【074】Niangdang Village

The coalition forces fought hard, and the routs finally rerouted after leaving behind corpses. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 After the rout, there were not many pursuers in Tibet. When the Tubo follow-up army arrived, the hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops already had a chance to breathe.

Sambu stepped forward and pulled up Yuan Xiaoguan and ordered his subordinates to give him a horse to ride. The coalition forces went around in circles and passed by the rout.

"Let's go!" Seeing that Yuan Xiaoguan was rescued, Gu Mozhi shouted loudly, "Disperse and evacuate to avoid attracting the attention of the Tubo army!"

Orders were issued layer by layer, and the coalition forces were divided into several groups, mixed with the rout of the mountains and fields, and withdrew from the battlefield.

In September of the 14th year of Jinwu, Gao Zhan, the envoy of Hexi Jiedu of Huaguo, led 200,000 troops to attack Tubo and was defeated. Gao Zhan was killed in battle, and the 200,000 army suffered heavy losses, and all the baggage, grain and grass were lost.

Yuan Xiaoguan heard several Chinese troops talk about it three days later, and only then did he know the detailed process of the defeat of the army that night. It turned out that the Tibetan assassins attacked the camp that night, and these assassins were strong in martial arts, assassinated more than a dozen Chinese officers, burned countless grains and grass, and Gao Zhan, the envoy of Hexi Jiedu, was also killed. The Chinese soldiers who lost their command were in chaos, and Tubo led 20,000 pioneers to attack 30 miles overnight, taking advantage of the chaos to attack Riwu Pass, 20,000 against 200,000, and the Chinese soldiers were ineffective in command, and had no fighting spirit, and they were defeated on all fronts after a while. After careful questioning, it was learned that the three colored flags planted on the heads of the 20,000 pioneers were the heavy infantry led by the second prince Ganzan.

Yuan Xiaoguan knew that the assassins who attacked the camp must have been Murong Fu's handiwork. Whether it is a military attaché or a civilian official, a central official or a magistrate, the important positions are all held by civilians, and Gao Zhan is an example. Under the influence of China, so are the neighboring countries. Therefore, the assassination of important personnel by highly skilled assassins is one of the means with the highest cost-to-return ratio in warfare. In the previous life, most of the players involved in the war relied on assassination, and sometimes a player was lucky and seized the opportunity to fight to the death of a general, and the military merit rose dramatically. This situation was not improved until the middle of the game, when the military attache was reinstated.

Now Murong Fu is obviously taking advantage of this loophole in Huaguo, he is from the Jianghu sect, and he is not good at military formations, but he is familiar with sending martial arts masters to assassinate. And that night, after Gao Zhan drank wine, he was so bold that he actually learned to fight against the assassins, and he was also to blame for being killed.

Yuan Xiaoguan was wounded, and when he retreated, he followed the Dongnu clan and other non-combatants in front, Ye Jishi and the Blood Knife Ancestor who were also wounded, and a group of martial arts figures brought by Zhou Jinfeng and the more than 2,500 women that Yuan Xiaoguan bought. The coalition army led by Sambu and Kumachi and others was broken at the rear.

Due to the urgency of the pursuit of the Tubo army, Murong Fu contacted Tuyuhun to send troops to attack, and after that, the Chinese army stopped fighting, and never stopped the rout, and retreated all the way to 500 miles east of Jianmen Pass. Jiannan Jiedu led the troops to respond, and Tubo retreated.

As early as the third day after the Battle of Japan-Wuguan, Yuan Xiaoguan and his entourage were separated from the coalition army led by Sambu and others. This time, there were more than 100 people from the Dongnu clan, and there were more than 80 martial arts people brought by Zhou Jinfeng, plus some wounded soldiers and 2,500 women bought, this team of people was just over 3,000 people. More than half of the 3,000 men were women, and when they fled, they were afraid of causing unnecessary trouble, and they did not dare to get too close to the large army of the rout, and all the way they went into the wilderness. The speed of the escape was slow, and by the fifth day, there was no longer a figure of the rout, and some Tibetan scouts appeared around.

At this time, Dong'er Xue didn't know how to protect herself because she was a beginner in martial arts, so she sweated but didn't dry and change her clothes in time, and she contracted the wind cold. Gesang found Yuan Xiaoguan to discuss, simply go to Niangdang Village to settle down temporarily, and then contact Sambu and others after the military disaster.

Niangdang Village is located in a mountain col in the northwest of Jianmen Pass, and is one of the stations of the Eastern Women's Clan. Because the Dongnu people do business abroad all the year round, there are more than a dozen large and small stations on the border between Tibet and China. When Gesang lobbied the coalition forces to launch the war, arrangements had already been made, and most of the tribesmen in these garrisons had moved, so when Yuan Xiaoguan and others came to Niangdang Village, there was no one in the entire garrison, only a few abandoned camp tents and more than a dozen earthen houses, and some burned ruins.

However, the terrain here is good, there are sheltered houses and a small stream as a water source, Yuan Xiaoguan and others have been on the road for a few days, and the people are sleepy and tired, so they decided to settle down here again. Previously, the Dongnu clan also distributed materials, and food, clothing, and housing were not worried for the time being, but they didn't take into account the more than 2,000 women bought by Yuan Xiaoguan, and there was a shortage of food and materials, which could have been supported for a few months, but now it can only be supported for ten days.

After settling down, Gesang immediately wrote a letter to Sambu, informing him of the current situation and arrangements of the coalition forces. Let someone who is familiar with the road send it to Soaring City. Then she wrote another letter and sent it to the other members of the Dongnu tribe, asking them to come and meet.

On this day, the cold wind was howling, the sun had been hiding behind heavy clouds since the morning, and in the evening, 3,000 people were sitting in the open space in the middle of Niangdang village to distribute food, but unexpectedly, heavy snow began to fall in the sky. This is not a good sign, in case the snow does not stop, the mountain road is blocked, and this group of people is sealed in the village, it will not be easy to do.

Because he was afraid that the pursuers would not dare to make a fire when they saw the smoke of the cooking, they ate and drank cold things in the past few days. Now that it is snowing again and the temperature has dropped sharply, the taste of the hard fried rice is really unpleasant to eat and drink a few sips of cold water. Zhou Jinfeng and other martial arts people are okay, the Eastern Female Clan and the group of women who bought it have begun to shout hard work, especially those women who have been bought, they are frail peasant people, and they have been tortured after the war, many people have dark diseases, and many people have abdominal pain after eating, Yuan Xiaoguan asked Ye Jishi to diagnose and treat them. He also instructed women who complained of abdominal pain to eat jerky and bread in the future, first, to avoid abdominal pain, and second, to recuperate their bodies.

Originally, the leader of this team should be Zhou Jinfeng, but Zhou Jinfeng was afraid of his wife, so Gesang became the leader, and Gesang guided and supported him intentionally or unintentionally along the way, and the command of this team gradually fell into the hands of Yuan Xiaoguan. The wounded soldiers and women raised their hands in favor of such an arrangement, because Yuan Xiaoguan was, after all, the initiator of this eastward migration, and the benefactor of the eastward migration clan and more than 2,000 female captives. Yuan Xiaoguan has no arrogance, and treats everyone equally, even those female captives who were bought are treated as friends in distress. Those martial arts people molested and harassed these women many times, and Yuan Xiaoguan protected them, so his reputation in the team was growing. Seeing that Yuan Xiaoguan was injured, many women were willing to help him serve tea and water, recommend themselves as slaves and even recommend pillows, but Yuan Xiaoguan refused them one by one.

But the martial arts people brought by Zhou Jinfeng did not sell Yuan Xiaoguan's account, especially a group of people from the Golden Bull Martial Arts Hall, who either sneered at or contradicted Yuan Xiaoguan along the way. After the last conflict, Li Shengchao's right finger bone was shattered, and it was difficult to continue, and he wasted four or five layers of kung fu, and this feud was deep.

Yuan Xiaoguan and the Blood Knife Ancestor were both injured, especially Yuan Xiaoguan, he was not lightly injured this time, and the wound under his ribs was just fine, he forced the bloody knife technique to cause damage to the muscles and flesh, and now his whole body hurts when he takes a step. Therefore he could only endure for a while, and did not share his knowledge with them.

If there is a risk of closing the mountain due to heavy snow today, food and materials have become very precious, but Yuan Xiaoguan gave these women precious jerky and bread, and the group of martial arts people quit, and some people protested at the moment, among which the people from the Golden Bull Martial Arts Hall jumped the most fiercely.

"Hmph, jerky and bread are so scarce, but they are wasted on this group of good-for-nothing women, do you sincerely want everyone to starve to death?"

"Lao Tzu has been standing guard and inquiring about news these days, what is the merit? Why does Lao Tzu eat hard rice, and those girls eat meat?"

"It's not fair!"

"Seeing that the patriarch of the East is a woman, she pretends to buy people's hearts!"

Yuan Xiaoguan couldn't get used to these people for a long time, and sneered: "I bought all the things, I can give them to whoever I want, and those who are not happy can go." ”

"Look, what kind of tone is this, we people have traveled through mountains and rivers to help, not benefactors but also guests, this is your hospitality?"

"What do you sell, who doesn't know that these are all bought by the East Female Patriarch!"

"Zhou Darttou, what do you say?"

"Zhou Darttou, do you really let this yellow-haired boy take charge of things, look at how he treats us brothers!"

Zhou Jinfeng has been sandwiched between Yuan Xiaoguan and this group of martial arts people as a peacemaker these days, and his life has been really hard. On the one hand, there are friends in the rivers and lakes that he personally invited to help, and on the other hand, he is the future backer that his wife is optimistic about, and he can't be offended left and right. Now that they are arguing again, Zhou Jinfeng's head is big, and he hurriedly stood up and said: "Don't be angry for Zhou's sake, don't be angry, if there is anything to discuss." ”

A strong man covered in tattoos shouted: "No matter how I say that my 'Money Leopard' Hu Gui is also famous and surnamed in southern Sichuan, but now I am not even as good as a group of prostitutes, how can I not be angry!"

"Keep your mouth clean!" Yuan Xiaoguan heard the word "prostitute", his anger surged, and he stood up with a breath and glared at Hu Gui.

"What are you going to do?" that Hu Gui has a special fist technique of about one hundred and twenty levels "Golden Jade Fist" and a special sword technique "Qiankun Sword Technique", as well as a special light skill "Tiannan Step" of about sixty levels, the basic martial arts are above one hundred levels, and his kung fu is not weak, he is a master who is not afraid of heaven and earth, and when he saw this, he also stood up and looked at Yuan Xiaoguan.

Hu Gui studied martial arts in the Golden Bull Martial Arts Hall for several years when he was young, and he has always been Li Tiannan is half of his master, and regards Li Shengchao as his junior brother. That day, seeing that Li Shengchao was defeated in the hands of Yuan Xiaoguan, he was bent on finding an opportunity to avenge Li Shengchao, so he provoked Yuan Xiaoguan in every way along the way. And Yuan Xiaoguan saw that although this Hu Gui's title was the "head of the Bashu Chamber of Commerce", his kung fu seemed to be the entry martial arts of the Dali royal lineage, and he was worried about what he had to do with Duan Yu or Tianlong Temple, so he tried to ignore him on weekdays to avoid enmity with the Dali royal family. Unexpectedly, this guy became more and more presumptuous, and he couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to use the bloody knife. Zhou Jinfeng said that Gesang also came forward to mediate, so he hated and gave up, and the meal broke up unhappily.

The snow stopped that night.
