"Report to the general that Zhu Biao led his troops back to rescue Jiufeng. They have now reached the mouth of Hulukou in Weishui, and are still twenty miles away from leaving the mountain."
"Can you see Zhu Biao with your own eyes?" Fan Chunju was greatly refreshed when he heard that the Han army was returning.
"I saw it with my own eyes," the scout who spoke before, a man dressed as a mountain man, replied in a loud voice.
"Okay! Go down and receive the reward." Fan Chunju raised his hand and waved, and the scout immediately stepped back with a smile. "Little thief Zhu Biao, this time I will rank you high and low to avenge my shame in Zhongshan." Thinking of this month.
When he saw the performance of the Zhongshan Army when he faced Zhu Biao, Fan Chunju could not help but feel furious.
"Come here! Here is my general order for the entire army to stop all chores and recharge their batteries in preparation for a decisive battle with Zhu Biao. The scouts will closely monitor the Han army in Shajing and not miss the movement of a single soldier."
"Yes, General."
Forgot to mention, the current Zhongshan Army is sitting in Anxi in Jiufeng City. Fan Chunju's army descended to Jiufeng, and in conjunction with the "non-violent non-cooperation movement" of the residents in the city, Gao Xie did not even hit a single one, and turned around
So the whole army withdrew from the city and headed towards the manhole.
Between Ganhekou and Shajing, Gao Xie chose the latter after some consideration.
In a mountain forest more than 20 miles outside Dashun Pass.
After running all night, before dawn, Zhu Biao led a thousand Han troops and hundreds of Zhongshan people who were held hostage and finally entered the mountain forest.
"General Zhu, I will personally go to Dashun Pass to inquire about it." The sky turned white, and Shi Tianba had just finished interrogating the people he caught along the way. The situation he got was consistent with what his army had control. He just used his hands free.
Prepare to explore towards Dashunguan.
The accent in Muzhou is almost the same as the local accent in Yuzhou. Zhu Biao himself can't tell the difference. In Shi Tianba's words - they have the same origin and the same voice, and the difference is not something that ordinary people can hear and taste.
.Compared with Zhu Biao's somewhat tough Yanzhou accent, Shi Tianba and his group are indeed suitable candidates in the army to investigate Dashunguan.
A round of rising sun rises from the east. The gentle sunshine shines on a small river not far from Dashun Pass, and actually reflects some bright spots of light.
The Zhongshan soldiers at the head of the city had already eaten their meals and were standing in their respective positions in high spirits - a day without fighting is a good day!
It's much more comfortable in Dashunguan than in Changpingsai. I don't have to be tense all day long, which is one of the great joys in life.
After hearing the news yesterday that Zhu Biao had divided his army to advance eastward and led the main force to withdraw, everyone from Dashunguan City to Zhao Tong and Zhang Shian, as well as to the ordinary soldiers and civilians, breathed a sigh of relief. They were nervous.
The extremely nervous nerves suddenly relaxed, and the feeling of laziness all over the body was really comfortable!
There was little smoke from the kitchens below the city, but thousands of people were making fires to cook.
Ever since Zhu Biao came out of Ningwu Valley, there has been some instability in Weizhong. After the partial army named Yang reached Sanshi and Gaoming counties, thousands of people cheered and flocked to Dashun Pass. This is where the Zhongshan Army
The people of Zhongshan Kingdom feel safe. Although it is only less than two days, it seems that there will be more and more people. Even wealthy families have fled to seek asylum. Of course, most people are living a good life.
It's even more difficult.
Zhao Tong refused the common people to enter the city, but people's hearts are full of flesh, and the Zhongshan Kingdom has not yet reached the point of moral collapse and subjugation, and the army does not yet have the common bloodbath and violence that does not take the lives of the people seriously like the end of the dynasty.
The generals who killed indiscriminately, while making strict preparations, used a lot of food to feed the victims outside the city.
Another reason here is that there is such a large circle of refugees outside Dashunguan, which is a natural early warning circle. Even if Zhu Biaojun comes to the city, he needs to drive away these refugees first if he wants to raid Guancheng.
In this way, the momentum was great, and the city was naturally prepared.
Part of the grain and rice were given by the Zhongshan Army in the city, and the large pots and tents were also given by the Zhongshan Army in the city. These people were originally from Zhongshan, and their hearts must be biased towards the Zhongshan Army.
The faint smoke rising from cooking stoves made the lifeless refugee area under Guanxia seem a little lively.
"As expected." Shi Tianba, who was dressed in civilian clothes, ordinary but very clean, looked at the thousands of Zhongshan people outside Dashunguan City and secretly shouted in his heart.
Yang Yanzhang's troops first Zhu Biao's troops arrived at the three stones in one day, and then quickly took away the three stones. In the second county of Gaoming, Zhu Biao could guess the scene at Dashun Pass without even using his brain to think about it. In order to prevent spies, the Zhongshan Army
If you want to enter the city, you will certainly not open the door to admit all the refugees.
With such a large group of people gathering outside, it was an inevitable choice.
"Come on, come closer to me and take a look." Shi Tianba was followed by seven people dressed the same as him. They were all dressed as civilians and looked neat and tidy. All eight of them also carried knives and swords.
Yeah, he doesn't look like someone who lives in the fields.
Dashunguan City is ten feet high, with a base of three feet and three feet, and a wall head that is six feet wide. Except for the fact that there is no moat under the city and only a moat, it has the appearance of an important border town in the Northern Han Dynasty.
A slight breeze blew by, and several flags with the words "Zhao" and "Zhang" on the top of the city trembled for a while, and then fell silent again.
Shi Tianba looked carefully and saw that there were nearly a hundred Zhongshan soldiers stationed at the city gate tower. There was one battlement every other battlement on both sides of the city wall. There were no less than 400 soldiers on duty on the sides, and there were even more refugees.
The Zhongshan soldiers guarding the district, this is a full set of songs.
Among a group of refugees with miserable faces and sweaty clothes, Shi Tianba and his group of eight people, although not many, were extremely eye-catching. Almost as soon as they entered within one mile of the refugee area, they aroused the attention of some Zhongshan soldiers who were staying among the refugees.
Notice.
As if a shark smelled blood, a veteran glanced at Shi Tianba and the seven people behind him, grinned, and shouted excitedly: "Brothers, let's have fun." After that, he was the first to rush over.
This veteran was a corps commander. When he rushed like this, the four pawns behind him naturally rushed over. They all grinned when they looked at Shi Tianba, who was in good posture, and the eight men were fully equipped with swords.
Powerful family soldiers!
Not only the Zhongshan Army, but also the surrounding refugees gave Shi Tianba and the other eight good impressions.
"Hey! How dare you, who are you, to carry sharp weapons and trespass into important areas of the city?" The veteran who took the lead opened his mouth and shouted, and put a very scary hat on Shi Tianba.
The old soldier had a look, and the four pawns under his command were also smart. "Quickly throw away your weapons and capture us without mercy!" The four of them shouted together, and one of them even made a gesture of taking action.
"Huhu..." The two sword-wielding head catchers flashed in front of Shi Tianba, pressed their hands on the hilts of their swords, and had a fierce look in their eyes.
"Step back with me." Shi Tianba saw the five Zhongshan soldiers on the opposite side shrinking in their eyes, and stepped back. He was afraid that he would really shock them, and it would be really difficult to deal with them if he took action.
"Fellow military lords, I, He Ping, am the guardian of the Gaoming He family." As he said this, Shi Tianba came forward and lowered his hand, and a heavy piece of silver fell into the hands of the veteran. "Gaoming City has fallen, and my He family is here."
I'm in trouble, so I came here to seek shelter and beg for a place to stay. I also asked the military master to help me and lead the way. I will thank you greatly!"
The Gaoming He family can barely be considered a big family in Gaoming County, at least in terms of money, it is not comparable to that of ordinary middle- and lower-level officers. Soldiers like veterans know the background of such powerful people, and they cannot act recklessly.
If we come to talk, the military prince is of high enough rank and the army commander will not lose his status. Moreover, he has been stationed in Yuzhou for many days, Gaoming County is close at hand, and he seems to have heard of the He family's name.
He had seen Shi Tianba wearing a sword and a knife, so he recognized him as a powerful family soldier. Now that the He family matched his subconscious mind, he was completely relieved and no longer had any doubts in his mind.
"This is the responsibility of our country's soldiers. Brother He, please come with me. If you see me, your family will be stunned."
Zhu Biao led his troops to retreat. Although Yang Yanzhang was still restless in the south and the commotion became more intense, the actual alert at Dashunguan was far less tense than it was two days ago.
Yang Yanzhang is nothing, he can't even compare to Zhu Biao's hair. Even if Zhao Tong and Zhang Shi'an lead 3,000 soldiers, they would not dare to fight Zhu Biao's 1,000 soldiers, but they will definitely dare to chase Yang Yanzhang. This is
The intimidating power of reputation.
Now that the city gates are open, people in the city and refugees outside the city can communicate with each other. However, the search is still very strict, and anyone carrying weapons will be strictly investigated.
The veteran took Shi Tianba and his group of eight people to the entrance of the refugee area, and saw the veteran's boss, an even older veteran.
"Enter Guancheng?" I was all scratching my head. This matter is a bit difficult to handle!
It’s not like we haven’t let people live in the city these days, but apart from a group of those people who were approved by General Zhao and Zhang Er, they were the gatekeepers and army Sima’s business. I didn’t even have a head...
But when it comes to rejecting it, I feel like I’m touching the piece of gold in my sleeve and I really can’t say it out loud.
Fifty taels of gold and fifty taels of silver. If you can get into the city, I'll thank you very much. I'm so excited that I can't even say no.
"How many of you are there in total?" Greed finally defeated everything and everyone asked.
"Forty-seven people. Nine little masters, fifteen servants, and twenty-three guards."
"Wait here. I'll go and accommodate you to the He family..."
Shi Tianba bowed before watching everyone leave, with a bright smile on his face that made the refugees not far away want to use the soles of their worn shoes to smoke. Another bastard who paid to buy his way!
The old soldier left with four of his top soldiers with a smile on his face, and a dozen taels of silver in his hand, which was eye-catching and made all his colleagues around him jealous.
He introduced me to Dutou and got ten taels of silver. Each of his soldiers had one tael, and he got five taels. He took the remaining one or two taels and went back to the city to have a good meal and drink. There must have been four big soldiers each.
Will shout joy, didn't you see that the four people are now smiling happily, their mouths are grinning to their ears... (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
