Jiujiang Mansion, the Yuan Dynasty set up Jiangzhou Road, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty Chen Youliang called the emperor, the country name Han, built the capital Jiangzhou, Zhu Yuanzhang defeated Chen Youliang after changing Jiangzhou Road to Jiujiang Mansion, Jiujiang Mansion is located at the mouth of the three rivers, has always been a military town guarding the Yangtze River channel.

On this day, all the officials of Jiujiang Mansion gathered, Fang Kongzhao, the governor of Huguang, Zheng Eryang, the new governor of Anqing, and others gathered at the north gate to welcome the prince and his party who were about to arrive.

Zheng Eryang, the governor of Anqing, asked the prefect of Jiujiang and said, "Where is Zuo Liangyu?" Why don't you see him coming? ”

The prefect of Jiujiang hurriedly said: "Back to my lord, Zuo Shuai went to Hukou yesterday to inspect, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back." ”

Zheng Eryang snorted coldly: "I waited three days ago to learn that the crown prince went south to Jiujiang Mansion, and he Zuo Liangyu didn't know?" I think he deliberately didn't take the court seriously! ”

Zheng Eryang has been in the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials for a long time, and he has long heard of Zuo Liangyu's domineering, even if he makes a mistake, the court has nothing to do with him, so he can only scold him for his guilt and meritorious service, and now he looks at it, and it is really so!

Fang Kongzhao, the governor of Huguang, said with a smile: "Lord Zheng is loyal and patriotic, jealous and hateful, we admire it!" ”

Fang Kongzhao has now also entered the crown prince group, although he is only named as the director of the Huguang Branch of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Military Tun, he can be regarded as an insider, and from his conversation with Huang Degong, he vaguely felt that Zuo Liangyu was going to be unlucky.

Not long after, Pegasus came to report that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had arrived.

The officials cheered up, and the sound of gongs and drums in front of the city gate suddenly became louder, and in the midst of the excitement, I saw a large number of flags waving in the wind, and a large number of people and horses appeared in everyone's field of vision.

At the front are several cavalry in a row, the cavalry is wearing helmets and armor, wearing cloaks, they are all strong horses, and the front of the war horse is covered with iron armor with cold light, giving people a great sense of oppression.

Zheng Eryang, the governor of Anqing, and other officials hurriedly greeted him and saluted to welcome the crown prince.

Fang Kongzhao, the governor of Huguang, was a little puzzled, why did the crown prince only bring these thousands of people? Don't plan to clean up Zuo Liangyu?

The main street in Jiujiang City has long been cleared, and the people have also been blocked by the officials to the back, when the officials and the people push each other, I saw a team of fully armed cavalry pouring into the city in a steady stream, the momentum is terrifying, everyone is frightened, the people are no longer pushing, but running back.

The people in all parts of the Ming Dynasty were no less afraid of the officers and soldiers than the rogues, especially the Jiujiang Mansion where Zuo Liangyu was in charge, and they ran away as soon as they saw the officers and soldiers, for fear of suffering.

After entering the Jiujiang Governor's line, Zhu Cihong interrupted Zheng Eryang's politeness and said lightly: "Where is Zuo Liangyu now?" ”

Zheng Eryang was taken aback and said, "I heard from the local prefect that he went to Hukou yesterday to inspect. ”

Zhu Cihong nodded lightly and said: "Summoning the Jiangxi generals to discuss the Jiujiang meeting within five days, and jointly suppress the thieves, if there is any disobedience or lateness, they will be killed!" ”

After the order was issued, I saw dozens of flying horses rushing out of Jiujiang Mansion at the same time, rushing to various towns in Jiangxi.

Jiangxi generals did not dare to slack off after receiving the call, even Zuo Liangyu returned to Jiujiang Mansion from Hukou, the last time he said that he was sick and had dried the crown prince once, this time if he said that he was sick again, it would be a little unreasonable, the most important thing is that Hukou is such a big place, how long can he patrol.

When Zuo Liangyu returned to Jiujiang City, he saw that the city wall was full of elite soldiers wearing iron armor and holding firearms.

Zuo Liangyu was a little uneasy in his heart, and asked his confidant Wang Yuncheng, "General Wang, how are our people?" ”

Wang Yuncheng replied: "Zuo Shuai, my army of 50,000 horses is not far from the city, and there are 20,000 horses of the young marshal in the city. There are tens of thousands of troops in hand, and whoever wants to move Zuo Shuai must weigh whether he has the ability! ”

Zuo Liangyu was very satisfied, and after pondering for a while, he asked again: "Did Huang Degong's men really arrive at Nanchang Mansion?" ”

Wang Yuncheng said: "Exactly, Tanma just replied yesterday, Huang Degong's men and horses have been stationed in Nanchang Mansion, he only brought a hundred guards from Nanchang Mansion to Jiujiang, and General Xu Shen has already led 20,000 horses to deploy in Lushan in the name of preventing Liukou, the Tianwu Army stationed in Nanchang Mansion wants to go north to Jiujiang, it is not easy, unless they can destroy our 20,000 people!" ”

"That's good!" Zuo Liangyu exhaled a long breath and said, "Let's go into the city!" ”

After entering the city, the more he walked to the governor's line, the more elite soldiers of the Tianwu Army became, which made people see at a glance that there was a kind of disciplined and the momentum of the rest of the battle, after seeing it with his own eyes, Zuo Liangyu felt a little lost in his heart, and the elite soldiers in his own camp could not be compared with the Tianwu Army at all.

When I arrived in front of the governor's gate, I saw a big flag standing straight on the ground, with a red dragon flag fluttering on it, and the dragon-shaped woven gold on the dragon flag was faintly visible.

In front of the gate, many generals, deputy generals, staff generals and other generals from all over Jiangxi were already waiting here, and Huang Degong was also standing in the crowd, chatting with other generals there, his expression was very relaxed.

The generals from all over Jiangxi are disgraced, their armor is tattered, and they are dressed like beggars, only Huang Degong is the coolest to wear, his armor is well-armored, and the armor leaves on his body are still shining in the sun, and the stabbing generals almost can't open their eyes.

Seeing Huang Degong here, Zuo Liangyu breathed a sigh of relief, the first division of the Tianwu Army was still in Nanchang Mansion, Huang Degong did not bring troops to come, the crown prince only had 5,000 men and horses in Jiujiang Mansion, and he was safe and worry-free!

As soon as the generals saw Zuo Liangyu coming, they immediately stepped forward to greet him: "Zuo Shuai has arrived!" ”

Zuo Liangyu just nodded lightly and didn't talk to anyone, there were few people in front of him who he could put in his eyes.

Although there are a few of them of the same grade as themselves, and they are also the general ranks, they only have a few thousand people in their hands, and they are not even as good as a general under their own hands, so it is worth making friends with them themselves?

As for this Huang Degong, there are a lot of people in his hands, but they can have a relationship......

Thinking of this, Zuo Liangyu took the initiative to greet him: "Mr. Huang, look up for a long time!" ”

Huang Degong looked at Zuo Liangyu and said with surprise: "Are you?" ”

Zuo Liangyu frowned, this Huang Degong must be intentional, Lao Tzu is so famous, don't you know? Besides, so many people greeted you just now, are you blind or deaf?

Zuo Liangyu said with a dark face: "So-and-so, Zuo Liangyu!" ”

Huang Degong suddenly shouted: "Oh! You are the Zuo Liangyu who was defeated by Lao Hui Ma Shouying in Henan a few years ago and wanted to commit suicide? ”

All the generals looked at Huang Degong in surprise, how could the person who was chatting with him just now turn his face and angrily scolded Zuo Shuai, and he also ruthlessly exposed Zuo Liangyu's shortcomings in public.

Zuo Liangyu's face was pale, and he pointed at Huang Degong and said: "The surname is Huang, Lao Tzu and you are incompatible!" ”
