The two white-robed scouts had been sending out a steady stream of news before, but once the war started, they naturally had no chance to leave the city.
"One of those two people is an old Jianghu, and the other one is simply from the Ba people. They were both scouts in the army. They are very shrewd, so there won't be any problems." Xiao Nian said in a low voice, "And the young man is young.
Don't worry, General. Since the establishment of the White Robes, they have been adhering to the principle of being the eyes and ears of the army, risking death and surviving. If anything unexpected happens, they will be well aware of it."
Xiao Shilian was actually worried that after Bai Pao was caught, he explained the army's itinerary. At this time, his thoughts were seen through, and he could only smile.
"The rain has stopped!" At this time, a guard stretched out his hand in surprise.
The thick dark clouds that had been shrouding this mountainous area seemed to have finally sensed the prayers of countless people. As the wind slowly moved eastward, a brilliant rainbow suddenly crossed the green mountains. People on the hillside who saw this scene subconsciously
Hold your breath.
Xiao Shilian was the first to react. He raised his whip in his hand and rushed straight to the horse with a shovel in his hand. The shovel was among the soldiers digging trenches: "What are you still doing? Hurry, throw away all these guys and kill you."
Pick up your sword and gun!"
After a pause, Xiao Shilian shouted: "Beat the drum to gather the generals!"
The dark clouds have dispersed and the war clouds have rolled back!
Xiao Shilian turned his eyes and stared at Yulin County City in front. He had been waiting for several days at this time. Li Xingchen was anxious in Jiankang Mansion, so how could Xiao Shilian not be anxious at the front line? This damn rain was finally over.
Stopped!
As for the two white robes, Xiao Shilian had already forgotten them. The army was destroying everything in its direction, and he could not care about them.
——————————
At this time, there was a different scene in Yulin County City.
The Baiyue soldiers shouted and rushed towards the city wall. It had been raining heavily for several days, which was indeed their best barrier. Otherwise, the enemy's trebuchets would have bombarded the city wall. But correspondingly, the heavy rain had no effect on the city wall.
Erosion is also fatal. The city wall, which was already in disrepair, has collapsed in several places due to rain erosion. Although the gap is not large, who can guarantee that the enemy's trebuchets will not create more gaps?
Soldiers who had participated in the Battle of Yanguan described the power of the enemy's thunder chariots, so the Baiyue leaders in the city did not dare to take them lightly.
Therefore, as soon as the rain stopped, the Baiyue soldiers began to repair the city, but it was too late. The sound of drums also sounded outside the city. It was obvious that Xiao Shilian had begun to gather his generals and would launch an attack on the city soon.
"This damn rain has finally stopped." At this time, in a dilapidated inn in the city, a man stretched out his hand to slightly prop up the window to reveal a crack.
Chabao is from the Ju people among the eight tribes of the Ba people. The Ju people are the northernmost tribe among the eight tribes of the Ba people. It is said that they are the remnants of the Ju country in Bashu. During the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Du Shang, the king of Shu, led his troops
He went north to pacify the Langzhong area, and made his younger brother Du Jiameng the Marquis of Hanzhong, calling him the Kingdom of Ju. His territory was Jiameng Pass in later generations. Later, the Kingdom of Ju and the Kingdom of Shu turned against each other, and there was constant friction. On the contrary, they became closer and closer to the Ba people.
It is rumored that the reason why Shu opened the Golden Ox Road was to attack the country of Ju in the north, which was blocking its northern gate. As a result, he made wedding clothes for Qin in vain. Sima entered Shu by mistake, first destroyed the country of Ju, and then went south to destroy Shu through the Golden Bull Road.
.Since then, the Ju people went into exile and became part of the Ba people, becoming one of the eight tribes of the Ba people.
The Ju people live in the mountains in northern Sichuan. They are thin and are best at traveling through mountains and forests. In order to facilitate communication with the outside world, the surname "Ju", which originally made up the majority of the ethnic group, has also evolved into the homonym "Cha". According to
According to research, part of the Yi people in later generations came from the Ju people.
Coincidentally, the Ju people are called "monkeys" among the eight tribes of the Ba people because of their thin stature and good climbing skills, while the Baiyue people are also called "monkeys" by the Lingnan people for almost similar reasons. Tea treasures are in this hundred
He is naturally at home in the Yue people's territory. As long as he doesn't speak, no one can tell that he is an outsider.
"The war is about to begin." Standing behind Cha Bao was a tall man.
Peak, people live up to their name.
This guy is nearly eight feet long, almost two heads taller than Cha Bao.
But this guy is an old man. He has been transporting goods in Lingnan and Jingzhou for many years. Because he had received favors from the Xiao family in his early years, Chen Yu recruited strange people to form the White Robe, and this guy came.
Although his body shape is very prominent in Lingnan, his many years of traveling in the world have given him a standard dialect, and he has a wide network of contacts here, so it is Gao Feng who makes more appearances between the two.
"It's a pity that we are trapped here and can't do anything." Cha Bao stamped his feet, a little helpless. Before the war, they tried to figure out how to arrange the city's defense situation - of course, mainly because these Baiyue people didn't have any
How much vigilance - but after the war started, all movements were restricted, and they could not leave the city.
"Who said that?" Gao Feng laughed, "Isn't now our best opportunity?"
"How do you say this?" Cha Bao said hurriedly.
After spending time with this tall man, he knew very well that this guy was not as harmless as he seemed.
Gao Feng's smile turned ferocious: "Let's set a fire."
"What are you planning to burn?" Cha Bao immediately rolled his eyes, "The army is short of food and grass. If we burn the granary, will the general let us go?"
"Let's burn the temple." Gao Feng snorted.
Cha Bao clapped his hands: "How could I forget this?"
"If you attack the enemy, you will save it." Gao Feng sneered.
What came to mind made Cha Bao a little confused: "The monkeys in Baiyue believe in gods and men the most. If we burn down their temples at once, will it..."
"Are you scared?"
"Hey, I mean, will it force them to jump over the wall?"
Gao Feng smiled but said nothing.
And Cha Bao also reacted.
The guy outside the city has a bad temper. I'm afraid the heavy rain these days has already dampened his temper. I wish these guys would jump over the wall so they can kill him happily.
"Do you want to do it or not?" Gao Feng raised his eyebrows.
"It's my fault, why don't you do it." Cha Bao's smile also turned ferocious.
They didn't know the impact of their decision on this matter, and they didn't know that it was two hundred miles to the south at this time.
An army is advancing rapidly, but their clothes do not look like the Central Plains style.
"Madam!" A general rode up to the figure standing on the hillside.
This is a woman, or to be more precise, an old woman. Her white hair is fluttering in the wind, and she doesn't care about the people behind her. Although she is nearly 70 years old, her eyes are not cloudy at all, and she looks into the distance like an eagle.
"After the rain and the sky clears up, God is also helping Li Xinchen." The old man said lightly, "Maybe this is destiny." (To be continued)
