Quarrying town is located in the upstream of Dangtu about 20 miles, and then go forward into the territory of Jiankang Mansion, because it is located in the main road, so there is a quarrying post in the town, the post station for the official accommodation is built in the town, and for the transmission of letters, the exchange of documents is called "delivery shop", there is a shop every 20 miles above the official road, quarrying is a big post, and there is a "horse delivery shop" dedicated to urgent delivery.

"Horn, our forage is running out again, what do you say, we have eight horses, and we use a lot of chewing a day." A soldier came out carrying a large wooden barrel and shouted at the head who was squatting on the side of the pavement and thinking about life. In the Song system, the shop head is called "shop number", so this shop soldier calls him the head of the shop.

"That pickled goods, I went to him a few times, but I just said that the forage was supplied to the needs of the army, and asked us to save it." The head of the auxiliary trumpet said without looking back. Since the garrison of the army, the state's various expenditures have been constantly compressed, and there is nothing to be done about it.

The soldiers muttered and walked away, and went to feed the horses. The shop stared boredly at the various pedestrians passing by, since the beginning of the war, there were many fewer officials staying at the inn, and there were almost no more people who came to him to borrow horses. This can only show that the war is tight and the situation is not good.

"Gotta get it." A sound of horses' hooves came from the official road upstream, and the shop number turned his head to look over, only to see a short broad horse carrying a cavalry in the color of the forbidden army uniform was galloping forward, and the flag behind it was flying fiercely, and a few big characters were written on it: "Along the River System and Placement Division".

The shop hurriedly stood up, waited for the horse to come to him, stretched out his hand to grab the halter, and immediately the cavalry jumped down, sweating profusely, with an anxious face, and saw that the color of the suit was a "gang leader".

"The letter card of the maker is here, and I will quickly change horses with a certain one." The cavalry didn't talk nonsense, handed over a piece of wooden deed, and took the shop number to see that it was issued by the manufacturing department, and he didn't dare to slack off. While calling for the soldiers behind to lead the horses out, while beckoning the cavalry to rest.

The cavalryman just waved his hand, and hurriedly urged to change his horse quickly, and did not look at the politeness of the shop. The shop number is a little unhappy at the moment, even if it is a six-hundred-mile express delivery, it is not like such self-confidence. So he ignored him and walked into the shop by himself.

At the same time, on the official road in the opposite direction of Dangtu downstream, a group of cavalry of about fifty people was rapidly approaching, and the first person was Li Shiyi, a veteran of the forbidden army who was good at climbing.

"Li Dutou, it's still the horse of Tartar that can be ridden refreshed, and he has run for almost thirty miles, and his breath is still so well-proportioned." The speaker was dressed in light leather armor, with a straight knife at his waist, a bun tied only on his head, and a wide horse dragged by a belt behind his horse.

"That's natural, the Tartar is not only a good horse, but the riding skills are better, that day of the battle, but more than a thousand people, just said, a certain team is just a team, can't be called the head, the ten army sticks are not enough?" Li Shiyi seemed to be angry, but he was actually in a good mood.

In the first battle of Lugang, Liu Yu used him to transmit information in a timely manner regardless of the danger, and he was transferred to the first rank of the official rank, and now he is already the lowest rank of the military attachés of the Great Song Dynasty, "Shouque Yishi Jinwu Deputy Lieutenant", and served as the head of the new cavalry team of 50 people. They were all routs gathered by Tu, and almost all of them were beaten with sticks yesterday.

Among these more than 50 people, more than 30 people were tied to a wide horse, which was the result of requisitioning all the post horses stored in the horse delivery shops in the post stations along the way according to Liu Yu's order. At present, Li Shiyi and others are heading towards the quarry. According to state sources, there are many stagecoaches in the shops under the jurisdiction of this big post.

"Look at what the head said, a certain kind of escape is really a last resort, if it is not Shangguan who escapes first, who wants to do that bastard thing. I only took eight beatings, but to put it simply, this Liu was so ruthless that I still hurt now. ”

"Shut up, what kind of person is Taishou, can you talk about it, I just haven't fought enough, you talk a lot. After this post today, I will rest in that shop. Brethren, hurry up! Li Shiyi shouted and galloped first, and the group of people hurriedly followed.

The cavalryman who was waiting outside the horse shop was already impatient, and since the shop had entered, he had not come out for a long time, so anxious that he stood outside the door and jumped to his feet and shouted, and his words became more and more unpolite, faintly threatening.

"Boss, that person is in a hurry, it's better to lead him, don't be ashamed." The soldiers carefully persuaded him, although he was a soldier, but after all, he was not a serious battle, and he had a sense of small farmers.

"I'm not busy, let him scold again, I'll go to the back room to lie down, it's cold, I've got back sickness again, and it hurts." The shop answered unhurriedly, and paced in with his hands behind his back. It's not a system, the lawsuit is on the top, that is, a mouthful of hair, what is he afraid of.

The soldiers looked up at the bright sun shining in the sky, touched their heads, is it cold? Shaking his head, he continued to pour a bucket of pickled water into the trough, turned around and brought a few bales of hay, and fed them slowly.

"Fence this place, no one is allowed to escape, all the horses are brought out, and those who stand in the way are beaten directly, and no one is killed." The cavalryman was scolding outside the door, when he suddenly heard a group of men and horses running behind him, led by a loud shout after more than ten steps, startling him.

More than fifty horsemen responded in unison, divided into groups to act separately, Li Shiyi rode on a horse and looked at this shop, covering a wide area, among which a pennant was raised on the roof, and the word "hand" was written on it. A large vegetable patch at the back of the yard seems to have been planted by the soldiers in the shop.

The cavalryman who came first, watching the actions of this group, his eyes were a little evasive, and he moved quietly towards the official road with the wide horse he was riding. Seeing that there was no one to stop him, he just got on the official road, turned on his horse, whipped desperately, and galloped towards the way he came.

"Yo, interesting, let's play with him." Li Shiyi had actually seen him a long time ago, and the reason why he didn't move was to see what he wanted to do, and when he saw him running away, he couldn't help laughing, glanced at several people around him, and urged the horses together to chase forward.

The cavalry had not been able to run far, and the wide horse under his crotch was already exhausted and panting, and the slower and slower he ran, and finally stopped. No matter how much he whipped, he stopped moving, and with a long hiss, he fell crooked on the road, and threw the cavalry on his back hard.

"Run, get up and run, let's not catch you, just see how far you can run." Li Shiyi and the men surrounding the ground kept turning in circles, looking at him playfully. The man looked up, bowed his head and said nothing, one hand slowly reached into his arms, and he took out a piece of paper and was about to tear it.

"Stop him!" Li Shiyi roared, and a cavalryman raised the spear in his hand, slashed it away, and came out through his shoulder, nailing the man to the ground. The man let go of his hand in pain, Li Shiyi jumped off the horse, snatched the torn paperwork, opened it, and his face gradually became solemn, although he couldn't recognize all the words, but he understood the general meaning.

"Don't let him die, take him to that shop and wait for so-and-so." Li Shiyi put down the letter and commanded. Several horsemen pulled the man up with their hands and feet, tied his hands and threw him on the wide horse they had brought with him. After his subordinates escorted the man away, Li Shiyi took out the walkie-talkie from his arms, turned on the power, and pressed the launch button.

In the city of Jiankang Mansion, near the Wenkang Fang of the Imperial Palace, there is a four-entry house, and there are almost no people in and out of ordinary times. The surrounding residents only heard that the owner of the house was a woman, but they didn't know that this was the outer house of Xu Wangrong, the commander of Jiankang Terracotta and Horses.

There is no courtyard and water pavilion in the house, but a large martial arts training ground has been opened in the backyard, and there are some heavy weapons such as guns, forks, axes and halberds on the shelves on the side of the field. A man who was nearly six feet tall was wielding a thick-backed broadsword, his upper body was covered with dense chest hair, and sweat slid down his face and fell to his feet.

"Big brother's martial arts have improved again, pa" After playing all the way to the knife, the two men next to him applauded and congratulated, a maid held wet wipes, and the eldest brother Xu Wangrong threw the big knife to a domestic servant, took the wet wipes and wiped his body.

"Third child, you guy, stare less at some women, look at you, how thin you have become." took the robe handed by the maid and put it on, seeing that the third man was staring at his maid intently, he reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

"Hehe, big brother is really a blessing." Weng Fu was not ashamed, smiled and reached out to touch the handmaid's hand, but the woman deftly avoided him, spat him, and turned away. Xu Wangrong shook his head, waved his hand, and the servants standing around him immediately retreated.

The second Mao Shixiong pulled La Wengfu, and the three of them walked to a shade on the edge of the courtyard, and each found a stool and chair to sit down, and did not need a servant, Mao Shixiong picked up the clay pot placed on the stone table, and poured a glass of water with the three of them.

"Yesterday, on the wharf outside the city, there were many big ships, and the people who escorted the ships were forbidden troops, and when I heard the situation, the army had been defeated." Mao Shixiong took a sip of water and told the situation in detail.

"The army of this Yuan people came so quickly, and I also received news that the Wuwei army on the other side of the river and Hezhou are ready to surrender." Weng Fu nodded and continued.

"After the Yuan people passed Taiping Prefecture, it was my Jiankang Mansion, and now this position, can you hold it?" Mao Shixiong said as he spoke, but his eyes were staring at Xu Wangrong, who was speechless.

"Second child, I know what you mean, didn't the third child send people out of the city?" Xu Wangrong was not moved by him, and said lightly after taking a sip of water.

"Big brother, now in this Jiankang City, in addition to the old and immobile Wang Zhao, there is only one Yuan Hong, although he has some ability, his subordinates are only more than 2,000 farmers who have just put down their hoes. The three of us have more than 5,000 people under our command, so it's better not to do one and keep going, this is a great achievement. Weng Fu's eyes flashed, where was there still a lewd appearance.

"I don't know, it's just that there are still 2,000 forbidden troops in the camp in the east of the city, what are they thinking, but they don't know." The 2,000 people in Xu Wangrong's mouth were collected by Jin Ming after the last camp roar, originally about 5,000 people, Jin Ming went to Dangtu and took away 3,000 people, and the rest were all stationed in the camp, and they were all carried by a Fang surname.

"That party has been tested a few times, and it is a little ambiguous, and I think it is also a disciple at both ends of the first rat. The key is still the city gate, take the five gates in the city, with our strength, wait for the arrival of the Yuan people, it is not very difficult. Moreover, the yellow member has already made it clear that the big families in the city are willing to contribute money and efforts. After Mao Shixiong finished speaking, looking at Xu Wangrong's expression, he knew that he was already a little moved.

"Anyway, wealth and danger are sought, how can you achieve great things in the future, which round of this Jiankang Mansion will get outsiders to spread wild, second, you go to find that party again today, and allow him some benefits, as long as he holds down his subordinates and does not move, he will be guaranteed a great achievement."

Xu Wangrong pressed his hand down fiercely and said categorically. He has a more detailed grasp of the situation than the two brothers, and even knows that Liu Yu has finished the army in Dangtu and is on his way back to Jiankang. If you don't start it, you won't have a chance.
