Chapter 1045 Confused
The steamboat was spewing rolling black smoke and sailing on the Yangtze River.
When Jin Feng returned to Jinchuan from the East China Sea, King Wu and King Xiang of Chu tried his best to intercept the Yangtze River.
However, in recent months, steamships have traveled back and forth on the Yangtze River several times, and have never encountered any obstacles again.
King Wu, King Chu, King Xiang, didn't know where he was hiding, and did not dare to make any noise, for fear of attracting Jin Feng's attention, so he attracted Zhenyuan Escort Agency.
Although they all understood that when Jin Feng dealt with the Qin King and Jin Prince, they would definitely come to Jiangnan to deal with them, but it would be a day to hide. What if the assassination team finds an opportunity to kill Jin Feng?
So King Wu, King Chu, King Xiang, have all stopped recently. Not to mention steamships, even ordinary merchant ships dare not intercept them.
However, the people along the Yangtze River were very curious about steamboats. When they heard the whistle of steamboats, they gathered on the shore to watch.
"Old Han, how far is it to Yushan?"
Tang Fei stood on the deck and looked ahead.
When Jin Feng was ambushed by bandits, he risked his life to send a message to Jin Feng. Jin Feng did not get into the bandits' encirclement, but instead found a small hill and took advantage of the terrain to support him.
After that incident, Tang Fei and Han Feng joined the Zhenyuan Escort Agency.
Han Feng was active and eloquent, and soon became Jin Feng's right-hand man.
Tang Fei's performance was very average and he had been in a middle-level position in the escort agency.
But neither Jin Feng nor Zhang Liang forgot him. This time he went to Pingjiang County was actually a chance to give Tang Fei.
If this mission is completed well, Zhang Liang will definitely promote him when he returns.
Although Tang Fei was honest, he was not a fool and guessed Zhang Liang's intention.
Moreover, he originally admired General Fan very much, so he treated this mission very carefully.
At this time, more than a thousand members of the bodyguard and Zhong Ming's team were pulled on the steamship. However, in order to prevent the enemy from discovering clues, Tang Fei asked most of the bodyguards to hide in the cabin under the deck and piled up a lot of supplies on the deck.
Even if the fine works arranged by the King of Wu on the riverside were seen, he would think that the steamship was transporting supplies to the East China Sea or Yuguan City, just like before, and would not be suspicious.
"According to normal circumstances, you can arrive tomorrow afternoon or evening." Han Feng glanced at the map and replied.
They are now going downstream, and with the push of the steam engine, they are very fast.
However, Yushan was Changshu in Jin Feng's previous life, located in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Even if they were on the fastest journey and did not stop at night, they would not arrive until tomorrow afternoon.
If it is faster, the risk factor will increase sharply.
Han Feng has been on a steamboat several times and speculated that it is very accurate.
As expected, the steamship went dark the next day before finally arrived at Yushan County.
Although Pingjiang County belongs to the south of the Yangtze River, it is not on the bank of the Yangtze River. If you want to go from the Yangtze River to Pingjiang County, you must cross Yushan County.
However, Tang Fei did not let the escort get ashore, but instead docked the steamboat in a river berth not far from Yushan County Wharf.
Even if there are speedboats in front of you, it is not very safe to sail at night. The steamboat has been stopped on the Yangtze River many times before. In addition, the King of Wu's careful work could not have expected that Jin Feng would come to Wu without any warning, so he didn't care and thought that the steamboat was just a routine stop and rest.
As a result, at dawn the next day, the steamboat suddenly rushed into Yushan Wharf, and hundreds of escorts rushed out.
The King of Wu who were stationed on the pier were all sleeping soundly and were directly captured.
After the corpsors got ashore, they did not stay at all, but followed the official road all the way south under the cover of the airship.
The county magistrate of Yushan County was frightened when he received the news. He thought the corpses were here to beat him. He was so scared that he ran away with his confidant and Jin Yinshun.
But after running dozens of miles, he received news again that the escort did not attack Yushan, but bypassed Yushan and continued to go south.
This is embarrassing.
When the county magistrate ran away, he only brought some gold, silver and soft materials, and didn't even bring his family. How can I explain when I go back?
The worst thing is that he did not report to the King of Wu either.
If the King of Wu blamed him, he would definitely not be able to escape at the last minute.
In recent months, the King of Wu has been frightened by the airship like a mouse, and he dared not show up at all. He is feeling depressed. A county magistrate and two county magistrates have been executed for a trivial matter.
He has made such a big deal now, and if the King of Wu knows, the consequences can be imagined.
Thinking of this, the county magistrate directly gave up the idea of going back, gritted his teeth, and continued to run away with his confidant.
In fact, it was not only the county magistrates, but also the other powerful and officials in Yushan County. When they heard that the Zhenyuan Escort Agency was coming, they ran faster than the other.
This is the reputation that Zhenyuan Escort Agency has hit with its fists.
Half a day later, the King of Wu, who was hiding in the mountains, also received news.
"Isn't Jin Feng fighting with the King of Qin? Why did he suddenly come to our place?"
The King of Wu asked with a frown.
The "civilian and military ministers" under his command look at me and I look at you, and no one dares to answer the conversation.
Actually, they were puzzled.
Even if Jin Feng wants to attack Jiangnan, he should start with the closer King Xiang. Why should he go far and fight against King Wu first?
Could it be that the King of Wu was the first to stop Jin Feng from returning to Jinchuan and was hated by Jin Feng?
But even so, Jin Feng should have attacked Wu Wangcheng first, not Yushan.
No, the bodyguard didn't hit Yushan either.
Due to lack of information, everyone from the King of Wu to his advisers was confused and didn't know what Jin Feng sent people to Wu for.
If the King of Wu had not been far from Yushan County, the King of Wu would have thought that Jin Feng had found his trace and came to catch him.
However, even so, the King of Wu immediately took his "civil and military ministers" to move, for fear of being attacked by Jin Feng.
As for sending people to intercept this team of escorts, King Wu had never thought about it.
Because he knew that with the combat effectiveness of the master soldiers under his command, it was impossible to stop them.
So Tang Fei and his team ran unobstructedly from the bank of the Yangtze River to Pingjiang County.
The success along the way made Han Feng and Tang Fei feel a little unbelievable.
After all, it was more than 100 miles from Pingjiang County to the Yangtze River. Even if the escorts marched all the way, they would have been running for two and a half days before they arrived.
The magistrate of Pingjiang County got the news the day before, but with the lessons from the magistrate of Yushan County, he did not escape immediately.
But who knew that after the escort arrived in Pingjiang County, he did not bypass, but directly blocked all the city gates with heavy crossbows and catapults.
Several airships appeared above Pingjiang County City.
The governor of Pingjiang County was stunned and came back to his senses afterwards. It turned out that the target of the escort was Pingjiang County.
Chapter completed!
