The night was dark, and there was not a trace of starry moonlight. The city of Beiping was quiet, except for the occasional shouting of the husband, there was no more.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves pierced the night sky, startling the barking of the dogs. On the royal street, galloping horses rushed to the palace. Whoever jumps down immediately holds his chest high and walks steadily. Several chamberlains waited outside the palace gate, and after An Weiguo, the deputy governor of the forbidden army, entered the palace, he secretly thought to himself, and sent Zhu Shuai of Hedong.

This brought together all the soldiers and horses under the city of Beiping, and it really gathered most of the generals in the Northern Han army.

It's just that Zhu Biaotun's Bodaoling is more than thirty miles away from the capital, and I'm afraid it will take some time. Shrinking their necks and rubbing their hands incessantly, the eyes of the eunuchs kept looking at the other side of the royal street.

The sound of hooves was hurried, and the five horsemen galloped forward, and stopped steadily in front of the palace gate, and the knights on the horse led by him jumped down, and a forbidden soldier stepped forward to take the reins. The attendants looked at it, who is Zhu Biao, the brightest star in the Northern Han Dynasty today? After verifying his identity, Zhu Biao immediately entered the palace and walked towards the martial arts hall under the guidance of the eunuchs. After a while, he caught up with An Guowei, who was one step ahead.

The two walked side by side. An Weiguo looked at the waiter in front of him and whispered: "Zhu Shuai, I'm afraid Yanzhou will not be guaranteed." "Zhu Biao is from Yanxi, and it is the land of the Zhu family's mulberry, no wonder he wants to tell Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao nodded silently, just before the chamberlain conveyed the edict urgently summoned by the king, he had already received the news from Zhu Ming's subordinates one after another. Xiao Zhongming was defeated three days ago, and Yanping County had already been lost.

"Admiral Shogun, who travels 200 miles a day, General Xiao is too anxious."

On the other side of the Luoming River, there are already the vanguard soldiers and horses of the Zhao army, and Yanzhou is really sure to fall! Fortunately, he had already led the troops to arrive, although the soldiers he led were only 80,000 foot cavalry.

The imperial capital actually had contact with the Hu people, and when Zhu Biao received the emergency military information and immediately led his troops back to Hedong, Hu Cai, who had been avoiding the war, appeared.

The cavalry group of more than 600,000 people overwhelmed the leaders of Luozhou and Hezhou, and in one fell swoop, the military commanders of Luozhou and Ye Fuheng of Hexi were firmly contained.

Hedong is the least threatened, and only Pingchuan and Shanyang counties are located north of the Luo River, and the rest of the other places are all south of the Luo River, which is best protected by the natural barrier of the Luo River. Coupled with Zhang Bangyan's water inspection department, Hedong, which has more than 100,000 steps, can be said to be impregnable.

But isn't the imperial court now planning to establish a new county in the northwest of Hebei and Luobei in the northeast of Hebei? At this time, the west and east of the river were put on the fire and barbecued.

Millions of displaced people, countless bricks and stones, materials, grain, cattle, farm tools, iron tools, if all these were 'devoured' by Hu Qi, the losses of the Northern Han Dynasty would be too great. It will be no weaker than the previous Woe of the Uweda.

So much so that most of the Tang Army's military strength in Hedong was 'spent' on this. Zhu Biao can lead only 80,000 steps to Beiping. Among them, there are 50,000 Hedong Army!

"Jiangjin must increase its troops. Otherwise, once the Zhao army crosses the river, Jiangjin will be difficult to ensure that it is comprehensive, and when the Zhao army confluents in the north and south, the 500,000 army will come straight to Beiping, and you must have a number in your heart. "An Weiguo is worthy of being a veteran on the battlefield, although he is old and has stayed in the forbidden army in recent years, his judgment of the battle situation is still very accurate.

Besides, now outside Beiping City, the only people who can lead the troops to Jiangjin without worrying are Zhu Biao and his strong army in Hedong.

"Don't worry, old general, I know the severity." Zhu Biao responded. He is not worried about guarding Jiangjin, he has 80,000 troops in hand, and he is afraid of Mao.

Although such a war would be so disparity in the eyes of outsiders.

When the two of them arrived outside the lecture hall, the main generals of the various armies gathered in Beiping had already arrived. There is one person inside, less than thirty years old, slightly inferior to Zhu Biao in length but thin, wearing a crimson official robe, standing solemnly. Compared with the other commanders around him, this person was a little more arrogant and a little less respectful. He is the 'representative' sent by Tang Wangxin - Guan Yanmei.

Seeing An Weiguo and Zhu Biao, everyone got up to say hello, only Guan Yanmei, who was arrogant, arched her hand lightly. Zhu Biao raised his eyebrows, he is really worthy of King Tang's brother-in-law, arrogant enough! One of them stood beside him, and no one spoke to him, and he didn't seem to be so disdainful.

At this time, the inner servant passed the edict, and Ji Yun ascended to the palace. When Ji Yun was on top and the generals performed the salute, the hall fell silent for a while.

Ji Yun was on top, looking at the bottom, expressionless. Zhu Biao is a person he doesn't like to see very much, but the honor of the Northern Han Dynasty is almost won by him alone, and then look at Yun Zheng who is standing behind, although his cousin is also a late riser in the army, but there is really too much difference.

His expression slowed down slightly, and he sighed before he spoke, and said in a rather helpless tone: "The land of Yanzhou has been out of control, and occasionally the city is lonely, which can't help the overall situation." When the lonely king heard that Zhao Jun had begun to move, it was very likely that he would attack Jiangjin in two ways. ”

As soon as his question came out, no one answered below, and Ji Yun could only continue to say when he saw this: "When the country is in crisis, all the secretaries are the confidants and military ministers of the lonely king, and the pillars of the Han Dynasty, so there is no need to have all kinds of scruples, it doesn't hurt to say it directly." But there is a suggestion that those who can prevent the enemy from retreating and protecting the country, the lone king will never hesitate to reward. ”

After the words fell, Yun Han got up, and everyone looked at him. Yun Han's expression was solemn, and he bowed to Ji Yun and said, "Your Majesty! In the humble opinion of the ministers, Yanzhou cannot be guaranteed, and Jiangjin is in danger. When the elite soldiers and strong generals are sent to supplement the defense, otherwise Jiangjin will be lost, Anzhou will be shaken, and the Zhao army will be able to go all the way down the river to Beiping. ”

"There are less than 200,000 soldiers in Beiping, how to divide the troops? Is it really like that? ”

"Not so! Your Majesty, Jiangjin City is tall and strong, and only a strong army is stationed in the city, which can greatly contain the north and south roads of the Zhao army. And the northwest of Anzhou and the north of Linzhou are still promising. As long as there are a few counties there, the Zhao army will not be able to pass through the food route and the supply will not be smooth. Its lone army is deep and must seek a decisive battle. And the king is determined to resist the war, and the remaining hundreds of thousands of troops in Beiping City and the people of the city are holding on, how can the Zhao army talk about the city?

At that time, the veteran soldiers of the division will be tired and trapped in the fortified city, and their morale will fall. How can our army know that it cannot turn defeat into victory? Yun Han did not say a strategy to retreat from the enemy, but such words could also make Ji Yun's heart high.

After hearing this, Ji Yun did not make a clear statement, but asked: "If the Zhao army does not fight against Jiangjin and crosses the river to the east, how can it resist?" ”

Yun Fei flashed out, and seemed to be prepared for this, and replied, "The siege is not outside. If the defender of the city will be a guinea dog, then the army outside the city can besiege it. If the defenders of the city will be dragons and tigers, there will be no stability with five times the army.

Those who are worried about the ministers are in Jiangjin. Jiangjin is lost, and Beiping is in danger. Jiangjin is not lost, and the north is as safe as a mountain. ”

A silent sneer appeared in Zhu Biao's heart.

On the second day of August, Zhu Biao led the army into Jiangjin City.

On the fifth day of the first month, Ji Yun issued an edict and promoted Zhu Biao to the governor of Anzhou, and fully presided over the military affairs of Anzhou. Cai Tingshen, Ma Chao, Yun Han, etc. all have part-time jobs, and all of them are very famous, either the governor of the capital or the edict. In contrast, although Zhu Biao's position as the governor was the first to issue an edict, his position was absolutely inferior. In the edict of more than a dozen people, Yun Zheng was unwittingly promoted to the second deputy governor of the forbidden army, the first being An Weiguo.

At this time, Zhu Biao had already arrived in Jiangjin County, and after receiving the edict, he did not say a word.

It was only ordered that Yang Yanzhang and Gao Xie's headquarters should be stationed in Yiqing County, southeast of Jiangjin County, and Anyang County, which is across the river due north.

At the same time, he gathered the remnants of the soldiers and villagers from all over the country, recruited sailors, gathered ships, and contacted the Qingjiang Gang......

On this day, on the post road in the northwest of Yiqing County, the flow of people is like a shuttle, and there is an endless stream. Regardless of gender, young and old, everyone had a sad look on their faces and carried packages of different sizes in their hands. Many people also push carts or lead livestock.

Zhao Jun is coming. Although they will not be as vicious and ferocious as Hu Gou, think about the Han army that entered the Zhongshan Kingdom at the beginning, if they can go and escape, they should go or escape. Therefore, countless people fled to the east along the official road like ants who moved.

When we reached a fork in the road, the crowd went to the left, and no one went to the right. For the right fork is to the northwest.

"Old man, why do everyone go to the left alone, but not to the right?" In the crowd, a big man asked the old woman beside him. This man is about in his early thirties, wears a dark gray straight jacket, and is very neatly organized. Although he was also carrying a package in his hand, it could be seen that he looked fierce, not like a refugee, but even more like a deserter.

The old woman glanced at him and said casually: "Look at your tone, aren't you from Jiangjin?" ”

"Oh, how did the mother-in-law see it? In the lower ancestral hometown is Jiangjin Yiqing, but when his father was young, he moved to Quzhou, and he only came to it a few times when he was thirty. This time, it was also because the soldiers in his hometown were going to get up, and he went back to his hometown to visit his relatives. The man replied with a smile.

Hearing this, the old woman secretly praised in her heart, what a kind of person. At this time, I can still think about my relatives.

"A dozen miles further on, it will turn northwest to the northwest. Now that everyone is going east, who will go back? The old woman replied.

After hearing this, the man casually glanced to the right, and the two roads looked like the same. The one that deviates to the right gives the impression that it is more eastward, and the ghost is that it is turned to the northwest. Dahan knew that it was no wonder that he would be seen through by an old woman.

"But don't I see that there are still traces of carriages and horses on the road to the right?"

The old man shook his head and said that he didn't know, but the big man was disappointed, but he heard a man's voice behind him: "It is said that there are troops passing by, but I don't know if it's true or not." After all, no one would go to see the excitement at this time. ”

When the man heard this, he turned around and saw that within ten paces behind him, five or six men in the prime of life were all looking at him.

About an hour later, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road, and just now the big man came out of the side of the road, looked around, came to the fork in the road, and stared at the official road to the right.

"To go or not to go?" I don't know when, five or six Han gathered behind him. It seems that they are all shrewd and capable people.

Dahan did not answer, but left the post road and went directly into the forest. The rest of the people looked at each other for a while, followed by them, and in an instant, they disappeared into the grove beside the road. This group is agile. Shuttling between the woods, about seven or eight miles, came to a big tent-like dirt slope, just stepped on the top of the slope, the man in front of him suddenly became short, and a few people behind him were still stunned, he turned around, his face sank: "Squat!" Someone is coming! "Poking his head out, looking north, he saw a group of Han soldiers patrolling by with spears and waist knives.

"Let's go, let's go." Someone shouted.

"Don't panic." The man looked grim, and a pair of eagle eyes swirled around, just like a wild animal hidden in the grass was still waiting for an opportunity to attack its prey. Sure enough, a moment later, another team of Han sergeants passed. Good guy, it is really a front and rear formation, and there is foreshadowing, looking at such a strict vigilance, there must be a big fish!

After waiting for a while, there was no movement, and the big man led by him looked around, then got up and waved his hand back: "Go, go up the dirt slope, but be careful!" The others didn't answer, and followed him without saying a word, or even breathing.

Climb the dirt slope, condescendingly, and the scenery of more than ten miles below the mountain break is in full view. A small river winds its way from west to east, and at dusk it is sunset, and the surface of the river is sparkling and eye-catching.

These people did not have time to enjoy the beautiful scenery of dusk and sunset, leaving two people to watch the wind, and the rest moved westward, looking far away. Surrounded by the current of the bay, a Han army camp has been built. Thousands of unreleased war horses are galloping or standing, or grazing or drinking, almost making people think that they are on the grassland outside the Saiwai.

"Liu Tou! Location here......" A man's voice came from behind, holding a map in his hand. But he was stared at by the big man and quickly lowered his head, not daring to reply.

"It seems that there is only one battalion, not like the county soldiers." The left-hand man questioned.

Dahan nodded slightly, if the county soldiers are brave, how can they be so heavily guarded, there are small teams patrolling six or seven miles away from the camp, and the seemingly scattered patrols actually greatly block the secret. Someone suggested that they come closer so that they can take a closer look. The big man was silent, and it was good to be more detailed. But if you leak your whereabouts and be alerted by the other party, it's not good.

When he was in a trance, he suddenly heard a slight sound behind him, and the big man's heart shook wildly, and he suddenly went back to look. I saw that the grass and trees were standing in a forest, and the trees were still the same, how could there be any difference.

"What's wrong?" The companion next to him asked.

"Didn't you listen?" Dahan asked rhetorically.

The accomplices all shook their heads, and the big man was stunned, feeling that he was a little nervous, and when he was about to turn around, his face suddenly tightened: "What about people!" ”

What about people? Who? The rest looked at each other, not knowing what he meant. But in an instant, a chill rose in everyone's hearts, and their puzzled faces were covered with a layer of frost. Oh no, what about the people who let the wind go? Fang Ming left the two of them to look at the wind, why was there no trace at this time! It's not dark yet, didn't you see a ghost?

"I'll take a look!" One of them pulled out a short knife from his sleeve as if by magic.

"Stop!" The big man shouted loudly, and the beast-like eyes shot with a burst of light, shooting between the mountains and forests, and at the same time, he also turned out a short knife from his body without a trace and held it in his hand. "Let's go down together—"

Both of them disappeared silently, and if they went down alone, wouldn't they send sheep into the tiger's mouth? Raise your hand to signal everyone to go down the mountain. The five men, each armed with their weapons, marched down the dirt slope on guard. After walking for a while, there was still no trace of the two companions, and for a while, I felt that the evening scene of the dusk had become extremely gloomy.

Several people were cautious and vigilant, and walked down slowly, except for the rustling of fallen leaves, no other sound could be heard. But the more this happened, the more uneasy they felt in their hearts. Even if you are killed by a wild thing and then eaten, there should be a few pieces of fur left, where is the person?

There was a sudden flutter overhead, and the people almost screamed in shock! But when I looked closely, it was a wild bird flapping its wings and flying away! Damn brute, but you're here to entertain your grandfather! I'm going to twist my nose when I'm angry.

"Where did you get a few hits? Where are you going? ”

Just when the five people breathed a sigh of relief, a cold voice sounded, which made the hearts of the five people who had just eased up suddenly tighten. But he saw a man who came out of nowhere, blocking his way. He was also in his thirties, five feet five or six inches long, wearing a short gray coat, with a knife at his waist, staring at them intently.

Seeing him dressed up like this, he didn't expect that he was not a soldier, so the leader of the big man took a short knife, stepped forward a few steps, hugged his fists and said: "The hero is polite, I am a dart who escaped from Yanzhou, and we want to take refuge in the south." I don't know the way, I get lost, I don't know how ...... hero is"

Before he could finish speaking, the other party had already waved his hand and said, "Nonsense, hand over the equipment, and follow me-"

Hearing his tone, there was no doubt about it, and several companions behind the big man raised their knives and wanted to commit murder, but they were stopped by him, and they hugged their fists again and smiled: "I really didn't want to disturb your land, and I ask the good man to forgive me." The younger brother had some money around him, so he sent the hero to buy a bowl of wine to eat. ”

"Liu Tou, are you a demon? He is just one, that is, three heads and six arms, and we are not afraid of him! The companion whispered.

But the big man turned a deaf ear and waited for the other party's reply. The man in short clothes and carrying a knife sneered and said, "Everyone understands people, I advise you to hand over your instruments and arrest them." ”

When it comes to this, it makes no sense to pretend to be any longer. Dahan took out the short knife again, stared at the other party's face and asked coldly, "If I say no, what should you do?" As soon as the words fell, behind the many big trees in the forest, a series of figures suddenly flashed. At a cursory glance, there are more than a dozen or twenty people.

At the same time as those people flashed out, one of the five people surrounded moved! As soon as he moved, the sound of breaking the sky roared! Then there was a muffled grunt, and the man fell to the ground. Upon closer inspection, a short arrow was being shot into his left chest and heart. Lying on the ground, he couldn't stop convulsing, and the gods couldn't be saved.

The big man looked around and saw that they had been surrounded, and among the other party, there were seven or eight people aiming with crossbows, and another was still loading crossbow arrows. Obviously, their two brothers were also killed or knocked unconscious by them.

"What should I do?" A companion asked in a low voice, and in his tone, he couldn't help but panic.

Hard fighting is definitely not good, if you fight with long and short weapons, you are not afraid at all. But the other party is equipped with a strong crossbow, and if he rushes to the murder, he will never be able to please him. The crossbow is too much of a headache, and although it costs a lot, it is much more deterrent than the bow.

"Dare to resist again." The gray-clothed man with the knife said in a cold tone, "Kill on the spot!" ”

Listening to the other party's tone and seeing the other party's preparation, eighty percent of them have encountered the Han army. It would even be a soldier from the nearby barracks. Thinking of this, my heart throbbed, and I immediately threw away the short knife.

"You're ......," his companion said in a lost voice.

"I'm afraid I've met the Han army, don't come nonsense! Remember, we are the darts of Yanzhou! Those who want to take refuge in the south! ”

The barracks are really the size of a battalion, and all of them are elite soldiers.

Looking at the Han army with clear swords and guns, strong breath, strict discipline and well-behaved manners, this was his only feeling when the Han was escorted into the camp.

When he came to a tent, the man in gray with his sword ordered him to wait outside, and he himself stepped into the tent. In a short time, he led one of them out. Seeing this person, the throbbing in Dahan's heart became even stronger. A kind of natural enemy-like palpitation made all four of them hold their breath instantly.

Xing Tianxiao's gaze swept across the faces of the four like knives.

"Where did you come from and where are you going?" After looking at a few people one by one, Xing Tianxiao asked.

"I have already answered before, we are Yanzhou dart passengers, and we have taken refuge in the south." Dahan's heart is good, although his breath is a little short, but his tone is still stable.

"And what is your name? Where are you from? ”

"The villain's surname is Zhou, his double name is Tianyi, he is the fourth in the master's family, and his ancestral home is Xinping County, Yanzhou." This is also a fluent answer. Xing Tian smiled and listened, but did not say anything, but asked a few others, and the other three also answered very smoothly.

"If you are a dart man, how can you not know the road? Still sneaking into the barracks and peeping into the heavy ground? What are you looking for? ”

Zhou Tianyi was still not in a hurry, and said calmly: "We are not good at learning and art, and we only dare to walk between Yandong and Yanxi. The general used this to regard our brothers as spies, which is too ...... I can't say it. ”

Xing Tianxiao sneered: "A good mouth! But, you may not know yet, don't know who I am? ”

"Dare to ask the name of the adult."

"Good intentions. But have you forgotten that just a dart player, at this point, will he still be as steady and unhurried as you? Besides, my Han family will not be as bold and reluctant as you think. Kong Wu is powerful, but he fled south to dodge, and he can die of shame. ”

"Finally, I sue you, my surname is Xing, and I also have a double name - Tianxiao. One of the top ten gold medal catchers of the six doors of the original imperial court. Catch you little mouse, do you think Xing someone will still look away? ”

After the soldiers took the person down and tortured him, Xing Tianxiao walked to the main general tent of the barracks with a little frown. "General Yang, the scouts have caught a wave of rats, it seems that the Zhao army is coming......"

The eighth day of August. The Zhao Jun North Road forward arrived in Nanjia County, Luozhou. Guo Ming came down to the city again to persuade him to surrender, but what he said had already been on the documents to announce to the world before the Zhao army sent troops, and now it has been more than half a month, and it has been boiling and everyone knows it. Nanjia County Taishou scolded Guo Ming for betraying his ancestors and betraying the country for glory, and Guo Ming was furious.

On that day, the Han army went out of the city to fight. Because all the soldiers who came were the 50,000 soldiers of the Zhao army, not its main army.

The general of Nanjia County joined the army in the battlefield when he was a teenager, and he was skilled in arching and horse, and he was experienced. First thwart the enemy's fierce flames with a strong crossbow, and then move forward with elite soldiers. The Zhao army sent cavalry to attack urgently, and the formation of Nanjia County was almost scattered, but every time it was critical, the county general galloped in the army, calling for the country. The soldiers often regained their fighting spirit and died in front of the battle. The two armies of Zhao and Han fought fiercely for a long time, and they were evenly matched, each with thousands of men and horses.

Zhao Jun Yang Guangsheng was furious and led a large army to attack. Taishou saw that the shape was severe, and he went to the front line in person, and the county general took the lead bravely, took the lead, and still did not retreat after being injured in several places. Nanjia County was indestructible for a while.

At this time, the first lieutenant of the defeated army in Yandong, who had been collected by Nanjia County, saw that the Zhao army was at its peak, and he was cowardly, and he thought it was unstoppable under fear. Xiang Taishou persuaded him to abandon the city and flee. Taishou naturally didn't listen, and he was removed from the post of leading troops. The lieutenant returned to the army, fled for profit, and after the matter was revealed, he took the risk of leading hundreds of cronies to disrupt the army, so that the whole city was in chaos. The Taishou County General was shocked and hurriedly sent men and horses to suppress it.

Although it was suppressed before dawn the next day, the confidence and morale of the Han army in the city were greatly reduced. There is no longer the tenacity of the past.

In the next two days, the big families in the city were unstable, and the soldiers had no intention of fighting, and the people were panicked for a while. Then the city gate was opened overnight, and the Zhao army entered, and the Taishou and the county general led the troops to fight to the death and did not know whether the Nanjia city gate was broken or someone opened the city.

The fall of Nanjia directly led to the great earthquake of the Beiping Imperial Court. When Ji Yun heard the news, he didn't eat a grain of rice all day, and he didn't get a drop of water, so that he was haggard and in a trance.

Because the Zhao army after occupying Nanjia, it can not only make persistent efforts to take Yuming, directly across the river from Beiping City, but also settle down and no longer need to consider the threat of Luozhou, no longer need to consider the threat of the Luoming River Water Division, the main force of the North Road went south, and let the horses go directly to Jiangjin. (To be continued)
