774: Flood washed away the Dragon King Temple [please vote]
Kang Shi was obviously not the only one who was eyeing Chaoli Pass.
When Zheng Guoxi philanthropist Qiao was distributing the national seal everywhere, a few self-aware small forces knew that they were unable to compete with Huang Lie and other forces for the national seal, so they did not join in the pursuit of the national seal. This was quite disappointing. Due to a strange combination of circumstances, they withdrew from Qianzhou in advance and there was a huge fight among the forces.
They are lucky and somewhat unlucky at the same time.
Fortunately, they were close to the Miao River. When the Great Seal came out, they immediately retreated across the river with the treasure in their arms and arrived at the border of Yanzhou. Unfortunately, they were not the only ones who thought this way. They also met other forces with the Great Seal along the way. .
Form an alliance?
Neither side trusts the other.
Are we going to fight if we don't form an alliance?
The strengths of small forces and small forces are close again.
As a result, although the fighting situation in Yanzhou was not as fierce as that in Qianzhou, the people were in dire straits and corpses were everywhere.
There was also a lucky person among them who stood out and returned to Chaoliguan smoothly, so that he could take advantage of the natural dangers of the pass to gain a chance to breathe. But this lucky person was not so lucky, because they were not yet hot on their butts at Chaoliguan. They met Kang Shi's soldiers and horses. At first, they were a little lucky.
Is there anyone in the Allied forces who doesn't know that Shen Tang's troops were split into two?
Kang Shi's army was small in strength. Even if Gong Xiqiu and others joined, our side still had the natural danger of Chaoli Pass to rely on, and at the same time, it also held the national seal. In a real fight, the advantage lies with us.
result--
Kang Shi also had the national seal in his hand.
Chaoli Pass, known as Yanzhou's dangerous pass, changed hands twice in just half a month. Kang Shi took advantage of the gap where the defenders were not yet stable, led his troops to attack, and captured the place in one fell swoop, without even drinking a sip of hot water. Immediately deploy the only manpower available to defend the pass.
A large number of scouts were sent to contact the Lord and others.
Wei Shou had been the guard of Chaoli Pass before, and the soldiers and horses he left behind were very familiar with the situation inside the pass, which reduced Kang Shi's workload. Kang Shi, who had not slept for several days, had red eyes, and he reluctantly cheered up: " In addition to guarding the Chaoli Pass and rendezvousing with the lord's troops, there is another important thing at the moment."
The flood situation in Yanzhou is more troublesome than expected.
Not only are there floods, but diseases are spreading wantonly.
The problem now is that they are short of people, food and medicinal materials.
If these two troubles cannot be solved, the common people will gather to launch a riot, and the consequences will be disastrous. It is not that these common people will threaten themselves when they gather, but the war has reached this point. As long as our own forces can stabilize their position, the northwest region will basically be stable. .But what can we do if we only have land but no population? These common people will be the main force in revitalizing each state in the future.
If it doesn't affect yourself, save it if you can.
Gong Xiqiu said: "The situation in Yanzhou is not bad..."
Compared with the chaos in Qianzhou, Yanzhou just looks depressed. After all, the war is fought by all forces, and the people seem to be quite stable. Kang Shi said speechlessly: "Yanzhou looks okay, that's because most of the people here All the young and strong people were transferred to Qianzhou by Zheng Qiao. With Chaoli Pass as the boundary, 70% of the half of Yanzhou outside the pass are old and weak. How much chaos can they create if they get together?"
Yu Zi said solemnly: "The bodies of the old and the weak are far less resistant than the young and strong. Once the epidemic gets out of control, it will be difficult for them to survive. The most terrible thing is that the shortage of food and medicine is not only outside the customs, but also within the customs, and the epidemic has also spread.
Already."
There is a shortage of food, medicine, and troops...
The pressure of three mountains is so heavy that people can hardly breathe.
It also made Kang Shi doubt his life. Could this be another bad luck on his part? Just when he was at a loss to do anything, the scouts came back with exciting information - they detected a group of men and horses, with a small number of troops, escorting a large number of baggage vehicles.
Kang Shi was shocked: "A baggage truck?"
He quickly asked: "Have you found out what was escorted in the car?"
Yu Zi was responsible for handing over information to the scouts, and then she integrated it back to Kangshi: "That group of people acted cautiously, and the scouts did not dare to approach rashly, but judging from the depth of the wheels of the baggage truck and the objects left behind, there were corn and wheat, and the truck was full.
All."
Kang Shi put his hands in his sleeves and frowned in deep thought.
Yu Zi said: "The military advisor is worried about fraud?"
Kang Shi rubbed the bridge of his sore nose and said unnaturally: "Wei Heng thinks... there will be such a coincidence?"
Pies may fall from the sky, but it is unlikely to fall into his mouth. He was worried about the shortage of food, and his hair fell out in handfuls. The scouts sent back the news that a mysterious grain transport team appeared near Chaoliguan?
It can't be such a coincidence, right?
Naturally, he would worry that this was a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
However, with the food so close in front of him, he was afraid that he would regret it even in his dreams if he didn't take a bite of such fat meat, and he was hesitant for a while.
Kang Shi asked again: "Have you found out their identities?"
Yu Zi shook her head: "I didn't find it."
This grain transport team acted very cautiously. There was no flag, and the grain transport troops and horses had no iconic features. They were all dressed up as ordinary people. But judging from their overall momentum and the formation of their movements, they were definitely a well-trained team.
of elite.
When you are healthy, you hold your chin in your hands and think.
The signs of a sneak attack to rob food cropped up and then suppressed.
After repeatedly pulling the strings in his mind for more than a dozen times, Kang Shi decided to take a risk and entrusted Gong Xiqiu with help just to be cautious.
When Gong Xiqiu heard this, he refused.
When I was decisive, I almost forgot the next part.
"Why not?"
Gong Xiqiu pointed to his eyes. Although he did not rely on his eyes, it was still not convenient for him to lead his troops in an ambush: "You can do the same to the one named Chu."
Kang Shi said: "General Chu also refused."
Because Chu Jie felt that he was more reliable than Gong Xiqiu in guarding the pass, and he was the general guarding Yonggu Pass, so Kang Shi was really unable to control him.
the most important is--
Strictly speaking, Chu Jie is not a subordinate of the Lord.
Gongxi Qiu Digu said: "If he refuses, then I will go?"
Mindful of the sacred object's sake, he didn't care about it with Kang Shi.
However, fortunately, he led his troops to ambush.
Otherwise, this farce would be really laughable.
As a sixteenth-level master, and possessing some of the special features of the Martial Arts Totem, he sensed an extremely familiar aura from the ambush target. Gong Xiqiu's expression was as exciting as an overturned palette. A drama falling from the sky.
The grain transport team below noticed it instantly.
"Who wants to die?"
A figure rushed out from among them.
Gong Xiqiu slapped the provocative Xun Ding back, and cursed angrily: "Look who I am before I speak harshly! Xun Yong'an, I haven't seen you for a while, but your manpower is much larger. But you are bolder!"
A slap hit Xun Ding's chest, causing his breath to surge.
Although the sky was pitch black, Gong Xiqiu's dark green martial aura lingered all over his body. Coupled with his iconic voice, Xun Ding recognized his identity. So he stabilized his figure in mid-air, landed lightly on the ground, and added the old man Dad Xunzhen's words fell in time, and he suddenly started shaking, covering his chest and cursing: "Gong Xiqiu, are you sick? Why did you jump out to scare people when you have nothing to do?"
Gong Xiqiu's position has always been a mystery.
However, there was no murderous intent in him, and Xun Ding was not worried that the other party was an enemy. The next second, he felt like he was being slapped in the face by reality - heads and figures appeared on the hills in the distance. If he hadn't been careful, he would have thought they were... It's a shrub...
Xun Ding: "..."
Is Gong Xiqiu leading his troops to ambush them?
As soon as this thought came out, Xun Ding had the intention to kill.
But before the killing intent could break out, Gong Xiqiu slapped him again, and the latter was still humiliating him: "I really should let you see how stupid you are. Xun Yong'an, you are unleashing murderous intent in front of me. It's really terrible." Do you think your life is too long?"
In the end, Xun Zhen took action to pull his son back. He looked at Gong Xiqiu with a serious look and asked, "What's going on?"
Gong Xiqiu waved his hand behind him: "Everyone come out!"
Xun Ding: "..."
The two parties sat down and looked at each other.
I checked my eyes and saw that it was really my family!
Xun Ding was surprised and said: "Kang's military division has captured Chaoliguan? But, the previous news did not say that Chaoliguan is at..."
Gong Xiqiu said quietly: "You didn't get the news in time."
Xun Ding: "..."
In the current situation, it is normal for the intelligence to lag for seven or eight days. Moreover, with their small manpower, they ensured that the food arrived here safely and avoided the refugees and allied forces in Yanzhou. It was not easy. But fortunately, Gongxi Qiu recognized It would be really embarrassing if the two armies had to fight before they knew it was ours. After the misunderstanding was resolved, Gong Xiqiu asked someone to send a message to Kang Shi, asking him to send someone to take over this batch of grain.
Only then did Xun Ding have the time to care about Gong Xiqiu's eyes.
"What's wrong with your eyes?" I was wondering in my heart, who is so powerful that he can blind this guy's eyes.
Gong Xiqiu raised his hand and stroked the cloth covering his eyes.
Use the calmest tone, pretending to be the most awesome: "What are you talking about, these eyes? When I broke through and was promoted to the sixteenth level, I encountered a little trouble and my eyes were temporarily blind."
Xun Ding: "..."
He just said that Gong Xiqiu seemed to be easier than before when he beat him just now, and together with this guy, he had reached a new level.
Xun Ding looked calm on the outside, but inside he was so jealous that his facial features were deformed.
Gong Xiqiu was originally a stumbling block between him and Alai, but now not only has this stumbling block not been kicked away, it has risen from the ground and turned into a high mountain and dangerous peak in front of him. He is angry!
As if he could read Xun Ding's thoughts, Gong Xiqiu grinned, revealing two rows of neat white teeth. He really deserved a beating!
Xun Ding was so angry that he almost fainted on the spot.
Fortunately, Gong Xiqiu was not very interested in him.
His eyes were full of the other person, and he asked the leader of the team: "Why doesn't Mama come with you?"
Xun Zhen said: "My lord, I have other things to do."
Gong Xiqiu asked: "Is it safe?"
What should I do if the holy objects are running around and bump into each other?
Xun Zhen said: "It's naturally safe."
If something can happen to my lord with this configuration, there will be no safe place in the world. Even if it doesn't work, there is still hope for mercy.
When Kang Shi learned that the remaining grain was on the way, he was so happy that he clapped his legs and laughed: "With this good luck, who will call me sick again?"
It turns out that smiles don’t disappear, they just move.
In the same way, luck is the same.
Kangshi sent troops and horses to pick up the grain transport team. Except for Xun Ding's team, the remaining three teams were all expected to arrive, but the last team did not show up at the scheduled time. When the news was sent back to Chaoliguan, Kang
Sometimes I feel thorns on the mat under my buttocks.
One word is like sitting on pins and needles.
He looked solemnly: "How come you can't receive it?"
Gong Xiqiu: "Could it be that we were delayed on the way?"
Because there was too much food in the Qianzhou granary and the transportation target was too large, it was easy to be noticed by the enemy. Chu Yao and others discussed dividing it into five groups, sleeping day and night, and taking five different routes. After carefully calculating the marching time of the five teams,
At nightfall today, we should be able to reach the destination via the last route. The time difference will not exceed an hour, and now half a day has passed.
Xun Ding: "Wuhui was in charge the whole way."
Gong Xiqiu said: "If he is in charge, there will be no delay?"
The atmosphere in the hall was very solemn.
Xun Ding whispered: "If we lose contact at this moment, we must be in trouble, maybe even an enemy..."
Still an enemy with the national seal.
The broken sword that Zheng Qiao borrowed from Ning Yan is now in the hands of Chu Yao. This thing is a hot potato. Whichever hand it is placed in, the risk of encountering the enemy is greater.
Chu Yao took this into consideration before finally setting off.
Kang Shi took a deep breath.
Some people don't dare to think about Chu Yao's situation.
If something happens to Chu Yao, the Lord will go crazy.
He asked Xun Zhen: "Hanzhang, could you please map out the marching route to Wuhui and arrange for soldiers and horses to search."
Everyone would rather hope that Chu Yao would be delayed by encountering refugees along the way, rather than hope that they would be unlucky enough to encounter a strong enemy. On that day, Shen Tang led his troops to attack Cunshan City. Most of the soldiers who were separated were literary scholars and high-end warriors.
Less combat power.
According to what Xun Zhen and others said, the lord later took Wei Shou, Jiang Sheng and Ning Yan to go to Zheng Qiao to ask for his head. The combat power Chu Yao left along the way was even more pitiful. At this time, he was also carrying out food transportation.
After dividing the troops, Chu Yao only had more than 2,000 soldiers and horses.
More than two thousand people encountered the force holding the national seal... Even if Chu Yaoluanxin and a few literati were defiant, they couldn't defeat it!
Kang Shi sent out manpower to search for the whereabouts of Chu Yao and others, and at the same time sent people to squat at the agreed location to guard Chu Yao's whereabouts.
Maybe Chu Yao was just delaying.
Chu Yao didn't squat down, but the Lord did.
The next day, Shen Tang and his party, dressed as refugees, passed by here and were stopped by a patrol shortly after.
"Who are you?"
When Shen Tang saw their flags and recognized them as his own soldiers and horses, he lowered his guard, raised his hand and lifted his bamboo hat with his fingers, revealed a smiling face, and said loudly: "I? My surname is Shen, my first name is Tang, and my courtesy name is You."
Li, let your team lead us over."
Her face is quite recognizable.
The team leader hurriedly reported the news.
While waiting, Shen Tang also found out some news that Chaoliguan had been occupied by her family, and her eyes lit up.
"Ji Shou can do it, this operation is awesome!"
By stabilizing the Chaoli Pass, the overall situation in the northwest can be determined!
Qian Yong on one side felt his teeth sore from hearing this.
Huang Lie and others planned hard, but in the end they were picked up by her.
"Alas, time is also fate."
As long as the big winner in the end is not Zhang Yongqing or Huang Lie, he can accept any cat or dog. But soon, Qian Yong keenly realized that something was not right in the atmosphere. He raised his hand and tugged on Shen Tang's sleeve and winked at her.
