    Zhao Kuangyin took the lead and kicked open the southern temple door. While he was fully on guard against the enemy, he was surprised to find that there was no one in the courtyard and immediately ordered the search to disperse.  "There is a small door here." One of the elites searching the east wall shouted loudly, jumping out first, but his horrifying screams were heard shortly after.  Zhao Kuangyin shouted to everyone not to move, and rushed over. After careful inspection, he found that the steps under the small door had been stepped on by his brother just now. At this time, his screams also stopped. Zhao Kuangyin leaned down and touched it, and found that the steps were broken.  It looks like a stone, but it's actually just a thin wooden board painted with black ash.  Zhao Kuangyin threw a torch and found that it had been falling for more than ten times before it finally reached the end. Knowing that the brother who had just fallen must be dead, he immediately picked up the stone of the wall with his hands and carefully moved it to the south side of the outside of the wall.  On the stone, I found a hidden path extending southward from behind the tree.  "One team will follow me, and the other team will follow General Zheng, and search southward at the same time." Zhao Kuangyin immediately gave a loud order and took the lead in exploring forward along the trail.  After the team had advanced a few steps in the search, Zhao Kuangyin heard another scream coming from a few steps to the right. He quickly ran over to take a look, and found that Zheng En and his fellow pathfinders at the front had missed the step and fell into a wide gap.  His knees were smashed into pieces, and he was rolling on the ground in pain.  Zhao Kuangyin watched a dozen fire spots gradually disappearing in the distance to the south. He shook his head angrily, turned around and shouted: "If the secret attack fails, we will attack openly. General Zheng, you return to camp immediately and take five thousand brothers to detour to Shenshan Temple."  , I¡¯ll wait for you at the front.¡± Zheng En just responded and was about to turn around when a group of people suddenly heard emergency gongs ringing from all over the southern mountains. The gongs soon became loud in many places.  A fire was lit, as if burning something.  Zhao Kuangyin sighed softly: "I didn't expect the enemy to withdraw so resolutely. It is estimated that all the Tang soldiers in front of Qingliu Pass and on the mountain will soon withdraw into the pass. We have no choice but to attack Qingliu Pass." Zheng En shouted angrily: "There was no such thing before.  I've heard that Xiao Tang soldiers are so powerful, why is this poor place as difficult as Shouzhou?" Li Cheng came over and interjected in a low voice: "Maybe there are Lin Feng's special soldiers here." Zhao Kuangyin nodded:  "It is very possible that Lin Feng has previously reported that Lin Feng has intensively trained a small number of elites from each army. There should be such elites among the enemies we are facing now. They used Liao Liao's hand-made formations to block our army for two days, and successfully prevented them.  He was a talented person who warned us of our sneak attack." Looking at the sky in the east, there was already a hint of light. Zhao Kuangyin straightened his clothes, sat on a clean stone, waved his hand and said, "Don't chase me, I'm just afraid of the situation ahead.  There are a lot of traps, let¡¯s set out at dawn.¡± Except for Zheng En, who left in a hurry, a group of people returned to the temple, released the monk who was under house arrest in a wing, found grain and water, and began to clean up the scene and start a stove.  Cook.  However, what Zhao Kuangyin and the others didn't know was that Wu Qing, a special warrior they mentioned in their mouths, once again quarreled with Huangfu Hui, the envoy to the north and Fenghua Jiedushi in Qingliu Pass.  The reason for the quarrel was that when Huangfuhui saw Wu Qing leading his men back to the pass safely without any injuries, he couldn't help but sarcastically said: "I thought there would be a bloody battle, and was about to send people to support." Wu Qing was really honest.  He was angry, but he and Huangfu Hui were already at odds with each other, so he immediately straightened his neck and shouted back: "The main purpose of a warrior is to protect yourself and kill the enemy, rather than to show off your strength and risk death." Huangfu Hui's beard  He immediately stood up and said angrily: "Afraid of death is just afraid of death. What nonsense." Wu Qing immediately pointed in the direction of Shenshan Temple, then pointed outside the pass, and retorted loudly: "If you had listened to Wu's suggestion earlier,  By deploying one to two thousand elite troops at Shenshan Temple and Guanqian in advance, we will definitely be able to severely damage the attackers tonight, and even counterattack the enemy camp. " Huangfuhui suddenly became angry. This was to accuse himself of a command error, and he immediately took pictures.  He touched the table, pointed his halberd at Wu Qing and was about to curse.  Governor Yao Feng hurried over and hugged the old general, whispering a few words in his ear. The old general snorted angrily and went to the side to sulk.  Yao Feng walked up to Wu Qing and proposed to allocate 500 troops to him to garrison the mountain road behind the pass to guard against enemy detours and sneak attacks.  Wu Qing looked troubled, took a long breath, walked to the map, pointed to a peak in Kanto and said: "The general has previously surveyed this area, south of the Shenshan Temple. This is the only place we can rely on, so I just left it."  We have ten people to guard temporarily. I will take my brothers there now. I just hope that for the sake of the safety of Qingliuguan and Chuzhou, Master Yao will send elite soldiers to rescue when he hears our call for help. " Wu Qing was also furious.  Well, some time ago, although the army sent hundreds of troops to itself, the overall quality wasIt's not high, and he has the attitude of generals who have crooked melons and bad dates. If it weren't for this reason, he wouldn't have given up the dangerous place of Shenshan Temple so easily just now.  Yao Feng agreed without hesitation.  Wu Qing cupped his fists towards Yao Feng and lowered his voice and begged: "General Yao, please forgive me for talking too much. Those who are facing our army are all elites of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The leaders are not simple. They must not be underestimated. General, please be more careful."  General Huangfu is advised not to act on his own initiative, just stick to Qingliu Pass. As long as Qingliu Pass and Chuzhou are not lost, and Shouzhou is not lost, we will not lose the battle of Huainan." Yao Feng nodded cautiously, with a solemn look on his face. He was at Qingliu Pass.  There are no less than 50,000 garrison troops in Guan and Chuzhou, and the enemy troops in Guan are no more than 30,000. It is winter again. The weather, location, and people are all ready. As long as we follow the requirements of the King of Qi, we will not go wrong. However,  , will the violent and arrogant old general Huangfu listen to him?  Thinking of this, Yao Feng immediately made up his mind to urgently report the current battle situation at Qingliu Pass to King Qi.  It was getting bright soon. The army of the Zhou Dynasty left the camp and pushed forward. They lined up in front and waited. The rear leveled the trenches and stone walls with all their strength, and transported large and small stones to Qingliu Pass 200 meters away. Before noon, the Zhou army was already at the Qingliu Pass.  A high and thick stone wall was built in front of the pass, leaving a door-shaped passage in the middle.  Huangfu Hui and Yao Feng stood on the Guan Tower and looked at Zhou Jun's actions in confusion.  However, what they didn¡¯t know was that on the top of the mountain near Guandong, Wu Qing and others were already locked in a bitter battle.  The place Wu Qing is guarding is a protruding place on the top of the mountain. From a distance, it looks like a person holding an empty basket. The locals call it Baolan Village. It is the only place to pass through the top of the mountain to Shenshan Temple.  Wu Qing and the others were mainly guarding the position of the basket at the northern end of Baolan Village. There was only a stone path that could accommodate two people walking up at the same time, making it an easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack place.  From the dawn of dawn, Zhao Kuangyin had already led the elite raiders to the front of Baolan Village. Instead of attacking by force, he sent Li Cheng and others to explore the way, while he led a group of people to start cutting wood to make javelins, Changyu and  Wooden shield.  Near noon, Li Cheng, who was exploring the road, replied, and found that there were sheep intestine trails on the west side of the mountain.  Zhao Kuangyin did not hesitate and immediately ordered an attack.  More than 500 raiding soldiers had a clear division of labor. Three rows of soldiers came forward in turns, throwing simple javelins and spears without interruption, and successfully suppressed Wu Qing and others until they could not lift their heads. Zhao Kuangyin and a brother worked together to carry the soldiers from the Shenshan Temple.  The thick wooden boards that were removed rushed up the stone path first, and the first wave fell on the stone basket.  Wu Qing successfully hacked Zhao Kuangyin's companion to death, but was knocked back by Zhao Kuangyin's steel knife. He immediately fought back and fought with Zhao Kuangyin.  But Zhao Kuangyin was too brave. When fighting against Wu Qing, he would often drag down the sword and knock down the Southern Tang soldiers around him. He could defeat more than ten soldiers by himself, and he quickly covered the other brothers and rushed to the basket.  Wu Qing had no choice but to rely on the simple stone formation he had built before and retreat step by step. At the same time, he urgently ordered drums to be beaten for help.  The sound of the drums was rapid, seeming to set off waves of pine waves in the pine forest, and quickly spread to Qingliuguan.  Just as Wu Qing came and rushed forward to fight Zhao Kuangyin again, a soldier ran from behind, grabbed him, and shouted anxiously: "Wu Duwei, the news tree below has fallen." Wu Qing was frightened and rushed to the stone.  Cliff edge.
