Chapter 774 Chapter 774: Flood washed away the Dragon King Temple [Please vote]
Kang Shi was obviously not the only one targeting Chaoli Pass.
When Zheng Guoxi philanthropist Qiao was distributing the national seal everywhere, several self-aware small forces knew that they were unable to compete with Huang Lie and other forces for the national seal, so they did not join in the fight against the national seal. The chase. This actually led to a huge chaos among the forces that caused them to withdraw from Qianzhou in advance due to a strange combination of circumstances.
They are lucky and a little unlucky at the same time.
Fortunately, they were close to the Miaojiang River. When the national seal was born, they immediately retreated across the river with the treasure in their arms and reached the border of Yanzhou. Unfortunately, they are not the only ones who think so. Along the way, we also encountered other forces with national seals.
An alliance?
Neither trusts the other.
Should we fight if we are not aligned?
The strengths of small forces and small forces are close again.
This resulted in the fact that although the fighting in Yanzhou was not as fierce as that in Qianzhou, the people were in dire straits and corpses were everywhere.
One lucky person among them stood out and returned to Chaoli Pass smoothly, so that he could take advantage of the natural dangers of the pass to gain a chance to breathe. But this lucky guy was not so lucky, because they met Kang Shi's soldiers and horses before they were even hot at Chaoliguan. At first, they were a bit lucky.
Who among the Allied forces didn't know that Shen Tang's troops were split into two?
Kang Shi's army was small in strength. Even if Gong Xiqiu and others joined him, he still had the natural danger of Chaoli Pass to rely on, and he also held the national seal. When it comes to fighting, the advantage lies with you.
Result——
Kang Shi also had the national seal in his hand.
Chaoli Pass, known as Yanzhou's dangerous pass, changed hands twice in just half a month. Kang Shi took advantage of the gap where the defenders were not stable, led his troops to attack, and captured the place in one fell swoop. He didn't even drink a sip of hot water, so he immediately deployed his only manpower to defend various parts of the pass.
A large number of scouts were sent to contact the lord and others.
Wei Shou had been the guard general of Chaoli Pass before, and the soldiers and horses he left behind were very familiar with the situation inside the pass, which actually reduced Kang Shi's workload. Kang Shi, who had not slept for several days, had red eyes. He reluctantly cheered up: "In addition to guarding Chaoli Pass and rendezvousing with the lord's soldiers and horses, there is another important thing."
The flood situation in Yanzhou More troublesome than expected.
Not only are there floods, but there are also epidemics spreading wantonly.
The problem now is that they are short of people, food and medicinal materials.
If these two troubles cannot be solved, the common people will gather and launch a riot, with disastrous consequences. It's not that these common people can threaten themselves when they gather together, but the war has reached this point. As long as our own forces can stabilize their position, the northwest region will basically be stable. But what if there is only land but no population? These common people will be the main force in revitalizing various states in the future.
Save if you can without affecting yourself.
Gong Xiqiu said: "The situation in Yanzhou is not bad..."
Compared with the chaos in Qianzhou's boundaries, Yanzhou is just looking at depression. After all, the people who end up fighting are all The power of the party and the common people seem to be quite stable. Kang Shi said speechlessly: "Yanzhou looks okay. That's because most of the young people here have been transferred to Qianzhou by Zheng Qiao. With Chaoliguan as the boundary, 70% of the half of Yanzhou outside the pass are old and weak. They How much chaos can happen if we get together?”
Yu Zi looked solemn and said: "The bodies of the old and the weak are far less resistant than the young and strong. Once the epidemic gets out of control, it will be difficult for them to survive. The most terrible thing is that the shortage of food and medicine is not only outside the customs, but also within the customs, and the epidemic has also spread. "
There is a shortage of food, medicine, and troops...
Three mountains are so heavy that people can hardly breathe.
It also made Kang Shi doubt his life. Could this be his own bad luck again? Just when he was at his wits' end, the scouts came back with exciting information - they detected a group of men and horses, with a small number of troops, escorting a large number of baggage vehicles.
Kang Shi was shocked: "A baggage truck?"
He hurriedly asked: "Have you found out what was escorted in the car?"
Yu Zi was responsible for handing over information to the scouts, and then she integrated it back to Kangshi: "That group of people acted cautiously, and the scouts did not dare to approach rashly. , but judging from the depth of the wheels of the baggage cart and the items left behind, there are corn and wheat all over the cart."
Kang Shi put his hands in his sleeves and frowned in thought.
Yu Zi asked: "The military advisor is worried about fraud?"
Kang Shi rubbed the bridge of his sore nose and said unnaturally: "Weiheng thinks... there will be such a coincidence?"
Pie in the sky may fall into the sky, but it is unlikely to fall into his mouth. He was suffering from a shortage of food and was so worried that his hair was falling out. The scouts sent back the news that a mysterious food transport team had appeared near Chaoliguan? It can't be such a coincidence, right?
Of course he would be worried that this was a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain.
However, the food was right in front of him. If he didn't take a bite of such fat meat, he would regret it even in his dreams, and he was hesitant for a moment.
Kang Shi asked again: "Have you found out their identities?"
Yu Zi shook her head: "No."
This grain transport team acted very cautiously. They did not display any flags, and the grain transport troops and horses had no iconic features. They were all dressed up as ordinary people. But judging from the momentum around them and the formation in action, they are definitely a well-trained elite.
Kang Shi held his chin in thought.
Suggestions of a sneak attack to rob food emerged and then suppressed.
After repeatedly asking for more than a dozen meetings in his heart, Kang Shi decided to take a risk and entrusted Gong Xiqiu to help out of caution.
Gong Xiqiu refused as soon as he heard this.
When I was decisive, I almost forgot the next part.
"Why not?"
Gong Xiqiu pointed to his eyes. Although he did not rely on his eyes, these eyes were still not very convenient for leading troops to ambush: " You let the man named Chu The same goes for him.”
Kang Shi said: “General Chu also refused.”
Because Chu Jie felt that he was more reliable at guarding the pass than Gongxi Qiu, and he was a permanent guard. General, when he was healthy, he really couldn't do anything.
The most important thing is——
Strictly speaking, Chu Jie is not a subordinate of the lord.
Gong Xiqiu muttered: "If he refuses, why should I go?"
Considering the sake of the holy object, he did not care about Kang Shi.
However, fortunately, he led his troops to ambush.
Otherwise, this farce would be really laughable.
As a sixteenth-level grand master, and possessing certain special features of the Martial Arts Totem, he sensed an extremely familiar aura from the ambush target. Gong Xiqiu's face was as exciting as the overturned palette, and he played a drama of falling from the sky.
The food transport team below noticed it instantly.
“Who is going to die?”
A figure rushed out from among them.
Gong Xiqiu slapped the provocative Xun Ding back, and cursed angrily: "Look who I am before I speak harshly! Xun Yong'an, I haven't seen you for a while, but your staff has grown a lot. But you are more courageous!"
A slap on Xun Ding's chest made his breath surge.
Although the sky was pitch black, Gong Xiqiu's dark green martial aura lingered all over his body, and coupled with his iconic voice, Xun Ding recognized his identity. So he stabilized his figure in mid-air and landed lightly on the ground. Coupled with his father Xunzhen's words falling down in time, he immediately started shaking, covering his chest and cursing: "Gong Xiqiu, are you sick? Come out of here." Why are you so scary?”
Gong Xiqiu’s attitude has always been a mystery.
But there is no murderous intent in him, and Xun Ding is not worried that the other party is an enemy. The next second, he felt like he was slapped in the face by reality - human heads and silhouettes appeared on the hills in the distance. If you were not careful, you would have thought they were bushes...
Xun Ding: "..."
Gong Xiqiu led his troops to ambush them?
As soon as this thought came out, Xun Ding had the intention to kill.
But before the killing intent could break out, Gong Xiqiu slapped him again. The latter was still humiliating him: "I really should let Ah Lai see how stupid you are. Xun Yong'an, in my case With such murderous intent in front of you, you really think your life is too long, right?" In the end, Xun Zhen took action to pull his son back. He looked at Gong Xiqiu with a serious look and asked, "What's going on?"
Gong Xiqiu waved his hand behind him: "Everyone come out!"
Xun Ding: "..."
The two parties sat down and looked at each other.
I checked my eyes, it’s really my family!
Xun Ding said in surprise: "Kang's military division has captured Chaoli Pass? But, the previous news did not say that Chaoli Pass is..."
Gongxi Qiu said quietly: "Your information is not timely."
Xun Ding: "..."
In the current situation, it is normal for the information to lag behind for seven or eight days, and they have this It was hard work to protect the food and arrive here safely, avoiding refugees and allied forces in Yanzhou. Fortunately, Gong Xiqiu recognized him, otherwise the two armies would have to fight to find out he was one of his own, which would be really embarrassing. After the misunderstanding was resolved, Gong Xiqiu asked someone to send a message to Kang Shi, asking him to send someone to take over this batch of grain.
Only then did Xun Ding have the time to care about Gong Xiqiu's eyes.
"What's wrong with your eyes?" I was muttering in my heart, which guy is so powerful that he could blind this guy's eyes.
Gong Xiqiu raised his hand and stroked the cloth covering his eyes.
Use the calmest tone, pretending to be the most awesome: "What are you talking about, these eyes? When I was promoted to the sixteenth level, I encountered a little trouble and my eyes were temporarily blind."<
Xun Ding was calm on the surface, but in his heart he was so jealous that his facial features were deformed.
Gong Xiqiu was originally a stumbling block between him and Alai, but now not only has this stumbling block not been kicked away, but it has risen from the ground and turned into a high mountain and dangerous peak in front of him. He is angry!
As if he could see through Xun Ding's thoughts, Gong Xiqiu grinned, revealing two rows of neat white teeth. He really deserved a beating!
Xun Ding was so angry that he almost fainted on the spot.
Fortunately, Gong Xiqiu was not very interested in him.
His eyes were full of the other person, and he asked the leader of the team: "Why doesn't Mama come with you?"
Xun Zhen said: "My lord has other things to do."
Gong Xiqiu asked: "Is it safe?"
What should I do if the holy objects are running around outside and bump into each other?
Xun Zhen said: "It's naturally safe."
If something can happen to the master's configuration, there will be no safe place in the world. Even if it doesn't work, there is still prayer.
When Kang Shi learned that the remaining grain was on the way, he was so happy that he clapped his legs and laughed: "Who will blame me for this luck?"
Facts have proved that the smile will not disappear, but will only shift.
In the same way, luck is the same.
Kang Shi sent troops and horses to pick up the grain transport team. Except for Xun Ding's team, the remaining three teams were all expected to arrive, but the last one did not appear at the scheduled time. When the news came back to Chaoliguan, Kang Shi felt a thorn on the mat under his buttocks.
One word is like sitting on pins and needles.
He looked solemnly: "Why can't I receive it?"
Gong Xiqiu: "Is it delayed on the road?"
Because there is too much food in the Qianzhou granary and the transportation target is too large. Large and easily detected by enemies. Chu Yao and others then discussed dividing them into five routes, staying up day and night, and taking five different routes. After careful calculation of the marching time of the five teams, they should be able to arrive at the last route by nightfall today. The time difference will not exceed an hour, and now half a day has passed.
Xun Zhen: "Wu Hui is in charge of the last road."
Gong Xiqiu said: "If he is in charge, there will be no delay?"
The atmosphere in the hall was solemn.
Xun Ding whispered: "If we lose contact at this juncture, we must be in trouble, maybe even an enemy..."
An enemy who owns the national seal.
The broken sword that Zheng Qiao borrowed from Ning Yan is now in the hands of Chu Yao. This thing is a hot potato. Whichever hand it is placed in, the risk of encountering the enemy is greater. Chu Yao took this into consideration before finally setting off.
Kang Shi took a deep breath.
Some people don't dare to think about Chu Yao's situation.
If something happens to Chu Yao, the Lord will go crazy.
He asked Xun Zhen: "Hanzhang, could you please draw the marching route along Wuhui's route and arrange troops to search it."
Everyone would rather hope that Chu Yao met refugees along the way. No delay, and I don't want them to be unlucky enough to encounter a strong enemy. On that day, Shen Tang led his troops to attack Cunshan City. Most of the soldiers who were sent out were literati and scribes, while few brave warriors had high-end combat power.
According to what Xun Zhen and others said, the lord later took Wei Shou, Jiang Sheng and Ning Yan to Zheng Qiao to ask for his head. The combat power Chu Yao left along the way was even more pitiful. At this time, the troops were divided in order to transport food, and Chu Yao only had more than 2,000 troops.
More than two thousand people met the forces holding the national seal... Even if Chu Yaoluanxin and a few literati were defiant, they couldn't defeat them!
Kang Shi sent out manpower to search for the whereabouts of Chu Yao and others, and at the same time sent people to squat at the agreed location to guard Chu Yao's whereabouts.
Maybe Chu Yao was just delaying.
Chu Yao didn’t squat down, but the Lord did.
On the second day, Shen Tang and his party, dressed as refugees, passed by here and were stopped by a patrol shortly after.
"Who are you?"
When Shen Tang saw their flags and recognized them as his own soldiers and horses, he lowered his guard, raised his hand and lifted his bamboo hat with his fingers, revealed a smiling face, and said loudly: "Me? My surname is Shen, my given name is Tang, and my given name is Youli. Let your team lead us here."
Her face is quite recognizable.
The team leader hurriedly reported the news.
While waiting, Shen Tang also found out some news that Chaoliguan Pass had been occupied by her family, and her eyes lit up.
"Ji Shou can do it, this operation is awesome!"
Stabilize Chaoliguan, and the overall situation in the northwest can be determined!
On one side Qian Yong’s teeth were sore from hearing this.
Huang Lie and others planned hard, but they were finally picked up by her.
“Alas, time is also fate.”
As long as the big winner in the end is not Zhang Yongqing or Huang Lie, he can accept any cat or dog. But soon, Qian Yong keenly realized that something was not right about the atmosphere. He raised his hand and tugged on Shen Tang's sleeve and winked at her: "Something's wrong!"
Could it be that Chaoliguan was cheating?
(σ)σ:*☆
I know you have been scared of knives recently. Don’t worry, Wuhui’s side is safe and sound.
