Chapter 443 The messenger(1/2)
On this day alone, word of the changes in Rucheng County spread.
Soldiers, common people, merchants, etc. who left the county quickly spread the news.
And Xu Linzhi and others also used the banner of Ningyuan Army again, and only recruiting soldiers was more of a pretense. In fact, they did not recruit soldiers with much fanfare.
Because they have already decided their ending.
It's the next day again.
It's close to noon.
Luliang and Lu Fang led the Chaling Army to rush to the border of Chenzhou.
The army rested here.
The soldiers ate dry food to satisfy their hunger, and even Luliang was no exception.
Of course Lu Fang had a lot of things to take out to satisfy his hunger, but seeing that everyone was eating dry food, it was obviously inconvenient for him to take out braised eggs, convenience foods and other fast foods.
The main reason is that this small Versailles can't earn much hatred value from the Chaling Army soldiers now.
Their patience with Lu Fang had reached a certain level, probably because they believed in their hearts that this guy was already shameless and would not easily get angry with him again.
Are you immune to Lu Fang?
"drive!"
"Drive!"
Several fast horses galloped from the corner of the official road.
The knight on horseback has five triangular black flags tied to his back.
The leader has a crimson flag with the words "eight hundred" inlaid on his back.
Messenger!
Eight hundred miles urgent!
The officers and soldiers of the Chaling Army, which stretched for a long distance beside the official road, couldn't help but look at this group of messengers.
The same is true for Lu Liang, Lu Fang and others.
Lu Liang frowned slightly.
This group of messenger soldiers also saw the Chaling Army's banner. When they were about to pass by, the leading knight suddenly reined in his horse and said, "Hey!"
Then he got off his horse and asked the crowd: "But the Chaling Army officers?"
The general holding the big banner, whose arm strength was the best among the Chaling army, had a voice like a bell, and he replied in a muffled voice: "Exactly!"
The leading knight's face showed joy and he hurriedly turned over and dismounted.
The same goes for the knights behind him.
Then he said to the general holding the big banner: "Is the general of the army here?"
The general holding the big banner looked at Lu Liang, "This is our new recruiter of Jingnan County, Mr. Lu."
With Lu Liang here, Yang Mao would naturally no longer be the commander-in-chief.
Lu Liang stood up slowly, "What's the matter?"
The messengers rushed to him one after another. The leader knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Majesty, we are the garrison of Chenzhou! We are here to ask for help from you on the orders of Mr. Zhizhou. Within the territory of Chenzhou
There was a rebellion in Rucheng County. Xu Linzhi, the commander of the former Ningyuan Army, raised more than a thousand troops to rebel and captured the Rucheng County seat and Yanshou Yinkeng yesterday! Chenzhou has insufficient troops, please provide assistance as soon as possible!"
When Lu Liang heard this, his face suddenly turned pale.
Lu Fang couldn't help but look surprised.
The commander of the Ningyuan Army in the former dynasty?
What a remnant of the previous dynasty!
He actually raised troops to rebel at this time.
Doesn't he know that Lu Liang is also a remnant of the previous dynasty?
Isn't this putting Lu Liang on the fire?
"Please send me your support as soon as possible, sir!"
The leading messenger soldier saw Lu Liang in a daze and felt a little confused, but he only thought that Lu Liang was shocked by the news and spoke again.
It is said that when the governor of Chenzhou heard the news, his face turned pale with fright and he almost fainted.
"I know this and will rush to Rucheng County as soon as possible."
Lu Liang nodded with a complex expression and said.
"Then I'll go back and report to Lord Zhizhou right now!"
The leading messenger stood up, led the rest of the messengers and ran over there, then mounted their horses and whipped away.
Lu Liang slowly sat down again.
Yang Mao and others all looked at him.
Lu Liang said: "Transmit the order! The light and heavy cavalry of the army will set off with me in a quarter of an hour and rush to Rucheng first! The rest of the infantry and baggage, led by General Yang, rushed to Rucheng County as quickly as possible to join the vanguard army.
!”
"this……"
Yang Mao was stunned for a moment and said: "Sir, the total number of light and heavy cavalry in our Chaling Army is only a thousand. If we want to capture Rucheng with such a force..."
His face was also full of solemnity.
The rebels actually captured Rucheng County, which was a big deal.
Suddenly, I felt a little lucky that Lu Liang had become the messenger, otherwise, this job would have fallen on Yang Mao.
After all, their Chaling Army is the Green Forest Camp closest to Rucheng.
There is no Green Forest Camp in Chenzhou.
Before Lu Liang went to the Chaling Army to rectify military discipline, he naturally had an idea of the virtues of their Chaling Army officers.
Suppress bandits?
Maybe it can work.
But trying to wipe out the rebel army led by Xu Linzhi, the former commander of the Ningyuan Army, is probably a fool's errand.
How many levels does he have to be inferior to Xu Linzhi?
Xu Linzhi was also a famous general in Xiguang, Jingnan and other counties before.
Lu Liang said solemnly: "No matter whether we can win or not, rushing to Rucheng first can always deter these rebels and prevent them from continuing to grow and develop!"
"yes!"
When Yang Mao heard what Lu Liang said, he said nothing more.
"Solicit the envoy!"
"The light and heavy cavalry will be ready within a quarter of an hour, and the envoys will rush to Rucheng first!"
"The rest of the people, please listen to the commander-in-chief's orders!"
"Solicit the envoy!"
"..."
There were messengers on horseback riding towards both ends of the long resting team, shouting loudly.
Many people showed doubts.
"Brother, can we have a few words?"
Lu Fang stood up and took Lu Liang to a remote place.
Lao Xiao also got up and followed.
Yang Mao, Han Feihong and others looked at it without thinking much. They just thought that Lu Fang wanted to discuss countermeasures with Lu Liang.
Of course, we were originally discussing countermeasures. But they were not just countermeasures on how to recapture Rucheng County.
Arriving a little further away from where the soldiers were resting, Lu Fang directly asked Lu Liang, who had a solemn expression on his face: "How could this happen? Doesn't Xu Linzhi know our details?"
A bright light flashed deep in Lu Liang's eyes, and he shook his head, "I don't know either."
Lu Fang asked again: "What should we do if we go to Rucheng County? Find a way to get in touch with them first?"
"I'm afraid it's inappropriate..."
At this time, Lao Xiao suddenly spoke and said: "Xu Linzhi and the others have become a rebellious army and their true identity has been exposed. With Liang Hanmin's attitude towards the martyrs of the previous dynasty, he would never allow us to recruit them. Even if we let them run away.
, will also be punished.”
"Then we can only take action against them?"
Lu Fangdao.
