Chen Yuan could see that Sima Guang really didn't want to stay in the army, his mind was not on the army at all, he still wanted to go back to the court, and return to the court as the vanguard of those conservatives to compete with himself. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Chen Yuan turned his head and nodded slightly at Yu Qian: "Yes, what Lord Yu said is very reasonable, the official is still a little younger, and he is not as steady as adults." Those who are old, even if they have been sitting in the government for a lifetime and have not done anything, but after all, they have given their whole lives to the court, and we can't just get rid of them now, the problem must be solved, and the favor must be discussed. ”

Chen Yuan accepted Yu Qian's suggestion, which was equivalent to releasing a message to those local officials that even if they really laid off redundant officials, they would not give them no way out at all, as they thought. I believe that my own meaning will be spread immediately, although my opinion is not the final result, but as a member of the court, this word still has a lot of weight in the ears of the magistrate.

The city gate that has come to the city gate while speaking, the city gate is even more colorful, and the complexion of the people here is better. From the door, the street is quite lively, there are vegetable sellers, meat sellers, and all kinds of shops are open, and the situation is not too bad.

The Great Song Dynasty is now facing a shortage of food, not a lack of food. Generally, small households in the city can still guarantee food and drink, and large households even have the ability to provide relief to the disaster victims outside, which is much stronger than the party.

Chen Yuan looked around, and then said, "From the city gate, you can see that Lord Yu is a cautious official. If nothing else, just look at the trench next to the moat, which is set up exactly a stone's throw away, and if an enemy comes to besiege the city, it is the first line of defense, which can stop the other soldier's heavy load from filling the river. Deep in the interior of Hezhong Mansion, Lord Yu can take such precautions, which shows that you are a cautious person. ”

The surplus money said: "This trench is newly dug, a few days ago it was said that Wang Lun, the head of the thief, made a lot of trouble between Jianghuai, and was afraid that Wang Lun would call, and saw that the hungry people had nothing to do, so they let them dig this trench, after all, we are not far from Jianghuai, so it is better to be careful." ”

After hearing this, Chen Yuan immediately asked, "Lord Yu, what is the current situation of this Wang Lun's rebellion?" ”

Although Yu Qian is not a cadre, he is really very cautious, although Wang Lun did not hit here, but he has a very clear grasp of some situations, and said to Chen Yuan at the moment: "The thief is already poor, and he is about to be destroyed." ”

Wang Lun developed very quickly at the beginning, and after the 5,000 men and horses turned to war, they expanded rapidly, reaching more than 20,000 people, and nearly a thousand miles of land were controlled by them. Wang Lun intends to streamline the team again.

It can be said that his idea is completely correct, taking advantage of the fact that the Song army has not yet come, let his team be more refined, and not be busy claiming the throne first, and then talk about burning the fire of the Great Song Dynasty. But he never expected that the military system of the Song Dynasty would suddenly change!

After Renzong fully delegated power, Wen Yanbo completely threw off the shackles, and in the face of his absolute strength, Wang Lun's strategy had no room to be used.

Wang Lun, who was streamlining his troops in Yangzhou, was chased by Fu Yongji, and the rebellious refugees and the Song soldiers engaged in a fierce fight.

After all, the Song army had undergone formal military training, and although the rebels had been screened, their quality was far from comparable to Fu Yongji's officers and soldiers, and even if Wang Lun and others were extremely brave, they still could not kill the Song army.

The battle became more and more intense, and Wang Lun's biggest weakness was exposed, that is, he had no reinforcements. In the end, in the face of officers and soldiers several times his own, although he fought hard, he was finally outnumbered and defeated for Fu Yongji.

Wang Lun led the rest of the troops to break through the siege, but was blocked by Wen Yanbo in Hezhou.

At this time, Wang Lun had fallen into a desperate situation, and what was even more unfavorable to him was that the food crisis in the Song Dynasty gradually began to ease, and the flames that were ignited by him were slowly extinguished, and there were not many homeless people willing to carry their heads to realize the ideal world he said with him.

Fu Yongji also pursued all the way from Yangzhou, and together with Wen Yanbo, besieged Wang Lun in Hezhou, in a vain attempt to annihilate him in one fell swoop.

At this time, Wang Lun showed extremely high military talent and leadership qualities, and he was not afraid in the face of a strong enemy, calmly organized forces, commanded men and horses, and fought with officers and men who had absolute superiority in numbers, equipment, and training.

He held on to Hezhou for a month, and finally seized the weakness of the officers and soldiers from all over the country and were unfamiliar with it to break through in one fell swoop, and led the rest of the troops from Hezhou all the way to the west, and Wen Yanbo led the officers and soldiers to chase after him.

This is the battle report from ten days ago.

Chen Yuan was secretly surprised in his heart when he heard this, he didn't want to see Wang Lun being killed like this, because Wang Lun was a very talented person, the kind of all-round talent that could not be found. The people who have passed the emperor's list of jinshi, the martial arts have been martial, and the people who have led the troops to fight can bring some homeless people who have just picked up guns to make the Great Song Dynasty like this, and they are also experts in business. The most important thing is that he has the talent of a commander, and his subordinates Li Tiegun, Zhang Hai, Dang Junzi, Guo Miaoshan and others are also talented.

It would be a pity if such a person hung up like this. If Wang Lun can help him, it will be tantamount to adding a boost to Chen Yuan.

After eating some hastily in Hezhong Mansion, Chen Yuan talked in detail with Na Yu Qian about other aspects of the new policy, and immediately returned to the military camp outside the city.

After entering the barracks, all the soldiers were ready to rest, and Chen Yuanhuo said anxiously: "Tie Anli, go and inform those generals to come to our military tent, I want to have a meeting." Also, let all the brothers who ride horses not sleep! ”

Tie Anli didn't ask much, and went immediately. In just a moment, Liu Ping, Yang Wenguang, and Yang Qing all came to Chen Yuan's military tent.

Chen Yuan had already opened the map and searched for the location of Hezhou on the map. After seeing the three people come in, he beckoned them over: "Liu Ping, you can help me take a look, Wang Lun broke through in Hezhou ten days ago, and then went all the way to the west, where should he be now." ”

Liu Ping looked at the map first, found Hezhou with a quick look, and then moved his finger slowly, and clicked at the location of Quarry Rock: "It should be here." What are you going to do, Horse Master? ”

Chen Yuan calculated the distance from himself to Quarry Rock in his heart, and said, "Go and catch Wang Lun, I can't let Wen Yanbo catch him." ”

Liu Ping didn't know that Chen Yuan wanted to pull Wang Lun along, so he was very puzzled and said: "Master Ma, please forgive the last general, we don't seem to need to go to Master Wen Yanbo to grab this credit." ”

Yang Wenguang next to him knew Chen Yuan's thoughts about Wang Lun and the others, and stepped forward and said: "Big brother, I will take the cavalry to go first, if Wang Lun and the others are still alive, I will definitely be able to find them before Wen Yanbo." ”

Chen Yuan thought for a while, this place is thousands of miles away from the quarry, if you let the horses gallop, you should be able to arrive in four or five days, and nodded and said, "Okay, we have two thousand cavalry now,"

Yang Wenguang hurriedly added: "There are only less than a thousand people who can fight." ”

Chen Yuan glanced at him: "I know, it's good to take the rest to scare people, I'll go with you, your mouth is not good, you may not be able to convince Wang Lun." ”

Yang Wenguang shook his head: "He's like this, do you still need to convince him?" ”

Chen Yuan shook his head slightly: "He must still have something to rely on, Wang Lun, once he bets all the treasures, he will definitely not have only one card in his hand." But it's useless how many long cards he has now, Wen Yanbo has a pair of monkey kings in his hands, if we don't pull him out of the battlefield, he will die! ”

Liu Ping on the side was taken aback: "Master Horse, that Wang Lun is rebellious, I don't know what the relationship between you is, but now no one can save him!" ”

Chen Yuan put away the map: "Needless to say, you wait here with the troops, find a way to delay for half a month, and we will definitely come back after half a month." Wen Guang, go and prepare the horses, each soldier only brings half a month's rations, and travel lightly! ”

Yang Wenguang also moved quickly, and shouted after jumping out of the gate: "Cavalry assemble!" Cavalry assembled! ”

This cavalry had just been formed, and they didn't even have the approval of the imperial court, let alone the order to assemble their own troops.

But they were all the most elite soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, and when they heard the shouting, they immediately came out of the room and went out of the stable to bring their war horses, and the speed was not very slow.

After everything was prepared and the rations were brought, Chen Yuan didn't say anything, and led the troops all the way to the direction of Quarry Rock.

The speed of the cavalry in the Song Dynasty was about 500 miles a night, which could only be completed under the condition of one man and one horse without rest. And Chen Yuan's army has just been formed, so naturally it can't be demanded at this speed, and it has to rest at night, so it is really difficult to travel more than 1,000 miles in five days.

Chen Yuan didn't know if he could catch up, so he did his best.

Fortunately, the road in the Song Dynasty was very developed, and it was not more than fifty miles from Hezhongfu to the south, and it took less than fifty miles to set foot on the Jingnan Road. The post stations along the road allow them to rest and recharge, which ensures that the physical strength of both men and horses is well preserved.

Four days through Tangzhou, Caizhou, arrived at Shouzhou. At this time, there were still more than 300 miles away from Quarry Rock, Chen Yuan found a local magistrate in Caizhou and inquired, knowing that there was no battle there in Quarry Rock, at least in this place There was no news, so he was relieved a lot.

"Wen Guang, it seems that we can catch up."

Yang Wenguang also said: "I think so, there is no news of the battle yet, Wang Lun's guy is quite capable of fighting, even if he is trapped by Wen Yanbo, there should be no problem in insisting on four or five." Big brother, if he is really trapped by Wen Yanbo, shall we go in and save people? ”

Chen Yuanyi grinned: "How to save it?" Liu Ping is right, he is a thief, we are only here this time for the affection of brothers, if we can, we will give him a way to go. If he is obsessed or has been surrounded by Wen Yanbo, even if he is unlucky, he will bring it on himself. ”

After speaking, he pulled the reins: "Drive!" ”

The war horse under the crotch rushed to the quarry rock.

Quarry Rock is a famous place, and the kind of fire-breathing bamboo tube that Chen Yuan is using now was used for the first time in history. The small bamboo tube showed its might, burning the warships of the Jin Kingdom one by one, so that the army of the Southern Song Dynasty created the myth of winning more with less.

But now Wang Lun is here, but he can't feel the heroic feelings brought by the rushing water of the Yangtze River.

He stood by the river, searching the surface of the river with his two eyes, but could not find a fishing boat that could allow him to cross the Yangtze River.

The cities of the Song Dynasty were tightly closed, and his supplies were in trouble.

Wang Lun is a righteous person, in fact, in the Song Dynasty, even if you don't enter the city, as long as you are willing to rob, you can get the necessary supplies, but Wang Lun does not rob. He told his brother that we are fighting the world for the poor, and if we rob the poor, what is the difference between ourselves and those [***] officials of the Song Dynasty?

Li Tiegun rushed from behind: "Big brother, I didn't find the boat upstream, and those dog officers took the boat to the other side." ”

Wang Lun's brows furrowed, and before he could figure out what to do, Zhang Hai rode over on horseback: "Big brother, Wen Yanbo has arrived in Liyang." ”

Liyang, only a hundred miles away from Quarry Rock, Wang Lun knows that he only has one day at most, and if he can't cross the Yangtze River within this day, then this will be his burial place?
