Chapter 145 Where the king goes, what the flag points to!

Although the cold night is long, when it is finally over, the rooster sings, and the world is white...... In the early morning of the next day, a round of red sun jumped out of the mountain col, shining brightly, shining on the earth, for ordinary people, this means light and warmth, for the three thousand Xuanjia soldiers, things are not so wonderful!

The soldiers braved the wind and cold, fought hard against the wolves, and after a night of difficult marching, they still failed to pass through the Jundu Mountains, not to mention the lack of people and horses, the exhaustion of food and grass, and the loss of the cover of the night, they could expose their tracks at any time, the situation was simply terrible!

So far, ten percent of the mountain road has gone seventy or eighty, and it is impossible to go back, only to go down, I hope God blesses it, the road behind is smoother, don't meet the Yuan army patrol!

It's a pity, the more afraid of something, the more something comes, the team continues to move forward, seeing that after a few more cols, it will be able to pass through the Jundu Mountain, but it encountered a team of Yuan army patrols!

"Da! --Da! Da! ”

……………………

The patrol consisted of more than twenty men, carrying a mess of weapons and a tattered flag, and came out of the nearby beacon tower, patrolling around the ravine, picking up some dry firewood by the way, and if they encountered a frozen beast, it would be even better!

The Xuanjia army marched in the ravine, with many men and horses, and the road was narrow, and there was no way to dodge, but it turned out to be face to face, and both sides were stunned, and no one dared to act rashly!

When encountering the patrol of the Yuan army, they should kill people as soon as possible, so as not to raise the alarm and attract the large number of people on the pass, but the Xuanjia army ran all night, and their hands and feet were numb from the cold, and some people wanted to shoot arrows to kill, but they couldn't pull the bowstring for a long time!

Things have come to this point, Xiao Yi is also helpless, as the so-called plan is in the people, and the success is in the sky, as long as the other party blows the horn, the brigade Yuan Jun rushes down, and the three thousand men and horses can't escape, and his record of winning a hundred battles will be broken!

The patrol team was also dumbfounded, everyone rubbed their eyes desperately, thinking that they were hallucinating, how could they not have imagined that a Cao army would sneak through the Jundu Mountain in the middle of the night, and it almost succeeded, how did they come here?

A young Yuan Jun raised the horn and was about to send an alarm signal, but was stopped by the Wu Chang beside him, and threw the horn into the ravine, and touched the eyes of several veterans, all of whom nodded slightly!

"It's really good weather today, let's continue patrolling, maybe you can pick up a few rabbits, and you will have a big meal in the evening!"

"What Commander Wu said is not wrong, we will go to the back mountain to receive grain and grass in a while, it is not easy to walk for more than ten miles, and we have to rub oil at the checkpoints everywhere along the way!"

"The general asked me to patrol the mountains, and after patrolling the South Mountain, I will patrol the North Mountain, and beware of the Xuanjia Army--Yi'er'er!"

…………………………………………

Unexpectedly, the patrol team did not call the police, but turned into a small ravine and continued the patrol, as if they had not seen the Xuanjia Army!

This matter seems ridiculous, but it is actually reasonable, the Yuan family is cruel and unkind, the people of Hebei have been suffering for a long time, and the soldiers are also complaining, and they have long hoped that Cao Jun will kill them, so as to save the people from fire and water!

The patrol team has long heard that after the Cao army occupied Yecheng, they did not commit any crimes with Minqiu, and they also stabilized prices, opened warehouses and released grain, and relieved the people affected by the disaster.

"Where the king goes, what the righteous banner points to, the people will eat pot pulp to welcome the king, so they are invincible to shun and rebel...... The ancients did not deceive me! ”

Xiao Yi let out a sigh of relief, led the men and horses to speed up, bypassed a few small mountain passes, and finally passed through the Jundu Mountain Range, and all that was left was a horse and a flat river!

According to the hint of the patrol, a warehouse was found nearby, which hoarded a large number of weapons, grain and grass, military uniforms, and flags.

Next, the soldiers buried the pot to cook, ate and drank, recovered their strength as soon as possible, and prepared to attack Jixian County and capture Yuan Xi in one fell swoop!

During this period, several Yuan troops passed by, some came to receive grain and grass, and some were responsible for patrolling, after encountering the Xuanjia army, they were also not shocked or screamed, and some people took the initiative to run over and ask for the head to lead the way!

Divide the troops to sneak attack, fight more with less, Xiao Yi originally only had a 30% chance of winning and 70% of the risk, but the reality clearly told him that those who win the hearts of the people have their own heavenly help, even if they are mediocre generals to lead the troops, this battle is undoubtedly won, so after the team is repaired, go straight to Jixian County......

………………………………………………………………………

Jixian County, also known as 'Jicheng', is the seat of Youzhou, but also an ancient city with a long history, after the former King Wu fell, the world was divided into feudal systems, and the descendants of Yao were canonized in Youzhou, the founding number was 'Ji', and the capital was Jiqiu, until the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period, and perished in the hands of Yan State!

After the Yan Kingdom exterminated the thistle, it moved the capital over, took advantage of the favorable terrain, accumulated strength, worked hard, became one of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, and defeated the Donghu tribe, pushed the territory to the east for more than 1,000 miles, and built the famous Yan Great Wall!

In the period of the two Han Dynasty, the nomadic tribes frequently went south, the wars in Youzhou continued, in order to consolidate the border defense, the imperial court canonized the clan as the king of Yan several times, the capital was all located in Jicheng, under the construction of hundreds of years, Jicheng has a vast area, a large population, and has become the political, military and economic center of Youzhou!

Therefore, after the defeat of Yuan Xu's army, he jumped all the way north to Jicheng, wanting to use the manpower, material resources, financial resources, and favorable geographical location here to restore the land of Hebei.

"Da! --Da! Da! ”

……………………

At nightfall - the north gate of Jicheng, the city gate order - Yuan Fu led a team of people and horses, patrolling back and forth on the city wall, closing the city gate and dragging the suspension bridge, strictly prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving!

Since the beginning of spring, the weather has become warmer, Cao's soldiers and horses have been frequently mobilized, there are signs of a large-scale Northern Expedition, Jicheng is three shocks a day, people are panicked, the scholars and local heroes have fled with their families, so as not to be affected by the war, in desperation, Yuan Xi had to pass down the order, the city gate is opened and closed early, and the defenders patrol day and night!

In addition, Yuan Xi also did two things: one was to lobby the scholars in Youzhou, hoping that they would contribute money and efforts to continue to support themselves, and when Hebei was restored, he would definitely reward them heavily!

The second is to remove the generals everywhere, replace them with their own henchmen, and firmly control Jixian County, at this point, the ability of officials is no longer important, the key is loyalty!

For example, Yuan Fu, who was originally a slave of Yuan Xu, did some things such as leading horses and falling and sweeping the door, because he was diligent and loyal to his master, so he was reused and appointed as the 'City Gate Order' to guard the north gate of Jicheng!

Since Yuan Fu took office, he has been diligent, leading people to inspect the city defense every day, and he has never made any mistakes, and he has been rewarded by his master!

"The night is cold in early spring, the patrol is hard, adults please drink a few sips of the strong bar, so as to drive away the cold on the body, Cao Jun is thousands of miles away, can he still fall from the sky?"

Du Wei Liang Shou defended the city tower, and when he saw the patrol coming, he hurriedly took out a bag of spirits and gave it to Yuan Fu with both hands, with an extremely humble attitude!

"Lord Assassin Shi has an order: Patrol the city wall day and night to strictly prevent Cao Jun's spies, how can I, as a subordinate, be careless?"

Yuan Fu poured a large sip of spirits, his mouth was like a knife, his lower abdomen was like fire, there was an indescribable comfort, the worry-free wine produced by the Liang family was indeed worthy of its reputation!

In the middle of the night, when the weather is cold, drink a few sips of spirits, the whole body is warm, it is more effective than wearing a sheepskin jacket, it is the favorite of patrol soldiers, but the price is too expensive, ordinary people can't afford it!

Liang Shou has such fine wine, all because he is a side descendant of the Liang family, and he often goes in and out of the family winery, so he can naturally get some fine wine, this is Yuan Fu's favorite place, because he can also drink fine wine, and it is also the place he is most worried about, because the attitude of the Liang family is unknown!

The Liang family travels in all directions, connects Kyushu, has a very deep heritage, and is also the object of Yuan Xu's wooing, and visits the head of the family several times, hoping to use the strong financial resources of the Liang family to recruit troops and horses for themselves, and accumulate grass and grain!

The problem is that the falling flowers are affectionate, the flowing water is unintentional, and the attitude of the Liang family is extremely ambiguous, that is, they do not agree in person, nor do they refuse, but repeatedly delay time, or even avoid it!

There is gossip that the Liang family hooked up with Cao Jun and donated a lot of money and food, and the head of the family, Liang Xiaoyu and Da Sima Xiaoyi, are friends of life and death.

For these things, Yuan Xuan is not unaware, and he has also thought about eradicating the Liang family and eliminating internal troubles, but the power of the Liang family is too strong, and there are many generals and officials among the children, all over all corners of Youzhou, once these people are forced to rebel, the consequences will be unimaginable!

In desperation, Yuan Xun had no choice but to use both soft and hard, while continuing to win over the Yuan family, regardless of his identity as a eunuch, he also put forward a request for marriage; On the other hand, the secret order is under the heart, keep an eye on every move of the Liang clan, and if there is any act of surrendering to the enemy, immediately kill it!

Therefore, since Yuan Fu took office as the 'City Gate Order', he has been secretly monitoring Liang Shou, for fear that he will make any small moves, but fortunately, the other party is loyal to his duties, has never made a mistake, and respects himself very much, and often uses fine wine to pay tribute!

"Da! Da! --We are the subordinates of General Juyong Guan Zhang, there are 100,000 urgent things to report, please open the city gate quickly! ”

During the inspection, there was the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and a cavalry quickly came to the city, under the darkness, it was difficult to see the face clearly, and could only vaguely see that they were wearing the costumes of the Yuan army, and there was no problem with the banner!

"Lord Thorn Shi has an order: the city gate must not be opened after dark, since the brothers are in a hurry, you can put the official document in the hanging basket, and I will hand it over to Lord Thorn Shi!"

Yuan Fu was lying on the battlement, his eyes were full of suspicion, he had been guarding the city gate for a few months, and he was quite familiar with the messengers, and the other party claimed to be from Juyong Pass, why hadn't he seen it?

You must know that the messengers of every city defense have a fixed candidate, and they will never be assigned arbitrarily, besides, the matter of martial law in Jicheng is dark, and the defenders of the surrounding cities know it, and they will never call the door indiscriminately!

"We are here on military orders, and we have an urgent matter to meet Lord Assassin Shi, if we delay the military aircraft, can you bear it?"

"Open the city gate quickly, if you are one step too late, Lao Tzu will unscrew your head and throw it to the ground as a ball!"

………………………………

The men and horses in the city did not listen to the persuasion, while shouting and scolding, urging the door to open quickly, and at the same time waving torches, drawing a strange pattern, which seemed to be some kind of signal!

"These people call the door late at night, I am afraid that there is fraud in them, and they must not be let in, so you should quickly inform Lord Thorn Shi...... Oh! ”

Yuan Fu became even more suspicious, on the one hand, he asked people to bend bows and arrows to prevent the other party from rushing to the city gate, and on the other hand, he sent someone to assassinate the Shifu to report the news, so as to prevent trouble, Nazhi shouted three times in a row, and the surrounding soldiers did not move at all!

The order was given, no one carried it out, Yuan Fu was just about to open his mouth to scold, he felt a cold in his lower back, and then a sharp pain came, and he didn't know anything in front of him......

"Da Sima's team arrived, and the brothers quickly opened the city gate, joined forces inside and outside, and captured Yuan Xi alive, which is a great achievement!"

Liang Shou held a bloody sword in his hand, commanded his subordinates to open the city gate, and guided the Xuanjia Iron Horse into the city, he had already received an order from the head of the family, once he saw the 'flame signal', he would kill the city gate order and open the gate of Jicheng!

"Kill! --Kill! Kill! ”

A moment later, with a loud 'boom', the gate of Jicheng opened, Xiao Yi took the lead, led the troops into the city, and went straight to the Assassin's mansion, ready to capture the thief and capture the king first!
