The autumn harvest is getting closer and closer, and Xiao Yuan and his generals have been formulating strategies in the past few days.
At this time, a large sand table had been placed in the middle of the tent. People gathered around it. Xiao Yuan first pointed to the location of Xiping Pass, then moved his finger and said:
"This is Beiling County, which is currently occupied by Xirong. It is an important town for them to attack Xipingguan and transport troops. If our army wants to regain the twelve cities, this is the first place to attack."
As he spoke, he continued: "At that time, the Xirong army will most likely launch troops from Beiling and march forty miles to the Xiping Pass. During this forty-mile journey, we will have two places where we can set up ambush. "
"They are Luoying Stream and Fulong Ridge respectively."
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his eyes and glanced at everyone.
Seeing this, Zhao Mu cupped his hands and said, "In my opinion, Luoying Stream is more suitable."
As he spoke, he also pointed to the sand table and continued: "Sir, please see, although Fulong Ridge has a dangerous terrain, it has a wide field of vision. Although it is suitable for setting up an ambush, it may not be possible to completely annihilate these Xirong troops."
"And Luoyingjian is a valley sandwiched between two mountains. It is surrounded by high mountains and narrow roads, which can effectively restrict the Xirong cavalry."
After listening to his explanation, Xiao Yuan nodded slowly at first, and then began to think deeply.
After a moment, he suddenly said: "But I am still a little worried. What if, what if, this time, Xirong does not take this road?"
"What do you mean, sir..." Zhao Mu couldn't help but ask.
Xiao Yuan lowered his head and stared at the sand table for a while, then pointed to a place and said: "What if they go here, the troops are in danger, and attack directly into Xiping Pass?"
"This..." Zhao Mu also lowered his head and looked down, and said, "The place you are talking about is within the snow-capped mountains. Xirong should not be able to walk here."
"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the unexpected." Xiao Yuan said, and then said: "In this way, we will set up an ambush in Luoying Stream first, and then go and see the geographical environment of the snow-capped mountains."
The place he was talking about was dozens of miles away to the left of Xipingguan. Due to climate reasons, it was a mountain range covered with snow all year round.
If Xirong really used his troops from here to pass through this snow-capped mountain, he would not be outside the pass, but inside the pass.
Xiao Yuan had to guard against this.
Zhao Mu had made such assumptions before, but Xirong never sent troops from here.
Now that Xiao Yuan brought it up, he just did it and brought a group of generals to the foot of the snow-capped mountains that day.
From a parallel perspective, this place was still within the pass. At the foot of the mountain, Xiao Yuan also got off his horse and took a look at the surrounding environment.
Going back, the weather is still normal, but going forward, there is snow, which is not surprising. After Xiao Yuan took a look, he immediately waved his hand and said: "Let's go deeper and take a look."
Following his order, the group of people began to walk through the snow. They were originally wearing autumn clothes, but the further they walked in, the lower the temperature became. Xiao Yuan couldn't help but tighten his tight clothes and said casually: "Look, here Although the conditions are harsh, we can actually march.”
While walking, Xiao Yuan and the generals observed the terrain and discussed things.
In this way, he didn't stop until after walking for more than an hour and the sun gradually turned westward.
According to the distance, this place should still be on the outskirts of the mountains, and Xiao Yuan's worries became more and more serious.
At this time, Su Yi began to say: "Sir, judging from the terrain we have traveled, we can indeed march, but we can't go further ahead. If it gets dark, we may not be able to get out of this snow-capped mountain."
He was right. Everyone was wearing autumn clothes. Once it gets dark, the temperature will inevitably drop sharply. It will be difficult to return the same way.
"Forget it, prepare some food and cotton-padded clothes tomorrow, and we'll come back." Thinking of this, Xiao Yuan also nodded, and was about to greet everyone to return, but at this moment, there was a sudden and piercing cry from around him.
Ouch~~woo~~~
The sound echoed around, getting closer and closer.
"Oops! It's a pack of wolves!" Peng Shuang's heart sank, and he immediately took out the sword from his waist and protected it in front of Xiao Yuan.
Everyone was also shocked and their expressions changed.
Sure enough, not long after he finished speaking, a snow-white alpha wolf appeared around the group of people. Immediately afterwards, countless snow wolves swarmed in. After surrounding the group of people, they stood still and looked ready to attack at any time. posture.
Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but swallow, and then they held their weapons and stood back to back, their faces full of alertness.
You can imagine how dangerous it is to encounter wolves in this snowy mountain.
The leading wolf, with a pair of wolf eyes gleaming fiercely, stared at Xiao Yuan and the others fiercely for a while, then immediately raised his neck, prepared to howl, and ordered the wolves to attack.
At this critical moment, a misty flute sound came from not far away. It was so mysterious in this snowy mountain.
Who is this person playing the flute here?
The sound of the flute is so melodious.
Like celestial music.
Everyone looked sideways and turned away after hearing the sound, and so did Xiao Yuan.
On the snow not far away, there was a woman in white standing, holding a jade flute. At the end of the flute, there was a red rope jade pendant.
White clothes, white skirts, white ribbons, all in white, look so mysterious in the snow.
Everyone was shocked and did not wait for a reaction. Under the sound of the flute, which was like fairy music, the wolves that were preparing to besiege all whimpered, and then seemed to be frightened by something. Without stopping for a moment, they turned around and took the road. And escape.
In just a moment, there was no trace, and there was no trace of a wolf anywhere.
Seeing this situation, several people's eyes widened with disbelief written on their faces!
This is really strange!
Xiao Yuan was the same. After being shocked, he knew that it must be the sound of the flute, and he couldn't help but turn his head and look in the direction of the woman again.
But when the woman saw that the wolves had retreated, she already started to turn around and walked slowly towards the snowy mountains.
"Girl!" Xiao Yuan couldn't help shouting and stepped forward quickly.
The woman didn't pay attention, and didn't even turn her head to look. She was still walking forward with her jade flute in hand.
"Hey!" Xiao Yuan shouted again. Out of curiosity, he chased after the woman for a few steps. After reaching the place where the woman was standing, when he looked up again, the woman had already walked away and gradually disappeared into the snow.
"Weird." He murmured. Inadvertently, he lowered his head and found the red rope jade pendant on the woman's jade flute falling on the snow.
He bent down to pick it up, and at this time, everyone else followed.
Xiao Yuan glanced at a few people and couldn't help but ask: "Isn't the direction that the woman is walking in the depths of the snow-capped mountains?"
"Yes, sir." Zhao Mu replied: "The surrounding people regard it as a forbidden area. There are rumors that the Snow Clan migrated here to avoid war and have been isolated from the world since then, but I don't know whether it is true or not."
"Xue Clan?" Xiao Yuan muttered, and after thinking about it for a moment, he said, "Let's go back first."
