In the advancing team, Yang Yunfan discovered an acquaintance, who turned out to be Han Ziyuan, whom he had "unknown without fighting" in Kaizhou City. Han Ziyuan is accompanied by seven or eight martial arts masters who must be the personal bodyguards that Han Ziyuan's father found for him.
Yang Yunfan and Chen Zishan greeted Ye Li and walked towards Han Ziyuan in front.
When he got closer, he saw that it was indeed Han Ziyuan, and Yang Yunfan was overjoyed. Although he knew that Han Ziyuan also liked Tang Feng, the two might still be love rivals. But when he met an old friend on the road, he still held his fists and smiled and came forward to say hello: "Brother Han, you are welcome and well."
Han Ziyuan was also stunned. After recognizing Yang Yunfan, he laughed. He also imitated Yang Yunfan and clasped his fists and said, "Brother Yang Xian, it's really you. I miss you so much after we say goodbye to Kaizhou."
Chen Zishan also came from behind to say hello to Han Ziyuan, and everyone exchanged pleasantries again.
Yang Yunfan asked: "I heard that Brother Han has become the general magistrate of Hanzhou. I am really happy and congratulated."
Han Ziyuan smiled bitterly and said: "What's there to congratulate? As a general judge of a state, he will be killed by the rebel army after breaking the city. The general judge of Shuzhou is the same year as me. I heard that not long ago, the general judge of Shuzhou When it fell, he was killed by the rebels, and his body was hung at the city gate for several days. On the orders of Lord Zhizhou, I came to escort Hanzhou's grain and grass to Jiangyuan County. It was not only for the country and the people, but also to protect myself. I hope The rebellion can be put down as soon as possible.”
Yang Yunfan sighed and said: "The current situation is like this, we just have to do our best. I only hope that this time we can defeat the thief in one battle."
Just as a few people were talking, there was a burst of noisy sounds on the crowded road ahead, and there was also a voice among them. They sounded very familiar to them, but they couldn't remember who it was for the moment, so they quickly stepped forward. See what happens.
The three of them passed through the crowd watching the excitement and came to the place where the quarrel was taking place. They saw noise coming from inside.
"I have already said that these are weapons and supplies. They should not be bumped. You are pushing the food in front and the road is damaged. We can't go. Let us go first. Otherwise, if these weapons and supplies are damaged, everyone will I can't bear it." A familiar voice came, and Yang Yunfan and the other two were overjoyed to find out that this person turned out to be Tang Yu.
"Senior Brother Tang, are you going to Jiangyuan County too?" Yang Yunfan said with a smile. Chen Zishan was also looking at him with a smile.
"Brother Tang, why are you arguing?" Han Ziyuan also stepped forward and asked.
Tang Yuleng, who was negotiating with the grain transport convoy in front, was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect to see the three of them here. He also said with a happy smile: "Junior Brother Yang, Junior Brother Chen, and Brother Han, the three of you are here well." Ah, I was escorting some weapons and supplies to Jiangyuan County, and I was afraid that they would be damaged due to the bumps, so I got into a dispute with others."
Seeing this, Han Ziyuan stepped forward to chat with the group of people transporting food. After that group of people knew Han Ziyuan's identity as the general magistrate of Hanzhou, they did not dare to argue again and had to let the Tang family's motorcade pass first. Tang Yu exchanged a few words with the escort of the convoy, then came to the back to chat with the three of them.
"Senior Brother Tang, what weapons and supplies are you transporting with such care?" Yang Yunfan said first.
Tang Yu said: "Hey, these are some new crossbows and strong bows. The road is bumpy, so I'm afraid they might be damaged. Our Tang Sect's shop in Chengdu mainly sells such items. We have no food to pay taxes this time. This can only be used to deduct taxes, and it happens to come in handy, and the government also highly approves it.”
"Have you brought those two killer weapons?" Chen Zishan looked at Tang Yu expectantly. Ever since he saw Tang Yu's newly developed "Burning Pear Crossbow" and "Bed Crossbow" in the Tang Sect's agency room, Chen Zishan has never forgotten those two killer weapons.
Hearing this, Tang Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head and said: "No, the crossbows shipped this time are all in stock in the store in Chengdu Prefecture. Kaizhou City is too far away from Chengdu Prefecture, and the two big killer weapons are too bulky and difficult to transport by land. , it can only be transported by water. Moreover, it has not been fully developed yet, and there are still many areas that need to be improved. We dare not use it rashly, so we did not bring the front line this time."
Yang Yunfan said with a smile: "Senior Brother Tang will definitely be a blockbuster in the future!"
Han Ziyuan on the side did not understand the words of the three people and was not interested in asking in detail. What he was thinking about was Tang Feng's current situation. He hesitated and then asked, "Brother Tang, is Miss Feng'er okay now?"
In fact, when Yang Yunfan first met Tang Yu, he wanted to ask him this question, but seeing Han Ziyuan beside him, he didn't ask. Seeing that Han Ziyuan asked first, Yang Yunfan still felt a little sour in his heart. Then he also looked at Tang Yu.
Tang Yu saw the expressions of the two of them and smiled bitterly and said: "To be honest with you two, Feng'er also came with me on this trip to the west. She is now in Chengdu."
"What?"
"What?"
Han Ziyuan and Yang Yunfan exclaimed at the same time, then they both lowered their heads and coughed softly, laughing to hide their embarrassment.
Tang Yu and Chen Zishan on the side looked at each other, smiled playfully, and looked at them.
Tang Yu explained: "Feng'er heard that I was coming to Chengdu and insisted on coming. She said that she had heard about the prosperity of Chengdu for a long time and wanted to come and take a look." After finishing speaking, Tang Yu glanced at Yang Yunfan meaningfully.
"Brother Tang shouldn't have brought Miss Feng'er here with this chaotic situation," Han Ziyuan said. Although he said this, he was still thinking about how to find a chance to go back to Chengdu to see her.
Yang Yunfan also asked: "Senior Brother Tang is going to Jiangyuan County, why didn't Miss Feng'er go with him? Where is she staying in Chengdu Prefecture now?" Chengdu Prefecture is not peaceful now, Yang Yunfan is worried about Tang Feng's safety, so he asks this question .
"Don't worry, you two. Feng'er is accompanied by the maid Xiaoyun. She is currently in the store opened by my Tang family in Chengdu. She is safe," Tang Yu said to the two of them with a smile.
The weather in mid-to-late September is still a bit hot. Under the same sky, busy people with different pursuits are moving towards the same goal.
While everyone was rushing to deliver supplies to Jiangyuan County, the rebel army led by Wang Xiaobo also set off from Qiongzhou and came to Jiangyuan County.
The government has been preparing grain and gathering troops with great fanfare these days, which has already alarmed the rebels. In order to prepare for this decisive battle in Jiangyuan, Wang Xiaobo and the rebel leaders had been planning for a long time.
Compared with the embarrassing situation when the government raised money and grain from both wealthy merchants and the common people, the rebels had an easier time. After they captured Qingcheng County, Pengshan County, Shuzhou and Qiongzhou, they took the money of local wealthy businessmen and the government. They confiscated all the land and used it as military supplies without imposing a penny of tax on the local people, which made the rebels very popular.
While they were raising food and grass, preparing troops and horses, they were also sending scouts and horses to spy on the military situation, making sufficient preparations for this decisive battle.
In order to increase the certainty of victory, after discussion, the rebel leaders decided to repeat their old tactics and once again sent internal officers into the city to contain and disrupt the officers and soldiers guarding the city, and to spy on the intelligence inside the city.
After discussion, the rebels approved the plan proposed by Chu Lihan, allowing the brothers Meng Nan and Meng Yuhang, the fourth master of the Kowloon Society, to sneak into the city.
Meng Nan is highly skilled in martial arts and has excellent light skills. He is good at sneaking at night and spying on intelligence.
Meng Yuhang has a delicate mind, a smooth manner, and a strong adaptability. The two cooperated tacitly and successfully followed the grain transport army into the city.
