The bright moon was shining, the river was surging, the water was turbulent, Lu Gao couldn't sleep, got up in his clothes, got out of the small room, went to the side of the boat, looked at the two banks, and followed by two personal soldiers, who were still guarding at this time.

At this time, the sky was not yet dawn, but it had already gone up from the mouth of the Yangtze River, and Lu Gao was Chinese New Year's Eve at this time, and his figure was a little thin at this time, wearing a brocade robe, and coughing from time to time.

The ships could hold five hundred soldiers, but now, even the cracks in the cabins were filled with men, and the ships were full of masts and sails, and they quickly headed for Jinling.

10,000 people, 20 boats, were stuffed to the brim, and the ships were sunk deeply.

After walking a few steps, I heard the voice of talking, saying that ordinary soldiers are not allowed to go on the deck, and if they can go on the deck, they all have official status, at least for now.

...... It's like this to ride a boat and break the waves, and at a glance, you can see the water and look around...... How long will it take to get to Jinling? The feeling of not being able to keep your feet on the ground is really unsettling."

"There are also many brothers in the cabin, who are all in a panic, and all the wounds are still worsening, and they urgently need to go ashore for treatment."

"What's the use of being anxious? Youzhou is far away from Jinling, if you take the land route, I'm afraid that it has not left the range of Youzhou now, and the boat travel is very fast, I have asked, now it has entered the Yangtze River, and there is still half a day, the fleet can arrive in Jinling, you have to be patient for a while!"

"Half a day? It turns out that it is so close to Jinling, which means that it will be docked in Jinling at noon today?"

"Yes, you can see from the coast that this is already the Southern Dynasty, like a dream, so far away from Youzhou...... Alas, in our lifetimes, will you and I be able to return to Youzhou to worship our ancestors?

"That being said, I think that one day, we will be able to go back, and even if we can't, our children and grandchildren will always be able to go back......"

Lugo heard some people whispering.

Listening to the emotion of his subordinates, Lu Gao's heart was extremely emotional.

But so what?

Lu Gao laughed self-deprecatingly, Wen can't be Anbang, and Wu can't resist the enemy, now he can only take the remnants with his remnants, stay away from Youzhou, and go to others, so embarrassed!

When I looked at it from afar, Youzhou was close in front of me, and I couldn't see it anymore.

Youzhou, he finally left.

Looking at the crowd farther away and talking in a low voice, Lu Gao's heart was sour, and he couldn't suppress it.

On this ship, whether it is a captain or a soldier, they are all nostalgic for their homeland, not to mention their own Youzhou Festival envoy, the descendants of the Lu family?

"Husband!" At this time, the Youzhou people standing in a corner found Lu Gao's figure, this mortal couldn't help but turn white, they had just said a lot of words, seeing Lu Gao standing, his face was uncertain, and he immediately came over to salute.

Lu Gao looked at the mortal in front of him, and he was very familiar.

This mortal, he has some impressions, although this mortal official position is not high, he is a captain under the account.

During the war with the Hu people in Youzhou for most of the year, the faces of many old people disappeared one by one, and it was these young captains who filled them.

By the standards of peacetime, these lieutenants were too young, with an average age of only twenty-five years old, some of them were even only seventeen or eighteen years old, and some of them were over thirty years old, and they became seniors.

To be promoted to captain on the battlefield must be brave, but at this time, it seems that these people's burly bodies and cold faces really poke down, but there is still a trace of childishness.

In the past, I had never seen such a dazed god on their faces, but now that I did, Lu Gao didn't want to reprimand.

Even I feel that it is unbearable to be uprooted from my homeland, let alone these young people?

"Are you thinking about Youzhou?" After seeing this mortal salute, he lowered his head and didn't dare to speak, Lu Gao's eyes swept over, and he asked in a deep voice.

There was a loud sound, and the mortals who were standing in front of them all fell to their knees.

One of them, the 30-year-old lieutenant, kowtowed and said: "Commander, we are just talking casually, not intentionally disturbing the morale of the army, and ask the marshal to forgive ...... sin."

Strictly speaking, although these words just now are human nature, if they are really investigated, they will shake the morale of the army, and they can be executed.

Did he say that he blamed them?

Lu Gao frowned, and said calmly: "Get up, Ben Shuai didn't blame you, far away from your homeland, everyone will feel a little homesick, this is a common ...... people"

Seeing that they were still afraid to raise their heads, Lu Gao couldn't help but feel angry, and Lu Gao raised his voice and said: "Look at what you have become now! The Hu people have only occupied Youzhou for a while, and you will definitely be able to return to your homeland in the future, what are you still doing in a daze?

"No!" was swept away by the husband's cold eyes, and everyone stood up with neat movements, but still didn't dare to look up, and stood respectfully.

Lu Gao's heart was mixed, and he didn't want to talk anymore, so he turned to leave.

Looking at the back of the husband and the handsome turned around, the mortal vomited the meaning of the words just now, and couldn't help but feel a little strange, listening to the meaning of the big handsome............ Only they can go back?

However, they didn't dare to ask the marshal for an explanation, but they were sleepy.

Only Lu Gao knew in his heart that even if he was reused in the Dacheng Imperial Court, it would be difficult for him to return to the old days, and it was even less likely that he would return to Youzhou as an official and commander.

On the contrary, these school captains may still have the hope of returning to their hometowns to glorify their ancestors.

"And ......" Lu Gao, who was about to walk towards the cabin, stopped and spoke again without looking back.

The captain was slightly stunned, and immediately stood up straight, waiting for Tianshuai's next command.

...... It doesn't matter what you look like now, when you arrive in Jinling, it's still like this, and it's the entire Youzhou people who are lost, and you have to cheer me up then, do you hear?"

"Mark it and get it!" the mortals knelt down again, and said in unison.

Lu Gao continued to walk inside, as if he had not heard their response.

Back in his own cabin, it wasn't long before there was a knock on the door outside.

Lu Gao put down the scroll he picked up and asked casually, "Who?"

"Dashuai, Xiaguan June" The voice outside sounded very familiar.

Lu Gao said lightly: "The door is not closed, come in by yourself." ”

The door was gently pushed open, and a middle-aged civil official walked in from the outside.

Zhu Ne is a senior civilian official of the military affairs staff under Lu Gao's account, and he is on the same boat as Lu Gao at this time, and after coming in, he closes the wooden door with his backhand, walks in front of Lu Gao, and salutes first: "Tianshuai"

"Others don't know, you still don't know the situation? What kind of handsome am I? Sit down, what kind of hypocrisy do you pay attention to at this time?" Lu Gao pointed to his position and said lightly.

Zhu Ne smiled bitterly and sat down: "Why is the husband so pre-wasted?"

has been with Lu Gao's ministers for many years, how can he not see Lu Gao's thoughts at this time.

Facing Zhu Ne's old subordinates, Lu Gao didn't have too many taboos, but now, he felt that he was a little tired, since the fall of Youzhou, although he did not live and die with Youzhou, but he was ten years old.

"Alas, Youzhou, Youzhou...... The Lu family has been operating in Youzhou for three generations, and in my generation, everything was ruined, and I, the descendants of the Lu family, not only failed to carry forward the foundation left by my ancestors, but also failed to keep the ancestral house in Youzhou......"

"Husband, what are you talking about! The loss of Youzhou is not because the handsome man is incompetent, but because the Hu people are rampant, not only in Youzhou, but also in the mortal land next to the grassland, which place is the exception?" Seeing that Lu Gao was more and more frustrated the more he spoke, Zhu Ne hurriedly interrupted.

Lu Gao sighed and said: "You don't have to say it anymore, since I left Youzhou by boat, I just chose the way to live, I just sighed for a while."

Relieved, Zhu Ne said: "Dashuai can think like this, I am relieved, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the old department that survived in Youzhou, with you, this Youzhou army is still there, if you are gone, who will look at us again? This Youzhou just can't go back at all", hearing this, Lu Gao fell silent.

Seeing this, Zhu Ne smiled bitterly in his heart, he actually understood very well that when he was about to arrive in Jinling, Lu Gao suffered from the psychology of gains and losses.

The transformation from a vassal to a courtier has a huge transformation, both psychologically and substantively.

After a while, Lu Gao nodded: "What you said is true, the old department of Youzhou has not yet been settled, and it is not yet known what will happen to Jinling, but I will definitely write to the emperor, even if the official does not want it, I must arrange the old department to follow!"

"Dashuai, the emperor has always reused wise men, and he is still lenient to the generals, and the marshal is leading the army to defect, so why worry?" Zhu Ne said, sighing secretly in his heart.

Lugao was silent.

For the generals who come with the army, there are roughly three methods.

The first is to disband and reorganize and purge the officers, which even Lu Gao has done many times, and the smell of blood is still permeating.

The second is that the most common thing is to transfer the original officers and generals out of the old department, and they will naturally be digested in ordinary years.

As for the high-ranking officials who are generous and raised, or they are brave and resourceful, they will be reused, this is already a Ming monarch and grace, and it can be recorded in the history.

It is said that the emperor of the Song Dynasty "released military power with a glass of wine" is a symbol of generosity.

Of course, Lu Gao didn't know about the Song Dynasty, but he knew the essence in his heart, and he was about to arrive in Jinling, so he felt deeply uneasy day and night, so he could only take one step at a time.

Thinking like this, Lu Gao finally sighed secretly in his heart. Gas.

Half a day later, the flotilla arrived at Heling.

Boarding the port and watching the port flourish, Lu Gao felt as if he was in a different world.

"Marshal, Jinling has arrived," Zhu Ne whispered as he walked up to the bow of the boat.

Looking at this port, Lu Gao's heart was sour, his eyes swept to the ships, and found that each ship had begun to line up, and the soldiers who had been pressed in the cabin for ten days were a little embarrassed to go to the deck.

"Lined up, according to the battalion ashore, hot water and clothes have been prepared in the big bathhouse, line up one by one, and the medical officer will check" At this time, someone was already shouting.

As soon as I was told about it, I realized that there are square buildings in the dock area, and a large amount of steam is diffused from time to time, this is the big bathhouse?

"Dashuai, I have already inquired about this matter, but it is not for us, every batch of displaced people must be cleaned and checked, it is said that they are afraid of spreading the plague, and there are special medical officers" Zhu Ne stepped forward and explained. @。
