Water Margin people

Chapter 1293 The situation is great

Yan'an Prefecture.

"So Zhao Gou has been fooled?"

Lu Zhishen looked at Sun Li and asked.

"Well, I have spread the news, and all the troops should have received the news."

Sun Li replied.

"Then leave them alone for the time being and destroy the Xixia vassal first!"

Lu Zhishen nodded.

"The Xixia army has been assembled and is currently near Hongzhou. It seems that it wants to come to Yan'an through Tumen!"

Liu Fa looked at Lu Zhishen and said.

"This is because we think we are not strong enough, and we want to capture Yan'an directly, and then occupy the fifth Kansai route!"

Lu Zhishen said.

"Master Lu, why don't we close the door and beat the dog?"

Qin Ming looked at Lu Zhishen and said, Hongzhou is their territory to the south. It is almost all mountainous, and the mountains are excellent places for ambush.

Lu Zhishen was a little moved. Beating the dogs with closed doors would definitely kill the Xixia army to the greatest extent. Anyway, the current relationship is really vast and sparsely populated, and he is not afraid of the damage caused by the enemy entering the border.

However, Lu Zhishen still looked at Gongsun Sheng aside.

"I'm afraid it won't work! This trick of beating dogs behind closed doors in mountainous areas has been used too many times. Xixia has suffered too much and will not be easily fooled. Think about it, the Xixia army has been gathering in Hongzhou for three days, why is it so late? Going south?"

Gongsun Sheng shook his head and said.

"That's right. We have killed tens of thousands of Xixia people by ambushing them. The Xixia people are not stupid. They will learn from their mistakes and will not be fooled easily."

Lu Zhishen nodded and said, Xixia people are extremely cunning.

"How about we lure the enemy deeper?"

Tang Bin looked at Lu Zhishen and asked.

"You can go try it!"

Lu Zhishen nodded and said, although the possibility is unlikely, you might as well give it a try.

……

Zhao Gou finally led people into Guanzhong.

"We finally arrived at Guanzhong!"

Zhao Gou looked at the Guanzhong Plain and sighed, he has had enough in the mountains these days.

"Your Highness, let's hurry up!"

Zhang Jun looked at Zhao Gou and urged, entering Guanzhong is the beginning of the danger. It is not easy for them to be discovered in the mountains, but this is the Guanzhong Plain and is densely populated. They will be discovered as soon as they enter Guanzhong. Thousands of people are in the plain. There is nowhere to hide.

"go!"

Zhao Gou gave the order directly.

"Your Highness, we are really going to Shuzhong!"

But immediately someone came up with different ideas.

"Your Highness, although Sichuan is rich, it is also very congested and inconvenient. Zhuge Liang left Qishan six times and failed to achieve his ambition. Why should we make the same mistake again?"

A general spoke.

"Wang Wei, what do you mean? What is your identity? Do you dare to speak here?"

Someone next to Zhang Jun started to scold him.

"Hmph, what do we in the Western Army dare not say? You Jin prisoners also dare to speak like this to us!"

The faces of everyone around Wang Wei suddenly turned cold, and they all clenched the weapons in their hands, as if they were about to take action.

For a time, the army around Zhao Gou was at war with each other, and they would fight among themselves if they disagreed.

In the past few days, Zhao Gou met a lot of scattered Western troops in the mountains. The total number of them was two thousand. This made Zhao Gou very happy. As soon as he entered Guanzhong, he gathered so many people. This made Zhao Gou full of hope for the future. gained hope.

However, as more soldiers were gathered, conflicts also emerged. There were many contradictions between the captive soldiers given by the Jin State and the gathered Western troops, and there were often conflicts.

"What are you doing!"

Zhao Gou immediately scolded both parties.

"Wang Wei, what are you doing?"

Zhao Gou looked at Wang Wei. He had already ordered him to leave. How could this man still dare to speak?

"Your Highness, I have other opinions!"

Wang Wei looked at Zhao Gou and said. "These people have never been to the northwest and don't know the situation here. Guanzhong is connected to the Central Plains and the transportation is extremely convenient. This is the best base!"

Wang Wei said.

"Then you should know that transportation is convenient for us, and transportation is also convenient for the enemy! If the enemy comes to kill us, how can we stop them?"

Zhang Jun questioned.

"Then have you ever thought about it, if someone wants to defect to His Highness, we are in Shu, and they have no choice but to give up."

Wang Wei looked at Zhang Jun and said.

"Your Highness, we can definitely take Guanzhong. Now that the Qi State's army is at the border, they don't have enough soldiers and horses to come and cause trouble for us. This journey has proved that if Qi State still had soldiers and horses, they would have been hunting and arresting them in the mountains. ”

Wang Wei looked at Zhao Gou and said.

"Ok?"

Zhao Gou frowned slightly, but his heart moved. Guanzhong is indeed a good place.

Just when Zhao Gou was hesitant, the sentry from the front came to report that there were troops approaching.

Everyone immediately put away their prejudices and lined up to face the enemy.

"His Royal Highness Prince Kang!"

The "enemy" that appeared did not attack, but shouted Zhao Gou.

"I am King Kang Zhao Gou, who are you?"

Zhao Gou looked at the visitor with confusion. He was in his fifties and wearing a civilian shirt. He could tell at a glance that he was a civil servant.

"I am Zhang Jian, the magistrate of Puzhou County, and I would like to welcome His Royal Highness King Kang!"

Zhang Jian knelt down and worshiped Zhao Gou.

"Magistrate Zhang, please wake up!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gou immediately helped Zhang Jian up, and the man in front of him turned out to be a loyal minister.

"Your Highness, all the troops and horses of Puzhou are here, and there are tens of thousands of young men and women in the city who are willing to follow His Highness King Kang. In addition, there are tens of thousands of stones of grain and grass in the city, which can be used as military rations!"

Zhang Jian pointed to the army behind him and said, there were more than two thousand soldiers and horses.

Zhao Gou was ecstatic when he heard that. Did he get a state city? This went too smoothly.

"If I raise the flag of righteousness, won't all loyal ministers and righteous men in the world rush to vote?"

Zhao Gou unconsciously fantasized in his heart.

"County Magistrate Zhang, how did you know His Royal Highness Prince Kang is here?"

Zhang Jun frowned and looked at Zhang Jian in front of him and asked.

"It has been spread all over the world that His Royal Highness Prince Kang is on the Yongxing Army Road. Those who capture him will be heavily rewarded and a wanted order has been issued."

Zhang Jian spoke and took out the wanted notice.

"Has it spread all over the place?"

Zhang Jun was stunned for a moment, but he immediately realized that it was not that no one was arresting them, but that they were waiting for them to fall into the trap.

"Your Highness, don't worry. We are all loyal to the Song Dynasty. Now that your Highness returns, he will definitely restore our country to the Song Dynasty!"

Zhang Jian looked at Zhao Gou and said.

"Let's go to Puzhou first!"

When Zhao Gou heard this, he was greatly relieved. The people around him did not argue anymore. Naturally, everyone was willing to enter the city. The city was safer than outside anyway.

"Let's go to Puzhou."

Luan Tingyu shouted loudly to the soldiers.

In the next few days, news of Zhao Gou's arrival in Guanzhong spread, and many people came to defect with their troops and horses. Within a few days, Zhao Gou had an army of 30,000.

"His Royal Highness Prince Kang, we just received news that a group of people from the Central Plains are coming with troops! There are about more than 10,000 troops and horses, and they are expected to arrive in two days."

Zhang Jian watched Zhao Gou report.

"Ha ha!"

Zhao Gou laughed. He was very happy now. If he continued like this, he would be able to gather a hundred thousand troops within a month, and then he would have the confidence to invade the Central Plains.

"Congratulations, Your Highness, the restoration of the country is just around the corner!"

Qin Hui and Zhang Bangchang congratulated Zhao Gou.

"Now we have soldiers and horses, but food and grass are a big problem!"

Zhang Jun poured cold water on them. Raising troops was not an easy task.
