This year's frost and snow came particularly late, but the grassland is still green and dotted with lakes and lakes.

This fertile plain is located between the tributaries and the main stream of the Yellow River, with the Pu River running through it. More than a hundred rivers branch out from these two river systems to irrigate the fertile soil. The long and short rivers are intertwined like silver lines. The pastures are lush and the grass is fragrant everywhere.

Meadow steppe is a forest steppe and steppe zone.

The large convoy of carriages and horses is slowly advancing on the flat grassland that stretches straight to the sky, like a large green carpet.

Although it is thousands of miles of fertile wilderness, it is still an undeveloped land and only inhabited by a few herdsmen. They each have their own way of life. Like the beautiful Baiyi people in Zhao, they go their own way and do not accept the control of the government.

This place is rich in cattle, horses and deer. Walking through it, you can often see them running in groups or wandering and grazing in the distance.

But this primitive area is also a place where ferocious beasts are rampant.

The most terrifying thing is the pack of wild wolves, which chase the team in front and behind from time to time, showing no fear of humans at all.

Xiang Shaolong sent out ten reconnaissance teams of five people to explore the wilderness far and near to avoid ambushing the enemy in the long grass areas or bushes.

Three days later, the terrain began to change, and everything in front of them was rolling hills. Weeds grew in large quantities and were covered with burnetroot and wormwood, which greatly slowed down their journey.

Xiang Shaolong felt something was wrong.

With the reputation of Wei Mou, if it is true that "there are no deceitful men under the great reputation", he will never be so ignorant that he did not even know that they fought against Gray Hu. At least he would have captured a few "escapees" for torture, and thus grasped

their line.

Assuming that this inference is correct, Wei Mou must have been following them, waiting for the best moment to strike.

Where will they take action?

At noon, the answer finally appeared. It was a huge mountain lying in front of us, and the only access was a narrow passage three miles long.

Xiang Shaolong frowned and pondered for a while, then summoned Cheng Xu, Wu Zhuo and Zha Yuanyu, and said, "If my guess is right, Xiao Wei Mou and his people will be waiting for us in the canyon.

"

Cheng Xu nodded and said, "The spies reported that if someone ambushed us on the cliffs on both sides, our entire army could be wiped out just by throwing stones."

Zha Yuanyu said with a bitter face: "There are hills and trees everywhere here. If the enemy sets fire upwind, the thick smoke will choke us to death."

Xiang Shaolong smiled and said: "Thick smoke can only deal with unprepared people. Yuanyu, you immediately use all your hands to remove all the grass and trees on the hilltop and slope, dig a deep pit at the bottom of the slope, and divert the nearby stream into the pit."

Inside, the camp was surrounded. On the top of the mountain, vehicles formed a formation to protect the camp. At the same time, a large amount of clean water was prepared in the camp, at least two buckets for each camp. Everyone must carry something like a cloth towel with them. When encountering heavy smoke,

After applying the water on your face, you won't be afraid of choking on the smoke."

Just as Zha Yuanyu was about to take action, Xiang Shaolong called him back and said, "Tell everyone to take off their armor, so as not to affect the action."

Zha Yuanyu took the order and went.

After Xiang Shaolong, Cheng Xu, and Wu Zhuo studied for a while, they were about to go find Zhao Ya, Zhao Qian, and Shao Yuanjun, accompanied by several generals, came over excitedly and said, "Why did Xiang Shaolong stop like this?"

Dangerous place? How to resist the enemy’s fire attack?”

Xiang Shaolong said coldly: "If you like, you can cross the canyon by yourself without me accompanying you."

Mr. Shao Yuan's eyes almost burst out with fire. After pondering for a while, of course he did not dare to take risks and changed his words: "If you can't go in, you should retreat to a safe place."

Wu Zhuo couldn't help but said: "The sun will set in three hours, and the mountain road is difficult to walk. It would be worse if we retreat to a place where we can't advance or retreat."

Mr. Shao Yuan shouted angrily: "Shut up. Only a slave like you has the qualifications to interrupt."

Wu Zhuo's expression changed and he pressed his hand on the sword handle.

Xiang Shaolong put a hand on Wu Zhuo's shoulder and said with a smile: "Young Master made a mistake, Wu Zhuo is my comrade in arms, and his words are mine."

Cheng Xu also sneered and said, "We will listen to whoever says something reasonable."

Mr. Shao Yuan was so angry that his face turned red and white, and he walked away angrily.

Wu Zhuo said gratefully: "It is truly a blessing in my life to be able to fight side by side with Mr. Sun."

Xiang Shaolong patted him affectionately before letting go of his shoulder, looking towards the canyon and saying: "As long as I can survive tonight, I will be sure to deal with Xiao Wei Mou's ambush in the canyon."

Cheng Xu said: "According to my estimation, Xiao Wei Mou's manpower will never be more than ours, otherwise he would have attacked us on the road."

After talking for a while, Xiang Shaolong went to see Mrs. Ya.

Xiao Zhao and others had just set up their tents. When they saw him arriving, they all saluted him.

Looking at these beautiful girls, Xiang Shaolong felt very happy. After teasing with them, he went into the tent to see Mrs. Ya.

Mrs. Ya happily welcomed him and allowed him to indulge in all his arrogance. She sat down at the banquet and said, "Young Shaolong has some words that make Ya'er unhappy. Please don't be offended."

Xiang Shaolong smiled and said: "You must want to ask me about my relationship with Zhao Qian, don't worry she is still a virgin."

Mrs. Ya said: "But you have stirred up her passion. How can she be willing to marry to Wei? What are we doing in Daliang?"

Xiang Shaolong said calmly: "Of course I'm going to steal the "Secret Records of Lu Gong""

Mrs. Ya said angrily: "Shaolong"

Xiang Shaolong laughed and said: "I know what you want to say: If Lord Xinling knew that we were going to steal his "Secret Record", he wouldn't teach us how to do it, right?"

Mrs. Ya bit him hard on the shoulder and was so angry that she couldn't speak.

Xiang Shaolong caressed her shoulders and comforted her: "The husband who believes in you can only adapt to circumstances in this era of intrigues. Maybe he can have the best of both worlds. Hey, I haven't had sex with you for a long time."

Already."

Mrs. Ya said charmingly: "There is no 'camping', so what about the 'house'?"

Before Xiang Shaolong had a chance to answer, Xiao Zi's voice called out: "Vice General Cheng, please ask Mr. Xiang to go out immediately."

Xiang Shaolong sighed and said to Mrs. Ya: "This guy Shao Yuan must be causing trouble again."

As expected, Lord Shaoyuan summoned his generals and decided to evacuate the mountain on his own.

When Xiang Shaolong arrived, Mrs. Pingyuan was earnestly persuading Aier to give up this idea.

When Lord Shao Yuan saw Xiang Shaolong, he became even more furious and said furiously: "I will not accompany anyone to death. The mountains and forests here are everywhere. The enemy is dark and we are clear. How long can we hold on? Only fools who know nothing about military affairs can

That’s why he would do something as stupid as committing suicide.”

Mrs. Pingyuan said angrily: "What qualifications do you have to criticize? Can you defeat Gray Bear's army? When Gray Bear attacked that day, apart from hiding in the tent, you did nothing outstanding."

Shao Yuanjun didn't expect his mother to expose his scars in public, but he could hold his face so he nodded and said: "Well, now you are completely standing as an outsider, and you are turning against your own son. From today on, I will never have a mother like you."

relative."

"Snapped"

Mrs. Pingyuan slapped him angrily, trembling all over and saying, "Say it to me again."

Shao Yuanjun caressed the beaten cheek, with a vicious look in his eyes. He rolled his eyes several times on her and Xiang Shaolong, and said in a cold voice: "You have an adulterer, what do you want from my son?"

Jigao shouted: "The children must live with me."

Mrs. Pingyuan was so angry that her face turned pale and she shouted: "No one is allowed to let him go. I am still in charge of this family. When will it be his turn to speak?"

Everyone in the family said nothing, but everyone knew that no one would risk leaving with Mr. Shao Yuan.

Mrs. Pingyuan glanced at Mr. Shao Yuan coldly and said: "If you don't kowtow to me and admit your mistake, I will never forgive you." She snorted and returned to the camp.

Xiang Shaolong didn't even look at Mr. Shao Yuan who was frozen on the spot, and ordered: "If you really want to survive, go to work immediately."

All the generals agreed with a loud voice, ignored Lord Shaoyuan, and went off to chop down grass and trees.

The others dispersed in a hurry, leaving Mr. Shao Yuan alone on the mountaintop, helpless.

The sun sets over the western mountains, the earth becomes groggy, and cold wind blows from the northwest.

Xiang Shaolong's entire army was on alert, waiting for danger. There were only a few lights in the camp, which was desolate and cold.

Xiang Shaolong, Cheng Xu and Wu Zhuo were sitting on a mule cart outside, observing what was going on around them.

The sound of a hard object falling to the ground came from the other side of the mountain.

The three of them were very excited.

The existence of the enemy was finally confirmed, proving Xiang Shaolong's deduction.

The sound of falling to the ground was caused by the enemy hitting the stumbling rope they had set.

You must know that until this moment, the existence of the enemy is still pure speculation without any substantial support. It is only inferred that if there are enemies, they must be hiding in the canyon, and this is the land of the Wei people after all, so Wei Mou cannot

Instead of fighting, we will attack the camp when darkness comes.

If you want to attack at night, this kind of place is most suitable for fire attacks, and fire attacks must first gain the upper hand. Therefore, the enemy must leave the canyon and sneak to the far side of the canyon to reach the hilltop on the other side of the camp.

Therefore, they aimed at this point and set up trip ropes in the mountains outside the camp. If the enemy was tripped and made a sound, they could know where the enemy was advancing in the darkness.

Falling to the ground and muffled groans sounded one after another.

Xiang Shaolong laughed loudly and shouted: "Xiao Wei Mou, you fell into the trap and let go of the arrow!"

The fire in the camp lit up, and hundreds of rockets shot high into the sky, far away on both sides and in the direction of the mouth of the gorge, leaving only the upwind area.

Suddenly, flames flew everywhere, and the dry mountain forest quickly caught fire. Taking advantage of the wind, it spread from both sides towards the mouth of the gorge, and all the enemies who came in the dark were swept into the flames. It turned out that Xiang Shaolong had already ordered people to kill him in the forest.

Lamp oil is really instant when you touch it.

Thick smoke rose, and most of it was sent towards the canyon, while only a small amount drifted towards the camp.

Everyone hurriedly got wet wipes and put them on their faces, covering their mouths and noses.
