Chapter 249: Use the speed of the march to establish authority
Seeing so many people on the street, the eunuch who delivered the decree was of course anxious. He was ordered to come to pass the decree, there is a time requirement, if he wants to change the decree to others, then he can rub it off, anyway, it is the unlucky general, it will not be him, as long as he passes the decree within the specified time, just pass the decree to it!
can give Li Qin a decree, borrow him a hundred guts, he doesn't dare to play with Li Qin, if Li Qin turns his face and finds an excuse casually, he can click a little eunuch, even if he doesn't turn his face at that time, he can have some accidents on the way back to Luoyang, it is very likely. Taking a step back, even if he can return to Luoyang, Zhang Rang can't spare him, the whole Han knows that Li Qin is a person who Zhang Rang vigorously supports, and now even Zhang Rang is afraid of Li Qin, and he doesn't dare to offend Li Qin!
The eunuch said hurriedly on the horse: "What can I do, it seems that the people on the street will not be able to disperse for a while, we can't move an inch now, and we can't go to Li Qin to pass the decree!" He was in a hurry, and his voice couldn't help but be sharp.
A Yulin Jun said: "Lord Zhongguan, don't worry, let the last general think of a way!" He jumped off the horse, grabbed a common man, and said: "This brother, we are from Luoyang, and we want to find Li Qin and Li Junhou, but now there are so many people, and we can't get by. As he spoke, he took a handful of copper coins from his bosom and put them into the hands of the people.
The man grabbed the copper coin, heaved, and said with a smile: "This money is easy to earn." Okay, since you asked, Master Jun, the villain knows everything, and he has no end to it. He pointed to the side of the street and said: "Look at it, go in from here, go west, go to the end, then turn north, and then go to the end, it is Jingzhao Yin Yamen, Li Junhou lives there, now there are many people on the street, but there are no people in the alley, it is easy to walk, you don't need two quarters of an hour, you can get to the place!" ”
Yu Linjun was relieved, thanked him, and was about to turn around and get on the horse, but he heard the people say: "But if you have something urgent, you have to see Li Junhou now, and you can't go to the yamen, just wait here!" ”
Ahh It's getting dark, how could Li Junhou come here, are you kidding? ”
The people laughed again, and said with a smile: "If the villain didn't take your money, maybe he would really joke with you and play with you, but if he took your money, he wouldn't be joking, we can't take your money for nothing, don't you say?" ”
He raised his chin, pointed to the people on the street, and said: "Today is the leader of the big officials who parade the streets, Li Junhou respects the scholars, so he personally opens the way for them, and this city gate is the end, after arriving here, the street parade team will go back, so you want to see Li Junhou, just wait here." Take the opportunity to take a break, eat something, and look at the way you look, I'm afraid you're tired and half dead! ”
The common man looked at the dusty appearance of the Yulin Army, kicked the money into his arms, and said, "This money is really easy to earn!" "I'm afraid that Yu Linjun will ask for the money back again, and he will squeeze into the crowd and disappear!
Yu Linjun was stunned and didn't understand much, but he shouted to the eunuch: "Lord Zhongguan, that person said, just wait here, Li Junhou will come in a while!" ”
But the eunuch said angrily: "Bastard, this kind of grass people's words can be believed, if we wait here and Li Junhou doesn't come, what if you don't come, will you bear this responsibility?" ”
Yu Linjun shuddered, he couldn't afford it, just do what you say, anyway, if something happens, the first unlucky one is you, and it has nothing to do with us! He said that he could walk in the alley, but this eunuch listened, he was not willing to wait here, but he was willing to drill the alley, took the Yulin army into the alley, and ran in the direction of Jing Zhaoyin's yamen!
The people took the money, but they really didn't fool them, drilling the alley was really fast, less than two quarters of an hour, they really ran to the Jingzhao Yin Yamen, and saw that the yamen was deserted, except for a few guards standing guard, there was not even a single citizen, let alone an official.
The eunuch jumped off his horse and shouted in a sharp voice: "The holy decree has arrived, Li Qin has accepted the decree!" He strode into the gate, but the guards did not immediately go in and pass through, but looked at him inexplicably.
The eunuch hurriedly said: "I didn't hear what our family said, hurry up and let Li Junhou come out to receive the order, this is not a trivial matter!" ”
One of the guards came up to me and asked, "Well, angel, do you have to call you angel?" Lord Angel, if you are from Luoyang, then you have to enter the east gate, you should be able to watch Li Junhou, he is on that street, taking the officials to parade through the street, the end point is the city gate, didn't you see that the city gate was open when you came? ”
A guard in the back also said: "If there is an emergency, you just wait at the city gate, you don't have to come here, maybe you can see Li Junhou earlier!" ”
The eunuch was stunned for a moment, the grass man didn't fool him, he was indeed waiting at the city gate! The Yulin army behind him pouted together, and they all secretly scolded this eunuch for being clever and always thinking about not delaying time, but now it's better, but it's even more delaying!
The eunuch stammered and asked, "Then, who is in charge of the yamen now, and the holy decree can be given to him!" "He was in a hurry to get things done, and as soon as the decree was handed over, there was nothing for him.
The guard shook his head and said: "Li Junhou and Jia Juncheng are not here, they have all gone to the streets, but the former Lord Jingzhao Yin Gai has not gone to Liangzhou yet, he is here, otherwise you will give him the holy decree?" ”
Eunuch Daqi, of course he knows that Jing Zhaoyin is Gai Xun, but how did he become the before, so what is Gai Xun doing now? He didn't know that Gai Xun had been set up and became the governor of Fujiao Fort, but he asked the guards, but the guards couldn't say why, and how dare the eunuch hand over the holy decree to someone other than the Fujiao army, isn't that a random gift, the holy decree can't be given indiscriminately, so he had to enter the lobby, sit in the hall, and wait for Li Qin to come back.
After waiting for a long time, it was the second watch, and then I heard cheers from outside, and the eunuch hurried out, and saw the crowd outside the yamen, Li Qin and a large number of officials, surrounded by soldiers and people, came back!
The eunuch jumped down the steps and shouted: "Li Junhou, Li Junhou, our family can be regarded as looking forward to you coming back, if you don't come back, our family will be in a hurry to hang yourself!" ”
Li Qin saw a man in a eunuch's uniform shouting, he immediately understood that this was a movement in the imperial court, but he didn't know what the movement was, he jumped off the horse, strode forward, and said, "This Zhongguan is here to deliver the decree?" Come, let's go into the courtyard and talk, wait for me to set up the incense table, and knock on the holy decree! ”
The eunuch hurriedly said: "The matter is urgent, no one will blame Li Junhou, there is no need to put the incense case first!" He took Li Qin's hand and entered the courtyard together, and then asked Li Qin to kneel, he took out the holy decree and read it again, after reading it, this can be regarded as a sigh of relief, his task is completed, the rest is a blessing or a curse, Li Qin will carry it alone, there is nothing to do with him!
After Li Qin heard the holy decree, he was taken aback, he jumped up and shouted, "Your Majesty wants me to lead troops to Luoyang within three days?" And it's been a day now? ”
Jia Xu was also anxious, he shouted: "Two days, let alone rushing to Luoyang, even if it is difficult to gather troops on the road, hundreds of miles of road, how can it take two days to arrive?" ”
The eunuch thought to himself, "Then it's none of my business!" I rushed over from Chang'an, but it only took a little more than a day and a night. ”
The march of the army and the rapid running of a few cavalry, this is definitely not the same thing, the messenger can be rushed for six hundred miles, or even eight hundred miles, but the army is not in a hurry, according to the regular marching speed, the infantry can travel thirty miles a day to maintain combat effectiveness, and the cavalry is about the same for a hundred miles a day, unless it is rushed, or even if it is rushed to the destination, the horse will run to death, and the people will run apart, what kind of battle will they fight, they will be tired to death!
Jia Xu pulled the eunuch aside and said, "There are some words in the holy decree that are vague, and of course some things cannot be written in the holy decree. I ask you, is it true that things in the east are out of control? The Yellow Turban Army is really so powerful that it has already gone to attack Luoyang? ”
The eunuch didn't dare to answer truthfully, and it was not a secret, he didn't need to tell a lie, he said: "The Yellow Turban Army killed General Huangfu, and the recruits trained by General Yuan were also wiped out. ”
Jia Xu sighed, he came to Li Qin's follow, approached and whispered: "It seems that the imperial court is indeed in a hurry, otherwise the emperor can't make this kind of holy decree." In my opinion, I don't want to kill you in Luoyang! ”
Li Qin nodded, he was also afraid that the twelve gold medals would happen to him, if he was really summoned to the capital by the imperial court, and then gave him a click, it would be too late to regret it!
He said: "If the Yellow Turban Army is really so powerful, then I really have to hurry up, but it is impossible to rush to the capital with a large army within two days." Otherwise, I asked Dian Wei to take 3,000 cavalry, which is considered a vanguard, and rush all the way, they will definitely be able to reach Luoyang in two days, maybe they can arrive early, as long as they arrive, presumably the imperial court will not be able to say anything. And I set off with the army later, you are responsible for the supply of grain and grass, and you have to deal with the affairs here in Chang'an, you can't leave your tail! ”
Jia Xu nodded and said, "I will deal with the affairs of Chang'an as soon as possible, you can rest assured!" ”
Li Qin called Dian Wei and asked him to go out of the city immediately to order three thousand elites, and run to Luoyang overnight, don't bring any baggage, just hurry, the sooner you can arrive, the better, let the people of the court see the marching speed of the Fujiao Army, and shock them!
Dian Wei listened to it and said with a smile: "Using the speed of the march to establish a prestige, this is rare!" Okay, let my subordinates lead the troops to Luoyang, so that the big men in Luoyang can see how my Fujiao Army is a thousand miles! ”
Li Qin nodded and said: "It is difficult to estimate the difficulty of a thousand miles, but let's try it, this is also a great opportunity for everyone in the world to know about my Fujiao Army!" ”
