Although it took only one night for the pirates to land, they still knew the few places where they should know the news.

First of all, the Yangzhou Guards got the news, and then the inspection envoy Si Yamen and the Yangzhou Commander Envoy, even the Supervision Yuan knew about it, and they didn't even delay for a moment, and reported it directly.

The capital is still too close to Yangzhou, and it is really two hours to cross the river with a fast horse, which is very fast.

But no matter how fast these people are, they won't be able to arrive until noon the next day, and the real effect is sent by the Holy Guard.

The first thing that was presented to the Holy One was a secret letter with a small goose feather attached to it.

This goose feather letter was sent by Yangzhou Yinying, which is the most trusted guard of the saint.

All counties and prefectures in Daxia have Silver Eagle stationed, and generally every ten years, a document summarizing all the local things will be delivered to the Jianye headquarters, they are called the Eagle's Nest.

The Silver Eagle was all part of an army called the Silver Eagle Guard, which was a battalion of guards independent of the Praetorian Guard, with an official strength of 1,000 men.

The Silver Eagle Guard is different from other guards, the Silver Eagle specializes in intelligence, and one of the main symbols of the Silver Eagle is the white armor and white cloak.

The Silver Eagle Guard has one commander, two deputy commanders on the left and right, and each state has a state commander, with fifty or sixty Silver Eagles under its jurisdiction, and one Silver Eagle resident in each prefecture and city, and the official position is the general flag.

However, it is generally called the town guard, sometimes the general town, and the county seat decides whether it needs to be resident according to the need.

On the surface, there are only 1,000 Silver Eagles, but the Silver Eagles at the lowest level of Silver Eagle are all small banners, and at least fifty external informants can be allowed.

Often, only in important counties will there be a formal silver eagle, and many other small counties are stationed in peripheral personnel.

The first urgent document that the saint saw was sent by Taiyang Mansion, which means that Yangzhou is very close to Jianye, and it is precisely because of its proximity that the officials below do not dare to do anything to conceal and delay, and immediately send it to the capital.

In fact, Lin Sanmu, the commander of Yangzhou Silver Eagle Prefecture, received the first report of a bandit attack at midnight, and there was a real Silver Eagle Banner in Guangling, and he knew the importance of this matter.

Once the emperor first gets the information from other channels, he will not only be reprimanded by the commanders, but he may not even be able to save his life in the end.

Although the specific situation is not very clear, the landing of the bandits has been clarified, and the channels of Silver Eagle are different.

If there is an emergency, the silver eagle of the county will be reported to the government through special channels as soon as possible, and the silver eagle of some important counties will be sent to the government and the state at the same time.

After reading the secret letter, the saint suddenly dizzy, and his chest hurt for a while, the secret letter was very tactful, but it was inevitable that the people would suffer heavy casualties.

At the same time, there were many bandits landing in Yangzhou, and there were four or five county towns that were attacked, which had never been done before.

Yangzhou can't be chaotic, this is the foundation of Daxia, without the support of Yangzhou's money and grain, Daxia would have been unable to hold on.

The Thorn People have never stopped in the north, so have the Red Gold People in the Northeast, and now the Dwarves have also come to make trouble, and the seemingly powerful empire is in turmoil at any time.

Sheng Shang stood up, trembling all over.

"Shut up, look, look at you, what you look like, you, you still have a little ......"

Before he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly darkened, and he fell down softly.

The eunuchs around him and the ministers below panicked all of a sudden, and they didn't care about arguing anymore, and shouted to the front one by one.

Not to mention that there was a lot of noise in the court, now even General Chen Zhihe was a little at a loss, and he received the news just after dawn.

It's not one place, it's several. He didn't expect that things happened so suddenly, but fortunately, he made some arrangements in advance, and General Luo should go to Guangling to rescue, which is not a big problem.

Now he just doesn't know if the two battalions of Shuyang Xinkou have received the news, he knows that with only the two battalions of the garrison army, the Shuyang side will not be able to resist the sudden attack of thousands of pirates, and now he is worried that it is useless, and if it is not good, the pirates have all been robbed and withdrawn.

He also had a headache for Songjiang, now that all the information over there was cut off, and the three battalions that had been arranged in advance now don't know how. He can only take care of the approaching ones now, and he can't delay.

He was ready to take the remaining battalion straight to the mouth of the river, and quickly go downstream from the mouth of the river to block the way for the bandits to retreat, then he would have the first opportunity.

It's a pity that he didn't know that Zhou Gang had been taken down by Xu Dajia's sneak attack, otherwise, he might as well commit suicide directly at this time. Just as he was about to give the order, the guards came to report, and the patrol envoy and the state commander came.

Originally, Yang Kun and Dong Lu were in Yangzhou with two battalions of guards from General Chen Zhihe, and the two were the happiest, but now Yangzhou is full of wars and bandits.

Although Yangzhou is also a big city, with 2,000 garrisons, he knows whether these people can fight or not, and if there are bandits who come to Yangzhou, these people may not be able to hold it.

Now there is a second battalion of guards in Yangzhou, even if there are thousands of bandits, they will not be able to attack the city, and the state commander makes Dong Lu finally feel at ease.

The three of them sat down and only briefly analyzed the situation, and Chen Zhihe talked about his early arrangements and plans to take people to Jiangkou.

The two of them were also a little relieved when they heard the arrangements of the guards in the early stage, but they didn't agree with Chen Zhihe leading the troops south, the current situation was too chaotic, and there was only this battalion in their hands, which should be used at the most critical time.

General Chen Zhihe looked at the two of them, and could only patiently analyze the two of them, the current situation, knowing that there were at least five or six bandits who landed, although there were many of them, they were all scattered, and they were not gathered together at all, how could they dare to come to Yangzhou.

Yang Kun lowered his head and thought for a while, feeling that he was also panicked, indeed it seems that at present, the safety of Yangzhou does not need to be considered.

Even if there are one or two thousand bandits, with the Yangzhou militia and the state government, it will be difficult to conquer the fortified city of Yangzhou for a while and a half, and it will take half a day for the capital guards of Jianye to rush over.

However, the garrison still couldn't all be pulled away, and after a brief discussion, several people briefly discussed and agreed that Chen Zhihe would take a battalion of guards, and a battalion of garrisons would go south, leaving a battalion of guards to guard Yangzhou.

A battalion of garrison guards was led by Dong Lu to the direction of Shuyang, rescuing and annihilating scattered pirates.

Chen Zhihe has his own plans, after many years of military career, he still has real skills.

The two battalions at the mouth of the river should be able to rescue Guangling in time, and what they have to do now is not simply to drive the bandits away, if they can't deal a heavy blow to these bandits, they are afraid that the reproach in the court will make them unable to eat and walk around.

So as soon as he got out of Yangzhou, he divided his troops. He didn't care about the current situation in Guangling at all, and mixed the guards and the garrison.

The army went down the river, all the way straight to Tonghai Xiasha, this battalion marched in concealment, and did not make any stops along the way.

Another battalion, led by a guerrilla, landed near Tonghai and held the land passage with the militia groups in Tonghai.

General Chen thought very clearly, if he wanted to save the current situation, he had to leave these bandits behind.

All of a sudden, Tonghai became the key to this disaster.

All of a sudden, it seemed that the whole Yangzhou was in chaos, and I don't know where it started first, and the Taiyang Mansion and Shuyang Mansion along the river were full of shouts and killings.

In some villages, the villagers were slaughtered by the pirates, and the people who escaped were everywhere, and then many of the surrounding villagers were awakened, although they did not see the pirates, they were also panicked.

Some of the villages are large and are organizing young people to guard them, while others are fleeing directly into the wilderness.

Taiyang Qian Governor's Mansion is already like an ant on a hot pot, walking around the main hall, spinning in circles. Several officials in the government on the side were also standing sweating profusely, and two officials still had their hands shaking.

Just after yesterday, Qian Zhifu was woken up by the government office while still asleep, and several pirates were about to sneak into the city to open the door when they were discovered, although the pirates were killed, the city gate was also unharmed.

Qian Zhifu did not dare to hesitate, although there are hundreds of people in Taiyang at present, but compared with the bandits, the combat effectiveness is several levels worse, if the city is broken, the bandits will take their lives without waiting for the court to punish the crime.

Fortunately, the militia guerrillas in Taiyang had experienced the war, and not only gathered all the regiments and rushed to the south gate of Taiyang, but also asked the head of the government service team to gather all the officials and go to the west gate to prevent the bandits from coming in through the west gate, which is the two most critical gates in Taiyang.

Before the Qian Governor's Mansion settled down for a while, someone came to report that there was news from Guangling that it was now being attacked by bandits, and the current situation was unknown, so he asked the government to send reinforcements quickly.

Qian Zhifu is at a loss, once Guangling is lost, not to mention the court to punish crimes, the people of Guangling will be miserable, money and goods are secondary, the ferocity of the bandits he knows, killing people like hemp, if the county seat of tens of thousands of people is slaughtered, he will be responsible.

But at present, he did not dare to send out the hundreds of militia groups in the palace, and the pirates who were besieging the city did not know where they were, so they did not dare to act rashly at all.

All he can do now is to continue to strengthen the defense of the capital city, and at the same time quickly report to Yangzhou and ask for the rescue of Yangzhou Guards and Garrison Guards, as long as it is dawn, the advantage of these bandits will be gone.

Finally, after staying up until dawn, Qian Zhifu found a head catcher and asked him to quickly go to several surrounding counties to investigate.

Looking at the frightened look on the head catcher's face, he could only comfort him, it's daytime, ride a horse, and if you see something wrong, you can run back quickly.

The head catcher nodded and arranged for people to go to Guangling, Fu'an, Jiangkou and other counties to inquire about the situation.

As soon as the head was gone, the prefect of Qian hurriedly found his experience, immediately drafted the relevant documents, and quickly sent them to Yangzhou.
