There are many ways to convey information in the army. You can use flags or gongs and drums, but Liu Xin is now using horns. The Feihu guards are all elites selected from all major legions and have rich experience.
They can quickly tell which method is used to deliver the message.
It was too boring to drive step by step all day long. When encountering such an unexpected situation, Liu Yu seemed particularly excited. Instead of following the advice of his guards and sitting back in the car, he stood up again and waved the wooden sword in his hand.
, asked loudly: "Are we going to fight in a hurry?"
The guard glanced at this "warlike" young master and was speechless. He shook his head and said, "What kind of battle can there be here? Emergency gathering and then rapid march are just common training methods."
Liu Yu pointed at the carriage next to him and said, "It's just training. Look at what my elder brother has become."
On the carriage, Liu Bang had just sat down and was breathing heavily. Hearing Liu Yu's words, he had no strength to refute him.
The soldiers were well-trained and the team was quickly assembled. However, there were many women and children among the family members, which delayed a lot of time and was busy for a while. The team finally set off again. At this time, a more detailed fate was passed on
Come here, make an emergency march, and you won't be able to rest until after dark.
It's summer now, and the sun sets relatively late. In order to take care of the family members in the past two days, the team always set off very late, stopped very early to rest, and even avoided the most poisonous sun at noon, walking like this until the sky
This was the first time for him to be black. Many people had already keenly felt that something big must have happened, but Liu Xin kept looking livid and no one dared to ask him.
Early the next morning, before the sun had risen and many people were still asleep, the rallying horn sounded again in the camp. After a commotion, many women and children boarded the carriage without even having time to eat breakfast. Fortunately,
The team had prepared a lot of dry food, which could only be eaten during field marches. It was very delicious and nutritious, and it made them feel full.
But they suffered enough along the way. The carriages these people rode were not as good as the special carriages ridden by Liu Xin's women. Even on such a flat road, there were inevitable bumps, and they could only sit and not lie down. But unfortunately
Liu Xin's order today was to go out at dawn and rest late, and he only stopped briefly in the shade of the trees at noon.
In the evening, this huge team finally arrived at Wuguan. Many people were so tired that they had backaches. Liu Bang was clinging to the carriage and refused to get off. However, brothers Liu Yu, Ma Fan, and Liu Pi still maintained their attitude.
In a state of excitement, he climbed to the top of Wuguan City under the protection of his personal guards, pointing and pointing with great momentum.
Probably feeling that the weak family members could not bear such a long-distance march, Liu Xin obviously slowed down after entering Wuguan, but still asked everyone to stay overnight. At the same time, Liu Xin's face softened
Only then did Jushou dare to mount his horse and ask, "Lord, what happened?"
Liu Xin shook her head and said calmly: "We will know when the time comes."
The team walked leisurely like this, and passed Shang County in the evening. Liu Xin gave the order to rest early. After walking for another two days, when they were still more than thirty miles away from Lantian, they saw several more riders.
Speeding over, it was still a messenger from the army. The team made way for the messengers to fly to Liu Xin and present the letter.
Liu Xin took the letter and took a look. There was no star-shaped mark on the envelope, indicating that it was not a phantom message. However, there was also a red chicken feather stuck to the envelope, which was another urgent military message! After reading this urgent military message, Liu Xin's face
The angry look on his face just flashed past, he tore the letter into pieces with all his strength, threw it into the air, and waved his hand: "Let's go!"
Everyone saw his worried expression and did not dare to ask him.
This place is very close to Chang'an City. If you hurry up, you can reach it in half a day. But after passing Lantian, Liu Xin suddenly ordered to rest where he was. Today is also the earliest day to rest in these days. In these days, everyone has
Liu Xin was so tortured that after nightfall, except for the soldiers on duty, everyone else quickly fell asleep.
At three o'clock in the morning, the call for assembly suddenly sounded again in the camp. Liu Xin walked out of the tent, fully clothed. No matter how urgent the situation was, Liu Xin would always wear the iconic white robe, and in a military uniform like today's situation
, this is the first time in the impression of Jushou, Dianwei and others.
Just when everyone looked surprised, Liu Xin quickly issued an order. All the family members accompanying the army continued to rest where they were. The 10,000 cavalrymen of the First Army and the 5,000 flying tiger guards immediately gathered and followed him to Chang'an.
This group of people are all cavalry. Even at the normal marching speed, they will arrive in Chang'an City two full days earlier than originally planned. Moreover, during the march over the past few days, Liu Xin was sometimes faster and sometimes faster.
Slow down, stop at the word, go at the word, completely disrupting the deployment of Jushou and others. It is estimated that Tian Feng, Guo Jia and others waiting in Chang'an City are already very anxious at this time. They really don't know where Liu Xin will be.
Arrive in Chang'an on time.
Jushou didn't want such a situation to happen, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Why did my lord have to travel all night? Is it because of those two urgent military messages?"
Along the way, Liu Xin received two urgent military messages. In the past, Liu Xin would have discussed it with the people around him, and at the worst, would have asked Ju Shou to take a look. But this time, Liu Xin was uncharacteristically, he would only read it after reading it.
It was destroyed immediately, which made Jushou very uneasy. Not only Jushou, but also Xu Huang and Dian Wei became taciturn. It was only then that Jushou saw Liu Xin in military uniform and had the courage to ask. He was very worried about Chang'an.
Something major happened.
Liu Xin waved her hand and said: "It's getting late, hurry up and get on your horse. Evil, Xingba, Bofu, you three will go with me, the others will stay!"
In fact, everyone wanted to know what the two urgent military messages were, but Liu Xin never said anything, and others did not dare to ask more, so they had to follow his instructions. So the group left the camp and headed towards Chang'an.
Gallop away.
This journey was really non-stop. When we arrived at Chang'an City, it was not yet dawn and it was not time to open the city gate. After riding the horse for such a long distance in one breath, Jushou was already exhausted. However, he
Still struggling, he stepped forward and said, "My lord, please wait a moment. I will call for the city gate to be opened right now."
Liu Xin shook his head and said: "No need, everyone should dismount and rest, cheer up later, hold your head high, and enter Chang'an City with high morale!"
There is a small square pavilion five miles outside the east gate of Chang'an. It was built for passing guests to rest. Usually some vendors would come here to sell some fruits for tea. It is still dark now, and the pavilion is empty.
It became Liu Xin's temporary command post. It was said to be a command post, but in fact Liu Xin did not issue any orders. He just sent Li Yan with a few personal guards, changed into common people's clothes, to find out when the city gate would be opened.
.
Although the city gate has not yet opened, many people have gathered outside the city gate. Most of them are villagers from the suburbs. They want to go into the city to sell vegetables and to remove the city's feces out of the city. To do these things, they have to catch up.
It was early in the morning. Therefore, Li Yan found out the time of Kaicheng without much effort, which was at two o'clock in the morning.
Liu Xin nodded and said: "Gather at the quarter of the hour and set off at the second quarter!"
At two o'clock in the morning, after the city gate opened, the people waiting outside the city swarmed in. Now is a peaceful time, and there is no need to investigate any prisoners, and the guards at the city gate will not be too strict. Basically, these miserable people will
They turned a blind eye. When these people entered the city, it was still early, and it would take more than half an hour for anyone to come in or out. At this time, the city gate became deserted again. However, the gatekeeper
The soldiers did not go back to sleep again. They still stood in two rows with their spears and swords in their hands, full of energy.
When the city gate slowly opened, Liu Xin's army also set off. They ran five miles and arrived at the city gate. It was the most deserted time at the city gate. Entering the city at this time would hardly have any impact on the lives of the people.
inconvenient.
It dawned early in the summer, and fifteen thousand cavalry were still far away from the city gate when they were discovered by the soldiers guarding the city gate. The horn sound of "woo woo woo" sounded over the east gate, which was a warning from the soldiers guarding the gate.
Suddenly, a group of men and horses rushed out from the city gate and stood in front of Liu Xin. The leading general, carrying an iron gun, was Zhang He.
Zhang He had already seen the person coming, and was shocked. He abandoned his iron spear, rolled his saddle and dismounted his horse, stood by the road with his hands crossed, and said loudly: "I didn't know that the lord was coming, and I didn't meet you from a distance. Please forgive me, lord!"
When Liu Xin heard that Zhang He suddenly changed his name and called himself his lord, Liu Xin knew that he must have been involved in that event. In fact, except for Dian Wei and Xu Chu, other generals above the deputy army commander level, all the cabinet bachelors, and the six ministers were almost all involved.
In order to persuade Liu Xin to ascend the throne this time, Cai Yong even wrote the persuasion form and the congratulation form himself.
The reason why Dian Wei and Xu Chu did not participate was not because they were rude and incapable of making plans, but because of their positions. They were the commanders of the Feihu Guards, and the Xinhu Guards were Liu Xin's troops.
Such an army and their generals should only be absolutely loyal to Liu Xin. Even if it is something that is beneficial to Liu Xin, they cannot do it without Liu Xin's order. Therefore, when everyone was discussing this matter, it was very difficult to do it.
Dian Wei and Xu Chu were excluded tacitly.
While Zhang He was surprised, Liu Xin was also quite surprised. Although the local army in Chang'an City has not yet been established, and the various legions take turns to defend it, but it is not wartime, and there is no need for Zhang He, the legion commander, to defend it personally.
City.
Liu Xin couldn't help but her face darkened, and she said, "Jun Yi, why are you here?"
