"Do you want to cross the navy?" couldn't understand Zheng Ziming's thoughts, Hu Yancong shouted and reminded. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoΔ8Δ1 Chinese Δ "That broken place is small and poor, and there are not even a few people!"

The Henghai Jiedu was initially established in the Later Tang Dynasty, with jurisdiction over Cangzhou, Jingzhou, Dezhou, and Dizhou. It seems to be quite wide, but Cangzhou, the northernmost part, has now been divided into the territory of Liao. Jing and De Erzhou, which are due west and southwest, were also forcibly occupied by Gao Yanhui by Yingmo Jiedu. As for Dizhou, which is located south of the Yellow River, it has long been swallowed by Fu Yanqing, and it is impossible for ordinary people to get it back.

Therefore, today's Henghai Navy can only govern the north of the Yellow River, the east of the canal, and the south of Zhangshui, which is only the size of a palm. Under the rule, the population is scarce, all industries are withered, and the eastern seaside area is still a large salt that cannot be cultivated, and it is not suitable for human survival at all. (Note 1)

In those days, there were not enough men, and there were not enough taxes and soldiers. There are not enough soldiers and horses, and no matter how big the official is, he is still a paper-paste Bodhisattva. As soon as the wind and rain came, it was immediately shattered.

Hu Yancong was angry, and he couldn't watch Zheng Ziming dig a pit for himself. However, the latter didn't appreciate it at all, shook his head, and said indifferently: "There are benefits to breaking, at least others won't always worry about it." If the imperial court really handed over a piece of anointed land to me, then I would be even more worried!"

"Alas!" Hu Yancong stopped talking and sighed loudly.

What the other party said was the truth, and he couldn't refute it at all. Now after all, the emperor's surname is Liu Bu Shi, with Zheng Ziming's life experience, the bigger the official is, the more soldiers and horses in his hands, I am afraid that the closer he is to death. However, he hid in Cangzhou far away, hung up an empty rank of envoy to the navy, but had no catties of grain and grass in his hands and few soldiers, but he would live a more peaceful life.

"Anyway, it's all in the future, the two of us can only say a general goal now, whether we can achieve it or not depends on the attitude of the imperial court!" Zheng Ziming himself is very open. Seeing that Hu Yancong was a little depressed, he took the initiative to comfort him.

"Damn, these days, good people can't do it!" Hu Yancong slammed into the cold air, muttering curses in his mouth.

Previously, he was afraid that after winning the battle, he would not be able to reap enough benefits for himself. That's why he couldn't wait to use various means to urge Zheng Ziming to make the future income distribution clear with the two of them in advance. And now, the reward he was expecting was in hand, and it was much more than expected, and his heart was uncomfortable. I just felt empty, as if something was missing. But what is missing is not clear in words.

In the midst of the panic, a long series of violent drums suddenly sounded in his ears, "Knock knock, knock knock, knock knock ......", piercing the clouds and cracking stones, and the earth shook the mountains.

"There is a situation!" Hu Yancong suddenly couldn't worry about Zheng Ziming anymore, jumped up, took three steps and ran towards the heights.

Such a violent drum beat is definitely not something that two or three people can play. And simply with the drum as military music, for hundreds of years, there is only one Youzhou.

Yu Yang Mo came agitatedly, breaking the song of neon clothes and feathers. Now who controls Yuyang's hometown and has Youyan's elite soldiers, apart from the Han brothers, who can there be?

"Brother Hugh is going to panic, the voice is still far away from here. If you want to check the enemy's situation, you just have to follow me!" Zheng Ziming had already heard the sound of war drums played by the people of Youzhou, but his ears were calloused. Unhurriedly, he took a few steps forward, pulled the cuffs of Hu Yancong's robe, and whispered.

"Most of my soldiers and horses haven't had time to arrange for someone to be transferred over!" Hu Yancong glared at him and said loudly. "In case the surnamed Han refuses to go to the camp to join up with the other poisonous bait, and directly attacks the ......"

"Han Kuangmei made an appointment with me that night three days later, and it was less than two days later!" Zheng Ziming still looked confident, shaking his head with a smile.

"What credibility can a family slave have?!" Hu Yancong didn't believe that Han Kuangmei would keep his promise, frowned, and reminded loudly.

For the sake of glory and wealth, I don't even want the Han surname left by my ancestors. Most of the males in the clan had to change their surnames to Jerod. This kind of person is strange if he has a bottom limit in doing things!

"It's not about credibility, but he thinks that he has the chance to win, so he will behave more or less gentlemanly!" Zheng Ziming smiled and continued to add unhurriedly.

"Nonsense! There have been people suffering one after another, how could Han Kuangmei still underestimate you!"

"He didn't underestimate me, but he thought he had seen through the reality of the entire Central Plains!"

"Then he's looking for his own death!"

"I hope he's been so confused......"

The brothers were talking nonsense to relieve the tension in Hu Yancong's heart, and at the same time hurried away. After a short time, they came to the top of the mountain on the north side of Lijiazhai, and climbed the ice wall along the steps covered with straw.

On the mountain road more than two miles away from the ice wall, dense black battle flags had been erected. The Youzhou fresh force of the brigade walked along the mountain road, formed a formation under the battle flag, lined up, raised shields, and erected long and short weapons, like a nest of migrating centipedes, showing their claws and fangs in the sunlight without the slightest heat.

"You, you also said that Han Kuangmei will be a decent gentleman!" Hu Yancong ran out of breath, put his hands on his knees, bent down, and gasped and questioned.

His eldest son Hu Yanzan and daughter Hu Yanyun also ran to the ice city. Immediately after the two, there are a large number of bandit-born generals. Looking at the spears and tide-like heads under the hillside, one by one, their faces quickly became solemn, and white mist faintly rose in the palm of the hand holding the handle of the knife at his waist.

"It's just a demonstration, they won't attack right away!"

"That's all there is to it, as if it can scare anyone!"

"A dog that bites doesn't bark, and a dog that barks doesn't bite!"

"If you take a step forward, I'm worried that I can't find the target!"

"I didn't even have a straw rope ready, but I wanted to see how they crawled over the ice......

Without waiting for Zheng Ziming to speak, Tao Dachun, Li Shun, Tao Yong, Zhou Xin and others comforted the newly arrived heroes of Taihang Mountain.

War is the best whetstone. has fought with the Youzhou army so many times in a row, and in Lijiazhai, Zheng Ziming is not the only one who has grown up. From the core backbone to the ordinary villagers, they are completely the same as before.

"Indeed, a dog that bites people never barks indiscriminately!" Hu Yancong's face burned when he heard this, and he forcibly straightened his waist and said in the tone of the big guy. "It scared your grandfather Huyan a lot, and almost broke his old waist. Come on, call me, no, scare me back. Bluff, not only will!"

"Yes!" Hu Yanzan and other Taihang heroes have long been accustomed to the lack of shape of their own big leaders, so they all agreed and gave up their orders.

However, what exactly should be done to bluff, they do not know. On the ice wall, the brothers of Li Jiazhai and the robes of Taihang Mountain all add up to no more than a thousand people. Outside the ice wall, the black-pressed Youzhou soldiers were overwhelming.

"Stand up, stand up, stand in a row!" Hu Yancong had already made up his mind, first greeted Zheng Ziming with his eyes, and then, waving his arms, began to deploy troops, "Take Lao Tzu as the center, stand in a row." Hold your chest up, look up, inhale, and prepare to shout with Lao Tzu......"

The last bit of panic in the hearts of the Taihang heroes was also stirred up by Lao Buxiu Hu Yancong. Quickly form a team on the ice wall, stand up straight, and adjust your breathing.

"Straight lady thief, if there is a kind, you will kill and die!" Hu Yancong slammed his throat and shouted at the Youzhou army that was showing off his might at the foot of the opposite hillside.

Hu Yanzan and the others didn't think about it at all, and immediately tore open their throats and repeated vigorously, "Straight mother thief, if you have a kind, you will kill and die!"

"Straight lady thief, if there is a kind, you will be killed!"

"Straight lady thief, if there is a kind, you will be killed!"

"Straight lady thief, if there is a kind, you will be killed!"

......

The fierce shouts reverberated back and forth among the mountains. In an instant, a nameless karmic fire was ignited. More than 10,000 pairs of eyes under the hillside were burned red.

Note 1: During the Five Dynasties, the estuary of the Yellow River was more northerly than it is now, and Laizhou Bay had not yet been formed. Many areas along the Bohai Bay, including present-day Tianjin, were under the sea.
