    "Stop!" Wang Shuang was the first to rein in the advancing horses, looked at Shehu Valley not far away, and shouted at the soldiers behind him.  :.  Thousands of soldiers and horses stretched out for several miles, with a fully loaded carriage in the middle, and soldiers scattered on both sides of the carriage to accompany them.  Since the entire army knew that they were escorting a large amount of gold and silver treasures, the soldiers were very nervous and cautious along the way, for fear of something going wrong.  Of course, there were also some greedy soldiers who tried to rob a few carriages filled with gold and silver treasures. However, Wang Shuang discovered them and killed them all.  As the saying goes, people die for wealth and birds die for food. After the soldiers knew what they were escorting, they all had their own agendas. Except for the five hundred personal guards under Wang Shuang's tent who were loyal to him, the rest of them  Half-heartedly, they tried to get a share of the gold and silver treasures they escorted, and then fled back to their hometown with the money to become a rich man.  It's a pity that Wang Shuang is very careful about this batch of gold and silver treasures. Although many people had misconceptions along the way, they were still afraid to take action due to Wang Shuang's intimidation, not to mention that they could only learn from the past.  It's only been a few hours.  "General, the Shehu Valley is ahead. As long as you pass the Shehu Valley, you can go directly to the shore of the Wei River. As long as you cross the Wei River, you will be safe." One of Wang Shuang's confidants said.  Wang Shuang nodded. Why didn't he know these situations? It was precisely because of this that he chose to take such a path.  He is very clear mentally. Yang Fu, Yang Qiu, Cheng Yi and others have suffered a loss and will definitely not let him go easily. If he chooses to take the flat road, according to his marching speed, it is very likely that they will be beaten by them.  catch up.  Therefore, he chose to take a more rugged road. Firstly, he could use the mountains and forests to avoid pursuit. Secondly, the terrain was not conducive to the use of cavalry.  The cavalry units of Yang Qiu and Cheng Yi would be of no use. If he took advantage of the geographical location, he could snipe the enemies who came to pursue him.  According to reports from scouts, the pursuers are still more than thirty miles away from them.  Along the way, Wang Shuang also set up many traps and roadblocks, some of which were designed to delay the pursuers and buy himself more time.  Looking at Shehu Valley not far ahead, Wang Shuang let out a long breath.  There seemed to be a sense of relief. For him, as long as he passed Shehu Valley and crossed the Wei River, it would be safe.  On the other side of the Weishui River, there is the place where Ma Gang's rangers often patrol. There is only this last step left to take.  Wang Shuang looked back at the exhausted army and said to the group: "The Shehu Valley is ahead. As long as we pass through the Shehu Valley and cross the Wei River. Once we reach the other side of the river, we will be safe. Everyone, please work harder. We must  We crossed the Wei River at dusk today and arrived at the other side. I¡¯ll treat you to delicious food and spicy drinks!¡± After hearing this, the soldiers no longer felt as excited as before and were just forcing themselves to smile, even though the journey to Shehu Valley was not long.  However, the road is narrow and difficult to walk. It is estimated that it will not be possible to get out of this valley within two hours.  Shehu Valley was originally just an unnamed valley full of rocks, when the flying general Li Guang was the governor of Longxi.  Jicheng was under the jurisdiction of Longxi County at that time. Li Guang was stationed on the shore of the Weishui River to prevent the Huns from invading. The Huns were afraid of Li Guang's name and did not dare to invade here, so Li Guang and others had nothing else to do here except training.  Li Guang felt that he was too busy, so he rode out of the military camp alone.  When he went hunting in the mountains, he came across a tiger causing trouble, so he shot it. Later generations named this valley after the word "shooting tiger".  Because it is very close to the shore of the Wei River, and the terrain is rugged and lush in the summer, it is easy to ambush soldiers and horses. Li Guang moved his army into the valley and reopened it, turning it into a place where troops can be stationed.  The valley served as a barrier against the Huns.  From then on, Shehu Valley began to appear in history books and became an important military battleground in Longyou.  "General, there shouldn't be any ambush in Shehu Valley, right?" Wang Shuang's personal guard asked cautiously.  Wang Shuang glanced at the depressed Shehu Valley in front of him, waved his hand and said: "If it were summer now, I would never choose to take this road, because at that time the trees were so strong that I couldn't see the reality in the valley. But look now, except for some  What else is there outside the dead branches? If there are hidden soldiers inside, they will be seen at a glance! Besides, how could the enemy come here after us, even if Yang Fu has some wisdom?  You would have thought that I would abandon the flat road and take such a rugged path." After hearing what Wang Shuang said, the soldier felt that this was the truth and stopped asking any more questions.  However, for the sake of safety, the soldiers suggested that Wang Shuang send scouts to investigate the valley so that they could respond in time if something happened.  Wang Shuang agreed to the suggestion of his soldiers and sent two scouts.??Go to Shehu Valley to investigate, while they stay there and wait.  About a quarter of an hour later, the two scouts came back and came to Wang Shuang. They told Wang Shuang everything they saw. Everything in Shehu Valley was normal and nothing unusual was found. They could pass with confidence.  With this, Wang Shuang no longer had any worries. He gave the order and drove his horse forward. He himself walked at the front of the team without any defense.  The seemingly peaceful Shehu Valley lurks murderous intent. Wang Shuang's every word, every move, is seen by the people ambush here.  On the rock walls on both sides of Shehu Valley, pairs of dark eyes were watching the unsuspecting Wang Shuang's people through small gaps one after another.  All this is just as Yang Fu guessed. Wang Shuang is walking step by step into the ambush circle he planned. This time, no matter how powerful Wang Shuang is, he will not be able to escape.  Just yesterday, Yang Fu and others arrived at Shehu Valley one day earlier than Wang Shuang. At that time, Yang Fu fully expected to ambush heavy troops here and try to annihilate Wang Shuang and others in one fell swoop. However, after he observed the scene, he discovered that Shehu Valley  It wasn't as easy to ambush as he thought.  At this moment, the trees have not yet sprouted buds, and there are no leaves as cover. There are only bare trunks, and even a bird sitting on it can be clearly seen.  It is simply a dream to ambush a large number of troops here without being discovered by Wang Shuang and others.  For this reason, Yang Fu changed his strategy, and after much thought, he decided to use the art of escaping from the ground.  Yang Fu ordered people to dig a secret passage on both sides of Shehu Valley, allowing five hundred powerful crossbowmen to hide in it. The rest of them decorated the outside and sealed the secret passage to ensure that it was exactly the same as the surrounding environment.  In this way, he could avoid Wang Shuangjun's scout investigation.  Yang Fu, Yang Qiu, Cheng Yi and others stayed away from this place and hid secretly. As long as there was a war in Shehu Valley, they would immediately kill Wang Shuang from all directions and surround Wang Shuang in Shehu Valley.  " Moreover, Yang Fu has been using tricks. He sent some people to pretend to be a large army to track Wang Shuang, always keeping a distance of thirty miles, making Wang Shuang and others mistakenly think that it was the real army and ignore the others.  Now, Wang Shuang is leading his army step by step into the land of death. The further they go, the closer death is to them.  On the dead branches on both sides of the Shehu Valley, a group of crows stayed there. Their eyes were staring at the group of people heading towards death, and they chirped once or twice from time to time, as if they were waiting for something.  Suddenly, bursts of arrows shot out from both sides of the road like a violent storm. The sudden situation caught Wang Shuang and everyone else by surprise. Before they had time to dodge, the sharp arrows were all shot towards where Wang Shuang was.  When Wang Shuang came over, he didn't even have time to shout. He and his horse were shot down in Shehu Valley. More than ten soldiers died with him.  "The enemy is attacking! There is an ambush! There is an ambush! Retreat! Retreat!" Someone shouted loudly. After seeing Wang Shuang lying in a pool of blood, he was extremely frightened.  With this shout, the whole Shehu Valley became lively. As soon as Wang Shuang died, the army was leaderless. The soldiers retreated one after another, scrambling to escape, but the road was only so narrow, and it became congested for a while.  , instead blocking the entire road.  At this moment, the sound of war drums suddenly sounded, and shouts of killing were heard from all directions that shocked the world. Countless enemy troops rushed out and surrounded the place with lightning speed.  At the same time, arrows as dense as a torrential rain were shot from all directions. Wang Shuang's army in Shehu Valley were shot dead, including men and horses. They screamed and blood flowed like rivers.  The exhausted Wang Shuang's army had completely lost the ability to resist. They allowed the enemy to slaughter them at will. They could not rush out and faced them with only a dead end.  Yang Fu climbed up a high slope and looked at the screaming soldiers in Shehu Valley. He felt sad in his heart. Wang Shuang was dead, and Wang Shuang's men had nothing to fear.  He had already issued an order to kill all of Wang Shuang's men without leaving any one behind, and no prisoners were allowed.  Poor thousands of soldiers, due to Yang Fu's plan, were buried in Shehu Valley along with Wang Shuang.  An hour later, the battle was over. None of the thousands of soldiers had left. They all died in Shehu Valley. Bodies scattered across the passage blocked the entire passage. The blood gathered together and gradually formed a large swamp, covering the entire earth.  A layer of red makeup!  "Wang Shuang is dead, it's Ma Gang's turn next!" Yang Qiu said.  Yang Fu nodded and said: "However, it is much more difficult to deal with Ma Gang than to deal with Wang Shuang. After all, Ma Gang is a veteran who has experienced many battles and is both civil and military. We need to take a long-term approach." "The arrow is here."  stringI have to send it.  Even if it is more difficult than climbing to heaven, we must kill Ma Gang, otherwise, we will die without a burial place!  Cheng Yi said. Yang Qiu glanced at the gold ingots scattered on the road and asked, "There is no need to rush into Ma Gang's matter. Now that Wang Shuang has been eliminated, what are you going to do with this batch of gold and silver jewelry?"  "(To be continued.)
