Chapter 881: A good lord is rare
Zhu Chongjun has now seen that the emperor's methods and decision-making, as early as a year ago, actually knew the current political situation well, and he naturally believed that his choice was correct.
In this troubled world, it is rare to find a good master, and it is even more rare to have the opportunity to develop. Li Gong, the Marquis of Jiangdong who rushed to the aid of Jinling City this time, although he came in a hurry and did not have much preparation and investigation at all, Zhu Chongjun believed in the information more.
Although it seems that there are many difficulties all the way, these small prefectures and counties are actually not managed, and this is the death hole of the Tang Kingdom. Zhu Chongjun and his entourage can be said to be a blatant crossing, and they are not worried about being anxious at all, let alone caring and scruples.
If it can be restrained this time, then the vast area of the Tang Kingdom will be the world of the imperial court. At that time, even if Li Jing was in the name of the lord of the feudal town, the surveillance of the Zhou State in the Tang State would exist in name only.
The problem is that in order to form a siege of Jinling City and crush Wulong Village under Jinling City, someone needs to attack inside and outside. Now I don't know what happened to the rest of the people who supported Jinling City, but at least my own team, at least it didn't slow down for long.
Zhu Chongjun only hopes that the Bodhisattva will bless him, and no matter what the operation is, he does not want accidents. Whether it is out of personal belief or the confidence in my heart now, there is no room for mistakes.
Several actions to aid Jinling City, although the success or failure of the matter cannot be attributed to someone, but because it was his own delay, if he delayed the big event, Zhu Chongjun could not escape the blame in his heart.
Now that I have really gotten it, the help of these wooden boats, although Zhang Xiaohu found it, is the best means of transportation. Looking at the boats in the waterway in front of him, like a few paper boats floating in the water, Zhu Chongjun's heart was soothed.
The wounded carried along with the boat, and the rest of the fast horses, together with the supplementary guards, kept raising their whips and moving quickly along the dirt road by the river, and the sound of the horses' hooves was urgent. Although this road is the official road into Beijing, because since the defeat of Huaibei, the official road has rarely seen fast horses, which naturally attracts a lot of attention.
Many warlords have fought here, and many of them are now deserted, often for miles. Because of the inaccessibility year by year, the once glorious official road has gradually disappeared, and it seems that the widest part is only about five feet.
The surrounding ancient trees are towering and shrubs, if it were not for the waterway of the Qinhuai River next to it, I am afraid that the official road that entered Beijing at the beginning would have been deserted, and the prosperity of the past.
And this road stretches with zigzags, or there are not many traces of people and cars passing by, and the narrowest place is less than two meters, and even some weeds are as tall as people. It is often difficult to see the way forward, and it must be discerned by keen senses.
But isn't there no way out in this world?
What's more, it can be done on a rare road, and it is also an official way anyway.
The sky was already completely bright, and through the ancient trees, you could clearly see the river next to it, as well as the hills on both sides, and the green trees on the hills.
Because this is the upstream of steamed water, going to Hengzhou and down the Xiangjiang River, the river water is clear and you can see the bottom everywhere. The meandering between the green mountains and green waters makes people feel relaxed and happy, and they can't find the hidden killing machine at all.
Everything is really a natural selection, and it has its own innate biological chain.
Aren't people the same?
Standing on the hillside, you can see that the small wooden boats seem to be full of straw and debris, and it is impossible to tell that they are full of people.
These wooden boats have several captains in the bow and stern, and they are vigorously rocking the oars or poles to control the speed and direction of the boat. It all seemed normal, no different from a normal trip to the countryside.
The river ripples down with a bang, making people feel as if they are in a painting.
The high-rolled pants and shirtless man, his face full of the vicissitudes of time, looking at this boat, this person, and this water, makes people feel a little calm in this landscape. Each wooden boat is only more than ten meters long, and the width is no more than a few feet, but the people on each boat are very calm.
Guo Jing stopped the horse, sat on the horse steadily, and looked at the ship in the distance, if he didn't go fast, the speed of the boat was faster than the speed of the horse.
Lerma trotted down a small hill with a concave cove in front of it, and the hilly terrain was so delicate. Guo Jing rode his horse slowly, his face was calm, although he didn't say a word, he was always calculating and calculating in his heart.
"Peng Cong, Lin Hu, just reported by the scout spies, less than thirty miles ahead is the Chu Army Hengzhou Xidu Water Village, how should you plan this matter!" Guo Jing's horse speed gradually decreased after entering Xiaowan, and he turned his head to ask the two guards in front of him and behind him.
The waterway of the steaming river channel in front of the slope is gradually widening, and it looks like a real big river, with the atmosphere of the Xiangjiang River. There are even occasional early boats, and most of them don't care when they see them.
Some of the wooden boats moved side by side, so that they could pick up speed faster. In order not to attract attention, the costume is a wooden boat that pulls goods.
Guo Jing saw the hillside gradually rising in front of him, and in the river under the shade of the trees, the fast-moving wooden boat, groaning to let his horse gradually stop.
It is about to reach the outpost of Hengzhou City, and the only place to go south to Hengzhou is Xidu Ancient Town, where there is a water village of Zhang Wenbiao.
If the information from the secret party is accurate, the hundreds of Chu troops in this water village now completely control the road to the south. It not only includes the waterway of the steaming river, but also contains the only official road to go, which is really a fortress into Hengzhou City.
What is surprising is that the general of the water army defending this water village is Zhang Wenbiao's real cronies. This person's name is Xia Zuo, who was originally the younger brother of Xia Fu, a general under Zhang Wenbiao, and they are all local forces in Hengzhou.
After taking refuge, many children have been reused, and now this is a henchman among henchmen.
According to the secret party intelligence, after occupying the city, they sent people out to trap this person. I didn't want this person to be in the water village at the time, but he escaped a catastrophe, and then he became suspicious of the attack, and he actually stuck in the water village and never came out.
The purpose is naturally to wait, and there is no mental strength to attack and kill this person again, and in just a few days, there are several tug-of-wars.
When he hurried back to the city, he ordered a message to be sent to him, and now he has become the main person in the south.
Although he didn't care about a mere area, he thought that this place was very close to Xidu Gudu, so he thought about the other party's arrangement. As a leading leader, the most important thing to do is to plan ahead.
Whether there will be scouts moving around is the first thing that comes to mind.
