On February 23rd of the seventh year of Daye, Shan Xiongxin stood on a hilltop near the Zhangshui River in Zhangnan County, Qinghe County. There were some small ice floes floating in the river, and the small bridge over the river was very narrow.

It is only more than twenty miles away from Zhangnan County, and only a hundred miles away from Qinghe County.

Behind and in front of Shan Xiongxin is a long marching column, each with a distance of one hundred steps. The first thousand soldiers from Rongcheng County have arrived at the river and are ready to cross the river.

The sentry cavalry sent by Shan Xiongxin was already five miles away from the other side of the river, and the sentry cavalry never sent back any information about the enemy. In accordance with the requirements of the "March and Combat Regulations" issued by the Snake Island Training Camp to each battalion, they were meticulously implemented.

More than 20 explorers had already crossed the river first, and after crossing the bridge, they dispersed to the nearby hills.

Shan Xiongxin looked at the back of the cavalry running, with a calm and a touch of boredom on his face, without the slightest tension that should be faced with a big battle. Although he led 8,000 county soldiers, the enemy was too weak in his opinion. What's more, the Military Intelligence Department has already infiltrated the anti-thieves in Zhangnan, and they have a clear grasp of the situation of the anti-thieves, but before they set off, they read the report about the anti-thieves sent by Mr. Shan Xiongxin paid more attention to the information.

First let me talk about the details of the two thieves, Dou Jiande and Sun Anzu, they are not ordinary farmers or grassroots.

Sun Anzu is Qinghe County

A native of Zhangnan County, with high martial arts skills, he served as the commander of a hundred in the army when he was young, and led the army with Yang Su and Yang Guang to conquer the Chen Dynasty. Last year, his village was flooded and his wife died of starvation. The government still forced him to serve in the army, conquered Goguryeo, killed the county magistrate in anger, and fled to the home of his friend Dou Jiande. Because the government was in a hurry to pursue him, De Jiande helped him in his rebellion, calling himself General and Duke Moyang.

And Dou Jiande is also not an ordinary person, a native of Zhangnan County, but he is a descendant of Dou Rong, the great Sikong of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and a great-great-grandson of Dou Tuo, King Xuan of Liaodong. Born in the Dou family of Fufeng, he has worked in agriculture for generations. He believed in Rannuo and served as the head of the village. When recruiting soldiers in Goguryeo last year, he served as the leader of two hundred people. I don't know if it was because of the indignation of the soldiers and the people, or because of other reasons. Anyway, he resisted following Yang Guangdong. , leading more than fifty rivers and lakes warriors from Qinghe County, gathered more than a thousand refugees, and rose up.

It took only half a year for the two of them to become rebels. Before that, the local army in Qinghe County launched three siege campaigns against them, but they failed to wipe them out. More than 1,000 people in the past have become more than 10,000 people today.

Because he has experienced three anti-encirclement campaigns against the imperial army, and because Sun Anzu was originally a centurion commander of the Sui army, he is also familiar with military training. This person is even better at winning people's hearts, so although the equipment of the rebels can only be regarded as similar to that of bandits, their organizational skills are not bad, and they robbed many big families after the incident.

The most important thing is that they led people to attack the county seat of Zhangnan County. The county soldiers in Zhangnan County are no better than those in Fanyang County. The 1,000 real ranks are full, and the officials are empty-handed. Although Wei was panicked, he still had some ability. He immediately sent an emergency to the county seat of Qingshui County. at stake.

In Qinghe County, there is another high-ranking clan with seven clans and five surnames—the Cui family of Qinghe.

Like Yang County, the Cui family is equivalent to the existence of the emperor of the earth. After Cui heard that there was chaos in Zhangnan County, he didn't want to create a big chaos in front of his own house, so he put pressure on the prefect of Qinghe County and Yingyang Mansion. Qinghe County The prefect and Yingyang Fulang will immediately mobilize 20,000 county soldiers to suppress the bandits.

It's just that Dou Jiande and Sun Anzu, with the cooperation of traitors, easily broke through Zhangnan County, plundered wantonly, led a large amount of food, grass and money, and abandoned the city, entering Gaojipo, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, to deal with the county soldiers. The 20,000 soldiers of Qinghe County insisted that they could not do anything to them, which made the two of them even more famous. Many poor people in Qinghe County who could not survive their lives attracted their attention, and their power grew stronger and stronger.

Seeing that the rebels in Gaojibo could not be wiped out, the prefect of Qinghe County asked for help from the imperial court. However, there were no fewer than a hundred rebels in the Sui Dynasty, and the Cui family was here in Qinghe County, so Yang Guang never sent troops to help . It wasn't until Wang Junlin ordered Shen Guang and Xu Jingzong to operate secretly in Luoyang that the court and Yang Guang ordered Wang Junlin to send people to exterminate the Gaojibo rebels. Wang Junlin "reluctantly" sent people to start preparing Shan Xiongxin led eight thousand county soldiers over for training.

Shan Xiongxin's outposts, coupled with the information sent back by the secret agents of the Military Intelligence Office, confirmed that the rebels are currently hiding in Gaojibo, no matter what happened to the prefect of Qinghe County, the Yingyanglang Mansion, and the Cui family of Qinghe I thought, directly lead the troops into Zhangnan County, Qinghe County, and after two days of marching, they will rush to the Zhangshui River, and they will be able to fight the rebels tomorrow. Shan Xiongxin's Xiongwuying 10,000 talents just set off from Fanyang County and followed behind as a preparation and response to emergencies.

…

At this time, the cavalry crossing the river had already stood on the ridge, unfurling small green square flags. According to the unified marching regulations issued by the Snake Island training camp, scouts and cavalry must be dispatched to search for dangerous obstacles, rivers, valley mouths, high mountains and dense forests, etc. Army is almost impossible.

The captain of the Xiongwu Camp reconnaissance team stood next to Shan Xiongxin, the general of Xiongwu Yinglang, scanned the mountain, and looked at the other side of the Zhangshui River with a telescope. After counting the flags carefully, he said to Shan Xiong: "General, The three-mile radius on the other side of the Zhangshui River has been searched, and there is no trace of the enemy. Please tell the general whether the army will start crossing the river."
