"He is the bandit leader in the southern Luliang area, named Feinong."

Sima Yi was stunned, then said in anger: "Since he is the bandit leader, why not arrest him?"

The mule man leader sighed and said, "The former county magistrate once captured the three bandit leaders, nicknamed Baidao, and killed him in the street. Three days later, including the county magistrate, all of his family, young and old, were killed, and forty-seven heads were hung on the gate of the county town. At this time, Prime Minister Cao was also furious and ordered the suppression of bandits, but in the end he was left alone. From then on, no one dared to offend the bandits in Nanluliang. It was common for them to come to Jiahu Fort, and everyone could only pretend not to see them. If he provoked him, Jiahu Fort would be blood-scrapped tomorrow."

Sima Yi snorted heavily after a while, "He just looked at us for a while. Could it be that he wanted to attack us?"

The team leader said worriedly: "This is exactly what I am worried about. Recently, it is said that war with the Huns will begin. There are many fewer merchants going north and their business is also very depressed. If such a huge team comes, there will be a hundred people in the Everbright box. How could they not be moved? I am very worried that something will happen on the road tomorrow."

Sima Yi patted his shoulder and smiled and said, "Don't worry! The bandits who can move us have nothing to do."

That being said, the leader was making a living in this area. If something happened, no matter which side wins, they would not have any good results. He wanted to say no, but he couldn't say that. It was difficult for bandits to mess with, but these guests were also difficult for mess with. He was extremely anxious and asked Fei Nong to just pass by.

Shique Ridge stretches for nearly a hundred miles and is also a branch of Luliang Mountain. It has mountains and many valleys. Many valleys are deep and steep, and rarely visited all year round. There are also many mountain gaps that can cross the Luliang Mountain and reach Xihe County on the other side.

At night, several horse riders were galloping on the rugged mountain road. They knew every grass and tree on the mountain road. Although the night was dark and the mountain road was bumpy, they could gallop on horseback and walk on flat ground. Under the faint moonlight, they saw that the person in the head was about forty years old and had a long scar on his face, which made him look particularly ferocious under the moonlight. This person was the bandit leader Feinong, who rushed all the way from Jahu Fort.

They rushed into the deep mountains and went directly into a canyon. As soon as they reached the entrance of the canyon, a whistle shot past their heads. Feinong quickly tied the reins, turned over and dismounted, and waited in place. At this time, several sentries in armor walked out of the woods. Feinong hurriedly bowed to the leading officer and said, "Please report to the general, we have found the target."

The head officer waved his hand and several soldiers led Feinong to the valley. They came to a huge tree, and there was a man standing under the tree. The thick shade covered his face, making him look like a looming black shadow.

Fei Nong felt a little upset and knelt down on one knee and said, "Fe Nong meets the general!"

"Did you find the target?"

"Report to the general, the villain discovered the target. At dusk today, they moved into Jahu Fort. They should set out tomorrow morning and arrive here before dark tomorrow at the latest."

"Very good, but I'm not familiar with this area and need your help. I'll bring all your subordinates tomorrow!"

Although Fei Nong was reluctant, he did not dare to say half of the word "no", so he had to hold his fist and said, "The villain obeys the order!"

"Go! I'll see your people coming tomorrow before noon."

"yes!"

Fei Nong stood up and left. After a while, the black shadow coldly ordered: "I inform the people below to have a good rest tonight and work hard tomorrow!"

As soon as the next day, Sima Yi and his party left Jiahu Fort and continued north along the rugged mountain road. Perhaps because there were too many people walking, the mountain road was not difficult to walk. There was a section of the road quite flat, with dense shade around and strange rocks on both sides. From time to time, owls made huge crys. The morning mist covered the mountains, making the mountain road feel gloomy and mysterious.

There were no pedestrians on the mountain road. They walked for nearly an hour and saw no other pedestrians except them. But it is no wonder that they were the first team to set off in Jahu Fort. At this time, pedestrians could not appear opposite each other, and no one would spend the night in the mountains.

Sima Yi looked quite serious. He was still considering that he met the bandit leader last night. Before leaving, the shopkeeper also reminded him that if he met a bandit, sacrificing his wealth and saving his life was the way to survive. In addition, if he led the team last night, it seemed that they would inevitably be attacked by bandits today.

Although Sima Yi did not take the bandits and bandits to heart, he was always cautious and did not want to be too careless. He waved his hand and called the mule driver's team leader over. Sima Yi asked again: "Tell me how many of these bandits are there, what is the background?"

The leader did not sleep well all night, and was uneasy in his heart. He hurriedly said, "When I say to the envoy, I heard that these bandits were originally the Yellow Turban Army in Hebei. After being defeated by the officers and soldiers, they rushed into Bingzhou, ruined several counties, and were surrounded by officers and soldiers, so they hid in Luliang Mountain. From then on, they became bandits. The entire Southern Luliang was their territory, with about a thousand people and three leaders. Feinong we saw last night was their chief."

"So it's the Yellow Turban Thief!"

Sima Yi then understood the background of the bandits, and he asked again: "Are these more than a thousand people all Yellow Turban thieves?"

"There are only more than 300 Yellow Turban thieves, and the rest are rascals recruited in Bingzhou. They robbed their families and forced their daughters to rob the people. They were guilty of crimes. Three years ago, Prime Minister Cao sent Yu Jin to lead his army to suppress the bandits. General Yu was very powerful in fighting, and killed them up the mountain, burned their village and rescued many women. However, these bandits fled to Xihe County and were sheltered by the Huns. The bandits were left alone, which was equivalent to the general withdrawing. They swept over and rebuilt the big village, causing harm to all directions, which was even more cruel than before."

Sima Yi was slightly stunned, "Can you go to Xihe County here?"

"There are some canyon secret passages in the mountains that run through Luliang Mountain and can reach Xihe County at the other end. However, few people walk through these passages, and I have never walked through them."

For some reason, Sima Yi had an ominous premonition in his heart. He immediately ordered: "Send the order to protect the guards, don't be careless all the way, and avoid ambushing!"

This time when he was on a mission to Taiyuan, Liu Jing agreed with Sima Yi in advance. Taking the Shanxi Road of Luliang was the sphere of influence of the Xiongnu, and they were easily ambushed by the Xiongnu, so they decided to go to the host road, which was a settlement area of ​​the Han people. The road was flat and he took a boat to the Fen River. Despite this, Liu Jing was still worried that they would encounter bandits and bandits, so he picked out a hundred elite soldiers from the Eagle Strike Army and escorted Sima Yi on an envoy, which was just to prevent it.

Unexpectedly, the Fen River channel was blocked, and they had to cross mountains and ridges and walk more than a hundred miles of mountain roads. As a result, they really encountered bandits and bandits. What made Sima Yi even more worried was that this area had a secret road leading to Xihe County, which made the Huns also possible. Of course, this possibility was very small, but they were not caravans and were responsible for important political tasks. If the Huns got the news, they would definitely intercept them, which made Sima Yi slightly nervous.

They traveled north carefully, but no abnormalities occurred. As the day was about to pass, the time gradually came, and even the mule master leader breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Fei Nong still dared not take action. He urged the horse to come to Sima Yi and pointed to a mountain ridge in the distance and smiled: "Did you see that? The white ridge in front is called Yuduling. After crossing that mountain, you will walk out of the mountain area and enter the plain. After walking for more than ten miles, you will be the Jiexiu County Wharf. You can rent a big boat and go directly to Taiyuan, without any problems."

Sima Yi nodded and looked up at the surrounding environment. This area happened to be a canyon, but the valley was wider, about one mile wide on both sides. The road was lush with forests and strange rocks. A little further apart, there were cliffs on both sides, and the cliffs were covered with dense vines. If you were not careful, it would be difficult to find that they were in the valley.

Sima Yi suddenly felt something wrong. If someone wanted to ambush them, this was the best place. He immediately shouted: "Be careful to be ambushed in front!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp arrow shot towards Sima Yi from the woods, but it was slightly off. It passed through Sima Yi's shoulder and shot the leader behind Sima Yi. The muleman leader screamed and turned over and fell off the horse.

The sudden incident surprised the guards and jumped off their horses and held crossbows. Several soldiers reacted very quickly, urging their horses to rush to Sima Yi, raised their giant shields, and surrounded Sima Yi. This time, the leader of the Eagle Strike Army who guarded Sima Yi was a tooth general named He Yan, from Xiangyang, Jingzhou. He has experienced many battles and has made many achievements. In eight years, he has gradually been promoted from a small soldier to a tooth general.

He Yan was experienced and immediately discovered the enemy who was sneaking into Sima Yi. He raised the crossbow and shot it away. With a scream, a man in black fell from a dense tree, with a crossbow arrow inserted on his neck. As the man in black was shot down, the sound of drums in the woods made loud noises, screaming from afar to approach. Several towering trees fell down with a bang, blocking the road ahead.

The dense arrows roared from both sides, and the soldiers had already dismounted, but the war horses they were riding were all shot into arrows. A bunch of war horses neighed in the valley, and more than a hundred war horses fell to the ground and died tragically. The mule stewards were not experienced enough, so they were also shot into arrows and died tragically.

The soldiers were all top-notch horses. They followed them for many years and were intimate with the soldiers. At this time, the soldiers were killed and their hearts were cut. They were full of anger and shot arrows into the woods. Their archery skills were extremely good. As long as the ambushers hiding in the trees showed up, they would be caught by arrows.

In a moment, nearly fifty black-clad archers fell into the arrows. The other ambush archers were so scared that they hid behind the trunks, and did not dare to show off again. The ambush arrows suddenly became sparse.

Although the arrow attack was blocked, the ambushed enemies came from far and near, and they all wore black clothes, with more than a thousand people. The heads were thick-eyed and hawk-eyed. A scarred scar was on the face of a thin horse. It was Feinong, the thief I met at the Jiahu Fort last night. Sima Yi recognized him and said to the leader He Yan: "General He, they are bandits and bandits in this area, be careful!"

He Yan sneered and said, "Don't worry, Shangshu! None of these bandits can survive."

He ordered twenty subordinates to protect Sima Yi and other entourages, and he led the remaining eighty soldiers to line up to fight. They had taken off their robes, exposed the tight armor inside, holding giant shields and spears in their hands, and were ready for battle. The twenty people guarding Sima Yi were divided into two teams, one team of ten, two teams back to back, dealing with bandits who came from both sides of the east and west.

Eighty elite soldiers of the Eagle Strike Army burst out with a shout, and launched an attack on the bandits rushing up like a storm. The five of them were in a team, like more than a dozen sharp short swords, and they killed the bandits, and they rushed over and over, corpses everywhere, sweeping the bandits all the way, and they were unstoppable. In less than a quarter of an hour, more than half of the bandits were killed and injured, but no Han soldiers were injured.

The bandits were so scared that they turned around and wanted to escape, but the Han soldiers had cut off their retreat, leaving them with no way to escape. Many of the surrenders were stabbed to death by the Han soldiers without any mercy. They did not accept anyone's surrender.

An ambush battle turned into a one-sided massacre in the blink of an eye. The bandits cried and screamed, wailed everywhere, and corpses piled up in the valley, and blood flowed on the mountain road.

At this time, the thief Fei Nong was red in his eyes. Although he had not yet forced the Han army into a narrower valley not far away as agreed in advance, he could no longer wait. He raised his horn and blew hard, "Woo-*The horn sounded throughout the valley.
