Chapter 17: Variables (3)

"Shi Biaozi, when did your dog day arrive?? As for the people, you are the only one. ”

Jiang Cai punched the person on the shoulder, pushing him backwards, but fortunately he didn't use all his strength, otherwise he would definitely fall.

Shi Zhong was hugged by the two sergeants, and the corners of his mouth squeezed out a smile crookedly, grandma's, he came by flying horse, and he almost never paused, the person was actually already shriveled, how could he still withstand such a great force.

Jiang Cai was indeed very happy, the rain has not stopped in the past few days, and the contact with the sea has been cut off, and the enemy situation in front is not very clear, he is extremely depressed, and suddenly saw the old brother who had been away for more than a month standing in front of him, and he was naturally overjoyed, where can he still take care of those details.

This is not a place to talk, Jiang Cai took him to an inn in the county seat, which was completely covered by him, and the boss and his men were all sent home, and all his own soldiers and some officers lived, and the rest of the sergeants camped all over the city, and took over the city defense at the same time.

At this moment, there was only one table in the lobby on the first floor of the inn, and the rest were put away in the corner, because of the rain, a brazier rose in the hall, Shi Zhong's whole body was already soaked, and the water droplets flowed down his clothes and armor, and his upper body couldn't help but tremble.

"Hurry up, take it off and bake it, tell the kitchen to warm a pot of wine, and put some dishes, if there is anything ready-made, hurry up, there is something in the stomach to ease up, are you afraid of missing the war?" I don't even want my life. ”

At this time, Jiang Cai noticed his situation, most likely tired and hungry, shook his head angrily and laughed.

Gulping down a glass of wine and putting on some hot dishes, Shi Zhong, who had been almost naked, breathed a long sigh of relief, but in the face of Jiang Cai's burning gaze, his expression dimmed again, there were more than 20 people when he set off, and now only one of them is back, how can he speak?

"Don't worry, say it slowly, since you're back, it's not a big deal."

Zhaofu is right, now that he is back in the army, with his brothers, what is there to worry about, he calmed down and slowly talked about his previous experience, Shangjing, attacked, rescued, one of the two prisoners died, and only five of his men were unharmed, Jiang was a little moved, who would have thought that those people were so bold that they dared to do it at the feet of the Son of Heaven.

"When a certain departure, Jin Shuai has received an edict, I believe it will come soon, but when a certain pass through Quanzhou, I found that they have controlled the city, and the entry and exit are very strict, so I walked around the city, but I met Mr. Zhang's men outside the city, and then I learned the whereabouts of Zhaofu."

"You guy, it's a coincidence, if it weren't for the heavy rain these days, I'm afraid that the war has ended, and now I can only be trapped here, waiting for the sky to clear, so I won't be discouraged!" Jiang Cai waved his hand hatefully, and then continued: "Since you have met Mr. Zhang, can he say that there is any movement in Quanzhou City?" What about the harbor. ”

Shi Zhong thought about it and shook his head, did the city notice it? According to him, there should be no, otherwise the city should be closed to prohibit entry and exit, as for Quanzhou Port, Shi Zhong's feeling is a big, the whole area can not be seen at a glance, and the sea ships docked inside are dense, just like those mountains and forests around Qiongzhou City.

Jiang Cai believed in his judgment, this is the best spy under his command, he has an unusual touch to the enemy, it seems that this damn weather is not without benefits, although he can't move, the enemy is not, in this kind of weather, those ships can only honestly stop in the harbor, waiting for themselves to receive it.

"Since you're back, you don't have to say it today, eat and drink well and rest for the night, tomorrow, the cavalry outside the city will be handed over to you, you know very well what to do, you don't need to say more."

"Don't worry, Lao Shi will definitely not let a bird fly over."

Because of fatigue, his physical strength was not as good as usual, after a few glasses of wine, Shi Zhong was already a little drunk, he patted his chest very proudly and promised, Jiang Cai nodded and stood up and walked out, his glass of wine never moved.

At the time when Shi Zhong was admitted to the camp, at about the same time, a figure who was also soaked was brought into the Pu Villa in Quanzhou City, he was originally looking for Tian Zhizhou, the chief official of the city, but now it was not the turn of the person to be in charge, so he was naturally brought to the Pu family.

Seeing that the visitor took out a roll of oiled paper from his closet, the bread was very tight, and the letter was not wet at all, and this document covered with the big red stamp of the military affairs of Zhizhangzhou turned out to be an official document from a neighboring state, Pu's heart flashed a funny feeling.

"Are you too guarded okay?"

The person who came was so embarrassed, and the letter was so hidden, Pu Shi did not rush to read the letter for a while, but looked at it and asked.

"My life is not exceeded, but I was locked up in the house, not free, the rebel army blocked all the passages outside the city, and the small one went around a big circle before coming here, to see that the city was heavily guarded, did you get the news?"

The words of the person made Pu a little surprised, Zhangzhou? Although it is close at hand, there are a few of his own shipyards over there, but he doesn't have the idea of fighting it, where did the rebels come from?

"Don't be in a hurry, drink a cup of hot water and speak slowly."

From the mouth of the visitor, Pu heard a news that seemed to him to be very ridiculous, a group of soldiers and horses on the Guangnan East Road next door crossed the border to Zhangzhou, and what they did was exactly the same as what they did here, occupying the state city and holding the chief official, except that they did not pull the flag, it was no different from rebellion! Is this still contagious?

"Quang Nam Terracotta Division"

Pu Shi carefully read the letter in his hand, but it is basically the same as what the person said, the news should be true, but why is it weird? Do you want to solve the siege at the request of the Song people in the letter, or do you want to contact that colleague to do things together? Either one made him want to laugh out loud.

", there is a fart soldier in Guangnan, your Lao Pu is a lot of crooked intestines, and he has surrounded himself, forgetting that there were pirates last year, they closed the city for help, and in the end you and I joined forces to fight back?"

Xia Jing, who rushed to hear the news, pouted his lips disdainfully, to say that there are some soldiers and horses on Guangnan West Road, because it is adjacent to Zhancheng, Dali and other countries, which is where the border defense is located, but East Road? There are a few commanded forbidden troops stationed in Guangzhou, in his eyes, not to mention that they are not as good as the soldiers in their hands, even the local Xiang army is not as good, at most they can be regarded as the village warriors who have just picked up the bow and arrow, and they dare to rebel against the city with this kind of strength? Let's talk nonsense.

"No, this army is extraordinary, as the letter says, the forwards are all cavalry, just think, which way will be this kind of construction?"

"Jingshi is here? It's impossible, they obviously hit the realm of Guangnan, there will be nothing wrong with this, besides, the ears and eyes of our people along the line have not been reported, such a big military horse crossing, they don't know? ”

The two of them can't think about it, at least they won't be wrong with the forbidden army uniforms, and they don't know anything else? Things seem to be a little tricky, I don't know if it's friend or foe, it's not easy to respond, but the other side doesn't have many soldiers and horses, but I'm not worried about how much of a threat it will be.

"You have to be careful, it's always a good idea."

"What do you want, Lao Pu?"

Pu Shi beckoned him to come over with his ear, and then instructed him in his ear, Xia Jing thought about it for a moment before leaving the house, but finally nodded. Pu sent him out of the house, and watched him put on his coat and go on his horse, and the heavy rain hit the bright tiles on the hall, flowed down the dripping eaves to the front of the hall, and gathered into a stream of streams into the pond.

Zhang Qingyun outside the city finally breathed a sigh of relief after sending Shi Zhong away, there were not many people here, if he sent someone to contact Jiang Cai's department, it would be even more stretched, he wiped the water droplets on his forehead with his sleeve, this action no longer has the slightest temperament of a scholar.

"What is it like at sea?"

"In the past few days, only those who have entered and have not come out, and the brothers are staring at it, and the truth will not be reported until later, or will the small ones be urged?"

Zhang Qingyun waved his hand and said that there was no need, the sergeant was not wrong, the current situation, the sea ships can't leave the port, it must be a lot more than before, the number is not important, the key is Jiang Cai's actions, it's a pity, God doesn't open his eyes, this heavy rain has been raining for three days, and there is still no weakening trend.

He placed most of his manpower around the city, and there was also a group in the city, even if it was a fight, as long as he was careful, there was no problem in saving his life, if it wasn't for the strict order of the owner, he wanted to stay by himself.

"The shopkeeper, the brothers from outside the west of the city have come to report that a troop of soldiers and horses is passing through the city gate, and it seems that there is movement."

"Oh, what soldiers, how many people, where are they going?"

Zhang Qingyun was interrupted by the sudden news, this news is a little unusual, since the forbidden army took over the city defense, they have never been out of the city, west of the city, that is where the official road to Fuzhou is located, what do they want to do?

"About a commander, all of them are in the color of the forbidden army's uniform, it looks like they want to arrest someone."

"Tell the brethren to be careful, and not to show their secrets, but to keep an eye on them from afar."

A commander of only 500 people, this point of people will definitely not attack anywhere, what will be the place to be in the west of the city? Zhang Qingyun didn't care, as long as his subordinates were fine, this might be an inconsequential episode.

Dark clouds shrouded the sky and the sea, the sky and the earth were gray, occasionally a lightning bolt split the black curtain, the rain and fog in the sky were like a curtain, blocking everything out of sight, Zhang Qingyun couldn't help but turn to the south with some worry, following the direction that should be Jiang Cai's department, but the scene in his eyes made him open his mouth wide in surprise, at the top of the sky, a touch of golden light faintly revealed from the gap, like a black cloth cut by scissors, the sky, about to clear?
