Qin Mufeng was still holding back his strength and wanted to catch up, but was stopped by Zhu Jie.

"Okay, Mu Feng, don't chase it, let's see how Inspector Sun and them are doing first!"

Zhu Jie shouted.

Gathering the army, Zhu Jie took Xu Yifan, Qin Mufeng and other generals to Sun Chuanting.

"Zhu Jie, Zhu Jie, haha, I knew your kid would arrive in time!"

Sun Chuanting laughed and shook Zhu Jie's hand and thanked him.

Zhu Jie smiled and said, "Master Inspector, have you been suffering these days?" ”

Sun Chuanting's expression was slightly gloomy, and he replied: "A little suffering is nothing, I, Sun Chuanting, have no energy in any battle, if it weren't for the sudden outbreak of the plague, I would definitely be able to defeat Li Zicheng with 100,000 elite soldiers under my command!" It's just a pity that these soldiers, 100,000 soldiers, there are only 30,000 or 40,000 left, and they are either sick or injured......"

"Master Inspector, Jiangnan disciples are talented, and the comeback is unknown, as long as the people are okay, we have a chance! Eh, what about Brother Gao Jie, I'm back, why doesn't this guy come out? ”

Zhu Jie said with a smile.

"Zhu Jie ......"

Sun Chuanting's heart became heavy, "Gao Jie, he has already been martyred......"

"What?"

Zhu Jie's eyebrows stood up when he was on the spot, and he shouted: "Brother Gao Jie was martyred? How can it be? With his ability, he wants to leave wholeheartedly, how many people can keep him? ”

Sun Chuanting shook his head and said bitterly: "Zhu Jie, it's all my fault, I was confused for a while, I had to promise him to let him break off in Taizi Mountain, he was originally recovering from a serious illness, and before he recovered, he forced himself to lead 6,000 elites to block the camp in Taizi Mountain for a day and a night, and finally was injured by Yuan Zongdi and fell into the cliff......"

"Hey!"

Zhu Jie smashed his fist on the bookcase, and the hardwood bookcase broke in response!

"This kid said, his wife and son are all in your care, and you will train his son to become a talent......"

Sun Chuanting continued, "Zhu Jie, our army has arrived, and now that Li Zicheng is at the end of his crossbow, we should immediately attack Kaifeng Mansion, encircle and annihilate Li Zicheng in Kaifeng, and avenge Gao Jie!" ”

Zhu Jie took a deep breath, the light in his eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "No, Master Inspector, first, now is not the time to attack Kaifeng, although the army is defeated, but the army is still very strong, occupying the city of Kaifeng, we are anxious to attack it, and forcibly attacking the city will bring us huge casualties, which is not taken by the wise!" Second, Li Zicheng still has two armies on the left and right on the road, and his strength should not be underestimated, if the three armies gather, we have no chance of winning at all, I need to use Kaifeng Mansion to catch these two big fish! Solved the scourge of Li Zicheng in one fell swoop! Third, the Qin army under your command really needs to rest, without ten days and half a month, it is impossible to recover to the peak! ”

Sun Chuanting nodded slightly and replied, "What you said makes sense, since that's the case, then do as you say." ”

Zhu Jie said in a deep voice: "Master Inspector, this time I came to Henan, it is to take over the war in the entire Henan on your behalf, the emperor's will is for me to arrive in Kaifeng, immediately receive all the Ming troops in Henan, command the affairs of exterminating the thieves, you need to return to Beijing immediately......"

Sun Chuanting frowned slightly and asked, "If you're in such a hurry, it doesn't matter how many days you spend at night, right?" After we take Kaifeng Mansion, let's talk about my return to Jingshi......"

Zhu Jie shook his head and said: "Master Inspector, Henan's affairs, you just have to rest assured, with me, Li Zicheng can't become the climate, but Manchuria in the north, it's different, sooner or later it will become our henchmen, this time I brought out all the elites of Gyeonggi, Gyeonggi defense is empty, if no one presides over the defense, once Manchuria goes south, then we will have big trouble!" “

Sun Chuanting was shocked and reacted, Gyeonggi, Gyeonggi! Now Gyeonggi defense is empty!

"Okay, in that case, then I'll leave today!"

"It's just that, Master Inspector, what I don't understand is why Kaifeng Mansion fell so quickly, it stands to reason, since the Qin army suffered a lot of damage, relying on Kaifeng Mansion, it should be able to support at least ten days and half a month......

Zhu Jie was a little puzzled, originally, Zhu Jie also planned to occupy Kaifeng Mansion first, and then fight with Li Zicheng and others, in that case, the advance can be attacked, the retreat can be defended, and the room for maneuver is much larger, I didn't expect that I had just entered the territory of Henan, and this Kaifeng Mansion had already been lost, with Sun Chuanting's ability, it would never be so easy to lose Kaifeng Mansion......

"Alas......"

Sun Chuanting sighed and replied: "Lord Zhu, you don't know, when I left Kaifeng Mansion, there were already signs of plague in the north and northwest of Henan, but I didn't expect it to spread so fast, in just one month, Kaifeng Mansion has been greatly injured by the plague, I just returned to Kaifeng, the entire Kaifeng City is like hell, there are plague patients everywhere, and there are even a large number of dead bodies left on the street, no one cleans up, if the Qin army enters the city, it won't take a few days, will be all infected, where can you escape Li Zicheng's pursuit? ”

Zhu Jie was puzzled for a while and asked, "How is it possible?" It's just that the plague infection is not so serious, isn't there no doctor in Henan, no herbs, no money and food? What does Ren Jun do as a governor? ”

Sun Chuanting said astringently: "Everyone wants to treat the epidemic, but now that the Henan treasury is empty, there is no money and food, what can I do to help the plague victims?" There's no money to deal with the corpse capital......"

"Impossible!"

Zhu Jiedeng was anxious, and shouted: "Lord Inspector, before I set out on the expedition, the emperor had already issued a decree, allocated 300,000 taels of silver, and a large amount of grain for relief of the victims, and at the same time exempted Henan from all taxes, these money and grain should have arrived in Kaifeng Mansion a long time ago, what?" You didn't receive it? ”

Sun Chuanting was stunned for a while, and replied: "I have been confronting the thieves in Nanyang, but I don't know anything about this purpose, and as for the matter of money and food, I don't know anything about it!" ”

"Where's Ren Jun?"

Zhu Jie shouted, Zhu Jie has already woken up a little, there is no money and food, but I am afraid that all the money and food have been embezzled by Ren Jun and the officials below, right? Damn, these people are so daring!

Sun Chuanting also came to his senses, gritted his teeth and said: "This person is Ren Jun, and this governor will definitely not spare him!" He must have given all his money and food to greedy ink! ”

Zhu Jie's face was gloomy to the extreme, and he said hatefully: "Master Inspector, you don't have to worry about this matter, it's important to return to Beijing, don't worry, I must give Ren Jun a thousand knives to pay tribute to the unjust death of Kaifeng!" ”
