In Fengguan Mountain under the afterglow of the sunset, a group of people walked in the woods halfway up the mountain at the northern foot of the mountain. Their goal was to cross Fengguan Mountain and attack Shangluo City in the south, creating favorable conditions for the government army to recover Chang'an.

Shangluo City is an important node in Wuguan Road. As long as this node is broken, the Zhou army in Chang'an will collapse. Therefore, no matter how rugged the mountain road heading south is, these Sui soldiers have gritted their teeth and persevered until now.

The Grand Governor Wang Bian walked in front. After looking ahead, he confirmed that there were no sentries from Zhou army in front, he signaled the team behind him to follow and came to a hillside with a gentle terrain. The Sui soldiers began to rest.

After a while, Lin Nei gradually walked out of the soldiers, and the number of people increased. Wang Bian and others acted as pioneers and shouldered the responsibility of "stepping on traps". Since everything was as usual, the large army followed closely behind.

The Sui soldiers sat on the ground and took the time to rest.

It was very tiring to climb the mountain, and it was even more tiring to climb the mountain with weapons. However, when they set off, they knew that the trip was extremely difficult, so no one complained.

Wang Bian looked at the familiar and somewhat unfamiliar scenery around him and felt a lot of emotion. He was born and raised by Jiyang County, Jiyang County, and knew very well about the terrain of Shangzhou, especially the Suyang Sushangluo area, so he became a guide for granted.

His ancestors are from Pucheng, Fengyi. His ancestors escaped the war and fled into the Qinling Mountains and settled in Juyang, making a living by doing business. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, they split into the East and West Wei Dynasty. The Wang family donated corn to serve as military pay for the Western Wei court, and from then on began their career.

The Quan family in Shangluo County was a local tyrant, while their Wang family was a large family in Juyang County. The Quan family was hereditary governor. The Wang family was also known as half of the sky in Juyang. No matter what the successive county magistrates were, they had to give some face.

The Wang family had a unit and organized the village soldiers to defend the land and protect the family. Later, he was assigned to the government soldiers by the Zhou Kingdom. Wang Bian, who had been familiar with military books since childhood, was the young master of the Wang family. After entering the government soldiers, he was appointed as the commander-in-chief for his military achievements.

The Sui State was established in Zhou Dynasty. Wang Bian followed the crowd and became a minister of the Sui State. He followed the army to garrison Bingzhou. This time, he followed the general manager of Bingzhou. King Yang Guang of Jin marched into Chang'an. Because he was a local from Shangzhou, he was entrusted with important tasks.

Entering the Qinling Mountains from Huashan County, he walked south along the mountain road. After returning to the long-distanced Juyang County, he met the Shangluoquan clan members who came to contact, and then began to plan a surprise attack on Shangluo.

Juyang County is located north of Shangluo, the capital of Shangzhou Prefecture, and travels between each other through Laojun Valley, but this does not mean that there is only one road. There are many "yus" among the mountains and ridges, which can still travel north and south.

The so-called valley is a valley or canyon. Laojun Valley was visited and moved in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It was a ready-made road. There were several valleys between Juyang and Shangluo, but they were rugged and difficult to walk, and most of them had no rivers.

Without a river, it means that weeds are overgrown. The fallen leaves accumulated over countless years have become unfathomable rotten mud. People can even lose their heads when they walk up, let alone the poisonous snakes and beasts that reproduce.

Because of his family's business, Wang Bian has traveled to and from all over Shangzhou since he was a child, so he is more familiar with the terrain than many locals. This time, he led his comrades to walk south along the small river in the valley.

The water flows to the lower part, and the river flows from north to south to near Shangluo and flows into Danshui. This is more convenient than going to the average valley bottom, but the risk is also great. The weather in the mountains is changing, and a severe rain will cause mountain torrents.

On weekdays, the water is only as deep as the calves, and it can instantly surge to the height of a person's neck. As long as you encounter this once, everyone will be washed away by the flood. Fortunately, it is winter and spring, but it is not rainy yet.

This is also the reason why Wang Bian dares to take risks.

Go south along the river, but you can't walk all the way to the end. When you enter Danshuikou, you pass by the official road, and there must be a beacon tower in Zhou soldiers. So when you approach the Shangluo territory, Wang Bian led everyone to climb the mountain.

Climbing up halfway up the mountain from the bottom of the valley is a life of strength. There is no path that predecessors can use. Many places are steep hills and stone walls. If you are not careful when climbing, you will fall and die.

In fact, many Sui soldiers fell down the mountain and were crushed to pieces. While Wang Bian was regretting his comrades, his heart was not shaken. Only by following such a road without a road can he avoid the sentinels of the Zhou army.

Fengguan Mountain is the northern barrier of Shangluo City. Zhou's army must be wary of someone coming from the north of Fengguan Mountain, but the other party would not have thought that the person who came would actually walk halfway up the mountain.

According to common sense, whether the people or the army want to cross mountains and ridges, they must walk on the ridge, because the ridge has a wide view and it is easy to distinguish the direction, and there will be no too much gravel on the ridge, making it easier to walk.

More importantly, the probability of encountering mudslides or floods when walking on a mountain ridge is very small, so the monitoring range of Zhou's sentry will probably be mainly ridges. I would never have thought that the Sui army would go through the woods halfway up the mountain.

So it is worth the price to pay the life!

Thinking of this, Wang Bian couldn't help but think of the historical records of Deng Ai's smuggling into Yinping. He admired his decisiveness.

At the end of the Three Kingdoms, Wei State attacked Shu in three directions. General Ji Han, Jiang Wei, led his troops to defend Jiange. The Wei army could not capture for a long time and prepared to withdraw the troops. General Deng Ai, the Western Expedition, led the elite troops to the Yinping Road to capture the opponent's retreat.

Under his leadership, the Wei army crossed more than 700 miles of uninhabited areas and climbed over high mountains and valleys. They were in trouble many times. Finally, when they reached Mage Mountain, the road was cut off and they could not move forward or retreat for a while.

Deng Ai led the way and wrapped himself in felt to roll down the hillside. The Wei army unexpectedly reached Jiangyou, forced the surrender of the guard Ma Miao, and defeated the Ji Han Guard General Zhuge Zhan in Mianzhu. Then he attacked Chengdu with one rush and forced the surrender of the later ruler Liu Chan.

Wang Bian felt that although this time could not be compared with Deng Ai's smuggling through Yinping, if things were done, they would definitely leave a mark in the history books: Wang Bian's smuggling through Fengguan Mountain.

The Quan family in Shangluo sent people to Juyang to contact the Sui garrison. After Wang Bian followed the army to Juyang, he made an appointment with him as an insider. With the help of Quan family, the battle will definitely be successful. Now after going through a lot of hardships, he finally came to Fengguan Mountain. Just grit your teeth and persevere.

"Okay, the time is almost the same. Get the rope ready and it will be dark in a while."

It is very troublesome to march at night, and it is even more troublesome to climb mountains at night, so long ropes are essential to reduce the number of people who fall behind. Wang Bian looked ahead and thought that he could almost cross Fengguan Mountain as expected.

As scheduled to take advantage of the night to touch the outside of Shangluo City, the Quan family in the city will attack the north gate as planned. Once the city gate is opened, it will be time for them to make achievements.

Thinking of this, Wang Bian couldn't help but feel his blood surging. The breeze blew the branches and swayed. However, the normal scene made him notice something wrong: the swing of the grass in front was a bit abnormal!

The barking sounded suddenly, and then it caused a group of barking. The grass around suddenly disturbed, and many short figures rushed towards the Sui soldiers.

"Wooah!"

Screams were heard frequently, and the Sui soldiers were bitten in a mess by the sudden attacking evil dog. Just as Wang Bian shouted "Don't mess around", many "grass men" appeared in front of him, each holding bows and crossbows.
