Although he said that he wanted his brothers to sing and eat, although there was such a confidence in his heart to support him, there were still several mountains in front of him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

His current strength is only a group of fighting men, so it is easy for him to kill a person, but to become a superior person?

It's much harder than killing.

He can be a good businessman, and he can be a good hero, but if he wants to be a good official or a good general, he has never been exposed to such things.

What's more important is that none of these brothers regard themselves as superiors, and what kind of mentality they hold can almost decide a person's fate.

Whether they are horse bandits, smugglers, or rangers, they can do whatever they want, be unreasonable, unruly, and turn around with a smile on their faces and set fire to other people's tribes.

But if he wanted to do something big, he couldn't go on like this.

Yan Bei scratched his hair with some distress, mixed with the sand blown by the wind in the desert outside the plug, tore open the dry and hard dried meat, stuffed it in his mouth, chewed it, and drank water in small sips.

They made a big circle around Youzhou and Saiwai, but they still didn't get out of the Juliu River and walked into this desert again.

The merchants who wandered the border had many mortal enemies, the guards of the Han or Wuhuan, and their lives were over without saying a word. Or if you don't know the way and don't have enough food to prepare, it's worse than being slaughtered by the guards. Then I wake up in the desert every day, the surrounding environment is completely different from before I go to bed, and sometimes I don't even find the right place to sleep, and I can't get up in the morning when the sand presses on my body.

However, it is still easier to walk from Youzhou to Saiwai and then enter Jizhou, because it is an east-west direction, walk with the shadow in the morning, and rest and eat when the shadow becomes smaller, and follow the sun when it is the hottest, and you can sleep with a fishy animal skin when the mountain sets.

After walking for less than a few days, you can reach the Juma River.

The Juma River is still the Juma River, but the assassination of Tao Qian is in the middle section, and this is just the upper reaches of the river.

Walking more than 100 miles south along the Juma River, you can enter the boundary of Shanggu County, but just after doing something evil in Youzhou, Yanbei did not plan to lead the team into Youzhou, at least not to enter places outside Youzhou Daijun, because once the extraneous branches are born, they will become self-defeating.

That would be stupid.

The group rushed to the Juma River, leaned on the bank of the shallow water beach to wash away the mud and wind and sand on their bodies, let the river water soak the chapped skin on their bodies, and rested comfortably for a few days.

In this place, it is the safest time. Use rattan to weave a fishing net in the river, rest for an hour and hug it up to catch small fish, food and water do not have to worry, this kind of place is sparsely populated, it is the best choice for rest.

After recuperating their spirits, everyone hit the road again.

The road behind is much more difficult...... Since you can't go to Youzhou, there is only one way to go.

Cross the border between Bingzhou and Youzhou and head to Jizhou.

Crossing the state border is a very low-security technical job, not to mention the state border in this era, even if the counties in the county are checked, not to mention those kiosks, each of which has the right to check the luggage of ordinary people and merchants, and this group of people has bows and arrows in their bags...... This is absolutely contraband, not to mention the common people, except for the kind of Liangzhou where the rebellion has not stopped and the Han Dynasty basically can't control it, the officials and people in all states in the world can't hide bows and crossbows privately.

But there are no restrictions on swords and armor.

This half-merchant and half-bandit team, since entering the Han soil from the city wall of Daijun, has been careful everywhere, like an army, there are scouts in front of the cavalry who bury their tracks, they can only travel thirty or forty miles a day, and they are afraid of encountering other pedestrians and accidents, and as soon as the scouts report that someone is passing by, they hurriedly drive the frame to drill into the forest.

But fortunately, they are now about to enter the area of action of the later Black Mountain Army, that is, the Taihang Mountains.

At this time, there was no title of the Black Mountain Army, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, many people in the old Taiping Road retreated into the mountains, and most of them fell into the grass, even Yanbei in Youzhou also heard the Jizhou Yellow Turban Yu Party here The powerful bandit style.

But their activity area is mostly at the southern end of Taihang Mountain, and Yan Bei and the others are in the northwest of Taihang Mountain at this time, and they will not intersect with the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

The route they need to take is the Flying Fox Trail and the Puyin Trail in the Taihang Eight Paths, and they can reach Zhongshan Kingdom.

This way I walked for more than a month.

The food and water brought out from the plug have already been eaten, sometimes eating wild fruits in the mountains, sometimes walking the mountain road to catch some small beasts, on the way, Yan Bei himself figured out some bow skills, at least he can carefully shoot the little rabbit ten steps away, which is also a great harvest.

As they got closer and closer to the border of Zhongshan, the road of Yanbei and the others became more and more difficult, because they needed to climb a Baizhang mountain peak to reach Zhongshan.

It is not an easy task to lead a horse on a mountain road, many brothers have blisters on the soles of their feet, a group of brothers are not from a wealthy family, they have more or less suffered enough when they were young, and the soles of their feet have thick calluses, but even so they are still abrasive by the mountain roads in Jizhou, which makes the road more difficult.

Not only was it difficult to walk, but they also lost two war horses and a box of animal skins when they were about to turn over, if this thing was sold to Zhongshan, how could they exchange it for five or six days' worth of dogs and horses, let alone those two war horses...... In this year, the high-headed horses produced outside Youzhou Saiwai were scarce, and they were domesticated war horses, and they were three or four gold cakes when they were bought separately.

But fortunately, people's lives and most of their belongings were not lost, and even when they went over the mountain, people began to preach to each other about the good life after arriving in Zhongshan.

For the outlaws who have endured enough hardships along the way, the life of Yan's Wu in Zhuo County, Youzhou is already excellent!

Wang Yi's brand-new iron armor was covered with scratches, and a group of people were all unkempt, poking their heads out of the mountain peak to look at the outline of the city covered by clouds and mountains in the distance, it was like the savages in the mountains had seen the light of day again, and they all stood on the mountain road and shouted loudly towards the boundless wilderness below the mountain...... No one heard it anyway.

And at this moment, the sharp-eyed Jiang Jin suddenly noticed that a black line in the distance was slowly moving between the roads under the clouds, and hurriedly pulled Wang Yi and Yanbei and said, "What do you think is that?" ”

Yan Bei felt horrified when he saw it, and hurriedly threw the reins in the hands of his entourage, not even caring about any mountain paths, tore off a piece of robe and covered his face, and went directly to the dense woods growing on the foothills, even if the branches and leaves in the forest slashed his cheeks painfully, he didn't care at all, as long as a fierce man pierced down.

"Don't be stunned, I'll go with Erlang, you guys hurry up and lead the horse around the mountain road!" Jiang Jin was extremely surprised by Yan Bei's movements at first, and then thought of something and hurriedly followed Yan Bei's appearance to drill down and roll under them.

Nearly a hundred paces below them, there was a path where you could see the armor and banner of the slow-moving procession in the distance.

There is no doubt that there will be no other than soldiers and horses marching in such a battle on the official road.

What they are afraid of is that Jizhou is in chaos again, at this time, the animal skins they have transported thousands of miles will not be sold, and what is even more terrifying is that the life originally planned cannot be carried out at all, and they will be regarded as stragglers by others, no matter which army will attack them.

No one wants to face this.

Yanbei ran fast in the forest, the tree had not yet stabilized, the person had already rushed to the next tree, and in the blink of an eye, he got into the forest again, and suddenly came out from a dozen steps ahead, and in more than twenty breaths, he had already run to the side of the mountain road below, and his body was on a pine tree three times and five divided by two, and he sat firmly on it with climbing branches, tearing off a pine branch to cover his body, stretching his neck and looking down.

More than 100 steps down, there is a wide official road.

The sound of stamped footsteps and horses' hooves, the exciting sound of military music sounded from the end of the mountain road, the first to crash into Yanbei's eyes was a Chinese character flag, there were more than a dozen cavalry scouts looking around on the road at the front of the military formation, and after hundreds of paces were more than 100 Han army foot soldiers in white clothes and red armor wearing various standard ring knives, spears, and long ge.

"Han Army!"

Then there was a red big banner standing in the middle of the formation, and the huge Zhang characters were particularly conspicuous, and a veteran under the big banner could not see the appearance clearly. On the left side of the banner stands a large flag marked with the grandson of the governor, on the right stands the leopard-tailed banner of Karasuma greedy king, and on the left of the flag is a young and powerful Han army general, and on the right is a general of a different race.

Looking back again, Yan Bei's eyes narrowed, countless Wuhuan cavalry, moving along the winding mountain road, everywhere was the chaotic sound of the Hu men laughing at each other on the march, and when they got close, they almost overshadowed the military music.

The military discipline of these foreigners...... A fight with your own family!

"Erlang, what's written on the flag?"

Jiang Jin also ran to the mountain road, he couldn't climb the tree in iron armor, he could only squat between the fluffy grass and watch from afar, and couldn't help but exclaim: "What a majesty, when will our brothers be able to wait for the general, then his mother is worthy of this life!" ”

"You ask me, who the hell do I ask? Lao Tzu is also illiterate! Yan Bei sat on the tree and watched the excitement, and he didn't know a few words on the flag, so he could only whisper: "That is Zhang, the banner of the great sage and good teacher is also this, and that seems to be a public ...... The one on the right is a Karasuma man, with a leopard's tail hanging from the banner, and most of them are from a royal family. ”

"Male? Is that young general Gongsun Zhan? Jiang Jin whispered, where are there people who grew up in Youzhou who don't know Gongsun Zhan, that is a real hero, who dares to take a dozen cavalry to charge Xianbei in Youzhou, "Our famous martial artist in Youzhou is Gongsun Zhan!" ”

"He's been added to the rank of knight again? Some time ago, it was the long history of the subject country of Liaodong. ”

It wasn't until the soldiers and horses slowly left that Yan Bei let out a sigh, and looked at the scratched Mai from up and down the tree, but his eyes became brighter and brighter, "The Han Dynasty has used troops against the Qiang people in the western Xinjiang!" ”

"How do you know?"

"When there are Qiang people and Liangzhou six counties of Liangzhou Liangjiazi can be driven, the emperor never levied the Wuhuan people, Gongsun Zhan is a Youzhou person, at this time in Jizhou must be marching to the southwest, the south is watery, the emperor can not use the northern foreign cavalry to go on the ship to fight, then it must be to go to the west to quell the rebellion...... I estimate that the marshal surnamed Zhang is Zhang Wen, one of the three dukes. ”

Jiang Jin didn't understand these relationships very well, so he just nodded, but Yan Bei put his arms around his neck.

"We must have a good background this time, at least a hundred people in our hands, and turn back...... Leave a few good horses, and sell the rest! ”

Yan Bei clenched his fists tightly, "We also have to earn military merits and be fucking generals!" Gongsun Zhan, can't we? Lao Tzu doesn't believe it! ”

Yanbei, just don't believe in fate!
