Chapter 247 Raid on the Capital

The terrain of Pingshan County is much more complicated than that of Huolu County. As the name suggests, it gradually becomes gentle from northwest to east, and the main terrain is sub-alpine, middle-mountain, low-mountain, hills and plains.

It is precisely because of this complex terrain that Pingshan County, where the peaks are not tall enough, is very suitable for the rebel army to rest temporarily.

In order to prevent the alertness of Zhending Mansion, they deliberately traveled a certain distance to the middle of Pingshan County.

They came to a small mountain village near the Hutuo River, which was located in a sunny horseshoe-shaped depression.Surrounded by mountains on three sides and water on one side, with Taihang Mountain on the west and Zhili Plain on the east, it is only a hundred miles away from Zhending Mansion, so it is a good place.

If it weren't for the Ming court's strong influence in the Zhili area, Zhang Shun would have wanted to use this place as his base.

The crowd then led the crowd to capture this small mountain village. Zhang Shun asked the locals and found out that the village was named "Baibu Village" because of the lush green cypresses growing on the back mountain.Since the rebel army's operation was quite confidential, they did not harass this small village excessively.

The rebel army rested here for a day, then left this small village with an advantageous geographical location, and continued on their way north.In fact, if everyone adopted a rescue strategy, they should have crossed the Taihang Mountains from Pingshan County to the west at this time, and it would be Wutai County where the second leader "Zijinliang" was besieged.

It's just that everyone marched for several days, and after passing through Lingshou, Xingtang, and Quyang counties, they were supposed to break into Tang County, Baoding Prefecture according to the plan.But Zhang Shun suddenly changed his mind and tried to persuade the "breakthrough general" Huang Lai'er to go to Fuping County in the northwest of Quyang together.

Zhang Shun said to Huang Lai'er: "Since ancient times, when we use troops, we have not considered victory, but have considered defeat first. When our lone army goes deep into the capital, if there is a slight difference, the whole army will be wiped out."

"In my opinion, the land of Tang and Quyang is quite flat, which is not conducive to defense. Fuping is in the northwest of Quyang of Tang, and is closer to the Taihang Mountain. Maerguan, bordering Baoding Mansion on the west, is a battleground for military strategists."

"If I live here, the west will be in the corner of the Erdang family; the east will be Baoding Mansion, and the capital can be seen in the north. Only the officers and soldiers stationed in Daumaguan in the north of this place are not good for us. Why don't we catch him by surprise and take Go down this pass, and then use Fuping as the base, and go north to harass the capital."

"General Chuang" was stunned for a long time after hearing Zhang Shun's words, thinking: I, Huang Lai'er, boast that I am quite good at war, why is this person always overpowering me?Could it be that this person is really a genius?

In fact, this is the gap caused by the limited geographical knowledge of the "Chuangjiang". It turns out that Zhang Shun consulted Zhang Shenyan on the surrounding geography from time to time, and learned that the surrounding area is dangerous and narrow, so he was able to formulate reasonable policies according to the changes in the terrain.

"Chuang Jiang" had no choice but to obey Zhang Shun's plan because he was blind to the surrounding terrain.

Daomaguan is located more than one hundred miles northwest of Tang County, very close to the borders of Fuping County, Quyang County and Tang County.

In order to hit a sure hit, Zhang Shun specially arranged for Li Jiyu to turn himself into a commoner to investigate the situation of the Daomaguan army, while the army came out day and night, gradually approaching Daomaguan.

Originally, Chen Changbing was the most suitable for spying on the military situation.He has been walking darts all year round, like a fish in water, he can eat everywhere.But at this time, Chen Changbing was still in the Xishan camp and did not come with him, so Zhang Shun had no choice but to let Li Jiyu experience it.

Although this Li Jiyu came from a lowly family background, he was quite handy when he made friends with heroes and dealers in the past, and he was most concerned about the investigation.

Since he joined Zhang Shun's command, he has never had a brilliant performance, and he is quite depressed.Now that he finally got an opportunity, Li Jiyu led a few smart and reliable dealers all the way to the northwest.

Although Li Jiyu was ambitious, he was really worried when he thought about the task, and felt that he had no way to start.At night, the crowd had nowhere to live, so they had to find a ruined temple to live in.

As a result, at night, I heard someone knocking on the door.Li Jiyu felt strange, so he ordered the other dealers to put their weapons within reach, and asked one of them to open the door.

The man just opened the door, only to see three people, one old, two strong, pushing a wheelbarrow in.When they saw the crowd, they were quite vigilant. Seeing that Li Jiyu looked like a leader, they nodded and bowed their heads and said, "The three of us are traveling wine merchants. Because we were greedy for the itinerary and missed the accommodation, I hope you don't take offense."

Li Ji met some ordinary visitors, so he ignored them, and said, "It's not easy to go out. This old mountain temple is not opened by my family, so everyone can make do with it for one night, so you're welcome! "

So, everyone was speechless, and each lit a bonfire to rest.Somehow, after coming here for a long time, no one felt sleepy.

The old man smiled and said: "Everyone is so energetic. It's so late at night, and everyone is hungry. I have some peanuts here. If you don't dislike it, why don't you drink some wine to help with these peanuts?" I don't know how to add to the fun?"

When the old man said it, everyone felt hungry and thirsty.It's just that Li Jiyu felt strange, so he said: "We are all doing coolie business, where can we have money with you? If you are hungry, you can eat and drink by yourself, don't worry about me!"

The old man laughed when he heard the words, and said: "Meeting is fate, what money do you want? Since the little old man started business, he just had a different way. If the business fails, make friends. If you have more friends, the mountain road will be easier to walk! Please Don't worry, everyone, I'll take this meal!"

Between the words, the old man bought a few bowls of wine and asked the two young men to send them to Li Jiyu and others.Li Jiyu was very happy when he heard the words, so he reached out to take it and said: "I will also taste the old man's good wine. If the wine is not strong enough, I will say no."

After speaking, Li Jiyu put the wine into his mouth, and just as the wine reached his mouth, Li Jiyu suddenly dropped the bowl, drew out his waist knife, and killed a young man beside him with one blow.

Seeing that Li Jiyu made a move, the dealers drew out their swords one after another without asking why, and chopped off another young man on the spot.

The old man was startled and frightened, and asked in amazement: "You are a group of robbers, I kindly invited you to drink, why did you kill my two children?"

Li Jiyu laughed and said: "Old man, your wine is good, but it's just that you put too much sweat medicine. Li has made friends with heroes from all over the world, and he is quite familiar with similar methods. As long as I pay the tip of my tongue, I will know how this wine is! Now that you have listened, I will send you on your way, just be a sensible ghost."

After speaking, Li Jiyu stepped forward and hacked the old thief to death.Then he said with a smile: "I didn't know how to get away with it, but I didn't expect that someone would bring me a pillow after I fell asleep." The next day, they dressed up as traveling merchants and pushed the wheelbarrow on the road.
