"What's the situation?" Nangong Feiran asked.

"Report to the general." Wu Jiuhu said in horror: "We have been tricked." He took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Nangong Feiran.

Nangong Feiran took the letter, which was a personal letter from Yong'an Gatekeeper Jin Dacheng.

It turned out that the Liao army only attacked Yong'an Pass with a small number of troops, but it has always claimed to have [-] backup troops.That's why Jin Dacheng hurriedly reported it to the imperial court, but the Liao Kingdom did send [-] soldiers, but the destination was not Yong'an Pass.

I think it was because Hua Shaorong, the major general of the Liao Dynasty, suffered a loss at Yong'an Pass last time. He knew that Yong'an Pass was easy to defend and difficult to attack, so he turned to attack Hukou Pass this time.

Hukou Pass is the southwestern border pass of the Liang State, and the southwest is the prairie. However, because it is far away from the Liao State, there are not many guards, and the imperial court does not pay much attention to it.

It seems that this time, the Liao Kingdom was really well-intentioned, and they went in such a big circle to attack the Hukou Pass in the southwest.And Jin Dacheng also always felt that the Liao army was only stationed outside Yong'an Pass and did not attack. He always felt strange, thinking that they would wait for reinforcements, so he sent people to investigate, and this investigation led to such a major event.

"Is what Jin Dacheng said true?" Nangong Feiran asked.

"General, the last general has already checked, and what Commander Jin said is true." Wu Jiuhu replied.

"Estimated how long it will take for the Liao Army to reach Hukou Pass." Nangong Feiran asked Wu Jiuhu.

"General, it is estimated that the whole army will reach Hukou Pass in at most three days." Wu Jiuhu said.

"Master, the terrain outside Hukou Pass is vast, easy to attack and difficult to defend." Jing Dong said.

Nangong Feiran said seriously: "If you pass the order, the whole army will advance immediately. We must reach Hukou Pass before the Liao army, and we must overwhelm them in terms of momentum."

"But master, it takes at least five days for us to go to Hukou Pass from here." Jing Dong said.It seems impossible to reach Hukou Pass before the Liao army.

"I don't care. You are not allowed to eat or sleep along the way. You must arrive before the Liao army. Wait until you reach the Hukou Pass and make adjustments." Nangong Feiran ordered.He started to organize his things.

Jing Dong and Wu Jiuhu took orders to retreat.

Hukou Pass is located in the southwest of Daliang. There are many herdsmen here, and there are few wars. It is a relatively safe pass among several border passes in Daliang.

It was precisely because of this that the guard Tang Zheng didn't worry too much on weekdays, he just enjoyed leisure and was a free guard.

But today's Tang Zheng couldn't relax anymore.In the morning, Tang Zheng received a letter written by Jin Dacheng, the guard of Yong'an Gate, and learned that the [-] troops of the Liao Army were coming here in mighty force.At first he was very skeptical, because if the Liao army wanted to attack Daliang, it would be the most impossible choice to choose Hukou Pass, but when the spies he sent came back and said that there was indeed a large army coming, he had to believe it.

According to the report from the spies, it would take about three days before the Liao army arrived at Hukou Pass, but Tang Zheng was not at all happy, three days?Enough for what?Enough for him to pack up and escape with his wife and children?

Tang Zheng did indeed do this, but his end was miserable. When Nangong Feiran led an army of [-] to Hucheng, a head was hanging on the city gate, and it seemed that it had been hanging there for a long time.

This head belonged to the guard Tang Zheng. When he was escaping, he was beheaded by Lieutenant General Ling Feng and hung on the tower for public display.At the same time, Ling Feng wrote to the imperial court, while dispatching troops and generals to arrange everything.Ling Feng is a soldier, an out-and-out soldier, he knows that even if he dies, he should die on the battlefield, and Tang Zheng's way of surrendering without a fight, ignoring the whole city's people, angered him.

Nangong Feiran was not surprised when he saw Tang Zheng's head. He had heard of Ling Feng a long time ago. It's just that this person is fond of gambling. When he was working for the court in Luoyang City, he was demoted here by the emperor because he was greedy for gambling and missed a major event. .I heard that he gave up gambling after he got here, and he has been training soldiers.

Ling Feng personally greeted Nangong Feiran, but seeing that the [-] soldiers under Nangong Feiran were all covered with mud and looked very tired, he was worried how such soldiers could fight against the [-] elite tiger and wolf division of Daliao.

"General Nangong, what are your plans now?" Ling Feng asked.

Nangong Feiran stood on the tower of Hukou Pass, observed the surrounding terrain, and asked, "How long will it take for the Liao army to arrive?"

"About this time tomorrow." Ling Feng replied.

"Very good." Nangong Feiran said to Jing Dong: "Now pass down the order, let everyone have a good rest, rest for five hours, and wait for orders at night."

Jing Dong took the order to retreat.

Ling Feng was puzzled, because he didn't know how Nangong Feiran brought his soldiers here. For three whole days, he didn't sleep, and even the time for eating was greatly reduced by him. Hurry up now.

Nangong Feiran knew that he was racing against time, but he had to arrive before the Liao army arrived. The Liao army also dreamed that Nangong Feiran's army would arrive before them. He did it, and he had already said in Jingdong When it was impossible, I told him that nothing was impossible.

Now, not only did he want to surprise the Liao army, but he also wanted to tell them why Nangong Feiran was a myth on the battlefield with some practical actions!

"General, Hukou Pass is easy to attack and difficult to defend. We might as well retreat to a place that is beneficial to us and then make plans." Ling Feng asked tentatively. He knew that his idea was embarrassing, but he told the truth. The terrain of the grassland is high, and the cavalry of the Liao army rushed down in one go, and they had no way to resist it.

"Easy to attack but difficult to defend?" Sure enough, Nangong Feiran said in a disdainful tone: "I am here to defeat the enemy, not to defend the city." Then he paused and said, "Because Tang Zheng wanted to leave Hucheng, you Beheaded, but now you have such an idea, what are you going to do with yourself?"

Seeing Nangong Feiran's expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, Ling Feng was a little dumb, and said: "I'm doing this as an expedient measure, but Tang Zheng wants to run away."

"An expedient measure? How do you know what Tang Zheng is thinking?" Nangong Feiran said seriously: "If it wasn't for the emergency, you would have committed the following crimes, do you know? Tang Zheng did something wrong, and the imperial court has to deal with him. When is it your turn to do it, you must know that you are a soldier, and your mission is to obey!"

Ling Feng didn't expect that Nangong Feiran would say such a thing, and explained: "Everyone knows that the Liao army is attacking, if I didn't do that, it might be difficult to deter the army."

"Army's morale is used to subdue, not to shock." Nangong Feiran sighed and said, "If you don't accept Tang Zheng's actions but kill him, then your subordinates can also kill you if you accept you? You should know , as a general, you must set an example for yourself in everything!"

"The last general would like to follow the general's instruction." Ling Feng said.

"Okay, that's all. Now, you accompany Ben to go out of the city to have a look. We can't just wait for the Liao army to invade and do nothing."

"General." The left general beside Nangong Feiran reminded: "You haven't rested for three days, you should take a rest."

Nangong Fei smiled and looked at the generals behind him. These people were all his long-term comrades in arms and had an extraordinary friendship with him.But at this time, although these people's faces were tired, they were more determined to win the battle.

"You are the ones who haven't rested for three days, how can I rest if you haven't rested?" Nangong Feiran asked back with a smile.

"But general..." General You also tried to persuade Nangong Feiran to rest.

"Okay, don't persuade me anymore." Nangong Feiran waved his hand, and then said: "The enemy is approaching, I'm just like you, how can I rest peacefully. Let's talk about it after winning the battle. Get some sleep, and don't bother me at that time." Nangong Feiran walked down the city with a smile, and several lieutenants hurriedly followed.

Only then did Ling Feng know why the soldiers of Nangong Feiran looked so tired. It turned out that these people traveled day and night in order to arrive before the Liao army. Real, but not vague at all, not feeling tired at all.

Ling Feng couldn't help admiring Nangong Feiran. He knew Nangong Feiran before, but at that time he thought that everything about Nangong Feiran was given by his father, Prince Hui, who was very good at fighting, and Ling Feng admired him very much. Nangong Feiran, because he was too young, Lingfeng always believed that his god of war was formed under the support of Prince Hui, but seeing him today, he couldn't help but admire him.

What Ling Feng didn't know was that during this battle, he would admire Nangong Feiran more and more, but these are all things to come, what he has to do now is to accompany Nangong Feiran to take a walk outside the city.

"Have you found out about the other party's situation?" Nangong Feiran asked

"Back to the general, the coach of Daliao is Dongfang Chengjian, the third prince of the Liao Kingdom. And some of his lieutenants and vanguards have also found out the majority."

"Dongfang Chengjian..." Nangong Feiran murmured.

He knew this Dongfang Chengjian, and he had fought against this person on the battlefield.This person is resourceful, good at using cunning tricks, and can often defeat the enemy by surprise.And this person is also the most promising prince of Daliao.But this man was very warlike and ambitious, and he wanted to conquer Liang Guo by force.

It seems that this time the opponent is very strong, Nangong Feiran thought to himself.But what he thought more about was what to do so that Dongfang Chengjian would never return. If Dongfang Chengjian was pulled out, the main beam would be safe for several years.

Dongfang Chengjian is indeed such a person, but at this time Dongfang Chengjian is still immersed in joy.He is good at using cunning tricks, often catching people by surprise, what Nangong Feiran said is right.And Nangong Feiran must have seen his first trick.

Dongfang Chengjian thought that Nangong Feiran must be on his way to Yong'an Pass with his troops now, and when he arrived at Yong'an Pass, he would find that it was just the first step in his move, and it was just a hot spot.

At that time, Nangong Feiran was leading troops from Yong'an Pass to Hukou Pass, haha, I am afraid that by the time he arrived at Hukou Pass, the Daliao flag had already been planted on the top of Hukou Pass.

Dongfang Chengjian immediately thought, playing with Nangong Feiran like this seems very interesting, I heard that this god of war has never been defeated before, so this time, he must let Nangong Feiran lose terribly.

"Brother, this move of yours is really interesting. It didn't cost a single soldier, and it easily delayed Liang Jun's time." At the fitness side of Dongfang City, a young man with the appearance of an adjutant said mischievously, but judging from the delicate look on her brows It can be seen that this person is a woman, yes, this woman is the princess Dongfang Lingyue of Daliao, and she is also a woman who has a private life with the eleventh prince.

"In the future, my brother will conquer Luoyang, make my good brother-in-law the emperor, and let him make you a queen, haha." Dongfang Chengjian smiled, but he only said these words to Dongfang Lingyue's eleventh prince, Nangong. Quan He just listened, when he really captured Luoyang, hehe, he might just save Nangong Quanhe's life for his sister's sake, but now, he still has a place for Nangong Quanhe.

"General, Tongtianjian is in front of you. Once you pass Tongtianjian, you will see a vast grassland, and Hukou Pass is like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered." The deputy general at the fitness side of Dongfang City reminded.

"Well, pass the order, cheer me up, and charge me after passing the Tongtianjian. Liang Jun, who I want to kill, will be caught off guard." Dongfang Chengjian felt his heart start to burn. He seemed to see the guard at Hukou Pass kneeling. The scene of begging for mercy at his feet.

"Although Hukou Pass is easy to attack and difficult to defend, Tongtianjian is a natural barrier in front of Hukou Pass." The eleventh prince said suspiciously: "The reason why Hukou was locked here in the first place was because Because of the protection of Tongtianjian, if there are ambush troops in Tongtianjian..."

The eleventh prince was interrupted by Dongfang Chengjian before he finished speaking: "Brother Nangong, don't worry, there are only a few thousand soldiers in Hukou Pass. If you dare to lay an ambush here, I will make Tongtianjian their graveyard."

"But..." The Eleventh Prince wanted to say more.

"There is nothing but, hmph, the biggest but is that unless Nangong Feiran and his soldiers grow wings and fly over from Yong'an Pass, hmph, otherwise, he can only vent his anger by cursing on the road. Hahaha..." Dongfang City Jian smiled arrogantly.

Tongtianjian is a dark and dense forest. The road is narrow and long, with woods on both sides, but the forest is slightly higher, so if you set up an ambush in the woods, people passing by will be easily attacked, but Dongfang City is a bit healthier at this time. They are not only concerned about this problem.

Because he was sure that there were not enough soldiers to set up an ambush in Hukou Pass. If they dared to set up an ambush, then all he had to do was to rush out. He had a hundred thousand troops, and when he rushed out, he would face an empty city.Forgive him that the guard at Hukou Pass did not have such a heavy burden to dare to set up an ambush here.

Dongfang Chengjian looked wrong and had slowly entered Tongtianjian. His team was like a long dragon, winding and circling.

And he himself is also triumphantly fantasizing that he can charge directly when he leaves Tongtianjian after a while. They have the advantage of the terrain, and his cavalry can charge straight to the Hukou Pass. Haha, he felt that his soldiers at that time were like Liang Jun appeared in front of them like a divine soldier from heaven, and they would definitely be stunned.

Dongfang Chengjian rode a tall horse into Tongtianjian without any hesitation.

Quiet, his first impression was that he didn't seem to hear anything other than the voices of his troops.There were no birds chirping, no wind, and no leaves rustling. The stillness under the scorching sun made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Dongfang Chengjian was not the only one who noticed this. Nangong Quanhe behind him had been closely watching the woods on both sides. Nangong Quanhe, who was suspicious by nature, felt that especially at this time, he couldn't take it lightly.

Sure enough, Nangong Quanhe still found clues. There seemed to be pairs of eyes staring at them in the woods, but the light reflected from the armors of several Liang Jun made him realize that this was not an illusion, they had fallen into Liang Jun's trap. Ambush circle.

"There is an ambush!" The eleventh prince shouted, then turned his horse's head and urged the horse to retreat.

Soon, the sound of killing in front shook the sky.Although Dongfang Chengjian was extremely surprised, he still knew that he should withdraw as soon as possible.It's just that he didn't understand where these troops came from until his death, but the troops behind were still rushing forward, and the front was also in a mess. It was very difficult to retreat.

"Everyone rush over to me, those who rush out will be rewarded!" Dongfang Chengjian shouted.In fact, he didn't have to shout that, the soldiers would rush out desperately.

And after rushing out, it was another blow to the head. People and horses had already been deployed here, and they were waiting for them to come out.Dongfang Chengjian was completely stunned. Where did so many Liang Jun come from all of a sudden, he absolutely did not believe it was Nangong Feiran's army.

Nangong Feiran played chess with Lingfeng on the tower.

"General, aren't you worried about Tongtianjian at all?" Ling Feng asked.

"Haha, Lieutenant General Ling, that's why you have already lost many games, because I was concentrating on playing chess, while you were still thinking about other things." Nangong Feiran said and dropped another move, and then relaxed Said: "Dead chess, Lieutenant Ling, you have lost again." As he spoke, he put the chess pieces in his hand into the chess box, with a confident expression on his face.

"But, Tongtianjian..." Ling Feng said, Nangong Feiran is really weird, he said yesterday that he was here to fight off the enemy, but now it looks more like he is here to recuperate.

"Lieutenant Ling, as a general, it is important to strategize and win thousands of miles. It is not to do everything by yourself." Then he paused and said: "Since I have arranged everything, I need to All I have to do is wait for the result, is it useful for me to worry now?"

"But, general, aren't you afraid of accidents?" Ling Feng asked puzzled.

"Accidents? Accidents are everywhere." Nangong Feiran said and stood up: "It is these accidents that are everywhere that can test the talents of those generals who lead troops to fight." Nangong Feiran said: "I give them all Military strategy, but how to implement it, what about their affairs at that time, do I have to teach them? No, these are not handed over, these things are learned by myself through years of practical experience."

"Of course I'm afraid of accidents, but nothing in this world is perfect, and it's impossible to be seamless. So there must be accidents, but even if I think of something now, it won't help, so instead of worrying about it, it's better not to think about it, etc. Let's talk when we really get the news." Nangong Feiran walked to the top of the city and looked into the distance.

He believes that those soldiers who have followed him through the battlefield will not let him down.

Sure enough, after a short while, someone was seen appearing in the field of vision, and then, more and more, it was his troops.

"General, a great victory in the first battle!" After closing the tiger's mouth, General Zuo reported the results to Nangong Feiran: "The Liao army was killed by us in chaos, but we obeyed your order and did not chase after them. We only seized part of their food and grass. .”

"Yeah. It's better not to chase after him. Don't chase after poor people. I'm afraid the situation will change if you keep chasing." Nangong Feiran said: "Dongfang Chengjian suffered a dumb loss, and he won't let it go. You just need to follow the plan, now, I have to go to sleep." Nangong Feiran stood up and walked towards the backyard after speaking.

Very well, everything is proceeding according to his plan. If part of Dongfang Chengjian's food and grass is seized, the army will be in chaos, but Dongfang Chengjian will inevitably become angry and rush to attack. It's best to be like this. What awaits him is another trap.
