Chapter 60: The Strange Soldiers of the Waterways Suddenly Descend on Gancheng
Those who succeed in the world, do not do the first to be the first, the weak wait for the situation to move, the second takes advantage of the situation, the strong are building momentum to seize the momentum, with Xu Zhenzhi's scrutiny, here Longtou Mountain is always more than ten miles away from Ganzhou City, if you forcibly dig enough to pass a large number of people and horses of the secret road, it is not necessary to work hard to move the crowd or even the people.
However, Li Chunfeng's people who touched the gold and dug for the soil were only thirty, and they had neither the supernatural powers of three heads and six arms, nor the ability to overwhelm the mountains and seas, so they could only do so with the help of the terrain.
Everyone was also puzzled, pressed their curiosity in their hearts, followed the grain transport team into the reeds, and soon came to a wide ravine, but it was the river that had not yet dried up!
"Yes, yes, yes! Ganzhou water veins are abundant, the underground dark river criss-crossed, with Li Chunfeng's means of finding the dragon point, the ability to explore and inspect, in the city of Ganzhou in various wells to explore the city, find the underground dark river, only need to modify the river, the flood is diverted, the dark river waterway is not a natural secret road to and fro!! ”
Zhang Jiunian saw this waterway that had already been tread by people and horses, and he exclaimed in surprise, and his inference turned out to be eight or nine, and Li Chunfeng and Liu Shenwei couldn't help but be impressed by it.
The brothers were amazed, from the gentle slope of the river all the way down, dozens of steps away to see a deep hole, the beginning of the darkness, the light again, along the way to play the torch, under the reflection, the stalactites on the head are different, gorgeous and dazzling, quite a ghostly axe, although the brothers are rough people, but still can't help but slap their hands and admire this beautiful scene.
After walking for several miles, and listening to the roar of the water, there was a wide dark river next to it, and the white waves were flying, like the underground silver dragon roaring and rushing, throwing stones and sinking feathers, unfathomable, turbulent like a dragon elephant going crazy, and scaring everyone out of a cold sweat, but Li Chunfeng and the brothers of the grain transportation team had long been accustomed to it, and their faces were quite proud, leading all the way, no problem.
Xu Zhen saw that those captains who touched the gold were as thin as spirit monkeys, their fingers were a little more slender than him Xu Zhen, their faces were pale and bloodless, their lips were black, and there seemed to be black gas between their eyebrows, which was quite obscure, but they remembered the Tiance Army tomb that they encountered on the way when they escaped from the mining area with Zhang Jiunian and other fourteen people.
After all, he has gone all the way, thanks to the red armor defense guards, and relied on the sharp edge of the long knife in his hand, he has escaped death several times, all thanks to this merit, counting, the mysterious tomb can be regarded as his great benefactor Xu Zhen and the fourteenth guard of the red armor, how can he not even know the origin of the benefactor's name?
After thinking about it for a while, Xu Zhen had no choice but to give up, after all, these Touching Gold Captains were not very familiar, he trusted Li Chunfeng, but it did not mean that he would trust the people close to Li Chunfeng, as for the origin of the red armor long knife, it would only be found out in the future.
In this way, while thinking about the road, on the way to go around a lot, about an hour away, the front really saw the firelight, like the wolves in the forest that night, the food brothers like a prodigal son who traveled far away saw the lights of home, and his heart was overjoyed, so he quickened the pace, and those fireflies grew stronger and stronger, but it was hundreds of ** who had been on standby for a long time!
Those ** rushed to gather over, planning to receive a good life, only to find that Xu Zhen was in charge of the people, and hurriedly held down the head of the knife, until Li Chunfeng explained from it, Xu Zhen revealed his identity again, both sides were overjoyed, and hurriedly led forward, and soon stepped on a wide staircase, and the fire was already like day outside.
This exit is an inner lake in the city, when the lake has already been drained, the feet are paved with sand and gravel hay, the passage of carriages and horses is unimpeded, the enthusiasm of the soldiers and civilians in the city is high, and they begin to unload the car familiarly, and they see that Xu Zhenbu has six hundred men and horses, and there are many barbaric postures, and the heart is also secretly vigilant.
Xu Zhen was helpless, and he inevitably had more troubles, so he hurriedly restrained the brothers, but he saw a person coming quickly, and he heard the hearty laughter before seeing anyone, which was actually Li De Award!
"Brother Xu! It's really you! How did you end up crashing into this! Hahaha! Li De Award is quite heroic, he didn't dare to disobey his father's order that day, so he could only abandon Li Mingda and go, feeling a little guilty in his heart, and now seeing Xu Zhen, he hurriedly sent people to settle the military horses.
The two had another greeting, Li Decheng was heroic by nature, and he had a friendship with Zhou Cang Gaohe in the past, and greeted each other, but there was another lively scene, which caused the surrounding soldiers to be puzzled, and they were more and more surprised by the identity of Xu Zhen's team.
The city of Ganzhou is tall and stable, the livelihood in the city is orderly, the army and the people are united and cooperative, and there is no trace of decadence, but the crowd is excited, and the fighting spirit is high.
If you can really keep this secret path and continuously transport food and troops from the outside world, the Tuyuhun Ashina tribe outside the city will only have to drag yourself down.
When Xu Zhen saw this, he knew that Li Jing, the god of the army, was worthy of his name, and he couldn't help but admire it in his heart.
Everyone was pointing at this strange army, but a big riot broke out in the dark passage, and a group of migrant workers ran out one after another screaming, their faces were frightened and pale, like a ghost, and under everyone's attention, they saw a silver-haired and fanged livestock rushing out like lightning!
"How can there be such a tall wolf!"
The sergeants drew their swords out of their sheaths one after another, making that vigilant gesture, but they saw that among this strange army, a young man in a beard with blue and black stubble, but he was only ten years old, but he had wide shoulders and long hands, and he was quite heroic, and he did not hold a sword, so he faced the silver wolf with a big grin!
"Why is this young man so reckless, he wants to kill himself, and stop it quickly!"
When the soldiers in the city were worried, the silver wolf had already pounced on the young man's body, and the crowd exclaimed, unable to bear to look directly at the bloody scene that was about to happen, but the man and the wolf were safe, the young man actually stroked the silver wolf, like a master and servant, and everyone was stunned, and it was unbelievable!
Yinzong smiled at this time, and walked with the silver wolf with the team, and all passers-by avoided it along the way, and they were very surprised.
Xu Zhen saw that Yinzong smiled mischievously at him, and did not hide the childlike stubbornness of the young man, so he could only shake his head helplessly, smiled bitterly, and followed Li De Award Li Chunfeng to meet the chief of the Xikaidao march, and shot the old man with his right servant, but he was also the Weiguo Gong Li Jing (note).
The soldiers and civilians in the city are talking about it, and they are surprised in their hearts, and they go around to find out the inside story, and for a time there are different opinions, Li De Award is the second son of the general, the general is old, and the movement is inconvenient, so the defense of the city must make his son take the lead in every battle, Li De Award is brave and brave, courageous and monstrous, and his reputation in the army is increasing, and everyone sees that he is intimate with Xu Zhen, and even makes friends with the gift of brothers, and becomes more and more curious.
In the midst of the chatter and disturbance, someone suddenly exclaimed: "What a blind eye! Isn't this silver wolf boy the legendary barbaric subordinate of the wood-burning man! ”
"Woodman!"
"Is it the wood-burner who will win every battle and slaughter countless people!"
"I heard someone shouting Xu Duwei, I think it's him!"
"It's really Captain Xu Zhendu! Seeing that Wenwen is a little weaker, he is really a group of barbarians under his hands, but I don't know if it is beneficial or harmful to my Ganzhou..."
Those sergeants and soldiers who received and settled the soldiers and horses of Xu Zhen's headquarters, heard Xu Zhen's name, and their hearts were excited, and they all took in Brother Sale and Rouran, but they seemed to be a little cold to Qin Guang's brave battalion.
Seeing this scene, the brothers of the brave battalion did not resist, but felt that their own lieutenant seemed to have a small reputation, and secretly competed with Brother Sal Rouran, and in the future, he was bound to make a bad name, so he could enjoy this admiration.
There are many young and strong people in this city who spontaneously assisted the army, and seeing that Xu Zhen's troops are very majestic, they all have the ambition to join the army, take the food and drink of the army, and go to Xu Zhen's camp to inquire about the news, and they all want to join Xu Zhen's command.
At that time, Xu Zhenxin was a little apprehensive, in the historical data, Li Jing was a big man at the level of the military god, won a hundred battles, shaped Li Tang, the hero of the founding of the country, and the fierce general of the frontier, such as the Sui and Tang Romances, and even pinched it into a demon king, entered the Dragon Palace, and got the book of heaven.
However, Xu Zhen thought about it, and after scrutiny, Li Jing should be in his sixties at this time, and the so-called regrets in life are none other than Jiang Lang's talent, the decline of beauty, and the twilight of heroes.
However, before there was Jiang Taigong who was still fishing in his seventies, although Lian Po was still old and able to eat, and now Li Gong was brazenly fighting, Xu Zhen naturally had great respect, so he was relieved a lot.
** Encamped everywhere in the city, but he did not commit any crime against the residents, even the lord and the grandfather of the country were in the tent of the Chinese army, and did not occupy the mansion in the city, and the military discipline was strict, which made people awe-inspired.
Li De Award was reported in the account, and it came out in a moment, but it was brought out a short and fat old boy, not Yan Lide, who would be a master, who else could it be!
His people are obsessed with equipment ingenuity, after getting Xu Zhen's drawings, he studied day and night, and after reporting the crossbow, he has now produced some in small batches, and in the battle of defending the city, it can be said that he has made great contributions, so that the army has praised the power of the crossbow, but this person is not greedy for merit, and he is frank and publicized, which makes Xu Zhen's name more and more legendary, Li Jing saw this, and Yan Lide is also a good student, so he allocated manpower and financial power to supply gas to develop Xu Zhen's mysterious drawings.
But after all, there are some things that don't know the point, the first experiment, the artifact was like the anger of the heavenly father, like the roar of the earth dragon, and it actually blew up most of the entire craftsman camp, and the sergeant auxiliary workers were injured, and even Yan Lide himself was hit hard.
However, he was convinced of the power of the artifact, and he was roughly perfunctory about his injuries and continued to devote himself to research and development, but his subordinates were frightened and frightened, and the progress couldn't help but slow down.
Hearing that Xu Zhen had stolen into the city of Ganzhou, Yan Lideton felt joy descending from the sky, and inadvertently learned that Cao Mengde, and greeted him backwards, his steps were hurried but he was happy, which made Xu Zhen can't help laughing but his heart is warm.
"Boy, you're here! It's really bitter to death your old brother! ”
Saying this, he came up and hugged Xu Zhen, fortunately, Li Chunfeng is not that pedantic scholar, otherwise he would be slapped by this old boy's affectionate energy.
Xu Zhen spread his hands towards Li Chunfeng, sneering, but with a look of disgust, he pushed Yan Lide away who kept coming over, Li Chunfeng couldn't cry or laugh, but he appreciated Xu Zhen more and more in his heart, and always felt that the mysterious aura on Xu Zhen's body was getting stronger and stronger, and it was impossible to see through it.
Moreover, just by virtue of the Commander of the Folding Chong Mansion, he dared to look disgusted with the master craftsman, how many people could do it? What's more, Li Chunfeng has also seen Xu Zhen's design drawings and knows how shocking it will be for Datang and even the entire era if that artifact is made!
(Note: Tejin began in the late Western Han Dynasty, referring to those who retired due to illness or old age, still as a liehou, a special advance, such as the prime minister, to the Tang Dynasty, become the second grade of the official name, the opening of the palace with the three divisions.) )
