Chapter Four Hundred and Twenty Thousand Characters
Since they went north to Zhanshou Mountain, ten days had passed since the two gods Gen and Yue arrived.
During these ten days, Li Xiuyuan has been staying in the grain field to reorganize the army.
Although time is tight, the effect is still obvious.
The general organization of an army has been formed, with a total of eight thousand people.
Although the weapons and armor are not uniform, this does not hinder anything. These bodyguards are all people who know martial arts and can use guns. As long as the weapons and armor are forged, these eight thousand people can immediately form combat effectiveness.
Although it is still very loose, this is the best that Li Xiuyuan can do.
"Rumble"
In the fields, thousands of war horses were galloping, making the sound of iron hoofs.
Li Xiuyuan sat on a strong horse and stood on the mound watching these people familiarize themselves with horse skills. There was no joy in his heart. On the contrary, he frowned and looked very sad.
Because every day he would receive news about Li Liangjin's rebels.
The secret soldiers and ghosts under his command have spread all over Yangzhou, and every move of Li Liangjin's rebels cannot escape his eyes and ears.
It was precisely because he knew everything that he was worried.
Because of the rapid expansion of the rebel forces, he felt a little incredible.
The thieves' army is huge.
According to Li Liangjin's next march plan, he was either going to capture Yangzhou City or Jinling City.
There was the imperial armament storehouse in Yangzhou City, and the prefect of Yangzhou was a relative of Li Liangjin. As soon as his army arrived, Yangzhou would be at your fingertips.
Li Xiuyuan of Jinling City made an agreement with the gods in the Heavenly Palace. If Jinling City was conquered, he would give up his sword and follow the Taoist path and end his journey to the world.
It's just that he hopes the bandits will take Jinling City more than Yangzhou City.
Why?
This was part of his original plan.
He used himself as bait to induce the gods in the Heavenly Palace to let Li Liangjin take Jinling City.
Jinling City is much more difficult to capture than Yangzhou City. Not only is there a so-called 200,000 garrison there, but the city is tall and surrounded by a river, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. Li Liangjin and a group of rabble-rousers failed to capture the Yangzhou City armory.
, it is very difficult to capture Jinling City.
If Li Liangjin takes Yangzhou City first and then Jinling City, it will be even harder to defend.
With the addition of food, weapons, and men from Yangzhou City, the rebel forces will expand again, and it will not be impossible to take Jinling City by then.
"Li Liangjin's mind is not bad. According to my understanding of him, he will definitely take Yangzhou City first. If he does the opposite, then I can be sure that the gods in heaven are also involved, because compared to Li Liangjin, the gods in heaven are
That makes me even more hope that I will fail." Li Xiuyuan's eyes flickered and he looked towards the north.
This is a battle with humans, demons, and heaven.
If you win, you can expect a great road, but if you lose, all your efforts will be in vain.
Just when he was watching the group of men galloping across the fields.
Suddenly.
"Zhizhi~!"
A field mouse that was larger than an ordinary mouse suddenly emerged from the nearby field, lowered its head and rustled to Li Xiuyuan's feet, took out a letter from under its belly, raised its front paws,
Make a holding position.
"Um?"
Li Xiuyuan took a look, immediately got off his horse and took the letter.
In the military camp, ordinary ghosts and gods are difficult to approach, so the only way to deliver letters is through spirits.
When he opened it, his face immediately lit up with joy.
This is Zhu Yu’s letter.
The letter said that he had bought an official position and was now asking the escorts from the Shunfeng Escort Agency to bring him back as quickly as possible. However, he himself was involved in some trivial matters in the capital and could not go back. Please forgive me.
It doesn't matter that Zhu Yu has something to do and won't be able to come back for the time being.
The important thing is that his mission this time has been completed.
"It's really timely. The army I compiled and trained has just taken shape, and good news came from him. Without further ado, I want Tieshan and a few ghost kings to go and pick up the things on the way. At the same time,
Start summoning ghosts and gods from all over the world to prepare to follow me to put an end to the chaos,"
Li Xiuyuan's eyes flickered. After being silent for almost a month, he was finally able to move.
It's time to let Li Liangjin, the Black Mountain old demon, and some demons and ghosts who try to murder him know how powerful he is.
Thinking of this, he immediately reined in his horse and ran towards the county.
Just tonight.
Tieshan and the two ghost kings set out from Jinling City and headed towards the capital. At the same time.
A stream of green smoke floats from Tengqi, Guobei County, to all directions around the world.
I don't know how many ghosts and gods can be summoned by an edict, but Li Xiuyuan believes that there are still good ghosts and gods in the world who are willing to help him.
It would be best to take this opportunity to find like-minded people.
In the early morning of the second day.
Nearly a hundred miles north of Jinling City, there is a county called Qingshan County.
There is a rural village near the county.
This is Qingshan Village.
At this moment, in the courtyard of a house in the village, there was sitting a man wearing a long robe, with an extraordinary handsome appearance, elegant and quiet temperament. He had an extraordinary handsome appearance, and anyone who had seen him would
All women were moved by it, and even some women in the village frequently made secret glances.
"Brother Lan Yu, hehe, I'm here. Didn't you teach me to learn new words yesterday?"
A farm girl about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a slight blush on her delicate face, walked into the yard with a smile.
Hu Lanyu put down the book in his hand at this moment and said with a slight smile: "Xiaoqiao, I received a letter yesterday. There is a benefactor who needs my help. I have to go out for a while, so I'm afraid I won't be able to teach you how to read and write recently."
"That's right." The peasant girl named Xiaoqiao suddenly became disappointed, but then she raised her head again and said, "Then will Brother Lan Yu come back?"
Hu Lanyu looked at Xiaoqiao, thought for a while and said: "I will definitely come back. This is my home. How can I not go back when I have a home? Besides, my mother still needs support at home."
"Then I'll wait for you to come back. After you come back, you will continue to teach me how to read and write." Xiaoqiao said with a look of anticipation.
Hu Lanyu smiled and said: "Okay, when I come back, I will give you a test to see if you have forgotten the words I taught you before."
"I will memorize it every day and write it down several times. I will never forget it." Xiaoqiao said confidently.
"If you don't memorize a word correctly or make a mistake in writing, I will give you a gift when the time comes." Hu Lanyu said.
"what gift?"
"We can't say it yet." Hu Lanyu smiled slightly.
Xiaoqiao's face turned red, but she hurriedly took something out of her arms and put it in his hands: "You are leaving the village. This is the sachet I prepared a long time ago. Give it to you."
After putting down the sachet, she immediately turned around and ran away, and soon she disappeared.
Hu Lanyu was slightly stunned and looked at the sachet in his hand. There were three words embroidered on it: Brother Lanyu.
"Gee, second brother, Mr. Li asked you to help support this kind old man in the village, but you seduced this little girl's heart away. Let's see what you do in the future."
A charming, enchanting smile rang out, and a beautiful woman wearing a red dress, with a light body and a curvy front and back came out.
Hu Lanyu smiled faintly and put the sachet into her arms: "Let's go. The saint and our fox clan have a debt of gratitude. Now it's time for us to repay our kindness. Where is my little sister?"
"My little sister naturally misses her husband so much that she set out last night. I am afraid she has already arrived at Jinling City." Third Sister Hu said quietly.
"Don't you always say you want to seduce Mr. Li? Why don't you go with me?"
Third Sister Hu sighed and said with some melancholy: "My waist injury has not healed yet. If that enemy wants me to serve, how can I be in trouble? So I have to avoid it."
""
Hu Lanyu said nothing, just shook his head, put down the book in his hand and waved, "Third sister, let's go. I have arranged for Zimei to take care of the things here."
Soon, a gust of breeze blew up, and the two people in the yard disappeared immediately.
The breeze blew backwards, and the books on the table turned.
But it is a thousand-character text, which reads: The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, the universe is vast, the sun and the moon are waxing, and the stars are arranged.
At the same time, Xiaoqiao's cheerful recitation also sounded in the village: "The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, the universe is vast, the sun and the moon are waxing, the stars are arranged, the cold comes and the summer comes, the autumn harvests and the winter hides."
There was a girlish sweetness and a hint of hope for the future in her voice.
Hu Lanyu, who was flying among the white clouds, also touched the sachet that had been placed on her chest.
"Do you want to say goodbye?" Third Sister Hu giggled.
Hu Lanyu shook her head slightly: "After the chaos is settled, we will come back. It won't take too long."
