25. Dead City

As he wished, he was coerced into Tian Feng's family, and Deng Ji led the whole army westward.

In fact, Deng Ji himself didn't know what the use of leaving Tian Feng could be, it was just an outlaw mentality, thinking that even if he died unfortunately in this troubled world, it would be good to have a celebrity to accompany the funeral, anyway, he would not end well in the future with Yuan Shao.

This is a little dirty in his heart, but this is his truest heart, plus a little bit of the mentality of fans chasing stars in later generations, so

It is not better than the moth thieves who survive in the dead, who have always slept in the open air, for fear that the Tian Feng family with fine skin and tender meat will not be able to stand the pain of running around, and the best two ox carts with carriages are given to them, Deng Ji has observed for two days, and saw that although Tian Feng has a blue face, he does not resist when feeding him, and he should not have the heart to die, so he loosened the tie and let him stay with his family.

In terms of eating, the moth thieves usually fill their hunger with big households, but the Tian Feng family is no different from the big families who were captured before, if they don't eat, they will starve, and no matter how picky they eat, they can't resist hunger.

After two days in the Yellow Turban team, although Tian Feng was Xu Shu into Cao Ying, he didn't say a word, but after knowing that the old and weak remnants led by the young moth thief who called himself "Lei Gong" fled from the battlefield of Xiaquyang, he revealed an important news.

Qu Shuai died, Tian Feng originally wanted to see the jokes of these moth thieves, but what disappointed him was that, like Deng Ji, the other moth thieves didn't care too much about the news, and just cared about going west.

It's just a dead pass, what's the big deal?

There are many rivers that enter Julu from the direction of Zhao State, most of which flow into Guang Aze, and two of them are blocked on the road ahead, which makes the Yellow Turbans spend a lot of effort, but fortunately, they are all in danger.

After entering the Zhao Kingdom, Deng Ji and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief, no matter how powerful the heavy armor of the officers and troops under Guo Dian was, he was just a giant deer guard, unless he was hung over there, he would never dare to cross the border to chase.

The officers and soldiers of Zhao State are much easier to deal with, the west is the Taihang Mountains, it is said that because of the black mountain thieves, the current Zhao State Taishou did not dare to take office, and he still remains in Beijing, Taishou is so, don't expect the officers and soldiers to come out and try their best to suppress the thieves.

Two days after entering Zhao State, Cui Du came to resign, his injury has been healed for seven or eight points, Deng Ji had promised to let him leave, Tian Feng was satisfied, and he gave a horse to him with a letter, and let him go.

Panasonic was angry, Deng Ji began to select strong pawns, the big waves washed the sand, and there were many more than 100 strong players who survived the Quyang War, and Deng Ji picked more than 20 satisfactory ones.

In addition to these more than 100 strong, the wounded soldiers at the root of Yu Yi have gradually healed, Qu Shuai does not know where to escape, now he can only follow Deng Ji first, many of them are personally taught by the great sages and good brothers, there are more good hands, there are a few people to challenge every day, after becoming a leader, Deng Ji has more and more trivial matters, and he has to spend a lot of time for this every day.

After discussing with Che Huang and Han Qi, they were divided into four categories according to their characteristics: spear pawns, sword and shield pawns, force pawns, and bow pawns, and the nearly forty pawns selected before were discussed separately and set the selection rules for various pawns.

For example, the spearman, who can pierce the ruler-thick hardwood with a spear and the handle of the gun is not broken, the knife and shield pawn due to the scarcity of shields, only seek knife skills for the time being, and those who can neatly split the foot-thick logs can enter, etc., the four types of pawns have detailed standards, which are chosen by themselves, and then do not need Deng Ji to experience it himself, unless there are not in the four categories, Deng Ji will pick it himself.

In terms of command, the spearmen were led by Deng Ji himself, the sword and shield pawn Han Qi, the force pawn Che Xiao, and the archers were not under the control of Deng Ji for the time being.

The number of the four types of pawns is still the most gunmen, followed by the sword and shield, the third is the archer, and the least is the strong, so Deng Ji is still called the tun chief.

The number is small, the other two Deng Ji only want to give a long one, Che Huang Han Qi joined forces to resist, and had to be named the team leader, Han Qi was the team leader when he was in the fifth school of the Northern Army, and he was demoted to the captain after following Deng Ji, and now he is naturally satisfied with the promotion of two levels, and he gloated over Che Huang, the former military marquis of the Yellow Turban.

Chinese officials have always been able to only be promoted but not demoted, Deng Ji's actions are a bit casual, Shang Xi Che Huang is a rough character, and he has no intention of competing for power with Deng Ji at all, after all, the supreme commander of this yellow scarf is just a tun chief, and he doesn't care much about it.

The team was basically set, and the wounded soldiers were continuously replenished, and when the stretch of Taihang came into sight, there were already more than 60 soldiers under Deng Ji.

Although Montenegro is at the southern end of Taihang, Zhang Yan has already abandoned Montenegro and is more active in the north of Taihang, approaching Taihang, Deng Ji and Che Huang did not notice it, but Han Qi was uneasy in his heart, and after reminding him, Deng Ji thought so, so the whole army changed its itinerary and went south.

In the eyes of the Black Mountain thieves, Deng Ji and other heavy livestock can really be a lot, just like a young child walking down the street with a gold ingot in his arms, it is difficult for others to have other thoughts.

The Montenegrin thieves robbed the good people's official mansion, and naturally they also robbed the moth thieves, if they were not careful, they didn't know how they died.

Eight hundred miles of Taihang east of Jizhou, west of the state, north to Youzhou, south to Sili, the North China Plain and the Shanxi Plateau are separated by it, there are car millet guidance, carefully avoid several black mountain thieves forces, along the mountain side to the south more than ten days later, there is no large force of Montenegro, this is into the mountain, in a canyon, scouts report, there is a county in front, the river passes by the city, blocked on the road.

Arrived in the mountains, Che Huang and other Jizhou people did not know the path geography, I don't know where the county town in the mountains is, all the way, as long as you find the city Deng Ji let the careful avoidance, is about to turn the whole army to leave, scouts and report, the county city gate is open, the city gate and city wall are not seen.

Deng Ji Daqi personally led Che Huang and Han Qi to look outside the city, and if it was so, not only could no one be seen outside, but from the open city gate, there was no trace of people on both sides of the road inside, and the road was full of mud and artemisia grass, which had been abandoned for a while.

The county is in Taihang, it is estimated that it was robbed by the murderous thief army, Deng Jigang wanted to send two people in to see what was going on, Che Huang patted his head: "Suffer, let's go to Wei County again, this is the Marquis Country!" ”

Walking around and walking back to Wei County, Deng Ji and the others looked at him curiously, Che Huang smiled bitterly: "In the middle of last year, there was a Black Mountain bandit army that fled from Gushan to the north, it is said that there was a plague in the city of Shehou Kingdom, and the dead were ten likely, and it was spread to the surrounding areas, for fear that they would carry the plague, the general of the Ping Trouble Zhongxuan had ordered all the departments not to associate with them!" ”

"The plague?"

Deng Ji and the others were terrified, in this era, the power of the plague was known to everyone, and it was not uncommon for people to die in the city.

"Here...... Is this just around the corner from Drum Mountain? ”

Deng Ji exclaimed, if this is the case, these people should be far away, Che Huang pointed to a path in the mountains to the east, his face was solemn: "It should be, I didn't know before, look at the road, it should lead to Fukou, that is one of the eight Taihang Mountains, this is what I thought!" ”

The geography of the past and present lives is unknown, Deng Ji asked curiously: "Taihang Bacheng?" ”

"Well, the place where the mountain is interrupted is called 陉, Taihang Mountain Bailing, among which there are eight mountains connecting things and things, all of them are throat roads, the most famous, Fukou is one of them, the government was still stationed here before, and then it was taken by the Black Mountain thieves, and last year it was plagued, and the Black Mountain thieves also abandoned it."

Han Qi said: "Involving the Hou Kingdom? This is the fief of Liu Juan, the prince of the Communist Party? ”

Che Huang shook his head and grinned: "I only know that there is a marquis country here, but I don't know the fiefdom of the birdman!" ”

Looking at the city in front of you again, except for the frolicking of birds in the sky, not to mention the human figures, there is even the slightest sound, there is silence, it is estimated that even if the people inside are not dead, they should flee.

At close range, Deng Ji once again felt the horror of the plague of this era, the city in front of him was a dead city, a plague land, and Deng Ji did not dare to send people into it again.

"Shall we continue south, then?"

Che Huang rolled his eyes and said: "Further south is Hanoi County, where the government is powerful, but it's your business to make up your mind, you can go if you say it!" ”

Deng Ji smiled embarrassedly, Si Li is a big man, so he went to Hanoi with this manpower, there was no black mountain thief behind him, and he was bound to die so that there was no scum left, he pondered for a while and asked: "After a year, do you say that there is still a plague near this Drum Mountain?" ”

"Drum Mountain?"

Han Qi immediately understood what he meant, and frowned, "You want to set up camp here?" ”

"That's right," Che Huang also clapped his hands, "There is a plague notoriety that determines, whether it is an officer or a black mountain thief, no one will come to trouble in a short time!" ”

"I've been thinking about it these days," Deng Ji nodded, and said: "We old and weak can't support ourselves with this bit of strength, only by relying on them to help, it is impossible for the old and weak to rush and kill in front of the formation, and it is no problem to open up wasteland and farm!" ”

Han Qi was puzzled: "You mean, in this kind of place?" ”

"Aside from here, where will the government allow us to farm well to support ourselves?"

"Good is good, this plague ......"

is hesitating, scouts report, there is a horse team of more than ten people approaching in the east, Deng Jirang intercepted it and asked, but it is a caravan from Qingzhou camel salt to Bingzhou, and there is a saltwater lake in the state, producing pond salt, but unfortunately the officials have been exploited badly in recent years, and the Huns have been constantly harassed, and the output has dropped significantly, so they have to give Qingzhou sea salt, and Taihang Black Mountain thieves block traffic, the price of salt naturally rises, and the merchants make profits, or pay tolls to Zhang Yan, or go to Hanoi, there are no thieves in Fukou, but there are also small caravans that have begun to venture from here last winter, They are one of them.

Everyone was overjoyed, there were merchants who crossed the border unharmed, the epidemic situation here must have improved, as long as you don't enter the city, there will be no big problem, you can stay.

There was not much salt left in the team, since it was decided to stay here, robbing the merchants was to kill chickens and take eggs, but fortunately, there was still a lot of five baht money that Shan Gen had obtained before, and Deng Ji bought these salt at the state price and let the caravan go back.
