After that day, Wang Xian no longer had time to fool around in Xiaojiangnan, he had to be busy with the preparations before the arrival of the army, but it was not going well...... This is truly self-inflicted. According to the regulations, the army of the Ming Dynasty was supplied nearby, and the prince led the young army to fight in Shanxi, and the supply was taken care of by the Shanxi political envoy. But in Taiyuan City, from the political envoy to the prefect to the prefect, they were all arrested and imprisoned by Wang Xian, and now they are all deputy envoys, senators, fellow governors, county ministers and the like acting for government affairs, and they all say that they have no right to open the treasury and transfer grain, and can only wait for the clear will of the imperial court.

Wang Xianzhi said, on the one hand, these people are silent and dare not act rashly; On the other hand, I also offended them badly and took the opportunity to make myself ugly. But his current identity is a general under the command of the deputy chief soldier of Shanxi, and he can no longer use the royal flag of Qincha to scare people, and if people do not cooperate, he will cry out in vain.

Another major event, the transfer of troops was not smooth, the soldiers of Shanxi and Datong refused to listen to Zhu Zhanji's general orders, and the first infantry surrounded Guangling County. It is not necessary to be hasty in saying that the dispatch of troops is a major matter, and it is necessary to discuss with His Highness before deciding on a strategy...... As a result, both sides were blamed, and after waiting for more than half a month, His Royal Highness Taisun had already led the army into Shanxi, and Wang Xian's side had not made much progress...... The only gain was that Zhang Hui couldn't stand it, so he came forward to help him borrow 5,000 stone of military rations.

During this time, seeing Wang Xian's disgraced face, Zhang Hui dragged him to Xiaojiangnan to relax...... Zhang Hui and Pang Ying are still fooling around in Xiaojiangnan, Zhang Hui is a big flower, naturally there is no need for a reason, even Pang Ying, a guy who is not very interested in women, actually stayed here on the grounds that the matter of Xuanfu was over and stayed here with Zhang Ergongzi.

In fact, everyone knows that the purpose of his stay is just to spy on Wang Xian and King Jin at close range......

Daoxiang Village in Xiaojiangnan. Warm nephrite, Yingsheng Yanyu, Zhang Hui and Pang Ying took turns to persuade them to drink, but Wang Xian was really not happy.

"Brother look away," Zhang Hui persuaded: "They are unwilling to send money and troops now, it's just to be angry, but when His Royal Highness Taisun comes down, they won't dare to make a mistake, and they won't have to send people and food obediently?" ”

"His Royal Highness Taisun has arrived, and he found that he was not ready for anything, shouldn't I be left behind?" Wang Xian said with a sad face.

"What's the matter?" Pang Ying said with a smile: "Brother, you have made such a great contribution to the crown prince and grandson, and occasionally mess up an errand, what is it?" How does this sound like schadenfreude.

Zhang Hui glanced at Pang Ying, and hurriedly comforted Wang Xian: "Don't listen to him, whoever does this errand is like this, and nothing can be smashed." ”

"Alas, Brother Pang is comforting me, how can I not know what to do?" Wang Xian smiled bitterly: "Actually, I'm not worried about myself, I'm just worried that the preparation is not effective, and the emperor will blame the grandson for delaying the bandits." ”

"That's great...... Pang Yingxin said, he had an indescribable greasy taste for Wang Xian, which was fine, but when he knew that Wang Xian had only been a thousand households for a few months, and was promoted to Zhenfu, Pang Zhenfu was not happy...... He is forty years old this year, and he has always been proud of his transformation from a grassroots gangster to a Jinyi Wei Zhenfu. And Wang Xian also started from the grassroots, and now he has also become a calmer, the only difference is that he used it for 20 years, while Wang Xian only used ...... Three years.

It's really more popular than people, and Pang Ying couldn't get angry when she saw Wang Xian's young face. You have to be polite all day long, can you not hold your breath in your heart? At this time, I finally seized the opportunity to teach this kid a lesson in the tone of an elder. He touched the prostitute's breasts, and said with a smile: "It turns out that my brother is worried about this, brother, let me tell you, you are worried about it too much." Because Taisun can't win quickly this time to suppress the bandits, it can be regarded as a miracle to be able to pacify the White Lotus in a year! He coughed and said, "You are so good at being a White Lotus demon, the elite soldiers of the two towns of Xuanda have already dusted them to ashes." When you arrive in Datong, you will know that this battle is really difficult to fight, and there is only a long-term siege to cut off its supply. ”

"Lao Pang is right." Zhang Hui also smiled: "This is a slow job, don't be in a hurry at this time, think through this, is my brother much better?" ”

Wang Xian was explained by the two of them, and finally let go of his mind and showed a smile. In Daoxiang Village, the music of **** sounded again......

From the day of the fight, Wang Xian simply stopped being in a hurry, he should eat flowers and wine, eat flowers and wine, and sleep and sleep, which really seemed to have put aside military affairs.

The days passed, and after the New Year in a blink of an eye, Zhu Zhanji would arrive in Taiyuan in a few days...... Wang Xian was busy again, leading the guards to clean the barracks, buy New Year's goods, and prepare for the Young Army to celebrate the New Year in Taiyuan.

During that time, Zhang Hui and Pang Ying had been paying close attention to Wang Xian, and learned that he had purchased a large number of incense wax, paper codes, firecrackers, New Year's paintings, etc. on the street today, and the barracks also began to ask cooks to grind noodles and steam dry food, Pang Ying smiled: "It seems that Taisun is really planning to spend the New Year in Taiyuan." ”

"What should I do if I don't celebrate the New Year in Taiyuan?" Zhang Hui smiled and said: "Until now, the military rations have not been found, and the army has not been found. Could it be that with more than 10,000 soldiers and 5,000 stone grains to suppress the bandits? It's a joke. ”

"yes." Pang Ying breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Originally, I was still worried about what to do if the King of Jin supported them, but now it seems that Zhu Jixi has not completely fainted." ”

"Hehe......" Zhang Hui chuckled and said: "As long as the King of Han beats and knocks, he knows that it is impossible for him to want to be left and right." ”

"It seems that there is really nothing to worry about." Pang Ying smiled: "In this way, we can also spend the New Year with peace of mind." ”

"Yes, the world is the biggest for the New Year." Zhang Hui laughed lewdly and said, "Lao Pang hasn't tried it yet, let's celebrate the New Year in a brothel." ”

"Haha......" Pang Ying laughed loudly: "If it weren't for the blessing of the second son, I wouldn't dare to think about it in this life." ”。

On the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, Wang Xian's Qin Dispatch has been changed to Taisun Xingzai. Wang Xian, Gu Xiaolian and the brothers moved to the east courtyard and vacated the main courtyard to His Royal Highness the Taisun who was about to arrive.

In the back study of the east courtyard, Wang Xian and Liu Zijin sat opposite each other, and the latter still had a burden and a sword at his hand, obviously leaving. After Zhang Wu said those two words that day, although Liu Zijin couldn't accept it for a while, after thinking about it, he also understood that this was the only choice at the moment...... In fact, from the day Liu Zijin was taken down by Wang Xian, accepting the imperial court's recruitment was the only way out for him and his brother, but Wang Xian didn't pierce the window paper for a long time, and he didn't want to think about these two words.

Under Zhang Wu's repeated persuasion, Liu Zijin finally agreed to accept Zhao'an, and this time he returned to Guangling County to contact a group of brothers who had retreated to Pingxingguan. Before leaving, Wang Xian naturally wanted to meet him and give him some advice.

"After returning to Pingxingguan and recruiting your brothers, your only task is to defend there." Wang Xian instructed: "Pingxingguan is the southern gate of Guangling County, and after the imperial court recaptures it, it will be much easier to attack Guangling County in the next step." ”

"I know it." Liu Zijin replied vaguely, glanced at him and said, "What else do you have to say?" ”

"Don't think about finding Yu Gui, Han Tiancheng, and them for revenge." Wang Xian said: "You are not their opponent, everything will be said when I lead the army to arrive." ”

"Hmph......" Liu Zijin snorted, got up and picked up the burden and sword: "Take care of my brother, I'm leaving!" "Zhang Wu wants to recuperate, and he has to be a hostage, so naturally he can't go on the road with him.

"Go ahead." The so-called words are not speculative for more than half a sentence, and it is very appropriate to describe these two, Wang Xian touched his nose helplessly and watched this guy leave.

Liu Zijin followed Zhou Yong and others to the military camp outside the city, stayed in the military camp until dark, and then took advantage of the cover of night to leave Taiyuan. With the documents issued by the Jin Palace, he traveled unhindered along the way, and arrived outside the Pingxing Pass a few days later.

At this time, the Great Wall has not yet been built, the so-called Pingxingguan is just a dilapidated Guanlou on the Pingxingling, but the lofty mountains and mountains are shrouded in snow, and people can still feel the style of Xiongguan.

It's just that stationed in Guancheng at the moment is a group of soldiers called Huazi who lack food and clothing. These soldiers are a group of brothers loyal to Liu Zijin, Yu Gui and Han Tiancheng, as soon as they came up, they hunted and killed their leaders, causing their group of dragons to be leaderless, chaotic, although they resisted bravely, they were still broken by each one, and the rest escaped from Guangling County, retreated to Pingxingguan, and with the help of the dangerous terrain, they stabilized their positions.

But they escaped in a hurry, without bringing any provisions, and there was still some food in store at Pingxingguan, but it was burned by Han Tiancheng's spies...... The reason why Han Tiancheng did not immediately storm Pingxing Pass was that it might cause too many losses, and secondly, he was waiting for the people in the city to starve to death.

Sure enough, more than 3,000 people guarding the Pingxing Pass wanted to go down the mountain to grab grain, but the government government within a radius of 100 miles had already been fortified and cleared, and the common people were all hiding in the city, and they couldn't get a grain of grain at all. It was freezing and snowy now, and he didn't even have to eat some wild vegetables and leaves, so he quickly boiled and ate all the belts and leather armor, and even pulled out the cotton wool on his cotton clothes and ate them. In the end, there was no choice but to dig grass roots and turn snow into water to cook soup and eat, but it was only better than nothing...... Within ten days, the people were dizzy with hunger, and after a few more days, they could only lie down all day, and they could only breathe.

About the time of the fire, Han Tiancheng led 20,000 troops to knock on the level. What surprised him was that the group of guys who were about to starve to death actually repelled wave after wave of attacks from several times the enemy, although it was said that the heavy snow covered the mountains and the cliffs hung with ice, adding eight points of difficulty to knocking on the level, but in Han Tiancheng's opinion, as long as his subordinates could climb the gate, they could recover the Pingxing Pass, how could they be repelled again and again?

The losses caused by the siege are very large, in the past ten days, two or three thousand soldiers have died in the pass, which has dealt a great blow to the morale of the army in Guangling County, and it is almost the New Year, and the soldiers are already thinking about the army, and they don't want to fight anymore.
