The second day of the sixth month of the Chang'an calendar.

The soldiers and horses of Yangzhou stationed in Wu County successively pulled out their camps and headed for Jiangzhou!

Levy 100 large and small civilian boats, go south along the red leaf river, and then turn into the Jishui water system, go to Jiangzhou, for a time, the waterway stretches for 100 miles, thousands of sails race, hundreds of boats compete for the current, the huge fleet, has become a majestic scenery, attracting the people along the coast, have a glimpse of the style.

Ying Qiong stood on the deck of the flagship, feeling the refreshing wind on the water, his heart was relaxed, Yue Jun, like a stone pressed in his heart, he sank deeply into this river, and the whole person became relaxed.

"Mansion Marshal, are you really so relieved of Shen Wu'an?" Shen Yan came from behind, and made the old mistake of being too cautious, and asked.

"Don't worry, from the very beginning, we preconceived the hat of rebellion, and we did it first." Ying Qiong said with a smile, as soon as he saw Shen Wu'an's appearance, he didn't really want to rebel, and it wasn't until they met and talked in detail yesterday that he understood the crux of the problem.

"Then can the brothers of our Xuanzhou Army who surrendered want to ......come back?" After Shen Yan heard that the peace talks were successful, he was most concerned about the brothers in the Xuanzhou Military City.

Faced with this question, Ying Qiong was silent, he just looked at the sparkling water and didn't say a word.

Shen Yan felt that Ying Qiong seemed to be a little unhappy, and suddenly felt that he had asked the wrong question, and even said to himself, those brothers who surrendered. He was a little nervous, worried that Ying Qiong would beat him down.

"Our Yangzhou army has no brothers who surrendered, no matter who surrendered." Ying Qiong's words were very light and flat, without the slightest mood swing, but the more this happened, the more nervous Shen Yan became.

"Subordinates keep it in mind!" Shen Yan hurriedly accosted.

"When Zhao Cheng is cleaned up this time, the Xuanzhou Army will be changed to the Xuanzhou Battalion, and the new army will be changed to the Guards Battalion, Shen Yan, you will be the commander of the Xuanzhou Battalion, you will write it down for the time being, and then make the official documents." Ying Qiong said suddenly, this sudden order made Shen Yan a little stunned for a while, and he was stunned for a long time before he reacted and nodded hurriedly.

"Thank you, Marshal! Your subordinates will do their best! Shen Yan hurriedly thanked him. But he was a little apprehensive in his heart, letting himself be the commander of the Xuanzhou battalion, what about Han Chufei? He's the Metropolitan Governor, is it possible to let him be the commander of the Guards Battalion? It's not ...... After thinking about it, he looked at Ying Qiong, and he couldn't understand Ying Qiong's intentions.

"Is there anything new about Jiangzhou?" Ying Qiong asked.

"Back to the mansion, the whole city of Jiangzhou is under martial law, and our people can't get in, so we don't know anything about the situation inside." Shen Yan replied, he also had a headache, and sent several teams of spies, but he didn't get any news back.

"Hmm...... I really don't want to fight siege warfare at all. Ying Qiong sighed.

Shen Yan didn't answer, and quietly stood beside Ying Qiong.

Suddenly, flags were raised on the ships in front.

"What's the situation?" Ying Qiong hurriedly asked.

"Herald!" Shen Yan couldn't understand it, and hurriedly shouted the herald.

A herald carrying two flags quickly ran.

"Quick, what do you mean?" Shen Yan hurriedly pointed to the boat in front of him and said.

The creep looked.

"Back to my lord, a suspicious merchant ship has been intercepted ahead." The soldier said.

"Merchant ships?" Ying Qiong couldn't help asking.

The creep nodded.

"Reply, bring me the people on the boat." Ying Qiong ordered.

The soldier hurriedly pulled down the flag on his back, climbed to the lookout, and waved.

Shen Yan and Ying Qiong had solemn faces.

Soon after, a small wooden boat carrying several people headed towards the flagship.

……

On the deck, there was a bunch of people standing.

Several trembling businessmen stood in Ying Qiong for an interview, their heads bowed, and they didn't dare to speak.

Ying Qiong looked at those people, dressed gorgeously, wearing a high-grade jade wrench on their hands, and a rich and noble face.

"Say! Why did you turn around and run away when you saw us? Ying Qiong asked sharply.

"Spare your life, marshal, spare your life, the little ones have no intention of offending...... Seeing that it was a military ship, I was afraid, so I turned around. The merchants fell to their knees and begged for mercy.

"Where are you from?" Ying Qiong asked again.

"The little ones are the ships of the Li family trading house in Jiangzhou, and they are going to go to Wu County and Yue County to do some business...... the merchants explained in a panic, and the fierce soldiers around them were so frightened that they were scattered.

"Jiangzhou? Lee's Firm? Isn't there martial law there? How did you guys get out? Ying Qiong keenly smelled the key information, and was immediately happy, it seems that these people may be useful to him.

"Isn't this the son of the Zhao family who arrived in Jiangzhou a few days ago...... Therefore, our Li firm is an exception, and it can enter and exit Jiangzhou. Seeing that Ying Qiong seemed to be interested in them, the merchants instantly calmed down.

"Does it matter?" Ying Qiong was puzzled.

"Yes, we have just come back from the Six Edicts to discuss the sale, the Six Edicts need a lot of food, and we have now negotiated a big deal of 1,000 stones, and in this 1,000 stones, the son of the Zhao family promised 500 stones, so we can make an exception." The merchants replied honestly.

After Ying Qiong and Shen Yan heard this, they were a little uneasy, why did they pull the six edicts again?

"Then is Zhao Cheng still in Jiangzhou now?" Ying Qiong continued to ask.

"No, I've already taken Lord Lu towards Yangzhou City." The merchant thought for a moment and replied.

Now Ying Qiong was completely stunned and went to Yangzhou? What to do in Yangzhou?

"How many of them went? What to do? Shen Yan hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the merchant by the collar and asked.

"There are so many people, there are many people, adults spare their lives, small sentences are true, spare lives...... Spare your life. The merchant screamed in fright.

"How many people? Say it quickly, or I'll throw you into the river to feed the fish! Shen Yan threatened.

"About ...... Approximately...... There are about 5,000 people, and the small ones are just listening to the guys in the trading house, and I really don't know the specifics...... "When the merchant heard that he was going to be fed fish, where did he still stand, his legs were weak, and he collapsed directly on the ground."

Ying Qiong's face was pale, his heart fluctuated, he slapped it on the side of the ship, his brows were tightly locked, and he looked in the direction of Jiangzhou, anxious.

"The marshal...... We...... I'm afraid it's too late. Shen Yan said quietly.

"Once Yangzhou City is controlled by Zhao Cheng, it will become my weakness, and the consequences will be unimaginable!" Ying Qiong roared in a low voice, he was now eager to put on his wings and fly back to Yangzhou.

"When you arrive in Jiangzhou, Gongzi can send a fast horse to send a message to the governor of the capital, maybe he can catch up with them." Shen Yan thought about it and said.

"Good! I can only do this, I hope Han Chufei can have a way to hold them back. Ying Qiong sighed, I didn't expect that Zhao Cheng had also worked hard to manage this Jiangzhou, and even the county guards could hide 5,000 soldiers and horses, and he seemed to have underestimated him.

"But...... I mentioned the six edicts just now, and my subordinates have some bad premonitions. Shen Yan was worried.

"Well, Ben Shuai also noticed it, but right now, Zhao Cheng must be solved as soon as possible, otherwise it will ......" Ying Qiong glanced at those businessmen, and felt a lot of helplessness in his heart, why things are getting more and more chaotic, the more they deal with it, the more they are in a mess, is it because they are not capable enough or what's wrong......

"Don't worry too much, no matter what, we will definitely be in the same boat with the marshal!" Shen Yan said with relief.

Ying Qiong nodded and went back to the cabin.

"Take them back and let them go." Shen Yan confessed.

"Yes!" The soldiers escorted the merchants off the flagship.
