In a small valley in the mountains, Changyi Yuanzhi sat by the fire, holding a wine bag in his hand, taking a sip from time to time. There were a few small leaders sitting around, all staring at a sheep on the fire.

Cao Qun said: "Tai Lieutenant, we broke the Qingyuan army, I heard that we annoyed the Song army, and we want to send a large army to suppress it." The Song army has hundreds of thousands of people, but it is not something we can resist, it is good to have a good place to go. ”

Changyi Yuanzhi took a sip of wine and said in a deep voice: "Do you think it's better for us to flee to?" ”

Cao Qun looked at Du Luo Angji beside him and said, "The little one thinks that now the army of the Song Dynasty stretches for dozens of miles, and there is no place for peace to the north and west. Only to the northeast, to Yanzhou, there is no trace of the Song army. ”

Chang Yi Yuanzhi said coldly: "Then do you think Lingzhou can hold it?" ”

Cao Qun shook his head: "The Song army sent troops for several months, attacked everything, and fought everything, and only we won two victories." If this continues, how can Lingzhou City be saved? The guns of the Song army are sharp, the two armies are arrayed, how can the party resist? ”

Chang Yi Yuanzhi said: "In that case, what's the use of going to Yanzhou?" Lingzhou is not guaranteed, will the Song army keep Yanzhou? Not to mention that it is not easy to cross the Baili Han Sea. We go to Yanzhou, there is no way back, it is a place of death! ”

Hearing this, Du Luo Angji hurriedly said, "Yi Taiwei said, where should we go?" Now that the Song army is in Sihe, the party has little time, but it is not a good way to return to Yanzhou. It's just that in other places, there is not even a road, which is really annoying. ”

Chang Yi Yuanzhi looked at everyone and said, "We have annoyed the Song army, and if we want to live, we have to go to a place that the Song army can't control." It is nothing more than one to the west and the other to the north. To the north, you have to cross the whole river meandering road, over the Black Mountain, which is too far. The other is to cross Tiandu Mountain and go to the Hehuang area. There are high mountains and deep valleys, and there are many Tibetan parts, so it is not difficult to find a place to stay. ”

Hearing this, Cao Qun couldn't help but be taken aback: "Captain, Huluchuan is the back road of the Song army, and I don't know how many soldiers. If you want to get there, I'm afraid it's very rare. Those of us who rely on geography in the deep mountains can still fight with the Song army, once we meet the Song army brigade, where is the opponent! ”

The rest of the people were all in favor of Cao Qun. Although they have won two battles, these people still know that they are two pounds.

Chang Yi Yuanzhi said: "More than 300 of us, breaking through the Qinggang Gorge and the Qingyuan Army, getting some supplies, how many days can we hold on?" Although there are households in the mountains, there is not much grain in the small shares, and the large ones are not something we can deal with, so we cannot stay in the mountains all the time. The Song army brigade must go north, and Huluchuan is the place where they transport grain and grass. Even if there is protection, it must not be strict, and it should be able to pass. ”

Du Luo Angji said: "What if you can't get by? Captain, it is not easy for us to have today, and we cannot take risks. ”

Chang Yi Yuanzhi saw that the sheep on the fire was ripe, tore a leg of mutton down, and said to the rest of the people: "The weather is too cold, let's talk while eating." ”

Eating a leg of mutton, Chang Yi Yuanzhi said: "Everyone, if we go north, we won't be able to cross the river meandering road, not to mention that the garrison won't let us go." And staying in the mountains, after the Song army wiped out the party, where will we survive? The only way to live is to bite the bullet and cross Tiandu Mountain to the west to Hehuang. The current Hehuang, with many small Tibetan parts, is the easiest to gain a foothold. Along the way, we grabbed some villages, got some floating wealth, and everyone divided it, and went there to live happily for a lifetime. If you don't dare to wear Tiandu Mountain, I'm afraid that there is no way to live. ”

Cao Qun said: "To the northeast to Yanzhou, we are the ones who are better than the Song army, and we will inevitably be welcomed by them." ”

Chang Yi Yuanzhi shook his head: "And then? Sending us to defend the walled city and fight with the Song army, how is it a game? Now that we have reached this day, it is natural that we have to make a long home. That's it, those who are willing to go to Hehuang with me will naturally follow me. If you don't want to, find your own way. Thinking that we broke the Qingyuan army, the Song army must be angry, it is time to send a large army, and it is not advisable to stay here for a long time. ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned for a while, but they didn't expect Chang Yi Yuanzhi to say this.

Since the Qinggangxia incident, various people in the vicinity have been attached to Changyi Yuanzhi, even including the Song army prisoners of war. Chang Yi Yuanzhi himself did not have many soldiers in Qinggangxia, less than 100 people, and the main force now is the rest of the people.

Chang Yi Yuanzhi is thoughtful, and he is not greedy for money, and every time he is captured, he always shares it with everyone. Because of this, these people believed in him. Originally, I thought that this team would stay in the mountains or go to the party, but I didn't want to move Yuanzhi to this idea.

Cao Qun and the others gathered to the side and discussed in a low voice where to go next. Whether to follow Changyi Yuanzhi or don't do it all the way, the controversy is unresolved.

Chang Yi Yuanzhi bit the leg of mutton, drank wine, and looked at everyone coldly. Having been broken by the Song army and defeated the Song army, Chang Yi Yuanzhi is very clear about the current situation. The mountains in this area are continuous, which is said to be not conducive to the Song army brigade to come, and they can stay for a while. The problem is that after ambushing the Song army of the Qingyuan army, he really didn't hold back and led people to break through the empty Qingyuan army. The abundance of materials in it surprised Chang Yi Yuanzhi, and it also made him realize that the logistics of the Song army were far from what he had thought before.

Looking at everyone, Chang Yi Yuanzhi couldn't help but shake his head. If you don't leave now, when will you wait? Song Jun has been going well, but suddenly suffered such a big setback, how could he let himself go? Looking at the supplies of the Song army from the Qingyuan army, where it is like the army on the front line, the most elite army of the party cannot be compared. One leaf can know the autumn, this time the Song army attacked the party, and the result was actually decided.

In Qinggangxia, his wife is dead, his home is gone, so why bother to work for the dying party? Chang Yi Yuanzhi thought clearly, the only way to live now is to go to Hehuang and start a new life, and everything else is a dead end for himself.

After discussing for a long time, Cao Qun came over and said, "Taiwei, the brothers heard that they were going to cross Tiandu Mountain, but they all felt that it was too difficult, and they couldn't make a decision for a while. Why don't you wait a few more days, grab some supplies, and then make a decision? ”

Chang Yi Yuanzhi nodded: "Yes, it is not a few days apart." Waiting for the Song army to attack Lingzhou is the best time. ”

Cao Qun said: "We only have a few hundred people, even if it is the Song army that transports grain, if it is not for the geographical advantage, it is not their opponent." If you want to cross Tiandu Mountain, you must find out the route of the Song army and avoid their brigade. ”

Chang Yi Yuanzhi said: "I will send someone to find out the way, how can I hit the Song army brigade headfirst?" ”

Du Luo Angji said: "Taiwei, even if we go to Hehuang, I am afraid that the Tibetan department there will be our enemy. If you are not fully prepared, how dare you leave easily? I heard that Hehuang respects the Buddha and calls Song a minister, and he can't tolerate us. ”

Chang Yi Yuan Zhi said: "How many places can you manage?" There are all large and small tribes, and they do not offend each other with the Song people. Hundreds of us have arrived there, and the ordinary people are not opponents, are you afraid that there is no place to stand? Bring some money with you and live with peace of mind. ”

Du Luo Angji was silent, and he would be suspicious of Chang Yi Yuanzhi's words. He Huang is indeed not a man who covers the sky with one hand, but as an outsider, he is afraid that it is not so easy to gain a foothold. If you get there and get expelled, there is really no way back.

Seeing that everyone was skeptical about his decision, Chang Yi Yuanzhi didn't say much, just drank wine and ate meat. If they don't leave, they will go with their cronies, and there will be a lot less trouble.
