A green river flows from north to south on the red and yellow land, and then goes 90 degrees in a small town with only hundreds of households and runs eastward. This town is called Raka, which is the westernmost town in the Mesopotamia region of Daliang. Then to the west is the northern part of the Syrian province of Rome. The green river is the Euphrates River. It flows upwards and enters the Roman province of Asia Minor in the north.

At this time, in the town of Raqqa, some Persian soldiers of the Liang army were shouting and shouting, driving the crowds on the streets to watch the fun. It turned out that hundreds of Liang army ships were moored on the river surface outside the dock of the Euphrates River. There were also Viking warships suitable for inland navigation, as well as Viking warships. A large number of Liang army soldiers were climbing the river bank from the ships. They were Liang soldiers from the Far East. The natives in the town had never seen these yellow-skinned and dark-haired people in their lives, so they went out to see the strange things, forcing the local government office to send Persian local soldiers to maintain the order.

The troops landed were Zhao Yun's army, and they were ordered by Feng Yu to reinforce Alexander. As planned, he should have gone to Beirut to meet with Alexander, but Alexander suddenly wrote to him that the front line was tight and asked the reinforcements to directly attack the battlefield at the junction of Syria and Asia Minor, attack and kill the enemy from the side and back, breaking the deadlock that had lasted for several months. Zhao Yun led his troops on a boat to go west along the Euphrates River and landed here.

More than two hours later, all personnel and equipment landed. At Zhao Yun's order, nearly 4,000 people drove westward in a mighty manner. Three days later, they saw a mountain range towering into the clouds covered with red rocks standing in front, which was the Lebanese Mountains that stretched for hundreds of miles on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean.

A Persian general of Zhao Yun's guide said to him: "Report to the head coach, there is the Lebanese Mountains ahead, and at 10 o'clock the way is the Hama Pass in the Lebanese Mountains. We should be able to arrive in another two hours."

Zhao Yun had already tied the reins and said, "No, we won't go that road."

The Persian deputy general was puzzled: "But coach, this Hama Pass is the only way to the Mediterranean coast plain."

"Precisely because it is a necessary route, the enemy must have heavy troops in the mountain gate, so why should we hit it up? We don't even need to send scouts to avoid alarming the snake."

"It is not easy to climb this mountain that thousands of people have hundreds of battles high without taking this road. No, it is not easy, it is almost impossible."

Zhao Yun smiled and said, "As long as there are mountains, there will be roads, it depends on whether people can find them." Then, he said coldly: "Transfer our military orders to select twenty mountain scouts. The two of them went into the mountains in groups to find a way to cross this mountain range and stay away from the Hama Pass. Who can find the most suitable one? There are many rewards." Ling Bingnuo said and left.

The army waited for two or three hours, and these ten groups of soldiers successively rewarded them. Six of them did not find a way to allow thousands of troops to pass through. Zhao Yun summarized the information of the other four and chose one of the most suitable roads.

Under the leadership of this group of scouts, Zhao Yun's army soon arrived at the eastern foot of the Lebanese Mountains. After the army was arranged, it was divided into two rows, and the cavalry also dismounted and led the horses, following the two scouts on the mountain road.

This road is said to be the most suitable road, but in fact it is just that you don’t need to climb rocks and walls. The mountain road is extremely narrow and rugged, and there is no need to think about chariots and supplies, and you can’t pass such a road at all. Zhao Yun’s countermeasure was to build a camp at the foot of the mountain and be stationed by the baggage troops. All the chariots and supplies were kept in the camps. Some heavy equipment could only be temporarily idle in these camps. The rest of the supplies could only be transported by soldiers and horses shoulders and backs.

A gray-bearded deputy general walked seven or eight miles on such a mountain road and asked Zhao Yun: "Master, it is indeed no problem for us to turn over such a mountain road. But even if the logistics supply is cut off, how much material can this horseback carry?"

This person is Zhao Yun’s old subordinate for decades, so if you have any questions, you can say it without any scruples. Zhao Yun smiled slightly and said, “Old Wu, let’s go over the mountains, launch a raid from behind, defeat the main force of the enemy, and then return to the army to seize the Hama Pass. Isn’t the logistics problem solved? In addition, Alexander’s army can provide us with certain supplies. This time can be completed in up to three days, and each of our soldiers brought enough dry food, saving some food for five days is enough.”

Old Wu was still shaking his head and muttering: "But this is still too risky, too risky..." When he looked up, Zhao Yun had already arrived in front of the team and disappeared.

Zhao Yun stood at the height of the hillside at the western foot of the Lebanon Mountains and looked down, and saw lush green patches, which were in sharp contrast to the red and yellow desolation of the eastern foot. The sparkling blue Mediterranean Sea can also be seen in the distance. It is the water vapor in the Mediterranean Sea blocked by the Lebanese mountains that formed this kind of humid and rainy west and drought and rainy east.

Zhao Yun originally thought that the west and east of the mountain were also bare and exposed rocks. Then the possibility of the army being discovered by the enemy soldiers patrolling the plains to the west of the mountain when they went down the mountain would be very high. This was the only flaw in his plan. Now that he saw this scene, his previous worries also disappeared.

After the Liang army quietly descended to the coastal plain west of the mountains, they turned south and rushed towards the battlefield between Alexander's army and Macrinus army.

A cavalry team with eagle flags was riding along a road on the coast. They were a patrol team of the Macrinus army, with about twenty cavalry up and down. The general in charge suddenly frozen his expression and his eyes were filled with fear. Two hundred steps away, a large number of strange troops emerged from the woods and appeared in his sight.

The general said hurriedly: "There is an enemy situation! Return to the camp quickly and report to the upward peak!" As soon as he finished speaking, dozens or hundreds of fast riders rode out of the opponent's team, and obviously they also discovered them.

The Roman general and more than 20 soldiers had turned their heads around. At this time, dozens of black objects appeared in the space and shot towards them. Recently, they could clearly hear the sound of breaking through the air. Before more than ten people could react, they were shot through their bodies by heavy arrows on the long bow.

The Roman general survived and led the remaining survivors to gallop. At this moment, two huge black shadows in the air swooped down, and the heads of the Roman general and another soldier were scratched by the huge claws of the Liang Jun Haster giant eagle.
