Chapter Seventy-Two: A Narrow Road Encounter

Mo Qian was about to answer Yang He's words, when suddenly Cao Guoqi, the prefect of Yuanzhou, ran in out of breath.

"Lord, lord, Linjiang urgently, Liu Liangzuo's 20,000 soldiers and horses have arrived in Linjiang!"

Mo Qian stood up suddenly, he learned the news of Liu Liangzuo's entry into Jiangxi seven days ago, when he received the news, Liu Liangzuo was looting in Jiujiang, Mo Qian thought that this guy would have to rush for at least ten days and half a month on the way, but he didn't expect it to come so fast!

Mo Qian turned to Yang Suxin and said: "Suxin, you take care of your grandfather at home, grandpa, you can cultivate with peace of mind, I have promoted Wang Zhongyi to the post of Yichun County, you can recuperate with peace of mind!" ”

After Mo Qian finished speaking, he turned around and was about to go out, but as soon as he turned around, his hand was grabbed.

Yang Suxin stared at his eyes and said: "Be careful all the way, you are a scholar, but don't risk yourself, pay attention to your own safety!" ”

Although the two have been married for several months, they really don't spend much time together.

She already knew about Mo Qian leading 5,000 troops to ambush 10,000 officers and soldiers in person, and Yang Suxin's mood was happy at first when she heard the news.

But when I thought about it, I felt that it was very terrible, Mo Qian was a scholar, and he didn't need his generals to lead the troops, but personally led the army to attack, if there was a good one, wouldn't she have to be a widow at a young age?

Now that the imperial court has sent troops to encircle and suppress him, Yang Su is afraid that Mo Qian will follow the same as last time, and he will personally lead the troops to attack.

Good luck doesn't always accompany a person, and if it's bad luck this time, the consequences are unimaginable.

Mo Qian took his newlywed wife's hand and comforted her, saying, "I am now the commander of the righteous army, and I have guards by my side, so it is not so easy to get into trouble!" ”

Yang Suxin couldn't help but persuade him, and couldn't help but hurriedly say: "No, I have to be by your side to protect you!" ”

"Nonsense, grandpa is seriously ill now, and it is the time when he needs someone to take care of him, as soon as you leave, who will take care of him?

Besides, there are 20,000 soldiers in the whole army, and none of them are accompanied by families, if I, the commander of the rebel army, take my wife into battle, what do the 20,000 soldiers think? ”

"Son-in-law Sun is right, Su Xin, Qian'er is doing big things, you can't go to make trouble for him, the so-called governing the army is governing the heart, if you can't let the soldiers and the commander have one heart, then no matter how powerful the army is, it will collapse."

As soon as Yang He spoke, Yang Suxin couldn't say anything more, so he could only watch Mo Qian follow Cao Guoqi out.

Cao Guoqi is now the prefect of Yuanzhou Mansion, Mo Qian led the troops to the battle, and Cao Guoqi and Yang He were responsible for taking care of their hometown.

Wang Bingzhong went to Wanzai Renzhi County, and Meng Daohong served as Pingxiang Zhixian.

As for Shi Yansheng, who surrendered to Mo Qian at the beginning, he was arranged by Mo Qian to be in Fenyi, and depending on his governance of Fenyi, Mo Qian made plans to keep this person again.

Cheng Zhidun was fully responsible for Mo Qian's military ration work, and now he has laid down the Linjiang Mansion, and Cheng Zhidun has been stationed in the Fucheng and was officially appointed as the prefect of Linjiang.

Except for Ji'an, which was governed by Li Banghua, the other two provinces were all subordinate ministers under Mo Qian.

Mo Qian disregarded his previous suspicions and boldly used the subordinates, which also set a good example for the scholars in the Sanfu area, and for a while, there were hundreds of people who took refuge in the poor family.

Mo Qian arranged these people to serve in various towns and villages, and trained them as preparatory magistrates, as long as the performance assessment was good, and when a larger territory was laid, he would immediately send them to take office.

As soon as Mo Qian left the room, he asked Cao Guoqi, "Are you ready for the horse?" ”

"It's ready, lord, Qian Dayou said, as soon as Hua Ma Liu's army arrived, it did not immediately attack the city, but garrisoned outside the city!"

After hearing this, Mo Qian pondered for a while and said: "Although the Qingjiang Mansion City is small, but there are eight thousand troops of mine in it, he will take it for a while and a half, I'm afraid it won't be so easy, but this guy is not a good person, his subordinates are all from rogue backgrounds, I am not afraid that he will attack the city, but I am afraid that the people of Qingjiang will suffer!" ”

Cao Guoqi also sighed when he heard it: "I heard that the people of Jiujiang Mansion have been harmed by Huama Liu, and there are dozens of villages that have been slaughtered alone, Wang Bingzhong wrote that many people from Jiujiang Mansion have recently gone south to join our righteous army, Wang Bingzhong asked if you want to accept them, lord, what do you think?" ”

"Collect, why not! The people of other provinces came to vote, which shows that the influence of our rebels has spread to the whole province, tell the counties, no matter which prefecture and which county the people come to vote, we will accept them all, but when collecting, we should verify more, and the newly recruited rebels should also be placed separately, and they must not be allowed to get together. ”

"What the lord said is that I will send someone to tell the counties!"

"Well, I'll go to Linjiang first, you have a good family in Yuanzhou, by the way, it's time to spare, I'm afraid that this time I will fight with Huama Liu for at least a month or two, you can organize some people to transport grain to Linjiang, and send someone to tell me before departure, I can arrange soldiers and horses to escort!"

"Yes!"

After arranging everything, Mo Qian rode a fast horse and went east out of Sendai Gate under the escort of thirty personal soldiers, and galloped all the way to Fenyi County to change horses.

When the team reached the town of Huangtugang, which was far from Fucheng, they encountered a cavalry team of thirty people.

This cavalry team was a ranger sent by Liu Liangzuo, and it was specially sent out to explore the road and inquire about the news.

The person in charge of leading the team was a cavalry general, named Huang Dayong, a native of northern Shaanxi, who fought with Liu Liangzuo when he was in the peasant army, and was already a veteran.

Huang Dayong saw Mo Qian and his thirty soldiers who were also riding horses at a glance.

Mo Qian's thirty soldiers were all wearing exquisite armor, and Huang Dayong immediately realized that they were an unusual anti-thief team.

He immediately ordered: "Brothers, rush up to me and annihilate them all!" ”

The thirty northern cavalry immediately clamped the horse's belly and slapped the horse's buttocks with the back of the knife, and the war horse immediately rushed towards Mo Qian's side with its head held high.

Yuan Xingzu, the captain of the personal army who was responsible for defending Mo Qian, saw it and immediately commanded: "Second brother, you take five people to escort the marshal into the city, and the rest of the brothers, fight with me!" ”

Yuan Xingzu has three brothers, he is the eldest in the family, the second Yuan Xingdi joined the rebel army with him, because he has practiced martial arts all the year round, and his martial arts are outstanding, he is valued by Mo Qian, and both brothers have been selected into the marshal's personal guards.

The younger brother Yuan Xingjia did not enter the pro-soldier guard, but became a hundred households in the righteous army.

The three brothers were all volunteers who participated in Yuanzhou, and they were loyal to Mo Qian.

As soon as he saw a group of officers and cavalry attacking, Yuan Xingzu didn't think about it, so he immediately assigned his second brother to escort Mo Qian into the city.

There are still forty miles to Linjiang Mansion, and it only takes more than half an hour to get there by horseback.

But if there is a cavalry chasing after you, it may not be possible to reach it safely.

Yuan Xingzu led twenty-four personal soldiers to directly shoot their horses and rush towards Huang Dayong's cavalry team.

The two teams were close to each other in an instant, and Mo Qian rode on his horse and glanced back, finding that his personal guards had lost five people after a charge, while the enemy cavalry team had only three people.

Mo Qian immediately realized that this small cavalry team had a good combat strength, far surpassing all the officers and troops he had encountered before.

After Huang Dayong led his men to charge, he was actually surprised, he couldn't imagine that the rebels in Jiangxi were so powerful that they could actually kill their five brothers.

Huang Dayong saw that the gang had stayed behind to intercept them, in order to send the other six away.

He immediately shouted: "Go and chase those six horsemen, there must be a big man of the thief there, and the others, charge with me and kill all the thief in front of me!" ”

Huang Dayong raised his saber and led his men to rush towards Yuan Xingzu and the others.

At this time, Mo Qian had already run out with the five personal soldiers for more than a mile, looking at the five cavalry chasing behind him, Mo Qian couldn't help but regret it: "I was careless, I knew that I would have made a detour to the south of He!" ”

Mo Qian thought that he was riding a horse, and his speed was fast enough, so he should be able to quickly enter Linjiang Mansion from the north bank of the Yuan River, but before he arrived, he met Huama Liu's scout team.

It seems that although this Hua Ma Liu is a bastard, at least he is much stronger than those officers and soldiers in Jiangxi.

Mo Qian led the horse whip to speed up the horse, wanting to reach Fucheng quickly, if the speed was fast enough, he should be able to save Yuan Xingzu and them before they were all killed.

Yuan Xing ran with Mo Qian for the first time, and looked back behind him, he saw that there were fewer and fewer soldiers around Yuan Xingzu, and he couldn't help but shed tears.

"Brother!" Yuan Xingdi shouted, wanting to turn around.

"Don't go, if you go, you'll die in vain!" Mo Qian saw Yuan Xingdi's thoughts and immediately stopped him.

"Dashuai, my brother he...."

"What is the manly husband crying about, your brother is good, he didn't lose the face of our rebel brothers!"

Yuan Xingdi couldn't help but wipe away his tears when he heard this, he clenched the reins in his hand and couldn't help but look at the battlefield behind him.

After a few back and forth charges, the number of pro-soldiers became smaller and smaller, from the initial twenty-five to the current only four, and all of them were wounded.

And the situation on Huang Dayong's side is not very optimistic, his twenty-four brothers have only five left so far, only one more than the other party, but the injuries are far less serious than Yuan Xingzu.

Huang Dayong held a bloody saber and stared at Yuan Xingzu in front of him: "I can't imagine that there are men like you among the thieves, I Huang Dayong admires, you surrender, I recommend you to Liu Dashuai, and you will fly Huang Tengda!" ”

Yuan Xingzu spat on the ground and scolded: "I'm sorry, even the kind of goods like Hua Ma Liu are also worthy of my Yuan Xingzu's life?" He is 108,000 miles worse than my handsome, you look at it, as soon as my handsome arrives, he will definitely beat the flower horse Liu to the ground! ”

Huang Dayong couldn't help laughing when he heard this, he said: "I heard that the Mo thief in Yuanzhou is still a little doll, only less than twenty years old, the one who escaped on horseback just now shouldn't be him, I thought it was a hero, it turned out to be a rat?" ”

As soon as Yuan Xingzu heard that Huang Dayong insulted his handsome, he immediately said angrily: "Don't insult my handsome, if you have the ability, you will decide life and death!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Yuan Xingzu rushed towards Huang Dayong and the five with four people.
