Chu Yun Han style, south show north Xiong.

As early as thousands of years ago, during the Emperor Yao period, Xuzhou had already built a city, which was Pengcheng and the Great Peng Kingdom.

When Xia Yu ruled the water, the mountains and rivers of Kyushu were fixed, and Xuzhou was one of the Kyushu.

Since Xuzhou began to have human footprints, it has become a battleground for ancient soldiers.

Daming, Xuzhou set up a government, control Zhili, Shandong, Henan three border water and land connectivity, north of Yanzhou, east of Huai'an, west of Guide, south of Fengyang, and the Yellow River, canal transport convergence.

If something happens here, the transportation between the north and south of the empire will be interrupted, and the ancestral land of the central capital will be in danger.

On this day, the sun has set in the west, and the blue sky is gradually dyed red by the setting sun, and the ground is orange and yellow. In the city of Xuzhou, the officials at the prefectural and county levels, as well as the generals of the Wei Command Division, were already carrying the banners and carrying the drivers out of the city, and rushed to the section of the river outside the city where boats could be docked.

In order to meet the upcoming imperial grandson's fleet, Peng Jingxiu, the county commander of Tongshan County, who rarely rode on horseback, frowned and looked at the vast road ahead: "His Royal Highness the Taisun will escort 50,000 loads of grain and grass with a thousand brocade guards and sailors of the fleet, should we bring some more people over."

Peng Jingxiu said that he was worried, and he looked like he was loyal to the country.

Dai Chi, the commander of the guard post who was wearing a military uniform and a lancet at his waist, who was riding a horse and wearing a lancet, turned his head and glanced at the county order: "The will of the imperial court, I, the Xuzhou Wei, and the soldiers and horses, all went out of the city to relieve the disaster and save the people. Even the Beijing army that left Beijing last year to relieve the snow on both sides of the Yangtze River had tens of thousands of them diverted to Kaifeng Mansion. In such a situation, where did Dai County tell me to get someone to come over?"

Peng Jingxiu was stunned and opened his mouth.

However, Dai Chi is the commander of Xuzhou Wei, and his rank and official status are higher than him.

Xu Zufa, the prefect of Xuzhou Prefecture, who was on par with Dai Chi and did not lose to Dai Chi in equestrian skills, looked back at Peng Jingxiu, turned his head to Dai Chi and said, "One hundred and ten three-class servants from the prefecture and county, plus the personal soldiers of the commander, there are only three hundred people in total.

Xu Zufa has been in office in Xuzhou for some years, and his governance is also good.

Seeing the prefect speak, Dai Chi nodded.

"If it weren't for the idiots of Lankao County, why wouldn't it be like this."

Xu Zufa smiled: "Since the grandson has come to the Six Mansions in person this time, it is not only the fools of Lankao County who will be unlucky, but also the Kaifeng Mansion."

Speaking of this, Xu Zufa couldn't help but think about it.

His own Xuzhou Mansion is also one of the counties affected by the disaster, but as soon as the upstream flood of his Xuzhou Mansion came, he immediately mobilized all his subjects to relieve the disaster. As soon as the will of the imperial court arrived, even the officers and soldiers of the guard station were all dispatched, asking for money and food, and the government office did not delay for half a minute.

This time Kaifeng Mansion is going to be unlucky, as long as he does well in Xuzhou Mansion, it will fall into the eyes of Taisun, which is a real meritorious achievement.

Perhaps, Kaifeng such a big mansion can also seek it himself.

Or dredge it up and go back to Beijing to be a ministry official?

Xu Zufa thought in his heart that it was his official career, and unconsciously greeted him who had already walked to the northeast of Xuzhou City, near the canal between Luliang Mountain and Dadong Mountain.

The river network here is dense, and there is a river channel directly linking the Weishan Lake in the northwest at the foot of Dadong Mountain, and there is an auxiliary river connecting the upstream and downstream of the canal in a bow shape.

Because of the flood of the Yellow River this time, the upstream burst, the flood is unstoppable, these rivers outside Xuzhou City are also rising high, festering countless times, between Dadong Mountain and Luliang Mountain is almost an ocean, and it is almost difficult to move forward here.

Beside the river in front of us, tall masts began to be erected, and canvases were being collected.

Xu Zufa couldn't help but feel spirited.

Just as he was about to urge everyone to speed up and rush to the riverbank to meet His Royal Highness.

From the oblique stab, a team suddenly appeared, all of them on horseback, dressed in cloth armor, wearing long knives at their waists, carrying long firearms on their backs, and spears wrapped in their horses.

It's an elite.

When stabbed from the oblique

When the team suddenly appeared in front of him, Xu Zufa reacted with just a pause in his heart.

Dai Chi was already shouting, calling his own soldiers to gather in front of the team.

Dai Chi himself even held the handle of the knife, silently pulled it out, and dragged it diagonally behind him, his eyes showing vigilance.

"But the people from Xuzhou Mansion?"

The teams of the two sides gradually approached, and in the heavily armed elite team, there was a sudden inquiry.

Dai Chi was slightly stunned, and looked back at Xu Zufa, who was protected by himself.

Xu Zufa nodded.

Then, Dai Chi led the two personal soldiers to step forward carefully.

"Who are you waiting for, this place is under the rule of Xuzhou Prefecture, and foreign soldiers must have a military department and a dispatch document from the Governor's Mansion to enter the country."

Dai Chi didn't think that these people who could be so well-equipped would be some kind of rioters or other things like green forests and grass.

At present, the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty can be expected, and I have not heard of the rebels in the Central Plains.

These people can only be the military horses of the imperial court.

However, the imperial court military horses have always been strictly controlled, and no one dares to step out of the territory without the dispatch documents of the governor's office and the military department.

"Shangzhi's pro-army brocade guard, was ordered to come to pick up the officials of the Xuzhou Mansion."

The elite soldiers and horses, who were equipped with firearms, reported their names.

Dai Chi's eyelids shrank suddenly.

It turned out to be Jinyiwei!

He looked at these soldiers and horses who were not wearing brocade guards flying fish suits at night, and he couldn't help but feel a little more curious in his heart.

At this time, Xu Zufa, the prefect of Xuzhou who was behind, had already driven to Dai Chi's side and looked at the soldiers and horses in front of him who claimed to be Jinyiwei.

"Whose orders are you?"

"It is the order of His Royal Highness the Taisun." One of the Jinyi guards drove his horse forward slightly, and his eyes fell on Xu Zufa's body: "This must be the Xu Governor's Mansion, His Royal Highness personally named the Xu Governor's Mansion and asked the Xu Governor's Mansion to go over."

As he spoke, Jin Yiwei had already taken out a token from his arms.

With the last ray of light on the horizon, Xu Zufa could see clearly that it was indeed Jinyiwei's token.

It's just that Xu Zufa still said cautiously: "I don't know where His Highness is now?"

"Your Highness is at the foot of the Great Tower Mountain at the moment."

Xu Zufa's eyes moved slightly.

Data Mountain is still six or seven miles away from the canal, and at this time, the grandson has already gone ashore and quietly ran to the foot of Data Mountain.

It's an anomaly.

Xu Zu looked sideways at the huge fleet of boats on the river in the distance.

"Governor Xu, Your Highness has been waiting for you for a long time."

Jinyiwei's people reminded him again, and Xu Zufa only reacted.

Raising his head to look at the other party, Xu Zufa showed a smile on his face: "Xiaguan is going here, this is going." Please lead the way."

……

"Minister, Xu Zufa, the prefect of Xuzhou Prefecture, see His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson."

"Minister, Peng Jingxiu, the county commander of Tongshan County, Xuzhou Prefecture, see His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson."

"The last general, Dai Chi, the commander of Xuzhou Wei, will meet His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson."

Data Mountain is actually not big, only one mile from east to west, and less than 100 zhang wide from north to south.

At the southern foot of Data Mountain, Xu Zufa, Dai Chi, and Peng Jingxiu had already seen the imperial grandson who was standing on a high place, holding a copper pipe in his hand, looking at the river going to the canal and being guarded by many brocade guards.

Xu Zufa was very careful, and seeing that the imperial grandson did not mean to look back at himself and the others, he cautiously turned his head and looked at the foot of the mountain in the east.

It was an extremely large convoy connected from end to end, tightly covered with tarpaulins, the wheels were deeply crushed under the road, and a large number of officers and soldiers were tightly guarded on the left and right.

And among them, Xu Zufa even saw the soldiers and horses of Huai'an Mansion, who were from Suqian County and Pizhou County!

Xu Zufa felt that he was probably wrong, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Dai Chi beside him.

Dai Chi glanced sideways, then nodded cautiously.

Xu Zufa suddenly felt bad in his heart.

Who would have thought that Taisun had entered Xuzhou Mansion, and before they rushed over to greet him, Taisun had already taken people off the boat.

Moreover, at this moment, these carriages under the big tower mountain are obviously carrying the 50,000 loads of grain and grass.

Now there are soldiers and horses from Huai'an Mansion that should not have appeared in the boundary of Xuzhou.

Something big must be happening.

Xu Zufa became nervous in an instant, and his heart became suspended.

He is the prefect of Xuzhou, but if something happens in the territory of Xuzhou, he doesn't even know about himself, then he can't escape the charge of negligence.

For a while, Xu Zufa became flustered.

"Your surname is Xu, and you know Xuzhou, which is interesting."

Suddenly, a sound brought Xu Zufa back to reality.

When he raised his head, he saw that His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson had already put down the long cylinder and turned to look at him.

Xu Zufa perked up, and hurriedly wanted to salute again.

Zhu Yunxi waved his hand and looked at the official of the prefect Xuzhou: "The false courtesy is waived, and I asked you to come over, but I don't want you to run to the wrong place, and I want to be scared." Here, accompany Lone to watch a good show."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Yunxi gestured to Yutian beside him.

Yutian took a telescope from the side and sent it to Xu Zufa, and someone else sent a telescope to Dai Chi and Peng Jingxiu.

Xu Zufa's heart was already full of doubts.

At this time, a group of people came from the foot of the mountain at a hurry.

It's all the costume of a fisherman here in Xuzhou Mansion.

Xu Zufa was completely stunned, and he didn't know what kind of show he would watch later.

Zhu Yunxi looked at Nan Tianpeng, who came over with someone, and a smile appeared on his face: "Are you ready?"

Nan Tianpeng still had water vapor on his body, and he bowed down from a distance: "Back to Your Highness, everything is ready, and the brothers are now heading towards the fleet."

Zhu Yunxi nodded and stopped talking, under Xu Zufa's gaze, he picked up the telescope again and put it in front of his eyes, looking at the fleet in the distance that was lit up with countless lights because the sun had completely set down.

Xu Zufa, Dai Chi, and Peng Jingxiu followed the appearance of the emperor's grandson and put the telescope in front of them.

The cylinder was suddenly enlarged and pulled into the canal in front of them, which frightened the three of them and trembled.

It's just that the next moment, the picture of the fleet moored on the canal attracted the three of them.

I saw that in the middle of the fleet, those ships carrying grain and grass were unloading goods from the ships to the shore under the illumination of countless lights.

Is that also grain and grass?

Xu Zufa and the three of them were puzzled in their hearts, if the things that the fleet was unloading now were grain and grass, then what was loaded on the carriage under the big tower mountain?

Don't wait for the three of them to find out.

On the river between the two sections of the fleet, there were suddenly sparks and fires, and through the telescope, the three of them seemed to be able to hear bursts of roars.

The boats spread all over the river, and they rushed towards the fleet.

In a few moments, there was chaos on the riverbank.

Xu Zufa finally saw clearly what those things were removed from the ship.

It's bags of stones!

It's a trap!

In an instant, Xu Zufa had a clear idea of what was happening now.

There are thieves in Xuzhou Mansion, intending to rob grain.

Xu Zufa held the telescope in his hand, but there were already drops of sweat oozing out of his palms.

However, the voice of the imperial grandson penetrated into Xu Zufa's ears at this time.

"And look at what these people will do."

Xu Zufa swallowed a mouthful of saliva and stared at everything that happened in the telescope with wide eyes.

boat

The warships at the bow and tail of the team had already let out an earth-shattering roar, and huge fires burst out on the warships, and one after another fire bombs were fired from the warships to the riverboats rushing from the river.

It's just that these shells don't seem to be accurate at all today, and they can only set off huge waves and mist on the surface of the river.

Finally, a horn sounded on the treasure ship.

The ships at the bow and end of the flotilla began to set sail and move.

As the ships started, the small boats that rushed towards the fleet also began to turn their bows and flee in the direction they came, as if they were extremely unwilling to be crushed by the huge ships at the bottom of the river.

In between, a chase and escape situation began.

This must have been to divert the ships away, and then another ambush would attack the fleet!

Xu Zufa didn't understand the art of war, but he still understood the practice of those river boats that rushed to the fleet first and now began to flee again.

He couldn't help but turn his binoculars to the treasure ship parked on the river, and he didn't understand whether the commander on the ship didn't even understand this.

Sure enough, after about a quarter of an hour, the warships at the bow and end of the flotilla had already sailed far away.

Then, on the north bank of the river, in the direction of Datong Mountain, two groups of people rushed to the side of the river with carriages full of things.

The wagons were then thrown into the river.

In the blink of an eye, the river was full of blockages.

It is impossible for the warship to rush back to the rescue!

Although there was chaos just now, Xu Zufa saw that the stones that had been brought down from the cargo ship were stones.

But now that the river is blocked, and there are no warships to suppress the formation, even if these thieves can't grab food and grass, what if the fleet is set on fire?

Xu Zufa didn't dare to think about it.

The treasure ship is the ship of the emperor's grandson, which is equivalent to the dignity of the imperial court outside.

At this time, as the river channel is blocked.

On the bank of the canal in the direction of Datong Mountain, no less than 2,000 people and horses suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and began to rush towards the fleet with long ladders, pontoons, etc.

Xu Zufa moved the telescope forward a little, and looked cautiously at the imperial grandson beside him.

There doesn't seem to be much of a response.

Xu Zufa's brows couldn't help frowning.

Wait until he will focus his attention on the telescope again.

Suddenly, he noticed that from the bottom of the slope on this side of the river, there were artillery pieces being pushed to the top of the embankment.

An officer and soldier directly flattened the muzzle of the cannon and faced the thieves rushing towards the opposite bank.

And on the decks of the cargo ships docked on the shore, there were also raincloths that were lifted, and on the other side of the river, artillery guns were displayed.

These are all artillery pieces equipped on the ships of the Daming Naval Division.

Almost instantly, before Xu Zufa could react, a huge light erupted on the entire canal.

Then, an invisible wave of air spread through the telescope, followed by a huge roar that spread from the river all the way to the side of Data Mountain.

Xu Zufa's hands trembled, and his whole body was shocked.

The telescope couldn't help but shake a little.

The scene in the camera jumped from the fleet and the artillery to the thieves on the other side.

The next moment, a picture that Xu Zufa will never forget in his life appeared.

I saw the continuous roar of the artillery.

One by one, the shells flew over the river and plunged headlong into the crowd on the opposite bank, exploding in the air and bursting out countless small pieces.

This was followed by a cloud of crimson blood mist and countless pieces of minced flesh and severed limbs, exploding in mid-air.

A single cannonball can almost take the lives of three or five thieves, and those who are far away will be overturned by the air wave of the cannonball, and before these people can land, they will be hit by the cannonballs that explode next to them

, and then turns into a cloud of blood mist.

In the gaps between these artillery fires.

From the treasure ships and cargo ships on the river, as well as more pairs of bed crossbows, crossbow arrows with the thickness of children's arms were shot, and the arrows were like a shovel, shoveling the thieves in the gap between the cannonballs into two like cutting melons.

Then the crossbowmen and archers on the ship gathered their bows and arrows and fell into the group of thieves on the opposite bank.

Almost one-sided pressing, without any dragging.

Seeing this, Xu Zufa was already convinced that this was a trap that His Royal Highness had already arranged, waiting for the arrival of these thieves to loot the fleet so that it could be destroyed in one fell swoop.

"Your Highness, they are fleeing!"

Looking at the thieves who had become cannon fodder one by one, and began to show signs of turning around and fleeing, Xu Zufa couldn't help but open his mouth and let out a low sigh.

Zhu Yunxi smiled slightly: "Governor Xu might as well take a look at it for a while."

Xu Zufa hurriedly picked up the binoculars and looked at the other side of the canal.

I don't know when, when those thieves wanted to turn around and flee, from the river on both sides of the river, there were groups of officers and soldiers, and a fisherman with a famous harpoon and firewood knife in his hand, had already wrapped those thieves from both sides, cutting off the other party's back road.

These thieves are dead!

When Xu Zufa saw this, it was not clear what had happened before and after.

He lowered his binoculars and looked back at the fishermen standing not far from the crowd.

Zhu Yunxi also put down the binoculars at this time, and the trap laid by the purpose of the grain robbery known in advance really has nothing to see.

He looked at Xu Zufa, who was still stunned, and smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth: "It seems that the eight hundred miles of water on this side of Xuzhou Mansion are nothing more than that."

Xu Zufa immediately trembled.

With a pop, he took Dai Chi and Peng Jingxiu to kneel on the ground.

"Your Highness is a capital crime, please punish it severely."
