The school field is not far from Ulzhou City, the Guanning cavalry only took an hour to reach the city of Ulzhou, although the Yongan army is an infantry army, it does not take long, at this time Xiao Yi and several people rode horses in the front. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Xiao Yi's side is Huang Yang, Shi Lu, Wang Dayong and Liu Tong, several of them have a feeling of being separated from the world at this time, thinking that they were still a forcibly arrested man half a year ago.

Now that Li You is dead, and he and others live in hundreds of households and lead the team, this time he actually led people out to suppress bandits, and the change is so big.

Xiao Yi smiled at Wang Dayong at this time and said: "Dayong, bring Lixiu when the bandits come back this time, I will be a matchmaker for you, you are not too young, it's time to marry Lixiu." ”

Shi Gang shouted, "Yes, if I had brought Lixiu a long time ago." ”

Wang Dayong did not shirk this time, his eyes were full of perseverance, and said: "Follow Brother Xiao to have my Wang Dayong today, if I can return victoriously this time, I will definitely go to Zhuangzi to pick up Lixiu in person!" ”

Xiao Yi nodded with a smile and said, "I also want to bring Brother Liu here, our brothers haven't seen each other for more than half a year." ”

Suddenly, he sighed and said, "I don't know how Brother Liu is doing, whether Zhuangzi has been discovered by Tartars." ”

A few people nodded and sighed.

Looking ahead, Cao Wenzhao's banner had already appeared, and a camp directly below the banner was like a beast, prostrate there, and all his eyes could see was a black banner and soldiers in black armor.

Xiao Yi hurriedly whipped up the order, and the soldiers behind him all trotted to follow, launching a clanging sound of nails and leaves intersecting.

From afar, the Guanning army has found such a different officer army, they have a lot of discussions, the Guanning army is also respected by the strong, that day the soldiers of the Yongan Army have fully proved that they are not those miscellaneous fish officers and soldiers.

Looking at this army with bright armor and fine armor and bright helmets, the number is not large, only more than 600 people, but from a distance, it looks like a formation of thousands of people, which makes people not doubt their combat effectiveness at all.

Cao Wenzhao and Cao Wenyao were discussing with the general Guan Ning general in the official tent, and after hearing the news, he laughed loudly: "Say Xiao Yi and he will arrive, go!" ”

Xiao Yixing went to the outside of the camp and looked at this huge camp, and before he arrived, the cavalry sent out by Cao Wenzhao came to ask and guide them, which also explained Cao Wenzhao's words.

In front of the camp, Xiao Yi saw the soldiers of the Guanning Army patrolling around the wall, and suddenly the gate opened, and a line of people wearing iron armor who looked like generals walked out of the inside.

"Hahaha, Brother Xiao, you're here!"

Xiao Yi stepped forward to give Cao Wenzhao a bear hug, hugged his fists and said: "A small incident happened in the fort last night, but we can't delay the general's plan to suppress bandits, and I will immediately bring the three sentinels to come after a little treatment." ”

They exchanged pleasantries while walking into the camp, and Chi Deng also found Zhou Baotai, and the two punched each other and greeted each other.

When he arrived at the big tent, Cao Wenyao asked, "Brother Xiao said something small, can you tell me what it is?" ”

Cao Wenzhao and the others all cast their eyes on, obviously paying some attention to this.

Xiao Yi shook his head, sighed and said: "Last night, there was a tragedy, the priest and the warden were killed, I suspect that it was the remnants of the chaos last time, and I have ordered someone to arrest them, I believe there will be results." ”

Cao Wenzhao nodded, and said nonchalantly: "What kind of big deal should I be, the little warden and the priest will die when they die." ”

"Brother Xiao, there is no infantry camp in our army, so your subordinates will be in the center with the team."

A Guan Ning military general said with a smile: "Exactly, there are some men and miscellaneous soldiers in the center, and it is normal for you to go." ”

Xiao Yi looked over, he knew this person, Cao Wenzhao introduced him to him, his name was Jia Yang, and he was the general of Guan Ning's army.

He didn't hear the sarcasm in Jia Yang's words, he just nodded and said with a smile: "In this way, it is naturally the best, more generals!" ”

Subsequently, Xiao Yi discussed the details of the march with Cao Wenzhao, Cao Wenyao and others, saying that it was a negotiation, but in fact it was just a discussion between them, and Xiao Yi was listening, Xiao Yiren was soft-spoken, and I am afraid that no one would care about what he said.

……

At noon that day, the Guan Ning army drove out of the Ulzhou territory and rushed to Lingqiu, and it was already night when they arrived at Lingqiu City.

Due to the delay for some time before, Cao Wenzhao did not repair in Lingqiu, but marched non-stop, and the army rumbled past under Lingqiu City.

This voice alarmed the garrison of Lingqiu, and he hurriedly ran out of his mansion to climb the city wall, looking at the boss of the army passing under the city with his mouth open, and the local garrison army next to him was even more amazed.

The army went straight to the Pingxingling Pass out of the Lingqiu Territory, and as soon as it came out of the Pingxingling Pass, it was the Taiyuan Mansion Boundary, and there were several peasant armies in the Taiyuan Mansion Boundary at this time, and the largest of them was none other than Wang Zishun.

Finally, after running all night, I finally saw the Ming banner erected on the wall of Pingxingling Pass.

Pingxing Lingguan, Zhengde six years to build, and in Jiajing four years, Wanli nine years to rebuild, Pingxingling Pass north has Heng Mountain such as Ping Gaozhi, south has Wutai Mountain towering majestically, the altitude is more than 1,000 meters.

Between these two mountains, there is a trench-type lowland that is not very wide, and the Pingxingling Ridge, where the Pingxingguan is located, is the uplifted part of this belt-like lowland, so the situation is very dangerous.

Because Heng Mountain and Wutai Mountain are both fault-block mountains, very steep, and have become a huge traffic barrier in the north of Shanxi, this belt-like lowland has become the most convenient channel connecting with Shanxi in the north of the Hebei Plain.

An east-west ancient road passes through the Pingxingling Pass City, connects the Bauhinia Pass in the west of Beijing in the east, and connects the Yanmen Pass in the west, connects with each other, forms a strict defense line, is an important feudal screen in the west of Beijing, and the people of the time even have the saying that the land of Gyeonggi is safe in this way, so that the danger of this place can also be seen.

Pingxingling Guancheng Tiger is located at the southern foot of Pingxingling, is square-shaped, around more than 900 zhang, and a door is placed in the north, south and east.

At that time, Wang Han, the general of the Pingxingling Pass garrison, had 805 officers and soldiers in the Pingxingling Pass, but due to years of defection, there were less than 600 people.

The Yong'an Army was located in the center of the army, walking with some men and baggage soldiers, and the ridicule of the soldiers of the Guanning Army around them kept coming.

But Xiao Yi, Huang Yang and the others didn't say anything, and the soldiers of the Yong'an Army just followed the team with a straight face, with a steady and neat pace, and they were not affected in any way.

Xiao Yi looked at the tall and majestic city pass and sighed, which may have been commonplace for the ancients, but for Xiao Yi, it was still very spectacular.

The army marched to the north gate of Pingxingling Pass, only to see three vigorous and powerful characters engraved in front of the door.

Guan Shangyi was already frightened and uneasy when he saw such a formation, and he did not know where this was the army, and it was impossible for such a force to be among the officers and soldiers.

He shouted towards the city: "Where did the thief and prisoner army come from, you can know that this is the Daming Ping Punishment Ridge, leave quickly to avoid being surrounded and suppressed by the official army!" ”

A Guanning cavalryman rode out, holding a copper token in his hand, revealing arrogance in his every move, he shouted: "Presumptuous, the deputy commander of Yansui East Road is here, and he doesn't turn it on quickly!" ”

When the person closed the door, it turned out to be Guan Ningjun, no wonder, and hurriedly ran down the city gate to inform him.

It didn't take long for a sound to hear, and the heavy gate of Pingxingling Pass finally opened, and a person hurriedly trotted out.

I saw that this person was wearing an old iron armor, wearing a pair of standard iron helmets, and his anxious face was Wang Han, the garrison general here, who rushed out to greet him with a group of garrison officers and soldiers, and only a few family members behind him were still neat.

He apologized again and again: "I don't know that General Cao is here, and there is a lot of disrespect between the words of his subordinates, and I hope that he will not be punished." ”

Cao Wenzhao just frowned and nodded, and then entered the customs first, followed by Cao Wenyao and many Guan Ning generals, and the officers and soldiers in front hurriedly got out of the way, looking at this army in horror on both sides.

"Our army is here for a day, and we have prepared food, horses, and horses!" Cao Wenyao said casually.

But Wang Han was embarrassed, he hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "This... There is no food in the customs area, and there is no horse and horse material. ”

Cao Wenyao's eyes widened and he wanted to attack, but Cao Wenzhao stopped him, and Cao Wenzhao looked at the dilapidated scene in the pass and lost the mind to repair it.

These garrison officers and soldiers are not even complete in armor and equipment, and their weak appearance really makes people dare not think that they can have any combat effectiveness.

He waved his hand and just rode his horse towards the pass, and behind him, Wang Han wiped the fine sweat on his forehead and hurriedly followed.

Xiao Yi and the others followed into the pass and found a place to camp. (To be continued.) )
