At this time... the sound of horse hoofbeats came, and the two Iron Shadow Guards who were exploring the road ahead ran back, saluted Yang Yuanqing and said: "Report to General, we have gone to check for nearly forty miles, and there is no ambush on the road, and there are ten
There is a small village a few miles away, and people in the village said that no troops have appeared in the past few days."
"Sir, this is a bit strange."
A stepped forward and said, "Is it possible that we made a mistake? The army in Lingqiu County has nothing to do with us at all?"
Yang Yuanqing shook his head, "No, that army must be the enemy that ambushed us. If I guessed correctly, this army should be behind us."
Su Lie, who had just stepped forward, was shocked, "How is this possible? They entered the valley half a day earlier than us, how could they be behind us?"
Yang Yuanqing's eyes narrowed, and he said slowly: "The reason is very simple, they know that we will inevitably retreat, and when we retreat, we will lose our vigilance.
Jiayi and Su Lie looked at each other and looked at Yang Yuanqing in confusion. What was the reason? Why did they go back?
Yang Yuanqing pointed to the Hebei section of the map, "I guess Dou Kang has already sent troops to wait for us in Feihu County, and the number will definitely not be small. Only then will the enemy troops who are following us be confident and cut off our retreat..."
At this point, Yang Yuanqing stopped talking and looked at his men who were surrounding him, and said with a wry smile: "In other words, we are actually blocked in the Flying Fox Road."
Everyone was silent, including Jiayi. For more than ten years, they had been accustomed to absolute obedience and never made decisions. They were all waiting silently for Yang Yuanqing's order. Even Su Lie was silent. He knew that his
Opinions are meaningless at this time.
Yang Yuanqing stood up and ordered to everyone: "Let's turn around and go back now!"
Just as Yang Yuanqing had judged, Xiao Mohe had just received news that Dou Kang, the general manager of Youzhou, had sent 15,000 troops to intercept Yang Yuanqing on the east side of the three passages of Jingxing, Feihuxing and Junduxing. Xiao Mohe changed his plan.
The general Xiao Mohe sent to besiege Yang Yuanqing was called Li Yaowu, and he was also one of Xiao Mohe's closest generals... He led a thousand soldiers from Jinyang and arrived in Lingqiu County half a day before Yang Yuanqing, just as he was preparing to enter Feihu Road to ambush him.
While Yang Yuanqing and others were waiting, he suddenly received an order from Xiao Mohe. He no longer needed to ambush Yang Yuanqing, but waited for Yang Yuanqing and his party to enter Feihu County to cut off his retreat.
The entrance to Feihuxing is called Gaojiayu. It is a low-lying rolling hilly area with dense forests. Less than ten miles away from Lingqiu County, it is actually a depression between two low hills. If it were not for the "Feihuxing" standing on the roadside,
No one would have thought that this shallow ditch was the entrance to Feihuxing.
At this time, Sun Yaowu led a thousand troops to camp at the entrance. It would be at least four or five days before Yang Yuanqing and the others were intercepted by the Youzhou Army and retreated. Shu Yaowu knew this very well, and he did not take it seriously.
Yang Yuanqing and the others only had twenty people in mind, while they had a thousand people. The difference in strength was huge.
In contrast, Li Yaowu paid more attention to Daizhou's army. Li Jing, the governor of Daizhou, was a hard role. If he knew that he had entered Daizhou, there would be interference.
The anti-anti-flag has not yet been completely raised, but everyone knows many things, which makes Yu Yaowu very nervous. Among all the states and counties in Bingzhou, Li Jing's state soldiers are the most powerful.
Night falls quietly, the moon rises, the night becomes pale and the dark shadows seem to dissipate, the air becomes transparent and warm, the moonlight shines on Feihuxing, coating the rocks and trees on the hills with a layer of silver,
Everywhere was clearly visible, and one could even distinguish the grass stems on the roadside. In the narrow open space between the hills and a small river, dozens of tents clearly stood.
In the woods on a hill a hundred steps away from the tent, Yang Yuanqing and his nineteen men were looking at a group of tents under the hill. Due to the narrow terrain, the tents were one next to the other, densely distributed in strips from north to south.
There were about fifty of them in total, and they were densely packed with spears at the north and south ends to prevent theft of the camp. However, there were no spears on the side facing the water or the side facing the mountain. On the one hand, they did not have such a large number of spears; on the other hand,
Their defensive awareness determines.
Yang Yuanqing was the best scout in the frontier fortress army. He could quickly find the flaws in the enemy's camp. He discovered the flaws in Yang Liang's army's camp at a glance. In fact, there was more spacious flat land on the other side of the river, but Yang Liang's army did not
They had no choice but to camp close to the mountains and rivers. This way of camping could only mean that the enemy they wanted to defend was to the west of the river. They should be the troops defending Daizhou, not themselves in Feihuxingzhong.
This also shows that Yang Liang's army never thought that he would turn around and return halfway, which gave Yang Yuanqing a countermeasure in his mind.
Yang Yuanqing waved his hand, and everyone gathered around.
Yang Yuanqing pointed to the military camp and said: "The opportunity is right in front of us. Let's kill directly from the hill. In order to fight against the enemy Yang Liang, what I'm worried about is Jian Kang, the general manager of Youzhou... If Yang Liang knows our mission,
He will definitely inform Dou Kang, Dou Kang already knows that we want to arrest him, will he still go ahead and arrest him?"
"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. You don't have to worry so much. I will naturally have a solution when we enter Youzhou."
Yang Yuanqing thought for a moment and then asked him, "Also, you can ask Director Zhong to send Gao Yiming's maids back and thank them properly."
Half an hour later, Yang Yuanqing led nineteen of his men to leave the village and headed north at lightning speed.
The interception of Yang Yuanqing and others at Jingxing Pass was Xiao Mohe's arrangement. Wang Yan, the guard of Jingxing Pass, was his confidant general. Xiao Mohe had also considered intercepting Yang Yuanqing and others just before Jingxing Pass.
After all, his purpose was not to kill Yang Yuanqing, but to use Yang Yuanqing to warn Yang Guang so that he could strengthen his defense and resist Yang Liang from entering Guanzhong. This was his real intention.
To this end, Xiao Mohe sent a caravan of forty-two scouts in disguise to search for and follow Yang Yuanqing and others. This scout team discovered Yang Yuanqing and his party in Qinzhou and followed them all the way. However, because Yang Yuanqing and others
The people were heavily defended along the way, making it impossible for them to attack, so Xiao Mohe decided to attack Yang Yuanqing and his party at Jingxing Pass.
In Qi Maha's Mansion in Taiyuan Prefecture, Xiao Maha sat on a soft couch and listened to the report of the scout leader in silence.
"General, we didn't expect that the other party would be so cunning. We had already arrived at Jingxing Pass, but suddenly turned north. This means that the other party had noticed that we were following us and changed their plans. We asked the general for instructions on our next step.
what to do?"
Xiao Mohe narrowed his eyes and was actually discovered. It seems that this Yang Yuanqing is still quite capable. He pondered for a moment and said: "You continue to follow, but I don't want you to take action. The people under Yang Yuanqing are very powerful. You are no match for them."
, I will arrange for others to go! Report any news to me at any time."
The scout leader agreed and retreated. Xiao Mohe thought about it again and said to the guard beside him: "Go and find Sun Yaowu for me immediately!"
Feihu Xing is a famous passage in the northern part of the Taihang Mountains and one of the eight passes in the Taihang Mountains. It is named after it crosses the Feigu Gorge. It starts from Lingqiu County in Hedong in the west and ends in Feihu County in Hebei in the east. The total length is more than 300 miles. Feihu Gorge is about 300 meters wide.
Several miles... There are deep ditches and dense forests, and the road is very complicated. It is the most important passage from Hedong to Youzhou besides Jingxing.
It was already mid-May, and the direct sunlight began to become a bit hot. In addition, it rained a few days ago, making Feihu Gorge extremely humid and muggy.
Yang Yuanqing and his party had already entered Feihu Road in the early morning and had only walked more than thirty miles in most of the day. At this time, they were walking on a rugged and narrow mountain road. They could not ride horses and could only lead the horses. Su Lie was walking in the middle of the group.
, he frowned and looked at the surrounding terrain. The mountain road was very narrow, only eight feet wide, with cliffs dozens of feet high on both sides. The narrow mountain road went all the way up. This cliff path was about five or six miles long, and there was a narrow top of the head.
A line of sky, if someone ambush in front, they will suffer heavy casualties.
Su Lie wanted to speak several times, but finally held back. Yang Yuanqing also thought of the dangers he could think of, and even thought about them more carefully than he did. Yang Yuanqing had been a scout for five years and had more experience than anyone else.
Not long after, everyone walked out of the cliff mountain road, and their eyes suddenly opened up. This is a flat land on the mountainside, covering an area of about two acres. Looking around, they saw mountains and lush forests, which made people feel like they were surrounded by mountains and rivers.
The feeling of magnificence.
"Everyone take a break!"
Yang Yuanqing waved his hand, and everyone sat down. There were only sixteen iron shadow guards here, and two others were sent to the front to perform tasks. The reason why Yang Yuanqing dared to move forward was because he sent two iron shadow guards in front.
The shadow guard explores the road and leaves marks along the way to indicate a safe journey.
Everyone found a place to sit down and rest, took out water hyacinths to drink, and fed the war horses with water bags. Yang Yuanqing sat in front of a flat stone, used a charcoal pen to draw a circle on the sky stone path, and then silently
Stare at the map in front of you.
He had already marked five circles on the map with a charcoal pen, which meant that they had passed five excellent ambush places, but they had not encountered any ambush.
This was something that made him feel very strange, because they had received news in Lingqiu County that an army of more than a thousand people had entered Feihuxing half a day earlier than them. He immediately guessed that this was most likely the army to intercept them.
, but why has this army not shown up yet? Moving forward, the dangerous area is under the jurisdiction of Youzhou. They will never ambush you on the border of Youzhou! What kind of medicine is sold in the opponent's Dianlu?
