Yuan Lang never expected that Bai Shuai's whereabouts would finally be fixed in Longhu Mountain, and he was surrounded by more than 10,000 troops of Yan Liang and Wen Chou. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Longhu Mountain, that is the territory of Longhu Cottage Xie Jianiang.
If you want to say that you are not close, after all, they are good bandits, and Yuan Lang is an official and an army. But if you want to say that you don't have a relationship, it's not a little nothing, after all, the Xie family's trip to Yecheng was with Yuan Lang, and they have lived together for a while, and they can be regarded as having spoken heart-to-heart words, which can be regarded as acquaintance. Besides, the business of Longhu Cottage in Yecheng is still the thread that Yuan Lang helped pull, which is not small.
However, how could Zhang Bai ride them back to be surrounded on Longhu Mountain, isn't there still a mountain separated from the dammed lake, there must be something hidden here.
Now that he had learned of Zhang Baiqi's whereabouts, Yuan Lang immediately ordered the scouts outside to concentrate the scope of detection on the area with Longhu Mountain as the core.
In order to put Zhang Ruyan, Zhang Ning and other people who care about Zhang Baiqi at ease, Yuan Lang claimed that Zhang Baiqi's whereabouts have been known, and it turned out that he got lost and went to Longhu Mountain, and Keri can return, so everyone can wait with relief.
Yuan Lang didn't know how long he could be deceived by the white lies he weaved, so for the sake of insurance, he immediately summoned Huang Long and Bai Bo, and ordered them to recruit 5,000 soldiers and horses, led by him personally, and secretly went to the area of Longhu Mountain to see the opportunity, claiming that it was only a troop transfer, and did not reveal any information about going out of the city at all.
Because Zhang Ning and Zhang Ruyan wanted to accompany Zhao Yu, the two daughters did not have too many doubts about this matter, they only prayed for Bai Shuai to return safely, and looked forward to Yuan Lang to quickly complete the troop adjustment and bring them back new good news as soon as possible.
Yuan Lang led the army out of the south gate, this trip may encounter Yan Liang and Wen Chou's army, so Yuan Lang is the elite, and at the same time, it is rare to bring Huang Long and Bai Bo two generals, and entrust all the important tasks in the city to Zhou Liang, hoping that he can live up to expectations and hold the county for a day or two until they come back.
Yuan Lang can be described as a dangerous move this time, you must know that all his lives are in the city, not only that, but the princess of Wannian is now staying in his county guard's mansion, once the county town is lost, he and the Yellow Turban Army will fall into a situation from which they will never recover.
But there is no way to do this, Zhou Liang's trust can be said to have reached the point of no return, no wonder Zhou Liang will kowtow again and again after hearing about Yuan Lang's appointment, because he also knows that this burden is too heavy, he Zhou Liang is neither Yuan Lang's henchman and old general, nor is he a capable person, Yuan Lang trusts him so much and entrusts him with this heavy responsibility, he is not psychologically prepared at all.
There is no general Liao in Shu to become a pioneer, Yuan Lang is experiencing this pain all the time, although Zhou Liang's ability is average, but his loyalty is commendable, Yuan Lang handed over the county seat to him, at least there will be no major omissions, if you still hope to wait until he comes back safe and sound, it depends on whether Yan Liang and Wen Chou's base camp will have soldiers and horses to attack the county seat.
Zhou Liang's weight is already an ironclad matter, Yuan Lang is not only thinking about this matter along the way, he is thinking more about Zhang Baiqi's current situation and whether Longhu Mountain can help him through this difficulty.
"Report~, Huang Shuai, a large number of people who have withdrawn from the mountains have been found ahead!"
The probe horse in front returned, and Yuan Lang immediately became alert.
Yuan Lang was flanked by Huanglong, as soon as he saw Yuan Lang stop at the horse, he immediately stepped forward and said: "After the war, most of the people around the county town lived in the mountains and forests in order to protect themselves, and now Yan Liang's army has entered the mountains to encircle and suppress Longhu Mountain, and must have driven these people out!" ”
Yuan Lang nodded yes, he looked ahead silently, and saw that there seemed to be a chaotic cry between the darkness, appearing and disappearing.
"The people crossing the border of the army are bound to be frightened, the two generals Huang and Bai, you restrain the army to pay attention to concealment, and send another hundred troops as guides to lead this group of people in distress into the city for refuge, remember, their identities must be verified until they are handed over to Zhou Liang!"
Yuan Lang decisively ordered the resettlement of this group of refugees who came down from the mountain, he is the parent official of Changshan County, if he does not take care of his people because of the war, then he can still do a long job as a county guard who has lost the hearts of the people.
"No!"
Huang Long, the second general of Bai Bo ordered to go down and arrange.
Yuan Lang drove his horse to a hillside, where the terrain was high, and he could vaguely see the fleeing army at the bottom of the cliff.
There were a lot of people, and as Huang Long said, these people were all people who did not take refuge in the county town and chose to flee to the freer mountains and forests for refuge.
They thought that they could be safe in the mountains and forests, but they didn't expect that Yan Liang's army would give up encircling and suppressing the county town and instead surrounded Longhu Mountain.
Yan Liangjun gave up the near and far, and the purpose of the lord to encircle and suppress Longhu Mountain, Yuan Lang also thought about it. This was a difficult question to think about, but when Yuan Lang was at a loss, he used empathy to find the most likely answer.
If Yuan Lang is replaced by Yan Liang now, as the commander of the army, what is the most important question for him to think about. Undoubtedly, survival.
Survival means having food and grass, food is for the soldiers to fill their hunger, and the early spring just after the earth has just recovered, the forage for horses is also extremely critical, so a grain, a grass, both are indispensable.
Then the answer to the question is very clear, Yan Liang's purpose of encircling and suppressing Longhu Mountain must be for the grain and grass that he urgently needs at present, Longhu Mountain, which has been recuperating for many years, meets such conditions, and it is easier to conquer than Changshan County, which has high walls and strong walls, and has abundant troops and grain and grass.
Therefore, Yuan Lang came to an imaginary conclusion, that is, it was inevitable that Yan Liang's army would attack Longhu Mountain, and Zhang Baiqi and them might really be involved in this battle around grain and grass outside the main battlefield because they were lost.
In any case, it doesn't matter if it's a mistake, because Zhang Baiqi wants to be saved, and Longhu Mountain, as a non-negligible allied force in Changshan County, is also saved.
More importantly, Longhu Mountain must not fall into the hands of Yan Liang, otherwise wouldn't the enemy army on the verge of running out of food be brought back to life.
Without further ado, Yuan Lang hurriedly ordered the army to secretly approach in the direction of Longhu Mountain, pacified the refugees who crossed the border one by one and arranged for them to take refuge in the county seat.
After this section of the road, Yuan Lang's troops have contacted no less than 300 refugees alone, and this number is still increasing.
However, it is advantageous that Yuan Lang also heard the military situation ahead from the mouths of these refugees, that is, Yan Liang's army has surrounded Longhu Mountain, and is fiercely attacking the mountain.
