The day after Xue Pan and Li Kui fought.

Hangzhou City, prefect's yamen.

Beijing Wang Shuirong led the Qincha team south last year, settled in it, and occupied most of the government, so far, it has been more than three months.

In the morning, Shi Xiuxing, the rear office of Hangzhou Mansion, hurriedly came to look for Jia Lian and said with a smile: "This year, General Duan has received the holy decree again!" ”

In the morning, Shi Xiu went to General Yuhang's mansion with the water, and happened to see the scene of Duan Huangui receiving the order, and after coming back, he chatted with Jia Lian.

Jia Lian had just gotten up at this time, and he smiled when he heard it, and said, "The imperial court came to urge him to enter the army again?" If he really moves, it would be fine, and we would be idle here all day long. ”

stayed in Hangzhou for three months, and only guarded the water dissolved in the prefect's back office all day long, no wonder Jia Lian was tired of staying. He originally wanted to find Yang Zhi, who was on duty in General Yuhang's mansion, to eat wine, but when he heard that Yangzhou had already been sent by Duan Huangui to Huzhou to garrison the place, he had no choice but to give up.

Because the original naval army of General Yuhang's Mansion was wiped out, even Dongting Island, where the garrison in Taihu Lake was robbed, was robbed to be a den of thieves. Therefore, after the new Yuhang general Duan Huangui took office, he first buried himself in training the recruits and dispatched the place, which was occupied by the huge Taihu Lake called water thieves.

At first, it was fine, but after a few months of this, Emperor Yonglong in Kyoto was impatient, and he had already sent several decrees to urge Duan Huangui to march into the army and cut off the water thieves. Otherwise, tens of thousands of fish households around Taihu Lake will live by a group of water thieves, and what is the face of the imperial court...

It was precisely because he had to wait for Duan Huangui and the Taihu Lake water thieves to have a fight that it was Shui Rong's turn to do the trick and safety, Duan Huangui did not move, and Shui Rong and Jia Lian Shixiu had no choice but to stay in Hangzhou again.

Shi Xiu saw that the excitement on his face was not fake at this moment, and said with a smile: "I heard the prince say that this time the general is ready to do it, he surrounded Taihu Lake, and asked the water thieves inside to gnaw on the fish for several months, and their faces were sour from eating, and there have been several water thieves who can't help but come ashore recently." ”

The water potential in Taihu Lake is complicated, and it is known as the "72 peaks" and "48 islands", and it is much easier to call the water thieves to come up than for the officers and soldiers to go in. Now that the water thieves can't hold back and want to come out, it's a good opportunity to do it!

Shi Xiu and Jia Lian chatted about the battle situation, both had itchy hands, and they also wanted to meet those Taihu Lake thieves.

At this time, Shui Rong suddenly called someone to give an order and asked Jia Lian to go over and speak. Shui Rong is the chief official of the Qin Mission, Jia Lian heard the order, and it was not easy to slack off, so he left with Shi Xiu.

Jia Lian walked out of the house, passed through the corridor outside the door, passed a vertical arch, and turned to the place where the water solution was. When he entered the door, the front of the hall was bright, and a middle-aged man sat on the left side of the room and talked to him.

This person Jia Lian also knows, it is the third master of the Jinling Wang family, Wang Zisheng, the younger brother of Wang Ziteng, Jia Lian wants to follow Wang Xifeng to shout a third uncle.

Jia Lian immediately stepped forward to greet them one by one, and then sat down on the right.

Shui Rong's face was gloomy, and when he saw Jia Lian sitting down, he sighed: "Jia Sima knows that Song Jiang went ashore a few days ago, robbed Haining Prefecture of money and grain, and left, and his whereabouts are unknown. ”

Song Jiang has a sincere heart, Jia Lian has already talked to Shui Rong in the past few months. Shui Rong was overjoyed when he first heard it, thinking that he wanted to make a breakthrough from Song Jiang's side, so he sent a letter to contact Song Jiang, but there was no reply.

Now that Song Jiang came out and broke Haining Prefecture, Shui Rong was inevitably disappointed in Song Jiang.

When Jia Lian heard the word 'Haining Prefecture', he didn't think about it, but he was also tired of Song Jiang missing Lin Ruhai's kindness, so he frowned and said: "There are so many water thieves in Taihu Lake, why can't he help but come ashore first, and go to Haining Prefecture..."

Suddenly, Jia Lian stopped, remembering that Haining Prefecture seemed to be the place where Wu Yong took office?

Wang Zisheng on the side smiled and said loudly: "Song Jiang and other thieves can't eat the official family's food, so they missed the prince's kindness in vain......"

Wang Zisheng and Shui Rong had other things to say, and Jia Lian was worried about Wu Yong's situation, so he got up and left. Shui Rong asked him to come to tell Song Jiang that he would go out to fight the imperial court and county first, and did not keep him again.

Jia Lian hurriedly went out, and the two of them, Zhao Tianliang and Zhao Tiandong, who were next to him, did not call, and ran to the stable in a hurry to lead the horse, and went out of the prefect's yamen.

General Yuhang's Mansion is also located in Hangzhou, and the fall of Haining Prefecture should be a military situation. Jia Lian turned over and wanted to go to the General's Mansion to inquire about the specific situation in Haining Prefecture.

At this time, there was a person dressed in tatters on the side of the road, and when he saw Jia Lian on the horse, he hurriedly stretched out his hand and shouted:

"Brother, where are you going!"

This person is Wu Yong, after he escaped from Li Kui's hands last night, he entered Hangzhou City with Xue Pan this morning, and touched the prefect's yamen all the way.

Jia Lian listened to all directions, stopped the horse in time, and turned his head to look.

In order to escape from Li Kui's men, Wu Yong tore his clothes and wrapped them in mud and dust, and mingled among the refugees. Now Jia Lian looked at it again and again, and only then did he see Wu Yong's appearance.

Jia Lian was overjoyed, dismounted and came over, and said with a smile: "Okay, it turns out that you are here, I heard that Song Jiang broke Haining Prefecture and was about to find your whereabouts!" ”

Wu Yong smiled bitterly and said: "Alas, it's hard to say, in short, it's my brother's care." ”

They hadn't seen each other for years, only through some letters, and they had met at this time, and they were not half unfamiliar.

Jia Lian immediately led the horse with one hand, and dragged Wu Yong into the prefect's yamen with the other, Rao is Wu looked like a beggar, because Jia Lian personally led the way, the people of the yamen did not dare to stop them, and let them in.

When he arrived at the back office, Wu Yong went to wash off the dust on his body first. Jia Lian saw that Wu Yong's face was sallow, and he thought that he had been hungry for a few days, so he arranged for someone to set the table, hugged a pot of rice, and served it with a plate of sauced beef and a few vegetables and vegetables.

Wu Yong came out with a change of clothes, that is, he ate like a whirlwind and clouds, and chatted about his belly. Jia Lian sat beside him, ate a few glasses of wine, and when Wu was full, Fang came to ask him why he was so down, which was worse than last year's meeting.

When Wu Yongyan heard this, he was also grateful for a long time, and then slowly said the loss of land.

He really didn't understand it in the past few days, obviously there were still two or three counties in the middle, and General Yuhang's Mansion had deployed troops to blockade Taihu Lake, but Song Jiang just wanted to come to fight his Haining Prefecture, could it be that he really loved his talent and wanted to earn him into the gang?

Heaven can see pity, but if Song Jiang was found before he was developed, Wu Yong couldn't say it, but now how can he say it, he is also a county magistrate, the so-called 'Baili Hou' among the people, how can he still be willing to do that fateful thing!

Wu secretly hated in his heart, in the court law, the magistrate, as the chief official of one party, has the responsibility of defending the land, and now Haining Prefecture is broken and he has not been martyred, which is already considered a crime.

Now that he has defected to Jia Lian's side, Wu Yong has settled down for the time being, and he has the heart to atone for his crimes, so he asked Jia Lian about the current situation in Hangzhou.

Jia Lian naturally didn't hide it, and told the things he knew in detail.

When he heard that General Yuhang Duan Huangui was going to send troops in a big way in the near future, Wu glared at him with his eyes and stood up suddenly!

"I see! Song Jiang is going to sea! ”
