Royal Road

Chapter 66 Approach

The wind is stronger today, and the ground is covered with hoarfrost. But sitting in the room, Guo Jiao felt warm all over. He was wearing a silk robe, and his legs were covered with thick wool felt. In the charcoal basin near his feet, he burned with fine charcoal. The smoke was not big and it was very durable. Under this heavy protection, how can you still feel cold? In previous years, it was finally his turn to enjoy such days that he didn’t even dare to think about. This is all hard earned by myself!

After taking a sip of the steaming buttermilk, he turned another page of the account book and looked at the number of rows on it, only feeling relaxed and happy. In these days, he got a lot of cheap scriptures from Liang Mansion, and let his servants sell them to Sizhou through Taixing. He was not like Liang Zixi, who only looked for food, but sold the book for 20,000 yuan.

This time, there was almost one hundred thousand money in the account. So there are winter clothes, fine charcoal, and two more maids, how can it not make people comfortable?

This Liang Zixi is really a friend.

After slowly going through the accounts, Guo Jiao closed his eyes and thought about next year’s business. As long as Liang’s mansion starts printing books after the beginning of the spring, he will get more, and this time take the white path to Yecheng. The business there shouldn’t be too bad. A few times back and forth, I’m afraid there are hundreds of thousands of dollars, right?

Zhengmei was thinking in her heart, the closed door was suddenly knocked open with a “bang”, and a small official rushed in in embarrassment: “The county lord! Make a noise, make a noise, make a noise!”

So scared that the pottery bowl in his hand almost fell to the ground, Guo Jiao said angrily: “Laughter! Is there any rules?! What is it?”

“Rebellion!” The little official knelt down with a bang, “There is another rebellion on the Xiongnu side!”

“Ah!” The pottery bowl fell on the table, and the white soup was scattered all over the table, but Guo Jiao couldn’t take care of it, and suddenly stood up, “Where did it mess up? How many people did it hit? Where did it go? ”

“Xixian! It should be Xixian! There were as many as four to five hundred people, and several villages were swept away along the way, and I saw that they were coming to the county government!” The scared man was almost crying, trembling. Endowment.

“Damn! Go and ask Captain Wu to come over!” Guo Jiao shouted.

Taihang Pass is next to Gaodu City, and it is naturally guarded by garrisons, and the leader of the army is Wu Ling, the supervising officer of the thousand people. However, it was a coincidence that the weather was cold and Xiao Wei Wu stayed in the city most of the time. The little official knew that the matter was of great importance, and did not dare to delay, so he ran out immediately.

Guo Jiao moved around the room anxiously. Huns! You know, a few years ago, the Shangdang messed up once. The Huns, Hao San, led his army to attack the prefecture, not only broke the city of Luzhou, but also killed the chief officials and swept most of the prefecture! Tens of thousands of Ma Lanqiang and Lu Shuihu held them among them, fought and joined the three states of Yong and Qin, making the world restless. The chaos continued for six years before being suppressed.

If you do this again, can your little Gaodu be able to hold it?

After a chill, Guo Jiao suddenly remembered another thing and shouted: “Come here!”

The pro who was waiting hurried forward. Guo Jiao said with a solemn expression: “You take the letter to Liang Mansion as soon as possible, saying that the rebellion is coming, and you want to attack the mansion city, let him be careful!”

Although the fortifications of Liang Mansion are well built, they are not as good as Mansion City after all. If this group of tigers and wolves go around to attack Liang’s Mansion, it won’t be good. What Guo Jiao said also received great benefits from others. At this time, naturally, Liang Feng can’t be forgotten.

The kiss hurried out. After another moment, a beard-faced man strode in, and said at once: “Are there riots coming?!”

“Lieutenant Wu, you are here! There is a wave of rebellious soldiers coming towards Gaodu. It is said that they are the people from Xixian County, but somehow they turned upside down! There are four to five hundred people!” Guo Jiao hurriedly greeted him. Said quickly.

“Xixian County? Isn’t that under the rule of the left Huns?! These **** gangsters!” Wu Ling said angrily, “It’s okay, I will immediately transfer my troops and stick to the county government. As long as I can hold on for a few days, the Huns are there. It should send troops to fight against this rebellious army!”

“But what if the left Huns turn up?” Guo Jiao’s voice trembled. This is not a simple rebellion, what if it is the vanguard of the Huns’ army?

“Isn’t Liu Yuan still in Yecheng? How dare the Huns on the left rebel!” Wu Ling said fiercely.

“Ah!” Guo Jiao reacted. Yes, the captain Liu Yuan of the left Huns was still next to the Chengdu king. Forgive those Huns who didn’t dare to act rashly. With a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart, Guo Jiao hurriedly said, “The city will ask Lieutenant Wu!”

Wu Ling nodded and strode out.

From afar, there was a woman’s sorrowful cry. The smell of blood filled his nose, and Lu Ge swung his machete and chopped off another head. Standing in the pool of blood, he easily wiped the viscous liquid dripping from his face and walked towards the warehouse.

This is a small Zhuangzi with only over a hundred private soldiers. It took a short half an hour before they conquered the gate and rushed in. All the males must be killed, and the women will enjoy them as they please. If there are servants willing to follow them, they will be able to escape death. Just give them wine and meat, give them women, and those stupid and cowardly men will pick up knives and guns and follow his army. In this way, his team will only fight more and more, until like Hao San, gather tens of thousands of people, gallop across the three states!

With a “clang”, the door of the warehouse was kicked open. Looking at the grain and brocades accumulated inside, Lu Ge heaved a sigh of relief: “Come here, bring all these onto the truck!”

This is what they rely on to move forward. These grains and grass, these silver coins. Several soldiers rushed in, picked up the rice bags, and happily loaded them into the cart. In addition, the hundreds of arrows and more than a dozen knives and guns piled up in the warehouse fell into their hands.

After doing the most important thing, Lu Ge walked out of the warehouse and walked along the corridor to the main hall. Along the way, some people were picking up the thick brocade clothes on the corpse, some were disheveled, carrying a knife and laughing, others carefully examined the naked corpse on the ground, took off the gold and silver jewelry from the wrist and neck, and stuffed it into a close-fitting bag. in.

Lu Ge didn’t look at them, and strode into the main hall.

“Aron, when will the dry food be ready?” Lu Ge asked.

“One more hour.” Lu Long replied loudly with a flushed face, “Chief, this time I robbed a lot of food!”

“Well, enough to eat for ten days. Can’t delay here, continue on the road after eating.” Lu Ge replied coldly without seeing any joy on his face.

“Is it necessary to fight Gaodu? Why don’t you walk a few more villages, I didn’t expect these people to have so much rice in their hands!”

“We killed Qianqichang, and the big account won’t let us go.”

The joy on Lulong’s face immediately faded: “What should I do then?”

“Grabbed the high capital, hid in the mountains, spent the winter, and then detoured to Yongzhou. The Han people are still fighting and don’t care about us.” Lu Ge understood that now that Sima Teng is not in Bingzhou, it is winter again. Less time. As long as they escape the chase of the big account, they have a chance to survive. But in this way, the winter grain looted is far from enough. Only by conquering Gaodu can we plunder enough forage.

“Listen to you!” Lulong is also convinced now. His cousin is no worse than Hao San. The Shangdang has already been in chaos once, how can we draw more troops?

“Send scouts to keep an eye on the guards of Taixing. If someone comes to rescue, kill the reinforcements first!”

“What about food and grass?”

“Send some reliable guards to guard the grain and grass, and others Qingqi assault. Those Jin troops can’t stop it.” Lu Ge showed a fierce smile on his face, “As long as the reinforcements are killed, there will be no guards in the city, and breaking the city is easy! ”

“Haha, that is! The Jin army is not as good as these private soldiers!” Lu Long also laughed, laughing heartily.

Two hours later, after eating and drinking, the blood-stained rebels stepped on their horses again and galloped towards Gaodu. The other team with gold and silver, brocade and grain squad, followed far behind.

“What are you talking about? There are insurgents going to attack Gaodu City! How many people are there in total?!” Liang Feng asked harshly, with a solemn expression.

“It is said that there are four to five hundred people, all of them are Xiongnu cavalry. The county lord ordered Lianghou to be careful.” The messenger replied quickly.

“You go down first. Luzhu, tell Yiyan to meet me in the study!”

Without hesitation, Liang Feng walked quickly to the study. The sand table in the war room has roughly taken shape. Liang Feng looked at it carefully. On the sand table, Gao Du was really close to Liang’s mansion, and it could be said to be close to each other. Now Liang Mansion has built the gates and built high walls. If there is an enemy army, it should be able to hold it. But can he let the rebels cross the border, Gaodu falls, and the people of the whole city are placed under the front of the soldiers? Will the Taixing Movement be an important pass and fall into the hands of the rebellious army?

“Lord!” Yi Yan strode into the room, “Are the rebellious soldiers coming? The strong repair of the Xinzhai gate, even if the Huns came, they would definitely not be able to attack Liang’s Mansion!”

“They are going to fight Gaodu.” Liang Feng said solemnly, “Gaodu has fallen, and Liang’s mansion is in danger.”

“Gao has defenders! They should be able to defend!” Yi Yan heard what Liang Feng said, frowning and replied.

“Assemble the trilogy as soon as possible and start preparing for the war. Send out scouts to investigate the enemy’s situation!” Liang Feng shook his head and decisively ordered, “The situation of the war is changing rapidly. You can’t wait for the enemy to come, and you must master the enemy’s situation as much as possible!”

Yi Yan just frowned, and simply nodded: “I understand what the lord means. I will send a sentry to investigate the enemy.”

“Very good.” Liang Feng nodded and looked at the sand table again. Can this Gaodu be saved or not? Four or five hundred Huns cavalry, they are not mountain bandits like chickens and dogs. Can the hundreds of people in his hands play any role in this small war?

Amidst anxiety and restlessness, a day and night passed quickly. On the second day, the dispatched horses galloped back, and the spies rolled down at Liang Feng’s feet and said anxiously: “Lord, the rebels quickly intercepted and killed the people who came to the rescue. The reinforcements were defeated and Gao was in a hurry!”
