Chapter 455: Direct to the sky and up to the ladder

"Why are we on the boat?" Yunluo began to study his current situation.

"Because we are on the river." Qin Lei braided her while saying seriously.

Yunluo giggled and said, "You can't talk to others seriously."

Qin Lei nodded and said seriously: "Because there are people on land who want to capture me."

Yunluo said in surprise: "How could that happen?" Just as he was about to turn his head, Qin Lei pressed his head and said: "Don't shake it around, otherwise it will really not be able to be solved."

Yunluo quickly stopped her head and asked repeatedly: "Why do they want to catch you? You are a good person."

Qin Lei thought about it and decided to tell the truth: "Because I want to go back to China."

"Why do you want to go back?" Yun Luo said strangely: "Isn't it good here?"

"Although Liang Yuan is good, it is not a home for a long time." Qin Lei whispered: "After leaving home alone for a long time, he will always miss his home."

Nodded understandingly, Yunluo said softly: "Tell me to my father, he will definitely agree."

"Your father still expects me to live with him for a long time, how can you let me go back?" Qin Lei shook his head and said in a deep voice: "It's just that he wants to catch me." His words were half true, not intentionally fooling the little girl, but not wanting her to know about those dirty things.

"What can I help you?" Yunluo said seriously: "Although I don't want you to leave, I think you will be happier when you go back."

Qin Lei shook his head and smiled, "No, just follow me honestly."

"Do you want to take me to Qin?" Yunluo asked timidly: "I will miss my father and aunt."

"It's basically impossible," Qin Lei grinned and said, "because we are heading south."

According to the original plan, after leaving the Chu Mountains, he would go directly north along the Chu River and then go west against the river. Although it was under the control of the Chu army, it was also a golden vein. Merchant ships traveled like a lot, and they could catch fish in troubled waters and sneak past.

But as soon as he arrived at the Chu River, he received news from the Southern Chu Intelligence Bureau... The State of Chu closed all waterways overnight, completely isolated the contact with the north, and even the official ships were not allowed to travel. At the same time, a large-scale search and suppression were also being carried out on the land, and it was basically difficult to move forward.

He knew that he had poked a hornet's nest now. He had to order the team to turn around and go south, taking advantage of the time when the Chu people temporarily stared at the north, and to run as far as possible.

Yunluo tied a thick and long braid, like a broomstick. The little girl pouted, but she had no choice because she couldn't tie her up at this level.

After a while of struggle, Yunluo was really hungry, so she picked up the big bowl and ate it in small mouthfuls. She suddenly realized that the mucus was not as unpalatable as she imagined, but was very delicious. The little princess happily ate it.

Qin Lei smiled and turned his gaze to the map. After thinking for a while, he used a charcoal pen to draw a few strokes on the map, and set the marching route for the next day on the woven river network of Nanchu.

It can only be one day, because this place is Gong Liangyu's home court after all. As long as it takes a long time, witnesses will definitely inform him of his whereabouts. Only by constantly changing the marching route and the marching speed can the team be kept hidden.

How to do something unexpected? This is a headache for many commanders. But in Qin Lei, nothing is a problem, because he didn't know where he was going the day before. It was only when he was about to plan the next day when he finished.

Qin Lei's way of marching, which was to do whatever he went, really caused great trouble to Gong Liangyu.

After being attacked by Qin Leisheng from Chushan and escaped safely, Gong Liangyu was just chasing him. He concealed the current situation in Beijing and even sent his subordinates to kill the officers sent by the King of Qi to take over the troops.

He told the officers and soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Army that the enemy that ran away from Chu Mountain was a secret army that the Qin State sneaked into the territory. They robbed and killed the Qi State's mission and committed heinous crimes. His seventh Prince was wise and martial, and designed to catch turtles in a jar, but because of the stupid behavior of some people, this resulted in failure.

In order to enhance the shocking effect, he also forged an imperial edict for the officers to pass it on. The officers saw that the imperial edict really said, "Let your troops annihilate the Qin gangs, and all the seven princes will be led by the seventh prince, and those who violate the order will be killed!" And so on. With the power of the fake imperial edict, he killed seven generals of the Tiger and Leopard Army on the grounds of "unfavorable combat"...of course, including the deputy captain.

This move really scared the Tiger and Leopard Army, who could not be energetic, and used twelve points of strength to pursue the fleeing enemy.

After finally stabilizing the morale of the army and making them obedient, Gong Liangyu was still not happy because he found that Qin Lei was really slippery and moved very quickly. Moreover, countless rivers gave Qin Lei the best hidden secret. Just as the interweaving of countless main streams and tributaries, he was about to catch up several times, but he ran away.

If Gong Liangyu had not played at home, there were many people in China, so he would have been escaped by Qin Yutian for a long time.

After chasing him for a few days, he didn't find a single hair, but he made himself so tired that he could not bear it. It is recommended to predict the enemy's direction of action, set up an ambush in advance, and close the door and beat the dog.

Gong Liangyu thought about it, so he followed his subordinates' advice and thought about Qin Lei's march. Knowing that he was not good at military affairs, he rarely promoted democracy and convened a meeting of generals to let them brainstorm the ambush.

After the ducks were noisy in the water, everyone gave an ideal ambush place, and the reasons were very good... The Qin army was the only way to return to China. Gongliang nodded and ordered the entire army to travel lightly and marches quickly! Be sure to arrive at the ambush place before the enemy arrived. He also gave this operation a nice name, "The Plan of Waiting for Rabbits".

The nightmare between him and the Tiger and Leopard Army also began. The group threw away all their supplies and ran west for more than a hundred miles at the speed of forcing the army day and night. Finally, they arrived at the ambush site on time, guarding by the big tree waiting for the rabbit.

After waiting for three days, the land was deserted, and the rabbits who committed suicide by hitting a tree were not climbing the rabbits. What's more serious is that because the baggage was discarded, the officers and soldiers only carried rations for three days... In other words, they had been out of stock for a day...

Imagine a little bit of it, what it feels like to be in the wilderness with a cold wind, an empty stomach, and waiting for others for several days? It must be very bad.

Just when Gong Liangyu was almost crazy, the White Guard sent the latest information: Someone saw the target and his group heading towards Lingnan... In other words, they did not advance west at all, but continued to move south!

The angry Gong Liangyu scolded the general who had come up with the idea and ordered the troops to go south to pursue him.

But no one moved for a long time, Gong Liangyu was about to have an attack again. The generals around him dissuaded: "The army is extremely tired and hungry, so it is better to take a break and get food on the spot."

Gong Liangyu thought for a while and agreed to take food first. As for rest, he didn't even think about it... Although he was chasing so happily, he actually knew in his heart that he had become a fugitive that the court was going to pursue. As long as he stopped, he might be caught up by Emperor Jingtai's troops and ended this crazy journey.

Absolutely no! Because on his revenge list, there is still one person missing that has not received the punishment he deserves... That is Qin Lei, the bastard who ruined his dream!

So he must lead these five thousand soldiers to find Qin Yutian and complete the last battle in this life!

No matter what means you use!

Although the officers and soldiers complained, he was a prince and had an imperial edict. As the saying goes, "the arm can't twist the thighs." He had no choice but to do it... Fortunately, he could still relax with food.

The so-called "food for food" is the elegant saying of "beating, smashing, looting". Since ancient times, wherever the army receives food, it must be like a bandit passing through the border. Not only is the food fine and soft, but also the big girls and little wives will be "food for food", which has a very bad impact. Therefore, few generals dare to indulge their subordinates to earn food on their own territory.

But Gong Liangyu was obviously not mainstream. He not only openly agreed to his subordinates to take food on the spot, but also promised to give food again after arriving in Lingnan.

Since something happened, his highness was carrying it, why are we still polite? Anyway, the one who was robbed was not our relatives. So, the brave and invincible Tiger and Leopard Army regained their energy and looted eight villages in a row. The soldiers burped with satisfaction, carried their pants, and carried their bags on their way.

The so-called "everything is difficult at the beginning. The most difficult thing for a person is to do bad things for the first time, and then he will get used to it. The Tiger and Leopard Army smashed and snatched all the way south, but the speed is absolutely not slow.

Because they also knew that they had committed a crime, if they did not go south at full speed, they would be surrounded and suppressed by the imperial court's quelling rebellion. To solve this problem, they had to first eliminate the Qin army and then frame the things they had done on the dead. In this way, they could transform from a sinner to a meritorious minister. This is how the Seventh Prince educated them.

Therefore, the officers and soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Army rushed to the road during the day and robbed overnight at night. They almost reached a point where they could not sleep, but were never caught up by the army to quell the rebellion... Of course, this is also related to the fact that the rebellion troops were all infantry.

Gong Liangyu finally successfully kidnapped the Tiger and Leopard Army, forcing them to follow him to the dark side... although that was a dead end.

On the seventh day of November 1, 33, Jingtai, this is a memorable day.

After going through a lot of hardships, Gong Liangyu and his bandit troops finally arrived at Jieyangling. After crossing this section of mountain, they could enter the Lingnan area. Not to mention whether they could meet the Qin army, at least they could rob them quickly.

The already exhausted army raised the last bit of strength and walked into the mountains. They had been away from Chushan for a month and had been chasing the enemy's butt. They had never encountered even a trace of resistance, so they did not take the enemy seriously at all... The officers and soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Army unanimously agreed that it would be easy to destroy them as long as they could find the enemy.

So they didn't send scouts at all, they just kept rushing to the road.

After walking in the rugged and stretchy mountain road for half a day, the group arrived at a place called "Direct to the Sky". This is a small path formed by two mountains. The road is only one meter wide, and there is a towering cliff on both sides, and there is no other way out. Gong Liangyu felt a little uneasy in his heart, and said to the generals around him: "Send the scouts to investigate first and then pass."

Although the general disagreed, he still sent a scout according to his order.

The scouts had long been paralyzed by Ping An all the way. After riding the horse through the mountain road, they turned back and reported: "There is nothing abnormal."

The generals around Gong Liangyu also laughed and said, "Your Highness is too careful. Those stray dogs are just rushing to escape, so how can they have the time to plot against us?" "That's right, we are dozens of times the enemy's army, and they can only be invincible."

After listening to the generals' persuasion, Gong Liangyu laughed at himself for being too concerned and shook his whip and said, "Yes, they can stop and wait for us, which will relieve the trouble of the Lone King." After that, he ordered the team to pass through this dangerous place quickly.

But to be on the safe side, he ordered the team to be divided into ten teams, one team for every five hundred people. After the first team passed this "direct to the sky", the second team followed. In this way, even if there was any ambush, the entire army would not be wiped out.

But this is very time-consuming. After the entire army passed, two hours had passed and the sun was far west.

Seeing that there was no danger, the generals whispered, "Coward, blindly command." Someone said tactfully, "Your Highness, we have to speed up, otherwise we have to sleep in this mountain valley."

Gong Liangyu felt a little embarrassed and did not dismiss his subordinates' opinions.

The soldiers also wanted to get out of this ghost place earlier, so they quickly returned to normal speed.

By the afternoon, the team marched to a place called "Ladder to Heaven". The road was more than a wide one. On the left was a towering and smooth mountain wall, and on the right was an abyss where the bottom was invisible. It was also a dangerous place.

But this time Gong Liangyu stopped talking. He hated others' idiot-looking eyes the most in his life, so although he was worried, he forced himself to speak and instead urged the team to pass quickly.

Everyone believed that since it was confirmed that there was no danger just now, the enemy must have escaped. So the officers and soldiers stepped onto the ladder with confidence and boldness... Of course, they should also pay attention to the road beneath their feet to avoid falling off the cliff.

In such a dangerous place, the speed naturally could not be increased. Thousands of people were crowded on the narrow mountain road and slowly moved forward. Even Gong Liangyu was blocked inside and could not move forward and retreat, so he had to move slowly.

He looked forward in annoyance and saw that the vanguard was finally passing through this haunted ladder. He was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but he heard a huge roar from the cliff!

The officers and soldiers looked up in horror and saw countless stones as big as millstones rolling down from the top of the mountain, especially the falling rocks at both ends were the most dense!

"I've been trapped!" Gong Liangyu screamed, but was immediately annihilated by louder shouts, roars and wails.

The huge rocks rumbled down, and immediately smashed many soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Army into meat paste. More people were injured by the dense gravel that rushed down like raindrops, and fell to the ground and screamed repeatedly.

The soldiers who survived wanted to escape from the ladder that had become hell on earth, but the crowd was completely in chaos. They were crowded, pushed, and even used weapons to greet them to block their way. Many people were squeezed, bumped, pushed, chopped, and even fell directly from the cliff.

The chaos of the people finally shocked the horses. The riotous war horses began to run around on one side of the cliff and the cliff on the mountain road. These usually docile and obedient partners turned into wild beasts that took lives, knocked down and slashed countless officers and soldiers... The narrow mountain road could no longer accommodate this group of people who were overturned by horses. Countless war horses and officers and soldiers fell off the cliff like dumplings, and fell to pieces.
