After Wei Chixiao asked Zhang Ju and the others to confirm it, he happily peeled off Lin Xingcan's set of Mingguang armor specially customized for general-level figures and handed it to Han Shige; Because of the banner of the Righteous Army, Yang Chong was unable to send the armor he had built, and the generals of the Righteous Army really lacked good armor.

When Han Shige returned to the city, he announced to the people in the city and a group of prisoners that he was a righteous army without a deed, and that soldiers and civilians were welcome to join, and all the officers and prisoners who refused to join were given three days' rations and driven out of the city. Zhang Ju knew that he had no way out but to continue the rebellion, and he could only insist on not letting his old comrades-in-arms be wronged, but the discipline of the righteous army was good and fearful, and no one withheld the prisoners' food, and even some broken silver and copper coins that the prisoners carried with them were not confiscated.

There were more than 200 Sui soldiers who stayed with Zhang Ju, and ten days later they participated in the first distribution of the spoils, and on the day when the big leader Wu Duan'er and the remaining more than 16,000 soldiers and civilians all arrived, each of them was given five coins of silver. This frightened Zhang Ju, more than 20,000 people, one shot is more than 10,000 taels of silver, this is a rebel army with no food, this is purely supported by rich people.

However, Zhang Ju knew that the day after Han Shige conquered Huaiyuan City, a large number of merchants and displaced people began to come to Huaiyuan City for the night, and then went to Hexi. Zhang Ju then found that Wu Duan'er sent all the more than 2,000 people brought by the army to Hexi, and even the people in Huaiyuan City ran away with seven or eight hundred.

Zhang Ju was appointed by Wudu'er as the deputy Sima in the army, a high-ranking and powerless position, but qualified to participate in high-level meetings, but this morning Zhang Ju went to the council hall for the first time to discuss and found that Han Shige and half of the generals were missing. Zhang Ju asked Wu Duan'er, who smiled and said, "They have gone to Liupan Mountain, and after a few more days, we will set off one after another." Zhang Ju, there are no outsiders today, let me introduce you to a person, this is Cheng Yuan, a guest from Hexi. ”

Zhang Ju basically knew the division of Wudu'er's army, the cavalry and the personal guards led by the deputy marshal Han Shige, and the infantry leaders of the third battalion were Jing Pantuo, Wei Chili, and Yang Yanshi. Hearing Cheng Yuan's name, Zhang Ju was stunned, when Li Duan was still serving as the county guard, Zhang Ju heard that Cheng Yuan was responsible for arranging the displaced people to go to Hexi, Cheng Yuan said with a smile on his face: "I sent money, I heard that Zhang Sima is responsible for the aftermath of the righteous army, and we will deal with each other more in the future." ”

Cheng Yuan brought 5,000 copper coins and 300 war horses, Wuduan Er withdrew from Huaiyuan City seven days later, Zhang Ju left with the last batch of grain and grass, and when the army reached the halfway point, the good news had already arrived, and Han Shige controlled Xiao Pass in one fell swoop. Wu Duan'er immediately arranged to occupy the area of the Great Wall of Qin, two hundred miles north of Xiaoguan, including Guo'er Mountain, Yuhuang Mountain, Chengdong Plateau and other places, and sent Yang Yanshi to capture Talou County.

Talou County is just a small county town of more than 1,000 people, but for the rebels, it is better to talk than nothing; The most important thing is that the castle in Talou County is just in the middle of the Great Wall of Qin, Guoer Mountain, and Jade Emperor Mountain, plus the plateau in the east of the city, forming a complete defense belt. Liupan Mountain is a long and narrow mountain area that runs from north to south, so that the mountainous area from Xiaoguan to Talou County is almost under the control of the rebels.

Liupan Mountain spring to autumn without midsummer, there are many animals and plants, even if there is a shortage of food, the materials in the mountains can live for a period of time, not to mention that when retreating from Huaiyuan City, the righteous army also brought two months of food, the surrounding Anding County, Lingwu County, Pingliang County are all objects that can be robbed, Helou County itself is one of the four counties of Pingliang County, the other three counties are all places where grain is produced, Baiquan County is known as the granary, in addition to the county governance Pinggao County is a little difficult to bite, Baiquan, Moting's defense does not force him Lou County to be much stronger.

Knowing that Liukou Wuduan had sacked Huaiyuan County, and occupied Liupan Mountain and Xiaoguan with Han Shige respectively, Zhang Jin became more and more afraid to act, and went south along Liupan Mountain, killing Longshan is Guanzhong, a group of Liukou, who can guess where Wuduer will kill from. Li Yuan has given Wu Wei'er many times in Hedong, Yan'an and other places, and has been broken free by the opponent, this time Li Yuan killed more than 4,000 homeless people with thieves, and was reporting the good news, and the matter in Huaiyuan County was deeply slapped in the face.

The Hexi army couldn't wait to send troops to drive away Wudu'er and occupy Huaiyuan County, which made the remaining ministers of Chang'an feel like a man. Yang Chong repeatedly said in the recital that he was just expelling the Liukou, but now how to get back Huaiyuan County has become a problem, Cui Zhen's private message promised that as long as the officials and troops were dispatched, the Hexi Army would withdraw without a penny, but Li Yuanai would Lin Xingcang's fate, so that the left-behind division could not find the officials who were willing to go for a while.

Although no one said it on the surface, everyone knew that neither Hexi nor Wuduan'er's rebels were interested in the garrison of Huaiyuan County, and Lin Xingcang's death was related to his listening to Li Yuan's instructions to cut off the passage from Hexi to Taiyuan. Of course, the Wuduan Er Great Circle Movement Battle was absolutely successful, not only jumping out of Li Yuan's encirclement, but also avoiding the Yan'an chaotic battle, and advancing into Liupan Mountain through the fight between Liu Jialun and the Sui army in Yan'an County.

A group of people were forced to fall by the name Han Shige, and the two most critical people in Yang Xuangan's rebel army were Han Shige and Li Mi, both of whom were of noble birth and were good at strategy. Li Mi claimed to be Liu Zhiyuan, fled to Huaiyang County to recruit apprentices to give lectures, and wrote a five-character poem "Huaiyang Feelings", which was denounced, and Huaiyang Taishou Zhao Tuo sent people to search for Huaiyang County and its surrounding counties; Han Shige's mystery is revealed, it is the blue-faced general that Wuduer has always relied on.

Li Jing, Li Duan, and Li Weijie are the objects of suspicion first, the three brothers are Han Shige's cousins, and even have a royal history, Yang Chong's recommendation of Li Jing is to harbor evil intentions; Thanks to the support of the acting king Yang Yu and the general Yin Shishi, Wei Xuan did not take the three of them. However, Wei Xuan soon found that the officials' discussion of Liupan Mountain decreased all the way, and finally learned from Zhou Qian that after Han Shige and Wuduan Er occupied Liupan Mountain, they actually opened up a smuggling road to Hexi, only collecting tolls, and Tong Suo was not deceived.

Li Hong and Guo Rong are inseparable, although the passage between Hexi and Chang'an remains unblocked, it is full of risks for merchants who are less powerful, either robbed by the rebels, or robbed by the official army, and if they don't get it right, they will be killed by both sides. Han Shige's identity and the reputation of the rebels can guarantee that Liupan Mountain will never do such a thing to destroy the conscience of heaven; Wudu'er rebels rarely robbed merchants and civilians, and every time they attacked the city and plundered the land, the target was Haoqiang and the government, and the reputation of the generation in Hedong was even better than that of Fan Zigai's army.
