Zhao Yi is not a fool, he is sure of victory. The Montenegrin army has just emerged, and its foundation is not stable. If it weren't for the soldiers' lack of confidence in the Montenegrin army, the county town, which was guarded by less than 1,000 soldiers, would not have been captured three times.

If Zhu Jun is dragged by Beigong Boyu in the northwest for a few days, the plague lasts a little longer, and gives the Montenegrin army a little more time to develop, then the Montenegrin army will be full-fledged and its morale will have been condensed, and the Montenegrin army will rely on the terrain of Taihang Mountain and the soldiers will be single-minded, and if the imperial court wants to break through, it will not be able to do it overnight.

Zhao Yi wanted to take advantage of the unstable foothold of the Black Mountain Army to kill it.

"My lord, how can you have such confidence?" Wen Qin asked, in Wen Qin's opinion, the Montenegrin army occupied a powerful terrain, and if there was no strong plan, the blind attack would definitely cause heavy casualties.

"It is precisely because the Montenegrin army is divided into multiple units that we can break them individually." Zhao Yi's eyes flashed with a scorching light, the Black Mountain Army occupied the favorable terrain of Taihang Mountain, and this move was very smart. However, the Montenegrin army was weak at this time and could not capture the city, so it could only plunder the villages. Such an unpopular rebel army, the people will definitely not help, and they will lose their popularity. At that time, as long as Zhao Yi mobilizes superior soldiers to fight with the Montenegrin army, the Montenegrin army will definitely be defeated.

Although there are many Montenegrin troops, but they are divided into many units, although Zhao Yi has fewer officers and troops in his hands, but there are many more than the Montenegrin army that is divided into shares, Zhao Yi just used the superior soldiers in his hands to annihilate these scattered Montenegrin troops one by one, Lingqiu and Guangchang Montenegrin Army is the first.

Everyone nodded when they heard Zhao Yi's words, Taihang Mountain stretches for thousands of miles, if you divide several troops to fight with the Black Mountain Army, if one side has a bad pool, the other parties will not have time to rescue, and encroachment step by step is the way to win.

Zhao Yi ordered his soldiers to rest as soon as possible and go to Guangchang tomorrow.

In the early morning of the second day, as soon as the sky was bright, Zhao Yi ordered Puyin County to send people to Jizhou to transfer all the troops of the state capital to Changshan County.

Zhao Yi's tens of thousands of elite horsemen galloped arrogantly in the land of Jizhou, startling the counties and towns along the way. As far as they knew, there were no such elite cavalry in Bingzhou, Jizhou and Youzhou, and they thought it was the Yi people crossing the border, but when they saw the official armor worn by these cavalrymen, these people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The closer they got to Guangchang and Lingqiu, the more homeless people on the official road, talking about the Montenegrin Army, the faces of the people showed bitter hatred, the plague that swept through the four states did not kill these people, but the Montenegrin Army almost took the lives of these people. In the eyes of the people, where the Montenegrin Army is an insurrectionary army, it is simply a bandit.

When he heard the news, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Yi's mouth, and even Wen Qin, Tai Shici and others had joy on their faces. In Zhao Yi's view, the country is inseparable from two things, a strong army and a benevolent government that can make the people live and work in peace and contentment, as the so-called military and civilian fish and water conditions, the water leaves the fish, but once the fish leaves the water, then it will definitely die.

Although there was no war with the Guangchang Black Mountain Army, the outcome was decided. Zhao Yi led his troops to run wildly for a day, and knocked on the gate of Guangchang County in the middle of the night. The county commander hurriedly ran out to welcome, and Zhao Yi's army arrived, making the Guangchang county commander full of joy.

In the past few days, the county order has even dreamed of spending time in panic, for fear that the Montenegrin army has already attacked the city with an open eye, and more than a dozen villages around Guangchang County have been sacked by the Montenegrin army, and in the face of tens of thousands of Montenegrin military and county orders, they dare not open the city to meet the enemy, and the only thing they can do is to open the city gate and let the people enter the city.

"The loss of Guangchang County is still small, and there is almost only a lonely city left in Lingqiu County, and now that the general has arrived, the people of my two counties are finally saved." The county commander's face was full of excitement, and his eyes were burning at Zhao Yi.

Because of its proximity to the Taihang Mountains, when the Yellow Turban Uprising broke out in the state, the Yellow Turban Army did not look at the barren county town close to the Taihang Mountains, so they were spared, so when they recruited troops to defend themselves, the two counties did not recruit many soldiers, and there were less than 1,000 guards in each county, and it was not easy to do this.

Zhao Yi did not blame the county order, and asked about the specific situation of the Black Mountain Army, where the camp was. The county commander replied, "The camp of the Black Mountain Army is in this mountainous area within a radius of more than ten miles, and the leader's name is Bai Rao. ”

A radius of more than ten miles? Zhao Yi frowned, this range is not small, it is useless to throw his ten thousand elite horses into the mountains and forests, Zhao Yi has a big advantage at this time, that is, the Black Mountain Army does not know that he has arrived in Guangchang. Therefore, he can secretly plot and lure those Montenegrin troops out.

The Black Mountain Army plundered the villages just to survive, and knowing what the Black Mountain Army cared about, Zhao Yi was able to make plans based on their weaknesses. As long as there is a need, Zhao Yi is afraid of the kind of person who has no desire and is strong, and the least helpless person is also that kind of person.

Seeing Zhao Yi's spirits, Wen Qin and the others must have had an idea in their hearts, Tai Shici and Dian Wei and others have known Zhao Yi for many days, so they naturally understand Zhao Yi's ability, Wen Qin and Murong Fu and Zhao Yi have known each other for a short time, even though they know that Zhao Yi already has ideas in their hearts, they are still very curious in their hearts, "What clever plan did the general think of?" ”

Zhao Yi blinked his eyes, and did not answer directly, but asked everyone instead, "What do you guess the Montenegrin Army wants most?" Zhao Yi's move is quite a bit of a betrayal.

Let Wen Qin roll his eyes, and secretly said Who can keep up with your imaginative thoughts, but Murong Fu vaguely guessed Zhao Yi's plan, "My lord, do you want to do something with your property?" ”

Murong Fu's guess was still reliable, and he approached Zhao Yi's answer, "If they get the property, they will also exchange it for grain, and if we transport tens of thousands of stones of grain, we will guarantee that the Montenegrin army will be deceived." "Tens of thousands of stone grain is a huge temptation, and the Montenegrin army will definitely be fooled.

The solution is a good way, but there is another problem, "Now that there are many people in the city, food is in short supply, how can we lure the Montenegrin army." The county order said, although Zhao Yi is full of confidence, but if it fails, 10,000 stone of grain falls into the hands of the Black Mountain Army, how should the people in the city live.

Dian Wei glanced at Zhao Yi and said angrily, "We can fill the sack with soil and escort it as grain and grass." ”

Wen Qin and Murong Fu looked at Dian Wei in surprise, this man who was like an iron tower had no chance with the resourceful type in Wen Qin's eyes, he didn't expect him to react so quickly, it seemed that he had underestimated him, and the generals around Zhao Yi really couldn't be underestimated. But Wen Qin didn't know that Zhao Yi captured Dian Wei at the beginning, and Dian Wei was naturally impressed, and now when he saw that Zhao Yi was going to repeat his old tricks, he was very sympathetic to those Montenegrin troops.

The county order's eyes lit up, "It's really a good plan!" Seeing that the Black Mountain Army was expected to be wiped out, the county commander's face that was worried about the country and the people just now suddenly changed, "Is there anything the general needs me to do?" ”

Zhao Yi's eyes turned, and instead of letting the county order help Zhao Yi spread the news, he asked the county order to block the news.

The county commander was stunned, "If you don't spread the news, how can you let the Montenegrin army loot?" ”

"The imperial court clearly knows that the Yellow Turban Army is rampant here, will it still transport grain with great fanfare? Anyone with a little bit of brains will know that this is a trap. "Seeing is believing, hearing is false. Zhao Yi has never underestimated his opponents.

10,000 stone of grain was transported from Guangchang to Lingqiu, it took a day, Zhao Yi didn't believe that he would not encounter the sentry of the Montenegrin army, if he didn't encounter it, Zhao Yi could only sneak into the mountains and forests and slowly look for the traces of the Montenegrin army.

Everyone did not have the slightest objection to Zhao Yi's strategy, and prepared separately according to Zhao Yi's order.

In the early morning of the next day, the carriages walked out of the gate of Guangchang County under the escort of thousands of elite officers and soldiers, the cars were full of sacks, and the wheels left two deep marks on the road.

Wen Qin and Tai Shi Ci stared cautiously at the surroundings, urging the soldiers behind them to move quickly, but how could the carriage that pulled so many things go fast, and it took less than ten miles in an hour.

Along the way, the displaced people stared at the sacks on the cart, and they all guessed the grain on the cart when they saw the heavily guarded appearance of these soldiers, and the depth of the imprint of the wheel. Stretching out his withered arm, he took two steps forward, saw the cold spear in the soldier's hand, swallowed his saliva and stopped, and watched the troop of grain trucks drift away, and sighed unwillingly.

At this time, in the mountain forest at the northern end of the Taihang Mountains, the chirping of birds mixed with some noisy noises came, and a simple cottage built of trees loomed in the shadows of the trees.

The figure in the cottage is shaking, the soldiers are lazily basking in the sun with their spears, Bai Rao kneels on a tiger skin in the simple hall, and discusses things with several leaders around him, Bai Rao intends to hold high the banner of righteousness during the Yellow Turban Uprising, in response to the Yellow Turban Army, he used the reputation of the Yellow Turban Army, just gathered five hundred soldiers, just wanted to raise his arms and shout, at this time came the news of the defeat of the Yellow Turban Army, his high fighting spirit, was suddenly extinguished by this basin of cold water.

The soldiers of the court were so brave, how could the five hundred soldiers in his hands resist, thinking of this, he dismissed the soldiers. But he didn't expect that after half a year, Zhang Niujiao rebelled with the help of the plague, and Bai Rao also took advantage of the situation and recruited tens of thousands of soldiers in a short time. Although more than a dozen Montenegrin troops elected Zhang Niujiao as their leader, Zhang Niujiao did not intervene in the affairs of their various departments, and the purpose of the alliance was not to determine the command, but to share the same hatred of the enemy.

Some time before the uprising, Bai Rao's subordinates lived a rich life, guarding the Taihang Mountains and looting the surrounding villages, eating, drinking, and playing. But after a long time, the disadvantages appeared, and the surrounding people were harassed and frightened by Bai Rao's department, and fled inland. The Taihang Mountains are thirty miles in radius, and all the villages are empty.

Bai Rao is still a little self-aware, did not dare to use the rabble in his hands to invade the inland, afraid that there is no return, and did not dare to occupy the county seat, the Zhang Jiao brothers suffered the loss of occupying the county seat, although the county town has solid fortifications, can resist the attack of the official army, but also greatly limited the flexibility of the army.

Bai Rao was discussing the location of the next raid with the leader of his subordinates, and at this time, the tanma scattered under the mountain ran in with a happy face, "Lord, the villain has discovered a great good thing!" ”
