"I don't know what the situation is in Toyoshu."

Leaving the Lingqu and boating down the Li River, looking at the long-lost Guizhou City, Han Gang suddenly remembered Fengzhou, which was thousands of miles away. The success or failure of the Battle of Fengzhou determined whether Guangxi could get enough support, and Han Gang remembered it all the way since he went south.

"Arrived in Guizhou?"

Footsteps sounded behind him. Li Fu and Chen Zhen, who had lost weight on their cheeks, staggered and went to the bow deck.

Probably not hearing Han Gang's words, their four eyes stared straight at the distant city in front of them. In an instant, his shoulders collapsed, and he looked relieved and useless, and he almost shouted, 'This journey is finally over'.

After passing Fangcheng, Han Gang and the others changed official ships. All the way south is by boat, because of the rare smooth wind, should go on more than 20 journeys of waterway, only 13 days to complete, than last year to Tanzhou to lead the troops to the south, much faster. However, except for Han Gang, everyone else didn't like the smooth sailing itinerary very much, and their faces were not very good-looking.

When the wind on the water is like a galloping horse, especially when boating on the Dongting, they encountered a strong wind, although the official boat they were riding did not capsize, and it was not a big deal for the old boatmen who walked on the water, but most of the Kansai people on the boat were frightened. There were even several people who fell ill during this trip, and it was not until they entered the stable spiritual canal that they improved somewhat.

Han Gang looked at the subordinates who got on the bow of the boat one by one, and shook his head, not for them, but worried about the five thousand soldiers and horses of the Western Army who were going south from Shuzhong. They also took a boat all the way, and the result of arriving in Guizhou would not be much better than the group of people on the boat now......

The official ship stopped at the dock, and Han Gang had already sent a message to Guizhou through the horse when he crossed the Ling Canal. Zhang Dian sent someone to the dock to greet Han Gang early. In addition, Ren Shizhong, the deputy envoy for the affairs of the Hangang Management Agency, also personally led his subordinates to greet him. Ren Shizhong also knew how much torture the boat trip on the road had brought to the Kansai people who were full of boats, and there were five or six cars sent together.

Let Li Fu and the others get into the car first, and Han Gang, who had nothing to do, and a few guards then got on their horses and marched towards the long-lost Guizhou City.

Han Gang returned to the yamen of the transfer division first, and he thought about going to visit Zhang Dian after freshening up, but he didn't expect that Zhang Dian would go to the transfer yamen in person to wait for him.

Han Gang stepped forward and saluted first, and said with a smile: "After a few months, Brother Zihou is fine." ”

After Zhang Dian returned the salute, he pulled Han Gang into the hall, drove away the idlers, and shook his head and said: "What's good, Yukun, you should have heard about it when you went south, the Khitan people came to Fengzhou." ”

Han Gang nodded, the smile on his face was bitter: "Of course! ”

Zhang Dian sighed: "At this moment, there are really only 5,000 soldiers and horses of the Western Army. The news that came to him through the horse delivery was only one step earlier than Han Gang, who was on the boat, and he arrived in Guizhou the day before. Taking it apart, Zhang Dian didn't overturn the desk, "The Khitan people really have the ability, but the number of three or five hundred is only three or five hundred, and they can contain hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses on the northern roads at once, and they can't move lightly." ”

"I can only look at Guo Kui's ability, if he can solve the matter of Fengzhou as soon as possible, maybe he can have a little more troops to go south. We'll be able to take it easy, too. ”

"Not necessarily." Zhang Dan's face was still in the frost: "There is one thing Yukun you probably don't know yet." ”

"What?" Han Gang asked. He looked at Zhang Dan's appearance, and already had an ominous premonition in his heart. It's just that if there is a big event, when he enters the city, Ren Shizhong should tell him.

Zhang Dian didn't sell it, and said it very simply: "Jiaozhi has already presented the table the day before yesterday. ”

"yes, that's really unknowing." Han Gang's pupils dilated in an instant, but his chaotic mood calmed down in an instant, and he even thought that he kept this matter a secret so well, that he didn't even know what the deputy envoy was doing.

Han Gang's extraordinary self-control ability didn't make Zhang Dian care too much, and sighed: "The envoy sent by Jiaozhi is now in Qinzhou. I've already sent their degraded tables and songs to the capital together, so I don't know what will happen to the court of the Dao Dao."

Han Gang frowned: "What about the content in the table?" ”

"It's just empty talk, and it's full of justification. It was just said that the plundered people would be returned, and the tribute would be paid in the future, and Guangyuan Prefecture would be ceded. ”

"Even if it's such a table, what are you worried about, Brother Zihou?"

"What do you say you are for?" Zhang Dian asked directly, and after looking at Han Gang stunned for a moment, he looked speechless. With a smile on his face: "By the way, they also found the culprit." ”

"Isn't it Jiayue?" Han Gang still remembers who was to blame for the crime in the inscriptions circulated during the invasion of Jiaozhi.

"Of course not, it's Xu Baixiang." Zhang Dian said to Han Gang, who was frowning and thinking hard, "It's a poor talent, according to the Jiaozhi table, Xu Baixiang wrote a letter to persuade them to send troops." ”

"What a skill." Han Gang was furious in his heart, but he laughed out loud, "A talent who is not the first to show can let them send troops to attack Yongzhou." If I say the last sentence, will I be able to let them fight to Liaoyang Mansion in Liao State?! ”

Zhang Dian said hatefully: "Yukun, don't say angry words. It was this one Xu Baixiang who offered a plan to attack the city. Otherwise, Yongzhou City would not have been breached so easily. ”

"That's him!" A green aura flashed across Han Gang's face, and he raised his fist and slammed his backhand on the several cases next to the chair: "This person should be cut with a thousand knives!" ”

Han Gang's angry shouts erupted with the sound of wood breaking, and the good cases actually punched him in two pieces, and the cups on the cases were also shattered.

Zhang Dian was shocked in his heart, he had always known that Han Gang's martial arts were definitely among the top few among the Wenchen. Unexpectedly, in a fit of rage, he would be able to punch and break the table made of fine flowers and trees.

The guards guarding the door rushed in, Zhang Dian waved their hands to let them out, turned around and asked with concern, "Yukun, are your hands okay?" ”

Han Gang rubbed his sore bone joints and shook his head: "It's okay." He asked anxiously, "Has this person been caught?!" ”

"He has been put in prison, he is well raised, and there are people watching him day and night, and he will never be let die before the Ming canonical punishment." Zhang Dian gritted his teeth when he spoke, and he also hated this traitor.

"When the decree of the imperial court comes, I will kill him in front of the Loyal and Brave Temple!" Han Gang hated. shook his head, put away his temper, and got back to business: "There is a family in the court, and with the temperament of the Son of Heaven, such a reduction is definitely not eye-catching, and I am afraid that several other rulers will make trouble from it." ”

"We can only send troops as soon as possible." Zhang Dian said his plan, "As soon as the five thousand soldiers and horses from the two roads of Qin Fengjing Yuan arrive, they will start to move south, and before that, let the Jingnan army of Yongzhou go to Yongping Village on the border." ”

Han Gang's eyebrows wrote another Sichuan character: "They also take a boat all the way, and they have to rest for at least half a month, otherwise they won't be able to recover at all." ”

"Brother Fool also wrote a note, it won't be a problem to drag it out for two months, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to take it any longer."

"Two months is enough." Han Gang laughed, "Since the imperial court only gave five thousand soldiers and horses, the weapons and weapons are all according to the total number, and they will soon be transported to Lingnan." With these militaristic weapons, make a big victory first! ”

"Now we can sit back and watch the situation in the north change." Zhang's mood was also a little lighter. There is a big victory in hand, looking at the imminent destruction of Jiaozhi, the Son of Heaven will squeeze out people even if he squeezes it, "I don't know what the current situation in Fengzhou is, there should be a result." ”

……………………

The results were certainly too good to be true.

Although the main force of the party members voluntarily abandoned Fengzhou City under the leadership of Wei Ming Ah Wu, Guo Kui still made a great victory of beheading 2,000, including more than 400 Khitan iron cavalry from the Xijing Dao Pi Room Army.

And Zhi Keshi, who made great contributions in the victory of Fengzhou, has been recruited into the palace by the Son of Heaven and personally asked him about the process of meritorious service.

"When the ministers heard the alarm from the sentinels, all the people who pushed the carts immediately left the official road, hid in the mountains and forests on both sides of the official road, and threw the wheelbarrow all over the ground."

Zhao Ji interrupted Zhi Keshi's narration: "This is a trap, right?" ”

"Your Majesty is wise." Zhi Keshi nodded: "The people who pushed the cart were actually dressed up by the forbidden army, and they also carried a divine arm bow on their bodies, and when they entered the mountains and forests, they immediately gathered to block the retreat of the leather room army. And the car is also full of flammable hay, and there are also smoke-emitting poisons such as sulfur, arsenic, wolf venom, and croton, which are specially used to smoke horses. ”

"What's next?" Zhao Ji was in high spirits, and even the chief executive in the Chongzheng Palace, and even the inner servants and Ban Zhi were also listening attentively.

can completely annihilate 400 leather room troops in one go, which is comparable to 4,000 iron harriers. After all, it is the leather room army of the Great Liao Emperor, and the elite of the same level as the Upper Fourth Army of the Great Song Dynasty and the Sanitation Iron Cavalry of the Western Xia.

"The first to appear was a group of Iron Harriers, and the minister commanded the headquarters disguised as a baggage guard in front of them. This time, Xiao Yaoshinu still followed the old method, the Iron Harrier attacked first to attract the attention of our army, and the leather room army attacked from behind. As long as they cooperate well, they will succeed twice, and even if they fail, the leather room army can run away. But this time, the minister has been waiting for a long time. ”

Really speaking, after the fact, it can be adjusted and repeatedly scrutinized. That group of leather room troops must have been framed by their allies. Otherwise, with the temper of Xiao Yaoshinu, the main general who led the leather room army before, he should have left when he saw that the situation was not good, how could he be bitten by the reinforcements who came from behind and couldn't get out. It is not surprising that they were stabbed in the back by the party members on the battlefield and never cared about the actions of their comrades.

But it is impossible to say this to the Son of Heaven and the Zaifu, and with a clear voice, the process that has been modified will be narrated in the Chongzheng Palace.
