Perhaps due to the topography, the situation in Zhangzhou has not changed much, the raging rainstorm shrouds the earth, and there is no tendency to weaken at all.

However, on the official road outside Zhangzhou City, although the road surface has been muddy, there is still a group of people out of the city one after another, this line is very long, the people in front have lost their traces in the rain and fog, and the back road is still in the city ready to queue.

"Fu, it's raining too much, it's better to wait, I heard that the sea has cleared, and the day after tomorrow at the latest, there will definitely be good weather."

On the city tower, Zhao Jieru looked at the embarrassed appearance of the army below and said worriedly.

Jiang Cai did not doubt his sincerity, because there were still 3,000 people in the team below, who would drive the carts issued by their own families or the government to the rear, transporting heavy grain and straw for the army, and these people were all his Zhao Jieru's people.

"Jiang doesn't know, but Hugh has to say a few days, even a few hours can't wait, the battle is like fire, today no matter what, I have to rush to Anping Bridge today."

For the sake of the other party's full cooperation these days, Jiang Cai saved him a little face, and didn't say what he really thought in his heart, "Isn't it all your fault for this, if you hadn't gone crazy and done the stupid thing of ventilating the news, would Lao Tzu want to do this?" ”

That being said, marching on rainy days is, after all, a taboo in battle, and if you don't say anything else, you can't go up at the speed of this march. The road is too difficult to walk, and it is a shallow pit when you step on it, and there is no need to say that the war horse carrying people will pout your legs if you are not careful, but as he said, the military situation is already as urgent as fire, and if you wait any longer, no one knows what will happen.

Yesterday they barely received the news with the fleet on the sea, they will not wait, if there is no action on their side, so that the enemy on land will perceive, and turn a sneak attack into a strong attack, then everything they have done before will be meaningless.

Therefore, he must not only set off as soon as possible, but also strive to attack before the fleet and attract the attention of the defenders, in order to create the most favorable conditions for the navy, after all, the number of enemy ships is too large, even a third of the ships will cause unpredictable consequences, this consequence, he Jiang can not afford.

Before leaving, everyone had not only had a full meal, but everyone was also given a small portion of the spirits, and only then were they told where they were going and what they were going to do. The soldiers brought from Qiongzhou are not bad, most of them have experienced the war, and their reactions are relatively flat, but those local people, when they heard that they were going to deal with Quanzhou next door, showed not fear, but inexplicable excitement!

Who doesn't know that the city is full of rich merchants, and that no one can be immune from a rebellion of this magnitude, and that when the time comes, there will be untold wealth waiting to be distributed, and even if it is worth risking a small life for this, as for the enemy? No matter how strong you are, you won't be stronger than these people around you, if there are so many strong troops in the Great Song Dynasty, then you have to do it!

As a result, when it was time to open the march, Jiang unexpectedly found that the morale of the team was not lower than expected, and even the speed of the march seemed to be faster, which was unexpected.

"Okay, Zhao Taishou, today's favor, he will be clear one by one in the good news, the hour is not early, Jiang is about to leave, you and I will say goodbye."

Seeing that the former army was leaving the city one after another, Jiang Cai took the coat handed over by his own soldiers and tied it, and said to Zhao Jieru, but he walked downstairs without stopping.

"Fu, be careful in everything, Zhao is here to congratulate the victory of the flag and triumph as soon as possible!"

Zhao Jieru's reaction was a step slower, and when Jiang Cai took the horse, he gave a deep salute on the city tower, for his mistakes, people did not threaten and scolded, and promised to help conceal it in the book, this love, he has to receive.

On the dock outside Quanzhou City, Pu Shi arrived with his entourage, but the cronie he put here in charge was not there, and he grabbed a few of his subordinates and asked, saying that most of them were gambling in a nearby warehouse, and immediately had a gloomy face.

"Ahh

This is the largest warehouse under the name of Pu's, originally for stacking Western goods, but now it is empty, only a group of people get together to drink five or six, the more Pu Shi looks, the more he is on fire, directly from the open door of the horse into the horse, the big food horse under the crotch turned over the four hooves, rushed away from the crowd, overturned the gambling table that was temporarily set up in it, for a time people shouted horses neighing, all kinds of gambling equipment, property scattered all over the ground.

"You stay, the rest get out!"

Pu Shi stood tall on the horse, pointed at the cronies who were still a little confused and yelled, and everyone hugged their heads and ran around, from the outfit, they looked like the nearby boatmen.

"You're so idle that you forgot what you were told to do?"

"Ah Lang, how dare you forget the little one, but there is nothing on the dock."

The cronies ran over with a crawl, and stammered while reminiscing, it was still raining outside at the moment, and he didn't understand which one Lang Jun was doing?

"There's nothing on the docks, huh, but what about outside the docks?"

"Yard outside the docks?"

Outside the dock, the cronies were a little confused, isn't that the sea? What would happen there, I glanced down the gate and suddenly came to my senses.

"Ah Lang, don't worry, those boats are fine, that is, it is raining these days, and they are taken care of every day on weekdays, and nothing can happen to them."

The thinking is smooth, and the speech is also a lot more clever, and the cronies expect that Pu Shi is not at ease to come and see, but in such weather, who can do anything? He wondered if Lang Jun's reaction was a bit of a snake shadow.

"It's not about the ships, it's about the open sea."

"Outer Sea, what's there?"

Pu's thinking made his cronies get off the line again, if it weren't for the natural terrain of Quanzhou Bay, where would these many ships be berthed, needless to say, the outside would know what the situation was, people couldn't hide, and they could still run to make trouble?

"If you don't go to see, who knows what's there, go find someone, take the sea falcon around, if you find out the news, there will be a big reward."

"Ah Lang, in this weather, no one wants to go to sea."

The cronies were stunned by Pu's words, going out is a death, no matter how heavy the reward is, it is useless, where can he find someone.

"No one? Then you go in person, go out and talk, Pu someone spends money to buy his life, there is a promise, and he will ensure that his family is rich and prosperous for a lifetime, how about it? Is there anyone to go. ”

Seeing that his Langjun made a cruel word, his face became hideous, and his cronies didn't dare to say anything, he knew very well the situation on the dock, there were no bastards who didn't want to die, if Pu's words could really show up, maybe someone would take this job, and he responded immediately, and ran out without looking back.

After venting, Pu Shi felt better, his cronies' words were not unreasonable, but his mind was restless, he didn't probe the truth, and he was always not at ease, Xia Jing was right, those boats outside the door were his life, and if there was no life, there would be nothing, and for this, he would do whatever it takes.

"What? Seal the door. ”

The sudden news came from within the city, Zhang Qingyun immediately became alert, this is an unusual signal, although the forbidden army has entered the city before, the city gate has been unimpeded, and there is no prohibition on entering and leaving.

Because of the storm, his contact with the front and rear here was almost cut off, and Jiang Cai's department couldn't get through for a while, this change was obviously very important, and he couldn't make up his mind, whether to send someone to run.

He only brought a total of more than 20 people on this trip, and the monitoring of the city, the wharf and the harbor has been exhausted, and there is basically no one around him except for this subordinate, Zhang Qingyun hesitated a little, after all, this is where his duty lies.

"Shopkeeper, there is news from the dock that the Pu family sent someone to say that they want to buy their lives and go to sea."

"What!"

Before he could figure out a way, a new message followed, this is a signal that can no longer be clear, Pu must have noticed it, no matter how the news leaked, he couldn't hesitate anymore, Zhang Qingyun made a decision at the moment.

"Prepare the horse, if you want to go to Zhangzhou in person, I will hand it over to you here, remember not to relax."

"Ahh No, the shopkeeper, it's too far, it's better to let the small one go. ”

When his subordinates heard this, they were anxious, from here to Zhangzhou, they had to pass through a Tong'an County, and it was raining outside, Zhang Qingyun's body was not very strong, how could he dare to let him go, in case something happened, how to explain to the owner.

"They may not recognize you, but it's better to take a certain trip to ensure that it is correct, and it doesn't hurt, this idea can't be killed."

Zhang Qingyun pretended to pat his hand lightly, it was obvious that the matter had reached a critical juncture, there could be no negligence, he didn't want to take risks, and he could only rest assured if he went by himself.

Unable to resist the shopkeeper's insistence, his subordinates found rain gear to hang it on, Zhang Qingyun staggered onto the horseback with his help, and saw that his subordinates were worried, but the former resolutely refused his accompaniment, and people must be kept here, otherwise there will be no leader in the group and chaos at all.

Fortunately, the rain outside is gradually weakening, and his subordinates will send it to the official road, until he sees his figure disappear into the rain and fog, from this moment on, the war will begin, so many days of waiting finally have a result, Zhang Qingyun's heart is faintly excited, and he doesn't feel that he has a whip in his hand, and the horse under the seat seems to sense the master's mood and roars, running faster and faster on the empty official road, and the flying four hooves bring up countless mud and gallop in the direction of Zhangzhou.
