Chapter 42 The River Suisui
Kill all the things!
Yingyanglang general Fei Huai stood on the long street of Xiating, looking at the corpses on the ground, and his anger was burning.
The thief was cruel and slaughtered fifty Yingyang guards in Xia Ting, cut off their heads, and stripped them of their military uniforms. This was a great humiliation. This was actually a humiliation to the Yingyang Mansion of Yongcheng, and a humiliation to Fei Huai, the general of Yingyang Lang. This humiliation deeply angered Fei Huai and the two regiments of the palace soldiers under his command. We must catch the thief and kill them all.
Xia Pavilion has been destroyed, and only broken walls are left in the castle, and the wharf and buildings on both sides have also been burned. As for the ships on the channel, they have already sunk to the bottom of the water, and the waterway has been interrupted. Xia Pavilion was not serious at the hands of the thieves. What is really serious is that the Grand Canal waterway is interrupted, which will inevitably affect the plan of the Eastern Expedition, and the consequences of the plan of the Eastern Expedition are unimaginable.
This is a major case, a major case that shocked the Dongdu. Even if the thief was killed and the culprit was eradicated, the military and political officials in Qiao County could not be exempted from the crime.
The White Horse Prison Cases last month also shocked the Dongdu, and as a result, as many as hundreds of officials were affected by the case. In this way, the Xiating case may not only be affected by the officials of Qiao County. If the culprit cannot be caught and the culprits who caused trouble to Tongjiqu will not be able to destroy these evil thieves who chaotic Tongjiqu, they may be affected by the military and political officials of the counties and counties on both sides of Tongjiqu.
Sima Han Yao from Yingyang Mansion trotted all the way.
"Ming Gong, I found out that the thief had escaped. They went east and ran towards Sui Shui."
Sui Shui? Sui Shui is only more than thirty miles away from Xiating. If the thief had a boat to pick him up, he would sail down after boarding the boat, where would he chase him? Fei Huai's face was gloomy, his brows were frowning, and he stared at Han Yao without saying a word.
Han Yao took a few breaths and continued, "Ming Gong, according to the boatman and sailor who fled to the other shore, the boatman and sailors who attacked Xia Ting at night were a group of white-clothed thieves. They set fire to the canal and occupied the pass, and then ransacked the enemy in a mess. After robbing hundreds of people around the sixth hour of the lunar month, they fled Xia Ting with hundreds of people."
It is now after the Si hour in the morning, and it has been about three hours since the thieves fled from Xiating. If the thieves escaped through the Sui River, the two armies of Yingyang Mansion in Yongcheng will be beyond the reach and will not be able to catch up no matter what. But the situation is here, and you have to chase it if you can't catch up.
Fei Huai did not hesitate anymore and decisively ordered to pursue the Sui River. He ordered the scouts in the mansion to beat horses and whip them, gallop on the Sui River to find out the traces of the thieves.
"I urgently report to the envoy that Xia Ting was burned by the thieves, the canal channel was interrupted, and the situation was critical. Please deal with it quickly."
"I will report to the Zuo Xiaowei Mansion of Pengcheng again and report to General Dong Xia Ting's case. Someone led Yongcheng Yingyang to pursue and suppress the attack and ask General Dong for camera support."

Fei Huai was a Xianbei native. He was originally the Feilian clan of the Xianbei Tuoba tribe. When the Northern Wei Dynasty was transformed into the Fei clan, his ancestors supported Emperor Xiaowu to travel westward and entered the pass, and thus became one of the nobles of the two surnames of Guanlong and Han capitulation. When Fei Huai was young, he followed his father to join the army and followed his father, Wu Benlang General Fei Qingnu, and made many achievements on the frontier battlefield. He became General Yingyanglang in less than 30 years old. He was a well-known young general in the Weifu army.
Fei Huai's life ideal was to become a general of the Weifu Palace. The most basic condition to realize this ideal was to build countless merits. Now that Middle-earth is unified and the civil war has subsided, the only place to make merits is to make merits on the battlefield of external conquests. However, there were too many nobles in Middle-earth, and countless generals who wanted to make merits on the battlefield of external conquests. As a result, the competition became more and more fierce, and eventually they had to fight for "father".
Fei Huai's father was Fei Qingnu. He was the general of Wu Ben Lang of the Guards and was an absolute senior general. However, in the twelve guards, there were twelve generals, twenty-four generals, and forty-eight generals of Wu Ben Lang. In addition, the central officials of the same rank, Fei Qingnu's power was average. Fei Huai struggled hard to fight for "father", but the result was imagined that he failed to participate in the Western Expedition and lost an excellent opportunity to establish merits and become an official. This Eastern Expedition is about to be imminent, and another once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Fei Huai decided not to miss it.
However, fate was a mess, and at this critical moment, disaster fell from the sky. A group of evil thieves burned Xia Ting with fire, burned the canal channel, and directly drove Fei Huai from heaven to hell.
The case was reported to Dongdu. Dongdu was shocked and the emperor was furious. The military and political officials in Qiao County were the first to bear the brunt of the crime. They all had to be punished. At the least, they would be dismissed from office, and at the worst, they would be removed from office and even exiled to beheaded. Therefore, Fei Huai had no choice but to save himself. The only way to save himself was to kill the evil thieves as quickly as possible. If you are lucky, you might be able to avoid prison.
Fei Huai's anger lies in this. A group of evil thieves destroyed his life and shattered his ideals. Now no matter how hard he put in, it is impossible to return to the starting point. What did someone do wrong and would be punished like this? Why is God so unfair to treat someone? But it is meaningless to blame others. Fei Huai could only knock down his teeth and blood, and with his agitated rage, and kill all the evil thieves who destroyed his life.
Just as Fei Huai gritted his teeth, the scout returned and found traces of thieves on the banks of the Suishui River.
Fei Huai was overjoyed and ordered the two regiments of guards to speed up and move forward quickly.

On the banks of the Sui Shui River, Li Fengyun stood with his hands behind his back, his white robe flew, his white hair danced wildly, and his aura was majestic.
Because of sufficient time, with the help of the poor mountain people in Mangdang Mountain, and the "tactic understanding" cooperation of the merchants, boatmen and sailors who were brought in, the rebels and the evacuation was very smooth, and all the looted materials were transported across the river. At this moment, the evacuated team was heading towards Mangdang Mountain along the path of the wilderness.
The first battle was a great victory, killing dozens of enemies and capturing countless enemies, but none of the rebels were killed or injured. This greatly boosted morale. Not only did the prestige of the white-haired handsome man reach a new peak overnight, but the former thieves fully realized the power of the army.
The benefits of working together are not unknown to the thieves, but because they have no organizational discipline, they are all dispersed and their interests are taken into consideration, and they often end up in internal strife. It is better to do personal things, so they can never become a climate. This time, the gathering of Mangdang Mountain was a gathering, but everyone had no hope, but the white-haired prisoners fell from the sky, used bloody means to deter the thieves, formed the rebel army, and achieved amazing results in the first battle. It is not difficult to imagine how big the impact this battle will have on the soldiers of the rebel army, and this impact will have an immeasurable impact on the future development of the rebel army.
Behind Li Fengyun, Mr. Chen San, Xu Shisan, Han Shou and Lu Mingxing gathered together and whispered, with a serious expression.
The scouts who went to Yongcheng to inquire about military information before, Yongcheng Yingyang Mansion dispatched two regiments of troops to Xiating to support. Everyone was surprised. No one expected that the Yongcheng reinforcements were dispatched so quickly. Who delivered the news of the accident in Xiating to Yongcheng as soon as possible? While setting fire to the canal, the rebels had already controlled the station and sent no news. So after thinking about it, there was only one possibility that Xiating also placed a fast horse to convey the message on the other side of the channel.
The scout who just stayed outside Xia Ting to investigate the enemy's situation also returned. Yongcheng reinforcements had arrived at Xia Ting and were expected to chase the Sui River soon. The rebel army had no choice but to block. Although it had agreed to block the Sui River in the original plan, if Yongcheng reinforcements were delayed, the rebel army would have enough time to withdraw to Mangdang Mountain, and there was no need to fight a battle with the pursuers on the Sui River.
"Yongcheng Yingyang Mansion dispatched two regiments, four hundred men and four hundred eagle Yanggu, too many, this battle cannot be fought." Han Shou was uneasy. While pulling the short beard under the jaw, he shouted at Mr. Chen San, "Sir, escape, run away quickly, this battle cannot be fought, we can't beat them."
Mr. Chen San was very embarrassed and wanted to slap him and let him close his stinky mouth.
Lu Mingxing squinted his eyes and looked at the short and conscientious Han Shou, with his eyes showing contempt. A small bandit, a frog in the well, has never seen any world before, and is as timid as a mouse.
Han Shou couldn't tolerate Lu Mingxing and stared at him viciously, "Do you dare to hit? If you dare to hit, then stay. I'll wait for you in Zhang Feizhai..." Suddenly, he felt a cold light sweeping from behind and immediately swallowed the words in his mouth. Lu Mingxing was about to retort, but saw Li Fengyun turn around and look at them, and waved his hand gently.
Xu Shisan took the lead in walking towards Li Fengyun. Mr. Chen San, Han Shou and Lu Mingxing hurriedly followed. The team deputy Guo Ming and Yue Gao, who were lying on the grass in the distance, jumped up and ran over in panic.
"If we don't go back to Mangdang Mountain for the time being, will something happen in Mangdang Mountain?" Li Fengyun asked at Mr. Chen San.
Everyone was puzzled and looked at each other. Mr. Chen San thought for a moment and shook his head, "It should be fine for a day or two. The people in the mountains are quite obedient. Now they have gained benefits and are even more obedient. As for the people who are being held, as long as they enter Zhangfei Village and close the gate, they will be unable to fly. However..." Mr. Chen San hesitated for a moment and suggested, "There are many seizures this time. In case of precautions, I will send some brothers back to the village to ensure safety."
"Good!" Li Fengyun agreed, "When the battle is over, the gentleman will take the two brothers of fire and rush back to the village quickly."
"Where is the coach going?" Han Shou asked impatiently, "Why don't you go back to the mountain?"
Li Fengyun shook his hand, "Don't be impatient, let's talk about it after the battle."
Then he pointed to some rebel brothers who were still busy loading the ship on the other side, "Mr. Yue, please cross the river immediately and tell your brothers that you don't want some messy things left, and serve as something to lure the enemy."
Yue Gao was a tall and burly man. He was a hunter in the mountains. He was so archery that he was so thrifted. After becoming a thief, he was rebellious and killed very heavily. It was not until he met Mr. Chen San that he changed something. Now Li Fengyun is coming to the mountains, and Li Fengyun's fierceness and wildness also convinced him. Especially after the battle last night, he was more convinced of Li Fengyun's ability.
"Will I run away when the official thief comes?" Yue Gao asked.
Li Fengyun nodded, "Run faster, be panicked and throw two boats away." Then he raised his hand and pointed at Guo Ming, "Take some brothers with good water to lurk in the river. When someone surrounds and kills the enemy on the shore, you will sink the ships in the river and drown the enemy soldiers crossing the river to the water."
Guo Ming bowed to accept the order.
"What are the four hundred eagles and guards? The native chickens and dogs." Li Fengyun waved his hand boldly, "Strike it halfway, and it will hurt the enemy severely."
