When Han Xi heard this person's name for the woman, he suddenly realized that this woman was the big housekeeper of the East Wangfu in someone else's mouth.

Han Xi had heard it before, and heard that it was the king of the east who particularly trusted a woman, this woman was said to be the sister of a military general in the east palace, and she had a very personal relationship with the king of the east, and she became famous in the east palace, and now she is in charge of the grain dispatch of the entire east palace, and it can be said that the prime minister of the east palace has no official position.

Originally, Han Xi thought to himself, how could such a woman be in her thirties, looking old, sleek and sophisticated, but he didn't expect that she was just a young woman about twenty years old, and her attitude was very arrogant, and she looked like she was not approached.

I saw that the woman took the letter, and after reading it, she explained a few words to her entourage, and Han Xi listened with his ears pricked up, it seemed to be about the dispatch of the army.

When Han Xi heard this, he thought to himself, this woman is not only in charge of food, but also in charge of military and political affairs? Could it be that there is no one in Dongwangfu, and you want a woman to coordinate the overall situation?

"Han Zuocheng, why don't you leave?" County Lieutenant Li came over and said with a smile, "Han Zuocheng came, the official didn't have time to entertain, please forgive me." The official will not send much. ”

Han Xi felt very annoyed when he heard it, it's not that you can't entertain him well now, it's that a "nobleman" has come and despised him as a "slut".

Han Xi was a little annoyed, and said in his heart, I'll go out of the city to the ferry, make things difficult for you, and see who is begging whom.

Han Xi is a villain who does all kinds of evil in Jinling, and anyone who offends him will not end well. This is also his style, that is, the baht must be compared, so even if it is some official in the right place. and never bothered with him.

When Han Xi and his entourage arrived outside the city, before they could reach the ferry, they saw carriages transporting grain to the city. Han Xi was also a little dumbfounded at this time.

Without his orders, his generals actually let people carry food into the city?

"Han Zuocheng, you can be regarded as here." An adjutant had originally entered the city with a convoy carrying grain, and when he saw Han Xi, he immediately jumped off his horse.

"What's going on?" Han Xi grabbed the lieutenant's collar and shouted, "Without the official's order, you dare to put grain casually?" ”

"No, it's not. Han Zuocheng...... You'll find out when you go to the ferry. ”

The adjutant was helpless. It doesn't seem to be clear either.

Han Xi had no choice but to put away his anger first, got on his horse and followed the adjutant to the ferry, and the scene in front of him surprised him greatly.

Dongwangfu didn't know where to transfer a large number of troops to unload the ship, and Han Xi originally only knew that there were people in the local area. When I arrived at the border of Jiangdu, I didn't see a human figure. Now I can see it all clearly.

"Han Zuocheng. You say there are only so many of us. What can we do if someone wants to unload the ship? The adjutant said helplessly.

Han Xi was also a little annoyed, it was indeed the Dongwang Mansion that there were many people. came to forcibly unload the ship, after all, there were only a few hundred escorts and horses from Nanqi, and they couldn't stop it.

"Then you can't wait for the official to come over and release the grain?" Han Xi said angrily.

"People don't allow it!" The adjutant said, "Over there in the Dongwang Mansion, they came up and killed a few of us, saying that whoever stopped us would treat us as mountain bandits...... It'......"

"What, the one who killed us? Can this matter be lightly calculated? ”

Han Xi was angry from his heart, even if he was deflated, now that the Dongwang Mansion is clearly not giving face to Qi people, how can he swallow this breath?

"Follow the official into the city, what do you do with that...... Steward Lin, have a good theory! ”

Han Xi relied on the support of the mountain of Qi Dynasty behind him, and naturally felt that his waist was hard. Now it is the Qi people who are "kind" to borrow grain, and the grain is transported over, and the Dongwangfu is killing people on the side, and it is also the fault of the Dongwangfu that this matter is causing trouble.

He thought so, so he didn't have the heart to ask why the Dongwang Mansion was killing people.

When Han Xi returned to the city, before he could walk in the direction of the county office, he saw a group of people coming back with a disgraced face. Han Xi carefully identified it, isn't this Zhu Tongjing, who said two hours ago that he left for the north?

"Master Zhu, what are you ......" Han Xi saw Zhu Tongjing and immediately stepped forward.

Zhu Tongjing was covered in mud, as if he had just crawled out of the mire. Not only Zhu Tongjing alone, but also several entourages who came back with Zhu Tongjing were also very wolf, and some of them still had injuries on their bodies.

Han Xi clearly remembered that Zhu Tongjing had taken more than a hundred followers, but when he counted them again, there were only about 20 followers brought back by Zhu Tongjing. In other words, Zhu Tongjing only went out of the city for two hours, and he escaped from death.

Han Xi personally led the horse for Zhu Tongjing, helped Zhu Tongjing to dismount, as if he was a son, and greeted him with concern. But I was thinking, why didn't you die!

"Someone!" Zhu Tongjing dismounted, as if he was dizzy, and shouted, "Bring the national letter." ”

"Yes......"

The entourage hurriedly brought over the yellow package that was originally Zhu Tongjing, Zhu Tongjing threw the yellow package directly to the ground, stepped on it a few times, probably thinking that it would not be possible to destroy the package, so he asked the entourage next to him to make a fire and burn it.

But these entourages all fled back from the edge of death with Zhu Tongjing, and how could they still carry fire folds on their bodies?

"Master Zhu, this ...... It was given to you by the Queen Mother, how can you? Han Xi said with a puzzled expression.

"You know!" Zhu Tongjing also lost his usual gentlemanly demeanor, and shouted angrily, "Hurry up and find fire for Lao Tzu, it can't be burned, you and I will die here today!" “

Han Xi still didn't understand, but he was still very smart and knew that there were some things he shouldn't ask. How to say, Zhu Tongjing is also the most trusted person around the Queen Mother, and there are some things that he doesn't know but is safer.

Han Xi hurriedly asked someone to bring the fire over, and poured tung oil by the way, and the yellow package was considered to be burning. After a while, only ashes remained.

Zhu Tongjing was still not satisfied, and let the ashes be kicked away, so that he could breathe freely, as if he had done something great.

"Master Zhu...... But the Northern King's army has come over? ”

Han Xi heard that Zhu Tongjing had just said that it was a "letter of state" and that it was a matter of life and death, so he said in his heart that it should be a letter of state to Jiangdu, and the only explanation was that the cavalry of the Northern Wangfu had been killed, and he was going to burn the letter of state, so maybe the Northern Wangjun would let them go back to Southern Qi.

But he thought to himself, this is the city of Jiangdu, even if the Beiwang army comes, it may not be able to capture this county at any time, after all, the main goal of the Beiwang army after the victory should be Jiangdu, how can there be time to pay attention to such a small county town? Just for the food here?

"Yo, this is not Master Zhu, why did you turn around and come back?" Suddenly, a voice came from a distance, it was a woman's voice. Han Xi looked over with his gaze, and saw the woman he had seen before, and walked over with a mocking tone, as if he had expected Zhu Tongjing to go and return.

"Steward Lin, you came in time." Zhu Tongjing said with a smile on his face instead of anger.

Only then did Han Xi know that this "Steward Lin" was not simple, not only did the county lieutenant treat her with respect, but even Zhu Tong, who had always had no one in his eyes, treated her so respectfully.

Lin Xiaoshu glanced at the black thing on the ground, smiled coldly, as if he had guessed what was inside, and said, "Master Zhu, this time the little woman came for another purpose, which is to take Master Zhu to Jiangdu to see the East King." Is Master Zhu ready to go? ”

"This ......" Zhu Tongjing looked embarrassed, as if it was difficult to ride a tiger.

"Steward Lin, what do you mean by this? Right now...... Is the road to Jiangdu still open here? Han Xi jumped out and said.

At such a time, Han Xi knew that he should jump out and be the "sensible" "entourage".

Lin Xiaoshu smiled slightly and said, "Han Zuocheng, our Young Highness has no intention of inviting you over, you can go back to the south first." It's good to go, but not to send. ”

Han Xideng was angry, and said in his heart that your Dongwang Mansion was a fiasco this time, and you still dare to speak so proudly. Is this a dead pig not afraid of boiling water?

But seeing Zhu Tong bowing and saluting, he said, "Steward Lin will go back and clean up next, and then go to Jiangdu with you." ”

"Okay." Lin Xiaoshu nodded and said, "The little woman will wait." ”

After speaking, Lin Xiaoshu left with a proud face. Zhu Tongjing wiped the water stains on his face as if wiping sweat, and let out a long breath.

"Master Zhu, what the hell is going on?" Han Xi asked puzzled.

"Go back and talk!"

Zhu Tongjing said, the person had already taken a step and walked in the direction of the merchant house where he was temporarily staying before.

Han Xi followed behind him and chased Zhu Tongjing to the Merchant Pavilion, and when he arrived in the hall of the Merchant Pavilion, Zhu Tongjing sat down in annoyance, as if he was very disappointed.

"Master Zhu can speak now?" Han Xi's tone of voice was also a little disrespectful, in his opinion, it should be Zhu Tongjing who messed up something, which is why this is the case. An envoy who messed up things will be punished after returning to China, Han Xixin said that only by first stating his "position" can he get out of the matter after he returns.

"I didn't even find out the news, so I was asked to go north, this is to harm me!" Zhu Tongjing suddenly shouted loudly, as if he was complaining to him, as if he was talking to himself.

Han Xi still didn't understand.

"Han Zuocheng, I'll fix a book right away, and you will bring it back to Jinling to play the Queen Mother." Zhu Tongjing suddenly said to Han Xi.

"Yes." Han Xi commanded.

Zhu Tongjing immediately went to the desk on the side and took a pen and paper, and wrote the reason for the incident clearly on the paper.

Han Xi watched from the side for a long time, and only when he understood the whole thing did he gasp.

It turned out that last night's attack on the Jiangdu Soldiers and Horses Camp by the Northern Wangjun was just a cover, and the real result was that in the early hours of the morning, the Dongwang Mansion suddenly sent a large number of soldiers and horses. Not only did they annihilate the 6,000 cavalry of Lin Musk Deer in the south of Jiangdu City in one fell swoop, but it also seemed to be together with some of the Northern Wang Army and Luoyang Army in the north of Jiangdu.

This operation of the Eastern Wangfu is by no means just tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, it seems to involve hundreds of thousands or even more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, and the number far exceeds the original Luoyang and Beiwangfu, and even the Qi Dynasty's estimates.

Previously, Dongwangfu had always been a strategy that could not be adhered to, not because it had no soldiers, horses, grain and grass, or because there were no soldiers and horses, but it was clearly a sign of weakness.

The result of this battle is likely to be a reversal of the battle situation in Jiangdu, and Dongwangfu has struggled from struggling to seem to have won overnight. (To be continued......)
