Chapter 19 Killing Chenzhou
With the same long waterway, the atmosphere at this time is naturally completely different from when I came.
Lin Feng also intentionally relaxed the military discipline on the warships. Before leaving, he distributed several jars of good wine to each ship. This decision surprised the 20,000 soldiers who returned with the ship, and the sound of cheers echoed one after another along the way.
After the intentional or unintentional spread of the original special forces warriors during this period, the passionate "A Laugh of the Sea" has become a song that every soldier must sing when drinking. If he keeps listening to it on the shore, he will find that this song is basically singed from the beginning to the end of the boat. At night, each ship echoes from the distance. As long as one ship leads to sing it, it will eventually evolve into a chorus of the whole army.
Of course, Lin Feng would not indulge himself so much.
In addition to being crazy with everyone on the evening of the 8th, Lin Feng led all the special forces soldiers, elite soldiers and ethnic minority soldiers who entered the 100th selection competition, and resumed arduous special training.
Nearly five hundred people followed the 200 warships, with the waterway as the center line, crossed mountains and ridges, crossed forests and valleys, and swam across waters, consciously conducted various types of field training; when they were resting at night, they strengthened basic swordsmanship, formations, and fighting training. Although they were very tired, Lin Feng was always very excited. These newly acquired special forces soldiers had good physical fitness. Even Luo Feifeng, Zhang Hongling and the others walked on the mountain roads as if they were walking on flat ground, and they never lag behind in fighting training, which made many soldiers from the elite Chu and Tang troops sigh.
The fleet sailed out of Lishui, turned to Lingqu, and then into Xiangjiang River. It took five days to reach Yongzhou. Under Yongzhou City, Lin Feng met Feng Jingyun and Liu Qi who came to report the news.
Lin Feng pulled the two of them, called Zhou Xingfeng, walked to Liu Renshan's cabin, and listened to the detailed process of the chaos in Tanzhou City together.
After listening to the wonderful and tortuous process, Zhou Xingfeng and Liu Renshan were the first to applaud and sigh.
Lin Feng praised Feng Jingyun and the others and immediately asked: "What is the current situation in Tanzhou City?"
Feng Jingyun replied excitedly: "After we post a notice of exempting taxes for three years, the people inside and outside the city rushed to tell us. Every day, the people came to the military camp to deliver things to express their gratitude! After the disbanded new recruits returned about one-third, and were undergoing reorganization training at the same time as the soldiers in the former Tanzhou. The court was led by the elder Tuoba Heng and operated normally."
Lin Feng was only truly relieved and then asked: "Where is Ningyuan Army, Langzhou, Chenzhou?"
"Lin Renzhao, Xi Mucheng has led 2,000 troops to Ningyuan Army, preparing to be polite first and then troops! The Langzhou direction sent Ma Bin as the leader, and it has been five days since he set out. I believe Ma Guanghui will make a wise choice! As for Chenzhou, Liu Yan and Pan Long joined forces, and they really rebelled!" Feng Jingyun continued to answer.
Zhou Xingfeng, Liu Renshan's expression of excitement calmed down, and he looked at Lin Feng together.
"After we came back, we chose two Tujia soldiers from the Zhao Ye tribe and rushed to Chenzhou to report the news, saying that the war in Guizhou had failed. Soon afterwards, the two of them rushed back to report, and Pan Long and Liu Yan were just a slap. After discussing, they really raised the flag and rebelled and called themselves Han State!" Feng Jingyun said with a sneering face.
I really know how to join in the fun! There is a Han in the north and a Han in the south. Now, Liu Yan has created a Han in the middle of Chenzhou (now Yuanling County, Huaihua City, Hunan Province). It is really ridiculous.
"After having a strange intention, it can't be concealed!" Lin Feng glanced at Zhou Xingfeng intentionally or unintentionally. Zhou Xingfeng pretended not to pay attention, but a layer of cold sweat had already appeared on his body.
Lin Feng adjusted his sitting posture and said contemptuously: "It's not a fear of being a little slut! Liu Envoy, please lead a large army back to Tanzhou to sit in the formation and wait for good news! Feng Jingyun followed me, and we will lead 5,000 troops to quell the Chenzhou rebellion!"
"Mr. Lin, it's not appropriate!" Everyone in the cabin exclaimed and said he would stop him.
"It's okay! Liu Qi, you go back to report the message. After returning to Tanzhou, let Chen Desheng lead the special soldiers in the city to sneak into Chenzhou first, and I will arrive later!" Lin Feng said carelessly.
In Lin Feng's opinion, the five thousand elite soldiers plus the five hundred special warriors who are like wolves and tigers are already very proud of Liu Yan!
He counted his fingers and counted. The countries around Chenzhou could not reach out to him. Houshu in the west never cared about external affairs. Nanping, which was not adjacent to the north, was even a rogue. He didn't even throw away the Southern Tang and Northern Han, and would help a small Chenzhou? In this way, the people who could be tricked by Liu Yan on the pirate ship were nothing more than the ethnic minorities on the surrounding mountains. Now, as long as the news of the complete victory of the Guizhou battle spread, let alone a small number of Yi soldiers, I am afraid that even Pan Long should be scared away!
Liu Renshan looked at Lin Feng with some concern, and gave Zhou Xingfeng a wink, no longer persuading Lin Feng.
After the major agreement, Lin Feng immediately tightened the military discipline. All the soldiers gathered in a group to disembark and marched forcibly, casually telling the people along the way that our army had returned from a great victory!
Walking along the Xiang River, the huge warship team and majestic infantry military power have long attracted the attention of everyone along the coast. When they heard the verbal propaganda of the soldiers on the shore, the people naturally knew the news that the Tang army had won the great victory in Guizhou, and also learned that the road to Lingnan had been opened, especially the great news that the Tang Dynasty exempted the people of Chu from the three-year rent. It was really joyful from the sky, and the sky was swept away.
When the people heard the news, they rushed around and told each other. Soon, someone spontaneously welcomed the road along the way, ate a pot of slurry, and came to comfort the Tang army. As for the Ma brothers, they would only mention them as negative examples when they compared them with Lin Feng. As for the State of Chu, everyone soon didn't even want to mention them! As for the common people, they were the most practical, and who would remember who they were good to them!
Following Lin Feng's order, Liu Qiyi took the lead and returned to Tanzhou to report his life.
When Li Congqian heard Lin Feng's arrangement, he immediately asked Tuoba Heng for consultation. Tuoba Heng naturally knew that Chenzhou was easy to defend but difficult to attack, so he volunteered to be an envoy to come to persuade Liu Yan to surrender.
Of course, Li Congqian did not accept Tuoba Heng's suggestion. On the one hand, he sent Chen Desheng to lead the special forces soldiers and some recruiting masters who had not left to sneak to Chenzhou first, and on the other hand, he sent a special forces soldier to bring his own handwritten letter, persuading Lin Feng not to underestimate the enemy, and to return to Tanzhou City to discuss and then take action.
On the evening of December 13, when Lin Feng led his army to Liling, he received a letter from Li Congqian. When a group of main characters gathered in the cabin to discuss, Zhou Xingfeng could no longer sit still and stood up and reported, "Mr. Lin, Lord Liu, I have a good relationship with Liu Yan. Can you allow me to represent the Tang Dynasty to go to Chenzhou to recruit surrender?"
Since ancient times, wealth and honor have been sought in danger! In the past two days, Zhou Xingfeng has thought about his position in Lin Feng's faction, and Langzhou's position is so important. He is afraid that Lin Feng's earlier promised to be ruined, so he made up his mind to take a risk.
Lin Feng and Liu Renshan looked at each other and nodded immediately to agree!
The soldiers are very fast. After dinner, Zhou Xingfeng took six personal guards and rode away with horses on torches. Lin Feng also ordered five hundred elites and set out on foot overnight, traversing the mountain road to Chenzhou. Liu Renshan was also a little anxious and ordered all soldiers not to camp anymore. He selected five thousand elite soldiers to take the boat first overnight, rushed to Chenzhou, and took the other soldiers to take the back.
