After escorting the grain and grass from Chuzhou, Xu Yunyan and his party hurried towards the southernmost camp of Huainan Road where Li Jing and Fugong Bing were facing each other.
He didn't dare to delay in any way. Not to mention Li Jing's military prowess, even Li Jing's style of doing things was never polite and he couldn't help himself.
In Chuzhou, Liu Jun would still care that he had been the governor before. Could it be that Li Jing, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, would care about his false reputation? What's more, he is the Duke of the country and a general.
When Shi, the head of the Zhechong Prefecture in Chuzhou, proposed to take a rest on the way, Xu Yunyan flatly refused.
"Everyone, the person who asked us to deliver the food is General Li Jingli. You must have heard of his reputation. How dare we delay like this?"
After Xu Yunyan said this, the chief historian of Chuzhou Zhechong Mansion temporarily retreated, but he came again soon and began to speak quietly in Xu Yunyan's ears.
"My lord, what you just said is that our soldier has been walking for most of the day. Do you want to let him rest?"
Chang Shi looked at Xu Yunyan, looking a little confused, waiting for the next meaning, and stepped forward again to speak to Xu Yunyan in a lower voice.
"Sir, we are in such a hurry to get to the front line that we may not have much to gain."
This Zhechong Mansion Chief Shi whispered to Xu Yunyan from the side, which shocked Xu Yunyan.
Although I really wanted to get angry and repair these people who were cheating and abducting them, but in order to get more information and prevent such incidents from happening again in the future, I pretended to be shocked and asked Chang Shi.
"You are escorting the grain and fodder and you want to interfere with it and deduct the grain and fodder? If General Li Jing finds out about this, will he still want our heads?"
Seeing Xu Yunyan's frightened look, Chang Shi hurriedly shook his head, "Oh my god, you are wrong. How could we use these military rations? Although part of this military ration is for us to supply along the way, there is no such ration at the military camp." Any questions.
We mean why should we march in such a hurry? The road that adults choose is the shortest road, but it avoids all the county towns.
Why don't we go to this county? Although it's a little longer, it's safe. And every time we go to a county, we should make up for it on the spot. Are these other counties still not allowed to send us some food, grass and military pay? "
Hearing this, Xu Yunyan suddenly realized that it turned out that these people were targeting the surrounding counties. He wanted to get to the surrounding counties as quickly as possible. Although the roads in some places were impassable, Xu Yunyan commanded the convoy and there was no way there. They walked out of a small road, entered from one main road to another, and rushed to the front line as quickly as possible.
Now that I know what Chang Shi's plan is, if I don't express anything, will Chang Shi feel that I'm not on the same page with him and be wary of him at all times?
After Xu Yunyan made such a plan, he looked at Chang Shi, "Do you know where the nearest county seat is? It is indeed getting dark. It's time for us to find a place to stay for the night."
"My lord is absolutely right."
Seeing that Xu Yunyan agreed with what he said, Chang Shi hurriedly pointed ahead.
"There is a small county ten miles to the southeast. We can camp next to the county. Not only can we ensure safety, but we can also get some supplies. Why not? Sir, what about us?"
Seeing Chang Shi asking for instructions from him, Xu Yunyan nodded, "What else can I say? Let's go camp next to the county town. But for the sake of safety, Lao Chang Shi will go ahead and explore the way for us." good?"
When Xu Yunyan said this, Chang Shi nodded hurriedly, "Your Majesty is right, this is what I should do. Your Majesty, take the convoy and drive slowly. A certain family will go to the front to take care of your Majesty and wait for your Majesty's arrival."
Xu Yunyan watched Chang Shi leave quickly and couldn't help but feel a little chilly here. This long history of flattering Shangguan and exploiting the county below does not necessarily mean what it will be like when something unexpected happens again.
Seeing Xu Yunyan, the chief officer who had already walked away, raised his hand and turned around in a circle, some teams were quickly approaching him.
"Captain!"
Looking at the gathered warriors who followed him from Yunzhou, Xu Yunyan ordered them.
"You all followed me all the way from Yunzhou. I said when I was in Yunzhou, we are here to protect the country and the people, and we cannot embarrass our fellow villagers. Although we are not in Hebei Province now and have come to Huainan Road , I also hope you can remember what I said."
As soon as Xu Yunyan finished saying this, the team members nodded hurriedly, "What the Governor says will be whatever it is. We must follow the Captain's lead."
Look at these teams waiting for their arrangements here. Xu Yunyan nodded, "In that case, let's make an agreement. Everyone will give me the requirements. No one will leave the camp after setting up camp. Of course, the scouts who should be sent out will still be sent out, and this scout is not allowed to be given to me." When you enter the city, you are not allowed to harass anyone. The laws I mentioned when I was in Zhe Chong Mansion are not a joke."
After Xu Yunyan finished speaking, these people nodded hurriedly: "The Governor said yes, we will strictly demand them, and we will never let them cause trouble for the Governor."
After they said this, they even started to compliment here, "The Governor still loves the people as much as his son, but I don't know where the Governor is now. If I know that the Governor is here in Chuzhou, I will definitely go to the Governor's command to listen when I have time." Teaching.”
Xu Yunyan was also chatting with them here, but he didn't say where he was. He didn't want to see a bunch of big and powerful men surrounding him as soon as he opened his eyes. Wandering around on your own.
Even though he was their former Shangguan, Xu Yunyan said to them after thinking for a while.
"You are all captains now. You are no longer the top soldiers you were before. You may continue to be brigade commanders and captains in the future. You can't hang around me all day. Maybe one of you will one day Now that I have become the governor, it is possible for me to obey your orders at that time. Didn't I say that? A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier."
Xu Yunyan burst into laughter as soon as he finished speaking. This harmonious scene made Xu Yunyan feel that it would be great if he had been in the Tang Army camp from the beginning, but there was a stain on his body that could never be washed away.
While they were having fun, the team quickly arrived next to the county seat.
Xu Yunyan arranged for them to camp along the road, but before Xu Yunyan could complete the arrangements, Chang Shi came again.
Only this time, Chang Shi was not alone. Next to Chang Shi was a person who looked like a county magistrate.
