Chapter 133 Lost on the Mountain Road
After Huang Yinfeng led his troops to set off in the early morning, Zuo Dian asked several postmen who were locked in the woodshed in the backyard to release them, took off their clothes and returned them to them.
Zuo Dian said to several postmen: "I'm sorry, I borrowed the official uniforms of several people, and it also delayed you going to the post station to change shifts. I'm offending. Now I will compensate you for ten taels of silver each. Please accept it with a smile."
Several postmen thought they had encountered a robber and were worried that their lives would be difficult to save. They did not expect that they would not be hurt, but also accidentally got a sum of money. They immediately turned from worry to joy. They all happily received the silver and drove away immediately.
Zuo Dian and others restored the wooden house to the original wine shop, and asked someone to invite the owner and the friend of the wine shop back, saying to them: "We rented the wine shop for a day, and now we return the jade to Zhao Zhao. In addition to the original rent, we also sold out more than 300 jars of old wine in the store, and put all the cash registers on the counter. Please ask the boss to order it."
The owner of the restaurant was reluctant to rent the house to these strangers, but the other party made a very high bid and it was still cash-in-charge. Moreover, the restaurant's business has not been very good in recent days, so he agreed to rent it to them for one day. Unexpectedly, the group of people sold out all the inventory in their store and gave him all the land without any money. He was so happy that he couldn't stop.
The owner of the restaurant insisted that he had to hold a banquet in person to entertain some people. Zuo Dian was also unable to refuse his affection. After the few people had enough food and food, they said goodbye to the boss and went home.
Speaking of which, after running all the way, Huang Yinfeng's troops finally arrived at the foot of Andong Mountain before the hour of the evening. Before he had time to rest, he asked the troops to climb the mountain overnight and strive to enter the ambush site before the early morning of the next day.
With the order, the troops began to climb the mountain along the southern slope. Huang Yinfeng specially organized a dozen inspectors, holding torches, and urging all units to climb the mountain quickly along the way without any mistakes.
Because the clouds covered the sky that night and it was pitch black, it was impossible for the troops to go up the mountain in the dark.
Fortunately, there were people from the inspection team holding torches along the way to light everyone, so that everyone could roughly see the road ahead. The process of going up the mountain was quite smooth. After more than two hours, the troops reached the top of the mountain.
Just when the troops reached the top of the mountain, a huge hornet's nest was hanging on a big tree at the exit of the mountain road. After the soldiers leading the team in front of the troops discovered it, let everyone keep quiet and avoid it, and don't be shocked.
But just as the troops passed, although no one disturbed the hornet's nest, the hornets were dispatched as if they knew that a guest had arrived and flew up to welcome them very enthusiastically.
The soldiers walking in front of the army were stung by the hornets, causing a stir. Seeing this, General Huang Yinfeng quickly asked dozens of soldiers to rush forward with torches, burned all the hornets to death or drove them away, and the team regained their formation.
After the troops reached the top of the mountain, they walked through the woods on the top of the mountain, and finally found the intersection to go down the mountain. Under the leadership of the troops in front, the large troops went down one after another. After about an hour, the troops finally arrived at the foot of the mountain.
After the troops arrived at the foot of the mountain, they lost their direction and didn't know where to move forward, so they had to stop there.
General Huang was also puzzled. This place didn't look like the mouth of Anning River. He immediately sent a few soldiers to investigate and all came back to report that this place was not Anning River and no ambush was found.
At this time, an adjutant who was familiar with the local terrain came up to report that there were three mountain roads on Andong Mountain. The troops should have descended from the mountain road on the north slope, but now they may have walked the mountain road on the northwest slope by mistake, so they went down to this side of the mountain.
Huang Yinfeng was shocked after hearing this. Thinking of the fake Lishui Station, he was even more convinced that there was an expert who was planning for him. All this was to prevent his troops from entering the ambush on time. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel shocked and sweated.
But he didn't have time to think too much now, but fortunately it only took more than an hour. He asked the troops to turn around immediately and go up the mountain without stopping.
Just after Huang Yinfeng's troops passed the top of the mountain and went down the mountain, Tianlang, who was ambushing the northern foothills of Andong Mountain, quickly returned to the top of the mountain. Under Tianlang's command, everyone cleared all the northern downhill roads that had been covered and revealed again. Then, they covered the mountain road on the south slope that the troops had come up with lawns and trees tightly.
Finally, Tianlang asked several people to transplant the big tree with a hornet's nest on the intersection of the south slope to the northern mountain road that has been lit up now. Since the hornets in the hornet's nest have been burned to death or driven away, they did not encounter much trouble when transplanting.
After everything was arranged, Tianlang took everyone back to the north slope and lurked.
Yoko couldn't figure it out again this time, why did Tianlang reveal the correct way down the mountain and hide the wrong way down the mountain?
After hearing his question, Tianlang replied with a smile: "You forgot what Taiqing ancestor taught that war is a trick. The way to use war lies in changing changes, attacking them without defense, and being unexpected. Therefore, 'can' seems to be 'can't'; 'use' seems to look 'not used'; 'near' seems to look 'far'; 'far' seems to look 'far'; 'far' seems to look close', which is the path of impermanence."
Huang Yinfeng's troops took another two hours to climb to the top of the mountain. When they were crossing the bends of trees, General Huang realized that there was something wrong with it. He sent a few soldiers familiar with the terrain to lead the way, and told them to pay attention to identifying the direction and not make any mistakes again.
When it was time to go down the mountain, the soldiers leading the way were also fainted, but most of the soldiers leading the way insisted that they should go down the mountain from their left, while a few soldiers thought that they should go down the mountain from their right.
After General Huang Yinfeng consulted the opinions of the soldiers leading the way, he found that the soldiers who insisted on going down the mountain from the left were more certain and were more confident, while the soldiers who thought they should go down the mountain from the right seemed not so confident.
At this time, two soldiers who had been exploring the road came back and reported that a downhill road was found on the left, while the soldiers on the right said that they did not find the intersection to go downhill.
Huang Yinfeng finally decided to let the troops go down the mountain from the mountain road on the left. With a command, the troops immediately turned to the left and prepared to go down the mountain road on the left.
Huang Yinfeng rode his horse and followed the troops to the downhill road, but he was still full of doubts, and seemed to be a little worried, and walked forward worriedly.
When he passed the intersection of the mountain, he suddenly felt that there was a big tree that looked familiar. He immediately asked the soldiers around him to raise the torch in his hand high. With the light of the soldiers' torch, he saw the empty hornet's nest.
He was shocked and shouted that he almost fell for a fool again. He was intentionally trying to lead him to the original path up the mountain. Wouldn't he let him return to the foot of the northern mountain?
He immediately stopped the advancing troops and asked the troops to turn back immediately and go down the mountain from their right hand side.
But when the troops returned to their right, they did not find the intersection to go down the mountain. When they were not sure what to do, several soldiers found that the lawns in a place had just been laid. After picking the lawns with guns, a intersection to go down the mountain appeared in front of them.
After learning the news, Huang Yinfeng was overjoyed and thought to himself how he had become more conscientious and did not let the enemy's plan succeed. He immediately asked the soldiers to clear the roadblocks set up by weeds and trees on the mountain road, and immediately went up and down the mountain road.
At this time, Huang Yinfeng's troops were already exhausted. The soldiers dragged their heavy steps and stumbled for more than an hour before finally getting off the mountain.
However, the troops that had just arrived at the foot of the mountain stopped again. When Huang Yinfeng was about to send someone to urge him to continue moving forward, the troops from the front reported that the troops had returned to the place where they went up the mountain last night and asked the general to indicate where to move forward.
After listening to the soldiers' report, Huang Yinfeng immediately felt dizzy and shook his head immediately, but he almost fell down. He felt a rush of his chest and a mouthful of blood soaked out from the corner of his mouth.
At this time, the sky was already shining slightly. It seemed that it was already early morning. Did the Chu army reach the mouth of the river? It had passed safely? He didn't know, but he understood that no matter what, his troops still had to rush to the ambush site. Even if the Chu army was not intercepted, they would still have to chase after it.
