The sky is not beautiful, the rain is still falling unhurriedly, Chang Yu looked up at the gloomy sky and really couldn't cry or laugh, if there is a big drought and more rain today, it is a good thing, but Nima is now undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire for the soldiers marching in the mountains.

"I don't know if it's just raining in the mountains or it's like this outside" Li Muxian walked over with a bowl, Chang Yu smiled: "Aren't you able to pinch it, count it."

Li Muxian shook his head lightly: "Don't take a peek at the heavens easily, lose your life!" ”

It's a perfect score for the forced pretend! Chang Yu sighed, looked out of the village, the soldiers everywhere to find a clean place to hide from the rain and rest, some are still waiting in line to eat meat and drink soup, after all, the chopsticks are not enough to start with branches, but there are not so many bowls of soup to drink, so they can only queue up in turns.

"Wouldn't it be too late to leave until noon?" Li Muxian tilted his head and asked, Chang Yu frowned: "It stands to reason that it shouldn't be too late, even if the Tartars send troops to Qingzhou City today, it is impossible to do it when they arrive" As he spoke, he looked up at the sky and sighed: "There is still a cave in Ningyuan to hide from the wind and rain, here...... Hey, you're sinned! ”

"If you're not in a hurry, let them rest for a while" Li Muxian couldn't bear to look at the soldiers who were napping under the trees, how tired it would be to squint in a damp place to fall asleep.

"The tired soldiers are useless, if this is the case, they will also give their heads to Qingzhou," Chang Yu sighed slightly, so he ordered the soldiers to find a clean place to rest in the village, but not to disturb the villagers.

The three thousand soldiers were full of food and drink, so they looked for a place to sleep for a while, and Chang Yu called Orion to draw a sketch of the mountains for him, and Luo Ertang was also familiar with the surroundings and pointed out corrections from time to time, and soon Chang Yu had a 3D three-dimensional terrain map of dozens of miles around in his mind.

From the prince mountain along the valley to the east for more than ten miles, the mountain road gradually narrows and becomes rugged and difficult to walk, but there are many mountain villages along the way, and then go more than ten miles out of the mountain pass in the southwest corner of Qingzhou City, across the moat in the west of the city (the west branch of the Nanyang River, the later Heihu Mountain Aqueduct) to the city.

Thirty miles of mountain road, Chang Yu silently calculated, if it is not enough to set off in the afternoon, I am afraid that I will be able to get out of the mountain after dark.

I hope it doesn't rain, otherwise there is nowhere to hide in the mountains, and it will become a soup chicken, cold and tired, not good to eat, not good to sleep, plus mosquito attacks to disturb morale, where is there still combat effectiveness, Chang Yu prayed silently.

After a night of sleepless climbing over the mountains and mountains, not to mention the soldiers, even Chang Yu felt tired, after eating meat and drinking soup, he found a village house and went to sleep, and Zhaiziya Village was also controlled by the guards, and the villagers were gathered under a simple shed and were not allowed to walk around, and the village chief Luo Ertang was specially monitored.

Qiao Sanxiu was napping with a knife on the chair at the door of Chang Yu's house, while Chen Suole was resting with a few guards under the grass shed at the gate of the courtyard, they were also flesh and blood and were too tired to work.

However, the two of them were like chicken blood, although their eyes were bloodshot but they couldn't sleep excitedly, and the two of them were monitoring the villagers in the grass hut, while catching up.

Taiyuan defense of the war was the archer in the Zhou Yuji army, and at that time Duan Wuhu followed Cheng Ming to protect the little eunuch and escorted the silver from the capital, and then Cheng Ming followed Wu Mengming to "protect" the king of Shen in Lu'an Mansion, Duan Wuhu led the men and horses to follow, and followed the little eunuch deep behind the enemy to assassinate the king of Xiaochuang Li Laiheng.

The two recalled all kinds of things at that time, and they had the feeling of being reborn like a dream, after all, they both felt that it was possible to die in Taiyuan at that time, who would have thought that they could meet here now.

"At the beginning, I was just an archer under the command of General Zhou, how could I have thought that I would be the captain of the factory governor's personal guard" was very emotional, but Duan Wuhu was envious: "My brother's life is so good that the factory governor appreciates that he is now a thousand household ranks, and he can be on an equal footing with the commander of the fourth battalion of the East Factory, I was just a general banner of Teng Xiangwei at that time, and after the first war in Taiyuan, he was promoted to a hundred households, hey, I don't know when I can catch up with my brother."

Guan Ren smiled slightly: "Brother Duan, don't be presumptuous, your family Lord Cheng and the little overseer have a very good relationship, everyone knows it, I heard that at the beginning, Lord Cheng was not the commander of Teng Xiangwei, and after the first battle of Baoding, the rewards of the generals did not come down due to the urgent military situation of the Tatars entering the customs, but the little overseer directly mentioned Lord Cheng, and the military department and the governor's mansion of the five armies did not even dare to put a p."

As he spoke, he patted Duan Wuhu on the shoulder: "Don't worry, if you have this relationship, you can't worry about it, what Brother Duan lacks at this time is only military merit, once you have merit, it will come naturally, and you never have to worry about being robbed of your merits when you do things under the little overseer, let alone worrying about being pressed at the bottom of the box without money to dredge up the relationship."

Duan Wuhu nodded vigorously in disapproval, the **** at the end of the Ming Dynasty was unbearable, and it was extremely difficult for lower-level generals to be promoted, not to mention ordinary soldiers, even if you have made great contributions, it is already the size of a sesame seed to be divided into the east and west by the top, don't think about the silver, if you don't have a silver quota for the rank, you can get rid of it at any time.

It's that dark! (PS: Absolutely no borrowing from the past and the present)

"What's more, what the eldest brother said is right, I only lack combat merits now" Duan Wuhu clenched his fists hard: "This time, the little overseer who entered the mountain named me to follow is to remember the feelings of the past and want to carry it, this time I must kill the Tartar desperately and live up to the little overseer."

Guan Ren nodded, and was about to say a few words of encouragement, when he raised his eyebrows suddenly, and looked towards the south, Duan Wuhu turned his head when he noticed the abnormality, and stood up suddenly: "Alert!" ”

In the rain of Mengmeng Mountain, more than ten people came slowly from the prince mountain in the south, although they did not ride horses, they hung knives on their waists, needless to say that they were horse thieves in the mountains.

Unexpectedly so bold, Duan Wuhu snorted coldly, and rushed to the south wall with a knife, pointing at the more than ten people: "Bold thief, dare to take a step forward, shoot immediately!" ”

"Don't let go of the arrows, we are here to surrender" The first big man stopped and raised his hands and said loudly, Duan Wuhu was stunned, surrender? Before they could beat them, they surrendered, and what was the situation, so he asked if he wanted to inform the little eunuch.

He couldn't figure it out, but he didn't want to disturb the little eunuch's rest casually, such a trivial matter could not be handled by the pro-guard army, it would be too useless, so he whispered to Duan Wuhu: "Look at it, let him abandon his weapon and come over" At the same time, he instructed the brothers around him to shoot directly if they found something abnormal.

After hearing Duan Wuhu's shout, the thieves immediately threw the steel knife on their waists far away, and then slowly walked towards the wall with their hands raised.

Luo Ertang was dragged over, and pointed to the people outside the wall: "Can you recognize?" ”

"Know, know" Luo Ertang nodded hurriedly: "The tall one at the front is the big leader of Tianwang Village, and he shot at Tianyuan and asked the sky."

Guo Ren sneered, walked to the wall, and shouted to the tall man who had been drenched in the city and raised his hand outside: "An arrow to the sky is a big breath, it seems that the archery is very good, let's compare and compare."

The big man waved his hand in a panic with a bitter face: "No, no, I can shoot a pheasant or hare at most...... That name is here to scare people, not as good as the military master, not as good as ......"

"You're Yuan Wentian?" Duan Wuhu raised his feet and went up to the wall, pointed his knife at the big man and asked, the big man hurriedly nodded: "It's the grass people, it's the grass people" but Duan Wuhu's face turned pale with fright.

"Huh, grass people? Lao Tzu looks at you like a straw bale", Duan Wuhu followed Chang Yu to suppress bandits and saw more of this kind of bandits, showing off his might on weekdays, once he encountered officers and soldiers who were taken, his original form was revealed, no matter how loud the name was, after all, it was difficult to change the true color of the mud legs and couldn't get on the table, and he couldn't stand the scare without confidence.

"But why did you come down?" He shouted.

"The small ones are only one hundred and eighty people, the military master is several thousand, one person blows a breath and scrapes our cottage away, rather than being cut down by the military masters, it is better to vote for a way to live, the military master, we can take all the money and food in the mountains, I just hope to leave our lives so that you can make cattle and horses for your military masters......"

Yuan Wentian gushed a handful of snot and tears, but Guan Ren and Duan Wuhu couldn't cry or laugh, and when they saw such a big battle of officers and soldiers on the mountain, they thought they were coming to suppress him, but they were scared and took the initiative to surrender.

"Didn't you say that the mountain is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack," Guo Ren glanced at Luo Ertang and sneered.

"That's not enough to stop the military master, there are a lot of people" Yuan Wentian was also very honest, Duan Wuhu couldn't help laughing, "Why don't you run if you can't hold it, isn't there a back road on the mountain?" ”

"Yes, there is, but where are the old forests in the deep mountains and forests, I heard outside that the Tartars are coming and can't get out, and the mountains and forests are not starving to death...... "Yuan Wentian was extremely frustrated.
