Yang Zheng expected that Jiang Fanye's life would not be easy. He had already offended Midang and Erhe Shaoge in Baishi Valley that day.

I just didn't expect Oho Shaoge to come to my door so quickly.

However, Mingyue Gorge is located in the Conghua Ridge area in the southwest, belonging to the eastern foothills of Jishi Mountain and the west of Minshan Mountain, just sandwiched between the forces of Yesujiang and Midang.

With the troops at hand now, it is no problem to fight against Russia and burn weapons, but it is a bit difficult to fight against Mi Dang and cultivate Sujiang.

After thinking for a while, I decided to save him.

First of all, Jiang Fane is his father-in-law and elder brother. With these two relationships, it is impossible not to save him.

Secondly, Jiang Fane is an enlightened person among the Qiang people and has some reputation among the Qiang people. If he wants to manage the Qiang Di, he must have a right-hand assistant and vanguard.

After thinking about it, Yang Zheng wrote a letter to Xiahou Ba, saying bluntly that Jiang Fane was besieged by the Qiang people and he should go to mediate.

Mediation by words alone is definitely not enough. You have to bring a knife with you in everything you do these days.

With more than 3,000 regular troops at hand, Yang Zheng led a thousand Qiang camps and a thousand Qian camps, leaving 800 men for Zhou Yu to defend the city.

The only armor and weapons were taken away by Yang Zheng.

If there are not enough, they can only be replaced by collected miscellaneous weapons.

Axes, hatchets, kitchen knives, broken swords, mallets... there are all sorts of random things.

Metal is a precious commodity in this era.

Yang Zheng looked at his men and felt that they were really unseemly.

If you expand too fast, you will have shortcomings.

Some time ago, Yang Zheng had a hint of ambition. When he saw the military appearance today, it was really terrible. Not to mention the armor, some of the Qiang soldiers even had their clothes patched together...

There are only 600 soldiers and more than 100 veterans of the Wuwei camp.

Fatty Feng said he would provide equipment, but he disappeared in a flash and there was no news from him.

Yang Zheng felt that he was not going on a military expedition, but leading a group of beggars to beg for food...

Then I thought about it, wasn't it just to beg for food from Oho Shaoge?

If he doesn't give it, then the white knife goes in and the red knife comes out.

The wind and snow outside the city have long since stopped, but the cold wind is still there.

The ice on the Yellow River can carry people across it.

I haven’t seen it for more than a month, but the Xihe camp is already looking pretty good, with antlers, towers, and bunkers, one after another. Hundreds of Qiang soldiers are training with wooden spears, and they are all in good spirits.

"Ehe Shaoge has always been cunning. General, you must be careful during this trip." Zhang Te reminded.

Yang Zheng's heart moved. He was thinking about Er He Shao Ge. It was hard to say that he wasn't thinking about himself.

This man is not an ordinary Qiang chief. He has a close relationship with the Qiang king. Yang Zheng has already experienced his chicken thieves.

It was said that this guy knew about Jiang Fane's relationship with him and still dared to take action, which inevitably meant something different.

A great man once said that you can despise the enemy strategically, but you must pay attention to it tactically.

During this period, the Qiang people were migrating and suppressing bandits, which must have alarmed Erhe Shaoge.

You are working hard on an expedition, while the enemy is waiting for work.

The right time, right place and right people are all in his hands.

"Could it be that Ohe Shaoge wanted to make money from me and deliberately let Jiang Adao go to ask for help?" Yang Zheng expressed his guess.

Zhang Te frowned, "The terrain of Mingyue Gorge is complicated, and ambushes can be hidden everywhere. The Qiang people have always held grudges. If the general did bad things to Russia twice, it would be a good thing to burn the enemy. It is reasonable for the other party to seek revenge."

Yang Zheng ordered his men to summon Jiang Adao. The fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy broke out of the enemy's siege without any injuries, which was somewhat unjustifiable.

And Jiang Adao was not born a fierce man.

"How did you break out?"

Jiang Adao rubbed his arrogant hair and said, "He rushed out."

"You're the only one who rushed out?"

These words seemed to touch upon his sadness, and his eyes quickly became misty, "My father chose the twenty bravest people to protect me... and asked me to find you... him, and they all died on the road..."

Yang Zheng and Zhang Te looked at each other, probably already knowing what was going on.

The Wilderness Tribe was originally a small tribe, with only about a thousand capable warriors in the tribe.

And the Erhe Shaoge is a large tribe, so there is no reason why they couldn't conquer Mingyue Gorge for so long.

"Please general, please save daddy quickly." Jiang Azao burst into tears.

"What a man, why are you crying!" Yang Zheng's face darkened.

Jiang Adao's crying stopped suddenly.

"You are now a man too. Men don't shed tears when they bleed." Yang Zheng patted his shoulder.

"Know yourself and your enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger. I will lead a hundred scouts to investigate." Zhang Te volunteered.

The terrain of Mingyue Gorge is complicated, covered with ice and snow, and Erhe Shaoge is a local snake. It is not that easy to detect the ambush.

Playing hide and seek in the ice and snow is not a wise choice.

In view of the special geographical location of Mingyue Gorge, it is better to fight quickly. If it alarms Ye Sujiang or attracts confusion, it will not be easy to get away with it.

Scouts are the elite of the army, mostly made up of veterans of the Wuwei camp and Qiang warriors.

Losing one is a huge loss for Yang Zheng now.

"No, I will lead six hundred soldiers and one hundred personal soldiers in front, and your two thousand troops will be behind. If anyone attacks me, you can stay behind."

"As a general, how can a general take risks? His subordinates should lead the seven hundred Qiang soldiers in front!"

Yang Zheng laughed and said, "Is it possible that Zichan looks down on someone? That day in Luo Valley, the Shu army was heavily surrounded. Arrows were like locusts and knives were like mountains. Why don't we fight our way out? The six hundred soldiers all had armors and hands.

Holding a sword and shield, I have black light armor and a gorgeous collar sword. What can Oho Shaoge do to me? Besides, if Oho Shaoge can’t see me, will he take action easily? If you don’t enter the tiger’s den, you won’t catch the tiger’s cub!”

Seeing that what Yang Zheng said was reasonable and resolute, Zhang Te stopped arguing and clasped his fists and said, "General, please be careful."

"No problem!"

If you can't beat Jiang Wei, can you still beat Erhe Shaoge?

The plan was decided, and Yang Zheng then led one hundred personal soldiers and six hundred soldiers in front. In the formation, he raised a banner of "Yang, the Commander-in-Chief of Western Wei".

Zhang Te gathered all the Qiang people from the Xihe camp and followed behind.

The flag was made of only rags, and the words were written in sheep's blood. They were crooked and nondescript.

With Yang Zheng's current level, he is not qualified to purchase a tooth flag.

According to the military system of Cao and Wei, only generals with mixed numbers are qualified to wave the flag.

But in order to attract Oho Shaoge, I had to do this.

The further south you go, the more rugged the terrain becomes. Snowy mountains and rocks block the road, making it impossible for the war horses to move. Yang Zheng had no choice but to abandon his war horses.

The benefits of rigorous training were realized at this time. The soldiers wore armor, carried swords and shields, and walked for more than 20 miles on the rugged mountain road without blushing or panting.

In the northwest, it gets dark earlier.

It was calm all day, and we found a sheltered place to set up camp.

After chewing cold and hard dry food, the soldiers fell asleep without leaving their armor.

In ancient wars, mastering geography and geographical advantages is basically half the battle won. Many roads are not traveled by humans at all.

The barren mountains and ridges are filled with the desolation of ancient times.

The sad howling of wolves and howling of the wind lasted almost all night.

On the second day, as we gradually deepened, enemy scouts were looming on the left and right.

Yang Zheng had to be extremely careful. Every five miles he walked, he would let his soldiers rest for half an hour to maintain their strength in case of any eventuality.

The flag flapped in the wind.

Until he got close to Mingyue Gorge, Erhe Shaoge still didn't appear.

Yang Zheng felt a little anxious and uneasy.
