Chapter 40, Ambush
. Those who split my Han territory will be killed without mercy!

"I dare not talk about the opinions, but this province of Sichuan and Shaanxi has fertile land in Hanzhong and is close to the Hetao Plain. It produces many coal, iron and horses. It produces well salt, medicinal materials, wood, and Shu brocade are well-known in the world. How can it be said that there is no economy? Even the wealthy businessmen in Sichuan are not famous in the world, but in fact, the world's wealth is hard to compare with Sichuan. As for culture, Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, the brother of Taizu, was named the first governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi. Although he had only been party and government for more than ten years, he built schools everywhere in Sichuan. Especially the Sichuan Army Military Academy in Chengdu Prefecture, which is the first military academy in the southwest of the empire. What's more, the Meishan engraving industry in Sichuan is developed and is one of the four major engravings in the world. Which Sichuan scholar does not collect more than a hundred books at home, how can he say that there is no culture in Sichuan?" Zhang Ce talked happily, very carefree.
"What you said is reasonable, I actually know these sisters, hehe..." Roland smiled.
"You guys know so much about Sichuan. You can tell that Qingcheng Mountain and Emei Mountain in Sichuan are the holy places of my Taoism." Old Taoist Lin Qingping said in a show of his thoughts.
"Brother Dao, Qingcheng Mountain is a holy land of Taoism, but Emei Mountain is a Buddhist..." Jiang Zhuying couldn't help but say.
"Uh, Buddha is the Tao. It is said that the little nun from Mount Emei practices very well. I really want to see it..." Old Taoist Lin blushed and started running the train with his mouth.
"There are no nuns in the Emei Sect, only Master Miejue, who is just right for Brother Dao!" Lei Dongfeng gritted his teeth.
"Master, whether it's good or not..." the old Taoist smiled shamelessly.
"Around the mountain in front, it is the first gate to enter the river, Dasan Pass, and there are more than twenty miles." After walking for a few more miles, Zhang Ce looked at the map in his hand and said.
"It's great. The whole army accelerates, pay attention to safety, and strive to enter the pass before dinner." Lei Dongfeng ordered.
"There are birds circling in the woods ahead, and there may be ambushing." Li Ruoxi suddenly said coldly.
Lei Dongfeng looked up and saw the mountains and forests in the distance, and there were birds circling, but they were not falling.
"Come here, go and call Commander Jing!" If you are familiar with the mountainous areas, no one here can compare to Jing Zhan and Li Yan.
Li Yan was in the central army and Ma Hongluan to fight against each other, while Jing Zhan kept leading the detective cavalry to explore the way forward.
"Lei Head..." In just a moment, Jing Zhan came to the front of him. It turned out that he had discovered something was wrong and was about to give him a reward.
"Mingyang, what's the situation?" Lei Dongfeng asked Jing Zhan.
"There are about a hundred people lying in the woods ahead. It looks like the local horse gang, but the target seems not us!" Jing Zhan replied.
"Not us?" Jiang Zhuying asked.
"Yes, because they were ambushing each other, and the most important thing is that our army is so powerful that if the other party is planning to be ill, these people will definitely not be the only ones." Jing Zhan said.
"Mingyang's words are reasonable, so now do they find out we are?" Lei Dongfeng asked again.
"It shouldn't be. Our army is slow in this time and there is little movement. Moreover, the forest seems to be very close, but it is actually half a mountain away. If I hadn't just entered the forest to search, it would have been difficult to find them." Jing Zhan said.
"This horse gang seems to be a refugee, but in fact it is mostly local chieftains, and the powerful are secretly funded by this horse gang with more than 100 people. Therefore, the people they ambush must be not ordinary people. The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole are behind us, so we can watch the fun." Zhang Ce smiled.
"Well, everyone dismounted and stopped moving forward. Please come to the front team. Justice, please ask you and Duan Zhao and Lin Jia to support the team here. Zhuying and Brother Dao, and I will go ahead to see the fun." Lei Dongfeng was also in great interest.
In the quiet jungle and lush grass and trees, hundreds of figures are running around in it.
These people seemed to be scattered while walking, but they formed a formation of 30 to 300, and their movements were strictly prohibited. They were obviously from being a soldier.
Suddenly, a slightly thin and strong man walking in the front raised his hand, and the people behind him hid themselves one after another.
The man was Jing Zhan. His movements were light and fast, like a cheetah. He quickly climbed up a big tree, looked into the distance, and then slid down silently.
"Leitou, a convoy came from the official road ahead. It should be the target of these men in black ambushing." Jing Zhan said.
"Wait until they do something, and see what's going on." Lei Dongfeng ordered that the southwest forces were complicated, and Lei Dongfeng didn't want to get into trouble easily.
"The Grand Tutor Ugo said this time. The turtle surnamed Ling eats weights and is determined to go against Grand Tutor Ugo all the way with Old Man Liu. Since he is the rival of Grand Tutor Ugo, he is my rival! I happened to meet him here today. Don't let him run away. As long as you take him down, it will be equivalent to cutting off Old Man Liu's wealth. You will be kind to the grand Tutor Ugo later. Don't let one person and one horse besides. Grab one with the surname Ling, and just use it as a New Year gift to Grand Tutor! The first person to catch the Grand Tutor, I personally take charge of the Grand Tutor, and I want to reward money. Well, give a hundred kilograms of salt and a hundred gold coins!" In the woods, a big man cheered and encouraged a group of men wearing brown earthen clothes and cloth scarves.
"Brother Yang Yao insists on getting it. I will tell that guy that he will never come back today." With the heavy reward, the morale of the men was high.
"Here you come!" a man in front of him looked back.
"Shoot me!" As Brother Yang finished speaking, a sparse rain of arrows flew from the woods to the official road down.
Although the arrow rain was not dense, due to the steep and narrow road, there was a cliff on the other side. It was too late to defend, and forty or fifty people who came up the mountain road had nowhere to escape, and most of them were killed or injured in an instant.
These men actually use crossbow arrows!
"Go ahead, capture Ling Jiyang alive!" A hundred men in brown clothes roared down the hillside.
"What are you going to do?" A middle-aged man whose hair was a little gray and whose guards desperately protected him, shouted to them.
"What are you doing? The funny question of black, don't you know who you have offended?" a Chinese character said with a grim smile.
"Lao Liu, please talk more!" The Brother Yang glared.
"I understand, it's time for the thief who wants to rebel!" The middle-aged man said angrily.
"Mr. Ling, follow us honestly to avoid suffering." Brother Yang ignored the anger of the person in front of him and said coldly.
"Are you just obsessed with the king's laws? This is still the land of the Han Dynasty, so you dare to be so unscrupulous?" said Mr. Ling Jiyang.
"Haha, great man? Now I heard that the Western coalition has broken through the border and the empire is too busy to take care of itself. How could it be in charge of this place? Even if it is in charge of this place, a pedantic guy like Old Man Liu will sooner or later be the dead souls of Lord Wugo! You don't have to worry about the great man. Be honest, put down your weapons and follow us with these men!" Brother Yang lost his patience a little. With a wave of his hand, the men around him were about to draw their swords to face each other.
