Chapter 295: Running to Yangzhou overnight

When the day dawned and there were people, the boatman hurriedly found a few slender men, and on the Grand Canal, a strong horn sounded again.

Thousands of miles away in Fujian, Wei Guang, the governor of Fujian, was killed by one of his own generals, who took Wei Guang's head and defected to the imperial court's army to conquer the south.

Fang Songding disappeared with the remnants of his old department. Wandering in the deep mountains and old forests somewhere in Fujian.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, He Youan received a secret letter from the emperor 12 days ago.

The emperor's beloved wife, Shi Wanying, had been buried in the fire in Huichang Mountain, and the emperor expressed his despair and sorrow in a secret letter, and told He You'an that when the Fujian traitors were eliminated, the emperor would personally go to the city gate to greet his brother.

He Youan hugged this secret edict and sat on the chair and cried for a long time. He couldn't believe that Wanying, the love of his heart, had died.

However, the coronation edict of the new queen was sent with the envelope, and it was held in yellow paper and red letters.

That night, He Youan had a dream related to Wanying, He Youan dreamed: Wanying was chased and killed by gangsters all the way from Huichang Mountain to the capital, to Zhili, and then to Yangzhou.

Half-awakened from the dream, He Youan sweated profusely and woke up General Cao, who was snoring beside him.

"General Ben wants to go back to Yangzhou City!"

General Cao was woken up by He You'an in a deep sleep, squinting his eyes, and shouted, "Is there a situation?" The rebels have been found? ”

He Youan shook the beads of sweat on his forehead and said again: "I'm going to Yangzhou City." ”

General Cao rubbed his eyes with his hands, and finally saw the current situation clearly, the sky was not yet dawn, and it was quiet all around.

took off his close-fitting vest, touched the beads of sweat on his forehead, sat opposite He You'an, and asked with a puzzled expression: "General, in the middle of the night, why did you suddenly think of going to Yangzhou City?" ”

"I've got to go once, without further ado!"

General Cao didn't understand what was going on, his temper suddenly came up, his hair was also high, and he asked with bare eyebrows: "There are no bandits in Liangjiang now, and Fang Songding is not an idiot, and he can't flee there, Yangzhou City is adjacent to Jinling on the left, and Huai'an is on the top, these two places are fortresses for the imperial court to suppress the formation, isn't it equivalent to him throwing himself into the net when he goes to Yangzhou City?" ”

"I'm not looking for Fang Songding." He Youan couldn't explain the reason in his heart, because he didn't understand why he insisted on going to Yangzhou at this time.

General Cao's rectum is the eldest man, who is the least good at suspicious of other people's minds, threw the soaked vest in his hand on the bed, and asked straightly: "Don't look for Fang Songding, why are you going to Yangzhou?" ”

In the dark blue tent, He Youan's face was so solemn that it was almost frozen, he didn't understand the reason why he wanted to go, but he had to go.

General Cao saw He You'an so sad, and knew that he must have encountered something difficult, and the iron-clad old man, shirtless, was ready to relieve his good brother of relief.

Eighty percent is related to the woman named Shi Wanying. Although General Cao was rude and uninhibited, he also guessed probably.

"Is it the princess's business?" General Cao sat upright for a long time, He Youan was silent, and simply broke the layer of window paper by himself.

He Youan still lowered his head and did not speak, and his wordless breath confirmed General Cao's guess.

Sure enough, it was for that woman, the last time I was in Hangzhou City, an edict for Prince Rong's wedding, He Youan almost fell off the horse, and he was stupid and stupid for a few days, and he searched for a few days in Hangzhou City like crazy, found a glass screen, and found a jasper bead curtain to send to the capital.

The prince got married, and gave something like a glass screen to be expensive and decent, carrying a jasper bead curtain, General Cao guessed that it was related to that woman.

"Or her?" General Cao continued to ask.

He Youan handed the secret letter pressed under the armor to General Cao.

In the dark tent, General Cao couldn't see a word, got up angrily, lit a candle, and placed it next to the two of them.

After reading the secret letter a few times, he asked incredulously, "Dead?" How could he die? ”

He Youan suddenly raised his head, and the lingering fire ignited the hope in his eyes.

"She's not dead, she's in Yangzhou City."

General Cao read the secret letter again, his eyes widened, and asked, "Can the emperor's secret letter be fake?" ”

In fact, in General Cao's heart, he also sighed and muttered: It's okay to die, if she doesn't die, you and the emperor will have an accident for this woman sooner or later!

"She's not dead, she's in Yangzhou."

General Cao put the emperor's secret letter on the couch, stood up and stomped his feet, smacked his mouth, wanted to be mad, endured and endured, changed a tone that was not his style at all, and said embarrassedly: "General, the emperor said that she died, how do you know that she is in Yangzhou?" ”

He Youan said to General Cao seriously: "I dreamed of her, she was hunted down and killed in Yangzhou. ”

General Cao was dumbfounded when he heard this, and he really wanted to shoot himself to death with a brick. However, there were no bricks in the empty tent, and General Cao could only use his palms to keep slapping his forehead.

He seemed to rush over, grabbed his buddy by the collar, and woke him up with his fist or any kind of irascible force! What the hell is this? What a man, how did you meet this woman and become such a ghost! What the hell!

General Cao held back the explosion in his heart, and continued to gently persuade: "General, I dreamed that this is too mysterious, you are not this kind of person!" ”

He Youan was only immersed in the sadness brought by Wan Ying, and he didn't realize that General Cao in front of him was already going back and forth like a monkey burning his butt.

"She's waiting for me to save her, I have to go to Yangzhou City!"

Holy! General Cao's heart is like a galloping horse, roaring past, and the dust is soaring to the sky; It is like a plague of locusts, and there are no grains left, and there are no pieces of armor.

The scarred men were so brave that they just wanted a sheepskin water bag with a small mouth, so they could only explain to He Youan slowly.

"General, it's not that you have to be a brother to stop you, think about it, now that we are in Fujian, the emperor is in the capital, how can she run to Yangzhou City as a dead person? The emperor said that she was dead, why should we go to Yangzhou City? ”

He Youan didn't understand the galloping in General Cao's heart, thinking about Wanying's words in her dream, and said directly: "She told me in her dream, she didn't die, she was in Yangzhou!" ”

General Cao jumped up in a hurry, kicked over the quiver leaning on the side, cracked the mouth of the sheepskin water bag, and shouted at He You'an: "What the hell is this!" It's really evil spirit! ”

He Youan ignored General Cao's irritability, directly put on his armor, and said to General Cao: "You continue to search for the whereabouts of the remnants of the rebels in Fujian, and General Ben is going to Yangzhou City now." ”

General Cao is about to explode on the spot, no matter how he says that he is leaving, there is no room for negotiation!

"General, it's dark, wait for dawn!"

He Youan couldn't explain why he was in a hurry to return to Yangzhou City. But in the dark, he felt that Wanying had encountered an accident somewhere, and then waited for his help.

"I can't wait, I'm going to leave now, you continue to track Fang Songding."

"General, Fuzhou City has been taken back peacefully, didn't the general say that he would capture Fang Songding alive?"

"Now I can't care so much, so I asked a dozen brothers with better skills to go back to Yangzhou City with me."

"General, a dozen brothers, is it enough?"

"This general has the emperor's tiger talisman in his hand, and he can command the soldiers and horses of the world, if you want to use people, you can borrow troops directly from the local officials!"

"Forget it, anyway, Fujian has been recovered, so I'll accompany you to Yangzhou City."

General Cao is also a righteous man, and he knows that he can't persuade his brother, so he can only sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman.

"Don't go, capture Fang Songding alive, it was originally used for you to be a marquis."

General Cao, a seven-foot man, was almost moved to tears.

"What is the marquis or not, I am not rare, someone is chasing and killing her, it must be not small, I don't worry if you go alone, my brother will go with you, and there will be a care."

"Don't go, stay in Fujian and capture Fang Songding alive!"

"Why are you so grinding today, I have said it, I don't care if I am a marquis or not, I am happy and happy for my brothers when I live, what monkey master, chicken master, bird master I am not rare at all."

He You'an's cold face finally oozed a touch of warm sun, and he said to General Cao: "Without further ado, let's go!" ”

A group of more than a dozen people, quickly whipped, from Fujian to Yangzhou City, ran for four days and four nights, when they arrived at Yangzhou City, more than a dozen people rushed directly to the Yangzhou prefect's yamen.

Or the previous doorman, just looking at the door of the dozen sweat and blood BMWs, you know that the people who come are not rich or expensive, and then look at the card, frightened to take a few steps back, trembling to invite the prefect of Yangzhou.

He Youan also had no intention of entering the yamen, sitting in the gatehouse, waiting for the Yangzhou prefect to run over in sweat.

"I don't know that the general Wang came to Yangzhou, it's really a long way to welcome."

General Cao had already poured a pot of iced tea, and seeing that the prefect of Yangzhou was speaking very entangled, he directly pointed out the purpose of this trip, "Go, get 3,000 soldiers to come first!" ”

As soon as the prefect of Yangzhou saw General Cao's general uniform, he knew that he was a general of the third grade, and said with a smile: "Three thousand soldiers will be dispatched to their posts, but there must be a name, and privately transferring soldiers is also a crime of killing the head!" ”

He Youan took out the shiny tiger talisman from his arms and threw it directly on the table.

General Cao threw the teapot in his hand directly onto the table and shouted: "We mobilize your three thousand soldiers in Yangzhou City, and we have to report to you?" It's really funny! The eight lambs in the canal dare to stare at the dragon king? ”

Seeing that General Cao was furious, the prefect of Yangzhou hurriedly explained with a smile: "No, no, no, the general misunderstood what I meant, I am the prefect and do not have the right to directly mobilize soldiers, and I have to discuss it with my colleagues, the Yangzhou garrison, there is no reason, and we are not good at discussing." ”

He Youan's anxiety along the way was only understood by General Cao, and seeing that the prefect of Yangzhou could not dispatch troops, General Cao said impatiently: "Go and go, hurry up and call the garrison of your Yangzhou City." General Ben told him personally. ”
