Chapter 61: On the Walk

It’s the weekend, and I’ll update it today. Now the essence building is not available. Friends who want essence only need the essence post. I will add essence to Laomao at 8 o’clock tomorrow night.

———————————————————————————————————————————

Yang Tian checked the map. This was a marching map. It only simply marked the cities on the surrounding border. The rivers and mountains were just a few strokes. Despite this, such a map was still a secret court. If anyone among the people dared to steal it, it would definitely be a crime of beheading.

On the left side of Pinggao County is the tall Liupan Mountains, which stretch for hundreds of miles. If you want to go around, you have to walk at least thousands of miles more. Even if you arrive in Pule County, the daylily will probably be cold. On the right side of Pinggao County, there are also mountains that are undulating, and the distance that continues is longer than that of Liupan Mountain. There is no road in Liupan Mountain, even if there is a road, the mountain is too high. Maybe it will take longer than a detour. If you want to rescue Pule County, you must find a road on the right to pass through it.

Yang Tian looked up and asked, "Does anyone know if there is a path through this mountain range?"

Everyone looked at each other, and no one had ever heard that they could cross the mountain without going to Pinggao County. Li Gang said: "General, why not invite General Li Chong to come and ask?"

Yang Tian patted his head and secretly told him why he almost forgot Li Chong. He is not only the county magistrate of Pinggao County, but also his hometown. He should be very familiar with the terrain around Pinggao County.

Originally, Yang Tian wanted Li Chong and his subordinates to return to Longdong County behind, but neither Li Chong nor his subordinates were willing to leave the front line. Although there was little hope of counterattacking Pinggao County, they still subconsciously wanted to be closer to their former homeland. These people could escape, and they were all elites of the Li family. Yang Tian did not force the order to let them go, but temporarily established a battalion and managed them in a unified manner.

Yang Tian glanced at Zheng Xiong, and Zheng Xiong immediately understood: "General, I will invite General Li Chong to come."

Watching Zheng Xiong go out, everyone started to connect and attack the opponent with 2,000 people with 2,000 people, and there was a mountain crossing in the middle. The Xuanlong Army had never done such a thing even at its most glorious time. Once it was won, it would undoubtedly shock the government and the country. Except for Li Quan, Yuan Wei and other mature and persistent people, some were worried. Shi Wansui, Luo Yi, Qu Tutong and others looked excited. This was what a real man did. As for whether he would fail, they were too lazy to think about it.

Li Chong quickly followed Zheng Xiong to the camp. Seeing the Xuanlong army gathered together, all the senior officials gathered together, he was stunned: "The last general will pay a visit to the general manager."

Yang Tian intimately grabbed Li Chong's hand and came to the map: "General Li, see if there is a small path to bypass Pinggao County."

After several days of rest, Li Chong had recovered his strength. He was surprised when he heard Yang Tian's words: "General, you want to go behind the Turks."

"Yes, I just interrogated several prisoners. We learned that Pule County was still resisting, and there were about 20,000 enemies besieging Pule County. I think the Xuanlong Army should rescue them." Yang Tian did not intend to hide it.

When Li Chong heard that Pule County was still resisting, he first disbelief. The city of Pule County was far less dangerous than Pinggao County. His Pinggao County was lost in three days. If Pule County was still resisting now, it would seem that he would be too incompetent.

"General, is the news accurate? Will you make a mistake?"

Yang Tian smiled and said, "No wonder General Li didn't believe it. Even if I heard it, I didn't believe it. However, the news was certain. The words of the three prisoners were confirmed to each other. Moreover, if it were not for Pule County, it would not be possible to explain the Turks' actions of keeping troops in Pinggao County."

Li Chong murmured: "It's incredible, Da Xi Changru is a real general."

Yang Tian did not disturb him, so he let Li Chong calmly digest the news that made him feel regretful. After a while, Li Chong came back to his senses: "General, there are two small paths on the right that can pass through the mountainous areas. But when you set out now, it will take ten days to reach Pule County at the earliest."

Yang Tian was overjoyed: "There are actually two, which is great."

Everyone was happy and automatically ignored the words from Li Chong. Li Quan stood up: "General, whether to reconsider, who can know whether Pule County can be defended for ten days? If our army arrives at Pule County, Pule County is captured by the Turks again, once our army is exposed, it is likely that the entire army will be destroyed."

The tent suddenly became quiet. Li Quan's words made sense. In fact, the army marched for hundreds of miles, and it was difficult not to be detected by the Turks. Once Pule County was captured first, the Xuanlong Army would fall into the fate of being attacked from both sides. Even if it could escape, it would be a loss of troops and generals.

Da Xihong stared at Li Quan with anger ejaculated in his eyes. If Li Quan had not been in the Xuanlong Army for many years and was his old superior, he would have to pluck his sword and duel with him: "General Li, are you going to die and not save him?"

Looking at Da Xihong's face, Li Quan was stunned and remembered that the magistrate of Pudong County was Da Xihong's father. However, he was confident and had a clear conscience, and was not afraid: "Master Da Xizhuang, I will only be on the matter and not send the entire army into danger because of impulse. If so, you will miss the matter because of your own interests."

"You..." Da Xi Hong was about to say something again, and Yang Tian had waved his hand to stop him: "No need to fight, I have decided to rescue him. There is no danger in fighting. Since Da Xi Changru can hold on for one month, I believe he can hold on for another ten days."

Li Quan had no choice but to sigh. Since Yang Tian had decided, he could not argue anymore. Da Xihong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Yang Tian had not changed his mind, but still glared at Li Quan fiercely.

Yang Tian turned to Li Chong: "General Li, continue to say, which road is better to go?"

Li Chong smiled bitterly: "General, in fact, both roads are not easy to walk. In many places, only one person and one horse are allowed to pass through. On one side is a peak and on the other side is a steep valley. If you fall down accidentally, you will be crushed to pieces. Fortunately, we only have 2,000 people, otherwise we will not be able to pass."

Going through such mountains, you don’t have to think about it and know that it will not be easy to walk, otherwise Pinggao County would not appear so important. He comforted Li Chong and said, “It doesn’t matter, as long as you can go there.”

When Li Chong heard Yang Tian say this, he had to set a small road first. This small road is only more than ten miles away from Pinggao County, which is relatively easier to walk. It is just that you may encounter Turkic scouts. The other small road is more than thirty miles away from Pinggao County. There is no problem with safety. It is just that the whole army will have to go around more than 400 miles from there. For the Xuanlong Army, which is now precious time, it is really a waste.
