Although it is not as hot as July and August, under the scorching sun, there is not a trace of wind in the air, and it looks a little stuffy. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

But despite this, a long line of 20,000 people winds densely on the official road from Shangdang to Taiyuan.

20,000 soldiers of the state, under the scorching sun, hurried without complaint, because in the middle, was His Majesty the Emperor they guarded.

Among them, Xiahoudun led 3,000 sword and shield soldiers to open the way in front, Yang Yansi and Lu Zhi each led 6,000 pikemen to guard both sides, and Yang Zaixing led 3,000 cavalry in the rear to slowly follow.

Liu Wei and a group of civil and military personnel were protected by the soldiers in the center. It was surrounded by 2,000 archers.

As for Shangdang, there were 30,000 troops, a total of 17,000 pikemen, 5,000 cavalry, 5,000 sword and shield soldiers, and 3,000 archers.

Among the troops left behind by the Shangdang, there were only 5,000 pikemen, 2,000 sword and shield soldiers, 1,000 archers, and 2,000 cavalry. Although it was said to be a cavalry, there were only 3,000 horses in the party, but this time they were all brought out by Liu Wei. Therefore, it can only be said that the 2,000 cavalry left in the Shangdang were horseless cavalry.

However, fortunately, these two thousand soldiers have excellent physical strength, and in addition to horsemanship, they have also been taught martial arts by Yang Zaixing, so it is not a problem to deal with ordinary soldiers.

Taiyuan County, located in the north of Shangdang County, borders Yanmen County in the north, Xihe County in the west, and Jizhou in the east. Therefore, Liu Wei wanted to move the administrative office to Taiyuan, in addition to the strategic goal, because the party was too remote, and Taiyuan was not far from all places, and the news could be transmitted in a short time.

"Your Majesty, it's sunny outside, you really don't come in and sit?" In the center of the procession, on a carriage with ordinary decoration but not losing its majesty, Tang Wan opened the curtain and looked at Liu Wei outside the window.

Liu Wei rode on a rather strong foal, and during this time, he also learned to ride a horse, and the mount was a very docile and good horse of just adulthood personally selected by Yang Zaixing.

Liu Wei looked at the little Lori who showed a peerless appearance, shook his head and said: "No, I said that I want to lead by example, this little sun is nothing, not to mention that I am riding a horse, and the soldiers are on foot, but the queen mother and the queen are suffering, and they accompany me to run around and suffer." ”

When Tang Wan heard this, her eyebrows condensed, her eyes narrowed into crescent moons, and she smiled with happiness: "Compared with Your Majesty, what is the bitterness of the concubine?" What's more, His Majesty is to revive the Han Dynasty, and the concubines can accompany Your Majesty, and they are willing to be tired no matter how tired! ”

"The queen put down the curtain, the wind and sand in this northern land are strong, and it's not good to catch a cold!" When Liu Wei saw Tang Wan's appearance, he really wanted to go up and kiss her, but the conditions did not allow it, so he had to send Tang Wan into the carriage, and he could only see that he could not tempt himself by eating.

"The concubine wants to look at Your Majesty like this!" Tang Wan said with a shyly face.

Liu Wei suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness: "......"

"Report, Your Majesty, General Xiahou is here to report, there are bandits found ahead, ask Your Majesty what to do!" Suddenly, a scout Pegasus reported.

"Bandits? If there are bandits, they will be killed, and there are still few bandits encountered along the way? Are Xiahoudun's three thousand sword and shield soldiers still afraid of the little bandits? Liu Wei said disapprerovingly.

"No, Your Majesty's bandits are not large, only more than a thousand people, but the key is that there are two groups of bandits?" The scout continued.

Liu Wei frowned and said, "What the hell is going on?" Make it clear! ”

"That's right, just now the scout found that there were two volcanic thieves facing each other in front of him, and the leader of one of the bandits was still a girl! At present, General Xiahou is temporarily ambushed, and they have not found it, so General Xiahou sent the little one back to ask His Majesty what to do. The scout explained.

"?" Liu Wei's face darkened.

"It's a female thief, it's a female thief." The scout quickly changed his tune.

"The ancient woman has heard of it, but the female robber I really haven't seen it, let's go, Xiao Qi, Xiaokuan will accompany me to take a look!"

Liu Wei suddenly became interested, and controlled the mount to go forward, and behind Liu Wei, several horses also immediately galloped to follow.

Soon, Liu Wei and his entourage rode to the dense forest where Xiahoudun was ambushed, and on the official road ahead, two groups of bandits could be seen confronting each other from a distance.

"Meet Your Majesty! May I ask Your Majesty what to do with these two bandits? Xiahoudun asked Liu Wei.

"These two groups of bandits are also quite numerous, about more than a thousand people, if they join forces, although we can destroy them, there will still be casualties. It seems that this bandit is not a mountain, let's see the situation first! ”

"Lie in ambush quietly, and do not act rashly without my orders!" Liu Wei ordered coldly.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

This official road is not very wide, and there are high mountains on both sides, which is an excellent place for ambush according to the soldiers. Although Liu Wei and his party were far away from the two groups of bandits, the echo of the bandits' words could still reach the ears of Liu Wei and his party.

Each of these two bands of thieves had six or seven hundred people, all dressed as a group of robbers, and they had different weapons, so they were evenly matched.

But one of the gangs, led by a woman, was handsome, and there were several female bandits behind her, but in the end it was mostly men.

"Stinky? Do you want to take care of Lao Tzu's business too? The Montenegrin Army is not something you can afford to mess with! One of the leaders of the group stood shoulder to shoulder and pointed at the female bandit leader and scolded.

"I don't want to care about the affairs of the Montenegrin Army, but Siniang said, you Montenegrin Army bullied us, and the court has no ability to take care of us, we only have to protect ourselves. This time you bullied the people protected by Siniang, but it doesn't work, you have the ability, go and tell Siniang! The female thief showed no weakness, and returned in a light voice.

"Siniang, one day, my Montenegrin army will step on your cottage and dare to oppose us everywhere!" The leader with the broadsword was furious.

"I'm waiting for you to set foot in our cottage, but this time you get out of the old lady, otherwise when Siniang comes, none of you want to leave!" The female thief sneered.

When the thief heard that Siniang was coming, his pupils subconsciously shrank and said: "I'll let you go this time, and the next time I meet you, I will definitely let you stinky girls and stinky girls have a hard time!" Let's go! ”

The leader of the Black Mountain Army turned his horse's head and quickly left with a group of minions.

And the female bandit also left with a group of people after the Montenegrin army bandits left.

"Your Majesty, this is a good opportunity, do you want to attack?" Xiahoudun hurriedly asked?

"Don't you see that woman is protecting the common people? Although he is a thief, he can't help himself. The black mountain thief, who has a long-term plan to deal with them, is now rashly attacking, for fear of startling the snake. When they're gone, you're out of the way, don't be noticed by them. Liu Wei shook his head and said.

"No!" Xiahoudun surrendered his hand.

Liu Wenshu also rode down the mountain and returned to the main army.

"Xiaokuan, you have been in charge of Jinyiwei for a while, how is the layout of Taiyuan County?" Liu Wei asked.

"Your Majesty, the bandits in Taiyuan County are rampant, and the lives of the people are in trouble, and the news of Jinyiwei comes from the gangsters in the market, and the people of Taiyuan can't survive. There is time to take care of those news, so for the Jinyi Guard work in Taiyuan County, Weichen has no idea where to start for a while. Wei Xiaokuan shook his head and sighed.

"Well, the development of Jinyiwei is not achieved overnight, and the current manpower, Jinyiwei's funds are indeed tight!" Liu Wei nodded in understanding.

"Then Xiaokuan, do you know that in addition to the Black Mountain Army, there are any other rebel armies in Bingzhou? Do you know the identity of the woman just now? ”

"Your Majesty... Weichen's Jinyiwei has just entered Taiyuan, and the news has not yet been fed, and the minister has no information to sort out! Therefore, I still don't know anything about Taiyuan! Wei Xiaokuan's face was bitter.

Liu Wei shook his head and said, "Time is still too tight after all, Xiao Qi, you have been in Yanmen for a long time." Do you know who that woman was just now? ”

"Your Majesty, the last general only knows that there is a Montenegrin army in Taiyuan, and I have never heard of any other team that dares to fight against the Montenegrin army! And listening to what the female thief said, the leader should still be a woman, and the last general is even more unheard of? ”

Liu Wei's face was strange for a while, and he said secretly: "The famous martial arts in the Three Kingdoms are Sun Shangxiang and Ma Yunlu, but they haven't made a sound or a little kid yet!" When did another Siniang pop up! It seems that if you want to pacify Taiyuan, you have to use this as a breakthrough! ”
