When Hu Xiaotian was about to leave Wuxing County, Gao Yuan came to meet with a person, but it was Li Changan's junior brother Xia Changming, Hu Xiaotian has been busy dealing with Jiang Zhengyang's affairs in the past two days, and almost forgot about Li Changan's recommendation of his junior brother, and heard that Xia Changming was coming, so he quickly asked Gao Yuan to invite him in.
Xia Changming is younger than Hu Xiaotian expected, just nineteen years old this year, dark complexion, honest appearance, coarse cloth clothes are a little whitish, and there are several extremely conspicuous patches on them, giving people a rather simple feeling, if it weren't for Li Changan's recommendation, Hu Xiaotian would not have noticed this young man who couldn't be found in the crowd.
Of course, Hu Xiaotian would not judge people by their appearance, so he walked over extremely enthusiastically and said with a smile: "Mr.
Xia, I have heard Mr.
Li talk about you for a long time, and I have been waiting for you to arrive for the past two days." ” Xia Changming was not good at communicating, and he looked a little restrained in the face of Hu Xiaotian, so he bowed and said: "Changming see Lord Hu" Hu Xiaotian smiled and nodded, seeing a bamboo flute hanging from his waist, he secretly guessed in his heart, is this bamboo flute used by him to control birds and beasts Gao Yuan saw that Hu Xiaotian and Li Yongfu were going out in this outfit, and said with some curiosity: "Is the son going out?"
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said, "Yes."
Gao Yuan said: "It's better to bring me along" He was still a child after all, and he was very excited when he heard that Hu Xiaotian was going out.
Hu Xiaotian laughed, and his eyes fell on Xia Changming: "Mr.
Xia, come with me" Xia Changming said respectfully: "Changming obeys his fate." ” Hu Xiaotian and the others were on a small warship, carrying a total of sixty people, and the speed of the ship was about thirty miles in an hour, that is to say, it would take about one day and one night to reach the destination Yunze from Wuxing.
Compared with Jiang Zhengyang's team, the speed is much faster.
Hu Xiaotian soon found that his luck was really good, and soon after boarding the boat, it began to snow, although the snow was not large, but it was fluttering and sprinkled over the heavens and the earth, providing excellent cover for their boating.
The flotilla they organized marched in batches.
It was agreed to meet at Luoxia Bay after entering Yunze.
Li Yongfu asked people to set up a small table in the cabin, light the stove, and make a few side dishes, and Hu Xiaotian called Xia Changming and Gao Yuan to come to the cabin to drink together.
Gao Yuan only knew at this time that Hu Xiaotian was heading south along the Wangchun River, not only to enjoy the snow scene, but also to cut off Jiang Zhengyang's escape path.
Li Yongfu is still not sure that Jiang Zhengyang will definitely flee with food, but since Hu Xiaotian is so determined, he can only choose to believe it, judging from the previous two battles.
Hu Xiaotian's judgment is still extremely correct.
Hu Xiaotian had already guessed Li Yongfu's thoughts from some of his performances, in fact, this is understandable, after all, Jiang Zhengyang has not shown any signs of rebellion until now, and he can only use facts to verify his guesses, so that these doubtful soldiers can be convinced of themselves.
Li Yongfu said: "Lord, if Jiang Zhengyang really rebels, he has nearly 30,000 people under his command, plus 5,000 soldiers and horses in Baiquan City.
That's 35,000 people, and about 8,000 water thieves in Heishui Village in Bixin Mountain.
Their total strength will be more than 40,000, but we only have 6,000 men, so there is a huge disparity in strength. ” Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "It's not the first time that we have fought a battle with a huge disparity in strength, not to mention that we don't need to fight them head-on this time, Jiang Zhengyang's 30,000 and Baiquan City's 5,000 don't have to worry about them at all, if my judgment is correct."
Jiang Zhengyang will transport these 100,000 stone grains to Yunze Bixin Mountain, as long as we cut off this waterway, Jiang Zhengyang's group of people will be trapped on the shore. ” Li Yongfu said: "Even the power of the eight thousand water thieves in Heishui Village should not be underestimated. ” Gao Yuan said: "It is impossible for them to come out, if Jiang Zhengyang colludes with the water thieves, the main purpose of the water thieves in Heishui Village is to transport grain and troops."
Except for the necessary sailors, they would try to lighten the load and keep the ship empty, and only then could they carry as much food as they could. ” Gao Yuan's words made Li Yongfu feel ashamed, as an experienced sailor general, his knowledge was not as good as that of a child, and he didn't expect such a simple truth.
Hu Xiaotian saw Li Yongfu's embarrassment, patted him on the shoulder and said: "A wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts, this water battle Yongfu Brother must plan as soon as possible, we strive to defeat the fleet sent to meet them before Jiang Zhengyang and the water thieves in Heishui Village meet, and cut off Jiang Zhengyang's back road." ” Li Yongfu said: "It's just that now we don't know the situation in Yunze, and we lack understanding of the movements of those black water village water thieves. ” Xia Changming, who had not spoken, spoke at this time: "Lord Hu, Changming is not willing to go to inquire about the military situation. ” Hu Xiaotian looked up at Xia Changming, Xia Changming smiled a little embarrassedly: "I have a way to go back and forth to Yunze in two hours to check the specific situation over there." ” Li Yongfu was dumbfounded, and said in his heart that this kid is not talking nonsense, it is about two hundred and thirty miles from their current location to Yunze, and he can go back and forth within two hours, how is it possible.
I don't know how the lord recruited this kind of talent from there seems to be loyal, how can he not blush when he talks big.
Hu Xiaotian was convinced of Xia Changming's words, he once rode the snow sculpture with Li Changan, the flight speed of the snow sculpture should be more than two hundred miles, and it can fly a distance of four hundred miles in one hour. nodded immediately and said, "Changming, then it's hard for you." ” Xia Changming came to the bow of the boat after saying goodbye, he did not use the bamboo flute on his waist, but circled the index finger and thumb of his right hand into his mouth, and blew a loud whistle, Hu Xiaotian and several people came out to see the excitement, Hu Xiaotian looked up, but saw that in the snow, two white lights were projected downward like electricity, but they were two huge snow sculptures, each with a wingspan of about two zhang, one of the snow sculptures swooped to the right side of the ship, Xia Changming totoes, his body flew up in the air, and landed steadily on the back of the snow sculpture, Another snow sculpture led the way, and the two snow sculptures flew out along the Wangchun River one after the other, and disappeared from everyone's field of vision in a blink of an eye.
Li Yongfu's tongue stretched out halfway, and he couldn't retract it for a long time, at this time he knew that the world was so big, thinking of what he thought just now, he couldn't help but have a fever, it was because he had eyes and didn't know Mount Tai, and he couldn't imagine that this Xia Changming was so powerful.
Hu Xiaotian is also the first time to see Xia Changming control the snow sculpture, and control two at the same time, it should be to improve efficiency, exchange and use halfway, just by Xia Changming's means just revealed, it can be concluded that although he is young, the level of beast control has been perfected, even if it is not as good as his senior brother Li Changan, it should not be far away, Hu Xiaotian was overjoyed in his heart, although Li Chang'an recommended Xia Changming to himself for the purpose of repaying his kindness, but a talent like Xia Changming is really rare, Hu Xiaotian's side lacked a beast master who could control birds and beasts, and Xia Changming's appearance not only greatly improved his intelligence spying, but also supplemented his lack of troops.
Gao Yuan looked at Xia Changming's direction with envy, and muttered, "I must worship him as a teacher another day and learn how to ride birds from him." ” Hu Xiaotian said with a smile: "You have a specialization in the art industry, and your carriage is also good." ” Gao Yuan blushed and said: "How can driving a car be compared to riding a hawk?"
Jiang Zhengyang's grain convoy is only a hundred miles away from Baiquan City, the closer to Yunze, the more excited Jiang Zhengyang's heart is, it is really the favor of God, before he gave up face, put down his self-esteem and sent people to Dongliang County to borrow grain, but Hu Xiaotian refused mercilessly, he was ready to attack Wuxing County at all costs to grab grain, but he didn't expect that the old emperor actually handed over the beauty of escorting grain to himself.
Long Xuanen, Long Xuanen, you are really an old fool, the food is in my hands, do you still want me to hand it over Jiang Zhengyang couldn't help but sneer.
Hu Xiaotian is not as shrewd as rumored by the outside world, he actually handed over the 100,000 stone grain to himself without warning, Jiang Zhengyang looked at the endless grain convoy in front of him, his heart was so warm and down-to-earth, with this 100,000 stone grain, the army under his command had no worries for the time being.
The imperial court didn't know that he had reached an agreement with Guo Guangbi in Xingzhou, and he didn't know that Yunze Heishuizhai had already taken refuge in Guo Guangbi.
In Jiang Zhengyang and Guo Guangbi's plan, his first step was to transport the grain to Yunze Bixin Mountain, after adjustment, when the soldiers under his command recovered their state, they would assemble a large army and attack Wuxing County from the south, at the same time, Guo Guangbi would send troops from Xingzhou, and the two sides would work together to take Wuxing County and completely control the situation on the south bank of the Yongjiang River, and Hu Xiaotian's 300,000 stone grain of filial piety to the imperial court could not escape from his palm.
A general behind him caught up with him, came to Jiang Zhengyang's side and hugged his fists and said, "Lord Jiang, there are no chasing soldiers from Wuxing County. ” Jiang Zhengyang nodded: "Very good." ” The general said: "Wuxing County mobilized the sailors to go up the river and go in the direction of Yunyang, probably attracted by the transfer of troops and horses from Xingzhou. ” Jiang Zhengyang snorted, his heart was full of pride, Hu Xiaotian, Hu Xiaotian, you are still too tender after all, how can my plan be that you can perceive and despise Hu Xiaotian At the same time, Jiang Zhengyang was amazed by Guo Guangbi's foresight, and defecting to Guo Guangbi was also his helpless choice, at first he looked down on Guo Guangbi in his heart, thinking that this guy was just a peasant who had gone lucky, but the development of Guo Guangbi's peasant made Jiang Zhengyang impressed, he not only successfully occupied Xingzhou, but organized an army of 30,000, and in the follow-up development continues to grow, now the strength of the army is close to 60,000, in today's world, commanding an army of 60,000 may not be nothing, but to be able to take such a team to eat and dress is a very remarkable thing.
