As Zhu Tianjiang and his party walked further north, the number of people became sparse. According to what Shopkeeper Feng said, Zhu Tianjiang did not enter the city again. Unless necessary, he asked Xia Qing to take a few people to the city to purchase a batch of food.
They go around the city everywhere.
"Tian Jiang, after arriving at Tian Qing, how do you plan to help the Yang Jin clan?" Lin Feng sat in the car and looked at Zhu Tian Jiang and asked.
"Master, it's hard to say. The war is changing rapidly. I have to know the specific situation of the Yangjin clan before I can make a decision. However, I must gain the trust of the Yangjin clan, otherwise any plan will fail." Zhu Tianjiang said silently while sipping milk tea.
.
"You'd better change your name. Otherwise, if the other party knows your identity, they will probably make a deal with you and Zhou Yantian. Both Tianqing and Dangyun have spies in the capital. Your reputation is well known now, and the Yangjin clan knows
How much are you worth?" Lin Feng reminded.
Zhu Tianjiang shook his head, "Master, if we want to gain the other party's trust, we must face them honestly. Besides, even if we change our identities, why should the Yangjin clan believe me? Who would believe an unknown Dafeng businessman?
, can help them change their destiny. If I want to complete the emperor's mission this time, I can only rely on my prestige from previous battles and my position in Dafeng to gain the other party's trust."
"Aren't you afraid that the other side will take you down in exchange for Zhou Yantian sending troops?" Lin Feng frowned.
Zhu Tianjiang smiled bitterly and said, "Master, I am not as high as a saint, so of course I am afraid."
"Since you are scared, wouldn't it be dangerous for you to do this?" Lin Feng looked at Zhu Tianjiang strangely.
"There is nothing you can do if you don't do this. Sooner or later, you will have to use your true identity to show off your cards with the other party. Emperor Chengwu means to make the two clans fight on an equal footing so that they can restrain each other and have no time to take care of Dafeng. If we really follow Emperor Chengwu's wishes,
I estimate that I will have to stay in Tianqing for ten or eight years. Instead of doing this, it is better to help Yangjin destroy the Wu tribe."
"In that case, the Tianqing Kingdom will not be dominated by the Yangjin clan, but I, Dafeng, will be just as much of a threat."
"Hehe." Zhu Tianjiang chuckled, "This is the result I want. If I help Yangjin destroy the Wu tribe, they will know that as long as I am here, they will not want to offend Dafeng. In this way, in Chengdu,
I have another life-saving asset in front of Emperor Wu and his son."
"You have a lot of evil intentions, but I still feel that it is very dangerous to reveal your identity."
"Let's take it one step at a time. Now Zhu Er and Zhu Si's people have arrived at Tianqing Kingdom. We will make plans after we find out the strength comparison between the two sides." Zhu Tianjiang himself was not sure, so he could only wait until he arrived at Tianqing Kingdom.
Lin Feng nodded, he had a heartfelt sense of trust in Zhu Tianjiang. Even though Zhu Tianjiang didn't learn much about martial arts skills, and sometimes he even acted like a rogue, when it came to important matters, Zhu Tianjiang
It is a very stable grasp. In the eyes of outsiders, a very reckless behavior can be turned into a miracle in the hands of Zhu Tianjiang. Compared with Zhu Tianjiang, Lin Feng feels that he is really old. Since Zhu Tianjiang has his own
As the backbone, Lin Feng decided not to interfere with any of Zhu Tianjiang's actions. He had only one mission, which was to protect Zhu Tianjiang with all his strength.
The convoy traveled non-stop, and although they took a lot of detours, they finally arrived at Beiguan City, the strategic location in the northernmost part of the Dafeng Dynasty, at noon on the sixth day.
With the adventure experience of Yufeng City, Zhu Tianjiang ordered the convoy to stop when he was still fifteen miles away from Beiguan City.
"Master, it seems that I have to trouble you to make a trip. Go and contact the sticky pole office in Beiguan City to see if they have taken care of it, but don't let anything happen under the city gate."
Zhu Tianjiang said respectfully.
Zhu Er was not in the convoy. Although Zhu Yi used to be a member of the stick team, the Qinglong Guard was good at killing. It was the responsibility of the Suzaku envoys to contact secret strongholds in various places. Therefore, Zhu Tianjiang could only ask Lin Feng to take action in person.
With this old spy leader here, you only need to take a walk around the city to see which store is the secret stronghold of Niangan. Don’t look at the fact that Shopkeeper Feng from Yufeng City has already sent a message to Beiguan City, Zhu Tianjiang’s convoy
There is no way to contact him before he reaches the city. You can't let Daniel go to the gate of the city and catch one and ask him if he is a spy from the stick stick.
Lin Feng did not refuse, and he and Xia Qing raced towards Beiguan City. In less than an hour, they saw three fast horses coming from the direction of Beiguan, and the leader was Xia Qing.
Lin Feng and Xia Qing brought a young man to Zhu Tianjiang's car. Zhu Tianjiang was discussing the plan with Zhu Yi under the car. When he saw the three people arriving, Zhu Tianjiang hurriedly greeted them.
"Sir, please bring the messenger from Beiguan to Sticky Gate." Xia Qing cupped his fists and said to Zhu Tianjiang.
When the young man heard that the person in front of him was Zhu Tianjiang, he quickly jumped off his horse and knelt down on one knee, "Mo Wei, messenger from Beiguan City at Sticky Post, please see your lord."
"Brother Mo, don't be polite. We are all our own people. Although this is the territory of Dafeng, it has fallen into the hands of the traitors. I admire you very much for the brothers being able to settle down here." Zhu Tianjiang said, and asked Mo Wei
Help him up.
Mo Wei stood up, glanced at Zhu Tianjiang, and said with a serious face, "Sir, thank you for your convoy not going to the city gate, otherwise it would have been in trouble. According to the inside information from the garrison camp in the city, it was said that Zhou Yantian passed the order.
We asked the city's guards to seize the Lord's caravan. We got the news two days ago. It was estimated that Zhou Yantian would send people to Yufeng City to investigate, so we immediately notified Lord Feng of Yufeng City and asked him to evacuate immediately. Moreover, my subordinates
We also notified the city in front and asked the brothers over there to tell you, who knows, they said they didn't see your convoy. In the past two days, our brothers came out to wait for you twice a day, but who knew we still missed it. If it weren't for Master Lin
We almost met with something big," Mo Wei said with lingering fear, looking at Zhu Tianjiang.
Zhu Tianjiang and others were shocked. They didn't expect Zhou Yantian to actually give the order. Could it be that the news was leaked?
"Sir, is your identity exposed?" Zhu Yi said worriedly.
Before Zhu Tianjiang could speak, Mo Wei said first, "No, if Zhou Yantian learns that Lord Zhu has arrived in his territory, I am afraid he will mobilize all the nearby soldiers and horses to chase and intercept Lord Zhu. At present, there are no soldiers and horses in the city like Lin.
The atmosphere of a formidable enemy is probably due to the fine iron in your convoy that attracted Zhou Yantian’s attention.”
Zhu Tianjiang nodded and smiled self-deprecatingly, "The big guy in our car alone is enough to make Zhou Yantian jealous. Today, fine iron is used in important parts such as the blades and gun heads of standard weapons.
Generals above the rank of general can get a weapon made of fine iron, which is as beautiful as anything. How can I, like a prodigal, use a lot of fine iron to build such a big thing."
Zhu Tianjiang felt that Mo Wei's analysis was right. With Zhu Daguan's current status and prestige, if Zhou Yantian knew that he was coming, he would not go crazy to surround him. The person Zhou Yantian hated the most was Zhu Tianjiang.
We will definitely not just let the soldiers and horses of Beiguan City wait to arrest people.
"Brother Mo, how many troops are guarding Beiguan City?" Zhu Tianjiang asked seriously.
"Sir, Zhou Yantian has good relations with the Tianqing Kingdom, and Beiguan City allows the Tianqing Kingdom's caravans to enter and exit freely. In order to show his sincerity, Zhou Yantian stationed not many people in Beiguan City. There are only 1,500 people in total. But to
If you want to go to Tianqing Kingdom, you don’t have to go through the city. You can bypass Beiguan City and walk ten miles to the North Pass where the two countries meet. There are 500 soldiers and horses stationed in the city at Beiguan. As long as you leave Beiguan,
It is the boundary of Tianqing Kingdom." Mo Wei said in detail.
Zhu Tianjiang was startled and immediately laughed twice, "Zhou Yantian is an old thief who is really smart. Even if the Tianqing Kingdom invades, they will march straight to Hukou Pass. If he sends heavy troops to guard it, it will be like helping the Emperor Wu."
Watch the door. Putting such a small force here makes sense, and it seems to be on good terms with the Tianqing Kingdom, and can free up troops to deal with Dafeng. However, it is an advantage for us. A mere 500 people want to block my convoy, which is impossible.
It's a dream. Brother Mo, gather all the brothers in the city and follow me out of the North Pass."
When Zhu Tianjiang heard that there were only 500 people holding the gate, with their fighting power, they would definitely be able to get out before the troops and horses in the city could support them. Even though the caravan only had about a hundred people, they were all good at blocking ten.
"Sir, don't underestimate the 500 soldiers and horses guarding the gate. They have 200 heavy bows and crossbows. Besides, our brothers in the city only have five people in total."
Mo Wei looked at Zhu Tianjiang awkwardly, thinking that even if we were included, it wouldn't be of much help. The two hundred heavy archers were divided into four teams according to the military system. They couldn't even think of rushing through just by taking turns to shoot again.
Zhu Tianjiang was stunned. He originally thought that there must be fifty people from the sticky pole in the city, but he didn't expect that there were only five of them. Zhu Tianjiang thought about it carefully, and it was right. There is no need to collect other intelligence in this place, as long as the sky
When the Qing Kingdom invades, it's just enough to pass on the news. It's useless to have more people. Since there are only five people, it doesn't matter if you want them or not.
"Brother Mo, since you have so few manpower, you should continue to lurk. Later, you will tell us the route around the city, and then quietly return to the city. As soon as we leave the border, you will pass the news to Lord Wei Zhan." Zhu
Tianxiang said.
"Sir, you should think about it again. It is very dangerous for you to break through the barrier like this. Besides, even if you get out of the barrier, there is only one avenue to go outside, and the soldiers and horses in the city will soon catch up." Mo Wei said worriedly.
.
"Don't worry, as long as we get out of the checkpoint, anyone who dares to chase me will be killed." Zhu Tianjiang said arrogantly.
Mo Wei had heard Zhu Tianjiang's name for a long time, and it was like thunder. But when he saw it today, he felt that it was different from the legend. Such actions were simply a reckless person.
"Sir, since you are determined to break through the checkpoint, I will personally lead you to the North Pass. The terrain here is complicated, so it would be better for me to lead the way myself." Mo Wei said sincerely.
"Thank you Brother Mo, but since you are passing the test, there is no need to reveal your identity again." Zhu Tianjiang smiled and rejected Mo Wei's kindness.
Mo Wei had a humble official position and did not dare to force it. He had to draw a detailed route map and gave Zhu Tianjiang instructions on how to circumvent the city.
Zhu Tianjiang and others made a little plan and immediately rushed to the North Pass with the convoy. Lin Feng had been to Tianqing Kingdom before, but every time he went, he always passed directly through the city and never spared any effort.
OK. The geographical location of Beiguankou is unique. At first glance, the terrain seems flat, but there are hidden deep crisscrossing subsidences. Without local guidance, it is easy to get lost. It is because of this special terrain of heaven and earth, so
It was only then that Dafeng established a boundary here.
According to the map drawn by Mo Wei, Zhu Tianjiang and others quickly bypassed Beiguan City and stopped about four miles away from Beiguan. Lin Feng took Zhu Yi, Xia Qing and other fifteen people to Beiguan in advance.
pass.
Zhu Tianjiang waited for about a bag of cigarettes and immediately ordered the large group of people to move forward. Daniel was holding an iron rod, and the brothers also hid their weapons under the horses' bellies.
Zhu Tianjiang saw the gate from a distance, and the officers and soldiers on the city wall had already seen them. Zhou Yantian ordered a strict investigation of the passing caravans to detain the people who smuggled refined iron, and the soldiers and horses at the gate did not dare to be careless. Once they saw it, they
A large caravan, with a general manager Qian and more than a hundred people, immediately surrounded Zhu Tianjiang's caravan.
At this time, Lin Feng and others were waiting under the city gate to exit the customs. When they saw their motorcade arriving, Lin Feng, Zhu and a dozen others suddenly drew out their weapons and jumped towards the city wall.
Standing at the front of the car, Zhu Tianjiang saw that the other side was already taking action, and immediately gave the order, "Brothers, charge and kill!"
The officers and soldiers of Beiguan City never expected that the other party would suddenly take action. Daniel led dozens of people to howl and kill them.
When a sentry on the city wall saw this scene, he was so surprised that he immediately shouted loudly.
"Someone breaks through the border~Police attack!"
As soon as the sentry finished speaking, Zhu Yi's dagger pierced his chest. As soon as the crossbowman on the city picked up the heavy crossbow, more than a dozen figures rushed over. Before the crossbowman could react,
, blood splattered on the city walls.
The one hundred or so people who besieged Zhu Tianjiang were no match for Danniu and the others. A few of them met Daniu and led his men to the city gate. There were still about two hundred infantry soldiers under the city gate, and they had not yet formed their team.
They were scattered by a group of warriors. Many brothers jumped off their horses and went straight to the city wall to kill the crossbowmen. The biggest threat to them was not these infantry soldiers, but the crossbowmen on the city. Even if the convoy rushed out
At the city gate, even if the enemy fires an arrow, it will hurt one of your own. Therefore, the crossbowman cannot be allowed to live under any circumstances.
The crossbowman's melee combat ability was inherently poor. In the melee, people were crowded and he couldn't lift his bow. He was simply a piece of meat on the chopping board. While the killing was going on in the city, Zhu Tianjiang suddenly saw billowing smoke rising from the corner of the city wall.
"It's broken. They are calling for the soldiers and horses in the city to fight quickly." Zhu Tianjiang saw that it was not good and gave the order quickly.
Seeing the smoke, the officers and soldiers under the city suddenly became energetic. About seventy infantry soldiers holding spears surrounded the city and blocked the city gate. For a while, Daniel really couldn't do anything to them. At this moment,
Lin Feng dodged over. He kept stabbing with the rapier in his hand, and immediately opened a gap. As the brothers on the city wall jumped down one after another, the officers and soldiers at the city gate were quickly defeated. He saw the officers and soldiers fleeing in all directions.
, Zhu Tianjiang did not order a chase, but ordered Zhu Yi to quickly clear the road, and the convoy should rush out of the gate as soon as possible.
As the road was cleared, taxis quickly rushed out of the city gate. Once out of the North Pass, Zhu Tianjiang was no longer afraid. Archers and infantrymen could not catch up. Even if the opponent came to chase, it would only be light cavalry or heavy cavalry.
cavalry.
"Sir, a group of light cavalry is chasing us. We estimate there are about five hundred people." A scout who was behind the group ran over and said.
The motorcade had been running for about fifteen miles. When he heard the report, Zhu Tianjiang waved the motorcade to stop.
"Xia Qing, unwrap the artillery carriage and turn the front of the carriage to face the rear. I want to give Zhou Yantian a special gift." Zhu Tianjiang said with a sneer.
Zhu Tianjiang had already thought of a way out. He insisted not to let Mo Wei follow him because he was afraid that the power of the cannon would cause Mo Wei to pass it to Wei Zhan. In that case, I don't know what Emperor Cheng Wu would think.
