Two flowers bloomed, one on each branch, and Jia Waixiong led the Leopard Battalion to separate from Laojiu in Mianyang and head straight south.
He had no clear purpose for going here, he just wanted to wander around the surrounding area and then meet up with Lao Jiuhao Waiqi and the others at the foot of Jingzhou City. To put it bluntly, he just wanted to show off in Jingzhou.
Of course, it’s best to pick up some bargains along the way.
If you go straight from Mianyang to Zhengnan, you will reach the Yangtze River. However, the road here is not easy to walk. Unlike the flat plains on the other side of Qianjiang, Xiantao is surrounded by hilly areas, and if you want to go to the Yangtze River in Zhengnan, you must at least go there.
We have to cross three major rivers, Tongshun River, Dongjing River and Neijing River.
All three are large rivers, and it is not easy for the cavalry to cross them.
But I couldn’t stand up to Jia Waixiong, so there was no urgent matter. On the first day we separated, we galloped on horseback. We crossed the Tongshun River and camped on the spot before dark. We continued our trek early the next morning. Three hundred horses rode like the wind and arrived in Dongjing the next day.
The riverside is, yes, the Dongjing River that flows through the west of Qianjiang County and Jingzhou.
The reason why Jia Waixiong came straight here was because he had a small goal besides showing off. Fukuo County on the Yangtze River, which later became Honghu City, was now just a small town patrol.
Based on the first-come-first-served principle, Jia Waixiong planned to go to Fukuo to urinate first to occupy the space.
According to the plan, it can be reached in three days.
However, they were blocked by a heavy rain. There was no village nearby, so they had to find a forest to cut trees and build a tent to camp. After staying up all day and night, as soon as the sky cleared, they immediately broke camp and headed south for dozens of miles, but were blocked by the Tongshun River.
Jia Waixiong knew that after crossing this river, he could walk dozens of miles to Fukuo County, and further south he would reach the Yangtze River. When he was about to order his men to find a boat to cross the water nearby, he suddenly heard a warning signal from the east.
Bandits and horse thieves? This was the first thought that crossed Jia Waixiong's mind. He immediately sent orders to prepare for war, but he didn't know...
Those who came were our own people.
A group of officers and soldiers patrolled the horse.
Ask again, good guy, still someone close to me.
Huang Degong!
Jia Waixiong hurriedly went to Huang Degong's camp twenty miles away to meet him. Others would really ignore him if they thought he had a urinary nature.
But he didn't dare to show off in front of Huang Degong. Officially, Huang Degong was the chief military officer, one of the pillars of the country, and a distinguished noble. In private terms, he was Chang Yu's right hand.
"Why is Uncle Huang here?" Jia Waixiong couldn't help but ask after entering the camp.
"Why can't I come?" Huang Degong rolled his eyes at him and invited him to come into the tent to drink tea.
Huang Degong came naturally. It was said that Zuo Liangyu died of illness suddenly. Chang Yu was worried about chaos in Wuchang and hurriedly waved his troops. Huang Degong traveled thousands of miles to lead three thousand cavalry to support the situation. This is quite a sense of loyalty.
After coming all the way, he couldn't let him come back empty-handed, so Chang Yu told him everything: first-come, first-served, pee first to occupy the space, and all the credit will come later.
So Huang Degong followed Baba's late king Yuncheng's army, led his troops across the river, and then ran west along the Dongjing River.
"Why are you here? Didn't you leave Hanyang a few days ago? How many of them are there?" Huang Degong was also curious about meeting Jia Waixiong here.
Jia Waixiong had nothing to hide from him, so he told him directly.
Huang Degong laughed loudly after hearing this: "In terms of tossing and ostentation, there are only a few of you", and then he was very curious: "Didn't you meet anyone who was short-sighted along the way?"
"No." Jia Waixiong shook his head: "There weren't even any robbers on the road, so it was very peaceful."
Huang Degong thought for a moment: "It's not like this world is peaceful. The kid doesn't dare to touch you. The Lord of Hell may not have responded yet."
"The wind has been blowing for many days. How can the Bull Demon King not hear the wind?" Jia Waixiong didn't believe it, and Huang Degong snorted: "That means you haven't stepped into his territory yet."
Jia Waixiong was startled and suddenly realized: "Jianli"
Huang Degong laughed loudly: "You kid, your cleverness is mistaken for your cleverness. You didn't inquire carefully before coming here. You ran hundreds of miles in vain and ended up in the wrong place."
In other words, Honghu Lake actually now belongs to Zuo Liangyu's sphere of influence, or the buffer zone. Jianli, nearly a hundred miles away to the west, is the scope of Jingzhou.
However, Jia Waixiong was not too upset. His original intention was to wander around blindly, and the small town of Honghu was just a casual target, so he did not feel very disappointed.
That night, Jia Waixiong spent the night in Huang Degong's camp. The two of them ate, drank, and chatted happily. The only drawback was that Jia Waixiong felt guilty: "Uncle, is this war time? If the governor is
I know I drank..."
"Fart, you just drank wine. I have a cold and drank some medicine. You kid, don't spit out blood to slander me..." Huang Degong cursed loudly, and Jia Waixiong quickly confessed: "You kid is talking nonsense, medicine, medicine,...
Cold medicine..."
Early the next morning, Jia Waixiong said goodbye and went to Jianli for a walk. Huang Degong said that we should go together. He who has a companion will not feel lonely.
Jia Waixiong immediately refused, "Are you kidding me? I have three hundred cavalry and I am traveling lightly. I want to be more comfortable and more comfortable. I want more speed and speed. You have three thousand cavalry. You still have food, grass and baggage. You can take one step at a time and rest for three days."
Although the marching speed is faster than that of ordinary troops, it is far worse than mine. That's why I don't take you as a dragster.
Oops, Huang Degong was not happy to hear this. You are ungrateful, young man. You are an unfamiliar fool and can easily fall into a manure pit. It is not good to have an old driver to guide you. Besides, why did you secretly drink my wine?
explain……
I'll go, Jia Waixiong regrets, this old fox is trying to make fun of me, I'm really no match for him.
Come on, Uncle Huang, I’ll just walk with you. We’ll go wherever you say, and we’ll do whatever you say we’ll do.
That's right. Huang Degong hugged Jia Waixiong and said, "You guys don't have to worry about following Chang Yu and enjoying the good life. You have to consider my age, right? Look at all my subordinates who are poor. Haha, Qianli
Why do you come all the way from Anqing to do this..."
Jia Waixiong realized: "Uncle Huang, the prison in front of you is yours, the stone head and the police are all yours..."
"That's what you said." Huang Degong was unhappy: "It seems that Jingzhou is not me..."
"Grass, yes, yes, it's all yours..." Jia Waixiong hurriedly agreed, but Huang Degong suddenly shook his head: "Shishou and the police are a little far away and they are both on the other side of the river. I am a cavalryman and it is inconvenient to cross the river. Besides,
You have to leave some soup for others to drink... After we capture Jianli... how about we go to Haoxue Patrol Division (now Jiangling County) and go straight to Jingzhou City?"
"Uncle Huang pointed the kid to follow him there." Jia Waixiong chuckled, and Huang Degong laughed loudly: "Don't do this, you kid is not such an obedient person, I know you are very thoughtful."
Jia Waixiong quickly said in a serious tone: "Uncle, this is really unjust. With the friendship between you and the Governor, even if I am brave enough, I will not dare to trick you."
"Hey, if it weren't for the fact that my relationship with Chang Yu is not trivial, you would have to play tricks with me." Huang Degong scolded with a smile, and then interrupted Jia Waixiong who was about to defend himself: "We are all members of our own family, so you helped me on this trip.
I won’t pretend not to see if your kid gets into any trouble in the future.”
"Thank you for your respect, uncle." Jia Waixiong was really happy after hearing this. Although his own family was in charge of power, who would disapprove of the current Dazhu Kingdom with heavy troops, not to mention Huang Degong's temperament?
