Chapter 561
"If there are nobles who help Wang Kuang, they will all be wiped out."

I don't know when this rumor appeared in Huai County, and the gentry in Huai County sent troops to help Wang Kuang defend the city in order to protect themselves.

The gentry who originally wanted to join the Lucheng Army have hesitated, because Zhang Fei wiped out the Sima clan who rejoined the Lucheng Army, and they have not yet joined the Lucheng Army.

Since Wang Kuang drove Zhang Fei's emissary out of Huaicheng with his nose cut and ink painted on, the nobles in Huai County had no choice but to defend the city, waiting for most of the Yuan army to come to help.

However, the news just changed. All the west of Qinshui belonged to the Lucheng Army, and Cui Juye, who held the army, fled to the Xiuwu generation.

After Zhang Fei came here with equipment from Jian Hu, he swung his army to attack the city. Zhang Yan acted as a vanguard to show his loyalty. He personally led his men to attack the city.

Zhang Fei besieged the city for half a month, although Huai County was in danger, it was still in Wang Kuang's hands. Although Zhang Fei shot letters of surrender several times into the city, the gentry in the city remained unmoved, fearing that they would become the second Sima family.

Zhang Fei repeatedly attacked Huai County, and Han Hao broke through the dungeons and high platforms, until the nest wagons were brought from Jinyang, and dozens of nest wagons appeared under the Huai County city.

The Lucheng army continuously boarded the city wall of Huai County through nest vehicles. Once the sword and shield soldiers occupied the top of the city, the pikemen quickly swarmed up and crushed the Hanoi soldiers guarding the city with sharp spear phalanxes.

Hanoi soldiers were driven off the city, Lu Chengjun took the opportunity to capture the gate of Huai County, Zhang Fei led cavalry into the city, Hanoi soldiers were defeated, Wang Kuang was surrounded by his subordinates and left Huai County in the chaos, and Xiaowei Han Hao was captured alive by Zhang Yan.

The first thing Zhang Fei did after acquiring Huai County was to calm the people, restore the order in Huai County, rectify military discipline, and establish a good image of the Lucheng Army.

Zhang Fei was in Hanoi, and Jia Xu was showing his talents in Wuwei. At this time, Zhang Yun led the elite of the Imperial Forest Army around Micang Mountain. Although Yan Pu led the way, the strength of the Imperial Forest Army is climbing mountains and wading. However, the Bashan Mountains are more dangerous than Zhang He imagined. .

Zhang He led the team just after climbing a mountain, looked at the dazzling sun, licked his chapped lips and said to Yan Pu: "Sir, how long will it take to climb out of Micang Mountain?"

Yan Pu also shook his head, and asked the short and strong Ba man beside him, the Ba man babbled a lot, but Zhang He didn't understand a word, so Yan Pu understood a little bit by guessing, and said to Zhang He: " Zhang Zhonglang, I'm afraid we still have two or three days to go?"

"Two or three days?"

Zhang He muttered, then suddenly turned to Liu Zhiran beside him and said, "How much dry food do we have?"

Liu Zhiran licked the same chapped lips and said: "The dry food is enough, but there is not much water. If this continues, maybe we will die of thirst."

Zhang Ying nodded, Liu Zhiran is a younger brother of Liu Bei's clan, although he is brave and ordinary in strategy, but he is an old man of the Imperial Forest Army, plus he is a younger brother of Liu Bei's clan, so he is deeply loved by the soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army because of his sincerity and simplicity, sometimes more than Zhang He people respect.

Zhang He said to Yan Pu: "Sir, we are running out of water? Is there any water source in this place?"

After Yan Pu listened, he pointed fingers at the Naba man for a long time, and then the Ba man slapped his head and made a gesture of drinking water. Yan Pu and Zhang He nodded repeatedly.

"Water? Lai?"

The Ba man pointed in one direction and hesitated, Zhang Yun seemed to understand a little bit, and said to Liu Zhiran: "Zhiran, take a few people to find the water source, you stay here."

Liu Zhiran said: "Zhong Lang, let someone go! You are the leader of an army, you must not leave the army lightly."

Zhang He said: "Go, you have more experience in emergency response in this deep mountain and old forest, so it's better for you to stay, and you can deal with it in case of an accident."

"Here!"

Liu Zhiran didn't refuse after hearing the words.

Zhang He took a team of personal guards and followed the Ba men and Yan Pu into a small ravine, turned around and walked to a valley, but suddenly saw that when he entered the valley, there were wild flowers everywhere, and there were many Ba people walking back and forth. They saw that the Ba men greeted them in the Ba language, so they were not surprised that the Han people like Zhang He came.

Yan Pu said to Zhang He: "This generation of Ba people all believe in the five-dou rice way, and many of them understand some simple Chinese, and there are often Han businessmen in the family, so they are no strangers to Han people."

Zhang He nodded, only some children looked around Zhang He and his party, and they were particularly interested in the bright light armor and the first knife on Zhang He's body.

A Ba child timidly walked up to Zhang He, and said, "General... general, can you let someone see your knife?"

Although Ba children are not proficient in Chinese, they may be able to communicate at least, which made Zhang Xi very happy: "Knife, a sharp weapon for killing, is not something children can play with."

After Zhang He finished speaking, the child walked away with a disappointed face, and the child next to him burst into laughter. Even though the language was different, Zhang He still understood that the child was being laughed at.

Zhang He was trying to comfort him, when suddenly the former Ba man led a Ba man to appear in front of Zhang He, the Ba man pointed at Zhang He and Yan Pu hesitated for a long time, and the Ba man kept frowning.

Zhang He and Yan Pu could only listen in a daze, but Zhang He suddenly saw the Chinese-speaking child and immediately waved to him: "Little brother, come on, come on."

The child couldn't believe it when he saw Zhang Yun calling him, and ran over after a while, saying: "General, yes, what's the matter?"

Zhang He said: "A certain person can't speak Ba, and my husband can't speak Chinese, can you speak Ba for me?"

The kid nodded sharply.

Zhang He smiled: "Please tell the old man that I came here to fetch water. If possible, it is best to exchange some salt and food. I can exchange it with money."

The child blinked when he heard it, and Zhang He said it twice before the child remembered it. He saw what the child said to the old man in Ba language. After a while, the child said: "It's no problem to get water, and it's okay to change food and salt, but You can't use money, you have to use your weapons."

"weapon?"

This time Zhang Yun crossed Micang Mountain with as little luggage as possible, and even less armor. In addition to the necessary bows and arrows, each person had a knife and a shield.

Zhang He gritted his teeth and asked, "I don't have a knife, but can I use a bow and arrow?"

The child chattered with the old man for a while, and the old man chatted again, and the child asked, "Are the bows and arrows sharp?"

Zhang He didn't say anything, he looked up at the sky, and there happened to be a group of birds flying by in the sky, Zhang He took out his bow and set up an arrow without saying a word, and one arrow shot down two birds.

The old man of the Ba nationality was shocked, and immediately regarded Zhang He as a god. He not only agreed to exchange food and salt, but also asked Zhang He to stay overnight.

When the Imperial Forest Army came to this valley, the Imperial Forest Army exchanged a lot of Ba people's belongings with their belongings. That night, the old Ba people held a bonfire party for the Imperial Forest Army, and some soldiers even had an affair.

The old man who got a batch of bows and arrows on the second day sent his son to lead a part of the tribe to lead the imperial forest army out of the mountain.

Before Zhang He left, he took out a dagger and handed it to the child, saying, "Daggers are for children. By the way, what's your name?"

The child said in unfamiliar Chinese: "So-and-so is the king, Wang Ping."
