This winter in Fenglin Mountain is longer than usual, and it is still snowing after the beginning of spring.

On the border of Qi State, Qi Xiao and the others encountered another heavy snowstorm. They couldn't move an inch for several days in a row. The food was almost exhausted, and everyone became ants on the hot pot. The snow didn't stop them. There will be no food, and more importantly, after the beginning of spring, the three border gates of Qi will slowly start to change defenses, and the official road will open again, and they will miss the best time to attack.

Qi Xiao and Tang Ling could still hold their breath, Bai Xiqiao had been fidgeting for several days, he was dazzled by Lu Xiulin's eyes, and Lu Xiulin held his neck and pressed him to sit down.

Bai Xiqiao was very irritable, and his butt was as uncomfortable as hemorrhoids. He couldn't sit still, and raised his eyes to stare at Qi Xiao: "The wind and snow outside are much less, what are you waiting for? It will snow again in a while, and we will go again." It's gone."

And it's already the end of the day, if you don't go, it will be dark, and it will be even more impossible to go when it gets dark.

They have been here for five days!

Qi Xiao glanced at Tang Ling, then returned to the sheepskin map, and said, "Wait a little longer."

Qi Xiao has to wait for Xun Ying to come back.

Qi Xiao's "scouts" had already left Fenglin Mountain and entered the Qi Realm first. They had originally planned to use the Swift Eagle to deliver the message. Once they confirmed the situation at Jialin Pass, they could rush out of Fenglin Mountain.

But a heavy snow blocked everything, Qi Xiao released Xun Ying five days ago when the snow was a little lighter, and he hasn't come back yet.

Bai Xiqiao frowned and couldn't help grinding his teeth: "I said Chi Yue is unreliable."

Qi Xiao rolled his eyes: "Is Zong Sheng unreliable?"

There were only two scouts sent out by Qi Xiao, Chi Yue and Zong Sheng, for nothing else, they were the best in martial arts.

Of course, Baixiqiao was not convinced, he was not as good as Chi Yue in his lightness kung fu, and he admitted that he was not as good as his martial arts?He doesn't believe it.

And Zong Sheng, the two of them occasionally spar and always draw.

Besides, Zong Sheng has an injury on his back. Even if the scab has formed, it is still not healed. It is not as good as Bai Xiqiao, who is disease-free and pain-free, but Qi Xiao completely ignored him and let Chi Yue and Zong Sheng went.

Bai Xiqiao scratched the stubble on his chin distractedly, and asked: "Is there such a big difference who is guarding Jialin Pass? Anyway, there are not many people, so just rush in and chop them all off? I don't believe it." ..."

Qi Xiao waited for Bai Xiqiao to take a look, and blocked all his next words.

Bai Xiqiao knew what Qi Xiao meant, his question was nonsense, they had studied this a long time ago.

Entering Qi from Fenglin Mountain, they will pass Jialin Pass, Xingtian Pass, Bashan Pass, Zhengye Pass and Huaiyan Pass all the way, and they will reach Shuoliang, the capital of Qi, after crossing the five states.

Jialin Pass is the first pass on the border of Qi State, but it is not the most heavily guarded and heavily fortified.

Because Jialin Pass is too small, it is guarded in a valley, which is a gourd mouth. If a large number of troops can be stationed, it will be a natural moat that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is impossible to win it with only 6000 people.

But behind Jialin Pass is a miasma forest, unable to garrison troops.

After the winter, the garrison of Qi State will generally be mobilized. After Fenglin Mountain is blocked by heavy snow, the roads will be blocked, and the passes and inns in the mountains will be closed. winter.

The Jialin Pass garrison will not exceed 500 people in total, and no one will travel between Jialin Pass and Xingtian Pass until the snow melts in spring.

This is Qi Xiao's chance.

However, the geographical advantage of Jialin Pass cannot be ignored. Qi Xiao has no geographical advantages at all, and whoever is the one who closes the pass is their people.

Before entering Fenglin Mountain, Tang Ling began to make preparations, recording all the personnel and affairs of Qi's political leaders that he had seen. The first to bear the brunt was the leading generals, who were the enemies they were most likely to encounter.

Although Qi State is the weakest of China among the Three Kingdoms, it is because Qi State has the smallest land area, the smallest population, and many mountainous lands that make it difficult to cultivate and farm. It is not as rich as Chen and Zhou. There are many famous generals, many of them can be as famous as Bai Liu and Xun Anhou, they should not be underestimated.

The first name Tang Ling wrote down was Xu Zheng.

The mainstay of the state of Qi, who is about the same age as Bai Liu, is also a general who has fought against Bai Liu all his life.

Xu Zheng and Bai Liu each guarded a territory separated by Fenglin Mountain. They fought hand to hand on the battlefield countless times and wanted to kill each other countless times. They were enemies who hated each other the most, and they were like old friends who cherished each other. This confrontation is like hundreds of chess games, leaving behind many shocking plots and tricks.

Tang Ling studied and studied with her father year after year, and yearned for countless times. He also wanted to be a general like them.

Even Tang Ling's father Xun Anhou said that the two people he didn't want to meet on the battlefield were Xu Zheng and Bai Liu, and he wanted to call them treacherous.

Tang Ling knew that her father didn't mean that. In fact, he admired the two of them very much, and even felt sorry for the hero, but he couldn't tell anyone, so he could only laugh and curse.

Bai Liu has become a legend, and only the license remains.

If it is licensed to guard Jialin Pass, let alone 6000 people cannot enter, 3 people may not be able to enter, especially if they have no food, no reinforcements, and no heavy siege weapons.

Xu Zheng had been fighting with Bai Liu for decades, how could Bai Xiqiao not know about it.

The old injury that caused his father Bai Liu to injure his heart and lungs, and to suffer from cough syndrome, was Xu Zheng's chest shot!

Baixiqiao is not afraid of Xu Zheng, he hates Xu Zheng, he hopes that Xu Zheng is guarding Jialin Pass, he wants to stand in front of Xu Zheng, he wants to tell Xu Zheng that he is Bai Liu's son, and he wants to replace his father and take the place of his father. His head!

The closer it was to Qijing, the more unsettled Baixi Bridge was.

Tang Ling looked at Baixi Bridge and sighed, "It is very likely that the permit is not at Jialin Pass, but at Xingtian Pass.

After all, Xu Zheng was a first-rank military marquis who had sealed the Marquis of Zhenbei, so it was really out of character for him to lead hundreds of people to guard Jialin Pass. "

"...Marquis of Zhenbei..." Bai Xiqiao gritted his teeth angrily, meaning Xu Zheng restrained his father, Bai Liu? !Shameless!Back then, Bai Liu almost lost Xu Zheng's left arm, but now he can't afford to swing the spear that weighs nearly half a hundred catties!The license is a waste!

Qi Xiao's plan is very simple, if it is not for Xu Zheng to guard Jialin Pass, they will attack at night and cut the mess quickly.

If it is a license, they still attack at night, but only with assassination.

Xu Zheng may be very capable in leading the army, but he is half a hundred years old and his left arm was injured by Bai Liu. In terms of martial arts, he is definitely not as good as Chi Yue and Bai Xiqiao.

Jialin Pass is located on a high ground, separated from Xingtian Pass by a miasma forest. In late winter and early spring, the sunshine time is short, and the miasma in the forest is heavy.

Once Jialin Pass is captured, they will have a chance to rest and recuperate, as well as food supplies and a warm fire.

They are all hungry and crazy wolves now, not only Bai Xiqiao is in a hurry, but even Tang Ling occasionally shows scarlet and bloodthirsty eyes.

"hold on."

Qi Xiao still said the same thing, wait a little longer.

He can't take risks.

This road is full of dangers where there will be no return, and he must not rush forward at this time and this place.

It is indeed almost impossible for Xu Zhan to be stationed at Jialin Pass, but he is the Marquis of Zhenbei. When the snow melts in spring, Xu Zhan will come out to patrol the camp. Xu Zhan has kept this habit for many years, because he knows Jialin very well. Guan is so vulnerable.

He has been fighting with Bai Liu for so many years, I don't know how many times he was beaten by Bai Liu's surprise attack, and he has also paid back to Bai Liu. He has never been negligent in guarding the border. arrive.

"Hey!"

Bai Xiqiao scratched his beard again, so much that Lu Xiulin felt that he had lice on his body, making him itchy all over.

Qi Xiao looked at Lu Xiulin and asked, "Even if we didn't meet Xu Zheng at Jialin Pass, we would meet at Xingtian Pass. Command to help.

General Lu, can we fight? "

Lu Xiulin rubbed her hands involuntarily, both nervous and excited.

He is Bai Liu's lieutenant general. He has always kept Xu Zheng in his eyes, but Xu Zheng has never seen him. He has followed Bai Liu for many years. He never thought that one day he would become a famous general like Bai Liu. What he wants to do most is Make a great contribution in front of Bai Liu and defeat Xu Zheng!

Unlike Baixiqiao, what Lu Xiulin wants is to win a battle, win a battle beautifully, and win a battle openly!Win a license!

This idea is not even for military exploits and fame, but more like the nature of wild beasts. When facing other wolves, when the fight starts, he wants to attack and kill the other wolf's leader.

Qi Xiao's question to Lu Xiulin has actually been asked a long time ago, but Lu Xiulin has been unable to give an answer.

Most of the days when they hid in the mountains to avoid the wind and snow were boring, so a few people got together to do the deduction over and over again.

Tang Ling listed several generals of the Qi State, even drew their portraits, analyzed their habits and personalities, and speculated on how they would respond to Qi Xiao's surprise attack, whether they would be impulsive or stick to it. There is no doubt that Xu Li is the most elusive one, he is cunning and cautious.

Tang Ling looked at Qi Xiao. He never told Qi Xiao that the best way to deal with Xu Zheng is not to confront Xu Zheng, but to use a roundabout way to encircle Wei and save Zhao.

His method is not the strategy of a leading general, but the trick of a man playing tricks.

Long before he entered the mountain, in the last letter he sent back to the state of Zhou, he had already told his father, Marquis Xun An, to find a way to frame the license, making the emperor of Qi suspicious of the license and leaving the license in Shuoliang.

Like Bai Liu back then, he was impeached and recalled to Beijing.

Xu Zheng was a famous general and a first-rank military marquis. Tang Ling didn't expect that a few memorials would do anything to Xu Zheng.

But as long as Xu Zheng is not in Jialin Pass or Xingtian Pass, when they reach Bashan all the way, the offensive and defensive momentum will be reversed, and Qi Xiao's 6000 people will be able to use Bashan's terrain to block Xu Zheng's army!

What Tang Ling wanted was time!
