Jiang Hexing sent a letter to Ma Puma for assistance, asking them to bring a regiment of troops to Xianwuzhong, and another letter to Hao Zhan, asking him to take the chariot division and take a sailboat to Xianwuzhong. Zhang Meng, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, was also transferred to Xianwu. In the end, Ma Yuan sent a regiment of troops to Phoenix Island to guard. In addition, 20 galleons were collected from the shipyard and 10 smaller sailboats were ordered from Fan Jia. Let Fan Jia send people to set off from Anwu into the sea and make a detour to Xianwu.

Jiang Hexing called Zhang Jie and asked how the recruits were being trained, and Zhang Jie said: Now Yaowu has three divisions of recruits, all of which were recruited from the displaced people from all over Pingzhou last year, and they have been training for more than half a year. Jiang Hexing asked Zhang Jie to replenish the three divisions to Ma Yuan, Ma Biao and Hao Zhan respectively, and Zhang Jie accepted the order and returned to Yaowu City to mobilize troops.

All of a sudden, Xianwu City is particularly lively, sailboats gather on the Liao River, there are not so many people in the military camp of Xianwu City for a long time, people are cheering and horses are shouting, the armor is bright, and the flag is displayed.

Because some people came from the summer capital, some people came from Anwu, and some came from Phoenix Island, and they waited for more than a month, and finally all of them gathered. Fortunately, Chen Gang's sailor also found an outlet to the sea, and went all the way south from the mouth of the sea to Phoenix Island, and returned to Phoenix Island, and also received an order from Jiang Hexing, and immediately came to Xianwu with a fleet.

It's August and the weather is starting to get cooler. All arms of the army were practicing on the training ground outside Xianwu City, and the sailboats of the Liaohe River were moving back and forth day and night, and they wanted to adapt these cavalry and infantry to life on the ship. Running around in the Liao River every day, and even going to sea for two days, gradually everyone stopped vomiting and could get used to eating.

Jiang Hexing was worried about the sudden change in the weather, so in late August, he took all kinds of well-trained sailors, infantry, and cavalry on board the ship and concentrated on Phoenix Island in batches. It wasn't until September that I arrived at Phoenix Island. Jiang Hexing told Zhang Kai to find a place not far from the port on Phoenix Island to build a house in case of emergency. In addition, houses were built in areas controlled by Mahan himself for future refugees.

On September 16, news came that Zhai Yi of Dongjun rebelled. Jiang Hexing convened the generals Ma Yuan, Ma Biao, Chen Gang, Hao Zhan, Zhang Meng, Zhang Kai and others to discuss.

Jiang Hexing went straight to the point and asked everyone how to march, and Ma Yuan was the first to stand up and said: "He Wang, my opinion is to let others know that we are here to save people. The second is to make them willing to get on board. The third is to convince them that it is safe to follow us. The first is to let them know that we can send people along the banks of the Yellow River, in the interior of Dongjun, to distribute paper widely, claiming that we were sent by heaven, and it is not so difficult for people to believe that they have never seen this kind of paper of ours. Persuade it with the words of heaven and let people know.

The second step is to be polite when you get on the boat, no, you are polite when you see the boat, and it is best to know the news of our rescue at the beginning, and there are gifts nearby. It is best to put our salt in a clear place, good people they see, say that it is salt sent from heaven, they must have never seen such good salt, I believe it should not be difficult. This will lure people on board.

As for the third security issue, my opinion is that Dongjun is fighting against the imperial court, and there must be bandits rampant inside, and we still want to do it everywhere we go in the name of heaven, kill a few people who are hated by the people and have no choice but to do it, and then demarcate the route to the bank of the Yellow River. There are our people guarding us all the way, and if there are soldiers from Dongjun to block it, we can scare away a few clouds and thunders, and the people will believe that we are sent by heaven. ”

After Ma Yuan finished speaking, everyone felt very good, it was difficult to call in the name of heaven, it happened that there were a lot of strange things in Pingzhou, and they had never seen it, so it should be feasible to pretend to be heavenly.

Jianghexing once again divided his troops and sent generals, and Chen Gang's water division was responsible for the waterway transportation along the way, and did not go ashore. Hao Zhan's chariot division had three regiments, divided into three, and Ma Yuan led one regiment to cooperate with his troops. Ma Biao led a regiment to cooperate with his troops, and Zhang Meng led a battalion to cooperate with his movements. Hao Zhan led the remaining two battalions to follow the river line and coordinate the command on the golden embankment.

The river lines were dispatched and acted separately. The grain war horses were sent to the big ships, and each team also had special boats with grain and grass and snow-white refined salt. It took two days to clean up before it stopped.

On September 19, the army set sail. Ma Yuan Chen Gang walked in the front, Jiang Hexing Zhang Meng and Hao Zhan walked in the middle, and Ma Biao's team walked in the back. At this time, it is late autumn, the sea and the sky are the same color, blue as washing, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the sea is like a white dragon constantly speeding forward on the sea surface.

Because it is no longer docking, the ship goes very fast in the sea, and it takes 5 days to enter the Yellow River in Bohai County. The Yellow River is shallow in some places in autumn, but fortunately, there are often caravans passing by, there are proven routes, and after three days of walking, we arrived at Dongjun.

According to the prior agreement, Ma Yuan and his entourage were near Baima County (Huaxian County), Jianghexing and other middle roads to Puyang, that is, the Dongjun County Guard stopped 20 miles to the east, and Ma Biao stopped the boat in Fan County and other places.

After stopping the boat, the bridge was erected, and Ma Yuan immediately sent someone to lead the horse ashore, and the golden embankment was in the shape of a ladder, and the slope was not very urgent, so he pushed it to the golden embankment. The golden embankment is 20 zhang wide, and it is the most suitable for the march road in ordinary times. Ma Yuan also followed up to the Golden Causeway to take a look, both sides of the Golden Causeway are covered with dry grass, usually it seems that there are not many people walking, and a big road in the middle goes east along the Yellow River. In the early winter of Dongjun, the weather is not too cold, and under the afterglow of the setting sun, it even feels warmer than on the water. Ma Yuan looked around quietly, and the embankment that the messenger walked on flew by the frightened birds from time to time.

Ma Yuan took a deep breath, turned around and went down the embankment, and returned to the boat. He handed down an order, and the sailors took turns to send out guard posts on the embankment, and the rest of the soldiers from Anwu and Yaowu were all in companies, all the way to the south, all the way to the north, along the banks of the Yellow River, to various villages, towns and counties. Everyone waits, day and night, and they all explode small clouds and thunders in the middle of each village at night, and then distribute paper everywhere.

The first leaflets were issued stating that they would assemble at Jindi on the sixth day of October, and that a battalion would be used as a unit to control the concentration points, most importantly to distribute salt and maintain order, and to induce them to come to the banks of the Yellow River. At the beginning of October 10, no matter how many people you can bring, all of you will meet here to see how many people you can attract, and decide on the next step.

The people listened to the order to move their own ways, and the only thing that was inconvenient was the chariot regiment, which was divided into a company by a platoon, and there were exactly three wagons in one platoon. The carriage was very large, and it was not difficult to put the bridge board from the boat to the shore, but the difficult thing was how to push it to the top of the golden embankment, and then there was really no way, so the horse was unloaded, and everyone carried the cart on the golden embankment, and the necessary grain, refined salt, paper, cloud thunder, etc., were moved to the cart again little by little.

After the people had eaten dry food and fed the horses with the concentrate, they went west along the golden embankment, and after about 10 miles, it was getting dark, and they saw that a ramp could go down, so they immediately went down the golden embankment and walked south along the official road. It was already dark, and the stars were shining brightly, but the stars were still too faint, and everyone made torches, slowed down their horses and cars, and walked along the road.
