Chapter 1182: Urgently Go South
Gao Jie and the three of them raised troops and went out of the city overnight, and Mrs. Xing was sent to the south gate of the city reluctantly, not because of the love of children but because they were discussing an extremely secret matter.
"Not to mention that Chang Yu is unpredictable, even if the Taoist priest who follows him is also a master, does the husband think it is credible?" At the end, Mrs. Xing asked in a solemn and low voice.
Gao Jie frowned and looked at the lights of the city: "I believe Chang Yu's words, because he is very evil, I would rather believe it or not, but I went south and almost poured out the soldiers and horses in the city.
"No" Mrs. Xing shook her head: "Chang Yu said, if you want to start, please do it as soon as possible, if it's too late, I'm afraid of change."
"Madame are sure that it is not Chang Yu who wants to borrow a knife to kill people, but really change my life for me?" Gao Jie was suddenly a little suspicious of the little eunuch's motives.
Mrs. Xing smiled bitterly: "You also said that he is very evil, and you also said that you would rather believe it, even if it is a matter of killing people with a knife, we have to do it, not to mention that it is not good to leave that guy next to him to be big."
Gao Jie nodded: "I'm not as good as Mrs. with my brain, at this time you decide, in order to be foolproof, it's not too late to wait for the people behind to arrive."
Mrs. Xing nodded: "The concubine is free and measured, the husband just rest assured, when you go to the south, you must be careful and obedient, don't always babble, calm the chaos and build a meritorious career, but also earn face for our Gao family."
Gao Jie laughed: "Go back and give our Gao family a knight."
Mrs. Xing punched him: "You can be one of those titles, anyone can seal them......
The two talked again, and Gao Jie chased after Erliu.
"Madam, it's getting late and go back to the city early" Hu Maozhen and Li Benshen walked behind Mrs. Xing and persuaded softly, Gao Jie went south and the two of them should have gone together as henchmen, but staying in the city at this time was just waiting for the main force behind, and the more than 10,000 people were Gao Jie's belongings.
Mrs. Xing nodded, turned around and got into the carriage and entered the city, Hu Maozhen and Li Benshen were about to go to the barracks when she stopped them: "You two go back to the house with me, there are important matters to discuss."
The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, the night breeze is slow and the heat is faint, and a group of hundreds of cavalry slowly moved south along the official road, it was Chang Yu and his party, the reason why they left in a hurry at dusk was not because they deliberately alienated Liu Zeqing, but because Jinyiwei brought him the latest battle report from the south.
Although Li Zicheng's Eastern Expedition was repeatedly defeated on the battlefield by Chang Yu in Taiyuan and Baoding, it was a complete victory in strategy, even far beyond the original strategic goal, which not only consolidated the stability around Xi'an but also expanded the influence of the thief army to the extreme, and also plundered a large number of materials, sufficient family funds and cleaned up those cannon fodder burdens, although this trip was very sinister, but the harvest was immeasurable.
Perhaps it was inspired by Li Zicheng's side to hit the gate of the imperial capital in one breath, or the failure of the Eastern Expedition stimulated the Baiwang Department in the south, which went down and pointed at Nanjing with a sword, vowing to take Nanjing at the end of the summer.
The northern army is difficult to reach for a short time, but there must be a weighty person to sit in the town to stabilize the hearts of the army and the people, although Shi Kefa has arrived, but with his current influence is not qualified for this role, now, the court can stabilize the army and calm the hearts of the people Only the little eunuch!
Even if he went over alone, he could make people feel certain.
relies on the fame of Iron Horse Jingo in the past few months!
After getting the information, Chang Yu immediately decided to gallop to Nanjing, if the panic spreads there, there will be a wave of northward escape, and then there will be a series of butterfly effects...... The consequences will be even worse.
Chang Yu and his entourage set off to Tongshan at dusk when the night fell, Jin Shenghuan led more than ten people to wait for a long time, he was stationed in Xiao County, north of Xuzhou, the day before yesterday was ordered to come to Xu to chat with the little eunuch, and decided to follow him to the south to make contributions, and after hurriedly going back to make arrangements, he came with more than ten henchmen.
Jin Shenghuan is the deputy commander-in-chief, and the garrison cannot easily leave his post without permission, and must have the military order of the military department and the governor's office of the five armies, but at this moment, the imperial court has given Chang Yu the maximum right to transfer troops, because at this time, no one dares to give him a stumbling block, even if it is a bang, Emperor Chongzhen will take the lead in spraying, you fucking you can do it!
So the current attitude of the imperial court towards Chang Yu is that as long as you can fight and win, you can use whoever you like to use as you like, of course, if you want you to win or not, then don't blame us for settling accounts for you one by one.
"Can it be arranged? Don't let you go, the remnants of the Cheng thieves will rise again, and then the court will take the governor to blame" Chang Yu asked with a smile, Jin Shenghuan hurriedly patted his chest and promised: "Cheng Jikong, Wang Daoshan, Zhang Fangzao, the three thieves have been subdued, the remnants are scattered everywhere and hidden in the mountains and are not afraid, Xiaocheng has a guerrilla Liu Shichang in charge, he has rich experience in suppressing bandits and can't make a big mess, the governor can rest assured."
"That's good" Chang Yu smiled slightly: "The march is boring, so I will tell the governor the anecdotes of these three thieves, and how you exterminated them."
Under the starry sky, hundreds of people on the official road walked slowly, the wilderness was empty and there was not even a village in sight, the shadows of the mountains in the distance appeared and disappeared from time to time, Jin Shenghuan said the process of suppressing the bandits, everyone also listened with relish, and sighed when they heard the tension, the bandits were mostly mountainous and jungle battles, and the two armies fought fiercely on the plains, and there was a lot of difference.
"The three thieves are entrenched in the 100-mile range of Su Xiaoxu, and there are dozens of large and small forces, fighting separately on weekdays, and when they attack cities and plunder land or fight against officers and soldiers, they gather together with each other." As Jin Shenghuan spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to the dark mountain shadow due west: "There is a thief cave there, and the mountain is steep and easy to defend and difficult to attack."
When they looked up, they could not see anything in the night, and asked, "Where is that?" ”
"Huangzangyu" Jin Shenghuan said in a low voice: "This is where Liu Bang used to hide."
Most of the people are confused, but Chang Yu has heard that Liu Bang is a native of Fengxian County, Xuzhou, and it is rumored that he hid in this mountain when he was hunted by Qin soldiers, and later got the name Huangzangyu, which is even more famous for the emperor and queen.
"According to this, we still have to be more careful, we can't be plundered by thieves in the mountains as tribute" Lao Jiu said with a smile, but Jin Shenghuan took it seriously: "Last year, he entered the mountains several times to suppress bandits, and after the thieves were ambushed, these thieves were no longer in the climate, and they may have the courage to plunder the merchants, but they didn't dare to send him two guts to hundreds of officers and soldiers."
"Lao Tzu would like to see and understand" Lao Jiu sneered: "If you miss Shandong Xiangma, you will also be a ruthless character here" Jin Shenghuan was stunned and asked in a low voice: "I heard that the bandits in Shahu Mountain were destroyed by the ninth brother?" ”
This time it was Lao Jiu's turn to be surprised, the news spread so quickly, and then pouted: "What kind of bandit is he, at best, he is just a group of bandits."
The two chattered, and the words became closer and closer, and even began to praise each other, Chang Yu listened to it tastelessly, looked back at the carriage behind the team, and saw Su Jing sitting on the wheel with his sword on his back.
Li Muxian patted the horse closer: "That monk is really weird, he didn't see anyone during the day, and he didn't notice when he left, and he didn't know when he suddenly came out of nowhere."
Chang Yu smiled: "Monks only have monks' places, and monks only have monks' proportions, what do you care about so much."
"It's not that I'm nosy, but in fact, this monk is too strange and abrupt, and I always feel out of place with us," Li Muxian secretly glanced at Haihong who was leading a horse and holding a staff next to the carriage behind him.
Chang Yu raised his eyebrows: "Life is varied, different personalities, the night demon is cold and the monk is quiet, this is all due to their character, you can't ask everyone to be the same as you" said and pouted: "You are also a cultivator, you don't understand this truth, if you can change yourself, you can become a god, but if you always want to change others, you will become a neurotic."
Belch...... Li Muxian was stunned, and then gave up his hand: "The poor road has been taught."
Next to him, Wu Zhong laughed: "Ox nose...... He can't cultivate God in this life."
"Where?" Li Muxian rarely didn't get angry at him, but asked curiously, Wu Zhong shook his head: "Your cultivation is miscellaneous but not refined. ”
Li Muxian was stunned for a moment, and then fell into deep thought silently, Chang Yu saw this and said: "Don't listen to his nonsense, all roads lead to ...... Well, that avenue has thousands of different paths to the same end, and one of the Taoist elders cultivates all kinds of states in the world, maybe that one will lead to the immortal gate, and then talk about the Taoist chief's Qimen Dunjia technique, this governor still admires it very much."
"But doesn't the factory always say that those are all pretending to be ghosts?" Li Muxian was stunned and said, the little eunuch is actually very popular today.
Chang Yu smiled bitterly: "No way, in the eyes of the governor, it is indeed pretending to be a ghost, but it is very effective, this ......" said and spread his hands: "What is the way if you don't believe it."
To be honest, Chang Yu doesn't understand Buddhism or Taoism, and he doesn't even believe in these, but he respects everyone's beliefs, provided that he is a real Buddhist person, not a liar who runs the rivers and lakes.
Compared with a monk like Haihong, Li Muxian is too peculiar, he cultivated and entered the world, like a liar and also did things that were abducted and deceitful, but he was full of thaumaturgy, compared to some mysterious things.
