got married, he specially asked me to bring you a congratulatory gift. With that, Dugu Jian untied his burden, found the wooden box that Zhang Jinyan gave to Xu Tianchang, and handed it to Xu Tianchang. Xu Tianchang opened it and saw the white jade horse inside, which was lifelike, and couldn't help but admire: "It's so beautiful, it's ingenious! ”

Zhang Lin said in his heart: "Brother Xu, I don't like to listen to what you say, is it only Zhang Jinyan who is attentive? The marksmanship that your eldest brother gave you is more useful than this for Bai Yuma!" Xu Tianchang hurriedly replied: "Yes, yes, sister-in-law taught you a lesson." This hasn't passed the door yet, just protect my eldest brother like this, this is going to pass the door, then I, as a brother, will be even more bearable!"

"You! what a fight!" The girl made a gesture, Xu Tianchang hurriedly hugged his head and hid behind Dugu Jian, and shouted: "Ahhh

After a while, all three of them sat on the grass to rest. Xu Tianchang then asked: "Big brother, it's been a long time, and you haven't told your younger brother where you plan to go?" Dugu Jian replied: "Do you remember the book of the art of war left by Li Weigong that I mentioned to you when you got married last time?" "How could I forget this? Could it be that Big Brother already has any clues?" asked Xu Tianchang. Dugu Jian said: "Yes, two days ago in Xuzhou we met Gao Guangyuan's senior......" He told Xu Tianchang all the causes and consequences, "In this way, the two things are one, we will go to Huashan, first, to find this military book, and second, to investigate the reason why Huashan was breached." After Xu Tianchang listened, he nodded.

Dugu Jian saw Xu Tianchang's soldiers and horses not far away, and knew that they had stayed for a long time, so he said: "Second brother, it's not too early, it's time for us to set off, you should also rush back as soon as possible to recover your life." Xu Tianchang looked at the people over there who had already rested enough, and many people got up and walked around, obviously waiting a little impatiently. He also nodded, "Okay, I'll leave my eldest brother, you guys also take care all the way, be more careful!"

The three of them said goodbye, Xu Tianchang led his troops and horses south to return to Mengcheng, and Jian Xin and the two continued westward to Huashan. Along the way, the two trekked through mountains and rivers, stayed overnight, and came to Huayin County seven days later.

The Sichuan-Shaanxi area was not the center of gravity of the Wushu offensive this time, so it did not receive too many troops to replenish it, and could only maintain a defensive position. Leaving the horses in the woods at the foot of Mount Hua, Kenshin and the two walked to Shitang Town, looking at the town that had been almost burned to the ground by the war, with ruins and broken walls, and a depressed look, both of them felt very uncomfortable. When they left a few years ago, although the Jin soldiers had already occupied the place, at least they did not burn down the town. But now, apart from the rubble, there is nothing left.

When I came to the foot of Huashan Mountain, I saw a few golden soldiers guarding the entrance to the mountain, looking at the mountain from a distance, you can see flags planted on the top of the mountain, and last year when the Jin soldiers surrounded the mountain, you can see a camp, there are many shadows inside, and I don't know how many people. It seems that in order to prevent Huashan from being used by the Han people again, Jin Bing actually stationed troops on the mountain at any cost, which is really too meticulous.

The two hid behind a big rock and observed for a long time, and found that the vigilance of these Jin soldiers was still relatively high, if they wanted to break through, they were afraid that it was not a way, and now they didn't know anything about the specific situation on the mountain, in case the Jin people still arranged an ambush or trap on the mountain, it would be very bad. Until the evening, they had seen the Jin soldiers change their sentry posts three times, but the more night it went, the more cautious these people became, and they did not let go of any slight disturbance around them as if they were facing a great enemy. This kind of performance made Kenshin have a headache and was helpless.

In fact, how did they know that these Jin soldiers originally had a lot of complaints about guarding Huashan, and during the time when they had just captured the mountain, they didn't work hard at all, and they just coped with things every day, and they had to get by. But who expected that one day a year ago, the Jin soldier stationed in Chang'an City, Hua Li Huaxi, accompanied a big man to inspect here, and the big man saw the free and loose situation of the Jin soldiers here, and was furious. This move directly subdued all those golden soldiers, and no one dared to say a word, one by one, cautiously, walking on thin ice, and dutifully guarding and inspecting the entire Huashan.

Among them, Kenshin still doesn't know one thing, that is, in fact, there is a group of killers from the Five Colors Sect on the mountain, and they are also ordered to be stationed here. These people were ordered to assist the Jin soldiers and prevent those masters from coming together, as long as they could hold out for a day or two, then the cavalry of a Jin army stationed in the Tongguan area would quickly come to reinforcements and wipe out all the attackers. It's just that in the past few months, although the destruction of the Huashan faction has spread all over the rivers and lakes, many gangs are too busy to take care of themselves, where can they have the time to take care of this mess?

The sky had completely darkened, and the two of Kenshin were at a loss for a while, and they didn't know what to do. Breaking through is definitely the next strategy in the next policy, it is simple to kill these guards in front of the mountain, but there are still lookout posts on the mountain not far away, every move here is under the monitoring of the sentry over there, and it is extremely difficult to go up the mountain quietly. Besides, even if they could settle all the places, they didn't know what was going on on the mountain, and if they were to fall into the net, it would be very difficult to get out.

Dugu Jian suddenly felt that he was a head and two big, and Zhang Linxin said softly: "Brother Dugu, why don't we go up the mountain on that path." "At first, the two of them didn't think about taking the path, but in the afternoon they also went to see it, and it should have been discovered by the Jin soldiers, and they blocked a narrow gap in the cliff that only allowed one person to pass through, so that the path could no longer pass. Otherwise, how can they not choose to go up the hill again?

Dugu Jian sighed and said: "Lin'er, I'm afraid that this road won't work, even if we can find a way to pass through that cliff, can you guarantee that those places further up can be unimpeded?" What's more, since the Jin people already know about the existence of this path, I think it's impossible for them not to send people to guard those gentle areas, this method is not much easier than breaking through the main road." ”

Zhang Linxin didn't see it that way, and persuaded: "Brother Dugu, you are usually so smart, how can you say such frustrating things at this time? In my opinion, it is precisely because the Jin soldiers blocked the cliff and destroyed this path that it shows that they did not send people to guard it at all! Otherwise, why would they block the road, as long as they send a few people to guard it, and when outsiders pass, they will smash down stones, then it will be impossible for people to resist, so why do they need to do more?"

Hearing the girl say this, Dugu Jian's eyes suddenly lit up, yes, what Zhang Linxin said is completely reasonable, it seems that Jin Bing is just to prevent someone from sneaking up the mountain again, and he didn't think about going up the mountain at all, so if you look at it this way, it's not impossible to find a way to go down the path.
