On the school ground, there was a hustle and bustle, the sound of passwords, the shouts of soldiers, the shouts of officers, the snapping of leather whips on people, and the sound of ghosts crying and howling when those recruits were beaten, all of which upset Yin Cuo, who used to be extremely fun in his eyes, but now, these can only make him feel bored.

Now Jiaocheng is not short of grain and grass, nor is there a shortage of young and strong. When Tan Feng withdrew from Tai'an, he almost robbed Tai'an, gold and silver, grain and grass materials, young and strong men, as long as he could use it, he looted it all unceremoniously. In Jiaocheng, the grain depots are now full, tens of thousands of young and strong people make the replenishment of the army safe, coupled with the dangerous terrain of Jiaocheng, it can be said that in a short period of time, Jiaocheng is absolutely worry-free.

However, people have no immediate worries, there must be long-term worries, from the short-term point of view, Jiaocheng is indeed not dangerous, but in the long run, it is dangerous, Tan Feng's misjudgment of the situation, so that they can no longer sit and watch the world rise, and then wait for the price to sell, because the people who are willing to bid for him are about to fall off the cliff.

In order to save this person who is willing to bid for them and may bid a high price, Tan Feng can only jump out in advance and take the risk. If this fight is successful, it will naturally get a generous guarantee, and you will have peace of mind from now on, but if it fails, it will be a catastrophe.

Tan Feng took away almost all of the elite forces this time, leaving only a few thousand men and horses for Yin Cuo, and the rest were all newly recruited recruits. Tan Feng plundered tens of thousands of young men from Tai'an, but the first batch only recruited 5,000 people into the army.

When these young men arrived in Jiaocheng, life was not good, Tan Feng completely used them as coolies, implemented military formation, only had food to eat, but no salary to get, these 5,000 people. It is the able-bodied people selected from it, once they enlist in the army, they can get a considerable salary, and the housing and food will immediately go up a notch. This approach is naturally a signal to the tens of thousands of young people to work hard, as long as you can enter the army, you can enjoy the same treatment. And this five thousand people, who had already entered the army, came out of that struggling labor battalion. Naturally, he refused to go back to live that hellish life, being a soldier, it was a little harder, and the commander was a little fiercer, but he was well fed and clothed, there was money to take, he did a good job, and there were opportunities for promotion, and there were already several recruits. Now he has become a captain. With this hope, the soldiers are naturally motivated.

Yin Cuo felt that there was no hope, looking at those energetic recruits, he just smiled bitterly in his heart. After a lot of battles, he naturally understands that once these recruits set foot on the battlefield, half of them can come back alive. Even if God has a good heart.

Is Wuguan so easy to fight? If it is really easy to fight, Qu Wan's 200,000 army will not be blocked alive, and the information transmitted from the direction of Wuguan. made Yin Cuo's heart half cold. The only advantage of this dispatch is that it is unexpected, once the Han army in the direction of Wuguan knows the news, the difficulty will immediately multiply several times. I hope everything goes well, otherwise the future can only be said to be bleak.

The army has been on for three days, and the information that has come back seems that everything is going well, and the army is advancing extremely fast, and the speed of advance is more than fifty miles every day, which is an extremely remarkable achievement for an army of tens of thousands of people, and at this rate, there are at most four or five days to reach Shanyang County, and launch a fatal blow from behind Wuguan.

Yin Cuo was a little panicked in his heart, this kind of behavior of pinning all his hopes on one thing makes people feel uneasy, in case of an accident, the consequences are unimaginable.

As soon as he thought of this, he felt that the noise on the school field was even more unbearable, so he stood up and walked out of the camp. Or going out for a few drinks is a good option.

As soon as he reached the gate of the camp, a personal soldier rushed over.

"General Yin, there is a Yingchuan businessman from outside the general's mansion, saying that he is a good friend of the general, and he specially came to Jiaocheng to visit the general." Pro-soldier road.

"Good friends?" Yin was stunned, in Yingchuan, he did have a few friends who did business, and he made a lot of money through their transactions with the Han people, but after Yingchuan was lost, these friends had long been gone. Naturally, I can't get back the money I have with them.

"What's your last name? How many people? Yin Cuo asked casually, the Han people have always treated merchants well, and it is not an inexplicable thing that his few merchant friends can freely enter and exit the territory of the Han people.

"He said that his surname was Zhang, a big fat man, and he only brought two retinues, but it seemed that those two retinues were burly and looked fierce." Pro-soldier road.

"The surname is Zhang, is he a fat man?" A figure appeared in Yin Cuo's mind, and there was indeed a businessman friend surnamed Zhang who was a fat man.

"It turned out to be him, so I can ask him about Yingchuan's situation." Yin Cuo suddenly became interested, no matter what, after so many years in Yingchuan, he still has feelings for there.

Before walking all the way back to the general's mansion, I saw a few people patrolling back and forth in front of the general's mansion, but Yin Cuo was a wolf, it was indeed a fat man and two companions, but the fat man and the fat man in his head did not match, because this fat man was surprisingly fat, where he stood, it seemed to be a round ball, Yin Cuo even suspected that if this guy fell to the ground, his feet would definitely not land.

His brows furrowed slightly, and Yin Cuo's footsteps stopped.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the fat man turned around, saw Yin Cuo, and staggered over with a smile on his face: "General Yin, General Yin, it's been a long time, it's been a long time." ”

"Who you are, I don't know you." Yin Cuo said coldly. Hearing Yin Cuo's words, the soldiers around him were stunned for a moment, and immediately reached out and grabbed the hilt of the knife.

"Yes, yes, the general has not seen me. I haven't seen a general either, but I've been famous for a long time about the general, and my surname is Zhang, my name is one, and I remember my name very well, Zhang Yi. ”

Yin Cuo felt that this name was very familiar, but he couldn't think of where he had heard of this name.

"Where have I seen you? You don't seem to be a businessman? Yin Cuo asked.

"In Xia Zhang Yi, now he is serving in the Han Dynasty, and he is a deputy director of the National Security Bureau, and he has always been a person who has not shown his head much, but this time, he came to see General Yin Cuo, and the general's eyes are like a decent, and I can see at a glance that I am not a businessman." The fat man smiled so that his eyes became slits, and he shook his head.

Yin Cuo's brain was like being hit by a sledgehammer, and he really took a few steps back, and the soldiers behind him pulled out their sabers with a bang.

Zhang Yi, Yin Cuo finally remembered who this person was. The former servant of Han Wang Gaoyuan, the former vice president of the Supervision Yuan of the Han State, and the deputy director of the reorganized National Security Bureau, has been in charge of the internal affairs of the National Security Bureau, and he is very good at showing up, but the status of this person in the Han State is definitely a few.

Such a person actually appeared in front of him like this.

"General Yin, there is no malice here, there is no need to be so tense, right?" Zhang Yi was still smiling, the fat on his body trembled up and down like waves, "I've suffered a lot all the way, and I've lost a few pounds of meat, so I'm a guest from afar, right?" The general won't invite me to sit in the mansion and drink a cup of hot tea? ”

Yin Cuo stared at the other party for a long time, and suddenly laughed, "Okay, that's a good point, they are all guests from afar, since they are here, they naturally want to be invited to the mansion, but it is easy to enter this mansion, and if you want to come out, it is a little difficult." ”

"No, no, no, the general is a hero, a dignified husband, what will he do to me as a fat man, ah, hahaha!" Zhang Yi turned around and looked at his two companions, who seemed to have heard some funny news and laughed along.

"Please, Mr. Zhang Yi." Yin Cuo took a deep breath and stretched out his hand to give way.

In the living room, Zhang Yi stuffed the fat all over his body into the chair with some difficulty, took a sip of tea, and nodded again and again: "Good tea, good tea, I can't imagine that General Yin is still carrying such good tea all the way." ”

Yin Cuo's face was a little ugly: "Mr. Zhang Yi, did you come all the way to me just to sarcastically say a few words to me?" ”

"Where, where, that's the truth." Zhang Yi put the cup on the table beside him, "When I came to Jiaocheng this time, I didn't see General Tan or General Sima Yan, where did they go?" ”

"If General Tan is here, do you dare to come in?" Yin Cuo smiled: "Mr. Zhang Yi might as well guess, where did General Tan go?" ”

Zhang Yi also laughed, "Seriously, if General Tan Feng is here, I really don't dare to come in, because it is impossible for him and us to coexist, and he will most likely tie me up to the execution ground and slash my fat all over my body." As soon as Zhang Yi said this, the flesh on his body shook a few times, as if he was scolding.

"Could it be that Mr. Zhang Yi thinks that I won't be like this?" Yin Cuo smiled fiercely.

"No, no, no!" Zhang Yi waved his hand again and again, "General Yin is different from General Tan, General Yin can be persuaded, and General Tan will never turn back, this is the difference." ”

With a bang, Yin made a mistake, but before he could attack, Zhang Yi said slowly: "General Yin, if my guess is right, General Tan, General Sima should be preparing to attack Wuguan, right?" According to the speed at which they are advancing, they should have arrived in Shanyang County at this moment. ”

Yin Cuo's body froze suddenly, looking at Zhang Yi, the expression on his face was extremely frightened, as if he had seen a ghost. (To be continued.) )
