On the second day, when the team set off, the Yuan delegation headed by Lian Xixian suddenly found that the arrangement of the Song people had changed again, and the more than ten prisoners who were originally sandwiched in the middle of the team were gone, and at the back of the team, there was an additional infantry army of no small size, with more than 1,000 people.

"Them?"

Liu Yugao immediately glanced at Chai Zizhi, the deputy envoy of the Yuan people who came to ask, and sure enough, this small change was noticed by the Yuan people at once, and look at how quickly they reacted, maybe there was something really boring.

"It's close to Jiangzhou, these people are too important, for the sake of safety, the official has other arrangements, you go and tell you Shangshu, if everything goes well, after the delivery is completed, I will take over Jiangzhou, and these people will naturally be returned as they are."

He didn't say what would happen if it didn't go well, but the other party must have heard it, and he didn't distinguish anything, so he turned around and went back to his life, and after that, there was no movement from the Yuanren, as if this little episode had never happened.

"Ordered someone to pass down the order of the envoy, and after setting off, he kept moving forward, and when he saw the river, he walked along the riverbank, so that he could reach Jiangzhou in two days."

This route was also temporarily modified, and now it is still in the Song Dynasty, so it is natural to take him as the main one, until the departure, the Yuan people did not express any objections, Liu Yu watched them walk by on the side, and he was more and more sure that things were a little strange.

"Where's the surname?"

In fact, those captives are in the hands of Zhao Yingding's people, will it be risky to hand them over, Liu Yu also considered that if Zhao Zhen has a problem, it will be the same if he doesn't hand it over, and the thousand people in his hands will be enough to solve himself, it is better to gamble, of course, the biggest reliance is on the side of the river.

Seeing Xie Ruji among the captives, Liu Yu suddenly remembered his youngest son, so he turned his head and asked in a whisper with his own soldiers.

"The news from the day before yesterday has arrived near Jiangzhou, but it has not entered the city, and everything must be instructed by the Chinese book."

"Is there any movement in Jiangzhou City?"

"So far, there have been arrests in the city, and I heard that many rich businessmen have been arrested, which has made people panic, if it weren't for the Tartars watching closely, the people would have fled."

Xie Ruji probably didn't know that his two sons were around here, what would happen after that? Liu Yu smiled coldly, his cold expression made Xie Ruji's heart tremble, and he quickly lowered his head, never daring to look at him again.

Naturally, this matter will not be solved in the Song Dynasty, and Liu Yu has not completely thought about what to do, but as long as Jiangzhou City is in the hands of his own people, with the distance from here to Ezhou, there will be no less place to start, and for the time being, there is no need to worry about it.

The territory of Chizhou seems very desolate, on the one hand, it has not been replied after the war, and the second is that the government has lost its ability to organize and administer, and the people who have fled abroad do not dare to come back, as the actual demarcation point, it seems that the Song and Yuan people have no intention of entering, so it is extremely unusual for a small group of Yuan people scouts to suddenly appear on the river.

"Five men, ten horses, what do the Tartars want?"

In the jungle beside the road, a voice muttered, through the clairvoyant mirror in his hand, the faces of the Tartars were clearly recognizable, and strangely, they seemed to have a specific target, and they galloped past without stopping, not paying any attention to the vicinity.

"That's the direction they came from, Tartar"

"What's the nonsense? As long as the spies report the facts they see, they analyze and make decisions by others, and they forget what Taishou said? ”

A figure next to him stood up from the grass, the Tartar fast horse could no longer see the shadow, there was no need to worry about being discovered, their line was extremely desolate, and there might not be a figure in a day, if it wasn't for the Tartar, there would have been no need to hide in the jungle.

The two of them are just one of the groups online, from here to Jiangzhou, I don't know how many people are staring, although the sergeant who was reprimanded was a little unconvinced, but he didn't dare to reply, he stood up honestly, and used the walkie-talkie to transmit back the discovery of Fang Cai.

In the city of Jiangzhou, which is hundreds of miles away, Yi and Lailu marched tens of thousands of households, and Zhang Hongfan, the deputy marshal of the Han army, was also anxiously waiting for news, this is the original Qian Zhensun's governor's office, since the successive accidents, it was taken over by Zhang Hongfan, and after the results of the peace meeting came back, the Yuan people did not need to send a new governor, and then it became like this.

"Ahh

The Jiangzhou prison is not far behind the governor's mansion, where from time to time there will be a terrible howl, which makes people feel terrified, but Zhang Hongfan, who was standing in the front hall, was unmoved, he knew what his subordinates were doing, and he knew that they couldn't ask anything useful, but he didn't stop it.

According to the peace agreement, this place will soon become the land of the Song people, since this is the case, what does it matter if it is a little excessive, blackmail a few rich businessmen, knock out some money, and have a share from top to bottom, this kind of thing even Ali Hague Pingzhang will not care, let alone care.

In the days when he entered Jiangzhou, it was not completely without gains, at least there were some clues in those two cases, but he did not dig any deeper, because according to the testimony of the witnesses, these clues finally pointed to a surname that he was unwilling to investigate, Xie.

The Xie family and his Zhang family are fellow villagers, or in-laws for several generations, as far as the two families are concerned, they can be called both prosperous and lossy, and as far as he knows, the Xie family and the Yan family do not have any great grievances, Yan Zhongfan's disappearance, is it really the Xie family's doing? He thinks about it, and the biggest complaint in his heart is, you guys can't fucking be clean?

Of course, he did not hand over these testimonies and witnesses, this is not only for personal gain, he understands very well that even if he goes to Ali Hague, Pingzhang's troubles will not be less than his own, because the Xie family is too popular at present, but as long as they do not rebel, the Great Khan will never touch them, even if they really kidnap Yan Zhongfan and kill Qian Zhensun.

What kind of is this, Zhang Hongfan's expression was a little helpless, since these evidences are not used, in order to appease his subordinates, he can only acquiesce to what they do, but this is not the only thing he is worried about.

"Everybody's been sent out?"

There was a sound of footsteps behind him, and he didn't need to look back, he also knew that it was the errand who had returned.

"Back to 10,000 households, it was scattered early in the morning, a group of five, all the intersections have not been let go, and at the latest in the evening, there will definitely be news back."

"People are reliable, aren't they?"

Zhang Hongfan added another sentence with some unease.

"It's all our old brothers, and the old lady will be at home, and if you know the roots, you can rest assured."

"Well, well done, I have to work hard for you to go to the camp and get the brothers ready, and as soon as the news comes back, they will be able to use it immediately."

The cronies who were doing the work retreated respectfully, but Zhang Hongfan's expression did not relax in the slightest, this is a somewhat risky plan, so far, it has not been approved by the above, and in his heart, whether it is allowed or not, he will launch it, since the above did not stop it, it is probably acquiescence.

Anqing Mansion across the river, Huaining County, where the government is located, is about more than 100 miles away from the river, along the river to set up the deputy envoy, Huaixi Commander-in-Chief, Zhi'anqing Mansion Zhang Shijie is stationed in the city, his deputy envoy and the Consulate General together, located in the center of the city on the main street, plus the back of the house, covers a very wide area.

"Is it a letter from my sister-in-law?"

Wu Niang usually never asks about his official affairs, but this letter sent to his in-laws is not all official business, Zhang Shijie nodded after listening to it, and handed her the letter after reading.

The letter is not long, it seems to be an ordinary greeting, but at the end he is invited to cross the river, and the location is in Chizhou, Wu Niang naturally can't see anything, but Zhang Shijie knows that this is a very unusual signal, and things are by no means as simple as the letter says.

He already knew that the imperial court was going to receive the news of Jiangzhou, and the itinerary of the mission was not difficult to estimate, and now he had already arrived on the other side of his river. I'm afraid that Wu Niang won't believe it.

"It's a pity that he and his wife have only been married, this time, I don't know if there will be a day when I come back alive, thirteenth sister, it's really hard."

Wu Niang's sigh made Zhang Shijie feel related, and he didn't understand why he would let Liu Yu be this Laoshizi messenger, Yuan Ren was obviously uneasy and kind, but under the edict, what could he say.

The two have never met since Jiankang parted, and this moment may be the last chance, so even if Liu Yu doesn't come to this letter, he also plans to cross the river for a while, after all, they are not far apart, and it is very convenient to go back and forth.

What makes him uncertain is that this meeting place is not in Jiangzhou, but in Chizhou, which is directly opposite, what kind of situation is there, how can Zhang Shijie not know that there are many refugees who have escaped from the river under his rule, why did Liu Yu choose such a place?

Because the whole thing is unusual, Zhang Shijie is a little more attentive, Chizhou is a place that doesn't care about anything, after Chizhou, he will arrive in Jiangzhou under the rule of Tatars, thinking of the purpose of their group, he feels that he seems to have caught something.

"Someone!"

sent Wu Niang away, and he immediately called his own soldiers, and also brought the local map.

"Last time, you inquired, how many soldiers and horses do the Tartars have in Jiangzhou?"

"Back to the deputy marshal, there were originally only more than 2,000 new attached troops, but later the surnamed Qian was killed, and more than 3,000 Han troops came from Ezhou, and now there are almost 5,000 people."

"Oh? Who brought it. ”

Zhang Shijie looked at the location of Jiangzhou and asked casually, 5,000 people are nothing, if you can handle it, you don't have to draw it from elsewhere.

"Look at the banner is the deputy marshal's own family."

Hearing this, he raised his head suddenly, there are a lot of people with the surname Zhang on the Tartar side, but the one who is most likely to appear in Jiangzhou will only be his cheap brother, and things are starting to get a little interesting.
