Chapter 231 Beimang
Tongguan is naturally dangerous, guarding the Yellow River and the intersection of Wei River. It is adjacent to the great river trench in the north and the high mountains and ridges in the south. One man should be the pass and ten thousand men cannot open it.
Ying Yi led Wang Yisheng and ten others to climb mountains and ridges in the mountains outside Tongguan for a week. It was almost the end of the afternoon and entered the pass.
"The terrain around Tongguan is dangerous and complicated. If there is a strange person hiding, it is really inconvenient to find it out." After entering Tongguan, Ying Yi spoke and said, "What are the rules for losing soldiers? Is the location west or east?"
Li Huan clasped his fists and said, "East east, all died in the dense forest on the south side of the East Pass. Most of the patrols arranged at the end of the day are outside the West Pass, and only five to ten people outside the East Pass were seen by the thief."
Ying Yi nodded slightly and looked at Li Zhenren again: "The real person must have seen the corpse, but what is the conclusion?"
Li Zhenren said seriously: "The good lord knows that all the soldiers who have lost their souls are taken away when they are confused and they die."
"So the murderer must be Yi Ren?" Ying Yi said.
Li Zhenren bowed: "You must be a person who practices Taoism. And I have already guessed it."
"Oh?" Ying Yi and Li Huan were both excited.
Then he heard Li Zhenren say, "Do you still remember the ghost monk in Li Chuang's army?"
Ying Yi was stunned, and suddenly remembered, saying, "This person was killed by me at the head of Kaifeng City."
Li Zhenren said: "This person is from Xuanyin Temple in Beim Mountain. Xuanyin Temple practices the ghost path of the side, controls evil ghosts, and is the best at captivating people's hearts and souls."
After hearing this, Ying Yi couldn't help laughing, his laughter a little cold: "It must be the act of Xuanyinguan's revenge."
Zhenren Li nodded without saying a word.
Ying Yi sneered repeatedly: "Sure enough, I am no longer aware of the number of days. I have occupied Henan and won the hearts of the people. My troops and horses are strong, but I am a ghost at this time. Do you think my sword is not good?"
Zhenren Li pondered for a moment and said, "It is probably because he is afraid of his lord, and he only dares to find soldiers to trouble him."
Ying Yi nodded: "If I had gone to Kaifeng to find my troubles, I would have taken the life of a ghost."
Then he said, "Since that's the case, there is no need to wander around Tongguan anymore. Beimang Mountain is not far away. I believe this person will come to be a ghost every day and return after doing it. Go directly to his nest and take his life."
Zhenren Li deeply agrees.
Ying Yi said to Li Huan: "Since it's stranger who is causing trouble, I won't blame you this time. You must remember the lesson. If you are a general, if you can't calm down when encountering problems, how can the soldiers below calm down?"
"Here!" Li Huan beat his chest and replied loudly.
Ying Yi walked out: "I don't want to stop. You know the next strategy. I don't need to say much about it. In addition, the soldiers who died must be buried well and all the pensions should be implemented as soon as possible."
Then he said to Wang Yisheng: "Call the guards and let's go."
Zhenren Li followed him out, left Tongguan, and headed towards Luoyang.
Beim Mountain is north of Luoyang, and the Mengjin Ferry is at the foot of Beim Mountain. At this time, there were long tents near Mengjin. Zhu Bingkun and Zheng Jiuliang's eight troops were stationed here, and they could drive to cross the river at any time.
When Ying Yi came, the two of them did not dare to neglect and led a group of generals to greet him.
I saw a golden armored guard coming from afar. Who is the leader of the black armored person?
"Meet the lord!"
Zhu Bingkun and others beat their chests and saluted them with great force.
Ying Yi tied the reins, turned over and dismounted, waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite."
Then he said, "I saw that the camp was neat, I must have been ready?"
Zhu Bingkun stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, lord, make complete preparations soon."
"Yeah." Ying Yi nodded: "There are strange people in Tongguan that killed dozens of soldiers. I am here for this."
"Yi Ren is in trouble?" Zhu Bingkun and others were stunned. Zhu Bingkun's expression changed and suddenly said, "Is it because Yi Ren is in Beim Mountain?"
Ying Yi smiled and said, "That's right. It's this thief." He pointed his backhand, but saw a tightly tied Taoist in black robe on Wang Yisheng's horse.
He said: "At the time of Kaifeng, there was a Xuanyin Temple monk under Li Chuang who was killed by me. This thief was close to him and did not dare to seek revenge on me, but he was in trouble with the soldiers, which was very hateful. I came from Tongguan and when I met this thief on the way, I took him down."
Zhu Bingkun glanced at it and said, "I have never encountered such a ghost when the last general led his troops here the day before yesterday."
Ying Yi said: "I think I'm seeing the camp stretching. After all, there are more than 20,000 soldiers and horses. This thief was afraid." Then he said: "The thief's nest is on this Beimang Mountain, and I already know the location. This time I'm going to finish it."
Zhu Bingkun and Zheng Jiu clasped their fists together: "But please give an order from your lord!"
Ying Yi shook his head: "No need to make a big fuss. Three thousand personal guards are enough. You two just pay attention to your own troops."
The two looked at each other and agreed.
Then Ying Yi turned over and said, "I won't waste time here. You two are ready. Maybe if you have something to do here, you will send troops."
"Here!"
Xuanyin Temple is on Beim Mountain. Although the captured people were tortured and did not tell the specific location, Li Zhenren knew it. Although Xuanyin Temple is a side-minded person, he is a practitioner after all. Li Zhenren has been in Kaifeng for many years and is not far apart, so he naturally knows some details.
Ying Yi immediately led his personal guards and took the Taoist man through the mountains and ridges to the foot of the mountain where Xuanyin Temple was.
Ying Yi said: "Wang Yisheng."
"The last one will be there."
"Please guard the road ahead, back, left and right down the mountain for me."
"Here!"
Ying Yi then said to Zhenren Li: "Please lead the way if you are a real person."
He mentioned the Taoist man and stepped up the mountain with Zhenren Li, heading straight for Xuanyin Temple.
Speaking of the crowded soldiers and horses at the foot of the mountain, how can the Xuanyin Temple be noticed on the mountain? A Taoist boy had already looked at him and ran to the scene. There was a thin and white-bearded Taoist sitting under the statue of the god.
"Why are you so panicked?" the old Taoist priest opened his eyes and scolded.
The little Taoist boy said: "Master, it's not good! A golden armored soldier came down from the mountain!"
"Um?!"
The old Taoist priest stood up and his face changed suddenly.
"Not good!" he said, "I think it was your uncle who was coming to you!"
The old Taoist priest hesitated for a moment and made a quick decision: "Let's go, the small road behind the mountain!"
Then he lifted the Taoist boy and walked out of the Taoist temple gate. When he turned his body and was about to walk to the back mountain, a loud laugh came: "Don't go, Taoist."
But I saw two figures from the bottom of the mountain from far to near, and were already in front of me.
The old Taoist priest sighed inwardly, turned around and put down the Tonger, his eyes narrowed, and when he saw the black-robed Taoist priest holding Ying Yi's hand, his face twitched.
Then the old Taoist priest bowed and said, "I don't know which general is in front of me, I am lucky to have three lives."
Ying Yi and Zhenren Li had arrived in front of him. Ying Yi shook his hand and threw down the Taoist in black robe and said, "Are you the Xuanyin Guan Xuan** person?"
A smile appeared on Xuan**ren's face: "It's me." Then he saw Zhenren Li and smiled: "It turned out to be Zhenren Li from Kaifeng."
Zhenren Li bowed his head and said nothing.
Then he heard Ying Yi say, "I am Ying Yi, and I won't talk much to you. I believe the old Taoist priest knows my purpose."
When the old Taoist priest heard this, he couldn't help but take a breath, bowed and bowed, "It turned out that the Lord of the Central Plains is coming."
Then he said, "Mr. Ying came, and Xuanyin Temple shone brightly. But the old Taoist is not very clear about what he said."
