Chapter 36: Red Line or Blue Line, It's a Question (Part I)

At this moment, the emulator box opens.

"Dear Dragon Thirteen, you have successfully arrived in Jinzhong, and your next choice is extremely important."

"Choose?"

"Yes, you can choose to really take refuge in the imperial court, and then take it as your mission to save the Ming Dynasty, this is the red line, codenamed Jingzhong to serve the country, if you choose this line, your various assignments will rise significantly"

"You can also choose one of the subordinates you think is the most loyal to improve your abilities"

"The second nature is to continue to be a thief, the code name is dominant, or to decide the growth of various abilities according to random events, what needs to be told is that from now on the thief will enter an extremely tragic escape war"

"Because the battle of Kong Youde in Dengzhou has ended, the main force of encirclement and suppression of Kong Youde, the five thousand elite cavalry of Guanning Iron Cavalry is about to arrive on the battlefield, and Deng Xi, the general soldier of Sichuan, will also join the encirclement and suppression on the return trip."

"If you followed the Zijin Liang Brigade before, it would have been fine, but now you are very likely to be separated by the officers and soldiers, and you are now facing an extremely dangerous situation."

"Isn't it possible for me to be born indefinitely?"

"But from now on, once you choose the route, you can't go back to the scene you chose at the beginning, you can only go back to the scene after you choose"

"Do I have to choose now?"

"It's not, it's not really a game, there's three days to think about it"

"Let's talk about it in three days."

After coming down from Guji Mountain, Long Thirteen suddenly smelled a trace of unusual smell.

At this time, although the Dangerous Dao God, Xue Rengui, and Huang Chao all went to the vicinity of Fenzhou City to make an appearance, they were only twenty miles away from the city.

It's a pity that his exclusive stunt "Insight" is only at the second level at the moment, and he can only see the assignment and intelligence of everyone within a mile of him.

"Could it be that it is possible for this Level 3 or above to perceive things within a radius of hundreds of miles around them? If that were the case, I wouldn't have to use the Scout Horse to scout."

It's a pity that the simulator has said last time, "The secret of heaven must not be revealed", and he had to give up.

They walked close to the western foot of Guji Mountain, and it didn't take long to walk near Xiaoyi County, and at this moment, a few horses flew from behind!

It didn't take long for him to come to the front of Dragon Thirteen.

It's actually Wu Dading!

"Three masters, no, we just appeared near Fenzhou City soon encountered a large group of cavalry, at least four hundred, we naturally ran east according to what the three masters said, and it didn't take long to be blocked by the rising Fen River, so I had to run south, hoping to meet with the three masters"

"At this time, hundreds of horses appeared from the south and north, and now I panicked, and only scored to face the battle, and after a fight, I escaped by luck, and the dangerous Dao God and Xue Rengui didn't know what was going on......"

Long Thirteen's heart sank, "So there are thousands of cavalry you have encountered?" ”

"Yes, the cavalry that appeared under the city of Fenzhou has a big banner with the word "Wang" on it, most of which belongs to Wang Pu, the general of Datong, and only he has enough cavalry."

(Note: Datong Town belongs to the Shanxi Xingdu Division, of which half is cavalry, and Shanxi Town belongs to the Shanxi Division, with only half of the troops of Datong Town, and only 30% of the cavalry)

"Wang Pu, didn't he go to Taiyuan?"

He looked at Li Zhanchun, and Li Zhanchun was also very puzzled, "Three masters, this information is indeed from the messenger I captured."

"And what happened to the Messenger in the end?"

"How else, naturally kill ...... with one sword"

"You stupid, you still call yourself 'Black Harrier', it's better to change your name to 'Black Pig', you should release it after you ask, according to the virtue of these people, after going back, they will never say their experience of being captured, so how they arranged it before is still how it was arranged"

"But after you killed it with one sword, every time the officers and soldiers saw the messenger for a few days, and now it happened to be the time when the rebels from all walks of life were leaving the valley and the mountains, they would definitely suspect that the messenger had been captured by the rebels, so they changed the previous arrangement."

Li Zhanchun was also a little ashamed, "What does the third master mean is that the most powerful Wang Pubu under Xu Dingchen is still in Fenzhou?" ”

"Eight or nine is not far from ten"

Long Thirteen looked at the sky, "No, I have to wait harder, Wang Pu will go after the dangerous Dao God, Xue Rengui, etc., at most it will be done in one day, it is April now, it may rain in a few days, I will wait for this dragger, once Wang Pu catches up, it will be very dangerous."

"Then shall I wait or go directly to Mianshan?"

Long Thirteen didn't answer directly, but his heart was full of thoughts.

"Once Guan Ning Tiecai and Deng Xi's white pole soldiers join the ranks of encirclement and suppression, even if they join the Zijinliang Brigade, they will not be able to please them, and now continue to find a large place to station, which can not only garrison troops, but also defend steadily, in this way, the old and weak can be placed, and the elite can attack everywhere"

"According to Long Xiaoshi, it is naturally the best Lingshi County located in the middle reaches of the Fen River and in the middle of the Bird Mouse Valley, but unfortunately this place has been occupied by the guerrilla Po Ximu of Wutai Mountain."

"But right now, Zhang Zongheng's army in the south is dealing with Gao Yingxiang, since Wang Pu is staying in Fenzhou, then the troops of Zhang Yingchang, the general soldier of Shanxi, must be going to Qinzhou to deal with Zijin Liang and others, so it is Wang Pu's army that stays in Jinzhong, at most plus the Poxi pastoral department in Lingshi County."

"If you can take Jiexiu County, firstly, you can get a large number of people and supplement your strength, and secondly, this county is the nest of Fan Yongdou, the largest of the eight families of the Jin Dynasty, and there must be a lot of money and grain, and once you take this place, you can defend it for a long time."

"In my impression, the historical Li Zicheng followed the Zijinliang Brigade to Qinzhou and then went north alone, and also took Liaozhou, and made a situation of going north to Pingdingzhou, and going east to the south of Jinxi through Jingcheng Road, which once made Gyeonggi earthquake, if this scene will be realized, Li Zicheng, right......"

"That Tianxing Zhang Tianlin and Li Zicheng have been inseparable from Meng, this person was originally under the command of the north without mud, and now he must be with him, maybe there are a few others, so that more officers and soldiers can be attracted"

"Taihang Mountain, it is much bigger than Guji Mountain, once the righteous army goes there, the official army will definitely not be able to pull away for a while, in that case, it can bring me at least two or three months of respite!"

"Li Zhanchun!"

"The Rank is In"

"How far is this place from Jiexiu County?"

"Thirty miles at most"

"How many days have I been waiting to leave Wucheng?"

"Five Days"

"In your opinion, has the news of the Battle of Wucheng reached the counties of Fenzhou?"

"It's hard to say, because Wucheng was stuck on the post road, Xue Rengui and the others had already arrived in the east of the city at that time, and we were stuck in the westward passage, and when Wucheng was taken, no one should be able to escape from the east of the city and report in time."

"If you escape from the west and then take a detour to Jiaokoubao to the north through Taiyuan Province and then south, it will take more time"

......

Jiexiu County.

In the afternoon of this day, a group of cavalry suddenly appeared in the north of the county, about 300 or so, worn by the Ming army, and a big banner in the middle "Fenzhou Lian Zong".

At this time, although Jiexiu County was stuck at the north exit of the main road of the Bird Mouse Valley, after all, there was Lingshi County of Po Ximu in the south and Xu Dingchen of Fenzhou in the north, so naturally there was no garrison, but the county was Fan Yongdou's nest after all, and the city was extremely rich and there were many merchants, so it was natural to have the money to spontaneously prepare a group exercise.

However, at this time, the thirty-six thieves were marching eastward, and Jiexiu County, which did not have a regular army to defend it, was naturally panicked, and now suddenly arrived at a cavalry, although it was also under the banner of "regimental training", but they were "state training generals", or three hundred cavalry, so the county order and the county training general were on the city wall.

(At this time, Fenzhou has jurisdiction over three counties of Xiaoyi, Jiexiu and Pingyao)

At this time, Long Thirteen was already nineteen years old, and the muscles on his body were a little more, and his upper lip also had a short beard, plus he was tall, and after wearing a mountain armor, he could also be called majestic.

"Who's coming?"

The one who asked was the county magistrate, and he was an old man in his fifties - although once he was promoted in the examination, he would have the capital to become an official and automatically enter the ranks of the gentry, but if he wanted to get a real shortage as soon as possible, he still needed connections, money, and opportunities.

Once you get the position of county magistrate of a large county or a rich county like Jiexiu County, if it is still in the Chengping period, you can fill in all the expenses incurred during the period of waiting for "filling the vacancy" in the city officials in three years, and you can also earn a lot of money to settle down.

Five years later, even if he lost this position, after returning to his hometown, he was able to take out a sum of money to buy a large number of fields and houses, and then accept a few concubines, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, this scene was very common, and it almost never changed.

So, when the worried county commander in the past few days saw that Fenzhou Lian Zong actually sent 300 cavalry to support, he was naturally very happy, but that Jiexiu County Lian Zong was Fan Yongdou's brother, his name is Fan Yonghe, Jiexiu County was born in martial arts, compared to the county order, obviously still has some experience.

"Isn't Sun Chuanting's Fenzhou Lian always in Wucheng? Why did you suddenly appear here? Could it be that Wu Cheng has been broken through by thieves? ”

Then he asked loudly, "Isn't Sun Lian always in Wucheng?" How did you get here? ”

Long Thirteen secretly thought: "If you say that Wucheng is not lost, and is sent by the governor to support here, people will obviously not believe it, at this time, the Ming army is almost all 'everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door, who cares about the frost on the tiles of others', unless you take the initiative to ask for reinforcements, people will not care"

Then he said: "No, Wu Cheng...... A few days ago, unfortunately it was broken by thieves, our department saw the opportunity quickly, and retreated first, only losing some infantry troops, after arriving in Fenzhou, Xu Junmen arranged for me to come to support Jiexiu"

Fan Yonghe asked again, "May I ask who Your Excellency is?" ”

Long 13 replied: "I am Xu Yanqi, the deputy head of the practice!" ”

Long Thirteen's body has recovered now, and he has also refined to the terrifying point of 88 in force and 85 in domination, which will be reflected in his body, and when he speaks, it is definitely "as loud as a bell", he remembers that he Xu Yanqi spoke like this.

That Fan Yonghe was stunned, although the two sides were far away at the moment, he could still see the figure of Long Thirteen, that Xu Yanqi was from Lingshi County, he had naturally seen it, although he was not very familiar with it, but his figure was still remembered.

Compared with the current person, the height and voice are quite similar, but this body?

Seeing him hesitate, Long 13 said in a bad heart, "This guy has obviously seen Xu Yanqi before, that guy is a stout man, but I am a jade tree in the wind, slender and straight, I should have worn an extra armor if I knew this, could it be that Lao Tzu's plan to conquer the city this time is going to be over?" ”

At this time, Long Xiaoshi stood up.

"Fan Yonghe!"

Fan Yonghe took a look, "Isn't this Sun Chuanting's brother-in-law Shi Xiaolong?" Although he is Sun Chuanting's concubine

Younger brother, but his sister gave birth to the only son for Sun Chuanting, I also saw this person when I met Sun Chuanting when I went to Daizhou the year before last, he entered the state school at the age of twelve, but he is much better than me"

"I didn't enter martial arts until I was thirty years old"

He didn't know that Long Xiaoshi had disappeared in the past two years, and thought he was still in Daizhou, but he didn't expect to be with Sun Chuanting!

Now the only doubt in his heart was gone.

"County Zun, that young man is the brother-in-law of Sun Chuanting, the former Jixun Shiro"

"Huh?" Although it does not have the real power of the Wenxuan Division and the Examination Division, it is extremely noble, and it is still the first choice within the Ministry when the left and right servants of the Ministry are to be elected, which is also the balance of the imperial court.

For the former official who was idle at home but took the initiative to serve as the "state practice general", this county magistrate has been admired for a long time.

"Open the door!"
