Chapter 151
Two days north of Pegasus Village, you will encounter a large lake in the border of Jiangzhou.

This big lake is called Qinghu, which blocks the road to the east.

After marching to the west and north, you will start to encounter some continuous small mountains.

The main peaks of these small mountains are not high, but they also make the road rough and difficult.

When it rains in summer, the road becomes more muddy.

Blocked the advance route of the rebel army.

Fortunately, the rebel army of 600 people has sufficient supplies.

All the way to the north, the march was slow.

"My lord, the border city of Jiangzhou is ahead, climb the city."

Zhang Ke came back from a distance on his horse, led a group of scouts, and flew wildly on the muddy ground.

Countless fine dirt was splashed.

Ascending the city, Cao Su knew about the city.

This city is close to the Lingzhou Mountains and is an important commercial city.

However, due to the underdeveloped agriculture in the mountainous areas, the population has always been relatively sparse.

Compared with Pingcheng, a city standing on the wilderness, Dengcheng is smaller, so it is often ignored by Jiangzhou, and even the Wanping Army has no intention of attacking this city.

But this city is very important, and it is the only way for Lingzhou to go south.

And built in the canyons under the mountains on both sides.

There are high mountains on the left and right, and the walls are high and thick.

It can be said that it is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

After the Wanping Army poisoned Jiangzhou, many people in Jiangzhou fled to Dengcheng.

At this moment, the city is full of people, and it is a little more lively.

After Cao Su led his army close to Dengcheng, Dengcheng's conscientious scouts found Cao Su's trace.

Then immediately go back to the city and report to the city lord for a decision.

Cao Su didn't care either, they were all officers and soldiers of the imperial court, so why not let them pass?

The rebellious army marched slowly all the way to the bottom of Dengcheng.

Unexpectedly, the gate of Dengcheng was closed tightly, with a negative attitude of "closed today".

Ok?
Cao Su snorted lightly, and pinched the horse's belly.

The war horse "Da Da Da Da" under his seat walked to the gate of the tower, and then he looked up, and saw the entire government army in the city, bending their bows and setting arrows nervously, as if they were about to shoot at any time.

"Who is under the city, why did you violate my border?"

On the tower, a tall man wearing iron armor and a yellow hood appeared, he asked loudly, his eyes showed vigilance.

Boundary violation?
Cao Su frowned. This political signal seemed unusual.

He replied loudly: "My lord, I am Cao Su, Captain of the Jiangzhou Dispute Military Academy. The boundary you mentioned is not considered a crime. We are both officers and soldiers of the imperial court, and we are just passing through here."

Cao Su's words made sense, and the tense Fujun upstairs calmed down after hearing this.

Unexpectedly, the man with the yellow hood turned up his volume, and said with a sneer, "How do you prove that you are the rebellious army Cao Su? I have heard that the rebellious army has crossed the Qingluo River to fight the Wanping army, and now it appears in the Before we ascend the city, can you not fly?"

"Who are you guys? Don't try to get away with it!"

Cao Su: ...

The guy asked him a philosophical question, how do I prove I am myself?
He said patiently: "My lord, you want to see my identity certificate. You can go down to the city to take a look. I have a letter of appointment as a captain, and the seal of Jiangning Mansion Master Wei Tao himself!"

With Cao Su's temperament, it's already a shame to talk about it for so long.

"It's a joke, you just let me go down?"

"Your identities are unknown. You are supposed to be responsible for defending the city. How can you take risks easily? You still want to lure me to the city. Do you really think I don't know about your conspiracy?"

"Sensible, hurry up and hand in the appointment letter, don't dawdle!"

The man with the yellow head shouted loudly on the tower.

Cao Su's face turned cold.

Luo Yi and Zhang Ke stepped forward: "My lord, what should I do?"

Cao Su snorted coldly, turned and left the city.

What can be done?Is it possible to give a copy?
The other side made it clear that they didn't want him to enter the city.

This made Cao Su feel murderous in his heart.

"Go, don't worry about these."

Cao Su quickly left the city, and the soldiers of the rebellious army had to follow Cao Su first.

On the tower, watching Cao Su and others leave.

The man with the yellow head showed a smug smile.

The sergeant beside him was a little flustered: "My lord, that is Cao Su, the lieutenant of the rebellious military academy, can we do this?"

"Bastard!"

The man with the yellow head immediately yelled: "What rebellious army? This is obviously a gang of thugs. Didn't you see how fierce the leader was just now? Why did our officers and soldiers have such a murderous person?"

After being reprimanded, the sergeant bowed his hands in embarrassment and retreated.

In the distance, the figure of the rebellious army gradually disappeared on the official road like a mountain road, as if they were really looking for a new road.

"Everyone cheer up, these few days, the gates of the city are under my control, without my token, no one is allowed to enter or leave at will!"

The man in yellow yelled loudly when he saw the rebellious army leave.

Afterwards, the man with the yellow head left the tower.

Dengcheng is a small city with a small area, and it can even be said to be an important checkpoint.

There is no distinction between the inside and the outside of the city, and it takes only a cup of tea to walk from the city tower to the city lord's mansion.

When the guards of the City Lord's Mansion saw General Huang Pei, they hurriedly bowed to avoid him.

The man with the yellow head went unimpeded and walked into the city lord's mansion.

At this time, the gazebo in the courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion.

A middle-aged man dressed as a scribe is playing chess with his pieces.

Strangely, there was no one in front of him.

He holds both black and white pieces.

The man with the yellow head walked up to him, saluted respectfully, and said: "My lord, the rebellious army has left."

"Snapped!"

As soon as the words fell, the city lord took the white chess and placed the pieces on the chessboard.

He opened his mouth with a gentle and elegant voice: "Good job."

Hearing the praise, the man with the yellow head seemed a little excited.

But in fact, he was also at a loss, and he never understood why the city lord had to block the way of the rebellious army, while others were obviously just passing by!
"You must be wondering why I stopped Cao Su."

The middle-aged literati smiled, thought for a while, and a sunspot fell on the chessboard.

The man with the yellow head showed a foolish smile: "My lord must have a reason for making such an arrangement. Although my subordinates don't understand it, they also know that as long as they do it like this, it will be fine."

When the scribe heard this, he couldn't help laughing, shook his head and said: "You are big, you have a big heart, and you are as wise as a fool."

The man with the yellow head scratched his head, but didn't ask any further questions.

The scribe then said: "Do you know where the rebellious army is going to go to the city?"

The man with the yellow pendant replied: "It must be Lingzhou in the north!"

There is no doubt that there is only one road here, and going north to Lingzhou is the only choice for the rebel army.

"Yes, that's right, this remnant of the rebel army is going north to Lingzhou!"

"Where is Lingzhou?"

"The place where the three sects are in charge is beyond disputes. The rebellious army fought fiercely with the Wanping army in Jiangzhou, Jiangning Mansion, and Pingcheng. The situation is like fire and water."

"If the rebellious army enters Lingzhou, it means that the flames of war have reached Lingzhou, and Lingzhou will no longer be able to maintain its unique identity detached from everything. Where will the three sects go?"

"I could have sat on Diaoyutai, but my nerves were accidentally disturbed. This is the "General". Jiangzhou has changed hands, and the seal of Jiangning Mansion is useless to me. The state is the target we should follow."

The words of the middle-aged scribe clearly dissected the powerful relationship.

To put it bluntly, he understands that the reason why Dengcheng is still standing firmly in front of Lingzhou like a barrier is precisely because of Lingzhou's support.

If he can't even handle these small things well, and can't solve Lingzhou's troubles, how can he follow Lingzhou in the future?
Middle-aged scribes represent another special group in the troubled times, that is, the "opportunists". "Crazy kneeling and licking.

It is not exactly the same as the warlord power that Cao Su thought, but there is already a hint of separatism.

The two looked at each other and smiled, ascending the city was easy to defend but difficult to attack, even Cao Su, who was famous in Pingcheng, was helpless.

It gave them a special pleasure to deflate the famous generals of Pingcheng.

……

A few miles away, the Dengcheng government army spies closely monitored the retreating rebel army.

The flag of the rebellious army fluttered in the wind, and a huge "Cao" character was faintly visible.

Cao Su walked in the front, his sharp eyes shot at the grass on the side of the road.

The sergeant of the Dengcheng Mansion Army who was ambushing in the grass panicked, and immediately buried his head in the ground in fright, not even daring to take a breath.

I don't know how long it took.

The spy raised his head, and more than half of the rebellious army passed by, but the leader Cao Su was nowhere to be seen.

"It's terrifying, it seems to be stronger than General Qian." The spies are all people with keen senses in the army, and he subconsciously compared the breath strength of Cao Su and Qian Darong, the guard who ascended the city.

Fortunately, there was no fight with the rebellious army. Otherwise, if Cao Su was alone, would anyone stop him from ascending the city?
He observed for a while, and found that the rebellious army had retreated more than ten miles without haste, so he relaxed.

"The crisis is over."

The spies showed joy, shrank their heads back into the grass, and prepared to return to the city to report.
