Chapter 229: Difficult and Dangerous Mountain Roads
As Zhang Liao led his army into Lin County, the Sen family was destroyed and his family was confiscated and exterminated. The people all applauded and ran around to tell each other.
Lin County Government Office and Zhang Liao convened Guo Jia, Pan Feng and Wenpin to discuss the matter.
"Lin County is only more than a hundred miles from Lishi, but Guancen Mountain is crossed and the road is even more steep. Now we have three roads to Lishi County. Which road do you think is suitable?"
Zhang Liao looked at the small sand table in front of him and asked with a heavy expression.
"The road to the north can bypass Guancen Mountain and enter Lishi County from Taiyuan County. However, it will take more than ten days to say this. It is half past the lord's one-month period. If we take this road, we will probably not be able to complete the task."
Wen Pin pointed to the road to the north and frowned.
"If we want to cross the tributary of Yuanhe in the southwest, as long as Cui Jun stationed one or two thousand people on the other side, our army will not be able to get through no matter how many people there are, let alone our army does not have a ferry in hand at the moment."
Pan Feng smiled bitterly.
"Then our army can only walk on Guancen Mountain?"
Looking at the steep mountain road, Zhang Liao also frowned.
"I'm afraid our army can only go this way."
Guo Jia said with a wry smile.
A few days later, Zhang Liao led a large army to Guancen Mountain. Looking at the mountain road in front of him that could only accommodate two or three people, Zhang Liao said in a deep voice: "It's too dangerous. If you encounter a hidden place, you will have no hope of escaping."
There was a steep cliff above and a deep cliff below, which made Zhang Liao hesitate for a moment.
"Our army cannot place all hope on this road. Jia suggests sending an army to bypass Guancen Mountain from the north and enter Lishi County."
Guo Jia suddenly felt a lot of pressure and immediately suggested.
"Well, I'm just thinking." Zhang Liao nodded after hearing this, "Pan Feng, you lead the soldiers of Fenweiying from the five schools to bypass Guancen Mountain from the north to attack Lishi County."
"Receive the order!"
Pan Feng immediately took the order and left.
"One team will go to explore the way first, and each team must be more than five meters apart."
After Pan Feng left, Zhang Liao immediately ordered.
"This is a good method. Even if Cui Jun really ambushed here, our army's casualties can be minimized."
Guo Jia smiled when he heard this.
Then Zhang Liao's army pulled a long dragon on the mountain road of Guancen Mountain. Because the mountain road was rugged, an hour later, the vanguard of Zhang Liao's army only walked for a mile.
Above the cliff, a group of people were looking at Zhang Liaojun at the foot of the mountain coldly. The leader was wearing a long gown, a feather fan and a rustling scarf, and was elegant. It was the prefect of Xihe County, Cui Jun and Cui Zhouping.
"Sir, Zhang Liao's army has reached the foot of the mountain!"
As the soldiers of Zhang Liao's army continued to move forward, the general hurriedly said to Cui Jun.
"Um!"
Cui Jun was unmoved and just whispered softly to indicate that he stopped talking after knowing this.
Cui Jun glanced at the ambushing soldiers around him. There were four or five thousand people, stretching for several miles. Then he looked down at the mountain. The Liao marching was quite particular. Each hundred people were one team, and each team was separated by four or five feet apart. If one was hit, the rest would know that if the entire attack was made, the huge rocks and solid wood prepared in advance would become useless because it was extremely difficult to move. This time, Cui Jun hesitated and uneasy.
"Lord, it would be too late if you don't do it!"
When general Xu Rui saw that Zhang Liao's army had already passed by three or four thousand people, he quickly said anxiously.
"Did you see Zhang Liao himself pass?"
Since you can only attack one or several teams, Cui Jun naturally has to wait until Zhang Liao himself will take action.
"No!"
Xu Rui replied.
"Zhang Wenyuan is really cunning. No wonder Yang Fan was entrusted with important tasks at a young age."
Cui Jun was quite handsome and calm, just watching Zhang Liao's army advance slowly at the foot of the mountain, but did not order to take action. It can be seen that this man is extremely wise and is a great enemy.
"Master, we..."
Xu Rui was interrupted by Cui Jun even if he wanted to persuade him, and he smiled and said, "Don't be anxious! Wait!"
It seems that Cui Jun became famous early not because of his father Cui Lie, but because of real talent.
Soon, Cui Jun saw a team of 100 people from Zhang Liao's army slowly approaching from a distance and slowly entering his sight. The team was the first to look very young, and the armor he wore was different from other soldiers of Zhang Liao's army. There was also a young man dressed in a literati next to him. Cui Jun immediately concluded that this person was Zhang Liao who he was waiting for.
"Xu Rui, keep an eye on this prefect. As long as he enters the ambush site of our army, he will fight me to death and only fight this team of people."
Cui Jun smiled on his face, like a gentleman, but his words showed iron and ruthlessness.
"Only play this team?"
Xu Rui was stunned when he heard this, thinking that he hadn't heard it clearly, so he quickly confirmed again.
"That's right, only playing this 100-man team! As I expected, those two are Zhang Liao and Guo Jia. As long as they are killed, the rest will be worth worrying."
Cui Jun nodded and smiled.
"Abide by the order!"
Following Cui Jun's gesture, Xu Rui also discovered the unusualness of the two of them, and immediately took the order and left.
Zhang Liao, who was walking hard at the foot of the mountain, suddenly felt a sense of emptiness in his heart, and then his hair was thorny all over his body. He looked up at the cliff, but he found nothing except trees and stones. He stopped and lowered his head to think.
"Wen Yuan, but what clues have you discovered?"
Guo Jia, who was not far away, saw Zhang Liao stop, and then stepped forward and asked.
"For some reason, I suddenly felt that there were many people staring at me, but when I looked up, I found nothing."
Zhang Liao frowned and said that his years of military career made him very sensitive to crisis. With just a few subtle actions, Zhang Liao could tell whether he would pose a threat to him. The feeling I just hadn't appeared for a long time on Zhang Liao. I remember that the last time I appeared was when I was fighting Zhou Cang on the banks of the Liaohe River. After many years, the feeling at that time appeared again, which made Zhang Liao inevitably a little confused. Then Zhang Liao expressed his thoughts.
"Wen Yuan, you have been fighting on the battlefield all year round. Suddenly, you feel this way. There must be a reason for it. I think we might as well retreat for the time being."
Guo Jia frowned and said.
"Ke Wenpin and they have passed!"
Zhang Liao said with an ugly expression.
"There must be ambushing on the cliff, but not too many. I think it is coming to you, Zhang Wenyuan. If they don't take action at this time, it must be that we have not yet entered their ambush circle."
Guo Jia said with confidence.
"Can..."
Zhang Liao was about to speak, but was interrupted by Guo Jia and said, "When the Duan is constantly in trouble, Wen Yuan, you are the commander of our army. Anyone can die, but you cannot die. Those who have passed will be sent to them and let them stay there!"
