Although Zhou Tai defeated the team that escorted Gan Ning, it also attracted the revenge of Huang Zu's large army. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Outnumbered, Zhou Tai and Gan Ning were both captured by Huang Zusheng.

Fortunately, on the eve of being captured, Zhou Tai summoned Gan Ning and Jiang Qin to discuss the matter of asking for help, and Jiang Qin was able to leave ahead of schedule with a distress letter and tokens, and at the same time survived.

After reading the distress letter, Yuan Jiang raised his head and said in a deep voice: "Jiang Gongyi, don't panic, my son is about to raise troops to Lujiang to quell the rebellion of the bandits, and when the time comes, you can go to rescue Youping and them first." ”

Jiang Qin was slightly stunned for Yuan Jiangneng to call out his words, but when he thought that there was something more important, he put this matter behind him and said: "Childe, I can't hide it, before I arrived in Shouchun City, I received a letter from my henchman Hongyan, which said that Youping and Xingba had been tied up by Huang Zu's people to Jiangxia. ”

"I've been kidnapped to Jiangxia, what does this mean?"

Yuan Jiang frowned slightly, he never understood two things: first, why did Huang Zu hit Zhou Tai and Gan Ning with heavy punches; Second, if they are tied, they will be tied, why do you go to great lengths to bring them back to Jiangxia, isn't it good to solve them nearby?

Yuan Jiang only thought about these doubts in his heart, and it was useless to say them, after all, Jiang Qin was an insider, and many things had not yet been understood by Yuan Jiang.

Jiang Qin hurriedly said: "Son, the lives of these two of me are all in your hands, you must save them and send troops as soon as possible, otherwise, I am afraid of ......."

Yuan Jiang bowed slightly, "That's it, Huang Zu has an old relationship with my father, I will first play my father, and ask him to write a letter to Huang Zu, tomorrow, my son will personally lead the army to Jiangxia, I don't know what the public will do?" ”

Jiang Qin arched his hand and said: "Everything is according to the orders of the son." ”

After settling Jiang Qin, Yuan Jiang hurriedly left the mansion gate and rushed to Yuan Shu's residence.

Seeing his son who turned back not long after, Yuan Shu asked suspiciously, "Jiang'er, why are you back again?" Looking at your hurried appearance, there must be something urgent to discuss with your father? ”

"Yes, exactly!"

Yuan Jiang nodded, and told Zhou Tai about it to Yuan Shu completely.

Yuan Shu said without thinking: "No problem, I'll write a letter to someone important now and send it to someone in the starry night." ”

"Son, thank you, father!"

After bidding farewell to Yuan Shu, Yuan Jiang went to the military camp in the south of the city and recruited Li Zicheng and Chen Zhi.

Yuan Jiang instructed: "Zicheng, Shuzhi, you must gather troops and horses today, and tomorrow morning, we will go straight to Lujiang." ”

Li Zicheng asked puzzledly: "Childe, why are we in such a hurry, hasn't this bandit matter not yet spread to Lujiang?" What's more, Lord Governor has already issued an edict to release Lu Ji, and he thinks that Lu Kangding will resist desperately. We still have a lot to do here, after all, just after the Spring Festival, the military spirit is not very neat. ”

Yuan Jiang shook his head, "It's too late for us to slow down, just do as I say, the purpose of our trip is not Lujiang, but Lujiang's neighbor Jiangxia County." ”

Li Zicheng and Chen Zhi glanced at each other, both of them opened their mouths in surprise, and Li Zicheng said: "Childe, is it too anxious to attack Jiangxia County now?" ”

Yuan Jiang waved his hand and said: "Although our goal is Jiangxia County, I have no intention of taking it into my pocket, hey, let's talk about it on the road, you go to prepare first, and by the way, invite Mr. Ziyang to my account." ”

In the camp tent, not long after waiting, Yuan Jiang saw Liu Ye, who wanted to bow down, but was stopped by Yuan Jiang with his hand, "Mr. Ziyang, you don't need to be polite, I am in such a hurry to invite you here, there is something important to discuss." ”

Liu Ye sat down with Yuan Jiang and said slowly: "Childe, if you have something to say, you will never shirk where you can help." ”

Yuan Jiang bowed slightly, and told Liu Ye about Zhou Tai's capture by Huang Zu, as well as his own preparations.

After Liu Ye listened, he fell into silence, and after a long time, he said: "Childe, don't hide it, you asked me about this matter, you are asking the right person." ”

Yuan Jiang raised his eyebrows with interest, "Oh, could it be that Mr. Ziyang, you already know something about the matter between Huang Zu and Zhou Tai?" ”

Liu Ye nodded vigorously and said truthfully: "When Xia Yuan was in the nest, I heard about this, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is not the contradiction between Huang Zu and Zhou Tai, but the entanglement between the river robbers and the Jiangxia Hao clan. ”

Yuan Jiang was still confused, "Mr. Ziyang, please continue." ”

Liu Ye said: "Gongzi also knows that Huang Zu is a member of the Lu Huang clan in Jiangxia. Jiangxia Huang is a famous scholar family, that is, the famous minister Huang Xiang family. When Liu Biao was the pastor of Jingzhou, he reused the power of the local wealthy clans, and Huang Zu served as the Taishou of Jiangxia, which was the representative of the local wealthy clans.

Jiangxia Hao family is easy to trade, and their usual income basically comes from the river, relying on the sale of goods in the south of the Yangtze River and the north of the Yangtze River to earn a high price difference; The existence of the robbers has greatly damaged their interests, it can be said that the robbers are the natural enemies of the Jiangxia Hao clan, and the two parties present a stiff situation with you without me, with me without you, I think this time Huang Zu must have come prepared and deliberately cracked down on the robbers. ”

When Yuan Jiang heard this, he nodded approvingly, "What Mr. Ziyang said is very true, listening to what you said, I also understand, this Gan Ning is a famous Jinfan thief on the river, and Zhou Tai is also a strong party, Huang Zu's beheading operation this time is to sweep away the two major disasters; And then it is to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger. ”

Liu Ye said: "Childe is really a smart person, just a little bit." Since Huang Zu, Zhou Tai and others are still in an incompatible situation, I think that the letter of inquiry written by Gongzi to the state pastor is estimated to be lost in the sea and will never be replied to. ”

Yuan Jiang said: "I also thought about this, just thinking that with my father's handwritten letter, Huang Zu didn't dare to act rashly, so if there is a delay, our side will step up the pace, thinking about it, before they are killed, it is possible to reach Jiangxia." ”

Liu Ye was silent for a while, and suddenly asked, "I don't know if Gongzi has ever thought that if Huang Zu insists on refusing to let go, what will you do?" ”

Yuan Jiang looked embarrassed, "I haven't thought about this for the time being. Raising his head, Yuan Jiang met Liu Ye's smiling eyes, and suddenly he arched his hand and said, "I am dull, please teach me Mr. Ziyang." ”

Liu Ye hurriedly returned the salute, "Childe doesn't have to be polite, there is a plan that can be done in the future, I don't know if Childe is willing to listen." ”

Yuan Jiang said: "Mr. Wangziyang is not stingy to teach. ”

Liu Ye said with a smile: "Actually, if the son wants to go back to Zhou Tai and the others, he doesn't have to do it himself. ”
