In the middle of summer, after the rainy season, the haze was swept away, and it was prosperous and peaceful inside and outside.

Today's Jiankang City, the long street is straight and open, the market is orderly, and it has the majesty of the capital of a country.

The environment has a subtle binding force on people, and a sloppy person who is unkempt will naturally have a sense of crampedness in a clean, tidy, open and bright hall, and will feel uncomfortable, and even change himself in order to match with the environment. After all, there are still a few people in this world who have no skin and no face.

In the past, although Jiankang City was prosperous, there was no real city wall, and there were shacks through Changganli, where displaced people gathered and thieves flocked. The government has also made efforts to rectify it, but with little success.

However, now, with the completion of the Xinchengfang District, refugees have moved in one after another, and even if they are not allowed to be resettled for the time being, they are all arranged to live in several settlements such as Tunan, and support their families by working for pay.

Therefore, in today's Jiankang City, the atmosphere is suddenly suppressed, although the people are also difficult to wear satin, but the linen shirts and short brown are also striving to be clean and tidy, and they no longer see the appearance of groups of people who do not cover their bodies and are unkempt. What people want, first eat and then clothes, when the appearance is concerned, it is conceivable that the livelihood must also be guaranteed.

Of course, the environment is not only constrained by the small people, in the past, there was no shortage of powerful children who drank and competed and swaggered in the city, but now those prodigals have gradually reined in. On the one hand, the establishment of Fang City, the management of the city guard is more convenient, and there is less room for exploiting loopholes, on the other hand, it is also because the brothels and amusement parks have been concentrated near Qingxi in the east of the city, and there are not many places to play in the city.

At the beginning of the year, there was a rebellion in Jiangzhou, and then Yuzhou used troops in the north, to be honest, it did not have a profound impact on the people in the capital. The river is separated by two worlds, and what can arouse the public's extensive participation in the discussion is only that the price of rice has risen a few cents today.

But the lack of waves on the surface does not mean that the entire Jiankang City is indifferent to the war in Jiangbei. In fact, there are countless people who are worried about the news of Jiangbei, and even have trouble sleeping and eating.

In the vicinity of Stone Town in the west of the city, servants from all over the city have been gathered, keeping a close eye on passing ships.

Because of the chaos in Jiangzhou, the vitality has not recovered, so the passenger and cargo ships coming from the west have been drastically reduced and become scarce. But there are also two or three boats arriving every day, and every time a boat sails into the water fence and waits to enter the city, many people will rush forward from all directions to ask for news.

If the owner of the ship did not know the details, he would have said that the people in the capital were so hospitable. But every time they reported the way they were, the people who rushed forward to inquire eagerly would scatter and leave the boat there, which was very embarrassing.

Since June, similar scenarios have played out several times a day, rain or shine. So much so that the defenders of Stone Town took it as a sight, and even bet that a few ships would arrive tomorrow.

Finally, one day in July, the sun was shining, and two light boats sailed into the port of call from the water gate, and a similar scene continued to be staged. Some of the servants were either tired of the scorching sun and were lazy, or they were a little slow to fall behind, and simply turned back halfway. But they had barely taken a few steps back when they heard a loud cheer behind them!

What's going on?

The people in the rear were still suspicious in their hearts, and there were already people dancing and rushing to the city in front of them, sprinkling excited cheers along the way: "Great victory, Yuzhou big victory!" Shen Hou won a big victory, and all the thieves were annihilated! ”

On this sunny summer morning, starting from the two boats at the Watergate Pier in Stone Town, the cheers began to spread rapidly, and a large number of people rushed towards the city while cheering.

"Hefei victory!"

"Yuzhou is a big victory, Jiangbei is a big victory!"

"Shen Hou won a big victory, beheaded thousands!"

The West Market is the most prosperous location in the city, and it is also the first place to be hit by the victory report. But most of the people were still a little puzzled and suspicious of the cheers: "Horse Shen Hou beheaded thousands? Is there chaos outside the capital? ”

"Don't the old slaves know that Shen Yuma has already left the capital to go north to kill slaves, and now the good news has been sent back, Hefei has been restored, and Wang Shi has reached Huainan!"

Hearing the explanations of those cheerers, the people around them couldn't calm down, and they were about to ask for more details, and someone had already rushed out of the warehouse next to them and shouted: "The king has a great victory, the horse has reported the victory, the goods in the warehouse, 100 dollars minus 10, congratulations!" ”

So the people's passion was completely ignited, and while rushing to the store, they shouted: "The horses have returned to Huainan, and tens of thousands of slaves and thieves have been encircled and suppressed!" ”

The news was transmitted to the city for the first time, and fortunately, the scale of Jiankang City was not very large, otherwise by the time the news was transmitted to Taicheng, it might have become "the horse stepped on the court, and the stone thief Shilong had been awarded"!

But even so, when shouts were heard outside the city, the number of beheadings had been exaggerated to tens of thousands. Several soldiers at the city gate heard the cheers, and hurriedly reported to the commander of the army, and after receiving the report, those guards and generals couldn't calm down.

Taicheng, which was originally as calm as a lake, is now like a torrential rain and hail smashing down, and everyone is uneasy in the room, running outside, wanting to inquire about some credible news.

There is also no shortage of people to climb the city wall of Taicheng, listen to the cheers of the people under the city, but the cheers are becoming more and more exaggerated and deformed, out of the roar between the front and back of one person has moved the Wang Shi from the recovery of Huainan to Nanyang and even Yanzhou, which suddenly makes people very messy, I don't know whether to believe or not, and I don't know where these small people have heard so many place names!

The whole Taicheng was in chaos, and the Taiwanese ministers had different opinions when they asked each other, and they didn't know what to believe at all. The so-called recovery of Yanzhou Yunyun, even if there is no battle with his fingers, it is impossible for the horses to gallop there in such a short period of time!

Finally, in this dazed chaos, the melodious bell rang outside the Taiji Hall in the north, summoning those with more than 600 stones in the stage to enter the hall to face the king. So everyone couldn't care about asking each other anymore, no matter how high or low they were, they went to the Taiji Hall one after another. Many ministers who were not of sufficient rank were naturally blocked by the guards, but they did not disperse, but they just shouted at the top of their voices to the officials who rushed into the hall to remember to pass the message later.

"Prime Minister Wang is here!"

"Chu Zhongshu is here!"

"The Yu Protector is also here......"

A cadre of Taiwan auxiliary ministers also left their own official offices, the prime-aged people strode forward, and the old ones jumped three times in one step, and their postures were all gimmicky. However, at this time, everyone didn't have much smile, and the first arrivals looked around one by one, trying to see a hint from the expressions of these Taifu princes who were present, but they didn't get anything.

"Has the informant entered Taiwan? Is there any conclusive news? ”

Wang Dao traveled all the way, and he had no intention of paying attention to the inquiries of everyone along the way, and met with several other Taifu in front of the palace, but saw that the expressions on the faces of several people were also dazed, and then he turned to Yu Tan and asked.

Yu Tan is in charge of the Protector Mansion, if it is believed, it must be the Protector Mansion first, not to mention that no one in Taiwan knows that this old guy is Shen Zhezi's backer in Taiwan. As for Wen Qiao, who has no shortage of blatant cover-ups, he has recently been recuperating at home due to old illnesses and has not been present at the moment.

As Director Wang asked, everyone looked at Yutan. Yu Tan was still rubbing his legs with his head down, his old bones were also very tired all the way, and when he saw everyone looking, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "There is no good news in the department yet......

When everyone heard this, they were all dumbfounded, and even the Protector Mansion hadn't received the news yet, so where did this victory come from? Could it be an oolong?

"Based on the day Shen Weizhou leaves the capital, Wang Shi must have reached Hefei now. Judging from the last few days, the results of the battle should also arrive in the capital in the near future. How exactly will the winner ...... defeated?"

Chu Yu groaned, his brows were already frowning, no matter what the outcome was, the news that had not yet determined the source had already made the city a sensation, if the news of the war was unfavorable in the follow-up, how would it end?

After everyone heard this, there was a trace of helplessness and bitter smile on their faces, although they didn't want to admit it, they still felt that this should be fake news. After all, time is here, even if you rush directly into Hefei to quickly defeat the Hefei defenders, sort out the results and report to the capital, this time is not enough!

Of course, these people don't know that the real big battle is not in Hefei, but in the upper reaches of Tushui, and the straight-line distance from them is only a few hundred miles!

"Although the news has not yet been decided, the people of the capital are happy to spread this news, which shows that they have high hopes for Shen Weizhou, and everyone is eager to win! I hope Shen Weizhou can live up to the ......"

Director Wang sighed, and then said that although the contradiction between him and the Shen family has become irreconcilable, it has risen to a military event, and he sincerely hopes to win. After all, if Jiangbei is defeated, Jiangdong can be more stable, and once defeated, the situation will be more turbulent, which will not benefit anyone.

However, before Director Wang's voice fell, there was already a shout from behind the crowd outside the hall: "Good news, good news from Yuzhou!" ”

"Really?"

Several people glanced at each other, and their eyes were shocked. In particular, Yu Tan was even more old, jumping more than three feet high to see where the shouts came from, and quickly ordered the general of the guard beside him to say: "Quickly introduce the victor into the palace!" ”

Big win, real big win!

The conclusive battle report in black and white was placed in front of everyone, and the hearts of everyone were put down. While breathing a sigh of relief, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, obviously the shouting outside had reached Huainan and beheaded more than 10,000 people, how could the battle report be so fruitful?

At the same time, there was a trace of loss in their hearts, and everyone couldn't help but laugh dumbly, they didn't think this good news was true before, but now they were actually affected by the wild words of those stupid people! Could it be that in their subconscious, they also feel that those absurd and exaggerated remarks are not impossible to complete?

It turned out that unconsciously, no matter what their senses were about that kid, they already had an inexplicable trust in him.

"Shen Weizhou, the true countryman!"

This war report not only explains the specific war gains, but also details the war process. So everyone also understood why the good news would come so quickly, it turned out that the battle site was not in Hefei, but in Tu Shui! Shen Zhezi's first brigade was deflected, annihilating and capturing more than thousands of people under Huang Quan's department, and even the main general Huang Quan was killed!

It is naturally difficult to cover everything on paper. When everyone saw the process of the war, they couldn't help but have some strange feelings in their hearts, and they all felt that this slave general was really tired of it, and he didn't stay in Hefei, but he wanted to run to Tushui, but he ran into a more terrible opponent! Didn't he know that this kid was even more difficult than Yu Yi? He probably didn't know......
