Minjiang River water Hao Hao soup, from the upper reaches of Jianzhou is the streams from the Bimo Mountain, Wuyi Mountain and other mountains to flow down, after Jianzhou is in the dense forest, valley, hills, plain area all the way to the Fuzhou Plain, from the Fuzhou city not far from the sea.

This river, the downstream is gentle, the river surface is wide, the river basin is more than 400 miles, the upstream is very short, the water flow is turbulent, the downstream is quite gentle, occasionally there will be floods, but the river water not only moistens a large number of farmland and land, it is also of great help to shipping, the towns and villages on both sides of the river, quite rich, is the proof.

A large number of people along the river, belonging to Jianzhou and Shaowu Army, Xinghua Army, Fuzhou, Zhangzhou and many other military states, this river is the largest fresh water resource of Fujian Road, but also nourishes the Fuzhou Plain, is the greatest wealth of Fujian Road with quite poor natural conditions, how many people rely on this river to live.

If you overlook from a high place, the whole north, west, and east of Fuzhou are all high mountains, and there are only a few plains, and the Fuzhou Plain is not worth mentioning in the Jianghuai area, it is a very small plain area, and there are only a few small hills in the territory.

Out of Fuzhou, less than 100 miles away is Jianyang, and then to Jianzhou, most of them are all mountains.

In the north, it is the Wuyi Mountains, stretching for thousands of miles, and Quzhou in Zhejiang, Fuzhou in Jiangxi, Qianzhou and other places are all located in the mountains.

November 13 is the auspicious day set by the king of Zhao to send troops, in the morning of that day, a large number of Xiang troops first marched along the Minjiang River, after the autumn weather is dry and rainy, tens of thousands of people marched along the official roads and villages in turn, the smoke and dust rose heavily, and the movement of the army could be seen across dozens of miles.

The officials, gentry, and merchants in the city all went to the city gate and outside the city to see them off, and the king of Zhao personally issued military orders outside the city, and many generals of the Xiang army knelt down to lead the army, and then the military flag was unfurled and marched forward.

The marching speed of the Xiang army was extremely slow, and in the afternoon, when more than 10,000 forbidden troops left the city, they could still see that the tail of the Xiang army was not far ahead.

When the forbidden army left the city, at least more than 100,000 people went out to see the excitement, many people looked calm, and some women burned incense in their palms, wishing the army a smooth expedition...... No matter how bad the year is and how heavy the taxes are, the government is an official government after all, and a thief is a thief after all.

Even if Li Kaiming did not kill in Jianzhou, the situation in Jianzhou slowly spread, this bandit leader called himself the generalissimo, established power in Jianzhou, collected taxes, pacified public order, and trained soldiers and horses, the more this is the case, the officials and gentry on the Fuzhou side will be uncomfortable.

Rogue and pirate are completely different, pirates are just a pawn and leave, and will never be king. In addition to the great destructive power, there are some ambitious ones, who call themselves kings and commanders, and play banners, intending to seize the Great Wei Dynasty.

This is the pattern of life and death, once a big war is really formed, the war and disaster are linked, I am afraid that everyone will have to worry about their lives.

In the afternoon, all the forbidden troops left the city, and more than 10,000 people opened up one after another, and after they were set up, a mile-long procession was formed.

The military flag of the forbidden army holding the Japanese army is the rising sun above the sea, with a golden light, and there is an awe-inspiring and inviolable majesty. In terms of military flags alone, the military flag of the Japanese army is quite beautiful, the tall and burly standard-bearer strides in the front, the forbidden army of the five armies walks behind them in full armor, standing like a forest, and there are quite a lot of shields holding shields, and the waist is hanging with a large horizontal sword.

In addition, there are a large number of god arm bows and foot bow archers, including the forbidden army, there are 20 warriors, 10 sword players, and the remaining 70 people are all archers and crossbowmen.

As soon as the battle began, ten thousand crossbows were fired in unison, and arrows rained down, making it impossible to resist at all.

As soon as the forbidden army came out, the people's hearts were a little calm, and after an hour out of the city, many forbidden troops took off their armor, handed over their leather armor or cotton armor, and iron armor to the people on the side of the river to carry on the boat, and there were more than 300 large and small ships on the river, carrying grain, and also carrying military supplies such as armor and arrows for the soldiers.

Around dusk, a procession of thousands of people was driven, pulling the boats with long ropes, and tracing up the river with the ban on the brigade.

The slender men were silent, expectant

This time the battle will not be too fierce, and it will not be too long.

They were naked, and their lower pants were also tattered, and because of the force required to pull the soles of their feet, most of them were directly barefoot, tying their shoes and clothes around their waists.

Each of them was pulling the rope, and the taut rope straightened their backs, and red marks appeared on each one, and after a few days, their backs were covered with deep wounds as if they had been whipped.

The shouts came and went, some of the little officials in green robes managed these slender men, and there were forbidden troops on horseback who would put the long man on horseback, and if the slender man was dissatisfied, shouting, making noise, and there was any sign of wanting to mutiny, these forbidden troops would ride their horses forward, and warn them with the long guard, and if they were excessive, they could directly kill them with the long guard.

The slender men knew that in spite of the strong currents and the weight of the boats, they did their best to bend down, bend over, and pull the sailboat full of all kinds of supplies forward.

"The army is finally on its way." Yang Shiwei and Zheng Liqi were both watching the army leave from the tower of the East Gate. From the smoke and dust when the box army left in the morning to the high morale of the forbidden army when it started, the two red-robed officers didn't care too much...... The combat effectiveness of the forbidden army or the box army is obvious, and there is no need to pay more attention to it at all.

After Yang Shiwei sighed, he then said: "Brother Zheng should pay more attention to the robbery cases and robberies in the vicinity, and the Xiang army is causing trouble in dozens of nearby villages for a while, and the next thing is to suppress the place and stabilize the people's hearts." ”

The wrinkles on Yang Shiwei's face seemed to be a little deeper.

"It still depends on whether the forbidden army can defeat Li Kaiming." Zheng Liqi said: "Now it's up to King Zhao's father and son." ”

Under the city gate, under the noses of many officials, King Zhao and Xu Ziwei, who were riding tall horses, went out of the city near dusk, and their big tent was set up next to Liu Guangsi's camp, and servants had been sent to build it, King Zhao's big tent was extremely large and gorgeous, and it took time to build, and King Zhao was not in a hurry to go out of the city with the army.

This is the last team to go out of the city, all of them are composed of King Zhao's guards and private soldiers, three hundred cavalry, elite cavalry wearing iron armor, cotton armor and leather armor swarming out of the city gate hole, many people saw the proud Xu Ziwei riding his horse forward, the horse whip held in his hand and gently shaken, if it were not for the double insertion on both sides of the horse's back, plus the big horizontal knife and the long sword, Xu Ziwei was like a gentleman who went out of the city, and there was no sense of urgency to go into battle at all.

King Zhao is full of ambition, he has some old state, which is quite obvious. More than a year ago, King Zhao was well maintained, about fifty years old, he looked like he was in his thirties, his skin was tight, his hair was black, his body was moderate, and he felt vigorous and powerful when he walked.

Even now, King Zhao is in high spirits, but he is already old, his temples are white, and his waist is a little rickety.

It can be seen that the development of events in Fuzhou in the past year or so has puzzled King Zhao, and the pressure brought by this has made this prince obviously enter old age.

Surrounded by the private guards of the palace, and also under the farewell of some officials, before the city gate was closed, King Zhao and his party finally left the city in a hurry.

"It would be nice if the two kings of Fuzhou worked together." As the sun set, Yang Shiwei didn't feel emotional, and then seeing the mockery on Zheng Liqi's face, Yang Shiwei himself laughed.

This is obviously impossible, even if the king of Zhongshan, Xu Zixian, is willing to give in, it is impossible for the king of Zhao to trust, and the two kings cooperate to suppress the thief, this is simply impossible.

"It's also a good thing that King Zhongshan withdrew decisively." Yang Shiwei said: "Otherwise, the two kings will fight each other and fight with each other, which will also be a disaster for Fujian Road." Although the power is now in the hands of King Zhao, Fujian Road can at least keep the peace. ”

Zheng Liqi smiled coldly. He didn't put half of his hope on King Zhao's father and son, and when he saw King Zhao riding out of the city, some officials and people still couldn't help but pray and cheer, but Zheng Liqi had a look of disgust and immediately turned his face away.

……

"There are more than 70,000 people in the Xiang army and more than 10,000 people in the forbidden army, which is very different from our estimate before."

The officers and soldiers came to suppress strongly, but Liu Maoqi looked relaxed, and after finishing speaking, he took a water ladle from the jar in the corner of the house and drank water in a big gulp.

Li Kaiming looked at his right-hand man with a smile on his face.

Luo Zhenbang, Zhang Fangliang, Li Kaiyou, Yuan Fudi and others, or infantry or cavalry generals, are Li Kaiming's most trusted generals.

"We do not retreat to Jian'an, but outside Jianyang County, with our backs to the mountains, the source stream of the Minjiang River on the left, the plain on the right, and the county town behind us. Li Kaiming said to everyone: "I don't blindly believe in the art of war, I just have to adapt measures to local conditions and move according to the times." Our army was newly established, and the training was less than two months, and the officers and men were not strong-willed, and ninety percent of the recruits had never seen blood, and their weapons were not good. We only have the old battalion soldiers, and there are more than 10,000 mining soldiers who are qualified soldiers and horses, and more than 10,000 people are lined up on the gentle slope behind the fence, which is for the north camp, and the south camp is in the south of the Minjiang River, the county seat, and there are more than 80,000 people. The whole army of nearly 100,000 people, with many flags and drums and trumpets, greeted the enemy with a condescending posture. In this battle, there is no advance or retreat, and there must be no intention of retreating under any circumstances. Let me tell you the truth, if we win this battle, we have to build a state, send elite troops to seize Shaowu's army, at least half of the land, and then take Fuzhou, Qianzhou, and Quzhou, and by the end of the year, we can occupy four or five military prefectures, dozens of counties, millions of people, and expand the military army to 200,000 or even 300,000 people. Fujian Road is the place with the most forbidden troops, as soon as they lose, Zhejiang Road, Jiangxi Road, Jinghu South Road, we can all grab the territory, we have to wait for the beginning of next summer, at least half a year later, from Jiangling and Hongzhou to transfer more than a dozen forbidden troops, more than 100,000 Xiang troops, but then we will have at least 300,000 troops, and 30,000 elite soldiers, enough to fight with the officers and soldiers who come to crusade again......"

Everyone looked a little excited, and a few generals raised their heads slightly, their eyes looking at the roof...... Of course, there was nothing to be seen except for the roof with beams and straw.

The future depicted by Li Kaiming is so beautiful!

"Do you have any objections?" Li Kaiming looked around left and right, all the people present were right-hand men, confidants, and before Li Kaiming decided to make a decision, he would ask everyone for advice, so that everyone could speak freely.

But after the plan is decided, it can only be followed, and anyone who dares to go wrong will be punished with the most severe punishment.

"Nope."

"The big shopkeeper and the second cabinet have a good plan." Luo Zhenbang said: "Let's wait for the officers and soldiers to come to the door." ”

"Do it." Liu Maoqi clenched his fist, his thick fist made a crackling sound, he laughed fiercely, and said: "After eleven years, hidden for several years, our Lao Tzu's knife has not drunk blood for a long time. ”

"This is going to kill you." Li Kaiming pressed the slap on the shoulder of the general's deputy and said, "Luo Xiaozi's detailed work has been clarified, and King Zhao also gathered a few hundred iron horses, saying that he wanted to kick the battalion with horses." I'll gather a thousand cavalry, let you use it well, give them a head-on blow first!" Xu Zixian, the king of Zhongshan, defeated tens of thousands of pirates with thousands of people, that is, if you use the cavalry well, you must use our family funds in the most critical place! ”

"Medium, the big palm rest assured." Liu Maoqi's eyes faintly revealed blood, this is a tiger-like general, has experienced thousands of battles, exercised a killing skill, entered the door of martial arts early, and is about thirty years old, strength, energy, physical fitness, and skills, all of which are at the peak of the period! Li Kaiming prepared a thousand cavalry for Liu Maoqi, except for a few newcomers, most of the cavalry were old battalions that followed for about ten years, and many of the cavalry were released directly as small leaders with hundreds or thousands of people, and some were even qualified to lead thousands of people, which can be called generals.

"If you work hard, you will win!" Li Kaiming suddenly felt very confident, which made him feel very good, as if there was an omen, like the blue sky in the early morning, the soothing white clouds, and the sun that had just risen, the light was not so hot, and even comfortable...... That's how he feels now!
