Lei Chong Geng Hao, who fled back to Huguang from Guangxi, has left Changsha Mansion for Beijing. Zhang Fu no longer asked about the matter.

Standing on the west tower of Fucheng, Zhang Fu can see the wide Xiangjiang River directly, and even the four islands of Orange Island, Zhizhou, Oath Continent and Quanzhou in the center of the river (Orange Island) can also be faintly visible.

The island's oranges are ripe. At noon today, at the dining table, Zhang Fu also saw cut oranges, which the pro-military generals said were produced on Juzhou Island.

In the distance, among the thick green foliage, the orange-red fruits were particularly bright in the sun; On the rippling river, the warships of the Daming Navy Division spread their white sails and were heading south with the wind, like white clouds.

At this moment, the scenery of Xiangjiang River is wonderful and magnificent.

In recent days, the official ships and warships that have gone south in batches are heading to Tanzhou.

Zhang Fu had already ordered He Fubu, the left wing of the Pinghan army, to move from Tanzhou to Hengzhou. These ships can not only be responsible for transporting all the baggage of more than 100,000 troops, but also help He Fujun cross the Xiangjiang River very conveniently.

Hengzhou (Hengyang) to the south is also on the banks of the Xiangjiang River, located on the west bank. Considering that the Han rebels had entered Guilin, Guangxi, Zhang Fu intended to shift the center of gravity of the army south; Therefore, He Fubu was mobilized to stand in Hengzhou first......

At this time, the naval division had been deployed, and a large number of warships were cruising on the waters of the Dajiang, Dongting, and Xiangjiang rivers. This fleet, formerly known as the Chaohu Naval Division, was the main force of the naval division of the Ming Dynasty and was established before the founding of the country; Except for the surrender without a fight during the Battle of Jingjing, there has never been a defeat.

The main naval division of the Ming Dynasty has the most, strongest and most elite warships in the world at this time, not only equipped with all kinds of artillery guns, but also many thunderbolts, rockets, divine fire crows and other weapons more than 30 kinds. Because ships were the most powerful means of transport at this time, the officers and men were able to have sufficient and huge quantities of ammunition, and the ship's firearms could even provide fire support directly from the water to the land.

Zhang Fu, the general of the Pinghan Dynasty, can conclude without arrogance: anywhere in the world known, there is no naval division that is qualified to fight with the Ming naval division; Not to mention winning or losing.

The Han King rebels are also completely unqualified! Their only sailors were supposed to be a rabble of warships captured in Sichuan; There was no sailor in the Guangxi direction, and after defeating Wu Gao, the rebels may have only obtained some official ships and a small number of warships on the Li River.

Therefore, if the Han Wangjun wanted to seize the right to control the water of the Xiangjiang River, it was not possible at all.

The important towns in the central and southern part of Huguang Province, such as Yuezhou, Changsha and Tanzhou, were all built on the east bank of Dongting Lake and the Xiangjiang River; The officers and troops relied on these important towns along the river to transport grain and grass with water divisions, and hundreds of thousands of military supplies were in short supply.

Moreover, the officers and troops have the advantage of being a sailor, occupying the Xiangjiang River and controlling the north and south of Huguang. The fleet went south with the wind and the north with the water, which allowed the armies of all walks of life to travel lightly and simply, relying on water transportation and rapid dispatch and maneuvering.

At this time, the official army can be said to have taken advantage of the time and place!

"Marshal, our officers and soldiers are strong and strong, and they travel north and south along the Xiangjiang River; What if the traitor was frightened and did not dare to come? A general next to him said worriedly.

Zhang Fu pondered for a moment, and said in an undoubted tone: "The traitor king will come." ”

At this time, he suddenly turned his head and asked, "He Fushang is still in Tanzhou?" ”

The general who spoke just now bowed and said: "Back to the big marshal, the people of the Jinyi Guard follow the meaning of the big marshal, and they are still asking the two unknown people around him, He Fu can't leave for the time being." ”

"When Jinyiwei returns to Changsha, call me immediately." Zhang Fudao.

The military general clasped his fists and bowed: "Yes." ”

Zhang Fu has no good impression and trust for Xu Huizu, Wu Gao, He Fu and other cadres. However, he instructed Huguang's Jinyi guards to investigate He Fu, not entirely out of personal likes and dislikes.

Zhang Fu believes that He Fu does have some things that people have to be suspicious! For example, his younger brother He Lu is nowhere to be found, and he was impeached by Chen Ying in the Yongle Dynasty, and he has not made it clear until now.

When He Fu was in the "Battle of Jingyan", he was also quite desperate to fight the Jingnan army. Such a person with a complicated identity can actually lead the military power of the deputy general of Ping Hanzuo, and his status is second only to Zhang Fu! Zhang Fu is facing the most important battle in his career, can he rest assured that he will hand over the left wing to He Fu?

So Zhang Fu personally made a series of arrangements, and the target was not Wu Gao, who had already finished playing, but He Fu!

He first used Wu Gao's surrender to alert the saints and the princes of the imperial court, that is, Jianwen's surrender was not reliable at all; Then take advantage of this gust of wind to turn over He Fu's original problems and investigate them again, so that the court monarchs and ministers can understand the risks.

Zhang Fu hoped that He Fu could be replaced with Jiaozhi and Huang Zhong would come back to lead the left wing. Huang Zhong's ability to command troops is definitely far from He Fu, but at least he can be trusted.

…… The Jinyi guards sent to Huguang were the people of the Fusi of Beizhen, who ran errands above the ground, and most of the time would obey the orders of the generals and ministers appointed by the imperial court; However, they are not subordinate to these generals, and they are still under the direct management of the Beizhen Fusi.

So when the matter involved He Fu, He Fu had no way to refuse interrogation.

In the mansion of Tanzhou Xingyuan, Jinyiwei used three wings. He Fu and his two personal soldiers Li Sheng (Chen Dazhu) and Daniel Zhang (Zhang Sheng) each had one room each and were questioned separately.

I don't know how long it took, but the two Jinyi Guard captains finally came over with their confessions. The military general sitting next to He Fu looked at it first, but handed it to He Fu to look at.

"What's going on? Ben Jiang has long said that these two people are cousins, and they served Ben Jiang several years ago. After reading it, He Fu put the confession still on the table and said very unhappily.

The military general of Jinyi Wei said: "These two people are not in the military, but there is no contradiction in their respective statements......

He Fu said angrily: "Then what do you mean? ”

The Jinyi guard military general said: "It's still the same meaning, and no one has confirmed their identities." I hope that the marquis will be angry! Think about it, if you take a show talent in a local county, you have to come forward with a local show talent and a few township elders to guarantee your identity in black and white; What's more, the people around you, they have to serve a big man like Hou Ye! ”

"He's a mother! Can't Lao Tzu vouch for them? I, the left deputy general of the Pinghan army, is not as good as Xiucai and a few village elders? He Fu slapped his palm on several cases, "You really want to move me and bring the holy decree." As long as the saint says a word, I He Fu will not blink his eyelids, and the head will be taken back for you! ”

"It's serious, it's serious!" The Jinyi Wei military general hurriedly accompanied the smiling face and said, "Master Hou, you have a lot of adults, but you can understand that the villains are also ordered to do errands, but they are asked according to the rules, and there is no disrespect!" In this case, the little ones took their leave, and these confessions were truthfully reported. ”

"Humph!" He Fu said angrily, "I won't send it far!" ”

After a while, Chen Dazhui and Zhang Sheng came to this side room, hugged their fists together and said, "The little ones come to see Master Hou." ”

Chen Da Hammer is five big and three thick. Zhang Sheng was thinner, and his courage didn't seem to be so big, he took the lead and said: "Master Hou, we just want to go to you to beg for food, if we cause you a lot of trouble, why don't we go back to our hometown?" ”

He Fu glanced at Zhang Sheng, raised his hand and made a gesture, and said, "Don't be impatient." ”

Chen Dazhui glanced back at the door and whispered in a very small voice: "General Zhang, don't be afraid, the military households in Cangzhou have all died once, and it is impossible to find out what is going on." ”

He Fu frowned and said: "It's still the British duke who did it, otherwise these brocade guards are too low, and they won't get along with people like us, and they won't be so difficult." ”

"What then?" Zhang Sheng asked.

He Fu whispered quietly: "Now you can't go!" Otherwise, Zhang Fu happened to have something to say. If asked where you have been, how to reply; Dare you really go to Cangzhou? Be careful! ”

The two clasped their fists and bowed: "The last general will obey the orders of the marquis." ”

He Fu waved his hand and told them to leave.

After a while, He Fu walked to the lobby, and a group of civil and military officers came up to salute. He Fu looked back left and right, scolded and said, "Mother! When Ben led his troops to fight in the south and the north, some people didn't know where they were! ”

Everyone persuaded for a while. There are all kinds of people in it, and there may be people who have been bought by Zhang Fu; After all, that Zhang Fu and his father Zhang Yu are also old people in the Jingnan Army, and He Fu has people transferred from the Beijing camp (many soldiers from the Jingnan Army).

However, as a general, He Fuping suffered "wronged" and wronged in vain, and it is normal to complain a few words. There are no complaints, but it seems that he is too scheming and has a ghost in his heart.

He Fu took a few deep breaths, looked like he had suppressed his anger, and said: "But no matter what, there is no joke in the army, and military orders cannot be violated. Prepare now, and our Chinese army will also set off for the south. ”

"The last general will wait for the order!" Everyone said in unison.

He Fu sat at the table above, looking at a map in front of him, pondering something, and no longer spoke.

Of course, he was not pondering the battle situation, because he didn't want to fight this battle at all, and he didn't even want to see the official army win! He was worried at the moment, only worried that his affairs would be exposed.

He Fu is feeling very bad now. He felt that he was a criminal, but the bad thing was indeed done by him, so he could only beat him to death and refuse to admit it...... The two traitors around him are one of his conclusive "crimes", and they are now being targeted by political enemies!

In addition, there is more than one thing that He Fu cannot explain: one is that his younger brother and the other is his wife's niece, both of whom have disappeared inexplicably.

At the moment, others don't know, but how can He Fu not count in his heart? These things can be linked, and then the causes and consequences of his collusion with the enemy can be explained clearly.

It is impossible for He Fu not to be afraid. The opponent has already found a breakthrough and finds out, maybe it is only a matter of time. As the saying goes, if you don't know what you don't know, you can't do it yourself; The truth seems to be only a layer of window paper!

He was now wondering how far away the day of catastrophe would be......
