"I'm grass Temal Gobi!" Hong Yu scolded: "Since Lao Tzu is here, Tianchi Mountain will always be in Great Xia! Not only Tianchi Mountain, but also the plains east of Tianchi Mountain will also be in Great Xia!"

The two old men were overjoyed: "Young master is so ambitious! This time, we must teach Hualang a hard lesson!"

After being excited, the two battle-hardened veterans looked cautious: "However, young master, we can't underestimate the enemy." ”

"It is very likely that after leaving Wudu City, the envoy of Hualang will fly pigeons directly to pass the book to the country, if you count from that time, Hualang should have been preparing for a long time, presumably he has gathered a large army, waiting for us to arrive. Moreover, this is the first battle since the establishment of our Desolate Beast Cavalry Regiment, which is very important for the confidence of these boys, and they dare not win, and they must win beautifully! Only in this way can we build a hundred victorious heroes in the future. ”

Hong Yu also nodded: "I don't understand the war, so I have to ask you two to ......."

The two elders had already thought about it before, and suggested at this time: "We are strong, but after all, there are too few troops. If we act with the army, the army will naturally send scouts, and we only need to charge into battle according to the information sent back by the scouts. But now, let's fight alone, and the problem of insufficient scouts is exposed. ”

It's something that can't be helped. First of all, the number of the Desolate Beast Cavalry Regiment is too small, even if Hong Yu is included, there are a total of one hundred and twenty-two people. There were too many scouts sent out, everyone took shifts, and there was no time to rest at all. In addition, in the Desolate Beast Cavalry Regiment, the lowest level is also a five-grade Desolate Beast, such a cavalry is sent out as scouts, and there are still several miles away from the opponent's troops, and the opponent's war horses are too frightened to advance.

Hong Yu scratched his head: "Then what should we do?"

"The young master should find a way to catch a few birds of prey. ”

Hong Yu nodded: "Okay, let's go to the Frost Pass first, settle down temporarily, and then catch the birds of prey and beasts in Jihua." ”

The Frost Pass is the first fortress on the border between Great Xia and Hualang, just like the strategic position of Feitian Pass for Great Xia and Dijon. It is located in the Broken Soul Valley of Tianchi Mountain, 500 zhang long from north to south, 20 zhang high, the wall is 10 zhang thick, the rear fortress is fully equipped, and can garrison an army of 50,000 people.

But because of the good relationship between Daxia and Hualang, there are actually only 4,000 people stationed in the Frost Pass all year round. These 4,000 people, in the eyes of Great Xia, are actually to facilitate the direct dispatch of troops when Hesang attacks the gallery.

The Frost Pass General is a four-rank Yangwu general, Yu Chengji. He is not a member of the Hong family, because Hong Shengri led troops to save Hualang Country back then, but he was shamelessly occupied by Hualang Country in half of Tianchi Mountain, which made Hong Shuai angry and angrily asked for troops. Therefore, the emperor has always been worried that if the generals of the Hong family are arranged in the Frost Pass, maybe one day the generals will not be able to resist rushing over and teaching the Hualang people a lesson.

Therefore, the guards of the Frost Pass, one who avoided using the Hong system, and all chose relatively moderate generals. Just like this Yu Chengji, he was previously stationed on the border between Great Xia and Chuyue. The relationship between Daxia and Chu Yue can be regarded as the most harmonious. Apart from the barbarism between the two sides, there is hardly any other friction.

Yu Chengji was stationed on the Chu-Yue border for ten years, and his only war experience was in the last battle of He Chong's extermination of the mountain barbarians, leading the army to coordinate. However, he just waved his flag and shouted, led the army to surround the mountain, and did not really attack. The people He Chong used to fight and make meritorious contributions were all his descendants, and it was not the turn of people like Yu Chengji to go into battle.

In the frost pass, Yu Chengji had a headache.

The second young master of the Hong family is coming, he can't object, but he has also heard of Hong Ershao's notoriety, and he is not an easy master to serve. Hong Yu's formation of the Desolate Beast Cavalry Regiment is still a secret in Wudu City, and ordinary officials at most know that Hong Yu has a lot of Desolate Beasts in his hands.

The official document Yu Chengji received was to "cooperate" with Hong Yu and handle the diplomatic affairs of Hualang State. But he was very worried that the second young master of the Hong family was coming, so he turned "cooperation" into "obedience", and casually buried the 4,000 people under his command.

But if he doesn't cooperate, with Old Man Hong's influence in the military, his career as Yu Chengji will come to an end.

Yu Chengji had a sad face, seeing that Hong Yu was about to arrive, he had an idea and called the deputy general Shen Xun.

Shen Xun is not his cronies, on the contrary, he is still his opponent. Shen Xun is nine feet tall, he is the first fierce general in the Frost Pass, in his early thirties, he is already in the realm of the late stage of the Wupin Yuanding, he is a powerful general who followed He Chongjin to suppress the mountain barbarians, and after the war, He Chong sought the position of the deputy general of the Frost Pass for him, which made Yu Chengji very unhappy, and made it clear that he looked at the position below the general's buttocks!

And Shen Xun was not polite at all after he came, finding fault everywhere, but he was a person who had really been on the battlefield, and he was indeed stronger than him Yu Chengji in terms of marching and arranging. poked at his shortcomings every time, and Yu Chengji held back his anger and had nowhere to vent

When Shen Xun came to Yu Chengji's barracks, the room was full of medicinal smells. Yu Chengji lay on the hospital bed dying, and said weakly: "General Shen, the general suddenly fell ill and must go to Zuoyan City for treatment, and this frost pass can only be entrusted to you............ Cut the official document, it's all on the copy, you look at it. ”

Shen Xun was overjoyed in his heart, but his face was very "concerned" and asked about Yu Chengji's condition, Yu Chengji was worried that he would be blocked by Hong Yu in the Frost Pass, and coughed violently after a few perfunctory words, Shen Xun quickly said goodbye and left, and Yu Chengji immediately got into the carriage and left the Frost Pass.

At this time, Hong Yu was leading the army, standing on the mountain behind the Frost Pass, looking at the carriage on the mountain road that was winding like a twisting python below, and asked strangely: "There are all soldiers in the Frost Pass, and there are still people who ride horses instead of riding horses?"

Shen Xun took over the power of Yu Chengji and immediately convened the generals to discuss the military situation. Yu Chengji's cronies were a little puzzled, why hadn't they heard the general say this?

They couldn't bear it, but Shen Xun had already begun to command: "The first thing in front of me is that Hong Yu wants to send Hualang and needs to pass through our frost pass." ”

Shen Xun sneered, the frost pass is far away from Wudu, there are many things they don't know, and the official document sent by the Ministry of War is vague, Shen Xun relied on all the "inside information" he learned and combined with the official document of the Ministry of War, he took it for granted that Hong Yu was going to send Hualang to "ease" the tense relationship between the two countries.

This thing was provoked by Hong Yu, and it is also appropriate for him to pretend to be his grandson.

He sneered: "These gentlemen treat state affairs as child's play, and they think that they are flying and domineering in Wudu, and they will wipe their butts at home if something happens, this time they are dumbfounded, hum!"

The generals didn't speak, Hong Yu is Hong Shengri's grandson, what do they dare to say?

Shen Xun raised the official document of the military department in his hand: "The above asked us to cooperate with him, but Ben will never take the life of a soldier as a son, and if Hong Yu has any non-trivial requests, Ben will refuse them all! You all listen to me clearly, don't make your knees weak when you see a wealthy family coming from Wudu! We are soldiers, and we are the backbone of Daxia! We must have the backbone of a soldier! We must reject all unreasonable demands! This time, we must let this loser understand that there is still a group of backbone soldiers in Daxia! Do you understand?"

The generals look at me, I look at you, and bow down together: "Understand!"

Everyone came out of Shen Xun's room, and they all pouted: to put it soundingly, who doesn't know that you are He Chong's person, the He family and the Hong family have not been separated for a day or two, and the second child of the He family heard that he was abolished by Hong Yu...... You immortals fight, what do you care about our little ghosts?

When the generals came out, they all made up their minds, no matter how you fight, we won't mix at all, just protect yourself.

There was only one middle-aged general with a somewhat strange expression. He looked around and grabbed a companion who had just walked by: "Old Tan, come and sit down with me." "

Tan Bangdao saw that the old man had something to say, nodded, and the two returned to Lian Xinhou's residence together, Lian Xinhou sent his own soldiers out to guard the gate, and he and Tan Bangdao sat down and said, "Old Tan, you are almost forty, right?"

Tan Bangdao looked at him: "Nonsense, I'm one year older than you, don't you know yet? ”

Lian Xinhou nodded: "We are both old, and if we continue like this, we can only live in the Frost Pass for the rest of our lives." ”

Tan Bangdao is a little lost, the frost pass is the border pass, and it is extremely cold for most of the year for most of the year, and the literati have said that "the bitter cold land of the border plug" is almost like this.

Tan Bangdao and Lian Xinhou are both old men in the Frost Pass, but the two of them are not too qualified in cultivation, they are already almost forty years old, and they are still only in the late stage of the six-rank true quenching, and it seems that the five-rank Yuanding level cannot be passed. No matter how you look at it, neither of them has a future, so every frost guard is not very enthusiastic about wooing the two, even if they want to take refuge, people don't look down on them.

"Lao Lian, what do you want to say?"

Lian Xinhou was a little excited: "Don't you think this time is an opportunity for us to come out?"

"Opportunity?" Tan Bangdao didn't understand.

"Shen Xun, that idiot, thinks he is a snake on the ground, not to mention whether he is a snake or not, even if he is, but what kind of person is Hong Yu? What kind of existence is the Hong family? To us, the Hong family is a behemoth! Shen Xun mantis is more than a car blocker, and he actually wants to give the second young master of the Hong family small shoes to wear, he forgot who the old man Hong is? Even if he has some family support behind him, but he must not forget that we are soldiers, what kind of person is the old man Hong in the military? Supreme! At most, He Chong will go into the mountains to suppress the barbarians, but Old Man Hong is the character who fights against Di Rong, and that is the real military soul!"

Lian Xinhou's words made Tan Bangdao a little moved: "Are you saying that we helped Second Young Master Hong clean up Shen Xun, and then took refuge in the Hong family? But the Hong family, can you take a fancy to a little person like us?"

Lian Xinhou gritted his teeth and said: "Lao Tan, I decided to bet on this, otherwise this life will be like this, I am not reconciled!

Tan Bangdao hesitated for a moment, a fierceness flashed on his face, and he slammed his fist on the table: "It's done! People are hanging to death, how bad can it be compared to now? At least we have to fight for a future for our children and grandchildren!"

"Good!"
