Chapter 76 Captured
The cold wind whimpered, and the torch was tossed by the wind, dragging the scenery of the four fields.

It is now night, and the caravan and refugees are all perched behind a leeward mountain.The snow had already been swept away, leaving a field on all sides, and everyone was busy cooking.

The bodyguard of the Li Family Escort Bureau, Li Chongjiu, a strong man in the Cangtou Army, was waiting around the outer circle, watching for any movement in the night.

Even though the outside is fully on guard, the caravan refugees inside are all uneasy.

The caravan and the refugees saw that Li Chongjiu and the others had been gone for a long time and they still didn't return, so they couldn't help but feel worried.

Regardless of whether or not there are a few armed merchants, they all picked up their sabers and sharpened them on the stone. Anyway, they don't know when the last time they drew their sabers.

The servants of each caravan gathered together so that if there was any movement, they would each take their own goods and disperse.Now the night was deep, and everyone had eaten their meals, but there was still no sign of Li Chongjiu.

Ye Xiao's voice yelled long and short, and everyone's heart began to tingle.

This time, the people's worries turned to fear, and the caravan steward looked north from time to time, but Li Chongjiu and the others were nowhere to be seen riding, nor did they hear any horseshoes.

At this time, several caravan stewards who had been at odds with Sun Erniang began to attack together.

One of them said to Sun Erniang in a strange way: "I just said it, young people are ignorant and act recklessly, and you are also ignorant. This rogue is not easy to provoke."

Erniang Sun raised her eyebrows and said, "Okay, Steward Sun, we are all on the same boat right now, you are so fussy, if something happens to the young escort, you will be happy, right? Believe it or not, give me the lancet in my hand first." You make three holes."

Sun Erniang gestured with a pair of lancets tied to her leg. Many business managers looked at the curve of each other's legs, secretly fearing while swallowing their saliva.

A manager thought, this woman is in her thirties, and her legs are still so strong.

"I'm also responsible for this matter. If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't let the young guard go out alone. It's too risky." Lin Dangfeng said.In fact, at this moment, Erniang Sun couldn't help but feel worried, wondering if she should send someone to meet him or not.Just at this time, the sound of rumbling horseshoes came from the north, and the night was dark, although it was hard to see how many cavalry there were, but since everyone had experienced experience, they heard from the ground that there were more than [-] cavalry.

At this moment, everyone's expressions changed drastically. Li Chongjiu took away only ten riders, but returned with [-] riders. Needless to say, Li Chongjiu must have attacked rashly, but was ambushed by a large group of red scarf rangers, and lost his subordinates there. up.Sun Erniang's eyes were fixed, and she immediately ordered: "Prepare to meet the enemy."

But Erniang Sun couldn't help worrying about Li Chongjiu in her heart, if he made any mistakes, how would she explain to Li Hu.

The bodyguards, the troopers, and the Cangtou army all took up their bows and arrows and prepared to meet the enemy. Erniang Sun knew that the cavalry of the opponent must be the vanguard, and there must be the main force of infantry behind. Living.

Everyone was apprehensive, but someone saw it with sharp eyes and said happily that it was the young escort, it was the young escort who had returned.

Sun Erniang was overjoyed at the moment, she opened her eyes wide and saw that Li Chongjiu rode his horse back, not only him, but none of the bodyguards on the left and right was lost, and they were all riding three by one, with things on their horses.

"Young Escort, not only returned safely, but also snatched all the horses of the thieves."

As soon as the news came out, all the businessmen who questioned Li Chongjiu's management were both surprised and happy.Surprised that Li Chongjiu actually won, and happy that the Red Scarf Rangers were all wiped out.

The previous assumptions of the caravan owners were actually correct.

The red scarf ranger really wanted to keep an eye on Li Chongjiu, and then called his companions to take care of the cavalry who had left the big team, but he didn't expect that Li Chongjiu did this on purpose, attracting the other side's ranger first, and annihilating them together. In short, the harassment was resolved in one go.

This is the method used by escort agencies in the past. Generally, escort agencies found themselves being followed by someone when they were on the road.

This is called knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, and the jargon in the escort agency is Leigang.

If the other party is still ignorant, then find a way to abolish the other party's tricks, so that the other party can see through the reality of his 'Cangtou Army'.In Li Chongjiu's words, there is only the truth of being a thief for a thousand days, where there is no way to guard against a thief for a thousand days, you are not afraid of thieves stealing, but you are afraid of thieves thinking about it.

Therefore, Li Chongjiu lured the opponent's detective cavalry.

As a result, only three or four of the twenty scouts escaped, and all the rest were wiped out.

After the rangers were wiped out, Li Chongjiu ordered to clean up the battlefield, so he confiscated 500 horses, nine long knives, six long spears, sixteen ordinary one-stone and one-and-a-half stone riding bows, more than [-] arrowheads, and felt , dozens of pieces of horse felt, pecking, noose, Wei leather strips, etc., and three pairs of leather armor.

After scraping for a while, everyone returned home happily, which delayed the return journey.

All the merchants were in charge, and when they heard that Li Chongjiu shot and killed [-] rangers with a magic arrow, they were all amazed, but Lin Dangfeng's eyes sparkled. Compared with his martial arts, he admired Li Chongjiu's strategy even more.

After the capture, Li Chongjiu was thinking about forming this cavalry team.

Now Li Chongjiu selected [-] Shaolin lay disciples who could ride horses and shoot arrows.There are not many such people, but there are more than [-] people. When Li Chongjiu was in Shaolin Temple, he fought with refugees many times. Among the children of Shaolin laymen, many of them can ride horses.

So Li Chongjiu formed a cavalry team of thirty cavalry, and the businessmen became more confident when they saw this.After eliminating the rangers under Chai Baochang's command, he went on the road for three consecutive days without encountering any thieves.

Everyone went safe and sound all the way. After crossing the boundary of Jiangxian County, everyone walked under the majestic Zhongtiao Mountain and Wangwu Mountain, and went directly to the southern foot of Taihang Mountain.

Below is Zhiguanxing in the eight Xings of the Taihang. After passing through this passage, you can go straight to Hanoi from the east of the river.

The reason why Zhiguanxing is called the first Xing of Taihang is not only due to geographical factors, but also because it connects the two important places of Hedong and Hanoi.

From the perspective of the overall situation, both Hedong and Hanoi are north of the Yellow River, defending Xijing, the important place of the Eastern Capital.For the Sui Dynasty, these two places could not afford to lose.The east of the river is an important place, otherwise the rebels can attack Xijing by crossing the river.

At that time, the Qin Dynasty established its capital in Guanzhong, and the reason why it fought against Wei Guo.It was because the State of Wei occupied the land of Hedong, established its capital in Anyi, and stationed heavy troops in Pujin.Shang Yang said to the King of Qin, Qin and Wei, for example, if a person has a heart disease, if Wei does not merge with Qin, Qin will merge with Wei.

Afterwards, the state of Qin and Shang Yang became stronger after the reform, defeated the state of Wei after a bloody battle, and forced the state of Wei to move the capital from Anyi to Daliang.

The state of Qin obtained the land of Hedong, and after that, Bai Qi, the general of Qin, repeatedly sent troops along this pass to Hanoi from the east of the river.Therefore, Su Qin has a saying, and Qin Xiazhi Dao will move Nanyang.

Later, Bai Qi captured Yewang again, with 40 Zhao troops in Changpingkeng, and almost captured Hanoi.Therefore, Hedong is very important to the Great Sui Dynasty. Although Shandong is now rebellious, and all kinds of rebellious kings are gathered, as soon as Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty heard of the chaos in Hedong, he immediately sent Li Yuan to dispatch troops to wipe it out.

So Li Chongjiu is convinced that it won't take too long, and the rebellion of Mu Duaner and Chai Baochang will be extinguished.
