The rolling Yangtze River was divided into three strands in Jiujiang. In addition to the main trunk still flowing from west to east, another strand went north and went back to the main trunk. Another strand went straight south and poured into Poyang Lake, thus dividing Jiangdong, Jiangxi, Jiangzuo and Jiangyou.

As the governor of Caojiang, Yuan Jixian stationed in Jiujiang and supervised the Yangtze River defense. At this moment, he was trapped in Zuo Liangyu's camp. He still had hope for Zuo Liangyu's character, and he did not believe that he would rush to rebel. However, Zuo Liangyu also believed in the "robbery of clothes and belts" he received, and insisted on serving the king according to the order and abide by the loyalty and righteousness.

If someone who doesn't know Zuo Liangyu's past looks at him, he would not only not think that General Zuo was a traitor, but also admired his loyalty and righteousness so much that he was full of admiration.

After Wuchang fell, the left army fell into internal division. Some wanted to recruit troops to retake Wuchang, while others insisted on advancing eastward to capture Nanjing. Deputy General Ma Shixiu refused to go ashore to respond, nor did he express his defiance with Chu Town, but just controlled the navy to surround the river. At this moment, Zuo Liangyu had an old disease and could not manage the director.

His son Zuo Menggeng held the seal of the general who suppressed the bandits, but he had no talent to lead the troops. Even though he received the support of some Zuozhen elders, he was still in a dilemma.

On this day, Yuan Jixian looked out from the river and almost had the idea of ​​committing suicide by jumping into the river. Suddenly, a small boat passed through the thin river fog and broke into Yuan Jixian's vision.

There was a Taoist in a big red Taoist robe at the bow of the boat. It seemed that he also saw Yuan Jixian standing on the shore, holding his fists from afar.

Taoists are precious to Qing, Zi, Xuan and Huang, and there are not many Taoists who like to wear vermilion Taoist robes. Yuan Jixian couldn't help but shout, "Qingzhu!"

"Ming Gong!" Fu Shan responded loudly.

Yuan Jixian walked quickly towards the small pier by the river and whispered loudly: "Don't you be fine when Qingzhu is here!"

Fu Shan didn't say anything, but just whistled loudly. He replied to his boss with the romantic style of Wei and Jin Dynasties, which was obviously very happy.

Yuan Jixian, who had been boring for a long time, finally saw a bright color in his dark life. He did not feel too difficult for the soldiers of the Zuo Army who were ordered to "protect" immediately afterwards.

The boat was getting closer and closer to the shore, only separated by Yingying and a single water. Both of them had clearly seen each other's beard and the long-lost expectations on their faces. Fu Shan really hoped to step by step by the water like his master and hand over the collected news to Yuan Jixian.

Yuan Jixian also felt that the boatman was so slow that he was heart-wrenching.

Finally, the boat and the dock were only two steps long. Fu Shan bent down and grabbed a bag from the board, jumped over the river and landed on the dock. The boards soaked in the river water all year round immediately made a squeaking sound, as if they would be cut off by this thin Taoist priest at any time.

Yuan Jixian strode forward, held Fu Shan, who was about to salute him, and asked excitedly: "What's the news about Jiangdong?"

Fu Shan gently lifted the bag in his hand and said, "Ming Gong, this is not a place for deep discussion."

Yuan Jixian was also a senior in moderation, so he immediately gathered his excitement: "Let me follow me."

The two walked straight to the house where they were temporarily staying. The nearby area was already the territory of the Zuo Army, and you could see secret mailers everywhere. Fu Shan crossed the river north before Zuo Liangyu arrived. At this moment, he couldn't help but be shocked: Zuo Liangyu's strong soldiers and horses are so strong that he can't help but have some other thoughts! Yuan Gong protects him. Because of his trust in Yuan Gong, he said more in front of the crown prince. What if he misses the state affairs?

"The Chu Town Camp is located here?" Fu Shan asked.

Yuan Jixian nodded and said, "Chu Town only has one army in Jiujiang, with about 30,000."

Fu Shan is a wise man. He knew that even if Zuo Liangyu wanted to attack Jiangdong, he would not leave all his territory. He launched a large army invasion in the east. The Jiangnan Shilin often called for Zuo Liangyu's army of 20,000, which was so scared that he was so scared that he was really a scholar's opinion. Think about it from another perspective, if an ordinary person has a 100 tael of silver in his family, would he buy all the rice and grain? Don't you have to buy some cloth to make some clothes? Don't you reserve some preparations for writing? Don't you visit relatives and friends for socializing?

But then I thought about it, it would be difficult to deal with this 30,000 bandit-like crowd. How many people are there in Huang Degong's hands?

Fu Shan's heart sank slightly, and finally he was no longer desperate because of the news in his hand.

Yuan Jixian was already almost desperate. He persuaded Zuo Liangyu with the righteousness of the court, but Zuo Liangyu used the "robbery of clothes and belts" to persuade him. He wanted to suppress Zuo Liangyu with his official position, but there were several supervisors who were cheated in Zuo Liangyu's hands. What was the point of fighting Governor Jiang? As for the use of military force... Jiang Dubiao camp was only three or five hundred weak and weak soldiers, and Zuo Liangyu was too lazy to look at it with his eyes.

The two entered the house, but Zuo Bing did not follow in. However, the house was surrounded by Zuo Bing and was under house arrest. When they arrived at the study, Yuan Jixian did not invite Fu Shan to sit down, and asked about the situation in the court without any hesitation.

In this era when the message remains unchanged, facing strange rumors, they can only rely on their personal IQ. To this day, there are still people who don’t know that Beijing has fallen, and some people say that Li Zicheng is not dead, and some people believe that Chongzhen is detaining 37 million ingots of 500 taels of Zhenkuyin per ingot... Well, even if this is four hundred years, it will still be believed.

"The crown prince is absolutely unrestrained." Fu Shan said with confidence: "The scholars from the north and south of the Yangtze River sent back to their hometowns to serve as officials. They all had ministry documents and were given a remark. The prime minister and the heavenly officials were all old men and all held power. Just like when they were in Beijing, how could it be said that the crown prince held the emperor hostage?"

When Yuan Jixian heard this, his heart was completely settled and said, "I have been thinking about it all these days, fortunately I am a friend!" Even the person who was beaten up would inevitably be shaken under the long-term pressure, and even collapsed. Yuan Jixian really got rid of the shackles in his neck at this time and said firmly: "Since there is no such thing as a robbery, I will sit here and not let the left thieves commit chaos!"

"Ming Gong." Fu Shan gently patted the bag on the table: "This can be done with the last try. If Zuo Liangyu is determined to make trouble, the students will protect Ming Gong and cross the river alone."

Yuan Jixian was not a man who was not a man of ancient times. He nodded and read the news that Fu Shan brought back from Nanjing. Some of these news were cut out from the original newspaper, some were handwritten by brushes, and some of them also had small notes written in charcoal. Although it was complicated, it was sorted out by Fu Shan clearly.

Before Fu Shan set out for Jiujiang, the court had already declared the order to kill Lu Jiude and Gao Qiqian, and the charge was to spread rumors. As for Qian Qianyi's side, it was difficult to distinguish between true and false. Some people said that he had issued an imperial prison; some people said that he took the initiative to surrender to the crown prince and sold Yuan Shu; some people said that he fled to Jiujiang and became Zuo Liangyu's military advisor... Of course, Yuan Jixian knew that this was obviously nonsense.

"According to the Crown Prince, there are only these people in Jiangnan, and Lu and Gao Erqi are the first." Fu Shan said: "When Zuo Liangyu saw that he was introverted, he should have some awareness."

Killing Lu, the second eunuch of high school, does not prove that the crown prince is a loyal minister and a filial son, but from a military perspective, without such an important inner support, even if Zuo Liangyu really brought his family to the city of Nanjing, he might not be able to break through the city gate of Nanjing. Because every step he took, someone stared at him behind him.

From Wuchang to Nanjing, the Dabie Mountains thousands of miles away are the place where mountain masters use their skills.

Yuan Jixian was very excited when he saw this. If this was not enough to let Zuo Liangyu retreat, he would have to escape from here first and Xu Tu counterattack. Fortunately, his powers included Anqing, Nanzhi and other places, and losing Jiujiang was not considered a place of trust.

"Qingzhu, you can rest here first, and let me talk about it when I have seen Zuozhen."

"Ming Gong, don't delay it. If it fails, we will leave immediately."

Yuan Jixian nodded, Bao Hao's news brought by Fu Shan came out straight away.

Zuo Liangyu is similar to Mao Wenlong, and they are both legendary. He died of both his parents since childhood. He was raised by his uncle. He was skilled in martial arts and had extraordinary arm strength. He was able to shoot left and right bows, but he had never read books. In his early years, he joined the army in Liaodong. He was in his twenties and became a guerrilla in his twenties. Later, he became the Dusi and stationed in Ningyuanwei.

This history alone looks quite like the protagonist of later novels.

Later, Zuo Liangyu joined the Liaodong Mutiny in the first year of Chongzhen and was dismissed and was waiting for investigation. Finally, after Yuan Chonghuan's anger was extinguished, he was assigned to Cao Wenzhao for office.

In the fourth year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji attacked Daling River, and You Shiwei recommended Zuo Liangyu to go for assistance. After the war, Hou Xun recommended Zuo Liangyu as his deputy general and transferred to the Central Plains to suppress bandits, starting Zuo Liangyu's glorious life known as "Chu Town".

Zuo Liangyu is no longer the servant who serves Hou Xun. Now even a member of the country like Yuan Jixian must report to see Zuo Liangyu.

Yuan Jixian was in Zuo Liangyu's office and was cold in the tea. Finally, he saw Zuo Menggeng stepping out slowly, and a hint of anger appeared on his face.

"Duke Yuan, my father is seriously ill and it is really difficult to get up. He ordered his nephew to come and wait for the order." Zuo Menggeng stepped forward and bowed, and he was quite polite as he spoke.

Yuan Jixian was relieved a little, and pushed his bag forward, saying, "Zuo Shuai was sure that he had a robbery, but everyone in the world knew that it was just a rumor spread by two eunuchs. Now we have to think about how to eliminate this disaster."

Zuo Menggeng was skeptical and asked his personal soldiers to take the bag and read it. He was not good at writing, but he could at least understand the general idea.

"This mansion has spread to the world?" Zuo Menggeng asked.

Yuan Jixian could not tell the difference between Huangming News and Dibao, and thought it was the same thing, so he nodded and said yes.

"Director Yuan waited for a while, my nephew went to report to my father to know." Zuo Menggeng bowed again, said goodbye and left.

Yuan Jixian had the belief that he would become a good man after he failed, so he was not in a hurry. He picked up the teacup and took a sip. He felt that the ice was so bad that he hurt his teeth. He frowned and put down the teacup.

Soon, a sudden riot came from the inner house, followed by a loud cry!

Yuan Jixian knew something had changed, so he quickly got up and looked inside, but saw Zuo Menggeng rushing out crying and shouting to him: "My father is gone!"
Chapter completed!
