Chapter Twenty-Nine: Lu Gang (Part 1)

Tongling County is the most marginal area along the river in Chizhou, but at the moment it has become a large barracks. The expedition led by Boyan himself was stationed in the county seat, and the area around the county seat for nearly 100 miles had long been covered by the all-encompassing Mongolian scouts.

On a hill about ten miles away from the river, the official road to the east passes through below, and on the official road, one after another marching procession hurriedly advances. In the interval, the herald cavalry with a flag tied to his back ran back and forth. The flags are all over the sky, and there is a feeling of endlessness.

In the small bushes on the top of the mountain, a pair of vigilant eyes looked down, and muttered something.

"Damn it, seventeen dials, the total number is no less than 80,000, is this going to be desperate." The whisperer was covered with a straw mat and his face was covered with yellow mud, and if he did not move, he hid in the bushes like a stone.

"Eighteen, you missed the cavalry, don't look at the number of only a thousand, if you really want to see the battle, that is the real killing of the Tartars." Another stone on the side suddenly made a sound.

"Alas, that's right, there is no one in the back, there will be no more teams passing today, you and I have gone so far forward, haven't you missed the real show." Stone No. 1 slowly took out a gourd from his arms, opened the stopper, and tried to pour some water into the palm of his hand, but found that it was already empty.

"There won't be tomorrow, the main force of the Tartars is almost over, the big war is imminent, we are useless here, contact the above, and retreat at night. I don't have it anymore, bear with me. Stone No. 2 opened his gourd, and it was just as empty.

Fifteen miles downstream of Tongling, there is a sandbar in the middle of the big river, at this moment it is also densely covered with flags, the camp tents are connected, not far from the big river, thousands of warships are lined up on the river, more than 70,000 infantry troops in front of the main force of the Song army, more than 30,000 people of the water division, all stationed here, this sandbar is called "Dingjiazhou".

On a large rock on the bank of the river, an old soldier in the uniform of the forbidden army frowned and stared at the large camp in the distance, and several sergeants under the stone held a black object and kept calling.

"Tongling, Tongling, you wait for this word to be more detailed, you can't really hear it, and you finish speaking." A sergeant shouted.

"Li Shiyi, you don't know anything, he is waiting under the nose of the Tartar, how dare he shout, tell the two of them to come back, be careful, don't have to reply," the old soldier scolded the sergeant, although Tongling is only more than ten miles away, it can be ridden all over the Tartars, all the way back, and if you are not careful, you will lose your life.

"Tell them that if they are unfortunate enough to encounter a tartar, they must not die, and that thing must be destroyed, and must not fall into the hands of the tartars. You and other family members, you will be generous and have no need to worry. This is not Liu Yu's order, in Liu Yu's opinion, nothing is more important than human life, but in the era he lives in, there are many things that come before life.

The black technology of walkie-talkie, even if it falls into the hands of the Yuan people, they are useless, not to mention that they can't use it, even if they can, there is no place to charge, so Liu Yu doesn't care about this at all. It's just that in the minds of his subordinates, such a god-sent thing is far more important than his own life.

In the camp of Lugang, the governor's office is opportune, and Hu Sanxing, who is in charge of the army's grain and straw, is also studying the walkie-talkie in his hand, since Liu Yu sent this thing to him, he has a strong interest in this magical thing.

Every day, watching Liu Yu's subordinates busily pass on all kinds of information, some from Dingjiazhou, Tongling, upstream, and some from Jiankang Mansion in Dangtu County, downstream, simple operations have long been learned by him, and even he personally talked to Liu Yu, who was far away in Jiankang.

Although there is no record of such things in various books, Hu Sanxing is still very proud and believes that it was produced by the Great Song Dynasty. In his opinion, there are countless skilled craftsmen in the weapons prisons of Lin'an Mansion and Jiankang Mansion, and it is not unusual to be able to create such things.

This gave him more confidence in Liu Yu's plan, but because of this, the future of the army would become even more obscure. The commander of the First Army, Jia Rudao, still sings and dances every day, plays tricks and plays, is drunk and dreams of death, and Hu Sanxing is helpless every time he is sad and angry.

"Haven't you come back yet?" I haven't contacted Liu Yu for two days, and Hu Sanxing wants to talk to him.

"Hu Jiyi, we Liu Jiyi said before we left that we would go for two or three days, Shangguan doesn't have to worry, maybe there will be news in a while." The sergeant who replied was specially arranged by Liu Yu to protect Hu San Province, and there were a total of 20 people in the group.

In fact, Hu Sanxing already knew his answer, but he was unwilling to ask again. He knew that Liu Yu was mostly running for ships and vehicles and other vehicles, and after many days, the already piled up materials in Lugang had increased a lot, and he really didn't know how to transport them away in a short time.

Also concerned about Liu Yu's whereabouts is Meng Zhijin, the governor of Taiping Prefecture in Dangtu County, this messenger sent a bunch of jobs to himself, and then disappeared without paying attention, and he was able to let his subordinates send news two days ago, but there was no news at all in the past two days.

On the wharf by the river outside Tucheng, all kinds of large and small boats blocked the port, and the boatmen wandered around the county town all day with nothing to do, and even the security was much worse. The state capital has to stir up these things every day, but they are all recruited by Liu Yu, and they can't move.

When Meng Zhijin thought of this, he put his hand on his forehead and had a headache. The 5,000 people who were recruited according to the requirements were also supported by the treasury every day, what was this Shangguan going to do? The money and food of the imperial court are spent in such a vain, and he is not afraid of being impeached?

The relay station on the green hill outside the city was carefully taken care of by five sergeants, although they didn't understand the principle, everyone knew that it was because of this magical box that could transmit sound for thousands of miles. The valiant scouts have gone deep into the enemy territory to obtain information from life and death, and there is no need to worry about not being able to send it back.

With it, you can know what's going on in front of you even if you're in the rear. Liu Yu's task for them is also very simple, they must ensure that the red light on the box is on, and once the light turns yellow, they must turn on the charger on the side.

The leader of the army had to go up the mountain every day to personally investigate, and once he found that someone was lazy, he would march the law. Since this is the relay place for all signals, Wang Dutou can also get new news one step ahead of others. According to the pre-planned arrangement, the 3,000 infantry troops in Jiankang City are rushing over day and night, and they will be able to enter the county tomorrow.

Liu Yu, who was still in Jinling City, was also ready to cross, and after the task was assigned to the fat man and the other three, he had been waiting for the goods he had ordered in the hotel. In addition to a large canvas bag of various items, a plastic drum of gasoline weighing a total of 20 catties had to be carried up, which was a consumable for the generator, and it was indispensable.

Sitting on the long-distance bus to Dangtu County, Liu Yu once again carefully instructed the fat man and others who came to see him off, and the key to the success of the plan lies in their preparation of materials. After getting out of the car, he arrived at the pre-surveyed crossing point, Liu Yu didn't care that it was still daytime, found a place to carry people, put on a long shirt and immediately opened the portal.

Hearing the familiar voice of his own Jiyi, Wang Dutou, who was eating, was overjoyed, originally he thought that Liu Yu would arrive with Jiankang Bujun. Throwing the heavy burden to the smiling veteran oil, Liu Yu smiled and scolded and opened a cigarette and threw it to everyone he saw the forbidden army, now everyone knows that this is a good thing, and privately calls it "fairy smoke".

Liu Yu, who was a little hungry in his belly, ordered Huotou to bring him a copy too, so he squatted under the big tree in the courtyard and chatted with a group of sergeants while eating.

"Oh, didn't they send the news back then?" Liu Yu asked about the farthest group of scouts, who had gone deep into the county town of Tongling occupied by the Yuan army, and their news was also the most important.

"According to Li Shiyi's report, the two of them were very unclear at that time, so they asked them to withdraw first, and there is no news now." Wang Dutou shook his head, this news came in the morning, and until now, there has been no news of the two of them.

"The two places are only separated by more than 10 miles, if it is smooth, it should have been to Dingjiazhou a long time ago." Liu Yu knew that Wang Dutou would not know the details, so he could only speed up the speed of eating, hastily bury his stomach, and rush to the green mountains with people.

On the way from the county to Qingshan, when passing the wharf close to the river, Liu Yu found that countless ships had been moored in the port, he knew that most of them were driven from the Jiankang area downstream, and the dense and towering masts reminded him of the scene of a million heroes crossing the river, and he couldn't help but feel a little enthusiastic.

"Call Ding Jiazhou immediately, and hand it over to a certain person after connecting." Walking into the relay room temporarily used as a wing of the temple on the mountain, Liu Yu stopped the sergeant on duty from wanting to salute him and commanded.

learned from Li Shiyi that the duo who came out of the front had not returned, and they had not been in contact with this side. Liu Yu stopped talking, took out a cigarette and lit one for himself, and smoked silently, hoping that things would not be as bad as he imagined.

"Don't worry, those two are careful people, most of them are Tartar detectives, and the two of them can't go faster." When Wang Dutou saw his appearance, he whispered comfort.

"I hope so, the order will go down, and you can't take the initiative to call them, you can only wait." Liu Yu was afraid that a sudden call would cause trouble for the two. Everyone in the room is working quietly, and from time to time there are various news that the people from Jiankang are led by Jin Ming himself, and they will arrive tomorrow.

Ending the call with Jin Ming, Liu Yu continued to wait, he knew almost everyone of the fifty forbidden soldiers accompanying him, although he didn't get along for a long time, he didn't want anyone to have an accident.

"Jiyi, those two are talking to Ding Jiazhou." Suddenly, a sergeant's voice rang out in the room.

"Open." Liu Yu walked over quickly, and the sound of a conversation immediately came from the relay.

"Li Shiyi, you pickled goods, write down Lao Tzu's words, the two of us can't go back, my mother's dozen or so Tartar cavalry, want to catch Lao Tzu alive, phew, they are dreaming. Sue sΓΉ Wang Tou, Ji Yi, Command, the Tartar army has set off, and there is a certain person who has not embarrassed them, the day of his mother, grandpa is a good man again after eighteen years, and he finished speaking. Come on!! Dog tartar, grandpa is not afraid! ”

A gruff voice echoed through the hut, and no one spoke, until the sound in the relay turned to the rustling of electricity. "The army of the Tartars has departed." This is the task that Liu Yu sent them out, and for this sentence, they took two lives.

"Let's go." Although his heart hurts, Liu Yu has no time to grieve, and this sentence means that the big war is imminent, and he must immediately rush to the dock and lead the assembled ships upstream, and he will not even have time to wait for the infantry that will arrive tomorrow.
