Chapter 93 Smell
Yang Zheng expected that Jiang Faye's life would not be easy, he had already offended Midang and Ehe in Baishigu that day.

It's just that I didn't expect that Erhe Shaoge would come to the door so soon.

However, Mingyue Gorge is located in the southwestern Conghualing area, which belongs to the east foot of Jishi Mountain and the west side of Min Mountain, just sandwiched between Yesujiang and Midang forces.

With the current strength of the troops, it is no problem to deal with Russia and burn weapons, but it is a bit stretched to deal with Shang Midang and Ye Sujiang.

After thinking for a while, I decided to save him.

First of all, Jiang Faye is his father-in-law and elder brother, these two layers of relationship are here, it cannot be saved.

Secondly, Jiang Faye is an enlightened person among the Qiang people, and he also has some prestige among the Qiang people. If he wants to manage the Qiang people, he must have a right-hand man and a forward.

After figuring it out, Yang Zheng wrote a letter to Xia Houba, bluntly saying that Jiang Faye was besieged by the Qiang people and he went to mediate.

It's definitely not enough to rely on lip service to mediate. You have to bring a knife with you when you do anything these days.

With more than 3000 regular troops in hand, Yang Zheng brought a battalion of one thousand Qiang and one battalion of Qiang, and left 800 people for Zhou Yu to defend the city.

The only armor and weapons were taken away by Yang Zheng.

What is not enough can only be replaced by collected miscellaneous weapons.

Axes, hatchets, kitchen knives, broken swords, mallets...all kinds of things.

Metals are precious in this day and age.

Yang Zheng looked at his subordinates, feeling a little out of place.

If the expansion is too fast, the short board will come.

Some time ago, Yang Zheng had a little bit of ambition. Seeing the military appearance today, it is a bit horrible. Not to mention the armor, some Qiang soldiers even have patchwork clothes...

There are only six hundred soldiers and more than a hundred veterans of the Wuwei battalion.

Fatty Feng said to provide the equipment, but he disappeared in a flash, and there was no news.

Yang Zheng felt that he was not going out to fight, but was leading a group of beggars to beg for food...

After thinking about it, isn't it just to beg for food from Ehe?

If he doesn't give it, then the white knife goes in and the red knife goes out.

The wind and snow outside the city had already stopped, but the cold wind remained.

The ice on the Yellow River can cross people.

I haven't seen each other for more than a month, but the Xihe camp is already in good shape, with antlers, towers, and bunkers, one after another, and hundreds of Qiang soldiers training with wooden spears, all in good spirits.

"Ehe Shaoge has always been cunning, the general must be careful in this trip." Zhang Te reminded.

Yang Zheng's heart twitched, he was thinking about how to burn fire, it's hard to say that he didn't think about himself.

This person is not an ordinary Qiang chieftain, and has a close relationship with the Qiang king. Yang Zheng has already learned about his chicken thieves.

Ordinarily, this guy knew the relationship between Jiang Faye and himself, and dared to do it, so there was inevitably something different in it.

The great man said that the enemy can be despised strategically, but must be taken seriously tactically.

During this period of time, the Qiang people were migrating and the bandits were suppressed, which must have alarmed Russia.

I am an expedition of labor teachers, while the enemy is waiting for labor at ease.

The right time, place and people are in his hands.

"Could it be that Erhe wanted to make money from me, and deliberately sent Jiang A Dao to ask for help?" Yang Zheng expressed his guess.

Zhang Te frowned, "Mingyue Gorge has a complex terrain, and ambushes can be hidden everywhere. The Qiang people always hold grudges. It is a good thing for the general to destroy Russia twice. It is reasonable for him to come to revenge."

Yang Zheng ordered people to call Jiang A Dao, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy who broke through the enemy's siege unscathed, which was a bit unreasonable.

And Jiang A'dao was not born a fierce man.

"How did you break out?"

Jiang A'dao rubbed his fangs and claws, "He rushed out."

"You rushed out alone?"

These words seemed to touch his heartache, his eyes were clouded with water, "Daddy chose the 20 bravest people to protect me... Let me find you... He, they all died on the road..."

Yang Zheng and Zhang Te looked at each other, probably already knowing what happened.

The Wilderness Department was originally a small tribe, and there were only about a thousand warriors in the tribe.

And Ehe Shaoge is a big tribe, so there is no reason why they can't attack Mingyue Gorge for such a long time.

"I beg the general to save daddy quickly." Jiang A'dao burst into tears.

"Man, why are you crying!" Yang Zheng's expression darkened.

Jiang A'dao's crying stopped abruptly.

"You are also a man now, men bleed but don't shed tears." Yang Zheng patted him on the shoulder.

"Know yourself and know the enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles. My subordinates led a hundred scouts to investigate." Zhang Te volunteered.

The terrain of Mingyue Gorge is complicated, with a world of ice and snow, and Erhe Shaoge is a local snake, so it is not that easy to find out the ambush.

It is not a wise choice to hide and seek in the ice and snow.

In view of the special geographical location of Mingyue Gorge, it is better to fight quickly. If it disturbs Ye Sujiang or attracts confusion, it will not be able to eat and walk away.

The scouts are the elite of the army, mostly veterans of the Wuwei battalion and Qiang warriors.

Losing one would be a huge loss to Yang Zheng now.

"No, I will lead six hundred soldiers and one hundred personal soldiers to the front, and your two thousand troops will be behind. If someone attacks me, you will be behind."

"General, as the chief general, how can he take risks, and his subordinates should lead the seven hundred Qiang soldiers in front!"

Yang Zheng laughed, "Could it be that Zichan looks down on someone? That day in Luogu, the Shu army was besieged heavily, with arrows like flying locusts and knives like heavy mountains. Didn't we fight our way out? All six hundred soldiers were armored and armed. Holding a sword and shield, I have a black light armor and a Chinese sword, so what can Erhe Shaoge do to me? Besides, if Erhe Shaoge can't see me, will he attack easily? If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch a tiger's cub!"

Seeing that what Yang Zheng said was reasonable and quite firm, Zhang Te stopped arguing, and clasped his fists together and said, "General, be careful."

"It's okay!"

If you can't beat Jiang Wei, can you still beat Ehe Shaoge?
The plan was decided, so Yang Zheng led [-] soldiers and [-] soldiers in front, and raised a banner of "Wei Western Captain Yang" in the formation.

Zhang Te made all the Qiang people from the Xihe camp behind him.

The flag is made of the only rags, and the characters are written in sheep's blood, crooked and nondescript.

With Yang Zheng's current level, he is not qualified to buy a dental flag.

According to the Cao Wei military system, only miscellaneous generals are eligible to wave the flag.

But in order to attract Erhe to burn fire, he had to do this.

The further south you go, the more rugged the terrain is. Ice, snow, mountains and rocks block the road, and the horses are no longer able to move. Yang Zheng can only abandon the horses.

The benefits of rigorous training were manifested at this time. The army, wearing armor and carrying swords and shields, walked for more than 20 miles on the rugged mountain road, without blushing or panting.

In the northwest, it gets dark earlier.

The whole day was calm, and I saw that I found a shelter from the wind and set up camp.

After chewing the cold and hard dry food, the soldiers fell asleep without leaving their bodies.

In ancient wars, mastering geography and geographical advantages basically won half of the victory, and many roads were not walked by humans at all.

The barren mountains and wild ridges are full of the desolation of the ancient times.

The mournful howling of wolves and the howling of wind lasted almost all night.

On the second day, as it gradually deepened, the enemy's scouts were looming around.

Yang Zheng had no choice but to be extremely careful. Every time he walked five miles, he asked the soldiers to rest for half an hour to maintain their strength in case of accidents.

The flag fluttered in the wind.

Until approaching Mingyue Gorge, Erhe Shaoge still did not appear.

Yang Zheng was a little anxious and uneasy.

I took off my pants, and the other party always looked like a chaste and strong woman avoiding him, which was not easy to handle.
