The summer march is the most troublesome, the sunny day is too hot, the rainy day is too sinful, the cloudy day is cool but you have to try your luck, anyway, even if the morale of the march on a rainy day today will gradually become low because of the weather.

But most people are still excited, there are too many factors mixed in, some people because of the blood of the soldiers, some because of the reward, and some because of the stimulus, such as the previous provocative words of the Black Wolf Battalion, but no matter what, the morale is okay at the moment, even if the enemy army is suddenly encountered, they can immediately pull it over and do it.

Out of the city to run due south is a lot of hills, so the army went west along the riverbank to the south, more than ten miles because the sky has darkened because of the rain, Chang Yu ordered the army to rest and repair for a while, after all, just pull out of the yo-yo to gradually give a tired and disabled but the gain outweighs the loss.

At this time, although the rain was light but dripping, the soldiers were looking for trees on the side of the road to hide and rest their feet to fill their hunger, Lu Daqi, Xu Hongji and others came to Chang Yu's car to report the military situation, in fact, it was the state and reaction of the soldiers, and he needed to master these details.

In the chat, the Malay newspaper was explored, and Jin Shenghuan's pioneer had been repaired in Daishan twenty years away, and Chang Yu knew that in the future there was a cemetery full of graves, and now it should be a wild mountain mausoleum that is rarely visited.

Chang Yu asked about the enemy again, and Tanma told him that there was no trace of the thief army within fifty miles, but it was not ruled out that there were thieves who were meticulously working, after all, Wuhu was only two hundred miles away from Nanjing, and it was impossible for the thief army not to send people to reconnoitre.

"If you find a suspicion and kill it directly, you would rather kill it by mistake than let it go, and try to hide the movement of the army as much as possible" Chang Yu's words made Lu Daqi and the others gasp in their hearts, and even Chang Yanling changed color, after all, it was the great eunuch of Dongchang who was ruthless.

Chang Yu asked again: "Can you find out who the thief will be and how the troops are deployed?" ”

In fact, Chang Yu sent a large number of Dongchang Fanzi and Jinyiwei to the south to collect information before he went south, and when he was in Fengyang Mansion, he had learned that the thief army of 2,000 had entered Wuhu, and he wanted to know the latest information after a few days.

"The thief is called Wang Zamao, and more than half of his troops are 2,000 cavalry, but his nearly 20,000 homeless people are very powerful, and at this time it has been found that the officers and soldiers on the other side are building fortifications on the riverbank...... "The spy told me, Chang Yu couldn't help but shake his head lightly with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Wang Zamao...... It's kind of interesting".

"This thief is not very public?" Xu Hongji asked curiously

"I've just heard of this mixed name" Chang Yu seemed to smile, and sighed in his heart.

Why do you say that, just because this Wang Zamao and Jin Shenghuan are very related, in history, after the king killed Bai Wang, he descended to the Qing Dynasty and worked with Jin Shenghuan to collect Jiangxi, and then Jin Shenghuan bought Wang Zamao to kill Wang Zizhong and annexed his soldiers and horses, and then the two were embarrassed to work together, first to serve the Tartar master, and then to rebel together, and later by the Nanming court to seal a founding duke, which also shows that Nanming's title is really worthless.

Fate, wonderful, although Chang Yu's little butterfly instigated its wings to change the trajectory of many people and things, but there will be inextricable links in the dark, Jin Shenghuan is the pioneer at this time, and he is the first to face Wang Zamao head-on.

Interesting.

"Isn't this thief going to be very powerful?" Xu Hongji thought that if ordinary people couldn't reach the ears of the little eunuch, he looked at Lu Daqi with doubts, he should know who he was when he suppressed bandits in Jiangxi, but Lu Daqi was confused, he really hadn't heard of this person.

"It's just an ant," Chang Yu smiled slightly.

At the beginning of the night, the rain finally stopped, and the army continued to march for dozens of miles, and it was late at night, the soldiers were tired and the horses were tired, Chang Yu ordered to repair, looking around, the west is the rolling Yangtze River, the east is full of barren mountains and mountains, and the army guide pointed to several black shadows in the east: "That's Ma Shantou, that's Ma Shanzi, that's Yangshanzi......"

"Isn't it almost to Ma'anshan" Chang Yu suddenly thought that there was a Ma'anshan between Nanjing and Wuhu, but Ma'anshan City did not exist at this time, but this casual sentence aroused everyone's interest, Xu Hongji stroked his beard and said: "It seems that Chang Gonggong has also heard this legend."

"What legend?" Chang Yu was stunned. Xu Hongji didn't pay attention to his expression, and raised his hand to the west: "On the other side of the river is the Wujiang River where the overlord of Western Chu killed himself, and this Ma'anshan is said to be the saddle of the treasure horse Wuqi under his crotch......

Well, it's this kind of mythical legend again, Chang Yu smiled slightly: "But I don't know that Wujiang is still there?" In his memory, there was no trace of Wujiang in later generations, Xu Hongji shook his head: "The vicissitudes of Wujiang are no longer available, but the town of Wujiang is still there" said and pointed to the southeast: "That Ma'anshan is still there, but it is only a small hill."

"How much can a saddle change" Chang Yanling said with a smile, everyone echoed and continued to say some legends, Chang Yu listened to it tastelessly, but it was not good to sweep everyone's interest, in fact, he also knew that it was impossible for these people to lead troops to fight for the first time without being nervous, just to distract the tension through small talk.

The night is getting deeper, the generals have fallen asleep, several bigwigs may be nervous or maybe too excited and not sleepy at all, chatting together, Chang Yu silently calculated in his heart that this place is only a hundred miles away from Wuhu, and he is about to enter a combat state He has no intention of being idle here, so he decided to change the car and take the first step.

All the bigwigs were shocked, the further they went, the more dangerous they became, how could this eunuch be involved in danger if he had an accident, and he was only afraid of ...... So they discouraged one after another, who knew that this kind of thing was just commonplace for common use.

Seeing that everyone had no choice but to dissuade them, Chang Yu ordered Lao Jiu's black wolf battalion to stay behind to guard the army: "If there is a traitor who disturbs the people or violates the order, he will not go forward and cut it first" This was naturally said in front of Xu Hongji and others, and the warning could not be more obvious.

Chang Yanling pulled Chang Yu aside and whispered: "Bring more people over, these hundred or so guards around him are too risky" It can be seen that he really cares about this junior, Chang Yu was slightly moved: "Uncle, don't worry, these more than 100 people can be worth thousands of troops, even if they encounter the main force of the thief army, they can retreat" Seeing that he was so confident, Chang Yanling couldn't help but say a few more words: "Be careful to make the ship ...... ten thousand years"

The dumb babbling also wanted to follow, but Chang Yu refused: "There is a war ahead, you don't need to lead the horse to catch the carriage, you can just show the carriage to the governor in the back" The dumb man nodded although he was reluctant, he had an incomparable dependence on Chang Yu, just because the little eunuch never humiliated him or mocked him, for a beggar who suffered countless blank eyes and bullying, Chang Yu was his patron saint.

"If anyone dares to fucking bully him, he will not be able to get by with Lao Tzu, and if he can't get by with Lao Tzu, he will not be able to get by with Lao Tzu's knife" Wu Zhong looked at the people around him with a murderous face, and then walked to the dumb man: "Don't run around, if someone bullies you, turn around and tell Lao Tzu."

The dumb man nodded vigorously, Li Muxian pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "If you don't bully him, no one will bully him."

"Lao Tzu can bully him, but others can't" Wu Zhong said sharply, Chang Yu went up and kicked him away: "The ghost in the middle of the night cries wolf and howls a ghost."

Chang Yu left, and walked away with a group of guards of less than 100 people, watching it disappear into the night, Lu Daqi, Xu Hongji and others looked at each other and smiled bitterly, is this person acting like this, or is it just like this?

"Hey, that dumb man, your master......" Zhao Zhilong raised his hand and just wanted to greet Chang Ben, who was sitting on the wheel and wiping his tears, a person flashed in front of him, Lao Jiu said coldly: "Don't provoke him, Boss Wu's warning you must remember."

"Do you fucking know who Lao Tzu is, talk to Lao Tzu like this" Zhao Zhilong was furious, raised his hand and pushed Lao Jiuyi: "What kind of Wu boss is a personal servant, what can he do to Lao Tzu?" ”

Lao Jiu was pushed by him, but he was not annoyed, and sneered: "The little one knows that you are the Hou Ye, but the little one has seen a lot, and there is nothing with three heads and six arms, as for the Wu boss, although he is just a personal servant, the treasure knife in his hand is a gift from the emperor, and the Beijing guards are in war, one person and one knife alone block half a hundred Tartar dead soldiers to guard the city gate, Hou Ye, it doesn't matter if you don't look down on him, but you have to weigh the knife carefully."

"You dare to scare Ben Hou!" Zhao Zhilong was furious, raised the whip and was about to smoke Lao Jiu, but he heard a few clicks, and several people around Lao Jiu had their knives out of the sheath, Zhao Zhilong's face changed immediately, and the whip that was raised couldn't fall, at this time, Lu Daqi and Xu Hongji hurriedly came over to persuade each other: "Don't hurt the peace, don't mess up the overall situation......

"At this time, I forgive you for not convincing, but how can the dignified marquis allow you to be bullied, this matter has to be said in front of Chang Gonggong "Zhao Zhilong snorted coldly, and found a step to go down, but Lao Jiu said lightly: "To be honest, I really hope that your whip will be drawn."

"You don't dare to ...... when you are the marquis" Zhao Zhilong was furious, Lu Daqi hurriedly pulled Lao Jiu away and said in a low voice: "If you see it, you will accept it, after all, he is a Hou master, you have repeatedly provoked things, and I am afraid that it will be inconvenient for Chang Gonggong" Lao Jiu snorted and walked to the side of the carriage and said to the mute: "Chang Ben, if someone bullies you, tell our brothers, don't be afraid of them, this master, that master, in front of our family governor is not enough to see!" ”

As soon as these words came out, they immediately aroused the disgust of everyone, and they secretly scolded the little eunuch for being so arrogant on weekdays, and even Chang Yanling couldn't help frowning, in fact, this is really a bit wronged Chang Yu, it is true that his subordinates are unruly, but they are generally knowledgeable, and Lao Jiu is an exception, this thing only fights and kills on weekdays, and he doesn't know much about human affairs, to put it bluntly, he is a little stunned.
