Sending troops to fight is not a trip, the preparation requirements are very good, there is a waterway from Yuncheng to Qingzhou, although Qingzhou is convenient to say that the grain and grass are paid by them, but Chao Gai does not believe it at all, and still prepares grain and grass.

The weather was already cold, and the soldiers were wearing a thin layer of cotton clothing, which was made of cotton from this year's harvest, and the outside was iron armor wrapped in cowhide, and on the outside was linen clothes lined with sheepskin. Everyone wears gloves, cotton boots, and the weapons are well maintained, as for the war horses, they are all Mongolian horses, and there is no need to do any extra measures to keep warm, just add more concentrate.

Along the way, the team did not commit any crimes, and walked for a day into Yanggu County, which was in the territory of Dongping Prefecture, and walked forward in front of a huge hill, and the forward Hua Lei arrived at the bottom of the hill with a hundred infantry, and looked at this hill with a straight brow. The trees on the hill are too dense, the ancient timber wolf forest, there is only one path up the mountain, and the horses and pedestrians are fine, but I am afraid that the heavy carriage will not be easy to pass.

"Go up the hill." Hua Lei commanded with a wave of his hand.

At this time, a squad leader who was familiar with this place said: "It is rumored that there are tigers on this hill, let's be careful." ”

Hua Lei smiled: "It's okay, the tigers are all acting alone, our team of hundreds of tigers have avoided it when they saw it, don't forget that we are the vanguard army, go up the hill." ”

The team was well organized, and after going up the hill, they searched carefully along the path, there were many wild beasts, but because it was daytime, there were no fierce beasts. Soon the team began to cut down trees that were in the way, paved the uneven roads with pickaxes, and worked until the sun was in the west, and then they ushered in a large team led by Chao Gai, which was said to be a large group of 300 people. A large amount of baggage was carried by naval ships, and here it was the baggage of ten or two wagons and fifty mules.

Liu Tang led a hundred lancers in front, Cui Ye and Wen Zhongrong gave Liu Tang as deputies, these two people's training time is too short, come out to see and understand, these two people still can't really fight, you must know that horse war is not such a simple thing.

In the middle is Chao Gai Wu Yongjiao Ting, and behind is 200 infantry led by Li Kui.

When they arrived in front of the hill, Hua Lei's vanguard sent a squad leader to report that the mountain road had been simply repaired and was passable.

Chao Gai looked at the majestic Jingyanggang, and the mountains were full of big trees hugging each other, and he couldn't help but sigh: "What a dense forest." ”

Wu shook it lightly with a feather fan and said with a smile: "Although Jingyanggang is an ancient wood wolf forest and there are many wild beasts, it is not a dangerous mountain, not to mention that there will be no danger even if it is at night now, and no matter how fat the tiger is, it will not come out to attack the army." ”

Chao Gai smiled: "I'm not worried about the tiger, haven't you noticed that there are a lot of big trees on this mountain?" ”

"This, my brother wouldn't want to cut down the big tree on this Jingyang Gang to build a ship." Wu Yong asked.

"With this intention, time will not wait for me, the Yuncheng regiment has trained thousands of infantry, and the naval army has 600 people, there is almost no possibility of expanding the army, and if you want to develop, you must go to sea." Chao Gai said.

Wu Yong said: "This is not easy, the trees on this mountain belong to Yanggu County, and without the approval of the county, we have no way to cut down the trees." ”

"I'll figure it out when I get back." Chao Gai said.

The team went up the mountain in a mighty way, and the order had already been handed down, and the soldiers each held swords, guns, bows and arrows, and they would attack at the slightest disturbance, but unfortunately there was no shadow of a tiger after a hill of more than ten miles was gone.

After Jingyanggang, there is an open place, full of farmland that has harvested crops, and there is a tavern called Sanwan Bugang. It's a pity that no one dares to drink, even Li Kui, who has always been a good wine, doesn't dare to go over to taste it.

The Hualei forward army is ten miles ahead of the rear team. Chao Gai and other 300 people crossed the hill and set up camp not far from the hotel, buried antlers to resist horses, and laid down secret whistles and bright whistles.

Nothing happened one night, and the next day continued on his journey. Since the team was mainly infantry, the speed of the march was not fast, a day was a speed of eighty miles, and it would take at least six days to reach Qingzhou. Let's say that the three states here jointly encircle and suppress Qingfeng Mountain, as an old bandit who has accumulated years, the intelligence of the bandits in Qingfeng Mountain is still very well-informed, the spies have already obtained the news, and the Juyi Hall is still drinking and boxing, Yan Shun laughed loudly: "Ah, haha, that Huarong is simply a false name, set up a Qingfeng Village to guard against our Qingfeng Mountain, what is the result, we are not still going down the mountain to rob, yesterday's vote did a good job, the caravan saw us in the desert and fled, and threw us 20,000 catties of grain." Coupled with the previous inventory, it is enough for our brothers on the mountain to spend a winter. ”

Bantam Tiger Wang Ying, sitting there like a child who has not grown up, just a pair of thief eyes, and his two beards look very obscene. Wang Ying said: "Brother, didn't the spies say it just now, Yuan County ordered activities in all directions, and actually said that the joint forces of Qingzhou Mansion, Dongping Mansion, and Jeju Mansion were mobilized to encircle and suppress our Qingfeng Mountain. ”

Zheng Tianshou took a sip of wine slowly, gently put down the wine glass, and said, "The two brothers don't need to worry, the three people are just local chickens and dogs." ”

Wang Ying's mouth skimmed to the sky, and he sneered: "Huang Xin, Dong Ping, Chao Gai, which is a character to be messed with, how can you become a local chicken and a dog." ”

"Hehe, brother, please think about it, Qingzhou is an important military town, and there are no less than 5,000 elite soldiers. There is also the first fierce general in Qingzhou, Thunderbolt Fire Qin Ming, this person is the most brave, fighting hard, and has the courage of ten thousand people. If the Morong Prefect really wants to exterminate us, will we need to unite Dongpyeong and Jeju Mansions? Zheng Tianshou asked.

Yan Shun said with a smile: "The third brother is right, as the saying goes, many good people don't work, and many chickens don't lay eggs, which is exactly the truth." The three-way people seem to be quite scary, but in fact, they are just scaring people, and it is not clear who is the main attacker and who is the assister. When the time comes, they don't belong to each other, their faces and hearts don't match, and they don't need us to fight if they are secretly intrigued, and they will be in chaos themselves. ”

Wang Ying also laughed: "Haha, the third brother is a cultural person, and he is farther than me." If you have wine today, drink it today, and think about it tomorrow when you don't have it. ”

Six days later, Chao Gai led 400 soldiers and horses to finally arrive at the foot of Qingfeng Mountain, and 1,000 men and horses led by Huang Xin of Qingzhou Mansion and 500 men and horses led by Dong Ping of Dongping Mansion had already set up camp.

According to the rules, Chao Gai's military position is the smallest, and it belongs to the regimental training level. Huang Xin and Dong Ping are both at the level of capital supervisors.

Huang Xin and Hua Rong were okay, the two came over to greet Chao Gai and the others, Huang Xin said: "I heard that Chao Tuan can practice power to Tota, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation." ”

"Huang Dujian is polite, it is all spread by people in the mountains and wilderness, and Chao Gai is also a farmer with the strength of a hand." Chao Gai said modestly.

At this time, Dong Ping next to him said very discordantly: "If you don't come again, the cucumber dishes will be cold, and we have been here for three days." ”

Chao Gai, you see that it is none other than Dong Ping from Dongping Mansion, this person is still dressed like that, with a gun in his left hand and a gun in his right hand.

Chao Gai explained: "You are close, we are far, and there has been no delay along the way. ”

A member of the Fu General behind Dong Ping sneered: "It's a cold day, if it weren't for the fact that you militia groups had to wait, Qingfeng Mountain would have been defeated a long time ago." ”

This deputy general is not an outsider, it is the deputy general who met Dong Ping last time, called Zhao Xie.

Wu Yong said: "We are also acting on orders and marching at a normal pace. Now that you're here, I think it's better to discuss how to attack Qingfeng Mountain. ”

Zhao Xie said again: "Our regular army, how to discuss with your militia group, when you fight, you only need to carry out the order, and you don't need to participate in the rest." ”

Li Kui next to him couldn't bear Zhao Xie's powerlessness for a long time, urged the horse to pass, and cut the axe.
