Xiang County is hundreds of miles away from Pei County, so information exchange is not convenient. W    w★W    .

CoM Yang Duanhe went back to look at the reports submitted by various places that he had recently received. A content in the report he just received today made him overjoyed.

This report was proposed by Xiao He, the county magistrate of Pei County. Because for half a year, a large number of large barges often appear on the Sishui River near Pei County. These ships have flat bottoms, shallow drafts and extremely large capacity. They are excellent ships used to transport goods and soldiers. However, such ships can only travel in the six rivers, and going to sea is absolutely necessary, because when the wind and waves are heavy, they may capsize.

At first, no one paid attention to these large barges. The county government also sent someone to investigate, but the large barges were fully equipped with procedures and no problems were found. However, as the large barges traveled back and forth frequently, it attracted the vigilance of the county magistrate Xiao He.

After investigation, Xiao Hexing found that whenever night fell, the shore was very lively. A large number of soldiers in imperial uniforms guarded the neighborhood and carried bags of things to the big barge.

Xiao He also brought the yamen runners to ask, but the dignified county magistrate was blocked. The other party took out military certificates and told Xiao He that this was the place to transport supplies to the soldiers of the Southern Expedition, and no one was allowed to get close to him.

Originally, the matter ended here. But Xiao He thought it was very strange. Sishui was far behind and did not have a place for material turnover. The court had a closer distance to send materials to the front, such as Changsha County and Jiujiang County. What's even more unreasonable is that if the court really set this place as a material transfer station, there was no need to sneak in and choose to do things in the middle of the night, and would inform the local government and send corvee to help.

Xiao He reported this matter to the county magistrate, but the county magistrate did not take it seriously. He just said that the other party had complete procedures. Don’t bother the military. These small officials cannot afford to offend the generals of the court.

Xiao He had to give up. But soon after, the court asked all counties to buy grain to fill the treasury. Pei County, like most parts of the country, had purchased food far below the standards set by the court. After investigation, it was only now that the autumn harvest period was in full swing.

Not long after, the court issued a new order to thoroughly investigate the people who were rushing to buy food in the people everywhere. Xiao He remembered this again. So he bypassed the county magistrate and reported the matter directly to the county magistrate.

Chen Sheng naturally didn't know the cause and effect of this matter, but with clues, it would be a good thing.

Fusu immediately mobilized the guards brought from Xianyang and rushed towards Peixian. The soldiers in this guard were basically warriors who had participated in the war of destruction of the country. After numerous selections, five hundred people were selected. The emperor gave the title of the Imperial Guard and was directly commanded by the emperor. During this trip, Fusu actually brought out two hundred Imperial Guards, which is enough to show the emperor's importance to this matter.

In order not to alert the enemy, Yang Duanhe did not mobilize the troops in the county, but he also knew that with the two hundred imperial guards, there was no room for other troops to intervene. Once a former general of the army, he understood the terrifying combat effectiveness of this team better than Fusu Mengyi.

It's not a good time to bump on the horse's back.

Although Chen Sheng spent more than half a year on the carriage and his skill in driving the carriage was not bad, he couldn't stand the bumps on the horse's back.

It was not mainly his riding problem. It was because there was no kickstick on the horse. Chen Sheng always knew that the kickstick had not been revealed in this era, and he had always wanted to accomplish this feat by himself, but he had no time to use his talent. He had always been wandering with Wei Liao's nowhere to live, so he had no time to organize these strange tricks and tricks.

The two knotted straw ropes hanging from the saddle and putting their feet in is the "kicks" of this era. This simple kick is difficult to fix people's legs, and it is even more difficult to leverage the force, and it is difficult to play the role that the cavalry should have. So Chen Sheng knew that in this era, the real role of the cavalry had not been swung at all, so the clumsy chariots had never been eliminated.

Because of this, the Central Plains has not been at a disadvantage in the fight with the Hu people and the Xiongnu. That is because the Huns do not have horse ridings. Nowadays, knights rely on their superb riding skills to play the role of fighting on horseback. But Chen Sheng knew that this gadget that can increase the combat effectiveness of cavalry several times will be revealed sooner or later. It is better to let others understand it, rather than letting them "create". This is the benefit of time travelers. Chen Sheng thought evilly.

Chen Sheng was very surprised at the resilience of the Qin army. After running wildly on the horse for a day, he didn't feel tired at all, but the war horses under his foot gradually showed fatigue and their pace began to slow down. Fortunately, each knight brought a replacement horse, and replaced it when the mount was tired, and did not stop a single step along the way.

Not only the Imperial Guards, but even the Prince Fusu was so arrogant that he did not look tired. Only then did Chen Sheng realize that it was not accidental that Qin destroyed the six kingdoms. From the noble princes to ordinary soldiers, the Qin people were all brave and warlike, proficient in cavalry and shooting. This country where all the whole country was full of troops, it was unreasonable. It was unreasonable.

It takes two or three days to ride a horse from Pei County. However, the imperial guards' ranks are not as good as ordinary marching. This group of madmen march day and night only rested for two hours last night, but only stopped because they recovered their horses' physical strength.

Chen Sheng admired this imperial guard very much because he found that these guys could sleep soundly on the bumpy horse's back! No matter how rugged the road was, they could rest tightly on the horse's back, just lead the way in front!

Such skills can only be mastered in years of horseback battle career. Chen Sheng couldn't help but smile bitterly. The Qin people had such an elite army, and in a short time, who in the world could compete?

In this way, under the protection of the Imperial Guards, Chen Sheng followed Meng Yifusu to the territory of Pei County the next afternoon.

"Young Master, it's Pei County in front of me." Yang Duanhe pointed to the two words on a stone tablet and said slowly to Fusu next to him.

Fusu nodded, looked at Meng Yi, and waited for Meng Yi's instructions.

Meng Yi looked at the Imperial Guard behind him and said, "All Imperial Guards put on ordinary clothes, scattered, sneaked, and did not reveal their identities! At this time tomorrow, they must have arrived at the Pei County Government Office to gather and wait for orders!"
