The water surface of Heye Lake is three or four hundred acres, and it looks vast and misty from a distance. Many wild ducks and birds are playing by the lake, running and flying from time to time, leaving a bunch of ripples on the lake. A large hole has been dug around the lake, and a huge gate temporarily blocks the lake water.

Some people lived by the Heye Lake, who made a living by fishing, but now they have been arrested by the Lin army. One is to prevent them from being used by the Si army, and the other is to prevent any idle people from appearing by the lake, there must be problems, and the Lin army will be able to arrest them immediately.

Zhang Yongchao led three people to dress up as ordinary people to the edge of Heye Lake. The four of them looked at the vast water surface of Heye Lake. It seemed that it would not be possible to shine in a short time if the lake water was shining.

The four of them investigated the woods and walked out without finding any abnormalities. They had no idea that Lin Jun had already put martial law on the lakeside and the danger was gradually approaching.

The four of them looked forward along the embankment, and suddenly a team of Lin soldiers rushed out from a distance from the low-lying area. These Lin soldiers were ambushing by the lake. Captain Lin shouted: "These must be spies from the military, and they are all arrested!"

There were about twenty Lin soldiers, each of whom rushed over with spears. Seeing that the other party was coming in full force and the number of people, Zhang Yongchao said without hesitation: "Retreat quickly!"

The four of them ran away, and the patrol team was reluctant to leave seeing this. However, the three people brought by Zhang Yongchao were all soldiers of the guard company with excellent physical fitness. With no armor and equipment, they ran all the way and immediately left Lin Jun soldiers behind, and the distance between the two sides became farther and farther.

Captain Lin said gasping: "Grandma, you're running so fast, but you can't come here as soon as you want, and leave as you want!"

As Captain Lin said, Lin's army had already set up ambush at several intersections. Seeing four people running quickly and Lin's army was chasing behind, the soldiers who were ambushing the intersection immediately came out to block the road.

There were strong enemies in front and pursuers behind. Zhang Yongchao frowned when he saw this. Could it be that more than 100 jin would be left here today? Because he was disguised as a reconnaissance, he only brought a dagger to defend himself. Zhang Yongchao took out the dagger from his arms and said to the three brothers: "We are from the Military Guard Company, and we can't embarrass the Chief of Staff. Brothers, come with me, fight!"

"Fight!" The three soldiers also drew out the daggers. Without hesitation, the four of them rushed towards Lin Jun who was blocking the road ahead.

There were more than 20 Lin Jun at the intersection. He thought that these four people would surrender obediently, but he did not expect that the four of them would rush over like tigers and rush over regardless of their lives, which made everyone stunned.

In an instant, four people rushed in. The so-called shorter and more dangerous, and the close-fitting battle dagger was extremely beneficial. Lin Jun's spear was almost lost. The soldiers of the guard company were well-trained and had practical moves without dragging them out. Each move was killed at the critical point of Lin Jun.

The soldiers of Lin Jun were cut, their eyes were staring at each other and their hands covered the wound, and blood was still left between their fingers. Some of their hearts were pierced by daggers and immediately turned to the ground without any movement. After a while, Lin Jun was knocked down by more than ten, and the rest of the soldiers retreated in fear. The fierceness of these four people was beyond their expectations. Some shouted loudly: "Reinforcement, come and reinforcement!"

The Lin soldiers chasing behind also chased after him. Zhang Yongchao and the other four were stained with blood. Facing the spears in front of them, the four walked forward without fear, causing more than ten Lin soldiers in front to retreat continuously.

Zhang Yongchao wiped the blood from the dagger with his sleeve. Seeing Lin Jun approaching behind him, he raised his dagger and shouted: "Run!"

The four of them rushed forward quickly, scaring Lin Jun in front of them, threw down his spear and fled in all directions. Zhang Yongchao couldn't help laughing and said, "A group of greedy and fearful of death, let's go!"

The four of them rushed out and finally ran out of the encirclement. However, the pursuers behind began to shoot arrows. Zhang Yongchao was shot on his back, but he did not hurt the vital points. However, another soldier was shot in the bent leg, and one leg immediately lost its function. He knelt on the ground and couldn't run.

The soldier kneeling on the ground was named Xiaowu. Seeing the other three stops, he begged: "Deputy Company Commander, don't worry about me, you guys go!"

Zhang Yongchao said firmly: "No! We will come together, we will go back together!"

Seeing the pursuers in the distance getting closer, Xiao Wu pressed his dagger against his neck and shouted, "If you don't leave, I'll die here immediately!"

"No!" Zhang Yongchao shouted loudly and said, "Xiao Wu, I'll carry you back!"

Seeing that Zhang Yongchao and the others were unwilling to leave, Xiaowu was anxious and said, "Deputy Company Commander, if you carry me, no one can leave. Help me take good care of my parents!"

When Zhang Yongchao heard Xiao Wu say this, he felt something was wrong and immediately went to snatch the dagger in his hand, but he was still a step slower. Xiao Wu scratched the dagger through his neck without hesitation. The snow- bright dagger was immediately stained with blood, and his whole body slowly fell down.

In order to make Zhang Yongchao give up saving people, Xiaowu actually committed suicide, which made Zhang Yongchao feel heartbroken. Zhang Yongchao knelt beside Xiaowu and shouted hysterically: "Xiaowu!"

Lin Jun rushed over in the distance with a clamor. Zhang Yongchao took the dagger in Xiaowu's hand and said, "Xiaowu, 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 entered the mountains and forests on the roadside. With their strong physique and superhuman endurance, they threw the Lin army's pursuit without a trace.

The soldiers on Huju Pass stood neatly in a row, with flags flying on the city walls. Since the war with Linguo, the defense on the Pass has become more intense.

Qian Xiaoxing was walking anxiously at Huju Pass with his hands behind his back, waiting from morning until noon, and had not seen Zhang Yongchao and the others come back. He thought to himself if something might happen. Suddenly, Sima Yiqing had warned him to be neither anxious nor impatient, so he sat back in his seat and slowly calmed down.

After a while, Zhang Yongchao and the other two finally ran back. After Qian Xiaoxing saw it on the city wall, he immediately went down to meet them.

Zhang Yongchao was shot on his back, and his blood had been left. Even if he had good physical condition, his face was pale at this moment. When he saw Qian Xiaoxing, he immediately knelt down and said, "Chief of Staff, Heye Lake has been blocked by the Lin army. We didn't even see the sluice gate and did not complete the reconnaissance mission!"

Qian Xiaoxing saw that the three of them were covered in blood and their clothes were torn, so he reached out to help Zhang Yongchao up and said, "I have been prepared for Lin Jun. It is enough for you to find out this news, which will prevent our army from losing."

Zhang Yongchao looked at Qian Xiaoxing and didn't blame him. He felt even more uncomfortable. He took out Xiao Wu's dagger and said, "On the way to retreat, Xiao Wu was shot by Lin Jun and could not move. In order not to drag us down, he committed suicide with this dagger!"

"Xiao Wu!" Qian Xiaoxing was also very impressed when he heard this name. Xiao Wu always smiled very kindly, but the army was extremely hard-working and serious in training. It was also very sad to lose such an excellent soldier. Thinking of the scene where he committed suicide, his eyes turned red and he said with a sob: "Xiao Wu is a good soldier. I am proud to have a soldier like him!"

As soon as Qian Xiaoxing finished speaking, Zhang Yongchao finally couldn't hold on because of excessive blood loss and running all the way. He fainted and was so fainted that he hurriedly sent him to the military doctor for treatment.

Then Qian Xiaoxing walked towards Sima Yiqing's residence and wanted to tell him the information immediately, but saw Sima Yiqing also walked towards him. After the two met, Qian Xiaoxing said: "Father-in-law, a soldier was sacrificed to find out the situation. Lin Jun was indeed heavily guarding the 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 capable. He thought for a while and said, "It seems that Lianhua Pass can only do it slowly and cannot be too hasty."

A big lake blocked the attack of the Si army. Qian Xiaoxing was really unexpected. No matter how difficult the city was to be attacked, Qian Xiaoxing could come up with a way to break through it, but he really couldn't think of a good countermeasure for this flood for a while.

Qian Xiaoxing said helplessly: "Now you can't break the Lotus Pass, and it will be even more difficult to fight when the Lin army is completed."

"Yes, the losses caused by attacking the pass are huge. You will not fight unless you have to. This virtuous son-in-law should understand that after all, the Hu army attacked the pass of Siguo, but more than 100,000 people died." Sima Yiqing said with a smile.

Qian Xiaoxing replied: "Yes, if I force myself to attack the pass, I will never allow it. Seeing the soldiers die one after another, I can't bear it. Father-in-law, you just said that you were going to do it slowly, can you do anything else?"

"This can only be determined according to the situation. We are not familiar with the terrain here, so Lin Jun has a great advantage. Let's make plans after we figure it out." Sima Yiqing had no choice but to say helplessly.

Qian Xiaoxing said unwillingly: "Will there be other roads that allow us to bypass the Lotus Valley to attack?"

"This is unlikely. There are mountains and dense forests near the Lotus Valley, and it is not easy for even people to get there, let alone the food, grass and supplies used for war." Sima Yiqing denied.

Qian Xiaoxing suddenly felt a lit up in his heart and said, "Father-in-law, there is a story about a war in our hometown, which is called "Openly building a plank road and secretly crossing Chencang. It means that the road is being built in an open place, but secretly taking a detour to attack. I think we can also try it, and it is possible to attack Lin Guoqi if it is unexpectedly unpredictable."

"Well, under the current circumstances, I can only try it out." Sima Yiqing nodded.

Qian Xiaoxing became excited and said, "I will send someone to check the terrain immediately to see if there are mountain roads around me."

In the next few days, Qian Xiaoxing sent a large number of scouts to investigate, hoping to find hidden paths that could bypass Lianhua Pass. However, after the scouts came back, they shook their heads in disappointment. There were few traces in the depths of the mountains and there was no road at all. Even if they were to overcome all obstacles, they would be blocked by mountain streams or cliffs.

Qian Xiaoxing still didn't give up until the last scout came back and there was still no way out for the report, and Qian Xiaoxing had to face this reality.

Although he encountered many difficulties in the past, Qian Xiaoxing could always think of ways to solve them. He never had any helplessness like today. As he thought about it, he suddenly thought of the fortune teller of Zai Shandu. I vaguely remember that everything went smoothly in the past, but he would encounter difficulties in the future. Only by finding a noble person can you survive safely, but the noble person is in Shiguo.
