readx; Yizhou County, this is a small county close to the Yishui River, located in the south of Yizhou, away from the official road, is a relatively remote small county, on the other side of the Yishui is the boundary of Youzhou, like other counties in Hebei County, after experiencing several waves of people fleeing, the population has plummeted, especially after the massacre in Anxi County, which is not far from the county, the people of the county are fleeing seriously, from the earliest more than 3,000 households to less than 600 households now, even the county order, the county Cheng, the master and other parents and officials have also disappeared, The people in the county were suddenly panicked, and thieves were everywhere. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

But soon there was a parent official in the county, he was the former county commander of Yi County, Zhang Xun, and he came to the county with the officials and the county lieutenant Cui Anshi, the two quickly organized a militia group, exterminated more than a dozen gangs of bandits in the county, the people's hearts were determined, what is more funny is that An Lushan actually sent a decree from the king of Yan, commending Zhang Xun for his meritorious service in pacifying the bandits, and promoted him to Yizhou Taishou, and Cui Anshi was promoted to Yizhou Sima.

On the one hand, Zhang Xun pretended to accept the appointment, on the other hand, he actively gathered the displaced people from all over the world, built weapons and arrows, and organized the Anxiang Regiment, and soon they exterminated a group of 300 mountain bandits who gathered in Xiangshan, seized a large number of grain weapons, distributed food, settled down to protect the people, and the surrounding homeless people gathered like ants, and in just half a month, Zhang Xun's Anxiang Regiment grew to 1,500 people.

And at this time, a special team came to the county, they rode on a high-headed horse, dressed in coarse cloth short clothes, and wore armor in the clothes, wearing bamboo hats, a total of twenty-two horses, except for a petite woman, the remaining twenty-one people were all burly, powerful, they all carried horizontal swords, long bows and leather bags on their backs, and there were quivers and short spears hanging on the saddle bridge, at first glance it was an extraordinary army, the leader had a baby face, and his appearance was honest and honest, although he was tall, But it feels more like a guy in a wine shop, he is Li Qing'an's most effective scout general Ji Sheng and his twenty-one brothers.

An extra girl is the woman who killed and injured Li Qincuo, Xie Langjian, after the battle in the annex, Xie Langjian also joined this scout team, she is smart and clever, and there is no squeamishness of ordinary girls, and the scouts live together, very hard-working, deeply liked by the scouts, everyone calls her Xiao Xie, with her, the arduous and tired march has become a little bit of vitality.

"Ji Tou, do we really want to help this Zhang County Order?"

Xiao Xie is a girl after all, she has more words than these men who are silent all day long, she has a good voice, and when she speaks, she is like a singing oriole.

Everyone likes to hear her call the general Ji Sheng Ji Tou, Ji Sheng is very strict with them, but he can't get angry in front of this little girl, this title makes many people mischievous of chicken heads, give them a breath, the scouts have a smile on their faces, and look at Xiao Xie with a smile.

Ji Sheng smiled bitterly and said: "I don't know why I want to help this Zhang County Order, but this is the general's order, we must obey the order!" ”

"How could the general know about this Zhang County Order? It's weird! ”

Ji Sheng's face sank, and he stretched his voice and said, "Xiao Xie-"

Xiao Xie stuck out her tongue and covered her mouth and didn't dare to speak, but she was more curious in her heart, what kind of person is Li Qingan? made her big brothers worship one by one.

However, Ji Sheng also had some doubts in his heart, they had a lot of tasks to do, and everything could be done vigorously, but there was only one sentence in the order sent by Li Qingan: help Zhang Xun with all his might.

In his memory, the name Zhang Xun only appeared once in Yan Gaoqing's tens of thousands of words report, which was inconspicuous, but Li Qingan noticed him, which made Ji Sheng puzzled, but no matter what Li Qingan's reason was, Ji Sheng only had the word 'obey'.

The group came to the city, the city wall is not high, and it looks a little dilapidated, the city gate is closed, and more than a dozen soldiers of the Anxiang Regiment are standing at the head of the city with ash pole spears in their hands, looking at them suspiciously.

"Please inform you of the county order, and say that someone from Zhending County is here."

A soldier of the Anxiang regiment ran to the city, Zhang Xun was discussing with Cui Anshi in the county government at the moment to deal with the incorporation, this matter made Zhang Xun quite distressed, I don't know who told Li Huaixian about the Anxiang regiment in Youzhou, Li Huaixian sent someone to send a letter, preparing to incorporate his Anxiang regiment into the Yan army, and there will be an incorporated army soon.

Of course, Zhang Xun would not let the militia he established be absorbed by An Lushan's army, which was no different from his complete surrender to An Lushan, but he also knew that the combat effectiveness of his militia was very weak, and he only fought some bandits, and he still used tactics, otherwise his militia might not even be able to defeat those bandits, let alone the regular Yan army.

"Envoy, I thought we should still take it as the priority, Li Huaixian was suspicious of us, so he would have a word of incorporation, I estimate that the army he sent will not be less than five hundred, against these five hundred Yan army, we will definitely be defeated, only by calculation, maybe there is a glimmer of hope."

Zhang Xun paced in the room with his hands behind his back, he had some contradictions in his heart, after his unremitting efforts for more than half a month, the population of Juxian County gradually increased from more than 600 households to 2,000 households, the people's hearts were stable, and Juxian County was close to Youzhou, An Lushan was not very good at slaughtering the city, it can be said that there was no special accident, and the more than 2,000 households in the county could basically survive the war.

But now he wants to rebel against An Lushan's rebellion, for the sake of righteousness, he wants to take righteousness and become benevolent, but it is bound to affect the people in the county. He can die generously, he can be a county parent official, let these innocent people die with him, he can't bear it, Zhang Xun's heart is full of contradictions.

After a while, he said slowly: "When will the Yan army arrive, how many troops will arrive, we don't know for the time being, even if we want to calculate, we should be prepared to break the net, you first ask the soldiers of the militia group, how many people want to be incorporated into the Yan army?" ”

Cui Anshi saw that Zhang Xun was very hesitant in his heart, so he nodded and said, "Okay!" I'm going to talk to everyone first and see what they think. If everyone is bent on rebelling against An Lushan, then we will fight to the end. ”

Cui Anshi saluted, turned around and left, Zhang Xun walked to the window, looked at the sky with his hands behind his back, the husband stood between heaven and earth, when he took the righteousness, sensible, the country was in danger, he should stand up, and how could he live in the world because of his regrets, thinking of this, Zhang Xun's heart was horizontal, the matter had come to this, he let go.

At this time, a report from a militia soldier came from outside the door: "Envoy, there is a group of people from outside the city, about 20 people, saying that they are from Zhending County and want to see the envoy." ”

Zhang Xun was stunned, someone must have come, could it be Jiang Xiaotong? He hurriedly put on a robe and said, "Take me to see it!" ”

The county seat is not big, and after a while, Zhang Xun went to the city, he looked down, and saw that there were more than 20 knights standing under the city, but it was not Jiang Xiaotong, but some people he didn't know.

"This official is Zhang Xun, who are you? You're coming to me. ”

Ji Sheng immediately stepped forward and smiled: "Our identity is not easy to leak, let Zhang County Order let us enter the city, and I will tell you in private." ”

Zhang Xun saw that there were only more than 20 people on the other side, and even An Lushan's people couldn't help him, so he ordered: "Open the city gate and let them in!" ”

The soldiers shook their wheels, the dilapidated and heavy city gate creaked open, more than 20 people rushed in, Zhang Xun ran down the city, and waited for them by the city gate, he bowed his hand again and said: "May I ask your identity!" ”

Ji Sheng turned over and dismounted, and whispered to him: "We are scouts of the Anxi Army, and I am Ji Sheng, the general of the first scout battalion." ”

"Ahh

Zhang Xun exclaimed, he reacted immediately, and said in surprise: "Could it be General Ji who exterminated Li Qin's troops?" ”

"Yes, yes."

Zhang Xun solemnly saluted: "It turned out that General Ji had arrived, how rude I was!" ”

"Shh

Ji Sheng looked to both sides, and saw that the militia soldiers in the city were looking at them, so he said in a low voice: "This is not the place to talk, please change the place to speak." ”

"General Ji, please come with me!"

Zhang Xun brought the group to the county office, he ordered people to prepare meals, and let people lead horses to feed grass and water, someone beckoned everyone to rest and eat, Ji Sheng and his deputy Zhao Jingyun followed Zhang Xun into the inner office.

Zhang Xun invited them into the house and closed the door, Zhang Xun sighed, "You may not have come by chance. ”

Ji Sheng and Zhao Jingyun glanced at each other, and Ji Sheng smiled: "Why is it not a coincidence?" ”

"An Lushan's army may come tomorrow and two days to take over my militia, and I am worried about this matter."

Zhang Xun sighed, "Worried! ”

Ji Sheng laughed, "In this way, we should have come by coincidence, and we can help Zhang Xianling solve this difficulty." ”

Zhang Xun was overjoyed, he had planned to arrive at the incorporation of An Lushan's army, but he was worried that there was no one to help him, and the arrival of Ji Sheng and others would undoubtedly bring him great help.

"The arrival of General Ji is really heaven helping me!"

"Zhang County Commander doesn't have to be polite, although we don't have many people, we are good at surprise soldiers, and I believe we will help Zhang County Order."

Zhang Xun's heart finally fell, he suddenly remembered something, and asked with a smile: "How could General Ji think of coming to Laixian County?" I thought you were back in Hedong. ”

"We went back to Yunzhou, but we received an order from my general, ordering us to come to Yuxian County to help Zhang County, so we rushed here again."

"You mean, His Royal Highness King Zhao asked you to help me?" Zhang Xun asked with some surprise.

Ji Sheng smiled and nodded, "Exactly!" ”

"But how can His Royal Highness King Zhao know about me?"

"I don't know very well, maybe Yan Taishou's report mentioned you, saying that you are preparing to resist An Lushan in Yuxian, our general is very careful, and he can notice things that others can't think of, so he ordered us to help you."

Zhang Xun changed his mind, maybe he could only explain it like this, he hadn't read Yan Gaoqing's report, and he didn't know how Yan Gaoqing wrote him in the report.

"Did General Ji ever think about how we should deal with the upcoming An Lushan army?"

"This ..... There should be many ways, let's discuss it together. ”

．．．．．．．．

At noon the next day, a group of nearly 600 Yan cavalry arrived in Yu County, led by Zhonglang General is a Khitan man, called A Jiegu, about 35 or 6 years old, dark skin, not tall, but extremely strong, he has been in the army in Fanyang for many years, can speak fluent Chinese, he is one of Li Huaixian's generals, this time at the order of Li Huaixian to come to incorporate the Anmin regiment in Yu County.

On the one hand, of course, because Li Huaixian did not allow a second army other than the Yan army to appear near the boundary of Youzhou, on the other hand, it was also because of the serious fugitives in Hebei and the shortage of soldiers, Li Huaixian heard that Zhang Xun had recruited 1,500 people, and he immediately decided to take this army into his own.

Leading troops to nearby states and counties to do things is the most desirable thing for these soldiers and bandits, An Lushan has no longer bound military discipline, I don't know how much oil and water can be fished out of a trip, and this army will be stationed in Yan County, it is the emperor of the sky, they are the emperor of the soil.

Therefore, as soon as Li Huaixian sent troops, three or four generals immediately rushed to go, and no one would take the peasants' improvised Anmin regiment in their eyes, but it is said that there are more than 2,000 households in Yu County, and there are also Suicheng County and Guiyi County nearby, and the population is quite large.

More than 600 cavalry were followed by dozens of carriages, of course, there were some armor, ordnance and banners for compilation, but more of them were the oil and water they fished along the way.

They attacked five or six villages in the vicinity of Yi County overnight, and although most of the people fled, they still gained a lot of money, not only plundered a lot of money and goods, but also captured fifty or sixty young women, several of whom were good-looking, and when they had enough fun along the way, they sent people back to Youzhou to sell them in the courtyard, which was another income.

These women were locked up in several carriages, listening to them crying and crying all the way, but these soldiers didn't care, and waited for the night to vent on them, anyway, Li Huaixian didn't set a time for them, so they robbed houses all the way and ruined the women.

At noon, seeing that there were 2,000 households in Yu County, and each person could live in three families on average, everyone's heart was warm, and they couldn't wait to fly their wings to rush to the county seat.

At this moment, the front was dusty, and a team of people and horses appeared, and Ah Jiegu immediately ordered the team to stop advancing, and when the people and horses on the opposite side approached, everyone saw clearly, it was more than a dozen men driving a few carriages, and dozens of sheep were tied to the carriages, as well as a lot of large jars and firewood, and everyone was a little stunned, what is this going to do?

I saw that the first middle-aged official stepped forward and bowed and saluted: "The lower official is Zhang Xun, the Taishou of Yizhou, may I ask you are the officers and soldiers sent by General Li to collect from Yuxian County?" ”
