When a small green bud appeared on a willow tree in the yard, Huainan Jiedu, who had been hesitating, made Gong Yunda finally make up his mind.

A day earlier, news had come from the southeast. The Tang Dynasty court made Xiang Lan, the granddaughter of Xiang Xun, the queen of the Lingnan Jiedu, the king of Xiang Xun and the general manager of the southeast march, and the general governor of Fujian, Lingnan, Guiguan and Rongguan to form the southeast rebel army, and the general manager of the southeast march to Xiang Xun was generally controlled.

The chaotic world, after more than ten years of many festivals and towns, finally inevitably embarked on the merger of big fish eating small fish again. The weak festival towns and localities can only choose one side to join, and if they want to defend themselves according to one side, they only care about the snow in front of their own door, regardless of the frost of others, and the era will be completely over.

Now even if you don't mess with people, it's time for them to fix you.

Gong Yunda felt that his strength was insufficient, and in such an environment, he could not guarantee his independent status, and the only thing he could do was to choose one side to join.

But in reality, he had no other choice.

Joining Zhu Youzhen's side was a decision he had to make.

In the past, he was the emperor of Yitu, and Huainan was his private property, but now, such a good life will be gone forever. Although I am unhappy, there is no way to do it.

The flood was overwhelming, and no one was spared.

Sun Tonglin, who had stayed in Huainan for almost a month, was satisfied, and Huainan took the initiative to surrender, so that Zhu Youzhen could free up his forces to attack Eyue, even if it was Huainan, he could also send troops to help, how to know how to know the current affairs and want to resist stubbornly, then the two-way attack will also take Eyue in a very short time.

Zhu Youzhen does not have a water division now, but Huainan has a good water division, which is why Zhu Youzhen has a special high opinion of Huainan. Passing through the south, a strong sailor is indispensable.

"Yang Guangli, who was sent to Yangzhou to replace Mei Jiu, has already set off." Gong Bin said: "Yang Guangli brought a thousand accompanying elite troops, and I also made some corresponding arrangements in Yangzhou. The troops who stayed there before have also been sent to officers to take over, and the two sides echo, Mei Jiu will not have the power to resist. ”

Gong Yunda nodded: "If Mei Jiu honestly hands over the position of Yangzhou Zhizhou, don't embarrass him anymore." I will give him a good position in the Jiezhen Mansion, this person is still capable and prestigious, if I can get his help, it will save a lot of trouble. ”

"Yes, I hope he knows the times." Gong Bin said: "If he refuses to come to Jiezhen Government to take up his post, then he will not be able to stay. ”

Baoying, barracks.

Ge Cai held the horizontal knife on his waist, and Chen Yuan and Chen Yuan strode towards the door of the barracks, at this moment, outside the barracks, an officer was holding an arrow in his hand, shouting and asking the soldiers to open the barracks gate.

Ge Cai made a gesture, and the soldiers in front of the camp opened the gate.

"Who is making noise in front of the camp gate and wants to die?" Ge Cai spread his legs, stood in the middle of the gate, and shouted.

"I am on the orders of the marshal to take over the command of the Baoying garrison, which one are you? What about Feng Cai? The officer on the horse asked sharply after several rejections.

"Which one is Feng?" Ge Cai turned his head and asked Liu Yuan.

Liu Yuan smiled and pointed to a head hanging from a high flagpole in the barracks: "It was the one who took the lead in making trouble and was cut down by you, it turned out to be the commander of Baoying's garrison." ”

The officer outside the camp gate also saw the head in the direction pointed by Liu Yuan, and it happened that a gust of wind blew at this time, and the swaying head turned around, and the head pickled in lime was well preserved, and the face could be seen clearly in general.

"You, you actually killed Feng Cai, do you want to rebel? Who are you? ”

"The old lady's name is Ge Cai, and now the treasure should be in my charge." Ge Cai raised his thumb and nodded his nose: "Which slug did you pop out of the crack and dare to shout in front of the old lady?" ”

"On the orders of the marshal, take over the Baoying garrison." The officer outside held up the token high, but the confidence to speak was a little insufficient.

"The old lady is on the order of Yangzhou Meijiu Mei Zhizhou, what kind of handsome are you talking about, the old lady can't recognize it." Ge Cai laughed.

The officer froze for a moment, looked at the appearance of the barracks, seemed to feel that something was wrong, and quietly led the horse back a few steps: "Violating the military order of the commander, I think you don't want to live." ”

Ge Cai sneered: "You just don't want to live anymore." Raising his hand, on the wall, a row of soldiers stood up in unison, and the crossbow arrows in their hands were aimed at the officers outside the door.

The officers outside the gate were shocked, and as soon as the order to retreat was called, the crossbow arrows at the camp gate were already raining down. The officer was very skilled, and he rolled off his horse with an upside-down onion, and actually used his horse as a shield to avoid a rain of arrows, but his subordinates were not so lucky, and they were killed one after another under the fire of crossbow arrows.

The officer drew his sword, jumped up, and slammed into Ge Cai in front of the camp gate. I have to say that this officer's reaction is still extremely fast, at this time, if he turns around and flees, it will inevitably send him to the west with another round of crossbow arrows, but if he rushes in the direction of the camp and closes the distance with Ge Cai, those crossbow archers will not shoot.

It's a woman.

If you can catch her at once, or you can escape with your life, by this time, this officer no longer has the luxury of taking over this barracks, something big has happened in Yangzhou, and the best thing now is to save her life and flee back to tell the young marshal about this fact.

Seeing the officer rushing towards Ge Cai, Liu Yuan smiled, but took a few steps back.

Ge Cai didn't even draw the knife, she stood there like a mountain, and the moment the officer rushed to approach her, she leaned slightly sideways, and the officer's horizontal knife grazed her body and cut down, and in an angry shout, she raised her hand, and actually grabbed the officer's hand with her arm, and twisted her body.

Hearing the sound of the officer's arm snapping, the muscles on Liu Yuan's face jumped, and when he saw Ge Cai's hand pinching the back of the other party's neck, he hurriedly shouted: "Keep your mouth alive." ”

As soon as the words came out, Liu Yuan saw Ge Cai exert his strength, lift the officer high, and then exhale and slam it on the ground.

"Bundled!"

The stunned soldiers rushed up, pinned the officer to the ground, and tied him firmly.

The officer's mouth was obviously not tight, and Ge Cai only grabbed his broken arm and shook it from side to side, shaking it, and in the shouts like killing pigs, he confessed.

"Yang Guangli, a thousand people." Ge Cai smiled, "Order the whole army to assemble." ”

"Why don't you report it up first?" Liu Yuan asked.

"Of course, the report is to be reported, but since Yang Guangli is about to arrive, we might as well send the good news and the report together." Ge Cai said.

There are now more than 1,500 soldiers in the Baoying military camp, of which 1,000 are soldiers from the north, and the other 500 have survived Ge Cai's hellish training for more than a month, and the rest have been kicked out of the barracks by Ge Cai.

Yang Guangli, the new governor of Yangzhou, is leading an army of 1,000 people at the moment, and is stationed on the shore of Baima Lake, and he is waiting for news from Baoying.

Being able to serve as the governor of Yangzhou this time is naturally a leap forward in his career, but he also knows that things are by no means so simple. Otherwise, there would be no need to take office with a thousand elite troops.

Yangzhou Zhizhou Mei Jiu did not deal with the Jieshuai, and opposed the Jieshuai to take refuge in the Liang, which is already a well-known thing, I heard that Mei Jiu has raised some troops in Yangzhou, and the meaning of parting ways with the Jieshuai is already obvious. He now expects that the troops left in Yangzhou are still loyal to the commander, and the arrangements of the young marshal in Yangzhou can also play a role, otherwise, his trip to Yangzhou will definitely not go well.

"Zhizhou, it's time to pull out. Try to reach Baoying when it gets dark, where we can gather a thousand garrisons there, and then set out for Yangzhou. The sooner you arrive in Yangzhou, the shorter the reaction time will be. The direct commander of this thousand people, Gong Hao, the henchman of the young marshal Gong Bin, came over and said.

"Let's go!" Yang Guangli nodded. "Isn't there any news from Baoying yet?"

"Not yet, let's wait while we go!" Gong Hao said.

The attendant led the horse, Yang Guangli stepped on the pedal with one foot, and before he could turn over and get on the horse, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves in the distance.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!" The scouts who came rushing wildly shouted loudly on their horses: "The Baoying garrison has rebelled. ”

Yang Guangli shuddered, and the horse rushed forward, almost dragging him to the ground.

Gong Hao was also shocked, and shouted: "The whole army is assembled and ready to fight!" ”

The sound of drums sounded suddenly, and a thousand soldiers quickly began to assemble, Gong Hao supported Yang Guangli, who was a little panicked, and comforted: "Zhizhou, the Baoying garrison is some waste, you don't have to worry, see how I beat them." ”

As he spoke, the figure of the enemy had already appeared in the distance.

The enemy was getting closer and closer, Yang Guangli looked at the black metal wave, and turned his head to look at Gong Hao with some trembling: "This is what you said about the waste of the bag?" ”

Fifteen hundred troops, of which there are no more than 100 cavalry, roaming on both sides of the large force, Ge Cai has no cavalry, carrying a horizontal sword in one hand and a shield in the other, walking at the front of the foot team.

"Attack!" Ge Cai waved his knife and shouted.

At the same time, Gong Hao also raised his spear, rode on his horse and shouted, "The whole army is attacking." ”

The two armies, on the shores of Lake Whitehorse, collided head-on.
