"Your Majesty! I am willing to follow the Shi brothers to defeat the enemy!"
The man knelt on the ground, his eyes shining brightly, and said to Wang Kedong.
He is none other than Yuan Zhen, the current commander-in-chief of Jizhou.
"Yuan Zhen?"
Wang Ke frowned slightly and hesitated.
Although Yuan Zhen is not Luo Yi's pawn in Jizhou to suppress Wang Ke, although he has some abilities, his mentality is very mediocre, he can just muddle through, and he is not worthy of his big responsibility.
at this time.
Wang Ke was quite surprised when he saw him taking the initiative to ask for help.
I saw Wang Ke was silent.
Yuan Zhen felt a little anxious.
now.
There is a new owner taking over Jizhou City.
Judging from the situation, he is someone who cannot deal with the King of Peking.
How could he, Yuan Zhen, be so virtuous and capable that he dare to sit on the fence between these two people?
so.
Standing in Yuan Zhen's perspective.
He must defect to someone and submit a certificate of sufficient weight.
As for why not join Luo Yi?
That is naturally because Yuan Zhen has been here for many years and has long seen clearly Luo Yi's mentality - he only believes in his old brothers and does not believe in some of the military attachés who later defected to him.
then.
Yuan Zhen's best choice is Wang Ke.
Clarify the current situation.
Yuan Zhen walked a few steps, knelt down on the ground again, and said: "Your Majesty! I am sincere and willing to follow you, please accept me regardless of my past grudges!"
"Hey! What did General Yuan say? We are all officials of the Sui Dynasty. What do you say whether to follow or not? If you are willing to help the historian brothers, then go ahead! I will allocate you a thousand soldiers and horses to use with you. How about it? "
After a little thought.
Wang Ke decided to accept Yuan Zhen.
I don’t say how capable this person is, but I just say that he has been an official in Northern Xinjiang for so many years and naturally has some connections. If we accept him and set an example in the future, why worry about the heroes of the Northern Territory not coming to join us?
then.
Wang Ke showed a smile on his face and said to Yuan Zhen.
Yuan Zhen was overjoyed when he heard this. He immediately clasped his fists and said loudly: "Don't worry, my lord! The general will definitely capture the thieves and offer them to his subordinates!"
"Forget it! Each general will act according to the plan and must capture the bandits in one battle!"
Wang Ke nodded, stood up, waved his big hand, and said.
"The last general takes command!"
When the generals heard this, they held their heads high, held their fists and cupped their hands, and spoke loudly.
…
The next day.
Jizhou City looks calm on the outside.
But the city gate to the north slowly opened.
A convoy escorting a large amount of grain, grass and supplies moved forward along the straight road from the city gate, all the way north along the official road, towards the outside of the fortress.
This caravan is owned by the Shi brothers.
Because they lost their capital and could not go home, they borrowed a lot of money in Jizhou City and purchased a large amount of supplies and grain to prepare for escorting them to the north.
In the past few days, the Shi brothers were carefree, buying goods everywhere, and whether intentionally or unintentionally, they had already attracted the attention of interested people.
The entire journey was silent.
Another two or three days passed.
Brothers Shi Danai and Shi Dayi crossed the Great Wall and arrived beyond the Great Wall with more than two hundred new caravan guards they had recruited.
at this time.
The wind howls.
Shi Danai was holding a gold-backed machete and riding his horse forward. His eyes were blazing as he glanced around with great vigilance.
Probably because of the lesson he learned from being robbed last time, Shi Danai didn't wear cloth armor, but wore a set of iron armor, which looked majestic and murderous.
Another day of walking.
Braving the cold wind, the caravan climbed over the hills, turned northeast, and entered a long and narrow ancient official road.
Here is the black wind outlet!
Legend has it that this Black Fengkou official road was built by Sima Yi during the Cao Wei Dynasty.
He made a surprise attack on Gongsun Yuan, as if he sent a cavalry force to cross the Great Wall and march directly to Liaodong.
but.
Because the times are quite long ago.
There have been battles here for many years.
The black wind outlet slowly became deserted.
Although it is also an important junction point.
However, because of the desolate terrain, neither the Sui Dynasty nor the northern countries built passes here.
This day.
The cold moon is like a hook.
Shi Danai and others came to the back of a slope inside the Black Wind Pass.
It is backed by huge rocks and can withstand the cold wind blowing from the north.
Watching the temperature get colder and colder.
Shi Danai drank a few sips of strong wine, lit a bonfire, and arranged some patrols. He and his brother Shi Dayi returned to their tents to rest.
Little did I know.
At this moment.
In a sparse forest not far from the slope, a group of cavalry in black robes had quietly approached.
…
It didn't take long.
Dark clouds in the sky obscure the moonlight.
The time has also come to the third update.
The entire caravan of the Shi brothers gradually fell into silence, leaving only the crackling sound of the bonfire burning.
at the same time.
In the woods.
The mysterious black-robed cavalry slowly approached.
They seemed like a pack of wolves keeping an eye on their prey, revealing their sharp teeth at the right moment.
"kill!"
soon.
The cavalry approached the camp.
Following an order from one of them.
The people under his command drew out the scimitars from their waists, urged their horses to move, and like a black storm, they crashed into the caravan camp.
Rumble!
Rumble!
Rumble!
The sound of iron hooves suddenly started.
Rolling war horses roared towards us.
The horses dispersed the bonfire and headed directly towards the rear where the supplies were stored.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
Brothers Shi Danai and Shi Dayi's faces were ashen. They each rode war horses, held swords in hand, shouted loudly, and commanded the caravan guards to meet the enemy.
in.
With a golden-backed machete in the palm of his hand, Shi Danai swung his horse away and crashed into the enemy cavalry. The blade was like a horse, instantly cutting off several people and dismounting them.
call!
Just as he was advancing all the way.
I just felt a strong wind blowing from the back of my head.
He turned around suddenly, the long knife in his hand moved, and he steadily blocked Sen Leng's shot from behind.
"It's really you!"
See your opponent's weapon.
Stanai recognized the people who attacked him - this mysterious cavalry was indeed the alien cavalry he encountered before.
As the saying goes: Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.
Shi Danai roared angrily, swung his broadsword, whipped up strong winds, and blasted towards the leader of the black-robed cavalry.
The black-robed cavalry leader flipped the spike-toothed iron spear in his palm, pointing out the spear tip in succession. The spear tip surged wildly and collided heavily with Stanai's weapon.
This battle lasted until the two weapons were blazing with fire, and the fight lasted for more than twenty rounds, but there was still no difference.
but.
at this time.
The black-robed cavalry who had entered the camp aggressively to plunder supplies suddenly fell into chaos.
Immediately afterwards.
Several cavalrymen showed panic on their faces. They rushed to the leader and babbled for a long time.
The leader's expression suddenly changed.
"Hahaha! Who am I talking about! It turns out to be the Khitan cavalry! Was this robbery ordered by the leader of your family, Wang Xuba?"
Shi Danai lived in the frontier for a long time.
He knew a thing or two about the languages of various ethnic groups in the frontier fortress.
When these Khitan cavalrymen pretend to be mysterious alien soldiers and horses, they usually use secret words made up by themselves to confuse the public.
At this time, something unexpected happened to them, and the black-robed cavalry naturally spoke his native language in panic.
Since then, the identity of this group has been exposed.
