For Yang Xing, it was the best day and the day that surprised him.

Tanma Benhui reported the capture of Jinxian and Geyang by Yintuo and the surrender of Guixi, but also reported the loss of Anren and the disappearance of two teams by the Baima River, and the capture of Anren was said to be the Yugan regiment Lian Li Dan.

"Is that him? Oops!" Yang Xing blurted out this, because he was not sure whether it was the old Taoist priest who caused Li Dan's counterattack, or whether An Ren was lost before the Taoist priest, anyway, what was certain was that the Taoist priest's assassination operation should have failed, and Yun Hezi was more than lucky!

It's not that he regrets the old way, but Yu Gan's dispatch of troops not only shows that the lake bandit of Tatehanako failed to succeed, but also disrupts his own deployment, so that a knife appeared in Dongxiang's back. It's worth it!

He really wanted to immediately raise troops to the east to take Anren back, but he counted on his fingers, 2,000 people under his command were taken to Jinxian by a stick of incense, 1,000 people were stationed in Yujiang, and there were only 5,000 troops at hand, so Dad's rear couldn't be left unguarded, right?

How much can you take away, three thousand, four thousand. Anren is still separated by the Jinjiang River, and it is almost impossible for people to cross the river with this point.

The last time I rushed into Anren after fighting Huangxi, it was purely an accident, because the pontoon bridge of the passage for the official army to cross the river was seized by himself, and he took the lead! This time it was different, the people had already defended the city, and the ships built in Shigang had been lost here, so it could be said that there was no chance of winning at all.

Yang Xing was very annoyed and kept walking around the house. But in any case, the matter of Yintuo is good news. Maybe...... Can you borrow his strength?

Thinking of this, Yang Xing immediately sent a liaison envoy to the direction of Guixi, even if Yintuo only sent a team of 1,000 people to contain it from the south, the pressure on his side would be much less!

But what he didn't know was that in the two days he hesitated, one order after another had been issued, and everyone under the command of the green shirt team took action and began to prepare for the battle.

At the initiative of Zhou Xin, Anren's investment committee also called on 28 restaurants and restaurants to give priority to the production of dry food needed by the team to supply the front;

4,000 people gathered from various villages and towns to Anren, and a large number of carriages and livestock were numbered and registered by Confucian students, and a steady stream of people gathered to Tazhou.

Most of these students have returned to school, and with the encouragement of Mr. Zhou Xianzun and Mr. Huaizhou, a famous Confucian cadre, they volunteered to assist, and were managed by a staff officer and a magistrate sent by the General Staff.

Some of the students register the people, goods, money, and food they donate, and the other part is responsible for distributing the materials to the various positions where they need them.

Zhou Qin hurriedly ran to see Li Dan, who was about to take a steamer to take the fleet north, and after meeting with the big white geese, he went to Qinglan Lake in the west of the lake.

After the infantry landed at Luoxi, the water battalion continued to follow the Fuhe River upstream, allowing the teaching team and the marines to land and occupy Jinshan Temple, cutting off the enemy's way to flee south and return.

"I said that all the inspections, this wooden boiling water and pulley hoist is easy to use, but it is still not as wear-resistant as metal, basically you have to replace one after a day, and the sailors have to repair the ship after marching, which is too laborious.

In any case, you have to urge Yu Jiazhai to hurry up and make more metal, this war is used ruthlessly and the demand is large, so it is better to replace it with the durability of metal. In short, whether it is wood or metal, it is necessary to prepare a lot, and this matter must be given priority!

If you can't move halfway through the boat, it's a target on the water, but you're going to die!" He said to Li Dan very seriously. The wood boiling water in Zhou Qin's mouth is the bearing, because the metal bearing is too slow, so the hardwood bearing is used instead of the production.

But that thing is usually used for boating, and it is not enough to see when fighting, so Zhou Qin came in a hurry, especially for this small bearing.

"The new factory hasn't started yet, and now there is a shortage of metal materials." Li Dan also regretted it, but the current production capacity and raw materials are there.

"I'll do my best to fix it for you." He replied with a wry smile, knowing in his heart that in fact the new batch of bearings had been transferred to strengthen the wheels of catapults and heavy horse wagons.

Fortunately, the water camp is a boat in the water, with oars and mast sails, and the vehicles of the land camp are facing, which is the potholes and extremely diverse roads of this era! I can't complain about Li Dan's partiality.

"This time you will fight back to Fuzhou, Lao Zhou, you will have to work hard!" Li Dan brought the topic to this, and he also wanted to remind Zhou Qin now

It's time to play on his home turf.

Speaking of this, Zhou Qin grinned: "Don't worry, I have already sent someone back to contact the brothers, and I will ensure that when the army enters Fuzhou, there will be people everywhere!"

"I know that Xianfu (Zhao Jingzi) and you have discussed it for a long time, so you should have discussed it more thoroughly. But we still have to think more about the difficulties and accidents." Speaking of this, Li Dan suddenly smiled and asked, "I heard that my sister-in-law is also with the army this time?"

Zhou Qin smiled hesitantly: "I said that I wouldn't call her, I had to say that I wanted to be Liang Hongyu."

It's okay, I specially arranged for someone to take care of her, and besides, she is strong, and the injuries she suffered in front are all healed, so she will not be in the way. Go and go, go back and kowtow to your father's grave by the way, and this entry is done!"

"Okay, since you have arranged it, I have no opinion, but she has just been pregnant, and the fetus is not stable at this time, you can ask her to press the formation in the back, don't ask her to rush forward, this fetus has fetal gas, and the woman will fall into trouble!" Li Dan said and nodded very seriously.

Zhou Qin grinned and scratched the back of her head: "You still understand this?"

"If you don't believe me, find the best local pharmacy in Anren's 'Shantong Pharmacy and ask, I didn't bluff you!" After Li Dan finished speaking, he beckoned Mao Zai to find out the map of Fuzhou and asked Zhou Qin:

"While you're here, I'll ask something. Where do you think Yang He's gang will flee if he is defeated? Xianfu and their staff unanimously agreed that they must retreat along Rushui towards Jinxi, so they planned to let the marines set up an ambush at the foot of Linggu Mountain.

But I always have a question, I don't think he necessarily has to run to Jinxi, right?" He said, pointing with his finger:

"The premise of saying that they went to Jinxi is that at that time, Yang He's father and son had already learned that Geyang had Yintuo, a group of bandits, and thought that they might contact Yintuo to answer them. But how do I feel a bit far-fetched about this premise?

You're a native of Fuzhou, what do you think?"

Zhou Qin didn't answer directly, but turned around and asked Brother Mao to find Song Xiaoqiao and Tao Shou. Li Dan knew that he was going to give the two of them a chance to learn and think, so he smiled and didn't speak.

When the two of them ran in from the courtyard and saluted, Zhou Qin asked them to come close to the map, and then talked about the topic just now, but did not mention the general staff. Then he asked the two:

"How? If you choose, Fuzhou can't be defeated, and Dongxiang and Yujiang will be lost again. There are thousands of opponents coming to Jinshan Temple in the north, how do you choose, do you want to run to Jinxi? What is the reason?"

The two looked at each other, and Song Xiaoqiao arched his hand towards Tao Shou, meaning that you are older, please say it first. Tao Shou tilted his head and twisted his eyebrows to think for a while, and said:

"I think they should have retreated to Jinxi, didn't they say they came from Luxi? It is only right to take the original road of Jinxi to return, and then go north through Longhu Mountain and meet with the Yintuo in Geyang. You said yes?"

"Not necessarily." Song Xiaoqiao followed Li Dan's example and crossed his arms, looked left and right, and then said, "Why can't he go to Jianchang Mansion with a false shot? Or simply turn around and go to Luling to get rid of the officers and soldiers?"

Li Dan and Zhou Qin glanced at each other, and Zhou Qin said dissatisfiedly, "Don't guess, tell me the reason!" Tao Gongfu (Tao Shouzi) said the reason just now, it is reasonable, what is the reason for your kid? Take it out and set it up for me to hear!"

"The master is above, and the apprentice is ugly." Song Xiaoqiao arched his hand, and then said, "Go to Jianchang Mansion, you can make a surprise attack, although you need to go over the mountains and mountains, but when we wake up and rush over, he may have fled to Guangchang."

If you look at the terrain of Jianchang Mansion, there are 1,000 people in Nancheng or Zengtan, and I think it will be no problem to block five or six thousand troops for a few days!

The only thing to worry about is that if the officers and troops on Shao Wu and Jianning's side suddenly turn over from Yiguan or Baizhangling, it may reverse the situation.

However, this possibility is too small, after all, the cross-provincial action of the official army is still reluctant, and the cross-provincial pursuit is too rare!"

"But it's not for nothing," Li Dan said, "As long as it is a joint order from the Ministry of War and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, Shao Wu can send troops. You go on."

"If you consider the possibility that Shao Wu will send troops, then I think it is more likely that they will go to Ji'an Mansion!" Song Xiaoqiao patted the table:

"Luling to the south of the mountain, the forest is dense enough to deal with the official army, and there is a Miao village to facilitate incitement and bewitchment, no matter which direction they come around, as long as there is no way to surround them in time, they will easily escape."

"It's a lot of fun. In this way, Ji'an Mansion should have been full of thieves a long time ago, right?" Li Dan smiled and said, "But it seems that this is not the case."

"I think it may be because there are many mountains, few fields, and sparsely populated people, which is inconvenient for raising soldiers." Song Xiaoqiao replied: "I have Ji'an people under my command, and I heard him say that there are some places over there that you can't necessarily meet people after walking a hundred miles."

"Then do you think Yang He will choose Ji'an Mansion?" Tao Shou asked.

Song Xiaoqiao thought seriously for a while, and said to himself with contradictions: "Yes, he has 30,000 or 40,000 horses, even if he is beaten by 30,000, there are still more than 20,000, so these people go to Ji'an Mansion, are they waiting to starve to death and die of sleep?"

"What if...... They are not going to Ji'an, nor are they going to Jianchang Mansion, there is only one direction left." Tao Shou looked at everyone suspiciously: "But there are many roads and mountains to be walked in this direction!"

"This Yang He shouldn't be afraid, didn't he go from Fujian to Fuzhou?" As soon as Song Xiaoqiao said this, he understood what Tao Shou meant: "What Brother Tao means, is it possible for them to go to Yuanzhou?"

"Exactly! I don't think Yang He necessarily knows much about Ji'an Mansion, but once he finds out that it is a dead place, I'm afraid he will have to think about it differently! Everyone, please see, to the south are the two fortified cities of Yanduwei and Ganzhou and Ningdu.

Unless they cross the mountains and mountains without losing their soldiers, it will be difficult to take these cities, and it is relatively easy to organize and transfer troops by rivers in Ganzhou, which is a hard nut to bite!.

Nan'an next to Ganzhou, the terrain is similar to Ji'an Mansion, there is no need to go over the mountains and mountains, and the king of Nan'an County is quite popular, he is one of the three wise kings of this dynasty, and they may not be able to fall well.

If you continue to the west, the Miao people on the side of Chaling are fierce, and it is also a vast and sparsely populated area, and you can't quench your thirst.

Only as far north as Xinyu and Qingjiang in Linjiang Province, or in the Fenyi and Yichun areas of Yuanzhou Prefecture, can there be more populous people and relatively wealthy merchants and squires, and it is more worth the risk for them!"

Li Dan looked at Zhou Qin, and both of them smiled. Tao Shou was really a few years older, and soon thought of the weakness of the Jiangshan Army, they needed to rob wealthy families to maintain morale!

"Okay, I see, thank you for your advice!" Li Dan sent them away and turned back, and Zhou Qin was squinting at him, "Do you think they will really enter Yuanzhou Mansion?"

"I think it's very likely!" Li Dan nodded: "It seems that someone has to go to find Brother Youzhi (Xiao Wanhe), he doesn't know where he is now, how is the team?" Can you help us in Ji'an Mansion?"

Zhou Qin pursed her lips: "People don't like to mess with us, so they can't climb this high branch, right?"

Li Dan smiled: "Old Zhou, this sour thing is not like yours. Lao Xiao is worried about his family, so it is understandable to take someone back to defend his hometown. After all, we are all colleagues of the Chashan Society, so why do you say yes or no?"

"But look at Lao Tan, the Yang family occupies Luxi, can he not be in a hurry? Aren't you fighting with the brethren day by day, day by day? Did he ever propose to take someone back to Jianchang Mansion? That's the difference!"

Li Dan shook his head and smiled bitterly, knowing that on this issue, including a group of old people such as Sun She, they were all privately dissatisfied with Xiao Wanhe's separation from the brigade.

Li Dan didn't want to get involved in this issue too much, and hoped to maintain the stability of the overall situation, and in the case of strong enemies, it was always necessary to maintain unity internally.

At this moment, there was a noise in the front yard, and then someone ran out of the Sanqing Hall and ran to the bottom of the corridor and said loudly: "Your Excellency, Inspector Zhao has led the angel to the front yard, please go and receive the order!"

"What? Order?" Li Dan was stunned, he was a nine-grade sesame petty official, and the emperor gave him an order? It doesn't sound like it's real!

He looked at Zhou Qin, and Zhou Qin was staring at him. After two breaths, Zhou Qin took a breath and said, "My lord, let's go and see what the situation is, what if it's true?"

"Really, you can't be wrong!" Zhao Jingzi's voice shouted outside the window, "At least the governor."

It's true that the Inspector is here, and you can't make him wait too long?"

Thinking about it, Li Dan hurriedly came out, behind Zhao Jingzi, Zhou Qin, Lu Jiu and others, as well as a large group of staff headquarters personnel who ran out to see the lively staff, a group of people came to the open space in front of the Lingguan Hall through the side door, and saw that it was Zhao Chongbi standing in the courtyard.

Li Dan stepped forward to salute, Zhao Jingzi grabbed Mao Zai and Lu Jiu, asked them to stop the others from twenty steps away, and called Zhong Siqi to ask him to quickly find a few sticks of incense.

At this time, I heard Zhao Chongbi smile and let Li Dan be polite and flattened, and then pointed to a tanned brocade robe and gauze hat boy next to him and the brown-robed and leather-belt official beside him and said:

"These two are Liu Xi, Liu Nei, a walking attendant in the study in the palace, and Zhang Ping, a member of the Yellow Gate, who came to Anren by order."

As soon as Li Dan said "oh", the yellow door smiled and took off the brocade burden on his shoulders, put it on Liu Xi's hand to hold it, and said as he opened it:

"I thought that the road to war here was not easy, who would have thought that the patrol divisions, militia teams, and regimental training water battalions would cooperate tacitly, which is really an eye-opener!"

Li Dan was about to be modest, but his face suddenly became serious, and he said, "Is this the one in front of you who is the eldest son of Duke Li Wencheng?"

"It's a lowly position."

"The holy decree has arrived, and Li Dan has accepted it!"

Li Dan looked back, and saw that Zhong Siqi didn't know where to find four or five broken incense sticks, which were unevenly inserted in the iron incense burner in front of the hall, and the green smoke was waving up.

"Your Excellency, please wait." Li Dan remembered reading it in his previous life, saying that he must be dressed properly and clean his hands to receive the order, and then kneel three times and bow nine times.

Zhang Ping was stunned, he hadn't seen the proclamator waiting yet. I saw Li Dan running to Zhong Siqi and muttering something to him, and the latter suddenly flew back and ran back.

Li Dan came to the incense burner, stretched out his hand and smoked the palm and back of his hand with a cigarette, and then staggered back.

Zhong Siqi ran back after him, holding a roll of reed mats found out of nowhere in his hand and hurriedly spread it on the ground, Li Dan stood still at the edge of the banquet and said loudly: "Minister Li Dan, welcome the holy decree, long live my emperor, long live!"

After speaking, he completed the big gift of three kneels and nine bows on that mat, and he was still muttering in his heart whether to send this mat home and give it to his aunt for collection?

At this moment, he caught a glimpse of the satisfied smiles on the faces of the chamberlain and the proclamator, and he breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had done the right thing.

Zhang Ping saw him salute and replied loudly, "Holy bow!" Then unfold the golden scroll: "I, inherit the heavens and follow the order, and be ...... by the order of Ziming."

"Hey, why isn't it 'carried by heaven, the emperor said?' Li Dan thought about it, listening to Zhang Ping continue to read this "good article" that I don't know who came from, and the literary talent is flying and is incomprehensible to ordinary people.

Even those like him, who thought he was a "cultural youth", had to be guessed, only to suddenly find out that there were actually three main things to say:

I agree to grant you the title of Captain of the Warriors;

I asked Zhao Chongbi to be the governor of Jiangxi and southern Jiangxi and the commander of military affairs, and you went to him to be the ambassador of the regimental training and the experience of preaching comfort;

Save the life of the king of Fengning County, or send someone to take him to Beijing for a visit!

What? Li Dan thought that he had heard it wrong, the king of Fengning County, isn't it the king of Fu, not the king of Gan, the king of Ning or the king of Nan'an, but the king of Fengning who is far away in Shangrao?

What does the emperor mean by this, he probably doesn't know that Geyang, Hengfeng and even Lead Mountain may have fallen into the hands of Yintuo, and Shangrao is already an isolated island, crumbling? Li Dan was stunned for a moment.

What should I do, whether to receive this decree or not? The Zhang Sheren and the attendant surnamed Liu were both standing in front of him. Oh, there's also Lord Zhao! Received, how can this task be completed?

No, this courtyard full of people knelt on the ground and looked at it......! Li Dan didn't know what to do, so he just lay on the ground motionless and didn't say a word.

Only he knew that sweat was soaking his shirt down his spine, and that it didn't taste good against his body. I didn't expect to receive the holy decree to be like this, or how to say "accompany the king like a tiger"!
