Chapter 139: Threat

The group packed up and immediately rushed to the Zongheng Mountain Range, and Su Yi arranged for some men to carry the wrestlers and cavalry who were injured in the battle to leave on stretchers.

Zhang Huan selected fifty men from the two thousand strong, each with a scimitar captured from the Hu people, barely enough to serve as a team of guards.

Soon, Su Yi and his entourage arrived at the border line of Shangjun County.

"My lord, shall we go into the city to rest?" Zhang Huan saw that everyone was very tired from rushing overnight, and when he saw a city in front of him, he suddenly showed joy.

Su Yi shook his head and said, "You can't enter the city!" ”

Along the way, he also learned some of the situation in Shangjun County from many homeless people, Chen Hu was not only removed by Liu Yu, but was even more reused, Liu Yu ignored the opposition of Gongsun Yiqing, appointed Chen Hu as the acting county commander, temporarily in charge of the affairs of Shangjun County.

Originally, the officials of Youzhou did not dare to blatantly smuggle with the Hu people, even the chambers of commerce in various places secretly transported contraband out of the customs, or risked transporting these materials from the vertical and horizontal mountains, with Chen Hu's matter, coupled with Liu Yu's statement, the officials and businessmen of Youzhou also began to be unscrupulous.

Under the pretext that this was done in order to divide the various departments of the Hu people, Liu Yu adopted a soft policy towards some Hu people, won over a group, and suppressed a group. His remarks were appreciated by Emperor Chu, and Liu Yu took the opportunity to propose to open up the official road to Saiwai, select some Hu tribes, sell some weapons and armor to them, and borrow their hands to suppress other Hu tribes.

This proposal was quickly vetoed by the hawks led by Huang Wenbing, and the construction of official roads was put on hold for the time being, but the situation in Liaodong became more serious, and many of Gongsun Yiqing's subordinates lost confidence in the imperial court.

Su Yi looked at the city not far away and fell into deep thought.

At this time, Shangjun County is completely up to Chen Hu, if they enter the city, once they are discovered by Chen Hu's subordinates, I am afraid it will be difficult to escape from the city, not to mention that Chen Hu's status in Shangjun County is now in full swing, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not do anything to kill good and take risks, the identities of Su Yi and others cannot withstand scrutiny, once they enter Shangjun County, it is difficult to say whether they are alive or dead.

"Bypassing Shangjun County, we would rather walk more and strive to reach Taohuazhai before dark!" Su Yi loudly encouraged his subordinates: "Back to Peach Blossom Village, I will let people prepare good wine and meat to greet you, now everyone grit their teeth and hold on!" ”

After listening to Su Yi's words, everyone showed a hint of disappointment, and even the wrestlers under Gao Heihu gradually showed fatigue. Seeing this, Zhang Huan cheered up, "The lord is right, we are carrying so many treasures now, and if we stay outside for a long time, I am afraid that it will attract some small attention, everyone hold on!" ”

When he was about to reach the Zongheng Mountain Range, Su Yi sent five cavalry back to the cottage to report the news, and they returned to the village with so many carts of treasures and women, it was inevitable that they would not be targeted by other bandits in the Zongheng Mountain Range.

Along the way, it is worth noting that the bandits on the official road are more serious than when Su Yi left, not only that, but the scope of the officers and soldiers has also been reduced a lot, in the past, the officers and soldiers of Shangjun County would also train near the official road, this time Su Yi came back, the officers and soldiers of Shangjun County were hiding in the city and spending all day drinking, and the soldiers stationed outside the city were also too lazy to go out of the camp.

In addition, various powerful forces also built forts and walls outside the city, such as Wangjiazhuang, which allied with other Zhuangzi, annexed the land of ordinary villages, and built walls on the periphery of Zhuangzi.

The situation in the vertical and horizontal mountains was even worse, the five cavalry sent by Su Yi were attacked by people, only three fled back to the cottage, and one of them was seriously injured, you must know that they are battle-hardened bandits, and they have never flinched in the face of the Hu cavalry.

After entering the Zongheng Mountain Range, Su Yi immediately ordered: "Liu Han'er took two hundred Hu people to open the way in front, leaving five hundred strong men to escort the supplies, Gao Heihu led the wrestlers to assist from the side, responsible for supervising the army, Liu 13 led the cavalry to protect the flanks, pay attention to the surrounding movements, and prevent being attacked by bandits, Zhang Huan took fifty guards to take charge of the rear of the palace, and the rest of the men and horses gathered in the center to maintain the formation of the march!" ”

The situation in the Zongheng Mountain Range was even worse than he expected, and the two thousand men who had purchased it from the Hu people had never been to such a dangerous place, trembling and following Su Yi and the others to march.

On the endless wilderness, countless bandits in different armor fought each other, and various banners were constantly intertwined, and the shouts of killing shook the sky. Su Yi looked ahead with a blue face, the form of the vertical and horizontal mountain range is becoming more and more sinister, as long as these bandits and rogues occupy a key road, they can specialize in robbing passing merchants, grabbing territory, and grabbing important roads often happens in the vertical and horizontal mountain range.

Although there are more than 2,000 people on Su Yi's side, these rogues can see at a glance that the more than 2,000 men are all croppers who have never seen blood, and the only ones who can really fight are dozens of men with maces in front of the team.

The bandwagon was disorganized, with different colors of armor and armor, and even ragged clothes and weapons of all kinds, some with knives, some with spears, and some with sticks and hoes.

Although they are numerous, they lack training, if the two thousand people led by Su Yi are bandits from Peach Blossom Village, he will not pay attention to these rogues at all, but now the two thousand people behind him are farmers with no combat experience, and the situation is not optimistic when encountering these vicious rogues.

Although these rogues are chaotic, each of them is ferocious and abnormal, they have to experience daily battles in the vertical and horizontal mountains, all of them are bloodthirsty and killing, and the madness exuded from their bodies makes the hearts of two thousand strong men tremble.

Today, they're eyeing a new prey. Although there are a large number of people on Su Yi's side, in the eyes of this group of rogues, they are also a group of rabble, and these hardcover men have no weapons in their hands, looking at the cart of treasures and women, the eyes of these rogues are red.

They have been following Su Yi's team, fortunately, Liu 13 led the cavalry to guard on the flank, whenever these rogues were eager to try, Liu 13 would send cavalry to deter the other party, and the men and horses on both sides kept a certain distance and slowly marched towards Taohuazhai.

This gang of rogues also has a leader, this person is famous among the many rogues, countless people have died under his hands, his face is hideous, his eyes are indifferent to the high black tiger, he knows that as long as he solves the high black tiger and those wrestlers with wolf fangs, the treasure carried by this team will become his bag.
