It was late at night.

The warm candlelight gave Zhang's pale and haggard face a faint layer of blood.

Zhang Chu was still sitting in front of her mother's bed, holding her old man's hand, and constantly sending her blood.

Zhiqiu came in with the food, put it on the dining table, walked behind him lightly, hugged his head into his arms, and gently helped him press his temples.

"Master, go sleep for a while, you haven't closed your eyes for two days and two nights, and my mother is here to help you guard it. ”

Zhang Chu patted her Hao wrist: "I'm fine, it's late at night, you go to sleep, you're still pregnant with a child." ”

Zhiqiu's body slowly leaned forward, hugged him, and rested his smooth chin on the top of his head: "It doesn't matter, the child must also want to guard his grandmother." ”

Zhang Chu gently squirted out a "um" word from his nasal cavity.

Time is quiet, and a family of four is nestled against each other......

I don't know if the word "child" stimulated Zhang's on the bed, or the word "grandmother" stimulated her, Zhang Chu suddenly felt the old man's hand move.

He hurriedly got up and took a closer look, and found that the old mother's eyes were trembling......

He turned and strode out the door, shouting as he went, "Come on, call all the doctors, quick!"

......

Zhang, whose long hair was full of silver needles, woke up slowly, staring blankly at the top of the mosquito net with dim eyes, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Zhang Chu stood behind the doctors, watching his mother wake up, and didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of startling his mother who had just returned from the ghost gate.

After a long time, Zhang called softly: "Chu'er." ”

"Hey. ”

Zhang Chu stepped forward with an arrow, squeezed away a group of quacks surrounding his mother, and held his mother's hand tightly: "Mother, my son is here." ”

Zhang turned his head and looked at Zhang Chu, but he didn't have focus: "Chu'er, my mother seems to have seen your father and your eldest brother just now, and they are standing at the door of the old mansion, waiting for my mother to come home......

Zhang Chu's tears fell suddenly, he tried his best to suppress his emotions, but as soon as he opened his mouth, his voice was filled with crying: "Mother, my father is accompanied by my eldest brother, and my son is only you......"

As soon as they heard his voice, even those old men who were detained by Zhang Chu in Zhang's mansion and had 120,000 dissatisfaction with him in their hearts were a little tearful.

At the same time, they were also glad in their hearts, the old lady had woken up, and Zhang Chu had no reason to kill them?

Before they could be happy, Zhang Chu suddenly wiped away a handful of tears, stood up and looked at them: "Among you, who has the best medical skills?"

Many old doctors were shocked, and they all looked at Dr. Xu in Yong'an Hall on Qinghua Street.

Dr. Xu was shocked: You old people are not authentic!

Many old men have sinister eyes: It's all caused by your poor medical skills, who do you not carry this pot?

Zhang Chu ignored their eye contact, and he could have seen it in the past few days, these famous doctors in Jintian Mansion may be different in their respective fields, but their medical skills are almost the same, not too top-notch, and not too mediocre.

"In order to thank you for rescuing my mother, I will send you a message for free: The Beiban has crossed the Yongming Pass, and the generals will be under the city of Jintianfu in the near future, so you can find a way to escape for your lives...... This news is only known to you, who dares to tell irrelevant people that they weigh their own necks, and whether they are hard enough. ”

"As for Dr. Xu......"

Zhang Chu looked at Dr. Xu, who was confused, and shouted, "Big Bear!"

"The subordinates are here!"

"Send someone to Qinghua Street, bring Dr. Xu's family into the house, and move south with us in the near future!"

"Yes, Master Chu!"

This time, it was replaced by those old men with a confused face.

Doctor Xu was stunned for a long time, and then he was ecstatic: Let you old people dump the pot, this time you smashed it, right?

......

Li Zheng rushed back to Jintian Mansion on the day of the 15th Lantern Festival, wrapped in a bloody body.

No one knows how many people he killed.

He himself didn't know how many people he had killed this time.

But everyone knows that without Zhang Chu, this guy is a lawless, God dares to try to hand over the knife to see if he can make a hole!

He returned to the city and brought a very bad news to Zhang Chu.

Quadruple helmsman.

"What? You said that the border of Xuanbei Prefecture has been blocked by the Xiliang Iron Cavalry?"

Zhang Chu stood up abruptly and asked sharply.

Li Zheng: "This is the news I got last night from a caravan that took the line between Beiyin County and Xiliangzhou, and it should be correct." ”

Zhang Chu looked at the mule, ignoring the presence of Zhang Meng and Yang Changan, and asked, "Why haven't you received the news?"

The mule also knew what this news meant, and a little sweat suddenly oozed from his forehead: "The news should still be on the way to AllHeaven......

Li Zheng nodded his head to relieve him of the siege: "The people under the mule must not be fast, as soon as I learned the news, I threw down a large group of people and horses to rush to Jintianfu, and killed three horses along the way, before rushing to Jintianfu when the city gate was closed today." ”

Zhang Chu wandered around the lobby with his hands behind his back in confusion.

Xiliangzhou's blockade of the border of Xuanbei Prefecture was like drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle, completely disrupting the southward relocation plan of the Silian Gang.

At the same time, Xiliangzhou blocked the border of Xuanbei Prefecture, which confirmed from the side that the situation in Northern Xinjiang had deteriorated to the point that the court officials at the state pastoral level felt that Xuanbei Prefecture could no longer control the situation!

Dali implements the state pastoral system, and the functions and powers of the state pastor in Kyushu are separated, and there is no subordinate relationship between them.

This kind of leveling system is most likely to cause the current situation: everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door, and does not care about the frost on the tiles of others.

After all, no one likes a pig teammate......

Therefore, Xiliangzhou blocked the border of Xuanbei Prefecture, Zhang Chu was very surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was reasonable.

"How many families are left in the city?"

Zhang Chu turned his head and asked the mule.

Mule: "Not much, not more than a thousand, except for the family members here." ”

The six people in the hall are the highest level of the Quadruple Gang, and there are too many eyes staring at them, as soon as their family members move, the county government will immediately know that the Quadruple Gang wants to flee south, and no one will be able to leave at that time!

"How many people are left in the city?"

Zhang Chu asked again.

The mule thought for a while and replied: "About three thousand, almost all the brothers of Qinglong Hall and Vermilion Bird Hall have left the city, and now in the city, except for the brothers of the White Tiger Hall and the Xuanwu Hall, the rest are all the brothers of the White Tiger Hall and the Xuanwu Hall who have gathered from the eight rudders of the district and county to the general rudder, and they are all good men who can cut people with a knife!"

Yang Changan, who had been sitting in the hall and had not opened his mouth, heard this, and his heart couldn't help but stir up a burst of turbulence.

The news from Xiliangzhou, why should Luo Dashan receive it?

Also, what are the eight rudders of the district and county?

The people of the Vermilion Bird Hall and the Qinglong Hall have all withdrawn from the city, where can the Quadruple Gang gather 3,000 brave gangs who can fight and kill?

Why I don't know at all.

Am I a fake law enforcement elder?

He looked at the other three hall masters in the hall, but found that none of them had any doubts on their faces.

Obviously, they know all these things!

Only he doesn't know anything!

Yang Changan once thought that he already knew everything about the Silian Gang!

As long as Zhang Chu has any problems, he can easily replace him, and the dove occupies the magpie's nest to control the Quadruple Gang!

But it wasn't until this moment that he suddenly realized that he didn't know anything about the Quadruple Gang......

"Where did the first group of families who left the city go?"

Zhang Chu didn't have the time to care about Yang Changan's complicated mental journey now, so he asked another question.

Mule: "According to the itinerary, the first batch of family members who left the city have traveled to the vicinity of Zhaoqu County, Beiyin County. ”

Zhang Chu's wandering footsteps stopped suddenly, and shouted: "Come on, take the map of Xuanbei Prefecture!"

Not long after, a Brother Xuanwu Tang brought a three-foot square cowhide map and a bookcase to the lobby.

The six people in the hall stepped forward and spread out the cowhide map together.

Of course, the map cannot be the kind of standard ruler map with latitude and longitude, but just a brief map that marks the distribution of the county capitals and counties in Xuanbei Prefecture.

Zhang Chu looked at the map.

The first batch of families of the Silian Gang who withdrew from Jintian Mansion had already walked more than half of the distance, and if Xiliang Prefecture had not blocked the border of Xuanbei Prefecture, they would have been able to enter the territory of Xiliang Prefecture in another six or seven days.

But now......

Zhang Chu pinched his chin and pondered for a while, and asked, "Li Zheng, mark the three bandit villages you went to encircle and suppress this time." ”

Li Zheng picked up the charcoal pencil according to his words, searched for a while on the map, and drew three circles.

One of the circles is very close to Zhaoqu County, looking at the distance, but it is only a day or two away.

Zhang Chu looked at it, and didn't rush to say what he thought, but continued to ask: "Among the three bandit villages, which one is the most dangerous?"

In order to deal with the encirclement and suppression of the government, the bandits usually choose the base area on the terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and take advantage of the location to fight against the officers and soldiers.

Li Zheng thought for a moment and reached out a little on the map.

Zhang Chu glanced at it, and it happened to be the circle that was very close to Zhaoqu County.

"Tell me about the specifics of this cottage?"

Zhang Chu's brows furrowed.

Li Zheng is not smart, but he is not stupid either, Zhang Chu said it so clearly, how could he not know what Zhang Chu meant.

He carefully recalled the situation of the bandit village for a while, and said slowly: "The village is built on the halfway of a big mountain, the terrain is very dangerous, surrounded by cliffs, there is only one road to go up, and it is not easy to walk, the cottage is not big, it can live two or three hundred people, but there are many trees on that mountain, as long as there are enough people, it should not be difficult to repair the house." ”

Zhang Chu's brows furrowed again.

This cottage is not a very good option.

But before the Northern Barbarian army retreated, no city in Xuanbei Prefecture was safe, and it could even be said that the more people and the larger the city, the more dangerous it became.

This time, they took advantage of the well-informed opportunity of the Blood Shadow Guard, and withdrew all the people before the Northern Barbarian army entered Wuding County.

Next time, it may not be such a good opportunity.

Zhang Chu pondered for a long time, and suddenly smashed his fist on the circle next to Zhaoqu County: "Mule, immediately send someone to order everyone on the road to march here." ”

"After arriving, all the people and horses escorted along the way went to the county capital of Beiyin County, and first tried to see if they could buy grain directly from the grain store in Beiyin County, if they couldn't buy it in Beiyin County, they would buy it from the counties of Beiyin County according to the method we raised food last time...... If you can buy it, you can buy it, if you can't buy it, even if you disguise yourself as a bandit to rob it, you will at least grab a million catties of food for me!"

"Besides, everyone has packed their luggage and prepared their wagons, waiting for my notification at any time!"
