"What a cow egg, it's hard for you to have this heart, if this matter is successful, young master, I will give you the surname Bao, from now on, you will follow me." While patting Niu Dan's shoulder, Bao Zhong promised in his mouth.

Bao Xin's ancestral home is Taishan Pingyang, the Bao family is also a large family in Pingyang, as the third son of the Bao family, Bao Zhong can be described as a man who grew up in a honeypot, and most of the people gathered around him are also very good at slapping horses.

Born at the bottom, struggling on the line of life and death every day, he has had enough of such days, and now he climbs Bao Zhong's thighs, and naturally wants to climb up, Bao Zhong's promise, when he landed, he was overjoyed, and he fell to the ground with a bang, and his forehead was heavily knocked on the ground: "Young master, great grace, the villain goes to the soup and fire, it is difficult to repay in case." ”

"Hahaha, you're smart." Even a saint could hardly resist a good word, let alone Bao Zhong, a tired guy, who couldn't help laughing immediately.

"Go and gather the soldiers and horses, young master, I will take you to make meritorious deeds and eliminate the thieves." Turning around, Bao Zhong looked at the cronies around him, and burst with pride.

"Make meritorious contributions, eliminate the anti-thief ......" boom, Bao Zhong's side exploded, several people shouted loudly and recklessly, Bao Zhong's face was stimulated by this cheer, and he ignored the strange eyes of others on the street, his head was raised high, and the whole person looked triumphant.

Not to mention whether the war is good or not, the speed of action is very fast, just a meal, so that Bao Zhong gathered 5,000 soldiers, you know, because the grain and grass materials are too important, although the materials of the allied army are not all piled up here, but nearly one-fifth of them are left in the rear, the same is true, in the small city of Yanjin, there is also a 10,000-person army left behind, Bao Zhong can gather 5,000 people in a short period of time, it can be seen that his position in the city is still good.

Two days later, Bao Zhong's army, which was hurrying slowly, had marched hand in hand with Sun Jian, but since Bao Zhong was here to grab the credit, he naturally would not take the same road as Sun Jian, but after all, the mountain road was difficult, and after two days, the army was no longer able to move forward, and Bao Zhong had no choice but to rest on the spot.

"How? Did you find out the previous news? How long will it take for Lao Tzu to get out of this damn place? It wasn't until late in the evening that the scouts who had been sent out returned, and Bao Zhong stepped forward impatiently, grabbed the comer, and shouted.

"General Hui, you can walk out through the valley in front, and not far ahead, there is the old riverbed left after the diversion of the Yellow River, where there is a sandy land, the terrain is gentle, and it can be used by the army to rest and recuperate." was caught by Bao Zhong, but the scout didn't dare to struggle, and hurriedly told the news he had discovered.

"Okay, okay, I'm finally able to get out, this damn place, I've had enough." Bao Zhong, who was a little angry, no longer had the good mood before the expedition, and after grabbing the messy bun on the top of his head, he cursed again.

The roads of ancient times are not as good as those of later generations, the Han Dynasty because of the perennial war, the population was already sparse, and after the Yellow Turban Rebellion at the end of the Han Dynasty, it was even more inaccessible, especially in the Central Plains, where the original population was more concentrated. If there are no people, who will build roads?

The gallop road used in the Han Dynasty is basically the old gallop road built after the unification of the Qin Dynasty, and the entire Han family has no extra energy to pay attention to the road, not to mention the construction of the road, which is originally the most laborious and costly, who is willing to do this thankless thing? It is a galloping road in various places, which is basically between big cities and big cities, and Bao Zhong leads people to take small roads, which is basically in a state of "opening the way", and it is no wonder that he hates it.

"......" Seeing the eagerness on Bao Zhong's face, the scout suddenly hesitated, not knowing whether to speak again.

"What else is there to say quickly, after saying that, Lao Tzu has to wash it well, these days I have been drilling weeds and forests every day, this stinky body, almost smoked to death." After getting the news he wanted, Bao Zhong threw the scout down, seeing that the scout hesitated, he scolded with a smile, and as he spoke, he pulled off the armor on his body and threw it on the ground with a bang.

“…… Back to the lord, that valley is long and narrow and difficult to walk, if the army wants to get out, it will take at least a day, and it has been dark before, we have no extra time to carefully explore, whether there is any danger in the valley has not yet been known, if it is attacked during this time, our army is only afraid that it will be difficult to take care of each other. It is said that every mountain is not in and every forest is not in, for this, the scout should be more sensitive, and hesitated, although he did not want to destroy Bao Zhong's good mood, out of his own duty, he still opened his mouth to remind.

"Go, I thought it was something, it turned out to be this, this place is still hundreds of miles away from Xingyang, and now Sun Jian is far behind by Lao Tzu, as for Dong Thief's side, in the face of our hundreds of thousands of troops, can Dong Thief's subordinates hurry up and shrink in the city? Who dares to run here to ambush? Okay, get out of here, let someone boil a bucket of hot water for me first, go quickly. Bao Zhong sneered, unconcerned about the scout's reminder, and waved him out.

Early in the morning of the second day, Bao Zhong gathered his soldiers and spread the news he had learned from the scouts yesterday throughout the army, and immediately excited these already tired soldiers, the march was already hard, let alone in the chaotic mountains and forests.

"Finally able to get out." Many people beat their chests and shouted, and even cried with joy.

"Everyone has worked hard these days, General Ben knows that none of you want to stay in this ghost place anymore, so from now on, grit your teeth and hold on, if anyone drags everyone back, don't blame General Ben for leaving him here." Bao Zhong finished roaring loudly, no longer caring about the soldiers, and with a wave of the flag, the army embarked on the journey again.

Who would have thought that one step of heaven and one step of hell would have thought that they were just somewhere between heaven and hell.

An hour later, Bao Zhong led the 5,000 men into the valley one after another, as the scout said before, the valley was very long, narrow and narrow can only accommodate three people in parallel, the ground was littered with rocks, and it didn't take long for the 5,000 soldiers to line up and walk slowly.

"Tell the people in front of you to hurry up." Bao Zhong walked in the middle, and after walking for a long time, he couldn't stand the speed of slow swallowing, and ordered the people around him, and then his heart became more and more irritable: "Where the hell is this place for people to walk, the city is good to eat and drink, you say that I am guilty of what kind of cheapness, I have to go to such a place to suffer, I would not have come out if I knew it." ”
