While Ma Dai showed off his power, the Jingzhou army continued to advance along the Lishui River.

However, the water and land were advanced together, and after going south for dozens of miles, they suddenly turned into two groups.

The navy continued to control the boats and sailed with great fanfare, pointing to Guangxin County, the capital of Cangwu County, which is southeasterly. In this section, the Lishui River has many waters, known as 360 beaches. In this way, the light boat is just shallow and walks across the beach.

A total of 3,000 elite boys landed on a river bend and went straight to the south.

This mountain road that runs through the south and north was originally paved in Xinmang. It was a land passage between Lipu and Mengling counties hundreds of decades ago. Later, as the court weakened, the Hanjiaguan Temple gradually shrank in various places, so this road was gradually abandoned by the government. However, most of the slang officials active in the mountains here were still passed through.

Several liar chiefs around Cangwu County had had contacts with Huang Qing. Although Huang Qing had never been to Jiaozhou, when he was in charge of the Lexiang market, he had met liar envoys and sent letters to the chiefs, and helped the Mei family of Juzhong, and bought them a huge bronze drum.

The so-called lie-killers are some of the Southern Barbarians, or some of the Luo and Yue people. The difference between them and other barbarian tribes is that they are very good at smelting copper and can cast copper into drums. The larger ones weigh hundreds of kilograms and have a wide area of ​​more than a meter. This kind of bronze drum is very popular among the Jingman tribes. It is used in sacrifices, celebrations and other occasions. Legend has it that it can attract divine power.

At that moment, Huang Xun personally followed the guide sent by Lai Gong to lead the way at the forefront of the army.

Of course, the guide also made a special guarantee that these slang tribes were scattered in the mountains and had not yet formed a powerful group, so they rarely did not participate in external disputes. The main force of the Jingzhou Army was 3,000 elite troops, and with their strength, they were enough to intimidate all the troops along the way and ensure that they could move forward and retreat freely.

At this time, three thousand people quickly moved along the deep river valleys and low-lying basins facing north and south.

On the way they passed, wild flowers and plants bloomed beside the road that few people usually walked; and bamboos and shrubs pushed open the collapsed rammed earth road with the vitality of early spring and grew wildly. When soldiers and horses walked into the valley, suddenly the shadows were thick and dark, and almost nothing could be seen.

The terrain of Cangwu County is mostly like this, with small and continuous mountains, many caves, depressions, streams and rivers, and the terrain is very complex. As the troops advance, the queues gradually become narrow and long.

But for the Jingzhou army, such terrain does not hinder them. It can even be said that it is not only not hindered, but almost helps. The reason is that it is complicated and simple, and it is also very simple.

Ding Feng walked vigorously onto a rock on the side of a road, looked at the front and back queues, and remembered the meeting of the generals and generals on Lishui an hour ago.

At that time, Ma Dai had gone to Lipu. Lei Yuan and Guan Ping urged their troops to continue to move south. In this moment, several groups of envoys asking for help were met. It turned out that in the past few days, Guangxin, the capital of Cangwu County, was first besieged, and the counties were immediately besieged. After the people who were seeking help in the county escaped, they could neither seek reinforcements from Guangxin, nor were blocked from Lingqu, so they gathered along the Lishui River and were at a loss.

When the Jingzhou army entered Jiaozhou, these people collided one by one from the hiding places everywhere.

This made the generals hesitate.

At that time, Lei Yuan asked: "Except for Guangxin, all counties in Cangwu County have been attacked, and we don't know what their situation is, whether it is worth sending troops to rescue them... You guys think they should deal with it?"

Lai Gong thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Shi Xie, Bu Zhi was good at launching swords and weapons, and used the orders of the people to fill the mouths of tigers and wolves. The general was ordered to come south, not to fight against Jiangdong, but to eliminate the giant bandits to save the common people's dangers. In my opinion, these places have to go to rescue them."

As soon as these words came out, Lei Yuan and Guan Ping and other generals looked at each other secretly, and each other winked.

Everyone felt that it was not unreasonable for this old man to be driven out of Jiaozhou by Wu Ju. He had the graceful and capable official talent in a peaceful era, but obviously lacked the knowledge of fighting in troubled times.

It should be noted that at this moment, the troops were only more than an hour away from Guangxin. If you were to hurry up, you might soon hit the scout of Shi Xie's troops. You were divided into Ma Dai and went to Lipu to cover the flanks of Lishui. As for other counties, how could you care about it?

Lei Yuan and Guan Pinghe had thousands of troops in total, and this fist could only be squeezed tightly and hit the enemy's vital points!

Who knew that Lai Gong's opening was too high tone for slandering the people and punishing the people, which made the discussion on military response impossible to unfold.

Fortunately, Huang Qing reacted faster and immediately said: "Mr. Lai said it very well. Shi Xie, Bu Zhi and others acted recklessly, so we took the initiative to advance south. In my opinion, since we raised the banner of righteousness and developed a formation, we should go south and defeat the thieves in one fell swoop under Guangxin City. As long as the main force of the thieves fails, the rest of the places will be issued an edict."

Lai Gong is a smart person after all. He knew that he had said the wrong thing and said repeatedly: "Gong Yu, you are right!"

At that moment, Lai Gong sat upright and said nothing. The generals discussed it themselves, and in an instant, they got a solution.

Then the land and the land separated, the navy continued to go to Guangxin, while the land troops headed straight to Mengling from a small road.

This time, the Jingzhou army went south to rescue Wu Ju, but the troops were about to approach Mengling, which was a reason for this.

Guangxin is the capital of Cangwu County. It is located at the intersection of Yushui and Lishui. In order to connect with the east and west, it controls the throats of the Yi and Xia. There are many plains around the county town, which is conducive to marching and decisive battles. However, Guangxin is far away from Lingling, and the Jingzhou army is bound to run for thousands of miles, and it is inevitable that it will be exhausted. However, the Shixie troops who besieged Guangxin, Buzhi troops are waiting for their labor.

The family of the Shixie brothers has been in Jiaozhou for six or seven generations, and is deeply rooted. Lei Yuan believes that although his marches are fast, it is difficult to hide from Shixie's eyes and ears.

When we arrived at Guangxin and ran into countless Jiaozhou barbarians and Jiangdong Wushou Shooting officials who were preparing for it, what would happen?

Lei Yuan was not worried about losing, but he felt that there was a possibility that he could not defeat quickly.

Guan Ping even proposed whether Shi Xie and others could not get Guangxin for dozens of days, just to use it as bait, to lead Jingzhou reinforcements thousands of miles to help and then defeat them? Will all the surrounding counties be attacked? It is also Shi Xie and others who set up a certain position to disperse the reinforcements' forces?

So Lei and Guan two main generals made the final decision:

Most of the Jingzhou army continued to move south. They did not divide their troops or go directly to Guangxin. Instead, they rushed straight south from the road west of Lishui and raided Mengling.

Mengling County is located directly west of Guangxin, upstream of Yushui, about thirty miles away from Guangxin. It is both the throat of the traffic between Cangwu and Yulin counties, and it is also a military fortress west of Guangxin.
