Chapter 220: Rubbing Rice Fellow
The decree and the official document of the Privy Council were delivered the day after Xu Yong's soldiers arrived at the Peach Blossom Spring.
Xu Jin was officially named the envoy of the Linquan Military Festival, and his governance was in Linquan Town; Li Sigui was meritorious in planning and led the history of Tanzhou's assassination; Li Shoujie was the training envoy of the Tanzhou regiment; Fei Yanggu is the deputy envoy of Tanzhou regimental training, and others such as Meng Tianniu and Fei Datou also have their own rewards and promotions.
"Congratulations, my lord, the twenty-four-year-old festival was established, and it has never happened in the Great Song Dynasty." Li Sigui said.
"Let's celebrate." Li Shoujie said.
"How can you be happy, now your heart is full of the decisive battle in front of you." Xu Yongzhi said with a wry smile.
"Then let's celebrate after laying the Peach Blossom Spring." Duan Meimei said.
Xu Yongzhi's cavalry and navy cut off the connection between the Peach Blossom Source and the outside world, although the wizards can still communicate through the portal, but the connection between the waterway and the outside world, the Peach Blossom Land was blocked in terms of materials, and this place could not achieve self-sufficiency in food, firewood and grass.
At the foot of the Peach Blossom Spring, a small but prosperous town soon formed.
At first it was the army, then all kinds of merchants, porters, tents, bamboo huts, liquor shops, tailors, brothels, and finally inns.
"Come on, sisters, this army is quite rich." Some of the girls who were in the attached business hurriedly wrote it to their old friends.
Xu Yongzhi's army, the salary was originally the first class of the Song army, General Xu also gave some bounties to those who fought bravely, this team has a lot of money, good discipline, you do business with him, you don't have to worry about being robbed, nearby merchants come to trade with them.
This was common in classical and medieval times, and in Xenophon's Long March, Greek mercenaries did not use supply lines at all, but instead used gold and silver coins to buy bread, meat, and wineβthey relied on the markets they went with them for supplies, and in neutral areas, on local markets.
A large number of strange guests also came to visit, these are the people from the rivers and lakes of Lianghu, Liangguang and Jiangxi, there are doctors, sword sects, Taoist temples, gangs, all kinds of men and women, tall, short, fat and thin, all came.
"I have received the favor of General Xu's father, and now I want to help General Xu avenge it." That's what everybody says.
Xu Yongzhi didn't know any of them.
"Are these people all summoned by the Divine Arrow Order?" Xu Yongzhi looked at these guys who drank and gambled for money, and asked Xiaogui and Duan Meimei.
"I'm afraid it's not," Duan Meimei is in charge of receiving these guests these days and arranging temporary accommodation for them, most of these people say that they have an old relationship with Xu Yongzhi's father, but when asked how they have a relationship, they are all stammering.
"They don't know you, and they're here to help you, and they just seem to want you to owe them a favor." Duan Meimei said, taking out one of Xu Taishi's notebooks.
It has the addresses and names of all of Yamando's friends, and these are people with whom they actually correspond.
"None of these people are on this friend list." Duan Meimei said.
"People on your friends list, don't expect too much," Xiaogui said, "There's a reason why Master won't let you ask them for help." β
When Xu Yongzhi provoked the Jiedu envoy, the eldest princess, and his parents to be sentenced to death, these friends were silent one by one, and now they all suddenly came back and forth to resume contact, just because he really had an army behind him and a Great Song official family.
"It's really poor in the downtown and no one asks, and the rich have distant relatives in the mountains." Xu Yongzhi sighed and instructed Li Shoujie to let the military chief keep an eye on these relatives and friends, lest they rob the nearby people, or take advantage of the fire to rob the Peach Blossom Garden after it was defeated.
"It's a bunch of locusts." Xiaogui said.
Xiao Gui's magic arrow order, the notification is his own people, but the news on the rivers and lakes spread quickly, as soon as I heard that the young owner of Shanzitang came back and became a general, everyone held the relationship between eating and drinking, picking up foreign falls and "developing contacts", and came over after smelling the smell.
"Why don't you get rid of them." Duan Meimei felt sorry for these hospitality expenses.
"Don't, don't." Xu Yongzhi said, "Go buy pigs, buy chickens, and let them eat." β
"These people can't help, but if you tear your face with them, going out won't necessarily hurt you." Xiaogui said.
"So let them eat, let's be quiet, right?" Duan Meimei asked.
"No, not quite," Xu Yongzhi said, "they are here, they will anger Li Forsythia and make her can't help but come out and do it, and at this time, when we take the opportunity to enter the Peach Blossom Spring, we must enter the Sanctuary and eliminate the cliffs made by these witchcraft." β
"Will it work?" Duan Meimei looked at the towering mountain wall and was a little uneasy.
"Yes," Xu Yongzhi nodded, "We all have to be ready, ready to attack at any time." β
Duan Meimei put on the dragon armor and hummed a song softly, Xiaogui leaned her head on her shoulder, the mountain of the Peach Blossom Garden was too high, and the sun had long since disappeared, but when the stars first appeared, a riot broke out around the camp.
According to Li Lianqiao's idea, the best way is to wait for Xu Jin to withdraw his troops, especially when she found that there were about 30,000 soldiers besieging Peach Blossom Spring, she figured out this truth.
This eldest princess has never fought a defensive battle, when have you ever seen a wizard defend?
But the people of Peach Blossom Paradise are not so scared because of those walls.
The towering cliff separated the artillery fire of the Song army and the sound of all the enemies, and most of the residents of Peach Blossom Paradise did not know that there was such an enemy, and when they saw the deacons shouting and shouting for the assembly of the servant army, they only thought that this was a transfer.
"Stupid wizards," Li Lian Qiao sighed to herself, and after thinking about it, she organized a team of twenty wizards.
This is a group of young Zhuang faction family, but also the Yu family loyal supporters, their family is relatively low, the favorite is the fight, every year they will hold a large-scale anti-Sui historical play event, let the servants and slaves play the Sui army, and then with a big shield and blunt sword, rush over and beat them to the head and blood, to prove that although they are wizards, they are also full of martial virtue and combat effectiveness.
Each young wizard organized twenty domestic servants, which made four hundred, and Li Forsythia armed another hundred gladiators, and five hundred people were organized in such a noisy manner.
The team was handed over to a young wizard named Shui Nan Shu.
"Eldest princess," Shui Nanshu said to Li Lianqiao, "let's attack." β
"Wait, it's not a priority." Li Lianqiao said.
"What are you waiting for! They scolded so badly. Shui Nanshu said.
This is the group of Xu Yongzhi's "friends".
In fact, these people have no position, when Li Lianqiao sentenced Xu Yongzhi's family and scolded Xu Yongzhi, those people also regarded Xu Yongzhi as a "negative man" and "evil man", but today, the negative man has a large army, and he has become a festival envoy, and the Southern Tang Dynasty was squeezed and retreated, so Li Lianqiao became an "evil woman", "poisonous woman" and "shame".
These heroes of the rivers and lakes, who drink too much wine every day, are scolding Li Forsythia, they actually don't know what is in this mountain (if they are clear, they won't be so tossed), scolding the street, drinking, and finally urinating in the peach blossom garden.
No wonder Shuinan is so angry! This young man admires Li Forsythia in his heart, and he hopes to prove himself and be angry for the eldest princess.
"Let me take someone to beat up this group!" Shui Nanshu and Li Lianqiao teleported to the lookout platform outside the mountain, looking at the chaotic camp below.
"Xu Jin is very cautious in the use of soldiers, this camp is deliberately made so chaotic, I think it's a bait." Li Lianqiao said.
"Even if it's a bait, you have to kill it first to frustrate their spirit!" Shui Nan said.
This is a big mistake, fighting a war is like this, what others want you to do, you must not do that, if you have to be angry and get into other people's traps, even if you are brave, you will become a turtle in an urn.
Li Lianqiao thought about it, it seems that it can be, after all, it is always so consumed, and it is not her eldest princess's style.
"You take nine wizards over, open ten portals, twenty people pass through each door, teleport directly between them, and kill."
At this moment, Li Forsythia dispatched half of the elite.
Shui Nanshu excitedly went to give the order.
Li Lianqiao thought about it, if he could set fire to Xu Jin's camp, no matter how strong Xu Jin's wizard was, it would be useless.
What a bleak duel.
The Wizards' Guild wants to win by sneak attacks, swords, and arson;
The Great Song army, relying on the strength of the wizards, maintained the peace of the camp.
Li Lianqiao couldn't help but smile bitterly, the fall of the wizarding world is just around the corner, but before this moment comes, he must kill all the people he hates.
She looked at the army of servants in front of her and made up her mind.
Of course, what Xu Yongzhi is waiting for is this moment!
