Jiangnan resort, there are three autumn laurels, ten miles of lotus.

Speaking of Jiangnan, people can't help but dance with their eyebrows and yearn for it.

This Jiangnan is centered on Yangzhou.

Yangzhou has many scenes, among which the Qinhuai River is famous all over the world; it is said that in many dynasties, there are emperors paraded here, and there have been a lot of elegant and comical things, which are still talked about in the market today.

The name of the Qinhuai River is three points in the water, but seven points are on the exquisite painting boats cruising on the water surface day and night. When night falls, these boats are filled with beautiful string orchestra music and singing. The guests are like clouds, dignitaries and nobles, in an endless stream, pushing cups and changing lamps, drinking and having fun, until they stay all night.

The entire Qinhuai River has become a sea of joy.

This is a joy that can sink anyone, this is a gold cave that swallows people without spitting out bones, and this is a big dye vat that has long been out of color......

And behind the joy, there are even poets who say: A vein of Qinhuai, bit by bit, is blood and tears!

Now, however, the grandeur is gone. Above Qin Huai, the number of painting boats has dropped sharply, and the people in the boat have sad faces and no place for panic.

Yangzhou is about to change!

There were constant reports that a fierce division broke through from the northwest, and all the way was like a bamboo, breaking through Nanyang Mansion and Jiande Mansion one after another, and soon it hit Yangzhou City, a county and a county. This army has become a prairie fire, unstoppable, and their banner is a bit strange, one side is "Ruishi", and the other side has only one big character:

"Chen"!

Obviously, the leader of the army should be the Chen family.

However, no one knows who the Chen clan is, and it is not even clear where they came from. Some say the north, some say Zhongzhou, and some say Yongzhou......

In the minds of many Yangzhou people, Yongzhou is still a broken world with chaos.

The only thing that made it clear to everyone was the menacing army of sharp soldiers. It is said that when they first appeared in Yangzhou, there were only a few thousand, and now, with the continuous incorporation, there are tens of thousands.

This situation is not surprising, for many years, Yangzhou has been the Yuan family, the governance is very strict, in the peaceful years, but has been in order. But with the uprising of Yuan Wenchang and the leading of most of the troops to fight north, Yangzhou became an empty place. What's more serious is that because of the needs of the war, Yuan Wenchang ordered the rear to continuously transport all kinds of materials and Xinding to the north.

This category of "common people" not only refers to poor families, but also includes all kinds of squires and wealthy families, and even famous families.

If Yuan Wenchang wants to fight for the world and win the world, it is impossible to rely on those grassroots alone.

At the beginning, the gentry class took the initiative to support it, because Yuan Wenchang promised that as long as he won the world, he would return several times.

To put it bluntly, this is equivalent to a business investment. For thousands of years, everything in the world has been like this.

It was only later that the wind changed, and the invasion of the Mengyuan Dynasty became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

The front line is tight, the situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse, and all kinds of support in the rear have changed from active to passive to forced, and resentment has inevitably grown and increased.

At present, Yangzhou is equivalent to withered grass everywhere, and a random spark may burn the plains - the arrival of the Rui Shi Army is a fire.

So, all at once, it burned.

Mo Xuanyi governed the army rigorously and marched solemnly, although many military regulations were promulgated by Chen Sanlang himself when he was in Yongzhou, but the implementation was also quite important.

Mo Xuanyi is an excellent executor, with strict military discipline, and all things that are not burned, killed, and plundered are prohibited. In this way, it naturally won the hearts of the people. Everywhere he went, he recruited troops on a large scale, first, to enrich his ranks, and second, to stabilize local relations. After all, he led the army to fight Yangzhou, not to run away after the fight, but to enter the game, making Yangzhou a new foundation for Chen Sanlang.

After entering the country, the momentum was like a bamboo, and the process was so smooth that even Mo Xuanyi was a little surprised. However, he quickly figured out the trick, and without hesitation, he rushed to Yangzhou City as fast as he could. As long as the prefecture and county are conquered and this thousand-year-old city is occupied, the situation in the entire state will be under control.

The Sharp Warriors mounted their horses and formed a cavalry force of 1,000 men. Horses' hooves are hoofing, and flags are flying.

On this day, the vanguard led by Mo Xuanyi had already arrived at the edge of Qinhuai.

Le Ma stopped and looked, and saw a vein of river flowing slowly, Mo Xuanyi's heart fluctuated inexplicably, just like the rippling blue waves.

Recalling that year, he was exiled and left Yangzhou City in a hurry, and when he passed by this river, he couldn't help but shed tears, and secretly swore in his heart: One day, he would return to Yangzhou......

In fact, Mo Xuanyi also understood at the time: This kind of oath is like a gamble, and it is really very ethereal.

Now, he really has to fight back! Life is really like a play, and he never knows what scene will be performed next.

The horsewhip in his hand pointed at the flying corner of a city tower in the distance, and shouted: "Look, that's Yangzhou!"

Behind him, the thousands of horsemen roared in unison, and the sound was rolling, startling the Qinhuai River.

Yangzhou, it's going to change!

......

In the Northland, the wind has brought coolness. This wind blew the capital even more deserted, withered everywhere, and desolate everywhere.

The Forbidden City, in the palace, has long been dispersed, but Yuan Wenchang sat on the throne of the Jinluan Treasure Hall and never got up.

He didn't move, and the eunuch guards under his command naturally didn't dare to move, holding their breath, and they didn't dare to breathe.

In order to sit in this position, Yuan Wenchang has already killed a large number of people, and he will never mind killing another batch. In the eyes of many people, Yuan Wenchang has gone crazy.

Those who are mad are also mad in what they do.

It's just that now, Yuan Wenchang is sitting on the throne that symbolizes the world, and his face has long lost his usual perseverance. The face, which was originally as hard as a rock, had already been beaten to pieces, like yellow mud soaked in water, as ugly as it was. And the unstoppable gray hair on the temples reminds very clearly:

He is already an old man!

Yuan Wenchang sat on the throne, as if he was going to sit on it forever. But his right hand was trembling slightly, and he was clutching a secret letter in his hand.

This letter was sent to the capital in a special way, and the content of the letter was urgent, and it was about the attack on Yangzhou by the Rui Shi army.

This matter was something that Yuan Wenchang never thought of anyway.

The Mengyuan army was under the Wuling Pass, the backyard caught fire again, and a sense of sadness and sorrow that was powerless to return to the sky rolled into his heart, and Yuan Wenchang shouted violently: "Why is God unfair? I hate it......

shouted, and suddenly a mouthful of blood spurted out.
