Outside the Wangjing Gate, Chang Yu turned over from the horse and rushed directly to Guo Ren and hugged a few of them: "Why did you come back so late, our family thought it was ......" This move moved Li Yan and the others, the little eunuch usually looked indifferent, but in fact, he was worried about these relatives, and Yuan Jixian's look next to him was even more evocative.

The eyes of several people immediately turned red: "It's too late for the subordinates to find out more news, but we have long been prepared to go and have no return, and the governor can rest assured that we will die and pull a cushion, and we will definitely not give our Dongchang a loss."

"This is going to die nine times for a lifetime, since there will be a blessing after the catastrophe and not dying" Chang Yu adjusted his mood and laughed, and went back to the city to have a good chat.

In the lobby of the Yamen, Chang Yu and Yuan Jixian, Li Yan, Huang Degong, Gao Jie, and Li Muxian sat in a row, drinking tea and chatting, without any impatience on their faces, and he had enough patience to wait for the situation to be washed and cleaned.

When the tea was changed to the third cup, Guo Ren and a few guards walked into the lobby: "Let the governor and a few adults wait for a long time."

"Sit down and say" Chang Yu pointed to the seat next to him, and quickly waved his hand: "Subordinates don't need to ......"

"Sit down" Chang Yu glared, and the few people obediently found a chair to sit down, but it was not as comfortable as standing.

"First tell the overseer a good news, Zuo Liangyu is gone, he is loading the grain and grass on the ship before leaving from his humble position, and it is estimated that it will arrive within two days" Yuan Jixian exhaled a long breath with a word, Chang Yu's expression did not change but immediately asked the guards to give an order, send additional manpower to guard outside the city, and directly arrest suspicious people.

Yuan Jixian was stunned for a moment and then reacted, the little eunuch was taking precautions to prevent Zuo Liangyu from obeying the grain transport in the open, but secretly he was transporting troops to sneak attack, and secretly sighed that this little eunuch was very cautious.

Then Guo Ren saw that he saw Zuo Liangyu and told him in detail, Chang Yu and the others also listened carefully, asked questions from time to time, and told him about the situation.

"Is it clear that the troops in the city can be felt?" Chang Yu's fingers kept tapping lightly on the table, his face was slightly solemn, and he thought for a while: "Although it is not exhaustive, 200,000 is obviously exaggerated."

"Then say something you can be sure of," Chang Yu said, raising his eyebrows: "Wuchang's Jinyi guards can't figure out the detailed number?" Guo Ren sighed, with some anger on his face: "According to the observation of the lowly position, eight or nine out of ten Jinyi guards in Wuchang have been bought by Zuo Liangyu, and they have become his eyes and ears instead of spying on him...... Although the number of troops in Wuchang is unknown, there are 60,000 or 70,000 troops stationed in Hanyang City on the other side of the river, and even more."

"Who is stationed in Hanyang?" Li Yan asked.

"Ma Jinzhong and Wang Yuncheng" As soon as Guo Ren spoke, Gao Jie couldn't help but hey: "Good guy, mix 100,000 and the Iron Rider King, they are all old friends."

Ma Jinzhong was originally Li Zicheng's subordinate, he and Gao Jie surrendered on the front and back feet, and they also knew each other in the thief army back then, as for the iron cavalry king Wang Yuncheng is a veteran under Zuo Liangyu, don't look at the two of them now are just generals, when they arrived in Nanming, Emperor Yongli named them a Hanyang King and a Yueyang Bo, I have to say that Nanming's title is simply a pheasant university graduation certificate, without a little gold content, very, very worthless.

Because of the tenacity, their stay in Wuchang was too short, Zuo Liangyu's people were too close, and most of the Jinyi guards over there were bought by Zuo Liangyu, so they didn't collect too much useful information.

But the leopard in the tube can be seen, these are enough, Hanyang City is garrisoned with 60,000 or 70,000 troops, then Wuchang City is only a lot more, 200,000 is a bit exaggerated, but 150,000 or 60,000 or some, after all, this goods have accumulated a lot over the years to pick up this family and pick up that family background.

"Even if he is 150,000 or 60,000, if he throws away the empty salary, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, he will die of 100,000 people, and the damn will blow to the sky!" Gao Jie sneered again and again: "Even if you kill him now, it's impossible to say who will kill him."

Chang Yu smiled bitterly: "Now we are strong outside and middle-class, logistics and grass are not enough, the soldiers are tired of fighting, Wuchang City has the Yangtze River natural danger, and we have a greater chance of dying if we go to fight him at this time."

Gao Jie wanted to say a few more words, Li Yan waved his hand: "Don't think about how to fight now, since he chose to follow, he is not ready to turn his face with the court, at least for the time being, how we should deal with it next is the most important thing."

"General Li is right, as expected, the reason why Zuo Liangyu responded happily was actually just a delaying strategy, and he didn't want to tear his face with the court now, but it doesn't mean that he really has no dissent, he is waiting for an opportunity" Li Muxian's speculation was agreed by everyone, including Chang Yu.

So what should I do next, just to defend him in Jiujiang?

As the old saying goes, it's better to be blocked than to be sparse.

We can't let him be idle, we can't let him recuperate, we have to find him some work.

So Chang Yu planned to force him again.

Two days later, on Gantang Lake, where Zhou Yu trained the sailors, Chang Yu and Chen Sole stood up for fishing, and Li Yan and Li Muxian were playing in the Yanyu Pavilion behind them, and Yuan Jixian was watching.

"Ah Le" Chang Yu turned his head and called Chen Suole: "Why did Mr. Huang go to our house and get up early in the morning without seeing others, and what about Gao Jie?" ”

Chen Suole glanced around, and said in a low voice: "One said that he was going to listen to the music, and the other said that he was going to see the play, and the martial law theater in this city was closed, Dugong, where did you say they came to watch the opera and listen to the music?" ”

Chang Yu couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Early in the morning, such a rough addiction, hehe, you won't go to the same place, don't fight."

Chen Sole shook his head: "The road led by the little guy in the yamen, one goes to the south of the city, the other goes to the east of the city, and the face can't be touched" Picking a rod to catch a crucian carp while speaking, he couldn't help but say proudly: "Duke, look at how fatty this fish is, and turn around to boil a pot of fish soup for you, it's absolutely fresh" Chang Yu snorted: "The water of Gantang Lake comes from the spring of Lushan, and if you don't do it, it comes from the same place as the Lushan Waterfall, and the water quality is clear and the fish is ......delicious."

At this moment, a fast boat on the lake came, and he shouted loudly from afar: "Report, Governor, De'an has been released."

The guards couldn't help cheering loudly when they heard the news, Li Muxian and Li Yan also hurriedly came over to say hello to Chang Yu, Yuan Jixian was even more excited and almost burst into tears, but he was more surprised by the speed and results of the officers and soldiers.

But then look at the little eunuch's side, casually ordered himself to run to the mountains and rivers, and his subordinates rushed to kill the past, and the progress was amazing, only three or four days to break into the mountains, entrenched in De'an for several years of direct thieves' den to end.

What kind of magic does this little eunuch have that can make the unruly generals obey him, and be able to stimulate their potential to become belligerent, good at fighting and invincible!

The good news was sent by the king, this is the unique blessing of the general, who can be sent later and the first to attack the city of De'an, said a few words The thief army in the city fought inwardly, and the thief head was killed and the remaining more than 800 thieves surrendered.

To be honest, Chang Yu's attention at this time was not there at all, and this kind of good news didn't mean much to him, if there must be, it would be a successful end to his southward retreat.

What do you want to come, at noon when everyone is eating in the yamen, the guards in the north of the city come to report: there are a large number of grain ships down the river in the upper reaches of the river, less than ten miles away from the city, everyone heard the news and directly threw down the dishes and chopsticks and ran towards the north of the city, went to the head of the city to watch, and saw in the distance that there was a fleet stretching for several miles on the west river, not to mention hundreds of ships, not to mention the ships of ordinary caravans.

Chang Yu knew that Zuo Liangyu's grain was coming.
