Chapter XXVII
One of the generals touched his neck and shouted: "Lord Sule, you mean that those troops have already planned to surrender, and even if we were in the camp last night, they would have launched a rebellion?" When did Nanban have such courage? ”
Several generals also echoed the voice: "Yes, since our Jianzhou Eight Banners soldiers entered the customs, they have never met a general who dares to fight, and they have never met a soldier who dares to fight. ”
Su Le glanced at everyone coldly and said, "But today, we met, everyone, where should I go now?" ”
suffocated the generals, and wanted to say that they would catch up, kill him without leaving a piece of armor, and snatch back the silver car, but take a look at the vast Hongze Lake, and then think about how many of their brothers can swim, and suddenly they all fell silent, and they didn't dare to make a sound.
"I checked this group of troops, they are all from the first army, the leader is SC General Li Tingyu, although he followed Liu Liangzuo to the Qing Dynasty, but it was not disrupted, and the whole army was still united, and even the generals who led the team were not changed, this has to be said to be our miscalculation, our Qing army has won successive battles, and the Southern Barbarians are weak, so that we have lost our vigilance against them." Seeing that everyone was at a loss, Su Le said coldly: "This is Tuzuoling's problem, and when we report it, we must make this stubble clear." ”
As soon as the generals heard this, they immediately understood that this was to get rid of the responsibility of everyone as subordinates, and push the responsibility for losing the silver car to the dead man Tuhai as much as possible, and now the silver car can no longer be recovered, because Hongze Lake is to the west, as long as you go ashore, you will enter the territory of AH, that place has just been beaten down by the British Prince Azig, and the remnants of the Dashun army Li Zicheng are flowing throughout the province, and some remnants of the Nanming are also active there, a mess, and it is not at all that they can go to the hundreds of people.
Since the silver car can't be recovered, you have to find a way to shirk the sin on your body, as soon as Su Le said this, everyone's eyes lit up: The dead will not shirk the guilt, Tu Zuoling, don't pull the brothers into the water when you die, give the brothers a top. So everyone immediately responded: "Of course, of course, today we will enter Huai'an City, and send someone to report to the prince of Yu clearly, explain the reason, and explain the merits." ”
Su Le nodded with a cold face and said, "That's the case, adults, let's not delay here, let's leave quickly." ”
One of the generals blurted out: "That group of Nanban troops surrendered and killed Master Tu and more than a hundred brothers, so we won't chase them?" ”
As soon as the words came out, he regretted it, how to chase it? Swim to go? From Huai'an, the naval army warship came? How much time does it take, and when the ship comes, everyone may arrive at AH.
The other generals all rolled their eyes and squinted, and the speakers also opened their mouths and didn't know what to say, and when they were embarrassed, they listened to Su Le's words: "Chase, of course you have to chase!" ”
Su Le's face was pale, his eyes were red, and a pair of fists were about to drip out, and he said hatefully: "Su Le received the great favor of Tuzuo, followed the left and right, taught by words and deeds, he was both a senior official of Su Le, and a good teacher of Su Le, and now he has died a tragic death, but he did not die in the battle array, but he died in the small people, such a big hatred, if Su Le can't repay it, he will be in vain!" ”
Looking at him, the relationship between Su Le and Tu Hai is indeed very close, and he became Tu Hai's deputy at a young age, if it wasn't for Tu Hai's intentional cultivation, Su Le would not have reached his current status anyway, because Su Le's background is not a mature girl, but a born girl.
When someone else said this, it might have been said in a moment of anger, but it was inevitable that Souler would say so, and no one would doubt his determination.
Su Le turned over his horse, gritted his teeth and said: "Let's go back to take care of the aftermath first, and when this is over, I, Su Le, swear with my net worth and my life that I will definitely cut off Li Tingyu's head to sacrifice the Heavenly Heroic Spirit led by Tuzuo!" ”
With a wave of his horsewhip, he led the cavalry to gallop towards the way he came, and the generals looked at each other and hurriedly got on their horses and followed. Hundreds of people followed the road they came, turned onto the avenue, and divided into two teams, one team returned to the Tiger Roaring Valley and led the baggage battalion, and the other team hurried up and rushed towards Huai'an City.
The turmoil on the shore, Wang Huan and the others on the lake didn't know at all, they were blowing the cool lake breeze and leisurely taking a boat to the west.
Twenty boats, heavy with the wind, the water and sky on the lake are colorful, occasionally fishing boats float at the water antenna, a small black spot appears in the sun, when the fleet approaches, immediately disappear.
The fleet seemed to be sailing on the sea, walked for more than an hour, in addition to seeing the shadow of a few fishing boats in the distance, as far as the eye could see, it was an empty lake, water birds soaring, eating fish on the lake, and even flew tired and stopped directly on the mast of the boat to rest, in such an environment, a group of people sitting on the boat could not help but produce a kind of open-minded, ambitious and proud mood.
"How? Lord Tu, the scenery of Hongze Lake is pleasant, right? Li Wancai stood at the bow of the boat with a smile and said to Li Tingyu, who was enjoying the lake view in front of him.
Li Tingyu touched his beard and sighed: "It is indeed a beautiful scenery, I will grow in the mountains, and I have seen big rivers, but such a vast and boundless lake as Hongze Lake, but it is the first time I have seen it in my life." ”
Li Wancai snorted softly in his nostrils, a hint of banter flashed in his eyes, and he said in his heart: Tubaozi, I have never seen the world's Jianzhou yam eggs, just the white mountains and black waters of Jianzhou, where can you see such spectacular and beautiful lakes and mountains? But he kept smiling on his face, and echoed in his mouth: "It's a vast scenery like smoke, no wonder your adult is so angry." It's a pity that there is no wine here, otherwise it would be nice to sit and drink with adults while enjoying the beautiful scenery! ”
Li Tingyu turned around and smiled: "Master Li doesn't have to mind, you and I are familiar at first sight, there is wine or not, what does it matter?" ”
These words were like a pot of liquor in the winter, Li Wancai's heart was hot and hot, and he immediately became excited, and the contempt in his heart was thrown out of the clouds in an instant, regardless of the fact that he was secretly ridiculing the other party just now as a turtle who had never seen the world, he bowed to Li Tingyu and said in a trembling voice: "Yes, yes, what Lord Tu said is that there is no wine here, but there are countless wines, and being able to become friends with Lord Tu makes Xia Guan feel slightly drunk with nectar." ”
Li Tingyu kindly hugged Li Wancai's shoulder, and said earnestly: "Whatever Lord Li said, Lord Li did not hesitate to work hard, from Huai'an to personally lead the boat to the lake, this loyalty to the Qing Dynasty, Li ...... Oh, Tu kept in mind that he would report truthfully to the court, and in the future, you and I will be officials in the same court, and we will take care of each other more. ”
Li Wancai's mood was like a fledgling that flew into the sky, he was pleasantly surprised, he didn't expect that this trip was really not in vain, so smoothly he climbed the friendship with Tuhai, in the future, there will be communication and coordination with these Duoduo cronies, and then a little capital bribe, he will definitely be able to rely on the big tree of Duoduo, not to mention the governor of Caoyun, no matter how big the position is, he may be able to sit.
Thinking of this, Li Wancai was even more excited, and hurriedly took the opportunity to introduce his position and work to Li Tingyu, as if the entire Huai'an Caoyun Yamen was maintained by him, and he was not the governor of Caoyun, it was simply intolerable.
Li Tingyu nodded again and again, as if he was listening very seriously, so stimulated that Li Wancai didn't even have time to drink water, and kept talking, unaware that the fleet had been driving on the lake for a long time, and it had far exceeded the boundary of Huai'an.
His subordinates took a group of entourages and followed him on the boat, and at this time they also looked at each other, when is Master Li going to be sent, do you want to accompany him across Hongze Lake? Moreover, the Qing army escorted the goods north, but the ship kept heading west, and there was no sign of turning.
Finally, one of his cronies felt the need to remind his master, lest the two of them get too involved in the conversation and get down to business.
"My lord, the fleet is already far from shore, and further on, it is Mudun Island." He cautiously approached Li Wancai and spoke softly.
Li Wancai was talking happily, his saliva was splashing, and he was interrupted by his relatives, and he was immediately angry, are you blind? I didn't see Lao Tzu finally meet an easy-going Eight Banners leader, and he was trying to climb the relationship, what the hell are you bothering?
As soon as his eyes widened, Li Wancai raised his hand and was about to slap him a few times, and scolded in his mouth: "Something that doesn't have eyesight!" Didn't see ......"
But when he saw his relatives squeezing his eyebrows there, he seemed to have an anxious look, and his brain exploded, and he immediately reacted: Ah, how did I forget this!
It's about to be on Mudun Island, what is Mudun Island? The nest of the water thieves in Hongze Lake, since the early years of Chongzhen, the water thieves in Hongze Lake have not stopped, robbing passing ships on the lake every three or five times, doing how many big cases, and even the boats escorted by officers and soldiers dare to rob grain, since they took office, they have been dealing with this gang of water thieves, Caoyun Yamen commands the local guard post to often send troops to clean up, but the water thieves are cunning and abnormal, hiding on the vast lake and scattering as ordinary fishermen, and gathering people to kill soldiers and behead generals when there are few officers and soldiers, which is a headache. Tian Yang, the last governor of Caoyun in the Ming Dynasty, once spent a lot of effort to buy a water thief insider, set up an ambush and surrounded the white dragon in the waves, the leader of the water thieves, and shot countless water thieves with thousands of arrows, but unfortunately he still let him jump into the water and run, and it was a waste of effort. In recent years, Langlilong has recruited a lot of displaced people, and the momentum has become even greater, and if it were not for a fleet of more than 50 ships and more than 500 soldiers and horses, the Caoyun Yamen would not have dared to go to the lake at all.
How many people do you have now? As soon as Li Wancai's mind turned, this cold sweat came down, the hand that fanned out stopped in mid-air, and he hurriedly turned his face and said to Li Tingyu: "My lord, the official document said that the goods on this ship are to be transported along Beijing and Hangzhou, and now that the ship has arrived in the middle of the lake, if it does not turn, it will delay the trip." ”
Li Tingyu stood like a pine, waved his hand leisurely, and said slowly: "It's okay, this lake is so beautiful, take an extra trip, and then enjoy it." ”
Li Wancai was so anxious, just now he only cared about talking, he didn't notice the direction of the fleet at all, and he actually drove westward, this place has entered the range of activities of the water thieves, and if he delays it again, in case he encounters the water thieves, although the Qing army is strong, but this water kung fu, maybe not very skilled, once there is a mistake, his responsibility will be great.
He was about to persuade again, but he heard Li Tingyu stretch out a hand, pointed ahead, and said strangely: "Yo, there is such a big island there!" ”
Li Wancai looked at it intently, and sighed in his heart, secretly screaming that it was not good!
Mudun Island is already in sight.
