Yanzhou, Jiyang County

By mid-July, the weather was hot, scorching hot.

In the north street of the city, the rows of shops have basically resumed opening, and the owner of the Liujia Hotel is busy with a few guys.

"Hey, the roast chicken in the store is gone, go buy two, there are customers in the store who will use it." Boss Liu said with a fan.

When the guy Xiao Shen heard this, he couldn't help drooling, and said: "Xiangde roast chicken is authentic, one of the best authentic, but it's a pity that it costs six dollars of silver, and I heard that in the Governor's Mansion, he also shouts two every day!"

Boss Liu smiled and scolded: "Don't go yet, I want to eat Xiangde roast chicken, when you get married, Lao Tzu will give you one, this world is too peaceful, you can always eat...... Go, the guests in the main room are waiting!"

Liu's hotel is divided into the main courtyard and the partial courtyard, the main courtyard is five dollars of silver a day, the side courtyard is two dollars of silver a day, and the single room is one dollar of silver a day.

A penny of silver is the price of the earth according to Wang Hongyi, which shows the price of this roast chicken.

When the guy Xiao Shen heard this, he jumped up, got up and ran to buy goods.

At this time, the boundaries of Jiyang County were very calm.

Two days ago, there was just a riot here, and it seemed difficult to trace on the surface, but if you touch the melon, you will find that there is a shadow of the Hu people.

Some people don't want to see Yanzhou recover too quickly under the Dacheng regime, so they stir up people's minds and create panic in several counties.

But he was discovered by Fanzi early and reported it.

As a result, these riots, suppressed by Lu Gao's secret suppression, did not have much impact on the people, and for ordinary people, it has been peaceful for a month.

The wide streets are gradually becoming more and more crowded, and after the initial panic, the bustling scene is slowly recovering.

Yanzhou restored the yamen at all levels, and after the rectification of the post stations in various places, they were used again for the transmission of letters, but military intelligence still relied on more covert means to deliver carrier pigeons.

A carrier pigeon, unnoticed by too many people, flew lightly into the county town.

Almost at the same time, in front of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion in the county town, several carriages moved again.

Standing on the high steps, the middle-aged man who sent the guests out was the butler of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, looking a little rich and slightly fat, wearing a robe, quite a bit of a squire, and a smiling expression, his eyes narrowed into a slit, which made people close at first sight.

"Butler, who are they? I see that these people are well dressed, but they are very angry. A principal who usually had some friendship with the butler stood and looked in the direction where several carriages were leaving, and asked.

"It's not going to be ordinary people...... The housekeeper Lu An just said it casually, and immediately stopped saying what he couldn't say, which was naturally understood by several generations of housekeepers.

There is a way that the wall has ears, and people who talk too much will never live long.

"How can we talk about these nobles?" Lu An said this, looking at the master: "I said that brother, we are the next people, there are some things, you don't need to know too much, wherever there is a place where we are used, the lord will instruct, if you talk about the guests in private, the lord will know......"

The director hurriedly said: "This matter is my Meng Lang." ”

"That's it for now, next time. Patting the other person on the shoulder, Lu An said.

When I entered the door, I looked up and saw a black spot flashing in the air, but when I looked again, there was nothing.

"The chief steward?" Seeing Lu An stop and look at the sky, the master who followed was a little surprised.

Lu An retracted his gaze: "It's nothing, it's just a little dazzled." ”

"Presumably the chief steward is too tired, go back and rest for a while, I will do something. ”

"It's not like that, but thank you brother for your concern. ”

As they spoke, they followed the straight path, passed through several arches, and stopped in front of a courtyard.

The Yanzhou Governor's Mansion was located in Jiyang, and due to the restoration of the Yamen, the original county guard mansion was handed over to the Taishou, and a family mansion was found to become the governor's mansion.

This mansion is very satisfying to Lu Gao, the layout of the courtyard is elegant, simple, faintly has the style of a celebrity, at this time, as soon as you enter, there is a faint fragrance of flowers.

Near the courtyard, dozens of personal soldiers guarded, each holding a knife.

Because he did not bring his family with the army, there was no back house in this governor's mansion, and the courtyard where Lu Gao lived was not only a resting place, but also a study and a meeting hall.

The adjacent courtyard is used to receive visitors.

Others are either idle, or let the pro-soldier staff live, inside and outside, there are also hundreds of people.

The housekeeper Lu An stood up and said to the principal: "You wait outside, and when I come out, I will check the account book with you for this month." ”

Seeing that the master should respond, Lu An entered the courtyard, because he often came to report to the governor, the soldiers did not stop him, entered the courtyard, and had no intention of enjoying the beautiful scenery in the courtyard, after asking a soldier, he went straight to the door of the study.

"Sir, I'm Luan. ”

"Come in. Lu Gao's voice came from inside, and the butler heard the sound and pushed the door open from the outside and walked in. It was an elegantly clothed study, with mulberry walls and glass windows, and a bookshelf with stacked books.

Most of them became governors of Yanzhou in Lugao, and some were sent.

It's not that it's a little troublesome to collect the money, and it's also a matter of grace to send the books.

And Lu Gao himself really likes to read, especially after returning to Dacheng, he likes to read books and play chess for recreation in his leisure time on weekdays.

The window is now open, and across from it is the bookcase, with pen and paper on it.

Lu Gao sat behind the desk, holding a book in his hand, and was distracted, at this time the ruthlessness in Youzhou was completely gone, with a fair face, thick eyebrows and a murderous aura, just sitting, also showing a kind of majesty, seeing the housekeeper come in, just took his eyes off the book, and said lightly: "The guests are gone?"

"If you go back to the master, you will be sent away. The butler stood with his head bowed and spoke.

Putting aside the special scroll in his hand, Lu Gao rubbed his eyebrows and sighed: "In the past, these people came to see me, and they saw me, but now they are ......."

The latter words were not said, and the housekeeper Lu An also understood.

The situation in Yanzhou seems to be calm, but the undercurrent is surging, I am afraid that some people will never forget Yanzhou, and there are people who are making waves in Yanzhou...... It's okay to be cold for the time being.

But this is not something that Lu An can think about, and immediately removed this thought, and saw that his master stopped talking and stopped, and the housekeeper waited for a while, and then called: "Master, it's almost noon, is it a meal, I have a Xiangde roast chicken." ”

Lu Gao was awakened by his distraction, so he raised his head and said, "I'll enter later", and if someone comes in the next few days, they will say that I am unwell and cannot see the visitors......

"The little one understands. ”

"If it's okay, I'll go and get you busy. ”

"No!"

The butler Lu Anying retreated, and as he walked out of this row of corridors, he suddenly heard the sound of pigeons behind him.

When I looked back, I saw a carrier pigeon hovering in mid-air for a while, landed, and landed in a room near the master's study.

Luan paused for a moment, then walked away.

After Lu Ann left, one of the soldiers in the room took out a small paper roll and brought it in.

Lu Gao unfolded it slightly, and after scanning it, he was stunned.

"Your Majesty is trapped?" The code words on it, the first line of content, Lu Gao easily understood, just seeing this, he felt a basin of cold water poured down on his head, and his face immediately turned pale.

Lu Gao couldn't believe it, and read the content several times again, and made sure that Emperor Dacheng was indeed trapped in the military camp on the outskirts of Luoyang.

Also besieged, there is also an army of 70,000 led by His Majesty.

Lu Gao sat in his place, his heart was in chaos, he couldn't say what he tasted, everything in front of him suddenly became unfamiliar, he was stunned for a long time, and then he suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly took out a letterhead, which was also just received today, and the news was delivered, it was the thirteenth division.

What is written above is the investigation of the White Horse Port by the Thirteenth Division, and it was found that Huying was empty.

These two pieces of information actually say one thing, that is, the Hu people crossed the sea without concealment, attracted the attention of the sailors with a partial division, and crossed the river by detour, forced Luoyang to surrender in one fell swoop, and carried out a night attack on the emperor's army.

Of course, Emperor Hongfu attacked at night to no avail, but he was also trapped near Luoyang.

After thinking about it, Lu Gao was even more stunned, and this information touched some hidden parts of his heart.

"What should I do, is the right choice?" After a long pause, Lu Gao groaned and walked to the window, pushed it open, and looked out.

The sun poured down on him, and the wind in the garden carried the scent of flowers.

At this time, a trace of dragon energy, looming, Lu Gao saw that the sun outside the window illuminated the garden, and then looked into the distance, the garden mountains and waterscapes, small bridges and flowing water, vines and ancient Xue......

After a long time, I couldn't help but sigh and said, "It's a pity!"

Lu Gao was the governor of Yanzhou for only a month, and in Chenliu County, Yanzhou, there was also a serious political envoy Yu Liangbo.

Yu Liangbo is the son of the prime minister of the cabinet, the earliest from Long, known for his reputation, and most importantly, Chen Liujun has at least 10,000 or so troops under the command of Yu Liangbo.

And the 50,000 troops in Yanzhou, there are only 10,000 people in their old department, and the others have their own generals, and they usually obey orders.

And all the counties in Yanzhou have just been pacified, but they can't give orders.

Besides, His Majesty's leadership is all elite soldiers, although they are trapped for a while, they will not always be at a disadvantage, and the Tiger Prison Pass is heavily guarded, and Fan Liuhai led 30,000 troops to almost arrive......

As soon as he thought of Fan Liuhai's 30,000 army, Lu Gao suddenly came to his senses, smiled bitterly, removed some thoughts, and rethought the problem.

In any case, since His Majesty personally led the army to be trapped in Luoyang, he had to make some reactions when he received the news, and it was necessary to support King Qin, as for whose troops to be transferred and how to arrange them, he still needed to think carefully
