When the sky was slightly bright, Chang Yu got up, and when Lian Xin served him to wash and then combed his hair, Gao Jie and the others had already cleaned up and waited in the lobby.

Breakfast is eggs and vegetable porridge, very delicious, just after eating here, Lu Zhenfei hurried over, his eyes were red, Chang Yu asked with concern: "Have you ever slept for a while?" ”

"I slept for an hour" Lu Zhenfei smiled slightly bitterly, he personally sat in the town when the army crossed the river yesterday, and did not return to the house to rest until the end of the morning after the crossing, and he quickly got up at dawn to accompany Chang Yu and his party to Chenling.

The Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum is more than ten miles away in the south of the city, because Chang Yu's special identity and Gao Jie and other generals, so the scale is not small, and the rules can not be chaotic, and the local yamen officials accompanied by the local yamen officials went to the imperial tomb to worship.

When Lao Zhu did the world, he did two things in Fengyang, repairing the imperial mausoleum to build the capital, this imperial mausoleum also has a city wall, the ability to prevent thieves and thieves is a pity in Chongzhen eight years for Zhang Xianzhong to break Fengyang City when it was destroyed, at this time everywhere is ruins and weeds, into the eyes of the incomparably desolate, after all, at this time the whole country is in the wind and rain, where to take care of a few graves.

What is interesting is that in the past, it was popular to dig ancestral graves in wars, Zhang Xianzhong beat Fengyang when the imperial tomb of the old Zhu family was made into a miasma, Li Zicheng specially sent someone to Xuyi to dig the ancestral tomb, and Emperor Chongzhen also dug Li Zicheng's ancestral tomb after he knew, I heard that Lao Jiang also did this kind of thing, I don't know whether it is true or false.

However, fortunately, although the Imperial City of Zhongdu, which was once built with the imperial mausoleum, became an unfinished building and later turned into a royal high-walled prison, it became a lifesaver for many people at that time when Zhang Xianzhong attacked Fengyang.

Although Zhang Xianzhong captured Fengyang City, he could not enter the Fengyang High-Wall Prison, and local officials, eunuchs, and royal criminals escaped inside.

The procedures for the tomb are cumbersome, and it is almost noon to sit down with a set of procedures step by step.

After the incident, Chang Yu did not return to the city, but said goodbye to Lu Zhenfei and other officials in the imperial mausoleum, Gao Jie's soldiers and horses had all crossed the river in the early morning, and they had a long rest at this time, and the south should go south immediately.

"The thieves are powerful, and if the Overseer is useful, he will not hesitate to go to the soup and fight the fire." Lu Zhenfei had the intention of asking for war, Chang Yu thought for a moment: "The big war is imminent, how many people can't avoid it, Governor Lu still has to face the wind, the governor is very moved, since this is the case, then the governor will give you a future."

Lu Zhenfei was stunned: "The lower official doesn't know what the Lord Governor means."

Chang Yu smiled slightly: "You deal with the matter at hand first and then go south, if the thieves are swept away in this battle, Ma Shiying's vacant position will be occupied by you."

"Lord Xie Du" Lu Zhenfei was a little surprised, and he was also a little surprised, he had heard rumors about too many little eunuchs, including anyone who joined forces with him to defend against the enemy, whether it was a civil minister or a military general, as long as he did not die in battle, he would be promoted.

It's just that promotion is not the most important thing for him, and he is also a small group of people who are honest in their hearts and take loyalty to the country as their own responsibility.

For him, it would be good to be able to kill the enemy and calm the chaos and share the worries of the king.

Lu Zhenfei returned to Fengyang to explain the matter, and Chang Yu said goodbye to Gao Jie and the others: "You and the others swaggered through the city and went straight to Wuhu, striving to enter the country within three days, and the governor will go to Nanjing first."

"Swaggering? The Overseer doesn't mean to let us make a big noise and take the lead! "All three are battle-hardened veterans.

"That's right, the soldiers and horses have not yet taken the lead, no matter whether Wuhu has fallen into the hands of thieves at this time, but when they hear the mighty army, they will be frightened, either abandon the city and leave, or urgently urge reinforcements, no matter how they respond, it has messed up its military morale." Chang Yu smiled slightly, this is actually an old routine of ancient wars, sending one or two thousand troops can boast of millions, just scare the opponent first. Not to mention, even a few months ago, Li Zicheng's Eastern Expedition was also claimed to be one million, but in fact there were only more than 60,000 soldiers and horses, but some officials in the prefecture and city were frightened, and they planned to surrender early, and even went out of the city to welcome dozens of miles away to offer the city.

This is called attacking the heart first.

"Then we are shouting for an army of 200,000, anyway, the main force behind us is constantly going south, and it is difficult to determine whether it is true or false, even if it is fine" Liu Zeqing laughed: "Scare them first."

Everyone applauded.

Chang Yu talked to a few more people, then said goodbye to the south, nearly 400 horsemen stared at the scorching sun and galloped wildly, and ran for dozens of miles to meet a large town to rest temporarily.

The people of the town saw the soldiers and horses, but they did not dare to stop and watch from afar, and the officers and soldiers did not disturb their own peace.

Guo Ren inquired from the villagers and told Chang Yu that there was a mountain road twenty miles ahead, and after crossing the mountain, he would enter Lai'an County, and then south was the Yangtze River, and the opposite bank was Nanjing.

Chang Yu sighed, and suddenly realized that this town named Jiashan was not the Mingguang City of the later generations, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, the vicissitudes of life, who can know that this place will be prosperous after four hundred years.

The weather was hot, the soldiers rested in the shade of the trees to drink the horses to replenish dry food, Chang Yu looked up at the sun, this kind of sun at two or three o'clock in the afternoon is the most spicy, and it is easy to give a layer of skin off the sun.

Wu Zhong was teasing Chang Ben under an old locust tree: "Call Daddy, this cake will be eaten for you."

Changbenren's oddly high amount of food is also very large, and he has to eat three or five portions of ordinary people at a meal, which is staggering. And not only does he eat a lot of food, but he also eats very quickly, and after eating his own, he will stare at other people's, and he will stare at it without opening his mouth, and he will give some to him when he encounters a soft heart.

But he always wants to be a bottomless pit like a dissatisfied, Chang Yu is worried about whether this baby has some stomach problems, he is really afraid of eating and bursting his stomach, so he does not allow others to share food with him, he is very curious about how he eats so much on weekdays, no wonder he has lost weight into a bamboo pole.

Although Chang Ben was dumb but could listen, Wu Zhong was a little scared when he thought of ways to tease him all the way, but he couldn't resist the appetite, staring at the big cake and screaming.

Wu Zhong enjoyed it very much, grinned in response, threw the cake over, and Chang Ben swallowed it up after taking a few bites.

"You're happy, Anzhi isn't calling you grandson?" Li Muxian walked over and smiled, Wu Zhong was stunned for a moment, and stood up to catch Chang Ben: "Say, what is your name Lao Tzu?" ”

But he was dragged back by Li Muxia: "Why do you always give a dumb person and can't get by, didn't you hear how the little overseer warned you?" ”

As soon as Wu Zhong heard this, he looked at Chang Yu not far away, and just saw Chang Yu's eyes skimming, he immediately squatted down again, and secretly beckoned to Chang Ben: "Dumb, come over and let's chat, where are you from?" ”

"Don't you talk nonsense, let's meet the people of the city again." Li Muxian rolled his eyes, and Wu Zhong sighed: "Who the hell said that if you meet in Sucheng, you are from Sucheng, and he also met us in Sucheng, so are we from Sucheng, even if you are from Sucheng, Sucheng is so big, you know where he is."

Belch...... Li Muxian was dizzy, shook his head with a wry smile and was about to leave, and he was angry when he said a few more words this time, but he saw Chang Ben suddenly kneeling on the ground, kowtowing a few times with both hands to Guanyin, and pointing to the sky. It's like answering Wu Zhong's question.

"What do you mean, which Guanyin village or Bodhisattva village are you?" Wu Zhong frowned.

The dumb man shook his head vigorously, kowtowed and opened his hands to make a bird flying, and the onlookers who watched were confused, guessing what the dumb man was expressing, and even attracted Chang Yu.

"The dumb man may be a native of Fuliji, Fuliji has a mountain in the north, and Fu grass in the south is named. There are lush water and grass, swamps all over, pheasants flock in the meantime, the local residents caught and fed it, and gradually evolved into the famous Fuli Ma chicken, which is also the origin of the name of Fuli Ji roast chicken, you see that he does the bird shape actually refers to pheasants" Chang Yu guessed, everyone nodded.

"Otherwise," Li Muxian shook his head and walked to the dumb man as he spoke: "Are you in the same place as Queen Ma?" ”

Mmmmmm

Chang Yu slapped his head even more, the difference was thousands of miles, how could he forget that Zhu Yuanzhang's Queen Ma was a native of Sucheng, and later generations called Xinfeng Village, Jiagou Town, and passed nearby when he went south from Xuzhou.

It turns out that the dumb kowtow means the queen's mother, and the bird-like shape refers to the phoenix in the sky.

"It seems that this dumb man is quite smart," Wu Zhong pinched his chin and said with a smile.

"So, it's really possible that he was calling your grandson just now, and you should be happy" Li Muxian laughed softly, and Wu Zhong was furious: "Call your great-grandson, call you gray grandson......"

Everyone laughed, and watching the two of them bicker was also a pastime when they were bored.
