Cao Zhenyan walked all the way south, and more than three miles away was the mouth of the Taizi River. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The river has not yet frozen, the weather is cold, and it has not yet reached the time when it is frozen for thousands of miles, and the river will be completely frozen in about half a month, at that time, the villages of various official villages and Jurchens will take turns to send people to the river to guard, and the solid mountains of each banner will really send soldiers and horses to garrison the front line, and take turns to clear the Dongjiang soldiers who are too close, I have to say that although Dongjiang Town has never threatened the ability of the Jurchen front, the continuous harassment in the past few years has still added a lot of trouble to the Jurchens, It also makes the Jurchens uneasy every autumn and winter, and there is no time to really rest at ease.

Cao Zhenyan had been prepared for this, he untied a package from his horse, blew a sheepskin bag hidden in it into a small balloon, and then took off his clothes and wrapped it in another sheepskin, and the war horse and other things were hidden in a low river valley, his route was far from the Han army and the Jurchen villages, and the chances of being found in such a remote place were very small unless luck was too bad to burst.

The river was cold and biting, Cao Zhenyan jumped for a while before entering the water, then wiped his body with ice and snow in his hand until it was reddish, and then took the package containing clothes, lay on top of the sheepskin ball, and began to float across the river.

The current of the river was turbulent, the river was very wide, and it took about 20 minutes for Cao Zhenyan to reach the opposite bank.

In this area, the river naturally separated the hostile Ming army and the Houjin army, there were not many soldiers on both sides patrolling before the river froze, Cao Zhenyan calmly wiped off the ice water on his body after going ashore, and then put on his robe, looked at the surrounding situation, compared it with the road map in his mind, and then walked towards the mountain forest area west of Gushan Fort.

Cao Zhenyan spent a whole day walking through the dense forests and mountains, fortunately, he was born in Jiangmen, and his physical foundation was much stronger than ordinary people, and he had been conducting strict physical training every day for more than half a year, and he had no difficulty in crossing mountains and mountains.

After dark, Cao Zhenyan found a small cave to rest, and lit a bonfire at the entrance of the cave to block the beasts...... First there were sporadic spots, and then there were large areas of phosphorus fire.

Cao Zhenyan knew that it was not far from the battlefield a few years ago, so he put his hands together and bowed......

This is the place where the Houjin soldiers surrounded Liu Zhen and his subordinates not far away, the Ming army ambushed the corpses for dozens of miles, this should not be the main battlefield, there are more dead people on the main battlefield, there are enough 20,000 people to die on the main battlefield and the place that stretches for dozens of miles, the bones are not collected, the mountain people have also been moved out, this has become a pure no man's land, and now it has become a war zone for the tug-of-war between the Jurchens and Dongjiang Town, and it is even more barren, if Cao Zhenyan has not undergone strict training in the Thirteen Mountains, the situation in front of him alone is enough to frighten him.

After dawn, Cao Zhenyan continued to walk in a southeasterly direction, this time he stopped after walking for less than half an hour, he climbed a high slope, and began to look into the distance.

A few minutes later, he walked downhill and continued walking, and on a boulder on a small hillside, he saw a strange pattern carved out by man.

Cao Zhenyan had a smile on his face, this time he walked more purposefully, rather than just following the approximate direction.

After walking for another half hour, Cao Zhenyan faintly heard the sound of people talking, and he vigilantly climbed to a hillside, hiding behind trees and snow.

The vocals are more pronounced, but there is a noticeable pause.

Cao Zhenyan peeked in, and suddenly there was a clicking sound.

He shook and slammed into the ground.

After a bang, the bush leaves around Cao Zhenyan were shattered, and a piece of lead was snatched into the depths of the trees around him, and the snow splashed all over the sky like a fog.

"Sure enough, there is a spy on Jian."

"Raise your guns, get ready for a salvo!"

There was a rough shout from the opposite side of Cao Zhenyan, and they were not as cautious as Cao Zhenyan imagined, but shouted loudly, which was a rather confident attitude, which came from the accumulation of battles with the enemy over time.

Cao Zhenyan did not panic, he lay on the ground, the possibility of being hit was extremely small, so he was not afraid, and at the same time he took out a copper whistle in his arms and began to blow it according to a certain rhythm and rhythm.

"Don't let it go!"

The soldier who led the team stopped his subordinates who were about to be released, and said with a solemn expression: "Everyone turned their backs!" ”

"Liu Qi, run lightly to the regiment headquarters, and report to the top that there is a crow here."

"Crows?"

"If you say that, report it as I say, hurry up!"

The officer who led the team was obviously a rough man, and under his order, the sound of soldiers unarmouring and putting down their weapons and belongings was immediately heard, and then the sound of running.

The team officer shouted again: "Lao Tzu can't turn his head, be careful whether you will be captured by the small shareholder, but I won't deliberately look at your face, you should be careful first." ”

Cao Zhenyan knew that this was a group of soldiers patrolling the periphery, he looked up, and sure enough, he saw that more than a dozen soldiers were already standing with their backs to him with firearms in their hands, and an officer with a beard on his face stared at his side, his eyes swept over like an eagle, although he was dozens of steps away, Cao Zhenyan hid under the bushes, but judging from the performance of the other party who found his traces and hiding place in an instant, he really couldn't be careless.

As if seeing Cao Zhenyan, the team officer swept his eyes to this side, and then grinned.

Cao Zhenyan continued to lie on his stomach, he still had enough time, so he was very patient.

Half an hour later, there was a dull sound of war horses running, and then Cao Zhenyan realized that the original rugged mountain path had been trampled or tamped, and there was originally a road here.

After a while, Cao Zhenyan saw a group of cavalry galloping towards him, led by several high-ranking officers...... Cao Zhenyan could recognize the senior military attache of the Shang Tuan Army, it was easy to recognize, a silver star or a few silver bars on his shoulder, he had seen it many times in the Thirteen Mountains, and he was very impressed.

But Cao Zhenyan didn't expect that it was a regiment-level commander who came to see him here, so he was a little too cautious?

"All turn backwards!"

This time, even the original officer turned around.

Wen Zhongfa and the bald man began to climb the mountain together, walking towards the beaten clump of rotten bushes.

The shoulders of the two are three silver stars, one is two silver stars, Wen Zhongfa is of medium height, the gray military uniform looks well-proportioned and beautiful on his body, and his climbing movements are very vigorous, it seems that he did not neglect his physical training because he became a senior officer......

The bald man was tall, as strong as a standing bear, and his military robe seemed to be bulging and tight on his body.

The bald head was pulled away from Wen Zhongfa upwards, and his right hand was also pressed on the handcuff around his waist.

The two worked together perfectly, just as they had been a few years ago when they were both agents of the Field Support Service.

"Come out, brother." Halfway up the hill, the bald man spoke first, and his voice was calm, "The whistle is on, and we rushed over when we heard it." ”

"I don't know the identities of the two?" Cao Zhenyan felt nervous...... When he was in the Thirteen Mountains, Zhao Lide, who was in charge of all the captives, was only two silver bars on his shoulders, and only a few people such as Cheng Fang had silver stars.

In fact, when he was in the Thirteen Mountains, Wen Zhongfa and Bald Man were there, and they were all captured by these two people with their subordinates, but Cao Zhenyan was injured at that time, and later he was brainwashed and trained by Zhao Lide, so he didn't recognize Wen Zhongfa and Bald Man.

"I am Wen Zhongfa, the regimental commander of the 12th Regiment." Wen Zhong said: "This is Wang Biao, the deputy commander of the regiment. ”

"Ahh

Cao Zhenyan exclaimed in surprise and quickly ran out of the bush.

Wen Zhongfa stared at the person dressed as a post-golden flag soldier and said, "Do you recognize us?" ”

"I don't recognize it." Cao Zhenyan swallowed his saliva and said, "It's not a long time since I heard of the big name." ”

"We got it."

Wen Zhongfa and bald are such people, almost a little transparent.

At that moment, the two of them stood together with Cao Zhenyan, and grinned baldly: "You can pick a place, it's a good material for fine work." ”

Cao Zhenyan said: "It was taught by Lord Zhao well. ”

"Zhao Lide." The bald man rarely praised: "Born in a family, he is indeed a good hand." ”

Wen Zhongfa said to Cao Zhenyan: "There is a person in charge of the Military Intelligence Division here, and it is this Lord Wang. I came here this time mainly because I wanted to know more about the situation on the other side...... Recently, we have been in contact with Jianyu a lot, and we have had several successful sabotage battles. However, if we want to really go deeper, and fight big battles in the next few years, we need to know more. The important thing is to build a captivity in the southwest of Kuandian, from Qinghe Fort along the Taizi River to Tianshuijing and Lianshan Pass, and then to the number of garrisons in the area of Phoenix, which flag is it, who is the flag owner Beile below the solid mountain, the style of leading the troops, how many white armor, how many armor men, how many flag soldiers, how many Han army ......"

Cao Zhenyan interrupted Wen Zhongfa and said, "Lord Wen, from next year, the Han army will be almost negligible. ”

Cao Zhenyan said that Guanzhuang and the Han army were changed to banner slaves, Wen Zhongfa and the bald head glanced at each other, and then said: "It's really unbelievable, didn't the old slave cut off his own arm?" ”

From the fifth year of the Apocalypse to Chongzhen, at least five years or so of Houjin's military strength actually declined, because the Han army was almost weakened to the point of negligibility, in the past, it was 60,000 banners plus 120,000 left and right wing Mongolia and foreign Mongolia, plus 50,000 or 60,000 surrendered Han troops, and the military facts owned by Houjin were about 1120,000.

"That's not what Old Khan thinks." According to the regulations during the training, Cao Zhenyan did not change their names with Wen Zhongfa, but still called Nuerhachi the old khan according to the rules of the Later Jin side: "In recent years, along Kuandian to Phoenix City, and then to Jin Fuhai to cover the prefectures, there have been battles with Dongjiang Town everywhere, and the Han officer Zhuang garrisoned, whether it was defending or attacking with the Jurchen army, either it was crushed at the first touch, or it was not able to work hard, far from the time when it surrendered a few years ago. Lao Khan and Zhu Beile both said that if the Han army was useless and wasted money and grain, it was better to let it reclaim and collect grain. ”

Wen Zhongfa smiled and said, "This is also fucking unreasonable...... When people surrendered, you didn't even have enough food, the Han army wanted to reclaim the land, to prepare their own food to fight, to finish the official food service, and if they won the battle, the Jurchens grabbed it first, and then the Mongols robbed it, and finally it was the turn of the Han army, and they couldn't even drink the soup, who would really want to fight the war? ”

The bald man said impatiently: "Let's do all this, this is really a new trend, and it is worth noting." ”
