Chapter 80: The Grief-stricken Zhangye

"Oh, who is it?"

Concubine Guo hurriedly asked.

The young general's face was serious, "Zhang Ye, the Weiyuan general of my Southern Dynasty, he is now in the territory of the Jia Dynasty, I think it is naturally the most appropriate for him to go all the way north." ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince is now in Yecheng, and the location where Zhangye is located is the sea in the east, from where you can go up the river and reach Yecheng as quickly as possible."

When Concubine Guo heard this, a gleam flashed in her eyes, and she pondered slightly, "Okay, it's this Weiyuan general, tomorrow, if I don't give an order now, let him go up the river to Yecheng, and be sure to rescue His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

When the words fell, the two looked at each other and smiled, and everything was silent.

For Concubine Guo, killing Ye Yu is the top priority at the moment.

As soon as Ye Yu died, who among the heirs of the prince of the entire Southern Dynasty could compete with his son for the position of King of Zhennan?

Just when the two were planning how to kill Ye Yu, Ye Yu, the party, was marching at night with the army in his hand.

"Wang Xianzhi, if we march at this speed, where will we be able to reach by daybreak?" Ye Yu asked in a deep voice.

The prophet Wang on the side did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and hurriedly replied, "Your Royal Highness Hui Shizi, if we continue to march at this pace, by the time dawn, we should be able to reach the territory of Tongzhou." ”

"What is the geography of Tongzhou?" Ye Yu subconsciously spoke.

Wang Xianzhi understood that His Royal Highness the Prince was worried that if Tongzhou was a big plain, their identities would be accidentally exposed, so he might as well be mentally prepared.

He replied softly, "Your Royal Highness, rest assured, there are mostly hills and mountains in Tongzhou, although the mountains are not too high, there are also mountains. ”

When Ye Yu heard this, he felt a lot more relieved.

"After we pass through Tongzhou, we should be able to reach the beach, right?" He asked softly.

Wang Xianzhi hurriedly replied, "His Royal Highness the Prince is right, after passing through Tongzhou, you will reach the easternmost part of the Jia Dynasty. ”

Ye Yu nodded and didn't speak again.

But the doubts in his heart did not decrease much.

"Tell the brethren that we march at night, find a mountain range before dawn and go to bed, and even if we are now wearing the enemy's uniform, we must still be cautious, for if we accidentally miss the stuffing, we will be ruined."

Regarding Ye Yu's words, everyone felt that what they said was reasonable, so they didn't feel anything wrong.

The moonlight shone on the earth, like a galaxy sprinkled its brilliance, forming a beautiful curtain of water.

Ye Yu looked up at the sky and saw that the moon was getting rounder and rounder, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the rounder the moon, the more homesick the soldiers became. ”

The end of the night finally began in a glimmer of light on the horizon, and soon day and night alternated, and Ye Yu and the others were already in a huge mountain forest.

"Yang Jiang, pass on my order to rest in place, hurry up and sleep, and remember to stay guard to prevent wild beasts and enemies from sneaking over."

Ye Yu commanded Yang Jiang beside him.

The soldiers behind him stopped one by one, and Yang Jiang issued the order in the form of person-to-person.

The soldiers each looked for a position where they could sit a little more comfortably.

After a while, the soldiers, who had been on the road for several days, could no longer hold on and fell into a deep sleep.

In the camp of General Weiyuan of the Southern Dynasty, Zhang Ye looked at the secret letter in his hand and his brows jumped wildly.

When Zhang Ye finished reading, his whole person seemed to be drained of energy, and his body sat on the stool with a weak body.

He muttered to himself, "Lord Wang, Lord Wang, why did you go like this, the great cause of my Southern Dynasty has not yet been completed!" ”

His tears flowed down his eyes.

The soldiers who heard the strange noise hurriedly lifted their tents, and when they saw that their generals were so sad, they were also shocked in their hearts, and hurriedly told several lieutenants in the army about the matter.

The adjutant general looked incredulous and rushed to the camp together.

"The last general and the others ask to see the general." Outside the tent, the voice of an adjutant general rang out.

Zhang Ye was stunned for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he tried to control his emotions.

He wiped all the tears from his face and the corners of his eyes before he spoke, "Come in." ”

The curtain of the tent door was lifted, and several lieutenants walked in with normal faces, "I'll see the general." ”

They hurriedly bent down and saluted.

Zhang Ye said lightly, "No need to be polite. ”

A few people raised their heads, and at first glance they noticed the difference, after all, Zhang Ye had just cried, and his eyes were red.

Everyone was shocked, and one of them spoke cautiously, "General, I don't know what happened to you?" ”

Zhang Ye's tone was sad, "Order, from now on, all the soldiers will be tied with white cloth, and the barracks will be hung with white flowers." ”

"Half a day later, the whole army will gather and bow to the south with me to send off the prince."

When the words fell, the faces of several lieutenants changed wildly, and they lost their blood.

It was as if their necks had been choked, and it was difficult for them to breathe.

One person couldn't hold back anymore and fell directly to the ground.

Tears welled up in the eyes of the rest of the people, and they still didn't understand where their own prince had left.

As military generals of the Southern Dynasty, they are all five-body throwers who admire the prince.

Especially the military exploits made by the prince when he was young have always stimulated them to move forward.

However, at this moment, the prince who had inspired them for many years was no longer alive, which was too big a blow to them, as if the supreme belief in their hearts collapsed in an instant.

After a while, there was a cry in the camp.

Seeing this, Zhang Ye did not stop it, and his heart also hurt.

This Weiyuan general of his was personally appointed by the prince.

Zhang Ye stood up and walked out of the tent, he held back the emotions in his heart and opened his mouth to the soldiers outside the tent to inform the whole army to bring filial piety to the prince.

The soldiers were also shocked for a while before they reacted, and there was a sad atmosphere in the camp of Zhangye that day.

Zhang Ye stood on a small hillside with his hands behind his back, and there was still a trace of tears on his face, apparently he had cried again.

There was a sound of footsteps behind him, and Zhang Ye didn't look back, "Marching to the northwest early tomorrow morning, be sure to reach Yecheng as quickly as possible." ”

"If you can avoid the battle along the way, you can avoid the battle, and if you can't avoid it, you will take it as quickly as possible, regardless of the casualties."

The lieutenant general behind him hugged his fists and took the order, and before that, they also received an order from Zhang Ye, saying that Concubine Guo asked them to save the prince of the Southern Dynasty as quickly as possible.

Zhang Yeyou told them that Concubine Guo also asked him to kill the prince in the north.

At the end of that letter, Concubine Guo promised Zhang Ye many official positions and benefits.

Zhang Ye looked at the scenery in the distance and recalled his bits and pieces in the Southern Dynasty, and his heart gradually made up his mind.
