Chapter 915

Chapter 917

Luofeng City is in full swing to prepare for this overall situation. Qi Jiguang, Ma Chao, and Hua Mulan all returned to their positions, secretly moving troops and horses.

At the same time, the ghost head Jiaojiao was also released. After walking in Luofeng City, I thought that I would definitely die, but who would have thought that there would be a chance to escape.

Finally regaining his freedom, at this moment he can choose to continue to go north and perform his mission again, or return to his own camp and do things according to Chu Yunsheng's instructions.

After thinking about it for a while, Guitoujiao decided to continue to go north and still complete his mission. Could it be that the surnamed Chu has a problem with his head, how could he be deceived by him with a few words, leaving Jiangnan with good errands and going to seek refuge in the East China Sea.

For Chu Yunsheng's words, he was really moved. In life, who doesn't want to do a few big things, especially the bandit business, is born to destroy. If Jinxiu Jiangnan changed hands because of himself, it would be quite fulfilling to think about it.

However, this matter is too risky, Li Xingzai can go all out, but he doesn't need to go crazy with them.

After a while, Guitoujiao came back from the north and returned to the Jiangnan camp.

Hong Liao saw the ghost-headed Jiaojiao in the big tent. Seeing the other party was dusty and haggard, he didn't see him for a few days, as if he had aged a few years out of thin air.

"General Su has worked hard all the way, and he didn't encounter any troubles along the way, especially the people from Donghai?"

Guitoujiao's heart moved, and he didn't dare to be clever, and told Hong Li what Chu Yunsheng had told him. As long as people know that they were trapped in the East China Sea, they can't tell if there is anything.

He held the tea in both hands, took a sip, and said, "It's not too much trouble. The villain has always walked on the path, wherever he goes, and he has never met anyone from the East China Sea."

"That's good." Hong Liao nodded secretly in his heart, and the person He Shen picked out was fine.

He asked again, "How are things going?"

"Marshal Qi, when his subordinates arrived in the north, Jiangbei was really in a mess. Wherever the Rong tribe's iron hooves stepped, no city could not be broken. There were deserters and displaced people everywhere on the road."

Speaking of this, Guitou Jiao was also a little angry, and said: "That thief is really hateful. Thinking of the size of my empire, it can't stop a group of barbarians."

Even though Guitoujiao was born as a bandit, he still regards himself as a citizen of the empire. When it comes to what the Rong did in the empire, it is gnashing hatred. It has to be said that Cheng Dalei can be regarded as a role model among bandits, not without reason. At least, he dared to fight with the Rong clan.

Hong Liao said: "You go to contact the princes of the North, what progress can you make?"

"In the chaotic world, the subordinates couldn't find anyone to call the shots. In the end, I was lucky enough to find a family, but it was the lord of Yutai City in Yanzhou, named Sun Mujiang. Now he has been frightened by the Rong family, and he just wants to cross the river to protect himself. After receiving the letter from the marshal, he immediately agreed. As long as the marshal is willing to let go of the way, he will immediately rush to Jiangnan to do things for His Majesty."

Hearing this, Hong Li also frowned. He had also heard of the name Sunmujiang in Yutai City. Because the other party is in the north of the big river, and it is far away from the south of the Yangtze River.

No one expected that the Rong tribe would be so rampant in the North, and if this trend continued, it would take less than a year to unify the North. After that, when the iron hooves went south, even if he could defeat Li Xingzai, could he really be able to stop the iron cavalry of the Rong tribe with just one big river?

He shook his head, sighed softly, and said, "How many people does Sun Mujiang have under his eyes?"

"Less than 30,000." Guitou Jiao reported: "He wrote a letter and asked his subordinates to hand it over to the marshal."

Guitoujiao took a letter from his arms, Hong opened it and looked at it, and saw that it was Sun Mujiang's big seal. The letter is more detailed than Guitoujiao's retelling. Sun Mujiang is really eager to return to the south, and he hopes to make contributions to Jiangnan with this incident.

Hong Liao closed the letter, thought for a moment, and said, "You always have to meet someone from the other side, and this matter is only 70 or 80 percent accurate."

"Marshal, there is no difficulty in this matter. As long as the marshal leaves another letter, ordering their troops to move to Luofeng City, when the two armies are close, it will be convenient to meet each other."

Hong thought for a while, nodded slowly, looked at Guitoujiao, and changed his expression: "General Su worked hard, just came back, haven't met Mr. He yet."

"It's not too late, should I discuss this matter with Mr. He?"

"It's natural." Hong Liao said: "General Su go down and have a good rest, this Marshal here, I will remember your credit."

Guitoujiao stood up, bowed respectfully, and slowly exited the tent.

After Guitoujiao left, Hong Liao immediately stepped up to think about this matter. Fortunately, Guitou Jiao actually contacted the princes of the northern land. Although the 30,000 horses were not many, they were enough to pose a threat to Li Xingzai.

At present, the 200,000-strong army in the south of the Yangtze River is in formation, but Donghai is formed by masters, and the three cities are integrated. Therefore, the general offensive has not yet been launched.

But as soon as Sun Mujiang's troops arrived, things changed. Thinking of this, Hong Liao's heart couldn't help thumping.

It has been some time since I was born, and I need an opportunity to let the world know my name. First set the East China Sea, and then swallow the Rong family, his name and surname will inevitably become the most dazzling existence in the empire.

However, thinking that this strategy was proposed by He Shen, I still have some regrets in my heart. In any case, this matter needs to be discussed with Heshen, but because of a small grudge in his heart, he did not open up and talk to Heshen. Just had a few casual conversations.

How could someone like Heshen not be able to guess Hong Leo's intentions? Although he wanted to say something, he didn't say much.

At present, his task is to be in charge of food for the three armies, as long as he does his own thing well. After the mobilization of troops and horses, all kinds of arrangements, Hong Liu did not discuss with Heshen again, and Heshen did not ask.

This time, sending someone to Yutai City to deliver the letter, Hong did not instruct Guitoujiao to do it, but chose a few smart and reliable people from his own hands.

Guitoujiao has already walked by, and things have become much easier. Before long, the dispatched personnel returned to the camp safely, and Sun Mujiang's troops also began to mobilize in the direction of Luofeng City.

Sunmujiang cannot cross the river, and currently it can only pose a threat to Luofeng City. Hong Liao's first target was also Luofeng City. Luofeng City was the place where Li Xingzai started his business, and it was also his foundation.

Once Luofeng City was breached, the remaining Longxi and Zhongli cities would not be a problem. Defeating the two cities by yourself is as easy as digging into a sack and looking at the patterns.

When Sun Mujiang's 30,000-strong army set up camp in the north of Luofeng City, the Jiangnan soldiers under Hong Liao's command had already been mobilized and assembled.

Now that the two armies are getting closer, important figures from both sides have quietly met.
