Yangzhou has a total of Jiujiang, Lujiang, Danyang, Huiji, Jian'an, Wujun, Yuzhang, Luling and other seven counties more than 160 counties, and the mountain people are common in these counties, only Jiujiang and Danyang, Jian'an is slightly less, because these few boundaries, either the people are strong, or the core of the land, or there is no mountain forest surrounding, not suitable for mountain people to live.

And in a few days, Yuzhang County has Yuhan County, Chaisang County, Ai County, Gan County, Yandu County, Wuyang County, Poyang County and other seven counties were attacked by Shanyue, Shanyue did not attack the county, but attacked the granary of Mintun, at first because Shanyue cut off the post station, so that the surrounding counties could not be contacted, but after perceiving the abnormality, the news was still not able to conceal, reported at all levels, and reported to Duan Cheng here.

Because the Son of Heaven ordered Duan Cheng to be in charge of the soldiers of Yangzhou County, and Duan Cheng received the rank of General Zhengnan, in terms of name and authority, he was the highest-level commander of Yangzhou, and even, under his order, even the surrounding Jiaozhou and Jingzhou, and Yuzhou had to help him in a certain aspect.

Many soldiers, after hearing this, were furious, you know, their 40,000 soldiers are in Yuzhang, these guys dare to wreak havoc everywhere under their eyes, when was the northern army and the southern army so despised by the enemy?

For a while, everyone asked for battle, and at this time, the mountain guide recruited by Duan Cheng had also rushed to the camp, and when they saw the imposing and armed Hanting soldiers, they felt that their decision to surrender was the right one, how long could a madman like You Tuchi live?

Duan Cheng knelt in the camp tent, the case in front of him was sent by the Yangzhou Assassin Shi envoy, this map is very important, private individuals are not allowed to customize, has been privately hidden with the Yangzhou Assassin Mansion, Duan Cheng carefully watched this filial piety and the emperor made of the map, frowned, he was not moving before, on the one hand, he was waiting for the guide, and secondly, he was afraid of being pinched by these mountain people to run around.

After all, these mountain people are very familiar with the local area, and they also made the attack on Huiji County known to everyone, he didn't believe that a commander who could gather 100,000 mountain people would be such a fool, so he chose to stay put, mainly to get the other party's movements, and now, he learned the scope of the other party's activities, but it was in Yuzhang County.

If there is any difference between Yuzhang and the surrounding counties, probably, this is the richest territory in the entire Yangzhou, and in addition, the baggage of the soldiers of the Southern Expedition is completely hidden in Xingan County, Yuzhang County, do they want to cut off the grain and grass of our army? Otherwise, why would you choose to do it in Yuzhang? Duan Cheng squinted his eyes and pondered for a long time before he summoned many soldiers to discuss in the tent.

Many soldiers walked in, looking at Duan Cheng eagerly, waiting for his military order, Duan Cheng looked at everyone calmly, but ignored their enthusiasm, turned to look at the guide, and asked, "Are there any mountains and forests around Xingan County?" The guide thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "There are many streams here, and there are no big mountains and forests, he squinted his eyes and asked: "Before you came here, did you know that we were stationed in Xingan County?" ”

"I don't know!"

"Humph! How dare you deceive me! Come! Duan Cheng suddenly turned his face and shouted at the soldier, the man was very frightened, and hurriedly begged: "General, I didn't know the whereabouts of the army before, General, I really don't know!" Several soldiers directly subdued him and looked at Duan Cheng, who said viciously: "This is the only way to go to Huiji, and the grain and grass gathered here again, how can you not know?" It must have lied to me, killed! ”

The soldier raised his sword sharply, and the man shouted, "General! Lujiang and Danyang are the only way to get to Huiji! I was wronged! Duan Cheng waved his hand to stop the soldiers, his face was a little displeased, and he asked: "Don't you know that the grain and grass transportation in the entire Yangzhou and Xingan County are unknown?" ”。

The man howled and cried, and said: "Naturally, I know, just here, the north leads to Lujiang Danyang, the east can go to Huiji, the west can go to Jiangxia and Changsha, and the south can go to Guiyang and Nanhai, but every time there is a war in the south, the grain and grass are gathered here, how can I know that the army is here because of this?" Duan Cheng nodded secretly, this person is not a local guide, and he still knows quite well about the surrounding counties.

He motioned for the soldiers to let go of the man, looked at the crowd, and said: "These days, everyone is not allowed to go out, completely hide in the city, do not raise flags and drums, do not make stoves to raise smoke, and the entire Xingan County must also quit smoking, close the city gates, and do not enter or exit!" ”

Before he finished speaking, all the soldiers were in an uproar, how could this general, who has always been known for his bravery, not be able to give the order to retreat when the surrounding county towns were attacked? The other party is just some bandits, what about 100,000? Everyone was puzzled, and Sun Jian even shouted: "Lord General, why are you shrinking, please ask the general to order me to fight, I only need 3,000 soldiers, and I can get the head of You Tuchi for the general!" ”

Dian Wei, Huang Zhong and others also walked out with their fists hugged, all asking for battle, they were in Yuzhang County, how could they let thieves run rampant and around, so where is their majesty, where is the majesty of the Han Dynasty? What's more, they came here to kill the enemy and seize the merits of war, if they hide in the city like this, how can they get the merits of war and be promoted? Lu Zhi, Dong Zhuo and others did not speak.

Huangfu Song stepped forward, his father Huangfu Festival, is the former Yanmen County Taishou, has also fought with foreign enemies many times, known for his military exploits, and his uncle, Huangfu Gui, is a famous general with Zhang Huan and Duan Cheng, known as Liangzhou Sanming, he looks similar to his uncle, grew up in the army since childhood, and acted quite arrogantly in the army, he asked: "But Duan Gong wants to ambush the thief here?" ”

Duan Cheng looked at this young man meaningfully, compared to Sun Jian's others, this person is still more mature and can take on big things.

Seeing that Duan Cheng was not born, Huangfu Song had already understood Duan Cheng's thoughts in his heart, although he also had some doubts in his heart, how did Duan Cheng know that the other party would attack here, but he didn't ask any more, the prestige of the main general in the army could not be violated, when he was young, he was almost killed by Huangfu Gui by military law because he called Huangfu Gui his uncle in the army, and he was particularly afraid of military law in his heart.

Lu Zhi frowned, stepped forward, and said, "Even if we want to ambush here, can we send a few tunqu to rescue the granaries of the surrounding counties, why should we sit back and watch our comrades die and the people be plundered?" I also hope that the general will take care of the suffering of the people of Yangzhou! Duan Cheng squinted his eyes, paused, and said, "If you kill tens of thousands of thieves with the lives of thousands of people, why not?" ”

Hearing this, Lu Zhi was furious and asked, "Don't you take it as your duty to protect the people of the country?" ”

"Kill thieves to protect the people! Protect one person? Bao Wanye? Duan Cheng asked rhetorically, Lu Zhi gritted his teeth and looked at the soldiers around him, several captains were also a little angry, especially Yangzhou disciples like Sun Jian, they got up and said: "Please give the general an order to order martial law in the surrounding counties, and the soldiers guarding the granaries to retreat!" Duan Cheng said coldly: "The matter of Anmin is the matter of county officials!" ”

"I, just to defeat the enemy, if I dare to ignore the military order again, behead!!"

He looked at the many soldiers coldly, and everyone also understood that he did what he said, Lu Zhi let out a sad cry and turned to leave.

Everyone lamented, Sun Jian clenched his fists, his eyes full of anger. I want to chat with more like-minded people, "Chat with more book friends about your favorite books."
