Let's correct it a little here, the partial pass or the partial head pass, are the more conventionally known after the Song Dynasty, in the post-Tang Dynasty, there is actually only a small village here, called the partial head of the head.

There are about 300 people in the area, most of whom make a living from farming and grazing, and also earn money from passing merchants.

As for how to earn the money of merchants, then the knowledge is great, opening a hotel, a restaurant, a brothel, a guide can make money, and some people are diligent to go to the Yellow River ferry to help guests ferry to make money. It's really not a business to block the road and rob it, and at the same time, it has given birth to another business of being a bodyguard. It is more common for two brothers in a family, one of them blocking the road and robbing the other as a bodyguard for the guests. If you have money, everyone earns it together, which is the survival concept of the biased people.

There is a big family in the head, surnamed Wei Chi, is an old man with one-eighth Han blood, he himself also considers himself a Han, and it is said that he is the descendant of Chi Gong, a famous general in the Tang Taizong period.

Of course, it is impossible to say whether it is the descendants of the Wei Chi family who left behind to guard the border pass, or whether a certain Hu girl entertained Yu Chi Dashuai for one night.

After all, more than 300 years have passed, time is too long, and contact with the Wei Chi family in the capital has long been cut off.

Master Wei Chi is a big family, and his business is even bigger, and he earns the money of a warlord.

For example, his eldest son led more than a dozen family members to put on the military uniforms of the Shuozhou army, and with the funding of the Shuozhou army, a city pass was built at the crossing. By the way, he also opened up wasteland next to Chengguan and planted some sorghum and other things, which can also be self-sufficient.

His second son was wearing the military uniform of the Dingyan Army and selling tofu in a small shop in Yankou, while the guy who did chores for him next to him was wearing the military uniform of the Xinzhenwu Army.

The guys in the tofu shop were hired by the Xinzhenwu Army to collect intelligence, and every three days, the cavalry of the Xinzhenwu Army would come to collect the report, and at the same time pay a copper plate to the tofu shop guys as payment.

The Dingyan army was a little lazy, and only came over once a month to pay the second son of Master Wei Chi in exchange for information.

Originally, there was a nephew who was wearing the clothes of the Khitan cavalry and herding horses in the valley, but one day he was killed by a few passing heroes who thought it was really a lone Khitan, and since then, Master Wei Chi has never dared to take over the business of the Khitans.

Later, the Khitans hired another guy in the tofu shop to send information to a local tyrant in Yongbyon Prefecture, since the old man Yu Chi killed and refused to let the people wearing Khitan military uniforms appear in the bar, the Khitans could only collect intelligence through civilian channels.

The money given by the Shuozhou Army is a large amount, so this eccentricity should be regarded as the sphere of influence of the Shuozhou Army.

He Daxian threw a thousand cavalry to arrive, and a large number of people and horses crowded the valley, and people shouted that the horses were neighing, and the stench was stinking, so not majestic.

I haven't seen the cross-headed people of the army crossing for a long time, and finally a little square, Master Wei Chi personally rushed out to greet the new Zhenwu army, greeted He Daxian warmly, and said some nonsense such as please enter the Qizi to rest, prepare thin wine, and strengthen the general's itinerary.

The eldest prince of Wei Chi, who was wearing the uniform of the Shuozhou army, also ran down from the city pass.

"In the lower Shuozhou Army, the captain of the head battalion of the Biaotou Battalion, Chi Hongyi, may I ask General Zhao that this trip is to be the enemy of the Shuozhou Army?"

"Exactly."

"Then does the general need us to surrender directly to the city pass, or do we need to attack it, and by the way, pick up some heads and go back to pay the account? There are many heads supplied in this place, the Khitan Tufan people have it, and the Han people also have it, and the characteristics are obvious, lifelike, and there is no flower fake. ”

To do a warlord business, it is natural to be proficient in the psychology of warlords.

On the surface, the people in this paradox are kind and do business fairly and openly, but behind the scenes, they often pretend to be horse thieves, scurrying around, crossing the border, attacking Khitan herdsmen and Tibetan herdsmen grazing on the grasslands, and collecting the heads of many people of different nationalities to meet the different needs of different customers.

"You don't need heads, you just need us to sneak attack you and rob the city pass."

"Yes, I see. By the way, General Zhao, after all, Shuozhou gave the money to Jianguan, so can we escape the three or five cavalry and go to Shuozhou to report the case? ”

"Yes, run away. Well, those who fled, picked one to stick an arrow in their back, and another to cut off their arms, indicating that they were wounded in a heroic battle. ”

"Well, it's no problem to insert this arrow and that, but you need to add some money, not much, twenty copper plates. It's just the one who cut off the arm, I'm afraid."

"The money is gone, and our budget is tight. If you are too embarrassed, go back and defend the city, and we will fight with real guns. ”

"What kind of thing is this?" the eldest young master of the Wei Chi family, who was dressed in a Shuozhou military uniform, was so anxious that he was about to cry.

Please, everyone comes out to eat and act, who dares to fight with you thousands of noisy Zhenwu cavalry!

Or is it his father, Wei Chi, and the old man simply.

"It doesn't matter, there are already a few broken arms in the coffin, what are you afraid of if you cut it shorter. As for the arrow, this is provided for free, too! We can provide two arrows for free. General Zhao might as well let the soldiers rest in the barn for half an hour, and the children will take care of everything. Ben Qizi just came to more than 20 Wugu girls the day before yesterday, I wonder if the general or the general's subordinates are interested? ”

"Before the war, sergeants were not allowed to get close to women. Less nonsense, get it done quickly, and in a stick of incense time, our army will break through and march! Also, the kid who wore the uniform of the Dingyan Army, and the old man who received the money from the Khitans, must not leave the temple before sunrise tomorrow, otherwise I will turn around and destroy your deviant head! ”

"That's natural, General Zhao rest assured, those two must be sick, and they won't leave for three days."

drove away Master Wei Chi, taking advantage of the gap when the army was resting for a while, He Daxian pinched his fingers and knew that Chen Tian had completed the first battle, but how did he meet the big sycophant Li Zhuanmei? Also detained Li Zhuanmei to defend the city?

How can that work! There are still a few Khitans in the valley, what is it if you only kill 500 people! Xianzhou hasn't recovered yet!

Of course, a small city like Xianzhou was originally unsightly for He Daxian, but after the Khitans broke the city this time, they killed thousands of people, and there were still 4,000 strong people left, including more than 3,000 young women and hundreds of children.

The most important thing is that there were two wealthy families in Xianzhou City, and tens of thousands of taels of silver were buried in the ground silently, which had been discovered and dug up by the Khitan army.

What a line!

O strong man, O silver! O woman! Boy! These are the flesh of He Daxian's heart, where can the Khitan people take them!

While the Khitans haven't shipped it away, hurry up and grab it!

But Nima, you are greedy for life and afraid of death, Li Zhuanmei, detain Chen Tian and do a good job!

He Daxian got angry, casually pointed to a communication soldier, and issued an order to Chen Tian: "Take Xianzhou immediately, transport away all the population and wealth, and in addition, have time to destroy the other 1,000 Khitan cavalry who came back from Shizhou!" ”

After receiving the order, Pegasus ran to Zhenwu New Town.

However, according to the process of communication in the army, this communication soldier would not go directly to Lanzhou, he only needed to go to Zhenwu New Town, and the local person in charge, Zhao Sang, would send another herald to forward the order.

In recent years, everyone in this new Zhenwu army was illiterate, and the military orders were all verbal.

I don't know if it's because this herald is a stuttering ghost and can't speak clearly, or if Zhao Sang deliberately can't hear clearly, in short, after Zhao Sang received the order, he immediately gathered two hundred heavy cavalry of the Zhao family army with the surname Zhao, and announced loudly:

"General Zhao has given an order, let's go and recover Xianzhou, and by the way, kill another thousand Khitan cavalry who invaded Shizhou!"

At the sound of the order, the two hundred heavy cavalry members of the Zhao family's army, who had long been unable to hold back the excitement of going to war, rumbled out of the brigade, and they didn't even have time to eat lunch, so they ran out of the south in a swarm.

Zhao Sang passed through Lanzhou at two o'clock in the afternoon, took Chen Tian with him, and arrived in Xianzhou at about three o'clock.

At the same time, a thousand light cavalry led by He Daxian himself passed through the winding valley and appeared at the foot of the mountain north of Shuozhou.

At the same time, An Chongrong personally led 10,000 Shuozhou troops through Yangfangkou, of which 2,000 had already entered the valley and arrived near Shenchi Pass.

Three different battlefields, three major battles that will determine the fate of the new Zhenwu Army, are about to break out!
