Chapter 39
The three of Chen, Xiao and Zhang became sworn brothers for several days, eating and sleeping together.Zhang Shun's knowledge is mixed, and from time to time he tells the story of Liu Guan and Zhang Yiyi in the Three Kingdoms with them, and analyzes how Guan and Zhang were trained under Liu Bei and finally became the only general in the army.

Not to mention what Xiao Qinhu thought, but Chen Changzhu admired him extremely.He thought to himself: I heard the stories of the Three Kingdoms, and I only said that if you practice martial arts well, you will be the generation of Guan Zhang. Now it seems that there is also a knack for how to fight wars.

So and so, after a short time of calm, something happened.Inexplicably, one of the spies sent by Zhao Lizi disappeared, including the horse he was riding on.

Zhang Shun thought about it, and asked everyone to share their opinions.Immediately, everyone discussed how to punish Zhao Lizi, even Zhao Yutou was not good at covering up his grandson, claiming that he should be punished.Zhang Shun said angrily: "Everything has shortcomings. You are all great talents. If you ask for completeness and blame, how can you use anyone? The most urgent thing is to analyze the pros and cons of this kind, and it's not too late to make up for it!"

Daoist Ma reacted the fastest, and immediately echoed: "My lord's words are very true. In my opinion, the camp should be changed quickly to prevent the news from leaking and being taken advantage of by officers and soldiers."

When everyone heard this, they agreed one after another, and even Chen Jindou suggested that someone should be sent to look for this person, to find out the reality of Zezhou Fucheng.On the contrary, Chen Jingzhi thought more deeply and said: "My lord, in addition to this, the names and hometowns of the soldiers should be recorded, so as to prevent anyone from acting like this again."

Only then was Zhang Shun satisfied, and said: "There should be three measures for this matter. First, Zhao Lizi's discipline is not strict and he has neglected his duties. I order you to send people to Zezhou City. First, let's investigate Zezhou False reality and the movement of officers and soldiers, and secondly, to investigate the cause and fate to see if they have surrendered to the enemy."

"Secondly, Chen Jingzhi is responsible for finding a few literate people among the soldiers, registering the information of the soldiers one by one, stating their names, ages, places of origin, and their ranks, and compiling them into books and delivering them to me. The third is to prepare Daoist Ma is in charge of changing the camp. For the specific location, you can ask Xiao Qinhu. After the matter is fully determined, we will discuss the matter of punishment."

Everyone received the order and acted on their own.That Zhao Lizi was dissatisfied with the big loss this time, so he personally brought a few people to Zezhou to inquire about the news.He wandered around the city without thinking for a long time, but couldn't find the slightest clue. In desperation, he found a teahouse to drink tea.

But I never thought that when I first entered the teahouse, I heard someone talking about the battle between the officers and soldiers and the "West Bandit".Zhao Lizi was very clever, and he was able to talk to Zhao Yutou when he was ferrying back and forth, so he walked up to them, bowed his hands to the three of them, and said, "The three brothers invited me, I am here to buy iron with the master's family. Goods, I heard that the three of you mentioned the 'Sit Thieves' just now, I'm afraid you might miss your schedule and lose your goods, can you tell me in detail, I'll take the tea."

As soon as the three of them heard that there was such a good thing, the older one who was showing off just now answered, "Little brother, please be honest, and I will tell you what I know. I heard from my distant relatives the day before yesterday that the 'Western Thief' They are from the west. They are not Tartars, but rogues, who kill anyone they see and rob them of their wealth. They are very ferocious, and they are not afraid to give in more than the Tartars."

"It is said that a few days ago Qinshui County was taken down and the city was slaughtered. Men were killed, women were raped, blood flowed like rivers, and there was not a single living person in the whole city. My distant relative escaped for a while by hiding among the dead. Then, day and night, I drove [-] to [-] miles, my feet were worn out, and ran to my house, and I was too scared to go out again.”

When Zhao Lizi got the news, he was still staying there, and hurriedly paid for the tea for the three of them, and hurried to the camp.At this time, the construction of the new camp has not yet been completed.When Zhang Shun got the news, he quickly greeted everyone and prepared to lead his subordinates to Qinshui County.

On the contrary, Zhao Yutou was more serious and said: "Master, this news may be false. We hid in the mountains and did not provoke officers and soldiers, but we are not in a hurry. We should send a small team to investigate. If there are rebels Here, it is not too late to lead the team into the occupation after the negotiation is completed first."

Reminded by Zhao Yutou, Chen Jingzhi also added a few words: "It's a long way from here to Qinshui City. If we send a team there, I'm afraid the news won't go well. We just negotiated this time, but we don't know where the rebels hid from the officers and soldiers. It is better to send a small team to investigate first, and the larger team will follow. The distance is ten miles and eight miles, and if there is a situation, we can communicate in time."

When Zhang Shun heard it, he clapped his hands and applauded, isn't this the embryonic form of a spy and a pioneer?Before Zhang Shun and others sent spies, most of them were sent to fixed locations to investigate news trends. Such behaviors such as "not collecting at night" during the march have never occurred, let alone clearing roads when encountering mountains and building bridges when encountering water. Pioneer Battalion.

Therefore, Zhang Shun set out in no hurry and reorganized the army.Let Ma Daochang still lead the supply battalion of more than [-] people, with Chen Jindou as his deputy.Zhao Lizi led [-] people as a vanguard battalion and scouts to scout for information and open the way to meet the enemy.Zhang Sanbai led [-] people as the front army, Zhang Wuhao and Wukong led [-] people as the central army, and Chen Changzhu led [-] people as the rear army.Liu Yinggui still leads a hundred people as military judges, while Chen Jingzhi selects a dozen or so clever and literate people as confidential writing to assist left and right.Xiao Qinhu was also relieved of his hard labor punishment. Although he was not a subject and could not lead the team, he followed Chen Changliang first to act cheaply.

In this way, until the next day, everyone buried the pot to cook, got up early and marched towards Qinshui.Qinshui County is in the northwest, and everyone is still near Tianjingguan.Starting from this point, first pass through Yangcheng County in the east, and then cross the Jishui to the northwest, which is Qinshui.This Jishui is what later generations called Qinshui River. For convenience, we continue to call it Qinshui.

The mountains in Yangcheng County are undulating, with strange peaks, ravines and rivers.The terrain slopes from southwest to northeast, high in the north and south and low in the middle.It was quite inconvenient for Zhang Shun's troops to march.So when they reached Qinshui westward, they went up along Qinshui to look for opportunities to cross the river.

At this time, it happened that Zhao Lizi sent someone to report.It turns out that there is a town about ten miles upstream, which is the most prosperous.The style of writing here is at its peak, and merchants come forth in large numbers. It is a first-class geomantic treasure land, and this is Runcheng Town.

Surrounded by four mountains and surrounded by three rivers, it is an important traffic route.It was called "Shaocheng" and "Small City" in ancient times, also known as Tieye Town. It was renamed Runcheng Town in the [-]th year of Jiajing.Just by hearing its name, one knows that this time has three characteristics.

The first is the city, which means that although it is not a county seat, there is a city built here, which is not easy to conquer;

 what! ! !The author can't take it anymore, the outline that was prepared, suddenly found that something unexpected happened to the protagonist on the way, so he re-searched for a long time for historical materials, and planned to change the outline a little, so this chapter was updated for three hours, speechless up.In addition, thanks to the book friend "20190419182034139" for the reward
