The mountains are stacked with majestic peaks, surrounded by clouds and mist, and the green valleys show people the vitality and vitality of nature under the sunlight. The winding mountain road passes through the dense forest. The trees and various wild flowers form a charming picture, which makes people indulge in it and forget to leave.
Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him, Zhang Sheng was filled with sorrow.
The team began to move northwest from Puyin into the mountains. Over the past few days, the bandits scattered and hid in pre-set camps in the mountains. No matter how beautiful the scenery was, this was not their final destination. It was only a few days away. Guangchang is the one.
From Guangchang to the northeast, it leaves Jinpi Pass to connect Youzhou; to the southeast, it leaves Wuruan Pass and Daomaguan to connect Jizhou; to the northwest, it passes through Feihuxing and Heishiling to Yu County and then to the outside of the Great Wall; and to the southwest, it leaves Tianmen Pass and ends at Lingqiu, Bingzhou. .
Now that he has set his sights on this important transportation location, he is bound to fight to the death with local forces.
Those who have traveled a hundred miles are half-ninety, and the last tremor cannot be missed.
Zhang Sheng knew that in the last few days, he could decide whether his group could stay here and establish a foundation here.
If you want to enter Guangchang, you must first pass through Wuruan Pass.
Wuruan Pass is located in the middle of Puyinxing, with the endless Juma River on one side and a cliff on the other side. "Enter the Aimen Mountain Gorge, take the path between the rocks, and the road is cut for riding. The right wall is steep and reaches the sky, and the left is a sheer stream hundreds of feet high. There are roaring rapids below, and clear thunder starts at your feet." This is what is said about this pass. In a dangerous place, this pass is located on the mountainside of Wuhuiling. If you want to pass this pass, there is only a winding mountain road going up from the foot of the mountain.
According to the information obtained from passers-by captured from people who came out of the mountain a few days ago, the Wuruan Pass is stuck on the cliff on the mountainside, shaped like a small fort. There are two gates in the pass, front and rear. After the people entering and exiting the pass have been interrogated, They must leave quickly and are prohibited from staying in the customs.
The men and horses stationed at Wuruan Pass were two hundred soldiers from Guangchang. These people were all members of the Gao, Chen, Zhang and other aristocratic families in Guangchang City. Several aristocratic families have taken a fancy to this treasure land where several states intersect. They control several passes and make endless profits by taking advantage of this important transportation area with easy access to the left and right.
One man is in charge, no one can open it!
This time, my own plan for Guangchang can be regarded as a real tough battle since time travel.
Seizing Wuruan Pass and occupying Guangchang must be done in one go. Otherwise, when the enemy withdraws people from several passes, the difficulty of attacking Guangchang will increase exponentially.
Zhang Sheng looked into the depths of the Taihang Mountains, but he was thinking endlessly about this battle plan. However, the more he thought about it, the bigger his head got.
Guangchang was easy to seize, but it would take a little time to ambush and get more men into the city. When the time came, the inside and outside would be coordinated, and it would not be difficult to break the city. What gave him a headache was precisely this small Wu Ruan Pass.
Chang San and other scouts explored the area all the way. The narrowest part of the road up the mountain only allowed three or four people to walk abreast. No matter how many people there were, they could not launch an attack.
If you want to capture Wuruan Pass, the best way is to break through from the inside. If you attack from the outside along the winding mountain road, Zhang Sheng is afraid that his more than 3,000 men will not be enough to fill the hole.
However, if you want to attack from within, how can you prepare the troops in advance?
If there are too few people, it will be ineffective; if there are too many people, the opponent will definitely be suspicious. When the door closes, everyone will have no choice but to wait for death.
Moreover, most of the people who go to seize the barrier can only do it with bare hands, wearing ragged clothes, not even a piece of leather armor, and the weapons can only be taken by hand. Otherwise, they will tell the other party that someone is here with evil intentions.
The scouts were sent out one after another, and the news they reported back was getting worse and worse. I had a headache, a real headache!
Is it possible to go back the same way or choose another place?
Not willing to give in!
As long as the team captures Guangchang and can hold it, Zhang Sheng believes that after a few years of development, no one in the world will dare to look down on him as an ant thief, not even the old thief Cao!
"Mr. Lang, please give Wuruan Pass to a certain person."
When Zhang Sheng's brows were furrowed and his head was already in a mess, Zhou Chuang beside him interrupted his thinking.
"you?"
Zhang Sheng asked involuntarily, and turned to look at Zhou Chuang beside him. Seeing his affirmative look, something suddenly flashed in his mind.
Zhou Chuang, yes, Zhou Chuang should be familiar with the Guangchang area, because when he was hesitating and thinking about whether to come to Guangchang for development in the early stage, it was the person in front of him who explained to him the situation around Guangchang and Laishui. , which prompted him to make up his mind to develop here.
How could I have forgotten this incident?
"Lao Chuang, tell me quickly, how can you win Wuruan Pass?" Zhang Sheng looked for Zhou Chuang's life-saving straw.
"Lang Jun, do you remember where you met us?" Zhou Chuang asked without answering.
What don't you remember about this? Zhang Sheng nodded to Zhou Chuang and waited for his next words.
"Lang Jun, let me tell you a story. Once upon a time, there was a child in Luancheng..." Zhou Chuang looked at the distant mountains and began to tell his story. Zhang Sheng didn't understand his past until now.
Zhou Chuang was born in a philanthropic family in Luancheng. When he was young, he was quite naughty and liked to dance with guns and sticks. When he was fifteen or sixteen years old, he was already a gangster leader in the nearby countryside.
At this time, he was no longer satisfied with hanging around in the countryside, so he started to travel around the countryside with a group of younger brothers, "acting chivalrously and righteously" everywhere.
By chance, Zhou Chuang heard the "chivalrous name" of Chu Yan from the leading county, and then led a group of gangsters to Zhengding to find Chu Yan. As soon as the two parties met, it was natural that they were hello, me, and everyone. However, time For a long time, due to different personalities, the two sides had differences and had to part ways.
When Zhou Chuang took his people home, Zhang Jiao's Yellow Turban Uprising broke out. He took his brothers back to his hometown with great hardships. In the name of suppressing bandits, the officers and soldiers of Yuanshi Prefecture made the village where his home was located It became a white field.
Filled with regret, they and their brothers began to kill officials to vent their anger. Later, they were hunted down by the officials as thieves and bandits, and they had no choice but to flee to Montenegro.
After escaping, he fled to the vicinity of Liu's Wubao and met Liu Shang. Seeing that Zhou Chuang and others were very skilled, he promised to lure Zhou Chuang and his gang with a large sum of money for his own use.
Zhou Chuang and this group of gangsters thought, if someone is offering them delicious food and drink, why not do it? So, a group of them settled in Liu's Wubao and became the minions of Liu's father and son.
The Liu family and his son were serving Zhou Chuang and his group. Of course, they did not want to find a group of ancestors to support them, but the purpose was to let them work.
Zhou Chuang's job was to escort slaves to Guangchang and Zhuojun, or exchange slaves for horses. The villagers in Liu's Wubao who were forced into slavery by Liu's father and son under various pretexts were the targets of their escort.
After Zhou Chuang and others escorted them several times, they saw the tragic end of these villagers, and their conscience suddenly emerged in their bones. They decided not to do this job of annihilating their descendants. So, they approached Liu and his son and asked them to pay With the previously promised reward, they planned to leave Liu's Wubao.
The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel!
How could the Liu family and his son allow them to get their wish?
They agreed with their mouths, but set a trap behind their backs.
After a banquet, Zhou Chuang's brothers became the weaklings of others. By the time they realized something was wrong, it was too late. After some useless resistance and some brothers died, Zhou Chuang and others The people gave up their resistance and waited until Zhang Sheng broke through Liu's Wubao, and they were able to see the light of day again.
After listening to Zhou Chuang's past, Zhang Sheng had to sigh in his heart, fate plays tricks on people...
