Chapter 298: Preparation
500,000 quintals of grain and grass set off from Yingcheng and transported to Meicheng in a mighty way, when Ge Cifeng saw the grain and grass, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and rewarded the Sichuan and Shu troops who escorted the grain and grass. The abundance of rewards made all the Chu Xiang generals envious.
"Go back and tell Lord Peng, I have written down the aid of Sichuan and Shu, and if there is a plan to fight, I will tell you." Ge Cifeng sent away the Sichuan and Shu troops who were escorting grain and grass.
Xu Tong walked over and reminded: "Your Royal Highness, Sichuan Shu sent grain and grass so quickly, be careful of deception." ”
Ge Cifeng nodded: "Well, I know that." But it doesn't matter, since they are willing to give, then once every few months, until they are emptied alive! ”
Xu Tong always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it, and he wanted to persuade but was afraid of blame, so he simply retreated back and didn't go to the "Yaxing" that swept Ge's rhetoric.
Jiang Rong, the leader of the beggar gang, came over and asked: "I said His Royal Highness, I am a big boss, this person can't be idle, I have itchy hands when I am free, when is it appropriate for us to attack?" ”
Ge Cifeng smiled: "Don't worry, wait." ”
Jiang Rong was really anxious now: "No, His Royal Highness, why are you waiting to tell me, I'll just go and fix it." Wait and wait, wait for a head? ”
Ge Cifeng didn't answer, put his hands behind his back, smiled and walked to the military tent.
"Whoosh."
A series of breaking sounds were heard, and everyone looked up. In the blue sky, under the scorching sun, hundreds of figures stepped on the wind, majestic, across the sky.
Jiang Rong's face sank, he shouted, and was about to step to catch up, when he was stopped by Ge Cifeng: "Jiang Gang Leader, slow down!" ”
Hundreds of figures fell from mid-air without a pause, and every time someone fell to the ground, the ground shook for a minute, and the surrounding Chu Xiang soldiers were shaken and staggered.
Jiang Rong looked at the crowd of visitors, and his face was uncertain.
"Qilin Bow See His Royal Highness the Prince!" Hundreds of people shouted in unison.
The surrounding Chu Xiangjun heard it a little inexplicably: Qilin Bow? Is it the title of these people? It's obviously a group of big living people, why do they call the name of the unicorn bow?
Jiang Rong's face gradually turned cold, others didn't know, he couldn't be clearer. The unicorn bow is the dead soldier army beside King Chu Xiang!
King Chu Xiang dared to contend with the imperial court, relying on three trump cards. The world only knows that King Chu Xiang has the Chu Xiang army and the beggar gang, but they don't know that King Chu Xiang also has an unknown army of dead soldiers - the unicorn bow!
The unicorn is a rui beast, with the same name as the dragon and phoenix, and the king of Chu Xiang took this name, and his ambition is self-evident. And the bow, to capture the thief and capture the king, the two armies are fighting, only the bow and arrow, but the first to take the enemy commander.
"Father asked you to come?" Jiang Rong looked down at everyone and asked with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Yes, if it wasn't for my father's order, you wouldn't have come." ”
"The unicorn bow is willing to smear the liver and brain of the prince!" Hundreds of people responded in unison, but the number was small but the momentum was overwhelming.
Jiang Rong asked, "Your Royal Highness, this is..."
Ge Cifeng explained: "That's what I'm waiting for, until now he is willing to hand over the Qilin Bow, heh, two years have not been in vain." ”
Jiang Rong looked at the Qilin Bow people who were kneeling on the ground, most of them had reached the Earth Hidden Realm, and a few of them had even reached the Heavenly Realm!
"With so many masters, His Royal Highness the Prince must be nine out of ten now! Congratulations to His Royal Highness! Jiang Rong's grim face hesitated for a moment, and finally bowed to Ge Cifeng and said complimentally.
Although there are only three hundred, if it is a dead soldier, everyone will die, and three hundred dead soldiers in the Hidden Heaven Realm are indeed enough to change the situation of the battle. For the beggars in the Yin Realm per capita, the Qilin Bow can completely crush the posture, and the balance of force is tilted in favor of Ge Cifeng.
"My father is the most powerful person, and he always hides it, I'm different, I'm a bright and upright person, and I don't treat the Jiang gang leader as an outsider. This is the Qilin Bow of the Dead Soldier Army in the hands of my father, you haven't seen the Jiang Gang Leader yet! Ge Cifeng said with a smile on his face.
"Qilin Bow has seen the Jiang Gang Leader!" Hundreds of people said in unison, the momentum was terrifying, and an invisible pressure hit, Jiang Rong couldn't help but take half a step back before he stabilized his figure.
Jiang Rong suddenly realized at this time that this unicorn bow had already arrived near the barracks, and deliberately waited until today to appear in front of the army. The arrival of Sichuan and Shu grain and grass, and the addition of the unicorn bow, is there anything more morale-boosting than this? Even... Maybe it also hides the meaning of demonstrating to yourself...
Jiang Rong secretly looked at Ge Cifeng out of the corner of his eye: This kid is even more cunning than his father...
Ge Cifeng turned to Xu Tong: "General Xu, how is the matter with the warship?" ”
"His Royal Highness Hui Shizi, the warship has been built, 50,000 sailors have been selected, and they are being trained strictly!" When Xu Tong saw the Qilin Bow arrive, he was also quite excited and replied loudly.
"Good!" Ge Cifeng asked, "Have you ever explored the hidden places near the hidden city?" ”
Xu Tong replied: "There are dense forests near Qiancheng, just hiding soldiers!" Don't say five places, how many soldiers and horses can be hidden! ”
"Come on, quickly go and report to the county lord of Sichuan Shu Peng, and invite her to send troops together to make an appointment to fight in the hidden city!" Ge Ci is full of spirit.
"Sucheng and Taicheng haven't been taken yet, why don't you make an appointment to fight Sucheng?"
"Now the soldiers and horses are in order, and the grain and grass are ready. There is also the father's unicorn bow here, and Sucheng Taicheng is not ready to capture? Just make an appointment to fight in the hidden city, I want to besiege and kill Zhou Ziru here! Ge Cifeng's eyes flashed with a fine light, revealing a hint of fierceness.
Jiang Rong answered on the side: "I'm afraid that Sichuan Shu won't come..."
"Not coming? If Zhou Ziru is destroyed, there is just a reason to settle accounts with them! After Ge Cifeng finished speaking, he turned around and walked back to his main account.
Jiang Rong looked at Ge Cifeng's departing figure, and couldn't help but have some doubts, whether it was right or wrong to take refuge in King Chuxiang and get into trouble together...
……
"Master Yi, this is the third spy who has already caught Chu Xiang, and Ge Cifeng will soon know that we are hiding here." Wang Xuan looked at the spies who were escorted down, and said to Yi Xiaodao worriedly.
"There is Sucheng Taicheng before, and Ge Cifeng's spies can still be sent here, it seems that the war is coming soon." In order to avoid being discovered, Yi Xiaodao moved the military camp to the dense forest north of Tianzhu Mountain. If you want to come here, you have to climb Tianzhu Mountain, or you are very good at walking forest roads, so you can get here.
In the past two years, Yi Xiaodao's Chu Xiang Army and Donglu Army have long practiced the ability to walk in the forest. One by one, they climbed up the trees like nimble apes, and even Wang Xuan was only slightly slower than ordinary soldiers, which was already a miracle for him.
"Master Yi, the spies have reported that Chu Xiangjun has been building ships on a large scale some time ago, and this time they may take the waterway..."Wang Xuan looked at Yi Xiaodao, and stopped talking.
In the big battle two years ago, Chu Xiang and the imperial court fought bloodstained the Yangtze River, but Yi Xiaodao's camp was delayed because of He Yue'er and Fu Qing's injuries. And it's just 25,000 soldiers and horses, which is really a drop in the bucket for the war situation.
But now it's different, Wang Xuan knew that when Chu Xiangjun rushed to the early battleship, he was so happy that he almost didn't jump. There are 10,000 people in the camp of the Nanhuai Army, you must know that the Nanhuai Water War is unique in the world, and the Nanhuai Army in the water war and the Nanhuai Army in the land war are two completely different soldiers and horses.
"Does Zhou Ziru know about this?" Yi Xiaodao asked rhetorically.
Wang Xuan frowned and said: "It's strange that it's strange here, Zhou Ziru's army of 300,000, logically speaking, the news we can detect, he shouldn't be unaware." But there was no movement at all on the side of the imperial court. ”
Yi Xiaodao was also a little surprised: "Is there any movement at all?" Not waterproof? ”
"And we have captured three spies from the Chu Xiang army, but our army has not encountered any spies from the imperial court. To the west of Qiancheng, there are no spies from the imperial court who have set foot here. Does he know we're hiding here? Wang Xuan said in an analysis.
Yi Xiaodao nodded slightly: "It is very likely, we also have 25,000 people in the end, it is easy to hide from Chu Xiang, and it is still impossible to hide from the imperial court." He didn't fight against water, maybe he left it to us on purpose. ”
"Then we..." Wang Xuan is good at making suggestions, but when it comes to the decision of a big event, he has no idea, and he doesn't know what to do.
"Wait, isn't there no fight yet? Don't worry. Yi Xiaodao stretched his waist and walked slowly in the direction of Fu Qing and He Yue'er's military tent.
Wang Xuan looked at Yi Xiaodao's back, frowned, and sighed: "Alas, the hero is sad to pass the beauty pass..."
……
On the side of the Yangtze River, the three figures walked along the riverbank one foot deep and one foot shallow, fortunately, all three of them were people who practiced martial arts. The road was muddy, and the three of them used their internal force to guess the silt and get up, so they didn't really make a mess.
"How long will it take? Do you know the road? The only woman among the three, Guan Chenzi asked.
"I would have known if I had taken the official road, but now I don't know where I am..."Fang Qianlong told the truth.
Tongwei muttered in a low voice, "I said I shouldn't have come..."
Guan Chenzi glanced at him, and the other party Qianlong said: "Then take the official road, when will it be a head if it goes on like this." ”
Fang Qianlong was a little hesitant, whether he left Beijing without permission, if he encountered the imperial court soldiers and horses, he might not be able to escape.
"We won't go to Wancheng. Take the official road, and by the way, ask how the situation is now. Otherwise, by the time we arrived, it is estimated that the battle would have been over. Guanchenzi wiped his face, in the hot summer, even if he was by the river, he didn't feel how cool, but it was even hotter, making people just want to jump into the river and take a shower.
The three of them went on the official road and met a family, Guan Chenzi went over alone and knocked on the door, chatted with the family, and gave out a talisman. The family is very grateful, if it weren't for the fact that the man is the only son in the family and the pillar of the family, I'm afraid they would not all be ready to leave home and lead the way in person.
Guan Chenzi walked over with a pair of long legs: "Ask clearly, there is Wancheng not far ahead." The two armies had previously fought at Wangcheng. But I heard that the city was ruined, and Wangcheng didn't even have a city gate... Now the imperial court soldiers and horses are stationed in Anhui City, and the Chuxiang soldiers and horses are stationed in Meicheng. ”
"A little common man, know so much?" Fang Qianlong was a little unconvinced.
"Some time ago, the imperial court sent people here to recruit troops, and these were also said by the township chief. This man was also dragged to Anhui City, and he was a strong man for a few days to repair the city gate, which should be credible. Guan Chenzi believes it very much.
Fang Qianlong thought for a while and said, "Okay, then let's go to Meicheng." ”
Guanchenzi and Tongweizi had no other opinions, just kept along. If Fang Qianlong really persuaded the beggars to get out of the dispute. That will save a lot of people, the merit is immeasurable, what does it matter where you go?
The two of them are like mirrors in their hearts.
