With the Taishan army out of the west, successively captured Mu County, Fenggao, and on the fourth day after entering Fenggao, the three divisions of the commander of the left lieutenant went down the Yingwen River, and the straight canal won the county, and the city was conquered in one day.

Since then, the entire Laiwu Valley has been occupied by Zhang Chong, and their Taishan army has also occupied Tugu County in the north of Mount Tai, west to Mount Tai, west to the entire Laiwu Valley, and east to the hundreds of miles of Yimeng Mountain.

Time flew into the sixth year of Guanghe, no one expected that Zhang Chong's Taishan army could come to Wugu for so long, just this half a year, Zhang Chong's mutual aid manor in Wenyang harvested, and the strong grain tax in the valley added up, Zhang Chong collected 2 million stone of grain before and after. It can be said that for a long time, Zhang Chong's Taishan army was not short of food.

In addition, the thieves of Lushan also took refuge in the Taishan army one after another due to lack of food. Here I want to talk about Xi Shen's great achievements in it. Originally, there was a thief in Lushan, with thousands of people, who originally promised to take refuge in the Taishan army, so Xi Shen, the cavalry general at that time, took the initiative to invite Ying into Lushan to recruit these gangsters. Xi Shen only took ten soldiers into the mountain, originally things went well, Lu Shankou also planned to find a stable backer, but the banquet over there was just over, and the thieves over there returned, saying that they would rather be the head of the chicken than the tail of the phoenix.

If it were an ordinary person, it would be a mess, and even if it was not handled well, he would have to throw his life inside. But this Xi Shen accurately discovered the general psychology of seeking food among the Lushan thieves, and its backbone thieves all wanted to join the thriving Taishan Army, but this Lushan thief was reluctant to have the power in his hands and insisted on going his own way. Then Xi Shen took his ten soldiers to break into the thief's tent, and directly executed the thief, and then falsely passed on the thief's order, ordering the Lushan thieves to pull out the thief and go out of the mountain to surrender.

After this battle, Xi Shen was directly promoted to a foreign army as a general, and his own army was selected from the 1,000-person Lu Shankou. It can be said that Xi Shen is up.

Then on the Jinan side, Zhang Chong's senior brother bearded man corresponded with Zhang Chong for half a year, at the beginning of the Jizhou headquarters continued to apply for punishment, and it had reached the point of expelling Zhang Chong's membership, but with Zhang Chong's victories in the Wugu Valley one after another, and finally even completely occupied the Wugu land, the tone of the Jizhou side has become more and more soft, and finally directly put the Jinan Qukui Tang Zhou to work in the Jizhou headquarters, and Ma Yuanyi, who came back from the left, is specifically responsible for the work of Kyoto Taiping Road, and the Qu Kui of Jinan Taiping Road is served by the sacrifice grandson.

After Zhang Chong heard that Tang Zhou was transferred, he was quite regretful, not that he was reluctant to be this opponent, but if he was transferred, he would definitely personally lead the team to enter Dongpingling again and kill him. But now that Tang Zhou has gone to Hebei, he is more likely to go to Kyoto later, so this matter can only be put aside for now.

In addition to this bad news, there is still good news on Taiping Road. As he gained a firm foothold in the Laiwu Valley in central and southern Lu, his prestige within the sect now skyrocketed.

Now even the Taiping Dao colleagues in Jingzhou know that Zhang Chong, a disciple of Rengongguan, known as General Shi, has become the first righteous person in the sect. Although the time for the great uprising had not yet arrived, the Taishan side started in the name of the Taishan thieves, but the victory of the friendly side undoubtedly greatly enhanced the confidence of all parties. After all, whoever launched a rebellion against the 400-year-old Han family was a little lacking in confidence.

Didn't you hear that? With the problem of Tiangong's health, the daily teaching affairs have been presided over by the more capable Rengong, and the Rengong family has risen in momentum since then, and there are even people in the sect who can't wait for Jiazi Nian and are about to start an incident. If it weren't for the fact that Rengong himself couldn't figure it out, he felt that "the sky is dead, and the world is auspicious" can bless all parties, because since ancient times, it has been said that the year of Jiazi has been reincarnated, in fact, in the year of Jiazi, it is the great cause of the sky on behalf of Huang Tian. Therefore, the public still reaffirmed that all parties must accumulate strength according to the original plan.

And all this is the impact of Zhang Chong's capture of Wugudi.

But this influence, to be honest, is still limited to Taiping Road, because Zhang Chong did not move again after he hit Wugu, but stayed in Fenggao and Tuntian to train troops. Therefore, the fall of Laiwugu did not have any impact on the world. Even, if it weren't for the fact that Feng Gao's plan didn't arrive in Kyoto this year, maybe Liu Hong of the country might not have known about it.

Originally, when Zhang Ju led the remnants of 400 soldiers to run from the West City Gate, he did not send a military report to Kyoto, but moved the army directly to the south, and stopped in Liangfu County through Culai Mountain, but later felt that it was still too close to Fenggao, and moved all the way to the westernmost mountain city of Nimeng Road, Nanwuyang, and retreated 200 miles in a row.

Zhang Ju was still a little bit out of things, and hurriedly withdrew from Fenggao, but he brought all the things he should have brought, whether it was the county shou seal ribbon or the Taishou Lu Gai, or his little wife in Fenggao, he didn't lose anything.

As soon as Zhang Ju arrived in Nanwuyang, he stationed the Fei County battalion at the easternmost valley mouth of the Nemon Pass with the Taishou Seal Transmission Talisman, and the whole army moved to Nanwuyang. Then it was spread that the three counties in the south of the county, that is, the three counties of Nanwuyang, Feiguo, and Nancheng, and the county soldiers of the seven cities each moved 500 troops, all of whom were stationed in the hills and hills of Mengshan on the north side of Nanwuyang. As for Liangfu, Juping, and Bo counties in the central part of the county, as well as Chixian in the northwest of the county, they can only settle their own destiny.

With such a dispatch, Zhang Jucai was stationed in Nanwuyang with peace of mind. Originally, his idea was to organize an army of thieves in the south of the county, in addition to the 500 battalions of Fei Guo and the 1,500 soldiers of the three counties in the south of the county, and then recruit the troops of the Nancheng Yang clan, and then recruit the three counties and townsmen, so as to build an army of 5,000 people.

But the first step in preparing for the army collapsed. With the exchange of letters between the heroes of Mount Tai, how strong is the strength of the Taishan army, the heroes of these counties are becoming more and more clear.

In particular, Hu's mother's family and Nancheng's sheep family have been friends for generations, through the wording of Hu's mother's family, they said this, although they are in the enemy's territory, and they don't want to return to the arms of the Han Dynasty every day, but there is one thing to say, the ether guards Zhang Ju's talents, as well as the local strength of Taishan, are simply not enough to recover the three counties in the east of the county. Hu Muban said that this time the Taishan thief is more fierce and violent than Gongsun Ju twenty years ago, so don't fight in a wasted way, come to send, you must wait until the two soldiers from the north and south of the imperial court come, and the soldiers will press the border and capture the thief in one fell swoop. Hu Muban also said in the letter that when the time comes, he will lead Gao Haoqiang to cooperate with the outside world and recover his homeland in one fell swoop.

Hu Muban's words are deep and meaningful, and Yang Zhi can't be treated with caution. Therefore, it is natural that under the private tandem of the three counties in the south of the county, the result of the unanimous result is that the town is quiet, waiting for the two armies of the north and south to arrive, and then carrying out a thunderous blow to the Taishan thieves entrenched in the east of the county.

But in addition to the high-sounding reasons above, the unwillingness to put out fires for this failed Taishou and consume his own troops is the most practical reason why these heroes are not on the table.

And once the heroes in the south of the county clearly rejected Zhang Ju, Zhang Ju knew that his career was over, and in the end, he had no choice but to write to the country about the loss of Fenggao.

But it was so coincidental that when the fast horses of Taishan County arrived in Kyoto in July, the country was dealing with the affairs of Ba County, and this strong army of the Han court, which had conscripted the loyal soldiers of the Qiang Rebellion for the country several times, could not bear the destruction of the local county officials, and finally reversed.

To be honest, neither the previous Qiang people nor the current Ban Yuman are ambitious subversives, but they are really unbearable to be forced by the local county officials to have to rebel.

Loyal and righteous soldiers like Ban Yuman, who have made meritorious contributions to the state several times, do not mention that they do not have due kindness, and do not treat them as human beings, and they are servants and too servants. The military service of the Ban Yuman was already heavy, and they had to be heavily paid, and they were originally sold for blood in exchange for a peaceful family, but now what? Even selling wives and children is not enough to fill the desires of the county officials. So what to do?

At this level, these banyu barbarians have no intention of rebelling, after all, they are loyal soldiers of the Han Court, and several generations have been born and died for the Han Court. So they went to the Taishou to redress their grievances, but the Taishou of the Han family was just a sitting Taishou, and it was those officials who were in charge, and they were the Taishou who were standing. So what's the use of avenging, and in the end it's not the opposite?

So when the country Liu Hong had a headache for Ba County's Ban Yu, Zhang Changshi, as his father, naturally felt sorry for Liu Hong, so he deducted Taishan County's recital very intimately.

In Zhang Rang's opinion, these Taishan thieves can't get ringworm scabies, this Taishan people are born anti-bones, and they don't know how many times they have betrayed. But so what? As soon as the soldiers of the imperial court arrived, they did not melt into the sky like frost and snow. So, this thief can't be killed, so why hurry.

Therefore, the imperial court didn't care about the mess of Taishan County, and this made Zhang Ju too bitter, so he could only continue to be his Taishou, fearful, for fear that the Taishan soldiers would cross Mengshan and kill him.

Then well, by the end of this year, Taishan's plan did not go, and the country Liu Hong finally knew about Taishan's situation. Originally, Liu Hong still planned to let Zhang Ju make meritorious service, after all, it is better to make meritorious service. But at that time, some courtiers objected, saying that Taishou's failure to die with the city was already out of order, and how could he be allowed to lead the troops again. Some people objected, but Liu Hong did not insist, so he dismissed Zhang Ju. After that, Zhang Ju cycled back to his hometown in Yuyang and got rid of the whirlpool of Mount Tai.

Although in the end, the imperial court still found that Taishan thieves were troubled in the prefecture and county, but no matter what, Taishan Fang still came to Wugudi, a place of plastering and recuperation, for half a year, in this process, although Zhang Chong's strength did not increase greatly, but the overall strength has undergone earth-shaking changes.

There are 6,000 people in the whole army, and the armor rate has reached fifty percent, and the part of the armor stomach that is supplemented is the captured Fenggao soldiers, and more is built by the craftsman battalion of the Taishan Army in the past six months. Thanks to the replenishment of Dongpingling's craftsmen and the use of water drains, the speed of forging iron sheets has been increased tenfold. This production capacity came up at once, and two thousand pairs of two-crotch armor were created in half a year, and after equipping the whole army, it directly made the whole army's ironclad team hit fifty percent. Now the whole army is full of soldiers and horses, all of them are veterans who have stood on the battlefield for a long time, and this will be a complete fighting tool, it can be said that the current Taishan soldiers can really fight with the imperial court encirclement and suppression soldiers.

Of course, what is more important to Taishan is that Zhao E gave birth to a son to Qukui Zhang Chong, which is the inheritance of their Taishan army, so Zhang Chong named his son, Zhang Cheng.

Then the last day of the fifth year of light and the end of a goose feather snow, and the magnificent light and six years came.
