"Dragon Thirteen, from this one mission onwards, you need to check the victory conditions and some hidden conditions in advance, which is related to whether you can finally obtain all the skills and the cultivation of Long Xiaoshi"

Lingshi County, located in the valley water (later because of irrigation disappeared without a trace) into the Fen River, the danger of the valley water, no less than the Bird Mouse Valley, therefore, according to the valley water although you can also arrive from Jiexiu County to Lingshi County, but because you can't take a cart, you can't carry too much baggage.

As a result, they could only pass lightly armed infantry troops, but Long Thirteen still brought his own 100 cavalry, 200 pikemen, and Bai Wenxuan pikemen over this time.

They smoothly followed the valley water to Jingsheng Fort in the northeast corner of Lingshi County.

This is a hundred forts, just stuck in the valley of the valley of the dangerous place, the previous hundred forts have long become a peasant fort, the fort can really hold knives and guns on the battlefield will not exceed twenty people, so, Long 13 let people climb the mountain and cross the ridge to go around to the front of Jingsheng Fort, and then directly break into the fort before it closes the castle door.

Since they came under the banner of the Ming army, although they arrived in Lingshi County from Jiexiu County generally through the Bird Mouse Valley, they did not take the road of Gushui at all, not to mention that this is just a small fort with no defense?

It didn't take much effort to occupy this fort, and continued to take over the city defense in the name of the Ming army in the name of guarding against thieves, and then imposed a three-day ban on the fort that was only allowed to enter and not leave.

For all this, the people in the fort, including the hundred households, have no objections, although it is the spring ploughing season now, they can still endure three days of hard work.

After taking over the defense of Jingsheng Fort, Long 13 left thirty pikemen to continue to enforce the ban, and he took the remaining men and horses out of the fort, and then ambushed them on the mountains near Lingshi County.

The next day, I saw that Gou Fuwei really went out of the county seat, and took away about 1,000 cavalry, Long 13 saw clearly on the mountain, there were about 300 cavalry, 700 infantry troops, plus the people who escorted grain and grass, a total of about 1,500 people.

According to the information obtained by Li Zhanchun, there are at least 500 cavalry in the city, and if you add the young and strong people in the city, there are at least 2,000 guards.

He turned around and looked at his men and horses, there were less than 400 pikemen and 100 cavalry, with this amount of troops, even if Po Ximu left, could he take the county seat?

What's more, although Po Ximu rode away with a thousand steps, as long as he launched an attack, Po Ximu would soon be able to return from the Bird Mouse Valley Post Road!

It is only fifty or sixty miles from Jiexiu County to Lingshi County, and Po Ximu's cavalry will arrive in two hours if it is fast.

Po Ximu set out in the morning, and Long 13 prepared to take the city gate from its south gate from its south gate, disguised as the troops of Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Xuanda, who came from the south, and take the city gate as if it were Jingsheng Fort, and then the main force that was ambushed on the mountain came down again.

However, there were unforeseen circumstances, and in the evening, Po Ximu suddenly returned!

Although he didn't know what was going on, Long Thirteen knew that today's attack would not work, Po Ximu was not Sun Chuanting, as a guerrilla general, or a martial artist, he must have guarded the city gate very tightly.

But he didn't give up and decided to stay where he was for the night.

In early spring, Mianshan was full of resuscitated flies, mosquitoes and all kinds of insects, and the temperature immediately dropped to about zero degrees at night, which made people extremely uncomfortable, but in order to realize his plan of "dominating the storm", he still held back.

In order not to be discovered, his hundred horsemen were still farther away.

In the afternoon of the next day, a team came out from Lingshi County.

A small team, about more than ten people, but it is full of honor guards, there are two cavalry in front, holding a flag of the official to open the way, on which is written the words "patrol according to the imperial history of Shanxi", in the middle is a four-carrying official sedan chair, behind is two people riding horses and several officials holding flags.

These people came out of the south gate of Lingshi County, and then ran to the south, apparently to Huozhou or Pingyang Mansion.

In the south of Jiexiu County in the north, the Lingshikou Pass, which is stuck in the mountain pass, has been taken down by Long Thirteen, that is to say, this Shanxi Governor Yushi obviously did not come from Taiyuan Mansion through Jiexiu County.

He summoned Long Xiaoshi.

"Big boss, in this case, this person must have come from the hot spring fort, starting from the hot spring fort, there is a post road leading to the middle of the Bird Mouse Valley, not far north of Lingshi County, the hot spring fort is a large military fort second only to Wucheng in the valley mountain, this person is obviously to check the situation of the official army encircling and suppressing Gao Yingxiang's department."

(Hot Spring Fort, later Jiaokou County)

"Knowing that this person is coming, Po Ximu, who has gone halfway, has to come back again, although the patrol is only a seven-rank official, but he is humble and powerful, and he can impeach all civil and military officials in a province, including Po Ximu, so even if there is a hundred thousand urgent military intelligence, Po Ximu has to turn back."

"Then after resting in the county seat for one night, this person continued to go south to supervise the people of Pingyang Mansion under the command of Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Xuanda."

Long Thirteen's eyes lit up when he heard this.

......

Bird Mouse Valley.

The so-called Bird Mouse Valley, refers to the north of Lingshi County Liangdu Pass (later Liangdu Town), all the way to the south of the Yin Di Pass (later Nanguan Town) of this section of the Fen River Valley, because both sides are lofty mountains and mountains, in ancient times it was believed that even the birds, rats are difficult to pass, so there is this name.

In the Ming Dynasty, it has become the main post road from Guanzhong and Henan to Datong and Beijing, but this section of the post road is only about two meters wide, and it can only pass through a big car, which is still extremely steep.

Zhang Zhensun, the imperial historian of Shanxi, sat in a sedan chair, looking like his eyes were closed, but in fact, his left eyelid was beating slightly, obviously thinking about things.

At present, in the whole of Shanxi, in addition to him, a civil official, there is also a eunuch in Ningwuguan, who is not only the supervisor of Shanxi Town, but also the top boss of the mine supervisor in charge of the inner court in Shanxi, and the righteous son of Wang Zhixin, the eunuch who is now the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, the commander of the Dongchang and the Shenji Battalion.

Liu Yunzhong, the Imperial Horse Supervisor was originally transferred from the Zuo Young Eunuch of the Fourth Grade, and after being transferred to Shanxi, he hung the title of "Imperial Horse Supervisor and Eunuch" (just like the governors and governors of various places have the rank of squire of the military department, which is convenient for action) to supervise the military affairs of Taiyuan Mansion.

Zhang Zhensun supervised the military affairs of the states south of Taiyuan Prefecture, including Pingyang Prefecture, Fenzhou, Liaozhou, Qinzhou, Zezhou, and Luzhou.

When the thieves have gone east out of Gujishan, Zhang Zhensun has two large bandit teams under his jurisdiction, one is Zijinliang and so on, which has already gone east to Qinzhou, and the other is Gao Yingxiang and others, and now because the army of Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Xuanda, has blocked all the roads out of Gujishan in the east, so that it can not move in place.

So Zhang Zhensun had the idea of annihilating Gao Yingxiang in order to atone for his crime of "sitting back and watching the thief go straight to Liao and Qin Erzhou through Jinzhong".

Therefore, in the past few days, he has been patrolling various dangerous passes non-stop.

Of course, he was also taken aback when he learned of the danger of Jiexiu County from Po Ximu's mouth, but compared with the "Lighting the Rest of the Lamp" and Jiexiu County, Gao Yingxiang and the other fourteen families must be more important, not to mention that Po Ximu is a fierce general, and he believes that he can easily defeat the thieves.

Then drive the thieves to Qinzhou, because at this time, the imperial court has handed over the power to encircle and annihilate Zijin Liang and other departments to Lu Xiangsheng, and the Northern Zhili (Hebei area) patrols the imperial history supervision army, then it is none of his business, he only needs to pay attention to Gao Yingxiang's way.

"Hu Dawei is in the north, He Renlong is in the hot spring fort, there are Li Bei and Bai'an in the south, there is Zuo Liangyu in Xizhou, and the Yellow River has thawed, where can the thieves escape?"

The thief in his heart is naturally Gao Yingxiang, and now he is one of the three major thieves in the eyes of the imperial court (the other two: Zijin Liang Wang for his own use, and Zhang Mengcun who does not touch the mud).

“......”

Just thinking about it, there was a sudden commotion outside, and Zhang Zhensun frowned, "These officials are becoming more and more unruly, and when this matter is over, I will replace these local officials after returning to Taiyuan!"

"Master"

The voice of Zhang Si came from the suburbs.

"What?"

"A group of officers and soldiers followed, about dozens of horses, who followed me unhurriedly and waited, and the small ones went up to ask, but they ignored me and waited."

"Officers and soldiers? There is only one Po Xi Mu near here, how can there be any officers and soldiers? Could it be that Po Ximu didn't worry about us waiting, and secretly sent people to guard us behind? But it's hard to say? ”

"But once such a thing happens, what is it difficult to say? By the way, it is estimated that those military leaders are stupid, forget it, let him go, Po Ximu is still quite good at things"

Not long after, there was a col in front of him, which was also one of the few places where the road was wider in the entire Bird Mouse Valley Road, where two large cars could be paralleled, Zhang Zhensun sympathized with the sedan chair driver, so he stopped the sedan chair and prepared to rest here for a while.

At this moment, the cavalry that had been following behind suddenly rushed up, some of them rushed over the sedan chair to the front, and the other part stopped, tightly surrounding Zhang Zhensun and the others!

"Bold!"

Zhang Zhensun was the one who had a disagreement with Yuan Jixian, the master of the Shanxi celebrity Fu Shan, and falsely accused Yuan Jixian of being imprisoned in the Criminal Department, which then caused Fu Shan to bring a group of scholars to Beijing to make trouble.

At this time, when I saw this scene, I was naturally horrified.

"...... you wait"

He pointed to the man who was walking towards him, and his voice trembled a little.

Naturally, it was Long Thirteen, he had been following Zhang Zhensun, but because the road was too narrow, he had never had a chance to start, and now that he finally got the opportunity, how could he let it go easily?

"Hello, Zhang Xunpress, my name is Long Thirteen, and I am a thief"

Long Thirteen's way of greeting and attitude almost made Zhang Zhensun faint.

......

An hour later.

It was still a four-lift sedan chair, surrounded by eighteen entourages, some riding horses, and some playing the sign of patrolling the imperial history, and they returned to Lingshi County!

This is naturally Long Thirteen and his party, except for Zhang Zhensun, who was gagged and tied up in the sedan chair, the rest of the people were replaced by Long Thirteen.

For this patrol of the imperial history that even Po Ximu did not dare to slacken, the soldiers guarding the city did not dare to offend, and quickly knelt down to let him pass, Long 13 stuck the sedan chair at the city gate, and then said to the people guarding the city, "I'm not busy, I just walked halfway, and I happened to meet the people of the governor of Xuanda, so I turned back again, and they arrived immediately."

The defenders did not dare to have the slightest suspicion.

All this has not changed from the time of departure, because for them, when Zhang Zhensun's sedan chair went out of the city, they only knelt aside, and they didn't see clearly who was riding the horse and who was holding the sign.

It didn't take long for Long Thirteen's brigade of cavalry to finally arrive, of course, the reason why they were a little late was because they needed to inform Bai Wenxuan's infantry army, which was still lying in ambush on the mountain!

"Governor Xuanda has arrived!"

I could only hear Bai Wenxuan yelling.

At this time, the inspectors were all real civil officials, and when they went out on patrol, they still followed the rules of sitting in a sedan chair, but the governor, the governor and others were all civilian officials who had always been able to "know the soldiers", so it was impossible for them to sit in a sedan chair to command the war when they were marching unless they were in the city.

As soon as they heard that the "Governor of Xuanda" had arrived, the sergeants guarding the city were busy kneeling on the ground again.

At this time, Mr. Qian, who was left in the city, also hurried over.

He also knelt on the ground to greet the two superiors.

"Boom ......"

Long Thirteen drew his long knife at this time!

After a flash of light, Mr. Qian immediately turned his head in a different place!

Long Thirteen once again deceived Lingshi County!
