Of course, Meng Wei didn't go to find any demon sects, but to Hong Chengchou. It's just that if Qin Shuhuai sent people to look for him from the beginning, it would inevitably arouse the suspicion of the Demon Sect. So he simply waited for the Demon Sect to come up and ask for someone, and then used the topic to play, and sent troops to find Hong Chengchou in a big way.

Wu Lie only said that Qin Shuhuai was cautious, and he still refused to believe in this sect, so he smiled bitterly, "Gang Master Qin, you are really too worried! Okay, okay, then you can let people take a look and see if they can find the person I teach in front of you." ”

Qin Shuhuai smiled and said, "Lord Wu Qi, the lives of more than 40,000 soldiers are at stake, Ben Hou should be careful, and please don't be surprised." You can rest assured, if you go for a while, after Ben Hou is sure that you have not violated the agreement, he will naturally release him. ”

Wu Lie had no choice but to return to his team and report the matter to Zhao Ju.

The brigade moved on.

Let's say that Meng Wei ran all the way with the horse whistle, passed through Pingxiang, and went straight to Gongjing. After arriving in Gongjing, I found that Gongjing County was already under martial law.

This shows that Hong Chengchou did not receive news from Zhao Wu'er and the Xiaochengjing master, but only arrived at Gongjing according to last night's agreement.

Meng Wei hurriedly took out the token and identity document and handed them to the defenders, and the defenders immediately went in to inform Hong Chengchou as soon as they saw it.

Hong Chengchou quickly brought people out in person, he had seen Meng Wei, so he recognized him from a distance.

Meng Wei was not polite to Hong Chengchou, and immediately said after meeting, "Lord Hong, Master Hou ordered you to lead troops to ambush in this area, and soon the 15,000 troops of the Demon Sect will come over!"

When Hong Chengchou heard this, he immediately said, "Okay! General Meng invited him to the county government and went to the staff with his own officer to see where the ambush was appropriate. ”

Meng Wei originally had to wait for Hong Chengchou to decide on the ambush location before he could go back and report to Qin Shuhuai, so he said without hesitation, "Okay, let's go in quickly." ”

The two entered the county office, compared the map, and after a brief discussion, quickly determined the best ambush location, that is, a place called "Silinggou" ten miles west of Gongjing.

After deciding, Meng Wei immediately ran back non-stop.

About three o'clock in the morning, Qin Shuhuai led the army to Liangping, which was more than fifty miles away from Lanzhou City.

Along the way, Wu Lie came to ask several times, but each time he was prevaricated by Qin Shuhuai for various reasons.

When he arrived in Liangping, the Demon Sect couldn't bear it anymore and was about to give Qin Shuhuai an ultimatum. saw that Qin Shuhuai was unusual, and actually took the initiative to stop and said that he wanted to hand over the hostages.

Soon, Qin Shuhuai returned the Demon Sect's Left Protector Zhao Wuxian to the Demon Sect. The reason why he kept the ambassador apprentice instead of Zhao Wuxian with a higher status was because he felt that the cultivation of the ambassador apprentice was higher than Zhao Wuxian.

So the ambassador must die!

Before leaving, Zhao Wuxian glanced at Qin Shuhuai with the eyes of a yin owl.

Qin Shuhuai didn't care, and hugged his fist at Zhao Wuxian with a smile on his face, "Zhao Protector, we will have a meeting later!"

After the Demon Sect welcomed back Zhao Wuxian, they immediately untied him and untied him. After seeing that Zhao Wuxian was not seriously injured, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The medicinal effect of the Ten Spices Soft Tendon Powder lasted for three hours, and at this time, Zhao Wuxian's true qi had not yet recovered, and it was still only seventy percent of the original, but he still accompanied the army.

The team moved on.

It didn't take long for Meng Wei to return.

Walking to Qin Shuhuai's side, he lowered his voice and said, "Master Hou, Hong Chengchou really didn't receive the news, presumably Zhao Wu'er and they were killed." ”

Qin Shuhuai's heart sank, although he hadn't seen these two people a few times, he was still a little distressed.

Meng Wei continued, "However, his subordinates found Hong Chengchou in Gongjing, and agreed with him to lay an ambush in Silinggou west of Gongjing, and we will go along the current road, just passing through there. ”

Qin Shuhuai bowed slightly, indicating that he understood.

Continuing to move forward, about a quarter of an hour later, Wu Lie came to urge again.

"Gang Leader Qin, you have been out of the city for sixty miles, you should return the ambassador apprentice to us. ”

Qin Shuhuai said with a dark face, "It's only been a while, why did you come to ask for someone again? What kind of trick are you playing?"

"Gang Leader Qin, it's obvious that you have been delaying again and again, how can you blame us again? Just as the so-called big husband stands up to the sky, saying one thing or another, the Qin Gang Leader is known as the leader of the martial arts alliance and is a hero who is famous all over the world, isn't he trying to backtrack?" Wu Lie said excitedly.

Qin Shuhuai smiled like a scoundrel, "Lord Wu, did you say that sixty miles is already sixty miles?

"This ......" Wu Lie was suddenly speechless.

Qin Shuhuai said non-negotiably, "Don't worry, my task is to leave safely with the brothers. Go a little further, and I'll let you go." ”

Wu Lie had no choice but to go back again to report to Zhao Wuxian.

Sixty miles further on, this is beyond the bottom line of the Demon Sect.

Zhao Wuxian thought for a moment and said, "Let them walk for another ten miles." If they still refuse to let them go, we will have to do all kinds of difficult things, and the ambassadors will surely forgive us. ”

Everyone in the Demon Sect was slightly shocked when they heard this.

At this time, Qin Shuhuai called Meng Wei and whispered a few words to him, Meng Wei nodded, and immediately patted his horse and rushed to the front of the team.

The team soon arrived at Silinggou.

The so-called Silinggou, as the name suggests, is a depression surrounded by four mountains, and the road they walked through the four mountains just crossed.

Hong Chengchou led an army of 30,000 and ambushed halfway up the four mountains.

Watching the fire dragon composed of countless torches slowly pass underneath, Hong Chengchou gently pressed the saber on his waist, and a trace of excitement appeared on his face.

Since the Demon Sect started its army, it has been like a bamboo, and it has swept through Gansu rapidly, and the official army has not yet won a victory. However, tonight's uneven officers and soldiers can take a big victory!

With this great victory, they are bound to deal a severe blow to the arrogance of the Demon Sect and temporarily block the offensive of the Demon Sect, so that their threat to Shaanxi will be much smaller.

Hong Chengchou was originally worried that the official army in Lanzhou City would not be able to withdraw, and the official army would be forced to fight a decisive battle with the Demon Sect near Lanzhou City. As soon as the decisive battle begins, the officers and troops are bound to be more than lucky. If the official army is defeated, the Demon Sect will inevitably sweep through Shaanxi with Gao Yingxiang, and he, the governor of Shaanxi, will be anxious at that time.

But he never expected that the situation in Lanzhou City would change so drastically in just a few days. This magical Marquis of Qin actually brought out the officials and soldiers in the city safe and sound, and he also brought a piece of fat meat with him!

If the 15,000-strong army of the Demon Sect can be eaten, the Eastern Offensive of the Demon Sect will inevitably suffer a huge blow! Moreover, as long as the officers and troops in Lanzhou City withdraw to the Guyuan and Pingliang areas, they will be able to form the eastern barrier of Shaanxi together with the 110,000 martial arts coalition troops, and even if the Demon Sect has great ability, it will not want to invade Shaanxi in a short period of time.

As long as the Demon Sect doesn't come, he can start to exterminate Gao Yingxiang's department first. In this way, the situation in Shaanxi can be determined!

Dingshaan, and then counterattack Gansu, how can tens of thousands of demon sects be afraid!

Hong Chengchou, who is eloquent and strategic, knows better than anyone the significance of this ambush battle. At this moment, a pair of dark eyes sparkled on his calm face.

The Ming army of 45,000 men was in three parallel columns, and the team was six or seven kilometers long. The 15,000 people of the Demon Sect in the back are two or three kilometers long.

Meng Wei passed Qin Shuhuai's order to Cao Wenzhao, although Cao Wenzhao was the chief soldier and all the troops were under his command, he had already regarded Qin Shuhuai as the supreme commander and immediately arranged for the troops to do the same.

The soldiers of the Ming army in front of the team, when they had just entered the Siling Valley, immediately divided into two groups and ambushed on the left and right sides of the road.

The Ming soldiers behind them immediately followed suit, and ambushed them along both sides of the road.

Therefore, it seems that the team is still moving forward without hurry, but in fact, the Ming army in front of it is already ambushed on both sides of the road.

These all happened quietly a few kilometers away in the dark, and the Demon Sect soldiers were all following behind the Ming army, so naturally there was no way to know.

Before, some of the Demon Sect soldiers wanted to rush to the front of the Ming army, but on the spot, Qin Shuhuai asked the Demon Sect if they wanted to flank the Ming army back and forth, and they also put on a posture that they were about to kill hostages and start a war with the Demon Sect. The Demon Sect naturally did not want to intensify the contradictions, so it had to give up. In order to keep the plan secret, Qin Shuhuai also sent Meng Wei, Zhiren, Wang Datong, Shangshui, Sun Bai, Chang Wuji and other masters to secretly investigate, and strictly prevent individual masters of the Demon Sect from running to the front of the team. However, the Demon Sect knew Qin Shuhuai's shrewdness, and he was afraid that he would be killed if he didn't do a good job, so he didn't make any small moves - except that before leaving, they secretly let a thousand Rui Golden Banner people turn into ordinary soldiers and blend into the team.

In the Demon Sect team, Zhao Wuxian had naturally taken over the supreme command of the team.

Seeing that he had been out of the city for more than seventy miles, he found Jin Gang and quietly instructed in a cold tone.

Jin Gang's eyes immediately flickered, looking surprised and unable to refute.

Both sides have their own calculations, and both are about to have a showdown.
