Wang Renxiao screamed miserably, and fell to the ground, blood gushing from his left rib, and his mood was full of helplessness and despair. Luo Tianchu pointed at his face and said, "Have you served?" Wang Ren knew that he was in a catastrophe, and sighed with a smile: "Obeyed, alas...... I regret it. Luo Tianchu said: "What do you regret?" Wang Renxiao smiled bitterly: "If I knew that you were such a person, I would have killed you desperately back then." Luo Tianchu sneered: "It's you who is dying now." As he spoke, he raised his sword and tried to cut it down. Wang Renxiao suddenly said sharply: "Wang can die under the sword of your junior!" After that, he wiped his neck with his sword, blood soaked through his clothes, and his body fell.

Yan Weifeng twisted his face to the side, unable to bear to look at it again. Luo Tianchu turned his head to look at Qiu Lihai and said, "Do you want to apologize for your crimes, or do you want to fight with me and die like Wang Renxiao?" Qiu Lihai knew that the result of his challenge to him was just to bring humiliation on himself, and instead of humiliating and humiliating, it was better to die happily, and shouted: "Untie me and give me the sword!" Luo Tianchu kicked Wang Renxiao's long sword to him, and the soldier removed his chains. Qiu Lihai picked up the long sword with trembling hands, and roared: "I won't let you go if I'm a ghost!"

Luo Tianchu looked at the two corpses on the ground, suddenly burst into tears, knelt on the ground and looked up at the blue sky, and shouted sadly: "Big brother, have you seen it! Then Luo Tianchu and Zhu Yushi cut off the heads of the two, and put the bloody heads in front of Zhong Yuanpeng's tombstone, Luo Tianchu led the crowd to kneel in front of the graves of the three, and he said loudly: "The three eldest brothers are above, please bless us to conquer Chang'an, pacify Guanzhong, and create my castle hegemony, and the younger brother Luo Tianchu bows his respects." After saying that, they kowtowed respectfully nine times, and then got up and left Qingfeng Cliff.

At the foot of the mountain, Luo Tianchu asked Lu Fei, Zhao Hengshan, and Zhu Yushi to join the vanguard force, and the main force was led by Gongsun Mingyue and Gu Yao, including Jia Yinyang, Tie Ying, Dongguo Wendao, Ling Xue'er, He Yuelian and Jiang Nu'er. Luo Tianchu asked the six thousand soldiers of the vanguard to ride a horse together and gallop towards the monk Yuan. In order to save horsepower, he rested for half an hour after two hours, and arrived at the monk after two days and one night. Before they reached the city, the trumpet was blown on the city, and the Song soldiers did not know the situation, thinking that the enemy was attacking the city, and they all drew their bows and arrows, and prepared to fire. Luo Tianchu hurriedly raised his breath and shouted: "Hugh wants to release the arrow, we are our own people, please come out to meet Wu Dashuai." After a while, Wu Jie and Wu Ling appeared on the wall, and Wu Jie smiled: "I thought you would only arrive tomorrow, the action is really fast enough." Come, open the gates, let them in. Song Bing put away his weapons and opened the city gate.

Luo Tianchu led the army into the city, Wu Jie's two people caught them, Wu Jie's said: "The soldiers are fast, I won't greet you brothers, the grain has been piled up outside the granary, you can take it yourself." The heroes thanked them and asked the soldiers to load their horses with food. Luo Tianchu said: "Our main force will arrive tomorrow night, and we will have to trouble the eldest brother at that time." Wu Jie nodded and said, "It's easy to say." Half an hour later, the horses were loaded with grain and grass, and after everyone in the Blood Knife Fort said goodbye, they went out of the south gate.

After walking for most of the day, I came to Dasanguan. The guard general Yang Zuoyi had received a notice from Wu Jie, so he set up dozens of tables under the pass, placing rice and wine to reward the army. Luo Tianchu gave the soldiers a quarter of an hour to eat and thanked Yang Zuoyi. Then he passed through the Great Scatter Pass and continued to move forward. After nightfall, Luo Tianchu asked the army to camp by the river, unload the grain carried by the war horses, and then take the war horses to the river to drink water and wash them, and then lead them to the lawn next to the river to feed the grass. After arranging the war horses, Luo Tianchu asked the soldiers to set fire to cook, and after a hasty meal, he rested, and the fifth watch continued to set off.

The Chencang Road from Dasanguan to Hanzhong was the main route for the Song army to transport grain and grass, and the plank road along the way was well repaired to facilitate the march. In the evening of the same day, the army came to Lianyun Road, which is a Shu road connecting Chencang Road and Bao Slope Road, because the east of Baoji has belonged to the territory of the Jin Kingdom, Bao Slope Road and the Great Song Dynasty share, so both sides are unwilling to repair the plank road, fortunately, the years are not long, and they can still barely march. The vanguard army passed through Lianyun Road and Baochuan Road in three days, and there were many Song army checkpoints on the way, but fortunately, Wu Jiedu had already greeted them and let them go. The south entrance of the Baochuan Road is less than 100 miles away from Hanzhong, the vanguard army detoured and embarked on the Fu Luo Road, although the condition of the Fu Luo Road is poor, fortunately, there is no need to go far, only 200 miles is the crossing of the Meridian Road.

Among the five Shu roads, only the meridian road is the most difficult to walk, the mountain road is rugged, the plank road is seriously damaged, and sometimes the army has to stop advancing, cut down trees nearby, and rest the plank road. On the fifteenth day, the meridian road was not halfway through, and the collapse of the plank road in the morning caused thirty-two soldiers to fall off the cliff, and they had to rest the plank road for the third time. The leaders worked with the soldiers to cut down trees and pave roads and bridges. During the break, the leaders sat shirtless in the shade of the tree to wipe their sweat and drink water, Lu Fei said: "Our food is only enough for tomorrow, and we will run out of food the day after tomorrow, and there is not much water in storage, I don't know if there is any stream water in front of us." Zhu Yushi said: "It will take four or five days to walk through the Meridian Road, and although you will not starve to death if you eat wild vegetables, you will have no strength when you have no food in your stomach to fight." Zhao Hengshan said: "If you really can't do it, you can only kill the war horse." Luo Tianchu said: "Killing the war horse is the last step, today we will spend the night here and repair the plank road overnight." Master, Hall Master Zhao, you led a thousand good hunting soldiers into the mountains to hunt. It's late spring and early summer, and it's the season of wild beasts, so if you can hunt a few big insects, the soldiers can satisfy their hunger and find out if there is a water source. ”

Six and two men answered the order and led the troops into the mountains. That night, the soldiers took shifts to rest and finally repaired the plank road. In the early morning of the next day, Lu Fei and Zhao Hengshan returned with a full load, they went into the mountains and scattered to hunt, bringing a tiger's den, a wolf's den, roe deer, wild boars, and hares countless, and also found a tributary of the Wei River twenty miles away. Luo Tianchu was overjoyed, ordered the soldiers to skin and roast the beast on the spot, wrapped the uneaten meat and took it away after a full meal, and gathered all the soldiers' water bladders together, and sent a team of people to the stream to fetch water. I was busy until noon before continuing my journey. After walking for another two days, the road was still passable, Luo Tianchu ordered to speed up the march, and in the afternoon, he suddenly saw a man and a rider coming on, and it was Li Xiao. After seeing the ceremony, Luo Tianchu asked as he walked, "Is it going well?" Li Xiaodao: "Yes, my subordinates have drawn and marked the terrain in and around Chang'an City. As he spoke, he took out a folded piece of silk paper and handed it to Luo Tianchu. Luo Tianchu opened it and took a look, only to see that the main streets, facilities, and the distribution of Jin soldiers stationed in Chang'an City were clearly marked on the paper, as well as the hills, streams, and woods outside the city. Luo Tianchu praised: "Concise and clear, focused, and the painting is quite good." Li Xiao smiled and said, "Lord Xie Bao appreciates." Luo Tianchu stopped talking, looked at the silk paper for a while, and said: "Is there really only five thousand gold soldiers in Chang'an City?" Li Xiaodao: "Yes, my subordinates have repeatedly verified, and there are indeed only five thousand, and eighty percent of them are Han reserve soldiers, and they have no combat experience." Luo Tianchu said happily: "God really helps me, who is the guard?" Li Xiaodao: "His name is Cui Xing, he is a civil official, so he doesn't have to worry, but he has a young general under him, named Han Feng, the son of Han Chang, born brave, infinitely powerful, and quite a father." Zhao Hengshan said disapprerovingly: "That kid didn't meet an opponent, Lao Tzu slapped him into a pulp." Luo Tianchu said: "Who is Han Chang?" (To be continued.) )
