When Zhang Jue and Zhao Dongting came out of the guest room, a carrier pigeon flew up from Jingzhou and headed for Jingjiang Mansion, the main mansion on Guangnan West Road.

In this era, communication was inconvenient, Zhao Dongting firmly held the control of the army in his hands, and the army of the whole country only recognized the generalissimo Tiger Fu with the same status as the jade seal.

Without the order of the generalissimo that he personally printed the seal, the military commanders of all roads and states would have been extremely limited in the number of troops that could be mobilized.

As far as the pacification of various parties is concerned, it is already the limit to be able to mobilize half of the military horses in the territory. If it exceeds the slightest, it will be overstepped and will be reviewed by the Garrison Department of the Criminal Department.

Although this was quite inconvenient, it was also a helpless move to prevent the army from mutiny in the Great Song Dynasty. It's just that I didn't think about it, and in the end, I couldn't stop Zhao Hao's rebellion.

It was only in the evening of this night that the carrier pigeon landed in the Jingjiang Mansion to pacify the yamen.

Liu Hongyi, who was cut for the Dongsha Islands, naturally returned at this time.

When the soldier reported the secret letter to him, he was still eating with his wife He Huixiang and Hu'er in the backyard of the yamen.

Hu'er has now grown into a childlike child with a tiger's head and a tiger's brain, and he is quite naughty in plain life.

As soon as the soldier reported that a secret letter had arrived, he pretended to say, "Quickly present it to the general." ”

This made Liu Hongyi's chopsticks fall on his head immediately.

He Huixiang couldn't cry or laugh.

Hu'er rubbed his head and bared his teeth.

The soldier pretended not to see it.

Liu Hongyi got up, went to the soldier to take the secret letter, opened it, and showed extreme surprise in his eyes.

If King Guang wants to rebel, I order you to immediately order the defenders of Yongzhou counties to go to Luodian and Zhang Jue's deputy military order to meet and hold a military exercise.

Of course, Liu Hongyi was not surprised.

Yongzhou is in the territory of Guangnan West Road, although Zhao Hao, the king of Guang, is governing, but Zhao Hao wants to rebel, but he is not even aware of it, the pacification envoy of Guangnan West Road.

This is more or less, and it can also be said that Liu Hongyi is derelict in his duties.

So he was surprised and then came out with a little anger on his face, and said to the soldier, "You are waiting here." ”

Then he didn't even bother to eat, and hurried to the study.

When he came out again, he had several sealed letters in his hand.

He handed them to the soldier and said, "Deliver them at once." ”

There are five copies of the letters, with words on the envelope, which are Yongning County, Xuanhua County, Wuyuan County, and Liangjiang Province on the left and right.

There are many ethnic minorities in Yongzhou, the territory is vast, and the situation is quite complicated. In addition to the two counties of Xuanhua and Wuyuan, which were recognized by the Song Dynasty, and Yongning County, the county seat, the left and right rivers were ruled by the left and right rivers respectively.

The imperial court did not have so much energy to govern these ethnic minority villages, and was unwilling to close the county, so it simply set aside Zuojiang Road and Youjiang Road to coordinate governance.

Not surprisingly, there were definitely more defenders in these two rivers than in Xuanhua and Wuyuan counties, and even much more than the Yongning army in Yongning County.

Since the implementation of the new policy in the Great Song Dynasty, the garrison of the main government of each country is no more than 2,000. And a county town like Yongning County has only 1,500 establishments.

However, there is a custom of raising private soldiers in the villages on the left and right rivers, so it is impossible to have only this number of people.

They are probably also the ones that Zhao Hao dared to rebel on.

Soon, dozens of Liu Hongyi's personal soldiers went out of Shi'an County, to the southwest, in the direction of Yongzhou. In addition to carrying five letters written by Liu Hongyi, he also carried Zhao Dongting's letter with the generalissimo's seal. Without his letter, even with Liu Hongyi's position, he would not have the right to mobilize all the soldiers and horses in Yongzhou.

After all, the pacification envoy only has the power to mobilize half of the military horses in each county, and Yongzhou is Zhao Yu's fiefdom, and in this place, Liu Hongyi's military orders are even less effective.

When Liu Hongyi returned to the table, He Huixiang saw her husband's solemn expression, and couldn't help but ask, "What happened?" ”

Liu Hongyi just shook his head slightly.

He also predicted how much of a stir the rebellion of King Guang would cause in the imperial court, and the fewer people who knew about it before it was pacified, the better.

When He Huixiang saw him like this, she didn't ask any more.

By the next day.

It's just a matter of getting dark.

The fog was very thick and white, as if it enveloped the whole world.

Such mornings are much quieter than normal mornings. The thick fog always feels mysterious, as if there might be a giant beast rushing out of it.

And it was under such circumstances that the Flying Army and the Heavenly Machine Army guarding Jingzhou had already assembled outside the city and were ready to go.

The deputy military machine ordered Zhang Jue to hang a sword from his waist and stand in front of the army.

And Zhao Dongting, Hong Wutian and the others just dressed up as city soldiers, wearing armor, and immediately followed him.

Knowing that the emperor was in person, for the time being, there were only a few people such as Zhang Jue, Zhang Hongwei, the commander of the Tianxian Army, and Ren Wei, the commander of the Flying Army.

In the name of sending troops, it is just a military exercise.

"Let's go!"

After Zhang Jue drew his sword and waved his hand and roared, a total of 20,000 troops from Feitian and Tianxian marched away from Jingzhou and went to Luodian.

In the middle of the military array that winds like a snake, there are 600 new grain carts invented by Zhao Dongting.

After the grain truck, shallow traces were left on the official roads that were not wet.

At the same time, in the four forts of Shijia, Lingxi, Guanbao, and Dayou, there were also large armies heading towards Luodian. There were hundreds of grain trucks in each army.

The Tianmeng Army of Shijiabao, the Tianwei Army of Lingxi Fort, the Tiangui Army of Guanbao Fort, and the Tiangu Army of Dayou Fort were all close to pouring out, and only a few hundred soldiers were left in the fort to guard.

This is already the entire military strength of Zhang Jue's Zhennan Military Region.

In terms of the number of forbidden troops alone, the Song Dynasty is undoubtedly much worse than the Yuan Dynasty, which has more than one million troops. It's even a few cuts worse than Dali.

For the next ten days, Zhao Dongting only followed the army and turned into a personal soldier who guarded Zhang Jue's tent.

Liu Hongyi's letter finally arrived in Deyongzhou.

The defenders of Yongning County and the Xuanhua Army set off from the Yongning Army on the same day and headed towards Luodian.

However, the defenders of Wuyuan and the left and right rivers did not see the slightest movement.

During this time, Zhao Yu and Chen Yizhong seemed to be really close to controlling the entire Yongzhou in their hands.

Just when Zhang Jue led the troops to the deep mountains of Luodian and began to camp in the deep mountains, the envoy of the military division of Zuojiang Province personally went to Hengshan Village.

Hengshanzhai is located in Zuojiang Province, and it is obvious that this Zuojiang Province military envoy has been completely bought or controlled by Zhao Yu.

As soon as he arrived outside the Guangwang Mansion to report, the envoy of the festival was immediately received by Zhao Yu.

He hurriedly walked into the palace, saw Zhao Yu in the main hall, and after kneeling on the ground, he said: "Your Highness, there is Liu Hongyi's personal soldiers to the Zuojiang Provincial Military Division to pass the decree. ”

"Herald?"

Zhao Yu asked with a little surprise: "What is the purpose?" ”

His face was a little ugly.

Zhao Dongting skipped him and directly asked Liu Hongyi to pass on the edict to Yongzhou, obviously he already had plans to send troops soon. This is to take back Yongzhou by force.

The middle-aged envoy named Xiao Zhenghao said: "I ordered all the defenders of the Zuojiang Provincial Military Division to go to Luodian for a military exercise. ”

"Military exercises......

Zhao Hao narrowed his eyes slightly and groaned.

Then he sneered twice and said, "My brother still likes to play such tricks!" Now where is the pro-soldier who gave the message? ”

"I have been detained in the military department by the last general, waiting for His Highness to be dropped." Xiao Zhenghao replied.

"Good!"

When Zhao Yu heard this, a cold light instantly appeared in his eyes, and he said, "Just behead these personal soldiers and sacrifice the flag for my army." ”

Xiao Zhenghao hesitated a little, "Your Highness, isn't this a reason to send troops to Yongzhou to the emperor?" ”

"Huh!"

Zhao Hao sneered, "Now there is no reason, where is it so important." Not surprisingly, before they rushed to your Zuojiang Provincial Military Division, they had already passed to Yongzhou, Xuanhua, Youjiang Provincial and other military divisions to deliver the decree. ”

"Huh."

Speaking of this, Zhao Hao sighed softly again, "Don't kill them, let them go back." ”

Xiao Zhenghao was puzzled.

Zhao Hao said again: "The defenders in Yongzhou and Xuanhua have not yet surrendered to this king, and after they receive the order, they will definitely go to Luodian." And before they rushed to Luodian, my elder brother should not have sent troops to invade Yongzhou, so that this king would still have time to buy those village owners and patriarchs who couldn't be fed! If you can get their help, hmph, even if Dali doesn't send troops to help, this king has the confidence to compete with this brother. ”

Those ethnic minorities in Yongzhou are accustomed to self-government, and although Zhao Yu has been in Yongzhou for some years, he obviously has not been able to convince those ethnic minorities to be happy with him.

He now just wants to stall for time and win the allegiance of more domestic powers.

Now that he has decided to rebel, he obviously won't care about how these minority patriarchs are talking loudly.
