Li Muxian suddenly had such ambitions, but Chang Yu didn't know it. He was secretly cursing these refugees for not being real people, because he finally found the shoal for crossing the river. The water was only a few dozen meters wide and no deeper than his knees, so he hugged
Crossing the river with Nangong Yu, Jiang Fa and Wuzhong accompanied him.
As soon as they reached the other side and found an open place to rest, Jiang Fa slowly approached and whispered in a low voice that he had seen one of his own.
The so-called own people are about thirty people under Huang Degong's command. They also disguised themselves as refugees, but they did not come for investigation, but lurked around Chang Yu to pass orders. They did not go north all the way with Chang Yu before, and they did arrive early as promised.
Waiting on the bank of Dihutuo River, Jiang Fa discovered that everyone had tags tied on their bodies.
After Chang Yu asked Jiang Fa to confirm, he ordered them not to stay away. He went deep into the thieves' den to closely monitor the movements of the thieves and Li Muxian's gang of refugees. If necessary, he would immediately notify Huang Degong to mobilize an army to attack Zhending Mansion.
Looking across the river, I saw a huge wave of refugees on the other side. The endless sea of people was shouting slogans and making a loud noise. The living gods who were embracing them headed west along the Hutuo River.
This place is only a few dozen miles away from Zhending Mansion. Why are there no traces of the traitor army? Chang Yu is confused. No one cares about Li Muxian's big commotion. Could it be that the traitor army has been entrenched in the city and has not left the city.
Chang Yu didn't believe that there were no rebels hiding among these refugees, so there were only two possibilities for him not showing up. First, Li Muxian made too much noise and they didn't dare to move around. Second, he was hidden too deep to be seen.
After waiting for a while and seeing nothing unusual, Chang Yu decided to head north, leaving Li Muxian to fidget here. The more trouble he got, the more panicked Li Zicheng was, so he could fish in troubled waters.
Directly north is Wuji County. It was already dusk at this time. Chang Yu and Jiangfa squatted on the bank of the river and conspired to get some horses to travel. However, the surrounding area was densely populated by refugees, but they really didn't see a single horse.
"Young Master, I'll be back soon when I get back to my humble duty." Jiang Fa chuckled and stood up to leave. Chang Yu's movements were so fast that Chang Yu couldn't even react. When he saw him crossing the river directly to the south bank, he realized that he was going to Gaocheng to steal horses!
"This old boy, I'm so talented at doing this job, but I'm the first to take the lead." Wuzhong muttered angrily, and Chang Yu snorted: "Now that we're gone, who will protect me and Nangong girl?"
"Director... the young master is invincible with his fists and kicks. No ordinary person can get close to him." Wuzhong quickly flattered and pointed at Qiao Sanxiu: "Besides, Boss Qiao is also beside me..." As he was speaking, he suddenly stopped talking and squinted his eyes to look to the west.
Chang Yu looked over and saw that the refugees in Zhengxi suddenly became noisy and ran around in a panic. He couldn't help but wonder: "What happened?"
"I'm here to take a look." Wu Zhong said and ran over, not forgetting to tell Qiao Sanxiu: "Old Qiao protect the young master."
Qiao Sanxiu responded and shouted to him: "Don't get lost..." But he had disappeared and was lost in the crowd.
The refugees were running like a tide. Chang Yu and the other two people took shelter by leaning on a tree. They casually asked a few people why they dispersed. They all said that they didn't know how to follow the crowd and I just ran away.
Chang Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. After watching for a moment, Wuzhong came running out of breath: "Master, hurry up."
"What happened?" Chang Yu asked.
"The bandit army is here, about five to six thousand people." Wu Zhong pointed to the northwest: "It is very likely that they are coming from Zhending Fucheng."
Chang Yu frowned: "Is it possible that you are here for the refugees?" Looking towards the south bank, he could vaguely see Li Muxian and his followers still wailing westward along the river.
"Probably not." Qiao Sanxiu shook his head: "Even if the bandits got the news so quickly, they wouldn't have reacted so quickly. I'm afraid it was because of something else."
What's the matter? Chang Yu raised his brows, as if he thought of something. A smile appeared on his face, and he turned to ask Wuzhong: "Do you know whose troops they are?"
"There is a big banner with the word "gu", but I don't know the rest."
"It's either Gu Ying or Gu Kecheng," Chang Yu said, looking to the northwest. He could vaguely see the marching fire a few miles away, slowly heading south, and not long after, he stopped at the bank of Hutuo River.
"Wouldn't that Niubi fall into ashes just after becoming an immortal?" Wuzhong looked like he was watching a good show, squatting under the tree with his head in his hands and muttering to himself.
"If this bandit army came because of the refugees gathering to cause trouble, I'm afraid they would have already taken action. How could they have time to watch the excitement across the river?" Qiao Sanxiu seemed to be sure: "Look at what they are doing, they have other plans!"
"Looking for an egg..." Wu Zhong just yelled and was kicked by Chang Yu, indicating that he was not allowed to say dirty words in front of Nangong Yu. Wu Zhong moved his butt in a slightly embarrassed manner and continued to criticize Qiao Sanxiu: "Refugees causing trouble is no small matter, and intruders must definitely do it."
I won’t do anything without asking.”
"The intruder is hundreds of miles away. How could the news spread so quickly?" Qiao Sanxiu replied.
"Hundreds of miles is nothing..." Seeing Chang Yu raise his leg again, Wu Zhong quickly changed his words: "It's nothing, just visit the horse for four or five hours..." As he said that, his face suddenly turned red, because he
Realizing that the matter had not happened for four or five hours, let alone coming and going... "Then maybe the spies went directly to Zhending Mansion to recruit soldiers?".
"Zhending Mansion is due west, and this group of people came from the northwest." This time Chang Yu directly criticized him: "Don't worry, Li Muchian can still relax for a while, this big flag with the character "gu" is not here for him."
"Who is that for?" Wu Zhong looked confused.
Chang Yu looked at the group of troops several miles away with a murderous look in his eyes: "As expected, the intruders specially sent them from the north to deal with me."
"Another one is coming from the west." At this time, Wuzhong yelled again. He was tall and tall and could see far away. Chang Yu stepped on his feet and looked, and saw another group of people coming from the west with torches. He could not detect it visually.
Hundreds of people.
"These are the people who came from Zhending Fucheng," Chang Yu said calmly: "They are most likely coming to Li Muchian, but these people are probably a drop in the bucket."
Before half a second, the men and horses approached, but unexpectedly they did not cross the river to kill Li Muxian, but went to the Guzi military camp on the bank to return. Chang Yu was also a little confused.
Maybe they were worried that the chaos would be difficult to control, so these hundreds of people were just here for surveillance, or maybe they were here to ask for help from the Gangbiangu people, but who knew the specific situation, Chang Yu was not a god after all.
Although he is not an immortal, he can still be regarded as a semi-immortal, and his level of achievement is definitely higher than that of Li Muxian, a guy who pretends to be a god. As he expected, it was Gu Kecheng who resisted the banner with the word "Gu". He followed Li Zicheng's military order and went south to form a defense line to prevent the officers and soldiers from advancing westward or
On the way north, he received an urgent message from Li Zicheng on the way. The young eunuch was most likely in the south, so he was told to be more careful.
Hearing Chang Yu's name, Gu Kecheng was shocked, angry, and more excited. He thought that he was beaten so hard by this little eunuch in Taiyuan that he couldn't fight back and was extremely humiliated.
There are also refugee cannon fodder available anywhere, it’s up to you where to run this time.
So he ordered a rapid march and finally arrived at the bank of the Hutuo River at nightfall to disperse the nearby refugees and prepare to set up camp. At this time, a friendly army came, but it was Lu Bufan, a subordinate of Ma Shiyao who was guarding Zhendingfu City.
