The river water is rippling with blue waves, making people feel as if they are in a painting.
The trousers are rolled up high and the boatman is shirtless. His face is full of the vicissitudes of time. Looking at the boats, people, and water in the river makes me feel a little calm in the scenery and environment.
The wooden boat was only more than ten meters long and two meters wide, but the people on each boat looked very calm.
Watching the boat steadily, if you don't move quickly, the boat will go faster than the current.
At this time, Yeluqi rode his horse and stood quietly, while the bay-red horse was walking slowly in the area. Looking at Yeluqi's calm face, although he said nothing, he was always calculating and calculating.
"According to the reports from the scouts, less than three miles north of the Yangtze River is the Zhou Dynasty court water village. If you are responsible for dealing with this matter, I don't know how to plan it!" Looking at this situation, the old man turned his head again and looked at Lin Renzhao here. , still asked Su Hou.
"Could this matter have something to do with the palace?" Seeing the previous confrontation gradually stopping, Su Hou pondered to calm himself down, and seemed to suddenly think of something. Looking at the old man with some thoughts, he couldn't help but frown.
The water village that the old man mentioned was naturally the outpost that was about to reach Jinling City. There was a water village there that was the only way to go from the north to the south. What used to belong to the Tang State has now naturally become the land of the Central Plains.
If the information transmitted is accurate, the hundreds of soldiers stationed in this water village now completely control the road south. It not only includes the waterway, but also the only official access point, which is really the fortress into Jinling City.
"Although there is very little contact, what is surprising now is that the general guarding this water village is said to be a real confidant of Guo Rong from the Central Plains. This person was originally a local force in Jinling City. After joining the Central Plains, he was reused. Now he is Guo Rong's confidant." The old man seemed a little calm, but his meaning was surprising.
"It is reported that after Guo Rong occupied Jiangbei, he sent people to lure people from Jinling City to rebel. Unexpectedly, the people in the water village across the street are actually people from Jinling City. Isn't it true that he is not afraid of this person inciting rebellion, and does it not raise any suspicion?" Lian Su Hou was surprised, obviously the old man's words shocked him.
"Maybe this is courage!" The old man looked calmly: "In recent decades, there have been no more than three people with this courage. Sure enough, the purpose of this visit is to wait for people in Jinling City to panic! Even if there is doubt, there is no Attacking and killing this person shows that Jiangbei is just Guo Rong’s chessboard!”
"When the Central Plains hurried back to Bianjing, Guo Rong ordered someone to send a message to Jinling. Now that the Tang State has become a vassal state of the Central Plains, this is Li Buffer's plan. Isn't it possible that he has made arrangements for these main figures who are guarding the south?" When Su Hou thought of Geng Xiansheng in the palace, he was naturally a little confused.
"Although Guo Rong wouldn't care about a mere Li, he still thinks of his arrangements. As the leader of a force, the most important thing to do is to plan in advance. If he has scouts and spies operating nearby, the first thing people will think of is, Compared with Guo Rong, this Li is not only one level different!"
The old man looked around, suddenly speaking with some seriousness!
Because there is a fast horse to travel, Guo Jing can control the speed at any time, and does not have to worry about the wooden boats in the river. What's more, we have already given instructions. If there is no obstacle to the wooden boat, everyone will disembark five or six miles away from the water village.
At this time, seeing the speed of the wooden boat, which was obviously not slower than that of a fast horse, Guo Jing felt much relieved. If we keep going like this, we should be able to arrive earlier than expected. I hope Pan Chongche in Hengzhou City can hold on, otherwise this operation will be in vain.
Knowing that various situations might arise at any time along the way, Guo Jing remained calm. No matter whether the other party sent out scouts or spies, he needed to prepare in advance. After all, any careless words can lead to failure.
Guo Jing is no longer the scholar he was before, but a general who has experienced hundreds of battles, and a commander with a certain courage. Otherwise, how can we gain a foothold in the land of Chu, and how can we gain a foothold in the western part of Chu where there are many barbarians?
The emperor's full trust was only one of the motivations for Guo Jing to move forward. What Guo Jing cared about was the cake drawn by the emperor Liu Jixing, which was the hope that one day the world would be peaceful and everyone could live a stable and prosperous life.
Guo Jing is willing to fight for this ideal, and he is even more willing to fight for this ideal until he is old. Even if he is buried in horse leather, Guo Jing will feel that he will have no regrets in his life.
Looking at the few people following him, Guo Jing felt somewhat comforted. There are not only Peng Cong and several personal guards here, but also Zheng Tuo, the King of Poisons who has always kept a low profile.
Not to mention that Peng Cong and Lin are representatives of the Military Academy of Prince Xing's Mansion and are talents that the emperor focuses on cultivating. Even if they are ordinary tooth soldiers, Guo Jing will make them stronger. Only when they are truly strong can they stand more firmly in this rough land and have more helpers.
The official road in front gradually ascends. Although it is blocked by hills and hills, it is often the most taboo place for scouts and spies. But with Zheng Tuo, a master here, not to mention a master in the martial arts world, ordinary lurking people could not escape his eyes and ears, so Guo Jing did not have the slightest worry.
From Zheng Tuo's initial protection of Guo Jing, to now Guo Jing's treating Zheng Tuo as his husband, the two of them seem to be getting along quite well.
"Your Majesty, please don't worry, a few people have already made arrangements!" The dark and thin young man next to Peng Cong replied with his fists clasped, his eyes full of confidence and said: "The ten of them have been divided into three canoes to set off early. At this time I'm afraid we're close to Xidu Water Village!"
"Okay! So I will wait patiently for you and wait for the good news to come!" Guo Jing looked into the distance with high spirits, and his mood was extremely agitated.
! ! !
"General, send a message from Hengzhou City!"
The urgent report made Xia Zuo, who was already a little unhappy, feel angry. I originally thought that following Zhang Wenbiao would be a good opportunity for me to take off. Unexpectedly, Zhang Wenbiao, who was ambitious but not very talented, was very careless and really thought that Chu Nan was his world.
Unexpectedly, someone raided their home. Now not only many members of the Zhang family are trapped, but also many members of the Xia family have fallen into the hands of the other party. Although Zhang Wenbiao surrounded Hengzhou City, he was afraid that the people in the city would jump over the wall in a hurry.
It is estimated that Zhang Wenbiao will not have much reaction to killing those family members of the Zhang family. Because the Zhang family who followed in Hengzhou City only had two concubines and a few children from concubines. However, the families of the generals and counselors who followed Zhang Wenbiao were also in Hengzhou City.
Zhang Wenbiao originally thought that surrounding Hengzhou City would serve as a deterrent, but now his thoughts were constantly shaken by the people in the city. What made Xia Zuo even more angry was that he was in the water village and was almost assassinated by people sent from the city.
