Because there are rich and poor, the degree of famine is different, the Montenegrin tribes that went out to attack and plunder did not join forces together, most of them are fighting separately with the officers and soldiers of Jizhou, the officers and soldiers and the big families in the city have long been prepared, for a time the Black Mountain thieves in Jizhou are actually more than the winners and the less, in June, Zhang Ping is difficult to lead 20,000 strong people to conquer Hanchang County, Zhongshan State, Julu County heavy armor cavalry suddenly crossed the border to help the war, the new Zhongshan Prime Minister also attacked with the county soldiers, two attacks, Zhang Yan actually suffered a big defeat, more than half of the damage, had to retreat to the Hutuo River to reorganize the team.

Zhang Yan suffered a defeat, and was furious for a while, thinking that the rabble would be difficult to defeat the elite after all, although Guo Dian had been transferred, the national soldiers of Zhongshan County did not have to worry, but the elite officers and soldiers of Julu were in the end a scourge, so they summoned the elite of the thieves and wanted to annihilate them in one fell swoop.

For this reason, when the text came, Deng Pimple left a profound image on Zhang Yan because of the previous battle against the elite under his command, and he was also invited, and the two sides have not yet reached the point of releasing their previous suspicions, and the young man who still has to rely on people does not dare to offend the head of the big thief again, and he can't do it for a while, so he has to say goodbye to Wu Miao and the pregnant Jiao Ji, and entrust everything in the valley to Wu Gong and Changde, and lead 100 brave soldiers and 300 auxiliary soldiers to the north.

Huangfu Song's elite heavy armored cavalry left in Julu, if he can save his wounded prisoners after the war, it will be a great supplement to his own brave soldiers, so when he set out on the expedition, in addition to Tai Shici, Che Xiao, Han Qi, etc., Deng Ji also took Li Dangzhi with him.

Li Dangzhi, a little famous doctor, could barely ride a horse, but he thought about transporting the wounded soldiers back later, and Deng Ji still set twenty carriages in the valley to follow, just in time to load the baggage when he went.

Everything was arranged, more than 400 horsemen, and 20 carriages set off for the Hutuo River.

Over the past few years, it has been frequently attacked and plundered by Montenegrin thieves, and the cities adjacent to Jizhou and still in the hands of the official army are all closed with city gates, all of which are in a posture of strict defense, and they will not come out easily, and the Montenegrin banner can pass unhindered among the thieves in all departments, and Deng Ji and others have traveled all the way north, and no one has come to harass.

On the way, when he arrived near the middle hill of Zhao Guo, he reported as a scout's laziness and found that there were still thousands of Black Mountain troops besieging the city under the county seat, but I don't know which one.

Deng Ji remembered that he had to hear that Liu Shibu had come to attack Zhongqiu a month ago, and he had already returned, and the city would no longer be Liu Shi, but he didn't know what department had changed, so he was curious, so he led his troops over to find out.

When the Black Mountain Banner approached, some minions had already come to ask, and the two reported to each other, but it was the Zhenggu Department here, saying that he wanted to avenge Liu Shi and had besieged the city for more than ten days.

Knowing that Deng Ji was coming, Su Gu was a delicate man with all sides, and he had always been pleasant, so he hurriedly sent someone to take him into the Chinese military tent, Deng Ji led Tai Shici and Che Xiao into the account, and the two Qu Marshals sat down and talked to each other.

The Gu Department is not known for its elite, and it is not allowed to be summoned this time, and when it is learned that Deng Ji is rushing to the north to help Zhang Pingnan, he is envious for a while.

Deng Ji also asked, although the city is small, but there is a moat, and the wealthy families in the city help each other, and also defended tightly. If the siege is not broken for a few days, I am afraid that it will be temporarily withdrawn due to lack of food and grass.

Deng Ji sighed with him, but Zhang Ping was difficult to call, but he didn't dare to stay to help, so he rested in the Zhenggu army for a long time and said goodbye to him.

There was nothing else to do, and when he arrived at the Hutuo River, Deng Ji entered the account and saw Zhang Yan, and when he said goodbye, he had been patted on the back, and he turned his head hurriedly, but Tian Mazi who had not been seen for two years was standing behind him.

"Captain Tian!" It is indeed gratifying to meet the old people in this troubled era, Deng Ji hurriedly smiled: "But I haven't seen you for a long time!" ”

Tian Mazi is now much older than in his memory, and he is still energetic at this time, and the grains of pockmarks on his face are shining, and he patted Deng Ji on the shoulder excitedly and said: "Haha, I haven't seen you for two years, your kid has become a handsome!" And it's also famous, who doesn't know you Deng Pimple now? ”

Deng Ji hurriedly smirked and humbly: "The kid is just a coincidence, just a coincidence!" ”

Tian Mazi didn't think so, put on a look of my merit, hugged him and said, "Where? At the beginning, Lao Tzu saw that you kid was a capable person! Otherwise, can you become a tun chief at such a young age? ”

After speaking, he said: "There are still old people in the Yugen army, boy, why don't you go and see it together?" ”

Only then did he know that Yu Gen had also been invited, but he didn't know what other acquaintances were there, Deng Ji couldn't help but be curious, so he asked Tian Mazi to accompany him, and first went back to let Tai Shici and Han Qi lead people to set up camp tents, and his own family led Che Huang to meet him with him.

Among the peers, when Tian Mazi said goodbye to the aftermath, Deng Ji knew that they fled all the way to the northwest that day, and rode heavily against the officers and soldiers with foot soldiers, so they could only fight and flee, and never got rid of the pursuers.

And Deng Ji's direct boss at the beginning, Tian Mazi's nephew Tianxiao Kan Junhou, was also killed by officers and soldiers in the battle, and human life was like a dog in troubled times.

When he arrived in his camp, he first went to visit Yu Yigen, and then Che Huang went to talk to his old acquaintances, and Deng Ji was pulled by Tian Mazi to see Pang Shuangji.

Che Huang, the former fierce general, followed Deng Pimple, saying that Yu Jigen was not distressed was false, but now that the wood has become a boat, although Deng Ji's grade is small, his fame is no longer under him, and Yu Jigen can't either.

Pang Shuangji is actually not familiar with Deng Ji, but he knew that Tian Mazi's department had a young and old thief named Pimple as the head of the tun, life and death are ordinary days, and it is even more inconspicuous to change a few tun chiefs, and I didn't pay much attention to it during several military discussions, but now that people are developed, their fame and strength are much greater than their own, and they may have something to rely on in the future, so they have to make friends.

There are common experiences with each other, and the conversation between the two is quite harmonious, but after the death of Qiang, all the departments are merged under the command of Qiang, Tian Mazi and Pang Shuangji are still only captains, and the departments are all ordinary and strong people who are not strong in combat, and they have no status at all compared with the elite of Yu Gengen's lineage.

This is someone else's family matter, Deng Ji is not good at interjecting, he only asked a few old acquaintances, most of the people he knew at the beginning were in Xu Dumutun, and there were not many in other departments, and now there is no one left after the catastrophe.

Hearing such a result, Deng Ji was naturally melancholy, lost interest for a while, and reluctantly chatted with the two for a while, and said goodbye.

Unexpectedly, at night, Tian Mazi came to visit again, and it took a while for a while before he revealed his meaning, he wanted to lead hundreds of people under his command to vote for Deng Ji.

Tian Pang's two lieutenants were severely neglected under the command of Tian Pang, and they were already born to go out, Tian Mazi had no ambitions and did not have much knowledge, and when he heard that Deng Ji was in power, he relied on his old acquaintance to come and take refuge, and Pang Shuangji intended to go alone.

The two had different opinions, Tian Mazi couldn't convince Pang Shuangji, and he didn't want to go out with him to work hard, so he came to find it alone at night.

After understanding what Tian Mazi meant, Deng Ji thought about it for a long time, and said seriously: "It's not that the kid doesn't know how to lift, it's just that there are some obstacles and difficulties, and I want to say that I know with the captain!" ”

Tian Mazi's face suddenly looked difficult, Deng Ji couldn't care about it, and said solemnly: "The captain may not know, there are not many soldiers in my department, the more than 400 people brought this time are all of them, it is me, and now I am only called the tun chief, if I come to my place, I am afraid that even the captain will not be able to do it, it is better to be at the root!" ”

"Only these soldiers?" Tian Mazi naturally didn't believe it: "Then how did you rob this so much grain?" How to kill Lei Gong? How to resist Zhang Ping? ”

Deng Ji had to explain one or two: "There are a lot of strong people, and now there are more than 4,000 in our department, but they are all listed as old and weak people, only for production, not for combat effectiveness!" ”

"You're still as picky as you used to be?"

Tian Mazi was a little in a daze, Deng Ji's method of picking pawns attracted a lot of jokes, he also knew it, when he heard this, he immediately understood that this kid was still implementing, such nonsense, he could actually survive.

"Yes," Deng Ji nodded, and explained in detail the selection conditions for the brave soldiers and auxiliary soldiers now, Tian Mazi had to smile bitterly, if he really chose according to this, he was afraid that there were less than thirty people left in his own hundreds of strong soldiers.

Deng Ji then said: "In addition, the previous kid offended a lot of Qu Shuai, and Zhang Pingnan still has a lot of unhappiness there, if this starts to annex the friends again, Yu Gengen will make trouble, I'm afraid it won't be good!" ”

What Deng Pimple said was the truth, not that he didn't mean to accept it, Tian Mazi had to raise his hand and said bitterly: "Excuse me!" ”

But it was for him to take advantage of the excitement and return disappointed, Deng Ji did not send it, Tian Mazi had quickly walked out of the military tent, looking at his lonely back, the young man couldn't bear it for a while, and finally said: "Captain rest assured, if the situation changes in the future, the captain is still willing to vote, Deng Pimple will not be negative!" ”
