From Yuzhou to the east, it is necessary to pass through Fuzhou, Zhongzhou, Wanzhou, Kuizhou, Bazhou, Guizhou, and Xiazhou, and then arrive in Jingzhou, with a journey of more than 1,000 miles, parallel by land and water, and the fastest will take ten days.

Starting from Yuzhou, the team has been walking for four days, but it is still at the boundary of Zhongzhou, and the speed is obviously much slower.

The resistance of the soldiers was quite strong, taking three steps and one step back, grinding and grinding, the marching speed was extremely slow, and they were fleeing all the way, especially at night, and the phenomenon of fleeing was even more serious.

Huo Xianming thus set up a special supervision army, which was specifically responsible for arresting fugitive soldiers, once caught, beheaded on the spot, and after killing hundreds of people, the phenomenon of escape gradually stopped.

That night, the flotilla arrived in Imgang County, Chungju, and the flotilla had to stop and wait for them because the march of the troops behind was too slow.

At this time, a group of more than 50 cavalry men galloped from a distance, and they galloped along the official road close to the Yangtze River, and hundreds of paces away was the Yangtze River, and the big ships parked on the river could be seen.

"Stop!"

A dozen sentries appeared in front and blocked the way of the cavalry ranks.

This cavalry team is Zhang Yun's team, they pretended to be the rear armament vanguard, followed Li Nai all the way over to register the food and material needs, but it was also unimpeded, and then went forward is a more sensitive fleet area, the eunuch group and the emperor's ships are located in this area, so there will be troops on the shore to sentry, and soldiers of unknown origin are strictly forbidden to approach.

Li Nai stepped forward and hugged his fists and said: "We are the rear armament vanguard, and we go to the army everywhere to register the needs of food and materials. ”

After speaking, he handed over the gold medal of the preparation team, and the sentry went back to discuss for a while, and the first sentry said, "Please wait a while, we will go and ask for instructions." ”

The first sentry galloped away, and after a short time ran back, "You can go!" ”

"Thank you!"

Li Nai saluted, turned around and shouted, "Let's go!" ”

He continued to run east with the cavalry, at this time, Huo Xianming and Dou Wenchang were sitting in the cabin drinking tea, and left Yuzhou smoothly, everyone was slightly relieved, as long as they arrived in Jingnan, they would completely get rid of the threat of Guo Song.

"What attitude does Dou Weng think Ma Sui, Liu Qia and Han Rong will have?" Huo Xianming asked.

Dou Wenchang smiled gloomily, "The so-called coercion of the Son of Heaven to order the princes, as long as the Queen Mother and the Little Emperor are in our hands, even if they have ten thousand dissatisfactions, they have to obey obediently, unless they openly betray the Tang Dynasty, but is it possible?" ”

Huo Xianming laughed and said: "Dou Weng is right, they are not Guo Song after all, it is indeed impossible." ”

"Dou Weng, is it suitable for the new capital to be placed in Hangzhou?" Huo Xianming asked again.

"We have no choice, put Jiangning, it's too dangerous, put Suzhou, it's a little far from the sea, only Hangzhou, you can attack, you can retreat, you can't defend it, you can't prevent it, you can also take a boat into the sea."

While the two were talking, there was a fierce sound of horses' hooves on the shore, and they looked at the shore at the same time, and in the darkness, they saw a group of cavalry galloping from a distance, and quickly went east.

"What's going on?"

Huo Xianming instructed left and right: "Go and ask, what did the cavalry team do just now?" ”

A eunuch ran out and asked, and after a while, he came back and reported: "Qi Xianweng, General Lou said that it was the cavalry of the preparation team." ”

The name of the preparation team was still thought up by Huo Xianming, it was the team sent by the rear army to register the needs of food and materials, Huo Xianming was stunned, and he asked again: "Has the demand on our side been registered?" ”

A general's voice came from outside, "Hui Xianweng, we have already registered, including a thousand blankets, and they will be delivered tomorrow morning." ”

At night, the river was quite cold, so they wanted to add blankets to protect them from the cold.

Dou Wenchang said with a smile: "Immortals won't suspect that they are cheating!" ”

Huo Xianming shook his head, "It's not going to happen, although Li Wanrong is a little uneasy, but after all, he has followed us for many years, I have considered it, even if he is loyal to the Queen Mother, as long as the Queen Mother is safe and sound, he will not have any dissent, and besides, the Queen Mother's ships are well guarded, what can dozens of them do?" ”

"Immortals always think too well of people, after we go to Hangzhou, we can't be as soft as before, we would rather kill a hundred by mistake than let one go!"

"That's right, it's better to kill a hundred by mistake than to let one go!"

The two applauded and laughed together.

..........

Zhang Yun and his entourage ran for more than ten miles, and hundreds of large tents suddenly appeared on the shore in front of them, which formed a semicircle and surrounded a large ship of 2,000 stones.

Zhang Yun was still worried about how to find the big ship that the emperor was on, but now he suddenly found the answer, it was so tightly defended, it could only be this big ship.

They made a careful plan before setting off, they put a few small boats on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and as long as they found a big boat, the small boats would come to meet them.

The group immediately proceeded according to the plan, and two soldiers with particularly good water skills dived into the Yangtze River and swam to the opposite shore, their task was to find two small boats and guide them to the side of the big boats.

Zhang Yun was observing the enemy's defenses, and most of the soldiers should be asleep, but there were sentries patrolling back and forth in the open space in front of the big ship, and there were also several sentries on the big ship pacing back and forth.

"General Zhang, this army is the defender of Zuoyintai, all of them are strong in martial arts, and they are not easy to deal with!"

"Isn't Zuoyintai disbanded?" Zhang Yun asked.

"The Jianghu warriors of Zuoyintai have been disbanded, but the elite guards drawn from the army are still there, that is, these two thousand people, directly led by Ju Wenzhen, there is no name for the time being, we still call them Zuoyintai Guards."

Speaking of this, Li Nai let out a long sigh, "The precautions are too tight, as long as we make a move, we will be exposed." ”

Zhang Yun smiled slightly, "Things are not so bad, there is our internal response in it." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier shouted in a low voice: "Who is it!" ”

As soon as Zhang Yun turned around, he saw a black shadow standing more than a dozen steps away to the south, which appeared silently, which really startled him.

However, this black shadow seemed to be a woman, his heart moved, and he whispered to the black shadow: "Excuse me, is it Ying Sanniang?" ”

The black shadow approached, it was a woman holding a long sword, and she said lightly: "I saw two people crossing the river in the water, so I guessed that General Zhang had arrived." ”

Although his appearance has changed, his voice has not changed, and it is really Ying Caihe, Zhang Yun was puzzled in his heart, so he asked: "How did Ying Sanniang get off the boat, we didn't see it?" ”

"Do I need you to see me when I come down?" It should be taken and cold.

Zhang Yun touched a nail, he shook his head secretly, and asked again: "Can the emperor and queen bring it down?" ”

"The little emperor can!"

Ying Caihe untied her cloak, and there was a sleeping child in her arms.

"He's ..... He's the little emperor? Zhang Yun was a little shocked.

"It's him, he's timid, he never cries, but his heart knows better than anyone else."

Ying Caihe carefully wrapped the child in a cloak again, and his eyes became so gentle, which really surprised Zhang Yun, is this still the female devil who kills people without blinking?

Ying Caihe stepped forward to hand the child to Zhang Yun, Zhang Yun hurriedly took it, and immediately arranged for ten soldiers to take the little emperor away first, and cross the Yangtze River from the back boat.

Looking at a group of soldiers walking away, he asked, "What about the Queen Mother?" ”

"The Queen Mother can't do it, I can't bring it, you should have prepared a boat!"

"It's two small boats."

"That's fine, when the boat comes, you will see the fire and move to cover me to get off the boat."

"Please make it clear to Sanniang, how do we do it? Who is the target? Zhang Yun asked anxiously.

"You don't have to worry about the ship, I've already killed all fifty guards, you just need to stop the guards on the shore from getting on board at the critical moment."

Li Nai was taken aback, and his voice changed, "Fifty people...... All killed? ”

Ying Caihe glanced at him and said coldly: "It's nothing, I drugged them during dinner, everyone slept soundly, one sword, fifty swords will be solved." ”

Zhang Yun secretly screamed in his heart, and immediately looked up at the boat, and sure enough, several sentries on the ship were gone.

"This woman does things ......"

Zhang Yun was really a little annoyed, this Ying Caihe was too reckless, he did it without consulting him, and he didn't know when his subordinates would be able to find the boat!

No matter how annoyed he was, there was no way to do it, Zhang Yun had to hold back his anger and nodded: "We will do our best!" ”

Ying Caihe actually realized that she had started a little too early, she thought that the ship was on the other side, but now she suddenly realized that she was afraid that the other party would have to look for the ship, which would take time.

But she would never admit that she had made a mistake in judgment, Ying Caihe was too lazy to say more, she leaned in lightly and threw herself into the darkness, and before everyone could see clearly, her person was gone, and everyone looked at each other, each in shock.
