Zhao Yun stayed in Lingjiang City for a few more days, until Gan Yi and others safely transported the important materials left by Tongtianjiang, and then handed over the military affairs to Mi Fang, and after repeated instructions, he led more than 30,000 elite soldiers, with the Ganning Jinfan Army as the vanguard, and the troops pointed directly at Pujiang County.

The two counties of Pujiang and Lingjiang are Zhongshan in the west, Tianwu City in the northwest, and Jingwu River in the east, which is a relatively wealthy place for Tianwu.

Lingjiang Huang Ken only knew how to rectify the county, and did not repair the army, resulting in a large number of soldiers, and he was afraid of Zhao Yunwei's name, and after the three counties in the southwest were quickly broken, he accepted the city and surrendered, and the county soldiers and county soldiers were reorganized, and the Shi family had no choice but to accept the reform.

The most important thing is that the people in power such as the county guard of Pujiang County and the county captain are all Pujiang Shi and Hu people, and they have been in Pujiang for more than ten years.

Shi Hu two families are the rise of Emperor Yongqi period, when the Eastern Wilderness Kou rebellion, Emperor Qi Crusade East, Pujiang people Shi Lei, Hu Xiao fought bravely, not afraid of death, great victory, because of the merit of the generals, the title of the marquis, after the Emperor Qi returned to the sky, the two saw the undercurrent in the court, did not dare to stay longer, so they bribed Wang Lu with money, and were able to return to Pujiang to serve.

With Shi Lei as the county guard, Hu Xiao as the county leader, operating in Pujiang for more than ten years, the family wealth is more than ten thousand, early heard that the Wuguan army was defeated, Zhao Yundong came, so he summoned the whole county to fight the soldiers as many as possible, and coerced and lured the county clans, the formation of the Shi clan alliance, actually got forty or fifty thousand people, day by day, drilled day by day, gathered in the Wakou Pass in Wajia County, south of Pujiang County, just waiting for Zhao Yun to arrive.

However, it was said that Gan Ning took the position of the vanguard of the Eastern Route Army, abandoned the ship, and traveled by land, with two big flags on the left and right, one with [Jiaolong Gan in the Water] and the other with [Jinfan].

Behind the three thousand brocade sails are all helmets and silver feathers, half armor and half robes, everyone is equipped with a strong and good horse, a long knife to chop horses, majestic and high-spirited, take the avenue directly to Wajia County.

The Shihu family is a martial arts clan, and the children of the clan have also practiced martial arts since childhood, studying hard military books, and now the great enemy is present, without fear, everyone is brave, and they must be the first to fight and break their vanguard Ganning.

Shi Hu and the others knew that Gan Ning was famous all over the world, brave and invincible, stopped the juniors, did not want Shi Lei's second son, Shi Da, who was eighteen years old, was proud of his personality, and thought that he was successful in martial arts, so he secretly carried Shi Lei on his back, so he took one hundred and ten horsemen and went out of the camp to fight Gan Ning, and his brother Shi Ming was afraid that Shi Da's meritorious service would threaten his status, so he also summoned hundreds of steps to ride under the pretext of recovering Shi Da, and then went out of the camp gate.

Gan Ning secretly thought about the strategy of breaking the enemy when he was marching, and he thought that Shi Hu and the two were well-known generals since the Yongqi period, and they were not mediocre people, and now they saw that the fierce generals of Tianwu had fallen one after another, and they did not dare to fight.

Gan Ning was thinking about how to lure Shi Hu and the others out of the city, but he heard Tan Ma Fei's report: "General, there is a small general blocking the road at the intersection ahead, and he wants to fight the general by name." ”

Gan Ning frowned, secretly annoyed in his heart, dragged the river and broke the wave knife, and accelerated the speed of the horse.

After a short walk, I saw a small general at the intersection, the appearance was quite majestic, an iron gun in his hand, sitting on a yellow horse, seeing that it was Gan Ning, the iron gun pointed far away, and shouted: "Gan Ning, I am Shi Da, the son of Shi Lei, Shou Shi Lei of Pujiang County!" I heard that you are rampant through the Yangtze River, known as invincible on land and water, and now I Shida wants to see how capable you are, and you dare to come to my border! ”

"Hehehe......"

Gan Ning chuckled, stopped the army, and said disdainfully, "Who am I, it turned out to be a little doll whose hair has not yet grown, I won't kill you today, you go back quickly and call your father." ”

"Master, I am an adult this year, and I have set up a crown, and I dare to bully me! Take me a shot first! Shi Da was furious, and rode a horse and a gun to take Gan Ning.

"I don't know if I'm alive or dead!"

Gan Ning snorted lightly, did not back down, and waved his knife to meet it, but he was secretly planning in his heart.

The two exchanged horses, knives and guns, and fought for twenty battles without winning or losing.

Gan Ning slashed several times in a row, slashing left and right, as if he was doing it with all his might, Shi Da was exhausted, stopped panting, and shouted at Gan Ning: "Don't rest, the master hasn't eaten today, when I go back for lunch, I'll kill you again!" ”

Gan Ning's face remained unchanged, and he shouted disdainfully: "Quickly go back to the city and call your father, I won't kill you!" ”

Shi Da was furious, and was about to fight again, Shi Ming arrived, and saw Gan Ning and Shi Da fighting from afar, and shouted with a gun: "Under Shi Ming, General Gan will give me a lot of advice!" ”

"Just advise, your two brothers will stay!"

Gan Ning pretended to be angry, and walked in a chain with Shi Dama, fighting for thirty or forty times in a row, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser.

Shi Ming struggled to make a move, ran out of the battle circle, and said secretly in his heart: "The Hengjiang Iron Rope is nothing more than that, and the general of Southern Xinjiang wants to be in name only." ”

"Live today, if you go to my Wajia County, you will have no return!"

One of the two brothers was unable to fight anymore, and the other had no intention of fighting, so they each brought their soldiers and horses to turn their horses' heads and went back to Wajia Pass.

Seeing that Gan Yi wanted to speak and stopped, Gan Ning explained with a light smile: "This is just a plan for arrogant soldiers, Shi Lei and Hu Xiao have gathered fifty or sixty thousand people, although they are all indiscriminate, but if they are all hiding in the city, it will be difficult for us to take it." ”

Gan Yi nodded as if he didn't understand.

No one can stand still, everything is running!

Lingjiang City is not too far away from Wajia Pass, Zhao Yun did not configure foot soldiers for Gan Ning, Gan Ning took three thousand horses to Wajia Pass to show off his might for a while, and saw that the pass was strong and difficult to find flaws, so he led the troops to retreat more than ten miles, and most of Zhao Yun's men and horses who had arrived converged.

That night, the soldiers rested.

Zhao Yun discussed with Gao Shun, Zhu Huan and Gan Ning.

Looking at the detailed map of Tianwu Prefecture and Wajia County, which has been expanded several times, Zhao Yun's thick sword eyebrows frowned slightly, and he opened the topic: "Pujiang River is bordered by Jingwu River in the east, Zhongshan County in the west, and Tianwu City in the northwest. I don't want Shi Hu and the two people to have a lot of skills, secretly connect with the county scholars, strengthen the Wajia Pass, although we have a lot of siege weapons, but if it is a strong attack, I am afraid that this battle will be bloody Jingwujiang, all of which can be red! ”

"General Zilong, don't worry, Tianwu is now just the end of the strong crossbow, the soldiers have no heart to fight, the people do not support, our army only needs to besiege but not attack, and when the time comes, Pujiang will surrender without a fight." Gao Shun comforted.

"Although the Wajia Pass is tall, the city wall is solid, the space is not too big, I have fought with the two sons of the Shi family at noon, the fraud is similar, Tianwu is most afraid of my southern Xinjiang generals, now I see it is just so, it will be vain to have a heart of victory, although Shi Hu and the two were brothers, but it has been many years, there must be a gap, I guess one of them, must go out of the pass and set up another village, and I wait until the time to break the camp first, and then take the pass, each break!" Gan Ning said confidently.

Zhu Huan listened, and also said: "Xizuo has already entered the Pujiang River, according to Xizuo, the relationship between Hu Xiao and Shi Lei has indeed become a little intriguing because of the struggle between the younger generations. ”

Zhao Yun listened to it and instructed everyone: "The Ten Tiger Generals of Tianwu have not fought with Shi Hu and the others, and the two of them should not know much about our skills, Xingba You and Hugh Mu will take turns to fight tomorrow, if the enemy fights, they will only fight as a draw, and the performance should be realistic, don't let the opponent know the details." ”

"General, don't worry." Gan Ning and Zhu Huan both promised.

The next day, the sun was shining, Zhu Huan and the soldiers of the headquarters were full of food and drink, so they left the camp early and went to Wajia Pass to scold and fight.

Shi Lei, Hu Xiao and Shi Ming Shida, who received the report, and a group of second-generation children of the two families all came to watch from the gate.

Nearly fifty years old, Shi Lei, who had a half-white beard, looked at Zhu Huan, who was galloping back and forth after the pass, constantly scolding and fighting, and sighed: "Time has become really fast, I think back then, the scene of my brothers following the first emperor is still vivid, but now the two of us can't lift the knife, and the world is younger." ”

"Brother is humble, although the two of us are old now, but not everyone can bully, Hao Jun is incompetent, he has been stationed in Tianwu for a long time, and he is full of wine bags and rice bags, which led to repeated defeats and lost my Tianwu face, this Zhu Huan is young, but he is so ashamed to speak, so he let my son Hu Huan go out of the customs and fight with him, and frustrate the spirit of the Southern Xinjiang Army."

Although Hu Xiao doesn't look vigorous anymore, he still looks relatively burly, obviously he was also a fierce general when he was young, and there was a young man with a tiger's back behind him, obviously Hu Huan, the son of Hu Xiao.

"Zhu Huan has joined forces with Chu Yi and Zhao Yun since Tianyun Pass, and he has been guarding the north with Zhao Yun for a long time, and he has made great achievements, and he is afraid that Hu Huanxian's nephew is young and will not be able to defeat that Zhu Huan." Shi Lei looked a little worried and hesitant.

"Uncle underestimated his nephew, yesterday Brother Ming and Brother Da went out of the pass, and fought with the mighty Gan Ning, and they were able to retreat with their whole body, don't say that this Zhu Huan is the famous Zhao Yun Gaoshun in that place, I'm afraid it's just some people who sell their reputation!"

Hu Huan has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he has beaten invincible opponents of his peers, even Shi Mingshida, the two heroes of the Shi family, is not as good as Shi Mingshida, and naturally has pride in his heart, but now he is underestimated by Shi Lei, but he is not happy.

"The military discipline of the coalition army is not strict, and it is embarrassing to fight on a large scale, but even if the virtuous nephew is so confident, then the uncle and your three thousand elite soldiers will go out to meet the battle."

Shi Lei saw that Hu Huan looked unconvinced, and sneered in his heart, but there was a solemn look on his face.

"If you don't defeat that Zhu Huan, don't die, you are young, and the future is still far away." Hu Xiao instructed.

"Got it."

Hu Huan responded, led three thousand county soldiers, and went out of the pass, without waiting for the soldiers to line up, he took the lead, dragged a big knife, and flew to get Zhu Huan.

"Zhu Huan, you don't enjoy happiness in southern Xinjiang, you come to attack my Pujiang, you should have this trouble today, suffer death!"

Hu Huan was violent, dragging a long big knife, and the horse was flying, looking like he would kill with one move.

"Could it be that the person who came is a master?"

Zhu Huan was also taken aback, the battle with Gan Ning a few days ago caused Zhu Huan to be a little unconfident.

Between the lightning and flint, the two clashed, with a bang, there seemed to be a flickering fire, both of them had numb arms, and they didn't shoot again, and their respective pegasus staggered.

"Yikes!"

Turning the horse's head, Hu Huan still made the first move, accompanied by a long shout, the sharp and fierce big knife fell from the sky and slashed towards Zhu Huan.

Although Hu Huan is powerful, Zhu Huan is not a vulgar person, and under calm observation, he quickly flicked the winger gun against the hilt.

The two of them just like this, you attack and I defend, you defend and I attack, and Pegasus fights for thirty rounds in a row, regardless of victory or defeat.

Hu Huan was a fledgling, who had fought so happily, immediately took off his armor, only put on his strong clothes, shouted again and again, walked with Zhu Huan's horse, and fought fifty or sixty times, the drums on both sides shook the sky, and the soldiers were shouting non-stop.

Until the scorching sun shone in the sky, Hu Huan and Zhu Huan were still competing, the two of them were competing for strength on the left and right, their arms were full of green tendons, and their eyes were staring, as if they were eager to devour each other.

In the end, the two of them let out a dull cold snort at the same time, each collected his blade, and returned to his own formation.

"You are young, but your strength is not small, why don't you join me in southern Xinjiang, and make contributions in troubled times, isn't it beautiful!" Zhu Huan raised his voice.

"Phew! After I am a prince, how can I succumb to a thief, and persuade you to go back quickly and tell that Chu Junyao to go back to southern Xinjiang, otherwise he will die without a place to be buried! Hu Huan gasped and sneered disdainfully.

"I don't know what is alive or dead! By thy words today, I will kill thee one day. Today's soldiers are hungry and thirsty, and when I go back to eat and drink enough, I will come to kill you again!" ”

Zhu Huan also said with an exhausted look.

"I'm afraid you don't have that ability!" Hu Huan did not back down.

Both sides let out their own cruel words and retreated.

In the afternoon, Gan Ning came to fight again, this time it was the Shi brothers who went to war, the two brothers saw that Hu Huan was in the limelight, where they were willing to rest, and immediately brought three thousand steps to rush down the pass, and the wheel Gan Ning took turns to confront, although the battle was repeatedly defeated, but with superb marksmanship and horsemanship, he could easily retreat, and fought until the evening, Gan Ning retreated.

Shi Hu and the others, who were watching the battle in the city, also saw that there was a reason, and they secretly had a plan in their hearts.
