Chapter 273

Not long after Li daozong left, several shuttle boats came sliding on the river. It was Qin mubai who sent sentries to Jiangbei that came back. Aboard the ship were several hundred soldiers. Although the Li you rebels in Jiangbei also imposed blockade and martial law along the river, for the capable soldiers of Baiqi, such a line of defense is simply a thousand creations. It's very easy to infiltrate and find out the military situation.

The news that the three sentinels brought back was almost the same, which proved the reliability of the military intelligence, and was one of the reasons why Qin mubai had arranged this arrangement.

When the two armies are at war, it is of course the first task to know yourself and the other.

The sentinel reported that in a few days, Li you led more than 2000 Dengzhou soldiers under his command to rebel. Then, almost overnight, all the local officials under his rule were trapped. Coercion and inducement force them to rebel. Then, he appointed Yin Hongzhi as commander Shi (equivalent to a military adviser), took min Junmo and Liang mengbiao as generals, and led his troops to sweep seven counties under Dengzhou, such as Yan County, Nanyang, Xinye, Xiangcheng, lintuan, Neixiang and Jutan. He opened the government treasury to collect money and grain, collected weapons, bought chariots and horses, and recruited vagrant villains to join the rebellion.

Within a few days, Dengzhou ruled a territory of hundreds of miles, and suddenly hell. Most of the so-called "armies" led by people like Liang mengbiao and min Junmo are market hooligans and scoundrels. What good can they do? They robbed Treasuries, plundered treasures, killed and abused officials, robbed official seals and self appointed official posts, robbed common people, robbed food and animals, and captured a large group of brothels or good family women, who were sent to the army for military school's entertainment, and showed their evils day and night.

Under the pressure of high price recruitment and coercion, the Dengzhou rebels rapidly expanded to 30000 in a few days. They made their own banners and made up the army, and imitated the military system of the Tang Dynasty. They formed the three guards of "longyi", "Huben" and "Shenshu". They were led by Liang mengbiao, min Junmo and Li you.

The sentinel also reported that Yin Hongzhi and others urged Li you to claim the title of emperor himself to compete with Chang'an, but Li you did not, still calling himself "king of Qi". Later, in order to persuade Yin Hongzhi and others to use the official system of the eastern palace to "add officials to the throne", what kind of Prince, Taibao, Prince and Taishi Whatever.

Qin mubai sneered after hearing these returns: what a clown!

According to the military intelligence report, two days ago, the puppet General Liang mengbiao led 3000 puppet troops to occupy the naval port in Xinye County, Dengzhou, and prepared more than 30 warships. Along the river, arrow towers and beacon towers are all over the place, and the guard is extremely strict, ready to fight.

"Further exploration -" Qin Mu gave an order and sat down again.

When Pang Fei and others saw that Qin mubai did not move at all, they could not restrain their long repressed warlike mood. They asked one after another: "general, the puppet General Liang mengbiao is just a hooligan in the Jianghu. Where can he fight? Why don't we go across the river and level Xinye military harbor and kill him in one go! "

"What a hurry." Qin mubai said faintly, "separated by a river, it's just a mob. How can we stop our army? Liang mengbiao that clown, I disdain to crush him, afraid of dirty hands. Wait a little longer! "

"What is the general waiting for?" Pang Fei asked softly.

The corners of Qin Mu Bai's mouth gently lifted up a trace of fine lines and said, "you'll know right away."

After an hour or so, a fast horse from the governor's office galloped in. It was reported that the king of Wu asked general Qin mubai to return to his office to receive the imperial edict.

As expected!

Without saying a word, Qin mubai came to the assassin's palace with several minions.

The imperial envoy came so quickly that it was only seven or eight days before Li Ke wrote. It is enough to prove that the emperor paid attention to this matter. Moreover, the imperial envoy is not a small figure. Chu suiliang, a former living servant and now a poet in Chinese calligraphy, is the emperor's confidant secretary!

He was also an old acquaintance of Li Ke and Qin mubai. He had been involved in the Jiangzhou case before.

When they arrived at the assassin's palace, the officials of different sizes stood in two rows on both sides of the main hall, looking back at Qin mubai's march into the palace. Li Ke, dressed in a deer robe in purple, was waiting for Qin mubai to receive the order.

Chu suiliang looked at Qin mubai with solemn eyes and said, "general Qin is coming. The official will announce the decree immediately."

"Chu Zhongshu, please wait a moment." Qin mubai stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty has made it clear that you want to take orders with the king of Wu?"

"Yes." Chu suiliang's simple and affirmative answer.

"Then it will be accepted." Qin mubai said that and saluted with one knee clasping his fist. Li Ke opened his front robe and bowed down on his knees. All the officials in the hall followed suit.

"Li Ke delivered the state affairs, and Quan Wanji acted as the governor of Xiangzhou, and immediately went to Beijing to meet the emperor. Qin mubai, the army of dunsu, protected the territory and the people, and must not act rashly. Thank you very much

Chu suiliang read out the imperial edict in two sentences.

Li Ke and Qin mubai look at each other. Their faces are tight at the same time, but they haven't answered for a long time. Quan Wanji behind him said: "Your Highness, general Qin, get the order quickly!"

"The last general, dare not take orders!" Qin mubai suddenly said in a loud voice.

"What did you say?" Chu suiliang was surprised and asked.

"Your Highness, take it! The generals will be out, but they will not be subject to military orders. The last general dare not take orders! " Qin mubai stood up, words sonorous, Hong Hun powerful said.All the people in the hall were startled, and they all looked at him in panic and widened their eyes.

Chu suiliang was calm. He slowly closed the imperial edict and handed it to Li Ke. He said, "is your Highness the king of Wu willing to accept the edict?"

"Weichen, take orders." Li Ke took the imperial edict in both hands, stood up, looked at Qin mubai, and said in a deep voice, "Qin mubai, do you know what you are doing?"

"I know. At the end of the war, it will be against the imperial edict. " Qin mubai said calmly, "Your Majesty is thousands of miles away. He doesn't know the military situation of Xiangzhou, so he strictly orders the general not to move. But at the end of the day, you can go to the river and have a look. Chen Zhou, the enemy puppet army, may cross the river at any time. Do you want me to be a turtle with more than 2000 hot blooded men to be slaughtered? Sorry, I can't do it! "

Chu Sui Liang frowned again and said, "if the enemy and puppet forces attack across the river, they will fight back at the right time. They belong to fan Chou who protects the territory and the people. Naturally, they will not blame the general. General Qin, you'd better take the order! "

"If you don't answer, you don't answer." Qin mubai resolutely finished, took out a military memorial from his chest pocket and threw it to Chu suiliang, saying, "Chu Zhongshu, please see for yourself what the enemy and puppet forces have done in Dengzhou. Burning, killing, robbing, raping, raping women, doing all kinds of evil! If we want someone in Qin to watch a play across the river and watch the enemy puppet army so domineering and oppressing the good, we can't do it! "

Chu suiliang opened the military newspaper in surprise, looked at it, took a cold breath, and said: "I can't believe that Li you did this! He is also the prince of the Tang Dynasty. He is all his own people. How can he feel

"Hum!" Qin mubai sneered, "if he knew human relations, he would not have done what he did today. The so-called generals he appointed are all some hooligans and villains. What good things can these people do? Qin full thought that his majesty will come to the decree text, life will cross the river to fight against thieves, who ever thought that will be the end of the turtle! Even if the end will be able to cold heart cold face who see no see, the end of the general's officers and men, will not agree! Many of the people on the other side are relatives and compatriots of Xiangzhou people. The whole army has been full of enthusiasm for war. If you have the heart to go on, you will be worried, and the army will mutiny! "

Chu Sui Liang took a deep breath and said, "general Qin has said so many reasons, but he has only one purpose - you have to fight against the order. Is that right? "

Qin Mu Bai gently grinned: "Chu Zhongshu is a smart man, you can guess right. It's just a pity that we haven't prepared any prizes for you. The military situation is so hot that we don't have time to fight with you. Goodbye

"Slow!" Chu suiliang gave a loud shout, stepped forward a few steps, stood between Li Ke and Qin mubai, and said, "Your Highness, you should persuade general Qin. General Qin, you should also know, what are the consequences of your doing so? "

"There is no subordination between the governor and the Duwei. The king has no right to give orders to general Qin. " Li Ke said faintly, "and How can I dissuade general Qin after he has packed up for the capital

"You!..." Chu suiliang met a soft nail and then laughed bitterly. He already knew that they had planned for each other. People in the eaves, how can not bow? Even if he was an imperial envoy, but now the emperor's orders can't stop Qin mubai. Chu suiliang has a mouth. What can he do to stop Qin mubai?

"It seems that it is useless for me to say more." He shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "general Qin, you should do it yourself. I will report everything truthfully to the emperor. "

"Very good." Qin mubai looked at Chu suiliang, nodded his head, and said, "the two armies are about to fight, and the rivers and land routes are all impassable. If his royal highness wants to go to Beijing, he has to wait three or five days to avoid the disaster of being attacked by soldiers. I'm going to say that. Goodbye

Having said that, Qin mubai, just like when he came here, strode away with flowing clouds and flying robes.

"Ah..." Chu suiliang looked at Qin mubai's back and shook his head with a bitter smile.

Li Ke took the imperial edict, walked up to him and asked in a low voice, "why does Chu Zhongshu smile and sigh bitterly?"

"Nothing." Chu Sui Liang shook his head with a smile and said, "Chu is just sighing. When did he become so ignorant of current affairs?"

Li Ke also laughed: "why did you say that, sir?"

Chu Sui Liang looked around at the officials in the hall, and shook his head with a smile: "just don't say it! Since it's inconvenient to leave now, I'd better ask his Royal Highness the king of Wu to arrange a good place. Let's just climb up and look at Qin mubai's fierce water battle. "

"Good! That's what I want

Qin mubai had just left the assassin's palace. He gave an order to his entourage: "hold my seal, go back quickly and give the military order - clean up the whole army, board the ship and prepare for battle!"

"No!" The pawn took the seal letter and rode away.

"Hum!..." Qin mubai snorted heavily, and said in secret: it's time to vent the resentment that has been suppressed for many days!

Take me ling'er and trap me in injustice Yin Hongzhi, you must die!

Li you. You will certainly pay for your own fickleness and stupidity!

Qin mubai clenched the handle of the "Guiyi Dao" at his waist and said: compassion for the enemy is cruelty to himself. Since it's killing, it's time to be decisive. I have to be ruthless Linger, forgive me!When he returned to the military harbor, Pang Fei, who had received the military order, had already ordered the whole army to send 2400 soldiers to board ten Shenyu spaceships.

Eight hundred white wave water troops and four hundred elite Chinese troops. One thousand regiment bows and crossbows and infantry swordsmen, clean up and stand by.

As soon as Qin mubai's horse stopped at the port, more than 2000 people of the whole army chanted in unison: "please command the general to cross the river to attack the thieves!"

Its potential is majestic and its power is overwhelming!

"Good! ——”Qin mubai let out a loud shout. He stepped up to the flagship armour, stood in the bow of the ship, pulled out his sword and pointed forward -

"give me the order, the water army will pull out and kill the enemy!"

"Woo - woo!"

Eight long metal horns of one person's length were set on the sergeant's shoulders and blew upward. The sound vibrates a hundred miles. The flagman played the flag, the drums of the five naval warships of the former army were noisy, and the flag was flying. The huge and majestic Shenyu spaceship advanced with chopping waves, stirring up thousands of angry waves in the water of the Han River!

Li Ke and Chu suiliang look out side by side at the ferry Lighthouse of baguidu. Although it was several miles away, it was also shocked by the sound of the drum horn shaking the sky.

"It's really magnificent to be able to take the lead with just two thousand troops." Chu Sui Liang could not help sighing, "look at that ship's progress, grand military prestige, high morale, Qin Mu Bai. He is really a good general! "

"Why do you say that?" Li Ke turned his lips and said jealously, "even the old king of Jiangxia in the army said the same thing. Qin mubai, a boy who has never led a war, what can he do? "

"Ha ha!" Chu suiliang laughed, "in the past, Jiangdong zhoulang was in charge of the army. Didn't he lead the army since he was born?"

"Can he be compared with Zhou Yu?" Li Ke sneered, "at least, Zhou Yu has Xiao Qiao. He didn't! "

"King Wu is a real joker." Chu Sui Liang said with a smile, "general Qin, this is not just a rage at Chong Guan, to save his little Joe?"

"Really, really." Li Ke nodded, scolded and said, "this boy is obsessed with color. Fighting against the imperial edict, he also wants to show his courage and go to the hero to save the beauty. "

Chu suiliang, of course, knew that Li Ke was deliberately putting on airs, so he shook his head with a wry smile and sighed: "this is the water of the Han River. How deep it is

"I don't know about that book." Li Ke said solemnly, "I can't swim. I've never been in the water."

"Look - there's a fight!" Chu suiliang raised his hand, and the two of them concentrated on looking forward.

At this time, the five Shenyu spaceships were arrow shaped and had already rushed to the enemy puppet army water village on the other side. Liang mengbiao had already begun to take precautions. He was quite decent when he was equipped with ships to pull the arrow tower of the water stronghold. In front of the naval port of Xinye water army, he built a water stronghold stretching for three or five miles, with more than ten arrow towers. The gate was pulled up and more than ten warships of different sizes rushed out. Beat the drum and shout out, shooting arrows at Shenyu spaceship.

However, this level of attack, in the face of the city wall tank like Shenyu spaceship, is like tickling. Among these so-called enemy and puppet "water forces", the most powerful are some idle men who can swim. How can they shoot well if they have a stupid strength? A lot of arrows have not yet flew to the deck of Shenyu spaceship, they wilt down.

Pang Fei on the first flagship grinned and waved the flag in his hand: "the whole army will listen to the order - launch rockets!"

Hundreds of white wave water troops set up strong bows and crossbows in order. It's going up 45 degrees and it's going up in the air.

All of a sudden, Mars arrowhead like a torrential rain and gale. As in the night, half the sky suddenly opened a fireworks, the enemy warships completely shrouded in it!

"Ah!! ——”Originally, the enemy and puppet forces were already afraid when they saw such a huge warship. If they were not afraid of being beheaded by Liang mengbiao, few people would dare to rush out of the water stronghold to fight. Now the fire arrow of this shop tiangai comes, where is the heart of war. At this time, the world's most bitter, it is her!
