Chapter 23: Rumors

The Motorola G200 handheld walkie-talkie is small in size and has a sensitive signal. In order to prevent misoperation, Liu Yu pried off all the other keys of the small numeric keypad on the front except for the power switch, transmitting key and receiving key, coated it with thick cement and then wrapped it with black electrical tape on the outside.

Liu Yu only explained it to Wang Dutou in detail, and after seeing that he was proficient, he asked him to pass it on to the sergeants and fiddle with the relay himself.

According to the principle, the antenna of the repeater station should be set up higher, the signal can be transmitted farther, there are not many high-rise buildings in ancient times, the highest in the county is the pagoda in the temple, that is only more than ten meters, Liu Yu decided to place it on the green mountain outside the county.

"Shangguan, the little one is too guarded, I want to know what else Shangguan has to order, just ask the little one to do it." Liu Yu was about to turn on the switch of the repeater station to test it, when he heard a voice coming in from outside the room.

"Oh, your family sent you here, do you know what happened yesterday?" Liu Yu stopped what he was doing, turned his head to look at the man, the roe head and the rat eyes, and at first glance, he was a veteran official.

"Back to Shangguan, Taishou has already ordered him to go down this morning, and the officials in the Yazhong are all posting examples on the streets, and all towns and towns are also dispatched, so they will not miss Shangguan's affairs." The little official replied respectfully.

"That's good, by the way, are there any horses in the county?" Liu Yu suddenly remembered something.

"The few horses that originally existed in the county were sent by the army, but where are they to be found? If Shangguan wants to transport things, he can use ox carts. It's slower, but it's more travelling. "Before spring ploughing began, the cattle of the farmers could be requisitioned and the families could be subsidized.

"I'm asking about riding a horse, not a horse, forget it, you go first, and we'll come back in the evening." Seeing that the little official couldn't get the point of speaking, Liu Yu didn't want to say more.

"The little one obeys, hey, the little one knows where there is a horse!" As soon as the little official turned around and wanted to leave, he suddenly patted his head and said hurriedly. Liu Yu was bluffed by him, and he didn't say anything, staring at him.

"I think of it, there are horses in the post station in the state, and they are all horses that Shangguan wants." Seeing that Liu Yu's face was not good, the little official hurriedly said it.

Stagecoach, yes, Liu Yu's heart moved, no matter how short of horses, there is no shortage of horses, this is a major event related to the transmission of military information. In ancient times, the so-called 600 miles expedited did not mean that you rode a horse to run 600 miles, it was a god. Instead, they pass through the post station all the way, and change horses once at one station, and change horses without changing people.

"This stagecoach can be moved in the state?" Liu Yu asked him.

"Shangguan laughed, the post station is directly under the cardinal, how can the state transfer him." The little official smiled wryly.

The Privy Chamber, the abbreviation of the Privy Council of the Great Song Dynasty, is in charge of military matters. Liu Yu was thinking that it was estimated that it would not work to use Wang Lixin's JAC to recruit ambassadors, and the level was not enough. Jia Rudao's Lin'an Governor's Mansion should be fine, but if it is a little troublesome, he has to go to Hu San Province for help.

Waving his hand to let the little official leave, Liu Yu shook his head and returned to the room, continuing to fiddle with the relay. Wang Lixin's team should still be on the way, and he needs to install the equipment as much as possible to make the information connection smooth.

On the official road along the river leading to Jiankang Mansion, a team of people and horses are marching quickly, the current flag is blown by the wind and flies fiercely, in the middle of a big "gold" word, leaning along the white banner of the flagpole from top to bottom to write "the commander of the Guangjie Army in front of the palace".

Jin Ming did not ride a horse, but walked briskly to the right of the group, pursed his lips tightly, and did not say a word. The whole team was under his command, and the sergeants were breathing steadily, fast but not in a hurry. The golden pheasant slave behind him led his horse and followed his brother's footsteps closely with his head down, but he was a little younger, and sweat was already breaking out on his forehead.

The team has just passed Majiadu, and Jiangning Town is in front, and after Jiangning Town, Jiankang Mansion is only one day away. Jin Ming was breathing a sigh of relief when he saw that there was dust in front of him, and he was already approaching quickly. Jin Ming looked up and saw that it was the sentinel he had sent to make contact.

"Command, the order has been delivered to the Jiankang Prefecture Division, and there is nothing to do." The knight reined in his horse with a light movement, and immediately clasped his fists in salute.

"Quick report and discussion." Jin Ming waved his hand to show that he understood, and the knight urged his horse to gallop away from him.

"Speed up, and rest in Jiangning Town tonight." Jin Ming shouted a command, and the sergeant in front immediately changed from walking to running, and his speed increased suddenly.

Wang Lixin also received a report from the spies, looking at the rolling military horses, thoughtful.

"Taiping Prefecture is small, and it is difficult for Liu Ziqing to find enough people to carry the carts and horses, and he has to land in Jiankang Mansion." Wang Lin said on the side.

"In Jiankang Mansion, how much can be transferred, if it is still less, Jiangbei, Huaixi, and all the state armies along the river, all the ships will be requisitioned, and you have to do this matter in person." Wang Li's faith was not thinking about this matter.

"Will Master Jia lose this battle?" Wang Lin lowered his voice, he really couldn't believe it, the elite of the Great Song Dynasty was exhausted, and the strength and battle advantage were superior, and he couldn't even get a draw?

"Whatever the outcome, it's all inevitable, you know?" Wang Lixin glanced at him, his son is not very talented, if there is no one to support him, his career will be like this.

If you win, you will have to transport a large number of ships to reward the wounded soldiers and spoils, and if you lose, you will lose

"Zhao Wei, Zhao Wei, you must not let someone predict it." Wang Lixin muttered to himself, Wang Lin listened to it, but it was not very real, he was in a trance for a while, and patted the horse and followed his father.

In the area of Jiankang Fuzhong Street, all the officials and wealthy businessmen lived, and Xianchun was transferred here in the ninth year of the general judgment, and the house rented by Yuan Hong's family was also near this place.

"Look at it, look at it, there are only a few words in the "Preface to University Chapters and Sentences", and it is difficult to memorize and understand. It can be seen what the so-called school is like on weekdays, and the master doesn't know anything, so Ren Deer and others are cheating. Yuan Hong looked at his son who was standing aside with his head bowed, and for no reason there was a burst of light.

"The official is really, how old is Da Lang, and it's worth your anger." The lady who got the notification hurried over, saw this scene, waved her son out, served tea with her own hands, and persuaded her gently.

"Hey, everything is not going well, working lady." Yuan Hong patted her hand, the two young couples were very affectionate, and they knew each other's intentions at a glance.

There is the Song Dynasty, the governor of a state, who is in charge of the army and the people, and has extremely heavy powers and responsibilities.

Having said that, but his general judgment of Jiankang Mansion is different, the commander along the river is not only the commander of Jiankang Mansion, but also the queen of the high-grade palace. His own small "prison state" will not play any role at all. Moreover, Yuan Hong's general sentence was still made up by his grandfather Yuan Shao's legacy, which was not as good as the real Jinshi's background, which made him feel a little shorter.

Yuan Hong sighed, he was restless recently, he always felt that something was going to happen, and the garrison in the house was faintly moving, but the system department ignored it, and the rumors were spreading, which had affected the township soldiers led by his own family.

"What the hell are they going to do?" The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, Yuan Hong got up abruptly and went to get the official uniform hanging on the shelf.

"What does the official want to do at this time?" The lady asked softly as she helped him tie his ties.

"Well, let's go to the school and have a look." The 2,000 township soldiers under Yuan Hong's command were all personally recruited by him and stationed next to the school field in the southwest corner of the city.

When Yuan Hong rushed to the school yard and dismounted and entered, the drill of the township soldiers had ended, and the soldiers were resting in twos and threes. The commander who was standing on the side saw Yuan Hong and his entourage coming, and hurriedly came out to greet him.

"How's it going?" Yuan Hong didn't wait for anyone to speak, so he asked.

"Back to the verdict, the time is still short, and I am afraid that it has not yet been formed. It's just that "the command wants to stop talking, and the source of the township soldiers is not as good as the forbidden army, and they are all recruited from exiled outsiders, and they are not high."

"Are there any rumors in the army?" Yuan Hong looked at the village soldiers in the school yard and lowered his voice.

"I don't know whether to say it or not." The Commander said in a slurred.

"Speak." Yuan Hong couldn't bear his behavior and shouted.

"Then the humble post will be said bluntly, since most of the forbidden army in the palace has been transferred, the rest are rumors, saying that Jia Xianggong only knows pleasure and does not care about the sergeants, I am afraid that he will be defeated!" The last two words, the system was said close to Yuan Hong's ear.

"Ahh Yuan Hong exclaimed in a low voice, then covered his mouth with his hand, and looked around in a panic.

"Not only that, but there are also rumors that Jia Xianggong will transfer me and the rest of the army to go." Commander continued.

Yuan Hong was inexplicably surprised, this kind of rumor must have been deliberately done by someone, don't say that the outcome is undecided, even if it is really defeated. The news should also be blocked immediately to reassure the army. Is it the Yuanren spies who are doing it? It looks a lot like that.

After finding out the definite news, Yuan Hong stopped staying longer, and instructed the commander to pay more attention to the morale of the army. So he took his relatives with him, and rode away. Because of the anxiety in his heart, he kept whipping his beloved horse under his crotch, and galloped all the way down the long street.

The Yamen of the System Division is located on the side of the palace, facing the royal street in front, and there are two sergeants in the uniform of the forbidden army standing in front of the door, with a chest and a concave belly, holding the handle of a knife, looking at the passers-by.

Yuan Hong stopped galloping, turned over and dismounted, and walked quickly to the gate, although the sergeant who guarded the door recognized him, he did not dare to let him go, and stretched out his hand to stop him.

"If you want to enter the judgment, please sign up, don't make it difficult for us."

"Please let me know, there is something important to see the commander." Yuan Hong knew that he was reckless, stood still, and said to the sergeant.

"The verdict will be waited for a while." The sergeant on the left turned and walked in.

Yuan Hong walked up and down the door, stretching out his head to look into the door from time to time, and after a while, he saw the sergeant running all the way.

"What? Ill? Yuan Hong was taken aback, the governor of a government said that he was sick and didn't see anyone at this time, how should this be good? He didn't believe it, such a big thing, did Shuai Si hear the news?

Yuan Hong raised his eyes and saw that the majestic palace was hidden between the green mountains, and the eaves were painted in the building, directly in the clouds. The sky was covered with dark clouds, strong winds were blowing, and a heavy rain accompanied by thunder roared.
