Chapter 632 Chaos
After a moment, Ma Zhongzhe returned. Huang Qing took the talisman letter, the official document, carefully packed up, and said goodbye to Lei Yuan.
Yan Pu watched Huang Qing cross the second gate, and his figure flashed and disappeared. He stroked his beard under his jaw and couldn't help but sigh: "The general's command is really hidden and lying on the tiger!"
Lei Yuan nodded and shook his head again.
The managers of the Lei clan of Lujiang have different ways of starting their own business than those of scholars and literati in other places. Almost every one of them has a tragic story, and they are forced to go to the mountains and become thieves. Those who can struggle from such a cruel environment must be more or less outstanding. When they are forced to get anxious, their ways of doing things are even different from those of local celebrities like Yan Pu and Ma Zhong.
But maybe Huang Xun can really accomplish this, but Lei Yuan still needs to make some other preparations.
He thought for a while and said to the entourage behind him: "Prepare the boat, I'll go to Jiangling once."
At the same time, Huang Xun took the order and left without any delay.
When he and several guards came, the horses he rode were exhausted, so he changed the horses and rushed back to Cenping 180 miles that day.
When he went there, he brought four guards, and when he came back, only two were left. It turned out that it was dark early in winter. A guard accidentally dropped his horse when passing Sanhekou, which injured his leg bone. So Huang Qing left one person to accompany him and continued to hurry on his way.
When the three of them arrived, they were so tired that they could not speak, their faces were covered in dust and sweat, leaving behind gray and black marks.
His subordinates had already provided hot water and hand towels. Huang Xiaoxiao came down and wiped his face. He felt that the skin on his face was so painful and itchy that the cold wind blew. Because sand and soil penetrated into his throat, he could hardly speak, and his throat was as dry as dry as wood. The inside of his strands was even more scorching, which was the result of being worn out by the saddle all the way. Careful people could see the solidified blood stains on their trousers legs.
Duan Feng came up and asked, "Gong Yu, what do you say?"
Huang Qing did not answer, and waved to a servant first and asked him to ask for a water cup.
He just took a sip of water and took a breath of air conditioning. It turned out that because of the fatigue on the road, he bit his lips from time to time to refresh himself. At this time, his lips also broke many holes, and was stimulated by the water and suddenly felt severe pain.
After a long time, he recovered a little and pulled his feet to Baiyu Mountain.
Duan Feng asked again: "Pong Yu?"
Huang Xun thought about it and said that when he set out, he only wanted to urge Lei Yuan to take the initiative to suppress the rebellious Jing Man. However, because of a sudden whim on the way, he finally came up with the idea of riding alone to capture the behind-the-scenes instigator, and Lei Yuan even agreed.
He didn't dare to say it to Duan Feng, for fear that after he said it, Duan Feng thought he was crazy.
So he calmed down and asked back first: "What news is there around?"
Cenping is located outside Yidu County, within the jurisdiction of Wuling County, and guards the throat of north-south water and land transportation. On the west, it connects to the strongest places of the Barbarians, Chongxian, Youyang, Chenyang and other places; on the east, passing through Lishui, the Cen River can directly reach Changsha; and in the north-south direction, the road opened by Leiyuan and the old road of Wushui are parallel, and it is very convenient to reach Zhaoling in the south and Lexiang in the north.
Therefore, information about various places in Jingnan and even barbarians usually arrives here first, and then the officials under the Hujing Barbarian Captain handle the matter according to the priorities, or send them to General Fenwei's mansion in Yidao or Lexiang.
Before Huang Qing left, he entrusted Duan Feng with the information collection and forwarding, so he had this question at this moment.
Duan Feng asked the soldiers leading the horse to retreat and whispered: "Most of them are bad news, few good news!"
"How to explain it?"
"As you said, the barbarians have arranged for a big move today. There are troubles in the boss everywhere in Jingnan!"
Seeing that Huang Qing's feet were numb and difficult to walk, Duan Feng held Huang Qing's arm to guide him. If he had been a long-term leader in the past, he did not feel that he was so respectful to his work. However, last night and this morning, he could not help but feel that he did not respect him particularly.
While walking with Huang Qing, he introduced: "Guiyang County was the first to have an accident. The capital of Chen County was attacked by more than 4,000 barbarians. The prefect Liao Li was defeated. He abandoned the outer city and occupied the county government. He sent the chief clerk Chen Shuang to ask for help. It is said that many people in the city died. In Changsha, he heard that there were bandits who failed to attack Linxian, so he plundered Hengyang grain warehouse and set fire to surrounding fields. These two places are larger. There were hundreds of barbarian riots, attacking and killing township officials, and plundering county towns, and about ten cases."
Duan Feng let go of Huang Qing's hand, gestured for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "The documents for help sent to me and transferred are so thick. Roughly, the military and civilians have suffered thousands of losses."
As soon as Duan Feng finished speaking, he found that Huang Xun's feet were unstable, so he staggered and quickly supported him again.
That's all? It's already very good. The sect leader temporarily detained the leaders of the Tian family, Xiang family, Chen family, Tan family and other barbarian tribes, and quickly released news that they were happy to cooperate with each other, which obviously played a role. The number of barbarians mobilized at present is far from the limit. I'm afraid at least 70% of the barbarian tribes are waiting and watching.
Of course, 30% of the Jingman tribe's commotion has caused a headache.
"There is also good news. The barbarians attacked Zhaoling and were repelled by Xi Zhen, the commander of the northern Lingling. There were no other accidents in Lingling County, and it was still stable." Duan Feng continued: "Pong Yu, if you want to go to Lingling, at least the road is smooth!"
Huang Xun shook his head first. Lingling County is now "stable", which is the most troublesome!
Then he was stunned again: "How did Xuanguo know that I want to go to Lingling?"
"Gong Yu, we have been in Cenping for a year, and I probably know your personality. You are full of great contributions and do great things. You like to face difficulties the most... Since that's the case, is it difficult to guess?" Duan Feng looked at Huang Qing's expression and said in a deep voice: "But I don't know, what is there in it that needs Duan's help?"
At this time, the two had already climbed the winding mountain road of Baiyu Mountain and stood in front of the fortress's main entrance.
Huang Xun stood upright with the door frame.
He went back and forth, three hundred and sixty miles, running for a long distance. When he was away, he was surrounded by stars and the night was dark after returning. At this time, he looked down at the bottom, but saw several bonfires in the square where the banquet was held yesterday, and the sound of scammers came from far and near, showing that he was very cautious.
"Xuanguo, there is something I really want you to help."
"Please give me instructions."
"I'll go change my clothes and wash up a little. Please ask Xuan Guo to raise the barbarians we caught and arrest them in the square."
"We caught seven or eight hundred people, were we all taken out?"
"All." Huang Qing nodded.
Today, Duan Feng urgently gathered the soldiers scattered all over the country, but so far, there are still only 500 defenders in Cenping. It is not easy to control the barbarian captives of seven or eight hundred people.
Duan Feng hurriedly called his soldiers and hurried to make arrangements.
Huang Qing went to wash, change clothes, and took advantage of the time to eat some food, and squinted his eyes for a while.
It seemed that not long after, someone called out outdoors: "Huang is engaged in? Huang is engaged in? Chief Duan Qu has brought the prisoners."
