Xiaoguan is located in the southeast of Guyuan, Ningxia in later generations. The Liupanshan Mountains lie across the northwest of Guanzhong and serve as a barrier.
The pass stands at the pass of Liupan Mountain, guarding the passage into Guanzhong from the Jinghe River. It is an important pass in the northwest of Guanzhong and is responsible for protecting the security of the northwest of Guanzhong.
However, there were two Xiao Passes in history. During the Northern Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty established a new Xiao Pass in Tongxin County, Ningxia, in order to prepare for Xixia.
Of course, King Zhang had already uprooted the Difficult Army at this time, so naturally there would be no North Xiao Pass.
Feng Hui led 300 people, and shortly after passing Xiao Pass, he felt that he was being targeted.
These people are worthy of being the fierce men or descendants of the fierce men of the Silver Spear Festival Capital in the past. They actually successfully bypassed Weizhou (Pingliang), which was basically controlled by Zhang Zhao, crossed the Danzheng Gorge, and touched the area beyond Xiaoguan.
North, we are almost approaching Wonju.
"We'll rest here tonight and take turns to patrol. Let's go out at midnight and get rid of these rangers who are eyeing us!"
Although Feng Hui is forty-six years old, he looks nothing like a man in his forties. He has a broad mouth, sharp eyes, and moves more quickly than a young man.
"You can't fight, and you can't kill. If it's according to someone's temperament, and there are some party thieves and gangsters, we can kill them together!"
Feng Hui's eldest son, Feng Jixun, muttered with some dissatisfaction.
This Feng Hui is good at everything, but he is a little doting on his descendants and doesn't say much when he hears what he says.
Wu Jixing, his confidant next to him, chuckled.
"Don't be angry, Mr. Da Lang. These people can't be killed. Yuanzhou Dangxiang is all under the command of King Zhang. If you are injured, you will not look good."
"Can't you kill a few bastards? Didn't you say that King Zhang has tens of thousands of cavalry? How can a few rangers without armor be so valuable?"
Feng Jixun was still mumbling, but finally Feng Hui couldn't help it anymore. He turned back and stared at his eldest son.
"You idiot, you want to talk too much, do you want to kill everyone? That King of Han has always protected his shortcomings, if you kill his knight, how can you still use us? When will we be able to obtain the position of Duke?"
Feng Hui had a sullen face and gave his son a few harsh lessons.
Of course, this idiot does not mean the idiot in later generations, but it means something like a fool, a fool, etc.
Feng Jixun was scolded and finally became honest.
The remaining few hundred people were not surprised at all and did not complain at all about sleeping in the wilderness.
After silently chewing two cakes and drinking a few sips of cold water, the man fell asleep almost instantly without the need of a whistle.
In the early morning of the next day, when Yin Zhuzhu arrived with hundreds of cavalry, the hilltop where his party rider had vowed that there must be someone there was already empty.
"Send your horse and report to the Baicao Army and the tribes near Shimenguan that someone has broken in. We must find them from heaven to earth." Yin Zhuzhu glared coldly at his subordinate, the cavalry flag commander.
After working on it for a long time, I guess everyone else has passed through Wonju. I don’t even know how many people there are? Who are they?
If this were during wartime, it would be enough to knock many people's heads off.
Feng Hui and others traveled day and night, covering more than a hundred miles in just two days, but this was their limit.
Because it is not easy to go north through Yuanzhou to the Yanzhou area. The Guiyi Army has deployed a large number of sentinels here. If you want to go up, you can only pass through the river valley area.
After resting for a while, bursts of dust rose into the sky in the distance, getting closer and closer, and soon the sound of horse hooves could be heard.
Feng Hui was immediately overjoyed. Feng Jixun, Wu Jixing and others around him were all smiling. Wu Jixing even said happily.
"People say that the fine cavalry in Hexi will not let the Khitans, and today it turns out that it is true!
This is just the Dangxiang tribal ranger under the rule of King Zhang. The tracking ability is so good. If it is an elite, it will be unparalleled in bravery. We are in the right place!"
"Take out the large banner of the Lingwu Army Jiedu Envoy, and let's wait here for King Zhang to arrive!"
Feng Hui was also very excited. Ever since Shi Jingtang kicked him out of the position of Jiedushi of the Three Towns of Heyang to make room for Yang Guangyuan, he had made up his mind to find another Ming Lord.
Zhang Zhao originally didn't want to come to see Feng Hui. People always lack an understanding of things they haven't seen with their own eyes. This was the case with Zhang Zhao towards Feng Hui.
He originally planned to just send Zhang Xichong to recruit them, but since he heard that there were people who could sneak from Weizhou to Lingzhou and that non-cavalry people could travel sixty miles in a day, he immediately realized their value.
Just for his ability to infiltrate and march, not to mention this era, even in later generations, it would be quite acceptable.
You must know that half of them have armor, and each of them carries a weight of at least forty kilograms.
On the mountain, there were only a few hundred people, but it gave people the feeling of a forest of swords and guns. Half of them were wearing iron armor, holding bright silver spears, and their bodies were decorated with leopard tails.
Half of them were holding hard bows and wearing tight-fitting leather armor. They formed a very layered phalanx with their backs against the mountains to deal with the cavalry.
Huang Yingda drove up to Qianying Yangzhen's cavalry and sprinted around them repeatedly, but the infantry remained motionless.
Whenever the cavalry is about to approach a dangerous distance, the opponent will accurately fly out arrows as a warning. The distance of each arrow is basically the same.
"Your Majesty! What a good infantry. Huang Yingda charged several times, but the opponent couldn't even move.
But if he gets close, the strong archers on the opposite side will already be ready. If they only look at their shooting skills, Huang Yingda and the others will definitely suffer."
Ma Yaozi said from the side, and Zhang Zhao also nodded. Although Huang Yingda's cavalry was not the most elite among the Guiyi army, it was not something ordinary infantry could handle.
Moreover, the opponent is so calm and calm. If they are equipped with pear blossom guns, with this kind of primary firearm that can be fired, coupled with the light cloth-covered armor, they will definitely be a powerful force.
Thinking of this, Zhang Zhao asked the flag soldiers to play flags and asked Huang Yingda and others to leave. He rode his horse alone and ran towards the hillside.
Feng Hui watched Zhang Zhao getting closer and closer, and his heart began to beat.
Soon, Zhang Zhao entered the shooting range of their bows and arrows. As long as Feng Hui ordered to shoot at this time, he would definitely shoot Zhang Zhao into a hedgehog.
But what he didn't know was that Zhang Zhao was wearing special cloth-covered iron armor, which was more protective and lighter than ordinary cloth-covered armor. The iron sheets lined inside were made by Cao Yanming in a blast furnace.
Fine steel plate.
In addition, Zhang Zhao also wore a steel wire ring armor with excellent defensive power. With this kind of two-layer armor, no strongman like the Barbarian Bear could hit Zhang Zhao with a big hammer.
Zhang Zhao didn't stop until he was thirty steps away. He took off the phoenix-winged bag on his head.
"May I ask who is Commander Feng Jie from the imperial court? Come out and see him!"
Feng Hui threw away the horizontal knife in his hand, took off his robe and armor, and walked towards Zhang Zhao wearing only a single suit.
The three hundred silver spear soldiers behind him all lowered their spears in unison.
"Feng Jieshuai came from Tokyo, but he came to take the land of Lingwu under the order of the Lord of Jin?" Zhang Zhao deliberately asked loudly.
When Feng Hui heard this, he stopped directly ten steps away from Zhang Zhao.
"Lingwu is the place of the imperial court. The emperor appointed me to be the military commander of the Lingwu Army. Of course I have to go to Lingwu to take up the post."
Zhang Zhao laughed loudly and said, "Then Yanyun is also the land of the imperial court. Why not appoint a few military governors to take office?"
Feng Hui smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, you know what you are asking. Your servants are only sent by the court. Your Majesty is also a court official, so why should you embarrass me?"
"The Lord of the Jin Dynasty has lost his virtue and his father is a Khitan man. He is not enough to protect this country of thousands of miles. I, the Guiyi Army, intend to bring order to the chaos. Why should you, Feng Guangzhao, pretend to be the real Lord and not come to see the real Lord and work together for a great cause!"
Zhang Xichong rode out at this moment. He and Feng Hui were old acquaintances.
"What are you still hesitating about, uncle? Your Majesty is so thirsty for talents. With my uncle's talents, why should he be frustrated under the command of the Lord of Jin?"
This time the person who rode out to talk turned out to be Chai Rong.
It turns out that Feng Hui is from Weizhou, which is close to Xingzhou. When he was young, Guo Wei, Chai Rong's uncle and adoptive father, was from the same hometown and they were acquaintances.
Well, in fact, not only are they acquaintances from the same hometown, but they are also good friends who have been sneaking around together. They were both rangers in Wei Bojun's territory.
The millet-eating bird on Guo Wei's neck was stabbed by a wandering Taoist priest together with Feng Hui. The two of them were very similar, and even after they got married, they often ate, drank and gambled together.
Feng Hui naturally knew Chai Rong and was immediately shocked!
He knew the abilities of Guo Wei as his adopted son, and also knew the relationship between Chai Rong and Guo Wei.
Being able to keep Chai Rong by his side without going back to Hedong to find Guo Wei is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.
He had infiltrated so far and showed himself to be a strong soldier, so he came to seek refuge with us.
Feng Hui originally planned that if Zhang Zhao was not the master, he would sell the imperial envoy Lingwu at a good price and find another place to make a living. At least he could go to Hedong and hang out with Guo Wei.
If Zhang Zhao is the master, then he should follow him and seek the position of Duke.
At this moment, people like Zhang Xichong and Chai Rong knelt down on one knee after seeing that they were all working for Zhang Zhao.
"If your Majesty does not despise a certain old man, I will serve you with three hundred silver spears, and I am willing to use the power of dogs and horses!"
