Li Yuanhao was a blessing in disguise, although he lost a small battle, he successfully grabbed the 70,000 army of the Yeli brothers, which is more worthy of celebration than taking Weizhou City in the first war.

For a long time, Li Yuanhao is most afraid of these two people, although these two are the elder brothers of the queen Yeli clan, and they can be regarded as loyal supporters after their accession to the throne, but the supporters who sit on the army of hundreds of thousands of Yeli tribes are always terrifying, and many times they have to act according to their faces.

Li Yuanhao didn't stop there, these two old fools couldn't guarantee that they didn't wake up on the way back, the soldiers of the Yeli tribe still had to listen to them after all, and there was no reason why they didn't return the military power after this battle, and after the return of the military power, it was really hard to say what these two people would do.

In view of this, Li Yuanhao did not stop doing anything, and immediately sent his personal guards to follow behind the Yeli brothers, and killed the two kings who were walking away in a secluded and deserted area on the spot, and left the standard weapons of the Song army to fake the scene of the Song army's attack.

Then he sent Zhang Yuan to the camp of the Li tribe in the left and right armies, saying that the two kings had important matters to return to Xingqing, and asked their generals to lead their guards to protect them; Of course, their guards will find the scene where the two kings were hacked to death with random knives, and they will see the weapons of the Song people scattered on the spot, so Li Yuanhao announced that the two Yeli kings were intercepted and killed by the Song army, and grafted hatred onto the heads of the Song people.

In less than two hours, Li Yuanhao got rid of his henchmen, although this move caused a huge shock in the army, and it will also cause many people to be suspicious, but Li Yuanhao doesn't care about this, except for the Yeli brothers, he is not afraid of anyone's gossip at all.

Li Yuanhao immediately issued an edict to appoint himself as the commander of the three armies, mixed the left and right armies and the Chinese army, and replaced a number of backbone generals in the Yeli army for the people with the defeat in the first battle, and arranged his own people to complete the control of the Yeli army.

After the Western Xia army gradually calmed down, a group of Xia soldiers began to march towards Longshan, looking at this, it was Li Yuanhao who woke up and wanted to cut down trees and build ladders to attack the city on all sides.

Even if the dynasty wanted to take someone to burn the mountain, Su Jin hurriedly stopped him, Su Jin thought that it was only two hours before dark, what could these Xia troops do when they rushed to Longshan at this time? Logging overnight is impossible.

Su Jin asked, and the shrewd Jingtai's eyes lit up suddenly: "Lord Su, in the eyes of the lower officials, these are the vanguard troops of the Xia army's logging, and they will definitely camp on Longshan, ready to stay on Longshan and cut down trees for a few days, and then send soldiers and horses to pull them in the camp, this group of people and horses is less than five thousand, and Xiaguan has a bold suggestion......"

Before Jingtai could speak, Su Jin, Pan Jiang, and Li Chong said in unison: "Night attack ......!" ”

Jingtai laughed and said: "The heroes see the same thing, but we are not opponents in horse warfare, but we are not scared of thieves in the mountains and forests at night, and they are not many in number, and the terrain is not familiar to us, it is a good opportunity." ”

Su Jin clapped his hands and said: "Yes, they would never have thought that we would dare to take the initiative to attack, it is because of this that they dare to be so unscrupulous, Wang Dynasty Mahan, immediately lead people to secretly find out the location of the enemy camp, don't alarm them, just know how many of them are and where they are camped, and report back immediately after finding out." ”

Wang Dynasty Mahan gave up his hand and left, Su Jin thought about it and stopped them and said: "Please come with Uncle Lu, he knows every grass and tree on Longshan very well, and he may be able to help a lot." ”

Dynasty Ma Han promised, invited Lu Laosan to accompany him, and took more than a dozen horse soldiers out of the south gate and made a big bend to the southeast of Longshan.

When it was dark, Wang Dynasty Ma Han and Lu Laosan and others rushed back to Weizhou City and went straight to the palace to see Su Jin, Su Jin was anxiously waiting for news, and hurriedly rushed to the Yamen hall when he heard the report, but under the light, he saw that there was a lot of blood on the face of Wang Dynasty Ma Han, and several of the Ma soldiers behind him were also injured, Su Jin was startled and asked, "What's wrong?" Have you encountered the thief? What is the injury? ”

Wang Chao hurriedly said: "Ma Han and I are not injured, Ma Jun's brothers were injured four, but the injuries are not serious. ”

Su Jin said: "That's good, how can it be detected by the western thief?" Then you can't sneak up tonight. ”

Wang Chao hurriedly said: "Prince, we just met the scout team of the West Thieves on the way back, about 30 people, we could have fled quickly, but I was afraid that these scout teams would send the news of our going to Longshan back to the West Thieves camp, which would arouse the vigilance of the West Thieves, so they took the initiative to attack and killed them all, and several Ma Jun brothers were injured, but it was not a big deal." ”

Su Jin breathed a sigh of relief and praised: "A few of you are quite a general now, and you are quite careful considering things now, I will ask for credit for you after this battle." ”

Ma Han said with a smile: "Where does the prince say, there is a bird to use as an official, I don't want to leave Su Ji, and it is comfortable to follow the prince to do things." ”

Wang Dynasty nodded and said, "Yes, I won't leave Gongye's big official, and I don't want it." ”

Su Jin said with a smile: "You guys, if you have merit, you naturally have to be promoted, otherwise wouldn't others say that I, Su Jin, don't know how to take care of my subordinates, and I'll talk about this matter later, Uncle Lu wasn't frightened, right?" ”

Lu Laosan arched his hand and said: "Thank you for your concern, the old man has seen a lot, what is there to be frightened." ”

Wang Chao said with a smile: "Old man Lu should be strong, and he personally slaughtered a Xia Army scout with a steel fork, and even the young people in our horse army are ashamed of themselves." ”

Su Jin raised his tall fingers and admired sincerely, he had heard that the people in the northwest were fierce, which could be seen from Lu Laosan, but he was not stimulated, if Li Zhihe and others continued to do nonsense, it would be difficult to ensure that the people would not mess around, if the people were all as strong as Lu Laosan, it would be a tricky thing at that time.

"Master Su, the old man knows a passage to the hillside where the Xia army is camped, and the old man will take you there at night."

Su Jin was overjoyed and said: "You wait for some food first, I will immediately order Pan Jiang to organize the army, and we will set off after the sky is dark." ”

……

The night was like ink, and the 3,000 Weizhou troops walked to Longshan under the leadership of Su Jin, Panjiang, and Wang Dynasty Ma Han and others.

Under the leadership of Lu Laosan, the troops did not go directly to the camp of the Xia army in the east of Longshan, but followed the road at the foot of the mountain for an hour to the bare mountain beam on the southern slope, which had been bare by the frenzied logging of the Weizhou army and civilians, leaving only weeds and bare rocks.

Lu Laosan walked in front of the team, only to see him climb a big bluestone with vigorous hands, stretched out his hand and pointed at the mountain wall and whispered: "Master Su, there is a cave there, do you see it?" ”

Su Jin stared carefully, he couldn't see anything clearly in the dark, and Lu Laosan said: "Listen carefully, is there the sound of flowing water." ”

Su Jin listened carefully, and sure enough, the sound of a gurgling stream came with an echo, although the sound was small, but it was really heard in the quiet night.

"This cave is called the Yellow Dragon Cave, it is the longest of the many caves on Longshan, from the south slope to the east slope, in the afternoon we secretly observed the location of the West Thief camp, is in the valley under the exit of the East Slope of the Yellow Dragon Cave, we quietly pass through this hole, you can reach the top of the West Thief camp unconsciously."

Su Jinxi said: "This is great, but since there is a hole, it is possible for the thieves to find the hole, if it is blocked in the hole, it will be troublesome." ”

Lu Laosan said with a smile: "My lord Wang'an, the exit of the eastern slope is very secret, it is a densely wooded place, and there are thorn vines entangled, the western thief has not yet cut down the wood to that place, how can you find out?" Besides, snakes and wolves often haunt this cave, and they don't dare to drill into the cave indiscriminately. ”

Su Jin was startled and said, "Are there snakes and wolves in the cave?" ”

Lu Laosan nodded and said, "Yes, are you afraid?" ”

Su Jin is not afraid of anything else, but he is a little afraid of snakes, but at this moment, the sword mountain and the sea of fire are about to be crossed, not to mention that Lu Laosan is here, he doesn't answer at the moment, and walks forward with a deep foot and a shallow foot towards the entrance of the cave, Lu Laosan smiled, quickly followed, and took the first step to remove the weeds and enter the hole.

Three thousand soldiers rush in, enter the cave can light a torch to illuminate, the cave is initially cramped, the more you go inside, the more spacious it is, under the illumination of the torches of the people, the top of the cave wall is a stone upside down and colorful, the foot is a gravel fine underground channel, flowing a clear and cold stream, from time to time there is a strange sound from the hole vertically down the shaft, but some horror and horror.

Fortunately, the road was stable, except for the lizards and bats flying around, the tigers, wolves, insects and snakes were not seen, and after walking for about half an hour, the cave wall turned sharply to the right.

Lu Laosan stopped and said, "Your Excellency is about to reach the exit of Dongpo." ”

Su Jin passed the order, extinguished the torches, and everyone slowly groped forward in the dark with the corners of their clothes, and before they could make tea, they heard the sound of the mountain wind sweeping through the treetops like an angry wave hitting the shore and sending it into their ears, obviously the hole of the eastern slope had arrived.
