"what?"

Guo Jia's expression changed when he heard this, and he exclaimed, "Outside the valley entrance to the south is the official road leading to Hangu Pass, how did these people get ahead of me?"

Li Lijian frowned, narrowed his eyes slightly and looked towards the south of the canyon, which was the direction of the exit of Feiyundu.

The whole mountain stream meanders and extends about [-] miles in length, but the detour is more than [-] miles. Therefore, Li Li chose this shortcut for this trip and took a shortcut to Hangu Pass.

If he didn't stop for a while after crossing the river, Li Li and his party of more than [-] people had already walked out of the mountain stream and were on their way to Hangu Pass.Then the suspicious unknown people appearing in the south mountain stream at this moment, not only will not reveal their whereabouts, but will appear behind Li Li and his party, and then follow them to Hangu Pass.

Unexpectedly, God's will is unpredictable.

Teng Xiao and his 2 soldiers did not board the boat to cross the river with Li Li and others, but insisted on staying in the back of the palace on the north bank, delaying for half an hour, delaying for an hour each time, and then arriving late.As a result, Li Li led more than [-] soldiers and horses to stay at the north entrance of Feiyundu. From evening to dark, he never entered the mountain stream, but sent scouts to explore the way first.Unexpectedly, the scouts actually discovered by accident that an unidentified army suddenly appeared in front of Li Li and his party, and it happened that the two sides blocked the two ends of Feiyundu Mountain Stream one from the south and the other from the north.

This is really a strange thing that happens every year, especially this year.

The south bank of the Yellow River is under the jurisdiction of Li Lizhi, at least until now, it has not fallen into the hands of the princes and allies.All the soldiers and horses in the territory, whether they were county soldiers or the main battalion, were all soldiers under Li Li's command.As the commander-in-chief of the army, any movement of soldiers and horses must be approved by him before they can be dispatched, but the one to the south of the mountain stream in front of him is extremely strange, suddenly appearing next to the official road fifty miles outside Hangu Pass.Moreover, he came here at night, not only did not take the official road, but lurked in the mountain stream to the north of the official road.

Li Li was very sure that this army was definitely not ordered to come to meet him, because he had never given a response order before.

In this case, where did this troop come from, and what did it intend to do?

Thinking of this, Li Li suddenly thought that one of his generals might be plotting something wrong. After learning of his whereabouts, he led his trilogy to set up an ambush at the mouth of the valley south of Feiyundu in advance.Want to put yourself to death.However, he secretly sorted out all the main generals stationed at Hangu Pass in his heart, and found that there were not many generals who had the real power to mobilize the army to leave the pass, and they were all trusted generals. Not eligible to transfer troops out of customs.Because the gatekeeper of Hangu Pass will be Gao Shun.Except for a limited number of people such as Huan Fei, Xu Rong, Jia Xu, Li Xuan, and Jin Gu, who had the right to temporarily mobilize troops and horses, others had no right to mobilize a single soldier without authorization.Even if these people resist unauthorized deployment of troops.Gao Shun will not switch to release.

That being the case, where did the soldiers and horses at the southern end of the mountain stream come from?

There is nothing more strange than this.

After pondering for a while, Li Li waved his hand to signal the scouts to come forward, and said in a deep voice: "You just said that this group of soldiers and horses did not show their banners and acted sneakily. It is very suspicious. Then have you seen clearly how many troops they have, and what clothes they are wearing? What kind of armor, is it possible that our army came to meet the soldiers and horses before leaving the customs?"

"Ugh!" The scouts were shocked when they heard the sound, and said anxiously: "My lord, forgive me. When the general led fifty scouts to explore the way, he found that the other party also issued scout warnings, and there were quite a few of them, more than a thousand. Scouts, so we were afraid of revealing our whereabouts, so we didn't dare to come closer to investigate. However, there are many soldiers and horses on the other side, scattered one by one, completely occupying the four-mile mountain stream, and the valley mouth at the south end is relatively open. Fifty thousand soldiers and horses. Also, the battle armor they wore was not the dark blue half-body armor in our army, but gray-black armor. Therefore, the last general can be sure that these people are not soldiers and horses of our army, they are probably the alliance of princes A soldier under the command of a prince in the army."

"Oh?" Li Li pondered for a while, only then did he notice that the scout in front of him was not an ordinary soldier, but a captain, and he looked very familiar. He should be a captain-level general in the Jinyi Guard Battalion.

"Are you sure that these [-] to [-] soldiers are not our soldiers, but the enemy?" Li Li asked in a deep voice.

"This..." After a little hesitation, the scout captain nodded and said in affirmation: "Although the general is still not sure where this group of people came from, he can be sure that these people are not my Xiliang soldiers, they must be the enemy."

"En." Li Li nodded slightly, then beckoned Li Zhi and Chen Dao to come forward, and ordered in a low voice: "Zicheng immediately led two hundred soldiers to climb up the cliff to the west, touch from the top of the mountain, and scout out the enemy. The number of soldiers and their identities. If it is true that the enemy is lurking here, and there are many people, Zicheng can send his own soldiers back to report the news, and you have to rush to Hangu Pass immediately and order Shuofeng Battalion to come and intercept them. This enemy force must block Taniguchi, and mobilize Huan Fei's flying bear heavy armored cavalry to come to reinforce it. Remember, at most one hour, I will lead [-] infantry to attack, so you must arrive within one hour Hangu Pass, and then mobilize the army to help me. Tonight, I will let this group of arrogant people come and go, and they will all be buried here!"

"This,,, promise, the last general takes orders!" Li Zhi was stunned when he heard this, and wanted to stay by Li Li's side to protect the lord's safety, but he also knew that he was the only one who was the fastest and was good at climbing cliffs, so he had to respectfully accept orders.

"Zicheng don't have to worry." Li Li nodded and said with a light smile, "Feiyundu's terrain is unique. No matter how many soldiers and horses there are, it's useless. It can't be used at all. Therefore, our army's [-] soldiers and horses are too many. What I am most concerned about now is Yes, whether you can block this enemy army in the mountain stream and wipe it out in one fell swoop depends on the speed of your troop deployment!

If within an hour and a half, you can lead the Shuofeng Battalion to block the valley entrance in time, and wait for the Feixiong soldiers to arrive, then Feiyundu will be the burial place of the enemy army, making it impossible for them to escape.If you can't arrive in time, the enemy will definitely flee if they see something wrong.In this way, even if we send troops to chase and kill them later, it may be difficult to catch them all.It's a pity that the few flying eagles that were kept around as spares were all released, otherwise they would be able to attack back and forth tonight, leaving the bandit army with no way to go to the sky and nowhere to go, and they will definitely be wiped out! "

"My lord, take care, the last general will leave immediately!" After listening to Li Li's explanation of his interests, Li Zhi waved away two hundred soldiers without hesitation.Look for gentler cliffs and climb up the mountain.

Watching Li Zhi leave, Li Li gave an order to Chen Dao: "Uncle Zhi, you immediately lead a [-] scout brigade to the front to keep an eye on the enemy for me, pay attention to whereabouts, and don't be spotted by them. In addition, you try to catch one or two Live, find out where this stealthy bandit army came from, and who is the leading general. Remember, we must pay attention to concealment, and we must not expose our army's whereabouts!"

"Promise. The last general takes orders!" Chen Daogong replied, and then he took three hundred scouts and the scout captain and went straight to the southern end of the mountain stream.

After Chen Dao and the others left, Li Li turned his head to look at the generals beside him, and suddenly found that all of them were happy and eager to fight.ready to move.

Seeing this, Li Li laughed dumbly and said: "It seems that you are preparing to kill! But the situation is unclear now. It's too early to say. The arrangement I just made is just to prepare in advance, so that you are ready for any danger. Therefore, you It's too early to be happy, if this sudden army came to meet our soldiers, or if this group of people came suddenly and then left in a hurry, then our joy will be in vain. Hehehe!"

The generals were stunned when they heard the words, and Ma Chao said anxiously: "No way! The scouts have just said that there are 5 to [-] soldiers at the southern end of the mountain stream. If it is the soldiers of our army, who would dare to mobilize so many soldiers without the Lord's order? , Is he tired of living. Want to rebel?"

After a short pause, Ma Chao continued: "Thus, after the lord's arrangement just now, it is obvious that the soldiers and horses in front of us are not soldiers of our army, but thieves and thieves who plan to do something wrong. Since they are thieves, they are I'm waiting for a good opportunity to show shame. It's a bit useless to evacuate Hedong this time, and everyone is holding their breath. I can't believe that when I just crossed the river, the enemy army came to the door by itself. This kind of killing the enemy to vent their anger How can I miss this great opportunity? Hehehe!"

After speaking, Ma Chao, Teng Xiao, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Xu Chu, Tie Xiao, Guo Meng and more than 30 generals at the rank of lieutenant or above laughed heartily at the same time.

"Shut up, everyone, don't disturb the enemy, or they will be scared away!" Guo Jia coughed lightly and reminded with a smile on his face.

"Uh! Yes, the military adviser is right, everyone keep your voices down, otherwise there will be no battle tonight!" Teng Xiao echoed the words.

After all the generals were silent, Li Li jumped off the back of the King of Beasts, went straight to sit on a rock dozens of steps away, and beckoned Teng Xiao to come over.

"Everything is well arranged, no flaws have been revealed, right?" Li Li asked in a low voice after Teng Xiao approached.

Teng Xiao nodded happily, and said softly: "Don't worry, my lord, everything has been arranged properly. Since my lord returned from Jizhou last time, the last general and General Xu Rong have started to prepare. I will be in charge of Hedong, and Xu Rong will be in charge of the counties and counties in Henan." The general is in charge. When the army of the princes invaded and occupied Sili, we will uproot and clean up these aristocratic families. We will leave [-] dead soldiers in Hedong, and [-] of them will be my own soldiers. The guards, the other [-] dead soldiers are also my carefully selected warriors. Although I dare not say that one is against a hundred, one is enough to defeat ten. The Hedong Guards have been eliminated by the last general this time, and the remaining powerful families are mainly concentrated in Hanoi County, now that our army has withdrawn from Hedong, they can immediately start to clean up the plan. After completing the task, all the gold, silver, money and food will be hidden nearby, and they will also be lurking, and they will be recruited into the army after our army regains the lost land in Hedong In this way, there will be no leaks without anyone noticing. The same is true for the counties in Henan. General Xu Rong has selected more than [-] dead soldiers to carry out the cleaning mission. Once the Allied forces cross the river and reach the south bank, they will immediately start implementing the plan , nothing will go wrong!"

"Well, very good." Li Li nodded lightly, and said in a low voice: "Originally, I wanted to leave room for things, and hoped that they would truly submit to me, but this incident with the Hedong Wei family proves that these people have prejudice against me. It's too deep, and the interests are opposite, and it is impossible to reconcile. If this is the case, don't blame Li for being cruel. But this matter can be done but cannot be said. As our territory grows, we need a large number of scribes to govern the county. If the matter is publicized, it is hard to guarantee that some people will not have two ambitions and hide evil intentions."

"The general understands, and must handle this matter properly." Teng Xiao nodded understandingly.

"Well." Li Li nodded slightly, looked up at the starry sky, and pondered: "The world is unpredictable. Who would have thought that we would bump into the enemy army on the way home, and we were also in the same mountain stream. I faintly feel that the enemy army The army is not simple. Among the allied armies of the princes, there are not many princes who dare to take risks alone, and there are only a handful of princes who are really at odds with our army and have a great enmity with Li Li. Therefore, we will meet in Feiyundu tonight , it is definitely a narrow road for enemies, and enemies meet!"

"The enemy's road is narrow?" Teng Xiao was astonished when he heard the words, and then his expression was shocked, and he said in shock: "Could it be that the lord is saying that the enemy army who went deep alone this time is the one who burned down our army's granary..."

Li Li waved his hand and interjected, "It's just a guess right now. It's too early to tell. When Chen Dao comes back from the investigation, everything will be clear! What we can do now is to recharge our batteries and wait patiently."

Chapter 650

Thanks: book friends winter snow monthly ticket support, book friends 110123000130437 monthly ticket, evaluation ticket support, thank you!

The wind was blowing, and the night was as cold as ice.

In the howling north wind, exhale into frost, and the intermittent stream condenses into ice silently, completely blocking the stream and isolating all sounds.

The night is deep, flying through the clouds, everything is dead and silent, crows and sparrows are hard to find, cold and quiet.

Only the whistling north wind whizzed by tirelessly, one after another, like ghosts crying and wolves howling, making people's hairs stand on end, horrifying and disturbing.

In the mountain stream to the north of Feiyundu, more than [-] people and horses stood quietly in the cold wind, savoring the cold night in the mountain stream before the arrival of midwinter.

"Da da da!"

A clear and loud sound of horseshoes broke the silence, coming from the south of the mountain stream, and soon rushed to Li Li, who was at the front of the team.

"Wow!" While reining in his horse, Chen Daofei landed on the ground, and said anxiously: "My lord, the last general fulfilled his mission and found out the identity of the enemy!"

Just as Chen Dao was breathing slowly, Li Li's expression trembled slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Where does this enemy army come from, report it quickly!"

"Reporting to my lord, what the scout captain said before is correct. This enemy army is indeed a force from the allied forces of the princes. The number is not [-], but [-]!" Chen Dao breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly .

"Sixty thousand?" Li Lijian frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice, "There are quite a few of them. It seems that they are some princes among Yuan Shao, Lu Bu, Zhang Yan and Cao Cao?"

"Exactly." Chen Dao continued, "My lord's words are very true. The enemy army that appears in front of our army at this moment is exactly Cao Cao's army that attacked our army earlier and succeeded in attacking our army. The leader is Cao Cao himself!"

"What? Cao Cao led the army here in person?" Li Li's expression changed when he heard that, and he exclaimed in surprise.

"Ah! Cao Cao?" Before Li Li finished speaking, the generals Guo Jia, Teng Xiao, Ma Chao, Zhang Liao and other generals following behind him cried out in surprise, their expressions shocked.They showed expressions of disbelief.

Immediately, Teng Xiao was pleasantly surprised: "It's just in time! Is it true that friends don't get together, come and do whatever they want, the road for friends is narrow!"

Indeed, after the outbreak of the Sili War, Li Li often mentioned Cao Cao in front of the generals, claiming that Cao Cao was the most difficult prince to deal with in the army of princes, calling him cunning like a fox, fierce like a wolf, and resourceful.It must be guarded against.Coupled with the burning of the Anyi granary more than ten days ago, it further confirmed what Li Li said, Cao Cao is really not a kind person, if he doesn't make a move, he will be fine. Once he makes a move, he is indeed accurate and ruthless.Hit directly at the lifeblood of Anyi's army.

Therefore, all the generals under Li Li's command are definitely no strangers to Cao Cao.The resentment is difficult to appease, but also very jealous.I am afraid that one day I will be tricked by Cao Cao inadvertently.
