When Yang Xiaochen woke up from his coma, he found that he was being carried by a furry guy on his shoulders and running at high speed. Next to him was Yinghuo, the secret agent of the Xinghe Sect's Seventh Killing Battalion.
"Brother Yinghuo, how is Yinma Pass now? Where are we going?" Yang Xiaochen flew into the air with both hands, rolled twice in the air and then jumped onto Lin.
Seeing Yang Xiaochen get off Jin Zi's body, the monkey said helplessly: "Under the circumstances at that time, as a veteran general, you should have guessed what will happen next without me."
Yang Xiaochen's face became even more serious when he heard this, and he whispered with pain on his face: "Brother Yinghuo, was my father still alive when you left?"
"Old General was still fighting with the enemy at that time, but the city gate was broken and the enemy army had entered the city. Old General, he..." Monkey's voice stopped suddenly, and his face was full of unbearable color.
Yang Xiaochen's eyes were firm and he cupped his hands and said: "Brother Yinghuo, thank you for saving your life. However, Yinma Pass has been breached and our army is in a desperate situation. As a Taichu general, I cannot leave like this. Please return the weapons to me."
At this time, Yang Xiaochen's red tassel spear was hung on Jin Zi. It was the monkey's spiritual beast Jin Zi who had just carried Yang Xiaochen. Jin Zi had been hiding near Yinma Pass and had not entered the city. The monkey immediately called Jin Zi out after escaping. .
The monkey understood that Yang Xiaochen was going to return to Yinma Pass. He shook his head and said: "Brother Yang's return at this time will not help. The old general specifically entrusted me to rescue Brother Yang. He will never want Brother Yang to die again!"
"Is this what father meant?" Yang Xiaochen looked sad, and every detail of getting along with his father appeared in front of his eyes.
"Compared to a military life, the most important thing for a father is you... As long as you live, my father will not be afraid even if he is shattered to pieces!" Yang Wenzhong's true feelings before the war.
It kept echoing in Yang Xiaochen's ears, and only then did he truly understand the true meaning of his father's words.
"Father..." There were tears in Yang Xiaochen's eyes. He closed his eyes and murmured.
The monkey sighed and said nothing.
After a while, Yang Xiaochen gently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. He still closed his eyes and clenched his fists and said excitedly to himself: "Please forgive the child for being unfilial. The father is also the most important person to the child, and the child is willing to die for his father!"
Yang Xiaochen opened his eyes and raised his hands to the monkey: "Brother Yingluo, I still have to return to Yinma Pass to be with my father and the robes!"
The monkey smiled bitterly. He looked at Yang Xiaochen's extremely determined eyes and knew that no more persuasion would be of any use, so he said, "Since Brother Yang insists on this, there is nothing I can do to stop him."
The monkey turned around and took off Yang Xiaochen's spear from Jin Zi. Yang Xiaochen didn't notice that the monkey winked at Jin Zi when his back was turned to him.
"Here, Brother Yang, be sure to take care!" Monkey handed the spear solemnly to Yang Xiaochen's hand, with a worried look on his face, and Jin Zi stood aside silently.
Yang Xiaochen held the spear with both hands and nodded heavily.
Just when Yang Xiaochen was about to take over the spear, a furry animal paw suddenly slapped him on the back of the head. Yang Xiaochen was caught off guard and knocked unconscious again.
The moment he fainted, he already understood what had happened and stared at the monkey with an uneasy expression. The monkey scratched its head in embarrassment.
Jin Zi ran to the monkey as if asking for credit. The monkey took out a banana from somewhere and threw it to Jin Zi. Jin Zi ate it happily. After many years of getting along, one person and one animal have a very tacit understanding. With a look from the monkey, Jin Zi could instantly It is not an exaggeration to understand the intention and understand it.
The monkey walked to Yang Xiaochen, took out a medicine bottle from his arms, and poured out three pills from it. He looked at Yang Xiaochen and frowned for a moment, then poured out three more pills from the bottle, all at once. Stuffed it into Yang Xiaoxian's mouth.
These pills are none other than the famous Wangyou Powder in the world. One pill can make people sleep for a full hour. Yang Xiaochen took so many pills and couldn't wake up for six hours.
After the monkey gave Yang Xiaochen the medicine, he stood up, took out a piece of paper and a charcoal pen from his arms, and started writing on a stone nearby.
He folded the paper full of words and stuffed it into a clever cloth bag on Jin Zi's body and said: "Jin Zi, take this guy back to the Xinghe Sect, hand him and this paper to Xifeng, and pay attention to safety along the way! "
Hearing this, Jin Zi patted his chest and looked confident, then he picked up Yang Xiaochen and headed north, disappearing into the woods nearby.
After sending Jin Zi and Yang Xiaochen away, Monkey looked solemn and murmured to himself: "Jin Zi, the situation is critical now, so I can only take this opportunity to send you away. I will look for you when I get back alive!"
The monkey sighed softly and galloped away in the direction of Wuweiguan.
In Yinma Pass, the battle has ended. The two princes of Dongxia, Qi Guangren, the young master of the East Palace, and many masters stood on the city wall and watched the soldiers of Dongxia and Qinghe cleaning the battlefield together.
A young general knelt down in front of Bai Lingshuang and said respectfully: "Your Highness, what should we do with these Taichu Army corpses?"
Bai Lingshuang looked at the corpses that were being carried away and said seriously: "Although these are enemies, they are also warriors worthy of respect. Let's bury them outside Yinma Pass."
The general took the order and left. Bai Lingshuang faced Qi Guangren and said respectfully: "This battle can be won so easily. Sir, you should be credited with the first achievement!"
Qi Guangren smiled humbly and said: "Wei Chen just suggested that today's victory should be attributed to His Highness. If His Highness hadn't personally gone north and successfully rescued more than 100,000 surrendered soldiers, how could our army have taken Xuanjian City and Yinma Pass so easily! "
…
The two complimented each other for a while, looking at each other and smiling knowingly.
"Report!" A scout hurriedly ran up the city wall and shouted.
Everyone immediately turned their attention to the scout, and Bai Lingshuang said: "!"
"General Sun Changqing has led his army to capture Xiaguan City and is currently marching towards Wuwei Pass!"
Everyone looked happy, and Bai Lingshuang said: "Okay, thank you for your hard work, please step back first."
The scout retreated cautiously.
Bai Guhan thought for a moment, his eyes shone brightly and said: "Brother Wang, the situation is very good now. It is better for our army to send troops immediately to attack Wuwei Pass from the north. At that time, it will form a flanking attack with the army led by General Sun. It is a great achievement to catch the turtle in the urn. Can become!"
Bai Lingshuang was also thinking. He did not pay attention to Bai Guhan directly, but looked at Qi Guangren and said, "Sir, what do you think of Guhan's proposal?"
Qi Guangren shook his head slightly and said: "Lin Chuhe has been on the battlefield for a long time, how can he sit still and wait for death? If our army rushes to Wuwei Pass now, we will only get an empty city."
"Oh? What do you think, sir?" Bai Lingshuang asked.
Qi Guangren turned his attention to the north and said: "Now that the situation is so unfavorable to Taichu, Lin Chuhe will definitely not defend Wuwei Pass. I think he should have already thought of withdrawing his troops."
Bai Guhan suddenly said: "Sir, will the Taichu Army go to take Xuanjian City?"
Qi Guangren shook his head and said with an enigmatic expression: "Your Highness, why are the two armies fighting to attack the city?"
Bai Lingshuang said: "Use the city as a basis to control the surrounding areas. If we don't take the city, we will be in danger of being attacked and cut off from supplies."
"Now that Xuanjian City has been occupied by our army, the Taichu Army's supplies have been cut off!" Bai Guhan said thoughtfully.
Qi Guangren smiled and said: "Your Highness is right. Now that Lin Chuhe's supplies are cut off, he has only two choices. One is to invade our Dongxia interior again and fight to support the war. That is the same as committing suicide. I think Lin Chuhe will not If he does this, even if he really wants to jump over the wall, General Sun's army will not let him do so."
"The other option is to retreat to Yingzhou. Although Xuanjian City has been controlled by our army, if Lin Chuhe just wants to retreat, he will definitely choose to break through from other places. All we have to do is stop him!"
Bai Lingshuang frowned and said, "The problem is, even if we know that the Taichu Army will evacuate, we don't know where they will leave from."
"Actually, it's not difficult to guess. There are either high mountains or big rivers on the border of Taichu. There are only two places where the army can go around, Yinma Shoal in the west and Huyang Canyon in the east!" Qi Guangren pointed to the north and northeast respectively. direction road.
The two great passes in the East and West correspond to the names of two important places on the Eastern Xia border in the early Taichu period. Directly north of Yinma Pass is Yinma Shoal, and Huyang Canyon is also very close to Huyang Pass.
"Sir, are our troops going to ambush the Taichu Army before they arrive at two important places?" Bai Guhan had a stern look on his face.
Qi Guangren smiled and shook his head and said: "There are General Sun's 400,000 troops in the rear. If Lin Chuhe dares to divide his troops, isn't he committing suicide? I think he has only one choice, and that is Huyang Canyon. In this way, he can compete with Taichu in Huyang Pass. The defenders gathered together and left together."
Bai Lingshuang nodded with deep approval and said: "Sir, you are right. Now that you and I have occupied Yinma Pass, the Taichu Army will definitely not dare to come here after getting the news."
"Brother Wang is right. There is only one problem now. Huyang Canyon is too far from Yinma Pass. If Lin Chuhe really wants to retreat, it will be difficult for our army to catch up even if we set off immediately." Bai Guhan said seriously.
Bai Lingshuang showed an unpredictable expression on her face and said: "When the Taichu Army arrived at Huyang Canyon, someone would naturally stop them for us. Are you right? The leader of Longyan."
The masters of Qinghe remained silent. When Long Yansi heard Bai Lingshuang calling him, he immediately saluted respectfully and said: "Your Highness, the two important places have been prepared."
"That's very good. In this way, the Taichu Army will never be able to pass through the Huyang Canyon quickly, and our pursuers will be able to arrive." Bai Lingshuang said with a hint of joy on his face.
Behind him, Qi Guangren and Bai Guhan looked a little confused. They didn't know what kind of riddle Bai Lingshuang and Long Yansi were playing.
Qi Guangren said: "It seems that His Highness is confident, so I can rest assured." There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.
"Sir, please forgive me. This matter cannot be mentioned to outsiders yet. You will know about it soon." Bai Lingshuang immediately noticed Qi Guangren's tone and explained.
"Your Highness is the real commander-in-chief of this army, and you still have to listen to His Highness on specific matters." Qi Guangren also realized that his tone was not appropriate, so he changed his tone this time to a calmer one.
Bai Lingshuang said respectfully: "Since Sir has made this judgment, this disciple completely trusts Sir."
"Pass my order and take a break for a stick of incense. Then the Eastern Xia Army will stay with 100,000 men, and the remaining troops will follow me to the Huyang Canyon!" Bai Lingshuang shouted majestically.
Several messenger soldiers immediately took the order and left. At Bai Lingshuang's signal, all the masters surrounding him also began to leave.
Just as Bai Guhan and Qi Guangren were leaving, they turned their backs to Bai Lingshuang and winked at each other. Their eyes were cold, as if there was some huge conspiracy.
