Going from Feicheng to Yuanyi, they must pass through Bairen County. Even though Zhang Qigong and Bei Gongyu were cautious, they were intercepted by a group of patrolling Korean sentries halfway. They inquired about the place very carefully.

During the interrogation, a black crow member named "Ghost" was offended. He showed a sharp dagger on the spot and stabbed to death the Korean soldier who looked bewildered in front of him.

As a result, Zhang Qigong sighed melancholy, and the forty green crows who followed him along the way started fighting, and in the blink of an eye, they killed the Korean patrol team of ten cavalry and ten infantry.

.

Not a single one is left.

"Why?"

Afterwards, with Bei Gongyu's helpless smile and shake of his head, Zhang Qigong spread his hands and asked the Green Crow ghosts who took the lead.

But the latter said angrily: "That bastard touched me here and there and dared to look at me sideways. Why can't I stab him to death?"

His words were recognized by all the black crows present.

"That makes so much sense... what the hell!"

Zhang Qigong gritted his teeth bitterly.

Fortunately, he has been commanding the Black Crows for several years, and he probably knows these rude and arrogant guys, so he is not as angry as he was in previous years.

He held back his anger and said: "Originally, as long as you guys just tolerated it a little longer, we could have fooled us... But now, how do you think we can deal with this?"

At the end of his words, he pointed to the corpses and blood on the ground.

Seeing this, the ghosts and the black crows present scratched their heads or looked up at the sky, as if Zhang Qigong was ignored - in fact, these people just didn't know how to remedy it.

Seeing this scene, Bei Gongyu smiled bitterly and smoothed things over and said: "Okay, okay, kill them all. It's too late to talk about this now... Fortunately, Yougui and the others still have a sense of proportion in their actions. You see, even the horses of these cavalrymen are...

Once it’s solved, Bairen County won’t immediately notice something is wrong.”

"You call this 'measured'?"

Zhang Qigong glanced at Bei Gongyu with a strange expression and cursed in his heart.

What he was most angry about was that they, the people pretending to be merchants, obviously only had five carriages full of goods, but when these bastards were killing people just now, they didn't even think of seizing horses to move around. This guy took out his sleeve arrows and swished.

, the one pulled out his dagger and chopped down both men and horses, hacking the ten Korean cavalrymen and horses to death.

This is really heartless!

But at this point, Zhang Qigong had no choice but to ask the Black Crows to clean up the scene - which wasted a lot of time for no reason.

After cleaning up the scene, Zhang Qigong immediately ordered everyone to go to Anyi. After all, if they didn't leave, Bairen County would definitely send someone to check what was going on when they noticed that there was a missing group of sentinels who had returned.

Can't take it off.

Just as Zhang Qigong expected, about half an hour after they left, a group of cavalry came from the direction of Bairen. There were more than a hundred cavalry, all of them were fully armored and had serious expressions. They were nearby.

A search was launched, and the bodies of twenty Korean soldiers who had been hidden by the Green Crows were finally found.

Fortunately, these more than a hundred cavalrymen later went in the wrong direction - they thought that these twenty Tongze soldiers were killed by the Wei army's sentry cavalry in the direction of Handan or Feicheng, so they rushed towards Handan to find the Wei army's sentry cavalry for revenge.

, so that within two days, fighting broke out again between sentries and cavalry on the border between Wei and South Korea.

To the north of Bairen is "Hào County". A few years ago, this was just an ordinary small county, but later with the construction of the "Wu'an-Bairen-Julu Defense Line", Hào County became

It became the back storehouse of this line of defense. Han General Le Yi specially reinforced the county town and piled up a lot of grain and grass in the city.

Because of this, the defense in the Ha County area is also extremely tight. According to the report from the Black Crows who inquired about the information in advance, there are two Korean military camps along the way from Bairen to Ha County, and three passes are all close to them.

It is built on a mountain and blocks the main road.

In view of this situation, Zhang Qigong finally decided to go west, bypassing Haxian County, and slowly head north along the Taihang Mountains in the west.

The advantage of being close to the Taihang Mountains and heading north is that you can avoid the Korean military sentry cavalry in time. Even if you encounter any danger, you can quickly escape into the Taihang Mountains. Anyway, Shangdang County on the other side of the Taihang Mountains is now the territory of the Wei State. Once the situation arises,

It became serious, and Zhang Qigong was able to use his identity as the right captain of Tiance Mansion to lead Wei General Jiang Bi to the Shangdang Army.

Of course, this is the worst case scenario.

In fact, Zhang Qigong's journey was relatively uneventful. Although he encountered several groups of patrol soldiers from the Korean army along the way, they either got through by luck, or these patrol soldiers were all slaughtered by the Qing Crows.

, destroying corpses and exterminating traces. In short, although Zhang Qigong was cautious along the way, he did not alarm the Korean army in the end - at most, some people thought that the Nanyan and Wei cavalry in Handan were so arrogant that it was a bit incredible, and they actually dared to rush through "Wu'an-

-Baren--Julu Defense Line" comes to harass, aren't you afraid of dying without a burial place?

As November approaches, the weather is getting colder, especially in South Korea. Heavy snow has gradually fallen from the sky, covering the ground with a layer of frost. This has made the journey of Zhang Qigong and his party a little more difficult. However, because of this, let

The number of patrolling Korean soldiers encountered along the way decreased by half.

All in all, on the fifth day of November, Zhang Qigong and his party finally arrived at "Yuanyi".

Yuanyi cannot be said to be the front line of confrontation or war between Wei and South Korea, unless Wei general Jiang Bi leads the Shangdang army to cross the Taihang Mountains and kill them. Therefore, the atmosphere in this county is not as tense as Handan, Wu'an, Feicheng, and Julu.

, the people in the county live and work in peace and contentment, with a somewhat peaceful atmosphere.

After entering the city, Zhang Qigong and Bei Gongyu found an inn to accommodate the accompanying Black Crows. They gave many instructions and warned the Black Crows under their command not to act arbitrarily, such as drawing swords against each other because something didn't go their way.

Don't do it.

After repeated warnings, Zhang Qigong and Bei Gongyu left the inn and went to the residence of Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi.

At the same time, Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, had just returned from the military camp outside the city and returned to his mansion with a dark face.

Compared with Han Lin, the eldest son of Kanggong Han Hu, Han Pu, the Hou of Yuanyi, as the nephew of the former, is much more outstanding than Han Lin. He can be called a brave and strategic general. Because of this, he has done some things.

I didn't dare to act rashly.

For example, he had a conflict with the general "Li Chu" stationed in Yi'an County.

This Li Chu was specially sent by Jicheng to suppress him. The reason was because of the duties shouldered by Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi.

I remember that at that time, because of the care of my uncle Kang Gong Han Hu, Yuanyi Marquis Han Pu managed to be transferred to "Jingjingguan" for his uncle after several years of experience under his uncle's command, which contacted Yanmen, Taiyuan and Handan counties in the Taihang Mountains.

One of the important mountain passes, this is a fat gap with a lot of oil and water.

If nothing else, let's just say that when Baoyuan formed the Handan Army's cavalry battalion, Handan, the capital of South Korea at that time, asked Yanmen County and Taiyuan County to transport war horses. At that time, Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, took the opportunity to intercept part of it and allocate it to himself.

private soldiers - in fact, most of them were troops stationed at Jingjing Pass, but at that time these troops were not much different from Han Pu's private soldiers - after all, his uncle Kang Gong Han Hu was extremely powerful in the DPRK.

, no one dares to accuse him of anything.

However, since Kang Gong Han Hu passed away, life for Han Pu, Marquis of Yuanyi, gradually became difficult.

Especially in the past few years, Jicheng sent Li Chu to take "Jingjing Pass" away from Han Pu. Han Pu was cut off from his financial resources and could only guard Yuanyi.

——Even for this fiefdom, he couldn't tell when it would be taken away.

Recently, Li Chu has gradually intensified his efforts. On the grounds that he needs troops on the front line, he attempts to evade Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, and take away his troops. This is the lifeblood of Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi. How can he give it up?

All in all, Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, has been having a very unpleasant time recently.

I remember that on the way back to the city, Han Pu's bodyguard suggested to him: "Why don't we try to get rid of Li Chu."

I have to say that this suggestion is quite tempting, but Han Pu only dares to think about it in his mind to enjoy it.

The reason is very simple, so who is Li Chu? He is just a small person. The real mastermind is Jicheng, the capital of the capital. He is the one who once promised not to blame Kang Gong and Han Hu and his family, but privately he is seizing power.

That monarch.

If Han Pu really kills Li Chu, this will win over the monarch's heart and he can be labeled as a traitor.

It has to be said that facing such an opponent, Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, was also a little confused.

After returning to his mansion, Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, unexpectedly saw his old disciple Zhenghou outside the mansion, so he got off his horse, handed the reins to his guard, and asked curiously: "Old Fang, what are you doing outside the mansion?"

What’s up?”

This old disciple named Fang was once a soldier under Kang Gong Han Hu. Later, after he retired from the army due to old age, he was transferred to the house of Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, as a guard to guard the house. He can be called a soldier.

Close friends.

"Junhou."

The old disciple took a look around, stepped forward, and whispered to Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, "We have a visitor from afar."

After that, he took out a greeting card from his arms. Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, clearly saw that the word "Feng" was written on the signature of the greeting card.

Han Pu, Marquis of Yuanyi, did not have many or few friends, but he only had one guest named Feng, namely Feng Zhu, a Wei businessman who was killed by the local Korean army in Xiaquyang and Yi'an a while ago.

In fact, strictly speaking, Yuanyi Hou Hanpu and Feng Zhu are not friends, but it is undeniable that they have had some transactions, as long as it is smuggling - because of Feng Zhu's relationship, even in the confrontation between Wei and South Korea

Despite the general environment, Yuanyi Hou Hanpu still sold his local specialties to Wei State, and the sales were quite good, allowing Yuanyi Hou Hanpu to make a lot of money, which largely made up for the loss after losing the Jingjing Pass.

Therefore, after going back and forth, Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, and Feng Zhu, a Wei merchant, became familiar with each other.

It's a pity that last year, Wei Shang was too noisy in Qi State and in Handan and Julu counties, forcing him to break up in South Korea. In this incident, Wei Shang Feng Zhu was also executed by the local army in South Korea.

Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, lost another way of making money.

After receiving the greeting letter marked with the word Feng, Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, pondered for a moment and asked the old disciple: "Where is it?"

"We have been led to the prince's study." The old disciple lowered his voice and said, "There are five people in total. The first two are thin and frail, and they talk in a refined manner. They seem to be scholars, and they look very unusual. The other three

He is a tall and thick man with a fierce look in his eyes. If he is not from the military, he is a desperado..."

Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi, nodded, called the guards, and walked straight towards the study room in the mansion.

When he came to the study, he saw two rather thin men sitting in the study. As for the other three rough men, they were curiously looking at the furnishings in the study, so they provoked one of the thin men to yell.

rebuke.
