Under the careful organization of the management office, the battalions rushed to catch up with each other, presenting a hot scene.

Gu Haotian had been squatting in the training ground for several days in a row, and seeing that the training of the battalions was on the right track, he was ready to set off to do another thing.

In the nearly three years since the completion of Liangshan Manor, most of the Liangshan heroes in "Water Margin" have now gone to Liangshan Manor, and many outstanding people outside Liangshan have also come. Gu Haotian took advantage of his rare leisure in the past two days to look through the list of characters in the Water Margin that he had listed earlier, but found that there were a few characters he was more optimistic about, but they had not appeared, and these people were implicated in each other, so he had the idea of going to find out.

Among these few, the first one is Zhu Wu, the Divine Machine Military Master. This person is proficient in formations, has a wide range of strategies, attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and has always been a military advisor on Lu Junyi's side since he was recruited, and his identity is extremely important, and he has assisted Lu Junyi to break the enemy many times. When Jin Shengsian commented on his person, he said: His words make people cry, and he is really a miracle military teacher. In Gu Haotian's opinion, this person is in Liangshan, because he is not a descendant of Song Jiang, he is likely to be excluded by him, not to mention that Wu Yong was sitting in the position of Liangshan's military division at that time, and under that kind of system, of course, no one wants anyone to rob him of his scenery, so he is actually depressed on Liangshan and belongs to a character who is overkill.

The other two are a pair of masters and apprentices, Wang Jin and Shi Jin, Wang Jin, as the senior head of the Tokyo Forbidden Army, in a sense his skills are better than Lin Chong. Only from the fact that he spent a few months on Shi Jiazhuang to Shi Jindian, he trained him from an angry young man to a master of eighteen kinds of martial arts, which shows that his ability is not trivial. When Gu Haotian entered Beijing last year, he was listed as an important befriender, but unfortunately he had already left the capital. Shi Jin is Wang Jin's apprentice, and he is also a brave and loyal man.

Coincidentally, these three people may be in Shaanxi now, Zhu Wu and Shi Jin should be in Shaohua Mountain if there is no accident, but Gu Haotian wants to go through Shi Jin to see if he can find some clues about Wang Jin.

On this day, in the Zhonghua Hall, Gu Haotian revealed this meaning to Wen Huanzhang, he said that the officers and soldiers were defeated twice in a row, although the imperial court will not give up, but the next is the middle of summer, it is estimated that he will not be in a hurry to send troops, he wants to take the opportunity to go to Hedong and Guanzhong to take it away. One is to look at Natian Hu's current situation, and the other is to look for Wang Jin, Zhu Wu, Shi Jin and others.

Wen Huanzhang can't think about it, even if the imperial court marches again, his own people can deal with it, so he agrees. Before leaving, he specially explained two things to Wen Huanzhang and others, one time he asked Gongsun Sheng to send Yang Lin and Xue Yong to Liaodong and Goryeo to inquire about intelligence, and the other was to send Li Bao with the fifth battalion of sailors to the sea area between Dengzhou and Liaodong to find a suitable island as a base. In the second half of the year, when the time is ripe, he is ready to go to Liaodong or Goryeo to have a look.

On 20 May, Gu Haotian said goodbye to his parents and family, handed over all the affairs of the manor to Wen Huanzhang and others, and set off for the west, accompanied by Bian Xiang, Yang Zaixing, and 50 personal guards, as well as Shi Qian and Ma Ling. Lu Junyi had no specific affairs in the manor at the moment, Wen Huanzhang asked him to travel with him to protect Gu Haotian's safety, and he readily agreed.

At the Golden Beach Wharf, Gu Haotian said goodbye to the people who saw him off, and boarded Wang Dingliu's boat to go to Lijiadaokou.

After half a year of development, the Lijiadaokou market is now more and more prosperous, Gu Haotian and Yuan Lang, Zhang Shun, Han Jiangping, Pei Xuan, Liu Yuan, etc., after some explanations, did not stay, and set off to the north.

However, when the team was about to set off, Gu Haotian saw Bian Xiang glaring at him, and he didn't feel strange, what could Bian Xiang not say to him, but following his gaze, he saw that there was a handsome young man in the accompanying carriage at some point, and the guards on the side of the car did not dare to say much, and several people stood there with embarrassed eyes.

Isn't this Hu Sanniang? How she got here! Gu Haotian was stunned for a moment after seeing it clearly, and then he figured out that it must be this little girl who couldn't bear the loneliness and sneaked out to go with him. No wonder it was quiet last night, and Gu Haotian couldn't help but smile bitterly. It turned out that last night he felt that he had been out since the beginning of this year, and there were three confidantes, so he called some wine and food to get together with Master Li, Pan Jinlian, and Hu Sanniang in the small building.

Gu Haotian also knew Hu Sanniang's temperament, but now he couldn't ask her to go back, so he had to acquiesce. He had no choice but to call someone to the manor to report it to her family. Unexpectedly, she said that there was no need to bother the family to know, so she only raised the corners of her mouth high, and almost overflowed the smugness.

After a few days on the road, I don't think that the group has arrived at the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain, and then go forward is the Huguan Grand Canyon, a famous scenic spot in later generations, and after that canyon is Longde Mansion, which is now Tianhu's sphere of influence.

In the evening, the group lived in a small town outside the valley, Ma Ling and Shi Qian took people to investigate outside, and came back to report at dinner time that most of the Longde Mansion has now been occupied by Tian Hu's forces, and only the southwest area and Longde Mansion and Huguan are still in the hands of the government, but the situation is already precarious.

Early in the morning of the second day, Gu Haotian and others entered the trail in the canyon, but they saw the thick shade covering the sun, the green waves surging, the cliffs like cutting, and the waterfalls like practice. When did Hu Sanniang see such a beautiful scenery, she got off the carriage early, rode a horse and walked on her sweetheart's side, and she barked all the way.

In the midst of this beautiful scenery, everyone walked quickly for more than three hours, and gradually crossed the middle line of the canyon. But seeing that there were people in front of him in a panic, Ma Ling hurriedly dismounted and asked, but the Daotian tiger thieves were attacking Longde Mansion, and they were all people in the city who fled to Jingshi.

"Senior brother, if the Longde Mansion is lost, the pot pass will not be able to be guarded, we will go over as soon as possible, otherwise it will be troublesome." When Lu Junyi heard this, he said worriedly.

"What Senior Brother said is very true, we will have to enter the Huguan tonight."

Gu Haotian immediately ordered Ma Ling to lead people forward to explore the way, and the group sped up and rushed to Huguan.

In the evening of the same day, Gu Haotian and his entourage arrived outside Huguan City, only to see groups of people rushing out of the city gate, and their group of people who went against the grain was very abrupt. I finally squeezed into the city, but I saw that the city was in a panic, there was a busy flow of people everywhere, and the tavern inn was closed and there was nowhere to rest. When they were not knowing where to go, they saw Ma Ling coming to them. He entered the city one step ahead of everyone, and after seeing the chaos in the city, he thought that the people behind him had nowhere to stay, so that Sanqingguan in the west of the city could find a place to stay, and then hurriedly got up to respond.

Sanqingguan is a relatively large Taoist temple in Huguan City, Ma Ling made a courtyard with silver, and a group of more than 50 people just barely stayed. I bought some food and vegetables from the Taoist temple, and everyone cooked and cooked by themselves to fill their stomachs, and rested in the temple that night.

Early in the morning of the second day, Gu Haotian and others went out of Huguan and went west to Longde Mansion to prepare to find out what the thieves were, but they only traveled more than ten miles before they saw smoke and dust billowing in front of them and shouting and killing sounds. Immediately, Ma Ling, who was exploring the way in front, rushed over, and said hurriedly, there were more than 100 thieves fighting around a group of men.

When Gu Haotian heard that there were not many thieves, he did not hesitate to immediately lead everyone to hurry up. It didn't take long to see dozens of women and children running in front of the road in front of them, and more than a dozen young men holding various weapons in their hands were fighting and retreating behind them, only to see a man in his twenties, a spear stabbing east and west, and he was extremely brave, but after all, there were many thieves, and these people were difficult to resist even if their skills were strong.

"Evil thief, bullying women and children, shameless!"

Just when the group of people was in danger, they heard a sudden sound, and then saw a young man wielding a double knife to kill the thieves. This person is Hu Sanniang, she was born with a vicious and hateful character, so look at such a scene, and say that Gu Haotian and the others are by their side at all, so they naturally don't want to miss this opportunity, and they will kill it immediately.

And Hu Sanniang's shot was like a silent order, Bian Xiang, Yang Zaixing and others immediately led the guard battalion to kill it. Suddenly, these people were like tigers into the flock, and in a moment these thieves were killed and fled in all directions, but how did the two legs run over the four hooves, and before half a pillar of incense, more than 100 thieves were killed except for the more than 10 people who were captured.

Let's say that when the people were in despair, they suddenly saw that the thieves were cleaned up by a group of wolf-like cavalry in an instant, and they were stunned one by one.

After a while, the brave young man came to Gu Haotian and the others, saluted and said:

"In Xia, Wang Yandai, the villagers have thanked all the benefactors for saving their lives!"

"You're welcome, may I ask this Wang Zhuangshi, where did you come from, and what is the current situation there?"

"I waited for the party people, Tian Hu personally led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to besiege the city a few days ago, yesterday evening the city was broken, and several brothers lived in Wangzhuang outside the south of the city, when I heard the news, I protected several women and children to flee south, who knew that at dawn there was a bandit patrol, and it was hateful to chase and not let go, but also fortunately the benefactor shot, otherwise it would not be spared."

The thieves marched so fast! Gu Haotian couldn't help but hesitate a little, their large team of dozens of people was too eye-catching to go to Lund County like this. So after he discussed with Lu Junyi, he felt that Tian Hu's situation was roughly like this, and it was not wise to make another risk and enter the thief's nest, so he decided to turn around and go southwest to Guanzhong, so he asked Wang Yandao:

"This Wang Zhuangshi, where do you want to go?"

"I want to pass through the pot pass and go to Hebei for a while."

"That's just the right way together."

Wang Yan was naturally overjoyed to see this group of masters walking together, and then the two sides converged together and went to Huguan. Gu Haotian just took the opportunity to inquire about Tian Hu's situation with this Wang Yan all the way.

And between the two talking, Gu Haotian gradually reminded of a historical celebrity, that person is also called Wang Yan, is a famous anti-gold general in the Southern Song Dynasty, and happens to be a member of the party in Hedong. It was Yue Fei who was also his subordinate before, but later he was excluded by the main and faction of the central government and called him sick. When Gu Haotian arrived here, his heart was shocked, and he intended to talk to him about some complicated current affairs issues. Later, he deliberately proposed that if Jin Keliao was to invade Hebei and Hedong in the south, what would happen? Unexpectedly, he actually said that if the court did not resist, he would never be a slave of the country, and the worst would be to enter Taihang Mountain and become the king of the mountain.

At this point, Gu Haotian no longer had any doubts, so he had the idea of making friends, so he deliberately took out the situation of the Three Kingdoms to discuss with him, but Wang Yan admired the knowledge of this young man, and when he later learned that he was the author of the "Three Kingdoms" and "Man Jianghong", he only had to worship.

Talking all the way, I didn't realize that I arrived at the city of Huguan, but who knew that the officers and soldiers guarding the pass were worried that the thieves would steal the city and close the city gate and not let people in. Wang Yan pointed to the city and scolded, but to no avail. At this time, Gu Haotian said that they were about to go to Guanzhong, so it was better to go together. Wang Yan and the others had nowhere to go, so they responded.

So Gu Hao ordered a carriage for the women and children to sit on, and the group turned around and headed south, taking the road to Guanzhong.
