入暮之后,吃饱喝足休息好了的义军进驻陶驿.

The system of post stations in this dynasty is very developed, with nearly 2,000 offices, all of which are set up on the main line of water and land transportation. There are 30 miles of posts and express express delivery. Not only does it transmit official documents and military information, but it also assumes the responsibility of welcoming and sending passers-by officials and special envoys. Due to the huge financial expenditure of the post station, the court was overwhelmed. In order to ensure operation, the post station was appointed by the local Haowang, and appointed them as post station generals or post station generals ("Catch" means mastery, which means presidency). In addition to maintaining the normal operation of the post station, the post station generals are also responsible for investing in filling the losses of the post station. In order to compensate for the losses of the post station generals, the court allowed them to engage in commercial activities within the legal scope, "using merchants to make up for losses", which is profitable. Since it is profitable, of course it is flocked to it. The developed post station system not only brings considerable economic benefits to the post station, but also allows them to obtain information.

韩曜是谯郡有名的豪望,在谯郡的军政两界和黑白两道都有很大势力,当然会染指“驿站”之利.自古至今什么钱最好赚?朝廷官府的钱最好赚.韩曜在谯郡属于有权有势又有钱的贵族精英,岂能不赚些既安全又轻松的钱?

陶驿,正是韩曜的某个“小弟”所经营.这位“小弟”是个小土豪,今夜正好在馆驿里.之所以亲自坐镇馆驿,是因为他得到了从永城传来的消息,好像夏亭那边出了大事,运河航道中断了,永城鹰扬府连夜出动了军队,估计与某些胆大包天的盗贼劫掠水道有关系.

The interruption of the waterway is an extraordinary event and affects the vital interests of many people. Some people will lose their official hats because of the delay in the itinerary, and some people will be imprisoned because of the delay in the itinerary and failed to complete the tasks assigned by the government within the specified time. Therefore, the atmosphere in Yongcheng is very tense. From the boatman and sailor on the Jinkou Wharf to the military and political officials of Yingyang Prefecture of the county government, everyone is anxiously waiting for the latest news from Xia Ting, and the inn responsible for conveying the news naturally became the focus of attention.

小土豪好不容易才谋到这份“差事”,非常珍惜,担心出事,于是亲自坐镇馆驿.谁知这边屁股刚刚坐下,那边就突然冒出来一支鹰扬府的军队,而带领这支军队的军官恰好就是小土豪的恩主韩曜.

小土豪认识韩曜,韩曜则对他没什么印象.韩曜的兄弟朋友门生故吏太多,而这些人的后面又跟着一帮混吃混喝的“小弟”,做为高高在上的韩曜,整日里忙忙碌碌,哪有时间认识许多无关紧要的小人物?

小土豪很识趣,致礼之后就要退下.韩曜是永城鹰扬府的司马,深夜带着一支军队出现在永城城外,当然不是无聊闲逛,肯定有大事要干.他一个小人物,想掺合都没有资格,还是老老实实躲在一边看热闹吧.

韩曜却把他喊住了,叫他笔墨伺侯.小土豪匆忙拿来笔墨纸砚.韩曜随即草拟了一份书信,然后递给李风云过目.

The content of the letter is very straightforward. Han Yao told his brothers, friends, his disciples and former officials that the bandits in Mangdang Mountain robbed Xia Ting, interrupted the canal channel, and killed a group of Yingyangwei on the banks of the Suishui River. Unfortunately, he was captured and was "framed" by the thieves. In a blink of an eye, he became the "internal responder" of the thieves, thus completely pushing himself and his forces in Qiao County into the abyss of death. Now, not rebelling is waiting for death, and there is still a glimmer of hope for rebellion, so in a desperate situation, he can only rebel to save himself. Han Yao told them that if he is willing to follow him to rebel, he should hurry to the coast of Tongji Canal and meet with him. On the contrary, he can only pray to God and die.

Li Fengyun looked carefully and asked, "How many days will Sima take?"

When the rebel army captured Yongcheng, Fei Huai would inevitably lead the army back as soon as possible. With the power of the rebel army, of course, he could not fight head-on with it. He could only fight guerrillas and run with the "noses" of Yingyang Mansion to find new attacks on the enemy. However, the Zuo Xiaowei Mansion in Pengcheng would soon recruit Xu, Yingyang from Henan and surrounded and killed the enemy on all sides. The rebel army's circumvention and movement would quickly become smaller. For this reason, the rebel army must plunder the heavy army before the Zuo Xiaowei Mansion in Pengcheng dispatched troops to suppress the rebellion and suppress the rebellion, and quickly develop and strengthen the rebel army. Therefore, Li Fengyun wanted to know how many days it would take Han Yao to gather all his strength in Qiao County. This was directly related to when the rebel army would plunder the heavy army and what strategy the rebel army would use to deal with the pursuit of Yingyang Mansion in Yongcheng.

Han Yao thought for a moment, stretched out one hand, opened his five fingers, "up to five days."

Li Fengyun nodded slightly.

"But the situation in Qiao County is deteriorating. The two sides of Tongji Canal will gather the troops of Yongcheng Yingyang Mansion and Qiaocheng Yingyang Mansion." Han Yao continued, "If you want someone to complete this successfully, you must transfer the troops of the two Yingyang Mansions of Qiao County from both sides of Tongji Canal within the next five days. Otherwise, your plan will be very likely to fail."

Li Fengyun nodded again and agreed with what Han Yao said, but he did not give an answer or made any promises to Han Yao.

Li Fengyun handed the manuscript to Chen Rui. Chen Rui glanced at it and immediately said that this was not good or not. Han Yao was so angry that his face turned pale and wished he could pick up the inkstone and beat him to death.

Li Fengyun felt very upset and took the manuscript from Chen Rui and handed it back to Han Yao, "Time is tight, please deal with it quickly."

Han Yao glared at Chen Rui fiercely, and immediately wrote a letter at his desk and copied it.

Li Fengyun pointed at Chen Rui, "Sir, please help copy it. There are still major things to do at night. Don't delay it for too long, so as not to have more accidents when dreaming about the night."

Chen Rui could cause trouble for Han Yao, but he dared not to sell Li Fengyun's face. Besides, he would fight Yongcheng tonight, and this place was close to Yongcheng. The rebels were wearing military uniforms and pretending to be Yingyangwei and walked around here swaggeringly. Once exposed, the consequences would be unimaginable. So Chen Rui took away the thought of teasing Han Yao, agreed, and sat down to copy the letter.

The little rich man stood beside him and was frightened. He glanced at the mighty and fierce Li Fengyun from time to time, thinking that this person must be the Shangguan of the benefactor, and might be the Yingyang Lang General of Yingyang Mansion in Yongcheng. However, he had never heard of a young general with white hair in Yongcheng. Could this person be a Hu people in the Hu family? It happened that Li Fengyun spoke with a Dongdu accent. The little rich man immediately guessed that this person might have just come from Dongdu, so he had never heard of it.

Soon, Han Yao and Chen Rui copied more than 20 letters. The little rich man helped to encapsulate them, and then covered them with Han Yao's seal after the wax seal.

"Send it away immediately." Han Yao specifically instructed the archery staff, "I'm so anxious, don't make any mistakes."

The little rich man rarely showed his hand in front of his benefactor and agreed with his chest. Although he did not see the content in the letter and he did not dare to read it, it can be seen from the serious expressions of Han Yao and the white-haired general that these letters are very important, and vaguely, he felt that something big was going to happen in Qiao County, because these letters were all written by Han Yao to his relatives and friends, and they were all within the boundary of Qiao County. The farthest place was only more than 300 miles away from Taoist Post and could be delivered in one day.

What big thing is going to happen that makes Han Yao 100,000 anxiously mobilize all his forces in Qiao County? The little tyrant is puzzled and worried. He is also one of Han Yao's forces. Although he is a little tyrant, he has a little land and runs a restaurant and office. It is inconspicuous and insignificant, but it is closely related to Han Yao's power. Once Han Yao has done something bad, it will inevitably affect his little interests. The big white horse robbery has shocked the big rivers and the east county Zhai Rang became famous overnight, and Zhai Rang's power in Dongjun is just like Han Yao's strength in Qiao County. Both of them are noble elites, both of whom are black and white in the local area, and they rely on Tongji Canal to do illegal activities. If you often walk by the river, how can you not be wet? If you do too many bad things, you will always be unlucky. Zhai Rang is unlucky, will Han Yao also be unlucky? The little tyrant thinks about it, the more afraid he is, and panic.

The little tyrant watched Han Yao and the white-haired general cross the river and went to Yongcheng. Standing on the trestle bridge, the little tyrant prayed secretly for Han Yao, hoping that Han Yao would be safe and safe for the rest of his life and would always be able to protect him. However, his prayers were soon destroyed, and he had to subvert his life and follow Han Yao to the darkness.

Before the rebel army went down the mountain, Li Fengyun sent two scouts to Yongcheng to inquire about military information. One of the scouts rushed to the banks of Suishui River this morning to meet with the rebel army and reported to Li Fengyun that Yingyang Mansion in Yongcheng had dispatched troops to Xiating. Then Li Fengyun decided to attack Yongcheng, so he sent the scout to Yongcheng to inquire about military information. Before the rebel army crossed the river, the two scouts rushed to Taoist art together and reported to Li Fengyun that Yingyang Mansion in Yongcheng had dispatched two more regiments to Xiating in the afternoon. In other words, Li Fengyun's prediction was correct, and all the troops of Yingyang Mansion in Yongcheng were dispatched to Xiating. Now Yongcheng is equivalent to an empty city. As long as you find a way to open the city gate, Yongcheng can get it at your fingertips.

As always, Li Fengyun called several leaders together before the war and discussed it together. This was conducive to unifying everyone's understanding and thinking, and also to improving the combat skills and military literacy of these local thieves. In the future, the development of the rebel army will expand. As the founders of the rebel army, these local thieves will naturally occupy the position of commander. If they cannot use war instead of training and quickly improve their combat level, how can they survive and develop?

With Han Yao leading the way, fighting Yongcheng should be clean and neat, and going down in one go. This is the common idea of ​​several leaders of the rebel army, but things did not go smoothly as everyone imagined. It is not that Yongcheng is not easy to fight, but that Li Fengyun and Han Yao had differences on the strategy of attacking Yongcheng.
