The second night is close to Zhongzhou (1)

The southeast end of Dongzhou 6, the county in the east of the Duzhou capital, is located in the coastal plate orogeny, in the hills that stretch for thousands of miles, it is only one of the sections, and the peaks that have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain are Zhong Xiu Lingqi, and the evergreen broad-leaved forest will always cover these mountains in a piece of tender green, which makes people look relaxed and happy.

Different from the large mountain ranges in the central and northern parts of Dongzhou, most of the hills along the coast are exquisite, and the difference between the mountains and the valleys is only two or three hundred meters, and few of them are connected together. Such terrain seems to be full of roads, in fact, everywhere is difficult to walk, if there are outsiders who are not familiar with the local area rashly enter the mountain, I am afraid that it is possible to go inside for ten days and half a month and not get out.

In this large area of mountains and forests that make it difficult to distinguish between the southeast and the northwest, there is a winding official road that has been carved out by several generations and goes all the way to the north. In between, there was a checkpoint in the middle of the official road, blocking an army of thousands of men to the south.

The first "south" flag in front of the army swayed impatiently from side to side under the light breeze of the mountain wind, which was exactly the military flag of the Southern Navy, and this official road was also the road of the Southern Navy to the East China Sea in the north. In the dream of the Nanhai team, the people led the 3,000 Nanhai Navy had completed one-third of the journey at this moment, and were anxiously waiting for the release of the Duzhou officers and soldiers guarding the pass.

Under the banner of the Southern Navy, the five dreamers watched Jia Junshi and the other two enter the checkpoint in front of them, and the war horses they sat on felt the mood of the knights on their bodies, and they also followed the anxious hoofs and snorted from time to time, expressing the impatience in their hearts.

At this time, Jia Junshi personally led the "assistant" and the "big voice" to enter the city pass and handed over a piece of paper to the hands of the general guarding the pass. "This is a document personally signed by Lord Duzhou Thorn Shi, please release it as soon as possible and provide us with the necessary food and grass supplies."

The general who guarded the pass took the official document suspiciously, read it several times, and then replied, "It's okay to let it go, but there are some troubles in terms of grain and grass." There are only 500 soldiers and horses stationed in our checkpoint, and we get supplies once a month, and there is not much food left in the pass at this time, even if they are all given to you, it is only enough for 3,000 men and horses for two days. What's more, we have to keep some rations ourselves, which can supply you for a day and a half at most. ”

"It's okay for a day and a half, let someone arrange it." Jia Junshi replied with a frown.

From the South China Sea to the East China Sea, all the way is a hilly area along the coast, and the road is difficult to travel. In order to lighten the burden of the march as much as possible, the South Korean Navy basically did not carry much grain and grass, and was ready to fight the autumn wind all the way to ask the officers and soldiers in various places for it.

Who knew that the general guarding the pass had something to say, "Even so, the procedures of your army are not complete enough." There is only this customs clearance document, but there is no detailed approval document for borrowing grain. If I give you grain just like that, how can I go and ask Cangcheng for grain and grass to make up our share? You will need to have a specific transfer approval. It's better to do this, the Cangcheng of the defeated county is two hundred miles northwest of this place, and your army can go directly to that place to borrow grain, which is more convenient. ”

Jia Junshi saw the other party's prevarication, and immediately pulled down his face, "I also have the transfer approval, how much grain and grass can you provide here, I can write more to you." ”

The general guarding the pass was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then a look of understanding appeared on his face, "It will take a week for us to go back and forth to Cangcheng to transport grain, and we must keep enough of this part of the grain for our own use, then there is only a surplus of one hundred stones to provide to you." However, it is certainly not enough to transfer this figure from Cangcheng, and it is also necessary to consider the normal loss of grain and grass in the process of transportation. You see......"

Jia Junshi naturally understood what the other party meant, he was now racing against time, so naturally he didn't have time to bargain with the other party, so he immediately waved his hand, "I'll give you a transfer order of two hundred stones, and you quickly arrange for someone to prepare the one hundred stones of grain and grass we seconded." ”

The general guarding the pass was overjoyed when he heard this, his so-called loss does exist, but it is only a figure of about ten stones, and the reason why he proposes this is to hope that the other party will know each other a little. At this time, I heard that Jia Junshi had drawn an allocation approval of 200 stones in one go, and he could undoubtedly fill his own pockets and make a big profit, so he naturally went to prepare grain and grass for the Southern Navy.

On the other hand, Jia Junshi used the excuse of returning to the army to get paperwork, and temporarily left the city with two teammates. When he returned to his teammates in the South China Sea, he immediately asked people to prepare pen and paper and began to concoct a "transfer approval" according to the other party's requirements.

The "assistant" watched Jia Junshi get a freshly baked official document of the Duzhou Mansion with three strokes and five divisions by two, and even the cinnabar head and blood red seal were complete, and he couldn't help but be amazed.

"Big voice" explained to him on the side, "This is a case, the boss is a master of forgery in the real world, and the fake passport he makes can be sold for several k, and many people who want to smuggle abroad come here." Therefore, after the leader entered the dream world, he was given the talent of 'forging documents'. ”

The "assistant" watched Jia Junshi dry the ink on the "transfer approval", and then said with admiration, "The road to the East China Sea is really difficult, if it weren't for the leader's skill, if we brought enough grain and grass, the trip would have been extended for at least five days." According to my recalculations, if all goes well, we should be able to reach the outside of the East Prison Pass on the last day of Thursday night. At that time, after resting in place for one night, we can launch a general attack as soon as we come up on Saturday, and then on Saturday and Sunday, two consecutive nights, a full month of Dongzhou time, we will carry out a large-scale plundering of the East China Sea territory, which will hurt its roots."

Jia Junshi also stood up at this time, shook the freshly made paperwork, and made sure that the ink was dry, before stuffing it into his arms, "I'm used to thinking about all the difficulties ahead, otherwise this time it will really be troublesome." ”

The "assistant" turned his head to look north, "I don't know what the situation of the Eastern Navy is in Tyrant County at this time, I hope the mob army can cause them some trouble."

The dividing line between dream and reality

Re-entering the dream of power, Huang Zhi's mood was still low, and he looked at the end of the northern plain in a daze, and he didn't care that there were still many villages that he hadn't visited.

Sima Fuqiang, as the captain of the East China Sea, had to talk to him at this time, "Still thinking about Zhang He?" Not really. Let's not talk about whether this 'history' really exists, even if it does, Zhang He is already a person who died 2,000 years ago. No matter how inauthentic my ancestors are, it's a thing of the past. What are you still clinging to? ”

"I know, I know. It's just that I feel uncomfortable, and I feel a kind of loss of idol disappointment. Huang Zhi sighed deeply and said the truest feeling in his heart.

I have seen too much life and death in the dream world, and Zhang He's battle for death is not too sad to say, and it will always pass. What really made him uncomfortable was the disappointment of Sima Yi, in his heart, a great military strategist fell from the altar in an instant, and became a person who stabbed his comrades in the back, which was really unacceptable to him.

Sima Fuqiang sat beside him, "Don't be stupid, there is no absolute good, bad, right or wrong in this world, especially in the Three Kingdoms era, everyone is participating in the war to achieve their goals, and no one is absolutely clean." Although Sima Yi's method of excluding dissidents is a bit excessive, in fact it is not an isolated case, and it can only be said that some people do less, and some people do more. ”

Huang Zhi let out a long breath again, no longer said anything, and accepted the captain's consolation.

Sima Fuqiang pulled him up, "Let's go, you still have a lot of things to do." If we can get rid of all the villages in the northern plains, maybe we can take the city without blood. ”

"Oh, there is such a good thing" Huang Zhi finally raised his interest when he heard this, and subconsciously looked in the northwest direction.

Five days passed quickly, and the Donghai team quickly passed through the villages in the northern plains, and through Huang Zhi's "social" skills, they quickly won over the hearts of the people. Time was pressing, and the dreamer did not have time to return to the Storm Kun Pass to meet the rest of the Eastern Navy, but sent someone to inform them to go directly to the city to rendezvous.

On the seventh day, the Dream Man and the Eastern Navy met smoothly at the western end of the Northern Plains.

The northern plain of Bangxian County showed a trend of gradually shrinking in the east and narrow in the west, and when it came to the outside of Banggen City, the width of the plain from north to south was only less than 20 miles. The city is bordered by mountains in the north, and a large river flows into the northern plains from west to east in the south, but it is impossible to build a twenty-mile-long wall to think that the western barrier is really impossible, so the Duzhou Mansion only built this storm city at the end of the northern plains, stuck in the center of this passage that is not very spacious, deterring the north and the south, east and west.

Generally speaking, the geographical advantage of this city is far less than that of Xiongguan Pass, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so the garrison here is more numerous and more powerful than the other two. Combined with the six-meter-high city wall, this city is much more difficult to deal with than the previous two levels and the low Fengfeng Cang for the Dream Man and the Eastern Navy.

After deducting the 1,000 cavalry teams that had been annihilated at the Storm Earthquake Pass, the Tyrannomy City at this time still had as many as 1,500 people, which was not inferior to the incoming Eastern Navy, which was really a difficult bone to gnaw.

Sima Fuqiang had been here a few days ago, of course, while Huang Zhi was busy lobbying the villages on the plain. After reading it, he came to the conclusion that there was really no hole in this city to exploit except for a strong attack, so he finally thought of this way of persuasion.

And this needs to be handled by a negotiator like Huang Zhi.

Today, the East China Sea team not only brought the East China Sea with them, but also brought the gentry and old men from the villages near the city, and these people will cooperate with Huang Zhi's persuasion work.

The defender of Tyranny City is a member of a local noble clan like Tyranny Cang, and with the elders of the family cooperating with Huang Zhi's work, it is not difficult to persuade the other party to change the banner.

After some haggling, Huang Zhi and Sima Fuqiang agreed to many of each other's requests, such as retaining the formation of the defenders of Tyranno, such as retaining their military autonomy. The same party also agreed to give up the name of the mob army, and changed the banner to be reorganized into the Genzi battalion of the Eastern Navy.

And this Genzi battalion with a scale of 1,500 people has also become the largest establishment of the Eastern Navy, but the dream man's control over it is still quite limited. But this is nothing in the eyes of Huang Zhi and Sima Fuqiang, because the Eastern Navy does not have enough troops to stay in the northern plains, and after all, it still has to rely on the local people of Tyrant County to organize the autonomy of the militia.

Speaking of which, because of the previous wars, the Eastern Navy wiped out nearly 7,000 living forces of the mob army, and these dead were all local soldiers, in fact, it is impossible for the aborigines of the tyrant county to be without resentment. However, casualties in the clash between the two armies were inevitable, and the Eastern Navy had never attacked the common people, so the awe in the hearts of the aborigines of the county was far greater than the hatred.

The dead have died, but the living continue to live, and the dream man promises them a better life and a high degree of autonomy, and between guns and roses, the aborigines of Tyrant County finally choose to compromise. What's more, they also have their own calculations in their hearts, the Eastern Navy will not leave the garrison army, and the northern plains are actually still in their own hands, but they only respect the East China Sea in name, and it is a reason to be a vassal with Fanbang.

With the change of the defenders of the city, except for the violent departure of the anti-state army in the east, which was 500 miles away, the rest of the plains were already under the rule of the East China Sea.

In order to show their sincerity, the East China Sea team left the army outside the city, but the dream man himself took Li Erhu and a few brave men who were "trapped in the camp" into the city. The guard, who had already turned into the commander of the Genzi Battalion of the Eastern Navy, saw that his nominal boss was so courageous, but he was a little impressed, so he led everyone to patrol the city.

The group walked half a circle to the West Gate Tower, and the guard pointed to a larger plain in the distance and said, "There is the vast Zhongzhou Plain, adjacent to us is Zhongzhou Mengxian, west of Mengxian is Xiongxian, north is Zhongyuan Town, and more than 700 miles to the northwest is the location of the Dongzhou Imperial Court known as Kui County." ”

"That's where the imperial court is located, it's only more than seven hundred miles, so close," Huang Zhi muttered.

Sima Fuqiang also looked into the distance wistfully, "Yes, it's so close"

"Do you want to take the opportunity to kill the past? Haven't you two been looking forward to going to the Imperial Court one day? Zhang Wei asked in the ears of the two.

The other two stiffened, looking at the distance with a little heart.
