Zhao Hangfei was panicked, but he was still calm, and it was best not to find any superfluous excuses or shirk responsibility at this time. He originally planned to admit that he was incompetent and ask to be removed from the post of chief general in order to save his life, but he had just opened his mouth to shout a holy word, but Zhao Wuchang interrupted him.

"That's it! You should tell me about the plague in Yangzhou City! ”

Zhao Hangfei had just held back his words, and he lost his direction, and he was inevitably a little overwhelmed for a while. Besides, he was completely clueless about the plague in Yangzhou......

"When you withdrew your troops, how many people died in Yangzhou City?" Fortunately, Zhao Wuchang didn't make it difficult for him, so he added a specific sentence.

"They burned the bodies of five people outside the city...... he was not sure about this number, because he did not dare to go up and check it out under the circumstances. Five people, just a number that he saw from afar, roughly estimated.

"Five people? One night, these people died...... It seems that the plague in Yangzhou City is quite serious. Zhao Wuchang didn't fully believe his words, but replaced them with "these people".

"That's right! Previously, I sent the king of Yangzhou City to join the army, what about the others? Zhao Hangfei was still worried in his heart, but the emperor of Beiqing had already asked Wang Zhenghao......

What is Wang Zhenghao's current situation, whether he is dead or alive, Zhao Hangfei does not know at all. Seriously, if he hadn't heard Zhao Wuchang ask, he would have forgotten that there was such a number one person.

"The king joined the army...... It should still be in Yangzhou City. It was true that he didn't see Wang Zhenghao come out, so Zhao Hangfei replied truthfully.

Emperor Beiqing, who was walking in front, couldn't help but stop when he heard this, "He is still in Yangzhou City?" Didn't you send someone to contact you? ”

The two armies are at war, and they do not come to the enemy. Although many times the envoys have gone and never returned...... But the corpse will always be returned. Wang Zhenghao, as an envoy of Beiqing, was personally received by the Beiqing emperor before he went to Yangzhou. Although he is just a "tool", but now that he has become such a situation where he can't see anyone alive or dead, after all, Zhao Wuchang is a little angry - an obedient and handy tool is not easy to find!

Zhao Hangfei didn't expect this master to ask so much for a long time, but what he cared about the most was Wang Zhenghao, the guy who could only play tricks! Seeing that this master stopped, as if he was really angry, Zhao Hangfei felt worried again in his heart...... The emperor's mind is really a little elusive.

"Because there is a plague in Yangzhou, I ......am only afraid that I want to return to the king to join the army," Zhao Hangfei wanted to speak and stopped, but the meaning of the words was already very clear. He felt that in the case of the plague in Yangzhou, Wang Zhenghao, who came out of Yangzhou City, would inevitably cause the officers and men in the army to "look at it differently...... Whether this is an excuse or not, but the truth is always the same!

"Humph! You're going to make excuses! It's just that the emperor of Beiqing obviously doesn't care about this, he completely takes this as an excuse for Zhao Hangfei.

"The last will be damned! That's what it is...... I personally went to Yangzhou to return to the king to join the army! Zhao Hangfei originally wanted to say that he would send someone there, but halfway through the words, he changed his words again: it is always better to go to Yangzhou by himself than to be killed.

Zhao Wuchang's expression was indifferent, and he didn't say whether he should or not, so he flicked his sleeves and turned away...... Zhao Hangfei knew that this was the master who gave him a chance.

"You go now! If you can't see Wang Zhenghao, you don't have to come back. "Sure enough! Zhao Wuchang, who had not walked a few steps, added another sentence......

Just when the emperor of Beiqing walked all the way to the official road leading to Yangzhou by the river, the more than 20,000 horses he brought with him finally all came ashore.

Of course, more than 20,000 people are not all the troops he leads, because even if you add the 10,000 troops led by Zhao Hangfei at this time, it is only only 30,000 people...... This is still a little too little for the three armies of Yangzhou Chengnan Qing, who plan to fight him to the end.

After the fleet dropped these people, it headed for Jiangbei again. In fact, at this time, it is a good opportunity for Nanqing to attack: if the three armies of Nanqing in Yangzhou City come out, it will be these 30,000 people, no matter how elite they are, but they are still a little unsightly!

Shi Yuan actually thought so, Beiqing must have to land in batches, as long as he seized the gap in their transportation, he could completely wipe them out on the bank of the Yangtze River...... But he didn't do it in the end, but chose to completely retreat to Yangzhou and have a head-to-head confrontation with the Beiqing army.

In fact, it is not that he is conceited that he will definitely be able to defeat the Beiqing army, and he will be able to drive the great prince who ascended the throne to the south of the Yangtze River, which is not without reason. No matter how rampant he is, he is still more cautious about this matter of life and death for hundreds of thousands of people.

And the answer to why this is the case...... Shi Yuan himself didn't want to believe it, he actually just didn't want the land of Huaxia to fall apart, it was as simple as that!

What he wanted to do was not to stop Beiqing from the very beginning, but to ...... Annexation of Beiqing ......

"The team is already in order...... For Zhao Wuchang, who has not been to Jiangnan for a long time, this half of the country that he dreams of is undoubtedly crazy for him. After "sending" Zhao Hangfei away, he stood on this official road for most of the day......

"Ah Fu, do you think I can take Jiangnan this time?" Hearing a report from someone behind him, Zhao Wuchang suddenly asked.

The "Ah Bun" in his mouth is a scholar he grew up with. The scholar didn't have a name, and he was originally named "Amu", but because Zhao Wuchang didn't really spit out words when he was a child, he always called him "Amu...... This is called nearly 30 years.

Ah Fu's status in the Beiqing Dynasty was very special, and he never interfered in any political affairs - except for what Zhao Wuchang asked him to do. He was like a phantom, following Zhao Wuchang all the time...... Even when Zhao Wuchang went to Saibei, he always followed him.

Of course, in the Beiqing Dynasty, no one dared to offend this person who had no official or lord, but had a respected status.

"If you can take it, you can definitely take it, but if you can't take it...... That can't be forced. "In the Beiqing Dynasty, the only person who dared to use this tone to Zhao Wuchang was Ah Fu.

"But...... I want to take it! Zhao Wuchang's tone was a little tough, and he could almost hear the sound of him clenching his teeth.

"Ah Man, if I lose this time, I won't go back......"
