Chapter 764: The Army Coming by a Detour

Huguan, the overall topography is high in the north and low in the south, high in the east and low in the west.

The surrounding rocks are also very interesting, like a huge staircase, straight up and down, and even the top of the mountain is flat, forming a concave character.

Most of the mountaintops are a paradise for birds, and it is precisely because of these birds that some plants such as tree seeds, grass seeds, etc., are brought in, and they grow freely and undisturbed. Because of the straight up and down mountain, even the weeds are difficult to stand on, and although the top is flat, it is extremely difficult for people to climb.

The pass of Huguan is built between two mountain peaks, blocking the north-south passage, and directly connecting the vertical mountain in the east-west direction, forming a structure that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

On the hills on both sides, there are sentry posts that are carved out a little higher by taking advantage of the city walls, but nothing more, and it is almost impossible to carve a road to the top of the mountain from the nearly vertical stone wall.

Above the kettle, Jia Qu looked coldly at the busy laborers under the city.

Because of the construction of the urn city, so naturally a lot of labor was levied, at this moment, these laborers are under the leadership of the officials of the Huguan Workshop, moving bricks and moving soil, like a group of busy worker ants.

Huang Cheng's gaze also followed Jia Qu, raised his eyebrows and said, "Liang Dao, do you mean that there are people who are mixed in with the old thief?" Aren't these people recruited by the Linghu family from all over the countryside? Does that mean ......?"

Huang Cheng's eyes glanced at the location of Linghu's mansion in the city.

Jia Qu shook his head and said, "No, I asked, because before the rainy season comes, the adobe of the urn city must be tamped first, so there is a shortage of manpower, so I temporarily recruited some more ......."

"Then why ......," Huang Cheng said suspiciously, "Or do you have to wait for these people to do the same?" ”

Jia Qu shook his head and said, "The problem now is that these personnel alone are simply not enough to threaten the city gate, and Yang Tingshi must have other arrangements...... There were even other people who entered the city......"

"The urn city adobe will be completed in three or four days, so ......," Jia Qu turned to look at Huang Cheng and said.

Huang Cheng raised his head and smiled, then restrained his smile and said, "Okay!" If the old thief dares to come...... Hum! ”

While the two of them were talking, they suddenly saw a soldier rushing from the south of the city, and he was panting on the city wall: "A large number of people have appeared in the south of the city, about four or five thousand people, and they are camping in the remnants of the camp in the south of the city!" "As soon as Zhang Yang died before, the camp he set up was demolished, and only some useless wreckage remained.

Jia Qu and Huang Cheng glanced at each other in surprise, and immediately set off for the south of the city.

At the wreckage of the original camp in the south of Huguan City, Fang Yue sat under a tree and watched the soldiers of the army start to camp busily.

There's no way, under the kettle, this place is more suitable for camping, so although it's messy and ugly, it's okay to clean and tidy up......

Separated by a kettle, although Fang Yue had an agreement with Yang Zan before, it was still unknown whether things would develop as Yang Zan said.

Whether it's worth it or not, Fang Yue doesn't know, but you can try.

Money, power, all of this, Fang Yue likes it very much.

And to get this, you have to pay something.

The Montenegrin army has obviously retreated into the mountains, and this time it has returned in vain.

Although Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang is a celebrity, and when it comes to scriptures, he is also a man with a red face and a black heart. During this period of time, although it was Yuan Shao's instructions to ride the car, Wang Kuang also took this opportunity to scavenge a lot.

Encourage guests to take the lead......

What kind of move can someone come up with?

Fang Yue frowned.

He led his troops out several times in a row, but he didn't get much in mobilizing the army.

When he couldn't find the Black Mountain Army, Fang Yue also thought about walking around the neighborhood, finding some remote villages, and then ......

However, in this way of dealing with the errand, Fang Yue can control his own personal guards, but he can't control the mouths of all the soldiers, in case any of them leak out, or they are greedy for a bounty and give their head to Wang Kuang, then not only will they be useless, but they will also be guilty.

If it really falls into the hands of Wang Kuang, how can anyone have an easy time!

It's even more ferocious than the Ten Permanent Servants!

Therefore, Fang Yue also has the idea of changing the court, and now Yang Zan has come to the door, although there is a certain risk, but how can it be said that Hongnong Yang is much better than Wang Kuang, who was born in Yanzhou, right?

Yang Zan has said a lot of words and promised a lot before, Fang Yue seems that his words must be true and false, false and true, but one of them is indeed true - the current world is chaotic, and there are soldiers in hand, so he has the power to protect himself.

But to master the soldiers, money and food are naturally indispensable.

Maybe start with this kettle?

Seeing the wall of Huguan from afar, looking at the mountain rocks and city walls that went straight up and down, Fang Yue couldn't help but admire, it was really dangerous!

This kind of pass, although there is no moat, but the wide trench is not vegetarian, and only needs to defend one side, even if the besieging side has a military advantage, there is no way to use it, if it is not exhausted, or the inside and outside should be combined, relying on force alone to forcibly detain the pass, I am afraid it is a bottomless pit, I don't know how many soldiers to fill in......

"General!"

One of the soldiers ran over and said, "Close the call and ask for the reason." ”

"Hmm......" Fang Yue raised her eyebrows and said, "...... Let's just say that we came on the order of Yuan Che to follow the traces of the Black Mountain thieves, and a lot of grain and grass were consumed on the way, so I came here to purchase and supplement one or two, and I will leave in a few days. ”

After listening to Sergeant Fang Yue's reply, Jia Qu and Huang Cheng looked at each other, this reason seemed to be reasonable, but ......

Chased the Montenegrin Army, chased here?

Then there was no supply, and I came to Huguan to purchase grain and grass?

Jia Qu narrowed his eyes, pondered for a while, and said, "This Fang Hanoi, how untrue the words are......"

There seemed to be nothing wrong with the words, but Jia Qu was a little unconvinced.

Now Yang Zan is like a poisonous snake beside the couch, Jia Qu has to cheer up his spirit, and when he heard Fang Yue's words, he naturally beat a small drum in his heart......

Generally speaking, it is indeed possible for Yuan Cheqi to order Hanoi County to cooperate in the suppression of the Montenegrin army, but once the Montenegrin army retreats back into the deep mountains, most of them will also retreat, how can there be any reason to continue to follow up until they are short of food and grass?

In this area of Taihang Mountain, although Huguan is indeed a good supplementary point, shouldn't it cost grain and grass to go in and out?

Jia Qu had basically determined that Fang Yue's sudden appearance here was mostly ill-intentioned, but he couldn't say how far and how far he went, after all, now the other party's banner was only to come to purchase grain and grass, and it was in the name of Yuan Cheqi, if he rashly refused, wouldn't it be to sprinkle sand in Yuan Cheqi's eyes?

So, what should be done now?
