Chapter 25, so it is

The mountain nest was in a mess, several clusters of fire swayed, and the sound of killing had already weakened a lot, leaving only some scattered crying and howling. Whether it is the silted ground, leafy forests, or cold rocks in the whole warring area, there are traces of blood. There was a bad smell floating in the air, and many captured yellow scarf thieves knelt aside and vomited by the smell around them.

Zhou Zhi is sending people to count the number of people under his command, and at the same time, he is re-collecting the horses, armaments and the few materials he brought.

Some of the people in Zuling are still chasing the fleeing thieves in the deep mountains, but they should be going back now, while others are clearing the battlefield, guarding prisoners, and treating the wounded.

After about a quarter of an hour, the earlier chaotic situation gradually became orderly.

Zuling bandaged a wound on his shoulder, which was just a skin injury and was fine. Immediately, he passed through the people coming and going and found Zhou Zhi's side. Zhou Zhi was bending down to pick up a long knife from the ground, then inserted the long knife upside down into the soil and sighed slowly.

Zhou Zhi looked back at Zuling and gradually restrained the grief on his face. He asked, "Zu Zhuangshi, how dare you ask where your eldest son is now? How many people can help now?

Zuling said, "My eldest son did not go with him. Now he is stationed near Yunli Township. We have made a total of more than 1,500 people in the three counties of Yiyong, including Xu Wuxian. Only 400 people were brought on this trip, most of whom were brothers from Jun Mi County.

While talking, a strong man came from behind and stopped in front of them. He jumped off the horse's back and bowed his fist to Zhou Zhi.

Zu Ling introduced to Zhou Zhi, "Lord Zhou, this is Lord Kui Ankui, the lieutenant of Jun Mi County."

Zhou Zhi took a closer look at Kui'an, and his face was immediately relieved. He hurriedly said, "It turned out to be Kui Ziyu." As a northern lieutenant, he often rectified defense in the counties in the north of the county. Naturally, he knows the lieutenants in the counties in the north of the county.

Kui'an sighed, "It's right. Lord Zhou is tired.

Zhou Zhi gradually became clear, and his heart was also full of excitement. The county government has been trapped for more than ten days. The counties in the north of the county have not retreated as long as the city guessed, but have been trying to find ways to meet the county government. How can such intentions not make people feel comfortable? He nodded solemnly, patted Kui'an on the shoulder with only the rest of his right hand, and said, "Ziyu, I'm really sorry to trouble you. And Zu Zhuangshi, who will not die in this disaster, rely on your heroic actions.

Kui'an hurriedly said, "Wherever, the county is in trouble. It's our duty to apply for help."

Zhou Zhi slowly nod, but his mind quickly became heavy again. He said, "It's just that the current situation in the county is really beyond imagination. The thief is so powerful that the county is weak, and the future has to be worrying."

After he finished speaking, his emotions touched him and couldn't help lowering his head and sighing.

Kuian and Zuling looked at each other, and their faces gradually became more happy. Kuian immediately said, "Your excellency doesn't know. Mr. Zu sent us to try to climb over the mountain into the city this time to tell the county government a great good news."

Zhou Zhiyu frowned slightly and asked urgently, "What kind of good news is it?"

Kui'an smiled and said, "Three days ago, Mr. Zu led the righteous bravery of the counties in the north of our county and attacked Xiyang County. He not only took Xiyang County back in one fell swoop, but also killed the thief chief Zhang Wan.

In more than a month of trouble, Zhou Zhi really hopes to have good news to ease his tense nerves. How can I know that the good news from Kui'an at this time was such shocking and inspiring news. He was stunned for a moment, and finally recovered and asked, "Zhang Wan? Are you talking about Changcheng thief chief Zhang Wan? Do you take this seriously?

Zuring said solemnly, "How dare we talk nonsense about such a big thing? Lord Zhou, don't worry, Zhang Wan's head is now in Yunli Township, and it can't be wrong. Xiyang County is also temporarily taken over by the local three elders. Zhang Wan's remnants can't become an army, and it is no longer a climate.

Zhou Zhi was very excited and said with emotion, "Is there such a good thing?"

Kui'an continued: "It all depends on the great man's clever calculation. Taking advantage of the spare time of the division of Xiyang County to surround the county, he decisively sent strange soldiers to attack the sunset. Humph, Zhang played with the thief and sang and danced all day long after capturing the sunset. Not only did he not repair the city, but he also harmed the fish and the people, which had already made people lose their hearts. When Mr. Zu led the rebels to kill, not only the local people responded, but also many traitors turned against each other. It's really gratifying."

Zhou Zhi pulled Kui'an to find a tree stump and sit down, asking Kui'an and Zuling to elaborate on the situation of Beiyiyong in the county a few days ago. Kui'an and Zuling saw that they were still waiting to deal with the aftermath, not to mention that all the people who chased the remnants had not come back, so they simply took a rest and talked about the whole matter over and over again.

It turned out that since Zu Zhao led Xu Wuxian Yiyong to arrive at the county seat, as Wuyi Yong said, the county government city was surrounded by the yellow scarf army and Zhang Wan rebels and could not enter the city at all. However, even so, Zu Zhao did not retreat like Wuyi County. He took people to wait for the opportunity to launch a raid from behind the enemy, hoping to find flaws from the rear of the besieged thieves. However, in such a process, he soon met Yiyong of Junm County in the suburbs of Northeast China.

Yiyong of Jun Mi County came several days earlier than Zu Zhao and his party. Fortunately, Kui'an was not a greedy person who was afraid of death. Although he failed to launch an attack these days, he did not choose to retreat inaction. When the two people meet together, they can also find a helper who can help each other in trouble, at least they are psychologically encouraged.

The two volunteer teams had the same idea at first, hoping to find a way to rush into the city from the rear.

However, Zu Zhao then made a serious thought, believing that the total number of the two volunteer teams now has more than 800, and the goal is naturally not small. Once the raid from the rear cannot be successful, it will soon expose himself and be chased by the thieves. Not only that, even if all this is not included, what can happen after nearly 1,000 people enter the county? Obviously, the county government is not less than 1,000 people, and there are rumors that the food in the city is not good, but I'm afraid that the food will increase by 1,000 people will make the situation in the city worse.

After some discussion, Zu Zhao proposed that the solution was to rob the rebels' grain channels or find ways to destroy the camp where the rebels stored grain and fodder. This is the most effective way to be small and broad. Most of the people agreed with this proposal, but when they were planning a specific offensive plan, they suddenly received an important piece of information from the scouts sent earlier by Zu Zhao, that is, they learned that Zhang Wan in Xiyang County had assigned nearly 4,000 troops to assist the Yellow Turban Army in besieging the county government.

After getting the news, Zu Zhao made a quick decision and decided to run directly to the sunset and take advantage of it. As the saying goes, the plan to besiege Wei to save Zhao and attack the east and west is less risky than robbing the rebel's food lane. At the same time, if it can be successfully recaptured, it can still bring morale and confidence to the whole county.

Although Kui An was worried at that time, he had already had the determination to die in battle, so he did not say anything.

On the way out, the team happened to meet another hero from Tuyin. The whole county of Tuyin County is sparsely populated and has a limited population, so there are not many volunteers. They also went to the county government a few days earlier, and later found that the county government was under siege, so they retreated to some places closer to Tuyin County to walk and watch. I happened to meet Zu Zhao, Kui'an and others who passed by here.

Yiyong of the three counties immediately merged into a team and temporarily followed Zu Zhao's suggestion to surprise the sunset.

In the evening four days ago, the righteous bravery of the three counties took advantage of the wind and waves to defeat Zhang Wan's rebels stationed in the sunset in just one night, killed nearly 500 enemies, and killed Zhang Wan, who was on the run in chaos. He stayed in Xiyang County for two days. On the one hand, he left Zhang Wan in Xiyang County to supplement the military resources of the three counties. On the other hand, he also recruited some soldiers in Xiyang County, and adapted some manpower from the prisoners. In addition to the combat losses, there are more than 1,200 people.

From the third day, Zu Zhao sent people to bring Zhang Wan's head to the counties in the north of the county to see it to inspire people.

Later, after Zu Zhao returned to the county from Xiyang County, Gao Huan, a person from the county who had no end, brought more than 200 volunteers from the county to join him.

After quarreling with his brother Gao Hai, Gao Yu took out this group of people without authorization in anger. Fortunately, these brothers are shameful heroes. They don't want all counties in the north of the county to contribute, but there is no final male turtle huddled at home.

After gathering this force of more than 4,000 people, Zu Zhao decided to officially launch a sneak attack from behind the besieged thieves. However, in the process of the sneak attack, the county government was also needed to cooperate fully in order to win more. Therefore, after exploring that the northwest mountains could pass through the city, he sent Zuling and Kui'an to lead more than 400 people to try to climb over the mountain into the city.

"Originally, we also heard that the bandits were stationed outside Shanyang, and we thought that there would inevitably be a fierce battle. But in any case, we have to tear a door and go to the city to report the news. How do we know that we came all the way and first broke through a small town where bandits gathered outside Shanyang. How can we know that there are not many bandits in the town at all? Most of the locals who were stationed in the town during the day went into the mountains, and they don't know what they were going to do!" After Kuian elaborated on what had happened in the past few days, Zuling added.

"Yes, we are all puzzled. Well, after entering the mountain, I walked all the way here, but I met those thieves who ambushed Lord Zhou here. It's really strange. How did these thieves know in advance that Lord Zhou was going to break out? Kui'an asked.
