I don't want to return

The cold wind swept away the tall trees and fell, and in a blink of an eye, heavy snow sealed the mountain.

Although the people in Yingtou Village have already stored food in the warehouses by relying on self-reliance and bartering, but there are so many people and the cold winter is coming, the rations are always not enough.

Mu Chongyu glanced at Chen Kangsi lightly, motioning for him to continue talking.

Chen Kangsi was a little uncertain about Mu Chongyu's attitude, and his tone unconsciously became a little apprehensive.

In fact, towards Mu Chongyu, he is not without hatred, originally he was the leader of Yingtou village, but he was suddenly taken over by others, how could he not hate?What's more, the occupant of the nest looks like a weak and sick child, although his appearance is rare.

It's just that I didn't expect... this sick beauty has some tricks, and it didn't last long, but she frightened no one in Yingtou village to dare to rebel, even Chen Kangsi secretly regretted it.

Regardless of this, the origin of this sick beauty seems to be not simple.

From the astonishment and unforgettableness at the first sight, to the disdain and suspicion later, and now, Chen Kangsi realized that as soon as he stood in front of Mu Chongyu, for some reason, he always felt like he was shorter than him. Yu has always had a pleasant face and a warm smile, but whenever those black jade-like eyes glanced over, he couldn't help but tremble.

It seemed to be the trembling of worshiping the most honorable person.

"Brother Kang?" Mu Chongyu frowned when he saw that Chen Kang had been silent for a long time.

Chen Kangsi hurriedly returned to his senses, and seeing Mu Chongyu frowned slightly, seeming displeased, he couldn't help feeling a little more disturbed, rubbed the sweat from his palms, and asked with a stern face: "Does the third master think this plan is not good? ? Then when I fart, Chen Kangsi, the third master should not argue with me."

Mu Chongyu laughed dumbfounded, shook his head, stood up, and stood with his hands behind his back by the window.

Outside the window is a vast expanse of white snow, covering it, making the entire Heiyun Mountain look like it is covered in silver.

Snow days are a good time to start troubles.

"Mu San thinks that the plan proposed by Brother Kang Fourth is a good strategy, you can try it." Mu Chongyu turned around slowly, and said slowly with thin lips that were a little white from the wind, without a trace of emotion.

The so-called good strategists here are none other than the old profession of these bandits, robbery.

This was also the reason why Chen Kangsi was so anxious and undecided.Mu Chongyu has always hated their banditry, and issued an explicit order to prohibit it. If he hadn't seen that the winter was approaching, and his brothers would starve to death on the mountain without rations, he would never have dared to mention such a strategy.Unexpectedly——Mu Chongyu actually agreed.

Chen Kangsi was surprised and delighted at the same time, and he didn't bother to ask, so he wanted to go down to discuss specific matters with other people.

But Mu Chongyu stopped him, and told him the strategy that he had been considering carefully for the past few days.

What Chen Kangsi said, he had already learned the news a few days ago-Xu Lihui's subordinates will pass through this place with a pair of grain teams in the past two days, and send them to the Beiyu court.

It was he who "overestimated" Xu Lihui before.I thought that even though Xu Lihui had no intention of helping him recover Nanyan, he could be regarded as a neutral figure, but he had already secretly joined the Beiyu court.

It is very cold now, Beiyu was originally located in the northern cold place, the weather is not good, and it is also a time when food is in short supply. At a time when there is a shortage, Xu Lihui will play tricks, forcing all the farmers in the south to pay rent and tax, and send the people The food stored in the house was looted, but it was used to flatter the Beiyu court.

Thinking of this, Mu Chongyu frowned even tighter, and the Langhao brush in his hand paused heavily, smearing a thick ink stain on the rice paper.

This time, he wanted Xu Lihui's food team to go and never return.

After Chen Kangsi heard Mu Chongyu's arrangement, he glanced at Mu Chongyu's face, puzzled, but he was really confused, so he had to ask, so he said bravely, "Third Master, your plan is good. , but there is one thing that I, Chen Kangsi, don’t understand—you said that you asked the brothers to set up an ambush at Hukou Ridge, fight against Xu Lihui’s soldiers, and rob food and grass, but there are so many Kangzhuang Avenues at the foot of Heiyun Mountain. Guarantee that Xu Lihui must pass Hukou Ridge?"

Although Chen Kangsi was a rough man, he was not stupid either. He had worked in the bandit business for so long, and he had figured out some basics of the art of war, and he knew how important terrain was in combat.I think that when Mu Chongyu's wine team was robbed, it was on a relatively narrow and difficult road under Heiyun Mountain.

And this Hukou Ridge is a dangerous place just by its name, with cliffs on both sides, and snow knives and ice blades at this time. "And out.Mu Chongyu asked him to set up an ambush here to raid the grain team. On the surface, it should be a foolproof plan.

However, the question is, Xu Lihui is such a famous general, if he has to pass through this old forest in Montenegro, can he be careful and choose a road that is spacious and crowded?How could it be possible to choose Hukou Ridge, which is difficult to defend and difficult to attack?

Even if an ambush was set up there, it would be a waste of work.

Chen Kangsi scratched the back of his head, unable to figure it out, so he had some doubts.

Mu Chongyu smiled, looked at Chen Kangsi and said slowly: "Don't worry, Fourth Brother Kang, Xu Lihui's subordinates will definitely go to Hukou Ridge."

Chen Kangsi looked at Mu Chongyu's mysterious smile, and for some reason, suddenly felt a chill on his back. He consciously didn't ask any more questions, bowed and retreated silently.

On the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, thirty miles away from the foot of Heiyun Mountain.

A group of soldiers and horses are staggering past here.Although it hasn't snowed today, the weather is fine, but the cold wind is strong, blowing across the face, can also scrape off a layer of human skin, it is not difficult.

However, among the mighty two thousand soldiers, none of them dared to steal, rape and play tricks, and took it lightly, on the contrary, they became more cautious.

The general at the head looked back at the entire team from time to time to see if anyone was falling behind, and sent scouts to scout the way from time to time to ensure the safety of the journey.

Otherwise, if there is a mistake in this cart of food and grass, he and the two thousand lives of his subordinates will have to be buried with him.

This person was He Yuan, General of Ningyuan, who was ordered by Xu Lihui to collect food and grass from the south and escort him to Beijing.He defected to Xu Lihui's subordinates two years ago, and was promoted to his current position because of his bravery and military strength on the battlefield. Now Xu Lihui values ​​his outstanding martial arts skills, so he can safely entrust the task of escorting food and grass to him. Do.

At the end of the new year, a large amount of grain and grass were sent to the capital of Beiyu to relieve the urgent needs of the Beiyu court. How could Xu Lihui not pay attention to such a well-planned New Year's gift?How could he not be cautious?

At this moment, the scout sent out half an hour ago came back on horseback. For some reason, his posture and expression were a little uneasy.

Seeing that He Yuan's heart sank, he hurried up to meet him and asked, "What's wrong?"

The scout got off his horse, knelt down on one knee, and said, "Report to the general, the frontier is the boundary of Heiyun Mountain. I don't know...do you want to enter the mountain and walk across the mountain road? Or should you go around Heiyun Mountain?"

He Yuan frowned in thought.Heiyun Mountain is surrounded by bandits. This is something that has been heard for a long time. However, if you want to bypass this majestic Heiyun Mountain, you will have to delay a lot of travel. Today is fifteen, and there will be more than ten days It's the New Year's Eve at the end of the year, if I don't send the food and grass in time for the first day of the New Year, I'm afraid I will get into trouble...

Thinking of this, He Yuan said in a deep voice to the left and right lieutenant generals: "Pass down the order, let all the soldiers be extremely vigilant, protect the food and grass, and follow me into the mountain."

The left and right answered "yes", and the order was passed down layer by layer, and the whole team moved forward majesticly and quickly.

Although Heiyun Mountain is difficult and dangerous, as long as you walk along the foot of the mountain and don't go to the narrow and secluded place, it will be fine.

After walking for about three miles like this, there was no difference, let alone bandits commotion. He Yuan was about to relax, but suddenly his expression changed, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

There is fraud ahead!

On the flat road in front of me, the thick white snow was slightly pressed tightly on the ground, reflecting the sunlight. On both sides of the road, the pines and cypresses on the gentle slopes were bent by the snow water.

It looked like a scene of peace and tranquility.

However, He Yuan, who came all the way on the battlefield, was keenly aware that something was wrong, and he sensitively felt a strange atmosphere slowly overflowing.

This quietness was a bit too much. I didn't even see the footprints of birds or beasts on the snow, as if...someone did it deliberately.

He narrowed his eyes and quietly looked at the snow-covered pines and cypresses on both sides, raised his brows slightly, and smiled lightly.

Although it is covered by pines and cypresses, the pines and cypresses are all white at present, only on the two mountain ridges on the left and right, the snow is slightly melting, and among the intertwined branches and branches, you can see a few flying flag shadows.

It was obvious that someone was ambushing here.

He Yuan reined in his horse, waved his hand quietly, and immediately understood from left to right, and the 2000 people stopped and walked in the other direction.

If this road does not work, choose another road.

At the same time, the dozen or so Yingtouzhai brothers who "ambushed" behind the two pines and cypresses watched He Yuan and his party turn around, and couldn't help but smile at each other, and happily took back the order flag flying in the wind into their arms. , Go back and return to your life.

Over there, He Yuan gave up the most flat and open road under Heiyun Mountain, and went into the forest instead.At this time, the mountains and forests are covered with ice and snow, and the trees are sparse. The branches and leaves of the past are all withered and half-buried in the snow, so the line of sight seems to be open.

The well-trained 2000 soldiers and horses walked on the snow, but they didn't hear the slightest noise.Everyone watched the changes around them very vigilantly, and secretly put their hands on the scabbard around their waists.

All of a sudden, the scout who was walking in the front suddenly let out an exclamation from the throat, and the next moment, he was seen crooked, shaking his body, as if he was about to sink into the ground!

He Yuan hurriedly dismounted to look, but suddenly heard the scout shouting: "General, don't come here!"

Hearing these words, the entire 2000 men felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and their nerves tensed up in an instant.

Was it an ambush? !

"It's...it's a swamp..." the scout struggled with his feet in the mud, explaining with difficulty.

Everyone was relieved immediately, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.However, He Yuan's expression was not much relaxed.On the one hand, he ordered people to go to get the rope and pull the scouts up, and on the other hand, he ordered several other people to carefully check the terrain ahead.

As a result, when they came back, they were all frowning.

It turned out that in this winter, the snow was abundant, and the accumulated rotten branches and leaves in the forest were buried under it, making the land even more wet and soft, and a large swamp was formed, lying in front of it, blocking it. their way.

He Yuan frowned tightly, and a shallow gully appeared between his brows. He held the rein and meditated for a while, and finally had to order everyone to turn around.
