Three hundred and ninetieth chapters the enemy's road is narrow
The general marching to the south is brave and brave, with a Qishui Yanfei saber across his waist.
The wind blows, the mountains and rivers move, the lightning flashes and the flags rise high at the sun and the moon.
There is a species of unicorn in the sky, but how can the ants in the cave escape?
On the day when the imperial edict comes back in peace, I will take off my shirt with my husband.

…
At the end of the seven-day retreat, Bai Fu walked out of the house. He felt the sun was dazzling and the air was fresh. The general trend of the world was clear to his mind, and he only needed to strategize and control it!
Bai Fu studied the art of war with Master Zhongsi, and he knew that these intelligence and resources were more valuable than thousands of troops. With the strong support of the Sichuan Gang, the Tang Clan, and the Bashu Family, he no longer fought alone.
The stronger the ability, the heavier the responsibility. This time he steps out of the land of Bashu and shoulders a mission. He will say goodbye to his identity as a knight-errant who enjoys revenge and becomes a famous general who charges on the battlefield and kills decisively!
A clear strategic map gradually formed in Bai Fu's mind. He must follow the map and live up to the last instructions of his two masters, Master Qingxuan and General Zhongsi.
…
Jiang and Tang were sitting in the main hall, smiling.
Consultant Tang said: "There are roughly three routes to quelling the rebellion out of Shu. We would like to hear your thoughts:
The first way is to leave Shu from Chencang and rush to Lingwu. Prince Li Heng has ascended the throne in Lingwu and is short of major generals. If you defect to the new king at this time, you will have the merit of supporting him. General Zhongsi has always been on good terms with Suzong.
Coupled with your relationship with Suzong, you will definitely be reused. If you regain the two capitals in the future, you will rise to the top in one step and become a very popular minister.
The second route is to go down the Yangtze River from Yuzhou to Yiling, then go north to Xiangyang. In Xiangyang, I will assist you, Uncle Xu, in establishing a transshipment hub for grain and grass supplies, transporting grain and wages from the Jianghuai area to Hanzhong, and supporting Shuofang Army and other Tang armies.
The third road also goes down the Yangtze River from Yuzhou. After reaching Jiangdu, it goes north along Hangou, along Tongji Canal, Yongtong Ji Canal, and reaches Zhuojun.
The Shuofang Army led by General Li Guangbi will pass through Jingxing at any time and attack Youzhou. You can follow Li Guangbi's army and fight bloody battles on the battlefield.
These three options all have pros and cons, so Uncle Jiang and I would like to ask for your opinion."
Bai Fu's eyes shone with desire, and he clasped his fists at Jiang and Tang: "Master Zhongsi taught me the art of war in the hope that I can show off my skills on the battlefield. If I can't kill the enemy on the battlefield, I will be unworthy of Master Zhongsi's last instructions."
Jiang and Tang looked at each other, quite pleased.
Jiang Yinnong said: "When your master, Master Qingxuan, was still alive, he once told me: No matter the martial arts or the imperial court, from ancient times to the present, no hero has been cultivated, but has been tempered by himself.
This sentence is still fresh in my memory.
Among the three paths, you have chosen the most bitter and difficult one. As the saying goes, fine steel is refined a hundred times, and a general fights a hundred battles! From a soldier to a general, fighting and killing, and narrowly escape death, it is extremely difficult.
Only armor that has been weathered and stained with blood is worthy of becoming a god!
I hope that after the baptism of war, you can become who you are in your heart!"
Finally, Jiang Yinnong took out a gold medal with a beautiful texture. One side was engraved with the mountains of Bashu, and the other side was engraved with the great rivers. As the saying goes, the sky is high and the water is long in Bashu!
Jiang Yinnong said: "Fu'er, this is the Order of Shushan, the highest token of each sect in Shu. With this gold medal, you can mobilize all the resources of various sects in Bashu in various parts of the Central Plains. Be sure to keep it close to your heart!"
…
Bai Fu, Jiang, Tang and other Sichuan gang members reluctantly said goodbye and headed to Yuzhou alone, preparing to go down the Yangtze River.
Li Xuexuan insisted on sending Bai off for a journey. Two people and four horses galloped towards Yuzhou under the starry night.
…
On the way that day, Bai and Li were resting at a tea stall in the bamboo forest. Suddenly they saw smoke and dust billowing on the official road, and a group of Tang Army cavalry galloping past.
When Bai Fuyun took a look, he saw that it was Yong Wang Li Lin who led the Tiger Army and marched for 800 miles.
Bai and Li looked at each other, put down their tea money, and followed Hu Ben's army from a distance.
…
Huben's army came to a post station called "Tianfu Guan Post Station". This post station was an important post station for Fuzhou and Qianzhou to transmit messages to the north.
The post station is located on a hillside, overlooking the green peaks and mountains. An army of about a thousand people is stationed at the post station.
A huge tiankeng is vaguely visible on the southern slope of the post station. A long arrow stack has been built around the tiankeng. Next to the arrow stack, there is a post every three steps and a sentry every five steps. There is a soldier in armor on each side, holding a crossbow and aiming at the bottom of the pit.
.
Next to the arrow stack, in addition to the traditional stone rolling logs, there is a small trebuchet aimed at the bottom of the pit every fifty steps. Next to the trebuchet are huge rocks and kerosene barrels.
The tiankeng is as tightly guarded as the Lihentian Prison in Zhongnan Mountain, which is eye-catching. This also aroused Bai Fu's curiosity, who is being imprisoned under this tiankeng?
Bai Fu learned from Yu Wenba's incident and deliberately concealed his identity. He and Li Xuexuan knocked out two patrol sentries, put on soldiers' armor, put on Tangmen human skin masks, and slowly approached the sinkhole with long spears and knives.
Just hearing the sound of a drum, Yong Wang Li Lin led the Tiger Army to appear on the edge of the sinkhole. There was a huge winch here, and a thick rope was tied to a hanging basket the size of a water tank, which could lead to the bottom of the sinkhole.
A man who looked like an eunuch sat in the hanging basket holding the imperial edict. The wheels turned and slowly lowered the eunuch down. Yongwang Li Lin stared nervously at the bottom of the pit, restless.
After about half an hour, the hanging basket slowly rose. The eunuch walked out of the hanging basket and whispered a few words next to Yongwang Li Lin.
After hearing this, Yong Wang Li Lin rushed to the edge of the sinkhole and shouted to the bottom of the sinkhole: "Old Dragon King, I am the younger brother of the current emperor. I have been ordered to take back the items that belong to our Li Tang royal family.
If you know your duty, then let it go; if you refuse to hand it over, I will let your soul return to the west today!"
A deep sigh came from the bottom of the pit, and it turned out to be the voice of an old woman: "Li Longji is shameless and broke his oath. Are his children and grandchildren also shameless?"
Young people don’t go to protect their families and the country, and expand their territory, but they come to rob my old man’s things. The Li family is not as good as the last generation, and it is really getting worse and worse!”
After hearing this, King Yong Li Lin was furious. He waved his hand, and the armored soldiers guarding the arrow stack, holding crossbows, aimed at the bottom of the pit and fired thousands of arrows.
"Swish, swish, swish", I heard the sound of machine guns everywhere, and powerful arrows shot into the bottom of the pit like a shower of flowers. I heard screams from the bottom of the pit, and there must have been more than ten people hit by arrows.
King Yong Li Lin looked ferocious and shouted: "If you don't hand it over, you will all be destroyed!"
I only heard the Buddha's call from the bottom of the pit, saying: "Amitabha, how happy is life, how painful is death, at worst we will go to the Western Paradise together today."
The donor is so vicious, if the treasure is handed over to you, countless people in the world will die!
Amitabha!"
Li Lin became angry and saw that the effect of the arrows was not obvious. He gave an order and ordered the armored soldiers to smash the stone and rolling wood next to the arrow stack into the bottom of the pit. At the same time, he started the trebuchet and threw the huge rocks and barrels of kerosene into the bottom of the pit.
.
There were loud rumblings at the bottom of the pit, thick smoke billowing, blazing flames, and the sound of houses collapsing and people screaming.
