(Thanks to the dream never completed, bandit horses for their support, thank you!)

Early July of the first year of Guangming.

Yanmen Pass, the throat is full of Jin, the outside is strong and the inside is solidified.

The natural border of the two states of Daishuo was extremely dangerous. It was called the first of the nine barriers in the world and the first of the northern dangers that distinguished the inside and outside. In history before the Middle Ages, it has always been a decisive boundary for distinguishing China and the barbarians. Before the Middle Ages, the Datong Basin outside Yanmen was easily occupied by the northern Hu Di, so the role of the dangerous barrier of Gouzhu Mountain became more and more important. If the Hu people in the north broke through Gouzhu again, they would go straight to the Central Plains.

Since Liu Bang, the Emperor Gaozu of the Western Han Dynasty, was besieged by the Huns in Baidengshan, in the following long years, the Central Plains dynasties have been trusting the north in military defense. Many emperors sent generals to send troops to station Gouzhu, govern the dangers of Yanmen, and block the Hu people in the north. Yanmen Pass has always been a base for the Central Plains dynasty to operate further north and the North Gate. Starting from the late Northern Dynasties, the Turks dominated the northern border, and every time they sent troops over Gouzhu to invade the south, the Northern Qi, Sui, and Tang suffered from it. Emperor Yang of Sui was once besieged by Yanmen. At the beginning of the founding of the Li Tang Dynasty, two generations of emperors were forced to pay tribute to the Turks.

After the Tang Dynasty became powerful, the Turks were finally destroyed. After that, there were no more powerful tribes on the grassland. Especially after the Uighurs who had always had friendly relations with the Tang Dynasty, the entire Yinshan line was all Hu tribes who had joined the Tang Dynasty. However, after the middle Tang Dynasty, the late Tang Dynasty gradually weakened, and the place in Yanmen Pass was owned by the Tang Dynasty, but in fact it gradually became a place controlled by various tribes.

Under the sky of Yanmen Pass, the undulating mountains are almost undulating, which makes people feel a silent desolation.

Yanwei, this Shangxiong Town of the Pass, is located on the dangerous Gouzhu Mountain. Gouzhu Mountain is twenty-five miles west of Daizhou. It is called Xixing Mountain Xing, also known as Yanmen Mountain. Gouzhu is named after the shape of the mountain, Gouzhu water flows through the water. It is also called Xingling, which is south of Yanmen, called Xingnan, and north of it is called Xingbei.

The "Nine Pass Respecting First Pass" is surrounded by the mountain and is lying high above Gouzhu Mountain. It is one of the main central passages for geese to go south and return to the north. There are two gates in the east and west, all of which are made of huge bricks, passing through the geese through the clouds, and are majestic. The gates are carved with two plaques "natural danger" and "guarding place". There are city towers on the east and west gates, which are towering in the air, outside the east gate. A monument is built for Li Mu, the general of Zhao State.

"The Prefect of Yanmen" by the poet Li He of this dynasty once wrote about the heroic momentum of the heroic pass: "Black clouds press down on the city and the city is about to be destroyed, and the armor light is towards the sun and golden scales are blooming. The horns are filled with autumn colors, and the rouge is filled with purple nights. Half a roll of red flags are facing Yishui, and the frost is heavy and the drums are not rising. I can report to you the meaning of the golden platform, and I will carry the jade dragon to die for you."

The peaks here are tall and the terrain is dangerous. After the Yanmen Pass was built, there was a momentum of "one man should be the pass, and ten thousand men should not open". Starting from King Wuling of Zhao during the Warring States Period, this place has been regarded as a strategic location throughout the ages. Zhao established Yanmen County, and since then, Yanmen is mostly used as a county, with a road and a county garrison. The name of Yanmen Pass began in the early Tang Dynasty. Due to the rise of the Turkic northern region, there were frequent internal offensives. The Tang garrison troops stationed in Yanmen Mountain, set up a pass city at the commanding height of Tiewomen, and guarded the garrison soldiers.

However, at this time, this powerful city was controlled by the Shatu people.

At this time, the north of Yanmen Mountains, Cheng Huaiyi, the left-behind general of Yanmen, ultimately did not hold on to the order that Li Keyong had not been able to hold on. Amid the requests from many subordinates, all Yanmen soldiers, 10,000 cavalry, 10,000 cavalry, and 50,000 new recruits of Fan Han from the northern border areas, and rushed out of Yanmen Pass and headed north, preparing to recover Shuozhou in one fell swoop. He headed to Yunzhou to meet with the Hu cavalry brought by Shi Yan.

From the moment they left Yanmen Pass, Zhang Zimian had already stared at them.

Zhang Zimian was like a smart hunter. When he saw the prey coming out of the cave, he did not attack immediately. He sent a scout to hang from behind and reported their movements at any time. He continued to lead his troops to lurk in Jieshi Valley under the Great Wall, allowing Shatuo's army to swagger north not far away.

He did not plan to start a war here. It is too close to Yanmen Pass. Once this place is used as a battlefield, the Shatu people are likely to escape back to the cave immediately. If the prey hides back to the cave, it will be troublesome to lure them out. Therefore, Zhang Zimian's plan is very simple and clear. Let the Shatu people continue north first. When they are not far from Yanmen Pass, it is also the time when they are most relaxed and paralyzed, that will he really launch a fatal blow.

After the Shatuo people marched northward with careful marching for three days, the vanguard of the army arrived at Shuozhou City. Shuozhou City was already an empty city and destroyed in a fire. After hearing the news, Cheng Huaiyi completely relaxed. The Qin army burned Shuozhou, which showed that they had indeed left. Along the way, they had seen too many burnt villages and towns and villages, and some people they met also said that they had seen the army heading north.

"Camp on the spot!"

Shuozhou City had been burned down and could not be stationed, so Cheng Huaiyi ordered the vanguard cavalry to be stationed in Shuozhou City, while his central army camp and the 50,000 civilians behind were stationed in Langya Village, twenty miles southeast of Shuozhou City.

Langya City is located twenty miles southeast of Shuozhou City, on the east bank of Huishui River, a tributary of the upper reaches of the Sanggan River. It is located on an open plain and surrounded by river water. There is also a dense forest here for several miles, which is a great place to camp in the hot summer.

July 8th, night.

One and a half moon come out from the west in the first half of the night, and half of the moon faces west. This moon phase is also called the crescent moon.

The moonlight tonight was a bit strange. Half of the moonlight was actually glowing with a hint of red light, and the smoke was hazy on the fields and trees on both sides of the Grayshui River.

In the middle of the night, an old man from the fifty-year-old Han from Daizhou who was forcibly recruited was lying in the camp and looking up at Xian Hongyue. He couldn't help but frightened. He kept pinching his fingers and counting. After a long time, his eyes were shocked.

"Blind man, what's the matter? " asked a few folk men who made up together next to him.

This old man is a fortune teller. Because he always likes to close his eyes and pinch his fingers to tell fortunes, everyone calls him blind.

"It's a big evil, Red Moon, soldiers are in chaos. I've calculated that it's a big evil tonight, and there's a big disaster!" The blind man said nervously.

"I'm talking nonsense again. You're still a few days ago. I'll definitely be rich and prosperous in the future. But I'm 35 years old and still a bachelor, and I'm not hungry for one person. I used to be fed to my mother for 35 years, but I'm still a fool. I'm still living to this day. But that day, you told me to tell the fortunes on the street and said that I'm a rich and noble person. But I was forced to pull the man out the next day. Now I'm dragging him to Daibei. I heard that I'm going to fight with the Qin army. I'm almost unable to come back. So, you're just a fool. If you really know how to calculate, why don't you be pulled away sooner if you don't want to be pulled by a man? "A thick and ferocious man next to the blind snorted coldly and said sarcastically.

The other couples who were also marching together also burst into laughter. In this hot summer, the food trucks that had been dragged for a day during the day. At night, although it was a little cooler, they didn't even have a tent. Countless mosquitoes rushed over in the wasteland, and they couldn't get rid of them with both hands. They couldn't sleep early. Now, they were just talking nonsense and they were having fun in pain.

Someone laughed and said, "Blind, let me see. Maybe I will be rich and will be the capital in the future. If I get the calculation, when I become the capital in the future, I will let you be the capital in the future."

The blind man ignored their ridicule and looked up at the sky from time to time, pinching his fingers while muttering something.

After a while, the blind man sighed, slapped his thigh, and began to clean up his ragged clothes without a sound.

"Blind, what are you doing?"

"For the sake of walking with you all the way, I would like to advise you that there will be a military disaster tonight. If you don't want to lose your life, you should run away quickly."

"Blind, are you really here?" The vicious man in his thirties grabbed the blind man, "Are you trying to die? There are Shatu soldiers everywhere here, where can you escape? If you are discovered, not only will your old bones be unsafe, but we all will also be implicated by you. I haven't lived enough yet, but I don't want to die here."

"If you don't want to die, believe me and run away. Escape immediately, there is not much time left."

"Where to escape?"

The other civilians were a little nervous because of the blind man's attitude and asked worriedly.

The blind man looked around and saw that there were civil servants everywhere, but he knew that on the periphery, there were Shatu soldiers surrounding them, so he had already prevented them from running away.

"In this way, let's find a place to hide, wait for the chaos to come, and then we will act on the camera."

The vicious man was a little skeptical now, "Can you really fight a war later?"

"Listen to me."

"Who are you fighting?" asked the other teenager.

The vicious man knocked a thundering millet on his head and shouted softly: "Idiot, according to the blind man, someone must have come to rob the camp. Yes, it must be the Qin army. Who else can there be besides them?"

The blind man looked at the vicious man unexpectedly, but he didn't expect that he had such a clear mind under his fierce face. He pondered and said, "Actually, this is not all bad. It has always been said that good fortune and good fortune depend on luck and ability. If everyone is willing to do their best, it may not be a chance right now."

"What opportunity?" the ignorant boy asked. This was just a child from a rural farmer and he didn't know anything at all.

"A chance to make money, or even a chance to become a official." A glimmer flashed in the vicious man's eyes, and his eyes fell on the blind man and swept around him, as if he was surprised.

"What are the opportunities to make money, what are the opportunities to become a official, what are the opportunities? Brother Dong, if you really have such opportunities, you can't forget your brothers." The other civilians were originally rascals, and when they first got together, they always wanted to shout and bully others. As a result, when a guy robbed the young man, this vicious man named Song Wendong took action and taught them a lesson. Song Wendong beat all the six guys down with one against six, and he was as if he was not a good person. As a result, these scoundrels immediately became the boss of Song Wendong.

Song Wendong sneered, still staring at the blind man, and said lightly: "I advise you guys not to have that kind of idea. Some money, wealth, not everyone can earn blessings. Don't force your life at any time, otherwise you will regret it at that time."

However, his words not only did not dispel the idea of ​​those guys, but instead made them more interested and excited.

"Brother Dong, what's going on? Tell us about it. Anyway, now that I'm over, I'm just a life-threatening person, so what else can I dare not."

"That's right, brother, let's talk. If we really have that blessing and fate, we won't dare to get any benefits at that time, we will definitely moisten our brother."

The blind man sat aside with his eyes closed and his eyes were smiling. His appearance made Song Wendong very upset. He saw those guys sticking to his side like a dog, and sighed: "Okay, maybe you really have that blessing. Since that's the case, I'll show you a way."

"What road, what road?"

"Let the blind man tell you." Song Wendong opened his mouth but didn't say anything anymore. He pointed at the old blind man, but turned around.

The few lavish immediately turned around and the blind man, "Blind man, what exactly is it? Let me tell us some of you."

The blind man opened his eyes and glanced at a few people. He still had the expression of smiling smile. At this moment, there was no trace of the nervousness he had just now: "Okay, I will show you a way to make a fortune. After a while, you put a white cloth on your arms, and then set fires around the camp, shouting that you were defeated, if you were defeated, you should run away quickly, and you should run away quickly."

Those serious guys who were listening were stunned on the spot. This is even more amazing than escaping. Be good, this old blind man is joking.

"Damn it, this is not funny at all. Let's talk about serious business. Where is the road to wealth?"

"I'm not kidding, this is the road to wealth. The Song guy just said that if you want to go this path, you have to have the courage and have good luck. Ability, courage, and luck are indispensable. I have pointed out the way, and I have said this. Whether you dare to do it is your own business."

Several scoundrels took a breath, damn it, this is true. Is this old blind man a spy?

In fact, not only were those scoundrels suspicious of the identity of the blind man at this time, but Song Wentong also turned his head and stared at the blind man fiercely.

"Sure enough, I was pretending to be a ghost at the beginning. In fact, you were just a fine work of the Qin army. Are you not afraid that someone would report to Shatuo people and exchange your head for rewards?" Song Wendong stared at the blind man.

The blind man sneered and smiled like a fox who stole chickens and ate them.

"So what, so what, no, whether to sue the news is up to you." The blind man's eyes suddenly changed, "But you are not an ordinary person, Ruo Lao blind man guessed it well. You are actually a deserter. In which town did you work as a soldier to eat food in the past? Lu Long, Yiwu, or Chengde?"

Song Wendong's face changed, and finally he said a few words coldly: "I really underestimated you. I'm a little good at it. I used to be from the Boye Army in Chengde Town, so I'm the head."

"Why escape?"

"Because I won't be guarding a ship that has leaked and is about to sink, I just got off the ship early."

The blind man sneered again: "Now I am holding a small boat, but I can take you on a big iron armored ship. Are you willing to get on my boat? Although this boat is a little broken and may be overwhelmed by the upcoming waves at any time, if you can survive this wind and waves, you can board a giant iron armored ship."

Song Wendong couldn't help but clenched his fists, with an indecisive look in his eyes. After thinking for a long time, he finally waved his fist, "Damn it, I've done it!"

"Brother Dong, what are you doing? What are you going to do?" the young man asked in confusion.
