Chapter 67: The Important Town of Ezhou (II)

After Dugu Jian and Zhang Linxin left Han Shizhong's camp, they worked hard along the way, slept in the open air, and drove for five days in a row, and finally came to the city of Ezhou. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ezhou is located at the confluence of the Yangtze River and the Han River, the shape of the dwelling is important, the control of the Xiangchuan River, the side of the Han Dynasty, is really an important town of the past dynasties. After Emperor Gaozong crossed to the south, Ezhou became more important due to the needs of the war with the Jin people. Since Yue Fei garrisoned here, he has practiced soldiers and horses every day, and just waiting for the edict of the Northern Expedition, he will wave his troops north to recover the Central Plains.

The east of the city stretches for dozens of miles, and as far as the eye can see, there are all the camps of the Yue family's army, and the soldiers and horses under Yue Fei are practicing in an orderly manner, and the sound of shouting and killing is endless. Kenshin and the two crossed the river by boat and got off at a riverside ferry called Poplar Clamp.

Zhang Linxin looked at the situation here carefully, but found that most of the people passing by were soldiers of the Yue family wearing military uniforms, boats moored at the ferry, and half of them were used in the army. This is the first time they have seen this kind of thing, even in Han Shizhong in Chuzhou, there is no village or town ferry that can see so many soldiers.

The two of them stopped a group of soldiers who were patrolling at random, and asked the leading captain: "This big brother, dare to ask, where is Marshal Yue's camp?"

The captain looked at the two men and asked suspiciously, "I wonder who these two are?"

Dugu Jian hurriedly explained: "In the Xia Hengshan faction Dugu Jian, this is Zhang Linxin, the daughter of Lord Zhang Feng Zhang of Lin'an, we have something important to ask to see Marshal Yue." ”

The captain should have been a soldier who had participated in the suppression of the Dongting Lake bandit rebellion, and when he heard Dugu Jian report to his home, he asked with some surprise: "Are you the Dugu Shaoxia of the Hengshan faction?" I really didn't expect to meet you here, the matter of the respected teacher and the young man helping our marshal in Dongting Lake is well known in our army, and the big guys admire you very much, and it is really surprising that I met the young man here today." As he spoke, he hurriedly beckoned to a few soldiers behind him and said, "Come on, come on, look, this is the Dugu young man of the Hengshan faction who I told you about saving the marshal, come and pay a visit." ”

When those soldiers heard this, they all hurriedly bowed to Dugu Jian, and Dugu Jian hurriedly returned the salute, and then asked the captain: "This eldest brother, we really have a very important matter to ask to see Marshal Yue, I wonder if the eldest brother can take us to see him?"

The captain scratched his head and replied: "Dugu Shaoxia, I also want to take you over, but we are from the Youyi Army, not the soldiers and horses in the camp, and we are still patrolling at this time, and we are duty, so it is inconvenient to leave." As he spoke, he pointed to the road to the west and continued: "Young man, you see, along the main road to the west, about twenty miles, the marshal's camp is at the foot of the Yellow Crane Mountain. At that time, as long as the young man announces his name, there will naturally be guards to lead the young man to see the marshal. ”

"So, thank you big brother. Dugu Jian nodded and thanked him. Then he and Zhang Linxin got on the horse and went along the road to the west.

The horses of the two were fast, and it didn't take long for them to come to the camp of the Yue family army at the foot of the mountain. The soldier guarding the door raised his gun horizontally and shouted to the two, "Please stop, you two, I don't know what is going on with you?"

Dugu Jian clenched his fists and said: "In the Xiaheng Mountain faction, Dugu Jian has something important to ask to see Marshal Yue. The guard looked at Dugu Jian and said in surprise: "It turned out to be Dugu Shaoxia, we have all heard of you." It's just that the marshal is not in the camp today, I don't know if there is anything important about the young man?"

"Marshal Yue is not in the camp? I don't know where he went? Which general is still in the camp?"

"Oh, the marshal followed General Niu and General Wang to the north to check the terrain. Now only the major general remained in the battalion. ”

"Major General?

"Exactly. ”

Dugu Jian was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately said: "That's great, I also have a relationship with General Yue Xiao, and I would like to ask you to say goodbye, Dugu Jian is waiting here." ”

The guard agreed: "Okay, please ask Dugu Shaoxia to wait here." He turned and walked towards the tent. A short time later, a young general in a white robe walked over. Dugu Jian saw that it was Yue Yun, the eldest son of Yue Fei, who had sat at the same table with him in Tanzhou.

I saw Yue Yunzheng striding over, and after seeing Dugu Jian, a smile appeared on his face, and he shouted loudly: "Brother Dugu, it turns out to be really you!" Dugu Jian also held Yue Yun's hands tightly and said with a smile: "Yes, I haven't seen you for a few years, and the young general is becoming more and more majestic." ”

Yue Yun saw Zhang Linxin beside Dugu Jian again, "Who is this?" Dugu Jian hurriedly replied: "Oh, this is Zhang Linxin, the daughter of Zhang Feng Zhang, the commander of the palace in front of the palace. ”

"Oh, it turns out that Ling Zun is Lord Zhang, Yue Yun has seen Miss Zhang. Yue Yun hurriedly bowed. Zhang Linxin also hurriedly returned the salute: "I've seen the young general!"

After the three of them finished greeting, Yue Yun raised his hand and said, "After talking for so long, please come to the tent and talk about it." Please!" Yue Yun led the way in front and walked into the big tent with the two of Kenshin. The three of them sat down, and Yue Yun asked, "I wonder if the two of you have something important to do when you come here to see your father?"

Dugu Jian replied: "Young General, here's the thing......" he said, and he told Yue Yun all about the conspiracy of the Five Color Sect and the Jin people, as well as the causes and consequences.

"How can this be reasonable! What a vicious golden dog! What a vicious five-color sect!" Yue Yun slapped the case and shouted loudly. Dugu Jian hurriedly persuaded: "Don't worry, young general, although their plan is vicious, it has been discovered by us, as long as Marshal Yue is more careful, presumably their conspiracy will not succeed." ”

Yue Yun nodded, "Okay, I will remind my father to take more precautions, and thank Brother Dugu and Miss Zhang for traveling thousands of miles to come to the interrogation, Yue Yun is grateful." ”

"The young general doesn't need to be polite, as the people of the Great Song Dynasty, this is what we should do. Since this matter has been informed to the major general, then we can put down a big stone in our hearts and leave!" Dugu Jian stood up and said. Zhang Linxin also stood up and said goodbye to Yue Yun.

Yue Yun hurriedly replied: "Brother Dugu is slow, my father will be able to return to the camp tomorrow, you and he haven't seen each other for several years, if Brother Dugu leaves like this, I'm afraid that my father will blame me again." So I'd like to ask you two to meet your father?"

Dugu Jian and Zhang Linxin glanced at each other, nodded and said, "Since that's the case, it's okay, let's come to see Marshal Yue again tomorrow!"

Yue Yun sent the two out of the camp, looked at Dugu Jian and said: "Brother Dugu is really righteous and thin, the Great Song Dynasty needs heroes like you! I am thinking, if we can kill the enemy side by side on the battlefield in the future, it will be a happy life!"

Dugu Jian replied with a smile: "The young general is really heroic! In the future, if he can fight with the young general to kill the enemy, drive out the Tartars, and recover our great rivers and mountains, Dugu Jian will not be in vain!"

The girl looked at the two of them laughing there, and was a little dissatisfied in her heart, and hurriedly followed: "And me! I also want to be like my godmother and Marshal Mu Guiying, and I don't let women shave their eyebrows!"

Dugu Jian and Yue Yun looked at her and said in unison, "Okay, I must not forget you!" Dugu Jian pulled the girl and said to Yue Yun: "Young General, then we will leave first, and we will come to see Marshal Yue tomorrow!"

Yue Yun arched his hand and said, "Okay, the two of you go slowly, Yue Yun will be here tomorrow to wait for the two masters!" After speaking, Dugu Jian and Zhang Linxin turned around and left the camp and headed for Ezhou City. (To be continued.) )
