At the critical moment, it was Jia Tan, the envoy of Shannan Dongdao, and Cao Wanggao, the envoy of Jingnan Jiedu, to insist on their own opinions, and persuaded Han Rong's escort officer to temporarily stop the ship in Xiangyang City.

Jia Tan and Cao Wanggao both promised to fully mobilize the human and financial resources within their jurisdiction, prepare water and land passages, repair post houses, and ensure the unimpeded passage of wealth and silk in the southeast.

So now Jia Tan has sent a letter, asking Gao Yue to join the "transfer relay race" where every second counts!

Gao Yue didn't dare to slack off at all, he hurriedly took out the "Longyou Mountain South Map" given to him by Jia Gong, and now he has asked the officials in the palace to enlarge it and trace it on a large paper scroll.

Then the Baicao Army and the personnel in the military and political system of Xingyuan Mansion all gathered over, "The gold merchant defense envoy appointed by the imperial court Fan Ze has not yet arrived, and most of the Shangzhou have fallen into the hands of Li Xilie, and now Li Xilie's general Feng Youlin has occupied the three states of Deng, Shang and Jun, and Wuguan Dao is stumbling. We can't wait for Fan Ze, we must first dispatch the White Grass Army, and collect the war horses, ten pack horses, and mules of the whole army and the whole prefecture, and first transport the batch of rice grain and light goods sent by Han Rong to Xingyuan Mansion by land from Shangjin Road! ”

"The dredging of the slanted water?"

Gao Yue waved his hand, saying that he didn't have to think about it for so long for the time being, "After the rice grain arrived at Xingyuan Mansion, it was not taken the Bao Slope, but transported by land to Luoyang, Xingzhou, and then along the Western Han River through the jurisdiction of Wei Gao, and transported to Fengxiang Mansion and Fengtian City. ”

This time it is really as Liu Yan expected, even if it is worth transporting a bucket of rice with ten yuan of money.

The emperor's soldiers and horses from all walks of life in Fengtian City are really waiting for food in Baba!

Gao Yue did what he said, and immediately collected 3,000 white grass troops, and he immediately ascended the altar of worship and said to the soldiers:

"You and other Baicao disciples are all His Majesty's royal pawns, Ben Yin took you into Shu to quell the rebellion before, and everyone got a lot of money for the town army, which shows that Ben Yin's previous words in Baoyan Mountain were counted!

Look at your family's food and clothing, are they getting more and more abundant? That's all because we have followed Your Majesty loyally for the past two or three years, but now Your Majesty is in Fengtian City, and you don't want to wait for the king to be hungry until he freezes, but he is miserable. ”

"Your Majesty, wow!" Guo Zaizhen, the Marquis of Yu in the White Grass Army, took the lead in moving his feelings, looked at the direction of Fengtian in the north, beat his chest and cried.

Then the soldiers of the White Grass Army, regardless of their background, wept one after another, and the crying around the altar shook the sky.

"Now there are 100,000 stone meters in the southeast, but the original old roads have been blocked by Huaixi thieves, so we can only go up to Jindao to enter gold and ocean, and then come to our Xingyuan Mansion! What do you say, sons? ”

"Pulling mules and horses, even if you carry them on your feet, you have to carry these rice!" Gao Gu on Gao Yue's side, his whole body was pierced with armor, his fist was raised, his eyes were wide open, and his voice was sharp.

"Yui, don't dare to quit!" The fists of the three thousand white grass disciples were all waved.

Subsequently, the entire Xingyuan Mansion was mobilized inside and outside the city, and the war horses and pack horses were pulled out, and they also began to requisition the people's pack animals, whether they were mules, donkeys, or even cattle, all of which were put on various vehicles and prepared to go out of the city to meet the rice grain of Shangjin Road.

But when he returned to Fuzhong, Gao Yue was thinking about the rations and miscellaneous rewards of the soldiers of the White Grass Army at the same time, and the slogan mobilization was the slogan mobilization, but the soldiers were not wooden people, and if they had no money and no food to reward, even if they were the closest to him, the White Grass Army, I was afraid that they would have to make a fuss.

"Withhold some of the rice as a reward." In the end, Gao Yue said, and gave an actual number, after the 100,000 stone of rice arrived at the Chiya Warehouse of Xingyuan Mansion, he would intercept 15,000 stones, that is, each Baicao disciple who went out to fight and pull the horse would get five stone of rice.

Liu Demu trembled and said that this is not good!

"There's no way, Xingyuan Mansion now has six thousand more Baicao troops to eat the barnage, the camp has not yet become a climate, and the burden of rice and grain is also very heavy, I believe Your Majesty will understand." Gao Yue thought to himself, the money and silk of Bao Ji's five million yuan were intercepted by the previous Biandong transshipment, what is the rice grain of 15,000 stones in my interception area?

After the calculation was completed, Guo Zaizhen and Liu De stayed in Fucheng, and Chang Shi Weiping was still running between Fengtian and Xingyuan to deliver the news, Gao Yue, Gao Gu, and Cai Fengyuan personally escorted the formation, supervised the three thousand soldiers of the White Grass Army, and took all the pack beasts and vehicles to go in the direction of Shangjin.

Gao Yue didn't even have time to say goodbye to his wife, so he swayed on horseback and embarked on the journey without hesitation.

Cai Fengyuan, who followed him, is now familiar with some words, and he also recorded the mileage along the way with a short pen on horseback:

Fifty miles west from Xingyuan Mansion, through the city;

Chenggu continued to travel 70 miles to Xingdao County, Yangzhou, and soon Hou Lan, who knew about Yangzhou, led 300 state soldiers to unite his children, and more than 100 mules and horses, and rushed here from Xixiang County, the state office, to wait here, and join Gao Yue's ranks;

Sixty-seven miles forward from Xingdao County, to the border pass Raofeng Pass that connects Qin and Chu five thousand miles of rivers and mountains, Raofeng Ridge up and down thirty miles of mountain road, the stone path lingers, extremely steep, the people and horses are connected by a line, endlessly, the pass was previously set up by Liu Yan's suggestion to set up a post house, Gao Yue left some soldiers and horses here, and continued on the road;

Sixty miles later, to the junction of Yangzhou and Jinzhou, Shiquan County, it rained again, people and horses walked in the rain, until the sky cleared up and crossed the Fangshan Pass sixty miles away, the road was smooth and spacious, after thirty-two miles arrived at Hanyin County, and then one hundred and eighty miles to Xicheng County, Jinzhou, the county order of Hanyin and Xicheng counties also led more than 1,000 solidarity and people, with pack horses to meet the confluence;

Shun Han water from Xicheng County, one hundred and twenty miles to the east, to Xunyang County, cover the north of this county has Xunshui to inject Han water to get the name, from Xunyang to the east sixty miles, to Loess County, there is the post post saint mansion in Jiming Mountain in the north of Loess County, Gao Yue also left some soldiers and horses here.

Eventually, it turned northeast from the Holy Mansion, traveled 100 miles by land, and finally went to Shangjin Castle.

The whole journey is about 800 miles, across the four states of Xingyuan, Yang, Jin and Shang, passing through two passes and three waters.

After arriving at Shangjin Fort, Gao Yue stood on the horse, only to see the scenery on the north side of Shangjin is vast and long, all are blue-black valleys, turn over these mountains, cross the Manchuan Pass is the Shanyang boundary of Shangzhou, and the winding Jiahe River goes around the fort and flows into the Han River to the south.

That is to say, Shangjin Fort itself does not rely on the Han River, and it is still a long way off.

But as Jia Tan said, the fleet could not directly transport materials to Xingyuan Mansion through Hanshui.

Why?

Because of the south of Yunxiang in Junzhou, southeast of Shangjin Fort, where the Han River passes, there are two beaches that are the most sinister, and the whole Han River is up and down, because of this infarction, the route from Xingyuan to Xiangyang is cut off.

Therefore, after Han Rong's ship arrived in Jia Tan's Xiangyang, it first traveled 360 miles from the Han River to the transfer yard in Yunxiang, and then landed to Shangjin Fort, and then transported it from Shangjin Road to Xingyuan Mansion along the various distances when Gao Yue came.

"It's really tortuous and difficult!" Gao Yue was also tired from the journey of eight hundred miles at this time, and he lay down on the saddle, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Immediately, he also secretly made up his mind to enter Shangjin Fort immediately, and after the handover was completed, he would go to Yunxiang to see what those two dangerous shoals looked like!
