Three Kingdoms Swept the World II

Chapter 1173
Zhang Liao and the others surrounded Zhao Yun.

Huang Zhong snatched Zhao Yun's saber and said: "Everyone of us did our best, if General Zhao blames himself so much, what face do we have in this world?"

Ma Chao said: "General Zhao, my master said, don't abandon, don't give up. We didn't abandon a soldier, and we can't give up hope."

Zhao Yun finally calmed down.

However, where is the hope?

Are you starving to death here?

At this time, a shout came from a distance, "General! General!"

A scout from the Qin army came galloping on horseback, got close, and got off his horse.The horse immediately fell to the ground, screaming, and it seemed that it was going to die.

During the difficult expedition, the war horse was exhausted, and this was the last horse of the Qin Army's expeditionary force.

Seeing the scouts' excited appearance, Zhao Yun and others suddenly looked forward to it.

The scout turned over and fell to the ground, pointed to the east with his backhand, and shouted: "The southern foot of Minshan Mountain, the southern foothill of Minshan Mountain, is just twenty miles away!"

For Qin Jun, this was simply explosive news.After a long and difficult march, just when everyone thought they could not get out of the vast grassland, they finally found the border of Xichuan.

"We're out of the grass!"

With a shout, the news spread to the Qin army.Too many soldiers of the Qin Army supported each other and stood up. They wanted to cheer while they were on the verge of falling, but they quickly collapsed on the ground again and couldn't stand up again.

Although there are only [-] miles left to the northwest border of Xichuan, [-]% of the soldiers of the Qin army can no longer complete the [-] miles.

Pang De said: "General Zhao, let's get some food back..."

Zhao Yun nodded, then pointed at the exhausted war horse and said, "Take care of this horse and stew it for the soldiers who can still move."

The fighters who can still act independently today are all the best of the best.

500 people, each of them just ate a small piece of horse meat and drank a bowl of broth, and they became alive and well.

No matter how Zhao Yun and the others tried to persuade them, the five hundred elites never ate any more.

"General, we are full and refreshed. Let's leave the rest to the comrades who need it most." They all patted their chests and said.

Although he has endured unimaginable sufferings, Qin Jun's spirit has been tempered and sublimated once.

So, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao took the five hundred elites and hurriedly marched to the southern foot of Minshan Mountain.

Xichuan is surrounded by mountains, and Minshan is the mountainous area in the northwest of Xichuan, which is the source of Minjiang River.

"The Minjiang River runs parallel to the Tuojiang River and runs through the middle of Sichuan. It is not far from Jiangyou in the upper reaches of the Tuojiang River."

Jiangyou is Zhao Yun's primary goal. Seizing Jiangyou will cut off the connection between the Jiange defense line of the Shu army and the Chengdu defense line.More importantly, if the Jiangyou Plain is captured, the Shu army will lose the land produced by logistics.An army with no rear and no logistical output has already failed.

Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao said this.

"General, we found a village ahead!"

Zhang Liao said joyfully, "Great, let's go buy some food from my fellow villagers."

Unavoidable to encounter the Shu army, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao let the soldiers hide in the mountains and forests.The two of them took off their armor, put on makeup and entered the village as ordinary people.

In the afternoon, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao came to this village with six soldiers pretending to be casual.I saw a wooden archway standing at the entrance of the village, with three big characters written on it, 'Jiuzhaigou'.

Jiuzhaigou, later generations will be terrible, it is a world natural heritage, a national key scenic spot, a national AAAAA-level tourist attraction, a national nature reserve, a national geological park, and a network of world biosphere reserves. The main purpose of the nature reserve.

Jiuzhaigou is located in Jiuzhaigou County, Sichuan Province, in the transition zone from the West Plateau to the Xichuan Basin, more than 400 kilometers away from Chengdu.

Zhao Yun and the others were brought here from the transition zone from the Western Plateau to the Xichuan Basin, so they came here.

The scenery of Jiuzhaigou is really wonderful, like a fairyland on earth. However, Zhao Yun and others have not noticed this at all.

There were people coming in and out at the entrance of the village, all of them looked bad and bitter.

"Who are you?" The villager asked warily.

Zhao Yun hurriedly said: "This fellow, we are businessmen traveling on foot. We came to our village to see if there are any mountain goods we can collect. I don't know where we can find the village chief?"

"Are you collecting mountain goods?" The villager's complexion improved.

The village chief personally led the way and led Zhao Yun and others to the village chief's house.

"The village head, the village head, there are people who collect mountain goods."

An old man walked out of the house, and it was Zheng Zhi, the head of the village.

Zheng Zhi looked at Zhao Yun and the others, his eyes were full of vigilance and distrust, he led Zhao Yun to a room stocked with mountain goods, pointed at furs and herbs, and said: "That's all, you can take it or not, If you can accept it, I will take you to various houses, if you can’t accept it, you should leave me quickly.”

Zheng Zhi spoke very bluntly.

The villager Zheng Zhu said: "We are fighting now, and the Shu army is using the method of sitting together, which is different from usual. You are really brave to come out to receive the goods at this time."

Zhang Liao said with a gentle smile, "Village chief, is there any food?"

"No!" Zheng Zhi didn't even think about it, he immediately became more suspicious, and said: "Dazhu, send these people out of the village immediately, and prohibit any outsiders from entering the village in the future."

"Village Chief." Zhao Yun said, "We are in urgent need of food. If we have time, the price will be negotiable."

While driving Zhao Yun and the others out, Zheng Zhi said: "No, no, they have already been handed over, and there is still food there."

Zheng Zhu said from the side: "If you still dare to collect food, you will be beheaded."

"Stop talking nonsense, kid." Zheng Zhi scolded.Zheng Zhu shrank his neck and fell silent.

Zhao Yun and his party were kicked out of the village chief's house, and he heard something from Zheng Zhu's words.Now he needs food too much, so Zhao Yun intends to identify himself and seek help.

Zhang Liao reminded: "The Shu army carried out such tortures as continuous sitting. If we reveal our identities or are accused, all previous efforts will be wasted and the mission will fail."

Zhao Yundao: "The only way to get food is from the local people. Without food, nothing can be done."

So they went back again.

"Hey, what's the matter with you people, why are you back again? If you don't leave, we will report to the officials. The Shu army is coming, and you will not end well." Zheng Zhi finally reminded.

Zheng Zhu stared, and shouted, "If you don't leave, I'll beat the gong and call someone out."

Zhao Yun hastily signaled not to misunderstand. After thinking twice, he still revealed his identity, "We are not businessmen..."

After a while, the village chief Zheng Zhi and the village butler Zheng Zhu both stared wide-eyed.

"Qin Jun is here, Qin Jun is here!" Zheng Zhu was greatly stimulated, shouting and running outside.

Zhang Liao was taken aback. If this alarmed the Shu army, the mission would be over. He went up and grabbed Zheng Zhu, covering his mouth.

"Woo~." Zheng Zhu struggled.
