Longxi, as the name suggests, is located to the west of Longshan.The private army raised by the empress disguised themselves as villagers and scattered all over the mountains and wilderness of Longxi.Hundreds of miles to the east of Longxi, is the capital Chang'an.If the Beihai rebels in the northeast move south and attack Chang'an, this pro-army can take advantage of Longshan to kill with lightning speed, intercept the enemy in half a way, and take it by surprise.In the south of Longxi, there is also a mountain range, called Wushan, compared with Longshan, it is only a small mound at best, and it is not a steep terrain.In the early years, when the Spring and Autumn Period was turbulent and chaotic, Wushan was the stronghold of a gang of bandits, who camped here and robbed houses.After the Northern Tang Dynasty swept through the Six Kingdoms, this group of bandits was exterminated, and the Wushan Mountain was abandoned.After the situation stabilized, due to the troubles, the common people were reluctant to live in Wushan, and even the Longxi people who went to the south still had a shadow in their hearts and did not want to pass by here.Therefore, no one knew that two months ago, a well-trained guard had infiltrated Wushan, about three or four thousand people, and had settled in the former bandit camp.This guard could not hide all day, except for a few cronies who purchased supplies, almost no one showed up and went down the mountain, and the intention was obscure.Their leader was a middle-aged man as fat as a pig named Gao Zhan.It is unimaginable that the Yong King, who enjoyed all the fine clothes and food in the capital, will now fall into the grass and hide in the old bandits' lair.At the beginning, as soon as Gao Zhan escaped from the capital, Ren Zhen bloodied the courtiers, causing the empress to panic.In desperation, she adopted Yuan Benxi's suggestion and blamed Gao Zhan for the murder, claiming that he was a liebreaker to confuse the public and disturb the people's hearts.After Gao Zhan received the secret report from the DPRK and China, he immediately notified Nanxi Mountain, leaving only some tea farmers, and most of the dead soldiers who had been raised quickly evacuated and followed him to this Wushan Mountain for refuge.Although it was a hasty move, Gao Zhan acted carefully and calmly, and was by no means as stupid as he acted to the world, and he chose Wushan to settle down, which had his own intentions.In order to prevent accidents, he secretly communicated with his hometown in Beihai, maintained close contact, and had already guessed the whereabouts of the empress's private army according to clues.Longxi is close to the capital, which is of great strategic significance, and it is very likely that the pro-army is lurking here.Therefore, seeing that Beihai was about to take advantage of the chaos and the big war was coming, he did not lead the dead soldiers to flee to Beihai, but came to the edge of Longxi, hid behind the pro-army, and waited patiently for the fighters.His keen sense of smell told him that Wushan, a small place that seemed inconspicuous, would definitely break out in the future, which would be enough to affect the overall situation.Not long ago, after the main force of the imperial court went south, Beihai took the initiative to send a messenger, telling him that there would be a strange army going north, joining him to join him, and sneak attack and exterminate the empress's private army.The soldiers and horses mentioned by the messenger were the Youzhou guards led by Wang Ji.According to Wang Ji's latest military report, they are about to arrive in Wushan.After confirming the time, Gao Zhan's father and son did not dare to delay, and immediately ordered their subordinates to pack their bags, load the grain and grass that had been prepared for Wang Ji in advance, and prepare to attack together.At this time, they were packed up and were lurking in the dense forests in the mountains, waiting for Wang Ji's arrival.After months of hard work, the son of the world Gao Ji has lost a lot of weight, but his father's fat has not lost at all, but he has become richer.Gao Ji leaned under a big tree, holding a straw pole in his mouth, and his eyes were staring at the road under the mountain in the distance, "Dad, I still think this thing is unreliable" Yongwang Gao Zhan took a hat, leaned against the side and closed his eyes to recuperate, and said leisurely: "It's not you who will do it later, you can just worry about these idleness, and be your young master in peace" Gao Ji heard this, glanced at the fat on his father's chin, and was a little uneasy, "With our people, we can really fight them Wang Ji didn't say it, they have 50,000 elite soldiers" Gao Zhan's expression was not shocked, replied: "How can 50,000 capture the thief and capture the king first, as long as I make a move and kill Lou He's kid, the army's morale will be dissipated immediately, who will dare to be our enemy" Listening to the words of this father and son, it is true to merge with those 50,000 people, but it is not to listen to Lou He and Wang Ji, but to replace them and annex them in one bite.From this point of view, they are hiding here to ambush Wang Ji's department.Goji smiled, "That's right."
Hugh said that Lou He Wang Ji is a generation, even if it is eight" Before he finished speaking, Gao Zhan suddenly opened his eyes and glared fiercely.Gao Ji understood what he meant, and sighed: "We have been under house arrest in Chang'an, and we have been pretending to be stupid and pretending to be our grandson, and we have not been able to save the family fund. ”Gao Zhan did not take refuge in Beihai, which is a very wise move.Over the years, he has been detained in the capital and unable to control the ancestral land of Beihai, although they are all surnamed Gao and are all orthodox royal blood, but to put it bluntly, he can only be regarded as an ally, he is not the master of Beihai.If he goes to Beihai for refuge, he will belong to the fence of the host, and act according to the face of the person, at most he will be regarded as a banner calling for military warfare, and it is impossible to gain real power.When you think about it, it's actually no different from being in the capital.He has ambitions in his chest and covets the world, how can he be willing to bow down and be a vassal, so he hides here, planning to take Wang Ji's soldiers and horses first, as the first step to accumulate strength.Seeing his son's depressed face, he patted his shoulder and encouraged: "I've survived so many years, what else is there to be afraid of, I'm here, that's enough" He smiled slightly, his eyes were unruly, revealing strong confidence, and he was like two people before.Suddenly, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and he got up and stared at the north, as if he were facing a great enemy.Seeing his fierce reaction, Gao Ji couldn't help asking: "What's wrong" Gao Zhan's eyes narrowed into a line, and his expression changed, "There are soldiers and horses coming from the north. ”With his current realm, his perception is very powerful, and he can capture the fluctuations of qi from miles away, so he can naturally find that the breath is rushing towards him.Gao Ji was shocked, and hurriedly got up, "Could it be that the pro-army of the Wu clan is aware of it from the north and has come to encircle and suppress us" Now at this time, there is a shortage of major generals in the Northern Tang Dynasty, and there are soldiers and horses from the north, and it is very likely that the pro-army is dispatched.Gao Ji was frightened all day long, and it was inevitable that he would think that the other party was coming at him.Gao Zhan continued to perceive, his expression became more and more solemn, "Let the brothers hide, no one is allowed to show their faces without my orders" He hid in the shadows, it was easy to sense the army, and the other party probably had someone to perceive here, once they were exposed, the battle was inevitable.With the little force at hand, he saw no hope of victory.After Gao Ji passed the military order, he asked nervously: "How about whose soldiers and horses" Gao Zhan frowned, felt for a moment, and couldn't help but gasp, "How could it be him" He couldn't believe that Xiao Tie Umbrella, who was sitting in the capital, would lead the troops here.The iron umbrella is out of the horse, if it really comes at him, then it will be a big trouble.Gao Ji didn't know why, so he jumped to his feet in a hurry.After Gao Zhan confirmed that his perception was correct, he sat back on the stone, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, "Could it be that we have exposed the impossibility?"
he was puzzled.Gao Ji fidgeted, like a frightened bird, looked at his father anxiously, and urged: "What should I do, you hurry up and speak, when the enemy army comes, we can't run if we want to" There are tens of thousands of pro-army in Longxi, and their father and son only have 3,000 dead soldiers, which is not enough for the other party to stuff their teeth, let alone fight hard.Once the two sides meet, they have no choice but to flee for their lives.Gao Zhan sat there, without any intention of escaping, and was still hesitating, "If you want to arrest us, you only need to send out the pro-army, there is no need to drive Xiao Tie's umbrella to come in person."
Can he let the capital and women not guard, do I have such a big face" He vaguely felt that something was unusual."
No, it was supposed to be an accident.If the pro-army goes south to fight, it must pass through Wushan, and it is likely that he is just passing by.And our location is hidden, and there is some distance from the main road, as long as we don't mess around, they won't be noticed. ”He was in danger, analyzed the possibilities, and quickly decided not to move.At this time, if you retreat, it will be easier to expose your tracks and lead Xiao Iron Umbrella to chase and kill.He stroked his sparse beard, thinking about the joints, his hand suddenly trembled, and a cold light bloomed in his pupils."
Oh no, Wang Ji is also coming":
