Li Hu read the book quietly, and a smile of excitement unconsciously appeared between the corners of his mouth.

It happened that a batch of donated materials was going to be transported to Chenzhou through Lingwu, so Li Hu took over the task of escorting, took a group, crossed the Wang River with some quasi-langs, and went to Chenzhou with Zuizi Camp.

The Zuizi camp was controlled by Hou Chen.

Although the tripartite agreement of the year reduced the privileges of the nobles of the Tuoba clan, there was no massacre, and some of the army of the Chen State was reorganized and preserved, if the wife was peaceful, no one thought of revolting and then rebelling against the court, but when he saw that there was chaos everywhere, he first got together out of self-preservation, and then his mind was active.

The so-called Hou Chen, in fact, many clansmen of the Tuoba clan supported Tuoba Xiaoxiao to no avail, so they had to support Almi, and let him marry the only daughter of King Lou Fan, and won the support of the former vassal of Chen State, Lou Fanguo.

It is said that Tuoba Jiuxing has been active among the clansmen, it is said that he is the strongest, and he should be recommended when he gets up, but he has a history of surrendering to Jingkang, and now it is Jingkang, so he can't get the support of most people, and I don't know who came forward to persuade him, he gladly took over an official position in Shangzhu State, and joined forces with Hou Chen, opening up the passage to the west.

To the west, there is also the strength preserved by the Tuoba clan.

When Chen Zhou was recovered, according to the conditions, the vassals of Chen became vassals of the imperial court, but the imperial court was not as close as the Tuoba clan, and there were many cavalry in their hands, and they were punished if they were punished, and their fear of the imperial court was much lower than that of the Tuoba clan.

Dong Wen sent troops, because Dongxia seemed to intend to capture Diaoyin and did not dare to use the central army, so he had to gather troops in Xilongcang Prefecture, because the number was not enough and some were recruited.

These soldiers are half a pound and eight taels from the Tuoba army that has just been restored.

Fortunately, Jingkang had a stronger control over the southern part of Chenzhou, so there was a small fight on the western front, and their main force opened a confrontation around Huining, waiting for a decisive battle.

At this moment, the Jingkang Imperial Court naturally felt that Dia Bird was biased, because the people of Chenzhou rebelled because of the fact that Party A Jingkang in the tripartite agreement fought the guarantor Dongxia, so Dongxia would only help the Tuoba clan, and the Tuoba clan also felt so, plus Tuoba Xiaoxiao and Hou Chen Tong had a message, and the Zuizi camp responded to the needs of the Dongxia people, not only gave them a smooth passage, but also sent a guide, so that they could go to Hou Chen's territory among the complex forces.

This is also their shrewdness, no matter how they rescue, aren't they saving their own people in their own territory? Didn't the supplies come in and their own people came in?

It was under the guidance of the guide that the group went straight to the western front in full swing.

Clear-eyed people know that the first attack on the western front is because the Tuoba clan wants to strengthen the connection with the vassals and the remaining clansmen in the west to enhance their strength, and the Jingkang court wants to cut off the connection between them before the decisive battle.

When Li Hu arrived here, he found that the war was not as fierce as they imagined, the pace was slow, and there were some independent hills, and there were not a few decent wars. He was stationed to protect the men of Dongxia and Jingkang who came to Chenzhou to rescue, and at the same time, he inquired about Yanyun's eighteen horsemen in the local area.

He was sure that with the second uncle's belligerent character, it was more likely that he would sneak here to find an opportunity, and perhaps, among the many mountains in the local area, one of them was seized by the second uncle.

It has been stationed for several days, but no one has heard of Yanyun's eighteen horsemen, and when asked about the new foreign forces, there are only two forces, one is called Lang Death Camp, and the other is called Thunder and Lightning. Listening to the name, he inquired about the leaders of both sides, the Lang Death Camp is composed of some fugitive soldiers and homeless people, and the thunder and lightning are nomadic people, the leader of the Lang Death Camp is a self-proclaimed Jiangnan down-and-out warrior, like the Southern Dynasty after the destruction of the Southern Dynasty, but the leader of the thunder and lightning is more mysterious, it is said that the body is huge, with two horns on the head, with a mask, like the god of death.

The Lang Death Camp took in everyone, but Thunderbolt didn't accept people much, asking for war horses, even if the nomads with war horses took refuge in them, they often became their periphery, and they didn't even see the leader.

They didn't plunder the locals much, though.

But the locals say they are a demon, called by the Sawitches of the North.

Li Hu targeted Thunderbolt.

The head of the ox may be false, but the horn decoration is a unique feature of the Gaoxian cavalry, even if the grassland tribe is decorated with horns, it is not as big as the horn shelf held up by the Gaoxian people.

If it is the second uncle, only the cavalry is collected, and it is decorated with a high ox helmet, everything is very reasonable.

He tried to send people to blend in, but failed several times, this thunder and lightning was chaotic on the outside, but the inner perimeter was extremely capable, never took the initiative to accept people's refuge and see, only when the two forces clashed, suddenly appeared, lightning generally crushed the hostile forces, and disappeared after killing the leader.

The more this is the case, the more certain Li Hu is.

All this could not have been done without a strict system of military organization.

After more than ten days, it was too much time to find someone.

He also went to Guangji Monastery from time to time to help, and when he heard that Seng Hui had appeared in this area, he planned to visit him in a few days. After all, Seng Hui is a familiar old friend in a foreign land, and the person who responds to him, Li Hu is full of good feelings for him, and unconsciously begins to want to get close, and even thinks that he can persuade him to return to the vulgar and become an official in Dongxia. On this day, he inquired for a long time in the town protected by thunder and lightning, and seeing that there was no result, he took Feng Bi, Wang Wei, and Xiong Zun to the south.

The town of Zhushan to the south was an area controlled by the Jingkang court, and it is said that Seng Hui was in that area.

Beyond this nomadic and dilapidated town is a semi-barren farmland, and in winter, it is mostly shriveled and snow-covered crops and weeds.

The men rode through as fast as they could, and came to a river covered with thin ice, and down the beach, there was a settlement of displaced people.

When they saw people, they asked for directions, so they went straight to this homeless camp.

Straw huts and patched tents were scattered in the camp, sparse and disorderly, with pieces of cloth and tattered clothes hanging on ropes between a few small trees, a few dirty children jumping up and down in a clearing, steaming from cooking on the edge of the tent, and an old lady leaning on the edge of the shed basking in the sun, her eyes squinted and her teeth sparse, as if she was still laughing. Wang Wei couldn't help but whisper to Xiong Zun: "That old lady can still laugh." ”

They went up to ask for directions, and the old lady answered them actively, but because of the dialect accent and the slurred words, they couldn't hear them clearly for a long time.

Li Hu searched for some dry food from Xiong Zun and gave it to him.

The old lady turned out a cake and smiled at the sun.

Xiong Zun couldn't help but say, "Why are you laughing again." ”

The old lady summoned the children who were playing, divided the cakes for the children, and distinguished them from Xiong Zun in their mouths, and several people couldn't understand them, but the children could understand.

A child told Xiong Zun: "Why didn't she laugh? ”

Seeing that the child could actually understand things, Wang Wei asked him, "What about the adults?" ”

The child said, "I'm looking for something to eat." Let's watch the house, don't take advantage of the absence of adults, there is a blind stream that can't be driven away. We have to tell him that this is the place where we are from Li Wan. ”

Li Hu asked him about the monk.

He also knew, and said, "I will come to send rice later, and two monks will come to send rice at noon." ”

The old lady also spoke eagerly, and the people could understand, and she said, "Buddha." The Buddha gave it to eat. Better than the emperor. ”

A few people were waiting here, waiting for the monk.

The old lady wanted to chat with someone very much, stared at Li Hu and said something, and the children next to her stopped playing, so she translated for them: "Mother-in-law said that you are a good person." She said, wait for the war to stop, let you go to Li Wan, we are all good people. Bowl by bowl for you under the fish. ”

The battle was actually not very strong.

Although there are forces everywhere and people everywhere, you have to have your own home and village, in fact, you don't have to come out.

Li Hu couldn't help but ask why they were here.

The old lady looked forward and said, "Catch it." The offspring, the catch, the food. Also killing. ”

Li Hu asked again: "Is it someone from the imperial court or a person from the Chen dynasty?" ”

A young man said: "I heard my father say, they all arrest people, they all kill people, the Chen Dynasty arrests people, the court also arrests people, and the bandits are also arrested, they fight, they also have to eat, they also build city walls, build camps...... If you don't arrest people, who will do the work for them? ”

As he was talking, a child who was looking into the distance shouted cheeringly, "Lord Monk is here." You see. The monk is here. ”

Feng Bi ran two steps to the side and told, "Master, there are two monks here." Walk. Let's ask. ”
