Drive......

Yang Qing took the only three remaining subordinates to gallop on the official road, anxious like a lost dog, panicked like a fish that slipped through the net, and ran for nearly thirty miles in one go, until he found that the tower-like strong man behind him was not chasing, and then gradually slowed down.

If it is a car that runs all the way for 30 miles, it is certainly no problem, but the flesh and blood of the horse cannot stand it, and the heart will fail due to insufficient blood supply. Yang Qing retracted the reins, and the war horse under his crotch became weak, and he fell directly to the ground and gasped, and the situation of the three subordinates behind him was similar.

Yang Qing rolled off the horse in embarrassment, lying on his back on the side of the road to gasp, and his three subordinates also fell on the spot.

These guys were subjected to a night of cold wind last night, and they were hungry all the time, and then they ran all the way for their lives, and now they almost collapsed.

Yang Qing looked at the clear sky, but his heart was full of bitterness and frustration, the credit was not earned, and he almost lost his life, more than one hundred and twenty horsemen were almost completely wiped out, not to mention the reward after going back, I am afraid that he will be questioned.

Don't look at just more than a hundred horses, the Jiangnan region is different from the north, it is not easy to get more than 100 war horses, and the entire Ning Wangfu subordinates may not be able to get together a thousand cavalry, so the loss of more than 100 war horses is not light.

Yang Qing finally recovered his strength after lying down for a while, regained some strength a little, got up with a bone, went up to the buttocks of the three subordinates and kicked them in each of them, and scolded: "Get up, don't fucking play dead with Lao Tzu, all get up!" ”

The three rebels reluctantly got up and said with a bitter face: "Lord Qianhu, what should I do now?" I'm starving to death, and I can't even walk! ”

Yang Qing was also so hungry at this time that his eyes were full of stars, and his eyes fell on the paralyzed horses on the ground, which were estimated to be useless, so he said: "Go find some firewood and grass, kill a horse and roast meat to eat!" ”

The eyes of the three rebels lit up, and they ran to collect dry firewood, and lit a fire next to the official road, while Yang Qing took out his waist knife and killed a horse, cut off the horse's flesh and roasted it on the fire.

As a result, the horse meat was only half-cooked, and these fellows could not help but eat it, and just as they were chewing vigorously, they saw dust on the official road, and a team appeared in sight.

A rebel soldier put his hand on the pergola and observed for a moment, and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Lord Qianhu, it's the king deputy Qianhu who is here." ”

Wang Ru, one of the three thieves, is one of the three thieves, that is, Yang Qing's younger brother, who is responsible for leading the infantry behind, and now he has finally arrived.

"Phew!" Yang Qing took a sip and threw the half-cooked horse meat into the fire, horse meat was not delicious in the first place, let alone a half-cooked roast.

"Big brother, why did you get like this?" Wang Ru couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw Yang Qing, who had almost become the commander of the light pole.

Yang Qing said with a dejected face: "When you encounter hard stubble, the other party is ruthless, and it is difficult to say anything, hurry up and get some food, you are about to starve to death." ”

Wang Ru hurriedly ordered someone to send dry food and water, Yang Qing filled his stomach, and then he burped comfortably, and asked in a deep voice, "When will Wu Dangjia arrive?" ”

Wang Ru replied: "Yesterday evening, I received a messenger to report that Wu Dangjia had already led the army to Yingtan County. ”

A touch of jealousy flashed in Yang Qing's eyes, he chased and killed Sun Sui all the way, originally wanting to grab a big credit, but in the end, the credit was not grabbed, but he suffered a heavy loss. On the other hand, Wu Sanba regained the counties and states along the road unhurriedly all the way, but this credit was earned steadily.

From Nanchang to Yingtan County, there are no garrisons in the states and counties along the way, and the people who are responsible for defending the city are the government officials and the people, at most a few hundred people, and the combat effectiveness is scum, so Wu Sanba with a thousand regular troops of the palace came all the way, and there was no need to make much effort.

For example, the magistrate of Yujiang County simply did not resist, directly opened the city gate and surrendered, and asked people to give people and grain to food, and politely sent Wu Sanba's army away.

Yang Qing pondered in his heart, there is no garrison in Yingtan County, and it is estimated that it has been taken by Wu Sanba, but there is a thousand households stationed in Yiyang County next, and Wu Sanba should not be so easy to take.

"Pass the order, immediately rush to Leadshan County, and take down Fei Hong's family!"

Yang Qing decisively ordered to go straight to Leadshan County, obviously intending to snatch this credit before the arrival of Wu Sanba's army, otherwise the lost troops would return to Nanchang, and they would only be questioned.

As soon as Yang Qing gave the order, more than 900 rebels set out to kill Leadshan County.

……

In the Ya of Leadshan County, Wu Linguang, the magistrate of the county who had just finished lunch, was taking a nap in the room, while enjoying the massage service of the concubine of Xinna.

At this time, the door was slammed, and the eager voice of Li Ming, the head catcher of the yamen, came in: "Lord County, something is wrong!"

Wu Linguang sat up unhappily, was served by the concubine and put on his official uniform, opened the door and went out, and said with a calm face: "Li Bantou, what's the matter?" As a person who practices martial arts, shouldn't Mount Tai collapse and not change color! ”

Li Ming handed a piece of text to Wu Linguang and said, "Lord County, King Ning has rebelled!" ”

Wu Linguang's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly took the text and read it, his wrist immediately trembled, and the document he was holding also fell to the ground, and his eyes were straight.

A touch of sarcasm flashed in Li Ming's eyes, and he screamed a few times in a row, Wu Linguang came back to his senses, but there was no blood on his face, he was afraid!

Today is the nineteenth day of the first month, the seventeenth day of the first month of the first month of King Ning ascended the throne in Nanchang and called the emperor, and sent troops from all over the country.

The content of the text is roughly accusing the son of today of being absurd and unreasonable, which makes the people of the world resentful and boiling, so he sent 100,000 troops into Beijing to crusade, and ordered the subordinate officials of all states and counties to open the city and surrender on the day of receiving the text, and immediately go to Nanchang to worship the son of heaven (King Ning) of Shunde, otherwise an army will be sent to attack, and all the officials who do not surrender will be sentenced to death and confiscated their property!

This letter is from the hand of Liu Yangzheng, the rhetoric is gorgeous, the tone is stern, and the threat is full, Wu Linguang is naturally frightened when he sees it!

100,000 troops, this gimmick is indeed scary enough!

Li Ming asked awe-inspiringly, "My lord, what now?" ”

Although Wu Linguang was scared in his heart, he was not an idiot, rebellion was a capital crime of stealing his family and exterminating his family, so he naturally would not be frightened to go to Nanchang to worship the "Son of Heaven" because of a piece of paper, of course, if the other party's soldiers came to the city, then it was another story.

"Immediately order the gates of the city to be closed, and only exit and not enter!" Wu Linguang pondered for a while and then ordered.

In Wu Linguang's view, with King Ning's strength, the possibility of a successful rebellion was very small, so he decided to close the city and wait and see, and then make a decision when the situation was clear. This guy is obviously a wall-riding party with a clear sense of self-preservation!

Li Ming, the head catcher, got the order, and immediately went down to summon the three classes of officials to close the four cities, and the people in the city could go out, but the people outside the city were not allowed to come in.

……

The Qianhu Institute is located on the bank of the Xinjiang River about three miles west of the county town of Leadshan County, with a wharf and a water village, and the fields of 10,000 mu nearby are all military tuns, and the officers and soldiers of the guard are responsible for cultivating them in peacetime.

At this moment, Qianhu Xiong Bai and Deputy Qianhu Luohong, the two of them were drinking wine in the house, chatting while peeling peanuts.

It's only the nineteenth day of the first month, and spring plowing hasn't started yet, and the bandits in Lead Mountain have been wiped out last year, so the days are now leisurely and leisurely.

Originally, according to the regulations, the garrison of the guard station planted the land when the farm was busy, and the training had to be organized when the farm was slack, but it has been nearly 150 years since the establishment of the national dynasty, and the system has begun to rot, the garrison has been slackened, the phenomenon of soldiers fleeing is serious, and the training of soldiers has also been lazy. It is rare to organize a drill once a month, and even some guards only conduct a drill once every six months, so the combat effectiveness of the guards is getting worse and worse.

Xiong Bai and Luo Hong were chatting, and a hundred households hurriedly ran in, also holding a piece of paper in his hand, and said urgently: "Lord Qianhu, King Ning rebelled, raised 100,000 troops to attack Nankang, and ordered the county guards to immediately lead troops to Nanchang to chase after him. ”

When there were two sounds, the wine bowl in Xiong Luo's hands fell to the ground and shattered almost at the same time.

……

On the nineteenth day of the first month, at about two o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Jin and his entourage rushed to the north of Leadshan County, and arrived at the north gate of the city wall in about five miles.

Gu Mancang set his horse at a fork in the road, and said respectfully to Xu Jin: "Lord Tongju, about five miles of road is Leadshan County, and the small one will not return to Shangrao County and say goodbye!" ”

Gu Mancang now changed his words and called Xu Jin a general judge, with a hint of fear in his expression, no way, the stack of bloody human heads is still vivid in his mind, and the seemingly polite young man in front of him is actually a ruthless person!

Xu Jin hugged his fists and said: "There is Brother Laogu on the way!" ”

Gu Mancang hurriedly said: "Lord Tongju doesn't have to be polite, this is what grass people should do." ”

Xu Jin smiled and said, "Brother Gu, there is one more thing I want to ask you!" ”

"Your Excellency, even if you tell you!"

Xu Jin took out a letter and handed it to Gu Mancang and said, "Trouble Brother Gu to hand over this letter to Liu Qingyuan Lord Liu, be sure to hurry!" ”

When Gu Mancang heard that it was just a letter, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, took the letter with both hands and put it in his arms, and said respectfully: "Don't worry, Lord Tongju, the grass people will deliver it as soon as possible!" ”

Xu Jin ordered someone to give Gu Mancang an extra horse, so that he could ride in rotation and the speed could be much faster.

Drive......

Xu Jin was so solemn that Gu Mancang naturally didn't dare to slack off, and galloped away in the direction of Shangrao County.

Looking at Gu Mancang who disappeared at the turn of the official road, Xu Jin couldn't help but think of the first time Gu Mancang went to the haggis store to deliver a letter, and he wrote a Spring Festival couplet for him for free, and also gave him a bowl of egg noodles in broth. I remember that I told the little slave Zhu Houxi at that time: being taken advantage of by others is cheap, and what you give is called investment, and investment is rewarding.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a prophecy, if it hadn't been for the grain barn that was familiar with the road on the way to escape this time, I am afraid that it would be difficult for these people to live until now.

The return on this investment is not ordinarily large!
