Chapter 1401: Wandering

At noon, Chang Yu wrote a secret fold to Emperor Chongzhen in the county government, since Tongling, he broke off, Chongzhen urged him several times, and now the overall situation has been decided to update a few chapters for him while he is free, and Li Yan is next to him to write a book, he does not have to write a secret fold but in the battle report and merit statistics, this way south fought a few battles, who will fight, how many troops participating in the battle, how many victories and losses, how casualties and how to be clear, he is the commander of the West Road and for the little eunuch to do the East Road statistics, this thing will then be reported to the court and the Ministry of War.

The two of them were busy, Huang Degong and Gao Jie finally woke up, rubbed their sleepy eyes, smashed their heads, and scolded that they would never drink again, and suddenly saw Li Yan when they were confused, could it be that they went back to Anqing last night?

"Leaving his post without permission, this is a big mistake, read the overseer's intercession, and he will be lightly punished, and each person will go to the palace camp to receive fifty military sticks" Li Yan snorted coldly, Gao Jie and Huang Degong glanced at each other, and quickly walked up to Li Yan with a smile and pinched his shoulders and beat his back: "General Li, don't give face to the overseer, we don't need him to intercede, just, just fine silver, one hundred taels per person, two hundred taels is fine, then the military stick will be waived......"

What are you kidding, fifty military sticks, the gang of people in the palace battalion are so ruthless, and they are not soft on beating their own people, two days ago, Fan Jiaqian and Hu Ling led twenty military sticks and still can't lie down and sleep, not to mention the two general soldiers, Huang Degong is still an earl, and he still has the face of the military stick in public.

In the laughter and scolding, the kitchen prepared some light meals, and several people gathered around to eat and discuss military merits, mainly in Wang Tizhong, Li Yan thought that Wang Tizhong's surrender to Cheng made Bai Wang's offensive stop and change the offensive to defense, and for the officers and soldiers, it was directly changed from passive to active, which was a great achievement.

In terms of his merits, Gao Jie and Huang Degong have no objections, but in terms of rewards, the two of them feel that how many generals have never touched the edge of life and death struggle for a lifetime, so it is too advantageous to give him such a thing.

Chang Yu brought the previous set of rhetoric with Li Muxian to a few people, and he had promised to do his best to promote it, but Li Yan heard a trace of unusual taste from these words: "Overseer, in fact, the imperial court did not promise to capture Bai Wang and make him knighted, right?" ”

Chang Yu smiled and said something very shocking: "This governor has agreed."

Several people have their own experiences.

As soon as the meal was finished, information was sent: Hukou County had been broken, and Lu Daqi and Liu Liangzuo joined forces to divide troops from both sides of Poyang Lake and attack Huanglong. Chang Yu smiled when he heard the news: "Within five days, the dust will settle, and if you are bored, you will go to Jiujiang with the governor to go shopping."

Li Yan and others readily agreed.

As a personal staff, Li Muxian naturally wants to go together, Chang Yu left Chen Wangting, several wounded people in Wuzhong were recuperating in the city, and Li Yan was very careful to leave six personal soldiers to help take care of them, after all, Chang Yu had insufficient personal soldiers around him at this time and could not keep any more people.

Everyone doesn't need to carry grain, grass, baggage or anything to ride lightly, out of the city to cross Yao to cross the river to the west to run along the river, in fact, it is easier to take the waterway, but Chang Yu is very active, and he can be anxious to run hundreds of miles on the boat, not to mention that he also has to observe the people's feelings along the way.

Just after the heavy rain, the road was muddy, and there were river beaches, hills and swamps, everyone walked and stopped until it was dark, and then walked only dozens of miles, rested in a small village at the foot of the mountain, and inquired about the local villagers that the mountain was called Ma'anshan!

Chang Yu thought it was funny, in fact, at this time, there was only Dangtu City next to Nanjing and there was no Ma'anshan, and the villager saw Chang Yu's face in surprise and said: "Did the official think of the Ma'anshan of the Chu overlord over there?"

"Hey, fellow, do you still know about Ma'anshan over there, the villagers pouted, I also know that there is a famous mountain called Yellow Mountain, we also have Yellow Mountain here, and the mountain that you walk ten miles further and block the way by the river is Yellow Mountain......"

Chang Yu saw that the villager was good at chatting, so he had a good chat, and asked if the officers and soldiers had attacked in the past, and the villager replied very sincerely: "Mu You, when they crossed the border, we all hid in the mountains......

Chang Yu was speechless: "Then why didn't you hide when we came" The villagers were very real: "I didn't have time, and there are few of you...... The last time the army crossed the border, we came back and found that everything in the house was fine, and we knew that it was a good soldier......"

After resting for half an hour, Chang Yu and his party continued to go west, walking for ten miles and still being blocked by a mountain by the river, but this Yellow Mountain is a little shabby, it is a small mountain.

There are still more than 300 miles to Jiujiang, fortunately, Changyu is not in a hurry, as long as it does not rain, it is very cool and comfortable to walk at night, there are many villages and towns along the way, you can spend the night at any time when you are tired, like a tour of the mountains and rivers.

And Wuchang City, hundreds of miles away, although it is late at night, but from Hanyang Gate (one of the west gates of the city) to Wangshan Gate (one of the south gates of the city) outside the catfish set, several miles of long wharf people come and go, bustling, the wharf ships are lined up, one is loaded, and the next one is connected...... Zuo Liangyu finally bowed his head to reality, and decided to temporarily agree to Chang Yu's request, provide him with grain, grass and ten thousand stones, and hand them over to his son Zuo Mengeng to personally escort to Jiujiang, because he was only given five days, so he had to do it as soon as possible.

Guo Ren had already said goodbye in the evening, Zuo Liangyu gave him enough reward and asked him to bring a letter to Chang Yu, since he agreed, it was still very necessary to maintain the friendship on the scene.

At noon the next day, Chang Yu and his entourage arrived in Pengze County, a county town not much bigger than Dongliu at this time in the hands of the brothers Chen Sole, in their words, Lu Daqi and Wang Tizhong did not let them in when they crossed the border, but they were worried that the army would disturb the people in the city, and Lu Daqi and his party were not reluctant, after all, they were from Dongchang, and they would not be able to suppress them.

However, Chang Yu was more concerned about how they took Peng Ze, whether there were any brothers injured or something, the result was much more than he expected, it turned out that the brothers led fifty horsemen, all the way to the city in the rain, and wanted to rest for a long time to think about how to take the city, but the result was ...... The city gate was wide open for people to enter and exit, and two thieves lazily guarded the gate at the city gate.

So the two brothers galloped over, and the thieves guarding the door were furious: "Where did you dare to go to this wilderness......"

"So, so, didn't fight?" Chang Yu was stunned, and the Chen brothers nodded vigorously: "I didn't fight, I just surrendered."

"Where's the pawn?"

"Kill them all, just half an hour after the subordinates seized the city, many people cried at the gate of the Daoya, and accused these thieves of doing a lot of evil, and they were angry with the people, so they killed them all" Chen Ruxin pointed to the head hanging at the city gate, Chang Yu noticed it, and couldn't help frowning: "The stench has been put for a long time on a hot day, and I threw it to feed the dogs." After resting in Peng Ze for an afternoon, after everyone had dinner at dusk, Chang Yu and his entourage left again, this time taking Chen Suole and thirty personal guards, leaving Chen Ruxin and twenty personal guards to guard the city.

Peng Ze is a hundred miles away from Hukou, but the road is much smoother than before, everyone is full of food and drink, blowing a cool breeze, sometimes riding horses galloping and sometimes slowing down to recuperate, at dawn there are still twenty miles away from Hukou County when they found a large number of officers and soldiers, the guards asked forward, it was Hua Ma Liu's subordinates who said that they were preparing to open up along the east bank of Poyang Lake to the south to recover Duchang, and by the way blocked the back road of the thief army, because Liu Wenbing led his troops to take the west side of the mountain road into the mountain, De'an's thief army will inevitably send troops to use the terrain to snipe after getting the report, But he may not have imagined that there was actually a team of soldiers and horses from elsewhere to outflank him, which was also the tactical part of Liu Zeqing and Liu Wenbing's discussion.

Chang Yu doesn't care about these at all, there is an experienced Hua Ma Liu in charge, and Wang Tizhong, a general, the two groups of soldiers and horses together are tens of thousands, and they can't get it by copying a rat's nest, so don't say that they are fighting with him in the future, and they can't afford to lose this person.
