At this time, more than 20 large ships led by Mai Mengcai had sailed through Shanyang City, and more than 30 warships were moored on the river in front.

The guard general is called Chen Jishan, and he is also a tiger general, at this time he stood on the big boat, nervously watching the hundreds of warships of the Qingzhou army that appeared in the north, he knew that there was a riot on the side of the camp, at this time the Qingzhou army appeared, is it to attack in a big way?

A soldier rushed over, pointed to the back and reported to Chen Jishanyu: "General, there are also more than 20 warships coming behind, it seems to be General Mai's ship, he asks the general to give way." ”

Chen Jishan was stunned for a moment, he looked at the hundreds of warships of the Qingzhou Army not far away, he suddenly understood a little, the Qingzhou Army warships may have come to meet Mai Mengcai, he groaned, and then ordered: "Get out of the way, let them pass!" ”

Several big ships left, making way for a waterway, more than 20 big ships passed through the waterway, sailed out of the control zone of the Xiaoguo army, and sailed towards hundreds of Qingzhou army warships in front, Zhang Xuan stood on the bow of the first big ship with his hand, he had been waiting for the Empress Dowager Xiao for a long time.

The two boats approached, and some soldiers set up an activity channel with handrails between the two boats, and several palace maids carefully helped Xiao Hou onto the big boat, Zhang Xuan led a group of civil and military officials to kneel down, "Minister Zhang Xuan is late to save the driver, the crime deserves death, please surrender the queen mother!" ”

Empress Xiao sighed secretly in her heart, she had to rely on Zhang Xuan's grace for the rest of her life, and it was too late to appease, how could she be guilty, she held her hands in vain, and wept: "If it weren't for the general leading the army to come, the mourning family would have died at the hands of that traitor, and the mourning family has only gratitude to the general in their hearts." General, please get up! ”

"Empress Dowager Xie!"

Zhang Xuan stood up and said: "Please rest assured, the queen mother will definitely catch the traitor, show the snow for the Son of Heaven, and let the Son of Heaven look down under the Nine Springs." ”

Empress Xiao nodded, "It is worthy of being a person valued by the first emperor, and everything is entrusted to the general." ”

"Wechen will not disappoint the Queen Mother. It is late at night, the queen mother must be tired, the minister has prepared a sleeping boat, please rest in peace for the queen mother, and the minister will come to see the queen mother another day. ”

"Thank you, General, the mourning family is indeed a little tired."

Empress Xiao was about to leave, when she suddenly remembered something, but hesitated, not knowing whether to say it or not.

Zhang Xuan saw that Empress Xiao had something to say. hurriedly said: "What else does the Queen Mother want, even if you tell Weichen, Weichen will try his best to share the worries of the Queen Mother." ”

Empress Xiao did have something to ask Zhang Xuan, but she felt that it was difficult to speak, so let's talk about it later!

She was about to say that it was okay, but Yang Ji'er next to her was straightforward and said with a smile: "My queen mother wants to ask the general to rescue those poor palace people." ”

Empress Xiao's thoughts were told by her daughter, and her face was hot. hurriedly reprimanded: "Jill Hugh wants to embarrass the general!" ”

Zhang Xuan smiled and nodded to Yang Ji'er, then bowed to Empress Xiao and said, "The Queen Mother has mercy on the harem." How dare Weichen not be perfected, please rest assured that the Queen Mother will let Yu Culture and release people! ”

"Then thank you, General."

Empress Xiao put down her heart, and then took her daughter and the palace maid to a big boat behind, Yang Jier kept looking back at Zhang Xuan, her pretty eyes were full of joy and hope.

Wait for Empress Xiao and the others to get on the big boat behind. Mai Mengcai and the others stepped forward and knelt down on one knee, "See His Royal Highness King Qi for his humble duties!" ”

Zhang Xuan hurriedly helped everyone up, praised them for rescuing the Queen Mother and hundreds of officials, and said that he would continue to reuse them, and Mai Mengcai and others were overjoyed. They have expressed their willingness to serve the dogs and horses to exterminate the world's thieves.

At this time, the two big ships slowly approached, Zhang Xuan saw Su Wei and Pei Ju and others on the boat, he greeted them with a smile, and said from afar: "Zhang Xuan came one step late, so that the two old ministers were wronged!" ”

The day gradually dawned, Sima Deji's subordinates were all killed, and the thirteen members who were preparing to assassinate Yu Wenhe were also killed, and only six were arrested.

Yu Wenhua slapped him twice, and said angrily: "I treat you well, but you want to kill me, is this your way to repay your kindness?" ”

Sima Dejiao spat bloody spit on his face, "Even you should be killed in Jiangdu!" ”

Yu Wenhua was furious, pulled out his sword and stabbed Sima Dejian in the heart, "Go die!" ”

Sima Dejiao was killed immediately, Yu Wenhua and his remaining anger did not subside, and he killed Pei Qiantong, Zhao Xingshu and other six people one by one, and then the sword was still on the ground, and he said hatefully: "Cut off all their heads, and pass on the three armies, I want to see who else dares to stab me!" ”

At this time, Yuwen Zhiji walked up and said in a low voice: "Big brother, that old witch and hundreds of civil and military officials have been robbed by Mai Mengcai and others, I'm afraid Zhang Xuan will have to add conditions." ”

There was an assassination, Yu Wenhua also knew that the soldiers of the three armies were about to be unbearable, and if they didn't leave, it was likely that there would be a mutiny, at this time he was also anxious, and he wanted to return to the Central Plains, so he ordered: "Let Cui Zhao come to see me!" ”

Cui Zhao and Yu Wenshi, Niu Fangyu, Xu Hongren and other ministers who supported Yu Wenhe lived in Shanyang County, not on the boat, and thus escaped, Cui Zhao heard that Yu Wenhua and looked for himself again, he knew that Yu Wenhua and was ready to make peace, he hurriedly came to the outside of the city, bowed and saluted, "See Your Highness." ”

Yu Wenhua said with a cold face: "You go one more time and tell Zhang Xuan that I can agree to his conditions and let him let me go north immediately." ”

Cui Zhao knew that the Queen Mother and Baiguan had been rescued, and he sighed in his heart, so he had to take a boat to the Qingzhou military camp again.

Although Yu Wenhua was also very worried that Zhang Xuan would ask for a price again, the final result was unexpected by Yu Wenhua, Zhang Xuan did not ask for a sky-high price, but only added a condition on the basis of the original condition, requiring Yu Wenhua to release all the palace people and harem concubines back.

This condition made Yu Wenhua feel relieved, he wanted to treat more than a thousand palace maids to the three armies, but it was not a big loss to hand over to Zhang Xuan, and he was a little tired of dozens of concubines, leaving only the three most beloved concubines, and the other concubines and palace people were all handed over to the Qingzhou army.

On the ninth day of the confrontation, Zhang Xuan and Yu Wenhua finally reached an agreement, Zhang Xuan agreed to let Xiaoguo's army go north, and Yu Wenhua handed over a lot of wealth and resources, including all the ships, leaving only ten ferries for Yu Wenhua and crossing the Huai River.

Two days later, all the horses, armor, ships, treasures, books, palace people, etc. were delivered, and the Qingzhou army immediately withdrew from the Huai River, retreated eastward and retreated back to Donghai County, Yu Wenhua and this led tens of thousands of Xiaoguo troops to cross the Huai River, with the last ten big ships filled with gold and jewelry, and the army marched to Xuzhou.

Zhang Xuan ordered Wei Chi Gong and Li Jing and Fang Xuanling to lead the army and the fleet to slow down, he was anxious, and Pei Xingyan led 10,000 cavalry to gallop in the direction of Wei County
