For the next period of time, Zhao Yu was always busy.

Taking advantage of the shock of this assassination, he carried out a relatively deep change in the entire structure of the governor's office, which may have hurt some vested interests, but they were all covered up because of the current tense situation in Chuzhou and Zhao Yu's unparalleled popularity among the people.

The newly established lecture hall was not set up in Chuzhou, out of long-term planning, Zhao Yu set up the location of the lecture hall in Jiangning, which can now be regarded as the forefront of Chuzhou.

After presiding over the first day of ceremonies, Zhao Yu quietly left Chuzhou and rushed to the camp of the captive army in Jiangning. In addition to Yin Tianzheng, who was in charge of the affairs of the martial arts hall, and Shen Wansan, who was newly admitted to the governor's mansion as a staff officer, there were also Wei Yixiao and Yan Yuan, who commanded the secret camp of the Five Elements Banner.

Although the captive army has been trapped under Jiqing City for a long time, its morale is still strong, which shows that Xu Da has led the troops well. After Zhao Yu entered the camp, Xu Da first reported to him the changes in the military situation in the recent period, and then talked about the results of the contact with Fang Guozhen in the two Zhejiang, and said: "Fang Guozhen has been entrenched in the two Zhejiang provinces for several years, and he still has some achievements to protect the territory and the people. It's just that he doesn't have great ambitions, and he has a lot of thoughts about being in a safe corner. Because there are many large ships under his command, when he is in power, he will show off, and when he shows weakness, he will let the boat go to sea. This Yuan people recruited him, and it also took a lot of effort. Because this person is tightly choking the sea lane, the ship of the Yuan people transporting grain must rely on his snort to go along. Therefore, this person was extremely dissatisfied with Zhang Shicheng, who was above him after the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, and always had a disobedience to the Yuan Court. If Yang Wanzhi, the person who eases the relationship between the two sides, can be successfully eliminated, the two sides are very likely to attack each other. ”

After Zhao Yu heard this, he asked, "Is there a harvest from the secret camp that went to investigate Yang Wanzhi's whereabouts and behavior?"

Xu Da nodded and said, "Yang Wanzhi has a bad reputation. was originally the leader of the Miao People's Volunteer Army, but later betrayed his comrades to think that he was promoted to the rank of rank and took refuge in the Yuan Court. After becoming a high-ranking Tartar official, he became arrogant and arrogant, and there was a lot of friction with his colleagues. Preferably, it is prudent. This man lived in the army for a long time and rarely entered the city. However, the brothers in the secret camp found out that he had recently raised an outer chamber in Yangzhou City, and occasionally went to private meetings. If you want to assassinate this person, this is a good opportunity. It's just that both sides of the river are besieged by the captive army. The situation has become extremely dire. Yangzhou City was operated by the Tartars for several years. It's not easy to sneak into the city properly. ”

Shen Wansan suddenly said behind Zhao Yu: "If you only arrange people to enter Yangzhou City, I have some way." I still have some properties in Yangzhou City, and I can arrange someone to take care of them. Hide your hands in it. ”

Zhao Yu heard this. The spirit was lifted. said: "Without further ado, arrange it now." The two of us went to Yangzhou with the Bat King, and it was enough to assassinate just one Yang Wan. ”

Xu Da saw that Zhao Yu had made up his mind. Knowing that he couldn't dissuade him, he said, "Then I'll restrain my subordinates first and cooperate with the governor's assassination plan." ”

Yangzhou Mansion, the richest place in Jiangbei, is also an important town operated by the Yuan Court for many years. Zhang Shicheng rose from Jiangbei and occupied Gaoyou and Taizhou, but he could only look at Yangzhou and sigh.

To the east of Jiqing, the waterways of the Great River have been blocked by people from all sides. Zhao Yu and Wei Yi crossed the river with a smile and rushed to Yangzhou City by detouring to Jiangdu. This time, what they used to cover up was a batch of grain that Shen Wansan urgently raised, and in the chaotic season, Yangzhou, a big port and heavy city, had more demand for food. Under the cover of the grain caravan, their team arrived in Yangzhou without any danger.

Shen Wansan is a commercial firm in the world, and there is also a lot of business in Yangzhou City, which is managed by his family under a pseudonym, and it is a time-honored shop in the city. In this team of transporting grain, except for Zhao Yu and Wei Yixiao, the rest of the people have really made a living in Yangzhou for many years. They also didn't know the true identities of Zhao Yu and Wei Yixiao, they only knew that they were a pair of uncles and nephews who went to Yangzhou for medical treatment, and they went together because they had some relationship with their own owners.

Wei Yixiao smiled at this person, who was already riddled with a vicious illness without pretending, and after reining in the essence of his eyes and the true qi around him, he was even more dying, but it was not suspicious. Zhao Yu was dressed in rough clothes and short brown, with thick eyebrows, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and everyone was smiling honestly, a simple young man in the countryside.

In order to guard against the enemy attack of the assassins in Chuzhou, the south of Yangzhou City has been blocked by the Miao army under the command of Yang Wanzhi. These Miao soldiers did not dress like the Han Chinese, and they were also very different from the Mongols, and what made Zhao Yu quite curious was that each Miao soldier carried a bag behind his back, some bulging and some shriveled, but it was somewhat similar to the bag used by the beggar disciples to identify themselves. After asking others, it turned out that although Yang Wanzhi's department fought bravely, but the discipline was lax, and every place guarded, it would be looted, and the pocket was used by the soldiers to dress up and harvest. Just look at the appearance of passers-by who are afraid of the Miao army guarding the intersection like a snake and scorpion, you can see how bad these troops are in Yangzhou.

The Shen family's caravan traveled through various checkpoints, and the people in charge had to offer tea money to the leader of the soldiers, so as to avoid being troubled and let them go smoothly. Although there is money to open the way, accidents are still inevitable. While passing through a certain checkpoint, a Miao soldier suddenly waved a steel knife and cut the axle of a grain truck, and then laughed proudly, shouting in a local dialect that others could not understand, but his companions behind him also laughed together.

Wei Yixiao's face was gloomy, and he leaned into Zhao Yu's ear and said, "This Miao man said that our grain cart is broken, so you can stay here with them." They helped fix the car and send it to us. These shameless bastards are clearly greedy for a truckload of hundreds of catties of grain!"

Zhao Yu saw that these Miao Jun were openly asking for bribes, and they even directly took advantage of them, and they were really insatiable. With such bad military discipline, it is no wonder that Yang Wanzhi's reputation in Jiangnan is extremely foul. And a grain store guy beside him also scolded angrily in a low voice: "I don't thank Baoqing Yang in life, and I don't complain about Taizhou Zhang in death! This Yang Hussar is insatiable from top to bottom, and even Zhang Shicheng's anti-thief is not as good." It's a pity that the captive army can't defeat Jianglai, get rid of this Kou army that has brought disaster to the country and the people!"

Zhao Yu and Wei Yi glanced at each other with a smile, and their eyes showed a strong killing intent. Even if it is not to solve the dilemma of Jiqing, getting rid of Yang Wanzhi can be regarded as a righteous act for the benefit of one party.

The grain team entered the city through the north gate.

Different from the south where the people are not able to make a living, the northern city of Yangzhou finally still has a few traces of prosperity through the city. There was a constant flow of people on the avenue, there was a lot of traffic, and there was no Miao army with corrupt military discipline to block the road and ask for bribes.

Because the south of the city had to fortify the wall and clear the field to guard against the Chuzhou army, most of the people in Hecheng were driven to the north city, and there was no effective control and restraint, and the chaos was incomparable.

Unlike Chuzhou, which has only flourished in recent years, Yangzhou City has a long history of prosperity, and it has been prosperous in all dynasties. After the Mongols went south, they also attached great importance to this Han Xiongcheng and operated it for many years. In the city, you can see many Mongolian nobles in fresh clothes, angry horses, and many colorful and wealthy merchants during their activities.

Walking on the lively streets, Zhao Yu thought that he was on the streets of Dadu again, but there was no joy in his heart to relive the old scenes. The prosperity of Yangzhou City seems to have little to do with the Han people who grew up in Yangzhou, and all the arrogant people on the streets are either Mongols or Semu people, but the southerners have little confidence in their faces. Even the high-rollers who carry their blades with their blades seem to be weak in the face of the naturally superior Mongolian nobles, and they avoid their edge.

This Xiongcheng, which records the scenery of countless Han people, is now a place where foreign countries show off their might, and the situation is caused by the times, which is suffocating.

Shen Wansan's grain shop is located on the most prosperous commercial street in the city, and the steward who takes care of the business here has already received a secret letter from the proprietor, and has prepared a shelter for Zhao Yu and Wei Yixiao in the morning, which is a very unusual dwelling. This dwelling is backed by the most famous fat powder land in Yangzhou City, and there is a mixture of fish and dragons between a wall, which is convenient for action, and once there is a change, you can also quickly abscond.

After settling down, because Wei Yixiao wanted to pretend to be Shen Zhen, Zhao Yu walked on the streets of Yangzhou under the pretext of grabbing medicine and asking for a doctor, and carefully observed along the road, looking for the sign left by the secret camp of the Five Elements Banner that sneaked into the hands of people first. searched all the way, and unconsciously walked into the back alley of a green building.
