"Give me the order. Get up at four o'clock tomorrow and distribute three days' worth of dry food. Let's turn around and fight the Xixia people!"
Sun Lei looked at everyone and said, since the Xixia people are here, he will not fight here.
After a peaceful night, when Tian Hu once again commanded the army to attack Fenyang Mansion, he suddenly found that Sun Lei's army was missing and there was no one in the camp.
"What's going on? Where is Liang Shanbo's army!"
Yang Keshi looked to the west in disbelief. There was really no enemy left. Yesterday there was a lively attack, but today there is no trace. This is so weird, there is no sign at all.
"Shuai Zhong, could it be that yesterday you..."
Wang Yan looked at Zhongshidao. Yesterday, the enemy sent another letter with arrows. Zhongshidao's expression changed slightly after reading the letter. He went out of the city to meet Sun Lei at night.
"Sun Lei said that he has no intention of attacking the city and has his own purpose. As for what the purpose is, I don't know!"
Master Zhong opened his mouth and said.
"Then Sun Lei will just leave!"
Yang Kefu couldn't believe it. Sun Lei had other purposes? What purpose? What is more important to thieves than besieging, attacking and killing them?
"No! They are going to Yan'an Mansion!"
Yang Kebi pointed to the west. Now there were Tian Hu's army in the east, south and north of Fenyang Prefecture. Sun Lei could only go west, and to the west was Yan'an Prefecture, the capital of the Five Guanxi Routes and the base camp of the Western Army.
"Liu Fa is still there, and there are still 20,000 troops! We should be able to ensure that the city is safe!"
Yang Keshi immediately said, Liu Fana is also a famous general in the Western Army.
"No, Liu Fa is not in Yan'an Mansion. The Prime Minister Tong ordered Liu Fa to lead his troops to the northwest and stationed in Jingxia City, waiting for orders to capture and unify An City."
Zhong Shidao shook his head and said, this is a top secret, and he would not tell it unless the situation was urgent.
"Liu Fa leads his troops to Jingxia City! Prepare to attack Kaoniu City!"
Everyone's expressions changed drastically. The Hengshan area had penetrated deep into Xixia, and Kauniu City was even closer to Xingqing Mansion. It was too dangerous for the 20,000 troops to go deep alone.
"This is Tong Xiang's order!"
Zhong Shidao shook his head helplessly and said, many things are beyond their control. Whether Tong Guan is the privy envoy, the leader of the Western Army or a popular figure in front of the emperor, speaking is equivalent to an imperial edict. How can they dare to resist the edict?
"Then what should we do? Yan'an Mansion has to save us!"
Yang Keshi was anxious. Yan'an Mansion is the most important city in Kansai and must not be lost.
"But Tian Hu's army is still there!"
Wang Yan frowned and said, they can't leave now. Once they abandon the city, Tian Hu will definitely pursue them. It will be difficult to break out of the siege without paying a heavy price.
"Yang Keshi, take a team of people to Weizhou quickly and ask the Zhong division to lead troops to rescue Yan'an Prefecture!"
Zhongshi Dao looked at Yang Keshi and said, now among the five relationships, only Weizhou among the Zhongshi still has troops to mobilize.
"yes!"
Yang Keshi took the order and headed west with a hundred horses. Weizhou was too far away from here, and it would take him more than ten days even if he rode hard, while Sun Lei's army would probably reach Yan'an Prefecture in four or five days.
"Commander Zhong, Yan'an Mansion cannot make any mistakes!"
Yang Kefu whispered to Zhong Shidao that if something happened to Yan'an Mansion, the entire Five Routes of Guanxi would be in chaos. Not only would they have no way out, but Liu Fa who went deep into Xixia would be even more in danger. It is even more possible to invade the Guanxi Fifth Road and threaten Guanzhong and Hedong.
"No matter what, kill the thief first. No resistance is allowed today. Put the enemy on the wall and then kill him!"
Master Zhong gritted his teeth and said, he originally thought of showing weakness for two more days and waiting for Tian Hu to lose his patience before killing the enemy in one fell swoop, but now he couldn't wait any longer.
"Damn it, Sun Lei, a coward, ran away!"
Tian Hu was furious after learning the situation.
"Your Majesty, a letter was found in Sun Lei's camp!"
A soldier came to report.
Tian Hu took the letter and opened it, his face even more ashen.
"hateful!"
Tian Hu roared angrily.
"Your Majesty, what did Sun Lei say?"
Everyone looked at Tian Hu with confusion. They were curious about what Sun Lei said in the letter.
"Stop and attack the city!"
Tian Hu didn't answer and just yelled.
Everyone didn't know why, but Tian Hu didn't pursue Sun Lei's case anymore, and they couldn't ask more questions. Tian Hu had a bad temper. If he got angry, he would be seeking death.
"Brother, why did Sun Lei run away?"
Tian Bao and Tian Biao asked quickly when they saw everyone had left.
"Sun Lei said that he found traces of the Xixia people, saying that foreigners entered the country and harmed the people. As a good man, he cannot just sit idly by and ignore it. He went to the Xixia people first! Leave it to us!"
Tian Hu gritted his teeth and said.
"The Xixia people are not..."
Tian Biao's face was gloomy, but he did not continue to say that the Xixia people were invited by them, and now Sun Lei actually used Poxia's donkey to run away directly.
"Stop talking, this matter can't be publicized! Once we clean up the way of cultivation, we will go after Sun Lei. Thirty thousand Xixia soldiers. Sun Lei will be dead this time!"
Tian Hu looked at Tian Bao and Tian Biao and said, the Xixia people's affairs are a secret, and none of his subordinates know about it. If this kind of thing is publicized, he is afraid that he will end up betraying his relatives and eventually becoming alone. Collusion with foreign races, cholera in the Central Plains, this kind of infamy is something not everyone dares to bear.
"Report, Your Majesty, urgent report from Gaizhou! Tong Guan is coming with one hundred thousand troops to attack!"
At this moment, a cavalryman came riding in panic to report.
"What!"
Tian Hu's teeth were almost broken. He had to fire the arrow on the string, but he was unexpectedly attacked from behind. He had planned well to catch Zhong Shidao and Sun Lei in one fell swoop, but why was it so chaotic all of a sudden?
"Brother, what should we do? Return support?"
Tian Bao looked at Tian Hu and asked.
"No, the war here has begun. We have finally surrounded Zhongshidao. We can't let him go like this. After he breathes his last breath, we will attack Qinyuan again!"
Tian Hu shook his head and said, Fenyang Mansion is close to Qinyuan, and there will be endless consequences if we don't take down the cultivation method this time.
"Go tell Niu Wenzhong and ask him to find a way to stop Tong Guan. I will lead my troops there after I finish the battle!"
Tian Hu called a close aide and said that he could not let go of the war, but Niu Wenzhong had geographical advantages and could delay the war for some time.
After leaving Fenyang Prefecture, Liangshan's army entered Xizhou directly, and soon arrived at the Yellow River. After crossing the Yellow River, they arrived at Yan'an Prefecture and saw Yue Fei.
"The Xixia people are coming, and there are too few Suide soldiers to stop them!"
Yue Fei said quickly.
"Let's go and kill the Xixia people!"
Sun Lei laughed and said.
The army moved along the mountain road until they saw a dangerous mountain.
"This is a very suitable place for an ambush. It's a place where one man can't get through!"
Yue Fei pointed to the mountain in front and said.
"here it is?"
Sun Lei looked at the terrain and rubbed his chin as he thought.
"This is Duzhan Mountain! It is a dangerous place east of Yan'an Mansion!"
Lu Zhishen knew all the places in Guanxi very well, especially around Yan'an Prefecture.
“Really a great place!”
Sun Lei nodded and said, the mountain is steep and the canyon is long, it is indeed an excellent ambush place.
"This is also the only way to the east of the river!"
Lu Zhishen nodded.
"Then we will lay an ambush here, with the trebuchet placed in front of us, to let the Xixia people know how powerful we are in Liangshanbo."
Sun Lei pointed at Duzhan Mountain and said, how could such an excellent location be missed. (End of chapter)
