The insects chirped endlessly on a summer night, Chang Yu ate a few pieces of ice watermelon and lay in the pavilion with his eyes closed, Lianxin stood next to him and helped him gently pinch his neck: "My lord, is this Fengyang the ancestral tomb of Emperor Taizu?" “

Chang Yu shook his head: "The ancestral tomb is next to Hongze Lake in Xuyi County in the east, where the great ancestor of Emperor Taizu is buried, the tomb of the great-grandfather and the actual mausoleum of his grandfather, Fengyang is called the Imperial Tomb, and the parents and brothers and sisters-in-law of Emperor Taizu are buried" He paused when he said: "I will go to the tomb early tomorrow morning."

Lianxin was stunned: "Is the lord paying for the emperor?" “

"I have to go to both public and private" Chang Yu opened his eyes: "Chengzu has come here four times to pay homage to the mausoleum, and it is stipulated in the "Daming Huidian Renzu Mausoleum" that all officials who pass by on official business must visit the mausoleum, and I want to go even more as an internal official."

"Can Ming'er take the slave and maid with me?" Lianxin was a little curious, Chang Yu shook his head: "That kind of place is inconvenient for you girls."

When he was talking, he heard a little noise outside, it turned out to be Gao Jie, Liu Zeqing, and Liu Liangzuo, and Chang Yu hurriedly got up to greet him: "The three generals are so fast, but you have caught up."

"Hey, no matter how fast it is, it can't be as fast as the factory superintendent, only half a day late, but the foot journey has chased four or five hundred miles, but the lowly officials are tired" Gao Jie was just about to speak when Liu Zeqing grabbed the lead.

Chang Yu laughed, recruited the three of them to sit in the pavilion, and asked Lianxin to prepare some melons and fruits to quench the heat and quench their thirst, chatting about the situation all the way, and learned that the soldiers and horses under the command of the three were still crossing the river, and more than 10,000 people estimated that they could all cross the river in a cool weather, and Lu Zhenfei was also quite conscientious, personally assisting in crossing the river by the river.

Gao Jie and the three of them galloped for hundreds of miles all the way, and they were tired and tired without asking: "I wanted you to trim up a little, but the current military situation in the south is too urgent, and we are still marching in a hurry."

Gao Jie and the three frowned when they heard this, and looked at each other: "Isn't it that the thief army has already hit Nanjing?" “。

"Although it is not far away, it is not far away" Chang Yu's face was solemn: "The thief army went south along the river, and the intelligence showed that its vanguard soldiers and horses were already in Wuhu County (Nanzhili Taiping Mansion)"

"The thief is so fast," Gao Jie and the three of them were surprised.

"Going down the river, there is almost no obstacle all the way, just like when the thieves crossed the Yellow River to the east in the previous battle, there are few troops stationed in various prefectures and counties, either they are unable to resist, or they directly open the door and surrender, it is difficult for him to think about it quickly" Chang Yu sneered.

The three of them sighed and were speechless, they had heard too much about this kind of thing, and they had seen too much.

"Do you know how many soldiers and horses are in the vanguard of the thief army?" Liu Liangzuo asked.

"There were more than 2,000 of them, and after entering the country, they were divided into several units and plundered everywhere." Chang Yu blurted out, and Liu Liangzuo and the three of them looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

"More than 2,000 is not to be feared, only three of us soldiers and horses can destroy them!" Liu Liangzuo looked proud, although this guy's character is not good, but in the past few years, he has done countless battles with Zhang Xianzhong in Luzhou and Anqing, and he has rich experience in suppressing bandits, and he also has a certain strength.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple" Liu Zeqing squinted: "Wuhu is only more than 200 miles away from Nanjing, but it takes us four or five hundred miles to get to Nanjing......

"Do you think the two thousand of them will dare to go to Nanjing?" Gao Jie pouted: "In Lao Tzu's view, these pioneers are just exploring the way, by the way, plundering and preparing grain and grass for the rear, if you want to attack Nanjing, you have to wait for the army to assemble, besides, although we are far away from them, but we are cavalry, we can reach the city of Nanjing in two days at most......"

"What you can think of, is it possible that I can't think of it" Liu Zeqing was interrupted by Gao Jie and looked very unhappy: "I naturally know that these two thousand thieves can't make it into the climate, and it won't put much pressure on Nanjing, but it is a fatal blow to Wuhu County, I'm afraid that when we arrive, Wuhu will be occupied by the thief army."

"Occupy it, the thief army will go south to occupy countless cities, and there is no difference between one more and one less." Gao Jie snorted and spread his hands: "What's the big deal!" “

"There are many differences" Liu Liangzuo said loudly: "Wuhu is the gateway to Nanjing, and if the thief army occupies it, it will have a foothold, so it can be ......discussed in the long run."

"It's big, he'll take it back if he takes it, and we'll grab it back......" Gao Jie rolled his eyes.

Chang Yu looked at the three of them fighting, and shook his head with a wry smile beside him, this was Li Muxian walking slowly from outside, Gao Jie and the three knew that he was Chang Yu's very important staff, so they quickly got up to say hello.

"The Taoist is clever, tell me how to break this game?" Liu Liangzuo patted his ass and asked, Li Muxian asked the reason, stroked his beard and chuckled: "Judging from the poor road, you better go wash and sleep first."

Well, Gao Jie and the three of them turned their heads to look at Chang Yu in a daze.

Chang Yu smiled slightly and nodded: "What the Taoist chief said is right, you have been in the dust all the way, rest early, it is in vain to say anything before you get to the ground, and you will be improvising when you get to the place."

The three of them thought about it, and they were really tired from galloping all the way, so they quit and went to the guest room to rest, and only Li Muxian and Chang Yu were left in the pavilion and smiled.

"Whether it's fighting for merit or rushing to perform, at least now everyone thinks about rushing forward, which is a good thing" Li Muxian picked up the teapot and made a cup for Chang Yu: "The adults have been planning for months, and the means have finally worked."

Chang Yu smiled slightly: "If the hard work doesn't work, I will really vomit three liters of blood."

"The high means of your majesty, especially the speculation and use of other people's thoughts, are really only seen in the life of the poor Dao" Li Muxian was sincerely admired, but Chang Yu pouted and gave him a roll of his eyes: "You have only seen a few pieces of heaven, and throughout the ages, which of the courtiers and military generals has not played these routines."

Li Muxian smiled: "At most, they are just having a good time, but how many people laughed at the end?" Let's not talk about the power of the former sages, just talk about the dynasty, Sun Chuanting, Yang Sichang, Lu Xiangsheng, or Hong Chengchou......"

"Yes, yes, yes, what do you want to do with such a high hat for our family?" Chang Yu knows how many times he is heavy, and none of those big guys can be compared to him, but they are constrained too much not because they are incompetent, and Chang Yu's success is that the sword is on the edge, the time and place are favorable, and various factors are indispensable, and they cannot be replicated.

"Poor Dao doesn't ask for anything, but I sincerely admire" Li Muxian said.

"Go, go, you can rest too, our family is also tired" Chang Yu said and got up and stretched: "Ming'er has to get up early."

"Your Excellency, are you going to the Tomb?" Li Muxian asked.

Chang Yu snorted: "Are you going to take a look at feng shui tomorrow?" ”

Li Muxian laughed: "Adults, don't ridicule the poor Dao, the royal feng shui treasures are all dragon veins, do you still use me, a wild Taoist, to show you."

"You've learned to be humble," Chang Yu yawned and turned to leave.

In the middle of the night, the governor's yamen was silent, but the Huai River ferry twenty miles away was full of people, and Gao Jie and other three soldiers and horses were still crossing the river one after another.

On the official road more than 50 miles southwest of Fengyang, more than ten horsemen were galloping sideways in the direction of Nanjing.
