The commander of the Zhou army, who led the troops stationed in Lujiang, personally sent wine, meat, rice, and cloth to Qicheng today to reward the officers and men of the Chen army who controlled the city, and by the way, to carry out a 'friendship' and consolidate the friendship between Zhou and Chen.

The common social activities in this era include the canopus, the lance, the pitcher, and the shooting, the populus is gambling, the grip is a skillful wrestling, and the pitcher lacks some masculinity, in contrast, the play is more suitable for the communication between the officers and soldiers of the two armies.

It is also the best occasion for archers to show off their skills.

The drama shooting is divided into punk shooting, single ejaculation, and there are many people participating in the punk shooting, that is, the form of "team competition" is the decisive victory, and the soldiers of the two armies of Zhou and Chen are engaged in pun shooting.

The distance between the arrow target and the target during the play is generally between 80 and 100 steps, and this time the soldiers of the two armies are compatible, in order to increase the difficulty, the distance between the arrow target is 120 steps, because there is no need for the arrow to break the armor, so there is no problem only in terms of range.

Whether you can hit the bull's-eye mainly depends on the archer's eyesight.

This kind of difficulty is not a problem for Shi Wansui at all, but as the coach, he doesn't need to play in person, so at this time, Shi Wansui is with Chen Jun's coach Fan Yi, watching the soldiers under their respective commands shoot.

Since the Yecheng Incident, Shi Wansui led his troops to garrison the border of Jinzhou in Jiangbei to guard against the invasion of the Wei Chi army in the direction of Hezhou.

Shi Wansui's department, together with the Laihu'er Navy army stationed in Jiangzhou Huangkou, formed the Jiangzhou defense line of the Yuwen clan, that is, to resist the army of Hezhou Weichi's army, but also to defend against the Chen army downstream, so even if the battle in Shannan became increasingly fierce, Shi Wansui's troops and horses have been nailed to Jinzhou and did not move at all.

In the past few months, a number of major battles broke out in Shannan and Yuzhou, and as a bystander, the garrison in Jiangzhou, Shi Wansui and the soldiers heard the good news frequently, and couldn't help but be a little anxious, and they all looked forward to the Chen army to attack, so that they could make military achievements.

As a result, the two countries were in alliance and there was no fight.

Before, Chen envoy hired Zhou (Anlu), Zhou envoy returned to Chen Guoguo with Chen envoy Jiankang, and the two countries then determined to unite and jointly attack Wei Chi's family, so far, the Zhou army stationed in Jiangzhou and the Chen army downstream have become allies, and it is not possible to fight, so it is necessary to 'friendship'.

Shi Wansui is not stupid to defend stubbornly, he only accounted for part of Jinzhou at the beginning, and the other part was controlled by Wei Chi's army, and when the king of Xiyang sneaked up on the hanging gourd, Shi Wansui also gradually "recovered" the entire territory of Jinzhou.

Later, Chen's army succeeded in a sneak attack on Guangling, and the army of Huainan Wei Chi was in chaos, and Shi Wansui took the opportunity to invade the territory of Hezhou and took Lujiang County to govern Lujiang.

At the same time, Fan Yi, the general of Chen Guo stationed in quarrying, led his army to cross the river, captured the important places in Jiangbei, and then attacked Qicheng in Hezhou Prefecture in the west, which was only more than 130 miles away from Ruyin in Hezhou Prefecture.

Ruyin is Hefei, and the Lujiang River won by Shi Wansui is about 130 miles away from Ruyin, and it is almost 130 miles away from Qicheng.

Lujiang River is located in the south of Ruyin, and Qicheng is located in the south-east of Ruyin, from the map, Ruyin, Lujiang, Qicheng constitute an equidistant triangle, in the triangle area, there is a huge lake, named Jiaohu.

Although the two countries are now allies, Fan Yi, the commander of the Chen army, has been on guard against movements in Lujiang, for fear of being left behind by the Zhou army.

In this regard, Shi Wansui, the coach of the Zhou army, took practical actions to resolve the unnecessary worries of Fan Yi, the commander of the Chen army: he only took more than 100 horses to Qicheng several times in a row, and then entered the camp with a few retinues, chatting and laughing with Fan Yi.

Shi Wansui's move can be regarded as an expression of great sincerity, but Fan Yi still feels that he is in a dilemma, but this has nothing to do with the fact that the Zhou army is stationed in Lujiang.

As soon as there is something in people's hearts, it is difficult to hide it on their faces, Shi Wansui saw that Fan Yi seemed to be a little distracted, so he asked: "Xiaoyao Gong has something on his mind?" Could it be that there is a shortage of food and grass? Why don't our troops allocate a little bit of urgency first? ”

"Ah, no, no, the kindness of the Taiping Gong, Fan Mou understands it."

Fan Yi's title is the Duke of Xiaoyao County of Chen State, and Shi Wansui's title is the Duke of Taiping County of Chen State, so they call each other by their titles.

"Xiaoyao Gong, Shi has heard some rumors recently, which are about your country."

"I don't know what kind of rumors the Taiping Gong heard."

"It is reported that a mutiny broke out in your country, and the rebels burned and looted in the city, burning most of the houses.... Of course, Shi naturally didn't believe it. ”

"Haha, that's just a rumor made by someone with ulterior motives, it's just that some soldiers made noise in the barracks because of a misunderstanding, and as a result, it spread ten, ten, and hundred, and it went out of shape when it was passed on, as the so-called 'three people become tigers', the rumors are not credible."

"I see, I see...."

Shi Wansui made a sudden realization, he and Fan Yi's acting skills are good, Fan Yi can't say what is in his heart, and Shi Wansui won't get to the bottom of it, but he can guess what the other party thinks, just don't say it.

At the end of the play, Chen's team won by a narrow margin, the soldiers on both sides shook hands and said joy, after a bitter drink, Shi Wansui took people away, it was in the afternoon, he rode back to Lujiang more than a hundred miles away, and the time was a little tight for half a day.

Finally sent Shi Wansui away, Fan Yi breathed a sigh of relief, immediately turned back to the big tent, and beckoned the servants who had been waiting for a long time to enter, and the first thing he said was "How is the situation in Jiankang?" ”

When the servant heard this, he cried out: "Master Lang! The south of Jiankang City is now entrenched by rebellious soldiers, and all the mansion properties in the mansion on the border Huai are all burned..."

"Burned? Are all the Bianhuai columns finished? ”

"It's over, all the mansions and restaurants in the Bianhuai Lie are finished!"

The so-called family business has a large cost of money, and civil and military officials have settled in the national capital, and it takes a lot of money to maintain a decent pomp and maintain the expenses of a family, and it is impossible to sustain it at all by relying on the grain and cloth obtained by the food and food.

Therefore, civil and military officials either lend usury, or run industries, relying on business profits to subsidize the huge expenses of the government, like other officials, Fan Yi's mansion also operates industries, in the most prosperous border Huai Lie on the bank of the Qinhuai River in Jiankang City.

Relying on the profits of these mansions, the Fan Mansion can support a decent pomp, cope with all kinds of ushers and send-offs, and raise loyal troops.

And now, it's all over.

Fan Yi listened to the cry of the servant, the more he listened, the more cold his heart became, he was stationed in quarrying, and when the king took Guangling, he crossed the river to attack Liyang, and was about to take advantage of the victory to pursue and take Ruyin, but Jiankang mutinied.

The reason for the mutiny was probably because the reward that should have been issued last year was not issued, and the soldiers had been grudging for a long time, and now the imperial court is going to use troops on a large scale, and the arrears of rewards are not issued, so the mutiny was stimulated.

This kind of mutiny should be suppressed soon, and the leader of the evil will be killed, and the ordinary soldiers who will be attached to him will be given some benefits, so that the past can be settled.

Fan Yi thought so, but as a result, the news that came from Jiankang one after another did not have a good news: the rebels were entrenched in the area of Changganli in the south of the Qinhuai River, coercing the people to participate in the rebellion, and even began to attack the Qingxi area.

On both sides of Qingxi, it is an area where the mansions of dignitaries and dignitaries gather, and there are many nursing homes, which did not allow the rebels to succeed.

Fan's Mansion is also located on the bank of the Qingxi River, Fan Yi can't help but worry about the safety of his family, where is there still a heart to think about how to capture Hefei.

Not only him, but many officers and soldiers in the army are worried about their relatives in Jiankang, and now the rebels have defeated the officers and soldiers of the counterinsurgency one after another, and their arrogance is becoming more and more arrogant.

Will relatives be harmed by the rebellion? Will the price of rice in the city skyrocket to the point that families will run out of food?

The soldiers and horses stationed around Jiankang are not in ruins, and there is no way to take the chaotic soldiers!

Fan Yi has heard of such complaints from time to time, and they have a great impact on the morale of the army, but he can't kill people and establish authority, so he can only arrange for the governor to be suppressed everywhere, and the soldiers are strictly forbidden to spread rumors and rumors.

But this is not a way, according to what the servants said, Fan Yi's relatives have entered Taicheng for refuge, but how can the families of many ordinary soldiers have such treatment, if the Jiankang mutiny cannot be quelled as soon as possible, Fan Yi feels that his soldiers and horses will mutiniate sooner or later.

In this way, you still want to recover Ruyin?

Thinking of this, Fan Yi waved his hand to let the servant step back and lay alone in the tent in a daze.

For example, some people in the DPRK and China slandered the generals with bad intentions, or deliberately manipulated the supply of grain and grass, so that the soldiers who fought in the front hated and returned to the division.

This time, Wang Shi went north, intending to recover Huainan in one go, and finally made a good start, and the superintendent Kong Fan was the son of heaven who advocated the Northern Expedition, which was the best situation since Wu Mingche's Northern Expedition during the Taijian period, and the result was likely to be ruined by a mutiny!

If this opportunity is not seized, I am afraid that it will not happen again in the future.

Fan Yi thought about it, but felt full of anger and had nowhere to vent, he was now in Qicheng, but he was in a dilemma.

Enter, the Ruyin defenders are very tenacious, not a moment and a half will be able to take, now Jiankang is in chaos, for the Qicheng army food and grass supply began to be unable to catch up, Fan Yi is worried about this.

retreated, waved his division back to Jiankang to quell the rebellion, but without the will of the Son of Heaven, where did Fan Yi dare to act rashly.

The Jiankang Mutiny caused such a large scale, I am afraid that there is an behind-the-scenes mastermind who is fueling the troubles, and at this time, whoever dares to return to the division without receiving the edict will immediately be regarded as a traitor and a fellow party with bad intentions.

Fan Yi turned out of the tent, first looked at the west, then at the east, and finally sighed and walked back to the big tent.
