Not long after Lin Feng and his party left Jinling City, the forbidden army in groups of three rushed out of the palace city again, galloping wildly, and rushing into the major streets like a gallop. This time, they did not stop in front of any of the gates, but rushed out of the city one after another, and rushed in all directions.

Behind each batch of galloping horses, what was left was a bunch of people gathered together to discuss. Although I didn't see the exciting announcement this time, the big guys all agreed that something big must be happening again!

On the morning of the same day, the summoning order arrived at the quarrying camp more than 160 miles west of Jinling City.

Not long after the forbidden army entered the camp, a soldier hurried out of the camp commander's tent, holding a red military order symbolizing urgency, through the camp tent, bypassing several sea falcons and two-cart warships that were being renovated, and running straight to the bank of the river.

In the distance, the sound of an urgent weapon clash was mixed with shouts.

At the corner of a river beach not far from the barracks, a shirtless, muscular man was practicing against five officers dressed in capital costumes. The strong man looked extremely powerful, and he seemed to be sure to hit him with a single blow, and the receiver must have taken at least two steps back, and the momentum was like the indigo tiger that covered his body. At the same time, his footsteps changed quickly, and he seemed to be able to move between the combined strikes of the five people.

"General Lin, the King of Qi in the capital has sent an urgent military order, ordering General Lin to rush to the north of the forbidden army to report in ten days!" The soldier who had given the order ran up to him and shouted.

"Stop!" The strong man shouted, and his originally swift figure suddenly fixed like a mountain, and both of them couldn't close their heads, and the knife momentum could be contained, and the blade almost reached the strong man.

The strong man threw the knife out as if he had no intention, and the knife went straight into the soil, barely reaching the hilt, and beads of sweat the size of a bean fell quickly along Gao Long's muscles and dripped into the soil. The strong man wiped his body twice with both hands, wiped off his sweat, and solemnly took the military order for inspection.

This person is Lin Renzhao, a famous general in the Southern Tang Dynasty, because of the tattoo of a tiger with teeth and claws, and the battle is as fast as a tiger, and he is called "Lin Huzi" in the army. Lin Renzhao was originally a Fujian general, and after the destruction of the Fujian State by the Southern Tang Dynasty in 947 AD, he surrendered to the Southern Tang Dynasty and is now a deputy general in the army.

"This military order is very strange, it is normal to summon General Ma, why do you name me alone?" Lin Renzhao looked down at the military order, raised his head and asked the soldier who gave the order suspiciously. The general Ma in his mouth is Ma Cungui, the chief general of Quarry Rock.

"General Ma was also very puzzled, and told General Lin that he might as well return to the city a few days in advance to find out." The herald soldier replied.

"Leave it alone for the time being, please transfer it to General Ma, I will return to the city three days early!" Lin Renzhao commanded, turned his head to the five heads in front of him, and shouted: "Come again!" ”

Immediately, a new sparring began.

On the morning of the second day, the military order arrived in Shouzhou (now Shou County, Anhui). When the summoning order was sent directly to the Shouzhou Assassin's Mansion, Liu Yanzhen, the Shouzhou Assassin, was discussing the defense of the army with a group of staff.

Thorn history, since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty began to set up this position, for the longest administrator of a state, since then, the history of thorns has become more and more powerful, can be in charge of a state military and political power, there have been state pastor, Taishou and other name changes. During the Sui and Tang dynasties, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, and Wu Zetian all abolished the state and changed the county, and it was still the same soon. In the late Tang Dynasty, the states under the control of the degree and the observation made it impossible to act on their own, and the festival made even sign the history of the assassination, which led to the gradual lightening of the position of the assassin.

At this time, Shouzhou corresponds to Kaifeng, the capital of the Han Dynasty in the north, across the Huai River, and is naturally an important town for military defense. According to the history books, this Liu Yanzhen "is arrogant, has no talent, does not practice soldiers, and the towns he has experienced are designed for greed, accumulating huge amounts of wealth, and bribing power", and finally won the reputation of "a great wall" in the Southern Tang Dynasty, so he was able to garrison a military town like Shouzhou, and naturally he was also one of the important figures in this convocation.

Hearing that a military order had arrived, Liu Yanzhen ordered a group of staff members to retreat, leaving only one person who was engaged in the liberation movement. Don't drive the history, also known as don't drive. Han Qi was set up together with the history of the assassin and was the assistant official of the history of the assassin of a state. Because of its high status, when the assassin goes out to patrol the territory, don't take a stagecoach to accompany him, hence the name.

After reading the military order, Liu Yanzhen turned around and moved the window, looking at the gloomy and dark sky, holding her beard, and was silent for a long time. The liberation movement moved forward lightly, picked up the military order, and looked at it carefully.

"Lord Assassin Shi, King Qi suddenly ordered this, it can be said that it is very incomprehensible." After Xie Yun finished reading, he walked behind Liu Yanzhen and said softly.

"At present, there are many changes in the DPRK and China, and it is difficult to distinguish the direction of the wind. But if you think about it carefully, I'm afraid it's also caused by the three sparseness of the strong country that Lin Feng mentioned. Liu Yanzhen turned around lightly and said to the liberation movement, "I was ordered to enter Beijing this time, just to find out the movements of the DPRK and China. You have ordered three cartloads of money and gifts to be prepared, and you will go back with me tomorrow. ”

Xie Yun nodded yes, and said cautiously: "Lord Thorn Shi, it is now the flood season, if you and I enter Beijing, will An Fengtang still be there?" ”

Liu Yanzhen wiped a trace of fierceness, glared at Xie Yun, and reprimanded in a low voice: "Needless to say?!" Still! ”

Anfengtang, also known as Shaobei, is a large-scale water conservancy project presided over by Sun Shuao, the prime minister of Chu State in the Spring and Autumn Period more than 2,500 years ago, is the earliest large-scale Pitang irrigation project in the history of water conservancy in China, and was once known as "the crown of the pond in the world", and Dujiangyan, Zhanghe Canal, Zhengguo Canal and called the four major water conservancy projects in ancient China. The original area of the historical records was "one hundred and twenty miles of Zhou", and after the vicissitudes of history, many changes, but for thousands of years, it has played a major role in irrigation of farmland, waterway transportation, development of agriculture, tuntian to help the army, and governance of the Huai River.

It is precisely because of this Anfeng Yong that thousands of acres of irrigated fields and the surplus of the people are that there are few fierce years in Shouzhou. But this Liu Yanzhen is very vicious, since serving in Shouzhou, in the name of dredging, and the water into the city, the water in the fields is slowly dried up, at the same time, Liu Yanzhen dispatched troops, strict and heavy supervision of taxes in various places, the people have no choice, have to sell the land or abandon the land and leave. At this time, Liu Yanzhen chose one of them, "those who are especially anointed, and the price is low", and all the original good fields were collected and sold at a low price. After that, the pond was restored and the harvest was repeated the following year. has been repeating this for several years, and the waist bag is naturally bulging, but the treasure is full of people's blood and sweat.

Xie Yun suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, said yes again and again, and bowed back.

On the morning of the third day, the same military order was sent to Chuzhou (present-day Huai'an, Jiangsu). The governor of Chuzhou, Shi Shi, held the military order, and searched for a long time in the state capital with the soldiers in the army, and only then did he find He Jingzhu, who was talking and dancing in the middle of a group of people. In this year, He Jingzhu, who was born in 888 AD, was 62 years old.

He Jingzhu was originally from Guangling, and he once served as a military academy for Li Jian, the assassin of Yang, Wu, and Chuzhou. After Li Jian's death, Li Yu, the ancestor of the matter, was appointed as a general, and served as the commander of the Tianwei Army, the commander of the Changbu Army, etc., because of his meritorious service in the battle to destroy Fujian, he was worshiped as the training envoy of the Chuzhou regiment. The regimental training envoy, whose full name is the regimental training guard and capture envoy, has been set up since the early Tang Dynasty and is responsible for the military official position of the regimental training (self-defense force). At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, there were two types of capital regimental training envoys and state regimental training envoys, both of which were responsible for commanding the local self-defense forces, and their status was lower than that of the jiedu envoys. After the Huangchao Rebellion, the power of the feudal towns became stronger, and the capital regimental training envoys were gradually promoted to festival envoys. The state regiment training envoy is often concurrently served by the assassin Shi.

Since taking this position, He Jingzhu because he first followed Li Jian to start here, he is especially encouraged in his heart, if there are people complaining in his daily life, he will immediately introduce the government office, personally analyze the straightness, and people "are tired of being convinced", and He Jingzhu also often parades the alleys and alleys to observe the people's suffering. On this morning, He Jingzhu was so idle in the Assassin's Mansion that he couldn't sit still, and no one told him, and another person slipped out of the mansion in a microsuit, and when he saw someone arguing on the side of the road, he immediately stopped, pushed aside the crowd and went in.

He Jingzhu heard the shouts in the crowd, and when he saw the emergency military order in Changshi's hand, his expression changed slightly, and he immediately got up to salute the surrounding people and said goodbye, and immediately walked out of the crowd.

When no one was around, He Jingzhu turned his back and unfolded the military order and watched carefully.

Ho Kyung-so carefully folded the order, feeling as if his surroundings were becoming apparent. He looked up at the sky and found that there was a dazzling sunlight slowly expanding behind the layers of dark clouds, and his heart was suddenly relieved, and he couldn't help muttering: "Perhaps, I'm going to turn my eyes on this military cloudy day, right?" ”

After speaking, he patted the dust that had just been stained on the ground, and strode towards the Thorn Mansion.

On the morning of the fourth day, the military order was sent to Ezhou (now Wuhan, Hubei) and directly presented to Liu Renzhen, the envoy of Wuchang Jiedu.
