Start with the humble bridegroom

Chapter 197
The secret cave under the original Cai family mansion is not big. As for why there is a woman surnamed Chen hidden in it, Zhang Zhe didn't pay much attention to it, and just handed her over to Yue Tang.

In Xiushan, the beggars in Youying, who had eaten well, slept well, and lived well, and no one dared to mess with them, were very resistant to going on business trips in winter.

Among them, the one who complained the most was their conductor, Zhang Xinzhi.

Others complained a few times, but he could complain more than a dozen, which brought him closer to the Youying folk again.

Zhang Zhe also deliberately asked Yue Tang to keep asking people to urge him to do it for the folks to see.

On the second day after the sun came out, Zhang Zhecai "reluctantly" drove Youying Minzhuang on the road.

He purposely took a break after walking ten miles, and the villagers were very happy at first.But after experiencing the cold wind in the field and the not warm sun at all, several leaders suggested that Zhang Zhe might as well go to Sutou all at once.Resting in the fields in the cold winter months is really not humanly capable.

On the first day, he only walked [-] miles, but the whole battalion knew Zhang Zhe's "negative" attitude.

Even some people who were full of complaints before going out felt troubled by their command, and the opinions of the former beggars began to quickly unify: it is better to finish the task quickly and return to Xiushan to live.

On the second day after going out, it was sunny again, Youying walked forty miles in one breath, and arrived at Wangzhuangji when it was dark.

"Why are you walking so fast?" Zhang Zhe's complaint made several leading Min Zhuang look at each other and smile.

Wangzhuangji was a transit point for the logistics of the besieging Zhaoyang army. According to the military order, the Youying had to bring some damaged equipment with them when they returned to Jiangbei.

Forty official tickets were secretly stuffed into the official's hand. The man looked down and pointed to seven or eight piles of damaged battle clothes, flags, gongs and drums calmly: "Xunche Army Right Battalion, Operation These things go back, come, draw a bet!"

These things are the lightest, and 500 people can share less than two catties per person.The officials here clearly mark the price, and it is true that the old and the old are not deceiving.

Zhang Zhe "renovated" in Wangzhuangji for a day, and on the second day, he even wanted to stay for a day, but the villagers were afraid of rain and snow on the road, so they urged him to continue on the road while the sun was shining.

On the sixth day of February, that is, the fifth morning after Youying came out of Xiushan, the Youying folks arrived at a place thirty miles away from Jiangbei Yingsai, the last stop in Jiangbei.

The Jiangbei camp was built by Zheng Jun when he landed in Jiangbei, and now 3000 people are stationed here.

The appearance of the Youying Minzhuang marching was horrible. 500 people scattered for two or three miles, and there was no formation at all.

Zhang Zhe was very cautious. He picked seven or eight of the fastest and smartest people from Minzhuang and placed them [-] miles ahead of the team, which was [-] miles more than the [-] miles of scouts in the general army.

After all, this is still the enemy's border.

There was only the last section of the road in Jiangbei, but Zhang Zhe's thoughts had already drifted across the river.

There was a sudden confusion ahead, and a few detectives who had regained their Hanako attire ran over as if flying over.

"Command~~! The big thing is not good, Wu Jun is attacking the Jiangbei camp! We can't move forward."

A large group of Minzhuang hurriedly looked at Zhang Zhe.

When Zhang Zhe heard the return, a string was stretched in his heart.

It's a pity that these people are not professional spies, and they can't find out why they are the opponent's banner or the number of enemy troops.

However, Zhang Zhe could hear something from the descriptions of these people.

Most of these Wu troops have light armor, bows and arrows, and sharp knives. There are very few heavy weapons, and more importantly, there are no horse troops!
Zhang Zhe raised his head and looked at the sky. According to the descriptions of these beggars, the enemy should be formed by the temporary landing of Wu Jun's navy. They raided the Jiangbei camp around midnight, and now a small half of the camp has fallen into the opponent's hands. .

Chen Shanyao!
Zhang Zhe immediately thought of this person, the most feared opponent of Zheng Jun.

He picked up a few stones in the ground and laid them out, which were Pengxiang Ferry, the supply line on the river, Zhao Gongju's fleet, and the Jiangbei Camp.

Zhang Zhe stared at these stones for a few times, and made a judgment in his heart.

On the big river, Zhao Gongju's fleet guarded, and the focus of the guards was Pengxiang Ferry and the river route.Now the strength of the Wu army's navy is not dominant. If Chen Shanyao really came to commit the crime, he would definitely not choose to land near the Jiangbei camp.This Wu army should have landed quietly somewhere downstream, and then came over and raided the Jiangbei camp from the land.

Fortunately, the level of the generals sent by the emperor to the Jiangbei camp was still above the standard, and they were not defeated by Chen Shanyao in one go, and they lasted from early morning to early morning.

Zhang Zhe judged that if Chen Shanyao could not take down the Jiangbei camp within two hours, he had to retreat. Otherwise, when Zhao Gongju reacted, he only needed to drive the fleet to the shore of the Jiangbei camp, and the Wu army would be in a dilemma. .

Chen Shanyao wouldn't have too many troops, otherwise he would have taken the Jiangbei camp long ago.

Moreover, he should be heading for the grain in Jiangbei Yingsai.

Zhang Zhe's thoughts were running fast.

In this way, if the Youying stopped advancing now, there would be no danger.Even if the Jiangbei camp was finally captured by Chen Shanyao, he probably wouldn't be able to send any soldiers to pursue him.

After inferring the general situation, Zhang Zhe calmed down a little.

But he, who was in a hurry to return to Jiangling, was one of the 1 people who didn't want the Jiangbei camp to be taken by Chen Shanyao.

His toes swiped a few times between several stones, and suddenly he drew a diagonal line and landed in an unknown area.

"Chen Shanyao's seven large ships must be by his side, but there is only one place on the river bank of nearly a hundred miles that is suitable for the large ships to land!"

Zhang Zhe looked intently at that area, which was the ruins of the Jimingwa water village that was burned down by the emperor!

It was only about ten miles away from Youying's current location.

Otherwise, scare that Chen Shanyao?

Zhang Zhe leveled a few stones with the soles of his feet, and jumped into the carriage.

At this time, the folks all looked very flustered, and many of them looked back at the way they came from time to time, as if they were about to run away.

"Heroes and brothers!" Zhang Zhe shouted, pointing to the front, "There is a war going on ahead, we must not go! Right?!"

Hearing what the commander said, all the minzhuang breathed a sigh of relief, and replied sparsely.

"That's true!"

"The commander is right!"

Zhang Zhe looked distressed again: "But Wu Jun has already discovered us, but he doesn't have the energy to take care of us now. We have to stay as far away as possible. What do you think?"

"We only follow orders!"

"Yes, follow the command, let's go!"

But Zhang Zhe clapped his hands helplessly: "But we all carry military orders on our bodies, we can only move forward and not retreat, otherwise it will be a word of beheading!"

Zhang Zhe was actually trying to scare the folks. Sure enough, there was an uproar among the crowd. Some people had sneaked to the outer edge of the crowd, and they were planning to run away.

They are homeless refugees and beggars, and it is instinctive to disperse.

"So I decided," Zhang Zhe pointed to the northwest direction, "the military order only requires us to go to the north of the river, so we should go northwest instead and avoid this place. Anyway, it is not a violation of the order to reach the river."

All the people were happy and promised loudly, thinking to themselves: I still have an idea to command this great talent.

Zhang Zhe ordered them again.

"Put all the dilapidated flags on your back on the spears, and the crowd will disperse, MD, make a noise, let the people of Wu think that we are large and powerful, and dare not attack us. Be quick, don't let The people of Wu thought we were rotten persimmons, and sent troops to take our heads at will."

The folks obediently turned to the small road in the northwest direction one after another, and the worn-out flags were picked up by spears, waved wildly, and ran towards the northwest direction.

How could they care about their physical strength in escaping for their lives.

Zhang Zhe jumped out of the carriage, and a cloud of dust rose from the ground that had been exposed to the sun for several days.

He called little Zhao Ping: "Lead someone to move the branches, sweep the ground, and raise the dust."

The carriage turned around, Zhang Zhe jumped into the carriage again, and ordered the driver to follow the group immediately.

The folks from the right battalion ran towards the northwest in twos and threes, and some of them tied a rope to a branch behind them, causing the dust to fly.

If you look at it from a distance, you can see hundreds of flags unfurled, and the "military army" marching for more than two miles is rushing from the western path to the northwest at high speed.

There is the ruins of Jimingwa Water Village.
