Knowing that Liu Yefei and his soldiers and horses were close to the swordfish village, Chen Enze stood at the head of the city and looked at the south of the city, where there were already sparkling fires, which were torches lit during the march. It's just that it is covered by undulating mountains and dense forests, intermittently, separated by three or five miles, and the scale of the soldiers and horses led by Liu Yefei cannot be seen.

Although the ship borrowed the wind to sail on the sea, the speed was faster than that of the night road, but the Haidong warship hid behind the Miaoshan Islands, and only after knowing that the willow leaves flew out of the city, did it sail into the Miaoshan Islands and came to the Daoyu Village in a part. It takes a lot of time for the warship to unfold, but it is not as good as Liu Yefei to come to the swordfish village first.

The cavalry division sent by Chen Zhihu will arrive in a day at the latest, which means that they can only control the situation around Dengzhou in one day, and be ready to attack the division sent by Chen Zhihu head-on - the time is so urgent, they can't let Liu Yefei lead his troops and horses into the swordfish village to muddy the water.

Chen Enze weighed it repeatedly in his heart.

Hu Yu'er had the heart to ask the "Jiangning Special Envoy" to deign to go to the South City Gate to greet Liu Yefei, but when she saw him silent, she felt a little strange in her heart, and said secretly: Why is this envoy a little irrational and ignorant of people? Could it be that when the envoy was in Jiangning, he had a grudge against Lord Liu?

Chen Enze groaned for a while, and said to Hu Yu'er: "Lord Liu is in a hurry to come to strengthen the defense of Daoyu Village, but he is loyal to the imperial court - but the rebel general Chen Zhihu led the army under pressure, does General Hu believe in Lord Liu's discipline?" ”

"What does Lord Zhao mean by that?" Hu Yu'er frowned, thinking that sure enough, she shouted bad luck in her heart: At the moment of the great enemy, the envoy of Jiangning has old grievances with the chief officer of Dengzhou, and it will be difficult for these generals below them to be people.

But at the same time, Hu Yu'er was also angry in her heart, the enemy is current, and she doesn't want to work together to resist the enemy, but this envoy first suspected the discipline of the chief officer of Dengzhou for no reason?

Although Hu Yu'er also looks at Liu Yefei unpleasantly on weekdays, as the general of Dengzhou Town, at this time he subconsciously became angry with Liu Yefei - at least in the government and the opposition, Liu Yefei represents the counties of Dengzhou Prefecture and the Shuibu Army of Dengzhou Town, so everyone will subconsciously reject outsiders.

"Please General Hu retreat left and right ......" Chen Enze looked at Hu Yu'er's soldiers on the left and right, Liu Yefei arrived first, and if he wanted to prevent Liu Yefei from leading his troops into Daoyu Village, he could only press the chips on Hu Yu'er, and said in a suppressed voice.

Hu Yu'er's face was full of doubts, and she said secretly: Could it be that the secret decree in the mouth of the special envoy is specifically aimed at Liu Yefei? Although he was suspicious, he still signaled Hu Cong to stay away and not to hinder them from speaking.

"The left and right are people who are trusted by lowly functions, and the envoy has any confidential matters, don't worry." Hu Yu'er said.

"Mr. Gao said that General Hu can love the people and keep festivals, and can trust him," Chen Enze said, "Can I trust General Hu?" ”

"Mr. Gao, which Mr. Gao?" Hu Yu'er was puzzled for a while, and couldn't remember which surname Gao in Jiangning was known to her.

"Mr. Gao Zongting, General Hu doesn't know either?" Chen Enze asked.

"......" Hu Yu'er was taken aback, he and Gao Zongting naturally recognized, but Gao Zongting was now Huaidong's adviser, subconsciously pressed the saber on his waist, glared at Chen Enze, and shouted in a deep voice, "Special Envoy, what secret matter do you have to say, how do you mention Mr. Gao?" ”

Although Hu Yu'er can't read a few big characters, he is as careful as a hair - Chen Enze crossed the sea with a letter from the Ministry of War, saying that there was a secret decree to declare to Liu Yefei and the generals of the Dengzhou Navy, and he would not be suspicious at first.

"Huaidong has obtained the confirmatory news that Liu Yefei secretly colluded with Chen Zhihu and wanted to sell Dengzhou to Yanhu for his own glory!" Chen Enze calmly endured Hu Yu'er's fierce eyes, and said, "After Huaidong learned the news, he went to Jiangning to ask for an order to deal with this matter, and he was too late in time, so he could only act expediently......"

"Who the hell are you?" Hu Yu'er pulled out a knife and asked, "What evidence is there that Liu Yefei colluded with Hu Lu?" ”

When the people on the left and right heard the quarrel here, they saw Hu Yu'er draw a knife, and no matter what happened, they rushed over and surrounded Chen Enze first.

Chen Enze pointed to the east and said, "General Hu, what is the difference between the vast sea under this night and usual?" ”

Hu Yu'er turned her head to look, the moon was like a hook, the stars were reflected in the dark satin-like water, sparkling, and the shadow of the island and mountain was in the distance, but if you looked closely, you could still vaguely see something different: it was a boat, and a large number of ships were heading towards the knife fish village!

Hu Yu'er's face was cloudy, she stared at Chen Enze with a gloomy face, and asked, "Who are you, what does Huaidong want to do?" ”

Chen Enze also wiped sweat in his heart, if Hu Yu'er had already bought Ye Liufei, he would not be able to survive this trip, facing Hu Yu'er's cruel eyes, he said: "Chen Zhihu sent troops to attack Changyi, and sent cavalry to Dengzhou - the twists and turns, General Hu still can't understand the twists and turns?" ”

Hu Yu'er kept her face calm and silent.

"Chen Zhihu's defeat under Qingzhou City is a trick, and it is intended to divert the tiger from the mountain - if there is no Liu Yefei to do internal response, Chen Zhihu only sent two thousand partial divisions to attack, can he take Dengzhou City and Daoyu Village?" Chen Enze asked rhetorically.

"Since Huaidong already knew the news, why didn't General Zhao Zhen inform us before he led his troops out of Dengzhou?" Hu Yu'er asked.

"Chen Zhihu hid troops in Linzi City, Huaidong also had suspicions about the news he had, and only after knowing that he sent troops to Changyi, did he conclude that Liu Yefei was secretly colluding with Yan Hu," Chen Enze calmed down and said calmly, "Take 10,000 steps back and say, Chen Zhihu's dagger has not appeared, General Hu, will you believe Huaidong's words?" ”

"After all, Huaidong has no evidence of Liu Yefei's collusion with Hu Lu?" Hu Yu'er's voice was a little colder.

"Yes or no, hasn't General Hu made a judgment at this time, and does he still need Huaidong to come up with evidence?" Chen Enze said.

"Who the hell are you?" Of course, Hu Yu'er will not forget this problem.

"The commander of the Huaidong Military Intelligence Department has seen General Hu," Chen Enze clenched his fists and apologized, and stretched out his hand into his arms. Someone on the left and right saw him move, afraid that he would hide a knife in his arms, pulled out the knife holder on his neck, and forbade him to move - Chen Enze smiled and said, "Mr. Gao has a letter to General Hu, and I can't take out the knife by the neck!" ”

Hu Yu'er signaled to step back left and right, he didn't have the intention of lowering Yan Hu, so naturally he wouldn't easily offend the people of Huaidong.

Chen Enze took out the letter written by Gao Zongting in advance from his arms and handed it to Hu Yu'er - Hu Yu'er handed the letter to a junior colonel next to him: "Zhao Huaishan, do you see if it was written by Mr. Gao......

The man took the letter, opened it, read it, and said, "It's Mr. Gao's letter." The letter also talked about the fact that everyone drank mutton soup in the old man's shop in Tangziwan in the winter of the eleventh year of Chongguan, and others should pretend not to ......"

At this moment, the Huaidong warship in the east also appeared more clearly in everyone's field of vision.

Everyone knew that those were Huaidong's warships, and they were not so panicked.

Gao Zongting's letter is mainly to confirm Chen Enze's identity, Hu Yu'er confirmed that Chen Enze is really Huaidong's person, and also put the knife back in the sheath, and said: "Huaidong can't come up with any evidence, Chen Senjun pretended to be a special envoy of the imperial court to deceive us, so how can I believe your words?" ”

"I was really forced to hide it before," Chen Enze saw Hu Yu'er's expression softened, and his heart was a little calm, and said, "The soldiers and horses who stayed in Dengzhou City are all Liu Yefei's henchmen and cronies, if you don't have to plan to get him out of the city, in case you startle the snake, this matter will be difficult to do." Even after confirming that Liu Ye flew out of the city, Mr. Gao and the others dared to lead reinforcements to approach Daoyu Village, and asked General Hu for forgiveness for everything. ”

At this time, a soldier ran up to the city and said, "Lord Liu has already ridden outside the city, and asked why you haven't opened the city gate to greet you?" ”

Hu Yu'er's face was cloudy and uncertain - as Chen Enze said, if Chen Zhihu hadn't suddenly sent troops to attack Changyi and sent a partial division to attack Dengzhou, he would never easily believe that Liu Yefei secretly colluded with Yan Hu. There is no evidence at all, and it is too chasing after the wind - but when things have developed to this point, Chen Enze directly pointed out the problems inside, and Hu Yuer also insisted that Liu Yefei had no problem, it was too simple.

The key question is that although Hu Yu'er is suspicious of Liu Yefei, she can't be 100% sure after all, what if there is someone else who colludes with Yan Hu, if the guess is wrong?

In case of a mistake, Huaidong will not be heavy on the board, maybe as long as a small letter of guilt, this matter can be gently revealed.

At this time, the imperial court relied on Huaidong, and most of them would not investigate the responsibility of Huaidong sending people to pretend to be envoys and slander ministers, but Hu Yu'er was only a small Zhaowu lieutenant, and if he was planted in it, it was certain that he would be difficult to protect, and he was afraid that even his wife and children and family would be difficult to preserve.

The left and right servants all heard the conversation between Hu Yu'er and Chen Enze, and they all looked at Hu Yu'er nervously, waiting for him to give the order - Liu Yefei led the soldiers and horses over, in case Liu Yefei really colluded with Yan Hu and let them in, the knife fish village would become a bloody battlefield in the blink of an eye.

If they make a mistake, Liu Yefei, who is the chief official of Dengzhou, will be the first to spare them.

Chen Enze could see Hu Yu'er's hesitation, and thought that as long as he didn't surrender to the enemy, he said, "Mr. Gao is on the boat that came to the Sword Fish Village." To verify whether Liu Yefei has surrendered to the enemy, it is also simple, just send someone to tell Liu Yefei that Huaidong has sent reinforcements over, and he will enter the Daoyu Village, and see how Liu Yefei reacts? The only pity is that the willow leaf flying can't be captured alive in the city! ”

Chen Enze said this, and Hu Yu'er also had a hard time making a decision.

Dengzhou and Huaidong are not subordinate to each other, Huaidong sent reinforcements over, and Hu Yu'er should also ask Liu Yefei for instructions before Huaidong reinforcements can enter Daoyu Village, and it is not his turn to make a claim...... But even if this thing is done wrong, at most, this military attaché's armor will be stripped off, and it will not offend the family.

Hu Yu'er thought for a while, gritted her teeth and made up her mind, and said: "Zhao Huaishan, you go and open the water gate to welcome the Huaidong reinforcements into the city, and I will go to the south gate to meet Lord Liu!" ”
