Zhang Yue was a little surprised, nodded and didn't make a sound, but pulled He Ju to dodge into the shadows under the wall, he was very familiar with eavesdropping, but the Liao people spoke Khitan, and he couldn't understand a word. He Ju understood, and the expression on his face was very strange, sometimes happy, sometimes frightened.

"What are they talking about?" Zhang Yue couldn't understand the Khitan language spoken by the Liao people, and felt very bored, so he asked casually while carefully observing the surrounding situation so as not to be discovered.

"...... discussing the military situation," He Ju replied casually, and continued to listen attentively.

Zhang Yue nodded, smiled in encouragement, and simply stood aside to give him the wind. A moment later, He Ju quickly stepped forward and pulled him to run, Zhang Yue understood, and the two of them hid behind a big tree at the corner of the alley.

At this time, I saw that the gate of the courtyard was wide open, and four or five Liao officers came out of the courtyard with lanterns, muttering something all the way, and they were gone away after a while.

"What now? Shall we still go? He Ju saw that the people were walking away, and he gasped heavily, still a little uneasy, and asked carefully.

"Go! Why not go for it...... I'll talk about what you just heard...... It's not a safe place, and it's not good to be sneaky. ”

As soon as the two of them walked out of the alley, they saw a few soldiers coming out of the courtyard, looked at the door for a while, and then stood guard in front of the door. Zhang Yue asked He Ju and the soldiers to make it clear, and the soldiers took them in.

Again he saw them in the main hall, and after a few words of command from afar, he sent them away. Zhang Yue thought that there was something important to summon him at night, but as a result, he was going to have a supper, but he finally stopped eating dog meat and wanted to change his taste.

"This damn foodie! I have to eat and eat at night, which makes me work overtime, and when I am fattened, labor and management will cut him on both sides with an axe! Out of the compound, Zhang Yue scolded viciously.

"Hey...... Isn't it? He Ju couldn't help but be a little amused, and asked again: "Brother Zhang!" Guess what they just said? ”

"If you have a fart, let it go, if you have something to say......" Zhang Yue pouted angrily.

"I heard them say that He Fujin, the commander of the Chengde Army in Zhenzhou, led his troops south from Zhaozhou, and the troops were in the area of Jingcheng and Mingshui Town in Beizhou, which was more than 50 miles away from us, and the Long Jie army who came from Tokyo commanded Liu Congzhi also arrived in Beizhou, and was rushing to Jingcheng County, and he couldn't tell when the fight would start."

This is the right thing to do, not surprising...... Have you heard from them how many soldiers He Fujin brought? What is Golmoham's plan? Zhang Yue asked while pondering: Based on what he had known about coming to this era for more than a month, Long Jiejun commanded the envoys...... It should be an infantry army, at least 2,500 people, right? I don't know how the troops of He Fujin are?

"How many soldiers...... This seems to ask the Liao army sentry horseman! Gao Mohan didn't even figure it out, and the people under him were arguing again, some clamoring that they would go to Tokyo, and some said that they had robbed enough, and they wanted to retreat back to Mozhou, Gao Mohan didn't seem to have made up his mind......"

"Yes...... He Fujin's army has not yet appeared, and it is unlikely that Gao Mohan will retreat at this time, at least he will find out the comparison of enemy and enemy forces before making a decision......" Zhang Yue guessed.

Sure enough, early the next morning, I heard that Gao Mohan sent several troops, with 500 cavalry as a team, to go south separately to spy and search for the movements of the Zhou army. In the following two days, the cavalry returned one after another, bringing back not only many villagers, livestock and belongings, but also even more bad news.

The situation seemed to be somewhat unfavorable to the Liao army, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Zhang Yue was overjoyed in his heart, and had a premonition that there was hope of getting out, although he couldn't get out of the manor, he secretly paid attention to it, and found that the officers who had been in and out of Gao Mohan's residence had been more and more frequent recently, and he couldn't inquire in detail about what had happened, so he could only speculate comprehensively based on what he saw and the news he inquired about.

In the evening of that day, the stout steward of the house suddenly found Zhang Yue and the others, scolded fiercely and angrily, and said in a very unkind tone, and asked them to stay with the villagers who had been arrested.

Zhang Yue was very surprised, and his mind became active. It is estimated that this is not what Gao Mohan meant, if he doesn't want to go, he can also find a pro-soldier who brought him to the Ukrainian army, but this is also in the favor. Going to a prisoner camp meant more chances of escape.

The captured villagers lived in the Liao army camp outside the manor, and the housekeeper found a personal soldier to take them there, and it was estimated that the soldier couldn't understand what they were saying, so Zhang Yue asked He Ju: "What did the manager just say?" ”

"He said bad things about us, and said that the captured villagers set fire to the camp last night and tried to escape, but dozens of them were killed, and threatened us, saying that Gao Mohan was not worried about us and let us ......go," He Ju explained in a low voice.

"And this kind of thing, it seems that those villagers are still quite fleshy, but they are too stupid...... But what happens with me? Zhang Yue laughed.

"Huh? Brother Zhang, you ......" He Ju looked at the soldiers leading the way in front, but didn't dare to say the words in the back.

Zhang Yue made a gesture of silence and stopped talking, and several people walked out of the front gate of the manor in silence all the way, outside were the camps, and from time to time there were groups of Liao soldiers with torches, patrolling back and forth between the camps.

The soldiers quickly took them to the prisoner camp in the northeast corner of the camp's perimeter, negotiated with the officers guarding outside the camp, and then left on their own. The officer also seemed to be a Khitan, with a big black face, and small eyes full of contempt, and he glanced at Zhang Yue and the three of them a few times, and then waved his big hand and let them go in by themselves.

There were several bonfires burning in the open space in the middle of the camp, and the light was clear all around, and there were no tents around, and piles of people were sitting on the ground beside the fire with their clothes in their arms, or they simply picked up rags and lay on the ground, children cried and cried out for hunger, old people lamented and sighed, and young men lowered their heads and remained silent.

This mess, about five or six hundred people, the miserable appearance is unbearable to look at, Zhang Yue and He Ju were immediately dumbfounded, standing there and looking, not knowing where to stay.

"Isn't that the pony of the Fuyang Wine Shop? and Zhang Da...... You're in luck, too! At this time, a middle-aged man in the crowd stood up and greeted him with a somewhat self-deprecating wry smile.

"Yo...... Is it Li Dongzhu? Why are you here? He Ju laughed in surprise.

"You know?" Zhang Yue asked casually.

"Recognize! His name is Li Deliang, and he is a medicinal herb merchant in Hengshui County, and he often goes to Fuyang Wine Shop to eat, but he is also here for some reason. ”

"Hey! Sensei! The day before yesterday, I was in the countryside to buy medicinal herbs, and I drank a few more glasses at night and lived there, and I was arrested early the next morning. The medicinal herb merchant named Li Deliang said remorsefully.

"Don't worry, don't panic, there is no endless road, we have to think about the good......" Zhang Yue winked and smiled comfortingly.

"That's that...... This little brother is very good-looking, you were arrested together? ”

"My name is Zhang Yue, a native of Anyangli, Xindu County, didn't I encounter such a thing, everyone got together!"

"Isn't it? It's really blood mold, and my hundreds of catties of medicinal materials are gone, do you know? Li Deliang glanced around a few times, leaned over and whispered: "Chengde He Jieshuai is here with the troops, I saw their scouts fighting with the Liao army sentry cavalry this afternoon!" ”

"Oh? Did the scouts of the Cheng German army come outside this battalion? Are you sure you read that right? Zhang Yue asked in surprise.

"What's wrong, it's not wrong, anyway, it's my Great Zhou Army, they all saw ......it," Li Deliang said, pointing to the villagers next to him.

Zhang Yue was silent, and stroked his chin and pondered: The scouts of the Zhou army appeared outside this big camp, so will Gao Mohan fight or retreat tomorrow? It seems that whether I fight or retreat, it is very dangerous for me!

It's so passive...... In such troubled times, the day is precarious, and there must be soldiers in hand! There are soldiers, there are soldiers, there are soldiers!
