Taking a boat from Xiangfu Port to Shangshui County was a journey of less than five or six days, and taking a boat from Xiangfu Port to Yangxia was even faster, almost only three or four days, and the more than 3,000 Shangshui soldiers who supported Yangxia landed on the Yangxia boundary of the vortex River in the early morning of February 19 under the leadership of 3,000 generals Lu Zhan.

The arrival of this army immediately aroused the vigilance of the hidden thieves in Yangxia.

About an hour later, the 3,000-strong general Lu Zhan led the main force of the 3,000 merchant army, and under the guidance of Zongwei Zhu Gui and He Miao, officially entered Yangxia.

When they entered the city, I don't know how many Yangxia hidden thief forces were mixed with the onlookers and peeked at them.

Among them, there is Ying Kang, the leader of the Yiqiu people, and You Ma, the leader of the Youma people.

"Something is wrong, something is wrong, Brother Ying."

"Hmm......"

Looking at the reinforcements of about 3,000 people stationed in the county, Ying Kang and Youma's faces were not very good-looking.

Because a few days ago, because Zhao Hongrun deliberately asked the merchant army in the county to release water, the hidden thieves and rangers in the city captured the arsenal, which made Ying Kang and You Ma and other hidden thieves mistakenly believe that this may be Zhao Hongrun's hope to settle the dispute peacefully with them.

Unexpectedly, a few days after the connection, Zhao Hongrun did not send anyone to negotiate with them.

This made Ying Kang and You Ma faintly suspicious of this matter, and until today, when they saw this support army stationed in Yangxia, they were even more sure in their hearts: they were fooled!

They fell for Zhao Hongrun's delaying tactic!

Clenching his fists, Ying Kang whispered with a solemn face: "His Royal Highness King Su has no intention of compromising with us at all, he is just trying to stabilize us...... Damn it! ”

On the side, You Ma also secretly blamed himself: "I should have thought of it, like the proud and conceited King Su, how could he be soft on me?" I'm in trouble......"

After that, he seemed to notice something, stared at the merchant generals passing by on the street with wide eyes, his face showed an incredible color, and he muttered uncontrollably: "This is ...... This is...... How is this possible? ”

Hearing this, Ying Kang looked at Youma suspiciously, and asked puzzledly, "Brother Youma, what's wrong?" ”

I saw You Ma staring intently at the army passing in front of him, and said in a low voice: "Brother Ying, this support army is also a merchant army, right?" ”

Ying Kang subconsciously looked at the banner of the army stationed in the county, saw the words Wei Shangshui written on the banner, nodded and said, "It's the Shangshui Army, what's wrong with this?" ”

However, You Ma's eyes showed a solemn look, and he said in a low tone: "This is not the Shangshui Army stationed in Shangshui County!" …… This is the main force of the merchant water army that defeated Sanchuan! ”

"What?" Ying Kang's face changed greatly when he heard this.

He turned his head to look at the merchant soldiers passing in front of him, and sure enough, he found that the armor of these merchant soldiers was covered with traces of sword slashing, and the momentum and appearance of these merchant soldiers he saw at this moment were also very different from the merchant soldiers who were stationed in the city a few days ago.

By all indications, this is an army that has just been born in blood on a brutal battlefield.

Indeed, the main force of the Shangshui Army and the Shangshui Army, don't look at the difference between the two words, but they are completely different: the former is just the left-behind army stationed in Shangshui County and Yanling, and the latter, that is the victorious division that pacified Sanchuan and just won a fierce battle, and the soldiers in the latter army are all soldiers who have survived tenaciously after the brutal Battle of Sanchuan.

The common characteristic of these soldiers is that they are not as timid as the recruits, which gives people the illusion that they look down on life and death.

"These ...... Are you here to welcome our Yangxia civilians? ”

In the main force of the 3,000-strong merchant army, Li Hui whispered to his companions Yang Wu and Le Bao.

Since Wu Ji did not tell his generals the purpose of coming to Yangxia this time, it seems that Li Hui, Yang Wu, and Le Bao are pawns, and they don't know what the situation is in Yangxia County at this moment.

"Probably. …… Let's be kind, then. ”

Yang Wu muttered in a low voice, and then, noticing that someone was staring at him, he raised his head and grinned at the other party.

The owner who stared at him was none other than Youma.

Seeing Yang Wu turn his head and grin at him, You Ma was shocked, and only felt a slight chill rushing up his spine.

This pawn is so amazingly murderous......

Yuma swallowed.

If it weren't for his personal experience, he would never have believed that an ordinary pawn in the main force of the Shang Shui Army actually made him feel a lot of pressure.

Looking at the rest of the soldiers, You Ma was shocked to find that the eyes of these Shangshui soldiers were all confident eyes.

This is the confident look of a soldier who has won a terrible battle.

Therefore, he was even more convinced: this was not the Shangshui army stationed in Shangshui County, but the main force of the Shangshui army led by the general Wu Ji, who followed the king of Su to pacify Sanchuan.

And beside him, Ying Kang, the leader of the Yiqiu people, also felt the pressure brought by this merchant and water army.

How can it be? The main force of the Shang Shui Army, which pacified Sanchuan, won't it be until next month to reach this area? How could it be so early?

Ying Kang didn't expect that Zhao Hongrun would transport these main forces of the merchant water army to Yangxia by water, but he could still guess one thing: since Zhao Hongrun had the means to quietly bring the main force of the three thousand merchant water army to Yangxia, then the remaining 13,000 soldiers of the main force of the merchant water army would inevitably arrive one after another in the next few days.

It's time for war...... That King Su is going to war against us......

Ying Kang had a bad premonition in his heart, and hurriedly left the crowd with the traveling horse.

If you think about it, Zhao Hongrun once again summoned the main force of this merchant and water army over, and he definitely did not intend to live in peace with them, if nothing goes wrong, today, there will be bloodshed again in this county, and the hidden thief forces and rangers who attacked the arsenal a few days ago will be suppressed by the revenge of the king of Su tenfold.

At the same time, Lu Zhan, the 3,000-person general under Wu Ji's command, and the remaining 2,000-person generals and 1,000-person generals, have already come to the county office where Zhao Hongrun is at the moment under the guidance of Zongwei Zhu Gui and He Miao.

Zhao Hongrun summoned them in the lobby of the front office.

Don't look at the arrival of Yangxia this time, it is only 3,000 soldiers in the main force of the Shangshui Army, but there are a lot of generals, in addition to the 3,000 generals Lu Zhan, there are still 2,000 generals Yi Jiao, Chen Xie, and 1,000 generals Ran Teng, Xiang Li, Zhang Ming, all of whom are known for their bravery in the Battle of Sanchuan and fought on the front line.

"The last general, wait for the meeting of His Royal Highness King Su."

"No courtesy."

Zhao Hongrun waved his hand and said with a pleasant face: "I'm sorry, everyone, I was going to give you a period of cultivation, but because of the matter here in Yangxia, I summoned you here again." ”

As the only 3,000 generals among the generals who came this time, Lu Zhan hurriedly said: "This is the importance that His Royal Highness King Su attaches to my merchant and naval army, and we can only die effectively to repay King Su's great kindness." ”

The rest of the generals echoed their words.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun nodded, and Zhengse said to the generals: "This time this king summoned you to Yangxia, not because of the Chu State, nor because of the Song Land, but because of a group of rebellious Wei people......"

In fact, Lu Zhan and other generals had already learned about the situation on Yangxia's side from Wu Ji in advance, so after listening to Zhao Hongrun's words, they were not too surprised, they just felt angry, angry that those Yangxia hidden thieves actually dared to assassinate His Royal Highness King Su in front of them, and actually dared to gather a crowd to attack their merchant army.

After chatting for a while, Wu Majiao rushed over from the station.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun summoned Wu Ma Jiao to his side and said to Lu Zhan and the others: "For specific matters, General Wu Ma (Jiao) will arrange for you to do it." …… Witch Horse. ”

"The end will be." Wu Majiao clenched his fists.

I saw a trace of killing intent flash in Zhao Hongrun's eyes, and said in a deep voice: "A few days ago, the account that those thieves attacked the arsenal, it's time to get it back from them." As he spoke, he seemed to think of something, and told Wu Majiao: "This king has only recently learned that many of the scholarly halls in this city have secret rooms, and some of them are connected to tunnels, which can lead directly to the outside of the city, and you have destroyed them all for this king!" ”

Wu Ma Jiao nodded when he heard this, hugged his fists in response, and left the county office with Lu Zhan's cadres.

At this time, Zong Wei Zhu Gui and He Miao stepped forward to report to Zhao Hongrun.

Zhu Gui didn't have much to say, after all, he was only responsible for contacting Wu Ji, but the report made by He Miao made Zhao Hongrun frown.

"Sixth Uncle...... Already out of the girder? ”

"Exactly. When the humble post arrived in Daliang, the sixth prince had already taken Princess Yulong out of the city for several days, so the humble duty handed over the letter of His Royal Highness to Su Wangwei in the palace, and told them to wait for the sixth prince to return to Daliang, and then send it to Yiwangfu. ”

"Hmm." Zhao Hongrun nodded when he heard this.

Although he felt very sorry, there was no way to do it, he couldn't let Zhu Gui and He Miao go around looking for the traces of his sixth uncle, right? God knows where the Sixth Uncle took Princess Yulong to play.

"Where's the Smelting Bureau?" Zhao Hongrun asked again: "When will the first batch of Hidden Arrows arrive?" ”

Hearing this, He Miao showed a smile on his face that was similar to when Ding Jun fooled him that day, and said to Zhao Hongrun mysteriously: "Your Highness, Ding (Jun) Craftsman said that it is not easy to make sleeve arrows, and it is difficult to build a batch of ...... in a few days However, the lowly position brought with it a better set of things. ”

"Huh?" Zhao Hongrun was stunned, puzzled and asked, "What is it?" ”

"The crossbow box that the tinkerer is working on."

"......" Zhao Hongrun opened his mouth and looked at He Miao blankly.

But He Miao didn't notice that Zhao Hongrun was stunned, and still told Zhao Hongrun what Ding Jun fooled him about, only to hear Zhao Hongrun stunned.

I want a sleeve arrow, because the sleeve arrow is not only secret, but also easy to carry, I want a crossbow box, what is the use of the elimination of Lu more than ten years ago?

Zhao Hongrun looked at He Miao angrily, and even if he guessed, He Miao must have been fooled by Ding Jun's crossbow box lover.

In his opinion, the crossbow box is purely a bully for the infantry, and the only advantage is that it can be called semi-free, and it will never stop firing if it does not shoot the crossbow arrows in the box, but if it is in front of the repeater, it is a fart? The latter has twice the range, and a single arrow can shoot the receiver and destroy the entire receiver directly.

If you want a crossbow box, you might as well make another batch of repeaters!

But after thinking about it carefully, Zhao Hongrun's eyes faintly revealed a few different colors.

Because he suddenly thought again, the hidden thieves of Yangxia, and the gang of rangers, they had almost no weapons for long-range attacks.

In this case, the crossbow box, perhaps, can be put to waste?

Zhao Hongrun touched his chin and thought about it.

One thing he had to admit was that against a bunch of infantry thieves who didn't have ranged weapons, the crossbow case would be no less lethal than a repeater.

Even, it is easy to help the merchant sailors harvest the lives of a large number of thieves. (To be continued.) )
