The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire Chapter 65: Broken customs

　　 After the settlement of Xicheng County, Zhong Yu did not set off for the direction of Zhongjun City in the Western Han Dynasty.

　　 Instead, they turned to the north and attacked the four northern counties of Xunyang, Changli, Xi, and Wuling.

　　 Except for Wuling County, these four counties have tighter defenses, because each of them has some checkpoints to guard the traffic between Yizhou and Guanzhong.

　　 This is also the reason why Zhong Yu wanted to attack them first, instead of breaking them separately, robbing their fortresses, and cutting off communication with Guanzhong, how dare he rest assured and capture the entire Hanzhong!

　　 Yizhou mountains are blocked, full of dangerous places, and often only one road needs to be guarded, so that the army of the court can look at Guan and sigh, and do nothing.

　　 So I only need to send a few hundred people to guard these levels, basically without any accidents, I can sit back and relax. Unless the imperial court sends him tens of thousands of troops, he will fight fiercely regardless of life and death, and fill these barriers with human lives.

　　 But it’s impossible to think about it. In the north, there are the Xianbei people who always take the borders, the Qiang people in the west are always in chaos, and the mountains and barbarians in the south are constantly plundering property.

　　 is only because of the sea to the east, there is no major trouble, but there are also many pirates there to make a living.

　　 There are also constant people inside. Because life can't continue to rebel, there are robbers everywhere, traffic has been blocked a lot, and the imperial court's control over the locality has gradually weakened.

　　We need soldiers everywhere, so how can it be possible to show that he is almighty to fill these levels? What's more, he is not without soldiers and horses to send reinforcements.

　　I just said that the defenses of the three counties are stricter than those in other inland areas. But it is not mainly aimed at the hinterland of the south, but is looking after the refugees in the north.

　　In recent years, natural and man-made disasters have continued, and people everywhere have been displaced, running around constantly, hoping to find a safe place everywhere.

　　 But the county chiefs everywhere are often afraid to accept them, because their county doesn’t have enough food, why can’t they tell the refugees?

　　 can only force them to be expelled, it is impossible to expel them, so I will follow them, but they will also send troops to guard them strictly.

　　 So for those levels, the main responsibility now is to see if there are any refugees among the pedestrians in the past. Identify them, stop them outside the pass, and prevent them from entering the Hanzhong realm.

　　 If you find that there are bold people who want to break into Hanzhong forcibly, then it is the moment of their role. Directly kill, use **** corpses to warn all the refugees.

　　 During this period of time, there was another disaster in the north, and the number of refugees increased. I don't know how many people want to enter the fertile Hanzhong in the south. There were dozens of corpse capitals in front of the gate, but they still couldn't stop the enthusiasm of those people.

　　 Therefore, the defenses in the north of the level are often constructed very well, and they feel majestic at first glance. The defense in the south is not very good, and it can even be said to be crude.

　　 This is also a characteristic of the ancient feudal dynasty. After all, all city defenses are used to defend against the enemy, so how can they deliberately build something to defend themselves?

　　 Not to mention the waste of resources, on the contrary, it caused the insiders to be eccentric. Even if he really suspects that his subordinates have rebellion, they will only investigate secretly, and will not speak out and startle the snake.

　　 But their cheapness just gave Zhong Yu the opportunity to easily break through from the rear, usually easy to defend and difficult to overcome.

　　 took advantage of their defensive omissions, and finally led troops around the county seat and went straight to the checkpoint in the north of the county seat, hoping to take the checkpoint first.

　　 By then, the county seat will be the turtle in the urn, and it will be its own territory, where can it go?

　　 A few miles away from the level, Zhong Yu asked his soldiers to change clothes and do some handyman, and he changed to look like a businessman.

　　 pretends to be a caravan to go to the northern Guanzhong for business, while a group of soldiers hides in a carriage.

　　 There are caravans going to the north to trade. These soldiers can also charge a generous toll, so they are not too embarrassed.

　　 This is their God of Wealth. If you offend them now, and they don’t come this way in the future, it’s not because you have lost money for nothing.

　　 So I finally took out a very heavy wallet a little, and gave it to the guard chief of the city gate with a smile on his face.

　　 The city gate chief smiled, chatted with himself a few words, and then ordered the soldiers behind to open the city gate and let him pass.

　　 opened the gate of the city easily, and Zhong Yu suddenly attacked, drew a few knives from the carriage, hacked and killed all the soldiers at the gate of the city.

　　 The soldiers' eyes opened when they died, telling people clearly that they couldn't believe that the kind-looking businessman turned out to be the enemy.

　　If there is an enemy, why is there no one from every county along the way to report? Still, there are rebellions in this county, in short, their grievances must be heavy.

After 　　 occupied the city gate, Zhong Yu had a road leading to the city gate. He signaled the soldiers behind him to rush forward, saying that before the people in the checkpoint could react, they would occupy the dangerous terrain as much as possible.

　　 and he slowly retreated to the back, and under the protection of several cavalrymen, they came to a safe rear, away from the battlefield.

　　 He wouldn't really rush forward and make jokes with his own life. It was just a last resort.

　　 There are some rough people under their hands, they are all shots, and they don't have much culture. How can you expect them to win the trust of the checkpoint guards and make them believe that those people are businessmen?

　　 is also the only person who usually pampers ~ IndoMTL.com~ who knows some words, went up to deal with the guards. The main reason is that there are too few talents, and if there are enough talents in the future, I will never do this kind of adventurous thing again.

　　 After opening the gate of the level, I entered the level. The most dangerous level has been given to me by myself, and there are no major twists and turns in the rest.

　　The soldiers under his team are extremely elite. Although the level soldiers have killed a few refugees, they are still inferior to the soldiers who have gone through the battlefield and went to the battlefield.

　　 just resisted for a while, realizing that he was not the enemy's opponent at all, so he put down his weapons and surrendered neatly, or turned around and fled.

　　 However, even if those people want to escape, they can’t escape, it’s just a waste of time, and even take their own lives.

　　 Zhong Yu, who had a foresight, sent his cavalry to the gate leading to the north as early as the moment he entered the city.

　　 There are those elite cavalrymen, no one should ever go out to the north through that city gate to inform the news.

　　 However, within half an hour, this small checkpoint was calmed down by my own soldiers. All the guards, captured or dropped, were all really tough, and a crossbow arrow was shot to death.

　　 Zhong Yu still cherishes his soldiers very much, they are all luck. Therefore, the place where they can save their lives must be preserved as much as possible, and they will never be consumed meaninglessly.

　　 So if there are conditions, those who try to resist and occupy dangerous enemies, Zhong Yu will try his best to use his weapon advantage to make those people desperate.

　　 is like a guard in this level, trying to fight his own soldiers, but he directly ordered the cavalry to take out their own crossbows and shoot them with one arrow to keep their accounts at the time.
