Chapter 661 Two people want to see you
The creaking sound of the carriage outside gradually faded away, and Jiang Chong was the only one left in the tea shed.
Looking at the pills in his hand, Jiang Chong's eyes slowly lit up.
A word to wake up the dreamer!
Who said that there is only one way to go to Huashan?
No matter what kind of force it is, it can never be monolithic internally. It is normal for there to be many mountains. There is no mountain top, which is a strange thing.
Even if everyone has the same goal and can generally seek common ground while reserving differences, they will have different demands and interests on the way forward.
Xiao Changche and Jiang Qian are both Li Dachui's women.
On the ultimate goal of helping Li Dachui win the final victory, the two naturally agreed.
But these two people will naturally become rivals, whether now or in the future.
I have indeed offended Jiang Qian and cannot gain a foothold in Jiangnan,
But this would be the best reason for Xiao Changche to accept him.
What's more, I have the strength,
The Jiang family is also powerful,
He spent real money to support Xiao Changche, so who can say anything?
He raised his hand, threw the pill into his mouth, and swallowed it whole. In a moment, he felt a warm current flowing through his limbs, and his whole body felt as if he was soaking in a bucket of warm water.
Fu Qingzhu's medicine is indeed miraculous.
You really should go see Li Dachui.
Jiang Chong looked at the steamed buns that had been roasted into charcoal in the fire pit, picked them up, rubbed them with his hands, and turned them into a pile of black powder. He took out a handkerchief from his arms and wrapped it up carefully.
The old tea seller said it was effective, so I might as well give it a try.
He stood up and opened the shed. The wind and snow were blowing in his face, but Jiang Chong didn't feel so cold anymore.
Looking at the two ruts heading into the distance, Jiang Chong smiled, turned around and strode away in the other direction.
Xiangyang was Li Dachui's top priority in protecting the territory south of the Yangtze River. In order to ensure sufficient power here, Li Dachui did not hesitate to abandon Nanyang.
The 5,000 Huben troops led by Li Xiu abandoned Nanyang and retreated to Xiangyang. Then, based on these 5,000 people, they formed a force of 20,000 people, with 15,000 people stationed in Xiangcheng and 5,000 people guarding Fancheng.
Li Xiu is in charge of the overall situation here in Xiangcheng, while Lu Xiong and Chen Wan, a couple from the Demon Cult, are in charge of the Fancheng side. Among them, Lu Xiong was in charge of Fancheng's military affairs, while Chen Wan was in charge of contacting the demon sect lurking in Nanyang.
In the past six months, no matter how the war in the south was, or how short of money and supplies, Xiangyang's military expansion, preparations for war, city defense rectification, and city wall reinforcement had never stopped.
Coupled with a naval team of up to fifty main warships that have been stationed here,
Compared with Xiangcheng when He Zudao took control, now it can be said that it is a world of old and new.
In particular, the cable bridge that is being built across the river to connect the two cities of Xiangfan is even more eye-catching.
"It will take another year!" Li Xiudao said: "After one year, the iron cable bridge will be repaired, and the two cities of Xiangfan and Xiangfan will be connected as one. At that time, the troops and horses of the two cities can be mobilized freely. Coupled with the superiority of the navy, Xiangfan will truly It can be called impregnable! ”
"How's morale?"
"Soldiers eat food and pay, the military guards provide sufficient salary and silver, and food is provided well. What do you have to be dissatisfied about?" Li Xiu said with a smile.
"Where is the Huben army?" Li Dachui asked: "As far as I know, the Huben army comes from all over Chu. Now that we are hostile to Chu, what do they think? Are there any signs of instability?"
"When the Queen Mother formed the Huben Army, she had a more comprehensive consideration!" Li Xiudao said: "All Huben officers and soldiers, except for the main officers, are required to be neither single members of the family nor have a family. Because once there is concern, When fighting, you will inevitably have worries, and it will be difficult to move forward bravely. "I really didn't know about this rule!" Li Dachui said with a smile.
"Once the sergeants of the Huben Army get married, they can only be transferred or retire!" Li Xiu said with a smile: "The treatment of the Huben Army is very good, and many soldiers have been reluctant to leave! So even if we fall out with the Chu State, the soldiers will not It doesn’t matter, because they are always loyal to only one person.”
"Understood!" Li Dachui nodded. "In the past, there was Li Guohua in Dongdu, a calm and sophisticated opponent, but now he has been replaced by Cui Cheng. According to intelligence from all parties, this man has a lot of ambition in his temperament. Moreover, he failed to compete with his younger brother for the head of the family, which caused even more stir. Fighting to prove their motives. Many children of such aristocratic families regard war as a game. They don’t think too much about the impact, and they only care about whether it is beneficial to them!”
"Xiangyang has been preparing for battle and has never slacked off for a day!" Li Xiu said solemnly.
"General Li also participated in the Battle of Xiangyang?" Li Dachui asked with a smile.
Li Xiu nodded: "Yes, but I was just a captain at that time. In that battle, success or failure was really only a matter of a thought. We already thought we were going to fail, but we never expected that defeat would turn into victory in the end. The Queen Mother persistence , let us wait for the opportunity, which is why the Queen Mother has won the support of countless people in Dachu. If we lose that battle, the Qin army will definitely be able to march straight in and capture Jingxiang, and the Chu country will be destroyed. ! ”
Li Dachui naturally knew about these past events.
It can be said that without the reversal of the Xiangyang War, He Qiu succeeded, and the Qin Dynasty could continue to last, and Linghuye could only continue to squat outside the pass and be the local emperor, and he was just a horse bandit. Just the boss.
This battle changed the fate of many people.
It even changed the fate of Chu and Qin. Of course, Beiyuan was the first to bear the brunt. Now the country no longer exists.
This battle is destined to leave a mark in the history books.
Some people will be remembered in history, while others will be infamy for eternity.
But at that time, everyone believed that their choice was the right one and the most beneficial to them.
Many things can really only be settled by time, and history can be used to evaluate merits and demerits.
Wearing jingle bells behind them, the two of them turned around and saw Zhang Qingyun approaching.
"Zhang Zhangyuan!" Li Xiu bowed and saluted. Li Xiu stayed away from the woman in front of him.
Li Xiu had cooperated with a group of guys from Zhiqiuyuan such as Cao Hui. These fierce men were as submissive to Zhang Qingyun and would never show any disobedience, so they allowed Li Xiu to get a glimpse of Zhang Qingyun. This person is not simple.
Therefore, although Zhang Qingyun was always polite and gentle to Li Xiu, Li Xiu still did not dare to lack any courtesy and made up her mind not to have any contact unless necessary.
Anyway, he and Zhang Qingyun are not in the same system.
"Protector, please talk to Zhang Zhangyuan. I will go and see the horse building over there. If you need anything, please call me!" Li Xiu said with a smile.
Looking at Li Xiu's leaving figure, Li Dachui smiled and said: "I, this person, seem to be a little afraid of you!"
"Whatever!" Zhang Qingyun pouted and said, "Protector, I just received two posts through different channels, both of which invite you to meet."
"Who?"
"One is Jiang Chong!"
"Where's the other one?"
"The other person is Linghuye!"
"What?" Li Dachui turned around in surprise and looked at Zhang Qingyun.
