This month, Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun's move also ended in failure, and after the defeat, the two led the remnants of the soldiers and horses to flee outside the Saiwai. Youzhou Mu Liu Yu issued a text and offered a reward for the heads of the two. Then in the middle of the road, Zhang Chun was killed by the doorman, and the head was sent to Liu Yu. Zhang Ju fled to the Xianbei tribe and narrowly escaped the difficulty.

Previously, the leaders of the Wuhuan tribes rebelled with Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun, and now they want to surrender again. Liu Yu was about to accept it, but his subordinate Gongsun Zhan, the commander of the school, strongly opposed it, believing that the aliens could not be trusted, and troops should be sent to eliminate them all. However, Liu Yu insisted on appeasing the Wuhuan tribe with kindness and faith, and the two began to have conflicts because of their disagreement. Subsequently, the imperial court was promoted to the rank of lieutenant because of Liu Yu's meritorious service in quelling the rebellion, and he was promoted to the Marquis of Rongqiu. I have to say that this Liu Yu is quite rich.

At the beginning of April, I entrusted all the affairs of Huo Village to Zhang Fan, and I planned to go to Fucheng. Zhang Pan asked me to bring a few competent people with me, so as not to need manpower to do things at that time. So, I took Wei Xu, Chen Wei and Zhang Xiao with me, and then the position of militia captain fell on Erwa.

When I leave, Zhang Jing also plans to go with me. I told her to stay in the village, but she didn't want to, so she had to go to Fucheng with me. I thought about it, and it just so happened that there was a store in the city that needed manpower, so let her find something to do in the store. So, the five of us hit the road together.

After we came to Fucheng, Feng Xian felt very happy and said, "Brother Xian, you came at the right time, Dong Zhoumu sent someone to send a military order, let me lead the army to fight the traitors in the north and south with him, and I will set off tomorrow." ”

I said, "Okay, no problem; By the way, has there been any news in the capital recently? ”

Feng Xian asked, "What do you mean by a virtuous brother?" ”

I said: "I heard that there is a discord between the eunuchs and the party members, and they have been fighting for power for a long time. ”

He couldn't help but say: "It seems that the virtuous brother also knows a lot about the affairs of the court; Recently, there has been news in the court that the ministers have collectively written to ask the Son of Heaven to canonize the crown prince, and according to the family law, the prince should be established as the crown prince, but the Son of Heaven means that he wants to establish the prince's association, but the ministers are strongly opposed, so the matter is temporarily unresolved. ”

I couldn't help frowning, and then said: "In this way, the party members are on the side of the prince's debate, and the eunuchs are on the side of the prince's association; In this way, the cause and effect of the whole thing are clear. ”

Feng Xian was puzzled: "What the virtuous brother said, can it refer to the establishment of the prince? ”

I said, "The matter of establishing the prince is just the cause, and there will be a follow-up inside story about this matter." ”

"Oh? Can you tell me about it? Feng Xian couldn't help but ask curiously for a while.

I smiled and said, "Don't give it away, and you'll know what's going on soon." ”

Feng Xian looked at me and couldn't help but think thoughtfully.

This night, Zhang Jing sorted out my outfit for me, and the whole person looked a little reluctant. She said, "I don't know when you'll be back, but you must be safe and sound." ”

I smiled and said, "Don't worry, marching and fighting is child's play for me, and there is nothing to worry about." ”

She looked at me with a strange look in her eyes, and couldn't help asking, "Why don't I stay with you tonight?" ”

I couldn't help but smack my lips and said, "Well, my bed is a little small, and I can't sleep two people, so I'll sleep alone." ”

She suddenly said angrily: "Hmph, I've never seen someone like you who is not a good person, I really hate it, ignore you." ”

With that, she stomped her foot, turned around and left my room. I couldn't help but smile and shook my head, this girl, learn my words quite quickly.

The next day, Feng Xian and the two of us led 5,000 foot riders to the south along the Fen River, passing through Hanxinling on the way, and marching a distance of about 300 miles, and came to the boundary of Hedong County. Surrounded by mountains, it belongs to the northern boundary of Hedong County (Pingyang County was set up in the northeast of the river in the eighth year of Cao Weizheng), and there is a Yong'an City (now Huozhou City) on the east bank of Fenshui, which has long been occupied by the Baibo army.

Feng Xian couldn't help but say: "The terrain here is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if you want to go to call the battle, I am afraid that the thieves will not dare to come out to fight; If we want to attack, I'm afraid it will be difficult to overcome for a while, and it seems that we have to outwit it; However, how do you outwit it? I'm afraid I can't be tempted. ”

I said, "Why should my brother make trouble, because this city is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the defenders in the city will inevitably be lax, and if we take him by surprise at night, we will surely be able to fight in a fight." ”

Feng Xian was surprised: "Oh? How did the virtuous brother know that the defenders of the city would be lax? ”

I said, "This is very simple, the terrain here is too narrow to launch a large army to attack; If only a small force is sent in, it is usually impossible to attack at all; If I'm not mistaken, the uneducated people of the Bai Bojun must think the same way, so it is difficult to think that they will not relax their guard. ”

Feng Xian couldn't help but nodded and said, "Well, what Brother Xian said is reasonable, so according to Brother Xian's opinion, how should our army arrange tactics in this battle?" ”

I couldn't help but say: "Hey, how can you use any tactics to deal with these uneducated people, didn't the dozens of brothers in Huo Village learn the kung fu of flying eaves and walking walls with me?" Let them lurk under the city in the middle of the night, and then hook the city head with the dragon's claw and drag the rope to climb up, and then solve the night guard sentry. ”

Feng Xian couldn't help but move, but said with a smile: "I almost forgot this, thanks to the reminder of the virtuous brother." ”

After nightfall, the temperature also begins to drop, and if you dress too thinly, you will still feel a little cold at night. In the second half of the night, the thirty or so brothers set off under the leadership of Zhang Xiao, and then quickly lurked under the city without being noticed by the enemy.

But he said that the garrison of the city was indeed very lax, and that it was only necessary to see that the night watchman at the head of the city was napping according to the battlements at the moment. There was no way, it was easy for people to get sleepy at night during the turn of spring and summer, and since they had occupied the city, they had not been attacked by officers and soldiers, so it was difficult to keep them from feeling slack. In other words, many people make mistakes in doing things, usually not for other reasons, but because they are too slack.

The walls of this city are not very high, and they are only more than four meters high, which is not as high as a two-story building. Therefore, Zhang Xiao and they can easily climb up. saw Zhang Xiao throw the flying dragon claw on the city head and hook the battlement, and then pulled it with his left hand, and flew up with his foot on the city wall. At the right time, two enemy soldiers next to him were sitting on the ground leaning against the wall and napping, unaware of the anomaly at this time. saw Zhang Xiao pull the corners of his mouth slightly, and the overlord gun in his hand flashed twice, and the two were killed instantly.

I couldn't help but smile slightly, this kid's light skills are quite good, and this kind of thing can be handed over to him in the future.

Immediately, the other brothers climbed to the top of the city, and they eliminated all the vigilers in a few clicks, and quickly took control of the gates. Then, the soldiers from outside the city entered the city together.

The area occupied by the city is not large, and the circumference is only a few kilometers, which is larger than Huo Village. In just two or three quarters of an hour, it was completely controlled by our men. More than 2,000 enemy soldiers were captured, and more than 1,000 people were killed in the resistance.

Immediately, Li Su asked: "Master, what should we do with these captured enemy soldiers?" ”

The problem of captives is more difficult to deal with, killing is definitely not killing, and if you are left behind, there is not enough troops to supervise them, and the best way is to let them go.

Feng Xian thought for a moment and said, "Let them all go." ”

"No." Li Su responded.

At this time, I couldn't help but say, "Wait a minute, it's not enough to just let it go, and then distribute some dry food to each of them, lest they have no food on the road and start robbing their homes again." ”

Feng Xian couldn't help but smile and shook his head and said, "Brother Xian is really kind-hearted. ”

I smiled and said, "Enemies are also human beings, and if they are human beings, they should be treated humanely." ”

Feng Xian nodded and said to Li Su, "Just do what the virtuous brother said." ”

"No." Li Su took the order and left.

The next day, we had another half-day break. Five hundred men were immediately left to garrison, and the rest continued their march south along Fenshui. After traveling about forty miles, he came to Zhaocheng. The origin of Zhao Cheng is said that there was a man named Father during the time of King Mu of Zhou, who was particularly proficient in imperial arts, that is, he was very skilled in driving. Later, he became the driver of King Mu of Zhou, and made a lot of contributions to King Mu, and King Mu rewarded him with Zhao Cheng as a food town in order to reward him. Since then, this has become the origin of the ancestors of the Zhao family.

In addition to Zhaocheng, there were three cities to the south: Yangxian (southeast of present-day Hongdong County), Pingyang (west of present-day Linfen, west of present-day Linfen, west of the Fenhe River), and Xiangling (eighteen miles southeast of present-day Linfen), before continuing to Linfen (west bank of Fenshui, east of present-day Yonggu), where the base camp of the Baibo Army was located.
