Chapter 162: The Canal Enters the Sea, Hengxiong Heavenly King

The veteran smiled: "We are indeed from Jiangdong, but where did you hear this news?" ”

"I learned about it from Sun Xingzu, the deputy city lord of Juma City, and others."

Su Hanshan said, "They really want to find you, so as soon as I found a suspicious whereabouts, I came over to check on them." ”

The veterans thought for a moment.

"Isn't it true that they are not going to send people out?"

"Wait a minute, let's go and report."

One of the old soldiers turned and went into a tent, and soon he came out and said in a loud voice, "Please come in." ”

Su Hanshan walked into the tent, the thick curtain fell, and a dim light hanging from the top of the tent had already been lit.

In the middle of the open space of the camp, a small stove emits heat from the outside, making the whole tent warm.

A long table was placed behind the stove, and a large woolen blanket was laid on the ground behind the table.

He looked like a thin old man, with slightly curled eyebrows and a sparse beard, sitting on the woolen blanket, looking about sixty years old, wearing a white yellowish single coat and a black burqa on the outside, as if he had just been woken up from sleep.

"This is the King of Wu in our Jiangdong."

The old soldier said, "The messenger can speak up whatever he wants." ”

Su Hanshan was a little surprised in his heart, although he heard that it was the soldiers and horses sent by King Wu's mansion, but he didn't expect that this King Wu actually led the troops in person.

"The old man Yang Baifa is just the former King of Wu, but the current King Wu is my apprentice, and he can still be the master."

The old man smiled, and his voice was clear, "I heard that the messenger is from Juma City, I don't know what the token is, what is the matter with looking for me?" ”

Su Hanshan reported his name and said with a smile: "Although I heard about Jiangdong's dispatch of troops from Sun Xingzu and others, I didn't come from Juma City. ”

"Not long ago, Juma City has been occupied by the Hu people, Sun Xingzu and they led some remnants of the army to flee, passing by my Dongping City, trying to rob the grain, I took it, only to learn a lot of things from them."

In just a few words, the news contained was amazing, and the veteran's face changed significantly, and he was surprised: "Hu Ren?!" ”

Yang Baifa's eyebrows also moved, and said, "Old Qin, get a pot of tea." ”

The old soldier came to his senses and was ordered out of the camp, and when he came back there were already two people, one carrying a pot of hot water, and the other with a set of tea sets.

"I met in a hurry just now, and I forgot that I should have some tea to entertain, please take a seat."

Yang Baifa found a cushion, placed it on the opposite side of the long table, and asked Su Hanshan to sit down.

The hot tea was poured into the two cups, with a slight green meaning, and the aroma of strong tea immediately steamed with the heat.

Yang Baifa took a sip and motioned for Su Hanshan to taste it.

Su Hanshan picked it up and blew it and took a sip.

"Blame me for coming abruptly in the middle of the night."

Su Hanshan said, "It's just that the matter of Juma City is not trivial, and if we cities want to do business, the best choice is to go there." ”

"The final destination of the soldiers and horses of the old king of Wu is also pointing there, and now it is occupied by the Hu people, if you can't report the news as soon as possible and respond, the longer it drags on, the more inappropriate it will be."

Yang Baifa bowed his head slightly, and said with a smile: "This news, it is true that the sooner you know, the better." Your Excellency can take down Sun Xingzu and them, it can be seen that the strength is extraordinary, since you are also so concerned about the matter of Juma City, do you want to deal with this matter with us? ”

Su Hanshan said bluntly: "I hope to see a mature port city that can do business peacefully, rather than a big cottage that has been looted by broken cities and redefined by bandits." ”

"Good!"

Yang Baifa said, "I brought 15,000 people out from Jiangdong, and during the day, I divided into a team of 1,000 people to clear up the living corpses, open up roads, and camp in three ways at night. ”

"Half a year of stop-and-go, but also a lot of results, now there are many cities along the rear, can turn over the grain and grass from Jiangdong, but if you want to transfer troops from these cities, I am afraid that it will be delayed for a long time, and it will change."

He took a sip of tea, "How are the Hu people, how are the masters, what will Your Excellency do?" ”

This person spoke straight to the point, bright and frank, and knew the main body of the incident, so he only talked directly about this matter.

Su Hanshan liked this style of getting to the point, and immediately said: "When the Hu people attacked Juma City, they mainly relied on the cooperation between the inside and the outside, and first created civil strife, and the total manpower was more than 10,000 soldiers and horses. ”

"The masters who appeared at that time, there were three spirited figures, and their strength was generally above Sun Xingzu, and one of them even rushed into battle alone, killing the city lord of Juma, and there were also a number of fierce generals with fist intent, the specific number is not clear."

"However, they belong to a sect called Wuxiong Sect, which unites various tribes in Donghu, and it is said that there are 30,000 or 40,000 elite soldiers in the sect, and in the early years, they have occupied several large cities, and it is unknown whether they will increase their troops."

"My Dongping City is just a small city, except for me, the most elite in the city today is only those more than 2,000 captive soldiers."

When Su Hanshan said this, he blew the tea leaves, watched the tea fluctuate slowly, and said, "But this time, I will go in person, and because it is a small city, there is another name available." ”

"There are a lot of cut and polished timber in our city, and in the name of doing business in our small city, please ask the old king of Wu to send some vanguard soldiers in disguise to help us escort these goods to Juma City."

Yang Baifa's expression moved slightly: "Will the Hu people believe it, do you want to do business with them?" ”

"The city is small, and the news is not clear, and I don't know that Juma City has changed owners, and it's normal, and when I get closer, it's too late."

Su Hanshan said with a pun, and said, "Besides, the distance between Dongping and the horses is not far in a straight line, and the grain harvest in Dongping City this year is too poor, so it is not surprising that if you want to ask for food and gather one or two thousand people, you dare to endure the environment of living corpses and endure for a few days." ”

Chen Wanchuan brought people out at the beginning, and wandered for many months before arriving in Dongping City, but that was only because Dongping City was located in a remote area, and it was not easy for those people who came out of the big city to notice.

In fact, if there is a clear and complete road map, the cavalry can directly ride their horses and gallop, and within two days, they can go from Dongping to the rejection of horses.

Among those captives in Su Hanshan, there are people who can be this guide.

"If everything is as you say, we can set out tomorrow and try it according to your plan, with the vanguard in front and the army in the back."

Yang Baifa turned the teacup with his palm and said, "But after all, you and I met for the first time, and we discussed such a big matter, and I inevitably had some doubts in my heart, and I will enter the city tomorrow and ask Sun Xingzu in person." ”

Su Hanshan said: "Of course you can." ”

"I don't have 10% trust in Lao Wu Wang, but any friend has the stage of first acquaintance."

Su Hanshan raised the teacup, "I hope that we will be friends." ”

Yang Baifa chuckled and clinked glasses with him.

"There's one thing I'm a little curious about."

Su Hanshan said, "Why do the soldiers I see seem to be over forty years old, and the old King Wu came out this time without bringing young soldiers?" ”

Yang Baifa said: "It's time for young people to shoulder their responsibilities, and those of us who are about to hand over the burden will have an easier time and can do some things that we have wanted to do for a long time." ”

Su Hanshan thought for a moment and said, "Doesn't the current King Wu support you in sending troops?" ”

"As long as I'm out of the house, he'll definitely support me."

Yang Baifa smiled, and there was a vague hint of a scoundrel in his wise smile, "But at the beginning, after the cities where the canal entered the sea refused to send troops, he was indeed not so enthusiastic about this matter. ”

He also represents the thoughts of many young people, opening up the road may indeed be beneficial to everyone in the future, but other families are not in a hurry, why should we pay a lot of manpower and material resources first? After all, we in Jiangdong don't need these roads, and we are already doing well. ”

Su Hanshan said: "Their ideas are understandable. ”

"Huh?"

Yang Baifa sighed lightly and asked with a smile, "You are also a young man, it sounds like you don't agree with their opinions?" ”

Su Hanshan shook his head and said, "I can't control what they do." But I like to transform everything, open up the road, and reconnect the world, which sounds like a big thing in life that I can take back in life, and if I have the chance, I will definitely do it. ”

Yang Baifa drank a few sips of tea in a row, his smile became more and more, and he laughed: "Okay, well, actually, I saw that when you walked in from outside the tent in the middle of the night, you intuitively had the feeling of being a good man." ”

"I've always trusted my instincts, talking about big things, chatting about gossip, and sure enough, I fell in love, but unfortunately the last batch of wine sent by the army has been drunk, otherwise this tea should really be replaced with wine to taste good."

The next morning, when the sky was bright, Yang Baifa first took a group of guards and went to Dongping City with Su Hanshan.

"King Wu!"

Sun Xingzu had seen Yang Baifa back then, but he really didn't expect that he had only mentioned Jiangdong soldiers and horses two days ago, and he actually met him in this Dongping City today.

But his eyes turned between Yang Baifa and Su Hanshan, but he didn't open his mouth to ask Yang Baifa for help, accusing Su Hanshan of his actions.

This world is the most realistic, Su Hanshan's value alone is much higher than that of Sun Xingzu, and Yang Baifa is not Sun Xingzu's father, and it is impossible for him to turn his face against Su Hanshan.

On the contrary, at this time, there may be a turn for the better.

After all, Su Hanshan seems to have no one around him, and he must have a great plan to cooperate with Jiangdong soldiers and horses, since he didn't directly kill Sun Xingzu and them, there must be a place where they can be useful in the future.

Sun Xingzu and Ben Yin glanced at each other, and they both saw what the other party meant.

Polishing your eyes and being able to bend and stretch is the way to save your life.

Yang Baifa was also a little surprised, he originally felt that Su Hanshan was not a realm where the spirit entered the body, and he faintly felt that Su Hanshan's strength was not as simple as ordinary fist intent channeling.

But he never thought that Su Hanshan alone captured three masters who had entered the body, and he didn't even seem to have crippled these three people.

Even if the scope of the realm of the spirit entering the body is very large, but the strength of the person who has just entered the body of the spirit is already extraordinary, and he may not be able to count a hundred if he counts it today.

Capturing this kind of character alive is much more troublesome than killing or maiming them.

"I've heard the city lord of Su talk about the matter of Juma City."

Yang Baifa said, "Let's talk about the situation of the Hu people." ”

Sun Xingzu and the others retold what they had said before, and they did not deviate from the topic at all.

Su Hanshan knew that they were very interesting, and looked at them with a smile.

Yang Baifa was also quite satisfied, and when everything was asked, he said casually: "It is not easy to have a martial artist who has entered the body, Su City Lord, we want to recapture Reject Horse City, if these three masters don't need to go, it's a pity." ”

Su Hanshan said: "Then take it with the old Wu Wang's army, and when the time comes, I will pull out these nails for them, hoping that this time they can fight bravely, and they will not have no wounds left, and they have already escaped from Juma City." ”

Sun Xingzu was a little ashamed, and said: "That Hu man named Budugen is really fierce, after killing the city lord, I immediately knew that even if the three of us were combined, they were not opponents. ”

"Take advantage of the chaos to escape as soon as possible, so that you have a chance to call for help......"

Yang Baifa said: "Okay, needless to say, when you go back to Reject Horse City this time, you can deal with the ordinary soldiers and horses among the Hu people, right?" ”

Sun Xingzu nodded again and again.

On a battlefield of real scale, the spiritual momentum of the army will be mixed up and become extremely intense, even if it is a master, it cannot stun hundreds of people with the spread of fist intent alone.

With a level of divine spirit like the three of them, the fist intent attack on the battlefield, that is, the level of shocking dozens of people to death at a time, really fights, mainly relying on the physical body to attack the opponent.

But with their strength, if there is no master to stop them, even if they need to bombard ordinary soldiers and horses with fists to the flesh, they will be like a storm and mustard, and the efficiency will never be low.

After Yang Baifa's soldiers and horses entered the city, according to what was discussed last night, they began to divide a part of the elite soldiers and disguise themselves as the people of Dongping City.

These people in Dongping City don't have many clothes at home, so since they have to take them out to camouflage these elite soldiers, of course, they also have to give some compensation, but because of this, they got thick winter clothes in the army, which can be regarded as an unexpected joy.

Su Hanshan told Liu Jiazi that they took good care of the city, so they followed the disguised Jiangdong soldiers and horses and went on the road together.

These vanguards, pretending to be ordinary people, opened a distance of about twenty miles between them and the large army behind, relying on Sun Xingzu's memory of the terrain along the way, allowing the large army to pass through the jungle as concealed as possible.

After a few days, Suhanshan felt that the air had become more humid, and rivers had become more common wherever they passed.

They were close to the canal into the sea, and they were close to the city of horses.

On the black-pressed city wall, there are many traces of the old and the new, which have been attacked, the suspension bridge across the river hangs in the air, and there are many thick iron chains on both sides, which have obviously been replaced recently.

The east gate and the west gate of Juma City are all gates, and there is a river directly through them, and when the gate is lifted, it can accommodate ships to pass.

However, Su Hanshan came from the south, and there was only a moat and a suspension bridge gate at the south gate, and they had to cross the river and bridge before they could enter the city.

By the time they were three or four miles from the city gate, the drawbridge had been lowered, and a troop of cavalry rushed out of the city.

"Who are you? Where did it come from? ”

The cavalry leader raised his whip in his hand, and there were two scars on his face, and his voice was like a broken gong.

In order not to be too conspicuous, Su Hanshan also changed his outfit, blended in the crowd, looked up slightly, but found that this team of cavalry could not see any traces of Hu people, it seemed to be from the Central Plains, and the armor was similar to those brought by Sun Xingzu at that time.

As soon as his heart moved, he understood that this should be the men and horses who surrendered after the city was captured.

The leader of the freight team on the surface was selected by Jiangdong Terracotta, a man who was proficient in various local dialects and was a seasoned man, and explained their purpose in a few words.

Unexpectedly, these cavalrymen did not ask too much, but saw that they really did not have any oil and water on them, so they waved their whips irritably and let them enter the city.

"Damn, after those Hu people broke the city, they robbed things and women everywhere in the city, and robbed them for three whole days, and when their sect leader came, they said that they would maintain the status of the Quartet Trade in Horse City, and they were not allowed to rob things again."

"In the end, it was us who were the ones who were watched the most, and the blind could see who was more likely to steal things."

"Alas, boss, bear with me, now it's the people in charge, besides, we have only been robbed here for three days, which is really good, I heard that they used to occupy other cities, and after breaking the city, they had to plunder for more than ten days."

"The oil and water at the east and west city gates, the inner and outer docks, have been fished up by those Hu people, and they will definitely be more and more in the future!"

When Su Hanshan entered the city, he heard them muttering and complaining to each other.

After entering the city, I saw that the long street was sparse, and the houses were like chess, although there were many houses, and many of them also hung the signboards of shops, but most of them were closed, and they were quite depressed.

The leader inquired about where it was possible to collect the timber, led the team forward, and turned to a place close to the dock, only to see a scene with a little more people.

At the corner of the street, there are Hu people sitting on a wooden platform, preaching something.

“…… Therefore, Zhou Tianzi, the emperors of the Xiaohan Dynasty and the Wude Dynasty, in fact, most of them have the blood of our Wuxiong people, Fuxi Nuwa, Shennong Xuanyuan, and also the ancestors of our Wuxiong people, the courtiers of the Hengxiong Heavenly King! ”
