In Beiwu City, the fire was bright, and the sound of shouting and killing came like a tide.

Tens of thousands of soldiers poured down a torrent of oil, drowning the surging crowds, Han Chinese and Hu.

The Hu army's main formation did not move at all, and stood solemnly.

Similarly, Lu Gao, who was like snow, looked at the surging tide, collided and stirred up the flesh and blood, and half an hour later, another wave of tide retreated.

After looking at it, the entire city was densely covered with Hu Qi, who covered the sky and the sun.

At this time, the army in the same city was in its own position, resting quietly and indifferently, preparing for battle.

"Hey, if you have laid down Yuyang City, it doesn't mean that you can be unscrupulous in Youzhou, the eldest husband will swear to defend the city, and success or failure will be handed over to Providence. Lugao thought.

"Dashuai, just now some people wanted to make a noise and kill them all. A voice interrupted his thoughts, and the lieutenant general Lu clapped his armor and walked over.

Lu Gao and Lu Bai are both young, thirty years old, and it has taken several years to capture several counties, and they have hoped to unify Youzhou, but they have encountered an invasion by the Hu people.

"Who's in there?"

"Some big families, and some are Taoist monks. ”

"Good to kill",... The city is stable, Hu cavalry can't attack it, you know, the current drive to come up desperately, are the people, as well as the new annexed army in the front counties and counties, although these people die is not a pity, but it shows that the hard years in the future are still to come. Lu Gao looked coldly, and on the banner of the Hu people's Chinese army, a golden wolf was waving in the wind.

"The Golden Wolf is the banner of the newly built Hu Ren Royal Court!" Lu Pai said.

"Golden wolf, Hu people are barbaric, hey!"

Even while speaking, the rolling crowd of people under the city surged, but they listened to a command: "Shoot!"

A dense pile-up, falling blood flowers, so that the corpses quickly stacked up, in the fireworks and battles, the sun set, ushered in the evening glow.

In Youzhou, caravans of more than 100 people are not uncommon on the official roads of Youzhou.

Even in this troubled era, there are still many merchants who trade back and forth.

Or it can be said that at this time, the Youzhou trade route was more prosperous than in peacetime, and there were many merchants who made a fortune in the country, and for the word "profit", how many people were willing to die since ancient times?

On this day, the weather was sultry, and the scorching sun hung high in the sky, baking the ground.

On the earthy yellow avenue, a mighty team of dozens of vehicles and two or three hundred people marched on the road.

This is a caravan transporting grain and iron, and it usually travels back and forth to Youzhou, transporting important materials, and along the way, the checkpoints are not too difficult, so they are released

Because most of the dogs are armed with the men who escort the goods, although Youzhou is turbulent and the road is not smooth, there is no one other than the official who dares to move their ideas.

In addition to the ox-cart wagons loaded with goods, in this procession there was a spacious carriage, drawn by two horses.

The carriage followed two retinues on horseback, with cold faces and burly figures, looking like people who had practiced martial arts and had some achievements, such people protected the carriage, and it can be seen that the identities of the people in the carriage were different.

The procession marched quickly and slowly, and a group of people gradually appeared in front of them.

These people are men and women, old and young, the older people are supported by the young people, the adults are carrying burdens, or pulling children in their hands, or carrying women, children sometimes cry a few times, they do not walk fast, in this sultry weather, but do not dare to stay and continue to walk forward.

I have seen a lot of such scenes along the way, and when passing by these people, the people in the team deliberately slowed down the speed of their horses, and they couldn't bear to scold and coax them.

"Hasn't Zhang He come back yet?" At this time, there was a voice from the carriage in the procession, and at the same time, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and the middle-aged man sitting inside poked his head out and asked the knight who followed the carriage.

"Sir, he hasn't come back yet, do you want to send someone to look for him?" said the knight who followed the carriage.

"No, his skills are still very good, if even he is in trouble, I am afraid it will be useless to send a few more people, so wait. ”

"Yes, sir," the knight replied.

"If he comes back, let him come to me at once. The man in the carriage thought for a moment and said another word.

"Don't worry, sir, I know. The knight said hurriedly.

Then the curtain was lowered by the people inside.

The caravan continued to march on the road, because of the invasion of the Hu people, on the way, there were many refugees fleeing on the official road, they dragged their children and daughters on the road, it was huge, and it seemed that the team was very large.

After walking a little way, there were fewer people on the road.

Occasionally, you can see two or three ox carts, carrying farm tools and belongings.

The rebellious people, who were on foot, fell behind.

‘“...... Mother, I'm thirsty..."

"When you get to the front town store, my mother will find you water to drink, okay?"

"Let's go quickly, the Hu people are very fast on horseback, if you attack here, you can't escape." ”

The massacre of the Hu people brought great panic to the people.

Even if the Hu people had just occupied Yuyang, the people of the neighboring counties had fled elsewhere.

A young man, looking at the scene in front of him, sighed. Qi, this rebellion of the Hu people has had a great impact, and in just this month, 150,000 people have died.

Because the road was full of fleeing people, this young man had to slow down his horse when he was in a hurry, and from time to time avoid pedestrians on the road.

When they arrived in front of the refugees, they saw that the road in front of them was empty, so they hurriedly rode their horses and whips and rushed to the caravan that was rushing over.

"Director Liu, I'm back. When the young talent returned to the team, he bowed his hand to a middle-aged man in the team and said.

When Director Liu saw him come back, he was finally relieved. angry, and said to him: "Zhang He, you are finally back, the master asked you just now, let you come back, go to see him immediately, you go quickly, don't let the master wait." ”

"Yes!" Zhang He heard this, saluted again, and immediately walked towards the carriage in front, and when he came to the carriage, Zhang He whispered in the window of the carriage: "Master, I'm back." ”

The people in the carriage heard him, and immediately the curtain was lifted.

"Got the news?" asked the "master" inside.

"Master, I've got the news. ”

"What is the current situation in Yuyang? Is it just what the road said, that it has been captured by the Hu people?"

"Master, we have contacted the surviving dark line, Yushan was broken, the city was slaughtered, the whole city, except for the craftsmen, were slaughtered by the Hu people, Yuyang County was in civil strife, opened the city gate, and the Hu people poured in. ”

"Now the Beiwu Festival has made Lu Gao, personally guarding Beiwu City, has been fighting for three days, and the Hu people have driven 100,000 people who surrendered in Yuyang County to attack the city, and most of them have been shot, and the city is full of corpses and a sea of blood!"

Hearing this, the "master" was silent for a while and said, "I know, you have worked hard this time."

"Master, then we will ...... with supplies. ”

"I'll arrange that. ”

"No. During this time, the procession continued to move forward, and along the way, everyone was silent.

After Zhang He talked with the "master", he and Liu were side by side, and the two were silent, and neither of them spoke.

On the surface, this group of people is a caravan that often travels back and forth to various parts of Youzhou, but in fact, they are people from the Thirteenth Division, and two years ago, they specialized in searching for intelligence in Youzhou.

This "master" is a thousand households of the Thirteen Divisions, lurking in Youzhou, with the name of a wealthy businessman.

Thinking back to the refugees I met along the way, my faces were full of panic and fear, and my home had to be abandoned, so I had to drag my children and daughters to the rear in order to flee for my life.

It is the people of the Thirteenth Division, who originally did this business, but gradually became cold by nature, and when they saw such a scene, they couldn't help but feel pity in their hearts.

"Master, there is a small forest in front, go over and rest for a while?" At this time, there was a clearing in front of him, surrounded by a sparse pine forest, and Director Liu saw that the people in the team were tired, so he came to the carriage of the "master" and asked.

"Master" looked ahead and nodded.

So Director Liu ordered the team to rest temporarily in front.

During this time, someone has brought the five carrier pigeons with the team.

"Is the letterhead in place?" asked, sir.

"Master, it's ready. Carrying the five carrier pigeons, he said.

"Well, let's let it go together!"

"No.

At the sound of the order, the five carrier pigeons flapped their wings and flew high into the air, all flying in the same direction.

"May the news come back in time. The middle-aged man like a businessman raised his head at this time and looked in the direction of the carrier pigeon, and at this moment, the sharp eyes of the intelligence officer were revealed.

"Rest for a while, and hurry again," the middle-aged man commanded.

A small city hundreds of miles away from Beiwu City, in a hidden courtyard, a few carrier pigeons fell on this day.

The pigeons looked tired, their feathers fluttering, and as soon as they landed, they cooed and cooed.

"Oh, there's news?" Hearing the sound of carrier pigeons, a man in a green robe walked out of the room quickly, and at a glance saw the carrier pigeon landing on the windowsill.

The carrier pigeon was obviously 'well-trained, and when he saw an acquaintance, he immediately flew over and landed directly in the hands of the man in the green robe.

The man in the green robe reached out and stroked the carrier pigeon twice, untied the small cylinder containing the letterhead from the pigeon's leg, and took the letterhead out of the small cylinder.

The fruit is marked with a sign of 100,000 urgency.

Seeing that sign, this person did not dare to delay, and hurriedly unfolded the letterhead carefully and looked down.

Just scanned the above content, this person's expression immediately changed greatly: "Something big happened in Youzhou!"

It turned out that this carrier pigeon was sent by the news from Youzhou not long ago.

Although the carrier pigeon is wonderful, but it can not run thousands of miles, the thirteen divisions take the segmented transmission, each section has a carrier pigeon contact, so that it is very sure of the stability and security of the information.

The matter was urgent, and the man in Tsing Yi immediately walked into the room quickly and copied five copies according to the contents of the letterhead.

In the cage in the next room, five carrier pigeons were taken out, and the five pieces of information were tied to the pigeon's legs in the same way, and the carrier pigeon was released.

Even if it is transmitted in sections, if only one carrier pigeon is used to send the letter, the carrier pigeon has an accident on the road, and the major event will be delayed, so when sending this information, more than three carrier pigeons will be used to send the letter at the same time to ensure that there will be no problems.

"My lord, has something wrong?" At this time, a young man came in from outside, and just happened to see this person flying a carrier pigeon, and seeing that his face was solemn, the young man couldn't help asking.

"I just got the news that the Hu people began to attack Youzhou. At present, Yuyang has been captured, and the city has been massacrated in Yushan. The blue-robed man said with a solemn face: "Now we are attacking Beiwu City again." ”

"If Youzhou is captured by the Hu people, won't the Central Plains be allowed to be driven straight by the Hu people?"

"Exactly. "Sigh. Angry, the man in the green robe said: "I hope the king can take precautions as soon as possible." ”
