It sounds incredible that Xi Zhicai conquered Sixteen Villages on the 10th, but in fact, he didn't encounter any decent battles, and he was basically in a hurry. At the beginning, he divided the men and horses into three roads, all the way led by Guo Tai and others, and the men and horses on this road were up to 15,000 Baibo troops and 50,000 soldiers. All the way, led by Xu Huang, Shi A, and Guan Hai, he was led by Zhang Niujiao, Chu Yan's men and horses, and 30,000 soldiers. Zuihou was led by Xi Zhicai and Zhang Baiqi all the way, commanding 100 Yellow Turban Heavenly Soldiers, 4,000 Dart Divisions, and 20,000 elite soldiers.

The three people have their own advantages, Guo Tai is a lot of people, Xu Huang is fierce, Xi Zhi is talented and elite, and any cottage alone encounters one of the people and horses without the power to resist, not to mention that there are no thieves in these cottages, and some cottages are even fighting to grab the position of the head of the thief. In this case, Xi Zhicai pushed over with three people, and there was no need to fight at all, and sixteen cottages fell from the wind.

After pacifying 16 cottages, there are only eight cottages left among the thieves in Montenegro, namely Zhang Niujiao's Niujiao Village, Chu Yan's Feiyan Village, Zuo Zhangbazhai, Tao Sheng's Pinghan Village, Yang Feng's Phoenix Village, Zhenggu's White Rabbit Village, Baihuan's Liuhe Village and Yu Poison's Tiger Village in Laohuling.

These eight cottages are all handsome, and the locations are easy to defend and difficult to attack. Xi Zhicai gathered 200,000 people together to discuss countermeasures.

Mrs. Guo was very proud of her victory in a few battles, and her smile had been on her face as soon as she entered the camp. How to attack the previous sixteen villages, how to attack next. When I was kind enough to help the mage deliver the message, they insulted me, so this time I wanted them to look good. ”

Xi Zhicai saw that Guo Tai was very resentful and persuaded him: "General Guo, don't be anxious, the remaining Bazhai is very different from the previous cottage." Not only is there a boss in charge, but the position is also easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if we can capture it, the losses will definitely not be small, and it will go against our original intention. In addition, the soldiers were newly recruited, the training was insufficient, and the morale was low, so if the war was unfavorable, I am afraid that there was a possibility of bombing the battalion and rebelling. ”

Mrs. Guo nodded and asked, "What should Mr. Yi Zhicai do?" ”

Xi Zhicai said: "I don't think I need to fight anymore." Most of these soldiers are people from the Sixteen Villages, and their families have basically finished taking over. The rest of the family members asked for it directly from Bazhai, and they didn't dare not pay it. Even if they don't give me face, I have to give Zhang Niujiao some face, and I will give Zhang Niujiao 30,000 soldiers, and it shouldn't be difficult to ask him to help pay back the old and weak. General Guo was also asked to take a trip to this matter, and only the general could make friends with Zhang Niujiao. ”

Mrs. Guo calmed down and said, "What Mr. said is very reasonable, and this matter is on me." Actually, I didn't want to kill them all, but I just remembered that they toasted and didn't eat and drink, and I was angry. ”

Xi Zhicai said with a smile: "General Guo is even angry at pulling out a few villages. This time, the general went to Niujiaozhai to return the soldiers, and asked General Zhang Niujiao to say a few kind words in front of General Zhang Niujiao, and strive to repair the relationship between the two families. In addition, he told General Zhang that the cooperation that the mage had said before was still counted. ”

Mrs. Guo nodded and said, "I know, Mr. Zhicai is waiting for my good news." ”——

Zhang Niujiao has been ill since he was injured by the bitter cockle. He was stabbed in the abdomen with a spear, although it was not a vital point and he was not killed at the time, but it was difficult to cure with the medical conditions at the time, unless there was a clever surgeon like Hua Tuo, excessive blood loss and wound infection were enough to kill Zhang Niujiao.

After Chu Yan sent Zhang Niujiao back to Niujiao Village, he did not return to his own cottage, but stayed to take care of Zhang Niujiao. His own Feiyan Village is guarded by Sun Qing, Wang Dang, and Du Chang under his command, and these three people are quite brave and have no problem guarding the village.

Chu Yan and Zhang Niujiao have a very close relationship, and what he is most worried about is that as soon as he leaves, Zhang Niujiao will not be able to take charge of the chaos of the cottage and be taken advantage of by others. The "others" in Chu Yan's heart are not Nan Ye, but the thief chiefs of other bandits. Since the bitter cockroach can turn its face and not recognize people, other thieves also have this possibility, and Chu Yan has to guard against it. For this reason, he also gave up the opportunity to annex other cottages, and took care of Zhang Niujiao wholeheartedly and helped him guard the cottages.

Zhang Niujiao is sometimes awake, sometimes confused, sleeps for a while, wakes up for a while. Knowing that Chu Yan was guarding the camp for him, Zhang Niujiao was very grateful in his heart. He knew that his life was short, so he intended to give the cottage to Chu Yan. But he mentioned it to Chu Yan a few times, but Chu Yan resolutely refused to accept it, and advised him to recuperate with peace of mind and not to think about it, which made Zhang Niujiao even more determined to do so.

More than ten days have passed since that battle, and Zhang Niujiao's injury has deteriorated day by day. Faced with this situation, Chu Yan was hard to swallow, and he really regretted that he didn't agree to Master Nan Ye's proposal at the beginning. If God could let him choose again, he would definitely persuade Zhang Niujiao to agree to Master Nan Ye, so that not only would he avoid a big battle, but he would also save Zhang Niujiao's life.

On this day, as soon as Chu Yan ordered someone to feed Zhang Niujiao with medicine, a mountain patrol minion came to report: "The five generals of Baibogu, Guo Tai, Yang Feng, Han Xian, Li Le, and Hu Cai came to meet ......."

Chu Yan saw that the minions were about to speak and stopped asking: "If you have something to say, what are you doing?" ”

The patrol said: "General Guo has brought a lot of horses, not to mention ...... There are 100,000 of them. ”

"What? You repeat! Chu Yan jumped up suddenly, he remembered that there were only more than 15,000 people when Mrs. Guo visited Zhang Niujiao, or the four soldiers and horses occupied a place, why did they not see 100,000 people in a few days?

The mountain patrol stammered, "Yes...... It is more than 100,000 people, and the black pressure under the mountain is full of people. ”

Chu Yan said nervously: "Then how many people did the five of them bring to the mountain immediately?" ”

The minion said: "I only took four people up the mountain, and those four people are still ...... Or the leader of the village. ”

Hearing what the minions said, Chu Yan wondered even more, why did Mrs. Guo still have a person with horns? But strange is strange, knowing that only nine people went up the mountain, one of his hearts was put back in his stomach. At least it shows that Mrs. Guo didn't bring people to attack the cottage.

Thinking of this, Chu Yan ordered: "Hurry up and ask General Guo to sit in the middle hall for a while, and I will arrive later." ”

Chu Yan pondered for a moment after the minions left, considering whether to inform the sick Zhang Niujiao about this. After thinking about it, he still felt that he should not tell Zhang Niujiao before the situation was clear, in case the irritated Zhang Niujiao's condition recurred, it would not be good. After making up her mind, Chu Yan tidied up her clothes and went straight to the middle hall.

Mrs. Guo sat in the hall and recalled Xi Zhicai's words. As soon as he entered this Niujiao Village, he found that this cottage was indeed as Xi Zhicai said, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if it was attacked, he didn't know how many people and horses would be lost.

The cottage of Zhang Niujiao is actually a dock fort built in the mountains. Dock Fort, also known as Dock Wall, is a kind of civil defensive building, which was formed during the reign of Wang Mang Tianfeng, when there was a great hunger in the north and social turmoil. In order to protect themselves, the families of the rich built the walls of the dock forts.

After the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty had ordered the destruction of the dock fort, but the ban could not be stopped, because the people in the northwest often suffered from the Qiang troubles, and the people automatically organized self-defense forces. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Wubao was stationed with a large number of troops and family soldiers, and became a haven for old officials and guests.

The dock fort of Zhang Niujiao resembles a castle, surrounded by deep ditches and high walls, the internal houses are adjacent, and the four corners and the center are built with another tower and high-rise buildings. The castle is like a village, and there are also fields and ponds on the side. The fort gate is opened in the middle of the south wall, and there is a courtyard at the entrance, and the hall and building are built in the courtyard. There are also auxiliary buildings such as kitchens, toilets, pigsties, and a back door located at the north end of the east wall.

Mrs. Guo also broke through several cottages, but she had never seen such a strong dock fort in operation, and she immediately felt that Mr. Zhicai was really prescient. If the remaining eight cottages are like this Niujiao Village, I am afraid that I will really suffer a big loss.

As soon as Chu Yan entered the hall, he saw Mrs. Guo frowning and pondering, he coughed and said, "Chu Yan didn't know that Brother Guo was here, he was disappointed, forgive me!" Forgiveness! ”

Mrs. Guo, Yang Feng and others hurriedly got up and returned the salute, and Mrs. Guo said, "General Chu is polite!" Why don't you see General Zhang? ”

Mrs. Guo didn't see Zhang Niujiao, and thought that Chu Yan took advantage of the chaos to annex Zhang Niujiao's cottage. If this is the case, there is still some trouble, who knows if Chu Yan is in the same mind as Zhang Niujiao and is willing to cooperate with the mage?

Chu Yan heard Mrs. Guo ask about Zhang Niujiao, sighed and said: "Alas~ General Zhang was injured by the villain and is recuperating in the back village, and ordered me to temporarily take the things in the village." If Brother Guo has something to say, he will tell me the same. ”

Mrs. Guo couldn't figure out whether what Chu Yan said was true or false, but fortunately, Nan Ye returned the people of Zhang Niujiao and Chu Yan, and Mrs. Guo didn't have to be too embarrassed, so she returned Master Nan Ye's intention to return the people and make friends with Zhang and Chu together.
