The first thousand two hundred and twenty-five chapters
During the spring night, Shan Xiongxin did not forget the business. Early the next morning, he led a thousand veterans of the reconnaissance team and more than 4,000 county soldiers from five counties to continue chasing the remnants of the enemy led by Dou Jiande, and ordered the remaining three counties to
County soldiers escorted nearly 10,000 captives, women, children, and children back to Fanyang County.
But after Sun Tieya woke up, she said that Dou Jiande had killed his whole family, and she wanted to take revenge. She also showed off her powerful martial arts, which surprised Shan Xiongxin slightly, and made him feel cherished and wanted to hug him all the time.
The weak woman who protects turns out to be a master.
Under normal circumstances, Shan Xiongxin would not agree, nor should he agree. However, after a night of love, this woman's status in Shan Xiong's confidence has been greatly different.
After leaving Gaojibo, Shan Xiongxin ordered the army to speed up and march fifty miles in one breath. He received a message from the spies in front, saying that Dou Jiande and his group of thieves were resting in a dilapidated mountain stronghold not far from here. Shan Xiongxin also ordered the army to stop.
After resting and recovering his physical strength, he went directly to kill the enemy. He was too lazy to use any more tactics. The county soldiers who were trained using Shedao's military training method had yesterday's actual combat experience. He was confident that he could fight with five thousand people.
The bandit soldiers numbering less than 10,000 were easily defeated head-on.
"Shan Lang, that Dou Jiande is as cunning as a fox and full of tricks. It's impossible not to know that Shan Lang led his men to catch up, but he didn't run away. He must have something to rely on, and Shan Lang had to be on guard." A figure next to Shan Xiongxin
The tall, but somewhat thin guard suddenly said, but the voice sounded like a woman, who else could it be if she wasn't Sun Tieya. However, this woman's voice was cold at this time, her expression was firm, and her face was indifferent. How could she be as good as the one she had with her last night?
Shan Xiongxin showed no hint of coquettishness and weakness when playing on the bed.
Sun Tieya's expression at this time was completely different from that of the night, but in Shan Xiongxin's eyes, he was even more fascinated. He took a greedy look at Sun Tieya's little face, considering that there were many relatives beside him.
The indignant look of the soldiers, especially the reconnaissance team leader Liu Fangyi, made him a little embarrassed. He quickly turned his head, pointed the riding whip in the direction of Dou Jiande, and said, "What Yaya said is true. The spies just came to report that there is a high cliff in front of us."
The mountain road, and the reconnaissance team found traces of enemy troops from the high cliffs on both sides. If I am not mistaken, Dou Jiande wants to take advantage of the terrain of the mountain road to destroy our entire army with the rolling stones on both sides of the mountain road. Naturally, I will not be fooled.

…
At the same time, ten miles away from Shan Xiongxin and his party, a group of poorly dressed but murderous thieves were undergoing a rapid march. The leader was riding a tall horse, holding two huge axes in both hands, and his figure was like an iron tower.
The most important thing is that this person's complexion is purple and black, which is different from ordinary people, and his eyes are extremely vicious. Ordinary people will be frightened if they stare at him.
"The bastard Dou Jiande insisted on us walking on the mountain road and refused to let us come here in advance. He came here in a hurry when things got close. If he doesn't give us enough money and women this time, I will never be done with him." Hurry.
The rebels who came here were not a group of pure rebels, but a group of green forest bandits. It was after Yuchi Jingde led his men in the Taihang Mountains to defect to Wang Junlin that the overlord of the Taihang Mountains, Zi Mian, emerged in the past year or so.
Over the past year, as a large number of refugees have joined him, his power has grown rapidly, from more than a hundred people in the end to more than 10,000 people now.
Yesterday evening, Xiong Kuohai received an urgent message from Dou Jiande, who had been friends with him for several years and had an appointment with him before, so he hurried over with his five thousand elite men.
Just marching all the way in a hurry made these five thousand bandits feel miserable. For the county soldiers trained by Fanyang County using the Snake Island training method, because they usually pay attention to physical fitness and endurance, and even will training, coupled with strict training,
A night of urgent marching is nothing, but for the lack of training bandits, the cold mountain wind and the rugged road can be life-threatening. But in order to cover up their tracks, they cannot get too close to the official road. Instead, they are undulating.
Marching quickly on uneven mountain roads and country roads is many times more difficult than marching on straight and wide official roads.
"This is a bitch of a weather. If we keep going like this, we won't have to fight with the officers and soldiers, and we will exhaust ourselves to death!" Xiong Kuohai complained and ordered a rest. The bandits cheered, but nothing happened.
There is no discipline at all, either lying down or sitting down to rest, drink water and eat solid food.
At this moment, several fast horses approached the team and waved a green flag in their hands from a distance. This was one of the ways Dou Jiande and Xiong Kuohai agreed to connect.
Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, the visitor walked through the queue and headed straight to the front of the majestic sea.
"Master Xiong, our master asked the younger one to come and tell the master that the officers and soldiers were cunning and did not enter the death mountain road prepared by our master. The master said that he would implement a backup plan and that he would lead the officers and soldiers to the Zhangshui River, which is less than three miles away from here.
On the edge of the Yellowstone Beach, when the time comes, the master can lead his people to annihilate the bandits together with our people." The men sent by Dou Jiande bowed and reported to the vast sea.
"How many officers and soldiers came to make Dou Jiande so cautious?" Xiong Kuohai asked casually.
The person who reported the news quickly said: "More than 5,000 officers and soldiers came, but..."
But before he could finish speaking, Xiong Kuohai said loudly: "There are only more than five thousand people. They are not imperial soldiers, but county soldiers and county soldiers. What are you afraid of? We, these five thousand people, can defeat them."
Killed like shit."
The person who reported the news gave a bitter smile and quickly added: "Master Xiongda, those five thousand people are not the county soldiers and county soldiers of Qinghe County, but the troops of Fanyang County."
"What is Fanyang County and not Fanyang County? If the soldiers are from the government, we will still have scruples, as long as it is a place..." Xiong Kuohai, who was waving his ax suddenly stopped, remembered something, and said solemnly: "You said Fanyang County,
Could it be the men and horses of the poisonous general King Qin An?"
The person who reported the news said: "Who can say otherwise! Otherwise, our masters would not be so cautious."

…
A goshawk landed on the shoulder of a military intelligence chief who had been following Shan Xiongxin. The latter took out the note from the small copper tube on Cangyi's leg, glanced at it, his pupils shrank, and handed it to
Shan Xiongxin.
After Shan Xiongxin read the note, his expression gradually became serious, and then he raised his head and looked at the surrounding terrain. His face changed, but he didn't have much fear, and he shouted: "Send the order to be alert, and prepare for battle."
"General." Liu Fangyi's eyes widened in shock. He didn't know what the general had just seen. There was nothing nearby. His spies had just sent information that the thief was still three or four miles away from here!
