Chapter 534, 535 Ganzhou Beacon Fire (two chapters in one)

Gao Huaigu, the chief soldier of Ganzhou, was the person of the Queen Mother, and King Rong fled to Jiuquan through Ganzhou Wei with the remnants of the defeated army.

Ganzhou is an important town on the nine sides, and the soldiers are strong and strong, but they failed to stop the thousands of remnants of King Rong, which is also the reason why Zhanhuai stayed in Xi'an for half a year the year before last.

Ganzhou and Jiuquan are the Silk Road must pass through the checkpoints, more than half a year ago, the great eunuch Wang Gui and a woman around King Rong, quietly went to Ganzhou, and Gao Huaigu's henchman Chang Shiqian had a secret meeting, talking about the matter of Guan Yin, and finally broke up unhappily.

In this dynasty, the territory under the jurisdiction of Shaanxi and Gansu is vast, in addition to a number of important towns in the nine sides, first there is Xining Wei, and then set up four guards outside the fortress, after the first emperor funeral, the power of the general army in Shaanxi and Gansu is getting bigger and bigger, at that time the emperor has not yet been in power, the queen mother's hand can not reach the northwest at all, and, the Tartars from time to time to invade the border, the treasury is empty, the queen mother and the cabinet mentioned the war and was frightened, each David wants to fight, it is necessary to use silver, helplessly, weigh the pros and cons, the queen mother first issued an order to abolish the Shaanxi capital division and the Gansu capital division, each guard is governed by the general military government, and then, In order to supplement the military needs and let the major military offices ask the imperial court for less silver, they also handed over the customs silver that should have been collected by the state capitals to the various Davids.

In addition to the Silk Road, there are Yinba Ancient Road, Lingzhou Ancient Road, etc., enter the territory of Shaanxi and Gansu, the more northwest, the more checkpoints, these checkpoints are more than one or two hundred miles apart, less than ten miles apart, whether it is a large caravan or a small trader, all have to pay the silver to the checkpoint, the more goods, the more silver will be paid.

Each general military office has apportionment to the subordinate guards, and the guards handed over the silver according to the apportionment, and the rest went into their own small treasury, and when the silver arrived at the general military office, there was no return, and the court wanted to get it from them, which was really a fool's dream.

As the saying goes, the poor are rich and the military are rich, and the generals have more ways to come to the silver than the civil officials, but for the generals who rule the nine sides, such as Zhanhuai and Gao Huaigu, the silver will never be enough.

For example, Zhanhuai, the imperial court still owes him hundreds of thousands of military salaries and pension silver, although there is a lot of water in this number, but it is also true that he owes a lot of silver.

If Zhanhuai wants to fight, he must appease the soldiers who followed him from birth to death, and the military salary and pension silver of the imperial court have not been in place for a long time, of course he can't wait, and he has to find a way to get these silver by himself and send it to the soldiers.

Therefore, these commanders with heavy armies were all short of silver, and Guan Yin became their main source of silver.

Ganzhou and Jiuquan are both places that must pass through the Silk Road, compared to other trade routes, the Silk Road has the most caravans, and these two places are convenient and the most fertile places.

Now Jiuquan is occupied by King Rong, if it weren't for the fact that the imperial court did not allow him to continue to send troops, and there was a high nostalgia in the middle, Zhanhuai would never let King Rong grab the fat of Jiuquan.

If you want to fight Jiuquan, you have to pass through Ganzhou, the soldiers and horses in Ganzhou are far better than Jiuquan, Zhanhuai has long wanted to take these two places as his own, and now the Tartars are in the territory, it is a good opportunity.

Since Dorha was captured, the Tartars have become a plate of scattered sand, and the tribes of the big and small are fighting for each other, among which the tribe of Jiahai is the most powerful, but it cannot be compared with the Dorha of the year.

As Huo Roufeng said, Duo Erha is Zhanhuai's defeated subordinate, and Jia Hai is not qualified to compete with Zhanhuai.

In other words, Jia Hai is not even qualified to be a defeated subordinate to Zhanhuai.

This is not Huo Roufeng's nonsense, she has lived in Tartara for a while, and she knows the situation of various departments in Tartar, although she belittles Jiahai, but she is not exaggerating.

Jiahai is a safe person, he saw with his own eyes that Duoerha became a prisoner of the Han people from the overlord of the grassland, and he was inferior to Duoerha in both military strength and financial resources, and he would never send troops hastily.

Last year, the Tusa tribe looted several Han caravans, tasted the sweetness, and had long wanted to come over to grab food in winter, but seeing that other tribes were not moving, the Tusa tribe could only endure and endure. As the weather got colder and colder, and the food became scarce, they couldn't help it anymore and plundered the villages and towns near the border.

This kind of thing is commonplace in the Nine Sides, and today's Zhanhuai does not need to personally lead troops over, but Zhanhuai has other ideas, and the lesson to the Tusa Department is just a pretense.

Huo Roufeng sent Zhanhuai away and returned to the racecourse the next day. Within a few days, someone from Yulin sent a letter over, and Xie Sicheng, who had asked Cha, had news.

Zhanhuai explained when he left, as long as he found out the news, he would inform Huo Roufeng, and Huo Roufeng would decide, so as soon as the news from Yulin arrived, Huo Roufeng would know.

Xie Sicheng lives in the Ziyun Temple outside Yulin City, although the Purple Cloud Temple is not full of incense, but as long as you donate some incense money, you can stay in the temple, which is much cheaper than the inn, and many people will live there in order to save money.

If it weren't for Zhanhuai's painting to make people look like secretly searching, no one would have noticed the pilgrims in the Purple Cloud Temple.

Huo Roufeng asked, "How many people did he bring?" ”

"He is the only one in the Purple Cloud Temple, and other places have not yet been found."

Huo Roufeng has been to the Purple Cloud Temple, and the last time she and Zhanhuai saw Wu Baozhong in the Purple Cloud Temple.

She walked around the house a few times and said to the visitor: "Don't startle the snake, keep an eye on him first, and let people come and send me letters every day." ”

Huo Roufeng didn't know where Xie Sicheng came to Yulin, but as far as Xie Sicheng's identity was concerned, he must have a plan for coming to Yulin.

met Xie Sicheng in Tatara at the beginning, and later found out that Xie Sicheng had gone to see Jiahai, but unfortunately Jiahai didn't see him, and let people arrest him.

At that time, Huo Roufeng suspected that Xie Sicheng was planning a big thing, and now that Xie Sicheng has come to Jiubian, things are even more difficult.

But it was only two days, Xie Sicheng left Ziyunguan, and the people who were watching him followed him all the way to the west, and it turned out to be in the direction of Ganzhou.

Huo Roufeng was taken aback, and told Zhanhuai about the flying pigeon overnight.

Said that the take-off pigeon passed the book, Zhanhuai brought from Fujian 50,000 elite soldiers among the people who specialize in domesticating pigeons, when Zhanhuai left Yulin, he left a few for Huo Roufeng, and Huo Roufeng brought the horse farm.

Since Xie Sicheng had already left Yulin, the next thing would be handed over to Zhanhuai, Huo Roufeng counted the days every day, and just waited for the first month, she continued to recruit soldiers.

In a blink of an eye, the second dragon raised its head in February, and the news of the border pass came, and the Tartars and horse thieves colluded with each other, so Zhanhuai finished beating the Tartars, and chased the horse thieves to the direction of Ganzhou.

Huo Roufeng raised her eyebrows lightly, horse thief? Zhan Huai still has kung fu to suppress bandits?

Ha, I don't know if it was Gao Huaigu or King Rong who was killed in the end.

Immediately afterwards, the news was one after another, first the horse thief and Zhanhuai were short-handed, and then there was good news, Zhanhuai repelled the Tartars, and killed 5,000 horse thieves.

Huo Roufeng almost laughed, there were still five thousand horse thieves in the land of the nine sides, Gao Huaigu was just an ornament.

Xiaozhan, you are too exaggerated.

Huo Roufeng guessed correctly, of course these five thousand people are not real horse thieves, not only are they not horse thieves, but they are also not Gao Huaigu's people.

These are all Tartars who have been chased and killed by Zhanhuai all the way.

In other words, the Tartars, who should have been driven back to the desert a long time ago, were forced to Ganzhou Road by Zhanhuai's slight tricks.

Whether it is a tartar or a horse thief, Gao Huaigu sent people to know at a glance.

Knowing that Zhanhuai had brought the Tartars here, and claimed that he was chasing and killing horse thieves, Gao Huaigu was so angry that he was half dead.

It was the first time he had seen such a faceless and skinless one.

A small group of thousands of Tartars, where is it worth showing his arms and personally leading the troops.

And Zhanhuai not only drove away the Tartars, but also fought the horse thieves again to benefit the people.

General Zhanwu, you have really worked hard.

Gao Huaigu gritted his teeth in anger, Zhanhuai fought the battle to his doorstep, what else could he do?

Helping the Tartars to show their arms?

Since Zhanhuai has made such a move, he has already left ten or eight back roads, are you still afraid that he will join forces with the Tartars?

Besides, unless he is in the water of his brain, with his nine-sided army of 20,000 troops, does he still have to cooperate with the Tusa Department who can't get on the table?

But Zhanhuai was outside the city, and regarded the Ganzhou section of the Silk Road as a battlefield, and now the caravans passing by here were all frightened, so they could only hide in the city of Ganzhou for a while, but this battle could not be fought for a day, and these caravans could not leave the city for a day.

Zhanhuai brought 30,000 people, and there were only 5,000 Tartars, but Zhanhuai forcibly encircled the Tartars.

Only the circle does not hit, so it is consumed.

The gate of Ganzhou City was closed, and Gao Huaigu stood on the city tower, looking at the flag fluttering not far away, as if he saw Zhanhuai's smug smiling face.

Gao Huaigu was so angry that he threw away the clairvoyance in his hand, and said to his general: "Prepare the cannon, don't think that Lao Tzu is easy to bully, if you really force Lao Tzu to be in a hurry, you will shoot the little rabbit cub who is in Zhanhuai!" ”

Confidant Chang Shiqian hurriedly persuaded him: "General, don't be impulsive, according to the student, Zhanhuai is going to force you to make a move, you can't fall for his tricks." ”

Gao Huaigu gritted his teeth, climbed down the city tower, and there were already seven or eight staff members waiting for him under the city tower.

It turned out that the caravan trapped in the city had chosen a representative and wanted to meet him.

Gao Huaigu was about to be annoyed to death, how could he be in the mood to meet these businessmen.

He refused angrily, got on the horse, and went to the General Soldier's Mansion, he scolded as he walked, from Zhanhuai to the son of Zhanchen, and from Zhanchen to Zhan Yi of the Min Kingdom, and then scolded all the eighteen generations of the ancestors of the Zhan family.

The Queen Mother really has long hair and short knowledge, why did she let Zhanhuai lead the troops to fight King Rong back then, now it's okay, it's clear that it is to raise a tiger for trouble, King Rong is finished, and Zhanhuai has raised this tiger.

Now he actually dares to bully him Gao Huaigu, do you really think that he is always bullying, or do you think that the entire Northwest has changed his surname?

Gao Huaigu returned to the General Soldier's Mansion and threw more than a dozen teacups in one go, he was especially angry, picked up the horsewhip and said to his subordinates: "Pass the order, gather all the soldiers and generals in the city, and go out of the city with me!" ”

Gao Huaigu had 20,000 soldiers and horses, but most of these soldiers and horses were outside the city, and the strength in the city was only 3,000.

Now that he is forced to the door of Zhanhuai's house, he has to mobilize the soldiers and horses outside the city, and he has to cross the encirclement of the Tartars and Zhanhuai, so he can only use the three thousand people in the city.

The more Gao Huaigu thought about it, the more angry he became, Zhan Huai where was the encirclement of the Tartars, it was obvious that he had cut off Gao Huaigu's troops.

The three thousand men and horses were quickly assembled, and Gao Huaigu and his people were about to leave the city.

But as soon as he reached the gate of the city, he saw the caravan again, one of whom was a young man of about twenty years and about twenty, who had crossed the crowd and stood in the middle of the road.

Gao Huaigu's army had to stop, and Gao Huaigu was angry and scolded
