Since killing Liu Zhu, the anger in Chu Yangguan's chest and abdomen has not subsided, but has become more and more prosperous as he gets closer to Tongcheng.

However, anger alone is not enough, he is still tied to the life and death of the Chu family and the life and death of 80,000 Dingyi soldiers, these are all the foundations for his future life. In such a situation, a person, a horse, a pair of armor, or a tael of silver cannot be spent in vain.

On the way here, he has roughly made a decision, Dingyi County is already in his pocket, up to Dingyi County to guard the county orders of each county, and he has already been arranged with the Dingyi army or the people from the side branches of the Chu family. If you are of the same mind as him, you can take his place at any time.

Although the Chu family is far away, several of his cousins and cousins are not idle people, and he has sent someone to send the letter out, and when they receive the letter, they should have completed a big event on their side.

If he wants to become a big thing, of course, he sees more than Dingyi, he wants Tongjun to the north, and he wants Liangzhou to the north of Tongjun.

Tong County is Tongcheng, Tongcheng was originally the territory of the country, and Liangzhou belongs to the same state.

Since the founding of Southern Chu, Emperor Gaozu went north to conquer, and he pacified Dingyi with the momentum of thunder, and wanted to swallow the strong guard, but he didn't want to go to Liangzhou and fold.

Therefore, such a small Tongcheng was left.

Many methods were considered in the region, either to split up or to merge altogether, but after weighing all parties, it was finally divided into a separate county.

Although it is said that it is based on the county, but its rearguard state is declining, Beiyu is gradually stronger, and the names of the prefectures, counties and counties are different, under the influence of each other, even the Southern Chu State has changed a round of local systems, and there has even been a period of the same name of the state and county.

The name Tongcheng has also survived in the official and private sectors.

Today, the Weiguo Sheji has become a mound and ruins, and even the last trace of the existence of the Liangzhou Army, a former strong guard, has disappeared in the world. However, Emperor Gaozu of Southern Chu wanted to annex Liangzhou and reunite the county, but he was regained by Chuyangguan.

In his plan, the current Tongcheng defenders are naturally not a problem, but Liangzhou may have to spend some energy.

In order to prevent the Beiyu and Huaiyang armies from hearing the rumors in advance, Chuyang Pass planned to take the city in the city without blood, and then avenge his best friend, and then march from Tongcheng, taking Liangzhou, which had no heavy defense, off guard.

So he was patient, and waited for nearly an hour in the still cold night, but waited for nothing but sleepiness and a deeper cold.

"Why haven't people come back?" Chu Yangguan spread out a wolf skin blanket in front of Tang Mingyi's coffin and sat on the ground, his tone a little impatient.

Tang Mingyi's coffin was shabby, he experienced an assassin attack in Tongcheng, and was opened twice inside and outside the city, At this time, it was already in tatters, and Chu Yangguan really couldn't change the coffin for him, so he had to put on Tang Mingyi's body first, so as not to be too wronged by his best friend.

The adjutant general knew how angry his general was in his heart, and hurriedly replied: "The situation in the city is complicated, and in order to ensure that there are no other waves after the general enters the city, they delayed. Do you want to send some people to pick them up? ”

Chu Yangguan snorted: "It's so hard to take a Tongcheng, and when they come back, they will go to brush Lao Tzu's stable for a month." ”

Seeing that the general did not stop him, the adjutant general hurriedly counted four teams with a total of 100 light horsemen to Tongcheng to respond.

There is nothing to say here, but of course these 100 people have not returned.

Lao Zhao guarded against them, and after capturing Fang Cai's group of men and horses, he first sent someone to send all the captured armor, horses, silver, etc. to the eldest lady, and then turned back, identified the traces of the horse's hooves, and then walked south for almost ten miles and ambushed again.

The hundred people fell into the hands of Lao Zhao and them again without accident, and after this plunder, they were not sent to the west, but to the northeast for three or four miles.

The direction and distance were calculated, and the two groups of men and horses who had been captured one after the other should meet on the way back if there were no accidents.

In addition to delaying time, he just wanted to turn off Chu Yang's face.

But it's just two times like this, Lao Zhao and the others knew that there was no third chance, so they took the new order of the eldest lady who returned from Tongcheng and went back to the mountains and forests.

And after sitting in the wilderness south of Tongcheng for more than two hours, full of planning how to obtain Chuyang Pass in Liangzhou, when he saw a group of people in white clothes stumbling towards them from a distance, he almost ordered the arrows to be released.

Fortunately, they were scarred by stones and branches under their feet, and they could not walk quickly, otherwise they would have died at the hands of their own people.

After seeing the people clearly, Chu Yangguan asked them with a calm face how they ended up like this, only to know that in this Tongcheng, on the ground at the junction of Beiyu and Great Chu, there were a group of mountain bandits who did not know the height of the sky and the height of the earth.

After asking the reason, Chu Yangguan was not angry, but comforted them: "I thought about Tongcheng simply, I should have scouted and investigated first, but the situation is urgent and has changed, and I am anxious to cause you to suffer such a loss." ”

If the general scolded, it would be fine, so this group of soldiers was even more ashamed.

"The face of the Dingyi army was earned on the battlefield, and our battlefield was not in a small place like Tongcheng, but in Liangzhou. The horses and blades that had been taken away were to be kept in the hands of the bandits. When we take Tongcheng and let them return it with interest, maybe we will still have to make money. ”

Chu Yangguan didn't have some impassioned tone, but spoke as usual, as if he really didn't take this matter to heart.

When those soldiers in dirty clothes heard this, they all held their breath, waiting to go to Liangzhou to vent.

Chu Yangguan asked about the number of bandits, blades, horses, and so on.

Of the nine generals led by the first five teams and the last four teams, all but one died in the first ambush, and the rest came back a total of eight.

These eight generals were not idle, and in such a situation, they silently made a rough guess and judgment about the situation of the mountain bandits.

However, after all, it was the regular soldiers who fell into the hands of the mountain bandits, and for various reasons such as face psychology, in addition to the 500 people who broke the road, there were actually only 500 people who fought these Dingyi troops head-on, but in the mouths of these eight team generals, there were as many as 15 to 2,000 of these mountain bandits.

Chu Yangguan naturally understood their mentality, but he didn't say it to his face, but only silently discounted it in his heart.

However, such an erroneous message pushed his judgment to a result that was close to correct.

These so-called "mountain bandits" were actually another part of the Liangzhou army that had been defeated in Liangzhou.
