Four hundred and twentieth chapters various
With the fierce sound of horse hooves rising, the elongated smoke and dust rolling. Zhao Yingong, who was already the commander of the horse army in front of the Second Taiping Army, rode his horse and galloped on the field on the banks of the Caohe River, allowing the hot wind to wrap the sand and dust to slam the face without being moved.
I saw sails heading north along the Caohe River, and the sails traveled far and near the river surface were passed by them and left far behind.
In fact, before summoning the military discussion, half of the cavalry and cavalry battalion, which was the reserve force of the central army and the mobile force, was ordered to set out in advance as a reserve force and a mobile force of the central army, who were always able to enter the battle state at any time, under the leadership of Zhao Yingong.
For this reason, they also adopted a rotation configuration of one man and two horses for the first time; one was used to provide riding and transportation, and the other was used to carry personal rations, armor and machinery, so as to save time in the marching, and even maintain and deal with each other for a longer period of time.
In addition, there are more than 100 horses specially used to drag a large cart to carry the corresponding equipment and equipment. In this way, once you encounter an enemy or other accidents, you will have some energy to quickly enter the battle.
"If you respond to everything, just let go. Nothing else matters, as long as you can, you will be considered one;"
And the previous leader's explanation is still vivid in his ears.
"The whole person that will be mobilized will be your best cover and backing. Even if things are really irreversible, we must try to give me a result and an answer."
This made him both moved and had a great responsibility. Not to mention that they have now removed the prominent characteristics of the Taiping Army and dressed up as the rebels directly under the military office. Yes, the source of their outfits and flag guards was the six hundred guards sent by the Huang Wang Tribe to Cao Xiaozi, who were the ritual guards in front of the army.
Therefore, they came over at lightning speed and had almost never encountered any existence that dared to stop or question them; but the closer they got to Xuyi City, he waved his hand and made people slow down.
“Take food…”
Then with his order, the dusty horsemen began to take out the dry food from the bags on the slowly walking horseback; they started to eat from the inside out and from behind to front.
Of course, for example, the infantrymen have distributed to the fourth generation, and added minced meat, fish pine and dried vegetables, but they are still dry and firmly compressed biscuits and canned meat. The rations of the cavaliers are much better; they have two options: wheat flour, salted fried noodles made of soy sauce and oil, and granulated sugar-fried rice crisps.
Therefore, you can swallow it with water without any effort. Even when the horseback is bumpy while riding, you can quickly and conveniently eat and replenish your energy. The two large bags of water bags they carry are also packed with refreshing and thirsty pots and quenching their thirst, and packed with strong salt and sugar water.
Another horse was dragging the compressed soybean meal cake and green fermented forage pieces on the cart to replenish fat and maintain physical strength for the long-term driving horses. Therefore, once the marching team stopped, someone would feed the mount.
With this urgent and orderly rhythm, they had already approached Xuyi City in less than a day and took less than a day to move forward.
The only thing that can hinder them is the water nets, rivers and canals that frequently encounter on the road, and the road conditions that are sometimes good and sometimes bad; in addition, the intervals that mounts need to stop and recover their physical strength.
Just between the silence of only horse hooves and the uneasy meals; the raccoons who went to Xuyi City to investigate also returned one after another, thus bringing all kinds of news near Xuyi City; however, what was surprising was that the news received was calm.
Even Xuyi City, which had just changed hands, was opened to the gates, and the people were allowed to come and go. Even if they saw the rover who was going to peep, they ignored it and ignored it, as if nothing had happened and had not been affected at all.
"Continue to send people to investigate, and move closer to the last place where the news came out, along the river bank and the Caohe River respectively."
Zhao Yingong said decisively.
"I don't believe it anymore. There are nearly two thousand people in total, so there is no trace or news left behind?"
After half a day, it seemed as if it had confirmed his determination and belief; the farthest route was to investigate the raft. More than 20 miles northwest of Xuyi City, a place called Jingdize was discovered in advance, and the wreckage of the equipment suspected to have been abandoned and burned.
.........
And under the city of Shanyang, in the temporary military tent that was silent, the messenger from Huang Chao had just left.
"It is said that the crazy monk Xu has led his troops to kill Gaoyou. Everyone said that he would do whatever he dares to block the way..."
"So, are Pang Shigu, Fei Chuangu, Gai Hong and others willing to go and dissuade or intercept?"
"The king has sent Liu Tang, the military treasury envoy, and Zhao Zhang, the right branch envoy, to ask about the situation. Let's hold on to this matter first."
"In addition, Huang Wang has already said that if this matter is serious, it would be a mistake for Lao Shang to do... If he lets ignore it, he is afraid that anyone will dare to respond and obey the orders of the Military Office in the future. Therefore, please ask General Manager Shang to make a statement."
Then, in a strange look and expression that was tempted to speak but stopped, or was notoriously ignorant.
"This is not my instructive or submission... Why don't you believe it? If it is really what I do, it is what I do, and there is no reason to refuse to admit it."
The thin and handsome vice-president Shang Rang also walked around in great trouble, like a trapped beast falling into a trap.
"Who is taking the opportunity to harm and frame me; or is that dog acting without authorization... I sent someone to ask about the results of the troops under Chuzhou, but haven't replied yet?"
"Damn it, it's really damn. They are all useless things. Usually, they need money, food, armor and weapons. They make a fuss and make fun of each other. Why can't no one give it to you at this moment? "
"I really have to go all out to fight with Monk Naxu. No matter whether I win or lose, I will become a joke in the army... Even if King Huang is there, I won't let me live a good life easily."
"If I have a hard time, do you still want to be well off? Do you really want to be demolished to other departments to listen to the results and do something to rely on others?"
As the second person in the rebel army to be under the Huang King, he certainly felt proud and proud, but he also had the decisiveness and intent to face reality.
That is why Wang Xianzhi was defeated and died, and his brother Shang Junchang was intercepted by Song Wei, the governor of Pinglu. Later, he resolutely led the old brothers on Yaqian Mountain to break the siege of the official army, and then joined Huang Chao, another major mountain in the rebel army, and obtained the qualification and identity of the second rebel army now.
Although he was a little unhappy and indignant about being threatened and forced by an opponent who could only seek a future under his own hands; but in the face of a heavy price that was about to happen and could hurt him, he was still willing to express his attitude and position to avoid risks.
Then he scolded and vented, and drove all the generals away to work, or pretended to be busy. Shang Rang said coldly to Tian Chengrong, the envoy of the General's Mansion who returned to the scene, without any false expression.
"What's the situation in the General's Mansion? How could you send you here? Kong Bugeng, Chen Ju and the others have no news to send it out..."
"Mr. Shang doesn't know something... something happened in the military mansion this time..."
Tian Chengrong, who had already changed his respectful expression, said repeatedly.
"The Cong Envoy Kong, Chen Kongmu, Wei Zhubo and others, have been detained and imprisoned one after another; Li Chanjun even drank medicine himself when he was arrested. In the end, even Huang (Ye)'s patrol (Grain) Courtyard was taken away in public and he never showed up again."
".This time I took the initiative to ask for this job to ask for this job that came to pass on the message and present the love in person..."
"What's the situation...but is it against me?"
Shang Rang's long and sharp eyebrows couldn't help but raise them.
"It is said that some are suspected of leaking the inside story in the mansion, some are delaying military aircraft, some are missing documents; some are intending to deceive the king... The crimes are different, but at least a dozen people are involved..."
Tian Chengrong shook his head and said.
"There is said that the inside and outside will be further purged, but it is not only the General Manager's relationship. I'm afraid that other major things have happened... Please prepare for the General Manager early."
.........
In the General's Mansion in Tianchang County, Huang Yan, the envoy of the grain patrol and gatekeeper, also knelt on the ground, and cried loudly at Huang Chao, who was dressed in plain clothes and had a heavy face as heavy as iron.
"Brother, I am sincere. I don't want to distract or disturb you, so as not to delay my brother from secretly negotiating the big news of the recruitment."
"But I don't want the guy who came from my Li Jun (joined the army) to secretly hide evil intentions, secretly eliminated several military documents and cases, and even advised me to suppress this matter and then make a decision."
"I have always used him to do it but was blinded by lard. I would actually make this huge mistake after listening to his nonsense. Now, I dare not expect my elder brother to spare my mistakes."
"I just want to think about the principle of falling leaves returning to my roots when I came out for my hometown to fight for my life. After I was sentenced to death, I would be buried back at the foot of Mount E in my hometown. I don't have to be a good foreigner who has no place to fall in love with me."
Hearing this, although Huang Chao was still expressionless, he sighed heavily in his heart; and touched the memories and old stories of his hometown; as a child of the Huang family and a member of the neighboring tribe, Huang Yan participated in the family's salt trading career very early; but he wasted his time until he was old enough to get married.
Then, not long after the newlyweds, he encountered his failure to return home. He met the clerks and powerful families from the county who coveted and seized Huang's family's belongings, and eventually had to take on the situation. As a result, Huang Yan left his newlywed wife and followed him without hesitation.
When I fight back a few months later, I can't escape the result of the massacre of the whole family. I don't know how much suffering I suffered or how many sins I suffered. What I suffered from death and how much injuries I suffered from. It was only after I finally had the opportunity to enjoy my happiness that I was implicated and committed this kind of death crime.
Therefore, when Huang Chao found that he had no reservations to confess his guilt, he found it difficult for him to make up his mind to directly order him to drag him out and get rid of him.
When Huang Chao left without saying a word, Huang Yan, who was kneeling on the spot, also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart; but he said that this fatal hurdle was finally over; and then he secretly thanked the person who secretly sent someone to hang out to him and gave him some advice;
This elder brother was able to endure hardships in his early years and was able to strictly regulate himself and others. Therefore, he was not ruthless in order to do so. However, as he became more and more powerful in recent years, he became a little nostalgic.
Therefore, only by meeting their preferences and following the trend can we find such a front-line turning point for ourselves in this crisis; after all, everyone is the Huang family. Can we really be cruel to kill our brothers who have used old and familiarity and give up the key position to other outsiders?
Therefore, next he had to find a way to find an opportunity to let this elder brother go down the road; in order to truly escape from this improperly handled trust crisis and gain the possibility of a resurgence in the future.
