A few days ago, a caravan went all the way north, heading straight from Dazhou to Youzhou.
After undergoing countless interrogations along the way, the caravan finally relied on enough silver and fine wine to pass through the southern part of Youzhou, where it was controlled by the Houjin Cavalry.
The bitter cold in Youzhou is far beyond that of the capital city of the Great Zhou Dynasty. At this moment, the Great Zhou Dynasty has entered the early summer season, but the cold wind is still biting in Youzhou, making people unable to help but wrap themselves in thick animal skins.
"Leader, how long will it take for us to reach Guyu Pass at such a slow pace?"
"I went over to visit a relative, and I've been gone for more than half a month!"
A thick-looking man held a straw in his mouth and said carelessly.
The leader of the caravan is a middle-aged man with dark skin and thin appearance.
At this moment, he looked depressed, as if he hadn't woken up, and had completely lost his fighting spirit.
"Go away, go away, you are such a jerk, you won't pick up any pot!"
"Do you know that something happened at Guyuguan!"
Hearing this, a gleam flashed in the man's eyes. But on the surface, he still pretended to be a simple and honest farm boy.
"What? Something happened at Guyu Pass?"
"No, I received a letter from my brother a few days ago."
"If you don't believe it, go see it yourself!"
The leader of the caravan snarled angrily, and then leaned limply on the carriage with a look of despair on his face.
These damn prairie barbarians are simply not the sons of men!
I made a desperate move and prepared to do something big, and sell some wine, salt and iron later.
It's a good thing now, before we even reach Hou Jin's territory, the goods have already been reduced by one-third.
Those late Jin people at the horse farm are simply not human beings!
It just happened that when I was in the worst mood, there was still a fool who insisted on coming to ask me.
If it wasn't because of the money he gave, who would take him with him?
"Okay, then I'll go over and take a look!"
The peasant man chuckled and scratched the back of his head innocently.
After buying a horse from the caravan leader, the farmer waved his whip and left the caravan alone.
His departure did not attract anyone's attention.
Because in this world of cannibalism, no one takes others to heart, and it is very difficult for everyone to live.
After about half a day, one person and one horse rushed to the outside of Guyu Pass.
The peasant man seemed to be prepared, and immediately took out a set of documents from the package behind his back.
However, what surprised him was that there was no guard outside the pass at this moment.
Strange, what is going on?
His eyes narrowed slightly, and his aura suddenly changed. A serious and solemn aura instantly emerged on him, which was in sharp contrast to the simple and honest appearance of the farm man before.
There is no one in Guyuguan!
Looking at the deserted Guyuguan, the peasant man felt a chill running down his spine.
What is going on here?
Where are the soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty guarding Guyu Pass?
Mingming General Yang Yan swore in his letter that Guyuguan Pass was still in the hands of the Zhou Dynasty.
It was precisely because of this that His Majesty directly transported the grain and grass there.
However, the situation before him stunned him.
In Guyuguan, there is no trace of the activities of Zhou soldiers at all!
Instead, various signs indicate that there should have been another group of people living here a few days ago.
According to some items left behind and a flag of the Qin Army's military system, it is obvious that the previous Guyuguan Pass was actually controlled by the Qin Army.
The peasant man frowned deeply. As one of His Majesty's most trusted spies, he seemed not as simple as he appeared.
However, even though he was used to strong winds and waves, he could only feel a chill on his back at this moment.
The Qin army actually occupied Guyuguan. He knew very well what this meant!
Guyuguan is the only way to connect the north and south of Youzhou. If something goes wrong here, the entire Youzhou will be completely out of Zhou's control.
Previously, the defense here had been under the responsibility of the Youzhou General Soldier. Later, after the invasion of Hou Jin Dynasty, the defenders of Youzhou were dispersed, but it was General Yang Yan who took action and captured this place.
But now it seems... things are not as simple as what General Yang Yan wrote in the document!
Suddenly a bold idea appeared in the farmer's mind.
The Qin army wanted to move into Youzhou, but with Pingzhou as a barrier in the middle, it was impossible to send a large army deep into it.
Otherwise, we only need to cut off its food and grass, and it will become a completely alone army.
But going deep alone is a taboo for military strategists!
Could it be that...the relationship between General Yang Yan and Da Qin is actually...
While he was thinking, a knife flashed in the corner of his eyes.
The peasant man who had experienced countless near-death encounters burst out with amazing fighting instincts at this moment.
His body reacted immediately and swerved to the right, avoiding the fatal blow.
But even so, the sharp blade still left a three-inch long gash on his back.
In an instant, a large amount of blood spurted out.
"Tsk, tsk, here comes another person who wants to die. It seems that the little emperor of Zhou is not a pure waste."
"But his actions were still a step too late after all."
"Come here, kill him!"
…
Because he was chased by Xichang all the way,
One-eyed dragon and his party have suffered a lot.
Although they did not reveal their identities, it became difficult to deliver news to Daqin along the way.
Fortunately, they finally left the border of Dazhou and entered the territory of Youzhou.
As we all know, Youzhou today is in the hands of the people of Hou Jin and Da Qin.
Even if Dazhou's secret agents want to continue the pursuit, they have to consider whether they will be exposed. Don’t forget that the Great Zhou Dynasty and Hou Jin Dynasty are still at war.
After entering the territory of Youzhou, One-Eyed Dragon took his subordinates and drove towards the horse farm for three consecutive days.
Finally, they got what they wanted and entered the territory of the horse farm. At the same time, he also completely escaped the pursuit of Da Zhou’s secret agents.
Youzhou, horse farm,
Originally, this place was the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but now it is Hou Jin's cavalry who are entrenched here.
"Who is this? This is our military base in the Houjin Dynasty. If there are any other people waiting, leave immediately!"
The Houjin guards guarding the door subconsciously clenched the saber at their waists and looked at the Cyclops and the others with vigilance.
But who would have expected that the one-eyed dragon did not panic at all, but took out a handful of broken silver from his arms with great familiarity and put it against it.
"Brother, I came here today to look for my brother Captain Liu. If it is convenient, I would like to ask you for a favor."
"If you have any doubts about our identity, you can go to Colonel Liu and ask him face to face. We are all honest people."
Hou Jin's guard weighed the pieces of silver in his hand, and a smile appeared on his face.
"It turns out he is one of our own. Please wait here for a moment while I go to report it."
Some people died, but not completely...
