Chapter 33: Wudu 1

In March of the fourth year of Yonghe, the pseudo-Zhao Shihu dreamed that the dragon flew to the southwest, landed from the sky, and asked Chenggong. Gong said: Disaster is coming, Your Majesty should be kind to your father and son, and be cautious. In April, the puppet Zhao Qin Gongtao set up the Xuanguang Palace in the Taiwei Mansion, and the beam was nine zhang long. The prince declared that he was evil, and the craftsman cut off the beam. Tao is angry, and it is ten feet higher.

------------- excerpt from the introduction

"Is this the water of the Western Han Dynasty?" Looking at the crystal clear river in front of him, Zeng Hua sighed in his heart. The slowly flowing river water is actually as clear and clear as the water I saw in Jiuzhaigou before. It's just that the water of Jiuzhaigou has a quiet and pure beauty, and the water of the Western Han Dynasty has a dynamic and true rhyme.

When he came to the riverside, Zeng Hua squatted down and stretched out his right hand. The river water in early spring is still so cold, but it is no longer as cold as in winter. Zeng Hua couldn't help but gently pick up a handful of river water, put it to his mouth, and took a sip beautifully. It's really sweet to the heart, and it's much better than that slightly sweet so-and-so water.

Zeng Hua rubbed his mouth, blinked with satisfaction, and looked ahead carefully, feeling that the river was not very deep, and some places could actually see the stones at the bottom of the river.

"Why is this river so shallow?" Zeng Hua turned his head and asked Jiang Nan, who is now very trusted by everyone. After all, Jiang Nan brought everyone here very conscientiously along the way, and also formed a "deep revolutionary friendship" with everyone in the arduous and harsh marching environment.

"Lord Hui, this is the upper reaches of the Western Han River, which is mostly formed by the spring water of the melting snow stream, and it is early spring in February, so it is naturally not deep enough." Jiang Nan, who was standing beside him, hurriedly replied.

"My lord, Wei Xingguo has already gone up and down to inspect whether there is a suitable place to cross the river, and it seems that the news has been reported back soon." Le Changshan then added.

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. As soon as Le Changshan mentioned that Wei Xingguo was just a pillar of incense, Wei Xingguo came in a hurry.

"My lord! My lord! We've found a place to cross the river. Just a mile or so upstream, I sent a few men to the opposite bank, the deepest point of which was not more than my chest. ”

Not to the chest? How deep is it? Yao Ming's chest was still flooded with my top. Zeng Hua glared at Wei Xingguo angrily, "What are you yelling about?" Forget about the prohibition of loud noises. ”

Wei Xingguo, who was still a loudspeaker just now, immediately closed his mouth.

"Changjun, you take the right Tunmo swordsman to the place where Wei Xingguo found to cross the river first, and then occupy the dangerous terrain to cover the brigade to cross the river." Zeng Hua first named Zhao Fu's name. Zhao Fu was silent but had a plan for everything, so Zeng Hua was most at ease with him.

"Yes, sir!" Zhao Fu agreed, turned around and left.

"Xingguo, Leshan, you command the battalions to follow the right Tunmo swordsman across the river. Yuanqing, you lead Zuo Tun Mo after the knife is broken. After receiving the order, everyone quickly went to the various ministries and began to carry out their respective tasks.

"Jiang Nan, we're not in a hurry." Now Zeng Hua only has Jiang Nan and a few guards left by his side.

"Is that Qiu Chi Mountain?" Zeng Hua asked, pointing to the majestic mountain in the southeast.

"Yes, my lord! That is Qiu Chi Mountain. This mountain is steep on all sides, the shape is like a covered pot, 3,000 feet high (the relative difference is 800 meters high), the road is like a sheep's intestine, the road is on the mountain, there are 24 passes, 36 plates, a total of 20 miles. The top of the mountain is more than ten miles round, the spring water is abundant, there are 100 hectares of flat land, thousands of acres of fertile land, so it is called "100 hectares of mountain", and can boil the soil into salt. It can be self-sufficient with more than 10,000 people. Jiang Nan replied in detail.

Zeng Hua and the others are now located in the upper reaches of Qiuchi Mountain for more than 20 miles, facing its northwest corner, the west bank of the Western Han River. After four days of rapid marching, the Liangzhou army avoided several areas where the Di people gathered, and went around to the opposite bank of Qiuchi Mountain from the west. However, there is a military stronghold opposite Qiuchi Mountain, guarding a pontoon bridge across the river.

In order to avoid startling the grass and snakes, Zeng Hua and the others went far to the upper reaches of the Western Han River, because they heard Jiang Nan say that the river there was relatively shallow and it was relatively easy to cross, and he had smuggled across the river with a few slaves the year before last.

Looking at Qiu Chi Mountain in the distance, Zeng Hua was silent for a long time before finally asking, "Jiang Nan, are you really sure that path will not be blocked and guarded by Qiu Chi Army?" ”

"Back to my lord! The trail is located in the mountains behind Qiuchi Mountain, surrounded by dense forests and cliffs. At the end of the trail, there is a checkpoint of the Qiu Chi Army, but it is not specifically to defend that trail. After all, Qiuchi Mountain is dozens of miles in circumference, and there are lofty mountains and mountains everywhere, and it is impossible for Qiuchi troops to fortify everywhere. And the trail was pointed out by one of the slaves who ran away with me. He was originally the son of a local medicine farmer, and he followed his grandfather a few times when he was a child, and very few people knew about it, and no one would know. Jiang Nan replied cautiously.

Zeng Hua nodded: "It's not that I can't rest assured, but this is related to the lives of my three thousand athletes in Liangzhou!" Not child's play. After a while, Zeng Hua sighed and continued: "But I have to take this risk, if there is any accident, I will fold here with them." ”

Zeng Hua shook his hand, stopped Jiang Nan's opening, and then said: "We have no way out, there is a glimmer of hope that we will also have a Bo Yibo!" We're running out of time. ”

Before Jiang Nan could figure out the meaning of Zeng Hua's last sentence, Duan Huan walked over, hugged his fists and said, "My lord! The left and right guard camps have crossed the river, please cross the river. ”

Zeng Hua did not hesitate to take off only a pair of pants in front of the three hundred Mo knife hands (this is of course Zeng Hua's unique invention), and then put the clothes. Armor and weapons are wrapped together and tied strongly.

When the cold wind blew, Zeng Hua felt that his smooth upper body was very cold, and he couldn't help waving his arms twice and his feet jumping twice. Suddenly, a soft laugh was heard. Hearing the sound, he turned his head to take a look, and found that the three hundred Mo Dao was undressing and leather armor at the same time, while secretly looking at himself and laughing.

Zeng Hua couldn't help but be happy, and scolded with a smile: "Haven't you seen the shirtless General Zhenbei and the Liangzhou Assassin History?" ”

Hearing this, the Zhong Mo swordsman couldn't help but laugh softly, and the atmosphere was suddenly extremely relaxed.

Zeng Hua held the package and was the first to walk into the West Han River. As soon as my feet stepped on the water, a chill quickly spread from the soles of my feet to my heart. Zeng Hua gritted his teeth and simply walked a few steps quickly, and the river quickly flooded to the lower part of his chest. Damn, it's really to the chest, it is estimated that Wei Xingguo really called a tall man who is not much different from his height and measured it, it seems that this Wei Xingguo looks five big and three thick, but in fact, his heart is still very thin.

Zeng Hua felt an icy chill quickly surround him, making him shiver a little involuntarily. Zeng Hua gritted his teeth and tried his best to resist the cold like a bone-piercing steel needle.

Zeng Hua's grandfather was a "revolutionary soldier", and in order to make his descendants become qualified "revolutionary soldiers", he began to train his sons and grandchildren as "revolutionary soldiers" when they were five or six years old.

At this time and space, Zeng Hua changed his identity, but he felt that his grandfather's training was very effective, at least his physical fitness was excellent. So he used that method in the training of his subordinates, and tried to make them become a "qualified defender of the Great Jin Dynasty!" ”

It seems that Zeng Hua's training is still relatively effective, wading in this cold and biting river, although everyone bites and endures shivering, but none of them flinch or can't hold on.

Zeng Hua was the first, and more than 300 people rushed to the east bank of the Western Han River with white air. Then they turned around, changed into a pair of dry pants, and put on their leather jackets and leather armor. Of course, Zeng Hua, as a "senior general", still has special treatment, and a rock behind it has become his temporary locker room.

Zeng Hua and the others quickly joined up with the large group of men and horses in front, and then quietly marched along the other side of the valley ridge to Qiuchi Mountain in the south. And the scouts scattered far away, carefully exploring the every move of the surrounding Qiu Chi army, Qiu Chi Di, and Qiang people.

"Report! A captive was captured in front, and it was said to be the cousin of Yang Chu, the leader of the Di people. "After noon, a spy came in a hurry.

Damn, it turned out to be an acquaintance! Zeng Hua looked at the few people who were escorted, and recognized the chubby man in front of him at a glance. Isn't this Yang Xu, who was bombarded back to Qiuchi by himself from Nanzheng?

"Lord Yang, we are really fated to meet here!" Zeng Hua said with a smile.

Seeing that the arrogant and insatiable Liangzhou Thorn Shi actually appeared less than ten miles north of the Wudu City of Qiuchi Mountain, and the thousands of soldiers looming behind him, no matter how stupid people were, they understood what was going on. What's more, this Yang Xu is not stupid.

This Liangzhou assassin Shi is really ****** a madman! deliberately bombed himself back, and then confronted the troops to Xingguan, it seems that it was to mobilize Qiu Chi's troops so that he could sneak attack Qiu Chi Wudu. But these people all fell from the sky, and they all went to the foot of Qiuchi Mountain, and no one has found them yet. It seems that the "Liangzhou Thorn History Society Witchcraft, which can shrink the ground into inches and fly across Guanshan" is very likely to be true!

Just as Yang Xu was thinking nonsense, Zeng Hua spoke again: "Old Yang, you are a smart person. Now there are two paths, you choose. If you want to live, let's talk about the situation in Qiu Chishan. If you don't want to say anything, just shut up, and I'll slash you with a knife, and then look at you and I for the sake of knowing each other, dig a pit and bury you, so that your flesh won't be damaged by wild beasts. ”

Yang Xu immediately shuddered, he was only in his forties, it was really a "good year", but he could cherish his body! immediately did not hesitate, and hurriedly took the initiative to explain.

Due to the Xingguan of Chen Bingwu in Liangzhou, it suddenly caused a lot of impact and shock to Qiu Chi. First of all, after most of the troops in Wudu and Qishan were transferred to Wuxing Pass, they were very tight. In order to defend the Northern Zhao in Guanzhong, Qishan barely maintained about 10,000 people, plus the men and horses urgently recruited. Qiu Chi Wudu is a little bad, there are only Yang Chu's henchmen and troops and urgently recruited people, and there are only 3,000 people and horses. Two thousand on the mountain, one thousand at the bottom of the mountain.

Moreover, in order to stabilize the internal situation in Qiuchi, Yang Chu summoned about 50 leaders of the major Qiang and Di tribes to Wudu in the name of discussing how to confront Liangzhou, just because he was afraid that these "soil emperors" with soldiers in their hands would take the opportunity to cause chaos.

As Yang Chutang's uncle, Yang Xu is a trusted confidant who is ordered to govern and lead the 1,000 enemy pond army in the city of raising horses under the mountain. But Yang Xu didn't have the energy to rectify the army and turn the tide. The day before yesterday, a small leader of the Di people in the north of Wudu sent someone to say that he was willing to sacrifice his daughter to Yang Xu in order to appease Yang Xu.

Just as the "national crisis" was "at the time of national crisis", Yang Xu, who led the troops in Yangma City, it was not easy to go up the mountain and return to the city to find the dozen concubines to talk about the love of their children, and it was the time to panic. I heard that the daughter of the little head man was a charming and lovely person, and suddenly couldn't help it, regardless of the cold and freezing, with only a fire in his chest, under the pretext of going to the north of the Diren tribe to collect some cattle, sheep and grain and grass back, he hurried out with a few personal soldiers, who knew that he hit Zeng Hua's arms headlong.

After listening to Yang Xu's words, Zeng Hua's heart couldn't help but move, it seems that this opportunity has been met again, and God is still very face-saving about this attack on Qiuchi. Then he began to interrogate Yang Xu carefully. Yang Xu was also generous, asking and answering, very simply, anyway, it has already come to this point, and there is nothing to be embarrassed about.

Zeng Hua immediately summoned a group of generals, muttered a lot, told his plan, and then completed the details with the generals, and a plan to outwit Qiu Chishan was released. Listening to everyone's flattery, Zeng Hua was still a little fluttering in addition to being "sober", who let us watch too many "revolutionary war films" of the former martial arts and guerrillas, and what strategy we had to think about it.

The night was already a little dark, and there was silence inside and outside the horse farm under Qiuchi Mountain. It is a fortress-type "multi-purpose castle" used for horse breeding and military defense. It is located at the foot of Qiuchi Mountain, just guarding the main road up the mountain, and it is the main war horse captive area of Qiuchi, near it, there is a large area of watery grass and fertile hills and pastures.

It turned out that there were 3,000 garrisons and more than 5,000 horses. But now that army has gone to Wuxing Pass to fight with the Liangzhou army, they are replaced by a thousand Yang family troops originally stationed on Qiuchi Mountain, guarding this Qiuchi Mountain fortress, and more than 2,000 war horses left.

The composition of Qiu Chi's pro-army is very strange, it is completely composed of internal soldiers and external soldiers. The internal soldiers are all composed of the children of the Di and Qiang nobles, while the outer Ding is all composed of the brave and martial children of the Di and Qiang commoners and herdsmen, and the ratio is about one to five, and all the generals and most of the officers are served by the internal soldiers. Although these internal soldiers still maintain their martial arts riding and archery skills, in this Qiu Chi Army, their biggest ability is to bully outsiders. All kinds of dirty work, tiring work, and death work are all done by outsiders, but these "arduous tasks" such as receiving merit are completed by internal soldiers.

This may have something to do with the current state of the Qiu Chi regime. The Yang family must rely on the leaders of the Di and Qiang tribes to support themselves, but it also wants to encircle a group of civilians and herdsmen for its own use, so as to fight against the leader's powerful forces. Thus in this delicate equilibrium this inexplicable pro-army arises.

However, the current pro-army in Yangma City still looks very normal, as usual, there are people on duty at the arrow sentry of the city tower, and there are also groups of soldiers patrolling around. No, this patrol ran into a detachment of men.

"Who?" The patrol team that saw the black shadow in front of them hurriedly shouted.

"We are the people of Tuoshantou, escorting the return of Lord Yang Xuyang, the guard of the Chinese army!" The black shadow hurriedly identified himself.

Tuoshantou people knew that they were preparing to sacrifice their daughter to Yang Xu, the little leader of the Di people. This news has spread all over Horse Raising City and even Qiu Chi Mountain, and even some good people have "rehearsed" the scene of how Yang Xu laughed at the daughter of Natuo Mountain.

The relieved patrol captain saw Yang Xu's spiritless face, and hurriedly smiled and asked Yang Xu for peace, but was scolded by Yang Xu, who had a bad temper, saying that he was not serious at all when he was on patrol duty, and then went straight to the middle army of Yangma City with more than 100 "Tuoshantou people's entourage".

The patrol captain, who was dazed by the scolding, hurriedly and quietly asked Yang Xu's entourage, what was going on? The "kind" entourage told the patrol captain that Yang Xu had not yet arrived at the Tuoshantou people and was attacked by an inexplicable team, if it wasn't for the "Tuoshantou people" to send someone to greet him, it is estimated that Yang Xu would have to be in the wilderness with those "loyal" guards.

The "entourage" pretended to be mysterious and said, "I heard that this group of people who attacked Lord Yang are very similar to the men and horses of Yang Yan, the general of Zhendong. ”

When the patrol leader heard this shocking secret, he trembled a little with excitement, and the unpleasantness of being scolded just now was quickly left behind. Zhendong General Yang Yan is the younger brother of "Qiu Chi Gong" Yang Chu, and when Yang Chu did not succeed to Qiu Chi Gong, the two fought for this position. And Yang Xu is Yang Chu's hardcore, and he has made great contributions to Yang Chu's smooth succession, so Yang Yan, who was later "forced out of town", hated Yang Xu to the core.

Now that Qiu Chi and Liangzhou are at odds and the political situation is turbulent, Yang Yan should be the most restless person in everyone's minds. At this time, Yang Chu's henchman Yang Xu was attacked by "people suspected of Yang Yan", and the article in it was big.

After the patrol leader learned this secret, he didn't even have the heart to continue patrolling, handed over the team to his deputy, a foreigner, and then hurried back to the camp to spread the news.

Soon, in addition to the patrol captain's channel, many channels were passing on this amazing news in Yangma City, if it weren't for the fact that there was no way to communicate every night, it was estimated that this news could be transmitted to Qiuchi Mountain.

Soon, the generals and leading officers who received Yang Xu's order to "meet the Chinese army for a meeting", as well as many noble children who came to comfort Lord Yang in name but actually wanted to inquire about the news, flocked to the Chinese army, which made the head of Liangzhou, who was originally from Diren, who was dressed as the leader of the entourage of the Tuoshan Touren, a little unexpected. He hurriedly instructed the "Tuoshan Toushan Entourage", which was composed of the troops of the Liangzhou Army's escort camp who were "originally from Di and Qiang" or could speak Di and Qiang, to send a signal to the outside world and start to act in the Chinese army.

Just as the "Tuoshantou people retinue" began to quickly clean up dozens of pro-troops near the Chinese army, and surrounded the generals and officers of the defending army of Yangma City who were waiting for Yang Xu to appear, the two thousand Liangzhou army guard battalions quietly approached Yangma City. At this time, Yangma City had become a mess because of the "news of Yang Xu's attack" and the departure of generals and officers. When Le Changshan led his troops from the left and Wei Xingguo led his troops to break into Yangma City from the right, Yangma City did not react at all, as if a person who was listening attentively to the story was inexplicably attacked by someone, and he had no ability to fight back. It was only when the Liangzhou army swept through half of the city of Yangma and joined up with the Chinese army that chaotic resistance began. But that doesn't help.

I have something to do today, and I'm late for uploading. Excuse me! Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone!
