The content of the text is Apocalypse 340, and the text 340 The Fire Slaughter City (above) beginsβββ
Shi Quan's words can be regarded as a solution to the siege, Zhang Liang suffered from not understanding the situation with Liu Xingzhi, and at the same time, he had not discussed how to coordinate his actions next, and he left suddenly for fear that Liu Xingzhi and they would be anxious about the apocalypse. In fact, it doesn't matter if you leave without meeting now, as long as you bring someone to surround Zixiaoguan and let the three of them meet, it's no problem, mainly because I'm afraid that as soon as I leave Liu Xingzhi, the two of them will talk nonsense, and when I come back, I will be in trouble if I can't see anyone.
When the old Taoist priest heard that this was the case, and heard Shi Quan praise the wine in his view as a rare treasure in the world, he couldn't help but feel a little happy β in his heart, what specialties people always like to show off in front of others, if someone just praised two sentences, it was like his back itching, someone gently scratched it to stop the itch. The old Taoist priest said with a smile: "I see, the fruit wine of Contempt does have a good reputation, and the three of them will not be happy to come to Contempt and not give you a taste, so let them send some over for the three of them to taste." β
Hearing the master's order, someone immediately went to ask Liu Xingzhi to send wine, Liu Xingzhi just wanted to find an opportunity to say a few words to Zhang Liang and them, and now when he saw someone coming to call, he immediately took a small jar of wine to Zhang Liang's place where they lived. Now there is a bit of a mundane matter to deal with, and after we have dealt with it, we will definitely come again to thank the Lord and Taoist friends, Taoist friends, don't wander around, don't be there when we come again. β
Liu Xingzhi said with a smile: "We don't know each other, I will wait for you at any time if you want to come, but I don't know when you will come again?" After speaking, he looked straight at Zhang Liang.
The tall and thin Taoist priest originally wanted to take Zhang Liang away, and he didn't want them to come again, but when he saw Liu Xingzhi asking Zhang Liang how long they would come again, he didn't like it and said softly: "The monks who travel all over the world are Chen, and they will naturally see each other again if they are fated, where can they set a date?" It was better to pour wine for the three of them first, and they would have to travel far after drinking. β
Zhang nodded and said: "The Taoist chief is right, fate will naturally see you again, but you don't need to pour three bowls, this brother will drive a carriage for a while, he will get drunk as soon as he drinks, and then don't drive the carriage down the mountain, the apocalypse Fengyun and Taoist friends only need to pour two bowls, remember that only two bowls." As he said this, he stretched out his hand and gestured two fingers.
Liu Xingzhi saw that Zhang Liang first told him not to go around, he would come, and now he poured two bowls of wine to indicate that he would come in two nights, and nodded to show that he understood. He poured his wine and said, "Originally, I wanted to ask Senior Brother to come and meet with you, but he had a bad temper and the Lord was punishing him to meditate behind closed doors, so I had to apologize to the three of them on his behalf. β
Zhang Liang and Shi Quan each drank a bowl of wine and said a word of thanks before leaving, and after the carriage traveled for a while, Zhang San said to Zhang Liang: "I know you want to tell him that we will arrive tomorrow night, but it doesn't matter if you say three bowls, as long as you make a two-to-two gesture on your hand." I suddenly remembered that someone said that the wine of this Taoist temple is very delicious, and I didn't drink it all the way to feel awkward, do you drink anything special? β
Zhang Liang shook his head and said: "It's better to burn the knife hard, it's sweet like the wine that the girls drink, your five big and three rough ones are not suitable for drinking this thing, we will go to your house to drink after the war, and we will drink enough when the time comes." β
Zhang San said: "Anyway, it's still early, if you want to drink, find a place to drink now, I feel uncomfortable when I think of the two of you who drank the wine." β
Shi Quan said at this time: "Two big brothers, we haven't found out the specific situation of Salhu yet, I only heard Liu Xingzhi say a few words, I always feel unreliable, or we will go to investigate now, and General Liu will have an explanation when he asks." β
Zhang Liang said: "Brother Shi is right, it's not too late to take a look and go back." β
Zhang San said: "It's okay, anyway, General Liu will attack Fushun Pass tonight, and we will go back to my house today to drink enough if we understand it." β
The three of them turned around the carriage and turned around Zixiao to the edge of Salhu City, only to see that the city of Salhu City was not big and was located by a river, with hillsides rising on the south and north sides, and the slopes on both sides were about five or six miles away from the city. Because they were afraid of being discovered by the defenders of the city, the three of them got out of the carriage and hid in the woods to watch, Zhang Liang looked at it for a while and said: "You see nothing, I always feel that something is wrong." β
Zhang San also said: "I also feel that something is wrong, but I can't say the apocalypse for a while." β
Shi Quan said: "Fushun Pass can not be said to be Xiongguan, because it is far from the mountain is not dangerous enough, this Salhu is said to be a city but it seems too narrow, and the side walls on both sides are a bit of a husband and a pass, I think Fushun should be called to live in the city and Salhu is called to live in the pass." β
Zhang Liang clapped his hands and said: "Brother Shi Quan is too right, this Salhu gives people the feeling that something is wrong is that it is too smallβ‘ Xingzhi said that this is the Jurchens' grain and grass transit place, you see that this city is so small, even if it is piled with all the grain and forage, how much can be piled up?" And he also said that there were originally 5,000 soldiers and horses here, even if there were few troops in the city, 5,000 people would not be able to fit anything in it, where would the grain and forage be piled up? β
Zhang San also nodded and said: "Yes, it is so cold here in winter, absolutely no one dares to live outside the city, and if it is really like that, all the soldiers will die of cold in one night." That is to say, there will be no people living in this city who can pile up grain and forage, and there must be another place to store grain or garrison soldiers. β
The more the three of them thought about it, the more they felt famous, so they walked around the city along the side of the mountain, and it took about half a day to find out that this Salhu City was not a dead place. In addition to the road to the west, there is a road to the northeast and a road to the southeast, which is a natural road along the river formed by the fork of the river. However, Zhang San was right at the beginning, this place is very cold in winter, and the wind blowing along the river between the two mountains can blow people into popsicles, and it is not very likely that they will camp by the river. The three of them continued to investigate, and finally found a mountain pass two or three miles wide in the south of Salhu City, and saw soldiers riding horses out of it to patrol, and it was estimated that there was something wrong here.
After the three of them went back, it was already dark again, so they hid in a remote place and ate some dry food, and the three of them rushed to Zhang San's house overnight. After resting at Zhang San's house for a night, Zhang Liang and Shi Quan said goodbye to Zhang San the next day, and Zhang Liang said to Zhang San: "Brother, before we call and completely stand still, we still have to wronged you to continue to stay here." β
Zhang Sanwu pretended to be so-called and said: "It's okay, anyway, I'm used to it, it's better than being chased and killed." But let's say it first, if one day we can chase the Jurchens and kill, you must say good things for me and transfer me back, and then I will make more contributions, not as good as Ma Shilong, who will always be similar to Brother Shi, otherwise there will be no face. β
Shi Quan said: "Brother Zhang's words are serious, without people like you, the Ming Army is a deaf and blind man with closed news, if I still have the opportunity to meet the emperor, I must talk to the emperor about people like you, and when the time comes, the emperor will be happy to give Brother Zhang a commander to make it a possible apocalypse." β
After saying goodbye to Zhang San, the two rode towards Fushun, and just walked not far from Fushun Pass when they met the Ming army team, and the leader shouted when he saw Zhang Liang and Shi Quan: "Is it Zhang Qianhu and Shi Baihu?" β
Zhang Liang said: "How do you know it's us? β
The leader said: "General Liu has instructed the Taoist priests not to do anything, especially the two Taoist priests to protect them well, saying that it is very likely that they will meet you at this time." β
Zhang Liang asked, "Then what are you doing here?" β
The leader said: "Last night, we took Fushun Pass overnight in the north and south, and General Liu sent several teams to hunt and kill Jurchen spies everywhere. I asked the two to take the two to see General Liu, and in addition to General Liu, General Geng Zhongming and Geng led the team in this operation, and they were waiting for the two of them to go to Fushun Pass. β
After Zhang Liang and Shi Quan came to Fushun Pass, they immediately told Liu Xingzuo and Geng Zhongming about the situation in Sarhu City, and when they heard that they had found their two brothers, Liu Xingzuo was very happy, and he asked: "Did Xingxian and Xingzhi say how to take us into the city?" β
Zhang Liang said: "Because of the special situation, we can't talk about it in detail, we agreed to meet tonight at Zixiaoguan outside Salhu City, and the general can talk to them in detail at that time." I mean they can trick them into opening the city gates under the pretext of delivering wine in advance, and then we can rush in. After speaking, he took a piece of paper and drew a rough figure on it with a pen.
Geng Zhongming looked at the map and said, "The closest ambush to the city gate is this grove, how far is it?" β
Zhang Liang thought for a while and said, "It's about half a mile." β
Geng Zhongming said: "There are too many people to go, the enemy will be suspicious, and the city gate will not be able to open the city gate if one person goes, even if the city gate is opened, it will not stop the enemy from closing the gate again. β
Liu Xingzuo didn't want to sacrifice his brother's life fearlessly, he asked, "What is General Geng's opinion?" β
Geng Zhongming said: "Didn't you say that there is a mountain loop in the south? Let's first ambush a group of men and horses in the woods, not too many people, as long as a few hundred people are enough, let them put on the clothes of the Jurchens and wait for the time, as soon as they kill them, as long as the large army behind the city gate can drive straight in. In order to let the Jurchens open the city gate by themselves, we first occupied the mountain in the south of the city, no matter what was inside, put a fire first, and the Jurchens thought that the fire would definitely send someone to check. As long as he opens the door and leaves us, it can be said that the people from Fushun Pass come to help, and there is a military intelligence report, and the enemy in the city will open the door if he sees not many people. β
Liu Xingzuo frowned and asked, "What if they don't open the door and ask for a password or something?" β
Geng Zhongming said: "Didn't a group of enemies go out of the city to investigate the cause of the fire? Don't you know everything by catching these people? You can also let them lead the way in front, and those who don't listen to the greeting will cut off their tongues and tie them to their horses, and they can't be seen from the clothes on their bodies for the past two days. β
The two discussed and immediately ordered the soldiers to act, and they arrived in half a day after dozens of miles, Liu Xingzuo and they first sent 3,000 people to sneak near the mountain loop, and then sent half of them to quietly climb the slopes on both sides of the mountain to stand by, and the other half waited for the rabbit at the mouth of the mountain loop. After everyone was in place, Liu Xingzuo gave an order, and the people who were ambushed on the hillside immediately rushed down like tigers descending the mountain.
It is also in line with the Jurchen's bad luck, this mountain set is indeed a place for the Jurchens to store forage, and the grain can be said to be placed in the city without occupying an area, plus two thousand people have been transferred away to have empty barracks to hoard food, this forage must find a wide place to fit down β the mountain set two or three miles wide and more than ten miles long, and there is only one exit is a dead place, because the place is cold and I think that no one will come to destroy, so there are only about a hundred people guarding inside, and a thousand people killing it is equivalent to a tiger entering the sheepfold, A few of those who managed to escape were caught by the people waiting outside.
When it was almost dark, the battle in the mountain loop was over, and the results of interrogating the prisoners were even more reassuring, it turned out that the Jurchens thought that this was the hinterland and were very relieved, and they didn't even have a password to enter and leave the city, as long as they saw that it was their own people, they would generally let them open the door, and after knowing these circumstances, Liu Xingzuo and Geng Zhongming decided to change their strategy and give it a try.
