Chapter 24 Yaodong Civil Strife

After several years of not making any progress in the war, Fan Guyi of Jiangnan temporarily slowed down his attack on the Yaodong people and recuperated for several years. After there was no pressure in the south, Ding Zhuqing put the main direction of attack on Shifeng City.

When Ding Zhuqing tried to wipe out the high-level of the four gangs in the Fox Immortal Temple, Ding Zhuhuang was leading a large number of troops to confront the iron-blooded army led by Bai Zheng.

When the news of the incident came, Ding Zhuhuang's heart was very shocked, because the Dejia Guard was located in the middle of Yaodong and had been surrounded by four gangs. Although Dejia City is guarded by well-equipped and well-trained tigers and leopards, the tigers are invincible to the wolves, and in the face of the retaliation of the four gangs, it is probably difficult to stand alone.

"The eldest brother is really anxious this time, and he has to find a way to divide the four of them, and then break them all. Now that the matter does not work, it will inevitably be besieged by the four families, and everything will be over if you are not careful. But now there is no way but to bite the bullet. Captain Feng, you take your people across the Heishui River and go to Dejia City to support Big Brother, you must be careful if the people of the Luofeng Society are not good at dealing with you. I took the rest of the people south to Xu Huai and threatened the rear of the Qing Gang and the Tang Sect, if they dared to attack Dejia City at all costs, I would cross the Siqing Sea and attack their rear directly. Ding Zhuhuang immediately ordered after receiving the news.

"Those four gangs are not small, I'm afraid we can't defeat them completely. Now that the rear is unstable, I am afraid that we will not be able to use troops externally in the future. Feng Zhuyuan said.

"We can rely on a stable rear to use our troops externally, and even if we can defeat those four gangs, I'm afraid we will be greatly damaged. What's more, those four gangs are deeply rooted in Yaodong, and whether we can defeat them or not is still a matter of two words. To deal with their incapable enemies, we must take advantage of the contradictions between them to divide and disintegrate them. Hey, in the past, they were obedient to us, at least on the surface, and they were able to take advantage of their conflicts, but now it's very difficult. Ding Zhuhuang said.

"Yaodong is indeed different, but our Kanbei Wind Regiment will always support the two adults, no matter what the final result is, I and our Wind Regiment will advance and retreat together with the two adults." The wind is far away, and I swear.

"Without further ado, let's go our separate ways. The Luofeng Society in the north will be handed over to the head of the wind group, as long as he can get through this difficulty, the head of the wind group must be the first hero of my Yaodong. Ding Zhuhuang said.

"Thank you Deacon Ding for your promotion, but the hero does not dare to claim himself, I only ask for peace of mind. Our Breez Regiment belonged to the two Ding Lords, and we were not met with any suspicion, but were so reused. I am not the kind of person who has no conscience, I just hope that I can be a loyal person in this life. It's not too late to make amends, and I hope this sentence is right. Feng Zhuyuan said with a look of shame on his face.

Ding Zhuhuang could see that Feng Zhuyuan's words were from the bottom of his heart, and he understood that there was also a reliable helper in this crisis.

After Feng Zhuyuan and Ding Zhuqing separated, he led the army of Guanbei to march in the direction of the Heishui River, and when he passed through Guiwucheng, he especially gathered the high-level of the Wind Regiment together, and admonished:

"Now that it's an eventful time, Yaodong is already in chaos, and the Iron Blood Army may take the opportunity to attack it. I just warn you, we have already betrayed once, and if we betray again this time, we will really become unkind villains. The first betrayal can be said to be forced by the situation, and if he really becomes a slave of the three surnames, the foundation of the Windrush will be destroyed. This time, no matter what, we must advance and retreat with the Ding family brothers, and anyone who dares to rebel will be killed regardless of their status. ”

After saying this, Feng Zhuyuan arranged for the deputy regiment commanders who had held him hostage and betrayed Wei Zeng to some small towns on the border; and sent cronies to control the military and political positions in Kanbei to guard against any possible rebellion. Then the wind drifted away and continued in the direction of the Blackwater River.

At this time, Bai Zheng was ordered to defend Shifeng City, while cooperating with Daodao to resist the attack of Yaodong's army, and waiting for an opportunity to eliminate Gu Chayi who was entrenched in Yushan. It's just that the Yaodong army is strong, and Bai Zheng doesn't dare to fight with them; Gu Chayi was in the deep mountains again, and thousands of horse teams came and went without a trace, and Bai Zheng did not find a chance to fight Gu Chayi.

Bai Zheng came to Shifeng City to discuss with Wendao, and felt that the two tasks given by Xian Gu could not be completed at all, so he decided to stick to it and focus on defense.

It's just that during the confrontation, Yaodong's army suddenly retreated, and Bai Zheng didn't send someone to pursue him for fear of fraud. Soon after, news of the civil unrest in Yaodong came, and Bai Zheng thought that this was a good time to attack, and immediately ordered his soldiers to retake the land in other parts of Yanbei. Then he wanted to design to lure out Gu Chayi's horse team and destroy it.

"It is very easy to recover the lost territory in Yanbei, the Yaodong people are now too busy to take care of themselves, and we will not encounter much resistance when we send troops. However, Gu Chayi's horse team, there is no trace to be found, once he detects it, it will run away without a trace in the blink of an eye, and it is difficult to annihilate Gu Chayi. Asked, listening to Bai Zheng's plan, he said.

"In the past few years, Gu Chayi has often attacked our grain transportation teams while we are at war with the Yaodong people. It's just that because the Yaodong army is pressing, we can't do anything about it. Now that the Yaodong people have withdrawn, it is better to send a team to transport grain, and release the wind to lure Gu Chayi to attack, we just take this opportunity to wipe out Gu Chayi and his accomplices. I wonder if Mr. Ask can agree? Bai Zheng said.

"It is also my wish to be able to completely wipe out Gu Chayi. Wei Zeng is not dead, there are still thousands of rebels in Yushan, and now it is an eventful time, it is inevitable that they will not make a comeback. I don't know anything about fighting with soldiers, General Bai is a veteran of the battlefield, and the strategy he came up with is also feasible. Without further ado, let's do what General Bai has arranged. After thinking about it for a while, he felt that even if he couldn't succeed, he wouldn't suffer any harm, so he nodded and agreed to Bai Zheng's suggestion.

So when the Iron and Blood Army, under Bai Zheng's order, recovered the lost territory of Yanbei, they also began to design a big trap for Gu Chayi.

In a stockade deep in Yushan, Gu Chayi and the veterans of the Yanbei Righteous Army discussed their future plans.

Yushan is not as good as Yishan, located at the junction of Yanbei and Guanbei, and the iron-blooded army and the Yaodong army often come and go, so that Gu Chayi's heart has always been bearable. It was impossible to quiet down and develop production, and with many families of the soldiers of the Righteous Army to support, Gu Chayi could only take the risk of solving the supply problem by attacking the grain transportation teams of the Iron Blood Army and the Yaodong Army.

It's just that this day or two days is okay, and after going on for so many years, Gu Chayi's pressure is getting bigger and bigger. His father died at the hands of robbers, whom he himself hated so much that he would not attack caravans and passers-by. But the army's grain transport team, how can it be so easy to get hold for a long time, although there are thousands of cavalry, there are also flat terrain, but they have been doing such a thrilling thing, and everyone can't stand it for a long time.

"Commander Gu, our food stock is insufficient, it can only last half a month at most, we must find a way to get food." Huang Yufei said.

"Didn't you just bring back a few truckloads of food the other day? It's gone so soon, you can't just sit back and eat like this, find some arable land in the mountains and grow something, and you must be self-sufficient. Gu Cha said one by one.

"We have thousands of soldiers here, as well as their families, and the population is more than 10,000, which is really difficult to support. At first, we had no intention of settling in Yushan for a long time, so we waited for General Wei to arrive and take us back to Yanbei. But who would have thought that General Wei would be disheartened and had no intention of fighting again. The robbers in the mountains, and the army outside the mountains, have not let us settle down for a moment, and it is not easy to live quietly in this deep mountain. Huang Yufei replied.

"That's right, it's not a way to go on like this, and I don't know what happened to Wei Zeng? If you send someone to Yishan in a few days to take a look, maybe after so many years, Wei Zeng's mind has changed, and maybe it is not enough. Gu Cha replied.

The last general was willing to go to Yishan in person and tell General Wei about the current situation of the Yanbei soldiers and the struggle of the people in Yanbei. General Wei has always loved the officers and soldiers of the army and the people of Yanbei, and when he knew the current situation in Yanbei, he would definitely not bear to ignore it. I will surely convince him to lead us back to the glory of that day. Huang Yufei said.

"Okay, in a few days, you can take a few people to Yishan. I haven't seen him for a few years, and I'm wondering how he's doing. However, let's solve the food problem in the village first. Is there any news from anyone who went out to investigate? Gu Chayi agreed to Huang Yufei, and then turned to the others and asked.

"According to the report of the spies sent out, a grain transport team of the Iron and Blood Army has appeared a hundred miles southwest of the country, and there are not many people guarding it, so we should be able to succeed in our attack." Zhao Jiahui replied.

"Then let's attack, and get the food back no matter what. Zhao Zhuangshi, you lead the way in front, let's go. As soon as Gu Cha heard the news of the grain transportation team, his spirit was shocked, and he immediately gathered his men and horses and rushed to the direction of the iron-blooded army's food transportation team.

At the beginning of summer, the Mobei grassland and the Yanbei Plain were all verdant, but in this verdant, people on horseback turned a blind eye to all the beauty. Gu Chayi watched his surroundings even more cautiously, beware of enemies that would suddenly appear.

Approaching the place where the grain convoy was carried out, Gu Chayi asked everyone to stop advancing and sent a few people to reconnoiter around to see if it was safe ahead. When he learned that there were no more enemies around him besides this grain caravan, Gucha led a large army and hurried away.

Thousands of cavalry galloped across the northern wilderness, and when they approached the grain caravan, they divided into two teams to surround the grain caravan.

"Obediently hand over the food, I can spare your life, if you dare to resist, I will immediately have someone shoot you into a sieve." Gu Cha shouted as he walked up to the grain caravan.

"If you want food, you can take it yourself, I'm afraid you won't come here at all. Brothers, set up! A voice came from the grain caravan, and immediately all the wagons were overturned, and everyone hid behind the wagons, forming a circle to block the onslaught of Gu Chayi.

"I can't do it!" Gucha chuckled lightly, raised his hand, and ordered the horse team to fire a salvo.

Gu Chayi brought a large number of people, and they were all on horseback, although the soldiers of the grain transport team fought desperately, but it was difficult to avoid defeat after all.

But just as Gucha was about to give the order for the final charge, a man rode his horse and hurried towards the area.

"Isn't that Xu Diaoling? What is this traitor doing here? Gu Cha waved his hand one by one and gave the order to attack, and then led a few people to meet him.

"Xu Diaoling, what are you doing here? General Wei treated you well back then, but you actually betrayed the general and took refuge in the Iron and Blood Army, which is really unusual. Huang Yufei stepped forward and scolded, and the steel whip in his hand was also raised as he spoke, and he was about to hit it.

"Slow down and see what else he has to say." Gu Chayi stopped Huang Yufei and said.

"It's not good for the Gu commander, this time it's a trap laid by the iron-blooded army, just to use this grain team to lure the Gu commander out." Xu Diaoling hurriedly said.

"Nonsense, I've found out all around here, and there is not a single enemy. You say it's a trap, but where are the ambushers? "Gucha Yi did not believe.

"The Yaodong people have retreated, and the iron-blooded army has freed up their hands to lay out a big situation, there is no enemy here, but the way back to Yushan has been blocked by the enemy. Even the east of the river, where I am located, is fortified everywhere, just to guard against the ancient commander you. How else would I have known about this plan? Xu Diaoling replied.

"You mean, my way back has been blocked by the Predators, how is this possible?" As soon as Gu Cha heard Xu Diaoling's words, he couldn't believe it.

"It's true, they're just here to take advantage of your victory, to attack when you're defenseless, so that you can be caught off guard. Nowadays, only one road to Mobei is safe. Xu Diaoling said.

"If that's the case, it's troublesome, without the containment of the Yaodong army, it's much easier for the Iron and Blood Army to do anything. It's possible that what you're talking about, so it's better to be careful. Tell the brothers, load the grain on the horse, and we will make a detour to Mobei and return to Yishan. Gu Chayi was also suspicious in his heart, and decided to be cautious in the spirit of believing that he would rather believe what he had than what he didn't have.

Bai Zheng personally led the men and horses, waiting on the way through which Gu Cha returned to Yi Mountain, ready to give Gu Cha a fatal blow.

Bai Zheng took great pains to eliminate Gu Chayi, and on the one hand, he let the people who transported the grain stick to it, so as to confuse Gu Chayi; On the other hand, the troops of the entire Hedong and Yanbei were mobilized, preparing to completely wipe out Gu Chayi.

But when the news came that Gu Chayi's horse team was heading north to Mobei, Bai Zheng already knew that the news of the ambush had leaked. The chase was no longer able to catch up, and he lost his wife and broke his soldiers, and Bai Zheng was also resentful in his heart.

"Tricks aren't what I'm good at, so don't do any more intrigues. After recovering the entire territory of Yanbei, I personally led my troops to level Yushan. (To be continued.) )
