"Don't bow to me, or you will have to ask Brother Ninth and I to give you a gift in return. Isn't it troublesome?"

Li Yanqing smiled and held Li Chengzhi's arm like Li Shenjun, "I'm only a few years older than you. If you don't mind, just call me brother like the ninth brother!"

Brother?

Doesn’t this mean that the father’s seniority has been reduced by one level out of thin air?

However, not long after the Yuan and Wei Dynasties became sinicized, etiquette was like a fig leaf, depending on where it was used.

Li Chengzhi agreed obligingly, and while chatting with each other, he boarded the Wuyuan County seat with Li Shenjun and Li Yanqing.

After leaving Wuyuan County, about 150 miles further, you will reach Jinhaoguan...

The original idea was that in case of chaos in Woye, Li Chengzhi could join forces with Gao Meng to attack from both sides and catch Woye Town off guard. Unexpectedly, an unexpected combination of circumstances caused Wuyuan to become a nail in the road between Lu Yan and Rouran.

This is called making mistakes and making mistakes...

Li Chengzhi was secretly happy and asked Yuan Chen: "Have you sent any expedition to the north?"

"We have already sent one. He Bayun and Hu Lujin will each lead a team to explore Jinhaoguan from the east and west. There are Tangqi along the road to respond, but if something is wrong, they will light smoke to send a message... If they are close,

If there is nothing unusual at night, we will withdraw to Wuyuan..."

He Ba Yun?

Li Chengzhi felt a little weird.

The Heba clan was originally a chief of the Shule tribe. After his ancestors returned to the Yuan and Wei dynasties, they were awarded a title by Emperor Taiwu and moved to Beizhen.

For people like He Bayun, when they reach the age of ten, they have to go to Beijing to study in the Imperial College. It is called royal kindness, but it is actually a proton.

What a coincidence!

Luo Jian rushed to the fertile fields. The commander of one of the battalions was He Baduba, a man from Longcheng County, who happened to be He Bayun's father...

Thinking about it this way, the father and son, who had not seen each other for three or four years, were reunited in advance.

With emotion in his heart, he heard Yuan Chen's report: "In addition, in the past two days, the general has intercepted more than fifty exploration horses sneaking into Jinhaoguan. Seventeen of them were Rouran Xizou, and more than thirty were all from

Woye Town and Gaoque Garrison..."

Gaoque garrison... Lu Shikuo?

I've thought of it a long time ago...

How could Lu Yan rebel without the help of his brother Lu Shiqi, who was also the garrison commander of Gaoque?

Lu Shikui is Lu Yan's half-brother, and he is also one of Yuan Huan's cronies who have only indulged in sex and debauchery in the past year and entrusted all the town's affairs to Lu Yan, who has been installed by him.

The current Gaoque garrison chief (similar to a county guard) has jurisdiction over Linrong, Linhe County, Sanfeng County, Jilu, Jinhao, and Gaoque Pass, and his headquarters is Linrong.

Because of this, Lu Yan had a sudden idea, secretly communicated with Du Lun's tribe, and led them into the pass to rob and kidnap them, so as to cause chaos in the six towns...

Li Yanqing said suspiciously: "More than a hundred miles to the west of Linrong City is Jilu Pass, which is the key point connecting the north and south of Yinshan Mountain. The valley is wide and flat. It is also governed by the Gaoque garrison leader Lu Shikui, but why does Lu Yan and Dou Ling want to stay?

Go as far as possible and enter through the high tower?"

"Just because Jilu Pass is too close to Xiazhou!"

Li Chengzhi smiled half-heartedly and said, "Gao Meng, the governor, is not an easy person. At this time, the situation is turbulent. If he meddles in his own business and sends troops out to block Dou Yue's retreat, Du Lun's troops will

Isn’t it true that there is no return?”

Gao Meng is nosy?

With Li Chengzhi, my brother-in-law, I really can’t say for sure.

To this day, no one has figured out how Li Chengzhi concluded that chaos would inevitably break out in Woye.

He could advance one step ahead and rush the army to the heart of Fertile Wilderness. There was no guarantee that he would be unprepared and then let Gao Meng seize Jilu Pass...

Li Yanqing and Li Shenjun looked at each other with doubts in their hearts.

After staring for a while, Li Chengzhi looked at the sky and counted the time.

The sun is almost to the west and will set in half an hour at most. But if we go faster, in almost two hours, that is, around Haishi (9 p.m.), the army can march to about eighty miles to the northwest, starting from

Dacheng County governed by Woye garrison.

Dacheng County is only fifty miles away from Jinhao Pass. If the army arrives, it will cut off Rouran's eastward advance. Even if the Du Lun tribe enters the pass, they will be able to seize the Gaoque garrison to the west, which is considered a general.

Losses were reduced to a minimum.

Just as I was thinking this, I accidentally saw some horses coming from the north, and they rushed to the city in just a short while.

Li Chengzhi originally thought they were command troops sent by Yuan Zhi's former army, but when he was about 100 paces away, he saw clearly that the cavalrymen were carrying Tang flags on their backs.

Hu Lujin and He Boyun's scouts?

"Commander, we have found it... According to the herdsmen near the pass, there have been horses near the Jinhao River since the day before yesterday. I thought it was some herd that crossed the border, and I was about to report it to Guandu Lieutenant Bing. But in Guanzhong

The official Que Jin ordered all the tribes under the pass to retreat ten miles...

Zhuangshuai knew something was wrong, so he led ten of our cavalrymen to disguise themselves as herdsmen and climbed up Langshan Mountain from 20 miles east of Jinhaoguan Pass, intending to sneak into the river valley. But after only going about ten miles, we saw Rouran's cavalry...

Commander Zhuang urgently ordered me to report to him: Rouran's army should be hiding in the valley..."

Hiding in the valley, you are not afraid of being made into dumplings?

"Can the Rouran army be seen outside the pass, or are there signs of marching?"

"Not ever!"

"Where are the garrison in Guanzhong?"

"You can see smoke rising from the pass during three meals a day, so the guards should be inside the pass... Because we didn't dare to go too far forward, we only explored the foot of the pass for about five miles, and we didn't see any horses..."

Deport the herdsmen ten miles away?

I saw Rouran riding outside the valley, but no scouts were seen inside the pass?

The Guanzhong garrison in Dulun in the valley is obviously still waiting for Lu Yan's Guan defense map!

"Haha..." Li Chengzhi laughed out loud.

"I originally thought that even if Lu Yan broke the promise and did not send the defense plan to Jinhao, Du Lun's troops would definitely enter the pass overnight. Who would have thought that Dou Ling would wait for two days? This is because he is afraid that I will come too late.

Ah...
Chapter completed!
