After guarding for a few days, he finally saw the business come to the door, Jiang Tao suddenly came to his senses, pulled out all the soldiers guarding the door, and stood in two rows in the city gate hole. The convoy was too large, and Jiang Tao was worried that he would not be able to control them if he had fewer people.

The convoy traveled very fast, and in a blink of an eye it was outside the East City Gate. Jiang Tao led two soldiers to meet him, and said with a big grin: "Stop! What for? ”

A clear-eyed man stepped forward, and it was Li Wei, a cavalry captain, who was pretending to be him. Li Wei listened to Jiang Tao's pretentious shouting, and hurriedly nodded and said: "Master Jun, you are doing well, our master came from Taiyuan to take refuge, and those Xianbei people are really a little uncomfortable." No, it's a ...... with a mouth."

Jiang Tao's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "Nonsense! Xianbei people are guests invited by the general, and if you dare to slander the general's guests, you can't rebel! ”

Li Wei stretched out his hand and replaced a small cloth bag.

Jiang Tao took the cloth bag and checked it in his hand, which was quite weighty. However, seeing that several carriages in this team were quite luxurious, and even the family members were wearing gorgeous clothes, Jiang Tao moved his mind again, his face sank, and said, "No, I still have to check and check!" ”

Li Wei hurriedly said: "Please also make it convenient for adults, the car is full of female dependents." ”

I heard that it was a female dependent, and Jiang Tao came to the spirit. In the past few days, his brother Jiang Lang has taken this opportunity to buy a lot of beauties, including young ladies from large families. Last night, he also saw Jiang Lang holding a big girl with yellow flowers in his arms in the county office, which made him red.

Don't care how majestic you are in the countryside, if you can't enter the city and fall into the hands of Xianbei people, it is called every day and the earth is not spiritual. For the sake of the order, whoever can enter the city will be considered to have saved his life. At this time, the county magistrate who determines who can enter the city, or even an ordinary gatekeeper, is enough to control their power of life and death. Jiang Lang and the others did not take the opportunity to swallow up these people's family property, but just begged for a few girls, which was already quite "benevolent".

Jiang Tao pushed Li Wei away, lifted the curtain of the car, and sure enough, he saw a pair of charming young women sitting inside, his eyes suddenly straightened, and he reached out to drag them down.

Li Wei hurriedly stopped: "This is my lord's beloved concubine......"

Jiang Tao shook his hand and slapped Li Wei, and shouted: "Call your master over, I have taken a fancy to these two girls, that is his blessing!" If you don't make friends, don't want to go to the city! ”

At this time, Zhang Liao, who was dressed as a squire, stepped forward and arched his hand and said, "This lord, can you save some face for Xiaomin, let's go in and talk about it in detail." ”

Jiang Tao shook his head disdainfully and said, "If you push like this again, you will be detained!" ”

Zhang Liao seemed to be frightened by him, turned his head and shouted, "What are you doing in a daze, don't get out of the car quickly!" ”

With this roar, the six women in the carriage all walked down. Red, fat, green and thin, Jiang Tao was dazzled and swallowed saliva.

Zhang Liao gently poked Jiang Tao, who was still in a daze, and whispered, "My lord, let's go in and talk slowly?" ”

Jiang Tao was already dizzy at this time, his eyes looked at the women without blinking, and his feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, until the women entered the city gate hole, and then he reluctantly chased after them. His soldiers did not dare to move, and could only watch them disappear into the city gate.

After a while, I saw Zhang Liao walking out dejectedly and making a gesture to those family members. The family members hurriedly lifted the cage off the cart and carried it to the city gate with great difficulty. One of the housekeepers stumbled under his feet, and the cage fell to the ground, rolling gold and silver jewels on the ground. While the soldiers were greedy, the family members hurriedly stuffed the treasure into the chest.

Soon, Zhang Liao poked his head out again, beckoned to the soldiers, and said, "The general called you, come in quickly!" ”

There are money and beautiful women in the city gate, and the beauties are probably not their share, but the boxes of gold, silver and jewelry must be indispensable to them. The soldiers rushed in with a "hula", and some even threw away their knives and guns.

After a pillar of incense, the soldiers walked out of the city gate hole one after another, and the one in front wearing the captain's armor suddenly became Li Wei. Half an hour later, a large group of cavalry swarmed in from the east gate of Wu County, and soon took control of the four gates and occupied the county office. Jiang Lang wanted to resist, but he was chopped over with a knife, and went to the Netherworld to join his own brothers, and the few beautiful girls he worked so hard to get had no chance to continue to enjoy.

The original plan was to occupy Jieshan before dawn, but he didn't expect to take the two cities of Jiexiu and Wuxian one after another, and advanced to the bank of Zhaoyu Ze, the speed was so fast, even Zhang Liao himself didn't expect it.

The soldiers of the Fourth Legion marched long nights and captured two cities in succession, and although they had not experienced any major battles, they were extremely tired. And at this time, the sky was already bright, and it was impossible to surprise the attack. So, Zhang Liao urged the follow-up men and horses, and on the other hand, asked the soldiers to change into Yuan Junyou's clothes and armor to go to the city to guard.

Although the surrounding cities of Zhaoyuze are dense, because of the disaster of the Xianbei army, the city gates of these county towns are now ready to be closed at any time, and the catchers and officials do not dare to go to the countryside to inspect. Therefore, the news that the two cities of Jiexiu and Wuxian were captured by the Han army does not have to worry about leaking out for the time being.

However, many people who had fled from the north asked to enter the city, and the Han army defending the city did not make it difficult and let them in. Just far away from the city gate, a strict guard was set up, and no one was allowed to leave the city.

At noon, Gao Shun also rushed over with follow-up men and horses, and brought 10,000 engineers. With the addition of these 10,000 engineers, the speed of repairing the city wall and constructing fortifications suddenly accelerated a lot.

In the Wuxian County Ya, Zhang Liao looked at the delicate sand table in front of him and frowned and said: "Your Majesty's will is for us to take these cities within three days, and it is really a fluke to be able to take two county towns in a row by surprise today." How to fight the rest of the battle, I don't know what General Gao thinks? ”

Gao Shun stared at the sand table for a long time and said, "If you attack with great fanfare during the day, it will inevitably attract the attention of the Yuan army, and even attract a large group of Xianbei cavalry." If you choose to attack at night, it is not bad to capture at most two cities a day, then it is impossible to complete the task assigned by Your Majesty in any way. ”

Zhang Liao nodded and said, "So, we have to think of another good plan." ”

Gao Shun was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "If we can find a way to capture Daling first, set up a defensive line here, and then turn around and attack those cities." As long as the front line of Daling can withstand the attacks of the Yuan army and the Xianbei people, and fight for a day, we can calmly capture those cities! ”

Zhang Liao choked his wrists and said: "It's a pity that there are no ships, otherwise, through Zhaoyuze, you can go straight to Daling City." ”

Gao Shun stroked his palm and said, "That's right! If you pass from Zhao Yuze, you can avoid Yuan Jun's ears and eyes. ”

Zhang Liao regretted: "It's just that in a hurry, where to get these many ships." ”

At this time, the soldiers outside the door suddenly reported that Hou Qinu was coming.

After capturing the Jiexiu City Gate, Hou Qinu and his forty special forces soldiers did not say goodbye, and Zhang Liao also had a lot of complaints about this, otherwise, if there was the help of Hou Qinu and his subordinates, Wu County would be easier to take.

Hou Qinu was not under Zhang Liao's command, so after entering the hall, he didn't care about Zhang Liao's face, arched his hand, and said, "It turns out that the two generals Zhang and Gao are here, so it's even better." The last general has just returned from Daling, where the defense is lax, as long as a light army is dispatched, it can be taken down in an instant! ”

Zhang Liao was unconsciously moved and said, "You went to Daling?" ”

Hou Qinu grinned and said: "The master has an order, if the conditions permit, he should take the tomb first, and then he will go to other counties." The last general just went to make a stop. ”

Although Liu Xin has been proclaimed emperor, in the eyes of Hou Qinu, a barbarian man, the status of the master is obviously higher than that of the emperor, so he still calls Liu Xin the master.

Gao Shun lost his voice and said: "It turns out that everything has been expected by His Majesty!" ”

Zhang Liao glanced at Hou Qinu and said, "General Gao and General Gao are discussing this matter. If you start by land, your tracks will inevitably be exposed, and you can only choose the waterway, passing through Zhaoyuze, but there is a lack of ships. ”

Hou Qinu arched his hand and said: "The matter of the ship, the last general has been prepared for the two generals, and he can set off tonight!" ”

Out of Wu County, twenty miles northwest is Zhaoyuze. This is the largest lake in Taiyuan County, almost in the form of a rectangle long from north to south and wide from east to west, and it is connected to Fenshui all the way to the north. At this time, Zhaoyuze was still quite large-scale, and it was summer, and the shore of the lake was lush with reeds, and the breeze blew and rustled.

Hou Qinu stood by the reeds and whistled, and suddenly many small boats rowed out of the reeds. There are two kinds of boats, one is a small fishing boat with a reed shed, and the other is strange, like a large barrel, except that it is not made of wood, but made of cowhide.

Gao Shun looked at the more than two hundred small boats in front of him and asked, "How many people can these boats carry?" ”

Hou Qinu obviously had done his homework in advance, and said unhurriedly: "There are two hundred and eight fishing boats, each of which can carry five soldiers, and twenty cowhide rafts, each of which can carry eight soldiers, and a total of 1,200 soldiers. ”

Zhang Liao groaned: "General Hou, since you have been to Daling, do you know how many defenders there are in Daling?" ”

Hou Qinu arched his hand and said: "The defenders of Daling are only a thousand people, and they are all old and weak soldiers, so there is no need to worry. ”

Gao Shun nodded and said, "In this way, so many people are enough." ”

Hou Qinu added: "However, the general still needs to prevent the counterattack of the Yuan army, so these 1,200 people must be selected elite soldiers!" ”

Zhang Liao said proudly: "There are no bad breeds in my Fourth Legion, all of them are elite soldiers!" ”
