Xue Binghan knew that the army was on an expedition and the trail was difficult to hide, so he proposed to move forward without stopping. Li Tingyu thought so, and led the army to take the official road first, and there was no danger in the Jiangnan area. However, when they reached Shu, they were intercepted by the Yuan army.

However, Xue Binghan knows the situation of the enemy army well, and can always deal with it freely. The Goshawk, Li Ruolan and other leading troops went out to fight, and the Wei defenders were far less powerful than the Mengyuan Iron Cavalry, and they pursued them, but they were defeated by the righteous army one after another, and fled back to the city in disgrace, and even avoided the battle.

In such a series of battles, the news came out, and many heroes in Shu also took refuge, the number of rebels surged, and the material resources were endless, but the momentum soared. After marching for ten days, he finally got the military information, Timur led 200,000 troops into Jiangnan to quell the rebellion, Li Tingyu's soldiers had already withdrawn, and the rest of the people were not all the way with him, nor did they become a climate, and the Yuan army was invincible wherever they went. But Timur really issued a strict order not to allow the Yuan people to slaughter and loot the city, so although Jiangnan experienced war, it was also spared from disaster for a while.

Li Tingyu and others admired Xue Binghan, and they were even more shocked when they heard about it, Li Tingyu said: "The Taoist chief is very smart and knowing, so that everyone escaped the catastrophe, and also saved countless people in the south of the Yangtze River. ”

Xue Binghan said humbly: "We were driven by the Tartars to flee everywhere, and we have no fixed place to live, how can I have any credit? It's just that this escape ability can be regarded as the world's first-class." ”

On this day, when they traveled to the bank of a big river, they saw that the river level was stable and the water flow was not urgent, and everyone felt that they were lucky, and secretly thought: "If the flood is overflowing, let's take a detour to cross the river, the situation will be greatly unfavorable, and if we are not careful, we will be caught up by the Tartars." Xue Binghan led the army to quietly go around a small half circle, avoiding the eyes and ears of the Yuan people, and found skilled craftsmen to cut down trees and trees. Build a raft and cross the river at night. The people on the other side of the bank lost their precautions and failed to stop them, and when they found out about it, it was too late, and everyone had already quietly crossed the river, although there was a slight loss of people and horses, but the people were strong and did not care.

As a result, it has approached the territory of Yunnan, and the army is not adapted. Plagued by miasma, there are many sick people, have to camp in the mountains to rest, Duan Yushui has superb medical skills, and there are pottery snakes, Xiang'er to help, such a small illness in the army, it is not difficult for him, but the climate here is dangerous, it is the disaster of heaven and earth. There is no way to reverse it, and people will only be healed unless they leave here. Li Tingyu had no choice but to send spies. Investigate a radius of dozens of miles to prevent any soldiers from chasing after them.

Xue Binghan was a little annoyed and said, "In this way, we can't stay in the mountains for a long time. But if you are reluctant to get on the road. The condition of the soldiers is aggravated, and there will be many casualties. After thinking for a long time, he said, "Brother Goshawk." Take me out for a walk, look for villages and towns, and see if there is a place to stay. ”

Goshawk sighed: "We have been to Yunnan a few times, but we have never visited here, otherwise we would not be so helpless." In order to avoid pursuit, they traveled on a very remote route, which was on the border of Yunnan, and was still very far away from Zhao Sheng's location.

The two went out of the barracks, the snow and ice were cold and the stars were watching and listening to the wind, the goshawk probed the traces of people, walked more than ten miles, and sure enough, they saw a village, which was full of Turkish residents, and the two walked into the village, and the villagers saw them, they were very frightened, and they avoided it.

The goshawk was sharp-eyed, and seeing that an old man was not hiding away, but seemed to have something on his mind, he stepped forward and asked: "Old man, our brother and sister have just come here, I don't know what's wrong, why are you so afraid of us?"

As expected, the old man really understood it, and replied in Chinese: "You are wearing Han clothes, Han robbers, notoriety, more hateful than the Yuan people, everyone is naturally very afraid when they see it." ”

Goshawk and Xue Binghan were shocked in their hearts, and hurriedly asked: "I don't know who the old man said about the Han robbers?"

Seeing that they didn't look like bad people, the old man lowered his voice and said, "Naturally, it's Zhao Lie, the king of Song Zheng." ”

Xue Bing cold "ah", I remembered, it turned out that after Zhao Sheng raised troops, I heard that in the southwest, there was another person who claimed to be a descendant of the royal family of the Song Dynasty, established himself as the king, attracted many heroes, divided one place, claimed to have millions of soldiers, and Zhao Sheng, that person seemed to be called Zhao Lie. She asked, "Old man, are Zhao Lie's subordinates acting very cruel?"

The old man suddenly burst into tears and said, "This person acts hatefully, and he doesn't treat our Naxi people as human beings. His soldiers are ten thousand times more hateful than bandits, he sends troops from time to time to rob our cottage food, gold and silver, women, and take young children into slavery. ”

The goshawk was furious and said, "This thief is truly hateful!"

Xue Binghan asked, "Do you know where this Zhao Lie is entrenched?"

The old man replied: "I know, I know, it is called Luzhou, it is a big city around us, it was originally a city of the Mongols, and then Zhao Liece rebelled against the Han people in the city and took that place, so he took that side as the capital." "After that, I explained the location of Luzhou in detail.

Xue Bing said happily: "Uncle, thank you for your guidance, our army is here, disturbed by the plague, and is about to take refuge in this big city." ”

The old man was taken aback and asked, "You are really Zhao Lie's people, me and me."

Xue Binghan smiled slightly, and said: "We are very different from that Zhao Lie, it is the anti-Yuan righteous army from the Central Plains, who was forced to be cornered by the Tartars, and suffered several defeats in succession. Uncle, we have 60,000 soldiers and horses, and now we are ten miles northeast of us, can we come to your village and camp in your village, and borrow your treasure land to recuperate? ”

Goshawk felt slightly strange, and secretly thought: "Why does she exaggerate our difficulties?" After thinking about it carefully, she knew in her heart: "The snow girl intends to let that Zhao Lie know about our affairs and lead him into the net." In the blink of an eye, she came up with such a method, and she was extremely clever. ”

The old man hurriedly said: "Our village is small, where is there a place for you to live?"

Xue Binghan asked again: "Then what other towns and villages are there near here, let's go there and try our luck." ”

Seeing that the two were polite, the old man couldn't bear to refuse, so he carefully talked about a few Naxi villages, took out a small white bead, and said: "You just said that Shaluli asked you to go, although they may not be willing to stay, but you might as well try." ”

The two of them thanked each other for their kindness, and when they got out of the village, Xue Binghan didn't ask much when he saw the goshawk, but gently pushed him on the shoulder, and said angrily: "Do you know what I'm going to do? Why don't you praise me? Ask me?

The goshawk couldn't cry and laughed, and said, "I was dumbfounded, and I was so in awe of you that I didn't even dare to let out a fart." ”

Xue Binghan smiled: "I call this a plan to show the enemy weakness and lure the enemy in. It's no surprise. There may be Zhao Lie's spies in this village, but this old man Sharuli doesn't know about it. Later, someone in the village will ask questions, and this matter will definitely reach Zhao Lie's ears. Let's run a few more places quickly to make sure this wicked man can hear. ”

The goshawk said, "The wicked man claims to have a million soldiers, and although it is never credible, there are always a hundred thousand. Our army is full of sick people, and the people who can get up and fight are no more than 40,000, and they are afraid that the losses will be not small. ”

Xue Binghan said with a grin: "Then we have to play some rogue tricks." Although he is far superior in numbers, we have Brother Goshawk to lead the army to fight, and against this rabble, we will never suffer. The two talked while walking, Xue Binghan said the speculation and strategy in his heart completely, and the goshawk listened to this plan simple and clear, but it was also difficult to see through, and he couldn't help but admire it greatly.

The two of them showed their skills, walked like flying, and walked through four or five Naxi villages in a short time, Xue Binghan told the lie several times, and asked to settle in, but the villagers refused, the two looked annoyed, but they did not argue, retreated, and then hurriedly returned to the camp.

Xue Binghan immediately showed Li Tingyu and said: "Tonight, that Zhao Lie will send a large army to attack, where we camp, there are two entrances, for that Zhao Lie, one far and one close. This person does not know our exact location, and will send spies to spy on us, so most of them will approach the road. We can send troops to ambush on both sides, listen to my signals, kill them in one fell swoop, and keep them to win easily. ”

Li Tingyu knew that she was going to be successful, and immediately planned from her, although Xue Binghan had only been here for a short day, he was already familiar with the terrain, drew 20,000 horses, ambushed on both sides of the entrance of the valley, and then sent martial arts experts to hide in the trees and wait carefully for Zhao Lie's spies.

After a while, I saw a few people sneaking around, quickly came to the outside of the camp, hid behind the stones and probed their brains, Xue Binghan made arrangements early, sent out a code, and the wails were incessant when the village was neutral, and the soldiers lay on the ground, full of pain. The men looked at it for a long time, and went satisfied.

Waiting with bated breath until midnight, there were indeed many thieves in the forest. The goshawk probed and knew that there were about 20,000 enemies, and waited patiently until most of them passed through the valley. The goshawk let out a long roar and shouted, "Shoot arrows!" So the arrows on both sides rained down, overwhelming the sky, and beckoned to the heads of the thieves. Zhao Lie's soldiers and horses were terrified, and they were in a mess, and they suffered heavy casualties in an instant. Goshawk and Xiang'er led the army to descend from the sky, holding shields to block the exits of the two sides, the long sword shook, and the sword qi flew together, killing and injuring ten people in an instant. And Li Ruolan, Duan Yushui, and Mo Wei blocked the road in front.

I only heard the shouting, the sound of the blade, only to see the sword light and sword shadow, flesh and blood flying, even if there are good hands in the enemy army, but there is a rain of arrows, there is no way out before and after, this Zhao Lie's subordinates are a rabble, facing a desperate situation, suddenly their hearts are broken, crying and begging. The goshawk shouted, "Throw down your blades and surrender quickly!" or you will be killed, and you will show no mercy, like a lamb slaughtered." He used enough internal strength, like a lion and tiger roaring, the enemy troops in the valley could hear it clearly, and no longer dared to resist, sonorous, and all the blades fell to the ground. The goshawk took the lead and tied everyone back, but none of them escaped.

Goshawk asked, "Which of you is the leader?"

The thieves screamed and roared, and a short and strong man shouted: "It's me, it's me, the general spares his life, spares his life." (To be continued.) )
