Chapter 131: Aid or Not
Chubei Temple camp.
Huo Bao looked at Monk Feng opposite, and inexplicably felt familiar.
This sea green, this bracelet, this expression......
Huo Bao looked at the owner of the horse village, and sure enough, he saw that the owner of the horse village also smiled and looked at Monk Feng's luck.
That's right!
The appearance of the reincarnation of such a true Buddha is similar to Xue Biao.
It's just that Xue Biao is a fake, pretending to be a ghost, with a bit of artificiality.
The person in front of him is kind and kind-eyed, but he seems to be the reincarnation of a real Buddha, with his own aura.
From the inside out, there is a bit of Buddha nature.
Whether it is a true Buddha or a false Buddha, only one retinue will be sent to the Chuzhou camp, this is courage and bearing.
"General Ma, Huo Xiaoshuai......"
Monk Feng was really an ordinary guest, gentle and polite: "Wanderers, come to disturb ......"
The owner of the horse village was a little solemn: "Marshal Feng, don't be polite, it's all fate, isn't it just catching up with ......"
Huo Bao sat under the head of the master of the horse village, very well-behaved and nephew, and did not intervene.
Monk Feng said earnestly: "The people in Bozhou City are not evenly matched, if there is no foreign aid, I am afraid that Bozhou City will not be able to defend it for long...... The Shandong army was brutal, and slaughtered Xuzhou before, if the city is broken, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the city are in danger! I want to visit Marshal Huo to ask for reinforcements, and I also ask General Ma to make a gift on my behalf! ”
The master of the horse village frowned, looked at Monk Feng, and said with a somewhat complicated gaze: "The military situation in Bozhou is really important...... It's just that our Marshal Huo is not in the state capital now, and has gone to Binjiang...... Before leaving, he said that he wanted to go to Changzhou, but he didn't know that he didn't have a ...... to cross the river."
80,000 imperial court soldiers and horses are here, why do the Chuzhou army have to wade through this troubled water?
Hundreds of miles, running to the rescue, do you have that kind of friendship?
Monk Feng's eyes showed a little disappointment.
Seeing this, the owner of the horse village said embarrassedly: "Why don't you go to Lingshui for help first, and I will also ask someone here to send us a letter to Huo Shuai?" ”
Monk Feng said: "The six thousand soldiers I brought are tired from traveling far away, and the grain and grass are cut off, can you allow me to rest in Chuzhou for a ...... or two?"
“……”
There was silence in the room.
After a while, the owner of the horse village sighed, and said with a little helplessness: "Marshal Feng, you are not an outsider, and the old horse will not hide it from you...... Chuzhou has suffered from severe drought for many years, the grain harvest is poor, the people are barely able to make ends meet, they cannot collect tax grain at all, and there is no grain storage in the local area...... The rations of our Chuzhou army were all supplied by selling grain from Jinling...... The price of grain in Jinling has risen to 150 yuan for doumi, and the price of new grain has dropped slightly, and it is also 120 yuan for doumi......"
Monk Feng showed compassion on his face: "Six thousand soldiers, without food for two days...... If there is no solution, I am afraid that the camp will collapse......"
The owner of the horse village had a coldness on his face.
Is this a threat?
Collapse the camp without food? Scourge of Yongyang?
The master of the horse village looked at Monk Feng and did not speak.
Huo Bao also understood, and looked at Monk Feng and became vigilant.
Monk Feng lowered his eyelids and sighed: "There is really no other way, and I also ask General Ma to give Marshal Huo, Feng wants to take these 6,000 people and join Marshal Huo!" ”
The owner of the horse village was almost so frightened that he wanted to jump.
Huo Bao squinted, and his heart was uncertain.
The master of the horse village said: "Marshal Feng has thought about it, you are also a hero, Bozhou may not be able to keep it, do you really want to vote for me Chuzhou and be subservient?" ”
Monk Feng sighed: "I took everyone south, I just escaped with my life, and I can still watch them starve to death?" ”
The owner of the horse village was puzzled: "Why is it here? This place can be reached from Lingshui in one day, that is, to the northeast, and it is less than 100 miles away from Xuyi County, Chuzhou......"
"Chuzhou is still under the rule of the imperial court, adjacent to Bozhou and Yangzhou, the Bozhou army is pressing, Yangzhou is already stationed in the garrison, and it is inevitable that the enemy will be attacked when entering Chuzhou...... On the Lingshui side, General Han has been transporting grain from Bozhou since June......"
“……”
So is it still for a ration?
Is this Laiding Chuzhou?
If you don't borrow grain, you will vote for Chuzhou?
Can it be fed?
The owner of the horse village looked at Huo Bao.
Both the uncle and nephew had a decision in their eyes.
Whether it is a real defection or a fake defection, take the initiative to send it to your mouth, there is no reason not to eat.
The master of the horse village immediately got up and said: "This is a big deal, the old horse doesn't dare to make a decision, and I also ask Marshal Feng to go to Binjiang in person, see my brother, and discuss this important matter!" ”
Monk Feng got up and bowed: "Trouble General Ma to arrange!" ”
"Then Feng Shuai's men?"
"You can tell my junior brother to go back and spread the word and restrain it on the spot!"
"Then I have 2,000 new soldiers in the Chuzhou army?"
"Before I came out, I had already left a message for my junior brother to release him, and it should be around noon."
"Haha! Feng Shuai is arrogant, and my old horse is not a stingy person. This called for a few more cartloads of grain to be prepared for General Silver to bring back. ”
All of a sudden, it was a happy appearance.
Without waiting for the owner of the horse village to arrange manpower, Zhu Qiang had already come back to deliver the letter.
The Bozhou army released people, and everyone has already come to the Chubei Temple station, and they can arrive before noon.
Huo Bao is not worried in his heart.
Not well-informed, really in a hurry.
Doesn't it mean that since the rebellion of the child sect leader, the whiteshirts from all over the country have responded one after another?
What about the rest of the world?
Acts 3...... Uncle......
"Sixth uncle, I took Feng Shuai to Binjiang, I want to discuss with my father whether to send someone to Bozhou to support!"
Huo Bao sighed in his heart and made a decision.
The owner of the horse village hurriedly shook his head: "No! The situation in Bozhou is not clear, why do we have to wade into this troubled water in Chuzhou? ”
"Sixth uncle, I'm not here for Bozhou...... If Bozhou is lost, Chuzhou will have no barrier, and it will face the imperial court soldiers and horses......"
The owner of the horse village was silent.
Everyone understands the truth of cold lips and teeth.
But Bozhou and Chuzhou have a deep disagreement, and it is difficult to be friends, and sooner or later there will be a war.
To save or not to save, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and it is difficult to decide.
didn't wait for Huo Bao to set off, Zhu Qiang came over.
"The four generals are all warrior monks, and they are commensurate with Marshal Feng's brothers, but they can be respectful to the lord and Marshal Feng's orders, they have no objection and completely obey them...... The Bozhou army was not like ordinary peasant soldiers. Yesterday I didn't see it really, but today I see that they are prohibited, well-trained, well-armed and armoured, and equipped with no less than our Chuzhou soldiers. Tired from traveling far away and without cooking, it is not good luck that the camp can not be bombed by a sneak attack in the middle of the night, it is completely based on strength to surround the two thousand new soldiers......"
Huo Bao and the owner of the horse village glanced at each other.
Such soldiers and horses cannot be trained by "combining grace and power".
There must be strong financial support behind it.
No matter where Monk Feng borrowed, he put his mark on these people.
These 6,000 people and horses are really hard to restrain themselves.
……
Huo Bao took ten servants, and Monk Feng was alone, twelve people, one person and two horses, out of the camp and went south.
General Silver took the grain cart and headed north.
……
Chubei to Binjiang, all the way to the official road, one hundred and ten miles.
Monk Feng was worried, Huo Bao had no intention of talking, but he didn't say anything all the way.
The group rode in pairs, made a stop in Quyang City, and arrived at Binjiang before it was right.
……
The Binjiang camp was built later, specially used as the base camp of Zhanhe Prefecture, covering a vast area and being extremely magnificent.
When Huo Bao and his party arrived, several people on the school field were still practicing.
Among them, there are Deng and Shui, both of whom have seen blood, and they are murderous and imposing when they practice.
Because Monk Feng was there, Huo Bao did not enter the camp directly, and sent Hou Xiaoming to his father to report the matter.
Even if Monk Feng has the intention of going to Chuzhou, he is still a guest at the moment, and he is the commander of one party, so it is not easy to be contemptuous.
Monk Feng looked at the boundless barracks with a stunned expression.
Huo Bao didn't mean to explain.
In less than a quarter of an hour, a group of people hurried out of the barracks.
Huo Wu, Deng Jian, Master Lin, Shui Jin and others all came out.
Seeing his son, Huo Wu was in a good mood, and he also smiled at Monk Feng: "Feng Shuai is here, he has not greeted him from afar, Huo is rude!" ”
Monk Feng made a bow: "Bozhou Feng Jue, I have seen Huo Shuai, I am an uninvited guest, and I am disturbed!" ”
Huo Wu looked at this familiar appearance, "hehe" twice, made a gesture of invitation, and said, "Please also invite Feng Shuai into the camp to talk!" ”
Monk Feng followed with his head.
Shui Jin approached Huo Bao and asked in a low voice, "Bozhou is really surrounded by the imperial army?" That...... But there is news from the third master......"
Huo Bao paused and looked at Shui Jin.
Shui Jin's expression was entangled, and his eyes were very complicated.
Huo Bao comforted: "Brother Shui, if there is no news, it is good news......
Shui Jin was annoyed: "Brother Bao, don't blame, I don't ...... somehow"
Huo Bao understands the entanglement of Shuijin.
How could he not have been like that himself.
It's just that his starting point is to guard Chuzhou.
Shui Jin is ruthless as he says, but in his heart he has feelings for the third disciple and the others.
……
Binjiang camp, conference hall, all guests and hosts are seated.
Monk Feng talked to everyone about the strength of Bozhou City.
"There are three forces in the city, Marshal Sun has 28,000 people, Marshal Liu has 16,000 people, and the Protector Army from Xuzhou has 12,000 ......."
When the people heard this, they could not help but wonder.
These men and horses together are more than 50,000 people, and they defend the city, and there is no need to fear an army of 80,000.
I heard Monk Feng continue: "When the Shandong army surrounded Xuzhou, it mobilized 160,000 people, I was afraid that this was the front army, and the rear army went south......"
The faces of the people were solemn.
In the face of 80,000 imperial court soldiers and horses, they all just chose to defend the city and were powerless to fight.
160,000 soldiers and horses, not to mention.
Huo Wuzheng said: "If 160,000 soldiers and horses arrive in Bozhou, Bozhou is indeed difficult to defend. I heard that Feng Shuai was planning to ask for help before, what kind of help was he asking for? The total strength of Chuzhou is not as good as Bozhou, and the city of Bozhou is small with 60,000 soldiers and horses, and it can only defend the city and dare not fight; Could it be that I, the two or thirty thousand people in Chuzhou, went north together to fight a field battle with the imperial army? ”
Monk Feng said: "The head of the Huangzhou Sect has burned incense to revolt, and I would like to ask Marshal Huo to send someone north to help the Huangzhou White Shirt Army." ”
Huangzhou, due north of Bozhou, belongs to Henan Province.
The Huangzhou White Shirts are based on ......
It is not possible to stop the imperial army, and the imperial army can choose to detour to Huai'an, northeast of Bozhou.
Unless......
"Huai'an also has a Buddhist army?" Huo Wu asked.
"Yes, on July 30, the Christmas of the King of the Earth, the head of the Huai'an Sect gathered to burn incense and occupy the state capital!"
Huo Bao's heart was beating wildly.
Here it comes!
It's finally here!
Now all I get is news from the Huanghuai area.
But according to the historical trend, at this time, the rebel armies in Jiangxi and Zhejiang also burned incense and revolted one after another!
The world is in chaos!
