Chapter 1173 is in front

After seeing Zhao Jin come with a large group of people, not only the official and military prisoners were happy, but the villagers were even more so, thanks to their own sincerity, otherwise when such a wolf-like team came, what was the use of the soil fence and the like, and it would be bulldozed directly.

The officers and soldiers took the people to transport supplies, and at this time they were also arrested, leaving them for a day to eat, all the grain and grass were replenished on the spot by the Zhao Zi camp, and then all the horses of the officers and soldiers were taken away, and the weapons were collected and piled up and set on fire.

"It's all Zhao Ziying's territory in the future, and when it's not a last resort, you don't have to do too much." Because Tao Gui and Xu Yong both wanted to take away all the accumulated grain and grass in this village, Zhao Jin told them, but he still asked the village to provide 500 people with a day's food, and then gave them a share of the captured officers and soldiers who could not be taken away, and then watched them close the gate of the village.

After doing this, the Zhao Ziying began to advance with the captives, scattering a hundred people every two hundred steps, and walking like this until the officers and soldiers completely dispersed, don't look at the distance of two hundred steps, but none of the soldiers who were restrained by the officers were unwilling to go back, so they could only scatter and escape.

This battle did not excite everyone, but there was a feeling of accumulating enough strength to punch the air, and it was not even very comfortable, but after the official army was completely dispersed, the leading brigade and Lian Zheng gathered on Zhao Jin's side to decide the next move.

"The Huai River is frozen, I tried it just now, the ice is strong enough, now you can cross the river all the way to pursue the four thousand officers and soldiers, there are no market villages on this road, if we catch up all the way, I'm afraid the men and horses will be hungry for a long time before they can fight, if they don't fight near Suzhou, the follow-up supply is also a problem." Zhao Jin told me about the next situation.

Everyone showed a cautious look on their faces, the horseback riding family consumes a lot of people and horses every day, if you can't guarantee supplies, there is no need to mention the combat power, Tao Gui thought about it and said in a sullen voice: "Master, I'm afraid that the four thousand soldiers who went north to Suzhou are more difficult than this thousand waste, and they have to go faster than this." ”

Everyone nodded, the distribution of the official army in Fengyang, the capital is obvious, this thousand is just a partial division, mainly used to respond, and the four thousand soldiers and horses who went to Suzhou to attack the southern line of Xuzhou are the main force, and they want to form a joint force with the daimyo and the Henan official army to besiege Xuzhou, such a team, presumably the army will be controlled, the supply of grain and grass will be guaranteed, and the speed of the march will not be slack.

"It's important to rescue Xuzhou, there is no food, the food is left for the mounts, let's kill the horses and eat meat, defeat the officials and soldiers, and then let Zhuangzi send food." Bayin said through gritted teeth.

The battle on the grassland, when it is hard, horses are food, Bayin immediately put forward this idea, but it made the others startled, but then they all nodded in agreement, compared to horses, it is more important to defeat the soldiers and horses in Xuzhou, Zhao Jin groaned for a while but said: "Fighting these thousands of officers and soldiers, how can it also consume a day's grain and grass, and then turn to the road to take a long detour, this will also consume more." ”

After muttering a few words to himself, Zhao Jin clapped his hands and said: "Then find a place to replenish grain and grass, and then chase after it on the official road, and then meet the four thousand officers and soldiers on the official road, Bayin, and arrange for three people to go to Suzhou to spread the message, and let Suzhou close the city gate and not accept the officials and soldiers inside." ”

Zhao Jin ordered the local government not to accept the official army, which sounds a bit ridiculous and paradoxical, but Tao Gui and they don't care about this, but care about the next arrangement.

"Master, where are we going?"

"Go to the Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum to fight the autumn breeze!"

Hearing this, everyone was shocked, and then became excited, just now Zhao Jinyi said, everyone subconsciously avoided the capital of Fengyang, I didn't expect to really go, this is the mausoleum of the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty, although it is nothing geographically, but in the minds of the people of the world, this is the top three important places, second only to Jingshi and Nanjing, this temple mausoleum is the spiritual continuation of the Ming Dynasty.

Several brigades and Lian Zheng naturally didn't think so deeply, but in their hearts, fighting this Fengyang was equivalent to fighting the capital of the Ming Dynasty, which meant that Zhao Ziying wanted to do great things, and great wealth was in front of them.

"It's all stopped over there, and it's not yet time to tear your face." Zhao Jin reminded him, but everyone's faces were a little disapproving, and they hadn't torn their faces at this point, so how could it be counted?

The next march was much calmer, originally besieged by all directions, Zhao Jin gathered the horse team to fast in and out, defeat the soldiers and horses on the side of Fengyang Mansion, and then return to Xuzhou to preside over the overall situation, but after coming to Fengyang Mansion, the first battle was so easy that it could not be said to be a battle, which made Zhao Jin change the arrangement, for the road and schedule of Fengyang Mansion, Xuzhou's light and dark eyeliner had already been clear, or hungry for half a day's time, or calmly delayed for one to two days, although the soldiers were fast, But the speed of the other party's 4,000 foot soldiers was not much faster.

After weighing, Zhao Jin made a choice, and there were additional benefits to his change.

Traveling along the official road by the Huai River, the speed is indeed a lot faster, although the first battle is too easy, but the Zhao Zi battalion does not have any slackness, sent to the surrounding light horses to probe more horses, more tightly shielded around, but did not find any enemy situation, although it is very close to Linhuai and the central capital Fengyang, and it is the time when the armies of all walks of life besiege Xuzhou, but Fengyang did not arrange any reconnaissance cavalry wandering.

"It's estimated that I don't want to send, but I can't send it, the huge Fengyang Mansion, a thousand soldiers were defeated by us, four thousand soldiers were on the road, and the cavalry was annihilated.

After the battle capture, everyone can finally clearly judge the day, this day is the third day of the first month of the fourth year of the apocalypse, calculate the distance, you can reach Fengyang at noon, originally the cavalry carried a fixed amount of grain and grass to rush in, and the daily food must be strictly controlled, before setting off on this day, everyone relaxed some use.

Linhuai and Fengyang in the first month are very lively, when this mighty brigade of cavalry appeared, everyone was stunned, Zhao Ziying did not touch Linhuai, the city gate of Linhuai County was closed, they still had a distance from the imperial tomb of Fengyang in the capital, there was no way to warn after closing the city gate, only to light the beacon fire at the head of the city, the pillar of smoke soared into the sky, I hope that Fengyang can be alert, can only do their best to resign themselves to fate.

The team led by Zhao Jin came to Fengyang, the central capital, looking at the buildings in the distance, in the sound of thunderous hooves, Zhao Jin could still feel the breathing of the people around him getting thicker, and everyone seemed to be a little nervous and a little excited.

The gentry and people everywhere in the Ming Dynasty, whether rich or poor, especially Xuzhou, which was once the thoroughfare of the world and well-informed, who has not heard of Fengyang, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, who has not heard of the place where Zhu Yuanzhang, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, was born and started, and is known as the real dragon treasure land where the dragon is entrenched.

There is the imperial mausoleum where the parents and brothers of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang are buried here, there is the Dalongxing Temple where Zhu Yuanzhang was a monk, and the sect of the criminal clan is the other courtyard, which is the spirit of the legal system of the Ming Dynasty.

Because of this semi-closed situation, although the distance between Xuzhou Zhao Ziying and this side is very close, few people have come, and besides, the capital Fengyang is too big, and Zhao Ziying does not want to completely break up, so naturally he will not touch this forbidden place.

"The place I walked in before was so poor, but this side is magnificent, even more regular than Qingjiangpu!" Many family members have such questions and feelings.

Since Xuyi all the way over, the places along the way are extremely dilapidated, the number of horseback riding trips is many, and they have been to Shandong after the catastrophe, in their opinion, Fengyang here and Shandong are almost the same, but this side is where the capital of the Ming Dynasty is located, and the Jingshi and Nanjing are all prosperous, how can this be the case?

"We are out of the emperor here, but there is no light at all, the emperor's grain is less than everywhere, but there are too many servitudes, all year round by the official detained to do things, repair the emperor's mausoleum palace and temple, work for all kinds of immortals, how can there be kung fu to serve their own fields, grandma's, do work for Zhao Ziying, there is a stutter, here you have to bring your own, who can escape does not escape"

"Suzhou is thanks to being taken down by Jinye, if you don't enter the master, it will be similar to what we can see along the road!"

There are also Fengyang displaced people in the family Ding, they are naturally clear about the local situation, they grit their teeth when they say it, there is no nostalgia at all, everyone sees the withered village along the road, the barren fields for a long time, the horses gallop for more than two days, and the road is not much different from the no-man's land, there is no such disaster as Shandong, but there is a situation similar to the Shandong disaster, which is staggering.

Look at the Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum and the city not far away, because the construction was suddenly stopped in the middle of the year, the city wall was demolished and sent to Nanjing to build, coupled with the feng shui reasons of the Imperial Mausoleum Underground Palace and the Palace, there is no city here, you can see the majestic and brilliant palaces and temples, the wide and smooth streets, the neat and scattered official buildings, and the drum tower and bell tower that are more spectacular than other places, the Imperial Tomb is a mountain tomb that has been piled up artificially, more than 200 years down, it has long been overgrown in number, and the lush and green look no different from the real mountain.

Elsewhere in the big cities and cities, people come and go, and it is very lively, but here there are only officials and soldiers stationed, and there are not many residents, as if only those buildings are placed here, which does have an unearthly feeling at first glance.
