Three thousand miles in exile

Back in Wuyuan County, Liu Zhan stepped up his drills for recruits, which can be called devil-style training.

As the grandson of the government, Song Fenglin has a wide range of knowledge. He has also visited the military camps to observe and train soldiers, but he has never seen someone like Liu Zhan leading people up and down the mountains and rivers every day.

Liu Zhan asked his soldiers to understand water. Most of the people on the mountain were landlubbers, so he threw the landlubbers into the pond, which was no more than waist deep, and he stood on the bank with a bamboo pole to force the soldiers. Sink into the water to practice holding your breath and practice swimming.

That’s not to mention, there are also various physical trainings during the day, such as what Liu Zhan called “zip training” exercises. If you still can't keep up with the next training activity, you won't be able to get the silver award at the end of the year. In this way, the soldiers almost work hard for fear that they won't be able to keep up.

Moreover, Liu Zhan scolded people with every word to his heart.

"Fifty catties of weapons and armor is the most basic weight for you to go on the battlefield! It is a part of your body, and I must get used to it!"

"You can't hold on no matter where you are. On the battlefield, you only kill a few people and you're exhausted, and you have to wait to die!"

"You look like dead pigs, even if the enemy gives you a chance to escape, do you still have the strength to escape? Think about it, if you die, your woman will be slept by another man! Your son will become someone else's son! You Do you still dare to be lazy? Stand up for me and continue walking!"

Liu Zhan’s cursing voice echoed in the valley. This is the dense forest outside Wuyuan County. Liu Zhan built a new army camp here called a field training camp. Three hundred veterans stayed in the county barracks, and there were soldiers in the field training camp in the mountains. 1000 people.

The creek outside the field training camp is the end of every training activity. Liu Zhan built a gazebo here, and Song Fenglin would read a book here when he had nothing to do and wait for him to come back.

About two hours later, there was movement in the woods, and Song Fenglin knew that they must have returned.

Sure enough, Liu Zhan walked out of the woods first.

Song Fenglin looked up at the sun. "You are half an hour later than last time."

Liu Zhan put down his weight and urinals, took Song Fenglin's water and drank half of it vigorously before sitting down next to him.

"Where are the others?" Song Fenglin asked.

Liu Zhan said: "This time I climbed a section of the cliff, and they were exhausted. I asked them to catch their breath on the north slope before coming back."

Liu Zhan is very strict with the soldiers but he never insists on it. Exercising moderately can strengthen the body. If it is too much, it will cause trouble.

Song Fenglin said: "Your physical strength is much better than theirs."

Liu Zhan smiled. You must know that he has insisted on running and exercising in the morning since he was 12 years old. After six years, his physical fitness is naturally better than that of teenagers. More importantly, he can endure hardships. Zhan's experience as a soldier in his previous life was a piece of cake.

"What did you see? I'm still waiting for you to tell me." Liu Zhan pointed to his book.

Don't talk about this, it's good that Song Fenglin gets angry when he mentions it, and this guy found a new book for him to read. "I've just started reading it. How can I read it so quickly? Also, why don't you read it yourself if you are interested in regional annals, and don't ask me again in the future."

Liu Zhan said confidently. "I don't understand." Not only classical Chinese, but also traditional Chinese characters without punctuation marks, what should he think?

Song Fenglin was upset. "I've never listened to me telling you to memorize and practice calligraphy on weekdays."

Liu Zhan leaned over to him and said with a smile. "It's not like you don't know that I don't like to write. Anyway, you will read it for me, and I like to listen to you."

Song Fenglin pushed him away with extreme disgust. "Who will tell you! It stinks, go away!"

Looking at his fair and delicate profile, Liu Zhan couldn't help but want to kiss him.

"Two little brothers." Suddenly a voice came in. The visitor was dressed as a hunter, about [-] years old, and he was very clean.

"Two little brothers, I lost my way while chasing a wild boar in the mountains. May I ask which direction should I go to Tongtian Pass?"

Song Fenglin seldom went into the forest, so he didn't know about it, but Liu Zhan suddenly came and said in amazement with interest. "Uncle, you can actually hunt wild boars? That guy is so vicious that he finished our fields."

Orion laughed. "That's right."

Liu Zhan said again: "People in our villages hate wild boars the most, but wild boars are delicious. Last year, Chen Liehu from our village gave my family a piece, and I ate some on New Year's Eve, and the rest were hung up. Woke up and didn't want to move."

Orion said: "That's not true."

Liu Zhan said: "Uncle, why don't you accept me as your apprentice, I will be filial to you."

Orion was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't expect Liu Zhan to be an acquaintance. "This... but I live deep in the mountains, so it may be inconvenient to come and go."

Liu Zhan stood with his hands behind his back and suddenly smiled. "Uncle, wouldn't it be good for you to live in?"

Before Orion could react, he saw a group of teenagers with guns walking out of the woods.

Liu Zhan shouted loudly. "Catch him! There's something wrong with this man!"

Orion was frightened and wanted to run away.

Cao Zhuang's gun was the best, and with a move he learned by himself, he swept the army and hit Orion's calf and knocked him down!The soldiers pointed their guns straight at Orion's face, scaring Orion so much that he almost wet his pants.

"Don't move! Otherwise, you will be tied into a sieve!" Liu Zhan threatened, and then ordered. "Go get the rope and tie him up."

The rope Cao Ming and Li Xiaolian used to tie the wild boar tied them up tightly.

Song Fenglin on the side frowned and he could see something was wrong. This person claimed to be chasing a wild boar and lost his way, but his whole body was clean and tidy. Looking back at the scene where the teenagers hunted wild boars, how could it be possible that there was no trace on his body?

Song Fenglin looked at Liu Zhan. "What are you going to do?"

Liu Zhan is concise and to the point. "Trial!"

Song Fenglin was about to ask him how to interrogate Liu Zhan, so he said. "Da Zhuang, Xiao Lian, beat him hard!"

Song Fenglin was startled. "Aren't you afraid of making a mistake?"

Liu Zhan smiled confidently. "Just watch."

Da Zhuang and Xiao Lian said exactly what Liu Zhan said, and when Liu Zhan said he would beat them up hard, he beat them up hard, and Orion kept yelling wrong, help, and murder.

Liu Zhan raised his hand to indicate that he could stop.

He knelt down and looked the man straight in the eye. "You're full of lies."

The man was beaten black and blue. "No no, I'm just lost."

Liu Zhan smiled coldly. "You said you live in the mountains? But you are not a local here at all, and you are not a hunter at all."

The man was stunned.

"One, you said you lost your way chasing wild boars in the woods, but the soles of your shoes didn't get muddy, and there wasn't even a trace of fighting on your body, so you're lying. Two, when I was chatting with you, I said that there is Chen Orion in our village. I don't think so, but there are no Orion in Tiancang Village, not even in the nearby ten miles and eight villages, because wild boars are king here, and there are many casualties for Orion fighting alone, but everyone in Wuyuan County knows that there is no Orion on the mountain, which shows that you are not a local. "

Liu Zhan sneered. "The last point, according to my intuition, you must have a plan."

The man was completely dumbfounded.

Liu Zhan said. "I'll give you a chance to confess. Tell me, who are you, and why did you go to Tongtianguan?"

The man is still innocent. "Little brother, I'm really just a hunter, probably because I live far away from the village and don't know what's going on outside."

"Shame on you." Liu Zhan smiled and stood up. "Da Zhuang, take off his pants."

"What, what do you want to do? Is there any law left? In broad daylight! Stop, stop!"

Liu Zhan slowly drew the dagger from his waist. "Do you know how the eunuchs in the palace are castrated? It is said that it is just like this!" Liu Zhan thrust the dagger between the man's legs straight into the soil.

Looking at the man, his face was pale and dripping with sweat, his eyes were fixed on the dagger in his crotch, and he almost cut it bit by bit!

Liu Zhan asked coldly again. "Do you think you should try this?"

The man was trembling like a sieve, he wanted to continue to deceive just now, but Liu Zhan cut him down without saying a word, the evil spirit all over his body made him have no doubt that this young man could do what he said!

"I... I am Yan... from Yan..."

"What else?" Liu Zhan drew the knife and gestured in his hand.

"I...I am..."

Liu Zhan went down with the knife, and this time the hatchet cut the skin at the base of the thigh.

"Don't! Don't! I say I say! I'm a scout from Yan Kingdom!"

Everyone was shocked for a moment.

"Take it back and give me a careful interrogation!" Liu Zhan's face was frosty.

That night, the Yan Guo scouts who couldn't stand the torture recruited everything.

General Zuo of Yan State sent a dozen scouts to investigate the situation on Qiyun Mountain. This scout lost his way in the woods, so he had to ask the two young and harmless people for directions.

Liu Zhan took the opportunity to press him about the situation of the Yan army. The Yan army had already gone south to attack Liyang Pass, and it was time to start a war with the Chu army, but the news of them being blocked on the mountain has not yet come.

The purpose of the Yan army is not only to take the Cangxia Plain, but also to swallow Qiyun Mountain, so as to choke Da Chu by the throat.

Before he knew it, it was night, and Liu Zhan was thinking about things.

Song Fenglin said while lighting the lamp. "The King of Yan's plans are huge. The 20 troops may have exhausted the entire strength of the Yan Kingdom. The Cangxia Plain may not be preserved. At such a time of life and death, the Yan family will definitely not be distracted from dealing with trivial matters such as scouts investigating Qiyun Mountain. , how do you plan to deal with this scout?"

Another option is to send the scouts to Shangfeng.

"Keep it for now." Liu Zhan tapped on the table and thought. "Wuyuan County is subordinate to Cen Prefecture, and Cen Prefecture is subordinate to Ruichang County. It is bounded by Huangchuan County, where the Cangxia Plain is located, and Jinyang County. The governor of Ruichang County is at odds with the Yan family. This matter will just go away.”

"Do you think the governor of Ruichang will watch from the sidelines?" Song Fenglin said.

"The Yan army can't overcome the natural danger of Huangchuan." This item determines the attitude of the Ruichang prefect.

Liu Zhan suddenly made a decision. "Since the army of the Yan Kingdom has gone south, I don't need to hide it anymore. I decided to sweep up the border areas of Yan's border!"

The looting and looting of small troubles can no longer satisfy him. Now there is not enough money, food and supplies in the county barracks. Liu Zhan needs to supplement these, especially the weapons and supplies. Liu Zhan plans to build a military workshop on the mountain to make weapons, which is a huge sum of money. Expenses, these expenses he can only get back from Yan Guo.

It is very important for Liu Zhan to wipe out the cavalry in Yandi, but there are less than one hundred horses in the field training camp at present. This is what Liu Zhan collected all the horses in the county barracks. The matter of buying horses is imminent.Horses are precious resources, even if Liu Zhan spread the news under the banner of the government, he finally bought less than [-] horses, far from the [-] he expected.

In his previous life, Liu Zhan was a man of action. He waited until he got all the horses to get his hands on the daylilies, and the daylilies were cold. If he needed anything, he would grab it!

Thousands of soldiers under Liu Zhan's command came out and took Bailizhuang directly from Tongtianguan on the first night. Liu Zhan didn't retreat every time he succeeded, but directly burned the Yan army's granary, and the blazing smoke covered the entire area. After covering half the sky, he attacked Miaojiao Township to which Bailizhuang belonged without stopping.

How could there be dozens of soldiers in Miaojiao Township who could be Liu Zhan's opponents, but they were all beheaded and robbed of food and grass after they met each other.In this way, they looted all the way and burned all the way, and they reached the boundary of Rao County in just two days.

The county seat of Rao County is located in a hilly land. Liu Zhan led his troops to capture a post on the commanding heights of the hilly land. He ordered the army to be assembled here. Well, prepare to defend the city and wait for reinforcements.

"Report to your lord." Cao Zhuang came forward with a slightly embarrassed face holding his knife.

Liu Zhan gazed at the Rao County below the mountain without squinting. "explain."

"The villagers we scattered before gathered together and attacked our food delivery team in the Yangzhuang area. These people kept pestering us endlessly, and we even lost a few soldiers."

There was no wave in Liu Zhan's eyes. "From today onwards, any rebels will be strangled on the spot."

Cao Zhuang was ordered to hold his fists down, and Li Xiaolian came to report. "Brother, all the teams have been reorganized, and we have dug ditches in several important places according to your instructions."

At this time, Liu Zhan already had a plan in his mind, so he said it lightly. "Set fire to these hills and attack the city after the fire is exhausted."

This hilly land is also known as Maiziao. Raoxian County is built in the low-lying part of this hilly land. Maiziao has no rivers and is surrounded by mountains. The vegetation on the hills is not high but very dense. Rao County is not a military fortress. The city walls are not tall and the trees are shadowy. It was integrated with the city wall, and because Rao County was located in a low-lying area, the fire spread was unstoppable.

The city owner of Rao County didn't expect that the other party would set fire at all. Seeing the fire spreading from all directions, he felt ashamed for a moment. There is no river in the county, so the dozen or so wells can't stop the raging fire.

When the fire spread to the big trees around the city wall and spread into the county, the people of the whole county were like ants in a frying pan. The fire burned for three days and three nights, causing countless deaths and injuries in the city. The state government sent troops to rescue [-] soldiers. When they arrived, besides the county town that was turned into ruins, where was the half shadow of the bandit soldiers?

On the same day, Colonel Yan Jun, who was ordered to suppress the bandits, received a report from his subordinates that the bandits were in Liaojiazhuang, hundreds of miles away!Captain Yan Jun led his troops to Liaojiazhuang non-stop, leaving him a village that was still in ruins, and he was so angry that he smashed the kettle on the spot.

In the past, Liu Zhan did not rob or burn because he regarded these villages as hens that lay eggs. Now he intends to attack the Yan army to prevent the Yan army from using these rich villages as their rear to attack Tongtian Pass in the future, and these villages have no value in existence.

Liu Zhan has been playing hide-and-seek with Yan Jun for several days. Every time Yan Jun arrives and the people have already left, Yan Jun’s captain becomes more and more angry. He has stepped up again and again but still can’t catch up with the bandits. Why do bandits seem to be able to walk?At the same time, Colonel Yan Jun was even more convinced that these bandits had been frightened and would only run away blindly.

Finally, the scouts of the Yan army came to report, and the bandits entered Zhou Shukou and never came out again.

Zhoushukou is a canyon connecting Qiyun Mountain and Yandi. The road in the canyon can only allow three people to pass side by side, but this canyon is not very long, and after passing through it is an open bush area.

Lieutenant Yanjun ordered the soldiers to enter the mountain with only a slight hesitation. These days, he had already figured out that the number of bandits was less than 1000, and he had three times the strength of the opponent, so he was not afraid at all.

When the last Yan soldier entered the Zhoushukou Canyon, a whistle sounded in the sky, and arrows flew over the canyon and boulders rolled.

"Ambush! There is an ambush!!"

A boulder blocked the retreat, and someone shouted to charge forward. At this moment, the bushes at the exit of Zhoushukou Canyon ignited raging fire, and the Yan army was crowded in the canyon, unable to advance or retreat!

At this time, Captain Yan Jun had already panicked, and he was already in a dead end before he even saw the bandit leader!

"I'm willing to surrender! I'm willing to surrender!" Colonel Yan Jun shouted loudly without thinking about his face. He is a son of a nobleman in Yandi. How could he die here if he still has a bright future!

On the cliff top of the canyon, Liu Zhan stood facing the wind with a long knife. "Take all of them and leave no one alive."

For half a day, the screaming in Zhoushukou Canyon gradually stopped, and none of the 3000 Yan troops survived!
