The rest of the trip went surprisingly smoothly.

Zhang Chu could slow down, and like a wild tour, he marched in the direction of Yongming Pass.

If you are hard-hearted, you have to fish a few Northern Barbarian soldiers and horses to vent the depression in your heart.

But after walking down two or three hundred miles, let alone the hordes of Northern Barbarian soldiers and horses, not even a single Northern Barbarian ghost could not be seen.

Earlier, when they went deep into the grassland to rush to the Hari tribe, didn't they pass by a few northern barbarian tribes?

The tribes also sent a large herd of steppe hyenas to follow them along the way, and killed more than a dozen of their brothers.

At that time, Zhang Chu thought that he would slaughter these tribes on the way back, and let out a bad breath......

However, when passing through the pastures where these tribes were stationed, the pastures were empty.

From the scattered cattle and sheep scattered around, it is possible to judge the panicked appearance of these northern barbarian tribes when they evacuated.

When they found a fat sheep, they called their friends and hugged them.

found that the fat sheep was actually a mountain tiger, and he did not hesitate to turn his head and run away.

The Northern Barbarians who entered Xuanbei Prefecture were as simple as brute bulls with muscles in their brains, and they would only go on a rampage.

But the northern barbarians on the grassland are as fine as slippery loaches, and when they see that the situation is wrong, they immediately smear oil on the soles of their feet.

Zhang Chu was full of anger and murderous aura, and he couldn't find a place to pour out......

Two days later.

Zhang Chu led his army to Yongming Pass,

After the initial cleaning and repair, the dilapidated Yongming Pass has restored a little bit of the grandeur of the first Xiongguan in Kyushu in the past.

After four or five days of rest and drills, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in Yongming Pass have swept away their exhaustion and revealed a solemn and awe-inspiring posture of a strong army!

Zhang Chu led 4,000 soldiers and horses of the northern battalion, and arrived outside Yongming Pass with a group of war horses several times the number of troops.

There was no trouble.

Even the procedure for verifying one's identity has been omitted to the point of being almost perfunctory.

Zhang Chu just showed his face in front of the army, and before he could speak, he heard the "squeak" and "squeak" sound made by the winch pulling the door shut.

The soldiers guarding the pass rushed down the wall in a swarm, welcoming them in a way of welcoming them to the robe of the Tianji Grassland.

......

The imperial court erased Zhang Chu's credit.

In the holy decree of rewarding meritorious deeds, Zhang Chu is not mentioned in half a word.

But that holy decree could not erase Zhang Chu's merits in the minds of hundreds of thousands of soldiers in northern Xinjiang.

The battle is over.

Many of the events and details of the war are no longer necessary to be kept secret...... There's no way to keep it a secret.

The hundreds of thousands of soldiers who survived the northern Xinjiang defense line all knew about it.

They owe Zhang Chu a piece of incense.

That rainy night.

If there is no Zhang Chu warning in advance.

If it weren't for Zhang Chu, he would have traveled more than 100 miles in the rain.

Greet them.

It won't be an unprecedented victory.

Rather, it will be an unprecedented rout, a slaughter.

They may not have a chance to return this incense......

The people of the Beiping League are rich and powerful, and their families are big.

The 10,000 Qianyuan Army went north to fight this vicious battle, not only did they not ask the court for a big money and a grain of wheat, but they also paid money and grain, and raised the 30,000 soldiers and horses in Shuangliu County!

Where can they be used?

But don't bother.

They will keep it in their hearts.

Waiting for the day when this incense can be returned.

It doesn't matter how long you wait.

If you can't wait in this life.

Let the sons and grandchildren wait, and then ......

Every time you slaughter more dogs, most of them are readers.

Those who are willing to resist the 300,000 iron cavalry of the Northern Barbarians with flesh and blood are naturally mostly dog slaughterers.

......

As soon as Zhang Chu entered Yongming Pass, he learned of the changes that had taken place in Yongming Pass during his absence.

Shangzhu Guo Ran Lin has returned to Beijing to resume his life.

Yongming Pass has been officially handed over to the Zhenbei Army and the Barbarian Army to garrison.

Wang Zhenyi is the main one.

Huo Hongye is supplemented.

This is the biggest change in Yongming Pass, and it is also the change that Zhang Chu is most interested in.

It is reasonable that Yongming Pass can no longer be garrisoned by the Zhenbei Army.

After all, since the Zhenbei Army let the Northern Barbarians enter the customs once.

Naturally, you can put it a second time.

But what Zhang Chu didn't expect was that the imperial court would hand over Yongming Pass to the two armies of the Zhenbei Army and the Barbarian Army at the same time!

Although on the surface, the imperial court designated Wang Zhenyi as the commander of Yongmingguan and Huo Hongye as the deputy marshal.

But Wang Zhenyi can command Huo Hongye?

Will Huo Hongye listen to Wang Zhenyi's command?

There is no distinction between the top and bottom in the army, but it is a big taboo!

Once the war in Northern Xinjiang resumes, the internal struggle between the Zhenbei Army and the Barbarian Army will weaken a large part of the strength of Yongming Pass, so what else can you do to fight the Northern Barbarians?

One more point.

Zhang Chu if he remembers correctly...... Yanquan County seems to be the fief of Huo Qing, the king of Zhenbei!

In the past, under the Taibai Mansion, the imperial court enshrined Huo Qing as the king of Zhenbei and the fief of Yanquan County.

has the meaning of slapping Huo Qing's face.

There is also the implication of forcing Huo Qing to expel the Northern Barbarians as soon as possible, and the meaning of recovering the four northern counties is in it - you are the king of the north in a dignified town, but you even lost your fiefdom, don't you make the world laugh?

However, Huo Qing completely ignored the slap in the face and persecution of the imperial court, and allowed the war situation in Northern Xinjiang to erode to the end, and it seemed that he didn't take the fiefdom of Yanquan County to heart at all.

But whether Huo Qing took Yanquan County to heart or not.

It is an indisputable fact that Yanqi County is Huo Qing's fiefdom.

Now the four northern counties have been recovered.

Zhenbei Wangfu will be rebuilt.

And Yongming Pass is in the territory of Yanli County......

In a nutshell.

The court just let Wang Zhenyi go against the Huo family on the Huo family's territory!

The partial-born Wang Zhenyi had no choice at all, so he could only go all the way to the black - from the moment he was promoted from Pingshahou to Champion Hou, he had already completely walked to the opposite side of the Huo family!

There is no compromise.

There is no way to reconcile.

Even if it is to surrender to Cheng, it is very likely that the Huo family will not take in Wang Zhenyi!

Because before Wang Zhenyi, the champion Hou of Dali was Huo Qing's only son and Huo Hongye's biological father, and Hou Huoyun, the second-generation champion who died in the Tianji Grassland!

made a fuss about a dead man, on the one hand, he threw two big-eared scrapers on the faces of the Huo family's grandfathers and grandchildren, and on the other hand, he blocked all the retreats of Wang Zhenyi!

Three birds with one stone, poisonous, ruthless and accurate!

Zhang Chu couldn't figure it out.

This is the end of the checks and balances.

Or differentiation.

But he can see it clearly, whether it is the Huo family or Wang Zhenyi, the court doesn't believe it!

......

Zhang Chu returned to the Qianyuan Army camp.

Soon received banquet invitations from Huo Hongye and Wang Zhenyi at the same time.

Zhang Chudu has already seen the undercurrent under Yongming Pass, how can he be willing to wade into this muddy water?

He immediately rejected the invitation of the two, and made up his mind that he would leave for Taiping Pass tomorrow.

Immediately afterwards, the White Tiger Camp brothers, who stayed at Yongming Pass, presented a handwritten letter from Ji Ba to Zhang Chu.

After reading the letter, he realized that Ji Ba had been disarmed and was about to return to the family, so he asked him to have a small gathering in Jintian Mansion.

After Zhang Chu read it, he felt indescribable emotion in his heart.

He had long known that Ji Ba had a war-weary mood in his heart.

Perhaps it was the Huo family's approach that disappointed this fierce man who didn't think long enough again and again.

Or maybe it's because of the war in Northern Xinjiang in the past few years, he has been tired, and he has seen too many people die and is tired.

Zhang Chu still remembers that when he was in Jintian Mansion before, Ji Ba said that he was now walking around the former army camp and couldn't find a few familiar faces.

Ji Ba stayed in the front army of the Zhenbei Army for more than ten years.

From a low-level officer, little by little to the former army commander-in-chief.

The former army is his youth.

The former army is most of his life.

The former army no longer looks like the former army, and he is naturally more sad than anyone else.

People who value love and righteousness are always inferior to people who have no heart and lungs, and live freely......
