Almost at the same time that Chu Haoyu got the Qi'an civil change, Shen Lan, the governor of Jiangnan Province, also got the news, his face immediately turned cold, and he thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Quickly invite General Yao, Han Changshi, and Zheng Taishou to come to discuss the matter, and invite Mr. Meng to come over." ”

Meng Yifan, Shen Lan's confidant and strategist, quickly walked into the study and bowed to Shen Lan: "I've seen the Grand Duke." ”

Looking at Meng Yifan, Shen Lan didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "Yang Gongling, the governor of Huainan Province, committed suicide in fear of crime, and he commanded Zhang Baiyang to disappear, and there was a large-scale civil uprising in Qi'an County. ”

Even though he knew that Shen Lan didn't dare to deceive himself about this kind of thing, Meng Yifan still let out an exclamation and stared straight at Shen Lan, his face full of disbelief. Under Meng Yifan's gaze, Shen Lan nodded and said in a deep voice: "This is the news that the Governor of Pontus just got, and it is urgent from Huainan Dao, asking us to be on guard immediately." ”

After taking the note and quickly scanning his eyes, Meng Yifan had calmed down, thought for a moment and opened his mouth to ask, "The Metropolitan Governor is preparing to send troops to Huainan?" ”

Shen Lan said in a deep voice: "Now, the governor of Huainan Province has cut himself off, and the commander is nowhere to be found, it can be said that the dragons have no leader, and the people of Qi'an have changed and must be suppressed immediately, how can the governor of this capital sit idly by?" ”

Meng Yifan immediately said: "Metropolitan Governor, seeing that the momentum of Qi Anmin is not trivial, according to Meng someone's guess, I am afraid that someone is deliberately causing chaos, and a large army must be used to quell the rebellion." Although the governor of the capital is powerful and powerful, if he transfers a large army into Huainan without going through the imperial court, this is a big taboo? In addition, if you want to quell the rebellion, you must use the Shenji Captain of the Runzhou Battalion, and the Shenji Captain is not something that you can mobilize as a governor. ”

Shen Lan knew that what Meng Yifan said was the truth, and he also understood that he was for his own good, but he shook his head and said: "The military situation is urgent, so I can't take care of it so much, and today's saint is Mingjun, and he can understand the sincerity of the governor of Bendu." ”

Meng Yifan didn't have an interface, his eyes suddenly lit up after thinking for a moment, and he said, "Dudu, we forgot one master, the seventh prince." Seeing that the Metropolitan Governor Shen Lan frowned slightly, Meng Yifan continued: "Metropolitan Governor, that lord sent Jiangnan and Huainan to the two provinces on behalf of the Holy Lord, but such a big thing happened, it is impossible to ignore it, and besides, the Seventh Prince is in charge of the Chu family Tianwei, and I am afraid that the news is more well-informed than us." ”

Shen Lan didn't answer immediately, he thought for a moment before he opened his mouth and said: "Brother Meng also knows that the saint has transferred his official to Jiangnan, so the rich world in Jiangnan must be controlled in his hands, and because of the Qian family, but the saint didn't expect that Old Man Qian would last for so many years. Now that the old man Qian is critically ill, the saint ordered the seven princes to inspect Jiangnan and Huainan provinces, just to lay out the Qian family, but Huainan Province happened at this moment, and the official thought it was not accidental. ”

Although Meng Yifan is a great talent, he is just a strategist, and he is not as good as Shen Lan, the great governor, nodded but asked: "What does the governor mean, the seventh prince still wants to come to Jiangnan Dao?" ”

Shen Lan shook his head and said, "With the temperament of the Seventh Prince, even if he knows that this is a conspiracy, he will go to Qi'an County, and he will never let the civil rebellion spread, and he will definitely lead the army to quell the rebellion in person." ”

Meng Yifan nodded again, and said: "The Seventh Prince has been away from Beijing for six days, and he should have arrived in Pengcheng when he calculated the time." There is a brigade of soldiers and horses in the Pengcheng battalion, but Meng thought that the Seventh Prince still had to transfer the army of the Divine Captain, one is the Divine Captain is one of the most elite divisions in the world, and the other is not far from Qi'an. Governor, Meng thought that you could send someone to the Runjiang camp to meet General Zhang, if he received the order of the Seventh Prince, everything is good to say, otherwise he would appeal to reason, and ask General Zhang to send troops to quell the rebellion, according to Meng's guess, Huainan Dao will definitely go to General Zhang to ask him to send troops. In addition, according to the imperial court calendar, the governor of the capital can dispatch 3,000 soldiers and horses, and the governor can first order General Yao to lead 3,000 elites to Qi'an. ”

Shen Lan also thought the same way in his heart, but he was more worried, and after thinking for a moment, he opened his mouth and said: "Just like Brother Meng said, only this time, I have to bother Brother Meng to go to the Runjiang camp." When the minister arrived, the governor of Pontus was going to Huizhou, and the old man Qian was critically ill, and the governor of Pontus should visit. ”

Meng Yifan heard the meaning of Shen Lan's words, and saw that his face was quite heavy, and he also sighed in his heart, but his expression did not change in the slightest, and he opened his mouth and said: "The metropolitan governor is polite, Meng will go to Runzhou." ”

Just as the two were talking, Jiangnan Province commander Yao Fangjie, Changshi Han Bocai, and Pingjiang Taishou Zheng Yu arrived one after another, and the three of them had already learned the reason on the way here, and their faces were a little heavy.

Looking at the three of them, Shen Lan opened his mouth and said: "You all know that there was a civil uprising in Qi'an, Huainan Province, but Yang Dudu was self-defeating, and Commander Zhang was nowhere to be found. ”

Hearing Shen Lan be so direct, although Yao Fangjie and the others had already guessed, they were still a little surprised, after all, the world was peaceful, and the mobilization of the army was a big deal. After thinking about it for a while, Changshi Han Bocai said with a heavy thought: "Governor, there is a civil uprising in Huainan Road, we can't sit idly by, and we can also understand the heart of the governor, but it is taboo to transfer troops without going through the imperial court, and according to the imperial court calendar, the governor can only mobilize 3,000 soldiers and horses, but looking at the momentum of the Anmin uprising, 3,000 soldiers and horses are afraid that it is slightly insufficient." Therefore, the lower officials thought that the governor could write to the imperial court at the same time, and at the same time go to the Runjiang camp, General Zhang, the captain of the gods, is a generation of famous generals, and he wants to make a decision. ”

When Shen Lan's words fell, Yao Fangjie, the commander of the capital, said: "Governor, I thought that there could be no delay, my Jiangnan guards are strong and well-trained, with 3,000 soldiers and horses, even if they can't quell the rebellion, it is enough to deter the younger people and prevent the situation from expanding." Therefore, Ben begged to send troops to Qi'an. At the end of the words, Yao Fangjie even hugged his fists and saluted Shen Lan.

Looking at Yao Fangjie, Shen Lan opened his mouth and said: "Six days ago, the Holy Lord ordered the Seventh Prince to go out of Beijing to inspect Jiangnan and Huainan, and there was a civil uprising in Qi'an, and the Seventh Prince would definitely not sit idly by. General Yao, you immediately order all your troops and horses to rush to Huainan and wait for the dispatch of the Seventh Prince. ”

Hearing that there was a battle, and that the coach was still the Seventh Prince, Yao Fangjie had an unconcealable excitement on his face, and bowed down and said, "Get the order." ”

Chong Yao Fang nodded, but Shen Lan's gaze fell on Changshi Han Bocai and Pingjiang Taishou Zheng Yu, and opened his mouth and said: "Huainan people change, I am afraid that the Seventh Prince will go straight to Qi'an, but according to the speculation of the governor of Bendu, there will also be envoys to my Jiangnan Province, Han Changshi and Zheng Taishou You two should prepare early, and at the same time summon the Zhuzhou County of Jiangnan Province, you must be careful not to give birth to right and wrong, otherwise, you will be severely punished." ”

Everyone is an important minister of the imperial court, and they can't know the consequences of the civil uprising, so they bowed without hesitation: "The lower officials have orders." ”

In the early morning, when the sky was not shining, the silence of the night was broken by the sound of horses' hooves, and when they heard the sound of horses' hooves, the blood guards immediately became vigilant and stared coldly at the army emerging from the darkness. This time out of Beijing, Chu Haoyu only brought five hundred blood guards with him, Zhou Chu went to Huizhou to take two hundred, Li Huairen went to Jiangdu and took another hundred, and one hundred guards escorted Princess Chen Fangfei and the little county lord Chu Ruotong to Jiangnan Province, and now Chu Haoyu only has more than 100 guards on his side, how can he be careless. Fortunately, when the distance was twenty zhang, when the general waved his hand, thousands of troops stopped at the same time, and a different color flashed in Chu Haoyu's eyes, which was able to order a ban, and Liu Jizhong put a lot of effort into it.

The person who came was Liu Jizhong, who walked in front of Chu Haoyu, Liu Jizhong turned over and dismounted and knelt down and said, "The last general Liu Jizhong was ordered to come and report." ”

Looking at Liu Jizhong, Chu Haoyu opened his mouth and said, "General Liu has a degree of governing the army!" ”

Hearing Chu Haoyu say this, Liu Ji was happy in the center, he had been training the army for several years, just to be recognized by the imperial court one day, and now that he was seen by the Seventh Prince, how could he not be happy? But after all, he has been a general who has been in charge of the army for many years, but he is happy in his heart, but there is no smugness on his face, but he replied respectfully: "Leading the troops strictly, General Cheng's teachings, the last general has always kept in mind and dare not have any slackness, but more than half of the 3,000 troops are recruits who have not seen blood, and they still lack the blood of soldiers." At the end of the words, a light flashed in Li Jizhong's eyes, which looked cold and bloody. Soldiers, is to rely on the battlefield to kill the enemy to earn military merits, now to be able to follow the Seven Princes to fight on the battlefield, Li Jizhong has an unconcealed excitement, not to mention that if today's leveling, this military merit will be even more precious.

Chu Haoyu saw the light in Liu Jizhong's eyes, and guessed what he was thinking, but there was an indescribable sigh in his heart, this battle was something Chu Haoyu was unwilling to fight. Shaking his head, Chu Haoyu instantly threw out all his emotions and said in a deep voice: "Let's go, Qi An." ”

Seeing Chu Haoyu turn over and get on the horse, Liu Jizhong bowed in a deep voice: "The last general will be ordered!" After bowing again, Liu Jizhong stood up, turned over and shouted, "Let's go." ”

When Liu Jizhong's words fell, the three thousand army immediately moved, and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves rolled up the momentum of shaking the ground and mountains, and Liu Jizhong, who was watching, showed a look of pride on his face. These 3,000 troops are the elite of the Pengcheng battalion, and he has worked hard over the years, and even personally trained these soldiers, many of whom are veterans of the First Battle of Mobei, and several generals are from the old brothers of Shenwu Lieutenant, and he is confident that he will make contributions in this battle.

Listening to the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, especially feeling the full fighting spirit of the army, Chu Haoyu suddenly gave birth to a familiar feeling, as if he had returned to the days of galloping on the battlefield, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was reminiscing about something. Soon, Chu Haoyu came back to his senses, lightly pinched the horse's belly and jumped out, seeing this, the blood guard immediately followed, and Liu Jizhong also hit the horse and followed Chu Haoyu's side.

In the sound of the horse's hooves, Chu Haoyu suddenly opened his mouth and asked, "General Liu, you have been guarding Pengcheng for many years and are familiar with the terrain of Huainan, how to walk best?" ”

Chu Haoyu once led the army to crisscross the desert, and he couldn't understand the importance of the marching route, and he had come up with a route after pondering the map for a long time last night, but he finally felt shallow on paper, and wanted to consult Liu Jizhong, and he no longer had the mind of Liu Jizhong to take the exam.

Since learning that there was a large-scale civil uprising in Qi'an, Liu Jizhong was thinking about how to march, and he already had a draft in his heart, and he replied without a trace of hesitation when he heard Chu Haoyu ask: "Back to the prince, there is a lot of water in the south of the Yangtze River, which is not conducive to cycling, so the general thinks that he can go west to Bozhou first, and then go south along the official road all the way to Qi'an County, and most of the counties in Lingnan Road take this road to Beijing." All the way to the fast horse, fast ten days, slow half a month is enough to reach Qi'an. ”

Chu Haoyu thought about it for a long time, and also chose this line, so he nodded and said, "According to what General Liu said, go to Bozhou first." Sun Hou, you lead people first, and order the states and counties along the way to prepare grain and grass, without delay. ”

After running around for a day and night, Sun Hou did not have any fatigue, and immediately replied: "The little one has an order." ”

Seeing Sun Hou leaving, Chu Haoyu said to Liu Jizhong again: "General Liu has been in the army for a long time, and this way will be arranged by General Liu." ”

Liu Jizhong immediately clasped his fists and saluted, saying, "The last general will be ordered!" ”
