Chapter 42 Intelligence

Although it was difficult for the beggar gang to plant eyeliner in Hanzhong, but after Zhang Lu surrendered, the beggar gang immediately extended their power into it, and naturally there was no obstacle under Yuan Yun's left and right.

So after seeing the information sent by the invincible subordinates, Yuan Yun bared his teeth, because the leader of the incitement turned out to be the ghost woman who was enchanting, and after seeing the enchanting name, he probably understood.

At the beginning, Zhang Lu chose to surrender, so he went to Yecheng alone, so that he could be kept alone, but his subordinates were more miserable, Cao Ang took over Hanzhong, the first thing he did was to clear these Zhang Lu's old departments, and with Jia Xu's strategy, basically these people had no way to live.

Enchanting is one of them, she could have followed Zhang Lu to Yecheng, but Enchanting stubbornly chose to stay, and disappeared on the day Zhang Lu set off.

The people of these riots were basically Zhang Lu's religious people, under the deliberate instigation of the enchantment, they launched a riot on a large scale, and the five thousand defenders of Hanzhong were forced to have no choice but to withdraw from Hanzhong City, but they were blocked all the way, and when they returned to Chang'an, they were less than three thousand, which can be described as a heavy loss.

Chang'an is guarded by Zhang Liao at the moment, but he is more guarding against the Xiliang realm, so even if he knows about the riots in Hanzhong, he can only choose to watch, otherwise as long as he moves, Ma Chao and Han Sui in Xiliang will definitely have different intentions.

After Cao Ang received the news from the flying pigeon, the only thing he could use in his hand was Yuan Yunsuo, who was repairing in Wancheng, so even if he knew that they had just finished the battle in Xinye, he could only let them go to suppress it, after all, the mob was not so difficult for the fully armed 10,000 gunpowder army.

Yuan Yun looked at the two flying pigeon biography in his hand, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, this time to suppress Hanzhong, it is estimated that the opponents are some ordinary people, but they have been brainwashed by the Wudou Mi Sect, so it is so extreme, and the gunpowder army is estimated to have countless casualties once it passes this time.

Pang Tong immediately planned the route of the march, from the west of Wancheng to Hanzhong City, there was not even any camouflage in the middle, he planned to go to the end, his confidence naturally came from the powerful gunpowder army soldiers.

Cao Hong was still generous this time and was ready to send 20,000 soldiers to follow, but Yuan Yun refused, and now Xinye has just broken and annihilated Liu Bei nearly 40,000 horses, who knows what this hypocrite will do, so it is the safest to let Cao Hong's 20,000 soldiers stay in Wancheng.

On the second day, the gunpowder army did not set off until ten o'clock at noon, and some people were even a little drunk, Cao Hong did spend money on last night's banquet, and prepared a large amount of food and wine, and tens of thousands of people ate and drank not a small number.

When Cao Hong's generals began to say that the transaction was at a loss, Cao Hong laughed, because he had already received a promise from Yuan Yun that a new batch of fertilizer and better seeds would be the first to be rationed in Wancheng, and with these things, it could already be expected that in the next few years, Wancheng's bumper harvest would have become settled, so some food and wine from the labor army would not need to be ignored at all.

The ration of the gunpowder army at this moment was less than fifty percent, and Cao Ang was also very aware of this, so he immediately transferred a batch of supplies to Chang'an by water, and Zhang Liao sent people to escort them into Hanzhong, and finally joined Yuan Yun.

Pang Tong seemed very energetic this time, and liquidated the remaining baggage of the gunpowder army early, and made a detailed list for Yuan Yun, after Yuan Yun read it, he roughly estimated that today's baggage supply can also carry out two relatively large-scale battles, if Chang'an's supply can not arrive in time, he can only put on a show in the Hanzhong territory, and then choose to return to Chang'an.

Unless the ration of the gunpowder army was sufficient, Yuan Yun was never willing to take risks in this regard, so the supply of Chang'an was very important, and in the end, at his insistence, Pang Tong chose to change the route, first close to Chang'an and then divert to Hanzhong City, which was also the safest way.

The army marched all the way, almost no resistance, and the enchanting seemed to be very taboo against Yuan Yun, so she chose to avoid it, and judging from the information sent by the invincible, this ghost woman was building near Hanzhong City, and almost every facility was aimed at the Gunpowder Army.

What's even more surprising is that the enchanting man actually surrendered to Liu Zhang, and opened the road south of Hanzhong, so that the soldiers and horses of Yizhou could enter the customs smoothly, Liu Zhang also felt that this was an opportunity, after all, Hanzhong was like a heart disease for him, and he always felt that there was something missing in his life if he didn't take it down, so he decisively sent troops, and this time he was quite brave.

On the way to the march, information like this was constantly being sent, and it was only at this time that Pang Tong learned that Yuan Yun had established such a huge intelligence network a long time ago, because not only the intelligence from Hanzhong was sent, but also the movements of Jingzhou and Yangzhou would also appear in these spy reports from time to time.

The first battle started on the fourth day of Yuan Yun's entry into Hanzhong, and it was a group of Qiang cavalry who came to attack, and these people were not inferior to the Karasuma people when they rushed to kill, but Hanzhong was not a northern plain, and the cavalry would be very cramped when they rushed to kill in the mountains, and the gunpowder gun seemed to be prepared to deal with cavalry.

This group of cavalry regiments composed of 5,000 men only rushed and killed for one afternoon, and when the sun set in the evening, they all chose to retreat, leaving only an empty camp, and the number of people who could withdraw became more than 3,000, more than 1,000 dead brothers, and they had no intention of paying any attention to it at all.

Watching the gunpowder soldiers under his command pile up the corpses of these Qiang people and burn them, Yuan Yun inexplicably felt an ominous premonition, the appearance of the Qiang cavalry must be inseparable from Xiliang's Ma Chao, but these people are used to looting in the Central Plains, so it is impossible to impose it on Ma Chao.

"Send an urgent letter to General Zhang Liao, asking him to strictly guard against the situation in the Xiliang realm, Ma Chao and Han Sui probably can't sit still." After Yuan Yun finished speaking, Shi Shen had already rushed out to prepare to fly the pigeon and pass the book.

Pang Tong watched Shi Shen leave, and then rode to Yuan Yun's side, at this moment the army had already set camp, and the corpses of the Qiang people on both sides of the road were burning in the raging fire, and some of the engineers of the Powder Army were still busy finishing up, and there was smoke wafting everywhere on the snow in the entire mountain.

"We still underestimated Liu Bei, this time they came up with this alliance, it seems that not only Yizhou and Yangzhou joined, I am afraid that the Xiliang territory, and even Liaodong have participated, and the sudden outbreak of civil rebellion in Hanzhong this time, I am afraid that Liu Bei will not be able to get rid of it." After Yuan Yun finished speaking, he sent another spy report to Pang Tong.

After Pang Tong took it, he only glanced at it, then nodded and said: "Liu Bei must have supported this popular rebellion in Hanzhong, when Cao Ang Shizi took over Hanzhong, he confiscated all the weapons and swords, and the main force of this popular rebellion has a very complete armament, and it is impossible for no one to support it behind him." ”

Yuan Yun nodded and said: "Now that we seem to have been surrounded, we feel like enemies in all directions, which is really a bit laughable." ”

When Pang Tong heard this, he shrugged his shoulders disapprovingly, and said: "What if they are surrounded, as long as they are eliminated one by one, the world can be truly peaceful, but I hope that they will come out as soon as possible, so that we can also start earlier, so that we can give the people of the world a stable environment earlier." ”

Yuan Yun smiled, then looked at Pang Tong and said, "Why is Shiyuan so optimistic now?" Didn't you always worry about this before? ”

Pang Tong laughed, and then pointed to the surrounding sergeants with the horsewhip in his hand, and then said: "The first battle of Xiliang, the first battle of Karasuma, and now the first battle of Xinye, the prestige of the gunpowder army is probably already a nightmare for all enemies, and this army that brings nightmares to people is in our hands, and my confidence comes from here. ”

After saying this, Pang Tong seemed to be very happy, so he didn't wait for Yuan Yun to reply, he raised his horsewhip, and then galloped out, and then his voice floated from a distance, and said: "The lord will follow slowly behind, and I will go to the front to open the way, so that the lord can walk more smoothly." ”

Yuan Yun shook his head and smiled bitterly, just watching Pang Tong gallop out on horseback, and the guards behind him didn't seem to react, so they could only chase hard, and a group of people went to the front team from the position of the Chinese army in such a show.

Shi Shen had already returned at this time, and after letting go of the flying pigeon for Chang'an, he received a new report, so he hurriedly sent it over.

Yuan Yun removed the red line seal on it, smiled after looking at it, and then shook the letter in his hand and said: "Dian Man is fragrant and spicy in the Karasuma people, the Karasuma people are really scared by us, Dian Man, as an envoy of the imperial court, received the warmest welcome, and Lou Ban also used the identity of Dian Man to reconvene more than a dozen tribes, and their gathering has already determined the future trend, that is, to start a war against the Xianbei people." ”

Speaking of this, Yuan Yun paused slightly, then looked back in the direction of Luoyang, and then continued: "Dian Man said that he would provide sword soldiers to Lou Ban, and Lou Ban was willing to exchange countless cattle and sheep in exchange, this matter has been promised by Cao Sikong, but so many sword soldiers always need someone to escort them, Dian Man thinks that Shi Shen is the most suitable for you." ”

Shi Shen was stunned when he heard this, and he trembled in an instant, and hurriedly shook his hand and said: "Lord, you should send someone else, just escort the sword soldiers, all the way is your own territory, there will be no chaos, the small one is the most important thing to stay and protect you." ”

Yuan Yun pursed his lips and said unhappily: "Didn't you say before that the roast sheep of the Karasuma people is the most delicious, and even if you eat it for a lifetime, you won't get tired of it?" ”

Shi Shen shuddered again, and replied with a heavy face: "Lord, I eat mutton all day long, the small ones can't stand it anymore, now I feel a terrible toothache when I hear the word sheep, don't mention those beasts, your lord, you can do well, just send someone over, and now many students who have graduated from Luoyang College are stretching their necks and waiting for the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and this credit will be given to them." ”

Yuan Yun was not angry, and he actually discussed with his own lord, Shi Shen did not have the consciousness of being a retainer at all, and just wanted to scold a few words, but suddenly heard a strong explosion, which suddenly made Yuan Yun's whole body tremble.

Turning his head, he happened to see that billowing smoke had risen from the front of the team, and Yuan Yun was relieved, because the baggage battalion was in the rear, as long as there was no explosion there, then there was no need to worry too much.

But when Yuan Yuncai put his mind at ease, he saw a knight meteor rushing towards him, and when he arrived at him, he immediately turned over and dismounted, and then knelt on the ground and hugged his fists and said: "Back to the commander, Pang Tong's army division was ambushed by the enemy when he was in the front, and the other party seemed to be using gunpowder bullets. ”

Yuan Yun instantly straightened up on the horse's back, and then squinted and asked, "Is Pang Tongjun a good teacher?" ”
