As soon as Wang Zhengling left, the masters of the rivers and lakes recruited by Chen Ziling were single-handedly killed by Jiang Xiaolou, the third son of Jianchi, and achieved a martial arts legend. With Jiang Xiaolou returning to Hedong City to recuperate, the battle of Qin Yan officially kicked off; And this Hedong City has also turned into a flesh and blood grinding plate, rapidly consuming the vital strength of the soldiers on both sides.

In dozens of days of fierce battles, not only turned Hedong City into a purgatory on earth, but also scheduled a terrifying plague that could break out at any time. On the day when the city of Hedong was broken, Chen Ziling was ready to immediately lead the army eastward and pursue Zhou Chang'an, who had fled, and then he remembered a very important question!

The uncle Wang Zhengling, who patted his chest and said that he was going to clean up the grain road, did he "lose it"?

In fact, the specific whereabouts of Wang Zhengling's department are not difficult to deduce.

Or, there were really dozens of horse bandits and wanderers who plundered grain and grass, and exterminated 8,000 heavily armored black horsemen in one fell swoop; Or, it was the uncle of the country, Wang Zhengling, who returned from suppressing the bandits, but was frightened by the bloody and tragic Battle of Hedong City; Quietly led his heavy cavalry to flee back to the land of Sanqin......

So, Chen Ziling wrote a letter, wrote down the cause and effect of the incident, and sent it to the Qin King Zhou Changfeng's car to ask about the whereabouts of the uncle and how to deal with it; Then the letter was lost to the sea, and there was no reply.

Zhou Changfeng never mentioned Wang Zhengling's attitude, which can be regarded as giving Chen Ziling an explanation in disguise. Obviously, this uncle of the country was indeed cowardly, relying on the identity of the emperor's relatives and relatives to escape in front of the battle, and ran back to Chang'an City to hide and relax.

Of course, Zhou Changfeng received this letter, but he is not only the king of a country, but also Wang Zhengling's brother-in-law; In addition, it is not easy for the queen mother to be pregnant with a pearl, and she can't stand the fright, so she can only make this matter a small matter and not mention it for the time being.

It can be seen from this that for the disappeared eight thousand black horses, Zhou Changfeng and Chen Ziling can be described as beating wolves with a hemp rod, and no one dares to study it at that time; In addition, the battle situation ahead has taken a sharp turn for the worse, and as the days go by, everyone can't even think about where these eight thousand black horsemen went......

No one will disappear for no reason, and the same is true of Uncle Wang Zhengling.

On that day, in front of Chen Ziling and the soldiers of the Qin army, he beheaded the cousin of the grain supervisor who was short of food; Subsequently, he made a promise to deal with it impartially and personally, led his eight thousand black horsemen, and left the battlefield of Hedong City with great momentum, and went straight to the place where the incident occurred - at the foot of Li Mountain in the west of Hedong City.

The Lishan Mountains have been a treasure land of feng shui since ancient times, with a very long history and extremely rich products. The mountains are rich in copper and iron ore veins, which can be used to forge sword ceremonies for the royal family; At the foot of the mountain, there is also a salt pond in Hedong City, which can enrich the country and support the people; Therefore, this is not only the cradle of Huayu civilization, but also the most important silver and armory of all dynasties.

From the topography point of view, Lishan runs along the Yu River, the mountain is narrow and deep, divides the hinterland of the Huayu Central Plains and the northwest, and becomes a natural barrier between Sanqin and the Central Plains.

If you want to take Sanqin, you must first pass through Li Mountain.

The northern slope of Li Mountain is steep and rugged, while the southern slope is relatively gentle. Therefore, this mountain stream official road was naturally dug on the south side of the mountain.

On the frontal battlefield, the impact power of the heavy armored cavalry is unrivaled, and the protection is even more unfortunate; But now in the face of the Li Shan Trail, which can only accommodate one person and one horse passing side by side, it seems very clumsy.

The smooth and hard horseshoe, stepping on the muddy and wet mountain path, must be on high vigilance to avoid accidentally sliding down the cliff and breaking a broken bone. Of course, such a laborious way of walking cannot be sustained for a long time; Before he reached the Erli Mountain Road, Wang Zhengling immediately made a decision, commanded the whole army to withdraw from the mountain road, and reformulated a new plan to enter the mountains to suppress bandits.

It can be seen that Wang Zhengling was able to lead the black horse, although it was the result of climbing the relationship and going through the back door, but he himself only lacked some practical experience and was not a pure second ancestor.

"Whew! Fuck, I'm standing on the ground! Uncle Guo, if you want me to say that we should go back first, right? Anyway, we also took off the horses and armor, and each person brought some food, and then we went into the mountains to search for people lightly. ”

A black cavalryman who was sweating profusely and lying on the ground gasping for breath shouted to Wang Zhengling, who was pacifying the war horse.

At this time, Wang Zhengling also felt a little regretful, he had patronized to give Chen Ziling an explanation, but he forgot to consider the actual combat environment. They had only walked two miles out of the mountain road, and the soldiers were already panting under the heavy and clumsy armor! At this moment, along the edge of everyone's iron armor, a drop of sweat is like a pearl with a broken thread, constantly falling on the dirt ground, smashing out small puddles one after another!

As we all know, cavalry entering the mountains must be self-defeating, not to mention that they are still a heavy armored cavalry team! So the opinion put forward by this man is actually not unreasonable. After all, to be able to enter the black cavalry army, skilled archers and horses, and brave combat are the most basic requirements; And the 8,000 brothers under Wang Zhengling, even if they took off their iron armor and left their war horses, they were all proud generals with one and ten, and they were not afraid of any opponent.

However, the reason is that Wang Zhengling can bring people back to Hedong City to "change clothes" now, and he will definitely not be able to pull off that face!

When they left the camp in Hedong City, their eight thousand iron horsemen rushed all the way to the west! Tens of thousands of horses' hooves hit the ground to bring out an earth-shattering momentum, what a majestic and majestic picture? It's only been a few hours now, and they haven't even seen the face of the horse bandits, so they went back to their homes in a gloomy way.

As for unloading the armor and tethering the horse in situ and entering the forest to search for people, not to mention! Eight thousand sets of superb armor harnesses, eight thousand Great Food War Horses, and those solid long-pole horses, all of them are white silver! If the cousin who is not a good person in his own family is a person who harms the public and enriches himself, then it is okay to say; But once there are really bandits in this mountain, people fall into the grass just to seek wealth, and there is no reason to confront them head-on.

Once they rely on the convenience of the familiar path, they will steal these treasures and sell them around the rear......

When that time comes, the fun will be big! 8,000 heavy cavalrymen armed to the teeth went into the mountains to suppress the bandits, and then they were stolen by someone to clean and slip, and 8,000 old men wore white flowers and underwear, and walked back to the camp of Hedong City on foot......

Wang Zhengling just pondered like this, and wanted to find a crack in the ground on the spot to get in......

"Uncle Guo...... Uncle Guo! You see, there is a man! ”

Wang Zhengling, who was covered in goosebumps, was still immersed in the illusion of embarrassment, and was suddenly patted on the shoulder by a brother next to him! He came back to his senses and followed the other party's finger to look, only to see a shirtless, skinny bald old man not far away, dragging an eight or nine-year-old boy with a basket on his back, hurriedly "running" in the opposite direction......

"Go, invite this old man back and ask, be polite!"

"Don't worry, Uncle Guo, this old man is poor and doesn't even have clothes, how can I be rude to him?"

Seeing his subordinates trotting, he dragged the old man back to him with a smile on his face. Wang Zhengling didn't speak in a hurry, but looked at the bald old man carefully. He wore a pair of straw sandals under his feet, and his trousers were also tied tightly with hemp rope, and he was obviously a man who had been walking in the mountains and forests for a long time; The scorching afternoon sun shone obliquely on his bronzed skin, reflecting a strange glow......

Wang Zhengling stretched out his hand and touched it, and found that the old man's skin was very sticky, and he couldn't figure out the reason, so he coughed lightly and said:

"Ahem...... Don't panic, old people, we are all officials and soldiers of the imperial court. You see, this is my general's waist card......"

Most of the people were cowardly, and this old man was no exception; As soon as he heard that the other party was an official soldier, he immediately pulled his little grandson to kneel on the dirt together, and pressed the child's little head hard, constantly kowtowing......

"Don't dare, don't dare, the little old man is illiterate, master, you better take it back......"

"Old man, please hurry up, we don't mean anything else, we just want to ask you something...... Ay? What's this slimy stuff on you? ”

"Back to the master, this is the juice of "shallots", which can be applied to the body to prevent the bite of poisonous insects in the mountains......"

The old man said, took out a piece of aloe vera from the back basket behind him, and timidly handed it to Wang Zhengling for examination. And Wang Zhengling broke it and sniffed it, nodded his head, and also confirmed the identity of the other party through this small habit that only people in the mountains have......

Presumably, this old and young, even if they really fall into the grass, it will be a burden!

"Old man, are we making trouble in Lishan? Just now I heard a passing aunt say that a few days ago, it seems that a batch of grain was robbed here, right? ”

"Bandits? Grain? No, no, sir, don't listen to people chewing their tongues......"

"Grandpa, are you confused? Brother Liang Zi a few days ago, they weren't ......"

Syllable!

Before the kid could finish speaking, the old man gritted his teeth and rounded his arm and slapped the kid in the face! This slap was very sudden, and the little doll, who was only eight or nine years old, fanned out a heel, and half of his face quickly swollen with a red slap print!

For a moment, the child even forgot to cry, just covered his face with his hands, and looked at the angry grandfather blankly......

Tong Yan Wuji, this matter is already very obvious. Although it is true that the batch of military rations was robbed, it is definitely not Zhang Dianchen who led people to do it.

Presumably, his cousin was passing by here transporting grain, and he was robbed of the grain by the mountain people of Lishan; And he was timid and poor in martial arts, and he didn't dare to fight with the mountain people, so he could only splash this basin of dirty water on the head of Zhang Dianchen, who was in the limelight.

Although they were the baggage battalions responsible for transporting grain and grass, they were also regular troops under the command of King Qin; The grain he escorted was robbed by a group of mountain people, or by Zhang Dianchen, a famous general of Northern Yan; When it comes to conviction in the future, there is a fundamental difference!

Lying about the military situation is also death, and stealing military rations is also death! Now it seems that although his cousin died in a mess, he is not wronged!
