Chapter 437

"Ye Gong, Cheng Qianli and his army are in Huainan and Henan are in danger, so we must save it."

After coming back to his senses, Li Cheng said anxiously that the troops in Cheng Qianli's hands were the last mobile troops of the Tang Dynasty in the Central Plains. Although these imperial guards had been stationed in the capital for a long time and had been fighting for a long time, they were still trained, which was much more decent than the group of people Ye Chang recruited now.

If something goes wrong with this force, it means that there is no force to resist the rebels from Huainan Road to Henan Road in front of the rebels.

"How to save it?" Ye Chang was a little irritated and looked at Li Cheng: "You said, how to help

Li Cheng was stunned and said for a while: "Ye Gong's famous generals in the world will always have a solution."

"A good wife cannot cook without rice. With these soldiers, how can I save her?" Ye Chang cursed, and she was somewhat out of control.

As he expected, he made a lot of preparations for this, but when the chaos really started, he realized that his so-called preparations seemed to be a drop in the bucket in front of him. If Cheng Qianli could not defeat those traitors quickly, the losses would be huge. Ye Chang's regret that the Anshi Rebellion that Ye Chang wanted to change since he came to this world made China turn from expansion to restraint.

If the Anshi Rebellion is like the Anshi Rebellion, most of the people will lose, relying on the remaining little population to protect the essence of the Central Plains. What else can you use to compete for the river with the big food, what can you use to compete with the Bohai Sea, Silla for Liaodong, let alone Ye Chang's next plan to open up the South China Sea.

"Now, looking at Da Xi Ke and Lu Yi... If they can recruit some people, the situation will change...

Ye Chang just said this, and saw another dust rising from afar. He frowned and his heart suddenly jumped: There seemed to be something unusual.

The people of Henan Province have complained about the famine and the harsh government of the court. Ye Chang also knew about this, but his source of information was mainly concentrated in the two cities of Chang'an and Luoyang. In the remote villages, the clan's power was stronger, and his power was basically unable to intervene. Therefore, although Ye Chang knew that Henan Province was also unstable, he did not realize how serious the problem was.

After all, he is not omniscient and omnipotent, and he focuses on the city and inevitably has some omissions to the countryside.

When I looked again, I found that two blood-stained officers came. When they arrived in front of Ye Chang, they couldn't breathe: "Mr. Ye, Mr. Ye... something big is not good... something is wrong, something happened."

"You... you followed Mr. Lu to Chenliu to recruit soldiers. What's going on?" Li Cheng recognized the two officers and asked in surprise.

"Mr. Ye, Mr. Li, it's not good. We just arrived in Xingyang and met thieves...Mr. Lu was killed, and only we escaped. The thieves were powerful, thousands of them."

Thieves are powerful, thousands

Li Cheng felt dizzy for a moment and almost fell to the ground. He was stunned and didn't know what to say.

Mr. Lu is Lu Yi, the father of Ye Chang's old enemy Lu Qi.

"There are thieves in Xingyang?" Ye Chang's expression finally changed. This was something that unexpected to him, and then his face changed even more: "Xingyang"

The trait leading to Dongmu passed through Yanshi, Gongxian to Xingyang. After passing through Yishui, the thieves came out of Xingyang, which proved that the thieves could cut the traits. For Henan Road, which was facing hunger, Xingyang was the lifeline of the coming harsh winter.

"If there is any loss in Xingyang, the east and west traffic will be cut off. What should I do?" Li Cheng also said anxiously.

Ye Chang's brows were tightly locked together, so he had to use his trump card. Originally, this trump card was not prepared for rebellion, but was preparing to reverse the overall situation at a critical moment.

"It's urgent, my husband, please allow me to go back to Xiuwu to recruit children." While he was hesitating, someone suddenly said to him.

Ye Chang suddenly realized: That's it

Luoyang is just apart from Xiuwu, one water and one county, and it is not far apart. Xiuwu, Wuzhi, Huaizhou, and other counties are Ye Chang's old place. Although he has been away from Xiuwu for some years, and has not returned to Xiuwu's hometown for six years since the eighth year of Tianbao, there are not a few children in his hometown. The blessings that these counties have entrusted him to him are relatively good in the entire Henan Road, and there are no shortage of food and money.

But because he hadn't returned for a long time, he forgot about this base camp instead

He looked at the blink of an eye and the person who made this suggestion to him was strong, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and Zhuo Shunfu.

This man was from Luling and later moved to Xiuwu. He was not a family of Xiuwu. He was a poor family and was taken in by Ye Chang. After Tianbao graduated from Lushun Academy for twelve years, Zhuo Shunfu followed Ye Chang. His academic performance was not outstanding and he was selected as a personal guard because he had excellent skills. In the courses offered by Lushun Academy, in addition to Chinese, mathematics, nature and moral education, there is also martial arts, which were taught by Shanzhi's stick monk brothers.

"Shunfu, I remember you are nineteen years old this year and have not written any words yet, right?" Ye Chang said: "You have the wisdom to respond to changes and can be calm when things are important... I will give you the name Dingchen."

Zhuo Shunfu's eyes lit up and he responded with his chest: "Yes, thank you for your name."

"I am looking forward to you as the remaining soldiers in Luoyang to join the army, and go to cultivate martial arts and recruit soldiers... I am looking forward to it in Luoyang."

Zhuo Shunfu responded again, and the companions next to him were both envious and jealous. After a word this time, he had a chance to stand out. Seeing that he was about to leave, Ye Chang called him again: "Twenty days, I will only give you twenty days, remember it."

Ye Chang gave the order, Liu Changqing next to him took the pen and ordered the dragon and snake quickly, and then put the seal on the talisman on it. When Ye Chang finished speaking, he handed it over to Zhuo Shunfu. Ye Chang gave him another arrow, and Zhuo Shunfu flew on his horse, and he went straight north without returning to the city.

Looking at Zhuo Shunfu's back, Liu Changqing was a little worried: "Mr. Ye, this Zhuo Dingchen is just a young man. Will you send someone who is mature and polite to help him in such a big deal?"

Ye Chang shook his head. Now that he is surrounded by people, there are no mature and polite people who can help Zhuo Shunfu? Moreover, Zhuo Shunfu is a talent from Lushun Academy. Although his academic performance is not very outstanding, how could he be chosen by him be a mediocre person?

The roads around Luoyang were smooth, and he went northeast, not stingy with horsepower, so he arrived at Heyang Bridge in more than two hours. Heyang Bridge is a floating bridge, built on the ancient Mengjin of the Yellow River. It has always been a place for military strategists to compete for. There is a city in the south and north of the bridge, and there is another city on the sandbank in the Yellow River. There is an inn outside the north and north of the bridge. Zhuo Shunqing had not stopped in the city, so he told the postman that he wanted to change horses. Suddenly, he heard the noise of chaos in the distance. He looked up in shock and saw hundreds of people outside the north and bringing the young and smoke rising from the distance.

Zhuo Shunfu frowned and knew that something was wrong. Since there was chaos in Xingyang, how could he know that there would be no chaos in Heyang.

"Give me three horses," he shouted sternly.

The postmaster shook his head repeatedly: "This is not in accordance with the rules..."

"It's now, what are the rules you have to say? The thief is coming. I'll be ordered to recruit soldiers. If you refute, don't blame me for being ruthless under the knife."

Zhuo Shunfu said, and put the knife on the Yicheng's neck. Yicheng was so scared that he was so urinating that he didn't care about any rules. He was so busy that he ordered the soldiers to bring the good horses. Zhuo Shunfu did not care about his pickiness and flew on his horse, then turned around and shouted, "You must guard Heyang Bridge..."

Before he could finish his words, the postmaster jumped onto a horse and turned around and ran away. The soldiers in the postmaster also snatched the horses, and ran without snatching the horses. In a blink of an eye, they fled in all directions.

After a long time of peace, I have never seen any war. Therefore, from the postmaster to the postmaster, they all fled in the sight of the wind.

Zhuo Shunfu's heart sank and said to himself: "These useless officers and soldiers are useless. It is really difficult for Mr. Ye to defend Luoyang with these idiots. Mr. Ye's security is all in him."

Thinking of this, he drove his horse forward. But at this moment, he heard the crying sounds. He stopped his horse and looked back at the people who were rushing towards him. He looked back and saw that the gate of Heyang North City began to close after the postmaster and postmen fled in, blocking all the people from outside.

Zhuo Shunfu felt that his heart was completely intact.

Judging from the smoke and dust, the thieves are still far away. The officers and soldiers in the city can wait for the people to escape into Heyang North City before retreating. However, they were so timid that they ignored the people who fled outside the city.

If Zhuo Shunfu had not had a heavy responsibility, he would have to rush back to Kaicheng. But thinking about Ye Chang's safety, he could only grit his teeth, then plucked his horse away from the people fleeing towards the northeast.

The thief came from northwest and went northeast. Although he did not greet him head-on, he also had a cross-shoulder. The leader of the thief was Yuan Ying. He saw Zhuo Shunfu from afar. Seeing Zhuo Shunfu's tight-fitting clothes, he suddenly remembered the math competition that Tianbao saw outside Chunming Gate in the eleventh year of the 19th year of the year. The students of Lushun Academy dressed up like this. He felt a move in his heart and shouted, "Stop that guy quickly, stop him quickly."

Most of the thieves were hungry people, and the riders were just ox and donkeys, and the horses were all children of powerful people in the village. They were greedy for the three horses around Zhuo Shunfu, and now they divided more than ten riders to intercept them. The thieves took a straight line and Zhuo Shunfu took a diagonal line. Although Zhuo Shunfu was superb in equestrian skills, they were also intercepted by the thief's forward.

Zhuo Shunfu was not panicked. When he was still thirty steps away from the thief, he was in his hand. When he reached twenty steps, he had already pulled the string and arrow. With a buzzing sound, the first thief fell off his horse.

"Cum, shoot him, shoot him," Yuan Ying, who was rushing over not far away, shouted.

The thieves also bent their bows one after another, but when they were aiming, they found that Zhuo Shunfu had disappeared. They were stunned for a moment. Before they could react, Zhuo Shunfu, who was almost hiding his whole body under the horse's belly, raised his bow diagonally, and the second arrow shot out again.

Because of the incorrect posture, the arrow was not accurate and only hit one thief's horse's forehead. The horse neighed in pain, turned its head and ran diagonally, and hit the other thief. The two thieves fell from the horse at the same time, which made coincidences.

Seeing Zhuo Shunfu breaking through the interception, Yuan Ying was furious and stood up from his horse and shouted sternly: "Ye Chang's village man's dog slave, dare to fight me."

Ye Chang was born in a farmer family and had no senior officials for generations. This matter is known to everyone in the world. Yuan Ying judged that this young man should be a member of Ye Chang, so he scolded him like this. Zhuo Shunfu had already run away, but when he heard this, he was furious. It was okay to scold him, but he could not bear it.

The three horses turned around and circled around to meet the thief and came up. Yuan Ying was overjoyed when she saw this and signaled to her left and right: "It's a young man who is irritable. Everyone will definitely take his life in a while. He must be an envoy sent by Ye Chang.

Everyone was so excited that they did not fall, but the response was not over. Only two "cry" sounds were heard connecting. Yuan Ying screamed in shock and fell from the horse.

Zhuo Shunfu put away the short crossbow he had shot, hung it on the shoulder of the horse, turned the horse's head again, and left with a smile. As Ye Chang's guard, although he did not have heavy armor at the moment, his weapons and equipment were all in place. Although this short crossbow was not far away, it was a must-have item for Ye Chang's cavalry. Moreover, because it was easy to launch, it could lock the machine with one hand, so one person often had two.

Zhuo Shunfu smiled and turned around, and found that the thief who was shot down had climbed up from the ground again. He couldn't help but be stunned: Didn't he actually shoot this guy to death?

After all, it was the horse running and wanted to hit the target, unless it was a sharp shooting like Nan Jiyun. Zhuo Shun did learn the shooting technique with Nan Jiyun, and he had eight years of hard practice. It can be said that he was outstanding, but there was still a gap compared to Nan Ba.

"Ph, pussy dog ​​slave, I fell down Aye, don't escape if I have sex," Yuan Ying vomited two mouthfuls of dust and shouted loudly.

"Your head is temporarily sent to your neck, and I will come to take it in a few days. Remember my name, Zhuo Shunfu, and Mr. Ye gave me the name Dingchen," Zhuo Shunfu shouted in the distance.

Regardless of whether the other party heard or not, he urged the horse to run northeast.

What surprised him was that the entire Heyang was extremely poor everywhere, and it was only a little better after passing Hanoi and Huaizhou. Seeing that the people were poor and destitute, Zhuo Shunfu was even more anxious: These people had no way to survive, so they could only follow the thief. Doesn’t this mean that the thieves have a very broad source of troops?

"All the officials of the dynasty were all people who had a meal. Mr. Ye was a talented person in the world, but he was not allowed to use it. The emperor suspected and the prime minister hated him. Therefore, Mr. Ye did not do his best to comfort the people... We just returned from Liaodong. When I was in Liaodong, I didn't see such a situation. Even the poor people in Liaodong could have enough food and clothing. Most of them had three meals a day. They had the opportunity to eat meat once a week, and they often ate fish..."

They received moral education courses in Lushun Academy, and there were many beautiful decorations about Ye Chang hidden in it, which was considered a private goods that Ye Chang brought when he was writing textbooks for them. At this time, compared the situation in the Central Plains with Liaodong, Zhuo Shunfu's feelings for Ye Chang were naturally sublimated. At first, it was just a private favor, but now I have a very real understanding of why those literati always say Ye Chang, "If you don't have a stone out, what is the common people?"
