Just outside this Beijing division, to the north is a river, and in dozens of canopy boats, the elite of each warrior battalion is ready to go.

Although there were only 500 people, most of them were veterans who followed Chen Kaizhi from birth to death, and when Chen Kaizhi arrived at the dock and boarded an inconspicuous canopy boat, there were already more than 30 people on this boat.

The captain of the boat is very chosen, in addition, there are more than a dozen oarsman wrestlers, all of whom are elites, and they are people he trusts.

Seeing Chen Kaizhi, the officers and soldiers on the ship came out of the canopy one after another to salute, Chen Kaizhi smiled at them and waved his hand gently: "No need to be polite." ”

He looked at everyone, these officers and soldiers were wearing the cotton armor of the rebel army for land and water inspection, in fact, the rebel's armor was no different from the armor of the official army.

The only difference is that almost every officer and soldier carries two short guns, which imitate a revolver, which can fire six times in a row, but compared with long guns, although these short guns can be fired continuously, the practicability on the battlefield is not strong, because the range is not far, and the power is not enough, and the effective range is only thirty or forty steps.

However, this time the surprise attack, the advantages of such a short gun can be brought into play.

In addition, each person prepared three hand bullets to ensure firepower.

The officers and soldiers seem to be eager to try, after all, they are carefully selected from the warrior battalion, and now, Chen Kaizhi has become the son of heaven, so that the warrior battalion has more hope, and now with the raid of His Majesty, it is His Majesty who personally takes the lead, once he has made a contribution, the future is limitless.

Naturally, they are very enthusiastic, and they know that this trip is very thrilling, but they are already mentally prepared, no matter how difficult it is, they will move forward bravely.

The biggest shortcoming of the warrior battalion now is pride, after all, over the years, it can be called a hundred victories, up and down the battalion, quite a bit arrogant atmosphere, but this is both a shortcoming, but also an advantage, if Chen Kaizhi transferred people from other battalions, I am afraid that as soon as they heard the order, they will be like earth, crying dad and mother, you know, this is a thousand miles of surprise attack, no reinforcements, can be called nine deaths, but the warrior battalion, but is known for its belligerence, they are not half a person hesitated, but they all want to insert their wings into the pass.

Chen Kaizhi glanced around at everyone, and then smiled faintly: "It's hard work, the purpose of the battle, as well as the tactics and regulations in this entry, you must have been familiar with it, right?" Now we will wait for the departure, the night after tomorrow, we will arrive at the waters of Mengjin, and at that time, since someone has picked us up, and when we have landed, we must not stop, do not give the other party any time to react, and attack Chang'an, I repeat, after going ashore, will be non-stop, maybe within twelve hours, there will be no rest, not even a break between meals, so, on the ship, you must eat and drink enough, and also nourish your spirit. ”

"Humble understood." Everyone responded with a bang, and everyone was in good spirits.

Chen Kaizhi was embarrassed: "Silence, the voice is quieter, this is a secret operation, don't shout loudly, everything listens to the signal and acts like a sentry, right now, it is a military operation, red tape, all canceled, what it should be like in the army, it is what it looks like." ”

Chen Kaizhi was talking, but found a very familiar figure in the crowd.

Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but be stunned, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Wuji?" ”

Chen Wuji hid in the crowd and hurriedly stepped forward: "I've seen the imperial brother." ”

Chen Kaizhi looked surprised, although Wuji had gone to the warrior camp, but this surprise attack, the selection was all elite, how could Chen Wuji be selected as a new soldier.

Chen Kaizhi was silent, the boat had already opened at this time, because it was sailing against the current, so the speed of the boat was not fast, Chen Kaizhi was almost ready to explain, and he arrived at the stern, Chen Wuji knew that the imperial brother had something to ask himself, and he was busy chasing after him.

Chen Kaizhi looked back, glanced at Chen Wuji in a military uniform, and asked a little angrily, "Who asked you to come?" ”

"Uncle Huang."

This imperial uncle, who else can there be, it must be Chen Yixing, Chen Kaizhi immediately understood, Chen Wuji's identity is extremely embarrassing, this time Chen Kaizhi is indeed taking risks, but once Chen Kaizhi has any mistakes, then Chen Wuji may become the source of turmoil, after all, he is the remnant of the sons, it is impossible to inherit the unification, even so, it is better to simply follow Chen Kai.

Chen Kaizhi shook his head and smiled: "Our imperial uncle is really painstaking." ”

Chen Wuji said with a smile: "Actually, the younger brother is also willing to come, and together with the imperial brother, his heart is also more steady." ”

This is what he said in his heart, with Chen Kaizhi, even if he dies, he feels that it is worth it.

Chen Kaizhi nodded and said lightly to him.

"It's good to come, everyone in the world looks at you with strange eyes, if that's the case, then make a contribution, let them see, no matter what your background, you have made the same achievements, but when you come to your side, you have to be extremely careful, you should be my guard, and you must never leave my side."

Guards...... Chen Kaizhi protects him almost as well, and I'm afraid I can't count on the guards to protect him.

Chen Wuji hurriedly said: "Okay, everything is arranged by the imperial brother." ”

At this time, he naturally listened to Chen Kaizhi, after all, he had no experience, and this time it was very risky, so he naturally had to follow Chen Kaizhi's side, protect Chen Kaizhi, and not let Chen Kaizhi have any mistakes.

Chen Kaizhi saw that Chen Wuji had no objections, so he was silent, and a pair of eyes as clear as water watched the boat go up against the water, and the scenery on the shore slowly retreated.

This attack is indeed an adventure, but Chen Kaizhi has long been accustomed to adventure, and every step he takes is thrilling, and there is no smooth sailing life in this world.

Now, although he is the Son of Heaven, Chen Kaizhi still understands that there are too many facts to do, and the countless ills of more than 500 years have already made this Chen seriously ill, and the people are miserable, the world is divided, and the internal situation may not be as stable as Chen Kaizhi imagined, and all such things cannot be swept away by Chen Kaizhi himself.

Today...... This remnant of the Yang family in the guanzhong should be his first fire.

Between the two days, the sky is dark, it is only midnight at this time, the moon is reflected on the turbid river, dozens of boats, all the way to the west, at this time, has entered the sea of Mengjin, and then, a Kong Ming lantern has risen up, illuminating the night sky.

Chen Kaizhi rested enough, in the black tent, the elites of the warrior battalion were also full of energy, and they checked their weapons and the water and dry food they carried for the last time, except for the sound of the water, it was a deathly silence.

"Someone's coming."

Someone shouted lightly.

Sure enough, head-on, a boat came head-on towards Chen Kaizhi's canopy boat, the two boats intersected, and there was a person on the boat who jumped directly on the canopy boat, he was thin, and by the light on the canopy boat, he saw a face full of ravine vicissitudes, this person said in a low voice: "Who is the person who came, Zhang Ming, the waterway inspector of Mengjin County...... Seen the general. ”

Chen Kai stepped forward.

Zhang Ming seemed to feel that Chen Kaizhi's youth was excessive: "I don't know who the general is?" ”

Behind him, a warrior battalion military attache scolded: "This is Your Majesty. ”

Zhang Ming was taken aback, he was still a little drumming in his heart, thinking that the other party had sent such a young general to lead the team, but he was afraid that this surprise attack was quite a bit child's play, and he took the risk to come to respond, if the surprise attack was not successful, he would have no place to die.

Listen to this person...... Your Majesty...... Zhang Ming was stunned for a moment, looking a little unconvinced, his eyes widened slightly, wanting to look at Chen Kaizhi, but he didn't dare to look directly.

"Are you Zhang Ming?" Chen Kaizhi looked at Zhang Ming, who was surprised under the night, and couldn't help but smile lightly.

Zhang Ming came back to his senses at this time, he knew that it was Chen Kaizhi who ascended the throne, he was young and experienced in a hundred battles, at this time he finally determined Chen Kaizhi's identity, and hurriedly bowed down: "Minister Zhang Ming, I have seen Your Majesty, the guilty minister has no form, and ten thousand deaths." ”

Chen Kaizhi waved his hand at him, and said with a light smile: "Don't be polite, now is the very time, there is no need for false courtesy, don't worry, if you can break through the pass this time, not only will I not care about your previous guilt, but I will also give you a generous gift, you get up, what is the situation now?" ”

Zhang Ming got up, looking a little cramped, but still said: "The situation in Chang'an, the criminal ministers don't know anything, but here in Mengjin, the guard of the waterway has been strengthened, but the Yang family has expected that the army of the imperial court must be attacking by land, Luoyang is in the downstream of Chang'an, even if it is advanced by land and water, it cannot come from the waterway on a large scale, therefore, although three thousand military horses have been allocated to patrol nearby, and a few waterway inspections have been ordered to strengthen the inspection, but there are no measures, and now Chang'an still has soldiers and horses from various prefectures, They were all assembled at Hangu Pass. ”

Chen Kaizhi nodded, Zhang Ming's report was basically consistent with Jinyiwei's secret report: "I have already seen the rebel layout map you secretly sent, have you changed it?" ”

"No, Mengjin is not a heavy place, and the arrangement of the battalions has not been new recently."

Chen Kaizhi nodded lightly and said, "That's fine." "If there is an abnormal transfer, Chen Kaizhi may even directly abandon this plan, or he needs to redeploy.

In order to succeed this plan, Jin Yiwei and Zhang Ming sent a lot of news, the terrain from Mengjin to Chang'an, the location of each battalion, and several paths to Chang'an City, astronomical and geographical reports, and countless reports. And here in the warrior battalion, before setting off, almost every soldier also has his own tactical task, which way to march, after encountering the thief army, who is responsible for breaking the rear, who is responsible for the assault, who is responsible for escorting, after many military attaché meetings again and again, it was finally determined.

And all this comes from the fact that the rebels have not redeployed.

Chen Kaizhi glanced at Zhang Ming, and said lightly: "Then, please inspect Zhang and take us to land." ”
