Chapter 588 Military might

"Lord Wang, I've found out. ”

In a study, an ironclad sergeant in black armor pushed the door in and prostrated himself on the ground in front of a middle-aged man in a python-patterned brocade robe.

This study is at least four or five times the size of an ordinary person's study, with rosewood shelves on the left and right sides, all of which are full of various ancient books, and the wall behind the middle-aged man in front of the bookcase is full of all kinds of swords.

The middle-aged man's face was red, his eyebrows were extremely thick, and his face was very powerful.

Listening to the ironclad sergeant's words, he put down an ancient book in his hand, and his eyebrows suddenly raised: "Oh?"

"Shen Kun is indeed in Lin Yi's army. ”

The ironclad sergeant stood up, also with an iron-blooded momentum, "After the battle of Zhongli, he is still alive. ”

"What a bold Wei Guanxing, so bold Lin Yi, who dared to rob me. ”

The middle-aged man sneered, slapped the ancient book in his hand on the case in front of him, and with a bang, the case was full of energy, and more than ten booklets jumped up like living creatures.

"Lord Wang, what should I do then, do you want me to secretly gather people and try to intercept and kill them halfway?" the ironclad sergeant's face remained unchanged at all, and he just asked coldly.

"No need, now everyone knows that Lin Yi is going to the edge of Dangxiang Town, and if he wants to deal with him and Shen Kun, do you still need our people?" the middle-aged man smiled mockingly.

The ironclad sergeant's eyes flashed violently, but his face did not move at all, "What do you mean, Lord Wang?"

"You go to the party first, keep an eye on them, and as for the hands, hand them over to the party members. ”

The middle-aged man's eyes were slightly gloomy, and he said indifferently: "But tell the party people, Shen Kun in the Tiece Army, whether he lives or dies, everything on his body must be handed over to you." ”

"It's natural, we'll keep an eye on the party. The ironclad sergeant nodded.

"Now Lin Yi is already a general of the eleventh class, you Iron Shark Army go to the party, you can't bring anything that can make them recognize their identity, otherwise if you fall into his hands, there will be endless troubles. ”

The middle-aged man glanced at the ironclad sergeant, and coldly ordered these words, but he sneered again, "Lin Yi, you don't want to provoke them on the way to the march, but you should keep an eye on it, whether it is the Southern Dynasty or the Northern Wei Dynasty, or the party, I am afraid that there are many people who want to move him." Even if he was protected by the Sword Pavilion's sub-saint, it was still unknown whether he would be able to reach the party's border alive. ”

The ironclad sergeant bowed expressionlessly and saluted, "My subordinates understand. ”

......

......

"This Lin Yi is really so unscrupulous, even those individual criminals in the Yuanchang siege and grain robbery case dare to propose to be put in the Tiece Army as a sergeant? On the contrary, Ningzhou Assassin Shi kindly wanted to send some elite soldiers to him, but he didn't want it, Xu Zijian in these Yuanchang siege and grain robbery cases, but they were all reported to the emperor, and they were heard by heaven, these people will be beheaded after the autumn, although he has the right to propose to give him the army, but this kind of means, he is not afraid that the emperor will think that he is specifically looking for some people who are dissatisfied with the emperor?"

An official in a silk coat gritted his teeth with a black face.

The official's hair was a little yellow, with a horse's face, and he looked thin, but the flesh and blood under his shirt were bulging high, exuding a powerful momentum.

He looked to be in his thirties, but he was in his forties and fifteens.

He is the county guard of Xiping County, although it is under the jurisdiction of Ningzhou Thorn History, but Xiping County is the largest troop gathering place in Ningzhou, his military power is extremely heavy, the most important thing is that he is Xiao Jin's subordinate back then, and naturally belongs to the Xiao family.

What made him angry today was not that Lin Yi didn't even inform him, and he took away more than 70 people from his Xu Zijian in Xiping County, many of whom in his opinion were criminals who must be severely punished by the imperial court, and the most critical reason was that he knew that Tie Cejun had brought people away from Xu Zijian, and he asked people to report to Tie Cejun and wanted to visit Lin Yi, but Lin Yi refused, saying that it was inconvenient to stop and see local officials on the way.

It's just that according to what he knows, Lin Yi's Tiece army is not marching fast, and today he is camped in Huergang outside Xiping County, and since he has set up camp, if Lin Yi intends to meet, then he, as a local lower-level official, can go to meet at any time according to Lin Yi's wishes.

In Hong Xuan's view, since he has taken the initiative to visit Lin Yi, it is equivalent to the Xiao family taking the initiative to show favor to Lin Yi, even if the Xiao family and Lin Yi had some festivals before, but everyone in the officialdom gives each other some face, so that they will not tear their faces, and they will give each other some benefits in the future, and gradually the relationship will be eased.

"My lord, you must not be angry, the more unscrupulous this Lin Yi is, the more arrogant he becomes, the more he must not act rashly. He was so angry that his face was black, but a master beside him was nervous, his face was a little pale, and he admonished again and again: "Since he wants to use troops against the party, at least for a year and a half, no one can touch him, and the military also has many senior personnel to maintain it, you had better just do nothing, otherwise even if you just participate in a book, saying that he is wrong, I am afraid that it will cause a big disaster." ”

"I naturally know this, I want to go to the book, and I won't be stupid enough to go to Jiankang, I want the emperor to punish him, I just need to inform Lord Xiao Jin of his attitude today, to deal with him, it is also the Xiao family to deal with him, how many official ranks are there between me and Lin Yi, where is it possible that the local county guard wants to deal with a big man." ”

Hong Xuan glanced at this master and sneered.

Listening to his sneer, this master suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

......

Fox ear gang, is a slope hill outside the city of Xiping County, it is backed by the white fox mountain, one head is like a fox ear tip into the front of the Wenxiang River, so it gets its name.

This slope is all stony, only some weeds can grow between the cracks of the stones, and it cannot be cultivated at all, but the back of the mountains and water, the terrain is open, and the ground is all solid stones, but it is a good place to camp naturally.

Generally, caravans or armies who do not want to stay in the city will camp here for the night.

Many holes have been carved out of this hard stone ground, and it is even more effortless to set up camp.

The end of this fox ear gang into the water is also a complete boulder, the big stone looks like a fox ear tip from a distance, but it is also six or seven feet away from the water surface, and the open river water closes here, and the water flow is very turbulent.

Moreover, there are many rocks in this section near Huergang, so if there are passing merchant ships, they do not lean to this side of the boat, but to walk slowly on the other side of the water.

At this time, it was the end of summer in the Ningzhou area, and the closer it was to the evening, the hotter it was, but on this fox ear post, the water vapor continued to beat up, and the sergeant of the Tiece Army washed the stone ground with water, and it was poured thoroughly, and the cold air in the stone crevices continued to steam, but he did not feel the heat at all.

Suddenly, there was a cheer and shouting at the water's edge, and I saw that in the original turbulent water, it was like a dragon suddenly going out to sea, boom, the water exploded, and a figure rushed up with a wave of water, and each hand was carrying a big fish that looked like it was more than 20 catties.

As soon as this person landed on the stone, the white vapor rolled all over his body, and the whole body was like a piece of hot iron steaming with water vapor, which was Lin Yi.

Lin Yi threw the two big river fish to the two Tiece Army sergeants, and without changing his clothes, he let the water vapor on his body slowly dry.

Qi Zhuji, who had just returned from Xu Zijian, came to him and said softly: "I have inquired clearly, Huang Wannian went to Xinyi yesterday and has returned to Xiping County after finishing his work, and it should be more than an hour to get here." As for the Weng family, they were originally in the Huang family. ”

"Good. ”

Lin Yi nodded, and didn't say much, as usual, he sat down next to some Tiece Army sergeants casually and began to eat, but today, except for Xu Zijian, who had just brought back prisoners, they didn't know, but the rest of the Tiece Army knew that Lin Yi was going to do a big thing.

Even though Lin Yi looked like usual at this time, all of them looked at Lin Yi and could see some biting chills in his calm eyes from time to time.

Tie Cejun left from Zhongli City, all the way through Menglong City, and then to Qixi County, Huangshui County, and then here, stop and go, it has been a month and a half, from Tongshan Prison, Shutou Prison, plus from Xu Zijian today, the original 627 Tie Ce Army, now 942 people.

With the existence of cultivators like the original Taoists, the Tie Ce Army, an army that is becoming more and more like a "miscellaneous army", has never set up a secret sentry when camping, and the most puzzling thing for all the people who have secretly observed this Tie Ce Army along the way is that after Lin Yi accepted so many people into the army from these heavy prisons, it was clear that Wei Guanxing was already a good hand at training soldiers when he was in the border army, but along the way, it seemed that he was just eating and drinking to serve these felons, not to mention that he didn't even let these people touch any ordnance, and he didn't even teach basic fists and feet.

Today is no exception.

The reason why Hongxuan, the county guard of Xiping County, was so angry was because this Tiece army had actually arrived at this fox ear post at noon, and from the county guard in the city of Xiping County to here, if it was a fast horse, it would not take an hour at all, but Lin Yi just said that there was no time to see.

And from the time the noon camp was set up here, there was no training in this iron army.

On the White Fox Mountain, a cultivator in tight-fitting black clothes was quietly watching this iron army in the dense forest.

His hair was wrapped in a black scarf and tied tightly, while on his face was a wooden mask with a green base and colorful colors.

He stood quietly on the high ground of the forest, but there was no fluctuation of vitality on his body, in the past ten days, he had a time when he was closer to this iron army than now, but even the original Dao people did not perceive his existence.

He had been with the Tie Ce Army for more than ten days, and naturally knew better than anyone that this Tie Ce Army had no training at all, and even had no basic defense for the march, but this was not the focus of his concern.

......

The anchovy is plump, especially if it is freshly caught and cooked immediately.

Lin Yi caught two big fish by himself, and some of the self-made wicker cages of some Tiece Army soldiers collected a lot of river fish, but after these fish were cooked, they were all distributed to the prisoners who had just been brought out from Xu Zijian in Xiping County today.

A small half of these prisoners came from a village called Gumula, which had been growing tea trees for a living since ancient times, and the tea was transported by caravans every year, and they only profited enough to eat and drink.

The year before last, there was a heavy flood in Xiping County, and then there was a locust plague, and their village did not grow much rice, and it was not affected much, but many people died of starvation in many villages not far from them.

There is a pasture in the southern suburbs of Xiping County called Yuanchangwei, which is used by the royal family, and the cattle and sheep raised and the fragrant rice produced in the fertile fields are all used as tributes to the imperial palace.

Although the villagers of Gumula did not starve to death, after seeing the miserable situation in the surrounding villages, they distributed all their rice and grain, and when they heard that the granaries in the circle were rich in grain, and even had a large surplus in addition to the rice used for tribute, they took the lead in trying to ask for it.

However, the officials guarding the Yuanchangwei were not accommodating at all, and even directly used the defenders to attack these people, and in anger, these villagers directly attacked the Yuanchangwei and swept away the food inside.

Later, many villages did not starve to death, but taking the lead in storming the royal pasture and granary was naturally a very serious felony, and almost half of the men in the entire Gumula Village were arrested, except for a few people who were later released, half of them were punished with hard labor, and half of them were detained in Xu Zijian in Xiping County, and they were all beheaded.

Because there are already people from Tongshan Prison and Shutou Prison, Qi Zhuji and Lin Yi don't need to say much now, and these prisoners raised from Xu Zijian have no doubts.

"It's coming!"

The aroma of grilled fish was still permeating, but several sergeants on the outskirts of the camp shouted in unison.

Lin Yi stood up slowly, these people who came out of Xu Zijian hadn't reacted yet, there were several neighing horses in the camp, and a few golden shadows had already rushed out.

The four golden crows marched in unison, and even the horses were almost completely in a straight line, but the speed was amazingly fast.

Not to mention this kind of picture, not to mention these people who had just left Xu Zijian, even the people from Tongshan Prison and Shutou Prison had never seen it before, and their eyes were wide in shock for a while, and even their breathing stopped completely.

Although it was only four horsemen, the solemn momentum of these four horsemen when they rushed out silently could not be described in words.

When the four horsemen had just rushed onto the official road, a convoy of six carriages had just turned out of a bend in the official road.

The coachmen on the six carriages couldn't help but shout in shock the moment they saw the four horsemen, and they all involuntarily tightened the reins in their hands and stopped the carriages.

The four golden crow riders continued to drive side by side like lightning, and did not stop at the same time until the six carriages were twenty feet in front of them.

From galloping to sudden stopping, only the front hooves of the four war horses were slightly raised, but the four riders seemed to be like iron casting, and they didn't seem to shake.

The people in these six carriages didn't know what was going on, and they had already lifted the curtains and curtains of the car to look out.

The face of one of the coachmen at the head was extremely solemn, but he took a deep breath, but his eyes narrowed, quickly regained his composure, and shouted, "We are waiting for the convoy of Mrs. Huang's family in Ningzhou, who are you?"

"The Tiece Army under the command of Lin Yi, the general of Shenwei Town, is stationed here, and we suspect that there are suspicious thieves in your convoy, so they all get off the car and accept inspection!"

"What do you mean!"

The coachman was stunned for a moment, and suddenly became furious, "It's all from our Huang family, how can there be any suspicious thieves?"

Listening to his angry shouts, the golden crow rider was still expressionless, and just sneered: "In that case, you are resisting?"

His voice sounded, and he didn't hear the coachman's reply again, and with a bang, four pale golden spears were raised at the same time, each with a hazy golden light in the night.

The coachman's face turned pale when he had just shouted angrily, and he opened his mouth, but he didn't dare to say a word.

"I am Huang Wannian, and my father is a servant of the court..."

There was a loud bang, and a man who looked no more than twenty-seven or eighteen jumped out of the third carriage and lifted the curtain of the door, he looked at these golden crow riders, and stopped talking, his voice was loud at first, but now it is low: "And my Ningzhou Huang family and Tiece Army also have old, when General Lin Yi was just in Tiece Army, we also sent a lot of grain and grass over, so there must be some misunderstanding today." ”

"If there is no misunderstanding, let's talk about it later. ”

The golden crow rider didn't raise his eyebrows, but the spear in his hand was slightly raised, which brought a few points of murderous aura, "Everyone get off the carriage and go over." ”
