Zhaozhou has several counties under its jurisdiction, and it is a big city in Zhending Mansion that is garrisoned by thieves, but the number of troops is still unknown, but Chang Yu deduced that it should be a lot, and when he captured Jizhou, there were thief army reinforcements in the northwest who arrived in one night and one night, as expected, it was from Zhaozhou, and secondly, when Huang Degong took Ningjin, there were few thieves in the city who fled when they heard the news, and they should be in the city at this time.

To sum up, there are at least 1,000 thieves in the city, of course, they are not the main force of Li Zicheng's lineage, but just some rogue led by the mountain kings under other generals.

But Chang Yu knew that as the officers and soldiers advanced westward, Li Zicheng would mobilize regular men and horses to kill him, and at this time, the passive response was only to lure him deeper, and at the same time use cannon fodder to consume his strength.

At this time, he was in the thief's den, and beating a few pipes was just a brawl, but if he did it with the thief army, it would be a big trouble, and he didn't want to be so high-profile when he first arrived on the ground, so he couldn't bear it and silently dispersed with the crowd, and quietly slipped to the city of Zhaozhou.

The city was like a sea of people, even more so than the banks of the river, and the displaced people circled the city wall round and round, and the city gate was even more crowded, and dozens of thieves armed with horsewhips beat those who tried to enter the city.

After Chang Yu looked at the city gate for a while, he slipped to the root of the city wall, and after a while, more than ten people from Chen Wangting quietly leaned over.

"This governor wants to enter the city" Chang Yu said in a low voice, everyone frowned, look at the momentum just now, it's not easy to get in, and if you can't get out again, it will be big!

There is a way, Chang Yu beckoned, everyone probed, and after listening to him whisper a few words, he nodded again and again, since the little overseer likes to play, let's accompany him to play around, with the force of a few of them, if something happens suddenly it is not difficult to seize the door, so after some agreement, they will go to the city gate.

"Get out of the way, don't fuck out of the way" A group of people at the city gate came scolding, scolding and even punching and kicking the refugees next to them from time to time.

This disturbance immediately attracted the attention of the gatekeeper thief army, and he raised his eyebrows and was about to ask, only to see the burly giant man who originally looked fierce and vicious, and in a blink of an eye, he looked like a lowly dog minion: "Hey, the military master is good."

"Okay, your mother is big, who are you yelling?" One of the guards scolded.

Wu Zhong smiled heapedly: "Master Jun, I am waiting for the head of those mud-legged pipes, on the orders of General Li, to strictly investigate the spies, just now I really caught one and now sent it to General Li for interrogation" said and pointed to Jiang Fa, who was tied up by everyone behind him.

The defender frowned and asked casually, "Which General Li?"

"It's General Li under General Wang, the little ......" Wu Zhongzheng was babbling, and the guard waved his hand impatiently: "What the hell are you talking about, hurry in."

The thief army does recruit a lot of stewards to do things for them among the refugees, and catching spies for officers and soldiers is also one of its tasks, as for General Li in the thief army, General Wang or some messy general, these grass kings all like to call themselves generals, and the two devils of these homeless people call everyone a general for flattery.

In this way, Chang Yu and his party easily infiltrated the city, and even the silver that he felt surprised and was ready to bribe did not come in handy, it seems that the thief army is really paralyzed and careless, of course, the acting skills of several people are also first-class.

In fact, it can't be said that the thief army is careless, the main purpose of setting up the gate is to prevent the refugees from rushing into the city to cause congestion, as for preventing the spies from entering the city is just to follow the trend, the thieves are not afraid of a few spies entering the city, what can they do when they enter the city, there is no valuable information to collect, and the spies of the officers and soldiers have gone to the north of Baoding Mansion, of course, it is not excluded that some people pass by here to see, but there is nothing to be afraid of.

Let's say that as soon as Chang Yu and the others entered the city, they had an epiphany about why the thief army set up a door card to prohibit the influx of refugees, because there were really many people inside, except for the local residents and the first part of the refugees who poured into the city, plus the thief army had made this state city look crowded.

The city is full of people, the riotous people and the bandit army are noisy, the streets are full of garbage, dung and water are flowing in a strange smell, and the location of the thief army is really either ruins or hell.

It was already noon, and everyone was hungry and wanted to find a small shop to eat something, but how did they know that after turning a few streets, they didn't find a teahouse and tavern that was open for business, and a good city was so wasted, Chang Yu sighed secretly.

When everyone in the city turned around to the southeast of the city, they suddenly heard the bell, followed the prestige to see a pagoda, and there was an ancient temple covering an area of dozens of acres nearby.

"Why don't we go to the temple to fight the autumn breeze, the big monks are all rich in oil," Wu Zhong proposed, and everyone looked at the little eunuch, knowing that he didn't like monks.

"Oil? I'm afraid we don't even lick the bottom of the pot" Chang Yu shook his head lightly, but he didn't go to the temple in disappointment, and he saw a big temple after walking more than 100 steps, and it was written: Berlin Zen Temple

The temple gate is not high or majestic, but it is crowded with homeless people everywhere, everyone's faces are suddenly gray, the little eunuch really guessed correctly, the temple is a large local household, the fields are wide and do not pay taxes, and they have always been rich, so every time there is a mutiny and disaster year, whether it is an officer or an army of thieves, they are the first to rob them.

This thousand-year-old temple built in the reign of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was not spared this time, and the thieves copied it as soon as they entered the city, and then the refugees poured in and directly became a refuge.

After all, it is a thousand-year-old temple and many monuments, who knows that Chang Yu fell into the desert and fled out without a cup of tea, and the temple houses are occupied by refugees, and there is feces and urine everywhere, and he wants to vomit when he is disgusting.

Sitting at the gate of the mountain for a while, Chang Yu pondered against the wall, he entered the city and wanted to find an opportunity to assassinate the leader of the thief army here, but at the moment, he couldn't even fill his stomach and had the strength to kill, he didn't think enough about it from Ning Jin before, and he originally planned to go around and go back so the dry food was put in the palace camp, only Chen Ruxin had some leftover and gave alms to the woman.

I thought that I could find food when I entered the city, but at the moment, it is estimated that there are no roots to gnaw, so I can't steal and rob it, Chang Yu sighed and tilted his head to look at the few people in Wuzhong who were hiding in the crowd nearby, and smiled bitterly, and was just about to beckon a few people to find a way, and put a hand on his shoulder: "Does this little brother look good?" ”

Eh, Chang Yu turned his head to look, and saw a huge head appear in front of him, with a heavy tone, he felt disgusted and hurriedly leaned back, and finally saw the whole picture of this person, forty or fifty years old, white-faced and long-bearded, actually a Taoist priest who looked like a fairy wind and bones, but those eyes were very thief, and he didn't look like a good person.

"Look at your uncle, get out of the calf," Chang Yu was disgusted by his tone, and flicked the hand on his shoulder angrily.

"Hey, you little brother, the old man sees that your Yintang is black, when there is a bloody disaster, I want to be kind enough to solve the disaster and solve the problem, how can I still hurt people" The old man raised his eyebrows, and his kindness was regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs, and his face was full of resentment!

", you, the master watched your Yintang purple, and there was a disaster of being beaten between the three breaths, if you don't want the master to crack it for you, just give some incense money at will" Chang Yu saw at a glance that this product was a charlatan, but it was also a strange thing, a priest ran to the monk's temple to swagger and deceive, but now the world is in chaos, and what is the difference between you and me between the two brainwashing organizations.

"Hey, your little brother is sharp-toothed, and the Taoist master wants to ......" The eyes of the rivers and lakes are poisonous, this Taoist priest saw that Chang Yu was not very old, although he was dirty, the spirit and spirit were very different from the homeless, and he speculated that it was very likely that the young master of a large family who was affected by the military disaster escaped death and lived in the rivers and lakes, after all, the thief army tortured and plundered those big families wherever they went, forcing the family to be ruined.

The so-called skinny camel is bigger than a horse, although this kind of rich child is down, he is much more oily and watery than those innocent homeless people, he wanted to cheat some benefits, but he was directly attacked by Chang Yu, and he was angry in his heart to teach this sinister young man who didn't know the rivers and lakes a lesson.

Before the threatening words began, a casserole-sized fist fell on his shoulder, knocking him gently, and the Taoist priest looked up in a daze, and saw an iron tower man standing in front of him, sneering at him: "Get out!" ”

"Side" Taoist priest shook his shoulder, and let Wu Zhong's fist fall short, it turned out that he was still a practitioner, Wu Zhong was startled, and he punched and hit, and the fist wind was like a knife and lightning and went straight to the Taoist priest's face.

The Taoist priest turned his head sideways to avoid it, and reflexively kicked a back kick that almost hit Wu Zhong and forced him to take a step back.
