Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

After a while, Liu Guangshi suddenly laughed.

"What is the general laughing at?" Wang Boyan asked in surprise.

"Master Wang, I'm afraid your news is wrong!" Liu Guangshi said.

"My news can never be wrong!" Wang Boyan said.

"I, Liu Guangshi, is also a general of the imperial court, why didn't I get any news?" Liu Guangshi said.

Just as he said this, there was another voice of reporting from outside, and then a few soldiers entered the camp.

These soldiers immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Liu Guangshi.

"Sima Chong, Yang Rui, why are you?" Seeing these people, Liu Guangshi once again showed a surprised expression on his face!

It turns out that these people are all subordinates of the Liu family army, but they have been ordered to stay in Lin'an City to protect the safety of the Liu family! But now, they actually came to Yueyang Dongting Lake area?

"General, something is wrong! There was a mutiny in Lin'an City, and all the Jiangnan Imperial Battalion participated in the rebellion! Now they have conquered the imperial palace, and His Majesty is under their control." The soldier in his forties named Sima Chong knelt on the ground, Said in fear.

"What! It turned out to be true!" Liu Guangshi stayed there again!

But he didn't see that Sima Chong, Yang Rui and others lowered their heads at the moment, but they all had weird smiles on their faces! They had already been bought by the Intelligence Department, and they came here to tell Liu Guangshi about the Lin'an mutiny! In fact, it has only been more than ten days since the Lin'an mutiny. There are thousands of miles from Lin'an to here. With the ancient traffic conditions, it is impossible for them to rush to Dongting Lake so quickly. Everything is already arranged!

Liu Guangshi was shocked at the moment, and soon, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead!

He absolutely cannot tolerate mutiny, especially any danger to Zhao Gou!

The reason why he was able to obtain his current status and glory is inextricably linked with Zhao Gou! It was precisely because he took refuge in Zhao Gou early and had the merit of escorting Zhao Gou that he won Zhao Gou's important task. Even though he was defeated in Guanshan, he was still reused by Zhao Gou. Now through recruitment, he still has hundreds of thousands of troops under his command.

Everything he has comes from Zhao Gou, so he can't tolerate Zhao Gou's accident.

"The big thing is not good! It seems that I must return to Lin'an to rescue His Majesty!" Liu Guangshi said.

"General, I don't know if the mutiny is true or not! I always have some doubts in my heart." Li Qiong frowned.

He is Liu Guangshi's number one general. Although he is average in force, he is quite resourceful. For some reason, he felt that there was something strange about Wang Boyan coming together with those Liu family soldiers.

Just as Li Qiong finished speaking, the voice of reporting came from outside again, and several soldiers came in at that moment.

These few soldiers looked like travel-worn soldiers, and they were not wearing the military uniforms of the Liu family army, but the military uniforms of the Jiangnan Imperial Battalion.

"Are you also here to report the news of the Mutiny in Lin'an?" Liu Guangshi asked immediately.

"Yes! We were ordered by your lord to stay in the Jiangnan Imperial Camp. Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan in the Jiangnan Imperial Camp brazenly staged a mutiny. They even imprisoned His Majesty and forced His Majesty to abdicate!" a soldier said.

After hearing this, Liu Guangshi became even more restless.

"General, wait a little longer!" Li Qiong said.

Liu Guangshi nodded.

For a whole night, Liu Guangshi did not fall asleep, and in just one night, four groups of people arrived, all reporting the news of the Mutiny in Lin'an!

At this time, Liu Guangshi no longer had any doubts. Even Li Qiong felt that the possibility of mutiny was extremely high.

"Quick! Gather the army immediately, and we will return to Lin'an to rescue Your Majesty!" When the sky was getting dark, Liu Guangshi couldn't bear it anymore, and said immediately.

"General, how many troops should we gather?" Li Qiong said.

"Of course it's time to gather all the soldiers and horses!" Liu Guangshi said.

"But what about the bandits in Dongting Lake?" Li Qiong said.

"Is it important for His Majesty, or the banditry in Dongting Lake?" Liu Guangshi shouted.

"However, we have already suppressed the banditry, and it is only a matter of time before we get rid of the banditry! Now if we all evacuate, the banditry will become serious again! General, the Jiangnan Imperial Battalion only has 20,000 to 30,000 troops, and we only need to lead half of them." The army is enough to put down the rebellion!" Li Qiong said.

"No, we must bring back all the soldiers and horses! The rebels may have already occupied Lin'an City. They have the advantage of the city wall. Without soldiers and horses several times their size, it is impossible to take down Lin'an City." Liu Guangshi said.

"This..." Li Qiong hesitated for a while, then nodded.

It was still raining heavily in the sky, and at this moment, the sound of war drums came from the Liu family's army.

Many soldiers were asleep. After hearing the sound, they just covered their heads with quilts, and few people went out at all.

At this time, a group of generals rushed into the soldiers' tents, and they beat the soldiers who were still snoozing with whips.

"Get up! Get up quickly!"

Finally, a soldier couldn't stand the beating and got up from the bed.

Gradually, more and more soldiers got up. They yawned, dressed and talked a lot.

"What the hell happened? It's not yet full light, and we're all woken up!"

"Did the gangsters from Dongting Lake come out?"

"It shouldn't be! Besides, those gangsters don't have decent weapons in their hands, so they are completely vulnerable! The generals didn't say that the gangsters came!"

Finally all the soldiers came outside, and only then did they get the news that there was a mutiny in Lin'an!

After hearing the news of the Lin'an mutiny, these soldiers also showed anxious expressions on their faces.

Originally, the Liu Family Army was an important branch of the Western Army. Most of the soldiers came from the Northwest. However, during the Battle of Guanshan, the Liu Family Army suffered heavy losses. Later, the Liu Family Army recruited new soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River, and a large part of them were from Lin'an! So hearing the mutiny in Lin'an, the soldiers in Lin'an also became anxious!

After more than an hour, the Liu family's army was finally assembled, and the 150,000 Liu family's army was heading east.

Along the way, Liu Jiajun marched extremely fast!

They marched in the rain, and after dark, Liu Guangshi actually ordered the army to move on!

Soon, there was a burst of complaints from the army!

The marching speed of the army is also getting slower and slower.

However, Liu Guangshi was anxious, fearing that something might happen to Zhao Gou, so he still didn't let the army stop to rest.

By the next morning, he still did not let the soldiers rest.

At dusk the next day, Liu Guangshi still wanted to let the army move forward, but all the more than 100,000 troops stopped, and no one was willing to continue on their way! Liu Guangshi had no choice but to let the army stop and rest.

So Liu Jiajun stopped and walked forward like this. This speed is not very fast, far inferior to the rapid march of Guanshan soldiers and horses, but for Liu Jiajun, this is an emergency march that has never happened before!

"I hope His Majesty is safe and sound!" On the evening of the seventh day of March, the army rested again.

Liu Guangshi is still anxious at this moment.

It's been almost ten days now, and they've covered less than half the distance!

It might take more than half a month to get to Lin'an.

Liu Guangshi really couldn't wait any longer, he even wanted to rush to Lin'an City by himself to see how Zhao Gou was doing.

"General, the soldiers have been working so hard these days! Jiangzhou is ahead, let the soldiers stay there for a day!" Li Qiong came to Liu Guangshi's side and said.

"Your Majesty is in danger, how can we stop now?" Liu Guangshi frowned.

"General, don't you feel that the speed of the soldiers is getting slower and slower? The soldiers are becoming more and more impatient! Now we have to make them happy before continuing to march! General, let the soldiers enter the river Go to Zhoucheng! After going there, let the soldiers relax! Along the way, we will indulge the soldiers while marching, and the speed will be even faster than now!" Li Qiong said.

"Indulging soldiers?" Liu Guangshi was taken aback.

"That's right! Let the soldiers plunder, and the loot will belong to them. In this way, the morale of the soldiers will be boosted, and the marching speed will naturally be much faster!" Li Qiong said.

"Good idea!" Liu Guangshi nodded immediately.

This was the tradition of the Western Army back then. As long as there was a war, soldiers were allowed to plunder. The Liu family army also came here in this way, so there was no psychological burden for robbing Liu Guangshi.

"General, you can tell the soldiers this news now! Then let the soldiers go to Jiangzhou overnight!" Li Qiong said.

"Okay!" Liu Guangshi nodded again.

Immediately, Liu Guangshi ordered someone to pass the news on, and there were bursts of cheers from the Liu family's army.

It only took half an hour for Liu Jiajun to dispatch again, and this time the speed was really extremely fast.

On the eighth day of March, when the sky was getting dark, they came to Jiangzhou, which is where Jiujiang will be in later generations.

*** ***

Seeing the Jiangzhou City Wall in front of them, the soldiers of the Liu Family Army showed excited smiles on their faces.

Their speed is much faster than before.

Soon, they arrived at the city of Jiangzhou.

After arriving here, they realized that the city gate of Jiangzhou was closed!

In this era, the order of the ordinary army is too poor, so if you observe an army appearing in the distance in the city, whether it is an official army or a bandit, you will immediately close the city gate!

When Liu Jiajun appeared just now, the smoke and dust brought up by more than 100,000 people was no small matter. Jiujiang City had already noticed it, so they closed the city gate early.

"Open the city gate quickly! We are subordinates of the Liu family army, and we are ordered by the Liu family army to go to Lin'an City!"

"Open the door quickly!"

"Open the door to me!"

Immediately, the soldiers of the Liu family army below let out a burst of yelling and cursing.

Dozens of soldiers guarding the city stood on the city wall of Jiangzhou. At this moment, these soldiers guarding the city were all panicked and terrified, not knowing what to do.

"Open the city gate quickly! If not, we will attack the city!" At this moment, Liu Guangshi's voice came from the army.

He is a congenital master, and his voice can be heard far away, very clear.

However, the Jiangzhou soldiers above were still unmoved, just standing on the city wall in horror.

"Come on! Prepare to attack the city!" Liu Guangshi sneered.

Now Liu Jiajun has made preparations for the siege!

At this moment, the gate of Jiangzhou City slowly opened!

"Haha! This group of lowly things finally opened the city gate! Go! Go in, let you have enough fun today!" Liu Guangshi laughed.

At that moment, more than 100,000 soldiers of the Liu Family Army were swarming towards the city gate, passing through the gate and entering Jiangzhou City.

Liu Guangshi and Li Qiong had already passed through the city gate and moved forward.
