Wu Nian talked a lot around the old man Chen Shantu's parents and family members, observing Chen Shantu's speech, behavior, and subtle changes in his expression, and gained a glimpse into this man's heart.

It wasn't until Wu Nian was convinced that he said to Chen Shantu: "Old man, since you have nothing to do at home, please come with me. I will break out tomorrow."

"This matter is serious. You are alone. If you are captured by the Mongolian soldiers on your way home and tortured by them, then I will be in great trouble."

Chen Shantu claimed that after the plague, he still had two sons and three daughters-in-law at home. The sons were brothers and sisters, and nothing important happened.

"Okay." Chen Shantu had a look of fear on his face, but after thinking for a moment, he gritted his teeth and nodded.

Wu Nian nodded, with admiration in his eyes. This old man had great courage to dare to come to the mountain alone to meet him.

Dare to risk your life and break out with him. This is no longer something that can be explained by courage. This is what the old man feels is the right thing to do even if it means risking his life.

Although along the way, many Han people in Liaodong were weak. Some people needed to be driven and beaten with whips in order to fight against the Mongolians.

Only then can we not be so-called obedient people.

But there are also warriors like the old man, and there are many, many.

Wu Nian called the soldiers to come in and told them to take the old man down and take good care of him. Then he took a deep breath and stood up, with a smile on his face.

God still treats me well. If I choose to break out from Hulu Valley tomorrow, I am afraid that all the more than 20,000 people on this mountain will be killed or injured.

I might be able to escape, but I'm afraid Beishan Fort can't be saved.

But God will not stop me, Chen Shantu brought news.

This mountain belongs to my Yanhan people, and the people living on this mountain are our Liaodong Han people.

This is my home court.

How could I be so easily surrounded and defeated by the four of you, Meng Yuan Ten Thousand Households?

Go and have the spring and autumn dream of special codes.

After putting away his thoughts, Wu Nian called to the soldiers again, went to invite Wang Gui and made a loud announcement.

Wu Nian sat and waited for a while. Wang Gui came in from outside with a loud voice. Wu Nian raised his right hand and said: "No need to be polite, sit down."

The two people who were about to salute immediately sat down as instructed, then looked up at Wu Nian, waiting for Wu Nian's explanation.

Everyone had discussed it before, but Wu Nian suddenly asked them to come back, which was really strange.

Wu Nian smiled and told the two of them what happened.

The faces of the two men changed drastically. The Meng Yuan people were ambushing themselves in Hulu Valley? If this is true, then if we send troops tomorrow, wouldn’t it be a sheep entering the tiger’s mouth?

But why did this incident happen to be seen by an old man? Is there any fraud involved?

"General, can this old man's words be trusted?" Wang Gui looked suspicious, raised his head and asked.

"Yes, General. This is too much of a coincidence. I think what this old man said is worthy of discussion." Zhang Sheng also nodded, with a look of suspicion on his face, just barely writing.

"I don't believe it" is the last three words left.

"I'm not 100% sure, but I'm probably 80% sure. I asked the old man's parents about the situation at home. Among other things, the old man had no idea about the date of his parents' death, the anniversary of their death, how old they were, and what they liked to eat during their lifetime.

It comes casually."

"This proves that the elderly care about their parents and are very filial."

"This is a virtue that only we Han people have."

"filial piety."

"The grassland people are different from the Mongolian people. When they are short of food, they will drive away their parents and elderly people and let them freeze to death or starve to death."

"And people generally believe that people who are filial to their parents are probably not bad. They may even be loyal people."

"Confucius said, among ten households, there must be a loyal person."

"Whether the Meng Yuan people are lying in wait in Calabash Valley? I can't confirm it. It's too late to send spies now, and it's just to scare the snake. But I believe in Chen Shantu."

While talking, Wu Nian took out a map and spread it on the ground. He pointed in another direction to a place called [Shi Valley] and said, "We will break out from here tomorrow."

Wu Nian did not present any evidence, but what he said convinced Wang Gui. They were also very proud, holding their heads high and their chests high, and their brows were high-spirited.

yes.

Only we, Yan Han, have filial piety and loyalty.

A person who is filial to his parents may not be a good person, but most likely he is not a bad person.

Chen Shantu, you can take a gamble.

"Yes." Wang Gui, who had no doubts in his voice, responded loudly and confidently. Then they discussed with Wu Nian the details of sending troops tomorrow, then clasped their fists, got up and left the tent.

When dinner started in the evening, Wu Nian invited Chen Shantu to have dinner with him.

That night, he washed up and went to bed early. The next morning, it was still dark.

The Huotou Army followed the military order and buried the pot to make rice. After Wu Nian got up to eat, the genius was just shining.

Before this, the direction from which to break out of the encirclement was a secret. Only Wu Nian, Wang Gui, and Zhang Sheng knew. At this time, the ordering soldiers passed on the direction of the breakout, so that everyone could be mentally prepared.

Afterwards, Wu Nian led two elite soldiers from Qianhu, wearing armor and riding horses, down the mountain first and headed towards the Shi Valley.

Wang Gui led two militiamen of one thousand households in the middle, and Zhang Sheng led two militiamen of one thousand households in the rear. Together with the common people, there were more than 20,000 people in the group, which was a mighty force.

Four generals from the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty pursued Wu Nian and blocked him at Huhai Mountain, but the encirclement had not yet been formed.

[Shi Valley] This direction is not empty of people, but there are very few Mongolian and Yuan troops. There are only two Mongolian and Yuan commanders nearby.

Wu Nian killed a lot of Meng Yuan captains. They were notorious for their ferocious reputations, and there were too many men and horses. The two Meng Yuan captains did not dare to stop them, and watched helplessly as Wu Nian left [Shi Valley] and walked away.

The first siege by Wanyanxian, Jin Ruiyun, Jinhuan Mountain, and Puguli, and Wanyanxian also planned an ambush in Hulu Valley to kill Wu Nian, failed.

Bad people.

It's an ordinary old man, Chen Shantu.

Near Hulu Valley, an extremely remote and inaccessible place. Wan Yanxian and his troops have been in ambush here for more than three days.

In order to hide, he asked the soldiers not to light fires and hid among the trees, waiting for Wu Nian to break out from this direction.

Because he drank raw water, the soldier suffered from diarrhea.

Not to mention mosquitoes. Although Wan Yanxian had mosquito repellent and it was effective when applied on his body, he also got many big bites and it was very itchy.

Such a hard-working ambush.
