Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Li Jing also waved his hand and signaled: "Zhiyong, it's getting late, let's make a long story short."

"Yes!"

Zhang Zhiyong responded politely, and then said to Guo Ye: "During the days when the general was hiding...hiding...in Lingnan City, the general found some clues on the banks of the Blackwater River in Lingnan City."

Zhang Zhiyong used the word "hidden" instead of "hidden" instead of "hidden". Obviously, he needed some shame.

Guo Ye noticed these subtleties, but he didn't take it seriously, but asked, "What clues did you find?"

Zhang Zhiyong said: "During those days, I just happened to be hiding in a fisherman's house on the bank of the Heishui River, and I happened to find out that at night, there would always be riverboats departing from Lingnan City to Qianzhou City. It was just a two-ship river boat, but dozens of boats went back and forth, and this situation lasted for half a month."

Guo Yeqi said: "Isn't it normal for river boats to and fro between these two cities?"

"Mr. Guo, don't worry, the last general hasn't finished yet."

Zhang Zhiyong took a breath and continued: "The strange thing is that the sides of these dozens of river boats are almost submerged in the water, and the speed of the boats is still as slow as an old woman's when rowing by dozens of boatmen. All the ships are full of goods. Once, the last general sneaked to the Lingnan City Wharf to observe, and found that both the boatman on the ship and the coolies loading the ship on the wharf were all bandits of the White Lotus Sect. Ordinary cargo ships, where do you need to teach the bandits to carry the cargo by themselves? Wouldn’t it be enough to bring some ordinary people and strong men to help in the city? It took half a month to load the cargo at night, and then sailed to Qianzhou City. You can see these Goods are very important to the White Lotus Sect."

After listening to it, Guo Ye gradually felt that the information provided by Zhang Zhiyong was quite strange, and he kept muttering: "I have been loading goods at night for half a month, sneaking around, and I don't want to force the strong men in the city to help , it can be seen that the matter is confidential. The dead and heavy cargo almost presses the water surface over the side of the ship? Could it be that this is not ordinary cargo?"

For a moment, he was in a difficult situation. What was it that deserved the secrecy and caution of the White Lotus Sect?

Immediately, he speculated: "Could it be that the grain and grass collected in Lingnan City were transported to Qianzhou City for storage?"

Li Jing said with a smile: "If it's just food and grass, how can you be so cautious? And if the food and grass in Lingnan City are transported away and stored in Qianzhou City, what will Hu Bilie and his five thousand bandits eat in the city? Besides, even with a whole boat full of grain and grass, do you think it would be so heavy?"

"I see!"

Guo Ye blurted out: "Gold, silver and jewels are the so-called three caves of the cunning rabbit. Hu Bilie is definitely going to store the gold, silver and jewels looted from Lingnan City in the humble Qianzhou City, right?"

Li Jing nodded his head first, then shook his head again and again, saying: "Yes, not right. Gold, silver and jewelry are absolutely right. But it is definitely not just a city's gold, silver and jewelry. Otherwise, where would it take a lot of money?" Ten riverboats have been transporting for half a month? How could Lingnan City have such a huge amount of treasure.”

When Li Jing said this, if Guo Ye still couldn't understand, then he was really a stick.

He restrained his heart from throbbing wildly, and said in astonishment: "Could it be that Hu Bilie looted all the gold, silver and jewels from fifteen cities in the Lingnan area, and then secretly transported them to Qianzhou, which is only across a river but not very eye-catching on weekdays?" city?"

Li Jing nodded again, and then said: "Besides this reason, do you think there are other possibilities? Could it be that Hu Bilie spent so much manpower and material resources to transport the stones to Qianzhou for half a month?" City hoarding?"

"Haha, then this time I really made a lot of money!"

Guo Ye bared his teeth with golden eyes and grinned: "Counting him for half a month, counting him fifty ships, after a rough calculation, there are a total of 750 river boats with gold, silver and jewelry stored in Qianzhou City. This he Damn, I almost ransacked fifteen cities in the Lingnan area. This wealth is truly incomparable. Boss, I understand your intentions. You want me to take the wealth looted by the White Lotus Cult in the Lingnan area. I have already dampened the morale of the hundreds of thousands of Bailian bandits along Lingnan Road, and cut off their thoughts. Moreover, as soon as the news that Qianzhou City was captured by our Guangnan Road army came out, the bandit leaders from all over the place would be moved by the news. Surely they would think of snatching back this incomparably rich treasure at the first moment, right? For these mobs, if Lingnan City is lost, they can regain it, and if the leader Hu Bilie dies, they can build a new one, but such a freshman The gold, silver and jewels are gone, that’s what happened. In this way, you can successfully attract the firepower of the white lotus bandits from all over the place, and relieve you from the pressure of being besieged by the bandits from Zhucheng after you took Lingnan City, right?"

"Yes!"

Li Jing nodded and said with a smile: "And taking advantage of this opportunity, I can take advantage of the opportunity to recover the cities around Lingnan Road, and put my Tang dragon flag on the fifteen cities of Lingnan Road again. As long as Lingnan is restored, I will In the name of the Minister of the Ministry of War, if you dispatch garrisons to the other roads, then you and I can combine our two armies into one, focusing on the Guangnan Road area, destroying all the Bailian bandit troops gathered in the Guangnan Road area, and successfully recovering the lost city."

After Li Jing finished speaking, even Zhang Zhiyong, who had been extremely depressed and depressed just now, was full of brilliance and hope.

Hearing the words, Guo Ye was also happy before worrying, but in a split second, he nodded with determination and said in a deep voice: "Okay, just listen to the old man."

Li Jing obviously noticed that Guo Ye's face was not right, he smiled wryly, and sighed: "Boy Guo, I know that this time is making things difficult for you. As long as you occupy Qianzhou City and take this wealth that is incomparably rich, then It is bound to become a thorn in the side of the entire White Lotus Cult. This Xier is bound to wipe you out and then quickly. It is possible that you will face hundreds of thousands of bandits from all over the world who came to take back the treasure, and it is more likely that you will face Lingnan The siege of millions of white lotus sect protectors from Guangnan and Guangnan. Your mere [-] soldiers and horses, even if they are elite soldiers, will be destroyed sooner or later. The reason why ants kill elephants, old man How can you not understand. But the old man is here to implore you——

Even if you fight until the last soldier, you still have to defend Qianzhou City for half a month.As long as you can hold on for half a month, the old man will definitely rescue you.At that time, our father and I will attack from inside and outside, and have a good fight with these thieves and bandits! "

With a regular army of only [-], it would take at least half a month to defend a small city that might be besieged by hundreds of thousands of mobs.

Guo Ye's heart was indeed slightly shaken, because although the opponent was a mob, there was still a huge gap between the enemy and us.

This time, if it is promised, it will not be an exaggeration to describe it as narrow escape or danger.

However, he had to admit that Zhang Zhiyong's information was too valuable, and Li Jing's method was too risky.

It happened to be this risky and bold method, but it was the fastest and most effective way to break the situation right now.

Guo Ye glanced at Li Jing, who had a bitter expression on his face, and finally nodded his head resolutely, and said in a deep voice: "Old man, wealth and wealth are in danger, I will do it for you!"

"it is good!"

Li Jing applauded with high-fives, and said loudly: "Boy Guo, if this old man's action really makes you die in Qianzhou City, then after the old man suppresses the rebel bandits, he will not claim all the merits of heaven alone, and he will not just live in an ignoble way. That's when the old man cut his own throat and came down to accompany you."

Guo Ye smiled briskly, shook his head and waved his hands: "Old man, this battle hasn't started yet, so why be so pessimistic? But the kid has one last merciless request, I hope the old man agrees!"

Li Jing generously stretched out his hand and asked: "If you have any request, just say it. At this moment, if the old man refuses to agree to you, it will be too petty."

Chapter 1046

Cook food at the third watch and set off at the fifth watch.

It was not yet bright, and the fish belly was only half turned white, so Li Jing hurriedly led his Lingnan Road army to the right side of the fork in the road, heading towards Lingnan Road.

And it wasn't until Li Jing's army swept up the soil and ashes into Lingnan Road that Guo Ye finally got up and walked out of the tent.

At this time, his army on Guangnan Road started a stove, and the rice was not yet cooked.

However, when he walked out of the tent, a team of about 3000 people in black armor and black cloak had already assembled, waiting for his inspection.

Black Armored Profound Soldiers!

The most mysterious and most effective force in Li Jing's hands.

Now that Li Ji led the army away, he left this black-armored mysterious soldier who had made great achievements with him in the southern and northern wars, and left it to Guo Ye.

Three thousand black-armored soldiers with black faces, black armor and black cloaks, and three thousand first-class war horses wrapped in heavy armor were all left to Guo Ye to help Guo Ye capture Qianzhou City and hold it for half a month.

This was Guo Ye's last unfeeling request to Li Jing last night.

Guo Ye can risk his life and death to lead an army to capture Qianzhou City, attract firepower for Li Jing and hold back hatred.

Boring Boring~

A black-armored Xuanbing general at the front walked out of the queue, trotted to Guo Ye with one hand on the handle of the knife slung around his waist, then took off the black helmet that covered his cheeks, and then knelt down on one knee , holding a helmet in one hand and clenched a fist in front of his chest, gave a regular military salute, and shouted loudly: "Cao Luxun, general Cao Luxun of the Black Armor Xuanbing Zhonglang, was ordered by Duke Wei to march to Lingnan Road Report! The Duke of Wei has ordered that from now on the [-] black-armored mysterious soldiers will be dispatched by Mr. Guo, but we have orders, and we will die!"

"Don't give up!"

"Will never give up, never give up!"

In an instant, three thousand black-armored profound soldiers were doing the same movement, that is, clenched one hand into a fist and put it flat on the chest, shouting the deafening four words in unison.

Inadvertently, it attracted the attention and attention of everyone near the camp.

The 3000 people were ordered to be banned, and their gestures of killing were awe-inspiring, and they looked down on the world.

Guo Ye couldn't help sighing secretly, the master of a hundred battles is just like this!

Immediately, he waved his hand to signal everyone to accept the gift, then turned his gaze to the general Zhonglang who commanded the black-armored Xuanbing, and asked, "Your name is Cao Luxun?"

"Reporting to Mr. Guo, yes, the last general is from the Jiangyou family in the middle of Shu, and his surname is Cao Mingluxun. The last general has been here since Duke Wei formed the Heijiaxuan Army. In the first year of Zhenguan, he received the previous Zhonglang general and took charge of Heijiaxuan Soldiers so far."

After the Zhonglang recited Cao Luxun's birthplace, name and resume very smoothly, Guo Ye was convinced.Because from the self-introduction of the other party, Guo Ye could see that this person had followed Li Jing since the beginning of his military service, and he could definitely rest assured about his loyalty.
