Chapter 5 Descent

The warm sun in winter hung in the air, and a team of nearly 10,000 people stepped on the snow and went north on Yanfen Water.

It was still early, and it was still a good time to march, but Gao Huan, the assassin of Jinju, had already ordered to set up camp.

Although he stopped and stopped all the way, Gao Huan really brought out all his family background, except for leaving a small number of soldiers to guard Jinzhou with Wei Jing.

After all, once Er Zhu Zhao was defeated, he had the intention of capturing Jinyang.

At the beginning, he entered the enemy camp alone, and with his appeal, he pried away more than 10,000 people from Ge Rong's hundreds of thousands of troops before the war, which is the reliance he now covets Jinyang.

Although Hebei is good, but after all, it is only a mirror, Jinyang is really visible and touchable, Gao Huan still remembers the horses in the valley with Er Zhurong in color.

There are many villages scattered along the Fenshui River, but Gao Huan is not prepared to occupy the magpie's nest, let alone allow soldiers to demolish people's houses.

The Erzhu clan is brutal, and if he wants to replace him, he must be benevolent and righteous and win the hearts of the people.

Gao Huan glanced around, and finally found Gao Cheng's figure in the crowd: he was following behind his uncle Wei Digan, learning about camping.

Di Gan is upright and stern, and Gao Huan is also relieved to hand over the camping matters to him to arrange.

"So whether it's camping or marching, the first thing is water."

Although Di Gan was notoriously stuffy under Gao Huan, he still taught Gao Cheng military knowledge in detail.

Gao Cheng nodded, he understands this, after all, in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it is written that Ma Jian was cut off from the water source, and the people were in chaos.

"Qiao Cai is related to the sergeants building camps, lighting fires and cooking, and it cannot be ignored."

He pointed to a small forest not far away.

Gao Cheng looked in the direction pointed by Di Gan, and sure enough, many soldiers went into the forest to cut wood.

"The second is to find a place with a wide field of vision, Gao Gong chose a slightly higher terrain today, close to the water source, and there is no shortage of wood, which is the best choice for camping."

"After camping, the soldiers are relaxed, and it is even more necessary to send scouts to monitor the movements around them, and all things in the camp need to be arranged for people to rotate.

Gao Cheng kept all of Di Gan's teachings in his heart, and he followed the army with the intention of learning military knowledge.

As Duan Rong said, in this era, the lord still needs to know some martial arts.

On this expedition, Gao Cheng finally met the rest of Gao Huan's generals except for his relatives.

For example, Xue Guyan, a generation introduced by Liu Gui, Mo Duolou Daiwen and Han Rail from Da'an, and Pan Le from Guangning.

Among them, Han Rail and Gao Cheng also have some kinship, Han Rail's sister Han Zhizhi is Gao Huan's first love, but unfortunately due to his poor family background, his marriage was rejected by the Han family.

After Gao Huan's career, it coincided with Han Zhizhi's funeral, and Gao Huan was a helpful person, so he was enthusiastic to help Han Zhizhi reorganize his family.

is both a first love and a widow, for Gao Huan, it is really double the happiness.

Gao Cheng also had his first concubine, but fortunately, Han Zhizhi knew Lou Zhaojun's status in the family, and they didn't fight or grab, and they got along with each other quite well.

.......

"Didn't He Liuhun send troops early? Why is it not seen today? ”

Er Zhu Zhao was really anxious, and he waited for several days to no avail, and his patience was almost exhausted.

"Maybe it's because the snow is so deep that it's hard to march."

It was Liu Gui who stood up again to break the siege.

"Send someone south to find He Liuhun's team again, and urge him to go north quickly."

Er Zhu Zhao said angrily.

Suddenly, another sergeant entered the camp to report that the six towns had made trouble again, but fortunately, the scale was not large and was quelled.

"These killers!"

Er Zhu Zhao was angry, after Ge Rong's defeat, Er Zhu Rong chose to surrender, and the remaining more than 200,000 people did not dare to be placed in the rich land of Hebei, and moved them to the two states of Merge and Wanton to settle down, and they were bullied by Qihu.

In just three years, there were 26 rebellions, and they fell into a cycle of rebellion and rebellion.

Why don't you just slaughter it?

Just because Er Zhurong made his fortune by suppressing the uprising in the six towns, and most of his subordinates were born in the six towns, once these villagers were slaughtered, it was inevitable that the army's morale would be shaken.

Therefore, in the troubled times, force is the foundation, and the Erzhu clan, who was unrelenting to the ministers of Heyin Tu, was helpless against a group of descendants.

"Why don't the generals hand over all the people from the six towns to He Liuhun in exchange for his reinforcements, since it is profitable, He Liuhun will definitely go north quickly."

As soon as Liu Gui's words fell, Murong Shaozong on the side couldn't hold back and objected:

"No, He Liuhun is a hero of Beizhen, and he has a lot of prestige among the people of the six towns, and now he puts the people of the six towns under his command, how can he control it in the future?"

"Why did Murong Changshi increase He Liuhun's ambition, destroy the general's prestige, and the general ruled the four seas, how dare He Liuhun have different intentions."

Liu Gui finally took advantage of this opportunity, so he naturally refused to give up and competed against each other.

"General, there are 200,000 people in the six towns, and you can't give it to people easily."

Murong Shaozong was too lazy to debate with Liu Gui, and he knew exactly what the relationship between Liu Gui and He Liuhun was, and said directly.

"General, although there are many people in the six towns, most of them are women, children, old and weak, and among them, the brave has been selected by the heavenly pillars, although there are many people, what is there to fear."

Erzhu Zhao was faintly moved.

Liu Gui strikes while the iron is hot:

"Besides, if the general can't pacify the thieves in Hexi for a long time, he will be despised by others, and the gains and losses are comparable, so why should he be stingy with a group of women and children."

These words hit the nail on the head of Zhu Zhao's heart.

At the beginning, Er Zhurong, as the leader of the Erzhu clan, led the Jinyang elite cavalry to conquer the Quartet, and repeatedly won more with less, creating a supreme prestige.

Now he is leading the Jinyang army and is promoted as the head of the Erzhu clan, but he can't even help a thief in Hexi.

This makes it possible for his generals to see him, and for ambitious relatives to see him.

After all, he is only Er Zhurong's cousin, not a parent, and his roots are basically unstable, otherwise he would not have intimidated Er Zhu Shilong to subdue him.

Murong Shaozong wanted to persuade again, but he raised his hand to stop him.

"I have made up my mind, Liu Gui, you will send someone to inform He Liuhun that I am willing to surrender all the people from Beizhen in the two prefectures under his command."

"Obey the orders of the general."

Liu Gui suppressed the excitement in his heart and responded.

Murong Shaozong could only sigh secretly: General Tianzhu had only been dead for a few months, and his teachings had already been completely forgotten.

Liu Gui returned to his tent, worried that something would go wrong on the way of the messenger, so he simply called a number of henchmen and said:

"You wait for the speed of Yanfenshui to go south, and inform Gao Jinzhou that the general is willing to surrender people in the six towns in exchange for reinforcements, please don't hesitate in Gao Jinzhou."

Liu Gui is full of confidence, he knows Er Zhuzhao very well, he is a bit brutal, but he values faith and righteousness, and he will not regret what he promised.

Sending his henchmen out of the camp, Liu Gui looked at the south and whispered to himself:

"He Liuhun, I have finally fulfilled your request."
