Dao fruit.

The next day, several people came to the government office where the imperial envoy was working.

This mansion is not far from the place where the imperial envoy lives, but it is public and private, and the person in charge of management has no direct control over Qiu Yan's mansion.

In the front hall, several Jiedu envoys who came overnight were already sitting in it, each of them looked serious, the steward of the yamen had already offered tea, and sent someone to inform Qiu Yan.

There are a total of seven Jiedu envoys, including Shannan Xidao, Wuding, Xiongwu, Zhaowu, Wude, Yongping, and Wuxin. Not all of them are Jiedu envoys belonging to Jiannan Road, but the White Lotus Sect's uprising , Integrating the power of the entire Lingnan Road, the four-way army came out, and the momentum was huge. There was almost no warning before, and it would spread far and wide when caught off guard. As a result, no one dared to take it lightly.

Junzhen, which is connected to Jiannan Road and Jiangnan Road, is also worried, and Qiu Yan is in charge of Jiannan military and government, and is the highest in charge of Jiannan Road in terms of power, so he naturally wants to gather here.

"Fan Yiyuan really didn't come."

Several people were waiting to sit on both sides, and Chen Shouxin, the governor of the Yongping Army, took a look and knew it clearly.

"Of course, the anti-army route of the white lotus demon thief passed through the red swamp in the <top> <point> novel, and either went north to Chu, passed through Wuzhen City and entered Shu, or passed directly through his Wutai army town. will be taken lightly.”

Fan Yiyuan is the Jiedu envoy of the Wutai Army, one of the three towns in southern Jiannan. Before the swamp coalition forces were ready to move, he once came to Wuxin. The military town under his jurisdiction is located in the southeast of Jiannan Road. It is one of the roads guarding southern Xinjiang and entering Shu. .

This time Lingnan raised troops, and the incoming army would probably come from the place he was guarding. Therefore, all the envoys gathered in the imperial envoy's mansion, but he did not come.

The Jiedu of the Xiongwu Army made Liu Yuan frowned, and said: "Although the Lingnan rebellion, I heard that it was divided into four armies. Each route has at least 3 people. It is not a small threat, but it is not easy to invade Shu. Things, not to mention going north to Chu, passing Wuzhen and entering Shu, Fan Yiyuan is really too cautious, a bunch of stupid thieves who don't believe in the White Lotus Sect can really threaten the court."

"Brother Liu, you are located in the hinterland. You hardly use weapons, so you don't know the strength of the thief." Here, Zheng Yifan, the martial arts festival commander, shook his head, "Not to mention, the current overlord of the Red Swamp Foma is not Yi Yi's generation. I heard that this marsh has also been connected with the White Lotus Sect, and there is a suspicion of joining forces. In this way, this army may be able to pass through the marsh and point directly at Wutai City without bloodshed. Of course, we should not take it lightly."

As soon as he said this, Liu Yuan's complexion became ugly. His mighty army was located at the junction of Jiannan and Shannan Road, and he had no chance to fight anyone.The soldiers under command are not trained in battle formations. Most of the time, they are the Jiedushi of the mighty army.All of them were sent to get seniority, which is a manifestation of a deep background, but it is unavoidable to be seen by the military.

And Zheng Yifan's Wude Army is located in the west of Jiannan, bordering on the land of the Fanren, so he is qualified to say these things. Even if Liu Yuan is unhappy, it is not easy to get angry.

"Okay, okay..." Zhaowu Jiedu envoy Lu Mian came out to smooth things over. This man looked quite thin, "It's hard to say about it. I heard that all the major Jiedu envoys in Lingnan rebelled, and even the few people on the west side of Jiangnan Road The entire army town and the city are also from the bandits. The Jingjiang army originally guarded the swamp and entered the southern gate, but now they have rebelled. It can be seen that it is really unpredictable how this rebellion will develop."

"Speaking of which, it happened so suddenly, why did it happen?" Zhang Kaiyong, the governor of Wuxin Army, looked at the people present and asked.

"How do I know?" The others looked at each other in blank dismay, which is why they gathered here.

Tang Rong, the envoy of the Wu Ding Army, said: "A few days ago, I corresponded with the envoy of the Jianwu Army, and there was nothing in his letter. As soon as he turned around, he turned against the White Lotus Sect!"

As they spoke, everyone's eyes fell on the face of Xiong Bi, the Jiedu Envoy of Shannan West Road.

Xiong Bi is not young, with a thick back and a hulking waist, his white beard on his face is like steel needles, and the roots are clear. Although he is not sitting on the main seat, he is not angry and majestic. Lord.

"How to deal with it actually depends on the intention of the imperial envoy. In the end, we only have the position of commanding our own military town. If the imperial court does not send an appointed person to lead, then the Jiannan matter can only be dispatched by Qiu Qin envoy. You and I at most Make some suggestions."

Noticing everyone's gaze, Xiong Bi said these words.

Hearing these words, everyone knew what they were saying, Zhang Kaiyong said: "The main consideration now is to defend against the army going north to Jiannan."

Chen Shouxin said with some doubts: "We have been here for a while, how come the imperial envoy hasn't come yet? Could it be that we came too early and people haven't gotten up yet?"

"At this time, can you still sleep soundly?" Liu Yuan's face became darker and darker.

"Be safe and don't be impatient," Xiong Bi shook his head, he knew that Qiu Yan was extraordinary, just looking at the way he promoted in Jiannan, he knew that he was not Yi Yi's generation, "I think the imperial envoy may be thinking about countermeasures. "

Liu Yuan said: "Thinking about countermeasures must be implemented in the end. What's the use of not discussing with us commanders and thinking out of thin air?" In his words, he specifically mentioned the commanders, It is to classify themselves with other Jiedushi and reduce crowding out.

However, although these words had ulterior motives, they also made sense in the ears of other Jiedu envoys. Tang Rong said: "At this time, you really should talk to us more. He is good at it, and he has even written military classics, but the situation on the battlefield often changes in a flash, how much advice can ordinary civil servants give imperial envoys?"

Listening to the words of several people, Xiong Bi remained silent, thinking about the reason, at the same time he picked up the teacup on the table beside him, opened the lid and drank.

Da da da!

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the hall, and then a soldier who looked like a messenger came in. Seeing several Jiedu envoys, he clasped his fists and said: "Xiaguan Wutai Army's scout deputy commander Zhang Li, I have seen several Jiedu envoys."

"A scout under Wu Tai's army?" Hearing this, everyone in the hall changed their minds and thought about it.

Xiong Bi opened his mouth and said: "But Fan Yiyuan Jiedushi, what message do you want to pass over?"

Others were also guessing whether the army of the White Lotus Sect had really crossed the swamp and threatened Wutai City, so they sent someone to ask for help.

"Report to you guys..." Zhang Li still had an expression of shock on his face, and he tried to calm down his shock when he spoke, but his appearance strengthened everyone's guess about him, but then...

"The lower officials didn't come to pass on the words of Fan Jiedu, but the words of the imperial envoys."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was puzzled.

"Imperial envoy? Could it be that the imperial court sent an imperial envoy to deal with this matter? Why haven't we heard about it?"

"It's not from the new school, but the one from our Jiannan." Zhang Li reminded carefully.

"The original one?"

Several Jiedu envoys thought for a moment, and all showed expressions of astonishment.

Zhang Kaiyong looked at the messenger in surprise, and asked, "Could it be Qiu Yanqiu's imperial envoy? Isn't he in the mansion? Why do you want Wu Taijun's scouts to send a message?"

Seeing the expressions of several people, the reporter took a deep breath, and finally said: "Yesterday, the imperial envoy led five thousand elite soldiers, marched overnight, and defeated the [-] coalition forces of the White Lotus Sect and Fozhao in the Red Swamp last night. The bandits retreated, and the imperial envoy Leading the army to pursue along the line of Rongzhou, Guizhou, and Zhaozhou, personally beheading the three bandits, driving six thousand bandits into Mengshui and drowning, the remnants of the bandits fled to Daozhou, and joined the scattered small crowd in Bailian. Taking advantage of the victories and pursuing them, we won five battles and five victories, and captured them all in one net, and nearly [-] prisoners were captured alive, and countless died in battle, drowned, and burnt to death."

After these words fell, the entire lobby was silent.

With a click, the cup in Xiong Bi's hand fell to the ground and broke into several pieces.

After about ten breaths, the scout still whispered: "Several..."

This sound woke up the people in the hall, and Liu Yuan got up from his chair with an unbelievable expression on his face, and asked eagerly, "How is this possible? You mean, the Bailian Sect's bandits came all the way to attack Shu." The army was put down by the imperial envoy in one night?"

Zheng Yifan also asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Xiong Bi also couldn't help asking: "Can you tell me in detail what is going on with this bandit army? Why is it involved in Foma?"

"The lower officials don't know about this specific matter. I also received an order from my family's Jiedu envoy, saying that the crisis in Jiannan has been resolved, and he specially asked me to come here for help."

"Since the crisis has been resolved, what help do you need?" Tang Rong frowned, feeling that there was something wrong with it, "Could it be a lie about military achievements?"

"This fact is not known to lower officials, but..." Seeing this momentum, Zhang Li knew that there was no longer any delay, so he hurriedly said the following words clearly, "After my family's Jiedu envoy, the imperial envoy defeated him, We mobilized the soldiers from several nearby military towns to collect the remnant Bailian soldiers and escort the prisoners of war, because there are too many Fu Lulu, our military town can't handle it, so we want the nearby Wuxin Army to send someone to help."

"There are too many prisoners, do you want someone to escort them?" At this moment, Zhang Kaiyong was also stunned by Wu Xin Jiedu.

"This matter cannot be neglected, and you cannot make a decision hastily based on your own words." Xiong Bi's words brought back the confused Jiedu envoys, "Kaiyong, you might as well send out a few scouts first, Check it out in the past."

"Mr. Xiong is right." Zhang Kaiyong nodded again and again, unable to sit still, he got up immediately, and was about to go to the barracks with Zhang Li, and gave orders, but was stopped by Lu Mian——

"Wait a minute, you just mentioned, how many soldiers did the imperial envoy lead?"

"Five thousand elite soldiers." (To be continued...)

There are a lot of people who voted today, and it will take a lot of time to count. This list is already too late, so the list is put on the next one.

It stands to reason that with so many votes, I should add more updates, but I have too many personal affairs recently, and I insist on two updates a day. I really can't promise things that may not be possible, so I can only do my best. I hope you can understand.
