Pan Mei led the elite imperial guards to station in a military camp about ten miles away from the city, adjacent to the stream and backed by the mound. At the bottom of the wind is a forest of osmanthus covering an area of ​​more than ten acres, with no one around. This place originally belonged to Xingyuan Mansion.

The army's barracks were temporarily requisitioned by them, including trenches, fences, arrow towers, barracks, military brigades, etc.

Fu Jingtao, Zhao Yanrong and his foursmen abandoned the donkey cart and walked quickly outside the military camp.

Wow! A loud arrow shot down and was inserted into the middle of the road. Two figures appeared on the camp gate and shouted: "Stop! The military camp is in a major area, no idle people are allowed to approach!"

Zhao Yanrong raised his breath and sang: "I am Zhao Liu! Let Pan Mei come to see me!"

The soldier guarding the gate was shocked, Zhao Liu? Isn't that a princess? Why did she become a man? I hurried to the camp to report. After a while, the camp gate was wide open, and Pan Mei, dressed in military uniform, led the commanders, all of them rushing.

After coming out, everyone looked anxious.

Zhao Yanrong took the initiative to greet him: "General Pan, it's me!"

Pan Mei and others looked at Zhao Liu, who was beyond recognition in shock, and could hardly believe his eyes. Pan Mei said in surprise: "Princess, why did you become like this?"

Zhao Yanrong was so smart that of course he would not admit that he had run away privately because of his greed for fun and delicious food. He said solemnly: "When I was in the city, I noticed someone secretly malice, so I had to disguise myself as a change of disguise to avoid the other party's surveillance, and finally managed to escape from the city. General Pan,

It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, so you can plan to evacuate quickly!”

Pan Mei and others were shocked. Who was so brave that she coveted the princess of the Song Dynasty and forced her to escape in a panic? Doesn’t that person know that Zhao Kuangyin loves this sister the most? Anyone who violated the emperor’s rebellion will be killed in the whole family.

The end!

Pan Mei hurriedly said: "Please move back to the camp, let's discuss the next step."

Zhao Yanrong pointed to Fu Jingtao and said, "This is my junior brother, Fu Jingtao, who is the top of the Qingyun List of the Song Dynasty! This time he is out of danger, otherwise I would not be able to come back."

Pan Mei and other imperial guards bowed and thanked each other. Everyone was afraid after thinking about it, and they were sweating in their vests. They shouldered the heavy responsibility of defending the princess' return to Beijing. If she had any faults, they would be able to blame for their people and would definitely be deprived.

They all owe Fu Jingtao a great favor.

Fu Jingtao knew very well that Zhao Yanrong was helping him weaving his connections and did not dare to regard himself as a hero. He only said that it was natural to rescue his fellow disciples, and the safety of the princess still depends on you.

Entering the military camp, Zhao Yanrong and Hu Feng washed away the disguise powder and put on the armor of the imperial guards. They were heroic and clean. Everyone immediately gathered in the conference hall to discuss and decide the next action.

Zhao Yanrong said seriously: "I'm going to hide it from you, the enemy we are going to face is the Jiedushi Liu Qingyi! He summoned the old subordinates of the Chai family, secretly bought weapons, colluded with Shu, and tried his best to occupy Hanzhong and become king! Therefore, he tried every means to capture him.

Live as a hostage to threaten the Emperor of Song.”

"What? Liu Qingyi wants to rebel?!"

All the generals and officials were moved and suddenly felt a premonition that a storm was coming.

Liu Qingyi was the chief general of Zhongyuan Army. His army was the main force to fight and harass the Shu army. He was well-equipped and had strong combat power. The total of all the soldiers and horses was about 20,000. According to normal circumstances, the elite soldiers of his personal soldiers should be 1,000.

From about 500 to 2000, the combat level is almost the same as the elite imperial guards from Tokyo.

The guards led by Pan Mei were only more than 400.

The enemy is large and we are few, and the right time, place and people are not superior.

The crime of treason is unforgivable. No matter what consideration Liu Qingyi is, he would not allow Zhao Yanrong to leave the territory of Xingyuan Mansion alive. Anyone who knows this secret will either surrender and be loyal to him or die.

Zhao Yanrong looked around the generals and said coldly: "What, are you afraid?"

"Afraid?!"

The generals knew that this was the princess's agitated plan, but they still jumped up in anger, beating their breastplate to fight. They were the emperor's guards, holding the highest military pay, using the most exquisite equipment, and the eyes

How could a man with iron blood above the top be timid and afraid to fight?

The dignity of the Iron Army of the Song Dynasty cannot be underestimated.

Seeing that the military morale was available, Zhao Yanrong nodded with satisfaction: "I am an amateur in marching and fighting. Can I break through the Zhongyuan Army or openly or secretly intercept it? Please ask everyone!"

The generals responded with a loud bang: "Swear to serve the princess to the death!"

Zhao Yanrong said: "General Pan, where should we go, you will be in charge of the unified command and arrangement!"

Pan Mei bowed and said, "As for order!" He asked someone to spread out the marching map, carefully observe the road terrain of Xingyuan Mansion, and kept issuing orders in general, with a firm and powerful tone. The generals and officials received the orders solemnly and rushed out of the conference hall to work busy.

But when the horse's hooves sounded, a group of cavalry rushed out of the camp gate and scattered in all directions; the commands in the camp were deafening, and the soldiers and armor were firm. The infantry quickly gathered to inspect the weapons, gathered food and grass, and prepared to evacuate in an orderly manner.

An atmosphere of a war is coming quickly spread.

About half an hour later, generals kept coming back to hand over the order. Pan Mei was as calm as a rock. Based on the information fed back from the investigation, she kept gesturing on the marching map, thinking about deducing the marching route.

To be honest, their situation is not optimistic.

Xingyuan Prefecture is located on a plain, with a flat horse. There is Han River rushing outside the city. It is impossible for the army to move out of the way to avoid Liu Qingyi's eyeliner. It is obvious that it is not feasible to cross the Han River south. The ship at the ferry must be controlled by Liu Qingyi, so he can only go north and enter the Qinling Mountains.

Only by using the complex terrain to win a glimmer of hope. However, according to the rewards of the horse-riding spies, soldiers set up checkpoints and investigated in all major transportation routes north, which clearly means that the Zhongyuan army has taken precautions in advance.

From Hanzhong across the Qinling Mountains to the Guanzhong Plain, there have been five plank roads since ancient times, namely Baoxie Road, Qishan Road, Chencang Road, Ziwu Road, and Tangluo Road. Qishan Road is too far, regardless of whether Baoxie Road is closest to Fucheng, and the most convenient access is

, Chencang Road has the longest mileage, Tangluo Road is the most steep, and Ziwu Road leads directly to Chang'an.

If everyone wants to avoid the threat of Zhongyuan Army, they must choose one of the four plank roads to go north.

Fu Jingtao's mind flashed and he blurted out: "Why don't we imitate General Han and build a plank road openly and secretly travel to Chen Cang?"

When the Chu and Han Dynasty were fighting for hegemony, Liu Bang was weak at first and was trapped in Hanzhong. Later, when he was full of wings, he decided to send troops from Hanzhong to attack Xiang Yu and fight for the world. General Han Xin deliberately built a plank road, namely the Baoxia Road, confusing the other party, and secretly attacked around the Chencang Road.

Winning laid the foundation of the Han Dynasty.

Pan Mei and other generals were familiar with this allusion and exchanged glances with each other. Fu Jingtao's meaning was obvious, and someone had to make the illusion of attacking the Baoxi Road, attracting the attention of Liu Qingyi's army and allowing Zhao Yanrong to enter the Qinling Mountains from other plank roads.

Only by successfully mobilizing Liu Qingyi's troops will there be loopholes in the northern defense line. By then, you can use the cover of night to hide into the mountains as you wish.

However, those responsible for attacking Baoxiedao will be deeply surrounded by the enemy and will die without life. At this time, someone must take the initiative to sacrifice in exchange for the princess's safety.
