The sky was purple, like amethyst glass.Among the mountains, a trestle spanning from north to south is built on a clear lake. Around the trestle bridge are nine thick iron pillars, which protrude from the bottom of the lake to a height of three feet.

At this time, there were two figures, one purple and one white, standing on two of the iron pillars at the same time.

Swords, thousands of swords, like flying feathers all over the sky, floated and rotated around the two of them. The blades of the swords passed by the two of them countless times, but they were like shadows of each other, making it impossible to see clearly within an inch. Move like lightning.The purple shadow mirror flowing above the sky illuminates the whole earth, and the dazzling light hits the flying sword blade. The crystal clear blade reflects the two people's sharp eyes and cold faces.

"Three folds of Yangguan!" A sword flew obliquely, like purple lightning.

"Ming Jing Zhi Shui!" A sword was slashing, and it collapsed like a blue thunder.

"!" Li Yinshang, who suddenly woke up from the carriage, was in a cold sweat. He recalled the man in white in his dream, reached out and touched his right arm, and said to himself, "Jingyuan, you're not dead? How is it possible? ..."

On June 15, Tianbao 27th year, Li Yinshang led the Cangyue Army to withdraw from the three counties of Changshan, went south to the Yellow River Basin, captured the rebels Luozhou and Xiangzhou successively, and advanced into the southwest area.Seven days later, Changshan's Yan family army was alone, and the whole of Hebei fell along with Changshan.Inside Xiangzhou Governor's Mansion, there was a soft knock on the door outside the dimly lit room, "Come in." A young man's voice sounded in the room, but he could hear a feeling of exhaustion.

"My lord, it's late at night, why don't you go to bed?" It was Sun Youmin, the commander of the Dark Bow Battalion, who pushed the door open. His left hand was still wrapped in a bandage. , Annihilating [-] rebels in Xiangzhou City, he led the bow team to the front line and shot at the tower, but was accidentally injured by Liu Ya.

From his eyes, Li Yinshang was only wearing a middle coat and his long hair was loose, looking straight at the southern sky outside the window. "You Min, you didn't sleep. Your left arm is still injured, shouldn't you take care of it?" During the attack on the city during the day, his left arm was injured by random arrows.

Sun Youmin was silent, he took a deep look at Li Yinshang who was full of tiredness, "This subordinate will leave."

After Li Yinshang heard the sound of the door closing, he sighed slightly, the stars in the summer night, the waning moon in the sky, the desolate light of the stars and the moon shone on the silver long sword placed on the table. "Qingqing..."

In the early morning of the next day, the Fengyang Army left the Xiangfan area and scouted Pegasus to the Chengdu area. General Wen Sheng of the Xuanyuan Society summoned him immediately, "Report to General Wen that the Cangyue Army captured the two states of Luo and Xiang of the rebel army. Plant the flags of the Tang army everywhere, and send soldiers to make us recover quickly." Said the scout.

Wen Sheng didn't believe that Li Yinshang would rebel, and this behavior convinced him of his own judgment.

On July [-]th of the first year of Zhide, Li Heng ascended the throne.Xuanyuan Society Buqi Duwei Wensheng, Jianning Wang Li Tan, and Baotao Wei Zhonglang jointly named Chen Yuhan to Shangshu to intercede for Li Yinshang.

The memorial was sent to Lingwu, and on that day, another memorial was also presented to the emperor.

"Hmph! Look at it, what is it!" After reading the memorabilia, Li Heng angrily threw it on the red carpet in front of the palace. Not only that, but also the statement of treason written by the Fengyang king Li Yinshang who you are begging for!"

Wen Sheng walked out from the generals, lowered his head and held the wat board, "But our army has regained Xiangzhou under Li Yinshang's hard work. Xiangzhou is an important town. If Li Yinshang rebelled, the rebels would not use this place to attack." in exchange for their trust."

Baotao Wei Zhonglang also listed Chen Yuhan, "May I ask Your Majesty, what did Li Yinshang write?"

The eunuch, the attendant beside the emperor, smiled contemptuously, "He wrote 'Even if you are poor, you will be rich'."

"Oh! You are still interceding for him now? Are you doubting my judgment!" Li Heng waved his golden sleeves, "Although you are poor, you are prosperous? What does this mean? Even if the world is in trouble, it is only Heng's fault? Hehe , What a Li Yinshang, traitor!" Li Heng smiled vigorously, and Long Yan was already furious, he stared at Wen Sheng, although the latter remained magnanimous and unchanged in his judgment, "Anyone who is begging for mercy, and rebellious Same theory! Retire!"

Seven days later, when Li Yinshang led his troops into the Bailongkou area, the soldiers and supplies were already running out.About to enter the Fengyang area with complex hills and ravines, Li Yinshang and Su Yanzhou stood on a grassland, looking at Fengyang County in the distance. "I really didn't expect that when I came back, things will be changed." Su Yanzhou sighed, and at the same time, he looked at the former county king and today's rebel - Li Yinshang. He was obviously much thinner than when he was stationed in Changshan. His face also looked bloodless.Su Yanzhou had already read Wen Sheng's letter to Li Yinshang before, in which he said, "Li Ai slandered, and the emperor was furious. Repeated admonitions failed, pleadings were fruitless. The road ahead is long, and the king cherishes it."

"Yanzhou, let's go back to Fengyang next time. This king must take the head of Li Aixiang!" Li Yin said angrily, his second uncle Li Ai has been coveting the land of Fengyang for a long time, if he hadn't returned to Fengyang eight years ago Inheriting the title, I am afraid that Fengyang has already changed hands, and now... it is still in his way.

"My lord, there is no food and grass ready for tomorrow." Su Yanzhou raised his hand to caress his own colt, which seemed a little tired after driving for days.

"There are three strongholds in Yinfenggu, Sun Moon Cliff, and Wolong Pass nearby. They should all have grain storage. Should I go to get grain?" Zhou Mochen beside him lowered his head and thought for a while.

"Now this king has been trapped by rebels, and my uncle Li Ai has taken over the land of Fengyang. We are no longer an official army but a rebel army." Li Yinshang took a deep breath, "Sun Moon Cliff is easy to attack and difficult to attack." Guard, there were only 300 soldiers defending before, and they took this place directly tonight, and after collecting food, they quickly went south to the old place of Fengyang." After speaking, Li Yinshang got on his horse and called for Sun Youmin, the commander of the Dark Bow Battalion.He thought for a while, and added, "When you arrive in Fengyang, whether you stay or leave, this king will never force you."

"Wait, my lord, do you still remember the Sun Moon Cliff guard? If he hadn't been transferred, he might not be able to take him lightly tonight..." Su Yanzhou suddenly thought of something, and said hastily.

Li Yinshang comforted his black war horse, looking ahead thoughtfully, "If I remember correctly, this king is Su Yanmei who was originally under Brother Mo's command?"

Su Yanzhou nodded silently, "She is my aunt. Ten years ago, outside the southeast Sichuan Road in the Dark Snow Pass of Rongtian Ridge, former Fengyang prince Li Fumo and former Fengyang king Li Yanyi ordered Su Yanmei to lead the Jiannan Dao Shence Army to ambush The [-] barbarian army led by King Beigu of Nanzhao captured Beigu King, killed [-] enemies and captured [-], which shocked Southern Shu. Since then, Aunt Su Yanmei has been hailed as the "Sword of Southern Shu."

Li Yinshang was silent for a long time, looked at the grassland in front of him, and said softly, "If it wasn't for... maybe this king should call you nephew." A cool wind blew past, but Su Yanzhou didn't seem to hear it, Li Yinshang shook his head , and then said, "Yanzhou. Youmin. Mochen."

Su Yanzhou, Sun Youmin, and Zhou Mochen clasped their hands together and said in unison, "The end is here!"

"Tonight at Haishi, Mo Chen and I attacked Wolong Pass at night, and Black Sword Camp and Yue Ren Camp were under my command. At the same time, You Min and Dark Bow Camp ambushed in the southeast slope of Wolong Pass to block Fengyang's main force and Yinfeng Valley's reinforcements. Yanzhou and the Black Spear Battalion are on standby in the forest on the Sun Moon Cliff, and before the ugly hour tonight, the Sun Moon Cliff defenders will surely reinforce, and take advantage of them to go out to capture the Sun Moon Cliff!" Li Yinshang quickly made a battle plan.

"As ordered!"

In Shenshi, inside the house of General Sun Moon Cliff, which was as peaceful as ever, there was a woman half lying in front of the bed, with a silver fish scale armor hanging beside the bed, reading the book "New Words of the World" by the oil lamp, the corners of her eyes were swollen. There are fine wrinkles, her face is pretty, but her expression is as solemn as a general's. She wears the same hair style as a man, and she is still wearing the Fengyang Army uniform. It seems that she has no plans to go to bed.Suddenly, an attendant knocked on the door outside the house, "General Su, the sentry returned and reported that Cang Yue's soldiers disappeared on the grassland in three ways, and it seems that one of them is coming this way."

"Oh?" Su Yanmei put down her book and sat up on the bed when she heard the words, "There has been no war in Fengyang for many years, is it finally time to break the ice?" A few days ago, I received a letter from Li Ai, who is acting as the agent of Fengyang County, saying that Li Yin was injured. Conspiracy, sent troops to attack Maweiyi Emperor's car, hoping that Li Yin would be captured and returned to the court, and tried on behalf of his brother.She sent people to verify the truth many times, but it was exactly the same as what was said in the letter. "Yin Shang, you hold a grudge because your father and brother were excluded by the Holy One, and you actually did such a rebellious thing..." She was regretful.

Suddenly, there was a noisy quarrel outside the door, and someone shouted faintly, "Get out of the way, let me see your commander!"

"Xiao Hei, who is that outside?" Su Yanmei straightened her clothes and walked towards the door.

"It seems...they are two generals of the Tiance Army. I heard they came from Chengdu." The attendant replied.

"Squeaky." The door was opened by Su Yanmei, "Oh? Then I want to meet you."

After a while, inside General Sun Moon Cliff's room, General Wen Qingyi and Gu Jingzhi were drinking tea from bowls handed over by their attendants. Su Yanmei walked to the door and gently knocked on the wooden door. Both of them raised their heads and hurriedly saluted "Qing Yi (Jing Zhi) pays his respects to General Su."

Su Yanmei was wearing a silver fish-scale armor, her hair curled up like a cloud, and her words and deeds showed the general's majesty, "You are welcome. The two generals are here for the Cang Yue Army?"

Both of them nodded, Gu Jingzhi took out the topographic map of Bailongkou area, but was suddenly stopped by Su Yanmei, "The two generals are not familiar with Bailongkou here, why don't you listen to my opinion?"

Gu Jingzhi raised his head and Wen Qingyi looked at each other, and nodded at each other. Su Yanmei showed a little smile, "Before that, just one question, is Li Yinshang really involved in treason?"

Wen Qingyi sighed, "Your Majesty has spoken, and there are all witnesses and material evidence. When his subordinates attacked Mawei, Jing Zhi and I were present."

After Su Yanmei heard this, she didn't say anything for a long time. Gu Jingzhi asked tentatively, "General Su?"

She shook her head, "Oh, it's okay, you two just listen to my analysis of this battle."

The moon was as bright as the moon, with a few black clouds drifting past, and there was still a moment before Haishi. The two battalions of Yueren and Mojian, with more than a thousand Cangyue troops, all gathered on the edge of the cliff of Wolong Pass. Wolong has three gates in the east, west and north, and the south is precipice.When the sky was bright and the moon was bright, the thousands of iron claws of the Yueren Camp were covered with a layer of silver. Li Yin Shangnan glanced in the direction of Yushan, then observed the position of the moon, and drew out the long sword in his hand, "Let's go."

"Swish, whoosh." Thousands of iron claws flew towards the cliff connected with ropes, and many iron claws fell down without grabbing a suitable fixed object.The dark blue shadows of the Cang Yue Army quickly climbed up the fixed rope like a gecko, and within half an hour they all approached the city wall of Wolong Pass.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack..." Before the sentinel could issue a second alarm, his throat was cut by a soldier from the Black Sword Battalion. The Cang Yue Army went straight to the general's house in Wolongguan after annihilating more than a dozen sentinels in the south in an instant. , The light footsteps were hardly noticed by other sentries, and the 1000 people quickly advanced to the training ground in front of the general's house. Li Yinshang looked up and looked around, suddenly his face was livid, and his steps suddenly stopped.Zhou Mochen also had a premonition of something, his body was startled, and he followed Li Yinshang to a stop.

Wolong Pass, which was originally pitch black with only a few dark candles, suddenly hundreds of torches lit up on the low walls on both sides of the training ground, instantly illuminating the Cang Yue Army in the training ground. Their dark blue uniforms It was dyed purple!The big flag fluttered, forcing the sky to cover the moon, and the big flag flying on the low wall was the Tiance Army's "Mie" flag, and the rows of soldiers who stood out were the thousand sharpshooters of the Tiangong Battalion!

"The traitor Li Yinshang, you have nowhere to go!" That was the voice of General Wen Qingyi of the Tiangong Battalion, full of judgment.

Li Yinshang regained his composure immediately after his face was ashen, and without hesitation, "Mo Jian, Yue Ren, and Hook Sword fly!" As soon as the words fell, a thousand iron claws quickly flew up to the walls on both sides, entwined around the battlements on the wall The soldiers of the Black Sword Battalion also reacted quickly, stepping on two iron claws with both feet, and rushed straight towards the low wall.Li Yinshang also drew out his shining long sword, and asked sharply, "Qing Yi, have you forgotten the visit of the King of Tiance Mansion!"

Wen Qing raised his bow and drew his bow, gritted his teeth, "Enforce the law impartially and abide by principles, this is the mission of Tiance's army!"

Li Yin was displeased with his injury, and leaped up high with cold brows and drew his sword, slashing straight at the archer in front of Wen Qingyi, "Revenge is a principle!?" The frosty wind swept in, and the two Tiance archers were instantly knocked to the ground. Under the sword, Wen Qingyi was the only one left.

"Whoosh!" When approaching, it was inevitable, Wen Qingyi ignored his questioning, and shot the arrow feathers straight towards Li Yinshang's eyes. This distance is a surefire way to hit him!However, the arrow just shot didn't have time to accelerate, Li Yinshang flashed back with his sword, separating the arrow feathers directly.There were not many soldiers ambushing at Wolong Pass. It seemed that some of the generals guarding Bailongkou were skilled in the art of war, and they probably saw through their plan to attack Wolong and take Sun Moon Cliff directly. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time.Li Yinshang placed his sword on Wen Qingyi's neck, and Zhou Mochen, who was at the side, understood, and shouted, "Stop, all heavenly strategists! Your commander has been captured! The Cang Yue Army does not want to hurt the feelings of our comrades, and when our army leaves, we will take care of ourselves." Will let people go!"

Li Yinshang approached Wen Qingyi's ear, "There is only your Tiangong Battalion here, so it can be seen that the main force has all gone towards the Sun Moon Cliff, right?"

Although Wen Qingyi was captured, she did not lose her composure. She still didn't say anything, but her eyes were a little erratic.

The Riyue Cliff is divided into the former city gate and the second city gate, with mountains on both sides and cliffs on one side. The first and second city gates are built on the south line, and the grain and general camp are all inside the second gate.At this moment, Su Yanmei, Gu Jingzhi and the [-] soldiers defending Sun Moon Cliff were hiding behind the wall of the second city gate, and the attendant came again to send a message, "Zishi has arrived, and Wolong Pass is in a hurry. Are we here?" Is it time for reinforcements?" Su Yanmei believed before that: Li Yinshang would pretend to attack Wolong Pass, but in fact he would take Sun Moon Cliff, and after seizing food and grass, he led his army to rush to Yinfeng Valley and enter Fengyang area.After Riyue Cliff is captured, our army will definitely reinforce it. However, Riyue Cliff is surrounded by cliffs on three sides, and the only way to go is to the south.However, there was no movement after midnight, if there was a strong attack on Wolong Pass, Wen Qingyi's weak army would definitely not be able to defend it.

"General, it seems that no one will attack Sun Moon Cliff tonight." Gu Jingzhi also judged in the same way. If he didn't save Wolong Pass, the connection between Sun Moon Cliff and Yinfeng Valley would be broken, and he would be more passive at that time.

Su Yanmei just made a stop gesture, signaling to stop talking.She looked up at the sky, took a deep breath, and said calmly, "Wait for another half an hour at last."

Gu Jingzhi noticed the elusive taste in her expression, "General Su, do you have any clues about the astrology?"

Su Yanmei sighed, "Tiangu Xing, who symbolizes the military disaster, hangs in the corner and Kang Ersu. Tonight is not peaceful."

The sky has gradually been covered by clouds, the stars and the moon are gradually covered, the sound of thunder can be faintly heard in the summer night, and in the bushes halfway up the mountainside of Sun Moon Cliff, a team of dark blue armor can be seen gathering.

After Su Yanzhou organized his troops, he looked at the night sky in midsummer, but he couldn't see Wang Shu. "It's hard to know the time. We can only make a rough estimate. The Zi hour should have passed. The prince ordered us to attack the city at the time of Chou, so it should be now."

Inside the second gate of Sun Moon Cliff, the attendant reminded again, "General, half an hour has passed, let's reinforce Wolong!"

Su Yanmei nodded, "Order all the troops to open the city gates and gather in front of the gate to set off."

"Wait!" Gu Jingzhi suddenly reached out to stop her, "There is movement outside."

"What's the movement..." Su Yanmei looked at the original place questioningly, hundreds of frightened birds suddenly flew out of the shrub forest on the Sun Moon Cliff!

"Order all the troops to act according to the original plan, and never act rashly!" Su Yanmei immediately corrected the order, and clenched the sword around her waist with her right hand.
