Xu Zhen led his troops to the ferry, the sheepskin rafts on the river were almost connected, the voices of the people were boiling, the voices of shouting people's names were endless, the chaos was unbearable, and the untidy county soldiers controlled the ferry and maintained order, but they still blocked the entire ferry!

Seeing that Xu Zhen's troops stopped, a large number of homeless people avoided one after another, and the sharp-eyed county soldiers had already trotted to report to their superiors, and a team came out of the homeless people in a short time.

The leader was in his early thirties, dressed in dirty leather armor, pressing the horizontal knife in his hand, and came quickly, Duan Zan crossed half of Xu Zhen's horse and asked first: "Who are you waiting for, why is the place so chaotic, blocking the sergeant's march to resist the capture, delaying the military plane!" ”

The man who looked like the leader had a bitter face, and arched his hand: "The little official is Zhang Zhao, the county lieutenant of Delete Dan, because Ganzhou was besieged, and the wild captives were in turmoil, so he had to escort the county people to move south..."

"What do you say! Ganzhou is besieged? Then don't you disperse the population quickly, cross the river and wait for me! Duan Zhan's face suddenly became angry, and he immediately shouted.

Zhang Zhao's face sank, but he secretly gritted his teeth, bowed his head and said in a trembling voice: "Generals, our county town has sunk, our homes have been destroyed in the war, and now thousands of people are not allowed to maintain rations, and there is no hope of livelihood after moving south, the county order and the county are loyal to defend the country, and now they are still defending the defense line. ”

Zhang Zhao's voice was loud, the county soldiers around him had red eyes, many of the displaced people still had to leave the sea of war suffering, at this time, seeing the county lieutenant taking the lead in begging for help, the village elders knelt down on the road, stopped in front of Xu Zhen's troops, howling and crying, many homeless people carried the old and small families, knelt down and pleaded, hundreds of people in the entire ferry cried in unison, the sorrow was shocking, even Gao He Shu couldn't bear it!

However, Duan Zan knew that the overall situation was important, the situation in Najedan County was unknown, and he did not know the strength of the enemy's army, and the military order was not allowed to make his own claims, so it was absolutely impossible to disobey the military order for the sake of this small county town!

"The military situation is as urgent as a heartburn, how can we obstruct it, why don't we clear the ferry quickly, let me wait for the army to cross the river!" Duan Zan had already participated in the analysis of the military situation, and he knew the stakes well, so how could he stay, but now he regretted that he had delayed Xu Zhen's march on the road.

Ganzhou, like Liangzhou, is the northwest gateway fortress, there is a Heihe guard in front, there is Ganjun Mountain in the back, there is a large salt pond in the north, there is a large amount of timber in the Snow Mountain can be used as arrow wood, after the Tuyuhun army enters Ganzhou, the materials can be quickly replenished, and it can also pass through Ganjun Mountain, take the mountain as a dangerous enemy, go north deep into the grassland of the north of Liangzhou, scatter in the grassland to avoid the Tang Dynasty, and then defeat Liangzhou from the rear!

Once the two continents of Ganliang are captured and uprooted, the door will be wide open, and the wild captives will be in chaos everywhere, not to mention the shock of the government and the opposition, and the people will also suffer from the scourge of fire, and it will be difficult to clear up and suppress it when the time comes!

But Zhang Zhao gritted his teeth, stood in front of Duan Zhan's horse's head, pulled out the horizontal knife at his waist, and offered it with both hands to show that he could ask for death, and suddenly knelt down, bowed his head and pleaded: "Please also ask the general to help!" ”

As soon as these words came out, this iron-blooded man was in tears, and his eyes were touching!

Many county soldiers have many injuries, and they are also wounded soldiers who have retired from the front line, and they want to dedicate their last strength to their hometown fathers and elders, seeing the county lieutenant kneeling for help, they have knelt on the ground, and everyone pleaded in unison, wrapped in the whirring cold river wind, blowing people's eyes astringent and sore.

Li Wushuang and Li Mingda are the hearts of their daughters, seeing that Duan Zan is so hard-hearted, they are resentful, and even Zhou Cang secretly scolded his mother.

The recruits have always been led by Duan Zhan, and Hou Poyu and Zhang Shenzhi have mediated and operated from the middle, and the army's desire is no longer Xu Zhen, the captain, but he has a grudge against Xu Zhenzhen, but he obeys Duan Zhan's words.

However, not long after they left their hometown to join the army, from these homeless people, they all saw the shadow of their hometown fathers and elders, and their hearts suddenly softened.

But they knew that Duan Zan was not a novice in the army, he had been a lieutenant for a long time, and he had also participated in several small-scale battles, so he would not be soft-hearted because of this, so those who hoped to stay and fight had their eyes on Xu Zhen!

Xu Zhen is not a soft-hearted person, he thinks he is not a big hero, how will it not fall on his head to save the people from fire and water, but he can't watch these homeless people starve to death and freeze to death, the people who stick to the hard fight in Jiedan County are the real heroes, and Xu Zhen must not watch them die!

He and Zhang Jiunian had analyzed the situation early on, and what Duan Zan could think of, Xu Zhen was naturally clear, but he knew better what was the point of rushing to Ganzhou at this time? Do you want to take these 800 recruits who have never been on the battlefield to attack the tens of thousands of troops in Tuyuhun?

Or did he grow wings, descend from the sky, and fly into the city of Ganzhou to assist Li Jing in defending the city?

It is impossible to achieve all these strategies, it is better to clean up the wild captives around Ganzhou, clear them out, remove all hidden dangers for Ganzhou, and save these ordinary people!

As for the military order, for a modern person like Xu Zhen, the rules are dead, people are alive, and the living can't be suffocated to death by urine.

In the midst of everyone's attention, Xu Zhen slowly dismounted, helped Zhang Zhao up, looked at him calmly, and asked, "Do you know the situation in Delete Dan County?" How many centaurs are there in the enemy army? What class? How many supplies and manpower are there in the county? ”

Zhang Zhao was slightly stunned, at the beginning Duan Zan came out to ask, he naturally had a preconceived idea, thinking that Duan Zan was the general of this army, Xu Zhen was too young, he didn't think about it, he didn't expect this handsome young man to be the one in charge!

He Zhang Zhao is not an ignorant person, he has been a county lieutenant for many years, he is skilled in bows and horses, he likes to study military books the most, and he knows that Xu Zhen asks key questions, so he hurriedly replied: "The young general has asked something, Zhang knows that he has nothing to say!" ”

Xu really wanted Zhang Jiunian to come forward to collect military information, but when he turned around, he saw Duan Zhan's face angry, and he looked directly at himself without giving in: "Xu Zhen, do you know what you are doing!" Disobedience is a capital offense! ”

Duan Zan held down the head of the knife, the threat was overflowing, but Xu Zhen sneered and sneered disapprehantly: "Duan Zan can't it be that you really want to fight with me?" Don't you ask the brothers behind you, are you willing to go to Ganzhou with you to die, or are you willing to follow me to Koudan to save people? ”

"You!"

Duan Zhan's face turned pale, but he was speechless, because he couldn't even convince himself!

Xu Zhen can be said to wake up the dreamer with a word, and the sergeants have woken up, after all, Delete Dan is only a county town, and now they are still struggling to defend it, which shows that the enemy's strength is not elite, and there are 1,000 people on their side, and the equipment is the first standard standard, although it is a recruit, but there are also Xu Zhen's 200 elite heads, as long as they play with momentum and follow the trend, can't the recruits also be able to fight a bloody road!

At such a point, Xu Zhenyi didn't stop doing anything, pulled out the long knife at his waist, and shouted to the team behind him: "Those who are willing to follow me to help Delete Dan stand up!" ”

More than 200 people from the headquarters led by Zhou Cang and Gao Heshu immediately separated from the ranks and stood on the left and right of Xu Zhen.

The eight hundred recruits wanted to follow out, but they had seen Xu Zhencheng deeply after all, and they were controlled by the low-level officers installed by Hou Poyu and Zhang Shenzhi, and the brigade commander and even the fire commander were the subordinates of the two, so these recruits naturally did not have the courage to follow Xu Zhen to violate military regulations.

Xu Zhen shook his head and sighed, he could only comfort himself in his heart, maybe it would be good without these recruits, at least he would not drag down his brothers in his headquarters.

Duan Zan didn't want to wait for a few of these recruits to come out and take the lead, so he immediately said to Xu Zhen: "That is the case, Captain Xu Zhen should do it himself, although you are also here to save people, it is an indisputable fact that you violated military regulations, and I will report it truthfully!" ”

Xu Zhen snorted coldly, noncommittal, his mind changed, but he said euphemistically: "You can take these people to Ganzhou, but the excess food and baggage should be left, if it drags down like this, it is still a question whether you can go to Ganzhou." ”

Duan Zan naturally knew the "extra food" in Xu Zhen's mouth, which he and Hou Poyu brought to Xu Zhencai to instigate the soldiers, judging the situation, they wanted to rush to Ganzhou, and they could only travel lightly.

Duan Zan didn't speak, but his gaze had already shown his posture, and Hou Poyu was also helpless, so he only ordered the recruits to keep all the excess food and baggage.

Xu Zhen summoned Zhang Jiunian and began to understand the specific situation of the county seat with Zhang Zhao, and handed over the military grain to the officials of Delete Dan and asked them to distribute it to the displaced people, while Duan Zan and Hou Poyu brought 800 new soldiers, dispersed the displaced people, and began to cross the river.

Although there are only about 200 people in Xu Zhen's headquarters, all of them are elite tigers and wolves, and they use military rations to relieve the displaced people.

In fact, Duan Zan also regretted it a little, because he also knew that when he arrived in Ganzhou, there was really not much he could do, and if he wanted to reach the rear of Ganzhou, he had to go through Zhangye, but the Deleted Dandu was about to be breached, and he didn't dare to say that Zhangye could stand it.

Once Zhangye is captured, Ganzhou will become a lonely city, and even if Duan Zhan's army bypasses the rear, it will not be able to enter Ganzhou City!

Thinking of this, Duan Zan ordered loudly: "Full speed ahead!" ”

He has been a lieutenant for a long time, and he once commanded five thousand elite cavalry, but he has outstanding military talent, if it weren't for the fact that the adults in the family have been immersed in it for a long time, he doesn't want to be attached to Hou Junji, the big war is imminent, and he has to play prestige with a kid like Xu Zhen, but the matter is too deeply involved, and he is already difficult to ride a tiger.

But he is a Tang man after all, infighting is one thing, fighting against foreign enemies is another, without Xu Zhen, he has no distractions, no need to consider all kinds of conspiracies and calculations, and leads eight hundred recruits along the Shandan River to march in the direction of Ganzhou!
