On this night, the Pingxingling Pass, which was originally sparsely populated, was full of people at this time, and the Guanning military camp was entrenched in the pass, and most of the local garrisons were trembling away, only daring to look at this black-armored army from a distance.

And Xiao Yi's Yong'an army was sent to camp in the most remote corner of the pass, with those guys and baggage soldiers.

At this time, Xiao Yi's camp was no different from Cao Wenzhao's camp, they were all generals and officials, but the generals of the Yong'an Army were still of low status, and they were not as famous as the generals of the Guanning Army.

"It's too much of a deception, my lord, let's leave them and do it alone, without the soldiers, we can train and march better!" Qi Zhan said angrily.

Gu Lin nodded and persuaded: "Today's march they humiliated the soldiers in every way, and they laughed at them more than once, my lord!" ”

"Yes, my lord, go talk to Mr. Cao!"

Huang Yang, Shi Gang, Wang Dayong and Liu Tong didn't speak this time, and the captains below were all angry, and they naturally felt Guan Ningjun's contempt for them and the indignation of his subordinate soldiers, they just looked at Xiao Yi with their hands around their chests, waiting for him to speak.

Xiao Yi was also thinking that although there was a small deterrence in the last competition, the effect he wanted was not achieved, except for Chi Deng himself, Guan Ningjun laughed about it, and even Chi Deng was only impressed by Zhou Baotai, and his opinion of others did not improve much.

He was also thinking about leaving Cao Wenzhao, in history, after Cao Wenzhao entered Shanxi, he did not have any great achievements at first, and he exterminated some small liukou, and it was not until next year that he began to contact Wang Jiayin, and then eliminated Wang Jiayin and was promoted for meritorious service.

Cao Wenzhao brought a full 3,000 Guanning cavalry, although these people are arrogant but the combat effectiveness Xiao Yi has seen, in the early days, it was difficult for the Yong'an army to follow them to make great achievements, Xiao Yi only wanted to use Cao Wenzhao to lead the army out of the country so as not to fall into the tongue, after this Pingxing Ridge out of the Datong boundary.

The thieves and thieves in Taiyuan Mansion are like clouds, and there are several peasant armies, each of which is thousands, and only after leaving the Guanning Army and the Yongan Army can they have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions and make great contributions!

At that moment, he waved his hand and cleared his throat, Xiao Yi finally spoke, and the tent was suddenly silent, only to hear him mutter: "Everyone don't be impatient, this official will go to Cao Zongbing and allow the Yongan Army to suppress the bandits." ”

"Well, it's long overdue!"

"Adults go and return quickly, brothers are waiting for the good news of adults!"

Looking at the happy expressions of the generals in the account, Xiao Yi was more confident, he believed that the Yongan Army was ready, and walked out of the big tent and strode towards the Guanning military camp.

When he arrived at the door, he was blocked by Guan Ningjun, who was guarding the door, and he still had a trace of disdain on his face, and shouted: "Who is coming!" ”

The corners of Xiao Yi's mouth curled, and he said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Yong'an Army Xiao Yi, please see General Cao." ”

The general glanced at Xiao Yi, and when he saw the armor and saber on his body, his eyes lit up, and he nodded and went in to report.

……

"Brother Xiao, what's the matter here?"

As soon as he entered the account, he heard Cao Wenzhao's hearty laughter, and then saw the Guan Ning generals around him who were pointing at him and whispering, Xiao Yi even heard some laughter.

In front of Cao Wenzhao, Xiao Yi was not good at attacking, he just smiled slightly, and said: "General, I think about it, lest I delay the progress of the general's march, and then delay the great cause of suppressing bandits. ”

Then there was a lot of discussion in the account, Xiao Yi heard someone saying that he was going to run away, and some people were ridiculing and ridiculing, Cao Wenyao was also stunned, looking at Cao Wenzhao.

Cao Wenzhao didn't know what Xiao Yi was thinking, and when he heard Xiao Yi's words, he waved his hand indifferently and said, "That's fine, if Brother Xiao encounters a large stream of rogues, he will send Ye Bu to come to me!" ”

Xiao Yi nodded, showing a look of great joy, and said, "Thank you, General!" ”

Then he strode out of the tent without hesitation, and he could hear the sound of laughter coming from inside the tent as soon as he stepped out.

After bringing the roller shutter of the camp tent, Xiao Yi's face was already gloomy, and he slowly walked back to the Yongan military camp with his hands clenched into fists.

On July 4 of the third year of Chongzhen, the Yong'an army broke away from Cao Wenzhao's army, Cao Wenzhao still led his 3,000 troops to the direction of Shenmu, and Xiao also led the Yong'an army to the southwest.

A day later, on the morning of July 5, the Yong'an army marched on the boundary of Taiyuan Province, and they all marched neatly in armor and helmets.

Beneath their feet was the weedy land, which had once been fertile land, but had been abandoned here, because the landlords and rich officers had received all the land under their hands, and the people had no land to cultivate, and the taxes were severe, they all became vagabonds, and the court was unable to manage them, and over time they all became rogues, or occupied the mountains everywhere or joined the peasant army.

They passed through a lot of forts and dun guards along the way, and the local defenders didn't even have the courage to interrogate when they saw Xiao Yi's hundreds of 'fierce gods and evil' formations, and they didn't dare to come out when they saw this group of people swaggering past under their forts with flags.

Xiao Yi looked at the happy expressions of the soldiers, his heart was also very happy, since he left the Guanning Army and walked all the way alone, although the number of people was much smaller, but the soldiers were all singing songs and walking on the road with neat steps.

Where is there a nervous look that should be there when going out to suppress bandits, everyone is full of care, going out to suppress bandits, the opponent is a group of homeless people, it is estimated that it is not as good as the horse thieves encountered before, what is there to fear.

However, Wang Dayong still spread the night far away, so as not to be ambushed, and he was also very concerned about the terrain and landforms along the way, in his words, these were all learned from Xiao Yi, and Xiao Yi was noncommittal.

The army has reached the boundary of Daizhou, where the military is under the jurisdiction of Zhenwuwei and the people are under the jurisdiction of Taiyuan Prefecture, not the same as Datong, where the military and civilians are under the control of Datong Prefecture.

On the topography, this is a plain, the Guanning army marched from the official road of Daizhou, and Xiao also marched from the small road dozens of miles south of Daizhou.

There should have been no peasant army arriving here, and there were only a few villages and towns, and the passage of the army had avoided some unnecessary fighting.

Taiyuan Mansion used to be rich in military and civilian population, rich in population, businessmen gathered, but now seen, these have become history, now Taiyuan Mansion is lax in armament, due to many years of use of troops, here and Shaanxi, the county garrison is very little.

It is rare to see a few pedestrians along the way, and even if you occasionally pass by a few small villages and towns, you can see some poor people, all of whom are dressed in vegetables.

What is even more incomprehensible is that there are still corpses on the road, and if you look closely, you can see that all the lower abdomen is shrunk, the bones are craggy, and the eye sockets are deep, obviously starving to death.

When I arrived at a place called Tucun Fort, which was used as a court fort, there should have been a court governor with 52 officers stationed here.

But Xiao Yi and the others didn't see a single officer and soldier, and the low yellow small earthen wall even collapsed in many places, looking depressed and dilapidated, and everyone faced each other.

Suddenly, out of the fort came a group of homeless people who were helping the old and the young, carrying simple things, each wearing tattered clothes and carrying a pair of small backpacks, and walking towards the north full of hope.

Wang Dayong received Xiao Yi's signal, and immediately ordered a few nights not to come forward to ask, but he didn't know that these homeless people were almost frightened when they saw Xiao Yi's gang.

In their eyes, these people have knives and guns, and they are strong and strong, so they must be bandits who block the road and rob, and they immediately fell to their knees in fright and cried.

The two of them hurriedly stopped their horses, and the two of them glanced at each other, projecting their helpless gazes at Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi saw it and signaled the others not to move, and took Huang Yang, Shi Gang, Wang Dayong and Liu Tong to step forward.

Listening to the accent of these uncles is not like that of the locals, Xiao Yi got closer to see the banners of the officers and soldiers behind him, and immediately became even more frightened, his eyes were full of fear, and he retreated step by step.

Xiao Yi couldn't help frowning, it was his own miscalculation, these homeless people knew that they were officers and soldiers, but they were even more afraid, and then signaled the soldiers behind him to stop fighting.

He stepped forward to offer condolences, and the homeless people glanced at each other a few times, and felt that although Xiao Yi and them were fierce and vicious on the outside, they all looked kind, and the official man also said that if he told the truth, he would even give himself some rice noodles?

When everyone's eyes widened, Xu Yimimean?!

At this moment, an old man stepped forward tremblingly. (To be continued.) )
