Twelve red-robed, open-minded trumpeters puffed out their chests at the same time and blew the horns in their hands vigorously.

The sound coming from the horn is long and loud, with a stirring force, so that the chests of people who hear the sound of the horn resonate together.

The sound of the horn sounded for a long time, and then stopped with a leisurely end. A moment later, it blew again. It rang three times in a row, and it lingered endlessly on the strange mountains and beautiful waters outside the city of Guizhou. It was more like throwing a torch in the oil-soaked firewood and grass, and the atmosphere in the city that had been gloomy for a long time due to the war immediately burned,

The people in the city poured out of the city one after another, and the city was full of people, and the crowd of people was even more than the night of Shangyuan in the old year, and everyone was so excited that it was indescribable.

"Reinforcements are coming!"

"Master Wang is here!"

In the cheers, the word 'chapter' was the first to play, and the name of the new Guangxi Economic Strategy was revealed. Immediately, Li Xin's flags were also raised, and then one after another battle flags were unfurled on the bow of the ship, hunting in the river breeze, and moved to the dock. With their respective battle flags, the 1,500 elite soldiers and strong generals in the Jingnan Army were brightly dressed and armored, and one by one they came out of the cabin.

The armor and weapons on his body were distributed when he disembarked. And the soldiers who were sick were all moved to the last boat, so that they would not be affected by the gorgeous appearance used to calm people's hearts and deter thieves.

A strong army of more than 1,000 soldiers wearing armor and armed with knives and guns was on the dock by the Li River, showing off to the people of Guizhou City.

Countless people cheered at the procession, which was only 1,500 people. How many people bowed down to the north and shouted long live to the Son of Heaven who sent reinforcements to save them.

Since Zhang Shoujie's entire army was wiped out at Kunlun Pass, the city of Guizhou has been shocked overnight. Guizhou City has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians, but they are afraid that the Jiaozhi thief army will be killed under the city at any time. The gates of the city were opened only three hours a day, at noon, and before three hours. Even if there were thieves looting houses outside the city in broad daylight these days, the defenders in the city did not dare to fight, but only dared to watch from the top of the city, allowing the thieves to return with a full load

The horn sounded again, and they lined up in a strict line, followed by Zhang Dian, Han Gang, and Li Xin, who had stepped on their horses, and walked from the dock to the city.

In the short journey from the dock to the city, they received countless cheers. Almost for the first time, the soldiers who had received such a warm welcome blushed with excitement, raised their feet even more arrogantly, and stomped the ground.

This march is far from the general level of military parades in later generations, and it is not as majestic and bold as the Western Army, which has just come down from the battlefield, singing victory songs and returning triumphantly. However, the army that has seen blood in battle, and the majestic appearance when marching is enough to deter more than 100,000 officials, soldiers and civilians in Guizhou City.

With patience, he used a mighty military parade to calm the hearts of the military and the people in Guangxi. When Zhang Dian and Han Gang came to the White Tiger Festival Hall of the Prefecture Yabian Courtyard together, they returned to reality.

In the White Tiger Festival Hall, Liu Yi's figure is no longer there. Packing up, waiting for Zhang Dian to hand over to him when he is free, and then going north to wait for the guilt, is what he can do now.

Among the officials, Zhang Dan had the highest position, far above Li Pingyi, who was only the transfer envoy of Si Fenglang. He went out as a Hanlin Bachelor and changed to a Longtu Pavilion Bachelor, and nominally he was still the top boss of Han Gang of the Longtu Pavilion Straight Pavilion.

"The news of the arrival of reinforcements in Guangxi must have gotten out, but it is not enough. Outside, it is necessary to publicize as much as possible, saying that the imperial court has mobilized 130,000 troops to come to the aid of the starry night, and the 5,000 people who have just arrived are only the vanguards, and the rest will arrive one after another. ”

If Zhang Dian said it, Li Pingyi would definitely not dare to question it, but Han Gang, the deputy, as a transfer envoy, couldn't help but say a few words, "Thief is suspicious, Li Changjie may not believe it when he hears this rumor." I heard that when he was in the army of Li Foma, he used a trick to capture the king of Champa alive, which can be regarded as a slight wisdom. ”

"I don't believe it's better to let him go. This is said to the barbarians of Guangyuan Prefecture and the leaders of the Xidong of the left and right rivers. "After arriving in Guizhou, Zhang Dian and Han Gang have been together for so many days, and they have already discussed it," the Economic Strategy Department is going to post a notice today. On both sides of the left and right rivers, the tribes who dared to rebel, the king division swept the holes in the plough court and eradicated them by the roots. And those who lead the way for the king, the court will not hesitate to reward! ”

"This is to divide the enemy and the hearts of thieves." Han Gang explained, "The first goal is always to cross the fingers, first sweep the Shenglong Mansion, and then deal with the tribes that dare to rebel, step by step." ”

Li Ping was dumbfounded when he heard this, and Zhang Dian and Han Gang's attitude towards Jiaozhi to destroy this dynasty made him think further, "Has the Southern Expedition Camp been established?!" ”

"Not yet, but soon. The Son of Heaven was furious, and millions of corpses were ambushed. How can he be worthy of the thunder and wrath of the Son of Heaven if he dares to invade China, destroy his country and burn his royal capital. ”

"To open peace for all generations, if you don't sweep away the four wildernesses, where will the peace come from."

Li Ping blinked, and for a moment, he thought that the two people in front of him were Shen Qi and Liu Yi.

Zhang Duan raised his eyes and glanced at Li Pingyi and saw through his thoughts: "Yukun and I both have the right to act cheaply. ”

Li Pingyi, who was about to speak, immediately closed his mouth tightly.

"What about Yongzhou?" Li Xin pointed to the sand table.

In the center of the White Tiger Festival Hall, there is a sand table that is now popular - in almost every strategy division, the sand table is now indispensable, whether you like military or not, any strategy envoy looking at the land under his rule will inevitably have an inexplicable pleasure. However, Guangxi's topographic sand table is very rough and far less fine than that of Kansai. But the location of towns, roads, and mountains is generally not wrong.

They are now in Guizhou, more than a thousand miles away from Yongzhou City on the shore of the Zuojiang River. This distance will take nearly half a month even if it is a rapid march, and it is necessary to be on guard against the possible ambush of the enemy army at any time, and the speed of the march will only be slower. It is impossible to constantly change horses in the post station, and you can run four or five hundred miles a day.

"It's a pity that you can't take the waterway." Han Gang was very sorry. Through the rough representation on the sand table, it can be found that many tributaries of the Pearl River connect many military states in Guangxi. In fact, you can also reach Yongzhou by waterway from Guizhou, but you can first go down the water to Xunzhou, and then go up the river, to go around more than a thousand miles of road, and half of the journey has to rely on the help of slender men. When the Jiaozhi thief army besieged Yongzhou, it was of course impossible to take the waterway.

"From Guizhou to Yongzhou in the south, you can also use the waterway in the first half, but you have to walk a lot of mountain roads further down, and it is very troublesome to just go through Kunlun Pass." Zhang Dian will not pray that Li Changjie will make Nong Zhigao's mistake and want to successfully kill Kunlun Pass, either he has retreated back to China, or he will have a bloody battle with the thief army occupying Kunlun Pass.

"Guizhou should have urgently recruited a group of recruits these days." Zhang Dian turned his gaze to Li Pingyi.

"Eight thousand." Li Ping reported the number, and hurriedly added, "But they are all recruits who are not used to holding bows and knives, and most of the soldiers and horses that are still usable have died in Kunlun Pass with Zhang Shoujie, and the rest are more than 3,100 veterans." ”

"Leave them down to guard Guizhou, Yukun, you and Li Xin will take a thousand Jingnan soldiers and horses as a vanguard to Pennsylvania. Wait a little time, and I will lead the army to join you. ”

This is also the plan drawn up by Han Gang and Zhang Dian Sight. Han Gang will go to Penn first to see if he can have a chance to rescue Yongzhou, and if he is lucky, he may be able to scare Li Changjie away. If it doesn't work, the preparations for the military transport division will be made first in Pennsylvania.

And Zhang Dian took the lead in rectifying the government affairs in Guizhou City, and only he, the economic envoy, had enough status to suppress the city. When Guizhou settles down, Zhang Dian will take the main force in the road to the south together, and use Yongzhou as a base to start a counteroffensive plan.

"Dare to ask the envoy, what is the situation of Pennsylvania's grain and straw?" Han Gang asked very politely, but Li Pingyi didn't dare to attack. If there is a northward invasion, Liu Yi will definitely be finished, and the fate of his Li Pingyi is actually in the hands of Zhang Dian and Han Gang.

Fang Cai Zhangdun had already expressed his support for Han Gang, and also made it clear that both of them were given the power to act cheaply, and Li Pingyi did not dare to put the score of the transfer envoy. In the court, he has no way to compare with the son-in-law and cronies of the prime minister of the dynasty. And from his own vital interests, he also wants to save Yongzhou.

"Pennsylvania and Xiangzhou have 10,000 or 20,000 stone of grain."

"Real numbers are still numbers in the books." Han Gang bit tightly, the numbers in the account book were inaccurate, just like the names in the military registration book, how many were ghosts that never existed, they couldn't be explained, and they were far from the reality.

"In Pennsylvania at the end of last fall, I checked Pennsylvania's grain depot, which was originally 73,000 stones, but in fact it was only 21,000. Therefore, I also participated in the first book of the governor of Pennsylvania, and now I have been escorted to Beijing to wait for trial. ”

"So one or two thousand stones in Xiangzhou is also a real number?"

"The situation on both sides should be similar, I guessed from Pennsylvania's grain stockpiles. In the books of Xiangzhou it was fifty-seven thousand. ”

The grain of the two states combined was 30,000 or 40,000 quintals, which was enough to support an army of 20,000 to fight for two months. No matter how much, it will have to rely on the rear for transshipment - Guizhou, and even Jinghu two roads.

Han Gang came out of the White Tiger Festival Hall, and the sky was already full of stars. The stars and moon, which were obscured by thick clouds yesterday, shine with eternal brilliance in the clear canopy of Yuyu today. The stars in the south are different from those in the north. The North Star, clearly visible in the night sky of Kaifeng, has already set behind the mountains to the north. In the night sky to the south, there are many stars that northerners have never seen once.

It's going to take a few more days! Han Gang's gaze fell from the starry sky to the mountains to the south. Behind those mountains, there should still be Su Mian and his Yongzhou soldiers and civilians. A lonely city that has been holding out for a month and a half in the dominant army of the Jiaozhi people. Compared with other walled cities that can be broken in one attack, Yongzhou City's persistence is admirable no matter who judges it.

The words in my heart came out of my mouth and were sent into the night wind, "But it will last a few more days......"
