Huang She's army continued to move forward and entered the lofty mountain range. Compared to the previous official road, it was much more difficult to walk.
The first thing they needed to do was to reopen the road. There were no well-built roads in the mountains, let alone the hundreds of thousands of soldiers marching.
There was no one within a hundred miles. If not for Pang Shiyuan's repeated assurances, Huang She was afraid that he would lose his temper.
"Mr. Shiyuan, how long will it take to reach Jiangzhou?" Now Huang She was about to become a fugitive. His whole body was in tatters. There was no place on his clothes that was intact. They were all torn out by the thorns along the way. Huang She suppressed his anger and asked Pang Shiyuan.
"My Lord, after this place, we will reach the Luo Feng Slope!" Pang Shiyuan said carefully to Huang She.
"Where is the Luo Feng Slope?" Huang She did not know the terrain and asked Pang Shiyuan.
"Fifty miles from the Luo Feng Slope, we will reach the side of Jiangzhou. After another fifty miles, we will cross Jiangzhou. If we advance, we can directly force Chengdu. If we retreat, we can also go to Jiangzhou!" Pang Shiyuan was very patient. How could he not be patient? After crossing the Luo Feng Slope, this nominal master in front of him would have to say goodbye to him.
"Fifty miles!" Fifty miles was not far. They could reach it in a day's time. However, it was not close either. Huang She had stopped riding a warhorse a long time ago because it was too dangerous. There were many cavalrymen with excellent horsemanship who fell into the abyss. Although Huang She wanted to be comfortable, he valued his life more.
Huang She had to walk these fifty miles.
"My Lord, when we reach the Luo Feng Slope, the road will be wider. My Lord can get on the horse!" Pang Shiyuan continued.
If he could get on the horse after reaching the Luo Feng Slope, Huang She could still bear it.
Huang She nodded and continued to move forward.
Huang She followed the army forward. Pang Shiyuan deliberately slowed down and walked behind Huang She.
A junior colonel wearing the uniform of the Jingzhou Army walked up to Pang Shiyuan. The two of them chatted casually as they walked.
"Has the letter been sent out?" Pang Shiyuan asked the officer casually.
'Yes! The young colonel nodded and said, "I have already sent the letter according to the Military Counselor's instructions!"
"Did Lord Zhang not reply?" Pang Shiyuan continued to ask.
"Yes, Lord Zhang. There's no letter, but there's a message. Everything is ready!" the officer said.
A rare smile appeared on Pang Shiyuan's face as he squinted his eyes. Following his gaze, one would know that he was looking at Huang She's back.
Pang Shiyuan nodded and said, "Good. Inform General Zhang Fei at the rear of the army to follow the plan!"
"Yes! This subordinate will take his leave! " The young colonel quickly disappeared into the crowd. He still had a mission to inform Zhang Fei at the rear of the army.
After the young colonel left, the army continued to move forward. They seemed to be getting closer and closer to the Luo Feng Slope.
In the Luo Feng Slope of Jiangzhou, the place that was originally filled with birds and insects suddenly became terrifyingly quiet. It was impossible to tell from the outside that there was something strange about the Luo Feng Slope. However, when the wind blew, some black shadows could be seen vaguely.
"Slap!" A loud slap was heard in the middle of the weeds that were almost as tall as a person.
This was not a slap, but a slap to himself. Because there were many mosquitoes, a person was very dissatisfied and slapped himself in the face, killing a mosquito that was covered in blood.
"What a broken place! How can anyone pass by here! "The person who just killed the mosquito spoke, his tone full of complaints.
What kind of place was this Luo Feng Slope? It was said that a phoenix had once descended, but no one had ever seen it. However, it also brought a kind of reverence to the people of Yizhou, so no one would walk here. It was said that birds did not shit here, but it was definitely desolate and uninhabited.
As for these people who were originally stationed in the city, they could eat hot food and have a place to hide from the rain. However, they were now sent here two days ago. When they were hungry, they could only eat some dry food that was already as hard as a rock. When they were thirsty, they could only drink some dew.
At night, they had to endure the humidity and cold. They had to spend the night here.
All of this was to wait for the Jing Province soldiers who had disappeared without a trace. After waiting for so long, they had already started to complain.
"That's right! What kind of ghost shadow is there! "The comrade on the side also started to complain.
"Stop talking!" A young colonel couldn't stand it anymore. He was afraid that if he was too loud, the general behind him would hear him.
"Hmph, so what if he heard? What right does a defeated general have to command us? In my opinion, General Huang Quan was confused for a moment and was deceived by this person! "
The one at the back was none other than Zhang Ren. The thousand soldiers under him were the thousand elites that Huang Quan had lent to him. Zhang Ren was a refinement realm martial artist, so his ears were very sharp. A martial artist should be able to see all directions and listen to all directions.
However, even if Zhang Ren heard it, he wouldn't say anything.
On the other hand, Zhang Ren's personal guard couldn't help but want to go up and teach Huang Quan's soldiers a lesson.
"Come back, don't ruin the important matter!" Zhang Ren said solemnly. To be honest, Zhang Ren himself was also doubtful. Was what the letter said true? After receiving the letter, Zhang Ren immediately brought a thousand soldiers to the Luofeng Slope to lay in ambush.
Every soldier of Jiang Province didn't have anything else in their hands, not even a war blade. They only had two things in their hands. One was a strong bow, all of them were strong bows that weighed more than 120 jin.
Without a bit of strength, you wouldn't be able to pull it open. Therefore, these people were all strong soldiers under Huang Quan. They also had buckets of arrows.
Other than that, these soldiers didn't even wear armor.
After waiting for more than a day, there was no sign of the enemy at all.
Zhang Ren was also suspicious. If it was fake, then he would have suffered in vain today.
"General, General, someone is coming!" A scout that Zhang Ren had sent out earlier suddenly ran over and shouted at Zhang Ren with a flushed face.
"Someone is coming!" Zhang Ren almost stood up in excitement and calmed his joy.
"Pass down the order, the entire army is to hide. Without my orders, no one is to act rashly!"
"Yes!"
In Zhang Ren's eyes, figures came out of the mountain range and entered the Luo Feng Slope.
"En?" Kuai Yue and Cai Mao's troops were at the front of the army.
The two of them were protected by many generals.
"Phoenix?" Cai Mao looked at the slope. Isn't that the shape of a phoenix? No wonder it's called the Luo Feng Slope.
Looking at the scenery around the Luo Feng Slope, it was natural and unpolluted. If they built a thatched hut here and planted some vegetables, it would really feel like they were living in seclusion.
Kuai Yue obviously didn't have the same mood as Cai Mao.
Luo Feng Slope! The letter also mentioned this place. Therefore, Kuai Yue quickly became vigilant. Even though he knew that he was safe, he still became cautious.
"Yidu, what's wrong?" Cai Mao quickly noticed that something was wrong with Kuai Yue.
Kuai Yue looked around and said to Cai Mao, "Desi, don't you think that something is wrong here?"
"Something is wrong?" Cai Mao looked around again. Other than the trees, there was only straw. The grass was as tall as a person, so there was nothing wrong with it. Wasn't this just the wilderness?
"No, it's too quiet! Desi, don't you think that it's too quiet here? "Kuai Yue continued.
"Quiet?" Cai Mao also frowned. Cai Mao valued profit, but he was also someone who was good at the art of war. The word 'quiet' meant that there were enemies in the army.
"There's no movement from the flowers, birds, insects, and fish. There's no sound from the beasts either!" Cai Mao quickly came to a conclusion.
"Could it be?" Cai Mao's eyes widened. "There's an ambush here?" Cai Mao was about to draw his sword and order his troops to stop moving.
"No!" However, Kuai Yue stopped him. "Brother Desi, the enemy is in the dark while we are in the light. If we stop, the enemy will know about it. If the enemy attacks, our army will be cut in half. We must hurry! We have to rush through here! "
Kuai Yue said too much. If Cai Mao really stopped, then the ambush would be against him.
Cai Mao also looked at the Jing Province Army. Forty thousand of his fifty thousand soldiers had already left. Only ten thousand were left. If he stopped now, his soldiers would be the ones in trouble.
He could only pretend that he did not know. As long as the 10,000 troops left, he would not care who the ambush was.
Regarding that Huang She kid, our General Cai Mao doesn't have the slightest favorable impression. He used his own nephew as a puppet to seize his position.
"Quick, let's go!" Under Cai Mao's orders, the army quickly passed through Luo Feng Hill.
"Eh?" Zhang Ren could not have missed the movements of Cai Mao's army.
"General, has the Jingzhou army already discovered us?" The personal guard beside Zhang Ren asked Zhang Ren.
Zhang Ren also found it strange. If the Jing Province Army had already discovered them, they should have directly sent people up the hill to search. They shouldn't have done this. However, if they hadn't discovered them, why were they moving slowly just now? Why were they moving faster now?
Zhang Ren frowned as he watched the vanguard of the Jingzhou Army walk out of the Fallen Phoenix Slope. When he saw the two flags of Cai Pa, he seemed to understand a little.
They might have been exposed, but the Cai Family and the Mao Family deliberately let them go.
Zhang Ren didn't understand why the Cai Family and the Lao Family would do this. But since things had already reached this point, Zhang Ren had no other choice.
He could only believe in the letter.
"Zhang De, Zhang De, don't let me down!" Zhang Ren muttered to herself.
Soon, the Central Army of the Jingzhou Army also entered Luo Feng Hill.
"Lord, Lord!" Huang She walked to Luo Feng Hill. Behind him, Pang Shiyuan also jogged to catch up with Huang She.
"Mr. Shiyuan, is this the Luo Feng Slope?" Who doesn't love beautiful scenery? Huang She also felt uncomfortable because of the bitter road.
Now, the bitterness was finally over.
"Yes! After here, we will reach Chengdu in another 50 miles! "
"This is really a place with good Feng Shui!" Huang She could not help but sigh. "Mr. Shiyuan, do you think that building an Imperial Mausoleum here will bless the descendants?"
Imperial Mausoleum? Huang She's appetite was really big. It was no wonder. Pang Shiyuan had painted a big pie for Huang She.
It was so big that Huang She had already forgotten who he was.
Long Zhong was right. If he occupied Jing and Yi Provinces, he could plot to conquer the world. If he retreated, he could become an emperor. Now that he had taken Yong 'an County of Yi Province, the Jingzhou Army was advancing triumphantly. If he reached Chengdu in another 50 miles, he could really take over half of Yi Province.
He was still far from becoming an emperor.
"There will be a chance!" Pang Shiyuan did not answer the question.
"Hmm?" Huang She did not care too much. He thought that Pang Shiyuan said that there would be a chance to become an emperor. He could not help but laugh.
"Lord, the road here is much more stable. You can ride a horse!" Pang Shiyuan said to Huang She.
"Haha, I also have the same idea!" After walking for nearly a hundred miles, Huang She had long been tired of walking. His feet were full of blisters.
Since he had arrived at Luo Feng Slope, he should take a good rest.
"Men, bring Milord's horse here!" Pang Shiyuan shouted from the other side.
My horse! This was a good horse. It was not inferior to Red Hare. It was a fine horse. Of course, this horse was not in the hands of Liu Paobai.
When Liu Paobai used this horse, it was already a second-hand horse.
But our General Huang She used it. This horse was given to our Huang She by Liu Biao's subordinate, Zhang Wu.
Zhang Wu wanted to flatter Huang She. After Huang She came to power, he gave Zhang Wu a chance. One of them was Xiu Cheng who attacked Liu Pan.
If Zhang Wu really succeeded, then his contribution would not go unnoticed. Huang She would also reward him. Unfortunately, Zhang Wu did not have this ability.
Instead, he was killed by Xiu Cheng's troops in the chaos.
Huang She naturally did not remember Zhang Wu. In his heart, there was only one horse.
A fine horse comparable to Red Hare. In Huang She's mind, only Huang She was worthy to ride on this horse.
"Lord, please get on the horse!" Pang Shiyuan said to Huang She. The horse was tall and big. Although Huang She was seven feet tall, it was difficult for him to directly get on the horse. (Liu Bei was taller than Huang She!)
Pang Shiyuan directly squatted down and sat under Huang She's feet and shouted, "Lord, please get on the horse!"
"Yes!" Huang She nodded. This Pang Shiyuan was really an important minister. If he took Yi Province, he would be heavily rewarded. Huang She mounted the horse and went toward Luo Feng Slope.
Looking at Huang She's back, Pang Shiyuan could not help but sneer. "Zhang Ren, Zhang Ren, you must not let me down!"
