After all, Yiran and Yelu were foreigners, and it was inconvenient to stay in Henan for a long time, so they crossed the pontoon bridge and returned to Youyan Road that night. Qiu Yizhi personally sent them across the river, but did not say a word.

Walking back to his tent, Qiu Yizhi couldn't sleep anymore, tossing and turning all night. Early the next morning, he was a little sleepy, and in a hazy mood, a soldier came in to report that His Royal Highness and His Second Highness had arrived close to the Hutuo River.

Yizhi didn't dare to slack off, cheered up, changed clothes and washed up, and went out to greet him.

This vanguard is none other than the third prince Zheng Sen, who was ordered by Zheng Xin to lead 5,000 cavalry to investigate, so that he could retreat calmly. Zheng Sen has half of the Fanhu blood, looks five big and three thick, and his personality is also straightforward and rude, he originally had a little prejudice against Qiu Yizhi, but after a clever battle against Yu Huang, he already admired his righteous brother very much. Therefore, when I saw Yizhi coming out of the tent from a distance, he didn't have the slightest support, and he also turned over and dismounted and walked over.

The two brothers were separated for only a few days, and after a few words of greeting, Qiu Yizhi led Zheng Sen to the river to check the pontoon.

I saw that the water level of the Hutuo River had risen quite high, and the water flow had become very turbulent, washing several pontoon bridges into twists and turns, and the wooden planks and planks were visible, constantly making "squeak" crashing and rubbing sounds. Qiu Yizhi pointed to the big river that was flowing endlessly and said: "This year, the cauliflower flood of the Hutuo River has not been postponed for a day, and it has begun to rain upstream, and the rain will be heavy in a few days, and the pontoon bridge will no longer be able to hold on, and I am afraid that if you want to cross the river, you will have to go around hundreds of miles to the upstream." ”

Zheng Sen saw that the water potential was exactly the same as Qiu Yizhi's introduction, and it seemed that he had raised a few inches as he spoke, and hurriedly greeted his cronies around him, asking him to report to his eldest brother quickly, telling him to come as soon as possible and cross the river as soon as possible.

Zheng Xin received the report and knew that the matter was urgent, so he ordered the army to hurry day and night, and finally rushed to the Hutuo River within one day and one night. Fortunately, the army on the West Road led by Zheng Xin was different from the East Road, there were only a few thousand prisoners in the army, and dozens of Tianzun Sect backbones were also blindfolded and imprisoned in the prisoner car, and the rest were all elite soldiers from Youyan Dao.

So more than 20,000 people ordered the ban and acted resolutely, and it only took half a day to trot all the way through the pontoon bridge and enter the territory of Youyan Road. Only the northern army was not accustomed to water warfare, and quite a few soldiers stood unsteadily on the shaking planks, slipped under their feet and fell into the water, and were immediately rescued by a few water-sensitive companions, which can be regarded as an episode.

Since Zheng Rong took charge of Youyan's army, there has always been a tradition of the commander going to the front line to command the battle, and every time he retreats, he is also the main general. Therefore, after seeing that the army had all withdrawn to Youyan, the three brothers Zheng Xin, Zheng Sen and Qiu Yi calmly packed up the elite soldiers around them, looked back at the Central Plains behind them, and returned to their homeland.

After crossing the Hutuo River, it is the territory of Youyan Dao Bozhou. Everyone originally thought that the ground near Henan in Bozhou would inevitably be full of camps for surrendering troops, but they didn't expect to count and count, and only saw seven or eight large camps, and there were only forty or fifty thousand refugees.

After inquiring, I learned that as soon as more than 100,000 Henan troops entered Youyan, they were successively sent to various states by special personnel, guarded by local officials and soldiers, carefully screened, and then gradually sent to northern Xinjiang to open up land. This disposition was dispatched by Zhongli Kuang in the center, and the general order of the Youyan Wangfu was used, so none of the military and political officials in the states dared to be perfunctory, and in a few days, most of the more than 100,000 troops had been evacuated, and even the 40,000 or 50,000 refugees who were temporarily stranded in Bozhou at present would soon go north one after another.

When the three brothers heard this, they looked at each other, and couldn't help but sigh that this master Zhongli was talented after all, and he had done such a big thing quietly, no wonder his father had always obeyed him.

Several people were talking, but one person came from a distance, it was an acquaintance Zhang Long. This Zhang Long is the head of the guards of King Youyan's cronies, and the military information from all over the world is delivered to Zheng Rong through him, and he is a very important figure in the palace. Although he was in a high position, he was very respectful, and he got off his mount early, and led his horse to the three princes.

Zheng Sen's eyes were sharp, and he saw at a glance that Zhang Long was already wearing a captain, so he smiled and said: "I said Lao Zhang, I haven't seen you for two months, you are already a captain, and if you are promoted to two levels, you will be a lieutenant general, you can call 'General Zhang'!" ”

When Zhang Long heard this, he hurriedly said humbly: "Where, where." Thanks to several highnesses, as well as General Cui and General Wei, who won several battles, the prince was very happy. Villain, I'm just a busy military situation these days, and the prince saw me inside and out, without merit and hard work, so I was rewarded with a promotion to the next level, and I was really ......ashamed to be ashamed."

Zheng Sen listened, haha, and said, "You have it, quickly put away this set of official words." Who doesn't know that the closer the father is, the stricter the requirements, and the same qualifications and merits as you, if you are put outside to manage the army and horses, no matter how bad it is, you will be a general, I don't believe that you don't mutter in your heart! ”

Zheng Sen's words were said in the heart of Zheng Xin, who was standing on the side. This Youyan King opened a government to build a mansion, and the generals of Zhonglang and below can be appointed by themselves, and the generals of the four towns and four expeditions only need to inform the military department once, and they have never refutated. But the 100,000 army of Youyan Dao, in addition to the king of Youyan commanding the overall situation, also the general Cui Nan of the expedition to the north and Wei Hu, the general of the expedition to the east. Several of his sons, all of whom have outstanding military achievements and outstanding political achievements, would have been added to the rank of knight in other places, but under his father Zheng Rong, let alone a knighthood, he did not even have an official position. As the eldest son, Zheng Xin was very puzzled, but he said in a high-sounding manner: "My father naturally has the truth of my father, how can we understand it?" The second brother is talking nonsense here, have you forgotten the way of loyalty and filial piety of the saint? ”

Zheng Sen respected his eldest brother and was second only to his father, and when he heard him say this, he suddenly lost his spirit and shrank aside with a red face.

Seeing that the atmosphere suddenly became embarrassed, Zhang Long smacked his lips and said: "The prince is now in the Yamen of Bozhou Mansion, and sent me to invite your highnesses to go in to discuss matters. After that, he didn't dare to stay for a moment, turned around and got on his horse and walked away.

Qiu Yizhi has always known that Zheng Xin is a humble gentleman whether he is in Guangyang City or in Youyan Palace, and he has never seen him scold others like this, not to mention that it is his own brother who teaches a lesson, so he stepped forward and said: "Since my father-in-law has an order, I can't delay, and ask my eldest brother to take my two brothers to see him!" ”

Zheng Xin listened, glanced at his resourceful brother with an extremely complicated eye, and finally nodded, didn't speak, got on the horse and went to Bozhou Mansion.

Youyan King Zheng Rong is indeed in the Bozhou Mansion.

I saw that the big flagpole in front of the government rose up with a silk thread embroidered with seven five-clawed golden dragons, and a row of big characters was written on it with a row of big characters "Han Youyan King Marshal Zheng", this banner is all over the world, except for Zheng Rong, no second person dares to use it, and it can really be called "under one person, above ten thousand people." ”

The three brothers Zheng Xin, Zheng Sen, and Yi Zhi knew that standing up a big banner was a serious way to handle official business, so how dare they swagger and walk under this banner, so they dismounted and walked early. The guards of the Bozhou Mansion have been taken over by the Youyan Palace, and among the officers and soldiers who are guarding and patrolling around them, they all know these three highnesses, and they hurriedly stepped forward to take the reins and lead them to the stables to feed.

The three brothers tidied up their clothes, respectfully announced their names outside the door, and then entered the palace one by one in the order of eldest and youngest.

The government is really heavily guarded, with three steps and one post, and five steps and one sentry. Most of the soldiers knew these princes, and none of them dared to laugh at this time, and they only greeted each other with a look.

The three of them finally walked to the door of the main hall of the Bozhou Mansion, but at this moment, they saw Yiran running out of the main hall of the mansion quickly, as if they were talking to King Youyan.

Yi Ran was very familiar with them, and there were not so many rules in the palace, so he said very casually: "The prince is waiting for you to go in and discuss it!" Zheng Miao and two generals are also inside, so don't go quickly! With that, he grimaced at Qiu Yizhi, who was walking at the end.

The night before yesterday, I remembered what I said to Qiu Yizhi, which made Qiu Yizhi very uneasy. When I saw Yiran today, I wanted to speak, but I didn't know what to say, and I didn't even have the courage to look at each other. Peeking at her, she seemed to be nothing, as lively as ever, and even a little suspicious that she had really spoken to Yiran that day and night, or if it was just her own hallucination. But at this moment, it was not good to stop Yiran and ask carefully, so he had to clean up his mood and follow the two brothers into the hall to see his father.

I saw that the lobby beam was hung with a plaque of "Mirror Hanging", under the plaque is a huge bookcase, behind the case is a pair of extremely colorful "sea sunrise map", on both sides of the "quiet" and "avoidance" and other wooden signs lined up - it is the regulation of the Han Dynasty government should be furnished.

Youyan King Zheng Rong has the appearance of an emperor and a nobleman, a dragon son and a phoenix grandson, and he is born with a temperament that is not angry and self-authoritative, how can this district government be limited. Today, he wore a purple python robe, a crown on his head, a jade belt around his waist, and a prince's dress, and he looked out of place sitting in the lobby of the yamen of the state capital.

The three brothers also felt strange and awkward when they saw it, but they didn't dare to be presumptuous, so they knelt down together and kowtowed on the blue brick floor three times, knelt up straight, and said loudly: "The child is not good, please say hello to my father here!" ”

Zheng Rong looked in a very good mood, smiling and raising his hand for the three of them to get up and give them a seat. He also sent people to the back hall to send the strategist Zhong Likuang, the generals Cui Nan, Wei Hu and the third son Zheng Miao to the court to discuss matters.

In a moment, a few people came up to the hall and kowtowed without saying a word. The three brothers, who had just sat in the hall for a while, could not sit still, so they quickly got up and stood aside with their hands down. Zheng Ronggao sat in the middle, and also smiled and asked everyone to get up and sit down. After such a toss, everyone finally sat down, but a layer of slippery and greasy stinky sweat oozed from their foreheads.

At this time, Zheng Rongcai, the king of Youyan, said: "All of you here are the king's right-hand men, confidants, or the king's sons, all of whom are the closest people. This king has always been dismissive of these red tapes, as you all know. However, the establishment of rituals by the saints has its own usefulness, and the king's intention is to practice it today. ”

Except for Zhong Li Kuang, who bowed slightly, the rest of the people in the hall were at a loss when they heard this, so they had to make a contemplative expression and listen to King Youyan continue.
