Chapter 778

But it was said that the Wei Hong brothers were carrying their baggage and hurried to the outskirts of Zhenjiang, and the brothers were still muttering there, saying that the prince must have been too worried, and the 100,000 army surrounded a small Zhenjiang City, what else could there be?

Not long after Brother Wei Hong finished speaking, he saw the scouts sent out rushing back like a wind, and reported angrily: "The army has been defeated, and it is no longer an army!" ”

The Wei brothers were shocked, and Wei Hong lost his voice and said, "Just kidding! It's only been a long time before I've been defeated! ”

"How dare you make such a joke!" The scout pointed ahead and couldn't help but tremble, "The defeated army is about to retreat......

When Wei Hu heard this, he put his hand on the pergola and looked into the distance, and sure enough, when he saw the smoke and dust rising, he couldn't help but grit his teeth and said, "What's wrong, hurry up and line up to meet the enemy!" ”

What is slightly different from common sense is that since ancient times, the army that escorted the baggage was not a miscellaneous general, but the most brave and tenacious army in an army, and only in this way can the lifeline of the army be protected to the greatest extent. The Wei brothers, who are veterans of the Han Dynasty's Tiance Guard, formed a partial van formation at the fastest speed, holding guns and bows, and waiting for the battle!

At the same time as the formation was completed, the Han Wangjun also retreated, seeing that those headless flies were about to crash into the formation, the Wei brothers personally stood on the side car, and after shooting a group of officers and soldiers who were dazed, they finally sorted out the chaotic Han Wangjun, asked them to withdraw from both sides of the car formation, and then reorganized the team behind the car formation.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, when the clue is figured out, the rout behind will naturally follow the front, the Wei brothers breathed a sigh of relief, and looked up at the prince army chasing over!

The brothers laughed strangely and beckoned them to just let the horses come!

Xu Huaiqing has also been on the battlefield for a long time, and of course he will not waste his precious cavalry in vain. Knowing that he couldn't get a bargain, he took a sip, laughed a few times, turned the horse's head and left.

The soldiers of the prince's army, following his example, laughed for a while, turned their horses' heads and withdrew.

The laughter floated to the ears of the officers and soldiers of the Han Dynasty, it was so harsh, so embarrassing......

Seeing the enemy army withdraw, instead of being happy, the Wei brothers turned a gloomy face, looked at Song Hu who was like dust, and said, "Master Hou, you did a good thing!" ”

Song Hu wanted to cry without tears, he couldn't figure out how he could lose so quickly and be so aggrieved! He was depressed to the extreme, and with the fatigue of running for his life all the way, his eyes went dark and he fainted......

Xu Cheng and the others were suffering from the disdainful eyes of the soldiers, and they were very envious when they saw Song Hu fainting. The heart said, 'This method is good, but it's a pity that you can't catch the medicine according to the prescription...... Indeed, if you faint like dumplings one by one, it is really a joke......

At that time, Xue Huan's army had already joined forces with the Erhei Society, and he really didn't know how to express his gratitude to these life-saving benefactors, the soldiers of the Governor's Mansion of the Right Army...... had to throw Erhei and them high, and then throw them up, even Dr. Wu and Huai En were no exception.

Dr. Wu and Huaien were thrown by the cheering soldiers, and the two looked at each other helplessly, really crying and laughing......

At this time, Erhei and Hu Sandao had been surrounded by Xue Huan and others and returned to Zhenjiang City, and the prince personally took Mo Wen Cheng Zheng out to greet them, and everyone was overjoyed to see each other, but there was no shadow of Wu Wei in the crowd......

Mo Wen and the others' hearts sank, they could see how heavy the losses of Erhei's thousand cavalry were, and said in their hearts that Wu Wei would not also fold, right? Among them, the most anxious is Xue Huan, and he said that Wu Xiaofat, don't hang up, I still owe you a great favor!

"Lord Wu, he ......" Xue Huan pulled Erhei aside and asked in a low voice, "Where is it?" ”

"It's already in."

Erhei's answer made Xue Huan breathe a sigh of relief, but he was very surprised: "Why hasn't he seen His Royal Highness the Prince?" Could it be an injury? ”

"It's hurt." Erhei pointed to his heart and said, "This hurts ......"

"Ahh Xue Huan was frightened, and hurriedly grabbed Erhei's hand and said, "Where is he, I have to hurry up and see him!" ”

"Don't worry." Erhei pulled out his hand, glared at him and said, "He's fine, it's a heart disease......"

"Oh......" Xue Er was confused, but when he saw the prince coming, he didn't ask.

"Thanks to you this time!" The prince took Erhei's hand enthusiastically and said excitedly: "Otherwise, not only General Cheng's troops will not come, but the morale of the defenders in the city will also collapse." ”

"The prince has won the award," Er Heihan said with a smile: "We are also blind cats who meet dead rats, who knows that the one surnamed Song is really a mouse, and he will hug his head and run away as soon as he is scared!" ”

"Hahaha......" Everyone leaned back and fell back with laughter, and the prince also laughed and said: "In short, this time is a great achievement, and when you win the battle, you will be rewarded for your merits!" ”

"Then thank you first!" Erhei and the others were very happy.

Mo Wen, who was on the side, was not happy, and his face was full of worry. Cheng Zheng bumped him with his arm and whispered, "Be happy, I'll talk about it later." ”

Mo Wen nodded, trying to barely squeeze out a smile, but found that he couldn't do it at all, so he had to give up his efforts......

Carefully instructed everyone to settle Erhei and Xue Huan, and the wounded were treated, and the prince went back to the palace.

Zhenjiang is located at the junction of the Yangtze River and the Grand Canal, and is the important place for the town to defend the river, so it is named Zhenjiang. In this dynasty, it belongs to the central government, and it is a large city in the south of the Yangtze River with a lush population and business travel. Unfortunately, this became the place where the two armies fought, the shops on the streets were closed, the merchants were nowhere to be seen, and only the prince's army was busy preparing all over the city.

They knocked on the doors of all the shops and collected all the materials available in the city, including grain, medicinal herbs, cloth, stones, wood, ironware, and bamboo. Fortunately, Zhenjiang is a commercial city, and there is almost everything you need.

The doctors of the city were all recruited, and all the craftsmen were gathered, and blacksmiths, carpenters, masons, bricklayers, and the like were also organized, and joined the ranks of ordnance and the reinforcement of the city walls. From morning till night, preparations are in full swing throughout the city.

While the people were being driven to busy, it became more and more clear in their hearts that a catastrophe was inevitable......

The heavily guarded Zhenjiang prefect's yamen became the prince's station. The back office is naturally the residence of the crown princess and the emperor's grandsons and granddaughters, and the front office is the command post of this war!

As soon as the prince returned to the palace, he saw Jian Yi waiting there...... Jian Shangshu was old and frail, and he was absent from the Fangshan military parade, but he was lucky to escape? Gao Xu's clutches were taken to Zhenjiang by the people of Beizhen Fusi. Right now, he is the prince's courage.

Seeing the prince coming back, Jian Yi hurriedly greeted him, and was about to speak, but saw the prince waving his hand again and again, and gasped: "Let me rest for a while...... first"

The prince was already weak, and he tossed for a day, but he was tired enough, and sat down with the support of the little eunuch, snorting and panting, and rested for a while before coming back to his senses, and asked softly, "What's the matter?" ”

At this time, Jian Yi had already cleared the scene, and he and the prince were left in the room, so he said softly: "The thousand cavalry led by Wu Wei is actually a ...... escorting repeat offenders."

"What recidivism?" The prince said slowly.

"Jianwen Yu Party." Jian Yi said softly.

"Oh?!" The prince sat up suddenly, widened his eyes and said, "Really?!" ”

"Yes." Jian Yi whispered: "I've already gone to see it, one is Huai'en, the chief eunuch of Jianwenjun, and the other seems to be the imperial physician Wu Tianliang at that time......"

"Ahh The prince sat stunned for a moment, then relaxed and said, "Got it......"

"Your Highness, this is a big matter, we have to be cautious...... Jian Yi said with a strong glare. He couldn't help but stare at this matter - Wu Tianliang was okay, the value of the old eunuch Huai'en was too great, and if he was caught, Emperor Jianwen might have nothing to hide, which was a great achievement! If Wang Xian is allowed to go, a big spy who is even more terrifying than Ji Gang will appear!

This is a civilian-bureaucratic clique, and it must not be allowed!

"Zhongde didn't mention this matter, I think it's better that I still don't know." The prince looked at Jian Yi and said, "Since he has his own arrangements, let's pretend not to know......"

"This ......" Jian Yi couldn't help but whisper: "According to reliable sources, that Wu Tianliang's son holds an important position in Beizhen Fusi!" ”

"So what?" A strange expression appeared on the prince's fat face, like anger and sadness.

Jian Yi said to himself: "So according to the old minister's opinion, let's hurry up and bring these two over, so as not to make the situation difficult to grasp......

"That's it!" The anger on the prince's face finally became clear, and his angry voice trembled a little: "Do you know who saved Xue Huan today?" It's Wu Tianliang's son! If he has a second heart, he can just take Lao Tzu away and fly high! The prince slapped the table angrily, and the teacup on the table was violently shaken, and Jian Yi was also startled.

"Do people desperately kill generals to capture the flag, save friendly troops, and then throw themselves into the net?!" The prince said with a dark face: "They are absolutely credible!" ”

"Your Royal Highness......" Seeing the prince's reaction so much, Jian Yi said in his heart that it was not good, the prince regarded Wang Xian's people as relatives this time. Hey, if only Yang Shiqi was here, he must have an idea. Although Jian Shangshu had no idea, he couldn't be cowardly at this time, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "The country is easy to change, and the people's hearts are unpredictable!" Who knows what he had in mind! ”

"Shut up!" The prince is a person who understands in his heart, and when he saw Jian Yi like this, he knew that he was making a small calculation, and he couldn't help but feel tired: "Since people let you see it, it means that you have a clear conscience." Seeing that Jian Yi's face was full of embarrassment, the prince couldn't bear it after all, and said in a slow tone: "At the moment of life and death, the autumn of survival, we have to work hard to make one place, think in one place, don't have selfish thoughts......"

"Yes!" How could Jian Yi not hear the meaning of the prince's beating? Knowing that it would be useless to say anything, I had to hold back the words and bow down.

The prince was the only one left in the room, and he sat for a long time before he sighed and closed his eyes.
