After Song Jiang and Chao Li joined forces, they worked hard to conquer the hard nut of Longshou Pass.
Longshou Pass is adjacent to Yunong Peak of Cangshan Mountain to the west and Erhai Lake to the east. It is already the center of Wuman, with a huge military force and a dangerous terrain, and there are no shortcuts or trails to bypass it.
Song Jiang stroked his beard and said: "Deng Ai sneaked into Yinping, and his victory was due to a strange word. Now our troops have bypassed Cangshan Mountain. As long as we capture Longshou Pass and occupy this important place that locks the mountains and controls the sea,
The capital of Dali, Yangjumea City, is what is in the bag."
Wang Chaoli fought all the way, relying on the map in his hand to gain overwhelming power, but it was rare that he did not swell.
He nodded, breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Cangshan has gathered all the best soldiers and generals in Dali, which cannot be underestimated. Gao Taiming has not taken any action for a long time. He probably wants to choose an opportunity to fight decisively with us. If we don't win well, all the previous efforts will be wasted."
.”
Looking up at Longshou Pass, Song Jiang was convinced. As the northern barrier of Dali, this place connects the two natural chasms of Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake. It is a true mountain-locking and sea-controlling area, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Longshouguan City covers an area of about 3,000 acres and is surrounded by five walls and five gates, each with various military facilities.
It is clearly written on the map of Tibetan troops that if we attack this place by force, we will most likely lose our troops and generals and the effort will be in vain.
Song Jiang and Chao Li returned to the big tent, took out the map of hidden soldiers, and looked at it while thinking of other ways out.
After all, he brought hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and if he returned to the court with a tragic victory, he would not be able to live up to the complete preparations that Shaozai had made for himself.
We even brought maps of Dali's mountains, rivers, terrain, and hidden troops, but if we couldn't win a hearty victory, how could we return to court and resume our lives?
Suddenly, Song Jiangfu came to his mind and said: "It's so sad that we can't go around here and go around in a circle until we reach Cangshan Mountain."
Yangjume City is right behind the pass, and the enemy capital is so close that no one would think of trekking half way around Dali.
But the eyes of all the generals in the tent lit up. They had a map. If it was in the Erhai Cangshan area, this map would have lost its meaning.
But in other parts of Dali, there is no time or power to change. In this case, the whole of Dali will be turned upside down. Anyway, there are plenty of supplies along the way.
Two generals who were leading troops for the first time and wanted to destroy a country came together to discuss this method, but no experienced general would agree.
Because it is too dangerous to operate alone in an enemy country. The last person who succeeded in doing this was probably the champion Hou Huo Qubing.
In this way, after calculating the time, there is no need to wait at the pass. When they go around, the Qi soldiers who are almost walking on the cliff can come out of the mountain.
In the summer of the second year of Daguan, Song Jiang, the commander-in-chief of the Dingnan Army of the Song Dynasty, set a fire under Longshou Pass. The smoke dissipated in three days, and hundreds of thousands of Song troops had disappeared.
Taipingzhou, Sanqing Temple.
A giant cypress with lush branches and leaves stood on the top of the mountain like a giant umbrella. There was a chessboard under the tree, and Yang Lin and an old Taoist priest were playing chess.
Yang Lin held up the chess pieces and didn't know how to move. The old Taoist priest was sure of victory and said with a smile: "Uncle Master, you have been thinking about it for half a quarter of an hour. If you are not sure about the chess, it is better to surrender early. It's still early to play another game and maybe you can win back the victory.
"
Yang Lin glared at him and said, "I shouldn't have walked like that just now. I was careless."
In the square outside the tree, several members of the Long Live Camp hurriedly walked over, clasping their fists and saying, "Young Zai, I've lost track of you."
Yang Lin flipped the chessboard over with a swipe, and said angrily: "You can even lose me. You can't catch up to a woman with a child, so what's the use of you?"
At the same time, in the ancient city of Dangtu County, in front of a dilapidated mountain temple.
Dozens of children were lying on the ground. Yang Tianning's face was rosy. He pressed his pet dog under him and whispered: "They are inside. This time is extraordinary. They are the biological sons of the adoptive father. Pay attention to them."
Be careful, don't ruin a good thing."
The few children around him looked decent, no different from the ordinary Banzai camp fans, and said: "Boss, don't worry, our net has been set up, and we will deliberately scare the snakes and let them fall into the trap.
"
"This ten-square snare can even catch big insects, but not a few people."
Yang Tianning nodded, and patted the dog under him. The others followed suit, and suddenly a group of dogs barked.
A group of children were drinking and shouting, but there was no movement in the mountain temple. After a while, a large net was hung on a tree in the distance, and Fang Qifu was struggling and shouting.
Yang Tianning clapped his hands and said: "It's here! Let's go and pick up my brother."
After walking over, they realized that only one man had been caught. When Yang Tianning stepped forward and took a look, the two of them were stunned.
"It's you"
Fang Qifu smiled and said: "My dear benefactor, if you save my life, I will not be unjust if I die in your hands."
Yang Tianning felt good about him. At first, this man regarded him as a refugee and took great care of him.
His childhood experiences made the Yang family brothers very grateful to those who treated them well. He twisted his face and said, "Brother Fang, don't worry, I will definitely intercede for you in front of my adoptive father."
"Father? So, the young man at the restaurant that day"
"Yes, that is our adoptive father."
Fang Qifu smiled freely: "For the kindness of one meal, I will give you a bright future for all your benefactors."
He didn't know that Yang Lin's future did not require such a small amount of credit.
Yang Tianning ordered someone to tie him up and release him, and then asked nervously: "Where is my brother?"
Fang Le was indeed Yang Lin's father. The saint was really insulted by Yang Lin in the military camp that day.
Fang Qifu smiled and said, "Mother and son have run away a long time ago. He doesn't trust me very much either."
Fang Miaolian had already noticed that someone was following her. Her whereabouts were not secret, and she was tracked down many times. She was so suspicious that she couldn't help but doubt Fang Qifu beside her.
So when he was extremely tired and fell asleep in the mountain temple, Fang Miaolian took the child and ran away alone.
Yang Tianning was dejected, his efforts had failed, and he could only take Fang Qifu back to recover in anger——
In Sanqing Temple, Yang Lin was furious. He had missed his own flesh and blood several times, which made him increasingly worried.
At this time, at the foot of the mountain, a very embarrassed woman walked slowly with a baby in her arms.
Everyone along the way couldn't help but stop and watch. This woman is really a gift from God to men.
She was dressed in coarse linen clothes, which could not hide her straight and graceful figure, and her delicate and charming face, even if it was speckled with mud, it could not hide her natural beauty.
Lu Wang, who was guarding at the foot of the mountain, stared, drew his sword in his hand, and squinted his eyes as if facing a formidable enemy.
"Fang Miao Lian"
"Do you recognize me too? Oh, you are from Yang Tong, right? Go and tell Yang Lin that there is nothing you can do about the child being sick and let him save it!"
Although she was surrounded by enemies, she said this with confidence.
