Liuyun County.
It is named after the mountain. Here is the most beautiful mountain in Yinshan County - Liuyun Mountain. It has many mountains, steaming clouds and beautiful clouds. Everyone who has climbed this mountain is impressed by its beauty.
After passing Liuyun County, there is Yanzhou, the border of Xia Kingdom. Although it is called a state, it is actually similar to a county in Dazhou.
After all, the Xia State was once subordinate to the Great Zhou, including the Zheng and Lu states to the north of the Great Zhou. The language and writing used were no different from those of the Great Zhou.
Of course, in order to make his country look "orthodox", the Xia Kingdom was different from the Zhou Dynasty in its regional administrative divisions. The Xia Kingdom had no counties, only states.
The total land of less than one-third of Dazhou is divided into twenty-eight states. There are three states bordering Dazhou, Liuzhou, Yanzhou, and Jizhou. Yanzhou is adjacent to Liuyun County in Yinshan County.
In the past ten years, because Zhou Zhaowu pursued a policy of rest and recuperation, there had been no large-scale conflicts between the two sides. Although Liuyun County was occasionally harassed by Xia soldiers, the overall situation was relatively stable.
In addition, the two countries trade with each other here, so it is not as depressed as ordinary border areas, but rather prosperous.
A corner of Liuyun Mountain.
It was early June, and the red sun hung over the mountainside. It was hot and dry in the city, but it was refreshing and refreshing down the mountain.
"Ta-ta! Ta-ta!"
Suddenly, there was a sound of horse hooves coming from the ground, and dozens of people were seen riding horses to the foot of the mountain.
The leader was twenty-three or four years old. He was wearing a black robe. His long black hair was held up by a leather hairpin. His complexion was white and rosy. His face was tough and angular. There was a bright red wound between his eyebrows, like an eye. , adding a bit of evil charm.
There followed a person on his left, also in his mid-twenties, wearing a green shirt, with a standard round face, a healthy wheat color, and thick and black eyebrows.
These two people are Wang Cheng and Zhu Pengfei.
Nourished by the huge medicinal power of the Great Return Pill, after more than ten days of cultivation, Zhu Pengfei had recovered as before.
Now, like Wang Cheng, he is working under Zhu Bangguo, and both hold the position of Army Sima.
His military commander is not a replacement for others. Zhu Bangguo still has a thousand soldiers under his command, but there has never been a military commander. On weekdays, Han Canjun helps manage the army, and his military commander fills this vacancy.
In fact, Zhu Pengfei originally came to Matou Town at the request of his father Zhu Pengguo to train in the army and become a famous general in the Great Zhou Dynasty in the future.
In the past, it would have taken some time for him to go from a white body to a military commander. Of course, Zhu Bangguo could operate in secret and directly promote him to the military commander, but that would inevitably attract public attention.
However, that night, he and Wang Cheng rushed together and killed dozens of Black Eagles. Their military exploits were already sufficient.
"Brother Wang, we have been chasing for several days, and we haven't even seen the hair of those summer dogs. Are we following the wrong direction?" Zhu Pengfei asked on his horse.
Wang Cheng frowned and said thoughtfully: "This possibility is unlikely. Those horse hoof prints on the road cannot be faked. They must have come in this direction."
He trusts his own judgment, or rather, he responds to his sense of smell and sight.
"But our speed is not slow, why can't we catch up with them?" Zhu Pengfei wondered.
Seeing that Zhu Pengfei still wanted to ask, he continued: "Nowadays, all the important roads leading to the west are blocked by heavy troops. If I were one of those people, I would definitely go to a place with fewer people."
"That's what I say, but you also know that those summer dogs are very smart. Who knows if these horse hoof prints were left deliberately to confuse us. They did the opposite and specifically picked places with many people to go to? Zhu Pengfei said.
"Doing the opposite?"
Wang Cheng was suddenly startled, and Zhu Pengfei's casual words woke him up like a bolt from the blue.
yes!
Everyone knows that the Black Hawk Army is difficult to kill, especially the hundreds or thousands of Black Hawk Army. Everyone also knows that the Black Hawk Army has a strong ability to enter the mountains. Once it enters the mountain, it is like a dragon entering the sea, and no one can catch it.
The Black Hawks themselves know this, but knowing this, will they still "knowingly"?
Thinking of this, Wang Cheng suddenly felt a layer of gloom in his heart, and said: "Let's go! Go to the city!"
At that moment, the two men led dozens of cavalrymen under their command and rushed towards Liuyun County.
A few minutes later, a village appeared in front of a group of people, just a few miles away from Liuyun Mountain.
Just when he was about to pass the village, Wang Cheng suddenly stopped, and everyone stopped with him.
"Brother Wang, why don't you leave?" Zhu Pengfei asked.
Wang Cheng stared at the village from a distance and said, "Have you noticed that there is something wrong with this village?"
"What's wrong?" Zhu Pengfei was curious.
Wang Cheng said: "At this time, we should have just had breakfast, and it is the time when we go out to work. But look at this field, you can see that the harvest is about to happen. There is no one there."
When Zhu Pengfei thought about it, it was true. It was only a few days before the sixth day of June, when the fields were busy. Everyone was eager to harvest, but there was no one in the field.
"Let's go! Go see the village!"
With a heavy heart, Wang Cheng turned around again and led the crowd towards the village.
The village is not big, with less than a hundred households. There is only a country path leading to the entrance of the village. On one side of the path is a canal, which is specially used for crop irrigation.
A group of people entered the village, but the sound of horse hooves did not disturb a single villager.
The doors of every house were open, but it was extremely quiet, not even the sound of roosters crowing or dogs barking.
Wang Cheng was riding on the sweaty BMW "Qing Lei", already holding the tiger-headed golden gun in his hand.
The knights following him were all on guard, staring sharply at the surroundings.
When passing by the door of a house, Wang Cheng jumped up from Qing Lei's back and landed in the courtyard.
After taking a few steps, he stopped again, and then walked out of the courtyard full of evil spirits.
Zhu Pengfei was startled by Wang Cheng's murderous appearance and asked, "What's going on inside?"
Wang Cheng gritted his teeth: "They are all dead!"
"Everything is dead?"
After asking this question, Zhu Pengfei suddenly thought of something, and immediately ordered his brothers: "You go to other people's houses and have a look! Be careful!"
Everyone immediately dispersed and went to other people's houses to investigate the situation.
Soon, a group of people came back again, all with murderous looks on their faces.
"What's going on?" Zhu Pengfei asked quickly.
"They are all dead! There are six members of the family, and no one survived, not even the children."
"Not only the children were spared? All the chickens and dogs were killed!"
…
Everyone told what they saw.
Although he had expected it, Zhu Pengfei still couldn't believe it and said to himself: "Did those summer dogs do it?"
"The wound was obviously caused by the Black Hawk Army's scimitar. I have fought with Summer Dog several times, so it must be them!" said one person.
"It was indeed done by the Black Hawk Army. Judging from the degree of rigor mortis, they should have done it three days ago."
The person who spoke was Wang Cheng. Although he did not enter the room to take a closer look, his clairvoyant eyes could clearly see the situation in the room.
"So, we are a step too late?" Zhu Pengfei said bitterly.
"It's not one step! It's a lot of steps too late!" Wang Cheng corrected him, feeling panicked.
He trusts his sense of smell and vision too much, but some things may not be true even if you see them with your own eyes.
"What a fool! These summer dogs are more cunning than wolves. They left horse hoof prints to lead us into the mountains. There is another group of people secretly killing people and setting fires under our noses!" Zhu Pengfei immediately analyzed the gangsters. Eagle Army's plan of action.
Wang Cheng nodded, and then secretly gave Zhu Pengfei a thumbs up.
As expected of Zhu Bangguo's biological son, he had a natural sense of war, so he quickly figured out that the Black Eagle soldiers were divided into two groups.
The crowd searched along the village for a while, but found no one alive.
Nearly a hundred families, hundreds of people, regardless of age or sex, even babies who were just a few days old, all died at home, with their heads placed on the table, as if the Black Hawk Army were mercilessly mocking them.
"What a bastard! These summer dogs are so fucking worse than beasts that they won't even let go of such a child!" Zhu Pengfei said with murderous intent all over his body.
"We must find them and kill these sons of bitches!"
"Kill these summer dogs! Revenge for the villagers!"
…
The brothers under his command were also murderous, not caring that their enemies were the most elite soldiers of the Xia Kingdom.
"Sneak into the territory of our Great Zhou and kill the people of our Great Zhou. If we don't destroy them, but let them escape, the face of our Great Zhou will be wiped out." Wang Cheng said solemnly.
"That's right! They are so arrogant. With only a thousand people, they turned the western side of the Great Zhou upside down and slaughtered so many people. To let them escape back to Xia Kingdom would be like slapping us in the face in front of everyone!"
Zhu Pengfei was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged, and said: "Damn it! No wonder General Song personally ordered that this group of people must be stopped no matter what, and they must be kept in our great Zhou Dynasty forever."
General Song is Song Huchen, the current General of the West. He commands an army of 50,000 and is stationed in Wuping County. He is responsible for the entire western defense line of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Zhonglang General Zhu Bangguo also received his general order, and then sent two more experts, Wang Cheng and Zhu Pengfei, to personally lead his most elite brothers to detect the traces of the Black Eagle Army.
So there was a scene where the two men led the elite cavalry to chase for many days and arrived here.
"Brother Wang, what should we do next?" Zhu Pengfei asked Wang Cheng's opinion.
Wang Cheng frowned and said nothing. Looking at it now, they all fell into the Black Hawk Army's scheme.
They were following the group of Black Eagles on horseback, but another group of Black Eagles were scattered in the heart of Yinshan County, escaping and killing people at the same time.
After thinking for a while, Wang Cheng said: "There are two ways, either continue to hunt down the Black Eagle Army that entered the mountains, or track down the Black Eagle Army that wandered around where the people live."
"There are no two ways. You have forgotten that my father's cavalry has been looking for them. I will send a message to my father now and ask the cavalry to surround and suppress the group of people who entered the mountain. Let's chase these people!" Zhu Pengfei was determined! road.
Wang Cheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he said in a deep voice: "If you don't tell me, I really forgot that your father's cavalry has not withdrawn."
