The general is going back to Nanjing

Zhai Zhe did not move, and there were rumors in Nanjing first.

The Spring Festival has passed, and Xiangyang City is still as solid as a rock. Zhai Zhe didn't want to wait any longer, the time had come, and it was impossible for him to let Chen Zilong be in charge of Jiangnan for too long.

In front of the Yicheng Mansion, a sturdy young man wearing a long robe walked quickly.

Fang Jin stood at the door and looked around, and when he saw someone coming, he immediately took a few steps to greet him, and whispered, "Sect leader."

Zong Mao waved his hand and said modestly: "Don't greet me like this"

Fang Jin smiled shyly, Zong Mao was much older than him, among those of them who went down to the south of the Yangtze River from the north, Zong Mao was a well-deserved head of the Great General's Mansion. Zong Mao was grounded for a year, and from before Chinese New Year's Eve to Huguang, he seemed to have regained his former status in ten days.

"The Great General is waiting for you"

Zong Mao nodded, followed Fang Jin and walked into the mansion. Both of them were very fast, just like his mentality of being anxious to regain power. The small government of Yicheng is heavily guarded, with three steps and one sentry, and five steps and one post. The two walked through a courtyard with a radius of about seven or eight feet, Fang Jin pointed to a hidden red lacquer gate, and said, "The general is inside."

"Thank you," Zong Mao's voice was small. Even if he was the head of the General's Mansion, he didn't dare to be arrogant and rude.

He stood in the doorway and straightened his clothes a little, then gently pushed open the door and walked in.

The wooden door was silent, and an icy wind swirled in.

Zong Mao tiptoed to close the door and arched his hand: "General"

"You're here," Zhai Zhe raised his head.

Zong Mao was dressed in a long shirt, but it was difficult to hide the muscular outline under the cotton clothes, comparable to the strong soldiers in the army. After a year of self-cultivation, Zong Mao is a little fatter than last year, and his cheeks on both sides are half bulging. The life of Ningbo Mansion is comfortable, not as tiring as the General's Mansion, in addition to reading books every day, he is fishing at the beach, and his life is very regular, and it is strange that he does not grow meat.

"Great General" Zongmao repeated the previous title.

"I will return to Nanjing the day after tomorrow, so you will stay in Huguang and coordinate with Yao Qisheng and Lord Du to supply grain and grass in the army

"Obedience"

Zong Mao flashed a hint of surprise, when he received the order summoned by Zhai Zhe, he didn't even need a fishing rod, and rushed home. After more than ten days of worrying about Huguang, the big stone in my heart finally fell to the ground at this moment. He is coordinating Yao Qisheng and Du Yinxi to supply the army with grain and grass, not assisting, and his status is not inferior to these two

Zhai Zhe pondered, and was considering whether to ask Zong Mao a few more words. Zong Mao raised his head first and asked softly: "General, you really want to go back to Nanjing."

"Not bad"

Zong Mao went down again and didn't say anything more. The Zhang Mingzhen incident still affected his way of doing things to a greater or lesser extent. Before that, he was happy in front of Zhai Zhe, but the punishment of a one-year ban made him understand more of the road. Zhai Zhe's goal has been achieved, but it is not all good.

Before the general returned to Jiangnan, the head of the sect was re-in charge, and he was no longer in charge of the general, and seventy or eighty percent of the officials in the general's mansion were single-handedly pulled up by him.

Every message from Huguang was transmitted to Jiangnan as quickly as possible.

As soon as the Lantern Festival passed, Wen Linzhu led 20 ships of the naval division, and 3,000 soldiers and guards of the general returned to Nanjing down the river, accompanied only by Bao Guang and Liu Suifeng.

The messenger first delivered the news to the city of Nanjing, and the general's trip was very low-key, passing through the state capitals along the way, only allowing the sergeants on the ship to receive some supplies, and he never got off the ship.

The vast army of Hu did not move, and Zuo Ruo served as the commander-in-chief of the soldiers and horses, and Zong Mao managed the logistics. Zong Mao actually has a hidden identity - to replace the general as the supervisor of the Huguang army.

Zhai Zhe has been hiding in the cabin, and unlike the scenery he saw on the previous two voyages in the river, there are bare barren mountains on both sides. The cold north blew over the roof of the cabin, like a thousand horses flying by. Liu Suifeng sat opposite him, and the black and white chess pieces on the desk were distinct.

"This is the third game you've lost," Zhai Zhe laughed.

Liu smiled with the wind: "I am no longer the general's opponent, I can only eliminate the loneliness on the way for the general"

"When I return to Jiangnan this time, I must find Chen Wozi to play a few games" Zhai Zhe said in an unconvinced tone while cleaning up the chessboard. He looks like a general, almost like a young man who is angry.

"The general's chess skills are advancing day by day, in my opinion, Chen Wozi is not the enemy of the general now" Liu Suifeng flattered.

After Zong Mao was punished, in the eyes of outsiders, he seemed to be the closest person to Zhai Zhe. In particular, his contribution to the establishment of the Huguang battlefield is no longer the second choice among the general's staff.

Zhai Zhe shook his head and said, "Chen Wozi's chess skills...", he continued to shake his head and said no more. The implication is that he is not his opponent yet.

Chen Zilong's opponent was not him, but the one sitting across from him. Liu Suifeng's heart is like a mirror, Zhai Zhe took him back to Jiangnan this time, leaving Zong Mao in Huguang, which will establish his position as the first person in the staff of the General's Mansion.

Often wins and does not lose, Zhai Zhe is unwilling to play against Liu Suifeng anymore, so he puts away the chessboard and chess pieces. All the rounds have been laid out, and it depends on whether the prey will jump into the trap on its own.

Nanjing City.

The joy of Chinese New Year's Eve still has a little tail left, and the red lanterns under the eaves of rich families have not yet been removed. These days, the north wind is raging, and the streets are sparsely populated.

Today, Emperor Longwu held a banquet in the palace to entertain the cabinet scholars, and also used two general soldiers in Beijing. Xiao Zhiyan wondered, the emperor rarely made such a move, and since the emperor had this plan, why didn't he put it before the Lantern Festival, and after the atmosphere of the Spring Festival had passed?

At the formal banquet, several cabinet scholars sat close to the emperor, and Xiao Zhiyan and Zheng Sen could only accompany the last seat.

There was not much joy at the banquet, and Emperor Longwu's congratulatory speech was listless, Ma Shiying and the others were obviously anxious, restless. Only Zheng Sen, as usual, toasted in turn, and his every movement was like a stonemason carving a sculpture.

Xiao Zhiyan leaned back in his chair and felt that something was wrong.

After three rounds of drinking, Ma Shiying raised his wine glass, came out of the column to respectfully to the emperor, and said: "The general is coming back, congratulations to the Ming Dynasty on recovering Huguang, and driving away the Qing captives is just around the corner." ”

He raised the wine glass above his head, but his eyes stole Xiao Zhiyan on the right side.

"There is still a Xiangyang left" Emperor Longwu's voice was quiet, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or regretful.

Xiao Zhiyan's face was slightly surprised, is Zhai Zhe coming back? How did he not know? Why not before the Spring Festival, after the Lantern Festival.

The banquet hall was very bright, and Ma Shiying looked at his watch. A group of people in Nanjing City are calculating one person, and Xiao Zhiyan has always been very slow about the affairs of the imperial court, which is a hidden danger buried by Zhai Zhe.
