Fang Kongzhi's expression was ashen, and his whole body trembled, like a mourning exam.

He has studied "Yi" for many years, and his qi cultivation skills are very deep, but at this time, he still can't help but look uneasy.

When he returned to the house with this appearance, Fang Yizhi saw it, and his expression couldn't help but change greatly: "Boss, what's wrong?" ”

Although there is also an industry in Jinling City, Yu Guozhen still stayed in Fang's house last night, and he took a few steps forward to support Fang Kongzhi.

Fang Kongzhi waved his hand, signaling him to let go, and looked at his juniors and brothers one by one.

"Something is wrong." He whispered, "Let's talk about it when we come inside." ”

Nan~Jingshang Baoqing is an idle job, but Fang Kongzhi's news is not slow, so the big event came to Nan~Jing, and he heard it as soon as possible.

After entering the house, Fang Kongzhi did not rush to tell the news, but looked at Yu Guozhen: "Jimin, do you know what happened?" ”

"Rogue." Yu Guozhen replied without hesitation: "Yingzhou? ”

He was not afraid to show his foresight in front of Fang Kongzhi, the relationship between the Yu family and the Fang family was already quite close now, and his plan also needed the cooperation of the Fang family.

"How do you ...... That's it, the old man can think of it, let alone you? ”

Fang Kongzhi sighed, he was really convinced of Yu Guozhen's vision and talent. Vaguely, he even felt that Yu Guozhen was more thoughtful than him, a veteran of politics who had been up and down for decades.

He told the military situation one by one, it turned out that since last year, the thieves have been entangled in one place, forming a large share, and the number of people has reached more than 100,000. They ravaged the Central Plains, moving from east to west, mobilizing officers and troops, and exhausted themselves. As a result, the feudal officials Chen Qiyu and Lian Guoshi were dismissed, and the imperial court had to take Hong Chengchou as the governor of the military affairs of the four provinces, mobilize the troops of the provinces, and pursue and intercept them on all sides, preparing to fight in Shaanxi ~ west. However, the thieves took advantage of the gap between the officers and soldiers to jump out of the encirclement and enter He~Nan, and by the end of the year, 13 families and 72 battalions, 230,000 people, gathered between Yi~Yang, Song~County, Nan~Yang, Luo~Yang.

On the sixth day of the first month of the eighth year of Chongzhen, the thieves met in Xing ~ Yang, broke Xing ~ Yangcheng, after the Xing ~ Yang converged, the thieves with Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong as the core of the main force, then waved their troops to the east, through the river ~ Nanru ~ Ning south, captured Gu ~ Shi, Huoqiu, and the sweeping king Zhang Yichuan also suddenly broke through Yingzhou.

Yingzhou was broken, and the entire Anhui realm was completely exposed to the thieves.

"The middle capital is in danger." Yu Guozhen said again.

He is not afraid to tell the history that will happen, because even if Chongzhen in the capital orders now, he can't change the fate that Zhongdu Feng ~ Yang is about to face.

"Exactly, there are only 2,000 officers and soldiers guarding the tomb in Zhongdu, and at the end of last year, Fang mutiny killed Hou Dingguo, the commander of the Imperial Tomb Guard." Fang Kongzhi thumped his hands and sighed: "Governor Yang Yipeng is in Huai'an, I'm afraid I can't save him!" ”

"Cao Yun is in danger!" Fang Yizhi and Sun Lin also said.

The Ming Dynasty originally set the capital of Jinling, and later Ming Chengzu moved to Bei~Beijing, and hundreds of thousands of officials of all sizes gathered in the capital, plus the sergeants of the Gongwei Beijing Division, as well as their family members, all added up to millions of people, almost half of the supply depended on Caoyun.

In addition, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians also need to rely on Cao to travel to Denglai for supplies.

Now that the thieves have captured Fengyang, they will inevitably cut off the canal, and the capital and the outside of the customs will soon fall into an embarrassment.

It can be said that the thief's breakthrough from Henan to Yingzhou has changed the situation in the world dramatically, and the thief is no longer a problem of moss, but has become a confidant of Jin Dongyu after comparable.

"Chen Qiyu should be damned, Hong Chengchou is incompetent!" Sun Lin took the case.

Chen Qiyu was tricked by the thieves in the Battle of Carriage Gorge, causing the thieves who had already been in a desperate situation to get out of the situation, and Hong Chengchou, who replaced him, supervised the soldiers of the four provinces, but played a lot for the thieves.

"Don't say that!" Fang Kongzhi glared at him, and Sun Lin immediately lowered his head and said no more.

"Jimin, do you think the state is ...... When? ”

"The thief has won the will for a while, although the momentum is strong, but when the court reacts, the soldiers will attack him, and the thief will escape." Yu Guozhen sighed: "In the old years, Huang Wending and Wang Guohua made trouble, and there must be thieves to control and test my Jianghuai hypocrisy, so this year is to take advantage of the void." The southeast is rich, and the thieves are eager to plunder, but they are afraid that they will come to the southern capital...... An Lu will suffer from a military disaster, it depends on whether he Zhang Guowei and Shi Kefa can deal with it. ”

When it came to Shi Kefa, Sun Lin's expression was a little strange, and so was Fang Kongzhi.

Fang Kongzhi coughed, and said slowly: "Jimin, there is one thing you may not know, Shi Kefa can guard Anlu Chida, although it is recommended by Zhang Dongyang, but Kexian's brother Mingqing is also a counselor. If Shi Kefa is defeated, Mingqing is afraid that he will also be responsible. ”

Yu Guozhen was stunned for a moment.

He knew that Sun Lin Shao was relying on his brother Sun Jin, and now Sun Jin was in the middle of the court, but he didn't know that Sun Jin had also made a lot of effort in the matter of Shi Kefa's division of Anluchi!

So...... He looked at Sun Lin, only to see his brother-in-law with a wry smile on his face.

"Before you calculated Shi Daolin, I won't stop you, because he has done it first." Fang Kongzhi said again.

Fang Kongzhi was indeed a little annoyed, and the relationship between him and Donglin, with Sun Jin's recommendation to Shi Kefa, even if Shi Kefa wanted to move Yu Guozhen, he had to save some face for them. At the very least, explain it to them in writing and ask for their opinions.

Therefore, Yu Guozhen borrowed their power to disgust Shi Kefa, but Fang Kongzhi only pretended not to know, and secretly cooperated.

But now it's different, and now Sun Lin's brother may be implicated.

Yu Guozhen laughed: "How can the younger generation sit idly by, it will not make the thieves come to Jinling City." ”

Fang Kongzhi nodded, as long as Yu Guozhen was willing to make a contribution, he didn't expect that with Yu Guozhen's two or three hundred families, he could defeat hundreds of thousands of thieves.

Shi Kefa is now reporting on his work in Suzhou, he should not have gotten the news yet, if he gets the news, he is afraid that he will rush back to Luzhou in the starry night. The thieves are in Yingchuan, and they are not far from Luzhou.

"Junior, let's go back to Xiang'an." Yu Guozhen said again.

"Go ahead, be careful." Fang Kong said.

Yu Guozhen went out, and Sun Lin followed behind him: "Jimin, I'll go with you!" ”

"And me!" Fang Yizhi also rushed over.

Yu Guozhen laughed, suddenly opened his hands together, and patted the shoulders of the two of them heavily: "Brother Kexian will go with me, as for Brother Mi, stay here and remove my worries." ”

"Why did you let me stay in Jinling?" Fang Yizhi was furious when he heard this: "Jimin, are you looking down on me? ”

"If the thieves attack Jinling, I still count on you to take care of Ziyi." Yu Guozhen stopped and said solemnly: "There is still an old man here, and there are so many relatives in the family, how can you go with me?" ”

Fang Yizhi glanced at Sun Lin, Sun Lin spread his hand, and said angrily: "Jimin is right, someone has to stay at home in the end." ”

"It's Brother Kexian, if you want to go with me, you have to accept one of my conditions." Yu Guozhen said to Sun Lin again.

"Don't say one condition, as long as you can kill thieves for the country, it is ten hundred conditions, and I will agree!"

"You must obey my orders, don't act without permission, the army is ruthless, if necessary, I will beat you to deter the whole army!"

"Rest assured!" With such a condition, what does Sun Lin have to refuse!

At this time, the news had spread throughout Jinling through various channels, and they came out to see everyone's faces with a look of anxiety.

People with a little insight realize that if the thieves really break Feng~Yang, then Jinling is their next target, after all, although Feng~Yang is known as the central capital, in fact, how can there be prosperity around Jinling!

Yu Guozhen rode his horse and soon arrived at his residence.

"Little official!"

Gao Erzhu, who also got the news, was already waiting for him, Yu Guozhen and Sun Xian went straight into the house, and Qi Niu stayed outside the house.

"In addition to the breach of Yingzhou, what is the new news?" Yu Guozhen didn't hide it from Sun Lin, and asked Gao Erzhu directly.

"The people in the city are in turmoil, at least dozens of horsemen have left for the house, and the shops have begun to close." Gao Erzhu said in a low voice: "The price of rice and salt has begun to rise, and even firewood has begun to be robbed." ”

"The news spread quickly." Yu Guozhen laughed: "A thousand holes! ”

This court is indeed full of holes, originally such a big matter, it should be temporarily blocked, so as not to panic after the people know about it, but now it seems that the speed of Gao Erzhu getting the news is not slower than Fang Kongzhi, which only proves that the control ability of the court is getting weaker and weaker.

"Is there any news from Feng 'Yang?" Yu Guozhen asked again.

This question made Sun Lin frightened, and he stared at Yu Guozhen, his face full of incredulity.

"As soon as the messenger arrived, the Feng'yang garrison eunuch was extremely greedy and wantonly looted the people's wealth, and Hou Dingguo, the commander of the imperial tomb who was killed a few years ago, was his confidant. The local people reported to Wu Zhenying, who was the governor of the imperial history, but Zhenying did not dare to accept it and blamed the people. ”

"Oops!" When Sun Lin heard this, he couldn't doubt why Yu Guozhen would send someone to inquire about the news of Feng' Yang, and sighed suddenly: "Feng ' Yang is not guarded!" ”

"In addition, because it is close to the Lantern Festival, Feng' Yang is the central capital, and it is not forbidden for three days according to the rule." When Gao Erzhu said this, he also had a wry smile on his face.

"What's the use of whitewashing the peace, but to give thieves a chance, no, no, you must send someone to Fengyang overnight to warn!" Sun Lin shouted: "Jimin, I'll go, give me a fast horse, I'll go to Phoenix to warn!" ”

Yu Guozhen grabbed him, glared at him and said, "Do you think that there are no smart people in Feng'yang, and you can't see that the thieves are coming?" Mo said that it was the thirteenth day of the first month at this time, and since then, even the stagecoach has to work hard all night, and when you go, it is too late! ”

Although Sun Lin was worried about the people of the city, he had to admit that what Yu Guozhen said was right. Even if he hurried his horse, he would not be able to reach the Central Capital before the thieves.

"Jimin...... You, you have long known that thieves will attack Ying'zhou and Feng'yang? After calming down, the initial doubts surfaced again, and Sun Lin looked at Yu Guozhen: "Therefore, send someone to investigate in Feng'yang?" ”

"When the thieves arrived in the south of the river, I judged that the direction of their march might be Nanzhili or Shan'dong, and the mountain' Dongfu passed through the Denglai Rebellion, and there were still heavy troops, and the thieves did not dare to go, so the only possibility was that we were in Nanzhili. Previously, the thieves had tossed and turned repeatedly in the south of the river, but they were just creating momentum and attracting the surrounding officers and soldiers. Yu Guozhen sighed: "There are wise people among thieves, don't underestimate them!" ”
