Early the next morning, Zhou Nan and Gao Yuan, Yang Keshi, Li Shi and others parted in the city, Zhou Nan returned to Yanjing with 300 pro-troops and Zhou Fu, Li Shi sat in Zunhua City, Gao Yuan and Yang Keshi marched east with more than 10,000 cavalry to pursue Zhang Jun.

  Only Tao Gu and Shi Yue stayed in Zunhua City for two days, just to equip their infantry with armor and weapons. Now Zunhua City, the most important thing is war horses and armor. In front, there were 80,000 Xi soldiers' weapons, armor and war horses stored here, and later, after nearly 10,000 Pingzhou troops surrendered to Wansheng Army, those armors and war horses were also sent to Zunhua City. There are nearly 100,000 pairs of armor hidden in the arsenal, and Tao Gu and Shi Yue must of course carefully select good weapons and armor.

  There were originally more than 5,000 war horses in Zunhua City, and many were captured later. Nearly 10,000 war horses were kept in the horse prison, according to Zhou Nan's arrangement when he left, even if it was a cavalry army of nearly 30,000 people, it was 300 war horses for every 1,000 people, and such an infantry army could barely be regarded as a cavalry army in the Great Song Dynasty.

  Zhou Nan's idea is that even if it is an infantry army, it is only based on the infantry army, and it must be able to transform into a cavalry army at a critical time, defend and patrol the city on weekdays, and be able to ride a horse as a cavalry envoy in case of an enemy surprise attack. Even Zhou Nan thought of the training method of these infantry troops, and divided a thousand people into two teams, and practiced on weekdays, which team lost, it would be the infantry army, and which team would win, it would be the cavalry. With such an excitement, of course, everyone does not admit defeat and competes to win the opponent. In this way, it is much more interesting than the daily boring drills, and it also invisibly improves the physical fitness and fighting methods of these infantry soldiers.

  Gao Yuan and Yang Keshi led their respective men and horses to Dawangzhuang, where Zhang Jun slaughtered the cottage, Zuo Xiaosi also came with him, and at this moment he had already found the mark left by the Eagle Guards, and had already told Gao Yuan and Yang Keshi the direction of Zhang Jun's march.

  Gao Yuan said to Yang Keshi, "Brother Yang, this time, Da Lang asked the two of us to lead the army to defend Yuguan, get rid of Zhang Jun, and finally recover Pingzhou, you and I might as well go our separate ways, what do you think?" ”

  Yang Keshi asked with great interest, "I don't know how you want to part ways?" ”

  "All the way to Yuguan, taking advantage of its unpreparedness, to take Yuguan in one fell swoop, the outer imperial Jin army, so that it is not allowed to enter, and it has become the trend of closing the door and beating the dog as Dalang said. The other group of people first got rid of Zhang Jun, and then recovered the states and counties of Pingzhou Road. In this way, in less than half a month, the three things that Dalang said can be done. ”

  "Brother Gao, it seems that Zhang Jun is going east along the mountain road from here, in that case, wouldn't the people who captured Yuguan encounter Zhang Jun first, and then rush to capture Yuguan after getting rid of Zhang Jun? In this way, the Yuguan defenders will be on guard. Zuo Xiaosi reminded Gao Yuan and said.

  "It's easy to do. It is still divided into two roads, but this time the two roads have to go side by side, which way meets Zhang Jun first, they will besiege Zhang Jun first, and the other way will quickly whip up the horse and go straight to Yuguan. This time, the two roads take care of each other when they march, and secondly, no matter which way encounters Zhang Jun, the other road can also be lightning fast and capture Yuguan. However, we can only put the states and counties of Pingzhou Road first. Gao Yuan immediately changed his strategy and said.

  Yang Keshi immediately agreed, "Brother Gao, this idea is very good, we can't fight endlessly in front of these states and counties, only by controlling Yuguan can we settle down and clean up these stubborn Pingzhou prefectures and counties one by one." ”

  That's exactly what I meant! But, hehe," Gao Yuan held back for a long time, and finally asked with a wicked smile, "I don't know which way Brother Yang is going to choose?" ”

  Yang Keshi seems to be honest, but how many people who can mix up in the army are solid radish? With a roll of his eyes, Yang Keshi said, "Brother Gao, I know that you are looking forward to leading the army and fighting the enemy a few times - the fourth brother Zuo also said just now, if you go east along this mountain road, you will be able to catch up with Zhang Jun's men and horses, but do you want to choose this road?" ”

  Gao Yuan naturally wanted to catch up with Zhang Jun, command 7,000 cavalry, kill Zhang Jun's men and horses, and vent his evil anger for those mountain people who died unjustly. But after thinking about it, if he went to chase Zhang Jun first, then Yang Keshi could lead the army to Yuguan and take Yuguan, one of the four passes in Yanbei. Killing Zhang Jun and taking Yuguan seems to sound more majestic than Yuguan, Gao Yuan immediately said, "Brother Yang, I know that you are bent on getting rid of Zhang Jun, this time brother, I won't take Brother Yang's love, let Brother Yang chase Zhang Jun first!" ”

  Yang Keshi frowned when he heard this, and said, "How many soldiers and horses can there be in Yuguan?" It's just an old city wall by the sea. Where is it worthy of Zhang Jun, an old thief with 5,000 people? ”

  Gao Yuan was unmoved, and said with a smile: "The old city wall will be collected by my brother!" Now that Zhang Jun's old thief has run away, we might as well chase it earlier. ”

  Yang Keshi was also afraid that Gao Yuan would regret it, so he hurriedly said, "Then I'll chase Zhang Jun, brother, you lead the troops to respond, and when I catch up with the old thief, you will go straight to Yuguan." ”

  After the two discussed, Gao Yuan hurriedly led his army out of the valley, went south on the official road, and rushed east.

  As soon as Gao Yuan left, Yang Keshi laughed, and Di Zhuang asked puzzledly, "Why is the general laughing?" Yang Keshi said with a smile: "This time I took advantage." Let's catch up with Zhang Jun first, get rid of Zhang Jun's men, and General Gao will also capture Yuguan. After the general of the world and other high generals captured Yuguan, the Yuguan was far away in the northeast of Pingzhou Road, and Yuguan was terrainically important, so it was easy not to leave, and after getting rid of Zhang Jun, those states and counties on Pingzhou Road were not left to us to recover? Pingzhou, Yingzhou, Luanzhou, in addition to many counties, these states and counties, it is enjoyable to fight! ”

  "It's just that there are a few bombing arrows, and they are not enough." Since Li Pei tasted the taste of explosive arrows, he has loved and hated explosive arrows, and this time he can follow Yang Keshi and use explosive arrows to deal with others, so he is naturally happy in his heart. It's just that when they were about to set off, Yang Keshi and Gao Yuan divided the remaining two hundred and thirty explosive arrows equally.

  "Save on it! The lord of the village has long said that although this explosive arrow is fierce, it also has a time to run out, so if you want to use it, you must use it in key places to deter the enemy army, force it not to fight, and surrender. Yang Keshi said to Li Pei, Di Zhuang and other generals around him.

  A cavalry soldier in the distance rushed over, it was Zuo Xiaosi's subordinates, someone came to find Yang Keshi, and said, "General Yang, Fourth Brother Zuo is already waiting in front, saying that it is more than a hundred miles ahead, and he will be able to bite Zhang Jun's chaotic army." ”

  Yang Keshi immediately came to his senses and said loudly, "The whole army is on horseback, and immediately chase after the rebel army." Don't rest until you catch up! ”

  Li Pei, Di Zhuang and others immediately led their men and horses, and under the leadership of the messenger, they quickly chased forward. Like Song Chungui, please collect x Song Chungui.
