Chapter Forty-Eight: Tobu Storm
After explaining the matter of the county to Yin Zhao, Long Jun and the others set off again. Because the equipment from Qingzhou was not delivered, they who were supposed to land in Beihai could only go to the vicinity of Chengyang to land first.
Along the way, Long Jun sat alone on the bow of the ship and pondered, now because of Feng Yuanyi's relationship, the entire Qingzhou plan has to be overthrown, originally landed in Beihai, if according to the history of the Yellow Turban soldiers around Linzi and Beihai, he can reorganize his troops and horses as quickly as possible to suppress bandits, but Feng Yuanyi left Qingzhou, resulting in the lack of weapons and equipment of the Long family army now, and it is impossible to deal with the future.
After thinking about it, Long Jun found Zhao Yun, Xu Chu, and Ma Chao and the three of them immediately made a decision, the Long family army was divided into zero and sneaked into the Beihai in batches, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Xu Chu, Song Feng, and Zhang Qiang each led three hundred people, and the distance between the front and back was thirty miles, day and night, and slowly marched day and night, until they were stationed near the Yingling,! The rest of the people were led by Long Jun and went to Chengyang to trade with the new wine and silver money as a cover.
As soon as Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, and Xu Chu heard that Long Jun was going to lead the army to Chengyang alone, they all raised doubts, it was nothing more than that Long Jun who went to Chengyang was too dangerous, and the three of them knew what Taiping Dao was doing, especially Ma Chao had no good impression of Taiping Dao after Hongnong found out about it.
Therefore, Ma Chao directly said hatefully, "Master, those people in Taiping Dao have evil intentions, although we need them to help provide weapons and equipment, but no one can be sure whether they are sincere in trading, not to mention that Feng Yuanyi has already left Qingzhou!" ”
Zhao Yun on the side also answered, "Yes, Uncle Shi, Feng Yuanyi left Qingzhou at this time, but he didn't say who we should find to trade, just let us rush to Zhuxian to get equipment, Zhuxian is not far from Dongwu, if the other party has other thoughts, it is really dangerous for you to take such a few people!" ”
Zhao Yun Ma Chao said, of course Long Jun knows, but if the Long family army wants to make a difference, this batch of military equipment must not be given up. With a deep groan, Long Jun sighed, "What you said, of course I know, but we have no way to get this batch of things, if you don't worry about me, then arrange it like this, let's continue to move forward according to the plan in place, but never land near it, find a stronghold there, and go to Zhuxian by myself!" ”
Long Jun's words, don't say that Zhao Yun and Ma Chao couldn't agree, even Xu Chu, who had been silent on the side, hurriedly said at this moment: "How can the lord be in danger alone?" Besides..."
Waving his hand to stop Xu Chu and the others, Long Jun continued, "I left Jizhou alone a year ago, and now although my martial arts are incomparable to my senior brother, they have improved a lot compared to that year. I'm going there myself, so I can run away alone, and if there is danger with me, I'm too worried! In addition, the three of you must not leave the team, don't forget that we came to Qingzhou this time, in addition to that incident, we also have to train troops and promote new wine,! ”
Zhao Yun and the others knew Long Jun's temper very well, and they also knew that it was useless to persuade them, so they could only agree!
Three days later, the three building ships finally sailed into the later Jiaozhou Bay, and Long Jun found the location of Buqi County according to the marks on the map, and ordered Song Feng to find a landing site nearby. It took two hours, and Song Feng finally found a small harbor that had been abandoned for a long time, just enough to put down three building ships!
Traveling to the elbow, getting off the boat, Ryoma, who had been on the boat for a month, and two tiger cubs immediately had fun, and even Xu Chu and others were interested, and rode horses around the harbor.
Others relaxed, Long Jun didn't dare, and arranged for someone to check if there were any villages nearby, and the news that he came back late was that there was no one in a radius of thirty miles. It is about fifty miles away from the county seat.
Zhao Yun, who was still directing everyone to build a camp, heard that there was no one here, so he suggested to Long Jun: "Uncle Shi, I think this location is completely suitable for us to build a stronghold, but over there, as long as we send someone to communicate with the government." ”
Long Jun also felt that Zhao Yun's suggestion was okay, now that he was under-equipped and could not enter the Beihai, if he did not use it as a base to radiate the two counties of Donglai and Chengyang, if there was any danger at that time, he could immediately evacuate Qingzhou with a building boat.
"Zilong, you go and call Meng Qi, Zhong Kang, Song Feng and the others over!"
"Whoa!"
After everyone came to the main account, Long Jun told everyone Zhao Yun's suggestion, and Ma Chao and others felt that it was feasible.
After getting everyone's affirmation, Long Jun continued, "Since everyone thinks Zilong's suggestion is good, then you can go back and arrange it later, but before Meng Qi, you still need to disguise Jiang Gongzi to go to the government to say hello, Zilong, you rushed back to the county with two hundred people, Yin Zhao should not have left where at this time, you tell him, and then order him to buy a few building ships, so that Guangling can be contacted by three places, and Zhongkang Song Feng will supervise the construction of the camp!" ”
"Whoa!"
After explaining everyone's tasks, Long Jun planned to get up, and everyone knew Long Jun's eagerness, but it was late, and it was inconvenient to walk at night, not to mention that they were not familiar with Qingzhou at this time. Everyone spoke out again to dissuade him, and Long Jun had no choice but to agree.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, Long Jun set off directly for Zhuxian after breakfast, and at this time he didn't know that Dongwu had already been in chaos because of the 10,000 weapons and equipment.
The matter went back to three days ago, Dongwu, the place where the Chengyang County Government was located, at this time, the Taishou Mansion had already become a pot of porridge, and the three major governors of Chengyang, including Zhou Zhao, the county lieutenant of Taishou Tianyun, and Changshi, were all sitting in the front hall with their brows locked, especially Zhou Zhao's face was still dripping with cold sweat.
Tian Yun is in his thirties, dressed as a Confucian scholar, with a Chinese face and a medium stature, only a pair of clear eyes reveal that this person is not simple.
As Taishou Tian Yun knew that this matter actually had nothing to do with Zhou Zhao, when these equipment were lost, Zhou Zhao was reporting on his work in Linzi, but as a county lieutenant, he always couldn't escape the blame, so he said in a deep voice, "Zhou Junwei, the matter has happened, and now Bing Cao has not yet learned about it, Fei Changshi and I can help you suppress it, but you must understand that if you can't find these 10,000 weapons and equipment, you and I will have a big disaster until the beginning of June." ”
When Zhou Zhao heard that Tian Yun was willing to help him suppress this matter first, he immediately got up and thanked him, and promised, "Tian Taishou, don't worry!" Zhou will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly. ”
After making a guarantee to Tian Yun and saying hello to Fei Changshi, he immediately left the Taishou Mansion to go to the munitions depot to check the previous account books, he was convinced that the beginning of everything was the munitions depot, as long as he found out who was on duty on the night of the incident.
Looking at Zhou Zhao, who had left the Taishou Mansion, Fei De, who had not spoken out, said darkly, "You know who did this, why do you want Zhou Zhao to investigate?" If he really finds out something, how can you and I explain to Feng Yuanyi? ”
Tian Yun, who was still worried, had already become calm and clear at this moment, glanced at Fei De with a sneer, and said coldly, "Explain to Feng Yuanyi?" What is there to explain to him? With 10,000 weapons and equipment, what does Taiping Dao want to do? Do you know Fei Changshi? ”
Fei De still looked at Tian Yun with a sneer on his face and didn't speak, of course Tian Yun knew what Fei De meant, but he still continued: "Fei Changshi, if you and I can't reach an agreement, then in the future, the matter of Taiping Dao will break out, and you and I may have to jump into the west hand in hand!" ”
"Hahaha.... My Taishou-sama, do you really think I'm stupid? Without your approval, how would the sergeant patrolling the city at night be allowed to go? If you don't know about this, can I still do it? ”
"What if I told you that I really don't know about it?"
Hearing that Tian Yun didn't know about this, Fei De no longer had the sneer he had before, and instead had a solemn face. With a skeptical tone, he asked out loud, "Lord Taishou didn't deceive the lower officials, did he?" ”
Fei De's attitude made Tian Yun also full of cold sweat, and he thought that Fei De had made another deal with that side at first, so he asked. However, Feder didn't know about this, so there was only one possibility, that is, there were still people in Tobu who were trading with Taiheido.
Frightened, Tian Yun's eyes were closed tightly, and he said in a trembling voice, "Fei Changshi, at this moment, you and I have to be careful of Zhou Zhao!" If Taiping Dao really wants to rebel, you and I will bear the brunt! ”
Of course, Fei De understood what Tian Yun's words meant, only the three of them had the ability to mobilize night patrols in Tobu City, if it was really Zhou Zhao, then what was Taiping Dao plotting? Bought the lieutenant of Chengyang County and transported 10,000 military weapons.
"It seems that we have to prepare early, if there is really a problem with Zhou Zhao, then he will definitely not find any news about the 10,000 armaments."
"That's right, I'm going to write a secret letter to Tian Thorn Shi."
The Taishou Mansion was cloudy, and so was the munitions warehouse, and Zhou Zhao, who came here, knew that if he couldn't find any clues, then Tian Yun and the others would definitely push this matter to him.
Looking at the empty warehouse of No. 1, Zhou Zhao's face was solemn and could sink into the water, and he muttered to himself, "Who can make such a big case..."
"Report!"
The voice of the guard who went to check pulled back Zhou Zhao's thoughts, and he immediately asked out loud, "What did you find?" ”
"Returning to Lord Lieutenant, the officer on duty that night was really a brother of the eighth team of the third battalion, but..."
"But what?"
"But all fifty of these brothers are gone..."
"What's missing? What about Zhao Chong, a bastard? Why don't you report to me in advance! As soon as he heard that the fifty soldiers had disappeared, Zhou Zhao was already going crazy, his eyes were red, and the team of fifty people on duty had all disappeared, and Zhao Chong did not report anything.
Hearing the lieutenant's shouts, the guard was terrified. But out of responsibility, he still replied in a trembling voice: "Lord Zhao Chong just got the news that 10,000 military quarters were lost, and he has committed suicide in the camp...."
Hearing the news of Zhao Chong's suicide, Zhou Zhao's body trembled, took two steps back, and the guards on the side hurriedly supported the unlucky county lieutenant.
Touching his forehead, Zhou Zhao accepted his fate, these people do things like no leaks, he knows what Zhao Chong is, he is conscientious, responsible and responsible, Zhao Chong was promoted because this person fought bravely in the process of suppressing bandits, so he promoted this person to be the third battalion general.
"The sky is going to die, I Zhou Zhao...."
At the same time, in the deserted Qijia village outside the county seats, forty or fifty Taiping Daoists gathered, wearing yellow scarves and discussing around the forty or so carriages.
A man who seemed to be the commander said in a deep voice, "Zhou Zhao returned from the Dongwu side yesterday, I just got the news, Tian Yun, Fei De, and Zhou Zhao have discovered this matter, and we have to be prepared, although Feng Qushuai told us to keep this batch of things and wait for Xuzhou to trade them, but if we still guard this batch of things at this moment, it will be our death date when we are found." ”
"What then?"
"Bury it on the spot, leave five people with me and wait for the Xuzhou trader to come over, and the rest of the people will immediately evacuate the counties in empty cars and rush back to Beihai."
"Whoa!"
The Yellow Turban soldiers, who received the order, immediately moved the weapons on the carriage to the village, while the rest of the people packed up the empty carts and dispersed.
After a day, with the strength of Ryoma's feet, Long Jun finally arrived at Tobu, but at this time, Tobu was already in a mess, and Long Jun, who didn't want to get involved in trouble, finished his meal hastily in the city, and continued to hurry, and finally entered the counties before the sun set.
As soon as he arrived in the counties, according to the position given by Feng Yuanyi, he found the commander. After exchanging code words to each other, the Yellow Turban soldiers led him out of the city overnight to Qijia Village.
On the way, the Yellow Turban soldiers asked Long Jun where the money he was carrying, and Long Jun said that he would see the equipment first. The Yellow Turban Soldier just smiled coldly at this, and didn't say anything against it, anyway, in his eyes, Long Jun is a young man, how much wind and waves can he stir up!
As soon as he entered the entrance of the village, Long Jun found two people squatting on a nearby tree. Shaking his head and smiling slightly, Long Jun felt that this group of people was quite interesting, and he also knew how to arrange a secret whistle.
Following this person, Long Jun finally saw the weapons and equipment he had been thinking about day and night, gasped, and said to the Yellow Turban Soldier Zhengse, "You can't transport this batch of things with me, where will I give you money!" ”
As soon as they heard that they could only give money if they could transport it, the Yellow Turban soldiers glared at Long Jun angrily, and the leader said angrily, "Stinky boy, don't go too far, Lord Qu Shuai only told me to trade here, if you don't want to trade, then these things have nothing to do with you, and we will never take the risk of delivering goods to you!" ”
"Taking a risk?" According to the strength of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, they are still at risk?
"Tobu already knows about the loss of this batch of weapons and equipment! If we carry such a batch of things in Chengyang County, we will be in a different place in less than two days! Otherwise, we wouldn't have left just six people to guard this batch! ”
The words of the Yellow Turban Soldiers made Long Jun's eyes light up, he was fully capable of destroying them with six people, anyway, he would be hostile to this group of Yellow Turban soldiers in the future, what is the difference between killing them now and killing them in the future.
In an instant, Long Jun had already made a decision, reached out and took out the short sword on his waist, and the three people in front of him were all covering their necks, looking at Long Jun with a frightened face, and the three people next to him saw Long Jun violently killing people and daring to take out their weapons, so they saw Long Jun's short sword swept across their necks again with a backhand!
After killing six people with two swords, Long Jun's face remained unchanged, and he snorted coldly, "Don't blame me, blame you for exposing your strength!" ”
After making sure that no one else existed, Long Jun made a note of the room where the weapons were stored and rushed back to Zhuxian overnight.
