Seven hundred and fiftieth chapters Yangju city
Day 3.
The Zhongshi caught up with the cavalry, but was blocked by the heavy rain.
The deputy general manager beside him looked at the rain and fog not far away and said, "General manager, this has been scared for four days. According to the investigation, it will take the second half of the month in previous years."
Mr. Zhong sat on the horse, his face remained motionless, looking at the rain and the sky.
The deputy general manager beside him saw that Shizhong did not speak and said, "General manager, it is not very easy to detour. According to the information from the detective, other routes will take a long time to go around and then arrive, and it is very likely to be exposed."
Mr. Zhong looked quietly for a while and suddenly said, "This rain is good."
The deputy general manager was stunned and said, "General manager, this rain blocks our way, how could it be good?"
What cavalry fear most is this kind of thing. In the heavy rain, the cavalry cannot run, which is equivalent to being slaughtered.
Zhong Shizhong smiled and said, "You can't even feel that you can't march in this kind of weather, so who can think of it?"
The deputy general manager quickly understood and looked shocked, saying, "General manager, do you want to walk through the rain?"
Zhong Shizhong looked firm, took out the map, looked carefully for a while, and said, "Let the soldiers bring enough rations and divide the troops. You can walk as fast as you can, gather in this valley twenty miles away from Yangzhumei City."
The deputy general manager was a little worried and said, "General manager, if the troops are divided, the risk will be greater. Once exposed, we may be wiped out!"
They were going deep into the hinterland of Dali and acted in division of their troops. Once exposed, they would never be able to escape. They did not expect to defeat the Gao army, and they would have to be wiped out in one way.
Mr. Zhong said: "It was originally a risky move. If we succeed, we can suddenly appear under Yangzhumei City!"
The deputy general manager wanted to say something else, but Mr. Zhong raised his hand and said, "It's settled, I'll bear the consequences."
Although the deputy general manager and Zhong Shizhong had the word "deputy" added, their status was actually very different. At least, he was not qualified to be summoned by the government.
Zhong Shizhong decided on a marching strategy and was quickly implemented.
The seven thousand cavalrymen were scattered, looking for the most suitable one after another, walking through the rain at the fastest speed, and their target was Yangzhumei City.
After one stick of incense.
Master Zhong rode his horse and was struggling with the rain, trekking hard on the muddy trail.
At this moment, his face was as deep as water, and he felt a little worried in his heart.
Even if they changed their clothes from Dali and walked in a remote place, they were still very likely to be discovered.
But he did not stop, nor did he give up, and he still led his people forward step by step.
Behind them, although Zhao Si marched at the fastest speed, he was a foot, and was far inferior to the cavalry.
He had already received a situation where the cavalry was blocked by heavy rain. He rode his horse with a look of a look, and there was Tong Guan, who was also riding a horse beside him.
"Tong Guan, what should you do now?" Zhao Si asked without squinting.
Tong Guan was a little embarrassed, and after hearing this, he thought, "Your Highness, the villain believes that General Manager Zhong's strategy is right, or even the only way. Now, there is no other way except to give it a try."
Zhao Si held the horse rope with both hands and said, "I know that if you hesitate or change it one after another, you will probably fail. Now, I hope their strategy will work."
Tong Guan smiled and comforted, "Your Highness, don't worry, my great Song Dynasty is powerful. If the General Manager Zhong suddenly appears under Yangzhumei City and Duan's words are spoken, then the Gao family and Dali Kingdom will inevitably be frightened. In a short period of time, you will never be able to do anything. Wait until your highness's army arrives, just Yangzhumei City can be determined with a wave of your hand."
Zhao Si's face showed an excited look and nodded with a heavy emphasis.
Seeing this, Tong Guan's eyes flashed with smiles.
After spending time with this little prince, he already knows very well and knows how to talk to him.
Time passed little by little, and Zhao Xu from Quanzhou Prefecture had already walked through Quanzhou Prefecture and Quanzhou Wharf, and even reviewed the memorials accumulated after half a month.
Three days later.
Wanghai Tower.
Zhao Xu ate the jealous mandarin fish, took a few bites, put down the chopsticks, shook his head and said, "It's tasteless..."
Meiren Liu was having a happy meal and asked quickly: "Is the official family not suitable for their appetite? I will make it for the official family.":.
As Liu Meiren said, she was about to get up.
Zhao Xu waved his hand, looked at Nanfang, and said, "You eat yours."
Meiren Liu was still looking at Zhao Xu and said, "Then, I made a pot of tea for the official family. The official family likes to drink tea the most on weekdays."
Zhao Xu nodded casually, stood up, came to the railing, and watched quietly.
Chen Pi looked at the somewhat happy back of Meiren Liu and shook her head secretly.
The difference between this beautiful woman Liu and Empress Meng is not a little bit. If Empress Meng were here, she would never do these things that would cause trouble to the officials.
"Is there no news yet?" Zhao Xu asked.
Chenpi followed and said, "Not yet. The Thirteenth Palace has come down to a few letters, but there is no one in the head of the Zong."
Zhao Xu patted the railings and felt depressed.
It was unexpected that heavy rain suddenly occurred, and no one could predict it. The response of Master Zhong was not a problem.
But, what is going on now?
When Zhao Xu was feeling emotion, there was a valley outside Yangzhumei City.
Master Zhong is counting people.
After a while, the deputy general manager ran over and said, "The total number is 5,600, and the total number is 5,000 horses."
The Master Zhong breathed a little relieved and said, "It's okay, it's enough."
The deputy general manager was a little worried and said, "The general manager, is there a little 5,000 people? According to the information of the Imperial City Department, there are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Yangzhumei City."
Mr. Zhong shook his head and said, "We do not attack the city. We are obeying the laws of heaven and practicing great righteousness. We can stand the rightfulness, let alone Duan."
The deputy general manager thought for a while and said, "Then, do you have to find a way to get that branch of Zhengchun out?"
Mr. Zhong wiped his face and said, "No, Gao usurped the throne, everyone in Dali knows that it doesn't matter where Duan is. Tell your brothers, eat and drink enough and have a good rest. We will send troops to Yangzhumeicheng early tomorrow morning!"
"The last general will take the order!" The deputy general responded in a deep voice.
At the order of the Zhong Shizhong, five thousand cavalrymen began to rest, eat and drink, and then began to sleep.
They had been trekking for several days and finally had a good sleep.
At this moment, Zhao Si had already led his army to enter the borders of Dali. Even though Dali was not on defense, he did not cover up like a cavalry, but directly attacked the banner of "attacking the Gao family and supporting the Duan family".
At this time, Yangzhumei City was as peaceful as usual and prosperous as ever.
Although the Gao family usurped the throne, it seemed that they did not cause much trouble in Dali. The army that served the king was a little far away from here.
Yangzhumeicheng did not seem to have any intense reaction to Gao's usurpation of the throne.
In the palace.
Because Gao Shengtai was seriously ill, the palace was filled with a tense atmosphere.
Gao Shengtai was in power over Dali, but the reputation of usurping the throne was not justified. Duan's family had been in power for hundreds of years. When Gao Shengtai died, his descendants did not have his prestige and ability. Dali was likely to experience fierce civil strife, and the Gao family was very likely to usher in a catastrophe!
