The marquis of the Han army flourished during the battle between Mengjin and Jin. At that time, the Mongol army was flourishing, and the Jin Dynasty was declining, and the original northern Han officers and soldiers surrendered to Mongolia one after another, and were entrusted with the important task of destroying the Song Dynasty and making great contributions.

The Liang family in Pingyao is the family of the marquis who rose in this context, although it has been repeatedly suppressed after the pacification of the world, but it is still a local wealthy family, and its ancestral home Liangguanbao is in the north of Pingyao City.

The place near the city in the north of Pingyao is not much, there are people coming and going, although there is some depression, but it is not enough to arouse people's vigilance. Further north, turn down the uneven dirt road, and you will see a road built against the mountain, the earth and stone are rammed into a smooth and solid road, even if it rains heavily, the water cannot accumulate and become muddy. Huge trees are planted on both sides of the road, and the shade of the trees can slow down the pain of the march a little, and hide the specific situation of the army.

At the end of the road, where the dirt road is connected, there is a small soldier station, and under the thatched hut stands several soldiers with sharp blades. Zhao Yu only stood on the side of the road and watched for a moment, and then a soldier came out and drove away with a vicious voice, so he had to leave quickly.

He turned to a corner where the soldier's vision was hard to reach, and turned up the hill. In early summer, the mountains are covered with thorns and greenery, making it difficult to find paths. This is not difficult for Zhao Yu, his body is light and longitudinal, tossing and turning between the mountains and rocks covered with kudzu vines, as if walking on the ground.

After walking up the mountain, he suddenly heard a strange noise in front of him, slowed down his pace and turned closer, and found several secret sentinels under a huge rock, and secretly cried out in his heart that it was dangerous. As he walked forward, he became more and more cautious, climbing over the mountain beam without any danger all the way, and then looking down the mountain, he saw a fortress with a high wall.

Liangguan Fort is located on the open plain outside the canyon, and the scale is much better than that of Pingyao City at a glance, and it can accommodate tens of thousands of people to live in the fort. The city wall made of huge stones will be several times more reliable than the earthen wall of Pingyao City, and the height of several zhang makes people unable to see the situation in the fort at all. There are tall arrow towers at the four corners of the fort, and there is no vegetation in the vast area outside the fort, ensuring that any enemy infiltrating will be spotted in the first place!

Rao is heart had already prepared, Zhao Yu was taken aback when he saw this impeccable Liangguan Fort, this is still an ordinary impression of the village, it is clearly a rock-solid city fortress! He couldn't help but worry, he couldn't help but worry, he couldn't help but worry, he couldn't help but be able to sneak into it as the people of the Five Elements Banner and make trouble.

He stood on the hill and watched for a long time, but still couldn't think of any way to sneak in safely. Even if he is skillful, the distance from the flat ground to the castle is nearly 100 zhang unobstructed, which is enough for the people on the arrow tower to shoot several rounds of arrow rain!

The mountain wind was blowing, and the neighing of horses and men could be faintly heard in the wind, and it was obvious that the army in the city was still training. It was only at this time that Zhao Yu really felt a bit of the taste of war. The real army is dispatched, attacking the city and plundering the land, and the impact of personal bravery is minimal, unless he can kill the lord of a country in the chaos like Yang Guo, the Condor hero! Zhao Yu thinks that he does not have such otherworldly skills at the moment, and a single Liangguan Fort makes him helpless.

Just as he was worried, he suddenly heard a noisy rustling sound, and when he looked at the sound, he saw traces of branches and vines swinging more than a dozen feet away, which was extremely unusual. Quietly walked over, but heard Chang Yuchun's voice, his heart moved, and he said in a low voice: "Brother Chang, but where are you?"

The commotion stopped, and after a while, Chang Yuchun's head wrapped around the kudzu vine was revealed behind the rock, and he waved his hand at Zhao Yu with a smile.

Zhao Yu walked over and saw that in addition to Chang Yuchun, there were several elites of the Five Elements Banner here. There was a strange smell coming from behind the rocks, and it was clear that they had been lurking in the area for some time.

Chang Yuchun leaned back against the boulder, beckoned Zhao Yu to sit beside him, and said with a low smile: "What is Brother Zhao doing here?"

"Just take a casual look. Zhao Yu replied, and after nodding with everyone in the Five Elements Banner, he said: "This Liangguan Fort is so well arranged, I'm afraid it's not good to sneak in, right?"

Chang Yuchun and the others all smiled, and he pointed to the closed gate of Liangguan Fort and said: "There is no city in the world that cannot be infiltrated, unless the four gates are built to death and isolated from the world." During the Yuanzhou uprising, I took my brothers to attack Fuzhou City, and the garrison of the city was much stricter than this Liangguan Fort, and it was not that the brothers messed up and robbed the city gate!"

Hearing Chang Yuchun's confident words, Zhao Yu's worries subsided a little, and he said strangely: "Do you have any unique methods? I have been calculating for a long time just now, but there is no good way to sneak in." ”

When it came to this topic, everyone in the Five Elements Banner came around, gossiping and offering ideas, digging tunnels, pretending to be messengers, sending food teams, etc., Zhao Yu was dumbfounded, and such things as straight roads are still the best things that Mingjiao people do.

After everyone's discussion stopped for a while, Chang Yuchun said again: "However, this Liangguan Fort is also a bit difficult to do, and ordinary methods are useless here." If I had known that this would happen, I would have brought a team of Houtuqi brothers, they are good at digging holes, and it doesn't take too much time to dig a hundred zhang long tunnels!"

"Two brothers have already infiltrated this morning. Taking advantage of the darkness of dawn, they covered themselves with raw cowhides, covered them with a layer of turf, climbed under the wall, and touched them along the waterways under the moat. It's just that the inside and outside are separated, and the message cannot be delivered. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yu was confident and gave a thumbs up to everyone in the Five Elements Banner.

With encouragement, Chang Yuchun said excitedly: "In the fort where the soldiers are stationed, the place where the baggage is stored is the most important. If you want to cause great chaos, there is no more than burning the baggage, whether it is successful or not, the fort is bound to be in chaos. As long as the soldiers can't form a formation, the elite brothers of the Five Elements Banner can come and go like the wind, and no one can stop them!"

Zhao Yu was convinced: "This kind of thing is still the best in your Mingjiao." On the Liangguanbao side, it's all up to you to adapt to the situation. I'm only responsible for luring those people out of the city, and it's best to expose the conspiracy of the Shuangsha and the Liang family in public. ”

Chang Yuchun smacked fiercely, and said viciously: "Those so-called heroes in the rivers and lakes are extremely confused, if it weren't for the reputation of this sect and Brother Zhao, I really want to ignore it, and they will die!"

Zhao Yu smiled, didn't say more, and got up to leave. Chang Yuchun sent him out more than ten zhang away, and when he saw that there was no one near him, he whispered in Zhao Yu's ear: "Brother Zhao, I rarely admire others, but I am convinced by you." There is a sentence in the throat that is not vomited and unhappy, but you must not misunderstand me when I say it!"

Zhao Yu was stunned, and said strangely: "Brother Chang might as well speak directly if he has something to say, the friendship between you and me in life and death, what else is there to scruple about." ”

Chang Yuchun swallowed a mouthful of saliva before he said again: "And today's chaos is a good time to expel the Tartars." I teach that if there is no more civil strife, you will not be able to achieve great things after all. You are an assertive person, and your martial arts are strong, and you will definitely be able to do something when you join the sect, and it is not known that you will unify the Ming religion in a different day! Why did you flatly refuse when the envoy of Zhuang mentioned this matter that day?"

Zhao Yu listened to his earnest tone, sighed and said directly: "Brother Chang, you can't see clearly in the bureau, although the Mingjiao is strong, it is just a quagmire right now. The ambition to expel the Tartars has always been in my heart. I don't want to say much, I just promise you that in the future, our brothers will have to work together and gallop on the battlefield one day, and drive the Tartars back to their Mobei hometown!"

Chang Yuchun also said generously: "If there is really that day, Lao Chang will definitely only look forward to Brother Zhao!"

Zhao Yu felt something in his heart and patted Chang Yuchun's shoulder heavily. When he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Yes, has Brother Chang met a monk named Zhu Yuanzhang?"

Chang Yuchun shook his head and said, "I've never met before, why does Brother Zhao ask that?"

Zhao Yu talked about what happened after he separated from Chang Yuchun last year, and said: "That monk is a good man, if Brother Chang meets, you might as well take care of it." ”

Chang Yuchun nodded and said, "Since he has helped Brother Zhao, if Lao Chang meets him, he will definitely not snub him." It's just that this monk seems to have more thoughts. If he is a real good man, everyone will naturally respect and admire, even if he is called a cat or a dog, no one dares to underestimate him!"

Zhao Yu smiled, waved goodbye to Chang Yuchun, and sneaked back along the way he came.

When he reached the mountain beam again, Zhao Yu suddenly caught a glimpse of a group of seven or eight knights galloping out under the high wall of Liangguan Fort, and they were walking in the direction of the troop transport road. He sneaked down the hill for some distance, more than ten feet from the troop transport road, hidden in the dense canopy. At this time, the knights were also getting closer, and the one in the middle was none other than the boss of the Bu brothers who had fought against Zhao Yu in Fangjiabao.

Seeing that this line was getting closer and closer, Zhao Yu couldn't help but have the idea of capturing this boss. However, seeing that several of them are strong and strong, not to mention that they may not be able to succeed, even if they succeed, they are afraid that they will be startled, causing unexpected turbulence and changes.

After several trade-offs, Zhao Yu finally dispelled this tempting thought, watched Boss Bu and the others roar by, and left with great interest.

Thinking of the experience of tracking down the robbery, Zhao Yu couldn't help but secretly call for luck. If it weren't for Liu Bowen's reminder, who would have thought that the Liang family, who was a powerful official and eunuch, would intervene in the battle between the rivers and lakes? He had a new understanding of the power of the Ming Sect. The only negligence of the Liang family's conspiracy should be that the lack of people's hearts involved Mingjiao is also involved.

Although in terms of scale alone, the beggar gang is not much better than the Ming Sect, if all the beggars in the world are counted as beggars, the number is even more terrifying. It's just that the members of the beggar gang are single, far less influential than the Ming Sect, and there are a large number of beggar gang disciples who have also become Ming Sect disciples in private. Among the Ming Sect, there are peddlers, pawns, squires, and even Jinshi and officials of the Yuan Court such as Liu Bowen, and their power is staggering.

Judging from the investigation of this robbery alone, the beggar gang is still fighting with the Huashan faction, and they are tired of coping, and all they can trace is only scratching the surface. And Mingjiao only has dozens of people from the Five Elements Banner, plus the scattered people Zhou Dian and Liu Bowen, and the truth of the robbery is fully understood. It can be seen that the beggar gang, known as the largest gang in the world, is still much worse than Mingjiao.

Thinking like this, Zhao Yu gradually approached Xiao Gu, who was temporarily sheltering. Entering the valley, he unexpectedly did not see Yang Qingdi's figure.

Could it be that something was going on?

Zhao Yu was shocked in his heart and rushed forward.
