Chapter 369: Siege

Three armies marched straight to the capital.

The army led by Dong Xian was dragged into Huichuan and had no time to turn back.

What Xiao Cheng wants is for Black Tiger to take out his heart.

As the governor of Guiyang Road, Yang Wanfu personally led his troops here in order to coordinate and unify the command of the Tianying Army and the Tianyi Army.

In the past few years, Xiao Cheng had been thinking hard about how to mess up Dali, how to destroy Dali's economy, and how to force Dong Xian, who was in power, to drink doves to quench his thirst.

But now, when he had the victory in hand, he was thinking about something else.

End the war as quickly as possible.

Use the fastest speed to restore order to Dali, his Caiyun South.

Restore the economy as quickly as possible.

If you want to do the first thing, what can make a country collapse faster than directly killing other people's capitals?

A crack was opened in the thick leaves on the shore, revealing two faces. They looked at the river with some horror at the huge fleet of boats that could not be seen moving up the river almost end to end.

The river at this moment was not very wide, and they could even see the appearance of the soldiers on the boat and hear the laughter of the soldiers on the boat.

The colorful flags planted on the boat almost dazzled their eyes.

The two people squirmed back quietly like insects, not daring to make any noise.

The Song soldiers on the boat were all carrying bows and arrows on their backs. When they discovered it, a hail of arrows rained down, and the two of them were afraid that they would go to the west.

It wasn't until they were far away from the river bank that the two of them straightened up and ran along the trail towards the mountain.

The big river was blocked by the mountains here and turned a big bend. There was also a small river connected to the big river in the mountains.

It's just that the water in one is rough and turbid, while the other is crystal clear.

The two of them walked up the trail. After walking for about half an hour, some simple thatched huts appeared one after another in front of them. There were men on guard with swords and guns. When they saw the two of them, they waved and said hello.

.

Continuing forward, I saw some half-year-old children and old people setting up nets to catch fish in the river.

They don't even have fishing nets.

Tie two long bamboo poles together at the midpoint to form a cross shape, and then tie tree vines to the ends. The following is also a rope net woven with tree vines. Finally, tie this cross net to a longer

Put it on the bamboo pole and put it into the river. After a while, I and the child worked together to pull up the big net. Under normal circumstances, more or less fish were caught.

The mesh of the rope net is as big as a child's fist. Under normal circumstances, small fish and shrimps can get out, but they cannot fish in the water. Even in such a situation, the old people still abide by the ancient rules.

.

There are women carrying bamboo baskets on their backs to eat wild fruits or pick up fungi. Some of them are agile and can climb to the top of the tree in a few clicks and pick hard-to-get wild fruits and put them into baskets on their backs.

.

Occasionally, someone picks up some eggs laid by wild birds and screams happily.

After passing through a large forest, the two men saw their destination, a large camp consisting of thatched houses.

At this moment, smoke is rising.

In the middle of the camp, a dozen huge iron pots were preparing meals for everyone in the camp.

The first meal of the day.

A man looked into the pot and saw the same glistening porridge as before. A woman was holding a large handful of washed vegetables and other things and throwing them into it.

There are thousands of people in the whole camp, and with only a dozen large pots of food, if one person can share a bowl of porridge, it can only save his life.

There will be another meal in the evening, but not everyone will eat it tonight.

The two quickly jumped over the cauldrons and plunged into one of the huts.

"Did you see clearly, it's the army of the Song Dynasty?" A big man stared at his two panting men with wide eyes.

"How could I be wrong? I am only a few dozen steps away from them at most, and I don't even dare to breathe!" A man said proudly: "There are dozens of big ships, and countless small boats. I think some of the big ships are

It must be filled with food."

"There are nearly twenty horse posts, so there are at least three thousand people!" The man turned his head and said to another person on the opposite side.

The two leaders are both tall and tall, but at this moment, they are both so thin that they have only a skeleton, with high cheekbones, and their clothes look empty even if they are tied with ropes.

"What does it say on the flag?" asked another leader.

It is very rare that one of the two spies can actually read.

"In addition to the Song Dynasty, there are also flags with Yang characters. In addition, there are also flags with words such as "cuo" and "inscriptions" written on them!"

"Fubiao's soldiers?" The other leader was obviously more familiar with the Song Army's system on Guiyang Road. Hearing these words, he was horrified. "What are Fubiao's soldiers?"

"They are the personal troops of Xiao Cheng, the pacifier of Guiyang Road. It seems that Yang Ziqi is the commander of Yang Wanfu in Guiyang Road."

The two leaders waved their hands and signaled the two spies to retreat.

"Brother Ma, it seems that Dali is really going to end. Futai soldiers have been dispatched on the road to Guiyang. It looks like they are heading straight to the capital."

This is a team of bandits who have become bandits. There are thousands of people, but they are the most powerful within a hundred miles of Fangyuan. Because in today's world, thousands of people can still gather together alive.

It's a skill.

The leader, Ma Yue, was born a hunter, and the second leader, Ai Jin, was once a businessman.

"With three thousand people, you just want to capture the capital. Are you dreaming?" Ma Yue did not believe Ai Jin's judgment. He had been to Shanchan City. Standing on the tall city wall, he could hardly breathe.

I'm angry.

"How can there be only three thousand people!" Ai Jin looked very knowledgeable. "Then Yang Wanfu is a high-ranking official on Guiyang Road, who specializes in managing the army. Normally, when fighting on Guiyang Road, he would not show up at all.

They are all those who supervise, control, general and so on. Once this person comes forward, it means that he has to command many troops. Because everyone in each army is not convinced by each other, a big leader is needed to command.

Well!"

"That's right!" Ma Yue nodded repeatedly: "So, our Dali is really finished this time. Isn't Dong Guoxiang on the front line still fighting?"

"What the hell! We must have suffered a huge defeat, otherwise, the Song army would have come to us all at once!" Ai Jin snorted.

"Second brother, tell me, what should we do now?"

"Brother Ma, if you want to listen to me, we will join the Song Army." Ai Jin whispered: "Even if we drink gruel every day, our food will not last more than a few days. We must survive. The Song Army

Although the situation is strong, we are not familiar with the place after all, so we definitely need a guide to lead the way and someone who is familiar with the local people. In this way, at least we can get food to keep everyone alive."

"Second brother, you used to do business and often traveled between the two sides. Do you think the Guiyang side really gave the people free land?" Ma Yue asked.

"Of course, these things are not secrets. You can find out about them on Guiyang Road!" Ai Jin said. "Brother Ma, if we really let Xiao Futai take charge of us, we don't know how many acres of land each of us can live on.

"

"Is there such an official in the world? Don't you share your anger with those rich people?" Ma Ge seemed to have suffered a lot in the past.

"Of course there is." Ai Jin affirmed: "Brother Ma, let me tell you the truth, if you are not willing to go with me, I originally made up my mind to go."

Ma Yue swallowed his saliva and said, "Go, why don't you go. Not to mention dividing the land in the future, right now, if you can give me some food to keep these people alive, I am willing to join them."

"That's good, I'll go down the mountain and contact them."

Ma Yue nodded and sighed: "Son of a bitch, when Gao Xiangguo was in charge of the country, we could barely survive. Now that someone with the surname Dong has changed, we can't even survive."

"I heard that General Gao Yingxiang also defected to the Song Army. We might meet again in the future."

"Forget it, those are big shots, we don't need to provoke them." Brother Ma waved his hand: "If we get close to these people, if anything happens, we will always die first. Now, I just want to give those brothers outside

Let's get some food together, and if we can get some land in the future, it will be a great blessing."

Yang Wanfu probably never expected that before he even got off the ship, someone from Zhiqiuyuan would already be looking for him.

"I've seen Du Qianha!" Xizuo's face was filled with joy, "The last time I fought with you was seven years ago!"

"Have you ever fought with me?" Yang Wanfu looked at the carefully crafted nameplate in his hand with a look of surprise on his face.

"Xiaguan's name is Ai Jin." Ai Jin said: "When we fought against Dushan, I followed you. But at that time, Lu, Xiaguan was just a pawn. I recognized you, but you didn't recognize me.

"

Yang Wanfu laughed, but his expression was much more affectionate than before.

Ordinary meticulous work and meticulous work that was once one's own subordinates are naturally two different things.

"Why did you do this later?" He patted his side and motioned for Ai Jin to sit down.

"After we established ourselves in Dushan, Futai selected a group of people for training." Ai Jin smiled and said, "Xiaguan was selected because he knew some words. Three years ago he arrived again.

Dali."

"This line of work is difficult and dangerous!" Yang Wanfu said.

"I'm used to it." Ai Jin said, "But the director also promised that after doing this, my identity will be bleached and I can turn to the bright side."

"You can become enlightened now." Yang Wanfu said with a smile.

Before even setting foot ashore, in Dali, the results of these years of hard work by the craftsmen under Zhiqiuyuan have already appeared.

One after another, small troops began to gather.

Some of them were controlled by agents like Ai Jin, while others simply came to seek refuge after hearing the news. Their requests were very simple, just give them some food.

A considerable number of these people already possess some basic military qualities. For these people, Yang Wanfu directly organized them into the army as vanguards.

As for the other old, weak, women, children and children, food was immediately distributed so that they could go back and wait for the end of the war.

As for the division of land after the war that many people were looking forward to, Yang Wanfu generously made his promise. In order to reassure some leaders, he even wrote the note himself and stamped it with his own seal.

The bright red seal gave these leaders the greatest comfort.

And Yang Wanfu was just a favor.

This kind of thing is a policy in Guiyang Road. Even if he doesn't promise, he will still have to do it afterwards.

Now, not only can these people feel at ease, but I can also gain popularity, which really kills two birds with one stone.

When he disembarked from the ship, Yang Wanfu only had more than 3,000 troops. By the time he reorganized the army and marched towards Shanchan City, his number had increased to more than 10,000.

No wonder Xiao Cheng allocated so many ships and packed extra food when setting out. It turned out that he had expected this day.

Jiang Xiong can only serve as the captain of the transportation team now. After unloading the cargo, he can only sail back. He has to rush back to get the next shipment of grain and fodder.

Now in Dali, it is really not easy to find enough food.

Five days later, Yang Wanfu's banner appeared thirty miles away from Shanchan City.

At the same time, the commander of the Sky Eagle Army led by Yue Teng appeared in the northwest of Shanchan City. Yue Teng's troops also increased from 3,000 to 4,000. This was because he was able to escape more surrenders.

The reason why the infantry is approaching here quickly. Now, Gu is taking these subdued soldiers to transport food and grass for them!

In Lanxi County, Gu Zheng made a lot of gains.

As for Long Cang, the governor of Lanxi County who surrendered, he has been escorted to Guiyang with his family to meet Xiao Cheng.

Among the three routes, the Tianyi Army that was closest to Shanchan Mansion came a little later and did not arrive on the agreed date. This made Yang Wanfu very dissatisfied. The messy things along the route were obviously delayed.

Compared with the Tianyi Army's itinerary, Yue Teng was much more capable. Because Yue Teng knew very well that he would be in bad luck if he did not arrive within the stipulated time.

The Tian family's army has still not been fully integrated into the entire Guiyang Road system. If this continues, they will be eliminated sooner or later. Now, they are gradually marginalized, and they don't know how to wake up. If Futai is not a

For those who miss their old relationship, the Tian family's situation is now even more unbearable.

Love is a thing that should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Every time you use it, you lose one.

Now the friendship that the Tian family accumulated with Futai in the early days is being exhausted bit by bit during Futai's vigorous reform of Guiyang Road.

Yang Wanfu sent a stern order, requiring Tian Zhen to arrive at the designated location within three days.
