War is a very terrible thing, but having no money is another very terrible thing.

So even though Nanhe Prefecture is in chaos these days, there are still business travelers coming and going on the official roads.

A line of fifteen carriages moved forward slowly along the left side of the official road.

"Brother Yu, can you still stay in Nanhe Mansion?" Dang He, a man in gray clothes said in the motorcade.

He is the owner of this small caravan and travels between Nanhe Prefecture and Quantu Prefecture on weekdays.

"I'm afraid it's dangerous. It's unwise for the Jiang family to raise the flag of rebellion. In my opinion, it won't last more than three months at most. Once the army moves, the Jiang family will be destroyed - but if the Jiang family colludes with the Wu State, the outcome will be difficult to determine. If

This is really the case, I'm afraid that Nanhe Mansion will lead to trouble, and it is not a good place."

Yu Ze is a young man in his twenties, with a four-foot sword at his waist, and his hair fixed with a wooden crown, giving him a somewhat bookish air.

He is a scholar of the Gongyang School. He has now completed his studies and is currently traveling around the country.

(Study traveling was the only way for most scholars of this era to find jobs, expand their knowledge, and become famous - Lu Wu's second brother Lu Bai also studied abroad.)

"Thank you, Brother Yu Ze, for your advice. I'm going to take the caravan to Quantu Mansion for a while. I wonder what Brother Yu Ze's plan is?" Dang He asked.

While he was talking, he heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the direction behind him.

"Tap tap tap tap tap tap tap -"

The two of them turned their heads and looked back at the same time.

Only one person and one horse were seen, galloping along the empty pipeline.

This man was still a hundred steps away when he started riding, but within a moment, he came to his side at such an alarming speed that the strong wind alone created a faint suction force, causing their robes to flutter.

"Step on stepping on the stepping stepping on the silence, the smoke and dust raised by the horseshoe have not fallen, but the person has gone far away.

"What a horse!" Yu Ze couldn't help shouting: "It's really a divine horse! I can see a divine horse now. The ancients are sincere and I won't deceive you!"

"Brother Dang, do you know who that person is?" Yu Ze asked.

This kind of divine horse is naturally not owned by ordinary people. Although the Black God is fast, it is not so fast that people can't clearly see the figure of the knight on the horse.

"I don't know who this person is, but I know that Magucheng is fifteen miles ahead. I'm afraid this person is going to Magucheng." Dang He said.

"Such a splendid horse, such a general, learning from all directions in the lower reaches and gaining knowledge, this is something not to be missed - Brother Dang, we are destined to meet again." Yu Ze hurriedly held his hand, shook the reins to urge the inferior horse, and galloped forward.

Black God ran hard, and the strong wind blew through the long horse's mane, making Black God feel refreshed.

For seven years, Heishen has never run so happily. In the past, Qiu Tong and others would go home after walking for thirty or fifty miles at most.

A fully mobile body allows blood to flow to every corner of the body, and the skin seems to be breathing. The muscles can directly obtain fresh air from the skin, dissipating heat while enhancing body activity.

The huge ocean-like true energy from the master penetrates the whole body. Every muscle fiber is wrapped by the owner's true energy, pushing the muscles to contract and expand, taking away excess heat, transforming the energy and blood, and turning it into the energy source for the external body training.

.

The Black God ran faster and faster, his energy and blood flowed through the mane of his body, and a faint cloud of mist appeared around his body where the pores were open.

Ahead is Magu County.

——————————————

Nanhe Mansion, City Lord's Mansion.

"Where is the general?" Jiang Xingde asked.

The speed of Heishen's release was beyond the reach of ordinary war horses, so Jiang Xingde and Tang Chi saw that they could not keep up, so they simply stopped following. Instead, they just sent out their subordinates to carry flying pigeons, and went directly to eight supply points to report at any time.

The whereabouts of Lu Wu.

Flying pigeons have been used to communicate messages since ancient times. However, due to the good natural environment these days, flying pigeons are often eaten by various birds and beasts. Therefore, they can only be used to convey some less important messages. Really important messages must be relied on.

Someone delivers it.

That is to say, Lu Wu's whereabouts are not particularly important information now, so carrier pigeons can be used to convey the news.

"The general conquered Magu at noon, Danchen at Weishi, Quanxian at Weiqiu, and Bingtong at Shenshi. Now he should be on his way to Xintong City-" The staff next to him put a black flag on the map.

Go up to the position of Bing Tongcheng and say.

"Huh..." Jiang Xingde looked at the map and let out a long breath.

Located in the south of Chu State, it is not as troubled as the north.

Therefore, Jiang Xingde cannot be said to have experienced hundreds of battles, but he has commanded the army for nearly thirty years. He can be regarded as a veteran general, but he has never heard of anyone fighting like this.

Relying on one's own strength to break through the city gate is an unprecedented siege method. Although this method is not difficult to crack as long as it is known in advance, it is irresistible when caught unexpectedly.

For example, thickening the city gate, placing traffic jams behind the city gate, piling up sand and soil, etc. can prevent the city gate from being broken by Luwu's blow and causing the city to collapse - but the problem is, who would normally think of someone breaking the city like this?

In particular, Lu Wu relies on the speed of his horse and his long endurance, and has deployed military forces near each city in advance. He can travel hundreds of miles in one day. Even if someone wants to convey the message, they are not as fast as Lu Wu's horse. How can they do it?

Take precautions beforehand?

If we add the two cities of Mingyuan and Qingting that were captured this morning, Lu Wu has conquered six cities today - if Xintong City is conquered again, it will be a total of seven cities.

With these seven cities, in one day, the entire Nanhe Prefecture will be turned upside down, and the situation will change drastically.

You must know that among the cities Lu Wu chose, except for the first Mingyuan City, which is close to Nanhe City, the other six cities are all on the edge of Nanhe Prefecture and at the junction of Tonghe, Yuci, and Quantu Prefectures.

After these seven cities were captured, plus the seven county towns that were originally controlled by the Jiang family, Tang family and other former Wu nobles, Nanhe Prefecture had 23 counties under its jurisdiction. The six counties that had not yet been captured were completely sealed.

, we can no longer count on other governments in Chu State to respond.

It can be said that as long as there are no accidents, these six cities have been completely surrounded.

"Report - the general defeated Xintong, killed Xintong Lieutenant Li Jian, and destroyed the big family Liu Chen Zhao. The general said, 'Today a certain family will rest in Xintong City, and tomorrow morning they will attack Baichen County. General Wangjiang will do it early.

Prepare'."

A cavalryman dismounted and ran in, reporting loudly.

Jiang Xingde nodded: "I understand. Tomorrow at six o'clock, under Baichen City, Jiang will personally beat the drum to cheer for the general."

After the soldiers who sent the message went out, Jiang Xingde said to Tang Chi: "Baichen County is in the middle of the six counties. If it is announced tomorrow, the other five counties will be able to send messages - it seems that our general is not a pure hero.

husband."

"It doesn't matter whether he is a brave man or not. What is important is why there is no news from the Wu Kingdom? The navy of Tongyun Water Village has gone down the river to block the river." Tang Chi frowned.

The Chu State had three water villages on the Lan River, namely the Nanhefu Water Village, which confronted the Wu State; the Tongyun Water Village, which was located at the junction of Wu and Yue; and the Baichi Water Village, which was located far opposite the Yue State.

Nowadays, all the elite members of the Nanhe Prefecture Water Village have been lost. Even if there are fish that have slipped through the net, most of them have been captured by the Jiang family. They have become useless. However, the Tongyun Water Village is still intact - the Chu State has never allowed the Jiang family to intervene in the navy, so

After a while, even though the Jiang family captured a lot of warships, it was difficult to quickly form a fighting force.
