Xiaoguan is one of the four natural barriers of the Central Plains, located at the edge of the eastern foot of Liupan Mountain, the mountain pass, since ancient times it is a place where soldiers must fight, and the rulers of all dynasties have sent heavy troops to garrison to protect Chang'an.

It is surrounded by majestic peaks, deep valleys, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is not an independent fortress, but a complete defense system along the fortress on the mountain range.

The unique geographical advantages formed by nature make it impossible for the troops to be deployed in front of the pass, no matter how many people come, they can only follow the dangerous road of sheep intestines to go up the mountain in order to finally reach the bottom of Xiao Pass.

The narrow and winding path was dominated by towering mountain walls on one side and cliffs along the Weishui or Jing River on the other, and the infantry could still be two people side by side, while the cavalry could only be dragged slowly by men and horses behind.

As long as there are a few teams of people and horses on the top of the hill guarding Xiaoguan, they can shoot the narrow road below from the high ground, and there is no dead end under the cover on all sides.

Due to the steep terrain, if you want to pull out the archers on the mountain, you must first resist the unpreventable falling logs and arrows from all directions, and break through the more precipitous Xiao Pass.

Only in this way can the invincible Turkic elite cavalry on the grassland be easily blocked.

It's a pity that Xiao Pass, which was originally stationed with heavy troops, is now as quiet as a ghost domain, with no traces of horses, only the cold wind and remnant sun.

The sunset is brilliant, and the quaint and upright city wall seems to be full of blood, blowing the mountains and rivers like mourning.

Feng Xiaoxiao ghostly appeared on the empty Xiao Pass, and sighed: "Fortunately, it is Xiongguan instead of Xiongcheng, more than ten zhang high, wide and horizontal, but only twenty steps, otherwise I can't keep a whole city wall." ”

There was a deep hatred in his tone.

Fengxue and the concubine fell behind him and stood left and right. Feng Xue's eyes coldly glanced at the valley in front of the Guanqian and did not make a sound. The senior concubine sighed: "Li Yuan's chaotic life naturally leads to the discouragement of the army, and in a short period of time, it is impossible to condense. ”

On the way of the three of them, they encountered several Li Tang troops who had withdrawn from Xiao Pass, and Feng Xiao Xiao killed dozens of officers in a row, but failed to prevent the army from withdrawing, but instead caused the already scattered army to almost collapse and become a chaotic army.

The sunset in the distance was even more red and burning, burning the clouds and angry red, and a banner suddenly appeared, as if splitting the clouds, fluttering with the evening breeze, and the torches as thin as snakes spread from the field like dragons, and the whole valley was lit up by the fire.

"Golden Wolf Banner." The jade face of the concubine Xuan Gujing changed slightly, and said: "It's Jieli's golden wolf army." ”

Feng Xiaoxiao's eyes tightened. He was worried that the Turkic army was coming, so he didn't dare to entangle too much with Li Tang's army, it seemed that he was right, and he hurried along the way, and finally came to this Xiongguan where no one was stationed first.

If you come an hour late, I am afraid that this eternal Xiongguan will change hands, and then the Turkic spirit will ride into the pass, galloping on the plain, ten thousand horses galloping, and the gods will not be able to stop it.

The three of them stood on the highest lookout platform in Xiao Pass, condescending to watch the Turks quickly set up camp in the last open area before entering the pass.

Under the reflection of the setting sun and firelight, Feng Xiaoxiao's face looked very pale, and said: "The strength of the camp is between 15,000 and 20,000, this must be only the vanguard, the main force of the Chinese army plus the rear army, at least 100,000 people." With such strength, it is enough to level the prairie, and the Jieli family is afraid that they will not be able to hold so many people, and it must be the coalition army of the grassland. ”

Among the three, only Feng Xue's face remained unchanged, and he said coldly: "No matter how many people he comes, he can't open it even if he is crowded in front of the pass, and at most a few hundred people can attack at a time, it is purely to die." ”

Feng Xiaoxiao smiled bitterly, and said in his heart: "100,000 people! Stand still and stretch your neck for us to kill, how many can you kill? Even if there are 100,000 chickens, a swarm of bees rushing up to me can trample me to death. What's more, marching and fighting is by no means as simple as rushing up and fighting. ”

"What are they doing?" Feng Xue pointed to the other side of the valley and asked puzzledly.

Feng Xiaoxiao stared a little and said, "They are logging and camping, not ......"

His face changed sharply, and he said, "This is planning to set fire to the mountain!" Jieli must have known that the Tang army had abandoned the pass, which should just be a precaution. If there is no resistance, there will be no fire. ”

Concubine Xuan looked at her with a solemn expression: "If they set fire to the two mountains in the northeast, although the flames cannot directly threaten us, but the smoke will sweep down the wind, let alone defend, and even the city wall will be difficult to stand." ”

Feng Xiaoxiao said: "If Li Tang's army does not evacuate, just push down some rolling stones from the mountain, and they can cry and call their mother, and they will die in a large area, not to mention burning the mountain, and they will not even be able to set up the camp." ”

The concubine bowed her head and was silent.

Feng Xiaoxiao continued quietly: "Li Yuan's letter to Jieli has a secret agreement: if you enter Chang'an, the people's land will be returned to the Tang Dynasty, and the gold and jade silk will be returned to the Turks. If you can save the ministers and not invade the people, the income from the conquest, and the jade silk of your children can be owned by the Khan. ”

His words were full of resentment, as if to say, "This is the gate valve that you Cihang Jingzhai supports, and it is so virtuous." ”

You must know that when he and Shi Zhixuan, the two demon demons, were playing conspiracy, they did everything possible to prevent the Turks from disturbing the situation! Li Yuan actually dared to lead a foreign invasion, and he didn't care about the safety of the Central Plains at all, just caring about the chaos of his Li family.

The concubine sighed: "The dead are gone, and the concubine's noise is irrefutable. ”

Of course, the deceased refers to Li Shimin, and she is indicating that Cihang Jingzhai supports only Li Shimin, not Li Valve.

Feng Xiaoxiao sneered: "Even if he doesn't die, Li Xiaozi will inevitably kill his brother and father in the end, this kind of behavior, I can really welcome him on behalf of the Demon Gate, let him be the evil emperor." ”

"Those who have achieved great things throughout the ages, who are not ruthless, all obstacles that stand in the way of the emperor's throne will be removed, otherwise they will not be qualified to be emperors at all! This truth is naturally well understood. ”

Concubine Xuan raised her head calmly, stared into Feng Xiaoxiao's eyes and said, "Concubine Huo has already surrendered, and there is no need to argue between right and wrong." I only hope that my husband can leave some space for the concubine and the concubine's teacher to practice meditation with peace of mind, and other than that, I don't expect much favor. ”

Feng Xiaoxiao saw that her eyes were clear and firm, and she couldn't help but sigh secretly, and said in her heart: "Concubine Huo still has more heart for her teacher." ”

Shi Fei Xuan seemed to sense what he was thinking, took half a step closer to him, almost reached his arms, bowed his head and said in a trembling voice: "If you change places, Concubine Huo will also leave a space for Feng Lang to retreat with peace of mind, and accompany him left and ......right."

A few wisps of blush spread out on her jade-white fairy countenance, although she was intimate with Feng Xiaoxiao, she was still not suitable for revealing her heart in broad daylight, and she was inevitably shy.

Feng Xiaoxiao gently took her hand, and sure enough, she was silent.

Feng Xue snorted coldly, and said coquettishly as if he was punned: "The rats are bold and will not escape death." Suddenly, he grabbed a giant sword with a dark red hue from behind his back, jumped down, and the white skirt fluttered in the wind, like a fairy volley, dragging the magic weapon in his hand, and crashing into the mortal world.

Rounding the pass, the dozens of Turkic knights who had explored first were all stunned, and then their heads flew up in pieces, and the blood on their necks shot like mist, which was even more bright red than the sunset reflected in the setting sun...... (To be continued.) )
