When I came down from the dam, light snow began to float in the sky.
The general rode on a horse, and a dozen night crows followed behind, towards Yuansongshan.
For every hill to be used as a stronghold, the general will go up to the hill to check the terrain personally, so that he knows it well.
The topography of each hill is different, and the fortifications to be built will naturally be different.
Only knowing the terrain can we better plan defenses.
From the very beginning, the general was mentally prepared for the possible war in Xiling. It was impossible for the war with the Wutuo people to confront them head-on, and they would never engage in a main decisive battle prematurely.
For more than ten years, even though he has been inside the pass, the general has been studying the next battle in Xiling all the time.
In the next war, when the main force of the Tang army cannot advance westward, the only choice is defense.
With the help of the favorable terrain of Xiling, they are deployed into strong defensive strongholds one after another, forcing the Wutuo cavalry to engage in mountain warfare that they are not good at, thus consuming the morale and strength of the enemy.
The Wutuo people invaded Xiling, Fanjun evacuated the people, and made the walls clear.
In that battle, the Wutuo people looted the grain and grass on the spot after invading Xiling, and the generals certainly did not allow this to happen.
The Wutuo people cannot get grain and grass from Xiling, so they can only transport it from the back to the front. This forces them to ensure the safety of their grain roads, and the strongholds on the hills along the way have become the Wutuo people have to The goal of clearing, otherwise the logistics food road will always be in danger.
The general's purpose is to force the Wutuo people to use their weaknesses to deal with the advantages of the Xiling people.
This is also the only opportunity to force the Wutuo people to return without success.
"Any news from Qin Xiao?" the general asked suddenly.
Mencius Mo's face immediately showed worry, and he shook his head and said, "He left the grain depot that night. Since then, there has been no news. Chang Yu sent people to look for it in the city. No trace, and his whereabouts are still unknown. ."
"The child is not someone who doesn't know the severity." The general frowned slightly: "Leaving duty without permission, the guilt is not light. If he really encounters any difficulties, he will not leave quietly."
Mencius said in words: "He left the granary that night, there must be a compelling reason. But he never returned, it is likely that something big has happened." Full of worry: "Although he is smart, but he doesn't know the sinister heart. , I just hope that he will turn good luck in the bad, don't...don't really have anything to do."
After a period of silence, the general said: "It seems that Yuwen Chengchao has not heard from him."
"Not yet." Mencius said: "But the first group of Yuwen family who migrated into the Pass should be coming to Jiayu Pass. The most worried thing before is that the assassination of Changyihou will affect the Yuwen family's migration and entry. It doesn’t have much impact."
The general said: "It was Tang Wuhen, the deputy commander of Langqi who ambushed Old Master Yuwen. However, the whereabouts of this person and his family in Guicheng have been unknown. Yunong has surveyed the scene, and there is no one in Tang Wuhen's home. There are traces of fighting, so there are two possibilities. Either Tang Wuhen returned to Guicheng and took away his family, and the other possibility is even greater, that is, Yuwen Chengchao took control of Tang Wuhen’s family and held him back. Tang Wuhen."
"Holding Tang Wuhen?"
"Old Master Yuwen was murdered, it is naturally impossible for Yuwenchengchao to give up." The general said: "Tang Wuhen led people to an ambush, and he naturally knows who instigated him. Yuwenchengchao wants to speak from Tang Wuhen. Find out the real murderer and find the man behind the scenes, so that you can avenge the Lord Yuwen.
"
Mencius wrote: "Previously, notices were posted on the streets and alleys of Guicheng City, and the responsibility for the murder of the old man Yuwen was placed on the head of the general. Does the general think that Yuwen Chengchao will believe it?"
"If Yuwen Chengchao can interrogate the real murderer from Tang Wuhen, he will surely get rid of him at all costs, which is of course beneficial to us." The general said, "But if Yuwen Chengchao firmly believes that the murderer is I, naturally, will hide in secret, looking for opportunities to make trouble."
"The Yuwen clan has begun to migrate into the customs." Mencius said in ink: "Their wealth has also been donated, the tiger ride has been reorganized, and Yuwen Chengchao has no money in his hands, even if he is really deceived, I can't get over any big storms."
The general shook his head and said, "Don’t underestimate Yuwen Chengchao. The Xiling family rested and lived on this land for hundreds of years. The roots are deeply rooted. It is by no means as simple as it seems on the surface. This time, since some people want to frame us for killing The Lord Yuwen shows that there is a force here secretly making chaos. Their purpose of doing so is not only to make Xiling's great families separate from us, but also to make the people of Xiling feel dissatisfied with us."
"Who is behind this?" Mencius's expression was solemn.
The general looked forward, also thoughtful.
When the general mentioned Yu Wen Chengchao, Yu Wen Chengchao was sitting cross-legged on a futon in a dimly lit room. In front of him, he placed a spiritual card, covered with a black cloth towel. It is the spiritual position of Old Master Yuwen.
The dark room is deadly silent.
Yuwen Chengchao closed his eyes tightly and sat cross-legged in front of his spiritual position, like a stone carving.
After a long time, the door creaked and opened a gap, and then slowly walked into a figure through the gap, turned around and closed the door, and walked gently behind Yu Wencheng.
"Everything is ready." The visitor whispered: "Cheng Chao, have you made a decision?"
Yuwen Chengchao finally opened his eyes, looked at the spiritual position in front of him, was silent for a long time, and finally said: "I have decided, and I should do my best."
"Okay." Lai Ren said: "If you make the final decision, then everything is as we planned, each performing its own duties."
Yuwen Chengchao did not look back, but just asked: "Have you decided on your plan from the beginning? Or, I was just an accident?"
"You want to know, I can tell you." Humanity said: "This plan has indeed been discussed for a long time, and every step has been carefully deployed. Just in case, the people involved in this plan do Not many, but each one is extremely important." After a pause, the man walked to the side chair and sat down and said softly: "In fact, at the beginning of the plan, we really hope to include you, as long as you The existence of this plan is foolproof."
"Then why didn't you let me join from the beginning?"
"Because we can't take risks." The man calmly said, "We can't grasp the attitudes of you and your father. Once you think differently from ours and your plans are known to you, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Yu Wen Chengchao's voice is low: "Your worry is indeed reasonable." After a pause, he said: "Then why at the end, let me join?"
"Because our interests are ultimately the same." The humanity said: "Maybe you still had a glimmer of hope and illusion before, but the current facts should always make you sober. Cheng Chao, no one can save you , And no one can save me. If there is a last hope, you can only rely on yourself."
"You should know that this time we only have to walk on this one
Road, never look back. "Yuwen Chengchao said calmly.
"Look back?" The man chuckled, stood up, walked to the door, and said word by word: "I can't turn my head a long time ago." Without saying more, he opened the door and went out.
Yu Wencheng looked at the spiritual position, suddenly stretched out his hand, picked up a big knife on the ground in front of him, raised his arm, crossed the knife in front, then held the handle of the knife, "choked", and pulled out the knife. The light flickered and the chill was pressing.
A horse galloping on the snowy road.
Qin Xiao grabbed a horse from Kunlun Pass, and dozens of cavalrymen from the pass followed in close pursuit.
Fortunately, Qin Xiao worked hard at Baihuying to practice horse skills, and his ability to steer horses has long since been different.
Furthermore, Qin Xiao grabbed the horse at night, and the chasing soldiers had a bad sight, but it took several hours to throw away the chasing soldiers behind.
He didn't dare to stay.
The horse kept running until dawn the next day, only to find that he had already deviated from the mainland in the pursuit of the chasing soldiers. Fortunately, he met two hunters on the way and asked about the direction of Heiyang City, and then he continued to attack Heiyang City. Row.
It's just that the snow on the road is too thick, and the horse can't run too fast.
At dusk, people were sleepy and horses were exhausted. Qin Xiao saw a forest beside him. Then he rode into the forest, rolled over and got off the horse, dragging Yin Bupo on the horse back.
The food he brought with him was placed on another horse at the entrance of Cong. The situation was urgent at the time. The horse from the frontier army was taken, but there was no food. He ran down in one day, although he was a little hungry. Supported, but the horse hadn't eaten for a day, and after running for a whole night, it looked very tired.
Yin Bupo struggled to sit up, leaning on a big tree, and saw Qin Xiao grabbing two snow plugs from the ground, and did not speak, but looked at Qin Xiao with a strange expression.
Qin Xiao ate two mouthfuls of snow, and then looked at Yin Bupo. Seeing his strange expression, he didn’t care, but said, “Tomorrow is the 30th lunar month, and also New Year’s Eve. If the speed is fast, we can rush tomorrow night. Go to Heiyang City to celebrate New Year's Eve."
"The horse is exhausted. At your current speed, you may not be able to arrive tomorrow." Yin Bupo calmly said: "If you kill me, I will be more relaxed alone, and the speed will be faster. Tomorrow midnight, you It is still possible to arrive."
"Yin is not broken, you are also a man who regards death as home. I really don't understand why a person like you rebels against the court." Qin Xiao said coldly.
Yin Bupo smiled with disdain, raised his head to look at the sky, and shook his head: "I advise you not to take pains. You take me on the road, but you want to hand me over to General Kuroba. Asking for a confession, it's a pity... it's too late."
"It's too late?" Qin Xiao frowned, "What do you mean by this?"
"Qin Xiao, I admire you for being able to break through Kunlun Pass." Yin Bupo said indifferently: "Actually, you found out that the Wutuo cavalry is of no avail. Nothing will change because of this. Do you think So I colluded with the Wutuo people and let them into the barrier when Xiling was negligent? Do you feel that the cavalry is going to enter the barrier and looting, and then quickly withdraw?"
Qin Xiao stepped forward and grabbed Yin Bucha's collar, and said sharply, "What are they trying to do?"
"To build houses, you need to hire masons, bricklayers, and transport goods, and you need to hire coachmen and grooms." Yin Bu broke his lips with a small smile: "To kill, hire assassins, attack the city, what do you think is needed?"
