On December 23, You Shilu ordered the whole army to march down the river, under the banner of protecting the crown prince, and attack Nanjing.

With the military discipline that the You family army does not have military discipline now, when the army is launched, it will inevitably ravage Wuchang again.

This caused a large number of people to flee.

Some of them couldn't escape and were taken in by He Tengjiao, the governor of Huguang.

He Tengjiao placed them in the courtyard, and then sent the family to hang the sign of the governor's yamen outside.

The idea is very simple, that is, I hope to use my identity to make the soldiers dare not come in.

However, this is in vain.

Hearing that He Tengjiao's government took in a large number of people, the soldiers directly hit the door.

While shouting, "You Dashuai invites Governor He to clear the king's side together", they set fire to the backyard of He's mansion.

The fire spread rapidly, and the flames soared into the sky.

He Tengjiao had no choice but to take the house slaves out to meet the ruffians, and at the same time told the people to run away quickly.

As for how much he can escape, He Tengjiao can't control it.

He Tengjiao, the word Yuncong, a native of Liping Mansion in Guizhou, a jinshi in the first year of the Apocalypse, served as the head of the military department before his death in the Ming Dynasty. After the establishment of the Hongguang regime, he was promoted to the imperial history of the right Jindu and the governor of Huguang.

He wasn't a very bad person, but with this fire, his conscience was completely burned.

He Tengjiao was pushed in front of You Shilu.

You Shilu sat on the shore and didn't get up when he saw He Tengjiao coming:

"Lord He, this marshal upholds the loyalty of serving the country and leads the army into Nanjing to seek justice for the prince who is detained in prison, is your lord willing to participate?"

"You Shuai said so, how dare I disobey."

"Then get on board."

"No, I was just frightened, and I'm a little uncomfortable in a big boat, can you give me a small boat and follow the army."

"Okay." You Shilu glanced at He Tengjiao and guessed that He Tengjiao might take the opportunity to slip away.

He gave a look to the lieutenant generals around him and asked them to follow He Tengjiao in a small boat.

From morning to afternoon, the raids were plundered for a whole day.

In the evening, You Shilu ordered the whole army to march and board the command ship.

As soon as the big boat traveled for a while, a soldier came to report: "Dashuai, He Tengjiao took advantage of our people's inattention and jumped into the river and fled."

"What! What about the four lieutenants who protect him!" You Shilu wanted to kill them.

"All four lieutenants committed suicide by jumping into the river."

"Count them as acquaintances."

You Shilu didn't want to look for He Tengjiao anymore, so he commanded the army to continue down the river.

That night, the army was stationed at Bailuji, west of Wuchang.

The cook brought a dish of steamed Wuchang fish, and You Shilu took a bite and shook his head.

The cook was frightened and hurriedly fell to his knees.

You Shilu motioned for him to get up, "I don't want to eat steamed today, you can get me some sashimi to eat."

"Dashuai, you can't get fresh fish so late!"

"Huh?"

"The villain is going to get it."

"."

You Shilu glanced at the maid, who hurriedly poured him wine.

After a few glasses of wine, the cook came with freshly made sashimi.

You Shilu took a slice of fish with chopsticks, ate it, and couldn't help nodding: "It's right to eat sashimi in winter, the meat is delicious."

The cook didn't dare to laugh or stop laughing, only nodded violently.

"Get out." You Shilu glared at him, and the cook was so frightened that he crawled back.

This funny action made You Shilu laugh.

You Shilu poured himself a drink and ate a large plate of sashimi until very late.

He didn't want to eat it all, and he didn't want it to be so late.

But tonight the night was surprisingly good, and the moonlight poured down like silver on the ground.

People have joys and sorrows, and the moon is cloudy and sunny, and this matter is difficult to complete. The You family has all died in Yulin, including You Shilu's wife, son, and daughter.

He was already alone, and in the face of a bright moon, he was even more emotional.

The next morning, You Shilu felt that something was wrong with his body, but he couldn't say what was uncomfortable.

Another day, the health is even worse. Diarrhea began to appear, several times a day.

When the generals saw him, they saw that his face had collapsed and they looked at each other.

For several days in a row, the doctor prescribed medicine and could not take it well.

On the first day of the first lunar month, You Shilu arrived in Jiujiang and was already lying in bed and couldn't get up.

He saw a strange and familiar face in a daze.

"Inspector Yuan!" You Shilu was stunned.

However, Yuan Chonghuan looked at him in a daze, his eyes glazed.

"Overseer, what's wrong with you?" You Shilu wanted to step forward, but found that he couldn't move.

Then, he saw a terrifying scene, Yuan Chonghuan turned into pieces of flesh and blood and appeared on You Shilu's table.

Then, the meat became the sashimi that was eaten on the boat that day, and the blood water became the wine that Yu Shilu drank that day.

"Oh no, I'm eating fish, not people!"

You Shilu was frightened, covering his heart, only to feel that his heart was piercing.

With a click, You Shilu sat up from the bed.

He looked around and realized that he was in the boat, and the river was lapping against the big boat, making a clattering sound.

"I'm going to die." You Shilu cried.

The cry drew the guards, as well as his only son, You Gongji.

"Gongji, come here."

"Father, why are you crying?"

"For my father, this illness will not be cured, and death is not far away."

"Father, don't say such things, children can't live without you." You Gongji knelt in front of You Shilu's bed and cried.

"Good boy, don't cry. Listen carefully, I have something to tell you."

"Father, please speak."

"After I die, the only general you can rely on is Hui Dengxiang, and you will respect him as your eldest brother in the future, and the rest is not worth mentioning."

"But he was born in a thief army, and he will not be loyal to his father."

"I'm not completely sure of this, you just try to listen to him."

"Yes, father."

You Gongji's heart suddenly disappeared, and a feeling of fear came to his heart.

You Shilu continued: "We have done a lot of evil, we will not allow the invasion of the army, and don't try to surrender to the Liaodong army, you just follow the Ming army well until you die."

"Father, are we really cornered?" You Gongji was terrified.

"When I wanted to occupy Nanjing, I was not simply forced by Li Zicheng to have nowhere to go, but I wanted to use Nanjing as capital to bargain with Yang Chengying. It is impossible to enter Nanjing now, and the Hongguang Imperial Court is in danger, and they will forgive us."

"Got it."

"Go, you go and call Whitden, I'm going to ask him in person."

You Gongji retreated, and after a while, he led Hui Dengxiang to come.

Whitden knelt down and saluted.

You Shilu breathlessly said, "General Hui, my son will ask you to give him more support."

"Don't worry, you will do it in the future."

Hui Dengxiang was thinking in his heart, this guy didn't think of Tuogu until he died, it was too late.

As the leader of the peasant army who could be as famous as Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong in the past, Hui Dengxiang is not only old and has many soldiers, but also very stable. ap.

However, such a person cannot be reached by You Shilu.

Under the watchful eyes of Hui Dengxiang and You Gongji, You Shilu fell ill and died on the ship that night.

This fierce general from Yulinwei, who followed Yuan Chonghuan's heroes against Jin, suppressed the sharp weapon of the peasant army, and harmed the warlords of one side, and ended up dying violently.

When he died, he only muttered to himself: "Lose Yuan Gong!"
