Martial Arts: Start with 100,000 Xiliang Cavalry

Chapter 38 Ultimatum
Down Gourd Mountain.

Iron cavalry from Xiliang came and went like the wind, and under the leadership of Shen Lian, an army of [-] quickly rushed down the mountain.

Daohulu Mountain belongs to Cangzhang County, less than three miles outside the county seat.

However, Cangzhang County is a small county. Facing the sudden arrival of the Zhenbei Army, many people were so frightened that they went home and closed their doors, not daring to come out.

The county magistrate immediately sent someone to the state capital to notify the state shepherd, and also sent a master to inquire about the Zhenbei army.

The master drove out from the county with two yamen servants, and when he saw the dark Zhenbei army, he couldn't help but fight between the two.

He couldn't help thinking: With so many soldiers and horses, if they attack Cangzhang County, wouldn't the battle be resolved in half an hour?
It is said that the little prince Su Yuan is cruel and ruthless, who knows if he will do something like looting the whole city?

Thinking of this, Master was sweating profusely.

Several soldiers brought them in front of Shen Lian. When the master saw the handsome man in front of him, he thought he was Su Yuan, and quickly knelt down: "See you, my lord..."

"I'm not the prince, get up."

Shen Lian asked the master to stand up and asked straightforward questions.

"What are you here for?"

The master didn't know whether Shen Lian was Su Yuan or not, but he knew that he was in charge, so he stammered and asked, "Yes, the county magistrate sent a villain... Your lord led the army suddenly, is it to..."

"Your county magistrate is worried that we will capture Cangzhang County? No need, this is not the purpose of our trip."

The master heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this.

But the next moment, Shen Lian's question made him feel anxious again.

"Let me ask you, do you know about the Yunshan faction on Daogoushan?"

"Know, know..."

"what do you know?"

Facing Shen Lian, the prince always felt oppressed all over his body, he didn't dare to hide anything, and honestly told everything he knew.

There are hundreds of disciples in the Yunshan School, and they usually live on the Daohulu Mountain.There are fruit trees and animals on Duoculu Mountain, and people from Yunshan School also plant vegetable gardens, and there are mountain springs to drink.

It can be said that in terms of eating and drinking, the Yunshan School can barely be self-sufficient without going down the mountain.

But for other miscellaneous items, such as clothes, incense candles, and some living utensils, the Yunshan faction still needs to come to Cangzhang County to purchase them, about once every half a month.

However, since the Yunshan faction was established in Daohulu Mountain, some hunters in Cangzhang County went to the mountain to hunt, and they would be beaten down by some arrogant disciples.

It is said that this mountain belongs to their Yunshan faction, and outsiders are not allowed to go hunting on the mountain.

For this reason, some hunters even sued the county magistrate, asking for justice, and it was conceivable that the county magistrate didn't bother to pay attention to such matters, and he didn't want to provoke the masters of the rivers and lakes.

The master said everything he knew in one go.

After hearing this, Shen Lian had an idea in his mind.

Different from ordinary Xiliang soldiers, this group of Jinyiwei is very intelligent, and pretending to be real people will not be obvious at all.

In addition, they are also more careful in thinking about things, and are good at analyzing, summarizing, and summarizing based on existing information.

Right now, Shen Lian has made a decision after hearing what the master said about the situation of the Yunshan School.

"Master, please find a few local hunters who are familiar with Duan Hulu Mountain, within an hour."

"Yes Yes……"

It said "please", but in fact, in the eyes of the master, this is an order.

He didn't dare to refuse, and immediately rushed back to the city with the two yamen servants. On the one hand, he searched for Orion who was familiar with Duanhulu Mountain, and on the other hand, he informed the county magistrate that the Zhenbei Army had no intention of capturing Cangzhang County.

The county magistrate is trembling in the county office at the moment, and finally he waited for the master to come back and listened to what he had said before he felt a little relieved.

"What are you dawdling about! Go find Orion!"

"Master County Magistrate, I have sent someone to look for it."

"Alas... It seems that this army was really sent towards Yunshan, fortunately, fortunately." The county magistrate sat down on the wooden chair, he was really afraid that the Zhenbei army would launch an attack.As far as the yamen servants in the county are concerned, if they really want to fight, it may not be enough for the Zhenbei Army to stop their teeth.

Aside from being relieved, he couldn't help gloating: "The group of guys on the mountain are miserable."

……

On the gourd mountain, the Yunshan faction.

At this moment, all the people in the department are concentrated in the practice compound, all nervous, rubbing their hands and stamping their feet.

Someone just sent the news that the Zhenbei Army has really come, and it is at the foot of the mountain at this moment, and there are as many as [-] people in the crowd!
This not only frightened the disciples, but also discussed urgently with the head elder and others in the house.

An elder said with a grim expression, "Why did this happen? The Zhenbei Army didn't retreat? Could it be that the five major families and Gongsun Kuo of the Beijiang Camp didn't attack Beifeng City?"

"I don't know..." The head Liu Yunfeng shook his head.

The letter written by Zhang Yuandong made it clear that the day when Su Yuan's army went to Daohulu Mountain was the day when he and Gongsun Kuoli should join forces to capture Beifeng City.At that time, the large army that came to Yunshan to send revenge will naturally withdraw with the overall situation in mind.

But now...

Another elder said solemnly: "Now tens of thousands of cavalry are at the foot of the mountain, and there is no intention of retreating at all. We must deal with it carefully!"

"Afraid of a bird!" The hot-tempered Elder Zhenlong slammed the table, his copper-bell-like eyes widened, "His uncle! If the Zhenbei Army has the courage, come up the mountain to try!"

"If the Zhenbei Army rushes up the mountain, that's our chance..." Liu Yunfeng said.

Although Duanhulu Mountain is not as steep as some peaks, the mountain road is quite rugged and narrow.

Only a few people can pass the mountain road at a time. If the Zhenbei Army wants to go up the mountain, the advantage of the army will be wiped out.

On the other hand, their Yunshan sect sent out a few Houtian disciples at random to support each other to form a defense, and they were able to guard a mountain path so that the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army could not come up.

"Tell the disciples to prepare some logs and rolling stones immediately! If the Zhenbei army dares to go up the mountain, let them know how powerful they are!" an elder arranged.

At this moment, Layman Xuanzhu, who had been silent all this time, spoke up.

"Everyone, Su Yuan is cautious, I'm afraid he won't let the army go up the mountain easily."

"This……"

"Master! Elders!"

At this time, a disciple rushed into the room, holding a letter in his hand, with the words "Ultimatum" written on the envelope.

"This was sent by a Zhenbei Army!"

"Oh?"

Liu Yunfeng immediately disassembled it for inspection, and after taking a look, he was furious, and angrily reprimanded: "Dare you!"

"What did you write?!"

Zhenlong snatched the letter and read it aloud.

"You are limited to the Yunshan faction to hand over Zhu Xu and Xuanzhu Jushi before you. Otherwise, our army will break through the Yunshan faction's mountain gate, and the extermination faction will be expelled!"

"Wow! I'm so angry!"

After Zhenlong finished reading, his face was furious, and he rushed out of the door with a stride.

Liu Yunfeng realized something, and hurriedly said: "Elder Zhenlong, don't—"

It was too late, Zhenlong rushed out of the house, found the soldier of the Zhenbei Army who delivered the letter, and slammed his palm in the air four or five meters away, and the internal force burst out and hit the soldier's forehead. land.

The surrounding disciples were startled when they saw Elder Zhenlong violently murdering people, and took a few steps back.

"You—ah!"

Liu Yunfeng sighed when he saw that Zhenlong killed the Zhenbei army.

After reading the contents of the letter, he was also very angry, but he didn't want to spill his anger on the person who sent the letter.

The two armies did not kill the envoy, Zhenlong killed him, and there was no one who wanted to answer the letter.

Zhenlong killed the soldiers with one palm, but he was still not satisfied, he yelled that he would rush down the mountain and kill all the Zhenbei troops.

It was several elders who shot together to stop him.

Layman Xuanzhu stood up and said, "I..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Zhenlong stared at him coldly: "Xuanzhu, you old man, if you dare to say something like 'hand me over', I will kill you first!"

"Elder Zhenlong, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"I'm not talking nonsense!" Zhenlong roared, "The Zhenbei army dared to say that they wanted to destroy the faction, and they obviously didn't take me seriously. I have to kill them!"
