Huangbeard hides in the Western Hills.

Xishan is in the west of Xiangguo County.

From Xiangguo County to the west, go for more than ten miles, cross the plains and fields, enter the hilly area, and then go another ten miles, and there is a mountain in front of you.

This mountain is not high, only 60 to 70 feet tall, but it is very steep and rocky. Usually in the summer season, the mountains are lush with trees, but now after the cold rain, most of the leaves of the trees have fallen off. The mountain is gray and white, the gray is the mountain soil, and the white is the rock.

Four more camps, the days of October are short, and it is not long before the dawn.

Chen Wu drove his horse to Xunzhen and said, "Lieutenant, this is the closed mountain. After this mountain, it is Xishan."

Chen Wu is a native of Xiangguo County, and is very familiar with the local terrain and mountains. This time, he was not only a guide, but also a predetermined pioneer in the attack on Huangbeard. ..

The name of "Fengshan" has a long history. It is not surprising that this mountain is only a few tens of feet high and covers a small area, but it has a long history. It was Xinghou Jiju, the fourth son of Zhou Gongdan more than a thousand years ago. 's initial fief. The Xing Kingdom, one of the vassal states of the Western Zhou Dynasty, was first built on this mountain, and this mountain became the birthplace of the "Xing" clan, and the "Xing" of the later "Xingtai" also said "Xing".

The main road in Zhao State is north-south. Because the west of the county is mountainous, there are no major roads in the west of the county. After the camp was pulled out this morning, Xun Zhen and the others were mostly walking on small roads. After passing this closed mountain, there was no good road ahead.

Xun Zhen stood on his horse, pointed his whip to the south of Fengshan, and said, "Send orders to all the ministries, go from there, bypass Fengshan and continue to the west."

Although the mountain is steep and rocky, the terrain beside it is flat and can be cultivated. This mountain is very close to Xiangguo County, and the mountain is not large, so there are no bandits in the mountain. Xun Zhen and others do not need to enter the mountain to suppress the bandits.

The messenger took the order and left.

Xun Zhen and Xun You, Handan Rong, Chen Wu, Cen Rong, Dian Wei, Yuan Zhongqing, Zuo Bohou and others drove their horses to the foot of Fengshan Mountain, dismounted and walked up the mountain.

Even after rìyīn rain, the soil on the hillside was poured into soft and muddy soil, and when you stepped down, there was a pit. Sometimes there were stones under the soil, but these stones were washed down from the mountain by the rain, and then buried by the soil washed down later. Living, walking is very difficult to walk. Xun You accidentally stepped on a stone hidden in the mud and almost stabbed his foot. Fortunately, Chen Wu was quick-witted and supported him.

When everyone reached the top of the mountain, the black lacquer shoes and the hem of their robes were covered with mud.

Standing on the top of the mountain and looking to the east, you can see Xiangguo County.

Looking down to the south, there are relatively gentle hills and wilderness. Nearly 2,000 righteous cavalrymen followed Xunzhen's order.

Looking west, there are endless layers of mountains and mountains. Under the misty morning light, these distant mountains are dark, wave after wave, ups and downs, like an angry sea.

Chen Wuyao pointed to the mountains to the west and said, "This is the West Mountain."

From Fengshan to the west, the West Mountain stretches for hundreds of miles, directly to the Taihang Mountains.

I don't know how many bandits and thieves were hiding in the western mountains that were hundreds of miles away. If I wanted to ask their exact numbers and distribution, let alone Xun Zhen and others, I'm afraid even these bandits in the mountains would not know. Huangbeard was the largest of them, but Xun Zhen had already checked it out and knew that his hiding place was in a mountain ridge about forty or fifty miles west of Fengshan.

Xun Zhen stared at the mountains in the west, trying to find the mountain where Huangbeard was hiding, but in the end there were too many mountains near and far, so he couldn't tell which one was. He turned to Chen Wu: "Chen Jun, can you tell which mountain is Huangbeard hiding?"

Chen Wu shook his head and said, "The distance is too far, and there are too many mountains to see here."

"Tell me about the specific situation of Huangbeard's hiding place."

"Yes. . . . The name of the place where Huangbeard hides is Luling. The mountain is more than 200 feet high and covers an area of ​​more than 20 miles. Shimen Mountain is on the left, and Tenglong Mountain is on the right. The back is steep and the walls are steep and there is no way to go. , only the front mountain has a mountain road leading to the mountain."

When I just went up the mountain, the bottom and surface of the black lacquer shoes were covered with mud, and the walk was heavy.

Xun Zhen found a stone, walked to the edge, lifted her foot to scrape the soil on the bottom of her shoes, and sighed as she scraped, "Although the mountain is steep, you can go up the mountain on all sides, compared to only one side that can enter the mountain The Luling Mountains are not too steep, so the mountain road is already difficult. When I was going up the mountain just now, Gongda was almost slipped by a stone. When I finally got up to the mountain, the bottom of the shoe was also covered with silt, and it was hard to walk. Not to mention fighting in front of you.... Gongda, Gongzai, come to Luling to fight, or it will be a hard fight."

Xun You and Handan Rong agreed.

Xun Zhen smiled and asked Chen Wu: "Chen Jun, you are familiar with the shape of the Luling Mountains, because I made you and Junchang the front team to take on the task of our team's first attack on the Huangbeard. Do you have the confidence to complete it?"

Junchang is Cheng Jia. There are two advantages to using Cheng Jia and Chen Wu to be the vanguards. One is that the two new colonies under their command are composed of bandits who defected and officials and soldiers of Xiangguo County, all of whom are familiar with mountain fighting; the other is Chen Wu. He is from Xiangguo County and is familiar with the terrain of Luling. Although Cheng Jia is not from Xiangguo County, he is from Zhao County, and he is no stranger to mountainous areas. Compared with Jiang Qin, Liu Deng, Xin Ai, Li Xiang, etc. The people brought by the land, they occupy the word "place advantage".

However, there is also a disadvantage, that is, although those bandits and officials and soldiers of Xiangguo County have not been in battle, most of them have seen blood before, or they have fought with the county guards of the county, or they have fought with the Yellow Turbans. He had fought against the bandits who went down the mountain to loot, but it was a newly formed Xintun. He only knew about the martial arts and lacked regular cāo training. Xun Zhen still didn't know what his combat effectiveness was.

Chen Wu served as a pavilion chief under Yao Sheng's hands for several years. Although he had the reputation of being a talented person, he had no success. He traveled through various pavilions in the county. Once he caught the eye of Xun Zhen, he was immediately promoted to lieutenant. The officials of the government had long been eager to repay Xun Zhen and make merit in order to be promoted again. At this time, when Xun Zhen asked him, he answered without hesitation: "Yes!"

The answer of the word "yes" was decisive, Xun Zhen nodded in satisfaction, and looking at the troops marching south of the mountain, seeing that half of them had bypassed the southern foot of Fengshan, he said to Xun You and Handan Rong, "I'll wait to go down the mountain. ."

The morning sun burst out from the east sky, and the top of the mountain was suddenly bright.

Handan Rong looked back at the sky in the east, where the red clouds were flickering, and looked far to the west, where the mountains were dark, and said, "We can reach Luling at the latest tomorrow night, and we can launch an attack the next morning at the latest."

...

In Luling Mountain, Huang Beard got the military report and urgently called his subordinate generals.

To be able to break out of Huangfu Song's heavy siege from Julu County and escape to the mountains of Zhao Guo, Huang Beard is still somewhat capable. Unlike Zuo Xu who mainly relied on his advisor, Huang Beard mainly relied on his own ability.

Huang Yan is a nickname, his real name is Qian, his real name is Huang Qian, he is not young this year, he is forty years old.

He is good at using iron spears and is known for his bravery in the Yellow Turbans. Not only is he brave, but he is also calm and able to win the crowd. When he was in the countryside in his early years, he was charitable and charitable. He does not love money and has a good reputation in the army.

Brave, good reputation, his appearance is also very good, handsome, beautiful beard, just like Guan Yu was called "beard" by Zhuge Liang because of his beautiful beard, his nickname "beard" is also because of his beautiful beard And come.

The thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers who followed him to Luling in Xishan were mostly from his village. Although they were defeated, they were far stronger than Zuo Xu's troops in terms of military cohesion. With his summoning order, officers from all divisions came one after another.

Luling is steep in shape, and the mountain road is narrow and difficult to walk. However, there is a large open space on the top of the mountain, which is enough for thousands of people to camp. They built their camp on the top of the mountain. Then in the hastily built thatched hut, Huang Beard held a military meeting with the officers who came one after another.

"The eyeliner placed outside the mountain came to report that the thief Xun, commanding two thousand paces, came to attack my mountain."

Huang Yan's sentence fell to the ground, and there was an uproar in the hut.

Surprised: "Xun Thief is here?"

There is horror: "Oh, I will go down the mountain to retreat."

There is a surprise: "Just as he was about to avenge the great virtuous teacher, he took the initiative to send it to the door?"

Huang Beard coughed, suppressed the chaotic voices, looked around at everyone, and said: "Xun Thief is a famous general under Huangfu Song, after arriving in Zhao State, he ambushed the formation and cut off the left beard not long ago, he is indeed our great enemy! Now that he's coming in aggressively, it's not to be underestimated."

Everyone said, "Yes."

"How do you think I should meet the enemy? Fight? Go? Let's talk about it."

Some of the people proposed to abandon the mountain and escape, and some proposed to go down the mountain to fight back. They had different opinions, and finally asked Huang Beard to make a decision.

Huang Yan had already made up his mind, and immediately said: "There are mountains around Luling. We are from outside the county, and we are not familiar with the surrounding geographical mountains. If you abandon the mountains and retreat, there are only two fates, either you will be lost in the mountains, or It's the army's heart in chaos, no matter which one ends up, we will all die without a burial. Therefore, in my opinion, it is absolutely impossible to abandon the mountain."

He analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of the enemy and us, and said: "Although my troops are few, only a thousand or so, but Xun Thief does not have many troops, only two thousand cavalry, and the mountains are difficult to travel, and those cavalry he led are attacking Shanshi was not able to use it, and all he could use was the infantry with less than 2,000 people. Attacking my army of a thousand people with less than 2,000 infantry, in my opinion, it is not easy for him to win. "

After thinking about it carefully, everyone felt that Huang Yan was right, and the few people who shouted to abandon the mountain and escape earlier also changed their opinions~www.wuxiaspot.com~ All nodded in agreement.

"Abandoning the mountain to retreat is not feasible, but going down the mountain to counterattack is not feasible. Coming down the mountain to counterattack is equivalent to giving up the geographical advantage of my mountain. The trilogy of Xun Thief are all sharp and sharp who have experienced fierce battles. Fighting against them on the ground at the foot of the mountain, it is extremely difficult for our team to win. . Therefore, the best policy should be to hold on to the mountain."

"That's what the general said!"

"Although there are only a thousand people in my army, they are all young and strong, and there are no women and children. They can go into battle to kill the enemy. As long as we wait for the thousand people to be united, use the advantages of the mountain shape to my advantage, and fight hard to the death, this battle may be I can still win! As long as we can win this battle, or even if we don’t win, as long as the Xun thief can be forced back, we will be staying in Zhao Guoli! When the next year is warm, we will go out to occupy Huangyuling. Manage it carefully and wait for three years and five years, no matter what the land of Zhao State is, the mountains to the west of Zhao State are still ours!”

One of the people in the seat flattered and said: "Huang Yuling has the same surname as the general, and it alludes to the 'yellow' of Huang Tian. The mountain to the north of Luling is also called Tenglong. This is also a good omen! In the humble opinion of the villain, this is clearly Huang Tian foreshadowing the general: Lu The ridge will be the general's Tenglong, and Huangyuling will be the general's base. When the Xun thief is defeated this time, and the Huangyuling is defeated, this Zhao County will definitely be in the general's pocket."

Huangbeard stroked his beard and laughed.
