"Changsha Ma Yin is disrespectful to the court, has a heart of disobedience, and now he will raise troops to rebel, and you must transfer troops to follow."

"Your Highness, how many soldiers and horses do you need me to wait?"

"The three of you, each recruit 10,000 horses."

Hiss~~~

Xiang Bi and the three of them all took a deep breath. They have just lost their troops and recruited another 10,000, and I am afraid that all the men in the clan will have to go to war.

"Your Highness, there are only 10,000 men in our department, and if they are all requisitioned, there will be no men in the clan."

Li Yu looked at them, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Then let's recruit five thousand elite soldiers." ”

"Yes, yes."

They were all smiling, as if they had been rewarded.

Li Yu asked Xiang Bi to bring troops to Wuling to rendezvous, while Song Ye and Shi Changyi waited in Yuanling and Lipu.

The three of them left Wuling, returned to their own territory, and began the recruitment work.

However, he said that Li Yu was in Wuling, picked and selected the surrendered barbarians, and with the cooperation of Dawu, he re-recruited new soldiers and gathered 10,000 people.

The number of weapons and armor in the Wuling arsenal is limited, and there are even fewer good things in Lizhou, Chenzhou, and Lizhou.

He wrote to Zhao Kuangming in Yuezhou to transfer a batch of armor weapons from the Jiangling arsenal, otherwise although there were many barbarian soldiers, they were not armoured, how could they fight with the Changsha soldiers?

On the first day of October, the fleet from Jiangling entered Dongting along the water, went out of Chiting Lake, turned into Yuanshui, crossed Longyang, and came to Wuling City in Langzhou.

The mighty transport fleet not only brought a large amount of military funds, but also grain and grass.

This is the intimacy of the old man.

Although Li Yu only needs military funds, he doesn't need to take the initiative to mention the matter of grain and grass, Zhao Kuangming will take the initiative to give it.

He knew that his son Zhao Chenggui had a pimple in his heart, and the more this was the case, the more he had to be good to Li Yu, which could be regarded as sealing his son-in-law's mouth in disguise, and they all said that eating other people's mouths was short.

The ship was accompanied by letters from home.

It was written by the embroiderer Bi Niang.

After such a long separation, the two princesses missed each other, and they told their feelings of missing their children under the pretext that they missed their father.

"Husband, are you okay? Yang Er Jue'er misses you these days, and she cries every day, which makes me and Bi Niang anxious. ”

Looking at this familiar tone, thinking of the embroidery girl who was at a loss by the two children on the bed, Li Yu was happy in his heart, and the corners of his mouth curved.

"Husband, now that Yang'er and Jue'er are fighting, I slapped them a few times, hum, it's not worry-free."

Li Yu appeared in front of him, snorting and staring at the two children, and her playful and cute appearance made his heart warm.

It is not easy for these two little princesses to preside over such a big palace.

Although it was hard to fight outside, when he thought of his wife and children at home, Li Yu felt that he was full of energy.

Moving bricks outside by himself, and his daughter-in-law taking care of the children at home, this is the life he wanted most in his previous life, and now, he has realized it unconsciously, happiness.

He brushed a little bit and replied to them.

"Embroidered Niang Bi Niang loves his wife, and she sees words like faces."

"I'm out on a war, and all is well, don't think about it."

"Yang'er Jue'er, although she is young, has a heavy responsibility for the family, and she should be enlightened to study."

"Today, I invite the public school to sacrifice wine, and Zhang Gong is the prince's mansion master and teaches the second son."

"In the leisure of the war, I miss my home all the time, although I am outside, my heart has returned."

"Wangxian's wife is a good housekeeper, harmony is essential, and if you are undecided, you can discuss with Changshi Sima."

"Words go with you."

The next day, the Wuling barbarians were issued with armor weapons, which was not enough, and only five thousand of the most elite barbarians were equipped.

Li Yu sent his new plan to Yuezhou and asked his father-in-law to act according to the plan.

On the fifth day of the first month of October, Xiang Bi of Lizhou came to Wuling with 5,000 barbarian soldiers and joined Li Yu.

On the sixth day of the first month, Ma Wanli took 5,000 Jingxiang troops and 5,000 Wuling barbarians to converge with the Lizhou barbarians who were heading to the city, a total of 15,000 men and horses, with military supplies, grain and grass, and went to Yiyang in the southeast by land.

Li Yu took 3,000 musketeers, 5,000 Wuling barbarians, and 5,000 Jingxiang troops, a total of 13,000 men and horses, and took military supplies, grain and grass, and went to Chenzhou by land.

Just when Ma Wanli and Li Yu each led their troops and quietly headed towards their destination, the peace negotiations between Yuezhou and Changsha were still going on intensely.

For more than 20 days, Cui Ying has sent a circular to the couch every two days to report on the progress and problems of the negotiations in a timely manner.

Changsha Ma Yin replied in a timely manner.

In this way, the two sides engaged in tug-of-war negotiations, which lasted for several days.

Changsha is not in a hurry, and Yuezhou is not in a hurry, everyone is deliberately delaying time.

Until the seventh day of October.

Zhao Kuangning and Zhao Kuangming no longer met Cui Ying, but one of Jingnan was engaged in docking with Cui Ying.

Cui Ying felt strange in her heart, but she still didn't doubt it.

These days, the Zhao brothers have a good attitude towards themselves, they eat and drink well every day, and the negotiations have made progress, but they have not finalized the details when both sides have deliberately delayed.

The next day, it was still the same, and there were still people at the same level who were engaged in talking to themselves.

The third day was still the same.

It had been three days since she had seen the Zhao brothers, and Cui Ying felt that something was wrong.

He didn't dare to delay any longer, and in the afternoon of the same day, he took a boat into the lake.

He was astonished.

The warships that were moored here at the beginning were gone, the lake was empty, and the birds fluttering by, one or two chirps, which made Cui Ying panic.

It's over, fooled.

At this time, Cui Ying secretly thought in her heart, Jingxiang's army was afraid that it was already on the way to attack Changsha!

He hurried and hurried through Dongting overnight, and came to the waterway of Dongting into Xiangyin in the afternoon of the next day, but was intercepted by Jingxiang warships.

"What have you done? I am an envoy from Changsha, and I want to go back to Changsha on business. ”

Cui Ying had the courage to scold Jing Xiangbing who was on the ship for inspection.

Jing Xiang's military leader saw Cui Ying's road guide, so he said unhurriedly: "Lord Cui, I have been ordered by the military that no boats shall be walked here, please come with us." ”

"What have you done? I am here to envoy, the two armies are fighting, and I will not kill the envoy! ”

"Rest assured, we won't be killed."

Poor Cui Ying was taken away by Jing Xiangbing like this.

Changsha City, Wu'an Army Festival Embassy.

Ma Yin took the emergency report in his hand and was a little panicked.

These days, he negotiated with Yuezhou, and both sides dragged their feet and lacked sincerity.

The reason why Ma Yin procrastinated was because he knew that he would have to negotiate peace sooner or later, compensation and so on, and since Yuezhou was not in a hurry, he was happy to talk slowly. For every day he slows, his strength recovers.

Who knew that on the ninth day of October, Xiangyin reported urgently, and the Jingxiang army besieged Xiangyin, and letters asking for help were one after another.

Although Ma Hao, the deputy envoy of Jiedu, personally guarded the town, but the soldiers were few and far between, how could he hold on without reinforcements.

Taking advantage of this time of negotiation, Ma Yin transferred troops from Shaozhou, Yongzhou, Daozhou, Lianzhou, Chenzhou, and Hengzhou, and also gathered 30,000 horses in Changsha.

Seeing that Xiangyin was in an emergency, he urgently ordered 20,000 soldiers to come forward to support Xiangyin.

Xiangyin is the gateway of Changsha, if it is lost, then Changsha will be under the city.

Just one day after the departure of the 20,000 army, Ma Yin received another urgent report, and Yiyang fell.

Ah!

How could Yiyang fall?!

The Jingxiang army is taking the water route, does they have a water army to go to the water and defeat Yiyang? If that's the case, wouldn't Shaozhou be dangerous?

Because the water originated in Shaozhou, if you hit it along the water, the whole Shaozhou will not be protected.

Shaoyang, the capital city of Shaozhou, has only more than 1,000 town soldiers left, and it can't be stopped at all.

What to do?

Ma Yin is now in a lawsuit.

Send troops to Shaoyang to defend, but there are only 20,000 soldiers and horses left in their hands, and it will be useless to send less, and if they send more, what should Changsha do?

When he was in a dilemma, Li Duo came out of the class and said: "Lord, the minister is willing to lead the troops to support Shaoyang." ”

"It's just that there are few soldiers, and Changsha is afraid of losing."

Ma Yin hesitated.

"Lord, take the waterway, only Xiangshui. Now there were 5,000 men and horses in Xiangyin, and now there are 20,000 reinforcements, so it shouldn't be a big problem. On the land route, General Yao guarded Yudi Mountain, which could block the enemy from Changsha. ”

"Yiyang is lost, what can I do?"

"If you can divide 10,000 troops to regain Yiyang, you will have no worries by land."

"Well, that's right."

Ma Yin thought that Changsha would be foolproof if it had its own guard. With Xiangyin and Yiyang in front of them, it is not easy for the enemy to break through.

In this way, there is no big problem with reinforcing Shaoyang.

"Okay, just reinforce Shaoyang, you bring 5,000 men and horses to reinforce quickly."

The Changsha garrison, which was originally small, was divided into 5,000.

Ma Yin only had 15,000 capable soldiers in his hands to defend the huge Changsha City.

However, it was said that Li Yu led an army of 13,000 to the southwest, and was welcomed by Song Ye in Yuanling City, Chenzhou.

The two sides joined forces, and 18,000 troops rushed to Pupu.

On October 15, Li Yu, Song Ye, and Shi Changyi led an army of 23,000 into Shaozhou.

Cross the water and follow the water to the east.

It's more than ten days to go.

Along the way, deep in the mountains and valleys, birds and apes chirp.

The temperature is low in the morning and evening, but it is unbearably hot in the afternoon.

Many of the musketeers fell ill.

Li Yu couldn't bear to abandon and slowed down his march.

The brutes were at home and well adapted to the climate.

At the end of October, Li Yu's army finally came to the confluence of Lianshui and Xiangshui.

The temperature is getting colder, and the mouth is spitting white air.

Looking at the turbulent river and the surrounding cliffs, Li Yu was attracted by this magnificent scenery.

Along the stone wall path on the edge of the canyon, the army finally crossed Xiangshui, came to the east of Xiangshui, where Xiangshui also turned to the east, followed Xiangshui to the east for a day, saw a valley to the north and turned back, this road is the land passage of Changsha to Liling and Xiangtan Hengyang behind it.

The army repaired here for a day, and then traveled north along the valley.

On this march, the road was difficult to pass, only pedestrians could pass, so they had to abandon their carriages and horses, and each man carried his own rations on his back.

At this time, there was not much ration left on his body, and he couldn't go out again, for fear that the whole army would run out of food.

Resisting his exhaustion, he climbed over the mountains and walked forward for two days, until he finally saw a large city in front of him.

"Your Highness, there is Changsha City in front."

Shi Changyi pointed to Dacheng and said excitedly.

These caves are used to robbing and robbing, in their minds, follow King De, is to eat and drink spicy, into Changsha, this is a dream that has been thinking for many years, is it really going to come true?

Li Yu looked at Changsha City, and finally exhaled turbid air in his heart.

Changsha, I'm here.
