I want to embrace the moon for nine days

The veteran smiled and said: "We are indeed from Jiangdong, but where did you hear this news?"

"I learned this from Sun Xingzu, the deputy city lord of Juma City, and others."

Su Hanshan said, "They really want to find you, so as soon as I discovered the suspected whereabouts, I came over to check."

The veterans thought for a moment.

"Juma City, didn't you hear that they are not planning to send anyone out?"

"Please wait a moment while we go make the announcement."

A veteran turned around and walked into a tent. He quickly turned around and came out, saying loudly: "Please come in."

Su Hanshan walked into the tent, the thick curtain fell, and a dim light hanging from the top of the tent was already lit.

In the middle of the open space of the camp, a small stove radiated heat outwards, keeping the entire camp warm.

A long table was placed behind the stove, and a large wool blanket was laid on the ground behind the table.

An old man with a thin appearance, slightly curly eyebrows and a sparse beard was sitting on the wool blanket. He looked about sixty years old. He was wearing a white and yellowish single coat and a black burqa. It's like being woken up from sleep.

"This is our King Wu from Jiangdong."

The veteran said, "No matter what the envoy has to do, he can speak out."

Su Hanshan was a little surprised. Although he heard that the troops were sent from Prince Wu's palace, he didn't expect that Prince Wu would actually lead the troops himself.

"I, Yang Baifa, was just the former King of Wu, but the current King of Wu is my apprentice, and he can still make some decisions."

The old man smiled and said in a clear voice, "I heard that the envoy came from Juma City. I don't know what token he has. Why are you looking for me?"

Su Hanshan announced his name and said with a smile: "Although I heard about Jiangdong's dispatch of troops from Sun Xingzu and others, I did not come from Juma City."

"Not long ago, Juma City was occupied by the Hu people. After Sun Xingzu and the others fled with some remaining soldiers, they passed by my Dongping City and tried to rob food. I captured them and learned many things from them."

In just a few words, the news contained was shocking. The veteran's expression changed obviously, and he was extremely surprised: "Hu people?!"

Yang Baifa also moved his eyebrows and said, "Old Qin, bring me a pot of tea."

The veteran came to his senses and took the order to leave the camp. When he came back, there were already two people, one carrying a pot of hot water and the other carrying a tea set.

"I was in such a rush to meet you just now that I forgot to serve some tea. Please sit down."

Yang Baifa found a cushion, placed it opposite the long table, and asked Su Hanshan to sit down.

The hot tea was poured into the two cups, with a slight green color, and the aroma of strong tea immediately evaporated with the heat.

Yang Baifa picked it up and took a sip, indicating to Su Hanshan to taste it.

Su Hanshan picked it up, blew it, and took a sip.

"It's my fault that I came unexpectedly in the middle of the night."

Su Hanshan said, "It's just that things in Juma City are not trivial. If we in the city want to do business, the best choice is to go there."

"The final destination of the old King Wu's soldiers and horses is also pointed there. Now it is occupied by the barbarians. If the news cannot be reported as soon as possible and a response can be made, the longer it is delayed, the more inappropriate it will be."

Yang Baifa nodded slightly and said with a smile: "The sooner we know this news, the better. Your Excellency can take down Sun Xingzu and the others, which shows that you have extraordinary strength. Since you are so concerned about Juma City, you want to deal with this matter with us." Something?"

Su Hanshan was blunt and said: "I hope to see a mature port city where business can be done in peace, rather than a large cottage that was broken down and robbed, and the rules were re-established by bandits."

"it is good!"

Yang Baifa said, "I brought fifteen thousand people out from Jiangdong. During the day, they were divided into teams of one thousand people to eliminate living corpses and open roads. At night, they were divided into three groups to camp."

"Half a year of stop and go has been quite fruitful. Now there are many cities along the rear, which can recycle the grain and grass from Jiangdong. However, if we want to mobilize troops from these cities, I am afraid that it will be delayed for a long time and things will change even more."

He took a sip of tea and said, "How are the Hu people's troops and horses? How many masters are there? What will your Excellency do?"

This man spoke straight to the point, openly and openly. Once he knew the main subject of the incident, he would just focus on this matter.

Su Hanshan liked this straight-to-the-point style, and immediately said: "When the Hu people attacked Juma City, they mainly relied on internal cooperation and external cooperation to create internal strife. The total manpower was only more than 10,000 troops."

"The masters who appeared at that time included three figures with divine souls in their bodies. Their strength was generally higher than that of Sun Xingzu. One of them even charged into the battle alone and killed the Lord of Juma City. There were also several fierce generals with psychic powers. The specific number is Not sure anymore.”

"However, they belong to a sect called Wuxiong Sect, which unites various tribes in Donghu. It is said that there are 30,000 to 40,000 elite soldiers in the sect. In the past few years, they have occupied several large cities. It remains to be seen whether more troops will be added. Know."

"Dongping City is just a small city. Apart from me, the most elite people in the city are only the more than two thousand captive soldiers."

Su Hanshan said this, blew the tea leaves, watched the tea slowly fluctuate, and said, "But this time, I will go there personally, and because it is a small town, there is another name available."

"We have a lot of chopped and polished wood in our city. In the name of doing business in our small town, we can ask King Wu to send some vanguard soldiers in disguise to help us escort these goods to Juma City."

Yang Baifa's expression changed slightly: "Would the Hu people believe that you want to do business with them?"

"The city is small and closed, and there is no information. It is normal to not know that Juma City has changed its owner. Once you get closer, it will be too late."

Su Hanshan said with a pun, and added, "Besides, the straight-line distance between Dongping and Juma is not that far. The food harvest in Dongping City this year is too poor. I have no choice but to ask for food and gather one or two thousand people." It’s not surprising that people dare to endure an arduous journey for several days in an environment surrounded by living corpses.”

Chen Wanchuan brought his people out and wandered around for several months before arriving at Dongping City, but that was only because Dongping City was located in a remote place, and it was not easy for people coming from big cities to notice it.

In fact, if there is a clear and complete route map, the cavalry can gallop directly from Dongping to Juma in two days.

Among the prisoners in Su Hanshan, there is someone who can be this guide.

"If everything is as you said, we can set off tomorrow and try your plan. The vanguard will be camouflaged in front and the army will be hiding behind."

Yang Baifa turned the tea cup with his palm and said, "But after all, it is our first time to discuss such a big matter, so we will inevitably have some doubts in our hearts. I will go to the city tomorrow and ask Sun Xingzu personally."

Su Hanshan said: "Of course."

"I don't have 100% trust in old King Wu, but any friend has the stage of first acquaintance."

Su Hanshan raised his teacup, "I hope we can be friends."

Yang Baifa chuckled and clinked glasses with him.

"There's something I'm a little curious about."

Su Hanshan said, "Why do the soldiers I see seem to be over forty years old? Didn't King Wu bring any young soldiers with him when he came out this time?"

Yang Baifa said: "It's time for young people to shoulder their responsibilities. Those of us who are about to hand over our responsibilities will be more relaxed and can do things we have wanted to do for a long time."

Su Hanshan thought thoughtfully and said, "Doesn't the current King of Wu support you in sending troops?"

“As soon as I get out the door, he definitely has my back.”

Yang Baifa smiled, and there was a hint of a rogue in his wise smile, "But after the cities where the canal entered the sea refused to send troops, he was indeed not so enthusiastic about this matter."

"He also represents the thoughts of many young people. Opening roads may indeed be beneficial to everyone in the future, but if others are not in a hurry, why should we spend a lot of manpower and material resources first? After all, we in Jiangdong don't need it. These roads are already going well." Su Hanshan said: "There is nothing wrong with their ideas."

"Ok?"

Yang Baifa let out a chuckle and asked with a smile, "You are also a young man. It sounds like you don't agree with their views?"

Su Hanshan shook his head and said: "I can't control what happens to them. But I like to reform everything, open up roads, and reconnect the world. It sounds like a major event that can be recalled in life. If there is a chance, I’m definitely going to do it.”

Yang Baifa drank a few sips of tea, his smile became brighter, and he laughed and said: "Okay, okay, actually, when I saw you walking in from outside the tent in the middle of the night, I felt like a good man in my gut."

"I always trust my intuition. When we talk about big things or small things, we all fall in love. It's a pity that the last batch of wine sent by the army has been consumed. Otherwise, this tea should be replaced with wine to make it taste better. ."

The next morning, when it was dark, Yang Baifa took a group of personal guards and went to Dongping City with Su Hanshan.

"King Wu!"

Sun Xingzu had met Yang Baifa back then, but he really didn't expect that he had only mentioned Jiangdong soldiers and horses two days ago, and today he would actually meet him in Dongping City.

But his eyes turned between Yang Baifa and Su Hanshan, but he did not ask Yang Baifa for help or accuse Su Hanshan of his actions.

This world is the most realistic. Su Hanshan's value as a person is much higher than that of Sun Xingzu and the others. Yang Baifa is not Sun Xingzu's father, and it is impossible for him to fall out with Su Hanshan.

Instead, be more calm at this time, maybe things will turn around.

After all, Su Hanshan seemed to have no one around him. He must have a big plan to cooperate with Jiangdong soldiers and horses. Since Sun Xingzu and the others were not killed directly, there must be places where they could be used in the future.

Sun Xingzu and Ben Yin looked at each other and both understood what the other meant.

Keeping your eyes open and being able to bend and stretch is the way to save your life.

Yang Baifa was also a little surprised. He originally felt that Su Hanshan was not in a state where the soul entered the body, and he also vaguely felt that Su Hanshan's strength was not as simple as ordinary fists and psychic powers.

But I never expected that Su Hanshan could capture three masters with souls in their bodies by himself, and he didn't even seem to have disabled these three people.

Even if the scope of the realm of divine soul entering the body is very large, the strength of those who have entered the divine soul for the first time is already extraordinary. Even if you look at the world today, you may not be able to count a hundred.

It is much more troublesome to capture such a person alive than to beat him to death or cripple him.

"I have heard City Lord Su talk about Juma City."

Yang Baifa said, "Tell us about the situation of the barbarians."

Sun Xingzu and the others simply repeated what they had said before without any deviation from the topic.

Su Hanshan knew that they were very knowledgeable and looked at them with a smile.

Yang Baifa was also quite satisfied. After everything was clarified, he said smoothly: "It is not easy to find a warrior with a spiritual soul. City Lord Su, we want to take back Juma City. If we don't use these three masters, it will be okay." Pity."

Su Hanshan said: "Then take them with the old King Wu's army. When the time comes, I will pull out these nails for them. I hope they can fight bravely this time and don't escape from Juma City without leaving any wounds. "

Sun Xingzu was a little ashamed and said: "The barbarian named Bu Dugen is really fierce. After killing the city lord, I immediately knew that even with the combined strength of the three of us, we are no match."

"Escape as soon as possible while taking advantage of the chaos, so you have a chance to call for help..."

Yang Baifa said: "Okay, needless to say, when you go back to Juma City this time, you can deal with ordinary soldiers and horses among the barbarians, right?"

Sun Xingzu nodded repeatedly.

On a truly large-scale battlefield, the mental momentum of the army will be mixed and become extremely strong. Even a master cannot stun hundreds of people just by the spread of fist power.

With the three of them having such a level of spiritual energy in their bodies, their fist attacks on the battlefield can kill dozens of people at a time. In a real fight, they mainly rely on physically attacking their opponents.

But based on their strength, if there is no expert to stop them, even if they need to punch and kill ordinary soldiers and horses, it will be like a strong wind rolling grass and mustard, and the efficiency will never be low.

After Yang Baifa's troops entered the city, as discussed last night, they began to separate some elite soldiers and pretend to be ordinary people in Dongping City.

The people in Dongping City didn't have much clothing at home. Since they had to use it to disguise these elite soldiers, of course they had to give some compensation. However, they got thick military winter clothes, which was an unexpected blessing.

Su Hanshan told Liu Jiazi and the others to take care of the city, and then followed the disguised Jiangdong soldiers and horses on the road together.

There was a distance of about twenty miles between these vanguard soldiers pretending to be ordinary people and the large army behind them. They relied on Sun Xingzu and others' memory of the terrain along the way to allow the large army to move through the jungle as covertly as possible.

A few days later, Su Hanshan felt that the air had become more humid, and rivers became more common wherever he passed.

They were already close to where the canal entered the sea, and they were within sight of Horse City.

There are many old and new overlaps on the dark city wall, and there are traces of being attacked. The suspension bridge across the river hangs in mid-air, and there are many thick iron chains on both sides, which have obviously been replaced recently.

The East Gate and West Gate of Juma City are both gates, with rivers passing directly through them. When the gates are raised, they can allow ships to pass.

However, Su Hanshan and the others came from the south, and the south gate only had a moat and a suspension bridge gate. They had to cross the river and the bridge before entering the city.

When they were still three or four miles away from the city gate, the suspension bridge had been lowered and a group of cavalry rushed out of the city.

"Who are you? Where do you come from?"

The cavalry leader raised his whip in his hand. There were two staggered scars on his face, and his sound was like a broken gong.

In order not to be too conspicuous, Su Hanshan also changed his clothes and mixed in the crowd. He raised his head and took a look, only to find that there were no traces of barbarians in this group of cavalry. They seemed to be from the Central Plains, and their armor and armor were similar to those worn by Sun Xingzu at that time. Those people are pretty much the same.

As soon as his heart moved, he understood that these should be the troops who surrendered after the city was captured.

The apparent leader of the freight team was selected by Jiangdong Bingmali. He was a sophisticated man who was proficient in local dialects and explained their purpose in a few words.

Unexpectedly, these cavalrymen didn't ask too many questions, but seeing that they really didn't have much luck, they waved their whips impatiently and let them enter the city.

"Damn it, after those barbarians broke through the city, they robbed things and women all over the city for three whole days. When their leader came, he said that they would maintain Juma City's status as a four-way trade place and no more robberies were allowed. .”

"In the end, it was us who were watched the most. Even a blind person can see who is more likely to steal things."

"Oh, boss, please bear with me. We are in charge now. Besides, our place was only robbed for three days, which is really good. I heard that when they occupied other cities in the past, once they broke the city, they all The plunder lasted for more than ten days."

"The oil and water at the east and west city gates and the inner and outer docks have all been harvested by those barbarians. They will definitely harvest more and more in the future!"

When Su Hanshan entered the city, he heard them muttering and complaining among themselves.

After entering the city, we saw long streets with few houses and houses like chess pieces. Although there were many houses and many of them had shop signs, most of them were closed and looked quite depressed.

The leader inquired about where it was possible to collect the wood, and led the team forward, moving to a place near the dock, and only saw a scene with slightly more people.

At the corner of the street, there are still barbarians sitting on wooden platforms, preaching something.

"...So, most of the emperors of the Zhou Emperor, the Xiaohan Dynasty, and the Wude Dynasty have the blood of our Wuxiong people. Fuxi Nuwa and Shennong Xuanyuan are also the ancestors of our Wuxiong people and the ministers of King Hengxiong!"
