Chapter 300 Advance into the south of Shu
The closer they approached the hinterland of Shuzhong, the more they guessed that the development of things had greatly surprised them.
In fact, the Shuzhong and even Guangnan area, which originally seemed to be calm, had already understood the swordsman. I don't know why, they didn't hear anyone in the capital talk about these bloody facts at all.
In fact, Feng Ziqi knew that she didn't know these situations, and Yunshang couldn't be sure.
However, from the time of leaving, Feng Ziqi looked at her worried eyes and wanted to say something back. Yunshang boldly inferred that Feng Ziqi had already known the situation here. He was worried about his safety, so he looked at himself with such eyes, and cruelly sent Kong Jie and Yulin's praetorian guards. Follow them in person to protect her safety!
As early as when they started from the capital, Binzhou, Guangnan and other places had been full of war for a long time. It was not a fight with foreign enemies, but a fight between the local official service and the barefoot soldiers of the Huolian Sect.
And what is even more unexpected is that it is the local regular army that can't beat the "barefoot army" composed of grass people? Anyway, this is too elusive!
"Look, Yunshang little beauty," Lian Zhun pushed the drawing in front of Yunshang, took a box of rouge, dipped it with his fingers, and circled the drawing: "Here, Pennsylvania, Gaozhou, Lipu, Yangshuo and Xing'an on Chuanshu West Road; Lianzhou and Shaozhou on Chuanshu East Road; Quanzhou and Daozhou on Chuanshu South Road are all my original. As I told you, the Huolian Church has occupied an area in the past few months..."
He suddenly found that Yunshang was a little distracted. He stopped and asked, "Yunshang little beauty, what are you thinking?"
"I'm thinking... such a good map is so stained by you... If it is sold to the enemy country, is it worth thousands of gold and ten thousand households?"
Lian Zhun laughed and patted Yunshang's face, "If you like it, I'll draw another one for you tomorrow, and you can sell it to anyone!"
"Hmm." Yunshang nodded obediently, "You must remember to draw for me. Be careful when you draw, and don't dye these rouge gouache; like you, it seems to have scabies on it!"
"Yunshang little beauty!" Lian Zhun shook his head with a wry smile and continued to point out on those scabies. "The land occupied by these Huolian religion has formed a force on Sichuan and Shunan Road, especially Yongzhou and Guiyang, which bear the brunt of the brunt, forming a situation of confronting the enemy head-on with the enemy. Now, the governor of Hunan and the garrison of each state are all gathered in Yongzhou. Prepare to face the enemy and suppress the rebel momentum near the junction of Chuanshu South Road and Chuanshu South Road. Jiangnan West Road, because it is close to the front line, has also transferred the defenders to the south one after another, ready to take over the Hunan army and suppress the rebels.
Yunshang blinked her eyes and asked doubtfully, "You told me this last time. It is precisely because of the urgency of the situation that Your Majesty sent Major General Lu to the west. However, at present, the court and the rebels in Yongzhou have become a stalemate, which is far from something that can be solved for a while, right?
"Hmm." Lian Zhun dipped in some rouge, and suddenly, in addition to the scabies, in the northeast, it was heavier. Do you know this place?"
"Ah!" Yunshang couldn't help exclaiming, "Isn't this Pingxing Mansion? When did it happen?"
Their party is now heading for Pingxing Prefecture. It is estimated that if it is a little faster, they can enter the city before sunset, and Lu Shen's guard, 500 infantry, are still advancing towards Pingxing Starry Night.
"It's not Pingxing Mansion." Lian Zhun shook his head, "It's Fengcheng County in the southwest of Pingxing, and there is no news to confirm that it belongs to the Huolian religion. However, according to the report of the Dark Camp, the Fire Lotus Master suddenly appeared in Fengcheng last night. He unconsciously transported nearly a thousand soldiers and horses. With a wave of arms, the responders gathered. Not only the water bandits in Poyang Lake fought each other overnight, but also the garrison in Fengcheng also rebelled! It is estimated that now, Fengcheng County has been taken with no effort!"
"Just took Fengcheng? It's okay. Yunshang unconsciously turned the tea cup in his hand, "But aren't they going to expand from Yongzhou? Start to focus on Jiangnan West Road?"
"Maybe it's because the imperial court suppressed the army in Hunan? Unexpectedly, they still have the ability to find another way here. In addition, the dark camp has been suppressed recently, and their activity ability is not as good as before, and no one has found out their movements in advance! Don't say, this Lord of Fire Lotus really has two brushes!" Lian Zhun showed a leisurely state of longing.
"But what if they take Fengcheng? In the capital of Pingxing Jiangxi, there must be a lot of troops stationed. Knowing that Fengcheng's rebellion, won't they send troops to fight?
"Is there an army to fight? I think that if I were the Lord of Huolian, I would take advantage of the situation to attack Pingxing Mansion! However, they chose such a place to launch, which should be aimed at Pingxing Prefecture.
"So, in your opinion, how about the outcome of this game?" At this time, Yunshang found that the situation was serious and began to be careful.
"In my opinion, where is the winner?" Lian Zhun smiled softly, "It's just a slaughter on one side... The barefoot army completely ate the Zhennan army in Pingxing Prefecture."
Yun Zhang was stunned.
"You should discuss it with Major General Lu..." Yun Shang frowned and suddenly stood up. "Since you value Huolianism so much, why did you delay so long to tell me?"
"What are you going to discuss with Major General Lu? There is still a half-day flight to Pingxingfu. I have to wait for you to inform Pingxingfu. I'm afraid the yellow cauliflower will be cold!" Lian Zhun still smiled, but the smile was a little more sarcastic. "Moreover, after the fall of Fengcheng, I'm afraid that the Huolian religion will also need some time to recover the rebels. Now, what we need to consider more is that you and Major General Lu can't pass Pingxing Mansion?"
Yunshang was about to walk out. Yes, can't he pass Pingxing Mansion? They are the messengers of Chuanshu South Road, not from Jiangnan West Road. If they pass along the river at this time and don't stay in Pingxing Prefecture, no one will say anything. What's more, there is an accident in Fengcheng. According to reason, it is impossible for them to know now. At this time, no one will suspect that they are hiding from the rebels... As for the 500 relatives. Wei, you just need to send someone to inform, that's all.
However, from her understanding of Lu Shen all the way, if she brings the matter out to discuss with him, then Lu Shen will certainly not agree to do so... That is to say, if she wants to avoid Pingxing Mansion, she must deceive Lu Shen; but even if she finds a reason to deceive Lu Shen and avoid Pingxing Mansion, the news of the loss of Fengcheng will come in the future. He will probably doubt her...
At this time, the boat suddenly passed through a shoal and began to bump up and down. The tea placed on the small table by Yunshang also swayed, but the cup of water did not move.
"Lian Zhun," she suddenly smiled and said, "Do you know why this teacup doesn't fall off? Because I installed a magnet under the cup, which is firmly attached to the iron table, so although it is fragile, it will not fall down and fall to pieces. At this time of turmoil, Major General Lu is my officer, which is this iron tabletop, which is strong and can be relied on. Naturally, a porcelain cup like me must be firmly attached to the table top to keep my safety!"
"You!" Lian Zhun was angry, "What's the messy metaphor? The prosperity is in danger. It's too late for us to hide. Your General Lu is a divine man. How many people can he kill alone?
At night, Lu Shen, Yunshang and his party arrived at Pingxing Mansion on time and stayed at the Hesheng Inn at the south gate of Pingxing.
It's not that they don't want to live in the post station or directly live in the government office; it's that the current Pingxing Mansion is in a panic. The barefoot army of Huolian Education is about to attack, and the military and business people are in a mess. Even in the post station, they can't find half an office official. It can be said that they can enter the city now. It's great luck, and it's lucky to find a place to stay in the city.
At this time, it was the first day for the barefoot army to capture Fengcheng, and it was still two days away from the famous Battle of Pingxingfu. Of course, at that time, the people at that time did not know when the barefoot army would attack, and Yunshang did not reveal a word about the Fengcheng rebellion in advance.
Therefore, when Lu Shen entered the city, he was really surprised to see such a flustered city scene. After listening to some rumors spread on the street, it has been amazing: some people say that the divine soldiers of the Yuanshi of Huolian fell from the sky to relieve their problems, and some people say that the Huolian religion is fierce and violent and likes to eat human flesh.
That night, Lu Shen and Yunshang were dressed neatly and went to visit the admiral of the Southern Army in Pingxing Town according to the normal procedures. When they voted for fame, they were told that the governor was inspecting military affairs in Ganzhou in the south, and all the other deputy generals had gathered at the governor's government to discuss military affairs. At this time, Lu Shen knew that the situation was already so serious.
After waiting for more than half an hour in the governor's government office, Lu Shen and Yun Shang were asked to go to the governor's office, saying that the governor knew that they were coming and asked them to discuss the military situation together.
After that, the two of them were arranged to wait in the small flower hall in the backyard of the governor's office.
Yunshang looked around and quietly stretched out.
This small flower hall is next to the inner hall of the governor's office. The lights are bright, and the civil servants and generals are still discussing. There is a faint fierce quarrel. It seems that the matter in Fengcheng is very troublesome. Pingxingfu is the capital of Jiangxi. The governor, the governor of Pingxing, and the governor of the Zhennan army gather here. The safety of this place is naturally the top priority.
But their meeting is too long, isn't it?
Although Lian Zhun strongly opposes entering Pingxing Prefecture, Yunshang is actually optimistic about the Fengcheng rebellion. After reading the information given by Lian Zhun, she knew that there were only a thousand people in Fengcheng's "barefoot army"; although hundreds of water bandit mountain thieves and more than a thousand rebels in Fengcheng later, they could not reach 3,000 people.
But there are more than 6,000 troops stationed in Pingxing Prefecture.
Although it is said that the "barefoot army" is one for ten, isn't the "barefoot" disciple who attacked her that time is not good? She felt that Lian Zhun said it was a little too serious. What's more, with Lu Shen and the Yulin Guard, she didn't have to worry about it herself.
Sitting idle and bored, she finally turned her head and asked Lu Shen, "General Lu, what do you think of this matter of Fengcheng?"
