Chapter 852: Reinforcements

"Hurry~Hurry~, speed up!" Hu Yanping rode on a horse, turning his head from time to time to urge his subordinates to speed up the march, and his face was full of anxiety, when Zhao Hao came to Yuezhou, his cousin Hu Yanqing originally went to Yuezhou to guard, with him there, there would definitely be no chaos in Yuezhou, but later Zhao Hao went to Yuezhou, Hu Yanqing was called back by him, originally wanted Zhao Hao to face the remnants of Jiaozhi alone and suffer a little, which was also Zhao Yan's confession at the beginning.

But what Hu Yanping never expected was that Zhao Hao was so stupid, not only did he personally run to Shenglong Mansion with his soldiers, but he was also successfully attacked by others, and he was besieged in Shenglong Mansion in one fell swoop and couldn't get out, and now they don't know anything about the situation inside, and they don't even know if Zhao Hao is still alive.

"Zhao Hao, this idiot, don't have an accident, otherwise I will also be affected!" Hu Yanping urged his subordinates and muttered to himself, if Zhao Hao really died in the hands of the Jiaozhi people, it would really break the sky, and even Zhao Yan would not be able to protect him at that time.

"Cousin, you don't have to worry about the safety of King Wei, in my estimation, King Wei should be fine, but he is trapped in the city, and Wang Dan and others in the city are worried that they will not be able to protect the safety of King Wei, so they dare not break through easily." At this time, Hu Yanqing, who was riding on a horse next to him, said with a relaxed face.

"This is also true, with the combat power of the Jiaozhi people, it is impossible to wipe out Wang Dan and their 10,000-strong army in one fell swoop, and now the Shenglong Mansion is besieged, which shows that Zhao Hao is fine, otherwise Wang Dan and they would have gone crazy a long time ago." Hu Yanping also muttered to himself when he heard this, and the anxious look on his face finally eased a little.

At this moment, I saw a very abrupt carriage suddenly appear in the army, and then I saw Xing Shu sticking his head out of the carriage and said with an anxious face: "General Huyan, can you go faster, I'm worried that His Royal Highness King Wei won't be able to hold on!" ”

"Xing Zuosi. As you can see, my brothers are already marching as fast as they can, but they are carrying weapons and a lot of other supplies, which are so serious that they are slowing us down, so there is nothing we can do. Hu Yanping said to Xing Shu very helplessly at this time, before Xing Shu went to Qiongzhou to ask them for help. As a result, they were also taken aback, and immediately ordered the army to come to Yuezhou, originally they wanted Xing Shu to wait for news in the deep-water port, but the other party had to follow, saying that they must see Zhao Hao as soon as possible.

"General Huyan, then you just throw down some supplies, after all, the safety of King Wei is the most important thing now!" Xing Shu heard this, but he opened his mouth to propose, in his opinion, some materials naturally cannot be compared with Zhao Hao's safety.

Hu Yanping's face sank when he heard Xing Shu's words. Then he said with a straight face: "Xing Zuosi is not familiar with military affairs, and I won't blame you for saying such things, but you must know that the army does not only rely on these brothers under me to fight, but also needs weapons and armor, in addition, they need to eat when they are hungry, drink water when they are thirsty, and use medicine when they are sick and injured." These materials are all indispensable, otherwise the war has not yet been fought. I'm afraid half of my brothers will die. ”

Seeing Hu Yanping suddenly angry, Xing Shu realized that he was too concerned about Zhao Hao's safety and was a little speechless, but he was also a person who could afford to let go, especially knowing that Hu Yanping in front of him was not an ordinary general, so he hurriedly admitted his mistake and said: "General Huyan forgives his sins, the old man has lost his words." However, His Royal Highness the King of Wei is trapped in the Shenglong Mansion, so please ask the general to urge his subordinates to rescue His Royal Highness the King of Wei as soon as possible. ”

"Xing Zuosi rest assured, the safety of His Royal Highness King Wei is very important, and the last general will definitely not dare to have any delay!" Hu Yanping saw that the other party admitted his mistake. He also spoke immediately, but he also knew that the reason why Xing Shu was so low to him was because Zhao Hao didn't need them to save him, otherwise if he had been placed before, the other party would not have been so good-tempered.

After a few days of rapid marching, Thang Long Mansion is finally in sight, and it will only take two days at most to reach the city of Thang Long Mansion, but this also makes Hu Yanping more careful, because since yesterday, his scouts have found the spies of the Jiaozhi rebels in the jungle on both sides of the road, and it is estimated that now Li Qiande has learned the news of his arrival, so he also has to guard against the attack that the other party may come at any time, after all, he does not believe that the other party will let him easily approach Thang Long Mansion.

"Bao~" was advancing, suddenly I saw a scout riding a horse coming quickly, throwing the saddle in front of Hu Yanping and reporting loudly, "General Qiyu, the road ahead is flooded, although the water is not very deep, but we suspect that the area ahead has been completely flooded!" ”

"What, flooded?" Hu Yanping heard this, but he was a little puzzled and said to himself, although it is humid and rainy on this side of Yuezhou, there are also many rivers, and the general rainfall will flow into the river and flow into the sea, not to mention that the roads and towns on this side of Yuezhou are generally built on the highlands that cannot be flooded by rain, unless it is a particularly heavy rainstorm, it is possible to be submerged, but there seems to be no heavy rain during this time?

"Oops, this place is not far from Thang Long Mansion, the front is flooded, then Thang Long Mansion will not also be flooded, this is likely to be a flood caused by Li Gande!" At this time, Hu Yanqing next to Hu Yanping suddenly shouted, and his face showed an anxious look.

"How is this possible, I personally knocked down the Thang Long Mansion, although it is next to the Fura River, but the terrain of the Thang Long Mansion is relatively high, and it is impossible for the river water of the Fura River to rush to the Thang Long Mansion!" Hu Yanping heard his cousin's words, but he didn't believe it.

"Cousin, there is nothing impossible, it is indeed unlikely that the water of the Fuliang River will rush to Thang Long Province, but you should not forget that there are many tributaries in the upper reaches of the Fuliang River, and the terrain of these tributaries is higher, as long as you dig a canal to divert water and block the downstream of the tributaries, you can completely divert the water to Thang Long Province." Hu Yanqing said with a heavy face at this time, if the Shenglong Mansion is flooded, then Zhao Hao in the city will not be good.

"Speed up, no matter what, you can't let King Wei fall into the hands of the Jiaozhi people!" Hu Yanping also thought of this possibility at this time, and said in a low voice at the moment, at this time he also regretted a little, if he knew that this was the case, he should have left an army in Yuezhou in the first place, so that he could also deal with some emergencies.

Hu Yanping's army advanced for a few miles, and sure enough, they saw that the road ahead had been covered by floods, but this possibility had been taken into account when the road was built, so the terrain of the road was mostly relatively high, so the water on the road was not deep, most of them were not knee-deep, and the road surface was cement, so it did not bring much trouble to Hu Yanping's army, but the speed of movement was greatly slowed down.

Because of the water on the road, the two-day journey was suddenly stretched to four or five days, and during these days, from time to time, there would be Jiaozhi rebels from the jungle, although these Jiaozhi rebels had low combat effectiveness and could easily be dispersed, but it also caused some trouble for Huyanping and their march.

What made Hu Yanping even more annoyed was that one of the cement roads was also destroyed by the Jiaozhi rebels, and the originally hard ground under their feet became a muddy road, and all of them fell into the mud under their feet, and their shoes would be sucked down, which made their march like a turtle crawling, but fortunately, the cement road was very strong, and the Jiaozhi people only destroyed a few miles of cement road, and after crossing this road with difficulty, their forward speed finally recovered a lot.

After a few days of arduous marching, Hu Yanping and their army finally arrived at the foot of Thang Long City, the terrain of Thang Long City was higher, and it was not flooded, and there was not much water on the ground, but there was mud everywhere, and the city was stinking, and there were corpses everywhere under the city walls, it looked like it should have gone through a big battle, which made Hu Yanping and their hearts sink.

Xing Shu's carriage had long been abandoned because the road was impassable, and when he saw the situation under the city of Thang Long Mansion, his eyes were even more frightened, because there was no trace of the Jiaozhi rebels under the city wall except for the dead bodies, and at the same time, there was silence in the city of Thang Long, which made him think of a terrible result, that is, the Song army in the city had been wiped out by the Jiaozhi people, and Zhao Hao was likely to have fallen into the hands of the Jiaozhi people.
