    However, the more Huang Mingzhen thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. His brother was so solemn before leaving, and it would not be without purpose.  He firmly believed that as long as he searched carefully again, he would definitely find this road hidden in front of everyone.

    My brother once said that there is no road in this world, but when there are more people walking on it, it becomes a road.  In fact, a surprise attack by an army from no road to a road is not an exception in history.  During the Three Kingdoms period, the famous Wei general Deng Ai led his army from Yinping to the east along the Jinggu Road. They left Jiange for more than 200 miles south, crossed more than 700 miles of uninhabited dangerous territory, and unexpectedly arrived at Jiangyou City, where they forced the Shu army to land.  The guard general Ma Miao has achieved eternal feats as a precedent.

    Huang Mingyuan’s world-wide fame began with the Battle of Yinshan. Although no one knew how Huang Mingyuan defeated the Turkic Yinshan Corps in this battle, Huang Mingzhen knew it clearly.  At the beginning, the Sui army took advantage of the unknown Yinshan Trail. Zheng Yanqing and Hu Lusheng led their troops through the Yinshan Mountains to attack directly behind the Turks, and then they defeated the Turks army.

    Since the Sui army could do it, why can't the Turks do it?

    This kind of thing relies on chance. Others have been in Yinshan for a lifetime and have not found this road. My brother has been away for two months and used this road to fight a victory that will be remembered by history.

    Huang Mingzhen judged this, and immediately arranged for everyone to inquire and search south of Muxia Pass to see if they could find this road.  Although everyone was puzzled, they had no choice but to obey.

    Everyone searched for it for several days, but couldn't find it.

    Seeing that time passed little by little, they were wasting their time here. Finally, someone came forward to persuade them: "General, I have been in Lingzhou for a long time and have never heard that Longshan is passable. General, why not come here?"  It’s a waste of time, but it’s better to go south to Xiaoguan to fight the Turks.”

    Huang Mingzhen’s cronies also think this is a useless effort.  If Huang Mingzhen stays at Muxia Pass, someone may accuse Huang Mingzhen of fearing the enemy like a tiger. If something goes wrong, the responsibility will most likely be placed on Huang Mingzhen. Therefore, everyone is urging Huang Mingzhen to go south quickly.

    But Huang Mingzhen was stubborn and firmly disagreed.

    Huang Mingzhen decided to personally lead people to the surrounding sparsely populated villages to search for hunters and woodcutters, and he might be able to find a way.

    This day Liu Yunfang heard from an old hunter that he had a way into the mountains for hunting that no one else knew.  However, the old hunter only lived in Yuanzhou. He usually only went into the mountains for a few dozen miles and then returned. He never dared to go inward, so he didn't know where the unknown path led to.

    Huang Mingzhen’s eyes lit up after hearing this. I’m afraid that this is the path the Turks took.

    Mountain darkly, vista.

    This poem is not only a portrayal of Huang Mingzhen’s path-finding, but also a portrayal of the entire Longshan Trail.  If you don't see it with your own eyes, others won't believe it.

    Huang Mingzhen deployed his army at Muxia Pass and led dozens of mounted guards to look inside.  The entire Longshan Trail is extremely difficult and dangerous with steep mountains, high mountains and deep valleys.

    The entire path is entangled in mountains, making it almost impossible to find the path.  But every time you reach the end of the mountain, it seems like there is no way to go, but there are always some trails that can help you cross the mountain and reach the back of the mountain.

    Huang Mingzhen led his guards forward for forty or fifty miles. Although he had not yet seen where the front led, he was already convinced that the Turks were taking this road.

    Although the other party was well disguised, the discarded objects along the road were not something ordinary woodcutters or hunters would find. It proved that the Turks had been here.

    Liu Yunfang persuaded Huang Mingzhen and others to take this route and go straight inward to Qianyuan, so as to block the Turks' return route, but Huang Mingzhen rejected it.

    Although the Turks are now winning steadily, Huang Mingzhen is convinced that the opponent will choose to return from the Longshan Trail again.  No matter how good the Turks are at fighting, they will never be able to defeat the reinforcements arriving from all directions.  And if the other party wants to transfer the Sui army to Chang'an, and they return from the Longshan Trail, it will really be like breaking through the belly of the Sui army.

    Whether heading south or west, the Longshan Trail is the safest and fastest road.

    Huang Mingzhen stood at the foot of the mountain, looking at the endless mountains, thinking about how to take advantage of the Longshan Trail to eliminate all the Turks here.

    Of course, it would take a lot of effort to completely annihilate the opponent, because Huang Mingzhen could only block one end of the Turks.

    Now in the Longshan Trail, the road is narrow and can only be passed by a single person.  Let alone fighting between the two sides, it will be difficult for the armies on both sides to even meet.

    Although they can block the opponent in the trail, it will not do them any good if the Turks turn around and return.

    And Huang Mingzhen hopes to hide this secret, after all, this can lead directly to customs.The importance of this small road is unimaginable.  It's up to my brother to decide on this matter.

    Therefore, Huang Mingzhen prepared to ambush the Turks from Muxia Pass to the Longshan Trailhead.

    Huang Mingzhen ordered Liu Yunfang to lead his troops to abandon their horses and go up the mountain. They prepared huge rocks and rolled logs to lie down on both sides of the mountain pass.  When most of the Turks came out of the mountain, they blocked the mountain pass with huge rocks and blocked their way back.

    ??And after the Turks left the Longshan Trail, there was not a smooth road to the north, but a large valley called Haizi Gorge.  The terrain here is low, making it a good place for an ambush.

    And Muxia Pass was built at the exit of Haizixia.

    By the time Huang Mingzhen led his army to block Muxia Pass, the Turkic cavalry would be restricted in Haizi Gorge and become a salted fish squeezed in the valley, making it difficult to stand up.

    Huang Mingzhen was afraid that he would not have enough troops, so he hurriedly transferred thousands of infantrymen from Yuanzhou City to prepare to defeat the enemy together.

    The army dug deep fortifications and gathered extensively to prepare for the war.

    But within Longshan, it was another scene.  There are mountains on both sides of the river here, with no gaps at all.  The mountains are stacked on top of each other, hiding the sky and blocking out the sun. Only at noon, when the sun shines directly, can you see the long-lost sky.

    And as Duliu and others continued to advance in Longshan, the Turkic army was exhausted.  Many people contracted malaria because they were exposed to rain and lacked medical treatment.  Throughout the trail, dead Turkic cavalrymen fell from their horses to the ground from time to time. Countless people died along the way.  In order to prevent the dead from blocking the road, Duliu could only order the bodies to be pushed into the mountain stream or burned on the spot.

    Countless corpses fell into the deep valley, leaving behind a "dong" sound that spread for a long time.  The Turkic army was all dejected and demoralized.

    Seeing this situation, Du Liu had no choice but to grit his teeth and ignore it, hoping to get out of this dangerous area as soon as possible.

    After going through many difficulties and dangers, Du Liu and others finally made it out of the Longshan Trail.  Du Liu was filled with joy when he saw the long-lost blue sky in the north of the mountain.  Although everything went wrong, he managed to get over it anyway.

    When the army heard the message from the front, they were also ecstatic, quickened their pace, and jumped out.  Tens of thousands of troops almost left the Longxi Trail in one morning, and the former army was about to reach Muxia Pass.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
