78 Time is everything

The generals and strategists in front of the big tent of the Chinese army were still racking their brains to guess, and suddenly saw Cao Zheng and Wang Pu walking towards Taishi Feng like a prisoner on a death row, and they were all shocked. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This time, although Feng Dao did not have an official position in front of the army, he was invited by Guo Wei to help him as an amateur, but everyone knew that he was the real "chief of staff" of the entire forbidden army this time. With his endorsement, of course, this statement that Tongguan is in danger was immediately able to overcome public opinion, not to mention that Wang Qiwu, who won the first place in the spring of that year, and Cao Shuzhi, who "knows Chengyuan best", seconded the proposal. Although a few people disagreed, thinking that Li Shouzhen must still be in the river and preparing to surrender, Guo Wei was too lazy to explain to them in the Chinese army.

Guo Wei decided: There is no need to consider other filings at all. He first ordered Li Chongxun to be detained immediately, and let the Holy Protector Army stay in the river with the Shaanxi Army, and the command was temporarily handed over to Bai Wenke. Guo Dashuai asked him to only monitor the movements in the city and never attack the city. He led the main forces of the Fengguo Army and the Xingjie Army to the south immediately.

He also ordered the Xingjie Army to gather a cavalry capital, and according to Guo Rong's suggestion, let Qiu Feihu, the head of the capital sect, temporarily serve as the capital soldier and horse envoy, and then the Holy Protector Army also issued a cavalry capital, and the advance army of the two capitals should be under the command of Guo Wei's nephew Li Chongjin, the head of the cavalry of the Holy Protector Army.

They wanted to rush to Fenglingdu as soon as possible with these 3,000 light horsemen to confirm that the ships collected by the forbidden army when they crossed north had not yet left. It was indeed a little reluctant for 3,000 cavalry to travel more than 40 miles in one day to Tongguan for supplies, so they took 4,000 horses so that they could rotate their mounts at any time on the road, so as to ensure speed and save the horses' foot strength and avoid a large number of deaths. Since the military horses in the river have been dedicated to the forbidden army, not only are there no shortage of horses, but they can also be selected to be slightly stronger, Qiu Feihu has picked some masters of horses, this job is simply a piece of cake.

Although Chang Si, who guarded Tongguan, would keep an eye on the situation at Fengling Ferry and watch these requisitioned civilian ships, it was difficult for his subordinates to ensure that there were no greedy beetles who secretly bribed a small number of ships and then lied to their superiors, or even secretly used these ships to go out of the dock to transport private goods to their own trading points. Therefore, Li Chongjin and Qiu Feihu wanted to hold the order of the commander-in-chief of the forbidden army, and asked him to quickly confirm that all kinds of ships were in place to save some time......

After the two horsemen set off first, Guo Wei's 30,000 elite soldiers were to officially start in the afternoon and march south.

At dawn, Zhang Qiu, the staff officer of the Qin army who delivered the letter, was still anxiously waiting for the reply of the Chinese army, but saw that the forbidden army was in a hurry, and it seemed that he was about to pack up his things and set off. This surprise is not trivial:

"General Zhang? Where is General Zhang? Zhang Qiu is still looking for Zhang Yongde. Just as he was about to open the curtain of the military tent, Zhang Yongde had already grabbed it in a few steps.

Zhang Qiu saw that it was almost dawn, so he hurriedly urged: "General, if the medicine has been found, then you have to return to your life as soon as possible, you must know that Guo Yan's body can't be delayed any longer, and his breath is still ......."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Yongde had already taken out a cloth wrapped in hemp kernels and gagged his mouth tightly.

"Tie me up!"

Zhang Qiu has been running back and forth between the river and Lintong for the past few days, and at this time, he was tired and frightened, and simply fainted......

…………………………………………………………………………

At the end of September of the first year of Qianyou, Li Shouzhen's army of 50,000 marched for three days and had crossed Huayin to Huazhou, which was already "close at hand" from Tongguan.

Zhang Qiu flew to report to the forbidden army besieging the city in the river at the speed of the fast horse, and it was a day and a half when he went, and when he returned, because he was facing the Qin army advancing from Lintong, it stands to reason that he should have met within a day, so Zhang Qiu should have appeared a long time ago.

Li Shouzhen knew that there were two possibilities for the matter: first, it was difficult for the forbidden army to find this medicine, and the matter was delayed; Second, the news leaked, and Guo Wei sensed the danger of Tongguan.

Li Shouzhen was originally going to repair in Huazhou for half a day, but at this time, Hanging Eyes Lang found that he couldn't rest! He also wondered if there would be any mystery in Zhao Pu's original painting, so he let people draw this little flower with his original impression. However, the angles of the petals and branches of the flower in the impression painting have been misplaced, so since the mystery cannot be reproduced, Li Shouzhen is of course even more impossible to come up with the mystery......

Chengyuan also knew that it was impossible for the forbidden army to really prepare this medicine, so no matter whether the mystery was solved or not, whether Guo Wei could get his own meaning or not, Zhang Qiu might not come back.

Since Li Shouzhen gave up repairing and continued to rush the whole army, Chengyuan and Guo Rong knew that there was no point in delaying time, so Guo Rong could finally end pretending to be sick, and Lang Zhong of the puppet Qin Army Pharmacy thought that he had really cured the incurable disease that had been difficult to solve for thousands of years, so he rejoiced for a long time.

Cheng and Guo have been following the part of the army that is behind, and they don't know what the situation is in front of. Zhao Pu stayed behind for some reason, looking for opportunities to contact them at any time, and always took care of the two of them......

Zhao Pu also has a ridiculous task, that is, to help Li Shouzhen take care of the doormen raised in the river - nearly 2,000 high-rollers.

Most of the people in this vote are all kinds of Jianghu associations, and there are various "heads", "hall masters", and "sect masters" in them, as well as many dart walkers. Li Shouzhen has paid great attention to his relationship with these underworld since many years ago, there was such a legend: Li Shouzhen treated the heroes well, when the Khitan entered the Kou, Li Shouzhen led the army out of Lanzhou, that time was also to grab the Yellow River crossing, this group of heroes desperately helped, and the captives of the pioneer were drowned and retreated.

However, some people also said behind their backs that since the Khitans were attacked when they crossed the river, even without the help of these heroes, of course they would be in chaos and retreat......

What's more, in the end, Li Shouzhen didn't surrender to Liaobang and did a "puppet army"?

In addition, Qin Quanjun rushed so quickly, the most dissatisfied was actually the "Divine Monk" Master Zonglun and the woman he brought to "gather yin qi", so day and night, the master could only take a break for an hour or two on the army road to choose the opportunity to "royal girl", he did not dare to give advice to the pseudo-Qin king, and could only complain to the people who were nagging and complaining......

Zhao Puzheng is talking to Guo Rong about the current situation: "There is always such an unreliable "master" around you who plays with women all day long, do you think about how the heroes of the rivers and lakes who are busy on the road every day and have nowhere to disperse are in the evil fire? Both of them and Chengyuan rode on horses and hurried with the mighty Qin army.

Guo Rong smiled: "According to what you say, these heroes may be able to be used by me?" ”

Chengyuan knows that it depends on the timing of the rebellion against these heroes, and you must let them see that there is hope for success in the rebellion, and the most critical point is, of course, whether Guo Wei can arrive in time.

"It's not so easy," Zhao Pu really shook his head: "These Taoist people have always been used to the wind, and their righteousness can only be established among the Jianghu people themselves. It is very rare to want them to understand the righteousness of loyalty. ”

Guo Rong actually understands this truth, these people neither listen to the words of the king of heaven, nor are they willing to be driven by the officials and soldiers, and even Li Shouzhen's words may not be able to listen to them, maybe there is a certain "martial arts alliance leader" like a figure who can get their sincere respect, but who is this person?

The answer is: I don't know!

The boss of the underworld organization is changing at any time, and the government is sometimes confused......

"What's more," Zhao Pu continued, "These guys heard that Guo Shuxiang's army was going to cross the Yellow River from Fenglingdu, so they immediately ran to tell each other. Hum...... They immediately remembered that the Liao soldiers had beaten the water dogs, and they were worried about waiting for the puppet Qin army to rob Tongguan, and then they would go to fight the forbidden army in the river. ”

These words really made Chengyuan cry and laugh......

After dusk, the army continued to do not stop, until the scouts in front reported that there was no sign of Guo Wei's brigade approaching Fenglingdu, and Li Shouzhen ordered the whole army to take a nap on the spot for two hours.

At dawn, tens of thousands of troops finally saw Xiongguan looming in the distance.

Hanging Eyes Lang ordered the whole army to quickly set up camp, and then triumphantly ordered someone to tie up Guo Rong and the others before pushing them out. He pointed to the Oriental Dao at the beginning of the morning glow:

"Boy, I don't see what tricks are going on in the pictures you transmit. But I said a long time ago: although your father is smart, he may not be able to beat me much, otherwise how can he fall for my plan? Therefore, I can't guess your message, and your father may not be able to make your dumb riddle! ”

"Li Shouzhen, don't be too arrogant," Guo Rong sneered: "Even if your cunning can succeed for a while, but you believe in warlocks and demons, how many ridiculous things have you done?" How long can you survive by doing this? As long as you still believe in these demonic techniques and continue to underestimate the heroes of the world, you will eventually destroy yourself and burn yourself! ”

Li Shouzhen snorted for a long time and replied: "Your Guo family is mixed with the demon Cheng Kuiyuan all day long, isn't this person tied in front of my eyes?" Aren't your adults stupid? ”

"Definitely!" Guo Rong said coldly: "This person named Cheng Kuiyuan never regarded himself as a god, he was respected by the conspirators, and that was because the articles in the examination room of the Ministry of Rites were written by him word by word; After predicting the solar eclipse, he did not regard himself as the reincarnation of Li Chunfeng, but said that these changes in the intersection of the sun and the moon can be measured, but the prison corrections since the Han Dynasty cannot be predicted and accurate for the time being, as long as the method is appropriate; He said that the diversion of the Yellow River could be predicted, and it was not a pretense of magic, but a graphic discussion of the archaeological and modern river course in the deep hall, which was verified little by little; Even if the second out of Xuzhou is unharmed, he only thinks that he has taken great luck! ”

"And yet this man!" Guo Rong couldn't point over with his hands tied behind his back, so he could only turn his head and glare at Zong Lun angrily:

"Relying on his mouth, he wants to eat and drink spicy food everywhere without hard work; If you play some lame tricks, you will deceive women for their pleasure and indulgence; Just shamelessness can make your thirty-year-old general go to what emperor dreams! ”

"Good! Good! Li Shouzhen clapped his hands and praised: "It is worthy of General Guo Jianwei!" What a sharp mouth, do you want me to kill you in a fit of rage, so that your father will no longer have to worry about the future? I'm not going to kill you! ”

At this time, it was already dawn, and Li Shouzhen ordered all the tooth troops to equip themselves with various equipment and prepare for the siege. However, when the 26,000 soldiers of the 50,000-strong army were just ready to attack the city, the sound of copper horns suddenly sounded in the distance, the gate of the pass opened, and two teams of men and horses rushed out and quickly lined up.

Cheng looked at the opposite side, on one side was a cavalry unit under the banner of the Holy Protector Army, led by Li Chongjin; On the other side, the banner of the Xingjie Army was raised, which was also a cavalry team, and the leader was Qiu Feihu!
