At the third watch of the next day, Li Ziyu indeed ordered the sergeant to make rice. The fifth watch arrived, and he set out on the road under the hazy moonlight.
And this time, Chu Yunzhi was worried about this junior brother and went with him.
As soon as their group left, Wei Dayong couldn't hold himself any longer. He immediately dressed himself up and ordered his navy brothers to untie the oars and make oars. In less than an hour, they were all gone.
Only Xu Lang didn't mount his horse until dawn and came to the camp.
There was not much mobilization, and it was still the usual strategy. Xu Lang still brought 10,000 light cavalry to attack Changsha County. The remaining army must reach the predetermined location before sunset.
…
Smoke and dust are billowing, Xu Lang is riding in front, full of heroic spirit.
After Yuezhou was captured, he ordered Li Ziyu to seal off the entire city, strictly prevent entry and exit, and limit the leakage of news of Yuezhou's city destruction to the greatest extent.
It should be said that in an era when information is not convenient, such measures are effective. He led the team directly around Luocheng and rushed to the northern suburbs of Changsha County. This Luocheng is also under the jurisdiction of Yuezhou and has thousands of troops stationed there. However, the matter of recruiting and surrendering will only be a matter of Li Ziyu's words. In order to avoid complications, Xu Lang did not disturb their thoughts.
When the war broke out in Changsha, Luocheng was inevitably affected, and many people in the city had taken refuge in the countryside. As a small city, Luocheng was lucky to be able to defend the city well. Therefore, after the war had been going on for so long, Luo Cheng had been adhering to Li Ziyu's spiritual instructions and only guarded two acres of his own land. He did not dare to go out to fight in the wild easily, let alone take a few thousand people to go south to Changsha.
Therefore, when Xu Lang and other ten thousand horses galloped through the countryside, they only made some people dumbfounded.
"Where did these people come from? Why are they moving so fast?"
"Maybe it was sent to Changsha by Prince Ping!"
"I'm afraid it's hard to tell. Ah San, who made a living in Xiangyang in Qiancun, returned to his hometown a few days ago! It is said that Xiangyang has been captured by some British king, and Prince Ping has long gone to who knows where."
"Why, why are they leaving so many bags?"
…
As soon as Xu Lang and the others finished leaving, discussions started and curiosity arose.
It's no wonder that for the common people, when the world is in chaos, the most important thing they care about is whether they can survive. Although I was watching the army passing through the door, I felt very uneasy, but the army passed by in a hurry and did not disturb them. They also scattered some paper and food and grass to the door of my house. It was obvious that they were a group of soldiers. The legendary teacher of benevolence and righteousness. Naturally, when there is a chance, we have to talk about it.
And among the crowd, there was always someone who knew a few words, picked up the pieces of paper, and read them carefully.
"A letter to my father and fellow countrymen. Since Prince Jing came to power as regent, he has exercised power wantonly and committed adultery in the palace..."
Undoubtedly, this is a mediocre statement, and Xu Lang put a lot of thought into it so that the common people can understand it roughly. This move was actually learned from his senior brother Ying Wang Gui Yunzheng. If you want to fight the war smoothly, you must pay attention to walking with the people. This truth is actually very simple. He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world!
"This King of England should be a good one. You see, it is said here that the reason why he wants to rise up and revolt is to ask for help for the people of the world and to oust the regent so that everyone can live a good life."
The commentator made everyone nod.
In fact, they don't know much about the matters in the court, but life is indeed not that easy. However, because it was in the Hunan area, there didn't seem to be such a strong centripetal force towards the imperial court. Therefore, this man dared to speak openly about the regent, but the taboo "taboo for the venerable" had no effect on him.
