Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

Chapter 90 The Yellow Flower Is Extraordinarily Fragrant ([-])
In August, Fengzhou was in an emergency, and Lu Yanke led troops to the north to pretend to support Fengzhou according to the plan, which really attracted a lot of Zhou troops and attention.

The Zhou army sent at least a thousand men to the narrowest part of the river valley to the south to prevent the army of Shu from going north.

And in the past few days, troops have been increasing to this line every day.

Li Yangui also continued to increase troops to the south, exerting pressure, and at the same time attracting the attention of the Zhou army to the south.

On the [-]th day of August, the bright moon was hanging high, the mountain wind whistled across the Malingzhai Mountain, the branches and leaves swayed and squeaked, and they were like living creatures.

Gao Yancuo and Wang Luan were wearing heavy armor, and the war horses under their crotch had been fed half an hour earlier. Looking at the vast mountains in the moonlight to the north, they were ups and downs, and the boundaries between heaven and earth became blurred, like a dark cloud with two distinct sides. He was full of ambition.

The mountains and rivers under the moon are really beautiful. If this battle is lost, I am afraid that this land will be difficult to set foot on.

Gao Yancuo has more ideas and ambitions than many generals. He was born as a general since he was a child.

If there is no success in this match, I am afraid that we will retreat to Qingniling and let Chen Cangdao out.

It is impossible for Fengzhou to hold on for a long time. The Shu army is not as capable of fighting as the Zhou army.

"Let's go." Gao Yanyu ordered.

The military orders were quickly issued in sequence, and the commanders led their troops from Malingzhai according to the order.

In order to march in secrecy, the army did not have a torch, thousands of people raised fire, the goal was still too big, but then the moonlight went north.

The dry food carried by many soldiers is not much, so there will be many supply pack animals in the future.

Walking at night is not easy. Some soldiers have black eyes at night and can't see anything, so these thousands of them are selected.

Going north along the Jialing River for a while, the bright moon is in the sky, and the sparkling river surface is particularly beautiful.

It was late autumn at this time, and the wind by the river was very cool at night.

Walking at night is not pleasant, but most of the soldiers are still wearing dozens of pounds of armor.

Gao Yanchu was riding on the horse, but felt a little cold, so he put on a cloak.

After walking along the Jialing River for half the night, about ten miles away, the army began to leave the Jialing River and head towards the valley to the north.

Going north along the river valley is Tangcang Town.

In order to march in secret, Gao Yancuo cautiously ordered that they would not walk during the day, and that the soldiers would rest in the woods on both sides of the mountain road.

The pickled dried meat and grain cakes were eaten by the mountain stream, and they slept on the spot. Because the army did not bring a tent to camp, this attack was hidden and could not be as usual.

At night, as the main general, Gao Yanyu could sleep on a felt pad, but it was still frighteningly cold. In this season, the grass and leaves on the roadside in the morning are covered with hoarfrost.

At this time, the soldiers who had been running and working all day forgot the cold and fell asleep, snoring one after another, and an unpleasant smell mixed with the smell of sweat and feet permeated both sides of the mountain road.

On the contrary, the generals who marched on horseback had difficulty falling asleep at this time, suffering from the chill of the night.

Gao Yan's wife, who couldn't sleep, had to ask the guide beside her, "How far is this place from Tangcang Town?"

The guide was a local, and he quickly agreed: "Report to the general, this road is familiar to you, and there are still three or five days' journey to the north from here."

"Jieshuai is asking you how many miles you have! It's not for you to talk nonsense." The lieutenant next to him couldn't help but interrupted. He had been frozen all night, and he was full of anger everywhere.

The guide was terrified.

Gao Yanchou was helpless and said to the lieutenant, "Don't talk."

"promise"

Then he turned to the guide: "Then tell me, according to our method, when will we be able to go to Tangcang Town."

The guide carefully agreed: "If it only shows up at night and walks at night, it will take five or six days, maybe four or seven days?"

Gao Yan's wife did not speak, and silently counted the time. Their destination was the Yellow Flower Valley in the east of Tangcang Town.

If you follow this approach, you will have enough time to arrive at Huanghuagu before September [-], he thought silently in his heart.

When I regained my senses, subconsciously stroking the beard was a little wet, and the humidity in the mountains and forests was very heavy.

Looking up at the hillside ahead, I vaguely felt a shadow flashing past in the woods.

"What?" Gao Yanyu frowned.

"Probably the birds and beasts in the woods." Wang Luan next to him said indifferently.

The guide nodded again and again: "There are so many monkeys in this generation, especially in autumn, they like to go to the fields to grab food. Last year, I killed one, the size of my child, and our family of five ate it for half a month. ."

"Okay, okay, shut up." Wang Luan couldn't help but stop the guide's chatter.

Gao Yancuo didn't speak, and stared at the distant mountain ridge for a while, and there was no other movement, and finally he was relieved.

Slowly, tiredness came to my heart, and I fell asleep.

At the end of August, Gao Yancuo led his army to Tangcang Town.

Tangcang Town is a place where three mountains meet. The hills on three sides are covered with yellowed wheat fields, such as dense golden stairs, which will surround a few houses in the center.

The winding avenue passes over the mountain ridge, overlooking the entire Tangcang Town. Gao Yanchou led the army to cross the road at night and gave an order not to disturb the people. Afterwards, 200 people were stationed in Tangcang Town, and the rest continued to go around the town. , heading east towards Huanghua Valley.

Going out of Tangcang Town to Huanghua Valley is divided into two roads, one goes around the deep mountains in the north, and the other goes to the river valley in the south.

The two roads eventually converge at a place about seven or eight miles west of Huanghua Valley, which looks like a dumpling when viewed from above.

But the road to the north is more difficult to walk, and the detour is farther, but it is far away from Chencang Avenue, and the probability of being discovered is even smaller.

The road to the south is more advanced and easier to walk, but the distance from the main road is only about ten miles away, separated by two or three mountain peaks, and there is a risk of being discovered by Zhou Jun scouts.

Gao Yanyu thought about it and decided to take the most difficult north road.

The surprise attack on Huanghua Valley is of great importance, and this victory is here in one fell swoop, so he cannot be careless.

Although there were some complaints in the army, the soldiers were afraid of the mountain road, the poisonous insects and leeches, the humid air, the bitter cold at night and the sweltering heat during the day, tormenting everyone all the time.

On the way north to Tangcang Town, dozens of people were left behind and left in the deep mountains.

Now that they have to take a detour to the deep mountains in the north, everyone is naturally reluctant. Gao Yanchou defied all opinions and insisted on taking the mountain road to the north.

Sometimes even whispered in front of him complaining.

Gao Yan's concubine did not hear it in her ears, and strictly enforced the established military orders.

By the beginning of September, the Shu army, who had traveled a long distance, finally walked out of the deep mountains in the north, and saw the villages in the Yellow Flower Valley in the east.

The whole army was excited and excited. The arduous march in the deep mountains and forests for more than ten consecutive days made everyone lose a bit of weight. There was a layer of greasy dirt under the skin. Holding an iron weapon, it is more like a wildman rushing out of the deep mountains.

Gao Yanyu was so excited that she didn't have time to ignore the filth all over her body, because victory was in sight!The Yellow Flower Valley is right in front of you!
