readx; Li Laiheng was eager to march into the army, and led 5,000 Qin soldiers under his command to abandon their horses and march quickly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info he didn't think he was fast enough, so he didn't even need armor, and the soldiers only carried single knives, spears, bows and arrows to advance lightly, and sure enough, it only took one day and one night to cross the Three Gorges and arrive at Fengjie County. Of course, this is also the result of Qin Bing's extremely hard training in peacetime. If you change to any other officer and army, let alone Fengjie, I'm afraid that you won't even dare to go to this Xiajiang Road.

As soon as the brigade left the Three Gorges, the striker Li Shoujun came to report: "Regiment commander, the four gates of Fengjie County are closed and refuse to let the soldiers enter the city. Because the situation is unknown, I don't know who occupies the city, and I didn't dare to attack it. ”

At this time, not to mention the soldiers, even Li Laiheng was tired and hungry, and he was so close to his heart. Li Laiheng glared at him when he heard this: "Don't care who it is, let's go to the city first, and then enter the city gate without opening it!" Soldiers, we have come through the most difficult road, as long as you enter Fengjie, you can eat hard and sleep well in bed! Cheer me up, rush! ”

The five thousand Qin soldiers were encouraged by him like this, and they all rushed to the foot of Fengjie City with a strong yearning for eating and sleeping.

Fengjie is just a small city, and the walls are all adobe, which is more than a zhang high, and there are many damages. For the Qin soldiers, such a wall was certainly impossible to stop them.

Seeing that the city was empty, Li Laiheng shouted: "Listen to the defenders of the city!" Ben was ordered to put down the rebellion and immediately open the city gates! Otherwise, no matter who you are, you will be punished as a conspiracy! ”

As soon as the words fell, a middle-aged man in his thirties stood up at the head of the city, and asked loudly: "Since you are an official soldier, why don't you wear a uniform?" Are you bandits, and you can't open the city gates if you want to? ”

Seeing that the people at the head of the city spoke fluent Chinese, Li Laiheng thought that it should not be the Tusi who started the rebellion, and he was slightly relieved. At this time, looking at his side, he couldn't help laughing.

It turned out that because the march was too hasty, the soldiers threw their armor to the slender man for transportation. And the Qin soldiers had not worn the official army's uniforms, and at this time the weather was getting hotter, and the rapid march was sweating profusely, and many people were shirtless, even Li Laiheng was shirtless. The other party doesn't know each other, and it's reasonable.

Li Laiheng hurriedly explained his identity, and took out Zhu Youzhen's holy decree and read it aloud. The gate of the opposite city immediately opened, and the middle-aged man hurried over in three steps and two steps, choking and saying, "But the Holy Rescuer is here!" General Li, you have worked hard from afar, come to the city to rest! ”

After asking, it turned out that this person was Fu Zonglong, the magistrate of Tongliang County, Chongqing Prefecture, and now he was stationed in Fengjie with hundreds of people. Li Laiheng didn't have time to ask in detail, let the army enter the city first, and immediately started the meal without saying a word. These five thousand Qin soldiers were really hungry and anxious, no matter how many meals were served, they ate all the food in a blink of an eye, like a storm and clouds, and the defenders who were responsible for delivering the meals looked stupid.

"Ugh!" Li Laiheng burped and patted his bulging belly with satisfaction, only then did he realize that Fu Zonglong had been by his side, so he smiled embarrassedly: "The march is too urgent, and the soldiers are all traveling day and night, and the food is indecent, which makes the adults laugh." ”

Fu Zonglong said with a smile: "Why should the general be too humble, the soldiers can only fight if they can eat." With General Li's new force, the situation in Shuzhong will definitely improve. ”

At this time, Li Laiheng asked about the battle situation in Shuzhong, and Fu Zonglong's eyebrows gradually wrinkled: "After the rebellion of the Tusi on the Shuixi and Yongning roads, Shuixi Tusi An Bangyan was based in Guizhou and was nicknamed 'King of Luodian'; Both of them are Yi tribesmen, and they have in-laws, they support each other, the thieves are huge, and the local officials and soldiers have been in battle for a long time, and they can't resist at all. Chongqing fell two months ago, and even the prefect and the officials and soldiers of the nearby counties ran away without a trace.

"Tongliang County, where the students are located, is too close to Chongqing, and the students led more than 1,000 officers and soldiers to fight with the thieves several times, and the lost soldiers will not be able to gain a foothold, so they have to retreat to Fengjie. Because Fengjie Zhixian also fled, the students had to stay here for the time being, waiting for the imperial army to come. ”

"Oh?" Li Laiheng asked with blazing eyes, "Why doesn't Master Fu go to other counties and just come to Fengjie?" ”

Fu Zonglong hurriedly said: "Fengjie was called the White Emperor City in ancient times, and in the Tang Dynasty, because of the respect for Zhuge Wuhou, he was entrusted by Liu Bei, the emperor of Shu, and he could not take it away from the festival, so he changed his name to Fengjie. This place is the gateway to the east of Sichuan, the starting point of the Three Gorges, as long as this place is guarded, it is difficult for thousands of troops and horses to pass. The students were afraid that the rebels would occupy this place and block the reinforcements from entering Sichuan, so they had to defend it with hundreds of people. Fortunately, the rebels were short-sighted and only knew how to plunder the rich lands of the Central Sichuan Plain, and did not come to this side. ”

Li Laiheng was apprehensive when he heard this, and nodded again and again: "Master Fu is right, we have just passed through the Xiajiang Road, not to mention hundreds of people, dozens of people will block the exit and demolish the plank road, and we will be trapped in the canyon!" Fortunately, Master Fu held the city, and the expeditionary force had a foothold. After a while, I will immediately pass on the book to the Holy Flying Pigeon, and give the adults a credit first! ”

This time it was Fu Zonglong's turn to be inexplicable. Li Laiheng asked the regimental headquarters staff office to demonstrate on the spot, write out the situation of entering Shu concisely, turn it into a password, put it into three small wooden boxes, and tie it to the legs of the three carrier pigeons. The carrier pigeon immediately flapped its wings and soared, and went away along the original route of the army into Shu, and soon disappeared without a trace.

"The carrier pigeon can fly more than 200 miles in an hour, and this place is about 2,500 miles away from the Beijing Division, and the saint will receive an urgent report at this time tomorrow at the earliest." Lee Rae-hyung explained.

Fu Zonglong was dumbfounded, and only after a while did he mutter: "Today is really the Holy Monarch of the World!" If this law can be popularized throughout the country, not only can the horsepower of the post station be greatly saved, but the message transmission will also be several times faster than in the past. ”

"yes!" Li Laiheng also said sincerely, "When I was ordered to go on the expedition, the saint had already specially instructed me to establish fixed carrier pigeon points in Chongqing, Chengdu, Guiyang and other places. But for now, we still have to put down the rebellion first, and take Chongqing down first! Master Fu, you are familiar with this place, what is the situation of the rebels in Chongqing now? ”

Fu Zonglong frowned when he heard this: "After Yu Chongming captured Chongqing, he led 30,000 horses to attack Chengdu. Now Chengdu is garrisoned by Qin Liangyu, the wife of Shizhu Xuanfu's envoy. Although Qin Liangyu has a reputation for bravery, after all, she is a woman, she is a little old, and she has insufficient troops, so she can only protect herself and cannot break the enemy. Now stationed in Chongqing is Fan Long, the son-in-law of Hao Chongming, with a strength of about 10,000. General Li came from afar, and his strength was only 5,000, so according to the students' opinion, it was better to stay in Fengjie for the time being, and then attack Chongqing after General Li Dingguo arrived, so that there was a chance of victory. ”

Li Laiheng listened quietly, and suddenly asked, "Do the rebels have bird guns and Franc machine guns?" ”

"That's not the case." Fu Zonglong said, "The rebels just rely on more to win, and the weapons are very simple, nothing more than big swords and spears, and a lot of bamboo poles. ”

"That's it!" Li Lai got up and said, "Such a rabble, still have to wait for Brother Dingguo to come?" Gather the drums and get ready to go! ”
