Little White Snake said: "Just last time, we were at Tianshen Mountain..."
Tianshen Mountain? It is so far away from here. If the little white snake can smell it, this person must have lived there for a long time.
Mingwei suddenly thought, and a terrible thought came to his mind.
She raised her head and looked at the surrounding mountains, her brows getting tighter and tighter.
Ning Xiu had already left, but when he saw something was wrong with her, he came back and said, "What, is there something wrong?"
Mingwei pointed to the surroundings: "Sir, please see, if the surrounding snow collapses at this time, the end of our team will be buried."
"Yeah, what's the problem?"
There were too many of them, and it was impossible to completely avoid them. Therefore, they chose a relatively safe route this way. If an avalanche happened again, they would be able to save the large group and quickly rescue and retreat.
Mingwei said: "It stands to reason that if we warn in advance, there won't be much of a problem, but if someone deliberately triggers the left and right at the same time, we will lose some people."
Ning Xiu heard what she meant and frowned: "You said, is there someone?"
Mingwei nodded slowly.
Ning Xiu didn't ask any more questions. He carefully observed the mountain top and said, "We'll send a warning immediately. It's still too late."
"Um."
Ning Xiu took out the fireworks and threw them up.
Yang Shu saw it over there and ordered: "Quick, tell General Zong to speed up and evacuate immediately."
Ah Xuan responded and left.
Zong Xuxin was not suspicious. As soon as he said this, he ordered the rear to speed up.
After running only two or three miles, they heard a noise from above, and then a continuous rumbling sound. Everyone looked up and saw snow and fog flying, and large tracts of snow fell down, burying the path they had just walked.
It was so complete that even the sky was blocked by the snow.
Zong Xu broke out in sweat.
If it had been slower, the next few hundred people would have been let in.
I couldn't help but secretly admire the abilities of those two people.
Where did this Yang San recruit the masters? Although his status is embarrassing now, he is surrounded by many capable people. It is said that people with good luck will attract capable people to invest. Could it be...
After thinking about it for a moment, Zong Xu quickly put the thought away and silently recited the Zong family's ancestral precepts in his heart.
The Zong family protects the country and is only loyal to the person on the throne, and must never get involved in the battle for the throne.
After a while, Mingwei and Ningxiu came down.
Together with Yang Shu, they came to Zong Xu.
"General Zong, the avalanche just now was caused by man." Mingwei got straight to the point.
Zong Xu was startled: "You mean, the person who led us out took action?"
Mingwei nodded: "It's as I expected. It has something to do with the Snow Wolf Department."
Zong Xu thought about it: "This is strange. How can they spare any time now? They just went through a bloody massacre internally, and now they are invading south. Are they too impatient?"
Yang Shu interrupted: "General Zong, from what I can see, their purpose is not to invade the south."
"What is that?"
Yang Shu said: "I have acquaintance with Su Tu. He is a very determined person who is cruel to others and even more cruel to himself. Now he has just unified the eight tribes, and he must have deliberately driven the remaining tribes to seize the city.
, so as to fill the way for him.”
Zong Xu thought along his train of thought and broke into a cold sweat: "This person is really cruel. He dares to take action in such a situation."
According to common sense, the eight tribes have just been unified, and it is time to be gentle and recuperate. After a few years, the blood feud will subside, and new warriors will grow up, and it will not be too late to plot again.
Unexpectedly, Su Tu had such a ferocious personality. Not only did he not restrain himself, he also deliberately took advantage of the opportunity of eliminating dissidents to drive the remaining troops who disobeyed him to the south and used them to attack the city gates.
You must know that those barbarians are desperate and will risk their lives in order to seize a place to survive.
In this way, not only will the remaining forces be weakened, but Qi will also suffer losses, and he will reap the benefits.
"If so, the sudden rebellion of the Xirong tribes is also related to him?" Zong Xu speculated.
Mingwei shook his head: "We don't know this, but we can be sure that someone from Su Tu is watching us."
Zong Xu said: "In this situation, we have no way out. We can only go to Gravel Pass. Only by recapturing Gravel Pass in one fell swoop can we plan for the future."
The avalanche just now cut off their retreat. It can be said that their current situation is not good. There is a gravel pass in front, and there is no way to retreat behind. The logistics have not kept up, and the marching rations they brought are limited.
There is no other way to take back Gravel Pass.
But Zong Xu is a famous general. Even if he is in such a situation, he still remains calm and makes the most appropriate decision.
The Qi army quickly finished resting and continued to set off.
Mingwei talked to Yang Shu privately: "I have an idea."
"What?"
"From the history I know, the Western Wei Dynasty should be established by the end of the year. Although it has not happened now, we can get a glimpse of Su Tu's thoughts from this matter. It seems that it is very likely that he did not give up and deliberately drove the remaining troops over to incite Xirong.
Rebellion consumes the strength of Qi's defenders. If General Zong is cheated in this matter, the Northwest Army will suffer great losses. When the time comes, he will take the opportunity to establish the Western Wei Dynasty, and Qi will not send troops, and he will be safe and sound.
Develop steadily.”
Yang Shu took a breath: "This is really a cruel person."
This year, too many people from the Hu tribe died. Under such circumstances, most people would choose to recuperate, so no one expected Su Tu to have such an idea.
Anyway, there are already corpses everywhere, so it is better to suppress the Qi army in one go and establish the Western Wei Dynasty.
Cruel, indeed cruel enough.
"So..." Yang Shu looked at Zong Xu's back.
He didn't say the second half of the sentence, but Mingwei had already understood it.
"Not only did he arrange the reaction of the remnants of the Hu people, but he was also able to incite the Xirong tribes. He even predicted the reaction of General Zong..."
Yang Shu nodded heavily.
In other words, Zongxu's visit on this trip was originally part of the strategy, and could even be said to be the highlight.
The influence of a famous general on the army is incalculable.
As long as Zong Xu is alive, with the shadow of his famous tree, the Northwest Army's military morale will surely be stable.
And if he dies, who can support the name of the Northwest Army?
Most of the men of the Zong family and his generation died in the battle, and the remaining few had mediocre qualifications and were unable to shoulder the responsibility of commander. Zong Rui was still young and had not grown up.
In this case, we can only let others be the commander-in-chief.
But the Zuo Army is known as the Zong Family Army, so does the Zong Family’s influence in the army needless to say? By then, the combat effectiveness will definitely decline.
"I'm afraid if we go to the gravel slope, it will be a more difficult challenge." Yang Shu murmured.
Mingwei raised his head and observed the surrounding mountains.
"They want to plot against us, should we just wait like this? A mantis stalks a cicada, who knows there is no oriole behind?"
"You want to fight back?"
Mingwei nodded: "Since they caused the snow, they must have left traces, and their whereabouts must be found." (To be continued)
