When Xu Chu came to the foot of Jianmen Mountain, it was still bright.

The scouts he sent returned to the army before they even arrived for an hour.

From the scouts to the return, the time they spent should be swaying around the forest at the foot of the mountain.

Night falls quietly.

Xu Chu ordered the soldiers to camp on the spot and block the only way to lead Jianmen Mountain to Langzhong.

He didn't know that Jiang Wei had led the Yizhou army to quietly block the necessary path to climb the mountain from behind.

Li Yan was ordered to lead two thousand soldiers and touched the path behind the mountain.

Two thousand soldiers all touched the place where Jiang Wei was stationed with their hands and feet, with the help of the night cover.

While walking, Li Yan stopped.

He raised his arm and stopped the soldiers from moving forward.

"Beware!" He has been leading troops for several years, and he has some experience in the battlefield, and has already realized that the situation is not very correct.

The nights in the mountains and forests are very quiet, and it is precisely because of the tranquility that it is easier to startle birds.

At first, when they entered the mountain, they did alarm many birds and animals.

However, the closer to where Jiang Wei was stationed, the birds and beasts disappeared.

Li Yan ordered to be on guard, and the soldiers raised their weapons one after another.

At this moment, a fire suddenly lit up on the hillside, and countless Yizhou troops appeared in front of them.

Standing in front of the Yizhou Army was Jiang Wei.

He shouted to Li Yan: "Li Yan, I asked you to lead troops to intercept the enemy. Not only can you not do it, but you were also captured by the enemy. Now you still have the face to attack your former comrades in the opposite direction?"

Facing Jiang Wei's questioning, Li Yan swallowed.

He shouted to Jiang Wei: "General Boyue, I met Duke Fa, and I heard him tell him why he joined the Great Wei in the Battle of Hanzhong. At that time, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were arrogant because of his favor and ignored Duke Fa's plans at all. The two were captured, and Duke Fa believed that he would die when he returned to Yizhou, so he could only surrender to the King of Wei. He had no intention of rebelling against Yizhou, but Shu Han killed his family and relatives. If anyone had anybody, how could he not revenge the revenge of killing relatives?"

"After hearing Fa Zheng's one-sided words, you came to fight against your former comrades. Now you dare to be so kind. How can I spare you?" Jiang Wei ordered behind him: "Send an arrow and kill Li Yan for me!"

The Yizhou Army archer who had been ready for a long time tapped his bow and shot a rain of arrows at the Wei army led by Li Yan.

The arrows were like rain, covering the heads of Wei soldiers.

The Wei army soldiers held shields to block the rain of arrows flying from top to bottom.

The arrows hit the shield, making a crisp "crackling" sound.

Li Yan also hid behind several soldiers, not even daring to raise his head.

At the foot of the mountain, Xu Chu was about to go to bed, and the guard reported outside the tent: "Report to General, a fire appeared on the mountain!"

When he heard that there was a fire on the mountain, Xu Chu hurried out of the tent.

Looking up the mountain, he saw a lot of fire.

There was a fire, and there might be a fight there. Xu Chu quickly ordered: "Soldiers, follow me up the mountain!"

Eight thousand soldiers followed Xu Chu and went up the mountain.

The place where the fire lights are light is not close to the foot of the mountain.

After all, climbing a hill is different from walking on the flat ground.

When Xu Chu arrived at the place soon, there was no sound of shouting for killing there.

The fire was weak, not as weak as he saw at the foot of the mountain.

The closer you get, the more wrong Xu Chu feels.

What he heard was a burst of wailing and moaning, and it was obvious that there were quite a few people injured.

As soon as he arrived at the path where Li Yan was ordered to encircle, Xu Chu saw many soldiers lying on the mountain road.

Several soldiers ran out quickly from behind him and went forward to inspect it.

One of the soldiers turned around and ran back: "General Qi, they are all soldiers of our army."

"Where is Li Yan?" Xu Chu asked.

"Not found yet." The soldier replied.

Xu Chu quickly walked forward. As he walked, he shouted: "Where is Li Yan?"

The mountain road along the way was full of injured and dead Wei troops.

The slightly injured are taking care of the seriously injured, while the dead Wei Jun has no one to pay attention to it.

"Buried the body." Xu Chu shouted behind him and continued to look for Li Yan.

"General Xu, you have found General Li!" As he was walking, a soldier came towards him.

"Where?" Seeing the tragic situation in front of him, Xu Chu wished he could blow Li Yan's head with one punch. He heard that he had found him and urged the soldiers to lead the way.

The moment he saw Li Yan, Xu Chu's clenched fists relaxed.

Several soldiers stained with blood were taking care of Li Yan.

With a few arrows inserted into his body, Li Yan was already dying.

"General Li, what's going on?" Xu Chu asked, squatting down and holding Li Yan's shoulder.

"We were ambushed..." Li Yan replied weakly: "I'm sorry to Fa Gong..."

"Don't talk about this, go back first." Xu Chu ordered: "Take General Li and the injured soldiers and go down the mountain as soon as possible!"

When they went down the mountain, Jiang Wei did not give any obstacles.

Xu Chu returned to the army and Fa Zheng, who had already received the news, came out.

Seeing Li Yan being carried down the mountain by the soldiers, he frowned and said, "Take General Li down to rest."

The soldier carried Li Yan away, and Fa Zheng asked Xu Chu: "General Xu, what's going on?"

"I don't know either." Xu Chu said: "According to the instructions of Mr. Fa, I led the soldiers to camp at the foot of the mountain, and waited for the fight on the mountain before hiding it. There was no movement in the middle of the night, and there were still guards reporting it, and I found that there was a fire on the mountain. When we went up the mountain, we became like this."

"Bring a soldier who was present at that time." Fa Zheng ordered the guard behind him.

The guard left, and soon came with a lesser-injured soldier.

Fa Zheng asked the soldier: "What happened? How could it be like this?"

"Report to the commander." The soldier replied: "General Li took us up the mountain, and he almost arrived at the place and ordered the soldiers to stop. Before we could understand what was going on, Jiang Wei showed up on the mountain road with his people. They prepared a lot of bows and arrows, but we couldn't rush up at all."

"The two sides did not engage in the battle?" Fa Zheng frowned.

"No!" Thinking of what happened on the mountain road, the soldiers were still a little scared: "The sky is full of arrows, and the shield is slightly biased, and they may be shot and killed on the spot!"

"I understand!" Fa Zheng waved his hand: "You go and rest."

The soldier retreated and he said to Xu Chu: "Jiang Wei's deceitfulness must have seen our army's plans. Jianmen Mountain cannot be taken down for the time being, so he can only wait for good news to come from General Ma."

"What a good thing, Jiang Boyue, I will capture him sooner or later and twist his head off his neck!" Xu Chu said, clenching his fists, "You must not just let this happen in this matter today!"
