Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 843 Lanzhou
Lanzhou is surrounded by a flat land among mountains, a rare mountain plain.This is the land of the ancient building. After the building was conquered by King Wuling of Zhao, counties and counties have been set up in successive dynasties.Now it is the important places of Lin, Feng, and Fu on the east bank of the Yellow River, and it is the key points of the surrounding states and counties.

The sun rises in the east, and the gates of the city are wide open.Ali didn't ride on the horse, but looked at the people around him, looking forward to his own glory.

Upon receiving the news, Song Kaiyan, the magistrate of Lanzhou, hastily greeted him.They bumped into each other halfway, and hurried forward to salute.He cupped his hands and said, "Bojin is coming, why don't you let me know in advance? I want to greet you early."

Ali was not on the horse, and said: "Since Wang Xiao hunted and occupied Fuzhou, the nearby counties and counties have been in turmoil. The king sent me to inspect the place, but there is no fixed location. The day before yesterday, I took Aunt Zhou from Loubanzhai, near Lanzhou. , so I went to the city to rest for a few days."

Song Kaiyan didn't dare to be negligent, so he took Ali and entered the state government.

Ever since Chi Yuping occupied Fuzhou, Lanzhou and these places had no large army stationed, and the officials had completely lay flat, living day by day.Wanyan Yinshu was not reconciled, and sent several troops into the mountain.Or a group of 500 people, or a group of 300 people, and some even only a hundred people.

Ali Bu's team has more than 160 people and came along the Fen River Valley.Although a big stronghold like Red Mud Fort is afraid to fight, the general rebels are no problem.I was lucky the day before yesterday, and caught Aunt Zhou who was active nearby, so I hurried to Lanzhou, fearing that I would be snatched away.

After entering the state government office, Ali suddenly calmed down.Sit down on the seat and urge Song Kaiyan to eat meat quickly, he has been very hungry these two days.

Song Kaiyan ordered the officials to prepare, but he felt uneasy.Lanzhou is too far away from Taiyuan Mansion, but close to Fangshan County.I heard that there are nearly [-] Song troops stationed in Fangshan County. If they get the news and call immediately, how should they respond?It's unthinkable to defend the city, even the prefecture can't defend it, why should Lanzhou be defended?
After leaving the official hall, Song Kaiyan thought about it, and then transferred to the back office.Jin Bing said that he took Mrs. Zhou, the leader of the bandit, but he didn't know what it looked like.There are not many women's rebel leaders nearby, and Loubanzhai is one.It is closer to Daizhou and has attracted special attention.

Aunt Zhou was tied to a pillar in the porch, with her head bowed.The cotton coat on his body was torn in several places, exposing the flesh inside, which was a bit dazzling in the sun.Although he was beaten to the point that he was disheveled, his back was still straight and his body exudes a kind of toughness.

Song Kaiyan walked up to him and said, "What a tall girl! She grows like this, no wonder she can be the leader!"

When Aunt Zhou heard this, she raised her head suddenly, her eyes were like knives, and she was staring at Song Kaiyan.

Seeing Aunt Zhou's face, Song Kaiyan couldn't help saying "ah".Pointing and saying: "Isn't this Miss Song from Donghe Village? When did she become the leader of the bandit! Oh my God, thanks to Bo Jin's bravery and invincibility, he caught this bandit!"

Aunt Zhou looked at Song Kaiyan, and said coldly: "God is blind for a moment, you bastard is still alive in this world! If I have my way, I will cut off your head!"

Song Kaiyan smiled and said: "Up to now, you can only talk about it! If you fall into the hands of Ali Bubojin, how can you survive? I will cut you off in a short while, so as not to have long nights and dreams! I can't think of it, you did it! bandit chieftain!"

While speaking, he shook his head again and again.He turned around and went back to the state government office, urging Ali to kill Mrs. Zhou quickly.

There was a tea stand outside the county government office, and two tea drinkers were sitting squinting at the door of the government office.One said: "Ali did not catch Aunt Zhou, but he ran fast and entered Lanzhou City. It will be difficult to save Auntie."

The other nodded thoughtfully.Said: "Cao Xian went back to recruit brothers, and he should arrive in Lanzhou tomorrow. Just wait for a day, and I will save my mother!"

This is Zhang Guanghe's subordinate Xie Zongyuan.A few days ago, Mrs. Zhou was invited by Zhang Guangzhi to be a guest at Red Mud Fort.Unexpectedly, when I went back, I bumped into Ali who was out on patrol.Outnumbered and taken by Alibu and his gang.

Zhang Guang had hundreds of people in Red Nibao, and Ali didn't know that he was invincible, so he hurried to Lanzhou.When Zhang Guang heard the news, he chased after him all the way.

Xie Zongyuan said: "I heard that Liang Xing is in Fangshan County, with thousands of troops. We might as well go there to ask for help. How can Ali stop it?"

Zhang Guang sighed: "Water can't be far away from fire. I'm afraid that Ali won't stay in Lanzhou for a few days, so what should I do if I kill Da Niang?"

After speaking, he picked up the teacup and drank tea.He quickly put down the teacup, looking very impatient.

Xie Zongyuan said: "The Jin army is in the nearby state army. It's already a grasshopper after autumn. It won't be a few days. I heard that the volcano army and the Baode army have all withdrawn. The Zhijun and the magistrate are in panic all day long It's just that Zhe Zhizhou wants to integrate Lin, Feng, and Fu, and there is no attack for the time being. Liang Xing marched from Fangshan County, and Lanzhou was the first to bear the brunt. Now Song Kaiyan, the prefect of Lanzhou, only wants to run away. How dare he resist Liang prosper?"

Zhang Guangdao: "Without the Jin army, the defenders in these counties are like chickens and dogs! Without Liang Xing's army, our cottages are enough to regain the land!"

Xie Zongyuan nodded.Said: "Now the Jin army guarding Taiyuan feels that there are too few troops, and they can't control these places. For example, Loufan County, the magistrate of the county has run away a few days ago, and now there is no one to control it. If it weren't for our Chini Fort not far from Loufan , it really becomes a land of no man.

Zhang Guang nodded.

After Chi Yuping occupied Fuzhou, the surrounding counties were greatly shaken.The Volcanic Army, the Baode Army and the Golden Army have given up, the troops have withdrawn, and the officials are at their fate.The troops of other states were concentrated in Xianzhou to protect the upper reaches of the Fen River.In Lanzhou and other places, only the state city has a small number of local troops, which can only maintain law and order.

Many officials at the county level below took their property and ran away.Others contacted nearby fortresses, saying they wanted to surrender.Now the mountainous area west of Taiyuan has become a vacuum, and the Jin army surrendered to the Song army.

Liang Xing did not attack immediately in Fangshan County, but mainly dealt with the three prefectures of Lin, Feng, Fu and Jinning Army to stabilize the place.Then there is the accumulation of military supplies, and there is no food to eat if you can't advance.

The mountains in this area are very barren, far worse than the mountains in the Central Plains.Many prefectures and counties can only manage a few miles around the city, and the army rations are not enough.Wang Xiaolie's army needed more supplies and did not dare to advance rashly.

Forts like Red Mud Castle and Flying Kite Castle can already occupy counties.It's just that due to various considerations, especially military rations, there is no offense.For example, Loufan County is not far from Chini Fort, and the magistrate escaped, but Zhang Guang did not occupy it.It is because of the small area around the county seat, coupled with the raids of the Jin army, that there is no supply of military rations.

Zhang Guang looked at the Lanzhou government office with sharp eyes.If it wasn't for Ali Bu's army, who would dare to resist if he went in and hacked Zhizhou now?Ali Bu's more than 100 troops, although not many in number, can run rampant in the mountains for a while.
