"Don't worry, the water route we take, the land route taken by the other party, our speed is several times that of the other party! When we arrive in Pizhou and join up with my men, it won't be long before we can catch up!"

Feng Yuan glanced at him, knowing the anxiety in the other party's heart.

Yuan Chengzhi was raised by everyone in the Mountain Sect since he was a child, and he was the closest person to him. When his relatives were in danger, he naturally couldn't sit still.

"Brother Yuan, don't be too anxious, we will definitely be able to rescue people!" Wen Qingqing comforted Yuan Chengzhi softly.

With the consolation of this confidant, Yuan Chengzhi finally relaxed.

Behind the big ship that Feng Yuan was riding on, there was also a cargo ship arranged by the Golden Dragon Gang, which was loaded with food and various supplies.

Whenever he encountered a checkpoint on the canal, Jiao Gongli smiled and took the initiative to pull the relationship.

The Golden Dragon Gang is extremely powerful in Nanzhili, and its network extends in all directions, even in the Huaiyang land in the north of the Yangtze River, they can find people and talk to them.

With Jiao Gongli's combing, the group passed through Shanyang and Qinghe smoothly and entered the Yellow River waterway.

Soon, the fleet hung up its sails and quickly approached Pizhou.

Now Pizhou has been cleaned up before, the bandits in the territory are extinct, and the originally abandoned wharf has also returned to prosperity. Quite a few merchant ships choose to dock here.

The only thing that displeased these merchant ships was that they had to pay a penny when docked. It's not a big number, but it also makes those businessmen with backgrounds feel uncomfortable.

"This is Pizhou?"

Yuan Chengzhi was taken aback, when he went down the mountain to the Shiliang faction, he also passed through Pizhou, but at that time it was very desolate, only sparse ships, far less lively than now.

"Let's go!" Feng Yuan smiled faintly and took the lead in disembarking.

At this time, a team of elite men and horses separated the crowd and cleared the open space at the dock, and Tan Youdao and Jiang Yingjie came to greet them with their men.

Yuan Chengzhi and Jiao Gongli looked forward, and saw that the people on the dock numbered about two hundred, each of them had a strong spirit, carrying a spear, a saber at the waist, every move was neat, and there was a strong evil aura on the body.

Everywhere he went, the coolies and the people of the wharf automatically stepped aside, their eyes showing awe.

This is a well-trained elite soldier who has been in battle, and at first glance it is different from other officers and soldiers.

"My subordinates meet the little prince!"

Seeing Feng Yuan's figure, Tan and Jiang hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.

"Get up!"

Feng Yuan waved his sleeves, and the internal force urged, and the two of them suddenly felt a force surging from the bottom up, holding them up.

"This is the Jiao Gang leader of the Golden Dragon Gang...... He was responsible for purchasing grain and grass materials to supply Pizhou. Master Tan, in the future, the two of you will dock, and you must ensure that Pizhou has enough grain and grass!"

Seeing this, Jiao Gongli stepped forward with a smile, and said to Tan Youdao and Jiang Yingjie: "Jiao has seen Master Tan and Jiang Qianhu!"

The two returned the salute.

"Haha, with the help of Jiao's help, those boys under my command will finally not have to go hungry to practice in the future!"

The food and grass materials in the army were supplied, and Jiang Yingjie suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and smiled.

"Okay, we will have more time to meet in the future, so there is no need to be polite now! Master Tan is here to accept the grain and grass materials. Brother Jiang, you lead people to open the way in front, go to the school first!"

Feng Yuan waved his hand.

He is the master of Pizhou, and with an order, Jiang Yingjie immediately began to command two hundred elites, changing the formation to protect everyone in the middle, and quickly rushed towards the school field.

These two hundred people were the elite of the family that Feng Yuan had recruited and trained when he first arrived in Jinling.

Their strength is stronger than others, and they are regarded as personal soldiers by Feng Yuan.

School grounds.

A thousand soldiers lined up in an array in the open space, three hundred of whom were armed with muskets, and the other seven hundred were sword and shield men, pikemen, and crossbowmen.

When these soldiers came to the school field, their bodies were still straight, and they did not turn their heads and ears, like a straight and sharp spear, and after the formation, the momentum formed made Yuan Chengzhi and Wen Qingqing shake.

"I didn't expect that there would be such an elite army in small Pizhou!"

When Yuan Chengzhi first came down the mountain, he had seen the army of Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang. More than sixty percent of Li Zicheng's peasant army were homeless and young people who defected to him.

Li Zicheng's real main force is the old battalion soldiers under his command.

Although the old battalion soldiers are good at fighting and full of evil spirit, the impression given to Yuan Chengzhi is similar to that of those officers and soldiers, and they are very powerful when picked out individually, unlike the Pizhou Army in front of them, giving people a sense of uniformity.

Yuan Chengzhi didn't know the strategy of the army, and he didn't know that the kind of soldiers were more powerful, but the Pizhou army in front of him, after going into battle, definitely had good combat power.

Kill, kill, kill!

After Feng Yuan boarded the platform, Jiang Yingjie waved his hand, and a thousand soldiers shouted, the sound shook for miles, and the murderous spirit was in the sky, and Feng Yuan nodded again and again.

"Not bad, not bad!"

Feng Yuan smiled, when he went to Jinling, Jiang Yingjie and Huang Shouzheng were not idle, and they were still training recruits.

During this time, although it was impossible to train all the more than 6,000 soldiers and horses under his command into elites, it was enough to go into battle and could be used.

"Brother Jiang, I'll leave the matter of the Cao soldiers to you this time!"

Feng Yuan had already sent someone to tell Tan Youdao and Jiang Yingjie about his plan, although the two felt that Feng Yuan was too bold to snatch Cao Yin and recruit Cao Bing, but they did not object.

The two saw very clearly that if there is chaos today, it is time to change the dynasty. In such periods, only the strength in the hands is the most important.

The stronger the strength, the safer it is.

Seeing that the north of the Ming Dynasty was not guaranteed, Cao Yin and Cao Bing were sent to the capital, that is, the meat buns and dogs were gone.

"Subordinates take orders!"

This time, Jiang Yingjie led the troops to attack, and Huang Shouzheng stayed in Pizhou.

After inspecting the soldiers and horses under his command, Feng Yuan immediately took a group of people on the boat and stepped into Yanzhou Mansion along the canal, according to the news obtained by the spies, the Cao soldiers under the command of Ma Shiying were not far from them.

......

Yanzhou Mansion, on a hillside near the official road, Feng Yuan stood on a high place, in addition to dozens of personal guards around him, there were Wen Qingqing, Zhao Heng, and Hu Liusheng.

The Evil Tiger Gou Cottage is a green forest in Shandong, and the news is very well-informed, after the Cao soldiers entered Shandong, their every move could not be hidden from the eyes of the spies.

"Childe, you're ready, just wait for those soldiers to come!"

Zhao Heng said in a low voice on the side.

Feng Yuan looked at the two hundred bandit masters pushing several carts on the official road not far away, and nodded slightly.

According to his plan, these carts were loaded with gold and silver treasures, and the bandits pretended to have just returned from plunder, and walked slowly on the official road.

When the soldiers arrived, they saw several carts of gold and silver treasures, and they would inevitably come forward to pursue. When the time comes, these gold and silver treasures will be sprinkled all over the ground......

When the Cao soldiers were scrambling to grab it, Jiang Yingjie, who was ambushed on both sides, could easily surround these thousands of officers and soldiers.
