Eastern Jin Invincible Iron Army

Chapter 287

Just when Gao Jingzong was about to indulge the landlord, Ran Yu suddenly came over and said softly: "A letter from the north!" Gao Jingzong took the letter, turned around and walked towards the study.These two letters were sent by Xu Jingxuan through the channel of the inner guard, and the speed is already the fastest.However, Gao Jingzong looked at the date on the envelope, and it turned out to be four days ago.

The distance from Suixian to Jiankang is actually more than 1000 miles. In later generations, the high-speed rail took up to two hours, but in this era, it takes a full four days.Faced with such a speed, Gao Jingzong was not satisfied, but considering that the area of ​​nearly 49 miles belonged to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the inner guards could not send messages blatantly, so they had to give up.There are two urgent letters this time, one of which is written by Cui Cheng, with rigorous and gorgeous words, telling Gao Jingzong that the military and civilian household registrations of the Beifu have been counted, of which there are 86 households with civilian registrations, totaling 460 Nine thousand [-] two people.

In Cui Cheng's letter, he told Gao Jingzong that the Neishi Prefecture has passed the most difficult period by actively allocating supplies and organizing the people to save themselves. The fuel problem has been solved, and basically solved the winter clothing for more than half of the people and the whole army. problem.It's just that some civilians and soldiers suffered from frostbite, and medicines are in short supply. I hope Gao Jingzong can find a way to buy a batch in Jiankang.

Ji Kan's letter was half written and half written, and Gao Jingzong didn't bother to read it.Ji Kan told Gao Jingzong that according to Gao Jingzong's plan, the army has completed the initial disarmament work, and the size of the army has been reduced to 19 horses. A total of 45 soldiers and horses were obtained, and a total of 15 horses were obtained from the three Zhonglang generals' mansions.More than half of the army is armored, and the shortage of weapons still exists.The armor and weapons produced by the supervisor will be equipped with the troops one after another, and it is expected that the whole army will be refitted in April.

After reading these two letters, Gao Jingzong's uneasiness did not weaken, but his uneasiness became stronger.At present, the Beifu Army is developing in a good direction, and Murong Juan will never give the Beifu Army this opportunity to develop slowly.Yan Guo will definitely not sit idly by for changing clothes in April. If there is no accident, Gao Jingzong can even be sure that it may not wait until the beginning of spring. Yan Guo will launch a new offensive in February and March.

Seeing Gao Jingzong frown, Xie Daoyun asked in puzzlement: "Gao Lang, there is no bad news in Sui County, why are you still so distressed?" Gao Jingzong said in a deep voice, "There are actually problems with these two letters?"

"What's the problem?" Gao Jingzong took the envelope and handed it to Xie Daoyun. Xie Daoyun looked at it for a while, and said puzzledly: "No..." Suddenly Xie Daoyun said angrily, "Has this letter been opened?"

At this time, Gao Jingzong was unusually calm: "What's so strange about this? After all, Jiankang belongs to the imperial court. The Empress Dowager Chu made all the old foxes in the imperial court bow their heads and obey her orders with a female style. How could she have some means? If I expected If it’s not bad, the messenger must have been lost on the way. These two letters have already been copied, and I haven’t received this copied letter when it was placed on the Empress Dowager Chu’s desk..."

Ran Yu was surprised and angry: "This is too despicable, it's not what a man did!"

Xie Daoyun said: "He is not a man at all, nor is he a man!"

Ran Yu said: "So, that old woman also knows about these things?"

Gao Jingzong said: "I had an appointment with Cui Neishi. The content of the letter was written in numbers, and the first number was four." Gao Jingzong took out a manuscript copy of "Tao Te Ching", but when he opened the content, Xie Daoyun found This is simply a book written indiscriminately, and it is completely wrong.

Gao Jingzong said: "The main content of this letter is actually four nine seven five zero three eight six nine four six two." ", "Urgent", "Yan Kingdom Changes", "Please return quickly" these twelve words.

Xie Daoyun and Ran Yu were dumbfounded looking at these twelve characters.Xie Daoyun said: "Gao Lang is still smart."

Gao Jingzong said: "I have to go back now, I'm afraid Empress Dowager Chu won't let me go back!"

Ran Yu said: "Then kill them out. I have ordered the fourth and fifth Zhonglang generals to be on standby at any time. They will respond. We are surprised, and we are at least [-]% sure of breaking out of Jiankang."

"I also know that we have a chance to fight out, as long as we plan carefully, there will always be a chance!" Gao Jingzong changed his expression leisurely after hearing this: "But I can't do that."

"Why?" Ran Yu asked, "Can we really be manipulated by them?"

"We must not fight on two fronts!" Gao Jingzong sighed and said: "Once the Yan State comes to attack, we must go all out, and we may not be able to withstand the counterattack of the Yan army. We can't even last a month!"

Ran Yu said without hesitation: "What are you afraid of, just die!"

Gao Jingzong did not take Ran Yu's words.

Xie Daoyun thought for a while and said, "Gao Lang, why don't you find an amulet in Jiankang?"

"Amulet?" Gao Jingzong looked at Ran Yu, hesitant to speak, he shook his head and walked aside, then looked back at Ran Yu's appearance, and after a while, his eyes gradually became weird, Ran Yu felt a little bit in his heart when he looked at him. Feeling hairy, he looked at himself up and down, and couldn't help but ask, "Look at me? What's wrong with me?"

"There is nothing wrong." Gao Jingzong smiled slightly: "Yingtai is right, I must find an amulet. The imperial court avoids me, so naturally I can't find an amulet. Now I think that maybe I can find an amulet." Find another way."

"That's right, it's just another way." Xie Daoyun said with a smile: "As the so-called 'commoner Qingxiang, first-grade white shirt', you can't be a Qingxiang. If you have a reputation like a Qingxiang, whoever wants to move Gao Lang, you have to weigh it... ..."

Gao Jingzong shook his head and said: "This is just a method, the effect is too slow, and now there is a method with the fastest effect!"

"Silang, pack up your things!" Gao Jingzong said in an unquestionable tone: "Five hundred personal guards, you take away three hundred, quickly return to Sui County, hold my warrant, the governor of Quanbei Prefecture Army, and restrain the army!"

Hearing this, Ran Yu said without hesitation: "No, we have to go together, we have to stay together, we are brothers, I can't leave you alone!"

"No, there is no need to discuss this matter!" Gao Jingzong said with a sigh of relief: "If you don't leave, none of us will be able to leave. If you leave, I will have a better chance to go back!"

Ran Yu said angrily, "I won't leave!"

"How dare you!" Gao Jingzong said: "If you don't leave, you will deny me as a brother, and we will go our separate ways in the future and never communicate with each other!"

"you……"
