Riding the Pheonix Chapter 419: Intention
"What does it smell like?"
Little White Snake said: "Just last time, we were at Tianshen Mountain..."
Tianshen Mountain? Being so far away from here, if the little white snake can smell it, this person must have lived there for a long time.
Mingwei thought, and a terrible thought came to his mind.
She looked up at the surrounding mountains, her brows tightening.
Ning Xiu had already left, but when he saw something was wrong with her, he came back: "What, is there something wrong?"
Mingwei pointed to the surroundings: "Sir, please look, if the surrounding snow collapses at this time, the end of our team will be buried."
"Yeah, what's the problem?"
There are so many of them that it is impossible to avoid them completely. Therefore, they chose a relatively safe route along the way. If an avalanche happened again, they could save the main force and quickly rescue and retreat.
Ming Wei said: "It stands to reason that if we warn in advance, there won't be much of a problem, but if someone deliberately triggers the left and right at the same time, we will lose some people."
Ning Xiu heard what she meant and frowned: "You said, there is someone?"
Mingwei nodded slowly.
Ning Xiu didn’t ask any more questions. He carefully observed the mountain top and said, “We’ll warn you immediately. It’s still too late.”
"Yeah."
Ning Xiu took out the fireworks and threw them up.
Yang Shu saw it over there and ordered: "Quick, tell General Zong to speed up and evacuate immediately."
Axuan responded and left.
Zong Xuxin was not suspicious. As soon as he said it, he ordered the rear to speed up.
After running only two or three miles, I heard a noise from above, and then a continuous rumbling sound. Everyone looked up and saw snow and mist flying, and large tracts of snow fell down, completely burying the path they had just walked, and even the sky was blocked by the snow.
Zong Xu was sweating.
If it had been slower, the next few hundred people would have been let in.
I couldn't help but secretly admire the abilities of those two people.
Where did this Yang San recruit the master? Although his status is awkward now, he is surrounded by many talented people. They say that people with good luck will attract talented people to invest. Could it be...
After thinking about it for a moment, Zong Xu quickly put the thought away and silently recited the Zong family's ancestral precepts in his heart.
The Zong family protects the country and is only loyal to the person on the throne, and must not get involved in the struggle for the throne.
After a while, Mingwei and Ningxiu came down.
They, together with Yang Shu, came to Zong Xu.
"General Zong, the avalanche just now was caused by humans." Mingwei got straight to the point.
Zong Xu was startled: "You mean, the person who led us out took action?"
Mingwei nodded: "As I expected, it has something to do with the Snow Wolf Department."
Zong Xu thought about it: "This is strange. Where can they spare their time now? They just went through a **** massacre internally, and now they are invading south. Are they too impatient?"
Yang Shu interrupted: "General Zong, from what I can see, their purpose is not to invade the south."
"What is that?"
Yang Shu said: "I have a relationship with Su Tu. He is a very determined person who is cruel to others and even crueler to himself. Now that he has just unified the eight tribes, he should deliberately drive the remaining tribes forward. Come and seize the city to fill the road for him."
Zong Xu followed his train of thought and thought for a moment, breaking out in a cold sweat: "This person is really cruel, how dare he take action in such a situation."
According to common sense, the eight divisions have just been unified, and now it is time to be gentle and recuperate. After a few years, the blood feud subsided, new warriors grew up, and it was never too late to plot another plan.
Who knew Su Tu had such a vicious personality. Not only did he not restrain himself, he also deliberately took advantage of the opportunity to exclude dissidents, drove the remaining troops who disobeyed him to the south, and used them to attack the city gates.
You must know that those barbarians are desperate and will risk their lives in order to seize a place to survive.
In this way, not only the remaining forces will be weakened, but Qi will also suffer losses, and he will reap the benefits.
"If so, the sudden rebellion of the Xirong tribes is also related to him?" Zong Xu speculated.
Mingwei shook his head: "We don't know this, but we can be sure that someone from Su Tu is watching us."
Zong Xu said: "In this situation, we have no way out. We can only go to Gravel Pass. Only by recapturing Gravel Pass in one fell swoop can we plan for the future."
The avalanche just now blocked their retreat. It can be said that their current situation is not good. There is Gravel Pass in front, and there is no way to retreat behind. The logistics have not kept up, and the marching rations brought are limited. There is no other way except to recapture Gravel Pass in one go.
But Zongxu is a famous general. Even if he is in such a situation, he still remains calm and makes the most appropriate decision.
The Qi army quickly finished resting and continued to set off.
Ming Wei spoke privately to Yang Shu: "I have an idea."
"What?"
"From the history I know, the Western Wei Dynasty should be established by the end of the year. Although it has not happened now, we can get a glimpse of Su Tu's thoughts from this matter. It seems that it is very likely that he did not give up and deliberately drove the remaining troops over. If he encourages Xirong to rebel again, it will consume the strength of Qi's defenders. If General Zong is tricked in this matter, the Northwest Army will suffer great losses. When the time comes, he will take the opportunity to establish the Western Wei Dynasty, and Qi will not send troops, so he will Can develop safely and steadily."
Yang Shu took a breath: "This is really a cruel person. ~IndoMTL.com~ This year, too many people in Hubu died. In this case, most people will choose to recuperate. Therefore, no one expected that Su Tu had such thoughts.
Since there are already corpses everywhere, it is better to suppress the Qi army in one go and establish the Western Wei Dynasty.
Ruthless, indeed ruthless.
"So..." Yang Shu looked at Zong Xu's back.
He didn't say the second half of the sentence, but Mingwei had already understood it.
"Not only did he arrange the reaction of the remnants of the Hu people, he was also able to incite the Xirong tribes, and he even predicted the reaction of General Zong..."
Yang Shu nodded heavily.
In other words, Zong Xu's visit was originally part of the strategy, and could even be said to be the highlight.
The influence of a famous general on the army is incalculable.
As long as Zong Xu is alive, with the shadow of his famous tree, the Northwest Army's military morale will surely be stable.
And if he dies, who can support the name of the Northwest Army?
Most of the men of the Zong family and his generation died in the battle, and the remaining few have mediocre qualifications and cannot shoulder the responsibility of commander. But Zong Rui is still young and has not grown up.
In this case, we can only let others be the commander-in-chief.
But the Zuo Army is known as the Zong Family Army. Needless to say, the Zong Family’s influence in the army? By then, the combat power will definitely decline.
"I'm afraid it will be a more difficult challenge if we go to the gravel slope." Yang Shu murmured.
Mingwei raised his head and observed the surrounding mountains.
"They want to plot against us, should we just wait like this? The mantis stalks the cicada, who knows there is no oriole behind."
"You want to fight back?"
Mingwei nodded: "Since they caused the snow, they must have left traces, and their whereabouts must be found."
