Chapter 56: Calculation
Fifty miles south of Hanfeng City, Badong County, a team of red armor elite horsemen galloped from west to east like a raging wind. Look at the first person holding a red flag, on the book "General of the Han Zhen Army, Jingnan Governor Huo", and the word "Huo" in Douda is swept with the wind.
This Biao is not an outsider, it is Huo Yi and a group of guards.
In the end, the lord is still the "King of Hanzhong", and the generals under his command are also promoted with the seal, and the history in Huo Yi's memory is almost the same, the four generals before and after are appointed by the four generals of Guan Zhang, Ma and Huang, and Zhao Yunfeng is the general of the Yijun, and the same four generals. Zhang Fei and Ma Chaodu argued in frustration; Guan Yu supervised Jingzhou.
Wei Yanjin sealed General Zhenyuan and assisted Zhao Yun to guard Hanzhong; The area around Zitong was garrisoned by the newly promoted Zhongjie general Xu Sheng and Zhenwei general Zhang Ren.
Huo Yi entered the general of the Zhenjun Army, under the four generals of the front and back, most of them took into account his age and qualifications, and actually took the position of governor of Jingnan. Wang Chong and Deng Ai under Huo Yi respectively entered the rank of general, and Gao Jin and others were either Yamen generals or partial generals, and they had their own homes.
On this royal gift, Jingzhou sent an urgent report, Guan Yu commanded more than 50,000 troops to invade Xiangfan, Wancheng guards Hou Yin and Wei Kai launched the mountain people to detain Wancheng under the instigation of Huo Yi's scouts, opened the arsenal, and took the armor soldiers according to Wancheng to respond to Guan Gong.
Huo Yi didn't have time to participate in the lord's entrance ceremony, so he asked for his life to return to Jingnan, because this matter was related to the fate of his own forces, Huo Yi could only ask for his life to go to Jingnan urgently, and Gao Jin and other cadres were left by Huo Yi in Fushui Pass to prepare for the army to pull out, and then went to Jingnan.
Huo Yi was anxious in his heart, because of the long distance, this news was obviously more than half a month ago, the battle array was changing rapidly, and the attitude of the Jiangdong Sun clan was uncertain, and he was not sure what kind of attitude they had towards Jingnan. If it is really like in his previous life, Lu Meng crossed the river in white, and it would be too late for him to regret it.
"Speed up. Before tonight, you must arrive in the city and take a boat down the river. can arrive at the public security port as soon as possible, the situation in Jingzhou is critical, quickly! Huo Yi looked at the sunset on the west side, and his heart was extremely anxious.
"Whoa!" All the knights responded, and the speed of the cavalry increased again.
At night, Huo Yi's men and horses entered the city of Qu Ninja, and the county commander was from Ba County. is called Du Chong, the word is beautiful, bold and tight, but he didn't dare to arrange a boat for Huo Yi. In fact, the upper reaches of the river are extremely turbulent and dangerous, and it is really dangerous to sail at night.
Huo Yi had no choice but to order everyone to rest overnight and set off downstream early tomorrow morning.
The inn is close to the river. There are both waterways, and the land route leads directly to the White Emperor City, but the waterway is also convenient and tight. Huo Yi stood near the river, looking at the east-facing river, and his heart was full of thoughts.
"General. Chengdu Line News! Ye Zhi suddenly appeared beside Huo Yi like a ghost in the night, and presented a silk book with both hands.
Huo Yi took the silk book in surprise, since he left Chengdu, he left enough scouts for him to find out all the news in Chengdu City that could be useful to him, and the affairs of the major masterminds and generals were naturally indispensable to the actions of their own lords, and the most important thing for Huo Yi was his great enemy, the actions of the Ma family.
There were three red marks diagonally on the silk book, showing the importance of this silk book, Huo Yi returned to the post house, and read it carefully. There are only more than 100 words on the silk book, but Huo Yi has been reading it for a long time.
Huo Yi frowned, and Ye Zhi stood on one side: "Young master, what should I do?" ”
Huo Yi got up and said in a low voice: "Tell the brothers to get up, prepare the horses, and set off overnight!" ”
Ye Zhi was taken aback: "The land route is difficult, although the waterway is extremely difficult, but I will be careful to take precautions, but there will not be too many mistakes!" ”
Huo Yi smiled: "Since he knows that I am in a hurry to return to Jingzhou by waterway, he will set up all means on the waterway, the situation in Jingzhou is critical, but we can only solve this crisis by arriving in Jingzhou safely." ”
Ye Zhi nodded, but he hesitated, as if he still had something to say.
Huo Yi frowned: "Youming, but you have something to say?" ”
Ye Wei said in a deep voice: "Young master, I feel that some things are quite strange. ”
Huo Yi said while bunching his armor: "It's not a big husband who is spitting and spitting, I'm afraid Miss Chai won't like such a man, you are fine with everything, but your suspicion is too serious, just say anything!" ”
Ye Ji saw that the young master had broken his mind, but he smiled: "Being able to keep doubtful of everything at all times is the ultimate in our way, this is the young bishop ours!" The day before yesterday, the general sent a letter to the White Emperor City, asking them to pay attention to the information about the Jingzhou war, but there was no news, and the general was very worried, whether anyone knew the location of the brothers in the White Emperor City. ”
Huo Yi frowned again: "What do you say?" ”
Ye Zhi said: "The news of General Guan's march into Xiangfan is the news of more than half a month ago, the rules of our scouts, report the progress of the situation every seven days, but the humble general has not received the news again, I thought that maybe the humble general was on the way, and he should not receive it, so he never doubted it, but combined with the situation that there was no movement in the stronghold of the White Emperor City, the last general thought that the inferior scout may have been poisoned!" ”
Huo Yi nodded: "What you say is reasonable." So what do you think, should I return to Jingzhou by land or water? ”
Ye Zhi looked at Huo Yi fixedly: "Young master, if you say a big thing, with our army's troops in Jingnan, General Guan has been defeated, and our army is sure to recover the lost territory and even expand the results." The young master might as well wait for the arrival of General Gao's army, and then march to Jingzhou under the escort of the army. It's so foolproof! ”
Huo Yi shook his head: "This is certainly safe, but it doesn't help the situation, Guan Gong is my father-in-law, and my position in Shu is unstable, so I still have to rely on my father-in-law's shadow to do things well." That's it, march by land, go straight to White Emperor City, and go to White Emperor City to secretly explore the stronghold before making plans! ”
Ye Zhi said helplessly on the side: "Huh! Let the scouts investigate first! ”
Huo Yi nodded and quietly sorted out his outfits.
In the Yabian Hall of the county seat of Qu Ren, Du Chong's face was dark and bright under the cover of the lights, as if he was a demon hidden in the dark night.
"My lord, a lot of letters have been intercepted, let's follow the vine and touch the melon, the den in the White Emperor City has also been taken to the end, there are hundreds of elite riders on the side of this Huo Yi, we don't have enough manpower!" A thin man in the hall said gloomily.
"Well, I know, that's why I stopped him and didn't let him take a boat to White Emperor City overnight. I have already asked people to prepare a lot of warships with hands and feet, and at that time, as long as this Huo Yi takes these boats, he can only go to the river to feed the fish! Ha ha! Du Chong said coldly, but he was so gloomy and indifferent under his body.
"My lord, I can abolish this general of Shu without spending a single soldier! Speaking of which, this guy is also a little bolder, and the day before yesterday, I found out that in addition to our passers-by, there are still people who want to attack Huo Yi and follow Huo Yi all the way, it seems that this guy is not a good stubble under Liu Bei, and he doesn't know if he offends people! If the adults can do this, General Cao will have to make a contribution to the adults, and then the adults will be able to return to the north, I hope the adults will not forget the small ones, and carry them more! ”
"Hmm, I won't forget your benefits, you should pay more attention to Huo Yi's movements, don't go wrong!" Du Chonglang said.
"The lowly one knows, and the lowly one is gone!"
