Chapter 736
Chapter Seventy-Eight

But it was said that Wei Hong and his brothers rushed to the outskirts of Zhenjiang with the luggage, and the two brothers were still muttering, saying that the prince must be worrying too much, a hundred thousand troops surrounded a small town of Zhenjiang, what else could go wrong?
Brother Wei Hong hadn't finished speaking for a long time, when the scout he sent came back like the wind, and reported angrily, "The army has been defeated, and it is already in utter disintegration!"

The Wei brothers turned pale in shock, and Wei Hong lost his voice and said, "Just kidding! It took only a while to lose!"

"You little one dares to make such a joke!" The scout pointed forward and couldn't help trembling: "The defeated army is about to retreat..."

Hearing this, Wei Hu set up an awning and looked into the distance, and seeing the smoke and dust rising, he couldn't help gnashing his teeth and said: "Don't worry about it, hurry up and form an array to meet the enemy!"

A little different from common sense, the army that escorted luggage since ancient times is not a miscellaneous general, but the most brave and tenacious army in the army. Only in this way can the lifeline of the army be protected to the greatest extent.Under the command of the Wei brothers, they are even veterans of the Tian Cewei of the King of Han Army. After getting the order, they formed a car formation with the fastest speed, armed with guns and bows, and ready to fight!
At the same time as the formation of the formation was completed, the King of Han army also retreated. Seeing those headless flies about to crash into the formation, the Wei brothers stood on the van and shot and killed a group of officers and soldiers who ran unconscious. Finally, he finally managed to sort out the chaotic swarm of King Han's army, let them withdraw from both sides of the car formation, and then regroup behind the car formation.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, when the clues are figured out, the rout soldiers at the back will naturally do what the front did, and the Wei brothers heaved a sigh of relief, and looked up at the prince's army chasing after them!
The two brothers laughed strangely, and beckoned them to just let the horse come over!

Xu Huaiqing was also battle-tested, so of course he would not waste his precious cavalry.Knowing that he couldn't get any cheap money, he spat hard, laughed a few times, turned his horse's head and left.

The soldiers of the prince's army also followed his example, laughed for a while, turned their horses and withdrew.

The laughter drifted to the ears of the officers and soldiers of the King of Han Army, it was so ear-piercing, so embarrassing...

Seeing the enemy retreat, instead of being happy, the Wei brothers turned dark and looked at Song Hu, who was ashamed, and said, "Your Majesty, you did a good job!"

Song Hu wanted to cry, but he couldn't figure out how he could lose so quickly and be so aggrieved!He was extremely depressed, coupled with the fatigue of running for his life all the way, his eyes went dark, and he passed out...

Xu Cheng and others were receiving the disdainful eyes of the soldiers, and they were very envious when they saw Song Hu faint.Xin said: "This method is good, but it's a pity that we can't take the medicine according to the prescription..." Indeed, if everyone fainted like dumplings, it would be a joke.

.

In that room, Xue Huan's army had already joined forces with Erhei and the others. They really didn't know how to express their gratitude to these benefactors, the officers and men of the Right Army Commander's Mansion... so they had to throw Erhei and the others high. Toss it again, even Doctor Wu and Wynn are no exception.

Dr. Wu and Wynn were tossed and tossed by the cheering soldiers. They looked at each other helplessly, really dumbfounded...

At this time, Erhei and Hu Sandao had already returned to Zhenjiang City surrounded by Xue Huan and others. But there is no shadow of Wu Wei...

Mo Wen and the others' hearts sank, they saw how heavy the loss of Erhei's thousand cavalry was, and they thought that Wu Wei wouldn't lose too, right?Among them, Xue Huan was the one who was most anxious, and said to himself, little fat man Wu, don't hang up, second master, I still owe you a huge favor!

"Master Wu, he..." Xue Huan pulled Erhei aside, and asked in a low voice, "Where is it?"

"Already in."

Erhei's answer made Xue Huan heave a sigh of relief, but was very surprised: "Why hasn't he seen His Highness the Crown Prince? Could it be that he was injured?"

"It's an injury." Erhei pointed to his heart and said, "This is an injury..."

"Ah!" Xue Huan was terrified, and hurriedly squeezed Erhei's hand and said, "Where is he, I have to go and see him!"

"Don't worry about it." Erhei withdrew his hand, glared at him and said, "He's fine, it's a heart attack..."

"Oh..." Xue Er was confused, but when he saw the crown prince approaching, he decided not to ask.

"Thanks to you this time!" The prince warmly took Erhei's hand, and said excitedly, "Otherwise, not only will General Cheng's troops fail to return, but the morale of the defenders in the city will also collapse."

"The crown prince has won the award," Er Heihan said with a smile, "We are also blind cats who met a dead mouse. Who knew that Song's surname really belonged to a mouse, as soon as he was scared, he would run away with his head in his arms!"

"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed, and the crown prince also laughed loudly and said, "Anyway, this is a great achievement. When the battle is won, when it comes to rewards for meritorious deeds, there will definitely be rewards!"

"Then thank the crown prince first!" Erhei and the others were extremely happy.

Mo Wen, who was at the side, couldn't be happy, his face was full of worry.Cheng Zheng bumped him with his arm, and said in a low voice, "Be happy, we'll talk about it later."

Mo Wen nodded, trying to force a smile, but found that it was impossible, so he had to give up trying.

.

After carefully instructing everyone to settle down Erhei and Xue Huan and treat the wounded, the prince went back to the government office.

Zhenjiang is located at the junction of the Yangtze River and the Grand Canal. It is an important place for guarding the river, so it is named Zhenjiang.In this dynasty, it belonged to the central government of Zhili. It has a dense population and a lot of business travelers on weekdays. It is one of the largest cities in the south of the Yangtze River.At this moment, unfortunately, it has become a place where the two armies are fighting. The shops on the street are closed, and the merchants are gone. Only the prince's army all over the city is busy preparing.

They knocked on the doors of all the shops and collected all available materials in the city, including food, medicinal materials, cloth, stones, timber, ironware, and bamboo.Fortunately, Zhenjiang is a commercial city with almost everything you need.

All the doctors in the city were recruited, and all the craftsmen were also gathered together. Blacksmiths, carpenters, masons, bricklayers, etc., as well as civilians were also organized to join the team of ordnance manufacturing and city wall reinforcement.From morning till night, every part of the city is in full swing of preparations.

While the people were being driven to work, they became more and more aware that a catastrophe was inevitable...

The heavily guarded Zhenjiang magistrate's yamen became the residence of the prince.The Houya is naturally the residence of the Crown Princess, the emperor's grandsons, and the emperor's granddaughters, and the Qianya is the command post of this war!

As soon as the crown prince returned to the Yamen, he saw Jian Yi waiting there... Jian Shangshu was old and weak, absent from the Fangshan military parade, and luckily escaped Zhu Gaoxu's clutches, and was taken to Zhenjiang by the Fusi of Beizhen.Now he is the prince's literary courage.

Seeing the prince coming back, Jian Yi hurriedly went up to meet him, and was about to speak when he saw the prince waved his hands repeatedly, panting, "Let me rest for a while..."

The prince was weak at first, and after tossing and tossing for a whole day, he was exhausted enough, so he sat down on his buttocks supported by the little eunuch, panting heavily, and after a long rest, he came back to his senses, and asked softly: "What? thing?"

At this time, Jian Yi had already cleared the field, and only he and the crown prince were left in the room, so he said softly: "The thousand cavalry led by Wu Wei are actually escorting serious offenders..."

"What felon?" the prince said slowly.

"The rest of the Jianwen Party." Jian Yi said softly.

"Oh?!" The prince sat up and said with wide eyes, "Really?!"

"Yes." Jian Yi whispered: "I have already visited, one is Jian Wenjun's chief eunuch Huai En, and the other seems to be Wu Tianliang, the imperial physician at that time..."

"Ah!" The prince sat in shock for a moment, then relaxed and said, "Got it..."

"Your Highness, this is a serious matter, we have to proceed with caution..." Jian Yi stared hard and said.He couldn't help but stare at this matter - Wu Tianliang is fine, the old eunuch Huai En is of great value, if he is caught, Emperor Jianwen may have nothing to hide, this is a great contribution!If Wang Xian is allowed to go, a great spy even more terrifying than Ji Gang will appear soon!
This is the civil official group, and it must not be allowed!
"Zhong De didn't mention this matter. I think it's better that I don't know about it." The prince looked at Jian Yi and said, "Since he has his own arrangements, let's pretend we don't know..."

"This..." Jian Yi couldn't help but whispered: "According to reliable sources, Wu Tianliang's son holds an important position in the Fusi of Beizhen!"

"So?" There was a strange expression on the prince's fat face, which seemed to be angry or sad.

Jian Yi said to himself: "So according to the old minister's opinion, it is better to bring these two people here quickly, so as not to make the situation difficult to control..."

"Okay!" The anger on the prince's face finally became clear, and his angry voice trembled a little: "Do you know who saved Xue Huan's tribe today? It's Wu Tianliang's son! I'll just go far away!" The prince slapped the table angrily, the teacup on the table was knocked over by the earthquake, and Jian Yi was startled.

"How about beating the generals to capture the flag, saving the friendly army, and then throwing themselves into the trap?!" The prince said with a dark face: "They are absolutely reliable!"

"Your Highness..." Seeing the Prince's reaction, Jian Yi felt bad. This time, the Prince regarded Wang Xian's family as his relatives.Hey, if only Yang Shiqi was here, he must have an idea.Although Jian Shangshu has no idea, he can't be cowardly at this time, so he can only bite the bullet and say: "The world is easy to change, and people's hearts are unpredictable! Who knows what he has in mind!"

"Shut up!" The prince is a person who understands in his heart. When he sees Jian Yi like this, he knows that he is planning a small calculation. It's embarrassment, the prince couldn't bear it after all, and his tone slowed down: "At the moment of life and death, the autumn of life and death, we have to work hard and think about one place, don't have selfish distractions..."

"Yes!" How could Jian Yi fail to understand the meaning of the crown prince's beating?Knowing that it would be useless to say anything else, he had no choice but to hold back the words and bowed to retreat.

The prince was the only one left in the room, he sat for a long time, sighed quietly after a while, and closed his eyes.
