The Hengduan Mountains stretch for thousands of miles and become a natural barrier for the Chu State, and only the Luoyan Gorge can pass through the large army, but an invincible fortress lies here, blocking all foreign enemies. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the middle of winter, the troops have been walking on the summit of the Hengduan Mountains with difficulty.

"Whew."

It was even colder on the top of the mountain, and the bitter cold wind made it difficult for people to stand.

"Finally to the top of the mountain. ”

Luo Fei looked like a white-bearded old man at the moment, but his white-beard was formed by the exhaled breath formed by frost.

Luo Fei wiped his chin and grabbed a cold hand.

"Brother Big Tiger, thanks to you this time. ”

Luo Fei sighed.

Although he came to the top of the mountain, the reduction of staff was less than 20,000, and the price was not small, but Luo Fei received a letter from Luo Ye's letter eagle, but he was not worried about the attrition.

"Brother Big Tiger, show us the way, you have to go back, the task given to you by the main bus is not easy, do your best." ”

Luo Fei and Luo Wei hugged each other and patted each other to take care.

The sunny side of the Hengduan Mountains is indeed much smoother, but it is not so easy to walk, here the forest is dense and the people are rare, there is no road, only to open a road by yourself.

After breaking up with Luo Wei, Luo Fei'an refused to follow Luo Wei's direction to explore the way, and the rest of the people found a leeward col to rest.

"General Luo, the dry food we brought can only last for ten days, according to Luo Wei, the straight-line distance from our location to the designated place must be at least more than one hundred and fifty miles, and the actual distance is afraid to double or more, there are no roads in the barren mountains and mountains, it is conservatively estimated that we have to walk for half a month, this is not good, and when we get here, we can't make a fire to roast dry food, and no one can stand it for half a month. ”

Zhu Jian said to Luo Fei without worry.

Luo Fei, who had just been in a relaxed mood with some joy when he turned over the top of the mountain, suddenly felt his heart tighten.

"Sir taught me. ”

"Divide the people into two teams, based on two hours, and open the road day and night in shifts, so as not to waste time, and not to make the soldiers tired and cold, as for eating, each squad cages a small pile of fire to roast dry food, and takes turns to eat, and it is almost the turn of the two hours, and there are many hunters who go up the mountain to hunt, and a small pile of fire should not attract people's attention. ”

Zhu Jian pondered for a moment and suggested to Luo Fei.

"Okay, just do as the gentleman wants. ”

"Tell everyone to go on a diet, ten days of dry food to make half a month's food, don't wait until there is no food hunger and cold can be a bad thing, alas, if the conditions allow, I really don't want to arrive at the destination in advance. ”

Zhu Jian's idea is not the best, but it is the most practical, more than 20,000 people did not bring tents, just with warm clothes, in this Hengduan Mountain Range, it is easy to be frozen after staying for a long time, two hours in turn, the body temperature drops, feel the cold, and start to move again, there are Zhang and Song, and they can take turns to eat, the most practical way.

After meeting Luo Wei, Zhu Jian calculated the time, according to the plan, they arrived at the top of the mountain a few days in advance, and the agreed time was very relaxed, if it were not for the cold winter season and the lack of dry food, Zhu Jian did not recommend arriving at the destination in advance, the closer the more than 20,000 people got to the destination, the longer they stayed, the easier it was to be exposed, but the current conditions made them have to arrive at the destination as soon as possible.

"Let's figure it out when we're close to our destination. ”

Zhu Jian shook his head at Luo Fei and said bitterly.

This is the third time that Yixing Commercial Bank has entered the fortress, and the first two times have gone well, but this time it has encountered trouble.

"Master Jun, it's going to be dark this day, you don't let us in, we are sleeping in the wild with so many goods, if we encounter robbers, we will lose a lot. ”

The account office of Yixing Commercial Bank was the leader of this shipment, and he begged the tun chief to inspect in Xiguan.

"No, you've been in and out twice in less than ten days, and you're here again so soon, I doubt you. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, our Yixing firm is a serious businessman, during this time our proprietor has three more shops in the eastern district, the first two times to replenish the goods of two shops, this is the last time, otherwise the shop is empty, but there will be a big loss. ”

The tent was afraid that the chief would button his hat, so he hurriedly interrupted him and explained.

In fact, this is also a coincidence, the first two times in and out of the Yixing commercial bank are this tun chief is responsible for the inspection, this time I met him again, the same person checked, the same firm within ten days of the second entry and exit of Xiguan, it does make people suspect that its purpose is not pure, but the inspection and there is no contraband, although the caravan is different every time, this is not unusual, but every time a group of people come out, they change a batch, and they go in and out twice to change four batches of people, this thing is a bit strange, if it is not a coincidence to meet the same person to check, I really can't see this change.

The chief of the tun is small, but he is in charge now, although he has some suspicions, but in order not to find trouble, he doesn't need to pass this time.

"If you are long-winded, I will have you detained. ”

The tun chief was a little impatient and threatened.

The tent was dumbfounded, and the caravan guards began to stir.

"What should I do?"

The head of the caravan whispered to the tent.

"Alas. How can there be such a coincidence, this time it will be troublesome, it is not possible to go back, and come back another day. ”

"That's all there is to it. ”

A few people discussed it, but there was really no good way.

"Hey, Mr. Wang, you just came, I've been waiting here for a long time. ”

Just as Mr. Wang was about to take people back to the town behind, someone in the doorway shouted to him.

Mr. Wang looked back and found that a man in a brocade coat and a velvet hat beckoned to him, but he really didn't know this person, and just as he hesitated, a short and capable man in the caravan whispered to Mr. Wang.

"This person is the big shopkeeper Fei Qi of Jubaolong, and the guy next to him is our person, you can call him a clerk or a clerk, don't call a shopkeeper or a clerk. ”

"Ah,..。 Oh. ”

Mr. Wang didn't turn the corner for a while, but he was also an extremely intelligent person, and he understood in a blink of an eye.

"Oh, it's a foreigner, I'm really sorry, we encountered a little trouble on the road, and it was a little late to get here, but this military master didn't let me in, and I didn't dare to stay in this wilderness, and I was thinking about saying that it was not dark, and I went back to the town behind. ”

"Oh, what's going on?"

Fei Yi asked the somewhat blind tun chief who saw him.

"He's this."

"The shopkeeper of Yixing Commercial Bank and I are friends of my life, he entrusted me to set up three shops in the East District, let me help take care of the people, today is the last batch of goods, but I can't wait for the right and so on, fortunately come and see, otherwise I will make you a bastard king." Eight. The egg was blocked back, snap. ”

The people in the Eastern District knew that Fei Qi was domineering, but no one expected him to do something to the tun chief, the tun chief was taboo to Fei Yi, but he didn't expect Fei Yi to dare to hit him, Fei Yi's slap beat the tun chief three times on the spot, tinnitus and dazzle, a mouthful of black blood mixed with a few back molars spurted out.

The officers and soldiers, the pedestrians and Mr. Wang are all stupid, this Fei Yi really dares.

Fei Yi grabbed the collar of the tun chief and lifted him up with all his might.

"Damn, how many bribes have I received during this time, ah! The oil card has come to my head, and I am really looking for death. ”

The wicked wanted to sue, because the riot here attracted the guards of Xiguan, so Fei Qi said this.

"The outsider is angry, this kid is not sensible, but he is finally my subordinate, and his subordinates are merciful. ”

"Hmph, don't look at my brother's face, I abolished him. ”

"Okay, okay, let's let them go yet. ”

It was already late for the caravan to arrive in the Eastern District, and Fei Yi followed, and the Eastern District checkpoint made an exception to put the caravan into the city.

There is no doubt that this group of caravans is one of the group of people brought by Chen Gongwei.

Chen Gongwei calculated according to the time that this group of people should arrive at noon, but there was no news when the sun was westward, so Zhang Xian asked Fei Qi to go to Xiguan to have a look, and Xingmang followed, but he happened to catch up, and he missed it a little later.

When Fei Dong came to Zizhulou, he told Miao Baichuan and Qu Xin that he was going back to Beijing.

"Isn't it good for us to walk together?"

"Oh, when are you leaving?"

"Well, I have to wait a few days, the little brother still has some things to deal with. ”

"Hehe, then I can't wait, there are some things urgent, I'll leave tomorrow, and when you go back to Beijing, I'll treat you to Juxian Building." ”

"Okay. ”

The next day, Fei Dong returned to Beijing.

In fact, he passed through Shangjing to return to the 18th Road Righteous Army base camp, the coastal city of Zhangzhou, Zhang Xian gave him the task of taking Meizhou, Jieshan, Wuyang three cities before February, and told him that someone would help him soon, and wait for them to take the three cities and wait for the order.

"Can there be 100,000 guards stationed there?"

Fei Dong has less than 50,000 horses, and the good and the bad are uneven, how dare he collide with the elite capital guards.

"Haha, if you go then, I'm afraid that there won't be even 10,000 people in the camp, don't worry, my son won't harm you, if you get it right, you may still have a big harvest." ”

With Zhang Xian's words, Fei Dong was relieved a lot, it was not difficult for him to capture the three cities, he had already had the idea of seeking the three cities, so he did not move because he was afraid to protect the army.

His 18th Route Righteous Army claimed to be 200,000 people, but in fact, less than 50,000 could be pulled out to fight, and the equipment was extremely poor, and he didn't even have siege equipment, but Zhang Xian told him not to fight hard and use strategy, in fact, this also dealt with Fei Dong's thoughts, these three cities had already placed his people, and he led his troops to arrive on the day of breaking the city.

In fact, these three cities are not tall and strong, and there are not many garrisons, three or five thousand people in each city, because Fei Dong is sitting in Zhangzhou City, he has not harassed the three cities in the past ten years, paralyzed them, and the defense is not strict.

It was almost arranged as planned, and Zhang Xian suddenly remembered something.

"That auction in Donglu City is about to start, right?"

"Well, ten days later. ”

"I promised people that I didn't do anything yet, so I came here and never got out, what should I do?"

The auction house of the Lingxiao Chamber of Commerce settled in Donglu City, and the unprecedented grand auction was held in Donglu City, Zhang Xian promised to take out the rare treasure finale auction, as a gimmick, attracting people, but he never went out when he came to the fortress, the auction was approaching, Zhang Xian couldn't help but be a little anxious....
