Chapter 103: The Situation Is Not Optimistic

Li Si quoted the first half of Zhang Liang's statement, but the second half of the sentence "heroes are also timely" was unspoken.

I don't know if Li Si thinks he is not a hero or if he has other ideas, Li Yu doesn't know.

There was no topic here, so I simply buried my head in the road.

Li Yu's men and horses traveled to the banks of the river, and then followed the river all the way to the east, and the destination was Nanjun.

And with such a high-intensity rush, not to mention that Wenchen like Li Si and even weak medical students can't stand it, even the guards behind him can't stand it.

The convoy had not participated in the war for many years, and although there was daily training, the intensity was far less intense.

And the general who was ordered to lead the guard army was Zhao Hao's nephew, Zhao Chong, who served as the captain of the city guard.

Now seeing the Immortal Monarch Marquis taking the lead, Zhao Chong was stunned.

Could it be that the Immortal Monarch is really a land immortal as the rumors say?

Otherwise, how can you not get tired......

How do you know that the divine fire horse under Li Yu is a psychic horse, which is more running than ordinary horses, and it is called a stable word.

In this short period of three or four hundred miles, it is almost like a hot body, not to mention that the Divine Fire Horse has not been happy for a long time, and he has already been in a panic.

Just as Zhao Zhong hesitated, he stepped forward to ask Li Yu if he would rest for a while before leaving.

Nanjun City is slowly rising from the horizon, so he simply keeps silent.

"Enter the southern county town first and ask about the situation before making plans."

"Yes, Master Hou."

When Li Yu led more than 500 horsemen to approach Nanjun City, he saw that Nanjun City had already been under martial law.

"Who's coming?"

There was a sudden sound of inquiry from the city, and Li Yu did not rush to answer, but felt that things might not be as easy as he imagined.

"Blind your dog's eyes, the prince and the lord of Xiangguo are here, and they don't open the door quickly."

Zhao Chong was used to Uncle Xianyang in Kyoto, and he didn't want to rush hundreds of miles to eat a special mother's soup, and his heart was already unhappy, so he raised his head and shouted.

Although it was late, the guards at the head of the city still had some sight.

At present, these soldiers and men are all of the highest rank, and they are definitely not the wandering Lingnan rebels.

The Lingnan Army previously belonged to the Empire, but its armament was ordinary copper plate armor and leather armor, and this wave of men and horses looked more like Xianyang's guards.

Could it be that the big man of Xianyang really visited?

Thinking of this, the guard Chen Pi didn't plan to inform Hu Yu, the county guard of Nanjun, and hurriedly opened the city gate and went out of the city to greet him.

Li Yu and Li Si are famous, but not everyone has seen their true faces.

But as the saying goes, I haven't eaten pork or seen a pig run.

Chen Pi's uncle worked as an errand for the big man in Xianyang City, and Chen Pi took the position of a patrol general.

As for Li Yu, a big man like Li Si naturally heard about it from his uncle.

Especially a person like Li Si who climbs up from the end of the micro has the momentum of a superior person.

Chen Pi just glanced at it, and then felt panic in his heart, and hurriedly lowered his body and arched his hand: "Little Chen Pi has seen two adults. ”

After speaking, he hurriedly asked the men beside him to report to the county guard.

Tangerine peel ......

Li Yu was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at the guard general called Chen Pi, and felt a little happy.

But more, I still wonder that Nanjun, a city across the river, is under martial law.

Li Yu asked with doubts: "Why is martial law imposed in Nanjun?" ”

"My lord doesn't know, some time ago, the imperial army led by the general and the Lingnan rebels fought several battles north of Lingqu and south of Changsha County, and scattered a lot of soldiers, and in any case, the Lingnan army is still the imperial army, which is difficult for us to identify with the naked eye, so the county guard let the small one close the city gate."

This county guard is still alert, but he doesn't know what his true face looks like.

Li Yu nodded, and then asked Zhao Chong to stand by and rest. Only then did he go to the county guard mansion with Li Si.

Halfway through, I saw a thin middle-aged man walking briskly towards him.

"Xiaguan Nanjun County Shou Hu Yu, I have seen Lord Xiangguo, I have seen Lord Junhou."

Chen Pi and these people have never seen Li Si and Li Yu's faces, but Hu Yu is different, and he needs to go to Xianyang City all year round.

Xiangguo Li Si has naturally seen it many times, and Li Yu, the Marquis of the Immortal Monarch, has a special portrait of a person in each county to circulate, so he naturally recognized it at a glance.

At this time, Hu Yuna was nervous, he had never thought that such two big men would suddenly descend on his own acre and three-point land.

Whether he was passing by or came here on purpose, it is impossible to say, Hu Yusui asked tentatively: "I don't know why the two adults came to this small county of rivers." ”

As soon as the words came out, Li Si looked at Li Yu, but Li Yu smiled and said, "Lord County Shou don't need to panic, the two of us are just passing by here and asking you about some things." ”

When Hu Yu heard this, he relieved himself and replied: "My lord, please speak, if the lower officials know, they should know everything." ”

"I wonder how much Master Hu knows about the recent battle situation on the Southern Front?" Li Yu didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.

And when Hu Yu heard this, his heart was suddenly shocked, could it be that the two in front of him were sent by His Majesty the First Emperor to supervise the war?

Yes!

It must have been the unfavorable battle of the imperial army, so the first emperor sent Prime Minister Li Si and the prince Li Yu to the front line.

Thinking of this, Hu Yu already knew the movements of Li Yu and his party, so he said: "If you want to talk about the recent situation on the southern front, it is more accurate for the Changsha County Guard to know, after all, Changsha County has just experienced a big war. ”

It stands to reason that Zhang Han led 200,000 Lishan troops south to quell the rebellion, even if he was defeated by Zhao Tuo's Lingnan army, it should not be far behind.

How do you look at this Nanjun county guard Hu Yu, but he has a worried look.

Just as Li Yu was puzzled, Hu Yu said again: "About five days ago, General Zhang Han ordered someone to inform me to wait for the three counties of Jianghe to pay attention to preventing the Lingnan rebels from seizing the city. ”

"Did you say why?"

"It is said that some of the Lingnan rebels pretended to be the army of the empire and occupied many county towns by fraud, and the three major counties of Qianzhong County, Changsha County, and Nanjun were the primary targets of the Lingnan rebels......"

"I see, no wonder even Nanjun has imposed martial law."

Hearing Hu Yu say this, Li Yu can understand why Nanjun, which is separated by the river, is under martial law.

The Lingnan Army is wearing the armaments of the Empire, which is indeed impossible to distinguish easily, but this should have little to do with Zhang Hanjun.

Li Yu said again: "Then I don't know if Master Hu knows the movements of the army of Zhang Hanqu?" ”

As soon as Li Yu finished speaking, he saw Hu Yu's embarrassed look, obviously not clear.

Li Yu's expression moved, and then he asked again: "Then Lord Hu, do you know where the imperial ships have appeared recently?" ”

"The ships that Master Hou is referring to are those eight black ships?"

Seeing that Hu Yu had seen his eight baby bumps, Li Yu's expression changed, and he asked eagerly, "Where is it?" ”

Hu Yu was taken aback by Li Yu's sudden move, but he knew that the situation was urgent, and hurriedly said: "A few days ago, those eight ships suddenly appeared on the Xiangshui River, and the crisis of Changsha County was solved. ”

Li Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, so he patted his head and said: "That's right, Lujiang to Changsha, take Xiangshui south into the Ling Canal, this is the fastest way to pursue the remnants of Xiang Yu." ”

Thinking of this, Li Yu couldn't wait to slap himself to death.

Naturally, Chen Qingzhi would not be stupid enough to walk with the Vietnamese army of Ji Ying, but this just shows that the situation on the southern front is not optimistic......
