In the early morning, outside Gaoyang City, the sun that had just exposed half of its head from the top of the mountain couldn't wait to pour out its sunshine, shining golden light on most of Gaoyang City. In the sunlight, Yun Zhao and Gao Yang's group

Waiting to stand on top of the city tower, waving to the city with a smile, Jian Jian looked ashamed. Last night, in the dark, he sneaked into the inn with two guards with high martial arts skills.

Before he had time to take action, he was captured alive by the Anqing Army who had been prepared in the inn. The other party was extremely skillful in taking people. They were forced to death with spears, bows and arrows. The iron chains shook and the three of them were killed.

A tight lock was locked, and the guy in the lead smiled so evilly. Looking at the shiny pockmarks on his face, Jian Jian always felt that he had seen this hateful guy there.

"Let's go, Major General. Our families are friends and brothers. You can come anytime you want, so why should you be so reluctant to leave?" Someone next to him said with a smile, and when he turned around, he saw that disgusting pockmarked face again.

.Jian Jian was so angry that one Buddha ascended to heaven and two Buddhas were born. After catching him yesterday, he stayed in the inn like a rice dumpling for most of the night before he saw Yun Zhao rushing over. It is said that he was there yesterday.

Tian went to Chenghua for an inspection, and didn't hear about it until he came back. Amidst a series of apologies, he took Jian Jian to the camp. Jian Jian didn't believe this nonsense. Wang Gui was no longer in the inn. He was obviously gone.

After being sent away, the soldiers there were waiting for him to teach him a lesson. Looking at the smiling young Uncle Yun, Jian Jian really wanted to hit him with a heart-wrenching punch.

He had no shame to stay in Gaoyang anymore, so he got up early in the morning and left simply. To his surprise, Yun Zhao seemed to have expected that he would leave and had prepared a big gift for him.

, five hundred war horses.

This was a big deal. On the way to Gaoyang, Jian Jian knew that Yun Zhao's men had won a great victory in Anqing. They captured a lot of horses, but giving him five hundred horses at once was just a dream.

Didn't expect it

. Seeing the five hundred lively horses on the school grounds, all the anger in Jian's stomach disappeared immediately. He was indescribably grateful. He thought to himself that if he tied himself up and there were five hundred horses available in the middle of the night, then he might as well tie himself up again.

It's been a few days.

"Tell Brother Jian. Yun Zhao clearly remembers the kindness he gave me back then. I should repay you with every drop of kindness. I, Yun Zhao, am not a white-eyed wolf!" Yun Zhao said with a loud laugh: "From now on, our two families will join forces to fight together.

Wang Haogu, we must unite sincerely to fight against the Mongolian thieves in order to defeat the powerful enemy! But we must not make any small moves, as this will damage the relationship between the two families."

Apart from bowing deeply, Jian Jian was speechless. Naturally, he said these words to himself.

At this time, he looked back at Yunzhao, who was bathing in the sunshine at the top of Gaoyang City. He was simply grateful for this, but he couldn't help being dejected. His father said that he was far behind him, and he was still not convinced. Now it seems that his father is really

He knew clearly that the other party was playing tricks on him, and even his own mood could be easily manipulated. He and he were not on the same level at all.

He cupped his fists and bowed to the head of Gaoyang City, then simply turned his horse.

"What's your name? Have I seen you before?" He looked at the pockmarked Anqing Army general escorting him. This man was wearing a Zhaowu captain's uniform. He was obviously a senior officer of the Anqing Army, but why?

It looks familiar.

The sun was shining brightly on Li Fugui's face, and the pockmarks reflected the morning light, shining with golden light. "The young general is a noble man, so he forgets things!" He grinned, "The general's name is Li Fugui. When the young general was stationed in Gaoyang, I was

The chief arrester of Gaoyang County Government, who specializes in arresting those who violate laws and disciplines. He also followed the Major General to arrest many Gaoshan tribesmen. However, at that time, the villain was really not in the spotlight. It is reasonable for the Major General not to remember me.

."

"Li Fugui, arrester? Why did you join the army? And became a senior general of the Anqing Army?" Jian Jian asked in shock. He vaguely remembered that there seemed to be such a person.

"The last general made some minor contributions in the defense of Gaoyang. General Yun valued him and recruited him into the army. Not long ago, he went to Anqing and fought a big battle with the Mongols. Hahaha, I was lucky and led the army to win.

I lost my way and accidentally robbed a Mongolian logistics camp. I was the one who got these horses back.

General Yun was very happy and told me that if he won another battle, he would promote me to the rank of guerrilla general. I never thought that I, Li Mazi, would one day become a general!" Li Fugui smiled extremely happily. In his opinion, if he won another battle, he would be promoted to a guerrilla general.

A big victory is a piece of cake, and this guerrilla general already has it within his grasp.

I am simply speechless. It is true that a hero emerges from troubled times. If his father had not led the army to withdraw from Gaoyang, people like Li Mazi would have had a chance to succeed. I am afraid that he would still be a small head catcher and would not be qualified to stand in front of him.

, but now, that humble man who could only look at himself from a distance before can talk in front of him, full of confidence.

Talents are everywhere, it just depends on whether they have a chance to shine. Although gold can shine everywhere, if it is buried too deep, there will be no chance to show up. Where is the chance to shine? Li Mazi said it very easily, but it is simple

Do you know how easy it is? No matter where it is, the logistics camp is heavily guarded. The fact that Li Ma is able to fight and take it is enough to illustrate his ability.

"Anqing won a great victory, so the situation must be great?" asked Jian Jian tentatively.

Li Mazi shook his head, "It is true that Tuotuo is not our opponent, but the situation in Anqing has become more and more serious. Tuotuo has been defeated. I heard that Meng Yuan has already replaced his horses with generals. When I came back to send these horses, I heard that

An army of Heshuote has already approached Anqing. We defeated Wang Haogu here, so the Mongols will naturally come back with revenge, and my General Yun will soon send more troops to Anqing."

"If we send more troops to Anqing, wouldn't it mean that our troops in Yizhou are empty?" Jian Jian said in surprise.

Li Mazi chuckled and said, "The additional troops sent to Anqing are all from the Gaoshan tribe. I heard that five thousand Gaoshan tribe soldiers will be sent to Anqing this time." He looked around and said in a low voice with some pride: "Mr. Zhao quietly told me.

, these five thousand Gaoshan soldiers are under my command."

Hearing Li Mazi mention Zhao Xu, Jian Jian couldn't help but feel a little upset. Zhao Xu must have been the one to report last night's misfortune. ***, I had only left for a few days, and this guy was already devoted to his new master.

.

"Don't mention this Sour Ding!" He said angrily: "You have to be careful when you bring these Gaoshan tribesmen to the battlefield, or they will sell you out!"

Li Mazi disagreed, "What are you talking about? Last time, most of the soldiers I led were Gaoshan tribesmen. When I finally broke out and came back, it was Meng Gao, oh, it was a Gaoshan tribe leader who led the Gaoshan tribesmen to support me. I wanted to

Otherwise, how can we get thousands of war horses back? On the battlefield, they are all brothers. If you don't trust your brothers, you will die quickly."

Jian Jian was speechless. With Li Mazi's words, the other party revealed at least two pieces of information. The Mongolian army would intensify its attack in Anqing to involve Yun Zhao's strength, so that Yun Zhao would not concentrate on dealing with Wang Haogu. One of them was,

Second, Yun Zhao has succeeded

The Gaoshan tribesmen are pacified and won over. This is something that has not been done in Gaoyang for many years. The Gaoshan tribesmen are fierce and good at fighting. If they are matched with the strict training and command system of the Dai Viet Army, they will be a very difficult force to deal with.

army.

Although he had many simple thoughts, Li Mazi was very proud. He was so wise when he begged Yun Zhao to join the Anqing frontier army.

On days when he would cut down a Mongolian man with a knife, just like chopping melons and vegetables, Li Mazi couldn't help but get hot all over, and he stuck out his tongue and licked the corner of his mouth, as if he was missing that fishy smell.

Hot blood, that's the life a man should have! He glanced sideways at Jian Jian, thinking that if he had voted for the Jian Family Army at that time, he might have been dead long ago. The Jian Family Army has been losing battles recently. Yes, for sure.

Damn it, Jian Jiajun will not let himself become an officer all of a sudden. Only people like General Yun will appreciate promoting himself!

He smacked his lips, wishing that the journey could be shorter. If he sent Jian Jian to Guangchang, he would have completed the mission. When he came back, he would have to escort a large number of ordnance back to Gaoyang, including chainmail, bows and arrows, broadswords, spears, eight-niu crossbows, etc. After returning,

With salivation, he would also ask General Yun for a batch for his troops. If this batch of 5,000-strong Gaoshan tribe camp was really handed over to his command,

The difference between wearing armor and not wearing armor is still very big. In the last battle of Anqing, the Gaoshan people suffered serious casualties because they lacked the necessary protection. If a worker wants to do something good, he must sharpen his weapons first, and the Mongolian army will also recover.

It was getting harder and harder to fight. He touched the broadsword on the side of the saddle. General Jiang Xu's sword was so sharp that he didn't know if he would have a chance to get one.

Both of them were thinking about their own concerns and marched towards Guangchang in silence.

Seeing Li Mazi accompanying Jian Jian and escorting five hundred war horses out of sight, and Yun Zhao and others returned to the city, Zhao Xu was worried. He had offended Jian Jian to death with what happened last night, and there was only one way out from now on.

, following Yun Zhao all the way to the dark side, if one day Jian Shu regains control of Yizhou, he will never end well.

With a deep sigh, Zhao Xu cheered up. Yun Zhao had only been in Gaoyang for a few months, but these few months shocked Zhao Xu far more than the past few years. The Gaoshan people and the Dayue people had been grudges for many years.

The hatred is gradually dissipating, especially after seeing those high-ranking officials who returned from the Anqing battlefield injured and disabled.

The mountain tribesmen. These soldiers who returned to the west and could no longer set foot on the battlefield received extremely good accommodations and extremely generous pensions. They were even given free land, cattle, and furniture. If one of the mountain tribesmen in a family was injured or died,

As a soldier, the whole family will be lifted out of poverty immediately, which makes the Gaoshan people more enthusiastic.

When recruiting troops, the army was very enthusiastic. In addition to Gaoyang, there was an endless stream of Gaoshan tribesmen from other four counties who signed up to join the army. The recruitment point in Gaoyang was overcrowded every day, so that the recruitment conditions had to be improved.

The previous phenomenon of forcing various tribes of the Gaoshan tribe to send troops is no longer seen. Through this

A series of measures also further weakened the control of the former Gaoshan tribe leaders and nobles over the Gaoshan tribe. The injured or sacrificed family members of the returned Gaoshan tribe were temporarily placed under military control, and they would be put under military control after a period of time.

They were handed over to local officials, freeing them from the control of previous tribal elders.

Moisturizing things quietly, Yun Zhao is naturalizing these Gaoshan people step by step. In a few years, I am afraid that the Gaoshan people and the Dai Viet people will no longer be able to distinguish each other. (To be continued) rq
