Chapter 100 Cangshan Ferry
Chapter 100 Cangshan Ferry
After the collapse of Fengqi Pavilion, the news of the seven sub-rudders flowed out. Although Zhan Ning paid attention and set fire to some information of each sub-rudder, the information left was still enough to cause a fatal blow to Fengqi Pavilion. Expose as much as possible.For a moment, the envoys of Fengqi Pavilion were like mice crossing the street, and were frantically captured and killed by the court.
Lang Kangzhe not only sent people to pay the remnants of Fengqi Pavilion in the capital, but also ordered the government all over the country to strangle Fengqi Pavilion, arrested thousands of people along the clues, and executed them all within three days.Such harsh punishment made the common people in the capital panic.In order to prevent unrest, a strict curfew was imposed in the capital, and the common people stayed behind closed doors, creating an atmosphere of terror for a while.
Lang Kangzhe read the action files leaked from Fengqi Pavilion, and suddenly realized that Lang Yinshi had done so many bad things behind his back, and all kinds of feelings filled his heart, and each feeling made him feel like being bitten by insects and ants. He couldn't help laughing out loud.
"My dear friends, take a look, look! This is my good brother!"
"This is the decent person praised by the people, your upright regent, Lang Yinshi, the head of Fengqi Pavilion! He has done so many shady things in secret!"
"So things in this world will come to light one day. Whether it's a man or a ghost, it will show his true face long ago. The Duke of Zhenguo blamed me for treating her unfairly, but I wondered, there is still a man in this smoky Tianlang." She is such a character who emerges from the mud without staining? I really don't believe it! As expected, it turns out that they are all rich wolves whose hearts are darker than crows!"
"The evidence is convincing now. I don't think he has the face to intercede with me? I beg you to forgive me!" Lang Kangzhe's sense of guilt over the rivalry was wiped away. "Those who persuaded me to let King Ye go, you should also think about it, wipe out these jackals completely, and straighten my court, what's wrong?"
The ministers are submissive and dare not answer.Lang Kangzhe acting as an agent of the government depends entirely on his personal preferences. In view of the precedents of ministers saying wrong words and being executed, they decided that it is better to compromise and survive.
The Daqing Mountain is continuous and steep, and it took more than ten days to climb it.Yin Zijun ate and slept in the open all the way, and often went to the farmers' homes in the mountains to borrow food.But they all wrote IOUs one by one, saying that when the war stabilizes, they will definitely pay back ten times.
Fortunately, after leaving Daqing Mountain, they directly reached the north-south junction, which not only shortened the distance, but also avoided Zhongzhou Prefecture where King Xuan's troops were concentrated.Everyone thinks they are lucky.Due to the lack of information in the mountains, the news of the Battle of Liuhuang Mountain has never been heard, so Lang Yinshi had to let go of his concern for his uncle for the time being.
Coming out of Daqing Mountain, the Yinzi Army set foot on the last plain between the north and the south, the Ganjiang Plain.The Gan River is a branch of the Huai River, the Huai River is the natural boundary separating the north and the south of Tianlang, and the Ganjiang River is in principle the entrance to the southeast of Tianlang.As long as you cross the Ganjiang River, you can reach Songyuan County, an important town in the southeast.
Lang Yinshi asked the soldiers to cross half of the Ganjiang plain at the fastest speed, find a ferry, and cross the river quickly.The south is close at hand. If everything goes well, they will be able to arrive in Songyuan County in five days.The last road must be walked steadily.Lang Yinshi paid close attention to the dynamics of the Ganjiang Plain, and capturing the ferry was their top priority. At the same time, they must always pay attention to blocking the footsteps of the pursuers.
In the evening of this day, I rode through the towns in the Ganjiang Plain. Many pines and cypresses were planted along the way, and jackdaws stood on the bald branches. The people lived in a slow pace, and there was a quiet atmosphere.
Lang Yinshi was surprised by the indifference of the magistrate of Ganjiang County, and he didn't send any soldiers to intercept him.
Cai Ting rode a horse and followed Lang Yinshi closely. Ever since he climbed down the cliff that day, the middle-aged civil servant had been feeling trembling in his legs and feet. Lang Yinshi simply sent someone to find him a horse.
"Ganjiang County is close to the south, and most of the officials in the county have good relations with the south. Since His Highness is very popular in the south, Ganjiang County must not be willing to stop it." Cai Ting explained, "Besides, many prefectures and counties do not I am willing to recognize the status of King Xuan, as long as the imperial edict is not promulgated for a day, I don't think everyone will buy King Xuan's account."
"Small Ganjiang County, even if we send troops to stop it, the chances of winning are not great. If they are willing to remain neutral, it will save us a lot of trouble."
Lang Yinshi was talking, but he saw Lu Yuan galloping towards them right in front of him.
"General!" Lu Yuan dismounted and reported, "The spies from the front are here to report. All the troops in Ganjiang County have been temporarily dispatched by King Xuan to guard the ferry. At present, the three closest ferries along the Ganjiang River are Shanyang Ferry and Longmen Ferry. , Cangshan Ferry are all under the control of King Xuan. There are a total of 8000 troops."
"King Xuan's Zhongzhou army is two or three days behind us, and has not entered the plain area yet."
"...It seems that we are going to grab the ferry." Lang Yinshi thought after hearing the words, with a relaxed expression, and looked at Cai Ting in a blink of an eye. "Master Cai is not afraid of water, is he? It is not easy to cross the river. If there is an emergency, you may have to swim across it. Are you confident?"
"Ah?" Cai Ting was confused for a moment, a little terrified, and realized that Lang Yinshi was teasing him about his fear of heights, and couldn't help but blush. "The lower officials can't swim, the water is high and the waves are rough, so naturally they will be afraid..." As a civil servant, Cai Ting is proud of having read a complete collection of classics and history, but he has to admit the difference from those who marched.
"Haha." Lang Yinshi smiled lightly, "Master Cai has a specialization in art, so don't worry about it. It's just that the high water and waves are not scary, what's scary is that there are not enough boats."
"Lu Yuan," Lang Yinshi ordered, "you and Hu Han separately go to each ferry to check the situation of the ships and see if you can find a reliable boatman. It's not difficult to grab the ferry, but I'm afraid that Lang Kangzhe will not Will give us a chance to cross the river."
"Yes!" Lu Yuan took the order, turned around on his horse, and galloped away.
At night, stationed in the camp on the outskirts of the city, with candles lit, Lang Yinshi led the crowd to analyze the map of Ganjiang County.
"The general's expectations are correct. King Xuan has notified the magistrate of Ganjiang County three days ago to smash up and destroy all the boats at the ferry crossings along the river. Now along the Ganjiang River, it is difficult to find usable boats to cross the river." Lu Yuanhui reported, "I found the boatmen, and they are willing to cooperate, but without a boat, the boatmen are useless." He had just returned, hungry, and was drinking hot soup, sitting on a marching stool beside him.
"No boat is a big problem." Cai Ting looked serious, while measuring the distance on the map, "Even if more than 5000 soldiers stay, at least one boat must be found so that His Highness can cross the river! Such a long By the river, can’t you find a boat?!”
Everyone fell into deep thought for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
Lang Yinshi shook his head, "No, at this juncture, Ganjiang must pass together. If five thousand soldiers are left behind, even if I go south safely, I will just run away and won't gain the trust of the south."
"These [-] soldiers are the core of consolidating the regime after we go to the south. At this stage, the states in the south are not in the same mind and urgently need to be unified. There are no soldiers or horses. Where do we have the confidence to negotiate terms with others?"
"The general is right!" Cai Ting nodded upon hearing this. "Only in this way, what is needed is more than just a boat. Where can I find a boat?!"
Everyone is hesitant.Hu Han, who was lying on his stomach studying the map, raised his head at this moment, with a pair of radiant tiger eyes, and wanted to say something.
"General, you can seize a ferry first before discussing it. What if there are extra ships left at the ferry? We can occupy the ferry and think of a way. It's better than just waiting for the Zhongzhou army to come after us."
"According to the map, we can find that the closest to us is Shanyang Ferry, followed by Longmen Ferry. In comparison, Cangshan Ferry is much farther away." Hu Han pointed to the punctuated area and explained. "However, according to today's informant, in terms of troop distribution, Cangshan Ferry has the least number of guards, only 500."
"What do you mean?" Lang Yinshi raised his head and asked.
"I can set off tonight and lead an advance force of 2000 people to take a detour to Cangshan Ferry. There is great hope of occupying the ferry! Once the ferry is occupied, the subsequent actions will be much more flexible. Please make arrangements then!"
Lang Yinshi got up and studied the map for a while, looked at Hu Han and nodded appreciatively, and said affirmatively, "Okay! Let's do it like this!"
