For the sake of insurance, Yonghong chose the route to Xuchang to avoid Guo Jia's territory, so he went to Jingzhou from under Ba County, and then turned to the northeast to Xuchang.

The autumn is cool, Yonghong sits in the carriage and is in high spirits, holding his wife and concubine in his arms, sometimes singing and sometimes chanting poetry, simply getting carried away.

Seeing that he was about to enter Jingzhou, his carriage stopped on the mountain road in the wilderness, and the attendants who escorted him ran to his carriage in embarrassment, shouting in fear: "Oh no! There is an army ahead! ”

The smile froze, his face suddenly turned pale, Yonghong pushed away his wife and concubine, lifted the curtain and walked out, looking at the army slowly approaching in the distance, it seemed that there were only a thousand people.

Yonghong's expression changed, this place is the junction of Jingzhou and Yizhou, and no one knows which side of the soldiers and horses.

"Back, turn back."

Yonghong's voice was out of tune and he gave the order.

But as soon as they turned the head of the car, they saw that there were also nearly a thousand troops surrounded by the rear.

With a bloodless face, Yonghong stood tremblingly in front of the carriage, as if waiting for the verdict of fate.

His retinue was no more than a few hundred, and in the face of an army of 2,000 people in front and behind, he did not have the courage to resist at all.

Fighting bandits and blocking thieves, these guards can still deal with it, but if they face the regular army, it is impossible to fight back.

Looking at the soldiers of these armies one by one, even their expressions and eyes have a momentum that devours people's hearts, and then looking at their fully armed appearance, it is definitely not the configuration of ordinary armies.

The expressionless generals rode their horses and separated the road with the army that surrounded Yonghong, and the generals came to Yonghong and did not look at the guards who knelt on the ground and surrendered their weapons.

"Who are you? Who is the last name? ”

Gao Shun asked lightly on his horse.

As soon as Yonghong heard such a question, his mind quickly thought about how to deal with it and how to answer it.

"The villain's surname is Zhang Mingle, he is a citizen of Yongchang County, and the recent war is in chaos, and the villain wants to go to his relatives in Jingzhou with his family."

Gao Shun had never seen Yonghong, and he didn't know that the person in front of him was the initiator of the rebellion in the south, but Gao Shun could see whether Yonghong's words were true or false.

Can ordinary people have hundreds of guards?

Can ordinary people wear such luxury?

Gao Shun didn't say anything, rode to the front of the convoy, opened the curtain with his sword, and saw the four women huddled together in a cowering manner, Gao Shun lowered the curtain and glanced back at Yonghong playfully.

Can ordinary people marry so many wives and concubines?

Continuing to ride to the back, there were three carts of goods behind the carriage, and Gao Shun used his sword to split the lock on the box.

Yonghong looked at Gao Shun's movements and forced a smile, but cold sweat continued to fall down his cheeks.

When the lock was split by Gao Shun, when he opened the box, the light reflected under the light was extremely dazzling.

Gao Shun turned his head to look at Yonghong and said, "It seems that Zu Zi must be a big man with a head and a face in Yongchang County." ”

How can an unknown person have a chest full of gold, silver and jewelry without making a sound? Underneath is also pressed silk satin made of fine handmade materials.

Yonghong wiped his cold sweat and came to Gao Shunma, and said in a low voice with a little flattery: "The villain is a businessman in Yongchang, and these are all accumulated by the ancestors and the villain for more than ten years. ”

Speaking of this, Yonghong lowered his voice and said to Gao Shun: "If the general doesn't dislike it, it's better to leave this carriage for the general and treat the general's brothers." ”

Gao Shun swung his sword lightly, and the blade of the sword pressed on Yonghong's shoulder, making Yonghong silent with fright, and he didn't dare to say anything more.

Slowly moving the sword, Yonghong was pushed aside by Gao Shun like this.

Coming to the carriage behind, Gao Shun opened the box as he could, and the two back boxes were also filled with precious belongings such as gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin.

Turning the horse's head, Gao Shun condescendingly looked down at Yonghong, and said lightly: "Let's go to Chengdu if you have enough work." ”

"General, general, I just went to Jingzhou to join my relatives, and I didn't commit any crimes, please open the general's net, or, two cars, no, these belongings are given to the general, which is a piece of the villain's heart."

As soon as Yonghong heard the word Chengdu, he knew that the other party must be Guo Jia's subordinate.

He must not go to Chengdu, and if he goes, he will definitely die.

The general in front of him didn't know him, but at least Qin Mi in Chengdu had dealt with him head-on.

Money and property are outside the body, and it is better to be able to go back in exchange for a life, which is better than having both people and money.

Gao Shun was just doing business, the other party concealed his identity, and Gao Shun didn't think about any important person on the other party.

After Guo Jia returned to Chengdu, he not only sent troops to support Zhang Yan, but also sent Gao Shun to lead the trap camp to lay a defensive line along the border in the east of Yizhou.

Nanban Meng Huo, Yue Junyi Wang Gaoding, and Yonghong are all worthless clowns in Guo Jia's eyes.

In history, Zhuge Liang's expedition to the south was as easy as a breeze, and the current Guo Jia is much stronger than the Shu Han in history, and Zhuge Liang can capture and release Meng Shu, but it is not necessarily just a strategy, without the army as capital, Zhuge Liang can still be arrested and released?

The crowd of 200,000 can be broken in the blink of an eye, and after the defeat of the army, many of the wealthy families in the seven southern counties will definitely flee with their families, and Guo Jia sent Gao Shun to set up a barrier on their way to escape.

People, whether they are dead or alive, Guo Jia doesn't care.

Money and food have to be kept.

ruined Guo Jia's plan to go out of the Guandong Expedition to sweep the Central Plains, Guo Jia didn't need to think deeply and knew that only one Meng Shu was not enough to incite the seven counties to rebel together, and it was indispensable to have the figure of those local tyrants.

The battle was lost, and it was the common people who died, and for those wealthy families themselves, it was nothing more than the lack of some private soldiers to enrich their own pockets, and they wanted to flee to other places to continue to enjoy? How could Guo Jia let them get their wish?

If you flee to the west or south, Guo Jia can't control it, those places are wild, you have to go to suffer, please, but if you want to go to Jingzhou and Yangzhou, then pass the Gaoshun pass first.

Willing to give up all his property rather than go to Chengdu, Yonghong is simply not recruiting himself, and Gao Shun, who originally planned to send only a few people to escort Yonghong, decided to send more people.

"Needless to say, please go to Chengdu."

Gao Shun gave an order, and the soldiers in the camp came up to tie up Yonghong, who wanted to cry without tears, and kept begging for mercy, but he still couldn't escape the fate of being escorted to Chengdu.

Originally, Gao Shun didn't plan to tie people up and send them to Chengdu, but Yonghong's behavior was too suspicious, so Gao Shun had to be cautious.

In this turbulent period, Guo Jia was too lazy to think about whether he would wronged the good people, anyway, the wealthy families who were going to flee were all escorted to Chengdu first, and after the war stopped, the matter came to light, who participated in the rebellion in the seven counties, Guo Jia slowly investigated, if someone was innocent, it would not be too late to let him go.

The army north of Lushui retreated 30 miles and camped under the village, and Meng Shu led an army of 100,000 to cross the river.

Behind him, Gao Ding, the king of Yue Junyi, did not lead his army to follow.

Gao Ding, who now also has 100,000 troops, after taking over the 50,000 private soldiers left by Yonghong, not only did not go north to join forces with Meng Huo, but withdrew his troops.

Meng was sent to question Gao Ding, but Gao Ding turned away his people and withdrew his troops to the southwest of Yuejun County.

After this news reached Zhang Yan's camp, several generals and Pang Tong were deeply surprised.

"Strategist, will there be fraud?"

Wu Yi asked Pang Tong.

Pang Tong sneered and teased: "Is General Wu still haunted by the battle of the Sword Pavilion Dao that he lost back then?" ”

With a little embarrassment on his face, he guarded the Sword Pavilion for Liu Yan back then, Wu Yi was indeed unforgettable for life, he was now the enemy's army and had to ponder for a long time, for fear of some conspiracy.

This is a good thing, it is better to think more than to have a blank mind.

Pang Tong continued: "It seems that there are careerists everywhere in the world. King Yi Gaoding wanted to demarcate the north and south with the lord and rule. At the moment, I don't know if Meng Shu will withdraw his troops. ”

Xu Chu was excited, and there were only 100,000 of the 200,000 enemy troops left in a blink of an eye, and he said in a sullen voice: "These southern barbarians are really angry. ”

"Hey, why should Zhong Kang be annoyed, that King Gao Ding didn't dare to come to fight the lord, but the lord may not spare his life, if I expect it to be correct, after defeating the Nanban, the lord will definitely order us to wave the army south and subdue the seven counties."

Yan Yan stroked his white beard and said lightly with a smile.

Yan Yan did not guess wrong, since Guo Jia's eastern expedition was blocked, after returning to Chengdu, the first thing to do was to pacify the seven southern counties of Yizhou.

Meng Wei knew that Gaoding withdrew his army, intending to dominate the seven southern counties, in contrast, Meng Huo hated the Han officials more, perhaps in his opinion, Yiwang Gaoding is his own family, they are all marginal ethnic groups under the rule of the Han family, how to fight with their own families, outsiders can't care about it when they close the door, but since they have already waved their troops on the road to attack Chengdu, they can't give up halfway.

After losing his temper in the battalion, Meng Shu resolutely ordered the whole army to go north.

In terms of troops, he has 100,000 troops, which has given him the confidence to attack Chengdu.

The southern barbarian elephant opened the way, and Meng was riding on the head and led the army away majestically.

Just as Meng Huo waved his army north, between the mountains far west of Lushui, there was a group of no less than 1,000 troops crossing the mountains and mountains, coming from the north and heading south.

Perhaps it was a coincidence that in the mountains east of Lushui, there was also a group of hundreds of people heading north, and the leader turned out to be a woman.

This group of people detoured from the mountain road to Jiangyang County, and then turned to Shu County, where Chengdu is located, and after entering Shu County, the team of hundreds of people broke up, broke up into pieces, and entered from the city gates on all sides of Chengdu in a low-key manner.

After entering the city, the group gathered together again and sent people to find out where the governor of Chengdu lived.

I thought that their actions were impenetrable and had the effect of concealing the world, but I didn't know that as early as when they entered Chengdu in batches, they were already being targeted in the dark.

After listening to the report of his subordinates, Xiao Ren said: "Follow them closely and see if there is anyone in the city who can cover or provide assistance for them, and don't startle the snake until the last moment, if there are their internal responses in the city, I will catch them all." ”
