Although it is only a remnant, the mountains are looping and the roads are winding and winding.
In a valley that is so narrow that only one person can pass through, a team of a hundred people is walking slowly through mountains and rivers.
Liu Bian was terrified. Once an ambush was set up here, none of them in the narrow passage would be able to survive. After all, the mountain was too dangerous.
"Where are we?"
After walking for a full three hours, I was still wandering around the valley, surrounded by giant trees. At a glance, I felt as if I was in the middle of nowhere, and a drama of survival in the wilderness was being staged.
"Your Highness~~"
Zhang Liao quickly walked up to him, took out the sketch drawn by Xun Yu from his arms, looked around, and made calculations in his mind.
a long time.
He finally took a breath and pointed to a certain place on the map: "According to our foot strength, we should be here. I'm afraid it will take another hour to reach Benshan Pass."
Four hours!
It actually took four hours of long journey to reach this small city pass.
In addition, the road is rugged and difficult to navigate. Once discovered, the entire army may be annihilated.
No wonder this small city gate was submerged in the torrent of history, leaving no trace.
Phew~~~
Liu Bian was panting heavily and sweating all over from exhaustion.
Although, under the guidance of fitness experts, Liu Bian's physical strength has greatly improved.
But if you want to keep up with the army's trek during wartime, it is still far behind.
"Your Highness~~"
Zhang Liao asked tentatively: "Should we take a rest where we are?"
Liu Bian raised his head and looked up at the sky. The sun was sinking to the west: "No need. It's already a little late to start today. Resting in the middle will only waste time. It's better to hurry up and hurry up. It won't be too late to rest after arriving at the designated place."
"But Your Highness..."
Zhang Liao said with concern: "Can your body hold up?"
Liu Bian took a deep breath and exhaled slowly: "You can hold on, why can't you alone? Keep going, you can't ruin the entire raid plan just because you are alone."
Zhang Liao was shocked.
He didn't seem to expect that such words would come from a prince's mouth.
Even He Jin, the great general at that time, might not have had the perseverance of King Hongnong when faced with this kind of situation.
amazing!
Really amazing!
Zhang Liao sincerely admired him: "In this case, Your Highness must be patient."
Liu Bian smiled lightly and raised the corners of his lips slightly: "I have learned nothing in Luoyang for so long, but I have learned to be patient. General Zhang, don't worry, I will be fine."
Zhang Liao solemnly raised his hand and said, "Your Highness, I have worked hard."
Immediately.
He waved his hand: "Continue marching."
Hula~~~
The team of hundreds of people continued to move forward.
They walked through the quiet forest, stepped over the thick dead leaves, and crossed the trickling stream.
finally!
An hour later.
Arrive at the designated forest.
Looking through the gap in the woods, there is a city gate made of stone and bricks sandwiched between two hills.
The scale of this city gate is indeed not very large. It is only four or five feet long by visual inspection. There are only four people standing on the top of the city wall, but they are still chatting in pairs, not taking defense seriously at all.
"God is really helping me!"
Zhang Liao smiled nonchalantly, turned around and cupped his hands towards Liu Bianyi: "Your Highness, if you stay here, the battle will be over in less than half an hour."
"good!"
Liu Bian was overjoyed.
Since there is someone to do it for you, why bother to take action yourself: "Then I will just wait for the general's good news."
Zhang Liao raised his head and said sonorously: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will leave soon."
Liu Bian nodded: "Well, let's make arrangements."
Immediately.
Zhang Liao turned around and left, greeting: "Zhang Zhen, bring your people over here."
Zhang Zhen responded loudly: "Here."
"Let's...understand?"
"clear."
"Let's get ready to go."
"Here."
At this moment, the voice of the Military Advisor Alliance sounded: "Master Bian, Zhang Liao is indeed a great general. Even for such a small task, the arrangements are still watertight."
"Before, the Military Advisor Alliance was still worried about the survival of this army after we left, but now it seems that it may not be impossible for Zhang Liao to survive alone, but it will be better to have Xun Yu assist him."
Liu Bian thought: "Well, Zhang Liao is indeed a talented general with both civil and military skills. He not only leads troops well and is highly praised by Xun Yu, but his key IQ is also very online, making him very easy to use."
"There will definitely be no problem in this battle."
"but......"
Liu Bian turned to ask: "Teacher, when I arrive in Nanyang, should I go directly to the Deng family? Or should I go to the remnants of the He family first? It seems that the Deng family is easier, after all, Xun Yu's handwriting is there
.”
The Alliance of Military Advisors replied: "Today Bianye entered Nanyang through Benshanguan Pass. I think Niu Fu's people will know about it soon, and the other party will definitely look for you even more frantically."
"The He family is the best breakthrough point for them. Not only will they have a wanted order for you, but they will even search for you secretly. We must not be careless."
"So the experts from the Military Advisor Alliance suggest that it is best for us to avoid its influence for the time being. Instead of looking for the remaining power of the He family, go straight to the Xinye Deng family and use the handwriting of Deng Zhan and Xun Yu as a breakthrough point to look for good opportunities."
"Um."
Liu Bian nodded secretly: "It's actually the same as what I thought. After all, Li Ru only knew that I came to Nanyang to find the power of the He family, but he didn't know that I also had the direction of the Deng family."
"So their main force must be concentrated on the He family. Instead, they will relax their vigilance for other places outside Wan County. For me, it is actually safer to look for the Deng family."
The Military Advisor Alliance said: "Master Bian is really becoming more and more mature, and he thinks about problems much more carefully than at the beginning. This is a good sign. In the future, we should think more and find experts when we can't figure things out. Let's make progress together."
"Um!"
Liu Bian was overjoyed: "Thank you, expert."
Just as Liu Bian was communicating with the Military Advisor Alliance.
suddenly.
There was a loud scream outside the forest.
Liu Bian looked around hurriedly.
However, more than a dozen soldiers were seen carrying a log made of several thick tree trunks tied together. Under the cover of shield soldiers and crossbowmen, they rushed towards the city gate hole desperately.
Zhang Liao followed from the center, holding a hard bow with an ox horn, stretching the full moon, aiming at the soldiers at the top of the city.
Whoosh~~
A sound broke through the air.
The sharp arrowheads roared out in an instant, passed over the stone city, and knocked down the soldiers who were preparing to burn the city. They fell to the bottom of the city on the spot and died.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Then, a dull crash sounded. Benshan Pass had been in disrepair for a long time. Although the city gate was large, it was already dilapidated. It only took seven or eight hits before the door opened wide and half of the door panel crashed to the bottom.
"Kill~~~"
Zhang Liao gave the order.
Zhang Zhen, the pioneer, dropped the wood, picked up the Huanshou sword, and rushed straight into the city.
Wuyangyang's soldiers and horses filed in, and launched the final cleansing and massacre of the soldiers in the city.
"Your Highness, we can go."
Deng Zhan on the side raised his lips slightly, smiled lightly and held his hands.
"Um."
Liu Bian was even more calm and calm, with no ripples of surprise on his face.
After all, there was no suspense in this battle to begin with.
He stood up slowly and walked out of the forest. General Zhang Liao had just left the city pass and came quickly: "Your Highness, we have killed all the soldiers and horses. You can enter the pass with confidence. Zhang Zhen will protect you."
Zhu Tong and Shi A protect Tang Ji and Tang Qian.
Liu Bian took Wang Yun, Deng Zhan, Zhang Zhen and some guards and sneaked into Nanyang.
"Thank you for your hard work, General."
Liu Bian nodded: "Quickly clean up the battlefield, and before it gets dark, rush to the predetermined location to meet Wen Ruo. Remember to communicate with Wen Ruo when Gu is away, and help Gu keep an eye on him. Understand Well?"
Zhang Liao smiled lightly: "The general will finally understand!"
Liu Bian hummed: "In that case, I will leave."
Zhang Liao personally sent him outside Benshan Pass:
