Chapter 465: Arriving in Huai'an
Lu Zheng got Ji Miaoshan's approval and had a good night's sleep.
The next morning, after everyone had cleaned up, they continued on their way.
The return trip is always faster than when I came, so this time I went back a day earlier than when I came in.
After resting at the inn where they had stayed before, everyone took a bath happily, ate a hot and fresh meal, and set off for the two places the next day.
After coming back, Ji Miaoshan talked to Hu Laohan.
Lu Zheng didn't ask what the two talked about, but he was relieved when he heard Ji Miaoshan say that Hu Laohan would definitely keep the secret for them.
Although they have known each other for a short time, Lu Zheng and Ji Miaoshan think the same, they both think that Hu Laohan is not a traitorous rat, as long as he promises to keep secrets, he will definitely do it.
The next day, the sky was slightly bright, Lu Zheng rushed to Huai'an with a secret guard, and Ji Miaoshan rushed back to Yejing with the remaining three bright secret guards.
Lu Zheng took a secret guard and hurried away, and finally successfully converged the night before Lu Wen and the others arrived at the Huai'an realm.
Lu Wen saw the tiredness on Lu Zheng's face and the dark guard's face, so he didn't say a word, only asked someone to prepare hot water and food, saying that "Lu Zheng" woke up and wanted to eat.
General Lu, who had been in a coma for many days, finally woke up, and everyone in the army breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, I woke up when I was close to the boundary of Huai'an, and it was quite timely.
Lu Zheng woke up, and after the military doctor came to check the pulse, he said that most of his body had recovered, and he would be able to recover after a few days of recuperation.
Although Lu Zheng's illness came turbulently, and it was said that it was good and good suddenly, the people below still didn't say anything.
They are all soldiers, unlike those officials in the DPRK and China, most of them still take obedience to military orders as the criterion, and they will listen to what the upper peak says, this is their duty.
Lu Zheng is fine, and Lu Wen no longer slows down the march, and directly orders the army to accelerate into Huai'an early tomorrow morning.
The next morning, the army marched out and marched to Huai'an with all its might, staying in the carriage for most of the way, and General Lu, who was "unconscious" in the last few days, rode on a war horse, heroic and vigorous.
Seeing this, the five thousand soldiers put their hearts back into their stomachs.
When the coach is well, the morale of the army can be stable.
Another day later, the army entered Huai'an, and Feng Yushan, the prefect of Huai'an, led Huai'an officials to meet each other.
Before coming, Lu Zheng had already received news from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that this Feng Yushan was a student of Wang Depu and had a deep relationship, so he could not be trusted.
Lu Zheng was born cold-faced, and with a murderous aura on the battlefield, he did not mince words to the local officials in Huai'an led by Feng Yushan.
Feng Yushan secretly hated Lu Zheng for not giving him face, but on the surface, he looked like he had seen a savior.
"General Lu, you are here, if you don't come, this Huai'an will be ruined by those people!" In the prefect's yamen, Feng Yushan was crying to Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng did see some shops that were smashed and looted along the way, but he was not in a hurry to draw conclusions.
Wen Tao told him that Huai'an seems to have suffered a disaster this year, and the harvest is not abundant, in this case, it is not impossible to have a riot, but the riot that is too big for the Huai'an prefect to suppress is too serious, right?
Lu Zheng was suspicious of this, and knew that Feng Yushan was Wang Depu's person, so he was not in a hurry to draw conclusions.
Feng Yushan saw that he had been talking for a long time, and Lu Zheng didn't say anything, and his face couldn't help but be a little ugly.
Originally, he thought that it would be His Royal Highness the Great Prince, or an official from their faction, but he never expected that Lu Zheng would be sent down in the end.
The teacher repeatedly instructed him in the letter, telling him to be careful of Lu Zheng.
This is a bloody weapon on the battlefield, which is different from those officials who can only fight with words.
If you are a little careless and arrange it improperly, you will steal chickens and rice.
Wen Tao's news is right, Huai'an has indeed suffered a disaster this year, and the harvest is very unsatisfactory.
But this calamity is not a natural disaster, but a man-made one.
Moreover, the main responsibility is still in Feng Yushan, so Feng Yushan did not dare to report, saying that the place under his jurisdiction had suffered a disaster, and after thinking about it, a letter went to the capital, and he got the help of the teacher Wang Shangshu and reported a riot.
Originally, he thought that the teacher could give such an idea, and he should be able to arrange manpower.
Who would have thought that it would cause him such a big trouble.
As soon as he thought that in addition to finding someone to pretend to be a riot and uprising, he also had to suppress the victims and prevent them from rushing to Lu Zheng, so he was blocked in his heart, and he also complained a little about Wang Depu.
However, the matter has come to this, he is tied to the ship of the eldest prince and his faction, and he can only try his best to deal with Lu Zheng.
Anyway, he also arranged it, on the one hand, to find someone to pretend to be a bandit in the mountains to rebel and attract Lu Zheng's attention, and on the other hand, to strictly control the group of Diao people and not allow them to be on the table.
It's really not good, he doesn't mind getting some more blood on his hands, anyway, one is also killing, two three, ten eight, or even hundreds, what's the difference?
Anyway, it's just a bunch of untouchables, who dares to call the shots for them?
As soon as Lu Zheng leaves, he is the head of this Huai'an realm, and whoever dares to resist will be suppressed by force.
No matter how bad it is, there is still the eldest prince and Wang Shangshu above, what is he afraid of!
Feng Yushan wanted to lead Lu Zheng to the mountains to "suppress bandits", but he couldn't help but say that his situation was more pitiful and difficult, and that those "bandits" were even more inhumane.
Lu Zheng listened to it for a long time, leaving only one sentence, knowing it, he had his own arrangements, so he let Feng Yushan leave.
Feng Yushan choked in his throat when he boarded, and he almost didn't go to his back!
This is his prefect's yamen, Lu Zheng told him to go by himself, where can he go by himself!
But the situation was pressing, no matter how dissatisfied Feng Yushan was, he didn't dare to follow Lu Zheng, who had a heavy army in his hand and received the emperor's order, so he had to suppress his anger, give up his yamen to others, and leave with people in a gloomy manner.
took Feng Yushan away, and Lu Zheng summoned Lu Wen to discuss the matter.
"What do you think?" Lu Zheng asked.
Lu Wen hooked the corners of his lips and chuckled, "It's exaggerated, it's too dishonest." ”
Lu Zheng nodded, deeply impressed by Lu Wen's words.
Indeed, this Feng Yushan is not honest, he acted too much, but it was fake.
The arm he was hanging on was smeared with chicken blood, and if they had never seen blood, they would dare to lie to them if they got some chicken blood and smeared it!
In any case, Feng Yushan is not credible, and Lu Zheng only believes a small part of what he says.
"Send someone to the mountain to explore first," Lu Zheng thought for a moment and ordered, "Be careful, don't startle the snake." ”
He wants to see how powerful the "bandits" on the mountain are!
"Yes, General, my subordinates will arrange it." Lu Wen responded with a fist and went down to arrange for people.
The guards they brought with them were all good hands, and it was okay to go out to find out the news.
