With the same long waterway, the atmosphere at this time is naturally completely different from when it came.

Lin Feng also deliberately relaxed the military discipline on the warship, and specially distributed a few jars of good wine to each ship before departure, this decision surprised the 20,000 soldiers who returned with the ship, and the earth-shattering cheers came and went one after another along the way.

After the original special forces during this period of intentional or unintentional dissemination, the impassioned "Canghai Laughter" has become a must-sing song for every soldier to drink, if you listen to it on the shore, you will find that this song is basically sung from the head boat to the tail boat. At night, the ships echo from afar, and as long as one boat leads the singing, it will surely evolve into a chorus of the whole army.

Of course, Lin Feng wouldn't indulge himself so much.

Except for a crazy time with everyone on the evening of the 8th, from the early morning of the 9th, Lin Feng led all the special fighters, elite fighters, and ethnic minority soldiers who entered the selection competition within 100 to resume the arduous special training.

Nearly 500 people closely followed the 200 warships, took the waterway as the central line, crossed mountains and mountains, crossed forests and valleys, swam across waters, and consciously carried out various types of field training; When resting at night, they will strengthen basic knife skills, formations, and combat training. Although he was very tired, Lin Feng was always very excited in his heart, the physical fitness of these newly recruited special fighters was too good, even Luo Feifeng and Zhang Hongling walked on mountain roads like walking on flat ground, and their combat training never lagged behind, which made many soldiers of the Chutang elite army sigh to themselves.

The fleet sailed out of Lishui, turned to Lingqu, and then turned into the Xiangjiang River, and arrived in Yongzhou in five days. Under the city of Yongzhou, Lin Feng met Feng Jingyun and Liu Qi, who came to report the news.

Lin Feng pulled the two of them, called Zhou Xingfeng, walked to Liu Renzhen's cabin, and listened to the detailed process of the chaos in Tanzhou City together.

After listening to the wonderful twists and turns of the whole process, Zhou Xingfeng and Liu Renzhen took the lead and couldn't help but applaud and sigh.

Lin Feng praised them well, and immediately asked, "What is the current situation in Tanzhou City?" ”

Feng Jingyun replied excitedly: "After we posted the notice of rent exemption for three years all over the city, the people inside and outside the city rushed to tell each other, and every day people went to the barracks to send things to express their gratitude!" After the disbandment, about one-third of the recruits returned, and they were receiving reorganization training at the same time as the soldiers of Yuantanzhou; The court is led by the old man Tuoba Heng, and it is operating normally. ”

Lin Feng really put his mind at ease, and then asked, "What about Ning Yuanjun, Langzhou, and Chenzhou?" ”

"Lin Renzhao and Xi Mucheng have already led 2,000 troops to the Ningyuan army, ready to salute first and then soldier! The direction of Langzhou sent Ma Bin as the commander, and it has been five days since the departure, and I believe that Ma Guanghui will definitely make a wise choice! As for Chenzhou, Liu Yan and Panlong joined forces and really rebelled! Feng Jingyun continued to reply.

The excited looks on Zhou Xingfeng and Liu Renzhen's faces froze, and they looked at Lin Feng together.

"After we came back, we chose two Tujia soldiers of the Zhao Ye tribe and rushed to Chenzhou to report that the battle of Guizhou had failed. Soon after, the two of them rushed back to report, Pan Long and Liu Yan just patted, and after the two discussed, they really raised their banners and rebelled, calling themselves Hanguo! Feng Jingyun said with a sneer.

It's really going to join in the fun! There is a Han in the north and a Han in the south, and now, Liu Yan has made a Han in the middle of Chenzhou (now Yuanling County, Huaihua City, Hunan Province), which is really ridiculous.

"Those who have different intentions can't hide it after all!" Lin Feng glanced at Zhou Xingfeng intentionally or unintentionally, Zhou Xingfeng pretended not to pay attention, but a layer of cold sweat was already on his body.

Lin Feng adjusted his sitting posture and said contemptuously: "Don't be afraid of a small rash move!" Liu Envoy, you have to lead the army back to Tanzhou to sit in battle, and wait for the good news! The wind and clouds follow me, let's lead 5,000 troops to quell the Chenzhou rebellion! ”

"Lord Lin, it's not proper!" The people in the cabin all exclaimed in surprise and spoke out to stop them.

"It doesn't matter! Liu Qi, you go back to report the news, and after returning to Tanzhou, let Chen Desheng lead the special soldiers in the city to sneak into Chenzhou first, and I will arrive later! Lin Feng still said with a grin.

In Lin Feng's opinion, five thousand elite soldiers plus five hundred wolf-like special soldiers, this is already very face-saving for Liu Yan!

Raise your fingers and count, the countries around Chenzhou can't reach out to him, Houshu in the west never cares about the outside world, and Nanping, which is not adjacent to the north, is a scoundrel, even the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Northern Han Dynasty don't throw off, will help a small Chenzhou? In this way, the people who can be deceived by Liu Yan into the thief ship are none other than the ethnic minorities in the surrounding mountains; Now, as long as the news of the complete victory in the battle of Guizhou passes, let alone a small number of Yi soldiers, I am afraid that even Panlong should be scared away!

Liu Renzhen looked at Lin Feng, who was full of confidence, with some concern, and exchanged a look with Zhou Xingfeng, and no longer persuaded Lin Feng.

When the major event was agreed, Lin Feng immediately tightened his military discipline, and all the soldiers gathered to disembark as a team, carried out a forced march, and casually told the people along the way that our army had returned with a great victory!

Along the Xiangshui River, the huge fleet of warships and the majestic infantry have long attracted the attention of everyone along the coast, and then heard the oral propaganda of the soldiers on the shore, the people naturally know the news of the great victory of the Tang army in Guizhou, and also understand that the road to Lingnan has been opened, especially the great news that the Tang Dynasty has exempted the people of Chu from renting for three years.

The people who heard the news rushed to tell each other, and soon some people spontaneously welcomed them along the way, ate pot pulp, and took the initiative to comfort the Tang army. As for the Ma brothers, they will only be mentioned as negative examples when everyone compares them with Lin Feng, and as for the Chu State, soon everyone won't even want to mention it! Ordinary people, the most practical, who is good to themselves will remember whom!

Following Lin Feng's order, Liu Qiyi took the lead and took the lead in returning to Tanzhou to resume his life.

When Li Congqian heard Lin Feng's arrangement, he immediately asked Tuoba Heng for consultation. Tuoba Heng naturally knew that Chenzhou was easy to defend and difficult to attack, so he immediately volunteered to be a messenger and came to persuade Liu Yan to surrender.

Of course, Li Congqian did not accept Tuoba Heng's suggestion, on the one hand, he sent Chen Desheng to lead the special soldiers and some recruitment masters who had never left to sneak to Chenzhou first, and on the other hand, he sent a special soldier with his own handwritten letter to persuade Lin Feng not to underestimate the enemy, and to return to Tanzhou City to discuss carefully before acting.

On the evening of December 13, when Lin Feng led his army to Liling, he received a handwritten letter from Li Congqian. When a group of main figures reunited in the cabin to discuss, Zhou Xingfeng couldn't sit still, got up and said: "Lord Lin, Lord Liu, the relationship with that Liu Yan is acceptable, can you allow the next to go to Chenzhou to surrender on behalf of the Tang Dynasty?" ”

Since ancient times, wealth and danger have been sought! In the past two days, Zhou Xingfeng thought about it and thought that his position in Lin Feng's faction was not secure, and Langzhou's position was so important, he was afraid that the Langzhou Festival that Lin Feng had promised earlier would be in vain, and he made up his mind to take a risk.

Lin Feng and Liu Renzhen looked at each other and immediately nodded in agreement!

Soldiers are fast. After dinner, Zhou Xingfeng rode away with six guards with torches. Lin Feng also ordered five hundred elites, set off on foot overnight, and went diagonally to Chenzhou by taking the mountain road. Liu Renzhen was also a little anxious, and ordered all the soldiers to stop camping, and selected 5,000 elite soldiers to take a boat overnight to go first, and rushed to Chenzhou urgently, and he took the other soldiers to delay.

On the evening of December 17, Zhou Xingfeng led his personal guards to report his name, successfully passed through the heavily guarded Qinglong Gorge, rushed to the city of Chenzhou, where the city gate was closed, and signed up to call the door again.
