Chapter 7: Feng Jing and Ma Liang
Yun Zheng was relatively wealthy and had a boat to sit on, but Yang Wenguang, as Di Qing's vanguard, set off from Bianliang City, Tokyo with men and horses in the starry night, and worked hard along the ancient road to advance to northern Guangxi.
Forcibly cross the Hanshui from the mouth of the old river and finally arrive in Yingzhou, then cross Jingmen, take the Dangyang Trail to barely reach Jiangling Mansion on Jinghu North Road, and finally take a boat from Huarong Road to Dongting Lake, in order to go up the Xiangjiang River, and Yun Zheng like Yun Zheng to take a boat to Xing'an and cross the Lingqu to arrive in Guizhou, it is very hard, even if it is as strong as the Western Army, marching in the hot weather in May, it is also very sinful.
Not to mention that when I arrived at the edge of Dongting Lake, I found that I had no boat to sit on. This made Yang Wenguang, a fierce general, furious.
Gulouzhai is the largest ferry port on the exit of Huarong Road, when Yang Wenguang's 5,000 troops arrived, they found that this prosperous ferry port was empty, only a few small fishing boats were fishing on the water, and the slightly larger boats could not be seen.
"Yang Dian's envoy, the ships in Gulouzhai have been booked away by a wealthy businessman in Yuezhou, I heard that they are all going to Xiangyin for the purpose of transporting troops and horses, you want ships, only after the idle ships come back." An official in a gauze shirt said to Yang Wenguang with a smile.
The commander in front of the palace made Yang Wenguang's lungs explode, knowing that he couldn't get angry, he held back his anger and asked: "Merchants can only use merchant ships when they use boats, have you been hired by someone else?" ”
The official said with a smile: "The commander doesn't know, the Dongting Navy belongs to the Hanyang Army, and His Majesty's will is issued to the Hanyang Army, so the warships of the Hanyang Army will come to Gulouzhai to receive the commander to cross the lake, and then cross the Lingqu along the Xiangshui River and finally send you to Guizhou, which the Hanyang Army will not delay no matter what." ”
Yang Wenguang gritted his teeth and said, "Where are the warships of the Hanyang Army now?" ”
The official heard Yang Wenguang's stiff tone, but he was not angry and still said with a smile: "Naturally, I came from Hanyang Prefecture to pick you up, but the army wants to travel, this is not something that can be done in a short time, according to the lower officials, you wait for the news from Xiangyin." It is more realistic to have extra ships to move forward than to wait for the Hanyang army to come. ”
"The military situation is urgent, the war on the West Road of Guangnan is in full swing, and the officer leads the 5,000 army to the starry night and does not dare to slack off for a moment. You're asking me to wait? Isn't it bad to deceive the sword in the hands of the official? "The beard under Yang Wen's wide jaw is windless and automatic.
The official lowered his face and said: "No matter how sharp your sword is, it can't cut off the head of this official, although my Dongting Lake Navy is a subordinate of the Hanyang Army, it is directly under the jurisdiction of the Yuezhou Government, to be honest, the Dongting Lake Navy has become a commercial fleet as early as ten years ago, you are a big army, naturally you should use warships, since it is a merchant ship, then it is a matter of price." The imperial court's policy of selling has long been implemented in Yuezhou, as long as you can afford the price, your 5,000 men and horses, the lower officials still have a way to send them to Guizhou.
Commander, you're early. It's not that the Hanyang army has missed the deadline, but it's really not easy for your Xiang army to rush to Dongting Lake with the forbidden army, look at your subordinates, it's time to take a good rest, it's not the lower officials to scare you, Guangnan West Road has been broken by Nong Zhigao, and the two generals Zhang Zhong and Jiang Kai, the Guangnan East Road Commander, have been killed. Could it be that an army like you can still beat Nong Zhigao?
The forbidden army led by General Yun is a good opponent for others, General Yang, don't join in the fun. A few more days in the ancient building village will be good for you. ”
Yang Wenguang looked back at his majestic Huanzhou army and gritted his teeth and said, "We are the forbidden army, and Yun Zheng is the Xiang army." ”
The officials of Gulouzhai snorted and said: "The lower officials understand, the lower officials understand, this is the imperial court's plan to hide from the sky and cross the sea." Calling the forbidden army the box army, and calling the box army the forbidden army, this is to catch Nong Zhigao off guard, it's really wonderful! ”
Yang Wenguang was confused, he could see it. This official is really complimenting, not sarcastic, but the difference between the Xiang army and the forbidden army is too great, can't this fool see it? The Xiang army has so many horses, such good armor, such majestic warriors?
Just as he was about to continue to hold him accountable, a big man with a full body came out behind him and bowed down and said: "Commander, if the person who leads the army over there is Yun Zheng, the capital of the Wusheng Army, we can't fight, anyway, there is always a large army to go to Guizhou first, and there is no difference between them and us." ”
Yang Wenguang wanted to ask, but he saw his subordinate Ma Jinhu, the governor of Huanzhou, glaring at him, so he stopped talking and ordered the whole army to camp and wait for the warship.
"Ma Jinhu, what the hell is going on? We are a forbidden army, why are we mistaken for a box army by others? Leaving the dock, Yang Wenguang immediately asked Ma Jinhu.
Ma Jinhu smiled bitterly and said: "Commander, we are indeed a forbidden army, this is just compared with other armies, if compared with the Wusheng army, we can't compare, whether it is equipment or money, we look more like the van army." ”
Yang Wenguang quieted down, Ma Jinhu is a kind of love general, the reason why he can fight with the Huanqing Army this time is purely for the sake of Di Qing's face, Yang Wenguang himself has long known Ma Jinhu's reputation, this person is brave in the battle array, a big ring knife has few opponents, not the kind of rat who raises people's morale and destroys his own prestige, since he said that the Wusheng Army is not bad, and can afford to take on the heavy responsibility of raiding Guizhou, he is not good to say anything.
"Commander, you know that the lowly is a straight person, and there are not many generals in our Great Song Dynasty who can admire the lowly position, but Yun Dujian is definitely one, whether it is commanding or fighting, he is a first-class good hand, and the lowly post has also heard a few days of dispatch under him, and the bandits of the Great Broken Kongtong Mountain are the ones who commanded it."
"It's a pity that our boat hasn't arrived yet, and there is no extra money and food in the army to hire big ships, otherwise we will definitely have to compete with this legendary figure of the Great Song Dynasty in Guangyuan Prefecture." Yang Wenguang retracted his left hand and broke off the armrest of the chair raw......
"Eat more, you must eat more, it's hard to get on the boat and then want to eat hot, when you get to Guizhou, why just wait to drink blood and water, a group of bastard officials on the dog day all ran away, leaving the people in the place and leaving them alone, so that every day should not be called the earth and the earth is not spiritual, our brothers are going to Guizhou to suppress bandits, kill Nong Zhigao these bandits, the people of Guangnan will have a better life, go to Guizhou to suppress bandits and we suppress bandits in Shu is the same, but there are a little more people, rest assured, Nong Zhigao's martial arts are high, If he throws a fire and thunderbolt over, he will also turn into a piece of meat, and there will be fewer bandits who are killed by his brothers? ”
The head of the army keeps walking around his team with a rice bowl, and after eating two bites of food, he must encourage the ambition of the soldiers, which is already a norm in the Wusheng Army, and the long-term control of Lao Tzu's idea of being the first in the world will sooner or later cultivate the arrogance of these low-level soldiers.
Just like taking a boat this time, knowing that Yang Wenguang's army was about to arrive at Gulou Village, Yun Zheng did not make any concessions because this person was a person he admired very much.
Cui Da is no longer so fat, in the past half a year, he has run the road from Shuzhong to Guizhou twice, just to open up the grain road of Wushengjun on this road.
Although Wu Shengjun has the habit of eating the enemy, he can only honestly arrange his own grain and grass on the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and Cui Da did such a thing.
He is also one of the few people who knows what the Wusheng army is going to do, Yun Zheng's army is attacking in front, he needs to quickly and effectively transport the spoils of the Wusheng army back to Shuzhong, or cash in a few Tongdu Dayi, this is the means that the Wusheng army relies on to make a living, and there is no room for loss.
Cui Da's subordinates also have 200 Wusheng soldiers to pick the remaining soldiers, and the veterans who have survived the battlefield account for more than half of them, and their role is to ensure Cui Da's safety and material safety.
Xiangyin is a node, one of the nodes carefully selected by Cui Da, because Xiangyin is just in the downstream of Xiangshui, and then a little further is the vast Dongting Lake, less than 150 miles to the west of the waterway will reach Yuezhou, along the Jingjiang River to the north is Jiangling Mansion, Jiangling west control Bashu, north of Xianghan, with rivers and lakes, finger arm Wu Yue, is the Central Plains communication Lingnan key rush, called "southeast town".
Although it is more convenient to place the node in the metropolis, whether it is Yun Zheng or Su Xun, they have denied Jiangling, and even Yuezhou has denied it, Wu Shengjun must not make things so obvious, it is better to put it in an important but inconspicuous place.
Cui Da, as a wealthy businessman in Shuzhong, released a message, people who make a living by boats on Dongting Lake flocked to it, there is a big difference between the boats in Shuzhong and the boats in Dongting Lake, the boats on the Yangtze River have a deep draft, and there is no way to sail into the shallow Hunan water, especially the section of the Lingqu, it is impossible to pass heavy ships, so they have to change to flat-bottomed boats suitable for shallow water navigation.
Wu Shengjun's personal combat power is not high, so the dependence on weapons is very high, especially as a weapon to stabilize the army's heart, Wu Shengjun's soldiers attach great importance to it, generally speaking, as long as he carries a fire and thunder bullet in his arms, a person is not afraid of a big insect, everyone has two of these things in their arms, and the sergeant loves him as if he was his life.
There are more weapons, and there are more materials, not to mention the grain and straw of the Wusheng Army, the combat team of 10,000 people carries more materials than Di Qing's entire army, and it can be regarded as the richest army in the Great Song Dynasty, no wonder those people think that the Wusheng Army is the forbidden army, and the Huanzhou Military Chambers led by Yang Wenguang are definitely not only businessmen, but also the confused officials of the Great Song Dynasty.
If the official in Gulouzhai knew where Yang Wenguang came from, he would definitely be scared to death, just thinking that they were Xiang Jun, so he would be so arrogant.
