The Tianzhu soldiers and Tatars who came from Shagangzi to investigate stared at Yang Zhen and his group as they rushed over. Apart from silently complaining about bad luck, they did not dare to say anything more. At most, they could only curse a few words in their hearts.

In this era, the so-called Manchu Tatar Han military camps that surrendered to the Manchu and Qing Dynasties had a very low status in front of the real Tatars.

Although Huang Taiji regarded them as human beings, none of the other Manchu-Tatar banner lords, Beile, princes, or ministers really regarded them as human beings.

In particular, Duduo, the leader of the flag with a white flag, and the Manchu Tatars under his command with a white flag, have conflicts of interest with the Tianzhu soldiers stationed in southern Liaoning, and even more so the two Tatars under Shang Kexi.

When people see it.

Just like this, if the Tianzhu soldiers don't do their duty, the master with a white flag will punish them for not doing their duty. But if they do their duty a little more, they will be accused of being meddlesome like today.

The masters with white flags whipped and insulted him.

After Yang Zhen and his entourage rode past, this group of Tianzhu soldiers were left behind, muttering to themselves as they walked away, and secretly shouting that they were unlucky. However, they had no idea that this was a group of Ming soldiers disguised as men and horses with white flags.

Officers and soldiers.

After rushing through the post road where Shagangzi was located, Yang Zhen and others slowed down. They were faster on horseback and took the land route, so they had to wait for the group of people taking the sea route.

If Yang Zhen and others arrived first and successfully deceived the city gate, but if Yuan Jin, Hu Changhai and others did not arrive in time and could not connect with each other, it would be troublesome.

Therefore, after passing the Shagangzi checkpoint, Yang Zhen and others deliberately slowed down the speed as agreed before, which was equivalent to leaving some energy for their own troops so that they could use their energy in key places.

"Sir! Just now when we were rushing to check in, we heard the group of two Tatars shouting that Mr. Boluo Bei had an order and asked them to check the passers-by. Could it be that - what changes have happened in Gaizhou City at this time?!"

Yang Zhen and others slowed down their horses, and the group of people walked forward. Lu Pinqi caught up again, came to Yang Zhen's side, and once again expressed his doubts.

Those words raised by Lu Pinqi were heard by Yang Zhen and several other generals when they were just charging. They didn't take it seriously at the time. But when Lu Pinqi mentioned it again, it gradually attracted everyone's attention, so they all gathered together again.

When I arrived near Yang Zhen, I wanted to hear what Yang Zhen had to say.

"Brother Qiu! Do you know what is going on with that bastard Bolo? When you and the traitor Xu Erxian passed through Gaizhou City, was this bastard Bolo in the city?!"

Yang Zhen couldn't answer Lu Pinqi's question for the moment, so he had to ask Qiu Zhenhai, the only man in the army who had ever entered Gaizhou City, to ask this question.

At this time, I heard Qiu Zhenhai say: "When I first passed through Gaizhou City, Zhang Kushan, the head of Jia La Zhangjing, was in the city. I had never seen Bolo! I thought he was not in the city! But -"

Having said this, Qiu Zhenhai paused, thought for a while and then said: "But -, this Bolo, I have heard of him! If I remember correctly, he is Aba, the king of Raoyu County, a Manchu Tatar."

Tai’s son, who is currently a Gushanbeizi from Manta, is now serving in Xiangbaiqili!”

"How could this Gushan Beizi Boluo give orders to the two Tatars in Shagangzi to check people coming and going?! Could it be that this Beizi Boluo is in Gaizhou City right now?!"

After listening to what Qiu Zhenhai said, Zhang Chen, who was not far from Yang Zhen, took the lead in asking a question that surprised everyone.

Yang Zhen's mind also changed in an instant, and he thought about many possibilities. If it is as Zhang Chen suspected, the Tatars sent new troops to Gaizhou City, then the difficulty of attacking Gaizhou City will increase.

Quite a few!

Furthermore, my group disguised themselves as Zhang Kushan's men and headed north, hoping to use Zhang Kushan's flag as a guise to easily trick them into the city.

But if there is such a Tatar Gushan Beizi with a white flag in the city, then Changkushan's flag will be of little use!

Thinking of this, Yang Zhen looked back at the way he came, only to see that the sky was low, the surrounding fields were dark, and the last ray of sunset in the western sky had disappeared, leaving only a faint starlight in the distant sky.

"Whether Gushan Beizi Bolo is in Gaizhou City or not, once we get here, there is no turning back! It doesn't matter if he is here or not! Our plan remains unchanged!"

Yang Zhen's tone of voice was low and firm. After listening to it, the generals thought about it and could only nod in agreement. At this point, if they don't bite the bullet and move forward, what can they do?!

Yuan Jin, Hu Changhai and their main group are still floating on the sea. If they withdraw because of such an uncertain thing, what will they do?!

And without the fleet led by Yuan Jin and Hu Changhai, where can our troops retreat to?!

Yang Zhen saw that several generals were in a dull mood, and then continued: "What a bird! It's not like I haven't killed the Tartar Beizi Master before! We were able to kill Luotuo last time, and we can do it this time."

Kill this bird Bolo!”

Having said this, Yang Zhen looked at the generals and saw that they were all nodding. His morale, which had been a little low for a moment, was finally boosted. He then said to Qiu Zhenhai:

"Brother Qiu! It seems I have to work harder on you and get some bloody white cloth bandages to wrap up my head and face! - I thought we pretended to be Zhang Kushan's men and got away with it!

"But now it seems that if this Gushan Beizi Bolo is in the city and has issued an order to strictly inspect pedestrians, then Zhang Kushan himself will have to come forward!"

We have to have Zhang Kushan himself come forward?!

After Qiu Zhenhai heard this, he was stunned for a moment like everyone else, and then quickly realized Yang Zhen's intention.

Their group needs Zhang Kushan to come forward, but Zhang Kushan is already dead, so someone needs to pretend to be there. But at the same time, how can the two Tatars outside Gaizhou City not know Zhang Kushan?

Good for Jia La Zhang Jing who is in Gaizhou?!

Therefore, Yang Zhen needed someone to pretend to be Zhang Kushan, but he could not let the Tatars and two Tatars in the city or outside the city recognize at a glance that he was not Zhang Kushan.

The generals who followed Yang Zhen were all talented people. Although what Yang Zhen said was simple, everyone soon felt the opposite.

There was no need for Qiu Zhenhai to get off his horse and look for it. Soon, someone found a white cloth shirt full of black bloodstains from somewhere and handed it to him.

Qiu Zhenhai chuckled and took it, took off the arrow helmet on his head, took the white cloth shirt with dried blood, and wrapped half of his head and half of his face, especially the mouth and nose, and then tied it up.

, buttoned up his arrow helmet again, and nodded at Yang Zhenzhi.

As soon as Qiu Zhenhai's appearance came out, Lu Pinqi, Gao Chengyou and others couldn't help laughing and making fun of him. Seeing that everyone's nervousness had eased, Yang Zhen saw that it was getting late and immediately gave the order to continue moving forward.

The group of people walked along the post road, looking at the sky and counting the hours, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, walking and stopping. After about half an hour, they finally saw a small patch of lights flickering in the distance in front of them.

"Everyone! The Qinghe Bridge has arrived! This place is very close to Gaizhou City and is the last checkpoint! Pass the order! No one is allowed to speak without my order!"

When the generals who were originally following Yang Zhen heard these words, they all knew that the critical moment had arrived, and they immediately left and returned to their respective teams behind.

There are only three people left in front of the head, Yang Zhen, Ma Keqing, and Qiu Zhenhai. At this time, Qiu Zhenhai is in the middle, Ma Keqing is on the left holding the flag of Zhangku Shanjia La Zhangjing, and Yang Zhen is on the right.

Under the banner of Xu Erxian's command of Heavenly Assistance, Qiu Zhenhai followed closely behind.

Accompanied by the clatter of horse hooves, the group of people walked slowly towards the light of a checkpoint on the other side of Qinghe Bridge.

"Who!?"

Yang Zhen and his party were still some distance away from the Qinghe Bridge when they saw a Tatar wearing a bamboo hat and a cool hat running over while shouting something.

Yang Zhen heard that the person who came was speaking Chinese, and knew that the other party would still know the Tianzhu soldiers sent by Shagangzi to patrol the Qinghe Bridge. He immediately rushed to Ma Keqing. Qiu Zhenhai made a gesture and continued to move forward unmoved.

.

The two Tatars held a torch in one hand and pressed the handle of the knife with the other. When they saw the group of people walking in the distance, they seemed to be deaf to their own shouts. At that moment, they drew out their swords and looked at Yang Zhen and others while running towards them, while getting more and more excited.

He yelled louder and more aggressively:

"Hey! Hey! Hey! What about you? Where did he come from?! Who is he?!"

Yang Zhen and his party didn't have any torches. Although there was a long line of troops behind them, they couldn't see exactly how many people there were in the darkness.

The leader of the two Tatars who was responsible for guarding the Qinghe Bridge, holding a torch in one hand and a waist knife in the other, walked straight over. When he was almost in front of Yang Zhen's horse, he stretched out his hand and raised the torch in the direction of Yang Zhen.

At this moment, Yang Zhen suddenly turned over and dismounted without any warning, quickly took a few steps forward, rounded his right arm with lightning speed, and slapped him fiercely.

There was only a crisp sound of "pop", and Yang Zhen's slap hit the face of the two Tatar leader. At the same time, Yang Zhen also yelled:
Chapter completed!
