Chapter 956: The Wind Country is Coming

Han Mo's subordinates all clenched their knives, compared to the oncoming group of people, the Yan soldiers were naturally well-trained, advancing and retreating, seven or eight soldiers had already stepped forward, holding shields to form a line of defense, and the other soldiers were either holding spears or broadswords, and several people were also bending bows and arrows to face the incoming enemy.

In terms of the number of people, the other party has more than 20 people, but when it comes to combat ability, Yan Bing naturally has the upper hand, thirsty for mountain spring water on the way, hungry for mountain meat, strong and energetic, the previous fatigue has long been dissipated, if you do it at this time, the other party may not be able to take advantage.

However, Han Mo also knew that if he started with the other party at this time, he would certainly not lose to the other party, but the soldiers have a saying, wound the enemy by a thousand, and damage themselves by eight hundred, and the group of people who came on the front also looked like fierce people, look at them are all swords and bows, they are by no means ordinary people, and if they fight each other, the brothers on their side may also suffer casualties, so he immediately said in a deep voice: "Brothers, don't act rashly, everything has me!" ”

The forty or fifty men fanned around and stopped more than ten paces away, and suddenly heard one of them shout, "Ouch, it seems that he is a soldier." ”

When Han Mo and his entourage set off from Tingshui Pass, in order to hide people's eyes, they all changed into captured Wei soldier armor, although most of the armor is now damaged and bloodstained, and even half of them have even lost their torn armor and are only wearing short shirts inside, but the other party can still easily see that this is a group of soldiers.

Han Mo deliberately lowered his voice and shouted in a hoarse-sounding voice, "Who are you?" Why are you standing in our way, is it a rebellion? ”

I saw a burly man walking out from that side, wearing a short coat, with an open placket, revealing a hairy chest, two arms dark and thick, and his face was full of horizontal meat, hanging a bow and carrying an arrow box, holding a copper fork in his hand, which seemed to be his weapon, this person was obviously the leader of this group of people, and walked out a few steps before he said loudly: "Don't misunderstand, officials, we are all good people, not rebellion." ”

When he saw the armor of Han Mo and his party, he only thought that they were all soldiers of the Wei State.

Han Mo sneered: "Since it's not a rebellion, why do you want to use a bow and arrow at us?" You're so bold. ”

The strong man hurriedly turned around and said, "It's all down, it's my own family." Then the group lowered their bows and arrows.

The strong man asked loudly, "Yes, where are the officials going?" Looking at the appearance of the officials, it seems that they are lost, I wonder if we can help! ”

Han Mo didn't talk much nonsense, stretched out a hand, beckoned to the strong man, and said, "You come here!" ”

The strong man was stunned for a moment, hesitated, looked back at the people under him, and saw that he was a man, although the other party was a soldier, he should not dare to do anything to himself, and walked over cautiously, but he still stopped four or five steps away, hugged his fists and said: "Villain Hou Biao, I have seen adults." ”

Han Mo glanced at Hou Biao a few times before he said: "We are from the Shannan Army, Lao Tzu is the commander of the Shannan Army, and you call Lao Tzu Wei the commander." ”

Hou Biao smiled: "It turned out to be Commander Wei, I have been looking up for a long time!" ”

Han Mo thought to himself: "If you admire my name for a long time, you will really be a hell." But his face was solemn, and he said, "We fought with the Yan people, and then we got lost, so we came here." ”

Hou Biao said in his heart, and said busily: "Commander Wei must have won the battle, and he got lost after chasing the Yan people." ”

Han Mo coughed and pointed to the large group of people: "Hou Biao Laozi came to ask you, who are these people?" What are you going to do when you are gathered together with swords and bows? ”

Hou Biao hesitated, and didn't speak for a while, Han Mo snorted coldly, and Hou Biao finally said: "Commander Wei, everyone is a folk righteous person, and when they get together, they want to go to the national disaster together and contribute to the country!" ”

"Contribute to the country?" Han Mo sneered: "A large group of people wandering in the valley, what kind of power does it come from?" I'm going to see if you're going to take advantage of the fire here, right? ”

Hou Biao hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Commander Wei has misunderstood. Don't hide it from Commander Wei, in the past, everyone still did some business without capital, but now that the country is in crisis and the strong enemy is invading, everyone is just thinking about contributing to the country. Originally, everyone was discussing going to Kyoto City to participate in the battle in the next few days to defend against foreign enemies ......! ”

Han Mo said lightly: "If you want to go to Kyoto City, is that going in this direction?" ”

Hou Biao waved his hand and said: "Commander Wei is not in a hurry, I was originally going to Kyoto City, but yesterday I got a piece of news that a group of Yan people entered Shannan County, I don't know what the intention is, we are going to chase them." ”

"Yanren?" Han Mo frowned, and the hands of the Yan soldiers beside him holding guns and knives were still strong and strong.

"Yes, yes, we got the news, someone put a signal last night, there are more than 20 people on the other side, although they are disguised, they must be from Yan Guo." Hou Biao affirmed: "Our people have followed them, leaving marks along the way, after I got the news yesterday, I gathered this group of righteous people and chased after them along the way." Those Yan people must be the Yan country's exploration horses, if they are captured and handed over to the government, hehe......! At this, his face showed unconcealed excitement.

In fact, at this time, an order had been issued from Kyoto City to all parts of the Wei State, and every citizen in the land of the Great Wei Dynasty, regardless of their status, could be rewarded as long as they could make meritorious contributions in this battle to protect the country, even those Jiangyang bandits, as long as they had the heart to serve the country and suffer hardships with the country, they could still be pardoned for their previous sins, and they would not be blamed in the past.

Because of this, there were many people from all over the Wei Kingdom who flocked to Kyoto City to gather.

Wei lived in poverty, many people were forced to be helpless, fell into the grass, in comparison, among the four countries, the banditry of Wei was the most serious, and as a mountain and forest area of Shannan County, banditry was even more rampant.

Hou Biao is one of the bandits in the mountainous area of Shannan County, and there are more than a dozen brothers under him.

The thief is a business with his head pinned to the waistband of his trousers, if it is not helpless, no one wants to embark on this road, and now the Wei court has issued a decree, no matter where he comes from, as long as he can go to Yanjing City to assemble and participate in the war, he can be exempted from all past crimes, and he is not to blame for the past, and he can also get a reward for his merits.

When Hou Biao and others learned the news, they invited many colleagues to prepare to go to Kyoto City together to make meritorious contributions to the army and find a good way out.

Just before leaving, I got a message that a team of Yan people wearing weapons entered the mountainous area of Shannan County.

Hou Biao, who learned the news, immediately felt that the opportunity had arrived.

He was short of manpower on hand, and felt that that team of Yan people was not easy to deal with, in order to be sure, he sent two clever subordinates to follow up, leaving marks along the way, and he himself sent people to notify several other groups of mountain bandits nearby, and gathered forty or fifty people, feeling that it was enough to deal with that group of Yan people, so he chased all the way along the way.

These mountain bandits knew in their hearts that if they could capture that group of Yan people, it would definitely be a great achievement, and they would definitely be rewarded by the government, so they were all very excited.

When they met Han Mo's group of people, Hou Biao and the others thought that they had caught up with the group of Yan people, so they rushed up to do it.

Han Mo was puzzled at this time, he didn't know who the group of Yan people they were chasing was, but he also doubted in his heart whether it was the Yan Army spies sent by Han Xuanling to find out the news, so he said: "Coincidentally, we are also preparing to go to Kyoto City, since we have encountered this incident, we have to help you." ”

Hou Biao looked strange and said with a smile: "Commander Wei is polite, I don't dare to bother you with this matter." He asked with a puzzled look, "Is Commander Wei going to Kyoto City?" Aren't you Shannan Army? Why go to Kyoto City? ”

"Why did I go to Kyoto City and report to you?" Han Mo said coldly.

Hou Biao hurriedly smiled: "No, no, it's just that I heard that the people of the Wind Country have come in, and they all think that the Shannan Army is guarding the Wind Country, and I don't know that Commander Wei is still going to enter Beijing!" ”

"The Wind Nation has come in?" Han Mo frowned, a slight look of surprise in his eyes.

Hou Biao said: "I also heard the news from other brothers, I don't know if it's true or not." It is only said that tens of thousands of troops in the Wind Country have entered the territory of our Great Wei Country ......in addition to the territory of the Wind Country! He clenched his fist and waved it vigorously: "Those barbarians, this is called taking advantage of the fire to rob, they used to only dare to nest in their own holes and dare not come out, but now when they see that my Great Wei is in trouble, they come out and insert a pole." But with your Shannan army here, those barbarians will soon be hugging their heads. ”

Han Mo was very surprised in his heart, he knew that the Wind Country had always been indisputable, the previous dynasty was in turmoil, and after the world was in turmoil, the three southern counties got rid of control and established the Wind Country, and the country was established for a hundred years, although it has also gone through many wars, especially with the Wei State, often fighting each other, and even with the Yan State There have been several sword battles, but all along, the people of the Wind Country have been fighting on their own territory, and they have almost never left their own country to fight in the army, this time they suddenly left their country and entered the Wei realm, which is indeed surprising news.

In other words, if this news is true, then Wei will not only face an attack by the Yanqing coalition army, but will face a full-scale attack by the other three countries of the Central Plains.

What surprised Han Mo was that as the supreme commander of the Yan ** Fang, and he still had a very complete intelligence network in his hand, he didn't know anything about the news of the Wind Country's participation in the war in advance.

If any country wants to start a war, it can never be a whim, and it must make all kinds of preparations in advance.

Wind Country sent tens of thousands of troops, that is obviously a full force, such a large military operation, it must have been carefully planned in advance, and other countries did not know anything in advance, then it can only prove that Wind Country is very secret about this military attack plan, and it has been hidden from many people.

Obviously, the people of the Wind Country must have also concealed Sima Haoyue.

If it weren't for the judgment that the Wind Country would not send troops easily, Sima Haoyue would not dare to be so bold and transfer all the 20,000 Shannan troops.

Being able to hide from Sima Haoyue's eyes, the people of the Wind Country seem to be really weird.

He suddenly understood, why the Shannan Army's attack in the first-line valley was frustrated, but suddenly withdrew, now it seems that it is not that they want to evacuate, but that the military situation in the rear is urgent, and they can only withdraw their troops and turn back to deal with the threat of the Fengguo people.

The four countries of the Central Plains are all involved in this war, this Central Plains War! ~!
