"I didn't expect that during the war, the post station was closed, and so many people gathered in just half a month!" Passing through the houses of the princes who temporarily housed all kinds of princes under the Lingkou Pass, looking at the rows of simple but orderly, crowded, and lively houses, Zhang Yuan was also stunned for a while, how long had he been gone, and the appearance of the Lingkou Pass had changed, which was really a bit unexpected.

What really amazed Zhang Yuan on the street was that although there were many people carrying weapons and calling friends, there were even more people in cloth patches.

It must be known that at this moment, the battle between Fenzhou and Sichuan is endless, Lingkou Pass is the main road of the West River, and the Yuan army that was scattered and could not return to Erdenet sneaked up on the passing Xihe army or people from time to time, and the nearest road from Lingkou Pass to Erdenet was the most chaotic, but there were so many people gathered here, which really made people marvel at the survival ability of human beings.

Lingkou Pass has formed a small market town, the market town is built on the mountain, expanded by the original Yuan army left by the building, close to the pass is not allowed to build buildings, according to the formation of the 'street' is very wide, more than 10,000 people without hindrance, soon entered the pass under the pass.

The gate of the pass was opened, and the Xihe army rushed in.

When Zhang Yuan entered, Xue Xiuji, the guard general guarding the pass, was already waiting in the pass.

"See the lord!" Xue Xiuji knelt down and clenched his fists.

"Get up!" Zhang Yuan pulled the reins, motioned for the snow lion to step aside, get out of the way, jumped off the snow lion to help Xue Xiuji, and said: "These days, the pass has been managed well, and those princes' envoys have not made trouble!" ”

The Heroes Conference was held in the town of Tomb. And when it reached Lingkou Pass, it was blocked, even if the Xihe army was strong, there would always be some unruly people. It's not normal if you don't blow up your hair.

"Tell the lord that before noon today, eighty-six teams have entered the Lingkou Pass, and many people have gathered to make a living, and in the end, in order to avoid too many people to make trouble, they will build a market town, so as to calm the hearts of the people, and there will be no more troublemakers for troublemakers!"

Xue Xiuji said it lightly. But Zhang Yuan didn't think it was that simple, as a person recruited by Zhang Yuan from the Northern and Southern Jin Dynasties, although his strength was not outstanding. The intelligence is not enough to lead an army to fight on one side, but it is also a rare talent, otherwise Zhang Yuan would not have handed over such an important place as Lingkou Pass to the other party.

"Well done!" Zhang Yuan nodded in approval, under the guidance of Xue Xiuji. Come to the Commander's Mansion in Lingkou Pass. Standing at the door of the mansion, Zhang Yuan said to the generals behind him: "You go down to settle the soldiers first, and after two hours, you go down and inform you, I will hold a banquet in the mansion, and anyone above the centurion can come!" And in the army...... Drink and celebrate! ”

Saying that, Zhang Yuan said to Xue Xiuji: "I still need to trouble you to be more vigilant today!" ”

"Whoa!"

Xue Xiuji knew that alcohol was not allowed in the Xihe army, but he had just returned victorious. If you don't reward some, you can't say it, but now Zhang Yuan has spoken. That will definitely make many suffocating drunkards drink a lot, and more than 10,000 people are afraid that they will be drunk, and they can't let their guard down at this time.

"Alright, you all go down and get busy!!"

"The last general will retire!"

Zhang Yuan waved off the generals, took Xue Xiuji into the mansion, and found that although the mansion had been renovated, it was not extravagant and luxurious, and nodded with satisfaction secretly, and said secretly: "Sure enough, he is worthy of Gao Huan's first batch of generals from the dragon, although his talent is not outstanding, but he is also a person who abides by it. ’

Sitting on the upper seat of the hall, Zhang Yuan carefully looked at the list submitted by Xue Xiuji, and after a long time, he spoke: "Among these people, there should be many fake names, there are a few Li Kui and Li Ghost in this alone, have you checked them out?" ”

Xue Xiuji said: "Tell the lord, in order not to startle the snake, the last general did not investigate, but just sent someone to secretly monitor these teams of people? ”

"Well, you did a good job, many of these people don't want to reveal their identities, but it doesn't mean that they were mixed in by the Yuan army!" Zhang Yuan nodded when he heard this, touched his chin and thought for a while, and said, "Although there are many of them who have not crashed yet, it is not excluded that they deliberately pretend to be other people in order not to reveal their identities." In this way, you secretly send people from all forces to contact them, let them identify themselves, and submit them to the correspondence on the list! ”

In this way, although it is still impossible to figure out who is the dark chess sent by the Yuan army, Zhang Yuan did not think that he could find out all of them, not to mention that even if they were found out, the Yuan Dynasty wanted to know the details of the Heroes Conference, and there were still many forces that did not mind selling it to the Yuan Dynasty.

In the final analysis, although the princes in the Yuan Dynasty were optimistic about Xihe, they only saw that Xihe had gained a firm foothold in the Yuan Dynasty, and few people believed that the Xihe army could replace it.

The reason why Zhang Yuan did this was just to get a feel for the bottom of those forces, so that he could know the true identity of most of them.

"Whoa!" Xue Xiuji responded.

Zhang Yuan looked at the information and asked again, "Where is Ba Dinghan now?" ”

Since Wuliang Hetai left Ganping Prefecture, Ba Dinghan did not stay in Ganping Prefecture for long, in fact, the territory of the Xihe Army was not small, much more than that of the Han Dynasty, there were nineteen states. But these states, except for Hanzhou, which was the first to occupy and have been entrenched for a long time, are not very stable. There were many thieves in various places, and local family officials were divided, and Ba Dinghan had to lead troops to clean up and suppress all places.

"According to the messenger report three days ago, General Ba Dinghan has arrived north of Lizhou!"

"Oh? Come! Zhang Yuan was slightly stunned and shouted.

"See the lord!" The guard outside the door walked in and knelt down.

Zhang Yuan said: "Go, arrange someone to ask General Ba Dinghan, but do you want to go down to Linzhou and Fuzhou?" ”

Yes, when he heard that Ba Dinghan was north of Lizhou, Zhang Yuan had a premonition of the other party's intentions, in fact, these days, Zhang Yuan was also thinking about where the Xihe Army should go.

Since entering the Yuan Dynasty, the Xihe Army has been like a wild horse that has escaped the reins, rampage to conquer the city, if it were not for the last Zhang Yuan to put the reins on this wild horse and send Xu Rong to command, maybe the territory occupied by the Xihe Army would have become a straight line.

Even so, the territory of the Xihe Army is now like a huge cone, the deeper it goes, the weaker it becomes, and it is surrounded by the territory of the Yuan Army, and the other party can enter the Xihe territory from all sides at any time, and even lure the local forces that originally surrendered. Ba Dinghan may also understand this, so he wants to take this opportunity to sort out a stable back road for the Xihe army to avoid being cut off by the Yuan army. (To be continued......)
