Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1159
The Xiongcheng City of Tongguan stands on the top of the plateau, and there is a natural deep ditch at the bottom, which makes the city even more magnificent. trembling.

The Yuanshangguan City is not the whole of Tongguan's heavy defense. There are twelve garrison cities in the deep ditch under the Yuanxia. These garrison cities are separated by three to five miles. , Each took the beacon fire as an excuse to defend a long ditch at the bottom of the plateau extremely tightly.The upper and lower pass cities are interdependent, forming the entire Tongguan defense line.

The deep ditch under Tongguan is locally called Tiangou or Tonggou, which have different names depending on the rural environment.However, after Wang Shi occupied this place and set up defenses, this deep ditch has a unified name called Forbidden Ditch, which means that living people are forbidden to pass through, and anyone who trespasses will be killed without mercy.

Corresponding from Tongguan to the lower west is Hongnong, known as the gateway of Qinchuan. Earlier, King Shisheng of East Jiezhao stationed troops here to confront the former king of Tongguan.Therefore, among the mountains and forests below Tongguan, there are still many remnants of the camps erected by the Shisheng army.

Although Shi Sheng was defeated and fled north, Master Wang did not go down to station. He only occasionally sent some rangers to cross the forbidden ditch, sweep and patrol the plains, clean up the bandits in the area and arm the local bandits.

After Shi Sheng fled, Master Wang did not take advantage of the trend to occupy Hongnong. Jie Zhao Guojing’s troops, who had been relying on each other with Shi Sheng, were also afraid of the strength of Master Wang. They also did not send troops to occupy Hongnong. Settle down.

So right now, Hongnong can be said to be an area with relatively little influence, but this does not mean that the countryside is completely free of control.There are still many docks standing between the countryside and the countryside in the county, and they have become the masters of this place for the time being.

The components of these dock walls are also extremely complex, some are local villagers living for a long time, and some are exiles who were coerced from all over Kansai.When Shi Sheng was entrenched here, he did not eradicate all these dock walls, because the Jiehu troops under his command did not produce themselves, and needed to rely on the production of these dock walls to provide supplies for his troops.

Although these dock walls also have certain armed forces, they are not enough to protect themselves. In order to ensure their survival, they can only lie under the majesty of the rebellious army.

However, when Shi Sheng’s army retreated, these long-oppressed dock walls were able to expand. In the troubled times, only strong soldiers and horses can be relied on. After the pressure of survival and safety was gone, these dock walls also seized this time to expand themselves. .

Therefore, although there is no danger of a large army confrontation, the rural environment has not calmed down because of this, and various rural fights have become more intense.Different from the army passing through the border and not knowing the rural conditions, these docks have existed in the countryside for a long time, and they also know the situation and conditions of the countryside in detail.When they lost their scruples and each was strong and weak, the rural fights they set off almost spread to all parts of the country.Some grow because of this, and some die because of it.

In this round of upsurge of village fighting, many village tribes who were originally hidden in the mountains and fields were all wiped out, so that there were no more people in the county, and the villagers could do whatever they wanted, whether they wanted to or not. He had to rely on these Xiangzong and Wubi to save his life.

If there is no change in external pressure, this kind of rural struggle in the county will probably continue until the largest force appears in the rural environment and re-establishes its order in the rural environment.

However, although these Wubi masters are busy fighting in the village, it does not mean that they are completely ignorant of the surrounding situation, especially they are extremely concerned about the movements of the master Wang above Tongguan.

Forbidden Ditch is heavily guarded, surrounded by solid walls and clear fields, especially in late autumn and winter, when the grass and trees in the mountains are withered and there is little shelter, it is even more difficult to get close to peek.However, Wang Shidong's movement is related to the safety of his family and life, and these Wubi people dare not ignore it, so they recruited warriors with a lot of money to sneak in and watch.

Feng Shan is one of the scouts recruited by the reward. He is full of weathered and old, and he can't tell how old he is, but every time he sees some village women in scantily-clothed clothes, he feels evil in his heart. The fire is still surging, and I feel that I have a strong heart and a strong heart. It can be seen that the actual age is far from what it seems on the surface.

Naturally, a soldier in the countryside has no manners to speak of. Feng Shan looks like a Jin man, but he has a withered yellow beard and hair.To be honest, even he himself can't tell whether he is from Jin or Hu. He has lived in a military labor camp since he was sensible, and when he has a little strength, he has to support himself by labor. Also worked hard.

There are many bastards like him who can't tell their backgrounds, and they are also the most miserable group of people in Guanzhong. The Hu people don't regard them as the same kind, and the Jin people don't get close to them.

Although his life experience can be described as sad, Feng Shan has no time to be sad about it. Everything he heard, seen, and seen told him that as long as he has a lot of courage, he can survive.

It seems that the king he followed before disappeared overnight, and Feng Shan did not hesitate because of this. He and a few companions were quickly recruited by a Wubi household, and he turned into a brave leader of the village.As long as he can get a bite to eat, he doesn't care who he serves.

On a cold day, the wind whimpered, and Feng Shan and the others wanted to approach the forbidden ditch to garrison the city, but they could only do so during the darkest time before dawn.The whole body is covered with hemp felt, and a layer of mud is applied on the outside of the hemp felt to cover up body odor, so as to avoid being detected by the vicious dogs in the city.

Lie on the cold and hard ground and crawl all the way, sometimes even crawling for several miles like this. When they reach a suitable position for concealment, they dig a hole with a wooden pick in their hands, and the person falls down after getting in.When it was daytime, the mud on his body had already formed a thick layer of frost, and it was clear that he was on the ground, so he had completed his lurking.

For the entire day after that, they would lie there motionless, spying on all the movements in the garrison city.Once there is any commotion in it and it is noticed, it will be dead on the spot.

Such a deadly task cannot be undertaken by ordinary people.Therefore, anyone who can do it is the most valued talent in Wubi.Relying on such tenacious scouting skills, Feng Shan has changed several Wubi. Some of the masters he followed were beaten to death by the village, and some fled. On the contrary, he relied on these skills to receive more courtesy, Had a good time.

Lurking this day, Feng Shan found that there were obvious signs of increasing troops in the garrison city, and the ordnance erected on the top of the city had obviously become more powerful.

This day was really difficult, because the garrison city has strengthened the patrolling around, and even a wanderer stepped directly outside Feng Shan's hiding place. Although Feng Shan has many dangerous experiences, he also swallowed a mouthful of mud It was a good chance not to exclaim out loud.

Due to the nervous sweating, his physical strength and body temperature were lost rapidly. At night, the square inch of Feng Shan's lying area was soaked with sweat and turned into mud, and he almost fainted in the mud.

After the surrounding light completely faded and there was no danger of being discovered by the naked eye, Feng Shan carefully took out the dry biscuits tied under his armpit, chewed and swallowed them like an old cow chewing his cud, and his limbs and torso stretched and contracted rhythmically. It took a while for the body to gradually regain consciousness and strength.

While doing this, Feng Shan was still watching the movement of the guard city, and at the same time, his excitement could not be concealed between his brows and eyes.He sneaked around many times and knew a lot about the king's master in the city. The treatment of those soldiers, whether it was weapons or supplies, was generous beyond his imagination.

"If you can get into it, you can be regarded as living up to your courage..."

This thought flashed through his mind, and Feng Shan couldn't help but smile wryly.He has a wealth of experience in various places, and he knows that the more elite the army is, the stricter the selection of soldiers will be.Like him, a bastard with who his biological parents are, he doesn't even have to try to know that he is not destined for it.

You must know that even those Wubi masters treat him with compliments on the surface, but they also look down on him in their hearts, let alone introduce him as a cronies.

As the sky was getting darker and darker, Feng Shan retreated slowly, preparing to distance himself before removing all the camouflage on his body and retreating lightly.The layout of these Guancheng masters seen today is obviously different, and their strength has been increased several times. What is the meaning?

"who?"

In the thick night, there was a loud shout, followed by ferocious dog barking. After hearing these sounds, Feng Shan was already so frightened that his limbs were so cold that he could hardly move.Just when he thought he was going to die here, he heard screams begging for mercy from the other direction, and then he realized that it was someone else who exposed him, not him.

Feng Shan didn't dare to neglect any more, he crawled backwards with his hands and feet in a very weird posture, and after a certain distance, he tore off the hemp felt on his body, and fled westward with his waist down.

Running all the way, until the sky was bright, Feng Shan fell headlong into the weeds among the gullies and ridges to take a breath, and the cold breath of the morning poured into his chest, and then he regained his life emotionally .

Resting in the wild for a while, by the way, use your fingers to dig out a few weed roots buried deep in the soil and stuff them into your mouth for a little food.Afterwards, Feng Shancai continued to travel in the field cautiously, and finally returned to Wubi where he was temporarily living in the morning.

The Wubi is located in a river bend, and the temporary fence has enclosed the surrounding wild land. Several watch towers are separated from the surrounding area, which may be somewhat intimidating to ordinary villagers, but to Feng Shan This kind of desperado, especially after seeing Tongguan's iron-like defense, this level of defense is simply a joke.

Seeing Feng Shan staggering back, a group of brave men came out from inside the fence to welcome him in respectfully.Before Feng Shan opened his mouth to ask for it, all kinds of rice and noodle dishes, especially the deep-simmered mutton soup, were served.

Feng Shan was on the run for the day, so naturally he would not be polite at this moment. When he started to eat, he heard the sound of other village braves swallowing their saliva, and couldn't help laughing secretly in his heart. Naturally, the food supply in the dock wall would not be so abundant. It was a privilege that only a desperado like him could enjoy.As for the other soldiers, being able to eat two meals is considered an excellent treatment, let alone expecting delicious meat soup.

It's just that Feng Shan's mood is inevitably depressed when he thinks of the enhanced defense he saw in Tongguan, not to mention how many times he can enjoy this kind of meal.After eating until he burped, Feng Shan stood up and wiped off the greasy corners of his mouth, and said in a deep voice, "Quickly lead me to see the Lord, I have an important military report."

"The lord is currently meeting with distinguished guests, please wait for a moment."

The leader of Xiangyong came over and said in a deep voice.

"What kind of distinguished guest? I have an important military situation here!"

Hearing what the leader said, Feng Shan felt that the information he bought with his life was underestimated, so he frowned and said.

"What kind of distinguished guest? That's Hongnong Yang... Do you know Hongnong Yang?"

The leader smiled after hearing the words, his face was full of pride, and he wanted to brag a few words, but he didn't know exactly what the Hongnong Yang's strangeness was, so he said rather despondently: "Forget it, you don't know even if you tell me. In short, the Yang family of Hongnong is the eldest family in our county. His family members are like stars in the sky, which can be seen by ordinary people but difficult to approach... Sigh, come with me first, the master will definitely see you later. "
