Gao Yangyi didn't know who these people were, but as these battles similar to those between armies suddenly occurred in this remote place, he knew that this was not just a matter of dealing with individuals.
It can be said that these places are hardly populated within a radius of dozens of miles. Wherever Gao Yangyi passed along the way, it can be said that they are all barbaric lands in Western Chu. In this era, there have been constant conquests, and the Chu region has been sparsely populated since the last years of Ma Chu. It is still a bit surprising and strange for a group of people to suddenly appear in this wilderness.
Both sides must have a plan, otherwise they would not meet in such a place. Looking at the current situation, Gao Yangyi vaguely guessed that one side must have been ambushed by the other side, and the other side wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to catch the other side.
Gao Yanghui was also very curious in her heart. She occasionally went out to do things. Although she was too lazy to care about the changes in world affairs, she was in Sizhou City between Chudi and Shuzhong. Naturally, she was interested in what happened in Shuzhong and Chudi. You will still hear a little bit about it.
Guo Jing was widely rumored in the market and the world. She had heard the name of King Xiangxi of the Chu Land, and she must have thought that he was a tycoon who took advantage of the situation and had some luck in his heart. When he saw this person face to face, Ren Shigao Yangyi had a lot of experience. He was surprised that he did not expect Guo Jing to be so young.
Seeing him surrounded by the other party, with less than half the number of people, he still stood there unmoved. Gao Yangyi was quite surprised and curious about this young man's calmness and composure, and he became very interested in this young man who had just grown up.
Of course, what surprised Gao Yangyi even more was that among the people present, there seemed to be no masters. They must be the troops between the feudal forces. But after some searching, Gao Yangyi discovered that there were two good people who had almost escaped his eyes and ears. Gao Yangyi was extremely confident in his own cultivation. He didn't expect to meet such a person, so he couldn't help but pay attention.
For masters in the arena, this inner self-esteem conflict seems to be natural. Although neither opponent's skills were stronger than his own, they were both able to hide their attacks from his own eyes and ears, which still surprised Gao Yangyi.
Gao Yangyi couldn't help but frown slightly as he counted the legends he had encountered in his life. He couldn't remember such a figure in the world. I vaguely remembered that I seemed to have heard someone say that there was someone similar to him, but I couldn't remember where I had heard of such a person.
The world is so big and full of wonders!
One of them was standing on the left side of Guo Jing. Like the people around him, they were all wearing grass-green cloth. But the head is covered with a surprising green cloth hat mixed with leaf ash. Except for Guo Jing, there are dozens of other cloth hats that are the same. They look ordinary and nothing surprising.
However, he was always next to Guo Jing. Although he seemed to be inadvertent, Gao Yangyi could see that the position he stood in was very particular, and he was in the best position to protect Guo Jing. A smile appeared on Gao Yangyi's face. This man was indeed a master.
The location where Guo Jing led his people should be between Xuzhou, Jingzhou and Shaozhou, where barbarians and Han people lived together. Starting from April, Chu Di, under the leadership of Guo Jing, created obstacles for Zhou Xingfeng everywhere. Of course, Guo Jing also gained a lot of benefits.
That is, he was able to control the actual power of many states and counties within the large area of the Chu Xipeng family with ease. Just like Xuzhou was captured by Guo Jing, it now truly belongs to the base area established by Guo Jing. Zhou Xingfeng was beyond his reach, and the turmoil in Langzhou alone was enough for him to drink.
When the Ma family was in the hands of the Ma family, the barbarians around Yunnan and Guizhou flocked to it one after another. In the later stages of the Ma family's defeat, the successive military governors who took over no longer had the courage to let the barbarians follow. Jingzhou became the state capital that later generations of Jiedu envoys had a headache for. It not only had the power of the Tian family of the old Wuxi clan, but also the prestige of the nominally upstart Peng family. It also had the unwilling envoys of the past dynasties who sent people to enter.
The chiefs of the Yin family of Duyun and the chiefs of the Zhang family of Zangda became independent from Jingzhou. Sometimes they followed Dali, sometimes they went their own way, and Chu was no longer able to govern. As a buffer, Jingzhou was not only the gateway for the barbarians to mingle in the Chu region, but also the place where the Chu region learned about the barbarians. Since then, Shaozhou and Yongzhou have been on guard against the barbarians.
Although Yongzhou City is the largest state capital in the western part of the Chu region, it has been placed under the jurisdiction of Hengzhou since Zhou Xingfeng came to power, because Hengzhou has Zhang Wenbiao whom he can feel more at ease with. As for Shaozhou, which is connected to the Xiangjiang River, because it originally belonged to the central area of the Chu region, there had never been any major wars, and Zhou Xingfeng did not pay much attention to it.
Zhou Xingfeng usually did not arrange any important generals to be stationed there. Although there were two to three thousand soldiers, to be honest, it was just to intimidate Xiao Xiao. At the beginning of the year, Zhang Wenbiao of Hengzhou was in urgent need of border affairs. In April, the situation turned serious, and Zhou Xingfeng sent Pan Song, who knew the affairs of Tanzhou. Before the general Pan Song sent by Zhou Xingfeng arrived, Shaozhou was also captured by Guo Jing's men.
Although Zhou Xingfeng is said to be as famous as Guo Queer and Guo Wei, since he took charge of the Chu land, Chu land has not had many talents. In desperation, most of the generals who were sent to garrison in various state capitals were from the tattoo capital where they were originally pro-army.
This Pan Song was a general in Taimiandu. He was not only loyal but also had some abilities of his own. He was originally sent by Zhou Xingfeng to defend Tanzhou against the Southern Tang army. Shaozhou is where all the central defenses are located, and Zhou Xingfeng was afraid that Zhang Wenbiao's family would be dominant, so he hurriedly sent him here to provide emergency response.
However, this Pan Song led 30,000 elites to set off from Tanzhou in a mighty manner, carrying power and procrastination all the way, which took a lot of time. Guo Jing's generals are all people who came from the Dongguan Military Academy of Prince Xing's Mansion, and they all have somewhat arbitrary decision-making abilities. Knowing that only with their short-term advantage, they could not hold Shaozhou in the short term, so they had to withdraw from Shaozhou City.
Although they were withdrawing from Shaozhou City, Guo Jing either hid or took away all the available materials. He also set up many agencies and traps, leaving a big hole for Pan Song.
Sure enough, when Pan Song first arrived in Shaozhou, he lost many ships and soldiers on the waterway. This Pan Song was indeed a figure, and he immediately made emergency changes and surrounded Shaozhou City. I originally thought that I would be successful if I entered Shaozhou City, but who knew there was a greater threat waiting in the city.
All kinds of cold arrow traps are really hard to prevent and take the lives of Chu soldiers. From landing in Shaozhou to occupying Shaozhou City, Pan Song suffered a fatal blow. He actually lost no less than 3,000 soldiers in a short period of time, which greatly damaged the morale of the soldiers.
After being entrusted by Zhou Xingfeng to capture Shaozhou, Pan Song lost a large number of soldiers and was inevitably very resentful. While each large county sent at least 3,000 soldiers to clear out local bandits and dissidents, they also wanted to contact Hengzhou Governor Zhang Wenbiao in order to outflank Guo Jing, who was said to be operating in Xianzhou and Xuzhou.
It can be said that these soldiers sent out were numerous in numbers and well-equipped with weapons. For a while, they fled everywhere and no one was captured. However, these soldiers could not retreat for a while, because as soon as they exited the county government, someone would attack from the other side. Going back and forth was too much trouble, so Pan Song simply temporarily stationed troops in each county. Although it seemed to stabilize the situation, it also dragged away nearly 15,000 of his troops.
In fact, Pan Song was not very good at governing. After all, he was just a young general in Taimiandu. He was able to rise to prominence only because Zhou Xingfeng had no one under his command, so he had to send in the loyal bodyguards around him.
The anger of being harassed in his heart made him even more unwilling to listen to other people's ideas. He only wanted to complete the tasks assigned by Zhou Xingfeng and carry out bloody suppression vigorously and resolutely. The measure is to have the garrison in various places search for suspicious people and kill them indiscriminately to set a tone for others.
Suddenly, because of his arrival, a bloody storm broke out in various places under the jurisdiction of the county governments in Shaozhou. Although it seemed to temporarily frighten the people, it actually made people everywhere feel disgusted. Even many large and small families everywhere were inevitably affected by it. On the surface, he didn't dare to disobey or go out of his way, but in fact, he received support and contact one after another. Guo Jing sent people everywhere to protect him.
Although Pan Song did not gain a good reputation in Shaozhou, he became a thorn in the eyes of the people. In addition, people from the Guo Jing sect in various places were very good at propaganda. They used Pan Song's cruelty to spread articles and actually brought down the people who came to Shaozhou. People who are born in the moon have the reputation of Pan Butcher.
Ordinary people are not familiar with Pan Song. They don't care who governs Shaozhou. What they care about is whether their lives will be stable and peaceful. However, under the vigorous propaganda of Guo Jing's people, he became a heinous devil. In addition, Pan Song had been in Shaozhou for a very short time and had no chance to establish his prestige and win over the local families. Naturally, there was a lot of opposition to Pan Song.
Of course Pan Song doesn't care what others think of him, as long as Guo Jing, the big bandit in Chuxi, doesn't cause trouble. And not long after, a secret order was received saying that there was a siege riot in Hengzhou, and it was said that Daozhou City, the gateway, had fallen.
A series of things followed, and Pan Song not only felt a lot of pressure, but also had to join forces with Zhang Wenbiao to deal with Guo Jing, the bandit leader, and to take advantage of the situation without leaving a trace, and to take advantage of the situation by the barbarians who controlled Chuxi.
However, with his arrival, he saw that the situation was indeed difficult to control. The first thing he did was to clean up Shaozhou City. This was also a very cruel move. Many of those left behind in Shaozhou City, who belonged to Guo Jing's secret party, were the first to suffer.
Pan Song's men were not that kind of righteous men. There were also some who took advantage of the situation and harmed the interests of some big local families. Naturally, it made the situation more difficult to control for a while. As a result, although Pan Song was stationed in Shaozhou City, he did not completely control the situation in Shaozhou.
In addition, Guo Jing took the opportunity to take advantage of Pan Song's actions and let some secret parties confuse Shaozhou City. He transformed into a person disguised as Pan Song, used counterintuitive tactics, and took the opportunity to punish several families with extremely bad reputations. Sure enough, it made the big family in Shaozhou even more uneasy. Everyone was in danger and avoided Pan Song.
After Pan Song knew the reason, he was not stupid and quickly figured out the reason. Naturally, he was furious, but he had no way to deal with Guo Jing, who didn't know where he was. However, he continued to brutally suppress some people in Shaozhou City, and also captured many people who followed Guo Jing, and the owl's head was displayed on the city tower.
Of course, this ambush was an unexpected event and an inevitable event. Previously, Pan Song accidentally captured a person. This person was an official appointed by Guo Jing to manage Shaozhou after the people sent by Guo Jing occupied Shaozhou.
This man was a descendant of the Cai family, a wealthy family in Shaozhou. Due to some personal reasons, he was persecuted and suppressed by the officials who were in charge of Shaozhou at the time. In the end, he was rescued by Guo Jing's people and defected to Guo Jing's side.
He had received great favor from Guo Jing, and he had done several things that were beneficial to Guo Jing's development in Chu. Guo Jing originally thought he was a trustworthy talent, and after exploring several opportunities, he found that this person was more trustworthy. Unexpectedly, Guo Jing was ambushed this time.
This son of the Cai family was named Cai Bao. After being searched out by Pan Song that day, he failed to withstand Pan Song's severe torture and torture. You must know that Pan Song was born in Tuomian City, and there are thousands of ways to torture people, but Cai Bao can be said to be worse than death. Even when Pan Song captured his tribe and came to threaten him, he finally compromised in front of Pan Song.
Pan Song used Cai Bao, the chief minister of Shaozhou appointed by Guo Jing himself, to find him through secret party members who did not know the situation in Shaozhou and lied to Guo Jing about the military situation, saying that Pan Song had less than 10,000 soldiers around him and that Shaozhou City was on guard. relaxation.
Guo Jing came to Shaozhou not to celebrate his achievements, but because the secret party organization in Shaozhou City was almost bloodbathed by Pan Song. Guo Jing had no idea about the current situation in Shaozhou City. For the importance of Shaozhou City and the reconstruction of the secret party in the central area of Chu, Guo Jing I decided to bring people here to find out the truth in person.
This Cai Bao is really an actor. In order to make Guo Jing believe in him, he tried his best to persuade Guo Jing that although the original 30,000 troops in Shaozhou City were scattered, after all, his troops were limited, and Pan Song still had nearly 10,000 people stationed there. , everyone must be careful not to fall into Pan Song’s scheme. To persuade Guo Jing not to take the initiative to attack Shaozhou City, he could only go by surprise and attack Pan Song severely at the critical moment.
Because several children of the Cai family were still being trained by Guo Jing, and they all had outstanding achievements. Cai Bao himself had done several great things, and Guo Jing really believed Cai Bao's words.
After careful planning, Guo Jing took charge of Xuzhou from Xianzhou and personally deployed the plan to drive Pan Song out of Shaozhou again. In addition, the operations in various places in Chu District are in full swing under Guo Jing's arrangement. Reliable intelligence was also received from the front. The army led by the Han general He Xiaoyao swept away fallen leaves like the autumn wind. After attacking Daozhou City, they occupied Yongzhou City. He completely held back Zhang Wenbiao in Hengzhou and cut off the threat of joint siege.
The emperor sent an urgent message and asked Guo Jing to cooperate with He Xiaoyao. After occupying Shaozhou, he immediately turned around and headed for Hengzhou. Because the emperor's intention was to counterattack Zhang Wenbiao and let the Han army swallow Hengzhou in one fell swoop.
Guo Jing really felt that the opportunity had come, not to mention that he still had a mission. After some planning, he personally took action and decided to come to Shaozhou to attack Pan Song's men.
Cai Bao knew that Guo Jing was really coming, so he naturally tried his best to send the news to the people who were following him and sent by Pan Song to handle the planning. Pan Song secretly created an illusion in advance, pretending that he was going to inspect this place, and he did not bring many troops with him. Then he lured Guo Jing to come to Shaozhou, but Pan Song successfully set up an ambush halfway.
Guo Jing did have a master protecting him. Although he came to Shaozhou City to take charge of the work, he believed Cai Bao's words. However, after a short period of experience, he was thinking and thinking that Cai Bao could not think of.
What's more, today is different from the past. He is in charge of the entire work of Chu Di, so naturally he will not easily joke about his own danger. Even if all the plans are successful, he still has a backup plan.
Liu Jixing reminded him repeatedly that he could not neglect or relax safety at any time. It was because of this advantage that he could develop faster and faster in Chudi. On the surface, this operation seemed to be carried out by him personally, but in fact, while he came in person, he also arranged for a team to set off for Shaozhou City early.
It wasn't that he didn't trust Cai Baohe and had concerns, but that he didn't want to give Pan Song any chance from the beginning. His major action decisions were always not known to the people closest to him except for the executors.
This is what Liu Jixing taught him about the importance of confidentiality when performing tasks, so even Cai Bao didn't know that although Guo Jing was fooled, Guo Jing had additional plans.
And the master who protects him next to him is naturally Zheng Tuo, the King of Hundred Poisons sent by Liu Jixing to protect him.
Zheng Tuo was one of the four heavenly kings of the Eight Kingdoms of Zhongtian that day. Several people followed the Yongle King Zhang Yuxian to found the Eight Kingdoms of Zhongtian. He was not only the famous Baidu King in the world, but also a legendary figure on the battlefield. Naturally, he knew everything about marching and fighting, and his help to Guo Jing was of course self-evident.
Watching Guo Jing transform from a weak scholar to a single-handedly commanding general, he was even ordered to become a prince. Although Zheng Tuo was filled with emotion, he also highly praised Guo Jing's ability to draw inferences from one example and learn from others.
He was even more convinced by Liu Jixing, who had devoted all his efforts to cultivate Guo Jing. He never thought that this young emperor would have such ability and courage. Sometimes Zheng Tuo often looks at himself and sighs, and can only lament that the Liu family has continued to have good luck. After Liu Yan, another person with unique talents has emerged.
Although he does not interfere with what Guo Jing does, let alone advise Guo Jing on how to operate, he still carries out the task of conscious protection. But when Guo Jing first came to Chu, he received face-to-face instructions from Shi Wu and Yang Jiong, so he would naturally ask Zheng Tuo for advice.
Zheng Tuo is not stingy with what he has learned. He knows that his identity will be known to Guo Jing sooner or later. Seeing that Guo Jing respects him a lot, he will speak out his ideas at the appropriate time for Guo Jing to refer to and implement.
It can be said that in Guo Jing's heart, he has always regarded Zheng Tuo as both a teacher and a friend.
With Gao Yangyi's perception, he locked onto Zheng Tuo and was certain of his existence. This man was so good at disguise, not only that ordinary people couldn't detect his existence and power, but even Gao Yangyi almost ignored him, knowing that this man's skills were extremely strong. Gao Yangyi's opinion of Zheng Tuo has improved several levels in a row.
Although he was far away, Gao Yangyi used his power to look closely and could see the true appearance of this person. He was dressed in civilian clothes and his appearance was not outstanding, so it was difficult for people to think of him as a master. Gao Yangyi expected that Guo Jing, as the overlord of the Chu land who had become famous in the past two years, had some people around him to protect him.
What was particularly surprising was that when Gao Yangyi's eyes caught sight of this person, he actually seemed to be aware of his gaze and actually looked in his direction. This surprised Gao Yangyi even more, because his current skills are no longer comparable to ordinary innate masters, and he has already returned to his true nature for many years.
And at such a long distance, this person's keen senses actually felt his own existence!
Gao Yangyi actually became somewhat interested and stood there without moving, wanting to see what Guo Jing would do and what Zheng Tuo would do. Because there was another master standing next to the man with a gun and black armor. Although he is not as good at hiding as Zheng Tuo, ordinary people cannot detect him at all.
This person is obviously a secret chess player just like Zheng Tuo. Although she has not shown up for decades, looking at the master and the other master next to Guo Jing, they are not the people who have become famous in the past 20 or 30 years, but I don't know who this person is!
It turns out that Zheng Tuo really had some connection with Gao Yangyi, but he didn't know that when Liu Hongda recruited Zheng Tuo to be with him, he didn't tell Gao Yangyi about this person and said that he had secretly won over Zheng Tuo and Qi Gui, which made Gao Yangyi feel uncomfortable for a while. Know who this person is.
The fight hadn't started yet, and Guo Jing was confident, but even though the opponent had the advantage, he still didn't take action immediately.
This young gun-wielding man is Pan Song's most capable cousin Pan Yang, who is good with steel guns. It is said that he studied under the famous general Xue Jia of the former dynasty and was also the leader of this ambush. He originally thought that he was setting up an ambush here, and his cousin Pan Song came from the direction of Shaozhou to outflank Guo Jing.
"Bang bang!" Several fireworks flares suddenly sounded in the distance in the direction of Shaozhou. This sudden flare made the tense atmosphere suddenly relax.
There was actually a smile on Guo Jing's face. This was another team from Shaozhou that had achieved a major victory in Shaozhou City. There is also a special forces team of more than a hundred people on his left, which he and his team have also prepared, but they just dispersed halfway.
Naturally, this is also Guo Jing's marching strategy, which is not only safe but also can echo each other. They formed an army alone and would come to join him in less than half an hour. Guo Jing was greatly relieved. When he looked at Pan Yang in front of him, it was like looking at a dead person.
Guo Jing's calmness made Pan Yang feel excited, especially when he saw the fireworks in the sky, but he didn't know what happened. He must have taken it as a signal from Guo Jing's people to contact him. After weighing it in his mind, he knew what would happen if he waited any longer. Although there were all his own people lying underneath, he still waved his hand to signal everyone to attack.
"Kill! The reward for capturing Guo Jing alive is 5,000 taels of silver. The owl leader will be rewarded with 3,000 taels of silver, and he will be promoted to the third level!"
The two sides were on the verge of breaking out and were soon strangled together.
! ! !
! ! !
! ! !
Zhang Wenbiao looked in front of him coldly, not expressing any thoughts about this life and death issue and the other party's blatant demonstration. As a general stationed on one side, he was actually no different from the other princes.
The head in front of him looked a little ferocious, but Zhang Wenbiao stared at it closely, as if he wanted to see something from this ferocious head. None of the accompanying officials standing beside him dared to say a word.
This is also the Xiang River, and the big ship is quickly approaching Yongzhou. Who knows that someone actually sent Zhang Wenbiao's head. This was Zhang Wenda, the infantry commander of Yongzhou City that day. His ferocious face showed the unwillingness in his heart when he died.
Zhang Wenbiao was angry, not because of the dead Zhang Wenda in front of him, but because the other party sent him a head and actually left easily surrounded by the eighteen guards around him.
After receiving the news that Yongzhou City had been breached, Zhang Wenbiao, who originally planned to go to Daozhou City, immediately changed his route and asked his confidant Xia Fu to lead 5,000 people to still go to Daozhou City, but he divided his troops into two groups and rushed to Yongzhou City. Along the way, three thousand soldiers led by another of his confidants, his wife's uncle Chen Luo, took a shortcut to Lingling City, but he led five thousand sailors all the way to Yongzhou City.
Some time ago, Corporal Zhang Wenbiao Lixian invited several masters in the world to be his guest ministers in the governor's office. Hearing from their mouths that there were two masters, they promised to invite those who had promised to come. This time Zhang Wenbiao believed that Yongzhou City was not a problem, so he personally invited these two experts to go to Yongzhou City first.
He never expected that there were several guests and eighteen guards around him, but he did not retain a messenger, which really made Zhang Wenbiao angry.
