Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 345 A Cool Valley

On this scorching summer day, the two generals Yang Ling and Jin Wei, who commanded more than 1 soldiers from Changsha and Wuling counties, did not drive horses in the army.

The two men asked their soldiers to chop down some branches with wide leaves and held them above their heads to help block the sun. Then they led the soldiers from Changsha and Wuling to walk slowly on the mountain road of Lianyun Mountain. .

In the hot summer temperature, the armor on both of them was also wide open, and they only wore thin clothes inside, but they were still drenched in sweat during the march, so they asked them from time to time. People go to the Liuyang River to fetch water from the river, and wash themselves over to cool themselves down for a while.

This Yang Ling is now about 35 or [-] years old, and he looks like a strong figure. He was a lieutenant in the Dian Army in Changsha County. He was originally a general under Han Xuan who was in charge of training soldiers. He also has good martial arts skills, so Only then can he be rated as one of the five brave generals in Jingnan.

This is Yang Ling's first time leading troops into battle, and for Yang Ling, this is his opportunity to make meritorious service.

It's just that this scorching summer made him a little restless, as if an inexplicable feeling made him feel uneasy, but he thought it was because he was a little nervous, after all, he was going to attack Zhu Wei's rear army Dazhai this time, and The main force of Zhu Wei's army is still attacking Liu Pan in You County. In theory, his sneak attack plan is perfect, so there shouldn't be any problems.

On the other side, Jin Wei also seemed to be a strong man in his early thirties, with a height of more than 1.9 meters. He was tall and majestic, but in his facial features, there was a bit of the alien characteristics of the Huns.

Jin Wei is also a brave general who relies on his extraordinary martial arts skills, but in the original history when Liu Bei conquered the four counties in southern Jing, Wuling County only mentioned the prefect Jin Xuan and engaged in Gongzhi, so Jin Wei was not rated as the so-called Among the five great generals in Jingnan.

But now Jin Wei, on behalf of the prefect of Wuling Jinxuan, led the troops to Changsha County to help, which can be regarded as letting his name be known, but after all, he is only a captain of the Wuling County, so after arriving in Changsha City Had to obey Han Xuan's arrangement.

After Han Xuan made an agreement with Liu Xian, the leader of the coalition forces in Guiyang County and Lingling County, Han Xuan naturally let Yang Ling, his direct subordinate, take the position of chief general, and let Jin Wei lead the Wuling soldiers to serve as deputy general.

But Jin Wei felt that the Wuling soldiers he brought were 2000 more than the Changsha soldiers brought by Yang Ling. In terms of military strength, he should have been the main general, so now he is still a little unconvinced.

The most important thing is that if this sneak attack is successful, the great credit will fall on Yang Ling's head. Isn't this using the lives of soldiers in Wuling County to give the people of Changsha County the credit for nothing?

Therefore, some private entanglements between Jin Wei and Yang Ling were unavoidable. Although Jin Wei succumbed to the title of lieutenant general, the [-] Wuling soldiers he brought were definitely not under the command of Yang Ling, the main general.

But at this moment, Jin Wei didn't have so much to think about. Facing the increasingly hot weather, he just wanted to soak his whole body in the river to cool himself off.

This damn weather, why do you have to use troops in such hot weather.

At this time, a scout from the front suddenly ran back and came to Yang Ling and Jin Wei to report, saying that Wei Yan, who was acting as the vanguard at the forefront of the army, had found a cool valley where he could let the The army serves as a place to rest and escape from the hot summer weather.

Yang Ling and Jin Wei were a little happy when they heard the words, so they sent orders to their respective tribes, and the whole army quickened their pace, and they could rest and eat when they reached the cool valley ahead.

Because of the hot summer, Yang Ling and Jin Wei also discussed that the army should avoid the hottest noon and afternoon when they were on their way, and they mainly marched at night while taking advantage of the coolness of the sky, so as to conceal the fact that the army was marching. trace.

So at this moment, this coalition army composed of soldiers from Changsha and Wuling counties has actually gone all night, and the soldiers are indeed a little exhausted.

Hearing such a military order, the soldiers, whether they were in Changsha or Wuling, couldn't help but get excited, and hurried forward one after another. After walking like this for another half an hour, they found a quiet valley in front of them.

According to the news sent back by Wei Yan, who served as the forward at the forefront of the army, there is enough space in this valley to allow more than 1 troops to go in to escape the summer heat.

But as Yang Ling and Jin Wei came to this valley, looking at the state of the valley, they couldn't help but feel that this valley was a bit weird.

This valley seems to be an ordinary valley in the mountains, but there is no other way out of this valley except for about two or three people entering the wide valley mouth.

The valley is indeed very empty, there are almost no vegetation, and the ground is mostly rocks and pebbles. Perhaps when the mountains and rivers are lush, this is also the place where the mountain streams flow and converge.

It's just that the hot weather has caused a shortage of mountains and waters, so there are only a few small streams flowing with shallow water on the ground of this valley.

The mountain walls around the valley are steep, and most of the rock walls are exposed rocks. The highest point of the mountain wall is seven or eight meters, and it is not easy to climb. If you are blocked in the valley, there is nowhere to escape.

So Yang Ling and Jin Wei looked at the shape of the valley, and then looked at the surrounding environment of the valley, always feeling a little uneasy in their hearts, as if there was something strange about the valley, which made them a little worried, but for a while they Can't think of anything to worry about either.

Speaking of which, there are dense forests on the cliffs around the valley, and the stretched canopy of these trees just shields the valley from the scorching summer sun.

In addition, there are streams in the valley that can be used. Moisturized by the stream and gently caressed by the mountain breeze, this valley is indeed a relatively cool place to escape the summer heat. If it is a place for temporary garrison to rest, it is also possible. of.

But with such a valley terrain, I still feel a little uneasy.

Perhaps seeing Yang Ling and Jin Wei's suspicion, Wei Yan's figure suddenly appeared on a cliff above the valley. He seemed to be inspecting the situation in the forests around the valley.

At this time, Wei Yan saw the hesitation of Yang Ling and Jin Wei, so he couldn't help shouting to them from afar, "Lieutenant Yang, Captain Jin, a certain family has already explored the surrounding area, and this valley can be used to escape the summer heat. It is relatively safe and secretive, and is not afraid of exposing the traces of the army. A certain family also explored in the mountains and forests above this valley, but there is no problem. The army marched all night, so the two generals should hurry up and lead their troops into the valley to rest! "

It turned out that this time Wei Yan followed Yang Ling and Jin Wei to attack Zhu Wei's so-called rear army camp in Liling County, but he was used as a labor force, acting as a forward along the way, responsible for scouting the way for the army in front.

So on a hot summer day like this, Yang Ling and Jin Wei can slowly march in the army, but Wei Yan has to lead his soldiers to climb the mountain to explore the road ahead, to find a place to camp and secure the camp for the follow-up army. Therefore, it is more tiring than Yang Ling and Jin Wei to be on guard against possible enemy scouts.

However, Wei Yan had other purposes in mind, so he didn't have any complaints. He did his best along the way, and gave Yang Ling and Jin Wei a good impression...
