Farmer of Shu Han

Every time Xu Miao was an official, he had outstanding political achievements, which was inseparable from his ability to understand the people's sentiments and investigate local customs.

It is precisely because of this that when he was the prefect of Longxi and Nan'an, he knew some old things: from Didao to Xiping, crossing the river through Huanghan, and then passing through the Qilian Mountain Pass from Xiping, you can go directly to Zhangye.

This road has been blocked for a long time because of the century-old Qiang Hu rebellion in Liangzhou, and it is seldom known by people.

But now that the Hu people in Xihai are fighting, who can guarantee that no Shu people will participate in it?

After all, with Feng Wenhe's reputation among the barbarians...

Thinking of the possibility of an army of Shu people suddenly appearing in Zhangye behind Wuwei, everyone fell silent.

No one dares to take this responsibility.

What's more, his eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

While Xu Miao increased his troops to Xiping, he also urgently mobilized the troops of the three counties of Zhangye, Jiuquan, and Dunhuang in the rear to prevent accidents.

Feng Yong, who was walking in the mountains south of Jincheng, suddenly raised his head and took a deep breath.

Then I sneezed several times "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh".

"One thought, two scolding and three colds, do I have a cold?"

Feng Yong tightened his clothes, but didn't feel any discomfort.

Walking in the mountains is shady and comfortable, except for being a little tired.

He looked ahead, only to see the green hills cut green, the green hills piled up with clouds, and the sounds of monkeys and beasts came from time to time.

The view is really nice.

In addition, the sun and the moon are not known to be long in the mountains, so you don't have to endure the scorching heat like outside. If you change the usual, it is also a good place for vacation.

It's just that he didn't come here to see the scenery, and these days, there are mountains and mountains, mountains and mountains, and the mountains are undulating.

Feng Yong's heart began to feel a little irritable and dull.

He couldn't help shouting: "Li Jian!"

"What are your orders, Your Majesty?"

Li Jian, who was dressed in simple clothes, quickly trotted up.

I saw that he had already changed out of the toga, which symbolizes the upper class, and imitated Feng Yongjun, tied up his leggings and tightened his sleeves to prevent poisonous mosquitoes.

"Ahead, how far is it?"

"Hurry up!"

Li Jian said quickly.

Feng Yong squinted at Li Jian.

Young man, your words sound familiar to me.

When I participated in the field trips of donkey friends, the leader often said "it's coming soon".

He also lied to me that it would be there just after turning the first corner, but he didn't tell me that it would take a day to turn that corner.

Fortunately, Li Jian didn't have the bad habits of the leader of his donkey friends in his previous life.

Although he hadn't walked this road, the Li family in Longyou sent two experienced old men.

Li Jian's most important job is to transfer everything that the family guide knows about this road to Feng Junhou.

It is enough for the grandson of the Li family to show up in front of Feng Junhou alone, but for the rest of the family, forget it.

The Dark Night Camp, who was exploring the way ahead, quickly sent news that after passing through this valley, you will reach the water stream that the guide of the Li family said, and follow this water to reach the big river.

"It's good to be here!"

Feng Yong was overjoyed when he heard this.

When you reach this river, it means that you have crossed this mountain range and walked along the river valley, which makes it much easier to walk.

Knowing that he was about to reach the first destination, Zhang Ni rushed up from behind, "Junhou, why don't you rest for a while? The mountain road is difficult, and the Modao team is carrying a heavy load, and the soldiers are easy to get tired."

Although there are guides, old roads, and front troops opening the way this time, it is not a flat land after all.

Even though the army is full of armor, the Modao team still has a heavy burden.

This trip brought 500 auxiliary soldiers, 300 were assigned to the Modao team, and 200 were assigned to the Tiger Army.

The Dark Night Camp and Wudang Camp are all self-supporting, without a single auxiliary soldier.

The only thing that is special is Feng Yong's personal guards, and there are a dozen Dian horses that are good at walking in the mountains.

Feng Yong looked at Zhang Yi with doubts in his eyes: Since we are almost here, why not go all out?

Zhang Yi understood Feng Yong's eyes, and only heard him whisper: "Your Majesty, that place is not only a resting place, but also directly reaches the big river, which means that Cao thief can easily go up the river."

"So why not let the soldiers rest for a while to recover their strength, so that the Dark Night Battalion will have time to investigate there?"

Feng Yong was startled, nodded, "That makes sense."

Although the Li family released all the third-generation grandchildren to follow him on this trip, they must make the most comprehensive preparations, but in everything, be careful, and you have to fight to survive for a long time.

After ordering the whole army to rest in place, Feng Yong found a place to sit down, and at the same time he sighed with emotion.

At this time, I am a bit like Deng Ai who smuggled into Yinping, except that I am walking on a mountain road with a guide, and it is still so difficult.

I don't know how that Deng Ai, who led the people to walk in Yinping no man's land, let the soldiers follow him when there was no guide and no way.

He was thinking in his heart when someone handed over a skin bag: "Master Shan, please drink water."

It was Zhang Yuan, the staff officer of the staff department.

Feng Yong took a look at the skin bag and was sure it was his own special water bag, so he opened it and took a sip.

"Muzhi, a few days ago, following Chief of Staff Gongsun, did you gain anything?"

Feng Junhou seemed very concerned about the student's growth.

"Go back to the mountain and grow, and you will gain!"

Zhang Yuan quickly stood up and answered.

"Sit, sit." Feng Yong stretched out his hand and pressed it, motioning him to sit beside him, "Tell me, what have you learned?"

Zhang Yuan sat down beside Feng Yong in a regular manner, his body stretched straight: "Mr. Gongsun said that you should read more when you have nothing to do."

"When formulating a battle plan, we must regard ourselves as a thief, so that we can think as much as possible that the thief will use methods to deal with us."

Feng Yong laughed happily after hearing these words.

Zhang Yuan looked at Feng Yong nervously, not knowing what he said wrong.

Feng Yong patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him: "Mr. Gongsun is right, you should ask him for advice after you go back."

Gongsun Zheng didn't come over this time, and stayed in Pingxiang to help with the affairs.

"Also, after this battle is over and I return to Pingxiang, I have a copy of Thirty-Six Strategies that I want to hand over to you. Remember to remind me when the time comes so that I don't forget."

After hearing this, Zhang Yuan stood up abruptly, his face flushed with excitement, "Student understands!"

There have long been rumors in the Nanxiang Academy that the head of the mountain came from an extraordinary background. What is taught in the school now is only the most basic knowledge in the teacher's school.

Only by becoming a direct student of the head of the mountain can you have the opportunity to learn more advanced knowledge.

Could it be... I am really like the characters in those biographical novels, meeting the legendary adventures?

Thinking of this, Zhang Yuan could only feel his blood rushing up one after another, and he could even hear the throbbing sound of his chest.

Even in the shady mountain forest, he still felt that his body was full of heat, and the heat even flowed to his fingertips, making him feel a little hot.

Feng Junhou didn't understand why this young man was so excited, he waved his hand, "Go, bring me the map."

Zhang Yuan responded, and quickly turned around to get the map.

Spreading out the map, Feng Yong took the pen handed over by Zhang Yuan, sketched some things on it, and filled in the blank area above.

His eyes, however, involuntarily fell on the South Silk Road from Didao to Zhangye. There was a circle drawn in the blank area in the north of Xiping County.

There is Qilian Mountain, which is also an area controlled by Qianghu.

Feng Yong secretly regretted: If the big man is strong enough now, he can directly lead the army through Huahan and enter Hexi, and then go straight to Zhangye, it may not be possible to win Liangzhou in a single battle.

After thinking about it for a while, he put away the map, handed it to Zhang Yuan, and waited for the news ahead.

Facts have shown that although it is a good thing to be careful, Feng Yong and the others seem to be a little too careful this time: there is news from the Dark Night Camp, and there is no suspicious sign nearby.

Although Wei Jun did not appear, Feng Yongfei did not relax, but became more careful.

Leading the army through the mountains was more difficult than expected, and more importantly, he might have lost touch with Wei Yan.

According to the time calculation, Wei Yan should have started to attack the city, but he was still staggering in the mountains.

But reaching this river means that he has already crossed this mountain range, and it will be much easier to walk down there.

The dark night battalion's search range is ten miles around. After confirming that it is safe, the army will continue to follow up, which also leads to a relatively slow marching speed.

However, Feng Yong's caution (fear of death) was rewarded, and the army traveled safely without any ambushes.

This situation continued until it was ready to go out of the mountain pass.

According to Li Jian, the mountain pass is the most dangerous place.

"Your Majesty, the Wei army is guarding the mountain pass."

Feng Yong lifted his spirits and looked at the captain of the Dark Night Battalion, "How many people are there?"

The more troops the opponent has, the better. As long as he holds back the enemies coming to aid from Jincheng and Liangzhou, he will be considered as having completed the mission.

In addition, when he led the troops out of Longxi, there was a lot of fanfare, and there was a lot of movement. It seems that the guards in Hexi have already notified Jincheng.

Anyway, in this mountain, if you set up more flags and beat more military drums, it is easy to cause bluffing.

Therefore, the opponent did not dare to attack lightly until he found out his true strength.

What's more, his own Dark Night Camp and Wudang Camp have advantages over each other in the mountains and forests.

"There is only one small camp. Judging by the size, there may be two or three hundred people, or there may be only a hundred or so. It doesn't look like a lot of people."

The captain of the Dark Night Battalion also looked puzzled, as if he didn't understand why Wei Jun only deployed so few troops in such a dangerous place.

Feng Yong almost choked.

His eyes widened, "Two or three hundred people? Are you sure? Could there be an ambush?"

Encountering this situation, Feng Yong subconsciously felt cheated.

The old man made such a big noise in Hedong with great fanfare, as long as he is not blind, he can see it. How could Jincheng be unprepared?

This unscientific!

The unexpected situation made Feng Yong a little uncertain.

"Go, call all the generals."

Feng Yong instructed Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yiju and Jiang Wei received Feng Yong's order, and they quickly gathered together.

After learning about the situation at the mountain pass ahead, several people showed surprise on their faces.

"Tell me what's on your mind." Feng Yong said with a frown, "The situation is really weird! Tsk, it's really better to change quickly than to plan."

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, Zhang Yi was the oldest, and immediately asked first: "Your Majesty, is this true?"

"The most dangerous thing in this valley is the hills on both sides. It is abnormal that the Cao bandits are not stationed on the hills now."

Feng Yong squatted down, took stones and branches and made a show, "If we occupy the hills on both sides, we can attack from a high position."

"Even if we don't attack, we can still defend from the heights. The Cao thief can only look up and sigh, so why is the Cao thief guarding Jincheng so unwise?"

This journey has been smooth and smooth, and I haven't even encountered the enemy's sentry, which is a very strange thing in itself.

Feng Yong didn't believe that the opponent's scouts were so powerful. While escaping the detection of the Dark Night Camp, they didn't even leave any clues behind.

This strange feeling reached its climax when preparing to leave the valley.

Why do I have the feeling that the guard of the Golden City is our senior spy, trying to cooperate with our own actions, trying to find ways to make my journey unimpeded.

This feeling is just too ridiculous.

Jiang Wei looked at the two stones and a few branches on the ground, and couldn't help but whispered: "Your Majesty, could it be that the Cao thief didn't expect us to come over the mountain at all, so that's why he was unprepared?"

Several people looked at Jiang Wei, making this young general who was leading the army for the first time feel a little restrained.

"How could the bandits Cao in Hexi not know about it with great fanfare?"

Ju Fu disagrees with this statement.

Jiang Wei hesitated to speak.

Feng Yong noticed his expression, and said, "Boyue doesn't matter what he said, I asked you to come here to listen to your opinions."

Encouraged by Feng Yong, Jiang Wei continued, "The Hexi Cao bandits know that the Marquis led the army out of Longxi, but they may not know where the Marquis has gone, unless they cross the river to check."

"Your Majesty asked Taishou Chen and General Liu to protect me and wait for the rear. If the two generals defended well, so that the Cao thief could not find out the situation on the east bank, how would the Cao thief know where the Junhou led the army?"

This time, even Zhang Yi shook his head: "Even if the thief Cao has no way to send troops east across the river, at least he can secretly send sentries to investigate. How could he stick to the west of the river?"

"More importantly, how to explain the bandits outside the valley?"

Wei Jun did not send anyone to guard the valley, but sent dozens of people to garrison on the flat ground outside the valley, which is really weird.

Jiang Wei was at a loss for words for a moment, his face was slightly flushed.

"After ruling out all possibilities, the most absurd inference may be the correct answer."

Feng Yong did not clearly support whose opinion, but just said something that no one could understand.

Then he took a branch and tapped the two stones at his feet, "Whether Thief Cao really has no intention of guarding the mountain pass, you just need to try it out. Who will take down these two mountain tops?"

As long as he occupies these two hills, he will be considered invincible, no matter what schemes he has.

Ju Fu and Jiang Wei said at the same time: "The last general asks for his order!"

Zhang Yi didn't speak, he believed that the Modao team was fighting head-on in front of the formation and was not afraid of anyone.

But if it's something like capturing the top of the mountain, it's not the leader of the Modao team.

"Okay, that general will lead the Wudang Camp to Dongshan, and General Jiang will lead the Tiger Army to Xishan."

Feng Yong responded to the two's invitation to fight, and at the same time instructed, "Although the Dark Night Camp has inspected the hills on both sides, they have not fully inspected the outside of the hills. You should be careful."

"promise!"

Feng Yong looked at Zhang Ni again: "General Zhang, when the two generals lead the army to occupy the mountain, you should stay in the valley and set up camp just in case."

Zhang Ni clasped his fists together: "Follow your orders!"

"You have to remember, if there is really no Cao thief at the mountain pass, you should lower your drums and lay down the flag first, and let the soldiers wait quietly, so as not to disturb the Cao thief outside."

After Feng Yong issued the military order, he glanced intentionally or unintentionally at a corner in the distance, where a few handymen were sitting and resting.

Ah, very good.

The operation to occupy the mountain was smoother than expected.

The strange feeling that the other party has a senior undercover agent of our army resurfaced in Feng Yong's heart again.

After his side easily occupied the commanding heights, Feng Yong climbed to the top of the mountain, raised his binoculars to observe the valley, and saw an official road several miles away.

There were no people on the official road, and there was a small camp beside the road.

What is even more weird is that the gate of the opposite camp is not facing the direction of the valley.

This shows that the other party seems...as if...he is not guarding Yamaguchi at all!

After confirming this, Feng Yong's heart pounded: "Could it be that I have a hidden Ouhuang physique?"

Thinking of grabbing a red envelope in his previous life, where others received ten yuan and himself only one tenth, Feng Junhou suddenly felt tears welling up in his eyes.

I want to be Deng Ai!

Feng Yong turned his head and told Zhang Yuan: "Go, call me the people from the Dark Night Camp!"

The captain of the Dark Night Battalion came over quickly.

"That camp, at night, you take it away from me!"
