Because he couldn't find a way home safely, in order to be able to live well, Zong Ze has deliberately behaved very low-key in front of the Goguryeo people over the years.

So the Goguryeo general who led them to work from the beginning felt that Zong Ze's gang of Han slaves was very easy to use, so when he went down the difficult river to open up a new stronghold last summer, he also brought nearly 100 Han slaves, including Zong Ze, with him.

This stronghold is the new stronghold named by the Goguryeo people as the new Marudu Mountain Fortress, and it was built to commemorate the old Goguryeo capital Marudu Fortress that was destroyed by the general Mu Qiu Jian of Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period, and it can be seen from this that the ambition of the Goguryeo people is really not small.

The former owner of the land where Shinmaru Yamajo is located was the Yatatar tribe known as the Anguche tribe, and in the past, this land was surrounded by a wide variety of tribes, such as the Bolu tribe, the Sumo tribe, the Funi tribe, and the Nanmurowei.

However, under the strong military pressure of Goguryeo, the overlord of the East China Sea, the Angucha tribe was also completely annexed to the same place as the Bolu tribe who were closer to Goguryeo, so it has officially become the territory of Goguryeo, and its position in the hearts of Goguryeo people is also very important.

In the future, it will become the administrative center of Goguryeo in the Nanshui Valley, and it will not only be an important city for the Goguryeo people to control the Nanshui Basin more closely, but also a place where Goguryeo will deal with the Yambu people such as the Anguchebu, the Bolu Division, and the Sumo Division in the future.

After the Goguryeo general came to the mountain city of Shinmaru, Zong Ze still behaved very calmly, as if he had fully adapted to the slave life in Goguryeo, but no one knew that Zong Ze had never calmed his heart yearning for freedom.

On one occasion, when he followed the Goguryeo generals to receive a group of Sumo tribesmen who had come to trade goods, Zong Ze was surprised to learn from the mouths of these Sumo people that the big river around him was flowing down the river to the northeast, and it was about less than a thousand miles to the land occupied by the powerful Xia Kingdom.

Of course, these Su tribes will not care about a slave next to them to listen to them say these words, but they also have a sense of superiority over someone who has not seen them yet, these Su tribes lamented that the Xia Kingdom was strong at the same time, but also lamented why they were not born in Xia Kingdom, a prosperous and rich country.

Zong Ze was both happy and deeply annoyed after hearing the words of these Su Min's subordinates, he didn't even know that the power of the Xia Kingdom had extended to this place all these years, if he had known it a long time ago, he could have taken advantage of the opportunity to cut wood a few years ago to make a batch of wooden rafts and go downstream.

Anyway, the place where Zong Ze and the others cut down the trees at that time was very far away from the Goguryeo settlement, and very few people came to check on weekdays.

Only now did Zong Ze find out angrily that he and the others had missed such a good opportunity, and he and the others could have escaped smoothly before the Goguryeo people had time to react.

After learning this shocking news from the Su Mo people, Zong Ze discussed with several very reliable men, and decided that they would eventually rescue all the more than 1,000 Han people who had fallen here, after all, everyone had lived together for many years, and their relationship was already very deep.

Most of these Han slaves were the troops of Zong Li when he was the Daze Water Kou, and the remaining few were also the people of Changguang County and Donglai County, plus the Beji Land had practiced for many years and had excellent water quality, so Zong Ze planned at first that they could take a raft made privately and escape calmly down the river one night.

However, the Goguryeo people mixed some of the Baekje people with the Han people such as Zongze and supervised each other, so it was difficult for all the Han people of Zongze to escape safely, and in the end they could only select a few strong and very clever young people to go to Heseong for help.

In order to be able to escape successfully, Zong Ze and others used a trick to attract a young tiger, creating the illusion that he fell into the swamp and died in the chaos, which dispelled the doubts of the Goguryeo people and reluctantly escaped to report the news.

Along the way, Zong Ze and the others suffered a lot, and they encountered a lot of fierce beasts and poisonous insects, and there were three people when they set off, but when they were halfway through, only Zong Ze was left alone.

At this time, it was already winter, Zong Ze could only use his feet to trek all the way, and by the time he crossed hundreds of miles of wind and snow not far from Hecheng, the whole person was about to freeze to death by the cold weather, fortunately, Pei Xiu usually paid the most attention to daily patrols, and the soldiers on patrol rescued Zong Ze who was about to freeze in time.

After finding a doctor to rescue Zong Ze, Pei Xiu was surprised to learn from Zong Ze that the Han people who were robbed by the Goguryeo people were still alive now, and she didn't dare to slack off when she heard this good news, and at the same time, Pei Xiu was a little excited in her heart.

In the years since he came to Hecheng, Pei Xiu has never fought a good war, this time he can finally let go of his hands and feet, and at the beginning, Pei Xiu had heard Wang Zenian talk several times in the past, wouldn't it be a great achievement if he could be rescued?

According to the regulations on the use of troops, Pei Xiu must send troops to report to Zhenhai City, and only after seeking Wang Ze's consent and approval can she act, but at this time, because of the heavy snow in Beji, it is not easy for the messenger to go to Zhenhai, so she sent an urgent report to Xu Ning, the commander of the Second Army stationed in Sanjiang City, according to the wartime regulations.

While telling her lord Xu Ning, Pei Xiu was not idle, she also began to prepare all the preparations for battle, once she waited for Xu Ning's letter, she could set off at any time to rescue the poor Han people who were still alive.

Xu Ning received Pei Xiu's letter, and after learning the news that these Han people were still alive, he was also very surprised, if he did a good job, it would not only be a great credit to Wang Ze, but also a good favor to Zong Li, who was currently a high-ranking officer of the navy.

At this time, the 'grizzly bear' unit led by He Fan and Wu Jian, who was good at fighting in the jungle of the Beji Land, was conducting winter combat training in the Nanshui Valley, so such a special force that was good at fighting under special circumstances happened to be sent to use.

He Fan was a relatively outstanding officer selected from the 'Wolf Tooth' unit, and Wu Jian actually knew it to many people, but his name was relatively unfamiliar.

Wu Jian was the Kuyi warrior who followed Li Biao and others to capture the prince of the Wa State when he attacked the Wa Kingdom, and after the meritorious service, he saw that many people had names, so he begged Meng Xian to give himself a Han name called Wu Jian.

Soon after, during Wang Ze's military and political reorganization, Wu Jian entered the newly formed 'Grizzly Bear' Northern Jungle Special Operations Force, and showed his talents in subsequent training and battles, and was gradually promoted to the current Yilu Lieutenant (senior rank of captain) is He Fan's deputy.

In the new round of army expansion in the eleventh year of the Xia calendar, the 'Grizzly' army was finally expanded to a size of 1,000 in the war.

Four years have passed now, and since there has been no large-scale battle with Goguryeo, they have been fighting against the indigenous tribes in the land of Beji.

Therefore, in the minds of the people of Xia Kingdom, the reputation of the 'Grizzly Bear' unit has never been as good as that of the two special operations forces of 'Wolf Tooth' and 'Viper', which is difficult to accept for the soldiers of the Grizzly Bear Force, who have a high regard for themselves.

This time, when they suddenly learned that there was such a great credit in front of them, and it depended on whether they could pick it up or not, they were all extremely excited, and they looked forward to fighting the Goguryeo people as soon as possible.

When they came to Hecheng and saw Pei Xiu's department who was going to act with them, they were a little distracted, it turned out to be a woman who was acting with them, although Pei Xiu was the first to get this information, but the soldiers of the grizzly bear force were still reluctant to act with Pei Xiu.

In their opinion, Pei Xiu's great reputation is just because of her special relationship with Wang Ze, so there is still a trace of disdain for Pei Xiu's handsome appearance, but then the horse lance in Pei Xiu's hand when she came out suppressed them.

This kind of horse lance alone weighs more than 30 catties, just take it for a while, but it is not easy to hold it all the time, and the horse lance is the most difficult weapon to use in all long weapons, not only requires high martial arts, great strength, but also must be good equestrian.

After seeing Pei Xiu's true skills, all the grizzly soldiers closed their mouths with interest, many of them are not as good as Pei Xiu, although their jungle survival skills must be stronger than Pei Xiu, but their combat effectiveness must not be comparable.

After having Zong Ze to lead the way, Pei Xiu handed over the defense of Hecheng to the five hundred soldiers left behind, and in another three or five days, Xu Ning would send a support force to come here, so that Pei Xiu was relieved to lead a thousand Hecheng infantry troops, plus a thousand grizzly bear troops led by He Fan and Wu Jian, and two thousand people set off together.

Of course, there can not be too many cavalry on the winter march, and the baggage is not easy to carry, in order to ensure the success rate of this operation, Xu Ning also specially allocated them a thousand sleds, these sleds are pulled by large mountain guard dogs raised in the land of Beji, and there are also very few war horses to pull sleds.

Although Hecheng is five or six hundred miles away from Goguryeo, He Fan and Wu Jian have not been here, on the contrary, because they know that this place will be the place where the Xia Kingdom and Goguryeo have seen the most fierce competition, they have come here the most often.

Pei Xiu was also surprised to find that He Fan and Wu Jian already had a topographic map of this difficult water basin for hundreds of miles, and its level of detail was not inferior to the most detailed civilian map in the East China Sea, and it seemed that they had already prepared for today's things.
