Chapter Twenty-Nine: Quest 8: Successfully Reaching Jinzhong (2)
"Sing love songs with you, the most beautiful fireworks"
Walking on the post road from Jiaokou Fort to Wucheng, although the road was muddy, Long Thirteen couldn't help but sing.
Everyone was baffled, but he was still the same.
But his presumptuous mood obviously won't last long.
"Da Da Da ......"
It didn't take long for him to be in the mood to sing.
"Three masters, three masters!"
"What?"
"There are officers and soldiers chasing after you!"
"Oh? What's so surprising about this? Isn't there Yuan Zongdi and He Jinlong in the back, the mountain road is narrow, and it is not easy for the enemy to come over even if he wants to."
"It's not! The three masters, it is not Ai Wannian who came, but ......"
"Who, spit and spit out, beware of me whipping you to death!"
"It's Cao Wenzhao!"
"Huh?!"
Long Thirteen suddenly calmed down from the slightly happy mood just now.
"Yes, it's him?"
It is said that the official army is in a state of crushing the heads of the bandit camps, but to be specific, the bands of the thieves who have just come from Shaanxi are very afraid of the three people.
The third place is the Shenmu Counselor General Ai Wannian, who is a family of military generals in Yulin Town, brave and good at fighting, known as "Ai Madman", that is because no matter how many people Ai Wannian has, once he encounters a thief, even if he fights the last person, he will not retreat lightly.
Then there is the guerrilla general He Renlong, known as He Maniac, if Ai Wannian is not afraid of death, mixed with the typical, then He Renlong is a typical example of high martial arts, his family Ding 300 Cavalry is not afraid of death, but also brave and good at fighting, known as "He Maniac".
The most powerful is Cao Wenzhao, Ai Wannian is a family of military generals in Yulin Town, He Renlong is also a martial artist, that is, Cao Wenzhao is a big soldier who started in Liaodong, completely relying on personal bravery, not afraid of death, good luck, step by step from a small soldier to the current high position of the general army.
He has a bad temper, obviously not the favorite of the eunuchs of the prison army and the civil officials of the prison army (patrol according to the imperial history), but he is still brave, and he has become the first military general written by the saint himself on the screen of the Wude Temple, and he became a high-ranking official like the chief soldier at the age of thirty.
Not afraid of death, strong in martial arts, rich in experience, and strict in military discipline, I will ask you if you are afraid.
He is known as the "Living Hades".
Although madmen and madmen are terrible, they are human beings after all, but this Cao Wenzhao is the king of Hades, so even Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng, who are the strongest in the ranks of the thieves at this time, can only retreat!
What's even more terrifying is that the Cao Wenzhao family has only one, and there are two!
His nephew Cao Bianjiao is only five years younger than him, but he is a pioneer general in his army, and he seems to be out of the same mold, if it weren't for the fact that his age is only five years different from Cao Wenzhao, the world really thinks that Cao Wenzhao secretly fell in love with his sister-in-law.
Cao Bianjiao, known as "Cao Wuchang", good guy, the most important positions in the underworld are occupied by his Cao family, and it is conceivable that they are terrible.
Long Thirteen has seen Zhang Xianzhong's assignment with his own eyes, and his force value is as high as 88, if so, the Cao family's uncles and nephews are all above 90.
More than 90, placed in the Three Kingdoms period, it is a proper candidate for the twenty generals, thinking of this, Long Thirteen can't help but chrysanthemum.
The deadliest ones are yet to come.
"Three masters, that Cao Bianjiao has three hundred horses, two horses per capita, when chasing the enemy, they are all lightly clothed and lightly armoured, traveling three hundred miles a day, and when facing each other, it is two layers of heavy armor, and even the horses have a layer of armor, which can easily break through the opponent's spear array"
Dragon Thirteen's chrysanthemums are tighter.
"Could it be that the invincible lion that Lao Tzu worked so hard to build is going to be finished, I knew that this was the case, it was better to go to Ningxiang County to join the King of Zijin Liang for his own use, but what I didn't expect was that I originally wanted to pretend to be forced, but in the end I was struck by lightning."
"How far is Cao Wuchang from me?"
"Twenty miles, I have been following unhurriedly"
"Smack!" , Long Thirteen slapped his thigh, his heart slowly let go, and the chrysanthemum also relaxed.
Secretly rejoicing, "King Cao Yan, Cao Wuchang, no matter how powerful you are, after all, you are a member of the decaying and declining class of the Ming Dynasty, at this time, if Cao Bianjiao does not look forward and backwards, and rushes hard with heavy armored cavalry, my Dragon Thirteen's simulator career in the late Ming Dynasty will be over immediately, but you have to wait for ......."
Long Thirteen naturally thought of why Cao Bianjiao had to act like this.
"This guy is going to drive my department to the vicinity of Wucheng to make plans again, if you attack at this time, I will run to the mountain, it's really the old experience that kills people, it is estimated that this is how the uncle and nephew of the Cao family dealt with other thieves in the past, but I didn't expect that Lao Tzu and I am a different thief!"
Since this is the case, Long Thirteen has no other requirements except to warn Yuan Zongdi to pay attention to the broken moment.
After setting out from Jiaokou Fort, he asked each (200 people, the leader is called the department) pikemen to have at least twenty people holding oak wood spears with sticky horn pieces, twenty of them, on this rugged and winding mountain road, at least five rows, plus the blessing of wide eaves iron helmets and iron armor, even if there are heavy armored cavalry of the standing army, they can resist for a while!
"Sing mountain songs, sing here and there......"
Long Thirteen hummed the mountain song again, which made Long Xiaoshi, who had been following him, pout.
"It seems that the three masters are going to hurry up and ask for a mother-in-law after arriving in the Jinzhong Plain, how can they be so complaining for a long time?"
However, Long Xiaoshi still likes such a master very much, in the past, he followed Wang Fuchen, simply because Wang Fuchen was handsome and chic, and his martial arts were strong, but then he gradually got tired of it, and now he is different with Long Shisan.
Although Long Thirteen is not as strong as Wang Fuchen's martial arts (he always thinks that the battle of Anguo Temple is caused by the opportunism of Long Thirteen, and he picks up the spear and fights against the hard bridge and hard horse, and Long Thirteen is definitely not an opponent), but he is better than knowing books and etiquette, and being empathetic, not like ordinary thieves, who regard human life as a mustard.
What's more, Dragon Thirteen's martial arts are just "slightly inferior to the horse harrier", and over time, he may surpass him.
"Little Stones"
At this time, Long Thirteen suddenly spoke.
Although Long Xiaoshi was a little annoyed when he heard this, he was helpless, so he had to reply: "Three masters, what's the matter?" ”
"Do you think that in a place like Wucheng, where the government doesn't pay attention to it, but the people attach great importance to it, who will guard there?"
"Who else can there be, naturally there are thousands of households!"
"Definitely", Long Thirteen is keenly aware that it can't be so simple.
At this time in Shanxi, the imperial court allowed a large group exercise, but it also ordered the civil officials who were idle at home or waiting at home to fill the vacancy to handle it, like Ma Feng, who were actually deputy training generals, and behind them were too many of them hung a certain civil official who was idle at home, or although he was promoted and jinshi, but did not want to be an official businessman (especially in Shanxi).
Like Wucheng, which is only a jurisdiction of a thousand households and an inspection department, but there are tens of thousands of dingkou and thousands of horses and mules, in the eyes of the eight masters of the Jin Dynasty, how can ordinary people be allowed to steal high positions?
Of course, that's what Long Thirteen thought.
Although it seemed easy on the surface, Dragon Thirteen did not give up preparation. He asked the old camp Qingzhuang to drive six carts to follow the first action of Yuan Zong, and several rejecting horses were placed on each cart.
Once Cao Bianjiao suddenly arrived, he would arrange three rows of horses at the rear, and then put the cart on a straw bag full of dirt to block the back.
"You want to play with me, you're still a little tender, but I grew up watching the late Ming Dynasty through novels"
The next morning, when he was about to approach Wucheng, Li Zhanchun rode over.
"Three masters!"
"Say"
"The third master, when the detective cavalry approached Wucheng, he captured a person who went up the mountain to chop firewood and did not have time to retreat into the city, and according to what the man said, he got some information"
"Oh? Could it be that Xu Dingchen, the governor of Shanxi, came in person? ”
"That's not true, but Mr. Lian of Wucheng is a five-grade civil official who is idle at home."
"Oh? Who is it, is it powerful? ”
"Ahem, I don't know if it's powerful or not, but listen to what the man said, first of all, although there are not many people in Wucheng recently, there are more than five thousand young people, and most of them are caravan guards who are proficient in martial arts."
"The soldiers and horses under the jurisdiction of Qianhu are naturally unusable, but because this place is extremely rich, Qianhu also has a hundred families under him, and the elite infantry army is three or four hundred."
"The Wupin official who is idle at home is called Sun Chuanting, who used to be the chief inspector of the Ministry of Officials, and now he is the general practitioner here!"
"Huh?!" , Now Long Thirteen no longer has the heart to sing mountain songs, "There are Cao Wenzhao, Cao Bianjiao's uncles and nephews, and Sun Chuanting in front, is my Dragon Thirteenth Emperor's name going to be buried here?" ”
"I wanted to pretend to be a force, did I really want to be struck by lightning? Cao Wenzhao, Cao Wenzhao, why don't you go to Ningxiang County, there is a large team of people there, why bother to embarrass my little brother? ”
However, there was a calm expression on his face (pretending to be really hard), "Got it, then Xue Rengui and the others have any news?" ”
"Yes, because there is only one way down the mountain in Qianjiazhai, and this road is the post road that leads to us now, they can only rely on me to wait for a way, once I wait, they will be trapped on the mountain and unable to move"
"Yesterday, I already sent someone up the mountain to contact, then Xue Rengui agreed, at noon today, Xue Rengui, Hua Guansuo, and Huang Chao will appear on time in the east of Wucheng!"
"That's good, that's good"
"Do you know the news of the big boss and others?"
"I don't know"
"Okay, by the way, you must pay attention, that Sun Chuanting is very difficult to deal with, don't be careless!"
"Three masters, how do you know that Sun Chuanting is powerful?"
"I don't know if the prophet will work?"
"......, OK"
After Li Zhanchun left, Long Thirteen looked at both sides of the valley.
This is a valley with only a looming small river in the middle, with steep mountains and dense forests on both sides, although it is not conducive to ambushes, but it is also not conducive to bypassing from one end, but once it is stuck at one end and one tail, and the combat power is strong, it is still very dangerous.
"Ahem, little rock"
"The Rank is In"
"How much grass do I have left?"
"Not much, ten days at most"
“......”
At this point, the simulator box opens again.
"Remember to let Long Xiaoshi contact Sun Chuanting on the battlefield, this is one of the conditions for Long Xiaoshi's perfect growth"
"Why is that?"
"Heaven must not be revealed"
Long Shisan looked at Long Xiaoshi's innocent face and wondered: "Why did Long Xiaoshi contact Sun Chuanting, could it be that he still has something to do with this person?" ”
