The wind blew the snow seeds on the leather jacket, making a crackling sound. Luo Jiuhe looked at the sky, and his face showed a sad look.

"General Luo, you seem to be a little worried?"

Quan Gaihong stood beside him and said to him with a smile on his face.

Luo Jiuhe has always been a beloved general in Quan Gaihong's hands, and Quan Gaihong is even "rewarded". Basically, whenever there is a fierce battle, Luo Jiuhe will be allowed to fight the Han army. However, during this expedition to Lushun, Luo Jiuhe and the Han army were responsible for staying behind to guard against the chaos that might have been caused by the Khitan invasion south.

Luo Jiuhe has always disagreed with this kind of rumor. Winter is not the season for military use. Although southern Liaoning is still warm, the Khitans have to fight from Songmo, and the suffering they have to suffer is not ordinary. Even if the Khitans are cold-resistant, they are nearly a thousand miles away, so they can't get there in a short time.

What makes people worry a little about the horse thieves who are in trouble, but there is no need for him and the entire Han army to stay and guard against him. Luo Jiuhe understands that the real reason is their identity: Han people.

In the hands of these alien races, it is impossible for the Han people to gain full trust, even if they make many contributions to these alien races.

"The Tang people are cunning. Ye Chang can assassinate Gao Baosheng alone, and is also a brave and resourceful person. I am worried that Gao Yincheng is not his opponent." Luo Jiuhe whispered: "Governor, you must be cautious."

"What I like most is that you are cautious." Quan Gaihong laughed: "But if you are cautious, you will be timid. The Tang Gou, the surname Ye, claimed to be the guards of Xiangping of the Tang Dynasty, and the Jilizhou recorded the army. In fact, the armored soldiers in his hands were less than fifty, and there were only three hundred weapons. This time I mobilized all the troops, and the strength was enough, so it would be easy to defeat this enemy."

Luo Jiuhe could only smile bitterly, Quan Gaihong was too confident.

He did have three thousand soldiers, but only one thousand belonged to Quangaihong, and the other two thousand were all servants composed of gathering forces from all sides. The military orders could not be completely unified. Although the opponent had only three hundred soldiers to fight, there were also three thousand militias. Because the preparation time was too long, it lost its suddenness. The opponent was waiting for the effort and took advantage of the terrain. It was really not a good time.

"What the governor said is..." However, since Quan Gaihong did not listen to advice, he could only respond. As a general of the Han Dynasty, the result of disobeying the lord must be doubled.

"Gao Yincheng is the last general in our army. The Tang Gou surnamed Ye is only about twenty years old and has not had enough breasts. He can kill Gao Baosheng because of his courage. Gao Yincheng will definitely succeed when he goes here." A person next to him said.

Everyone laughed, and even claimed that Luo Jiuhe suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and echoed.

The troops of three thousand people lined up in a row, and it took a lot of time to go out of the Imperial Shacheng. Standing on the wall of the Beishacheng on the mountain, looking towards the troops, it looked like a long snake, heading south along the mountain road and rushing into the distance. Luo Jiuhe suddenly thought that Ye Chang's killing Gao Baosheng was indeed a sudden attack, not as if he had planned in advance, but he did a very beautiful job of killing Wang Nai's family after taking Weizi Village. After that, he swept the surrounding villages and showed his wisdom and courage.

Gao Yincheng, known as the old general, is really his opponent?

Gao Yincheng was indeed the number one general in Quan Gaihong's hands. In the past twenty years, he took the lead and made a lot of contributions. From Beisha City to Duli Town, it was only a hundred miles away, and the distance was not far. He was not in a hurry. He commanded the entire army for 30 days every day and camped for rest without waiting for the sunset. In short, he did not give the Lushun Army any chance to attack.

The first time his army set up camp, someone came to report: "I saw a few horsemen in the distance, and they turned around and ran away from each other for a few miles, and they were not anxious to chase them."

"It must be Tang Gou's detective, it's okay, let them panic." Gao Yincheng said uneasy.

As he said, the several escaping cavalry were the scouts sent by Nan Jiyun. They rushed to the road overnight and sent the news back to Weizi Village the morning of the next day. Weizi Village also sent fast horses to Lushun. At noon, the fast horses that reported the news entered the Lushun camp.

Zhang Quanzhun, who was performing on the school field, saw the two riders rushing in front and back, and his eyes lit up.

Sure enough, not long after, the horn sounded, and then, Nan Jiyun and other officers who were training left one after another, obviously going to participate in the military convention.

"Zhang Dalang, do you think... is that one here?"

“Of course, yes.”

Another Goguryeo man next to him came up and asked, and Zhang Quanzhun nodded.

At the same time, Wu Dahai on the dock also stood up and looked here. Behind him were a few brothers and Bian Ping as the follower.

Previously, the brothers were disrupted and assigned to different ships, and there was almost no time to get together. Now the sea route is frozen, and everyone returns to the port, and they go around in a small place in Lushunkou every day. Once they become fishermen, they have the time to get together.

"It seems that the Goguryeo people are going to call me. Brother, if this is the case, I will take advantage of the Goguryeo people." Wu Dajiao looked at him for a while and said to Wu Dahai: "I said it a long time ago, we can just kidnap two ships. Now, maybe we have to take it..."

"Nonsense, do you think Ye Zongjun is easy to get along with each other. Remember how Li Yong died in Beihai? He was killed by Ye Zongjun." Wu Dahai sneered: "How could the Goguryeo kid in Beisha City be the opponent of this dog official? I'm afraid he would give meat to the dog."

"Brother, you really look down on that guy. If that guy is so powerful, you dare to attack his boat and craftsman?" Wu Dajiao was a little dissatisfied.

"What is that guy lacking the most? You either don't know, or the waterworkers on the sea. When you cross the ocean, you must be a veteran on the sea for ten years. What else can the dozens of land ducks he brought from the land besides helping us to be apprentices? If I take his ship and craftsman, go back to the south, and find an island as the foundation, what can he do to me?" Wu Dahai smiled and said, "Why did our boss's previous ban on the court? I understand, it's just that we don't have our own foundation. If we occupy an island and then rob some people from the land to farm and work, we can call ourselves emperors and kings overseas."

Wu Dajiao looked at his brother in shock. Their names were naturally pseudonyms, but everyone grew up naked together and was indeed as familiar as brothers. But he never thought that Wu Dahai, who was recognized as his elder brother, had such ambitions.

"Brother Dahai will be the emperor by then, and you will be the prince. How can I throw him away? "Bian Ping smiled and said with a smile.

"You must be a dog meat marquis." Wu Dahai kicked him: "Go and bring the fish over there."

"I'm not afraid of ten thousand, but I'm afraid of one, if... then the dog official can't hold on?" Wu Dajiang said quietly.

"It has nothing to do with us if you can't hold on. The Goguryeo people have occupied Lushun, so we just change our boss." Wu Dahai was distracted by this: "Don't the Goguryeo people use boats?"

"But the Goguryeo people are afraid that they will not give us so much salary like dog officials."

"Haha, what's that little money? You all want to remind all brothers, don't be fooled by that little money. Follow our brothers, you will be waiting for glory and wealth," said Wu Dahai.

While they were talking quietly, after only half an hour, they saw the officers leaving the camp one after another. Then, they saw teams of people leaving.

"What are you doing? If the Goguryeo people are calling, why would they send their troops out?"

"Of course, I sent to Weizi Village. The decisive battle was in Weizi Village. If the Goguryeo people wanted to seize Lushun, they had to take Duli first. If they wanted to take Duli, they had to attack Weizi Village."

Zhang Quanzhun and others were waiting for the result, and they were also whispering. Many people were worried about whether these militia would be sent to the battlefield. Feeling the panic atmosphere around, Zhang Quanzhun was delighted again.

Nan Jiyun led one person out, and Zhang Quanzhun recognized the man, whose surname was Xue, and his name was a single name. It is said that he was originally a wanderer in Chang'an City, but later he followed Ye Chang. However, this person has always been dull and cannot be valued by Ye Chang. He is an insignificant person.

"In the future, you will be led by Xue Ze." Nan Jiyun summoned everyone, but hurriedly gave this order, and then ordered: "The officers of each team will leave, you and I will rush to Weizi Village."

The militia were divided into Ruoyu teams. The officers of each team were all brave and healthy among the victims outside Luoyang City. They were loyal to Ye Chang, and after one and a half years of militarized training and three months of full militarized training, they formed the basis of Lushun's military strength, and they can also be said to be the backbone of the militia. Although they have never been on the battlefield, they are stronger than these militias that have been recruited for more than ten days.

These people were pulled away, and everyone felt even more nervous. When they looked at each other, they could see fear in each other's eyes.

As expected, Xue Ze could not control everyone. After Nan Jiyun and others left, the exercise became rare. Xue Ze had no choice but to end it hastily.

After the team was disbanded, Zhang Quanzhun did not rush back to Duli Town, but wandered with a group of people. Soon, he judged that almost all the old militia were transferred away, and those who were left in Dulushun were the raw melon eggs.

"Weizi Village is indeed the place of decisive battle," Zhang Quanzhun thought to himself.

The next day, the three thousand troops led by Gao Yincheng arrived in front of Weizi Village.

Weizi Village, located halfway up the mountain, has two roads to pass through. After the Beisha Army arrived, it did not rush to attack, but instead set up camp. Gao Yincheng went to the foot of the mountain, looked up at the terrain, and then smiled and said, "Wang Nai of Weizi Village was too stupid at the time. Such a mountain village was actually captured by more than 20 people."

"Yes, although it is not a natural danger that can be used as a guard for tens of thousands of men, as long as there are twenty or thirty people guarding it, without three or five hundred people, it is impossible to break the village." The subordinates also said.

"But if there are thousands of people attacking in two groups, it will not be easy for the village to defend it." Gao Yinchengdao.

He was discussing with his generals how to attack, but suddenly he heard a gong in the village, and then the gate of the village opened, and teams of people came out, first there were ten riders, twenty steps behind, and then dozens of people, each carrying swords and weapons, and the array was neat.

"Wow, it's worthy of being a Tang people. A group of mobs also performed like this. It's not easy to attack Weizi Village." A Goguryeo chief next to him saw this situation and looked back at his subordinates, unable to help but say.

Gao Yincheng nodded. The information they received also said that the Tang Dynasty official could train troops. However, he was not scared, and even vaguely felt that it would be better if these Tang soldiers were elite.

The reason is very simple. This southern expedition, seizing Duli was only one of the purposes. Quan Gaihong's other purpose was to take the opportunity to weaken the strength of the tribes so as to make plans for the next step of directly annexing the tribes.

"Who will dare to fight?"

While they were watching, they suddenly heard a loud shout, shaking the fields, and even the newly accumulated snowflakes on the trees were shook down.

A horse was so shocked that it retreated repeatedly. The Beisha Army general accidentally fell down, and the entire Beisha Army suddenly panicked.

Gao Yincheng looked solemn: There was such a person among the Tang people.

He looked at it intently and saw that the tallest and strongest horse among the twenty Tang people, a man in armor drove his horse forward a few steps. This man was majestic and ugly, but his eyes were bright and bright, just like the stars in the dark night.

"I don't know who this person is. Judging from his appearance, he seems to have some skills. Could it be Nanba?"

What Beishacheng knew about the generals in the Lushun army was Ye Chang and Nan Jiyun, especially Nan Jiyun's magic shoot, and his reputation had long been spread.

"This stupid horse, this stupid horse"

The fallen Beisha would get up at this time, wishing he could kick the horse. He straightened his helmet and saw Gao Yincheng looking at him with contempt. He felt ashamed and angry, and asked for battle loudly: "Gao Gong, I'm willing to take the headquarters to win this first merit."

"I heard that your army is brave and powerful for a long time. If you are willing to win this first merit, it would be great."

This guy is not Quangaihong's direct lineage, but is the chief of a Goguryeo tribe who is summoned. He has always been arrogant. When he heard that he was going to attack the village, Gao Yincheng would naturally not stop him. Not only did he not stop him, he also encouraged: "If you can break this village first, the children in the village will be able to take gold and silk for you."

"good"

The general of Beisha was overjoyed. He looked at the mountain road. The mountain road was narrow. Although there was a large open space at the entrance of the village, it was now occupied by the Tang people who came out of the village. Although he was reckless, he was not stupid. When he saw this, he knew that the other party had a favorable terrain and only attacked from the front, and his troops could not be expanded.

"Silang, you lead people to the east and take the east road to attack me." He summoned his brother and ordered.

His part had only more than 300 people, and they were divided into two directions and headed upwards. Gao Yincheng saw that they were walking along the mountain road and did not move quickly, so he smiled and said, "Do you think he can make achievements in this way?"

Everyone looked at each other, and anyone with a discerning eye knew that this attack was just a test. If it could really achieve success, wouldn’t it mean that the Tang people were about to collapse at one touch?

"Look at how many wooden rocks the Tang people would throw. If there were few, let them approach the village or make achievements." Someone said with courage.

Gao Yincheng nodded.
