After taking it for a short time beside the Junchuan River, Liu Xiu rode back to the camp.

As soon as they returned to the camp, the assigned soldiers and horses were in place.

Liu Xiu summoned Ren Guang, Fu Jun, Zhao Hui, Ma Wu and other generals to come. He ordered Ma Wu to do a good job in the supply of horses, equipment, etc., and also received the preparation of gunpowder, firecrackers and other materials for his own use.

Ordered Ma Wu to select 1,000 sturdy war horses with 500 heavy cavalry, the standard equipment is full of iron armor for men and horses, two long knives for each person, with ghost masks, and practice the tactics of sprinting and raiding, mostly training in muddy swamps.

Ling Wang Ba led 1,500 cavalry, each with a quiver and a large number of arrows, only Gekai, a short knife for close combat, and practiced the art of shooting on weekdays.

Fu Jun led 1,000 light cavalry, each equipped with a long knife, wearing only cloth armor, and practiced the art of pursuit.

He also summoned General Zhu You to come and handed over some confidential matters.

After explaining, they will disperse until the third watch, Liu Xiu extinguished the last candle and fell asleep.

When you close your eyes, the blackness gradually takes over the field of vision, and the light fades, leaving only a few cicadas and the cries of unknown beasts in the distance.

The sound is getting farther and farther away, and the black gradually has a color, densely like a starry sky, the changing starry sky.

The starry sky still repeats all kinds of images, just like dreams in the past.

With a crisp rooster crow, Liu Xiu opened his eyes.

Despite having the same dream, this time, Liu Xiu did not dream of that distorted face and woke up safely.

Today's breakfast, steamed buns, and porridge are already on the table.

After a period of washing, a herald came, Liu Xiu simply tidied up, put on his armor, and went to the green forest military camp with Li Yi as agreed, and Liu Yan also got up to see him off.

Along the way, except for Liu Xiu and Li Yi, there were only more than a dozen guards to send each other.

Li Yi is a native of Wancheng County, Nanyang County. It was originally a son of the powerful Li family in Wancheng, Wang Mang was in turmoil, and Li Yi and his brother and Liu Yan and Liu Xiu raised troops together. At the beginning, Li Yi took a fancy to the Liu brothers' broad mind of being tolerant and accepting all kinds of personnel, but since cooperating with the Green Forest Army, Li Yi took a fancy to the strength of the Green Forest Army, and was instantly rebelled by Zhu Kun, the general of the Green Forest Army, and became a chess piece planted in Liu Yan's army, which directly led to Liu Yan's death in his previous life.

The morning had just arrived, and everyone's fatigue had not yet disappeared, and they still felt a little drowsy. The same is true for Li Yi, his long-term Infernal Affairs career made him a little unbearable, he was offended at both ends, and finally died unclear, the Green Forest Army was powerful, and Liu Yan would finish playing sooner or later, so he still had to hurry up and make contributions.

As soon as Li Yi thought of this, he saw Liu Xiu next to him staring at him, his eyes were deep and fateful, as if he had seen through his thoughts. He was about to speak to divert Liu Xiu's gaze that made him feel weird, but Liu Xiu spoke first. "General Li, go forward, Xiu has some things to discuss with you." As he spoke, he gave the horse a whip, and the horse was in pain, and in a few moments he distanced himself from the guards.

Li Yi also added a whip and caught up.

Liu Xiu looked at the guards in the rear, and said to Li Yi: "Has Ji Wen heard about a strange thing recently?"

This deputy marshal of the Chung Ling Army always has a sense of mystery that makes him unpredictable.

"I want to hear about it." Li Yi wanted to see what kind of medicine was sold in General Liu's gourd.

"A while ago, a top-secret informant I planted in Chang'an reported that the Chang'an jade seal was lost." Liu Xiu said with an inquiring look in his eyes.

This is earth-shattering news, the jade seal is a national treasure, Li Yi was so surprised that his mouth grew up, but he was still a little suspicious.

"General, don't be joking, this jade seal is a symbol of the country's social heritage, a priceless treasure, how could Wang Mang let it be lost, and if it is lost, why is there no other news coming?"

"How can there be jokes in the army, I, an informant, have been in business for a long time, and I have hidden it deeply, there will be no mistake in the informant report to me, the jade seal has indeed been lost, Wang Mang usurped the throne not long ago, and he was afraid that the people's hearts would be unstable, so he secretly blocked the news."

Li Yi said: "Yes, but where can such a precious thing as a jade seal go?" ”

Liu Xiudao: "According to the report of the spies, this thing was taken away by Wang Yi and Wang Xun, and now it is in the military tent in Wang Yi. Wang Yi Wang Xun's southern expedition was not as simple as fighting with our army. ”

Li Yi said: "Are you saying that they want to abandon Wang Mang and set themselves up as kings?" ”

Liu Xiudao: "That's right, Wang Mang killed the ministers indiscriminately, and everyone was already in danger, and the second king went south this time, and he also wanted to find a new base and support the army to stand on his own." ”

Li Yi said: "What does the general mean? ”

Liu Xiudao: "This news has not yet been known by the Red Eyebrow Bronze Horse, and this time the joint green forest sent troops, obviously to save Kunyang, but it is actually to seize the jade seal, so wait for us to go to the account to meet the first emperor, and we must not give him the idea of sending troops to Wang Yi's army." ”

Li Yi said: "I understand. ”

On the surface, Li Yi was secretly laughing in his heart, Liu Xiu, this kid is really a little tender, how can something like the jade seal of the country be eaten by your Liu family brothers, fortunately, I am witty, and I have already taken refuge in the Green Forest Army Zhu Kun, and when I get there, I must tell General Zhu about this.

Just now, I was still worried about my defenselessness, but now Liu Xiu actually sent it to the door, it really didn't take any effort to come.

"Don't worry, my Lao Li has followed your Liu family brothers to raise troops so far, and I will keep my mouth shut no matter what!" Li Yi also specially added a sentence.

"That'll be fine." Liu Xiu also smiled.

The tents of the two armies were not far away, and they arrived at the camp of the Green Forest Army in a while.
