Fortunately, three Jiaozhi spies pretending to be monks were caught in Kunlun Pass. From the interrogation of Ruan Binh Chung and Huang Jinman's statement, Han Gang can be sure that the news of the defeat of Liu Yong by the official army did not come out.

Even if the spy is dressed in a monk's coat, he does not dare to go to Kunlun Pass during the day. The three of them went out of the city during the day, and rushed to Kunlun Pass to report the news at night, so they were all overtaken by Su Ziyuan and He Yi, who were riding on horseback.

But now that the news of the gold is full anyway, the news has spread, and smart people will choose to take the trail to bypass Kunlun Pass. As long as you have the heart, after two or three days, the bottom of Han Gang's hand will be able to appear in front of Li Changjie.

Huang Jinman looked at Han Gang's face and interrogated the spies and captives, his expression was still gloomy. stepped forward and cautiously proposed: "Envoy, do you want to send troops to guard other paths?" ”

"Hmm." Han Gang nodded, "You can do this quickly." Select competent people to block the trails that bypass Kunlun Pass as much as possible. As long as they are going to cross the trail to Yongzhou, they will be killed. "Han Gang is murderous, in this situation, he can delay for one more day, and he is one point closer to the withdrawal of Jiaozhi.

Han Gang wasn't afraid of his own details, but he couldn't be too early. As long as Li Changjie got the news of Jinman's rebellion, he straightened up and prepared to retreat. After he began to leave for the south and returned, even if he learned that Han Gang only had 800 officers and soldiers in his hands, it would not be so easy to turn back. Han Gang only needs to have a few days between the two pieces of news to fight for a glimmer of life for Yongzhou City.

"It's not too late to make amends." Han Gang turned around, and Su Ziyuan's blue face fell in his eyes, "The legs and feet of the treacherous will not be so fast." ”

After the gold was full of orders, he immediately ordered the soldiers to set off, he wanted to guard Kunlun Pass, and the main roads around him were sent to check once, and there were already people watching, and now they are sending more people to block and intercept them, and they don't need to be busy checking the map.

"It's also sincere." Li Xin was very satisfied with Huang Jinman's attitude towards things, and said to Han Gang in a low voice, "This time, he has to inspect a barbarian department. ”

A term of inspection means that it will be included in the official establishment of the imperial court, and at the same time it will be issued to Yulu. It's not just a kind of official position that is given to the barbarian leaders of the Quartet, and belongs to the false name of the assassin history and the regimental training envoy.

Obedient and capable subordinates, except for some jealous and unconfident people, basically no boss will not like it, Han Gang is also very satisfied with Huang Jinman. If he was to be replaced by the people at both ends of the first rat to guard Kunlun Pass, where would he be so easy to stand on the head of Kunlun Pass.

Now I don't know if Pennsylvania can plug this loophole in time. Han Gang only had 800 soldiers in his hands, and if he wanted to block all roads, he could only rely on Jinman.

"I don't know when Han Lian will come back." Li Xin asked.

"Tomorrow. From Kunlun Pass to Yongzhou, it will take a long time to come and go. "As soon as he arrived at Kunlun Pass, Han Gang had already sent scouts to inquire about the news of Yongzhou City, and took advantage of the night to take a look at the situation in Yongzhou City. If conditions permit, set a few more fires to inform the soldiers and civilians in the city. Although it doesn't play much of a harassing role, and it's impossible to get in touch with Yongzhou City, their appearance can put some pressure on the Jiaozhi people, "I hope they can bring back good news." ”

Coming out of the main hall, what greeted Han Gang and the three of them was a sky full of stars.

Su Ziyuan looked up at the stars in the sky, "It's already February, and in a few days, the rain here in Guangxi will gradually increase, and it won't become scarce until after autumn." ”

"When it rains, there is no way to fight, so I can only collect the troops and go home."

Su Ziyuan sighed, "It's a pity that it rarely rains in Yongzhou in winter, otherwise Li Changjie wouldn't have been able to besiege Yongzhou for so long." ”

Han Gang nodded, whether Yongzhou City was captured or not, once the rain continued, even the Jiaozhi people would have to withdraw their troops. Tens of thousands of troops gathered in a warm and humid environment, epidemics are inevitable, and it is impossible for Li Changjie to change this reality, and he is the same.

For the next six months, in order to avoid the rain, there was no battle. Even if you want to counterattack the country, you will have to wait until after the autumn to start moving.

Huang Jinman arranged the manpower at this time, and trotted back to report to Han Gang and the three of them one by one. Han Gang, who is not familiar with geography, has no questions to ask about his arrangement, but Su Ziyuan did not speak, so there should be no problem.

After praising this Guangyuan handsome, Han Gang asked again: "Huang Jinman, how many other Guangyuan handsome people are following Li Changjie now?" How many people are there? ”

"At the beginning, I was deceived by Li Changjie, and the big leader who went north together, together with the villain, there were a total of four people, among whom Liu Ji was the leader. However, under the city of Yongzhou, he was shot by a god arm bow and killed a Shen Jingfu, and his subordinates were taken over by his brother Shen Jinggui. When the villain was sent to guard Kunlun Pass, Shen Jinggui plus Liu Ji and Wei Shou'an, there were about 20,000 soldiers and horses in total. But now it's only about fifteen or six. ”

"Yongzhou City is well defended, and they have suffered heavy casualties, that's for sure." Han Gang said, "I wonder if you can send someone to contact them?" Even if they can't be allowed to attack Li Changjie, it would be good if they could withdraw to their hometown as soon as possible. ”

Huang Jinman didn't answer immediately this time, and hesitated for a while, "Li Changjie also put a commander in Quy Nhon Shop, and after hearing that the villain is anyway, it is inevitable that he will send troops and horses out to block the news." It's no problem for the villain to send someone to inform the three families, but he is afraid that he will not be able to send it to them, but he will be intercepted by Li Changjie. ”

Han Gang's answer to Huang Jinman was not surprising. He knew very well that since Huang Jinman had taken refuge in him, he would inevitably have the worry of being shared the credit, and he would not be too careful about recruiting the other three handsome people, this matter should be done by himself privately, at most, it would only be enough for Huang Jinman to send an introducer, not to let him be responsible.

Su Ziyuan frowned beside him, he was dissatisfied with Han Gang handing over the matter to Huang Jinman, and at the same time, he was a little annoyed by Huang Jinman's shirk, "Yun Envoy, it's better to leave this matter to the lower officials." If it was only a cronie of the Yellow Cave Lord, it would be difficult to win the trust of Liu Ji and the others. Only when the lower officials brought the handwritten letter of the envoy would they believe in the sincerity of the imperial court. ”

"No, Boxu, you can't go." This time, Han Gang refused without any leeway.

"Liu Jidang hasn't known about Liu Yong yet, so the envoy doesn't have to worry about it!" Su Ziyuan argued.

"It's none of Liu Ji's business." Han Gang did not oppose Su Ziyuan's actions because of how good the relationship between the two brothers Liu Ji and Liu Yong was, it was only a trivial matter to convince Huang Jinman, who was guarding Kunlun Pass alone, but as Huang Jinman said, to convince the three barbarians around him, but he had to arrive at Yongzhou City first, "There will be no danger for you to come to Kunlun Pass last night." But going to Yongzhou is different, and the risk is too great along the way. ”

Su Mian's family is in Yongzhou City, and only Su Ziyuan has run out, and the probability of failure is close to seventy or eighty percent of the task, and it is impossible for Han Gang to hand it over to him. Yongzhou City can't be saved, Su Ziyuan has another accident, and in the future, the Su family will not even have a grave.

"Fortune envoy ......" Su Ziyuan understood Han Gang's intentions, and said earnestly, "The king is loyal, and the father is filial." Xia Guan went to persuade Liu Ji and the others to vote, and they were loyal to the Son of Heaven in Tokyo City, and filial piety to their parents in Yongzhou City. If he is afraid of death and does not go, then Su Ziyuan is not a disloyal and unfilial person?! ”

"No! Originally, I didn't plan to convince Liu Ji and the three of them seriously. Han Gang didn't argue with Su Ziyuan at all, and turned to Huang Jinmandao, "You send someone to see Liu Ji and the others, whether you catch it or not, it's all beneficial and harmless to us." So don't choose cronies, just be a little shrewd and capable. ”

Speaking of which, Han Gang also hoped that the messenger he sent would be caught, and the discord plan was much easier to take effect than to bribe and persuade him. He didn't believe that Li Changjie could be generous, and after the golden man defected, he could still let the Guangyuan barbarian army stay by his side with peace of mind. The enemy army is approaching, and the allies around him are unstable, and the wise people know that it is time to retreat.

"I only need to split the Jiaozhi and Guangyuan coalition forces, and as for whether they will turn against each other, I don't expect them to learn half of the Yellow Cave Lord." Han Gang smiled at Su Ziyuan, who couldn't let go, "Just let Li Changjie and Liu Ji be suspicious of each other." ”

"The envoy is really extraordinary. It is expected that the Li family child will be suspicious, and when the time comes, the two sides will not agree, and he will have to leave if he doesn't want to go. Jin was full of words, patted Han Gang's ass, turned around and went to arrange people.

Han Gang glanced at Su Ziyuan, "Boxu, you go and rest first." You worked hard all night yesterday, and even today, you haven't slept for two days. ”

Su Ziyuan was in a depressed mood, and he didn't want to say anything, so he bowed his head and saluted: "The lower official retires." ”

Han Gang looked at Su Ziyuan's somewhat ethereal back and walked into the city tower, and sighed, "I can only do this now." ”

"That's all there is to it." Li Xin also sighed, "It all depends on whether Yongzhou can hold it." ”

"This matter can only be said to be doing one's best and obeying the destiny of heaven." Su Ziyuan was not there, so there was no need for Han Gang to hide what he was thinking. He has too few resources at his disposal. If you want to break the siege of Yongzhou by force, you need at least ten times as many troops. He has always liked to use power to suppress people, and he used tactics to be helpless when the soldiers were weak.

"Third brother, I've always wanted to ask, how sure are you about saving Yongzhou City this time?"

"Ichisei ...... No! Han Gang thought for a moment and shook his head again, "Maybe it's only one percent." "From the beginning he didn't have much hope, but as long as it's not zero, he can't turn a blind eye. If you ignore it, even if you are 90% sure, it will become zero; And try your best to fight for it, a 1 percent chance may also become 100 percent, "You can't sit back and watch the Jiaozhi people slaughter the people of Yongzhou." ”
