Chapter 60 The Path
Wang Xiaolie ordered his men to collect the captured materials overnight and sent people to guard the prisoners until dawn.
After the victory, Zhai Cong crossed the Yihe River and reported to Zhai Xing the news of his victory over Yang Jin. Although Yang Jin did not die, he was killed and dispersed, and he could barely tell Zhai Jin's heroic spirit.
At dawn, Zhai Cong and Zhai Xing brought more than fifty people across the Yihe River to see Wang Xiaolie.
After the two parties had finished the ceremony, Wang Xiaolie invited Zhai Xing and his son to take a seat.
Zhai Xing said: "Zhizhou worked tirelessly to attack Yang Jin all night last night and finally killed him. It is really brave!"
Wang Xiaohunting said: "The Taiwei is married. It's just that Yang Jin was not ready for the moment and was killed and dispersed. It's a pity that this guy is extremely powerful and really brave. It's also at night, so we can't use bows and arrows to deal with him, so let him run away."
Already."
Zhai Xing said: "I heard that Yang Jin went south and entered the mountains. I wonder what Zhizhou should do? Should we pursue him?"
"Of course we have to chase him. This guy has made such a big fuss, how can he be allowed to escape." At this point, Wang Xiaolie paused. "I think the captain will definitely not let him go. So, for the sake of
To avoid trouble, if Yang Jin escapes into Henan Prefecture, how about letting the Taiwei chase him?"
Zhai Xing nodded hurriedly: "This is the best! - What if Yang Jin escapes into Ruzhou?"
Wang Xiaoxing said: "There are only two ways for Yang Jin to escape south. One is to go to Yiyang and follow the mountain road to Neixiang via Luanchuan. The other way is to go to Lushan County and go to Nanyang via Lushanguan. If you take Yiyang
If Yang Jin goes to Yang, I will chase him. If he goes to Lushan County, I will chase him. There is a garrison in Lushan, so it will not be easy for Yang Jin to go there. Now that he is a lost dog, he will probably go to Yiyang."
Zhai Xing was in a bit of a dilemma. His brother Zhai Jin was killed by Yang Jin, and he had a deep hatred with him. He wanted to kill him before he was willing to accept it. But looking at Wang Xiaolie's attitude, it would be okay if he didn't enter his Henan mansion.
He was not allowed to enter his Ruzhou. After thinking about it again and again, he nodded and said: "Just follow what Zhizhou said!"
"It should be like this!" Wang Xiaolie was also a little happy. "I will stay here for another two or three days. After asking about Yang Jin's whereabouts, I will immediately lead my troops back to Ruzhou. The state is not peaceful now, so we can't stay here.
Stay long."
Zhai Xing knew that Wang Xiaolie would stay here for another two days. In addition to inquiring about Yang Jin's whereabouts, more importantly, he wanted to transport the materials seized from Yang Jin back to Ruzhou. This victory was won by Wang Xiaolie, so naturally
The spoils of war will not be divided with the Zhai family's army.
However, the Zhai family is an army formed by a large family, and is not as dependent on captures from wars as other armies, so there is no objection.
Wang Xiaolie was very happy after receiving a positive answer, and ordered his subordinates to kill pigs and sheep to entertain Zhai Xing and others who came over.
Wang Xiaolie is not a greedy person, but at this time, the spoils of war are very important to him. Yang Jin swept the manpower and material resources of the state, not only a large amount of materials, but also a large number of people. What Wang Xiaolie lacked at this time was the population.
At this time, Ruzhou, including its surroundings, is vast and sparsely populated. Moreover, the geographical location is superior and the land is fertile. As long as there is a sufficient population, it can be developed. Tens of thousands of people are very big for Ruzhou.
Strength.
In a small village in Jiugao Mountain in the south, Yang Jin sat by the fire, looking at the surrounding mountains and drinking. There were two roads in front of him now. One was to go up the Yi River.
, to attack Yiyang County. Then follow the mountain road to attack Neixiang County in Dengzhou. Then whether you go west to Shangzhou or east to Dengzhou, there is a way out. The second way is to go east to Lu
Shan County. From there, go south to Lushanguan and attack Nanyang.
In later generations, most of the Nanyang area was under the jurisdiction of Dengzhou. Dengzhou was Wangzhou, Wu Shengjunjiedu, and Nanyang County. At this time, it was customary to refer to places with county names. For example, Henan Prefecture was often called Luoyang, and Dengzhou was sometimes called Luoyang.
It was called Nanyang. Under Dengzhou, there was Nanyang County, which was later known as Nanyang, not far from the exit of Lushanguan.
At this moment, a soldier hurriedly ran over and crossed his arms to Yang Jin: "Your Majesty, there are several households over there who say they have something important to tell you."
Yang Jin said: "What a bird, common people! Come and make noise with me! Chop it up with a knife and cook it for you to eat!"
The soldier hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, there is a person here who looks familiar. He has been in the army before."
After hearing this, Yang Jin said: "Then call them over!"
Not long after, the soldiers brought a few people over. The people walking in front, Yang Jin recognized, were Fang Youming and Cheng Yasi who had come to him a few days ago. The two men had come to him and said they were going back to Ruzhou to rebel.
.In the end, I didn’t know what the news was, so I lost first.
When they arrived, Fang Youming and Cheng Yasi saluted together.
Yang Jin said: "You two gathered together and said that you were going back to Ruzhou to rebel and seize the city of Ruzhou for me. You haven't seen any movement for a few days. Why did you come here again today? Could it be that you have no way of living and are coming to join me?"
Fang Youming said: "The king has wronged us! After we returned, we found a military academy named Yang Tiansong, seized the military power, and captured Ruzhou City. Unfortunately, Yang Tiansong heard that the king's situation was no longer good, so he refused to come.
He defected and led his troops eastward. There was no other way, so we tried our best to catch up and finally caught up with the king."
Yang Jin looked sideways at the two of them, half-smiling but not smiling, and said nothing.
Fang Youming and Cheng Yasi were worried about Yang Jin, fearing that Yang Jin would fall out and kill his family. This devil would never blink an eye at a murderer. And if he said he wanted to boil the two of them, then he really had to boil them in boiling water.
.
After a while, Yang Jin said: "Since you have captured Ruzhou City, you can be considered loyal. Since you have nowhere to go, you will stay with me from now on. When you get rich in the future, I will guarantee that you two will wear gold."
Dai Yin!”
After hearing this, Fang Youming and Director Cheng Ya breathed a sigh of relief. Their lives were saved.
Fang Youming said: "Your Majesty, there are pursuers from Wang Zhizhou and the Zhai family in the rear. I don't know where to go next?"
Yang Jin said: "I am also thinking about it. The Zhai family is in Fengyang Village, not far from Luoyang. If I go upstream along the Yi River to get Yichuan, no one can stop me. But if the Zhai family chases me along the Yi River, I can only go
The mountain road leads to Neixiang. The distance is long, and it is all mountainous. It must not be easy on this road. But if we take Lushanguan, there is Lushan County blocking it. It is not difficult to capture Lushan County, but Wang Xiao's hunting army
Follow behind!"
Fang Youming said: "To go to Neixiang by Yihe River, it is a mountain road and difficult to walk. It is better to go to Lushanguan."
Yang Jin said: "What nonsense you are! If it's difficult to walk through the Yihe River, why should I hesitate?"
Fang Youmingdao hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, that's not what I mean! What I mean is that if you go through Lushanguan, you don't necessarily have to hit Lushan County."
"Oh, how can we enter Lushanguan without going to Lushan County?" Yang Jin looked at Fang Youming and immediately became interested.
Fang Youming said: "In the west of Lushan County, there is a Tang Valley. The water gushing out from the ground there is as boiling as soup. Since ancient times, countless celebrities and elegant people have gone there to take a bath——"
Yang Jin said impatiently: "I'm looking for a way to escape now. Where can I find that elegant mood? Besides, grandpa doesn't like that tune!"
Fang Youming hurriedly said: "What I mean is that there is a road from here to Tanggu. When you get to Tanggu, there is a road to Sanyakou. Although it is a mountain road, it is much easier to walk than Yihe. When you get to Sanyakou, you can bypass it.
After arriving at Lushan County, go straight to Lushanguan Pass."
"Tang" means hot spring in later generations. Near Lushan Mountain, there is a famous hot spring belt in China with a large number of hot springs. Since ancient times, many celebrities have visited there and formed villages and towns. It is also close to Luoyang, which is considered a scenic spot. However, the population is sparse at this time.
The road was abandoned and no longer known.
