Lotus Leaf Lake, with a water surface of three to four hundred acres, looks vast and misty from a distance. Many wild ducks and waterbirds are playing around the lake, running and flying from time to time, leaving a series of ripples on the lake. A large hole has been dug around the lake, and a huge gate temporarily blocked the water from the lake. There used to be some people living by the Heye Lake who made a living by fishing. Now they were all captured by Lin Jun. On the one hand, they were prevented from being exploited by the Si Army, and on the other hand, if there were any idlers by the lake, there must be someone there. If there is a problem, Lin Jun will immediately go to arrest him. Zhang Yongchao led three people, dressed as ordinary people, to Heye Lake. The four looked at the vast water surface of Heye Lake. It seemed that if the lake wanted to shine, it would not be possible in a short while. The four of them checked in the woods and walked out without finding anything unusual. They had no idea that Lin Jun had already enforced martial law by the lake and that the danger was gradually approaching. The four of them were exploring along the embankment, and suddenly a group of Lin Jun sprang out from the low-lying area in the distance. These Lin Jun were ambushing by the lake. The captain of the Lin Jun shouted: "These must be Si Jun spies. Catch them all." Get up!" There were about twenty people in this pair of Lin troops, each holding a spear and rushing over. Seeing that the other party was coming fiercely and in large numbers, Zhang Yongchao said without hesitation: "Quickly retreat!" The four of them ran away. Upon seeing this, the patrol team chased after them, but the three men Zhang Yongchao brought, all of whom were soldiers from the security company with excellent physical fitness, and lacked armor and equipment, ran all the way and immediately left the Lin Army soldiers behind, and the distance between the two sides increased. Come farther and farther. Captain Lin gasped and said: "Grandma, you are a bear. You run really fast, but you can't come here and leave whenever you want!" Indeed, as Captain Lin said, Lin Jun has already been in several places. An ambush was set up at the intersection. When they saw four people running quickly and Lin Jun chasing after them, the soldiers who were ambush at the intersection immediately came out and blocked the road. There are strong enemies in front and pursuers behind. Zhang Yongchao frowned when he saw this. Will more than 100 kilograms be left here today? Because it was a disguised investigation, he only carried a dagger for self-defense. Zhang Yongchao took out the dagger from his arms and said to the three brothers: "We are from the Sijun Guard Company. We cannot embarrass the Chief of Staff. Brothers and I Come together and fight!" "Fight!" The three soldiers also drew their daggers, and the four of them rushed towards the Lin army blocking the way without hesitation. There were more than twenty Lin Jun at the intersection. They thought that these four people would raise their hands and surrender obediently, but they didn't expect that the four of them were like tigers and rushed at them regardless of their lives. Everyone was stunned for a moment. In an instant, four people rushed in. As the saying goes, an inch is short and an inch is dangerous, and a dagger is extremely advantageous for close combat. Lin Jun's spear almost lost its left and right sides. The soldiers of the guard company are usually well-trained, and their moves are practical and not sloppy. Every move is aimed at Lin Jun killed the vital points. ????????????????????????????????????????????????: The Lin Army soldier's neck was slashed, his eyes were staring, and he covered the wound with his hand, but blood still came out from between his fingers. Some had their hearts pierced by daggers and immediately fell to the ground motionless. After a while, more than ten Lin Jun soldiers were knocked down. The other soldiers backed away in fear. The ferocity of these four men was beyond their expectation. Some shouted loudly: "Reinforcement, come to reinforcements!" The soldiers of the Lin Army who were chasing after them also came after them. Zhang Yongchao and the four people were already stained with a lot of blood. Facing the long spears in front of them, the four people were not afraid of the big guns. He walked forward step by step, causing the more than ten Lin troops in front to retreat. Zhang Yongchao wiped the blood on the dagger with his sleeve. When he saw Lin Jun approaching behind him, he raised his dagger and shouted: "Charge!" The four of them rushed forward. The Lin Jun in front was so frightened that he dropped his spear and ran for his life. , Zhang Yongchao couldn't help laughing, and said: "A bunch of wastes who are greedy for life and afraid of death, let's leave quickly!" The four of them rushed out and finally ran out of the encirclement, but unexpectedly, the pursuers behind them started to fire arrows, and Zhang Yongchao was hit by an arrow in the back. , but the vital part was not injured, but another soldier was shot in the crook of the leg. One leg immediately lost its function, and he knelt on the ground with one leg and could not run. The kneeling soldier's name was Xiao Wu. When he saw the other three people stopping, he begged: "Deputy company commander, leave me alone, you go quickly!" Zhang Yongchao said firmly: "No! We came together, we must go back together! "Seeing the pursuers in the distance getting closer and closer, Xiao Wu put the dagger against his neck and shouted: "If you don't leave, I will die here immediately!" "No!" Zhang Yongchao shouted loudly. , said: "Xiao Wu, I will carry you back!" Seeing that Zhang Yongchao and the others were unwilling to leave, Xiao Wu became anxious and said: "Deputy company commander, if you carry me on your back, no one can leave, help me take care of my parents!" Zhang Yongchao felt something was wrong as soon as he heard what Xiao Wu said, and immediately went to grab the dagger in his hand, but he was still a step too slow, and saw Xiao Wu slash the dagger across his neck without hesitation.His dagger was suddenly stained red with blood, and his whole body slowly fell sideways. In order to make Zhang Yongchao give up saving people, Xiao Wu actually committed suicide, which made Zhang Yongchao feel like a knife. Zhang Yongchao knelt beside Xiao Wu and shouted hysterically: "Xiao Wu!" Coming over, Zhang Yongchao took the dagger in Xiao Wu's hand and said: "Xiao Wu, I will use your dagger to kill your enemy, and we will still fight side by side." The three of them no longer hesitated and immediately got into the road. In the nearby mountains and forests, with the help of his strong body and superhuman endurance, he was able to throw away Lin Jun's pursuers without a trace. The soldiers of Huju Pass stood neatly in a row, and flags were flying on the city wall. Since the war with Lin State, the defense of the gate has become more intensive. Qian Xiaoxing paced anxiously back and forth at Huju Gate with his hands behind his back. He waited until noon from morning until noon, but he still hadn't seen Zhang Yongchao and the others come back. He was wondering if something would happen, and suddenly he remembered that Sima Yiqing had warned him not to rush. Not impatient, he sat back down and slowly meditated. After a while, Zhang Yongchao and the others finally ran back. Qian Xiaoxing saw them on the city wall and immediately went down to meet them. Zhang Yongchao was hit by an arrow in his back, and there was a lot of blood left. No matter how good his health was, he was already pale at the moment. When he saw Qian Xiaoxing, he immediately knelt down and said: "Chief of Staff, Heye Lake has been blocked by Lin Jun. We even have sluice gates." Didn't see it, didn't complete the reconnaissance mission!" Qian Xiaoxing saw that the clothes of the three people were stained with blood and were in tatters. He stretched out his hand to help Zhang Yongchao and said, "Lin Jun was already on guard. You can detect it! This news is enough to avoid a defeat for our army. "Zhang Yongchao looked at Qian Xiaoxing without blaming him, but felt even more uncomfortable. He took out Xiaowu's dagger and said, "On the way to retreat, Xiaowu was killed by Lin Jun. He was shot in the crook of his leg and couldn't move. In order not to hinder us, he used this dagger to kill himself!" "Xiao Wu!" Qian Xiaoxing was also very impressed when he heard this name. Xiao Wu is always smiling and very kind, but the training of the army But he was extremely hard-working and conscientious. Qian Xiaoxing was also sad to lose such an excellent soldier. Thinking of the scene of him committing suicide, his eyes turned red and he choked up and said: "Xiao Wu is a good soldier. I am dedicated to having a soldier like him." Feel proud!" As soon as Qian Xiaoxing finished speaking, Zhang Yongchao finally couldn't hold on anymore due to excessive blood loss and ran all the way back. Qian Xiaoxing hurriedly sent someone to the military doctor for treatment by Lu Jin. Then Qian Xiaoxing walked to Sima Yiqing's residence, wanting to tell him the information immediately, but saw Sima Yiqing walking towards him. After the two met, Qian Xiaoxing said: "Father-in-law, a soldier detective was sacrificed." After understanding the situation, Lin Jun was indeed heavily guarded by Heye Lake, and even the scouts could not enter." Sima Yiqing was silent after hearing this. It seemed that the situation was worse than he expected. Unexpectedly, Chen Tian was still there. Someone with some skills thought for a moment and said: "It seems that Lianhua Pass can only be solved slowly, and we can't rush it." A big lake blocked the Si army's attack. Qian Xiaoxing was really unexpected. No matter how difficult it was to fight before, Qian Xiaoxing can think of ways to break through any city, but for this flood, he really can't think of a good countermeasure for a while. Qian Xiaoxing said helplessly: "We can't break through the Lotus Pass now, and it will be even more difficult to attack after Lin's army completes the construction." "Yes, attacking the pass will cause great losses, and we won't attack it unless it is absolutely necessary. This good son-in-law should I understand, after all, when the Hu army attacked the pass of Si State, more than 100,000 people died." Sima Yiqing said with a smile. Qian Xiaoxing replied: "Yes, if we attack the pass by force, I will never allow it. I can't bear it when I see those soldiers dying one after another. Father-in-law, you just said that you should try it slowly. Is there anything else you can do?" " "This can only be decided based on the situation. We are not familiar with the terrain here, and Lin Jun has a huge advantage. Let's make plans after we figure it out." Sima Yiqing had no choice for the moment. He said helplessly. Qian Xiaoxing said unwillingly: "Is there any other way that allows us to bypass the Lotus Valley to attack?" "This is unlikely. There are mountains and dense forests near the Lotus Valley. It is not easy for even people to get through, let alone It's said that the supplies for the war are too heavy," Sima Yiqing denied. Qian Xiaoxing's heart suddenly brightened and he said: "Father-in-law, there is a war story in our hometown. It's called building a plank road in the open and using it in the dark. It means that the road is being built in the open place, but secretly it takes a detour to attack. I think we can try it too. Now, it's possible to catch Lin Guoqi by surprise. " "Well, under the current circumstances, I think we can only give it a try," Sima Yiqing nodded. Qian Xiaoxing became excited and said: "I immediately sent someone to check the terrain and see if there are any mountain roads around."In the next few days, Qian Xiaoxing sent a large number of scouts to investigate, hoping to find a hidden path that could bypass Lianhua Pass. However, after the scouts came back, they all shook their heads in disappointment. There were few traces of people deep in the mountains. , there is no road at all, even if you go through thorns and thorns, you will be blocked by mountain streams or cliffs. Qian Xiaoxing still refused to give up. Until the last scout came back, the report still had no way to go. Qian Xiaoxing had to face this reality. Although he had encountered many difficulties in the past, Qian Xiaoxing could always find a way to solve them. He had never been so helpless as today. As he was thinking about it, he suddenly thought of the fortune-telling saying in Shandu. He vaguely remembered that it meant that everything went well before. But there will be difficulties in the future, and only by finding a noble person can we get through it safely, and the noble person is in Shiguo. Qian Xiaoxing usually doesn¡¯t believe in fate, but now he does believe it. People¡¯s destiny may be determined. Do they really want to go to Shiguo to find a noble person?
