Martial Arts: Start with 100,000 Xiliang Cavalry

Chapter 39 The Bright Threat
Shen Lian waited for a long time, but none of the soldiers who went to deliver letters on the mountain came back.

He probably guessed that the person was either detained or killed.

If this is the case, then according to the order Su Yuan gave him, what he has to do now is to attack the entire Yunshan faction.

At this time, the servants of the Cangzhang County Yamen came with several hunters from the county.

Several hunters were a little frightened when they approached the army, and the yamen servant even ran away after bringing them there, unwilling to wait for a second.

Shen Lian said to the others: "You don't have to worry, I just want to ask you a few questions about Daogoushan, and I won't make things difficult for you. And I will give each of you ten taels of silver as a reward afterwards."

Ten taels of silver!

The spirits of the hunters lifted, they may not be able to earn twelve taels after hunting for several years.

One person immediately said: "Thank you, my lord, the villain must know everything and say everything!"

"Ah."

Shen Lian asked: "Do you know how many entrances and exits there are in this Duan Hulu Mountain?"

"There are two mountain roads in total!" said a hunter, "One is the right road, go straight up from the head of Shandong. There is also a small dirt road in the west, although it is steeper, it can still be walked, but you have to beware of some mountain boars and poisonous snakes."

"Yes, Lao Li is right."

"That's it."

The other two hunters also nodded in agreement.

Suddenly, one of the older hunters thought of something: "Yes, my lord. There is another road, behind the waterfall on the mountain..."

"What nonsense! There is a cliff behind that! How can we walk?" Orion surnamed Li retorted.

The elder Orion shook his head: "We can't leave, but you forgot that the Yunshan faction are all masters of martial arts, and they have lightness kung fu, so they can leave if they can't."

As soon as these words came out, the other hunters were startled.

Indeed, they overlooked the point.

Shen Lian also nodded again and again: "This is indeed very important. It's good that you can think of it. I will give you an extra 50 taels of silver afterwards."

The elder Orion was overjoyed when he heard the words: "Thank you, thank you sir."

Afterwards, Shen Lian immediately ordered soldiers to guard each of the three roads.

Since he was going to decide to attack the Yunshan faction, Shen Lian naturally had to seal off all the passages down the mountain first, lest anyone who slipped through the net would escape.

He himself led the main force of the army and stationed at Dongtou Zhengdao.

Looking up, one can vaguely see a figure swaying in the mountains and forests. Obviously, people from the Yunshan faction are also monitoring the movement of the army below the mountain.

Shen Lian didn't take it seriously, and didn't order the army to go up the mountain.

War is to use one's own strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses.

Now, Shen Lian's "strength" is military strength, while the "strength" of Yunshan faction is the narrow and steep mountain road of Duanhulu Mountain.

If Shen Lian sent an army up the mountain, there would be many casualties.

Maybe at a certain small pass, with an innate master sitting in the fortress, he can block the road up the mountain and prevent the army from passing through.

For this reason, before Shen Lian set off, Su Yuan specially told him not to lead troops up the mountain at will, so as not to get into trouble.

So, after Shen Lian was stationed at this moment, he asked the soldiers to bring him to the front of the army.

I saw two people who were dying and tied with ropes were being carried by the Zhenbei Army.

The two looked sluggish, almost out of phase, with wounds all over their bodies, looking miserable.

These two are none other than the second of the four brothers who assassinated Su Yuan back then.

After they were arrested, they were interrogated by Shen Lian, and after a torture, they said everything.

Now, their spirits have collapsed. Although they are still alive, they are just walking corpses hanging on their breath.

Su Yuan didn't let Shen Lian kill the two of them at the beginning, because he thought it was still useful.

Wouldn't it come in handy now?

The two were thrown in front of the army, and Shen Lian made several soldiers shout in unison:
"The Yanyun Mountain Sect will go down the mountain within an hour, or they will be beheaded!"

Threats, blatant threats.

The disciples in the forest who were in charge of monitoring the movement of the Zhenbei Army were shocked when they saw this scene, and hurried back to report.

Everyone in the Yunshan faction was filled with righteous indignation when they heard about this.

"This group of despicable and shameless people!"

Even though Liu Yunfeng has a good self-cultivation skill, he couldn't help but yell at this moment.

Threatening with disciples in the sect is a very despicable behavior in Jianghu, and a decent sect would never do such a thing.

But Zhenbei Army is not a decent family, and Shen Lian doesn't know what it means to be "despicable and shameless". He is just a Jinyiwei who does everything to implement Su Yuan's will.

"It seems that Su Yuan still has some brains, he knows that he can't go up the mountain easily... Now..."

The elders showed embarrassment, they looked at the disciples not far away, and the disciples also looked at this side eagerly.

As disciples, they must have a sense of substitution for the two of Yamashita.

If the elders in charge choose not to save people, then if they don't say anything, they will definitely "pull the cold and pull the cold" in their hearts.

Because the other disciples are not saved by the mountain gate, if they encounter this situation, the mountain gate will not be saved either.

Once such thoughts appear, it will inevitably cause a rift in the relationship.Now that the enemy is at hand, it is time to unite...

Liu Yunfeng naturally understood this. He was about to speak when he saw layman Xuanzhu and Elder Zhenlong walking out together.

"you……"

He could understand Layman Xuanzhu, if a master, if he watched his apprentice being beheaded and remained indifferent, then this master-disciple show was purely for show.

But Elder Zhenlong seemed to want to go down the mountain with him.

"Xuanzhu and I will fight together!" Zhenlong usually has a violent temper, but now he said calmly, "Save the two disciples first!"

"……it is good."

Both of them are innate masters, and there is a certain chance of saving people when they make a sudden move.

But you can't go so recklessly.

Liu Yunfeng said: "You two wait a moment."

He personally went to the sect warehouse and took out two sets of armor.

"You two can also defend against the bows and arrows of the Northern Army."

The reason why Jianghu masters are afraid of the army is because of the powerful bows and crossbows in the army.

If it's just a sword, it's actually okay, if you can't beat it, you can escape with light work.

But bows and crossbows are not enough to deal with light functions. In the two years when the Martial Edict was issued decades ago, many masters of the rivers and lakes died under the random arrows of the army, which was very miserable.

Liu Yunfeng didn't want the two to end up like this.

The Yunshan faction had several sets of armor, Layman Xuanzhu and Elder Zhenlong wore one set each, and without further ado, they all swept down the mountain together.

Some disciples couldn't help asking: "Master, why don't we go down the mountain together? Just grab that Su Yuan..."

Liu Yunfeng shook his head: "It's too dangerous. The Zhenbei Army has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. Even if we can catch Su Yuan, we will probably die or injure more than half of them. Not to mention that Su Yuan is despicable and cunning, he won't let us catch him so easily."

"That's right." An elder said, "What we have to do is to stick to it. Tens of thousands of troops, they can't afford food and grass. We stick to the mountain. In a few days, the northern army in this town will go back without food." .”

"Bringing this matter up..." Liu Yunfeng showed a worried look, "I'm afraid that the Zhenbei Army will not have enough food and grass, so they will rob Cangzhang County."

"He dares?... Mozhou Zhoumu, shouldn't let it go?"
