The Song Dynasty was extremely bad in terms of military system, and it was surprisingly rotten. However, in the civil service system, not only are there a surplus of officials, but the efficiency of work is also fast. From the bad news from Huazhou, approval, selection, and appointment will take up to ten days.

In early September, officials urgently dispatched by the imperial court to Huazhou. Unexpectedly, it was found that there was no chaos in the city, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, the autumn planting was not delayed, and the rice in the large fields outside the city was growing well, and the ears of grain were gradually yellowing.

In addition to the emptiness of the treasury in the city, the family suffered a heavy blow and suffered a great loss of vitality.

The city of Huazhou has not been destroyed, it is no different from usual, and even better developed. Taishou, who came to take office, thought that he would receive a mess, but he didn't expect it to be much better than he imagined, and he was in a happy mood, and the idle lord who was in charge of the affairs of the city was directly recommended as the number two person in the state city.

And this person is Liu Ang, an upright official appointed by Wang Jin based on his personal performance. If nothing happens, it will be difficult to get out of the officialdom until death. But now that he has officially become a court official, he can only say that pie in the sky has fallen from the sky.

Huazhou City, the new Taishou took office, it was a happy event, several county towns sent money and grain, officials gathered to congratulate, and the people took to the streets to greet each other warmly.

Not to mention how the state city and county are festive!

Shaohua Mountain has been destroyed, and the mountain has been burned again. After the aftermath was settled, the officers and soldiers of the states and the Western Army left one after another a few days ago.

There are ruins and ruins here, and there is nothing to be nostalgic for.

Shaohua Mountain is hidden in a few restaurants and continues to inquire about the news. Village shops and shops are transferred and handed off, and the personnel are packed up and gathered from all sides.

Although Shaohuashan collectively withdrew from Shaanxi, Wang Jin did not forget the intelligence officers. Left behind a battalion of 500 elite minions,

Led by the two big leaders, Sun Qi and Ye Sheng, escorted the third batch of copycat personnel to evacuate.

Some people and their families traveled by boat to Baoqian Mountain. Nearly 100 young and strong people turned into cattle and sheep dealers, driving away the cattle and sheep purchased in the north during this time, together with more than 200 minions, and took the road to the east. Along the way, when you encounter villages and towns, you will buy livestock, and the procession is huge.

These people are all carrying swords and swords, and they are murderous, and the thieves dare not provoke them. The road was smooth and there was no trouble. In a few days, we will arrive in Yangcheng County, bypass Gaizhou, and we will be able to reach Baoqian Mountain.

However, the herd of cattle and sheep attracted a lot of watching eyes.

As the procession marches or sets up camp, there are always eyes in the dark. There are even hairy thieves who follow behind, trying to steal cattle and sheep at night. They were often dispersed by patrolling cavalry, and the thieves were even more merciless.

But these people seem to be inexhaustible, and they are like flies everywhere.

Although the chief manager of the intelligence personnel, Wu Zhang, was not familiar with military affairs, he was able to distinguish the situation. found Sun Qi at the front of the team and said worriedly: "Vice General Sun, I think something is wrong!" The back of the thief is like a union. I suggest staying in the market town first and waiting for the cottage to send someone to help. ”

"Hahaha, don't worry about Steward Wu, if the thief dares to come, then he will be killed." Sun Qi is also full of confidence in his martial arts and his subordinates. Although he also noticed that there were more and more thieves, he was not worried at all.

Of course, it is one thing for a man to have self-confidence, but he is not rampant to the point that he is the second and third in the world, and secretly ordered the team to strengthen its vigilance and be ready to fight at any time, and let Steward Wu lead the team as a reserve.

The critical moment can be driven away

The cattle and sheep dispersed and evacuated while the chaos was in chaos.

A series of orders were issued in an orderly manner, and Steward Wu was not so worried. Seeing that the minions of the cottage are well-equipped, they also settle down.

More than 300 people carried herds of cattle and sheep on their way.

While walking in a dense forest, a gong suddenly sounded from the forest. Then he shouted to kill Zhentian: "Rush, catch this wave of fat sheep." ”

"Kill them, catch them, and have a good year."

I saw three or two hundred people rushing out of the forest to block the way, and more than three hundred people rushed out from the rear. It's all the roar of minions wrapped in turbans and holding swords.

even played the drama of front and back attack!

Although the team leader Sun Qi was a little surprised, he did not panic, but looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahaha, after a few days, you stinky rats finally came out." Brothers, get ready to fight, let them see the gap. ”

The minions in front of them scattered, two strong men riding inferior horses, one with a big waist and a round waist, with a face full of meat, and the other with a thin body and expressionless face.

The big man slapped his horse forward, slashed the big knife, pointed at Sun Qi and shouted: "Bah, Jilei Mountain is good... The heroic Niu Gengniu's grandfather is here, and the one next to me is the head of the Black Stone Ridge Leng Ning Leng Da, leaving the cattle, sheep and horses, and let you pass, otherwise let everyone die, and everyone will die. ”

"I have a mouth myself." The tall, thin man with a cold face had a cold voice.

Jilei Mountain Niu Geng, Black Stone Ridge Lengning. These two men each gathered two or three hundred minions to occupy the hill and rob the house. I learned from a few rogues that there was a caravan driving a large herd of cattle and sheep passing by, and at least 300 or so people could fight black, and they couldn't eat on a hill, so they joined forces.

"Niu Geng, Leng Ning, where is it

Out? Ben will come first to kill you and others. Sun Qi muttered that he hadn't heard of it for a moment, staring at the front with his eyes shining. As long as the general captures the flag, An Ran leads the team back is a meritorious service. can be promoted by at least one and a half levels, and is one step closer to the position of deputy general.

After that, Sun Qi slapped his horse and danced with a knife, and went straight to the big man, intending to fight quickly.

"Good time!" The big man Niu Geng snorted lowly, not only was he not afraid, but he rushed over excitedly. Swing the big knife and slash, and fight with Sun Qi.

Sun Qi thought that he could easily kill this person, but as soon as he first met, he found that he was thinking too simply. He has good martial arts and is skilled in bows and horses. However, the big man on the other side is not weak in martial arts at all, and he is even more powerful. Instead of feeling cheap, he was faintly suppressed.

The big man was self-aware, and he couldn't take down his opponent in a short time, so he immediately shouted: "Cold face, hurry... Hurry up and help, take down this person, and the other party will be self-defeating. ”

"Cow dung, to bully less with more, wouldn't that be bad?" Behind him, the tall, thin man with a cold face said on his lips, but he didn't talk about martial arts at all. Pat the horse to join the battle group, and Niu Geng flanked Sun Qi left and right.

This person's martial arts skills are also good, and a little steel gun flies up and down, and it is elusive.

Sun Qi is not afraid of anyone, but he faces two opponents of the same level. After barely holding on for a few rounds, it was at a disadvantage. If it weren't for the good horses he gave birth to, I'm afraid he would have fallen into the other party's way. Tried to shoot the horse out of the circle, returned to the formation, tried a few times to no avail, and found that the two guys cooperated tacitly, not giving themselves the slightest time to escape.

Being entangled in this way, the archers behind did not dare to shoot arrows for fear of accidental injury. The amount of the leader of the team, Wu Steward

The head is sweating, and even the breath is like what to do?

"Could it be that my Sun Qi died here?" Sun Qi fought the two of them harder, and felt more and more difficult. The sideburns on his forehead were sweaty, and he was panting, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad.

"Hahaha, he can't hold it anymore, work hard."

Seeing this, the big Niu Geng quacked and screamed, shouting at his companions to attack.

However, it was also at this time that a mutation suddenly occurred.

A thunderous shout sounded: "Oh, the thief is rampant, and Sun An, the dragon slayer, is here." ”

Then, in the team of Shaohua Mountain, a nine-foot man in black clothes and black robes walked like a fly, pushed through the crowd, and rushed into the battlefield brandishing a pair of iron swords.

This person is none other than his friend Qiao Daoqing who went to Shaohua Mountain some time ago, but found that Shaohua Mountain had been captured by the official army and burned to the ground.

By chance, he rescued a teenager and learned the news, came to the village store to try his luck, and really met a stronghold in Shaohua Mountain, and stayed to evacuate together. Unexpectedly, when I encountered this kind of thing now, I just showed my strength.
