Jicheng.

This is the northeasternmost place in Jizhou, and Jicheng is not under the rule of Jizhou, but Wanshun County under the rule of Youzhou.

After Wanshun County and then go northeast, it is the boundary of Yanzhou.

Zhuang Wushu has been in Jicheng for half a year, recruiting troops while training.

The soldiers and horses recruited from this area, after the reorganization of the system, were sent to Jizhou to hand over to Li Qi.

In addition to recruiting and training, there are no major matters for Zhuang Wushu to worry about.

The days passed, full and empty, as if everyone would have such a contradictory feeling.

Every once in a while, the scouts sent to Yanzhou by Zhuang Wushu would return and report the war to him.

However, each time he returned, the scouts did not bring back any useful news.

Tang Pidi led 6,000 grassland cavalry into Yanzhou for half a year, but in fact, even Zhuang's invincible scouts couldn't find them.

Most of the time there was no trace, no news, as if it had disappeared out of thin air.

When I heard the news and rushed to go, I had already left.

Three months ago, the scouts reported that the Don had raided a large camp of rebels with six thousand cavalry.

In fact, the information inquired by the scouts is not accurate at all, where is the base camp of a rebel army......

The strength of that rebel army ranks among the top five among many teams in Yanzhou, and it is said that there are 70,000 or 80,000 people.

Tang Pi led the light horse, as if he had an eye in the sky, bypassed the base camp of this team, and marched a few hundred miles to the northeast.

Then a torch was lit for the traitor team called the Divine Blessing Army, and the camp was also lit.

Click and run.

But the Don rivaled them and they deliberately dropped a few flags, which were the flags of the rebel ranks that had bypassed them.

That rebel team is called the Backing Army.

Tang Pidi led the army to travel hundreds of miles, burned the camp of the Divine Blessing Army, and immediately ran away without the slightest hesitation.

The Divine Blessing Army was furious, seeing that the discarded flag was actually from the backing army, how could they bear it?

So Wang Errui, the leader of the Divine Blessing Army, immediately gathered all his troops, even if he fought hard, he had to breathe this out.

Tang Pidi had long inquired clearly, and the two rebel armies had always been not harmonious, and both sides looked down on each other.

The base camps of the two rebel armies are only three or four hundred miles apart, and the areas of control are adjacent, and there are often frictions.

The Divine Blessing Army killed the place of the backer army in one go, and the backer army fought before they knew what was going on.

Tang Pidi returned with 6,000 men, and abused the base camp of the Divine Blessing Army, which had almost no remaining troops.

ransacked the warehouse of the Divine Blessing Army, anyway, weapons and armor and other things, Tang couldn't look down on them.

Their equipment is all rubbish in the eyes of Don Pi.

Therefore, this general Wuyang, who was seriously influenced by Li Qi, ordered to bring only gold and silver treasures.

After robbing the warehouses of the Divine Blessing Army, Tang Pidi returned with the team.

Over there, the Shenyou Army and the Chaoshan Army were fighting lively, and they got news that the base camp had been raided.

At this moment, the Divine Blessing Army suddenly lost its fighting spirit, and Wang Errui had no choice but to order a retreat.

He wanted to leave, but how could the backer army let him go easily.

Yang Shuibo, the big leader of the backing army, was furious and led the army to chase and fight.

Tang Pidi waited until he led the army to chase him out, and then copied the base camp of the backer army.

It's still exactly the same code of conduct.

Only gold and silver treasures.

By the time the backer army and the Divine Blessing Army reacted, Tang Pidi had already run away with the team again.

This happened three months after Zhuang Wudi led his army to Jicheng, when Tang sent two thousand men back to escort a large amount of gold and silver treasures.

Zhuang Wushu was stunned at the time, let alone him, whoever saw it was stunned.

The party of two thousand men came back without a single vehicle, but each cavalryman was a transporter.

The gold and silver treasures brought back by 2,000 people were piled up in the courtyard of the Yamen of Jicheng into a small one

Mountain.

Then the two thousand people left again, and Zhuang Wushu looked at the small mountain with joy.

He immediately dispatched 2,000 men and horses to escort these military expenses back to Jizhou.

Seventeen or eighteen days ago, that is, when Zhuang Wudi arrived in this half a year, Tang Pidi sent people back again.

This time there were 2,000 people back, and the same thing was that everyone was a transporter.

Put the things down, and the men from the Nalan grassland left again.

They were in a hurry when they left, but they were not in a hurry to worry about an accident in the team.

It's such a fun thing, don't leave me in a hurry.

After another seven or eight days, the scouts returned.

The scout couldn't help but feel deeply guilty when he saw Zhuang Wuving's expectant eyes.

Because the team they sent out this time still didn't find any trace of Nalan Qi's team.

"The whole of Yanzhou is looking for them."

The scout sighed: "Not only we can't find it, but the thieves in the entire Yanzhou can't find it either. ”

He looked at Zhuang Wushu and said, "But when I came back this time, I heard the news about the remnants of the Baishan Army." ”

Zhuang Wudi's eyes widened suddenly: "Where is it?!" ”

"It's a long way from here, at the junction of Yanzhou and Bohai State."

Hearing this news, Zhuang Wudi's face changed significantly.

That place was too far away.

If you want to lead the army from Jicheng, you have to cross the entire Yanzhou.

In terms of direction, Zhuang was invincible at this time, in the southwest of Yanzhou, and the remnants of the Baishan Army were in the easternmost part of Yanzhou.

So Zhuang Wushu was a little annoyed and a little powerless.

It was impossible for him to take this army across the entire Yanzhou to attack the Baishan Army.

In that case, seven or eight times out of ten, this team of more than 12,000 people will be wiped out in Yanzhou.

The scout said, "The leader of the White Mountain Army who escaped from Jizhou before is named Di Chun. ”

"After he fled back to Yanzhou with the remnants of his army, he did not plan to stop near Jizhou, probably for fear of reprisals."

"He took the remnants of the army directly to a place close to the Bohai Kingdom, and it is said that he recognized the thief as his father and worshiped the King of Bohai as his father."

"Originally, the Baishan Army was a team supported by the Bohai Kingdom, and after Di Chun recognized the thief as his father, the King of Bohai spared no effort."

The scout looked at Zhuang Wushu and said, "Our team should be difficult to pass. ”

Zhuang Wushu took a deep breath and nodded: "Yes." ”

He looked at the scout and said, "Let's all go back and rest, I'll think about it myself." ”

Leaning back in his chair, Zhuang Wushu thought again and again, and finally gave up.

He is the general of the Ning Army and the second brother of Li Qi, and he can't take more than 10,000 people to die.

Even if he is restless day and night, he wants to avenge his eldest brother and kill the remnants of the Baishan Army cleanly.

At the same time, Yanzhou, shooting deer city.

This place is two thousand miles away from Jizhou, and it is close to the eastern border of Yanzhou.

Once Da Chu built a stone gate in the canyon southeast of Shelu City and sent troops to defend it.

But since the collapse of Great Chu, the border army here has not been supplied for a long time, and if they stay, they will all starve to death.

Therefore, the border army in the Canyon Pass City withdrew by itself, and now the flag of the Bohai State has been planted on the Pass City.

The terrain of the valley is special, and the border troops cannot be blamed for retreating, they can't survive without supplies.

The cliffs are steep, and there are mountains and rocks everywhere, so it is said that the climate does not allow for growing food, and the cold weather can be six or seven months a year.

It is said that it can be planted, but where is it planted? Even the weeds had to dig through the cracks in the rocks with all their might.

The border cities in the plains, if there is no supply from the imperial court, they can still rely on their own grain to survive for a while.

In addition to stones, there are not many trees and grass roots that can be eaten in Stone Town.

Now this deer shooting city can be regarded as a border city.

However, there was no border army in the city, and it was the rebels of the White Mountain Army who were stationed there.

Therefore, as long as the Bohai State sends troops, it can easily enter Yanzhou.

When Lao Yi was the leader of the Baishan Army before, the rapid rise of the Baishan Army in Yanzhou was not unrelated to the direct dispatch of troops from the Bohai State to help him.

The Great Chu border pass, the door is wide open, if it is next to the Black Martial Country, maybe the entire Yanzhou has fallen into the hands of the Black Warriors.

But the Bohai State is not good, it is too far behind.

The strategy of the Baishan Army has always been, eat yours and take yours, and then borrow troops to help me fight, this is all right.

But if the army of the Bohai State entered Yanzhou on a large scale, it would not work.

Lao Yi said at the beginning that if he let the Bohai people in, he would rob the whole of Yanzhou.

When the time comes, the whole Central Plains will scold him, not to mention fighting for the Central Plains to be the emperor, one person can drown him with a mouthful of foam.

Not to mention outside Yanzhou, inside Yanzhou, he will also attack him.

Therefore, the relationship between the Baishan Army and the Bohai State is also quite delicate.

The king of the Bohai Kingdom, according to the orders of the Heiwu Khan, supported the Great Chu rebels, why didn't he want to live in the Central Plains by himself?

Even if you can't live in the Central Plains, you can snatch the entire Yanzhou, one Yanzhou is bigger than two Bohai countries.

But the King of Bohai also knew that it was impossible for the Baishan Army to open the gate easily.

Shooting Deer City is now the base camp of the Baishan Army.

Di Chun's strategy against the Bohai people was different from that of the big boss Lao Yi.

At that time, Lao Yi's attitude was quite clear, that is, he resolutely refused to let the Bohai people enter the customs.

But Di Chun has wanted to do this more and more recently.

Let the Bohai people come in to fight, and let the Bohai people fight the rebels in Yanzhou, it is best to lose both.

Only then can he have the opportunity to occupy the entire Yanzhou and have the opportunity to attack the Central Plains again.

Now the Baishan Army has nearly 100,000 troops, but Di Chun also knows that most of these 100,000 people are rabble with little combat power.

Under the advantage, everyone is like a tiger.

If there is a slight setback, it will immediately languish.

Bohai is ruthless and warlike to kill, if you let them in......

But Di Chun is also worried that once he does this, he will be a sinner through the ages, and he is not afraid of being a sinner for the ages if he has ambition to be the emperor, and he is also afraid of being attacked by the masses.

He has been rocking from side to side for a few days.

On the streets of Shooting Deer City.

Tang Pi looked no different from a local man, wearing coarse cloth clothes, growing a beard, and looking tall and rugged.

He bought two strings of sugar gourds on the side of the road and handed them a bunch to Brother Titeng, who was beside him.

"How's this place?"

Don asked.

Brother Titeng also wears the same outfit, with the same beard.

"It's okay to look at this time, but you can freeze to death in winter."

Brother Titeng sighed: "It's cold in winter on our grassland, but it's much better than this." ”

Tang Pidi laughed, looked at a green building in the distance, and said with a smile: "I invite you to warm up." ”

Polti laughed.

"The Qinglou is a good place."

Tang Pidi said as he walked: "There is more news to be found here than anywhere else. ”

Brother Titeng asked puzzledly, "Brother Tang Pi, why are we here?" This is too far away from Jizhou, once there is an accident, it is difficult for us to retreat. ”

"Here, here is pulling out a thorn."

Tang Pidi smiled and said: "The thorn in the heart of our head is also a thorn in Brother Zhuang's heart, and it is also a thorn in the Central Plains. ”

As soon as he turned around and bought two more lamb skewers, Brother Titeng smiled and said, "It's better to eat this thing." ”

Tang Pidi glanced at the distance, this place was not far from the Shooting Deer City General's Mansion.

"Let's go."

Tang Pidi pulled Brother Titeng: "Let's go drink some flower wine." ”
