Zhe Ziyu glanced at the package that Zhu Yun had been carrying on her shoulder. The package was not big, but heavy. She didn't know what it was. But seeing that she was in the melee just now, no matter how dangerous it was, she always protected the package tightly.
It turns out that the very important thing she mentioned is right here.
Zhe Ziyu couldn't help but ask: "What is it that is so important?"
Zhuyun chuckled and said, "Girl, you should know the rules of our profession. There are some secrets. Please forgive me for not revealing them."
Zhe Ziyu snorted and suddenly asked: "You should be a very important figure under Yang... Taiwei, right?"
Zhuyun blinked and said, "How do you say this?"
Zhe Ziyu said: "As far as I know, this 'Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand' is Yang Hao's skill. If you were not a very important person under his command, how could he teach you this skill?"
Zhu Yun smiled and said: "Girl, I think you don't know much about Sui Feng. My plum-breaking skills are not what Yang Taiwei passed down. In fact, Yang Taiwei can't do this either."
This martial art was taught by the secret agent commander of Feiyu, Master Ma Yi, and every secret agent of Feiyu has learned this skill."
Zhe Ziyu was shocked: "It's not Yang Hao? Yang Hao doesn't know this martial arts either?"
Zhuyun said: "Yes, my master is too busy with official duties, so how can he learn the close-quarters capture skill?"
Zhe Ziyu was stunned for a long time and murmured to himself: "I see, that's it..."
Zhu Yun said again: "Miss Tang, this thing I got is very important. It will not only be of great use to my family, Taiwei Yang, but also Fuzhou Zheshuai will benefit. You and I will suffer together."
We can prosper together. Girl, would you like to accompany me to escort this thing back to Xiazhou?"
Zhe Ziyu pondered for a moment and then hesitated: "Is this thing really important?"
Zhuyun spread her hands and said, "Look, they sent these highly skilled warriors to chase and kill them. They should know how important this thing is."
Seeing that Zhe Ziyu was still a little hesitant, Zhu Yun thought to himself: "The fact that this young lady ran away in anger has caused chaos in Fuzhou and Xiazhou, and there is no peace anymore. It seems that Mr. Taiwei cares about her very much."
, after deceiving her to go back, her elder brother is very likely to tie her up in a sedan chair and marry her to my Taiwei as his wife. How can she be willing to go back with me if he doesn’t use some sweet enticement?
It's better to use this capture technique to lure her. She has always been worried about her defeat at the hands of Madam Yan, so I think this little fish will take the bait obediently."
Thinking of this, Zhu Yun laughed again: "As a secret spy scout, the more skills you have, the more safety you will have. If you escort me back to Xiazhou, girl, I will teach you this grappling skill in return.
What do you think?"
Zhe Ziyu had just left Xiazhou, and it would be too embarrassing to walk back like this. However, he heard that what this man was carrying was very important, and he was afraid that he would really not be able to deliver it and delay the important matter, so he couldn't make up his mind. At this time, he heard that
As soon as Zhu Yun said this, the balance in her heart tilted a little more toward escorting her back to Xiazhou.
Zhe Ziyu thought to himself: "Why don't I help him return to Xiazhou? If I can learn this "Tianshan plum-breaking skill" from him, if I have a chance, I can find Tang Yanyan to avenge my shame and enter Xiazhou.
I just left quietly, so I replied happily: "Okay, then... I will accompany Master Jia for a while!"
Zhu Yun was overjoyed and reached out to hug her. She smiled from ear to ear and said, "That's great. Let's go back to Xiazhou together."
Zhe Ziyu jumped back, his almond-shaped eyes widened, he pressed his sword and said angrily: "Master Jia!"
Zhu Yun spread her hands in the air and looked at Zhe Ziyu's shameful and angry look in shock. Then she realized what she was doing and couldn't help but laugh: "We are all children of the world. I just treat you as a good brother. Why bother to be rigid?" Those common etiquette?”
Zhe Ziyu said angrily: "That's nonsense!"
Zhuyun curled her lips indifferently and said, "Come, let's see what these Tibetan warriors have on them."
Zhe Ziyu turned around and left: "I'm going to pack my things."
Zhuyun chuckled, and while rummaging through the dead bodies, she asked in a loud voice: "Miss Zhe, are you engaged to someone else?"
Zhe Ziyu squatted behind the stone, dismantling the tent, and said angrily: "What does it have to do with you?"
Zhu Yun chuckled twice and said narrowly: "It just so happens that Xiaosheng is not married yet. How old is Miss Zhe?"
Zhe Ziyu slammed the dismantled tent on the ground: "This sly-eyed secret agent of the Yang family doesn't look very reliable. I am a girl and my martial arts skills are not as good as his. What if..."
She frowned and thought for a moment, then got up and walked to the horse bag. She looked back and saw that Jia Dayong was leaning over to pick things up. He didn't pay attention to her actions, so he quickly pulled out a dagger and quietly hid it in his boot...
Ten miles east of Liangzhou City, there is Baita Temple.
This is a small temple with temple walls and buildings made of rammed loess. There is a mud pagoda painted with white powder in the backyard. In front of the pagoda, there is a loess platform three feet long and one foot high, which is where the monks practice. A place to meditate.
There are pine forests all around the courtyard. The ancient pines hugging each other are as high as the sky. There is a winding river behind the temple. Although this temple is far from the splendor of the Central Plains Buddhist temples, it has its own exotic flavor.
This is where the Chinese army was stationed after Yang Hao marched westward and was trapped in Liangzhou. After more than ten days of bargaining and Shang-Chongqing peace talks, Luorong Denba just came here to formally meet Yang Hao and surrender to him.
Yang Hao's conditions were: hand over military power and submit to Xiazhou. Luorong Dengba would be appointed as the prefect of Liangzhou from the self-proclaimed governor of Liangzhou, and Yang Hao would send troops to garrison him. Luorong Dengba's self-proclaimed governor was the governor after occupying a place The official positions commonly used by warlords. When the Volcano King Yang Gun occupied Linzhou, he also named himself the governor. Their governorship was formulated in accordance with the Tang Dynasty. After Emperor Xianzong of the Tang Dynasty, the governor of the branch county was in charge of the army and the people. They had great authority, and they were in charge of the people. The main difference between Jiedushi is the size of their jurisdiction and strength.
Now that Yang Hao asked him to be reassigned as magistrate according to the Song Dynasty system, he would be a full-fledged civil official. From then on, he could only manage the civil affairs of Liangzhou under Yang Hao's Jiefu, while the military affairs would be completely taken over by Yang Hao and stationed troops.
Luorong Denba occupied Liangzhou and originally struggled to survive among the powerful men. Now that he handed over the military power, he had less of a burden. In addition, seeing that Yang Hao had strong soldiers and horses, he was invincible, and he had to be guided by his master. Therefore, all Yang Hao's requests were agreed to. The two parties met and finalized everything. They agreed to hand over the city defense at 11:00 tomorrow, and Luorong Denba returned to the city.
After Luorong Denba left, Yang Hao and several generals remained. They sat on the earthen mat, drank hot tea, and talked and laughed happily.
He Bining said with high spirits: "The commander-in-chief is so impressive that he took Liangzhou without a single blow. If we go west this time and all the states are looking at the scenery like this and bowing down one by one, we people will have no use for us."
Zhang Pu smiled and said: "General Ai, Liangzhou is the closest to Xiazhou. Three of the seven counties in Liangzhou are controlled by Xiazhou, and the other two counties are controlled by the Liugu tribe of Tubo. Liugu The Tibetan chief Luo Dan had actually surrendered to the commander-in-chief. Luorong Denba actually only occupied two counties and had no strength to compete with the commander-in-chief. It was his wisest choice to surrender the city and surrender the entire ancestral hall. But Ganzhou... won't be so easy to win."
Yang Hao's smile faded and he said seriously: "What Zhang Pu said is true. Next, none of the states of Gansu, Su, Gua, and Sha will be as peaceful as Liangzhou. Now that Liangzhou has been obtained, we will use it as our base." , it will be of great benefit to us as we continue our western expedition. For Liangzhou, we must strengthen governance in step with our westward march. This place originally believed in Buddhism, and we can do what it likes and promote Buddhism, thereby promoting the Central Plains culture in a bundled manner. .”
"Haha, don't take things of culture and education seriously. If you want long-term peace and stability, it cannot be achieved by force alone. Whether it is the northern grasslands or the western grasslands, there have been extremely powerful tribal alliances, and their khans span the desert. , relying only on strong force. Without a common culture and economic foundation, when their force weakened, they quickly fell apart. Once they split, they disappeared without a trace and disappeared into the vast sea of people.
Where are the Huns and Turks who were so tyrannical in the past? But our Central Plains is different. Emperors can take turns, but this world is still the same world. Without culture and education, there is no cohesion, and without cohesion, how can we talk about inheritance? This matter I have ordered Zhong Fang and Xu Xuan and others to start working on it. You don’t have to worry about it. Although military affairs are the first priority now, if there is any conflict with cultural and educational matters in peacetime, you can try to facilitate it."
Yang Hao took a sip of tea and said: "In addition, I have ordered the grain and grass military supplies in the rear to be shipped to Liangzhou as soon as possible. Supplying from this can greatly reduce consumption and provide timely supply. The intelligence center and logistics center have all moved forward. , located in Liangzhou. Next, we should consider attacking Ganzhou. As the saying goes, know yourself and the enemy and you will be victorious in every battle. Mr. Zhang, please tell everyone about the situation in Liangzhou."
Zhang Pu, who was swinging a cattail leaf fan with open arms, also became serious. He put down the cattail leaf fan, put his hands on his knees and said: "Since the collapse of the Uighur Empire, its people have been scattered all over the grassland. Among them, the three most powerful forces, one They moved to Gaochang, one group moved to the west of Congling, and the other group was stationed in Ganzhou. There are nine most powerful tribes in Uihe, and the khans of Uihe have always been hereditary among these nine surnames, so these nine surnames are also called The surname is Khan. The Khan who set up a tent in Ganzhou is called Pang Teqin, who is a descendant of one of the nine surnames of Khan. Now he has been passed down for five generations. This generation of Ganzhou Khan is called Yeluohe. Yeluohe can The population under Khan's rule... is more than 200,000."
Ai Yihai, Mu En, and Mu Kui couldn't help being awe-struck after hearing this. Zhang Pu added: "Ganzhou City was built after the capital city of the Uighur Khanate. The city walls are three feet high, the watchtowers are four feet high, and the watchtowers are five feet high. , the city corridor is so wide that it takes a day's walk to pass through the city. However, because they still maintain their nomadic habits and do little farming, the buildings in the city are not densely populated. The Uighur tribesmen in Ganzhou often move out of the city as a whole tribe to chase the water. Grazing, the food is mainly meat, and the grain reserves are very small, which cannot meet the needs of such a large population, so the permanent population of Ganzhou City is only more than 80,000."
Mu En couldn't wait to ask: "How is the military strength in the city?"
Zhang Pu said: "The number of troops that can be recruited in the city is about 20,000 to 30,000. Moreover, the city wall is not high and the city corridor is too large, which is actually not conducive to defense. The trouble is that they have more tribesmen outside the city. Once they learn that Gan
If the state is besieged and we cannot capture the city quickly, we will receive a steady stream of reinforcements.
Our reinforcements are knights from various tribes. They come and go quickly and can use harassment tactics to deal with us. Moreover, there are grasslands and deserts in all directions. There is no necessary road. This geographical peculiarity prevents us from besieging the city and recruiting reinforcements.
If you hold them back to fight to the death, you may even be dragged down by them."
Ai Yihai said: "I heard that the Jinshan Kingdom founded by Zhang Chengfeng, a descendant of Zhang Yichao, and Ganzhou fought endlessly for years to compete for the control of the ancient roads in the Western Regions. They were feuds with each other. Ganzhou Uihe later got help from Daliang, and the army
Trapped in sand
They forced Shazhou to move the alliance under the city and formed a kingdom of father and son. They lowered the title of emperor and became king. Jinshan Kingdom was also renamed Dunhuang Kingdom. The Guiyi Army has always been unwilling to accept this. Can they instigate Jinshan Kingdom to stab it in the back?
A knife?"
Yang Hao shook his head and said: "Now, the Jinshan Kingdom has been renamed the Guiyi Army. The Cao family holds the power and has a good relationship with Ganzhou. I am not very sure that they will not break up with Ganzhou. Moreover, we are here
The purpose of the Western Expedition is to unify all the states, but it's too late for them to share the same enemy, so how can they kill each other at this time?"
Ai Yihai scratched his head and fell silent.
Yang Hao smiled slightly and said: "Now you know why Ganzhou is so difficult to fight?"
Mu En said loudly: "We must fight even if it is difficult! Ganzhou City is not as steep as Yinzhou City. On the westward journey, the strongest force is Ganzhou. As long as we capture Ganzhou, Suzhou Longjia, Shazhou
Do the Zhou Cao family still have the guts to fight me?"
Yang Hao smiled and said: "Of course we have to fight, but how to fight must be carefully measured. If our army's strength is exhausted by attacking Ganzhou, even if we continue to advance westward, how can we conquer these occupied places?
Do you really have it in your hands?"
He raised his head and murmured to himself: "But... we must conquer the Hexi Corridor. Otherwise, our financial resources will be blocked and our troops will be depleted. This big dragon like me will not be able to survive. I must think carefully about it!"
At this time, Mu Yu quickly walked up to the chanting platform and whispered a few words into Yang Hao's ear. Yang Hao's eyes flashed slightly, nodded, and said to the generals: "Don't just think about using force to force
You should know that if you attack a city and kill a thousand people, you will suffer eight hundred losses.
He said, the eight hundred who lost themselves were certainly our soldiers, and the one thousand who killed others should have been our soldiers as soon as the city was conquered. Okay, let's think about it carefully when we go back, and brainstorm ideas.
I can think of the most appropriate method."
The generals stood up and bowed before retreating. Yang Hao picked up the tea, took a sip, and looked up at the front door.
Pingping Tingting, wearing a green-feathered yellow gown and a fluttering belt, looks like she is flying into the sky. A pretty beauty is walking towards the front door...
In Jiuyang Village, more than a hundred knights swarmed in and killed the two enemies in front.
Zhuyun took the lead and shouted: "Follow me!" As she spoke, she charged forward with a spear in her hand. Several spears came towards Zhe Ziyu in front of her eyes. She gave a light scold, clamped her legs between the horse's belly, and rode forward.
The horse quickly took two steps back, reined in the horse again, sided to avoid two dangerous shots, swung his gun to block, and quickly caught up with Zhu Yun.
I don’t know what kind of treasure Zhuyun took from the Tubo people. Along the way, no matter the mountains, rivers, towns and villages, the pursuers were always there. Even if the two of them changed into the clothes of the Tubo people, they could not get rid of the pursuers. Today, we met another group of enemy cavalry, and Zhe Ziyu was already sweating from the kill.
"Kill!" Zhu Yun screamed sharply, and he swung the gun in his hand away from the enemy in front of him. A rain of blood spattered, and the big gun turned and stabbed one person in the face again. At this time, two long spears stabbed from the flanks. Zhe Ziyu rushed to her horse and shot her out of danger on her flank. Along the way, they fought and fought together. The two of them had a tacit understanding of each other. Zhe Ziyu not only learned the exquisite grappling techniques from her, but also learned A lot of bamboo rhymes have been eliminated to retain the essence, and the unique killing skills of each family have been integrated.
"Rush over and get up the mountain quickly!"
Zhu Yun fired three shots in a row with "Keng Kang Keng", deflecting the enemy's weapon. Zhe Ziyu took advantage of the opportunity to follow up. The two of them quickly rushed towards the dense forest on the hillside through the torn hole.
"Fire the arrow! Fire the arrow!"
The pursuers, Tie Yu, shot quickly, and the two men hid in their stirrups. They rushed into the forest and immediately dismounted, leading the horses to flee quickly towards the mountains. The pursuers could still vaguely see their tracks from a distance. As soon as they caught up to the woods, they The grass is deep and the forest is thick, but it is difficult to find their traces.
She didn't know how many mountains she had climbed over, but Ziyu's knees weakened and she almost fell to the ground. She hurriedly called out: "It can't be done, I have to take a rest."
Zhu Yun's breath was long and her expression was calm. She turned around when she heard the sound, looked at Zhe Ziyu's face, frowned slightly and said: "You are practicing foreign martial arts. You can't last long if you only rely on your physical strength."
She put her hands on her waist, looked around, and said: "Okay, let's stop and have a rest and eat something. Later I will teach you a superior internal breathing qigong, 'Kun Dao Zhu... Basic Skill', you You will benefit a lot." As she said that, a strange smile appeared on her face.
Gou'er was ordered by Yang Hao to eavesdrop on the skills taught by Nv Ying to Yu Yanyan, Wawa and others. Gou'er was originally a Taoist disciple, and she understood many of the terms when she heard them, but after all, she was young and had no interest in matters between men and women. She was ignorant, so she understood terms that others didn't understand at a glance, and she didn't understand things that others could understand at a glance. Later, when Yang Hao knew the whole story, he stopped asking her to eavesdrop, but she was good at martial arts. She felt that this skill was not among the master's internal skills, but also felt that it was too weird to be understood, so when she and Zhuyun were in charge of Feiyu Secret Spy and developed the grappling technique, they also I once explained this mental method to the knowledgeable Zhu Yun for help.
At that time, he did not have as strong a sectarian mentality as he did later, and Gou'er was young and ignorant. Zhuyun, who was born as an assassin, had secretly learned many sects' techniques, and did not take these taboos seriously. Gou'er only said a few words. , she knew it was a superior internal skill, so she used her skills to get the whole set of mental techniques from the dog's mouth.
