Chapter 155: The Wind Rises
The weather is clear, the sun is shining, the mountains are lush and lush.
In the wind and clouds, several carrier pigeons flapped their wings and flew high, flew across the mountains and steep mountains, and headed south.
Suddenly, a black shadow came from above, as fast as lightning, hitting a gray pigeon.
However, a raptor successfully attacked the prey and grabbed the gray pigeon and flew elsewhere. The other two raptors hovering in the sky began to dive after seeing the target.
The remaining few pigeons scattered around, avoiding the attack, rising and falling, left and right, drilling into the valley, hovering in the clouds and mist, avoiding the "pursuing soldiers".
After getting rid of the "pursuing soldiers", two of them turned around and headed west.
The goal I went to was a small fishing village on the east side of the big lake, with a white boulder beside it.
The remaining feathers continued to fly south.
As we flew, the Linxing Basin began to appear among the mountains. After a while, a large area of flat ground suddenly appeared below, among which a city was a city.
The city is surrounded by starry kilns, and black smoke rose into the sky. From a distance, it seems that there is a fire in the area where the city is located, surrounded by fireworks.
On the edge of the city, there is a river that goes east and west. On the dock by the river, there are a large number of ships berthed, and people like ants load boxes one by one.
The carrier pigeons continued to fly forward, over the river, the mountains turned into hills, and then turned into large fields.
Among the vast fields, there are countless busy figures, which are dotted with villages, manors, and ditches and winding roads.
The carrier pigeon flew and saw his home.
Their home is next to a manor, with pavilions and towers and warm nests.
At this time, there were crowds of people in the manor. On a clearing, many people lined up in neat rows, shouting slogans and waving sticks in their hands.
The dusty carrier pigeons hovered outside the manor, and saw the home surrounded by many companions and quickly approached.
Finally, we got home smoothly.
The carrier pigeons from afar went home and saw their companions who had been away for many days and started to scream happily.
The man on duty in the pigeon loft saw this and quickly stepped forward and took off the reed tube tied to the legs of the returning pigeon.
Together with my companions, I carefully looked at the number on the pigeon's leg ring, made the registration, put a few reed tubes in a small wooden box, locked them, then left the yard and walked to a place in the manor.
They passed by the hot playground, the sweaty gym, the shooting range that broke through the sky, and were counting the inventory warehouse and coming to a yard.
The reed tube was taken out and notes were drawn out. Someone used a magnifying glass to copy the densely written secret texts on it and "translate".
The translation result was quickly presented to Zhang Gulu, the governor of the Li family.
Zhang Gulu, who was over 40 years old, spent more than twenty years in Liang Kingdom, and changed from a young man with thick hair to a middle-aged man with sparse head.
However, the sharp eyes, strong body, and awe-inspiring murderous aura have not been worn away by time.
He frowned and read all the news carefully. Then he stretched his eyebrows, a smile appeared on his face, and ordered to his followers: "Bang the drum, call them, and go to the chamber to discuss the matter."
"Yes." A follower stepped down, Zhang Hu looked at the paper with the words "translation" and murmured:
"This day has finally arrived."
The flying pigeon's letters can allow people thousands of miles away to communicate, which is very magical. Of course, the premise is that they must have the pigeons raised by the other party's location.
The news that Zhang Lu has received now comes from Huaiyin. The leader Li Li ordered the team to be summoned to prepare for the war.
Originally [Haitang Bookstore www.htsw.info], Zhang Gulu knew it before, but now it is just confirmed.
Not long ago, the emperor passed away and had no children. However, the empress, Zhang Guiren, was pregnant and several months later, he might be able to give birth to a posthumous son for the emperor.
Therefore, the Empress Dowager, the father of the empress, Grand Sima, and Pengcheng Duke Li Li, governor of the military affairs of China and abroad, and ensures the stability of the situation and the issue of the throne, must wait until the empress and Concubine Zhang are about to give birth.
After the news came out, after a brief silence, the royal kings who were out of town responded: they would not suffer from their lives.
Now, the kings raised their troops "unanimously" and the banner they raised was "recruiting the army under the secret order of the Empress Dowager to kill the traitor Li Li."
The kings issued a manifesto claiming that after the emperor passed away, Li Li put down the empress dowager and the king of Jiangxia, usurped power, and had a ill intention.
The Empress Dowager took the risk of writing a secret edict, asking the palace servants to take them out of the palace, and took the empress dowager with her jade pendant as a guarantee to ask the kings for help.
Therefore, the governor of Dongyangzhou, Xiao Huili, King of Nankang, the governor of Wujun, and Xiao Daxin, King of Yi'an, rose up to "super the king".
This is the Sanwu area.
In the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, as well as in the Jiangmian area, the governor of Jiangzhou and the king of Xiyang, Xiao Dajun, raised an army to "rescue the king".
The responding royal families included the governor of Sizhou, King Xiao Shao of Changsha, the governor of Yingzhou, and King Xiao Dalin of the South China Sea.
The governor of Jingzhou, King Anlu, Xiao Dachun, the governor of Xiangzhou, Xiao Dawei, King Wuning, the governor of Yongzhou, and Xiao Dazhuang, the newly emerging king.
It can be said that in addition to the Lianghuai, Henan, Qingyan, and Mianbei regions with unknown positions, most of the kings of the Liang Kingdom, the vassal kings in the main areas of the Liang Kingdom opposed Li Li's military command and military affairs in China and abroad.
The kings raised their troops and their momentum were very powerful and seemed unstoppable.
Zhang Gulu looked at the sunny weather outside the window and sneered.
A group of dogs guarding the house, not even a hunting dog, dared to challenge the tiger.
No matter how many royal family members are incompatible with military affairs, it is useless.
When fighting, it is not the better the more people. When a group of waste gathers, it is still a group of waste.
Zhang Gulu believed that even if Lang didn't need to take the initiative, the team raised by Poyang could deal with these playboys.
The drum sounded, shocking. Zhang Yun picked up the paper, put it in a "folder", and took it out of the room and headed towards the conference hall.
Li Li has left office since the Poyang Internal History and left Poyang for more than ten years and has not returned to his hometown during this period.
However, it does not mean that there is no one here in Poyang.
When Hanshan Mountain in Xuzhou became Li Li's second hometown, the roots of the Li family in Poyang did not wither, but became increasingly dense and deeper into the ground.
A large number of veterans, troops, children from Poyang, and disabled soldiers who followed Li Li to fight everywhere did not really get rid of their troops and return to the fields after returning to Poyang, but instead assumed the role of "backbone".
These people, as the backbone of an army, were organized and gathered regularly, discussed, learned or reviewed how to better fight and win battles.
The number of such a backbone is unknown to outsiders, but Zhang Gulu is roughly clear.
Not counting the Li family's army, this backbone team has a total of 3,000 people.
According to the system of sergeants in charge of the army, a sergeant (veteran) brought five people to expand the army, taking the Li family army as generals, and Poyang children (many of whom had participated in the war or served as caravan guards) as soldiers.
In an instant, there was an army with a force of 15,000, with decent combat experience and able to fight tough battles.
The soldiers were all wearing hard and holding sharp edges. In addition, there were a large number of Pengli Lake fishermen who could organize to form a naval army.
Of course, this temporary army was not as good as the Xuzhou army. It is hard to say that the army led by the weak royal family was definitely successful, but it is still difficult to lose.
Not to mention, the Langzhu had already arranged the troops. Even if the Poyang soldiers who were in charge did not have reinforcements sent by the center, they would not fight alone.
In the conference hall, Zhang Gulu looked at familiar faces, raised the "document" in his hand, and announced loudly: "The Lord of the Lang has an order, summon the team and prepare for war!!"
Then, the paper with the message was distributed so that everyone could know what are the main enemies they were going to deal with now.
The members of the congregation already knew the current situation, so they were not surprised by what was bound to happen, but were excited: after the bloody storm, it was the man who won, and they were the ones who won.
After a moment, someone asked, "Where is the King of Poyang? Is the King of Poyang listening to the court or want to rebel?"
