The two had nothing to do and were drinking tea and chatting in the lobby. One was Zheng Zhilong, the other was Zuo Liangyu, and the other was talking about potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn on the cob. Until the soldiers from outside came in and reported that a grain and grass ship was passing through the river in the north of the city.
, and asked if I wanted to take some screenshots.
These grain ships were loaded with grain and grass sent from Nanjing. In order to support the cross-strait war, Shi Kefa divided the logistics supplies into two waterways. This batch was originally intended for Chizhou, but Xu Hongji asked them to continue westward to supply Lu Daqi Department. Today
Just passing through Dongliu County.
After hearing the news, Chang Yu thought for a while. There were only about twenty people in Dongliu City now. They didn't need any supplies at all. They could just find a rich gentry's house to get food. But the troops at the front did need supplies. He saw it with his own eyes yesterday.
Lu Daqi and Wang Tizhong both traveled lightly and quickly and brought little food and grass, but he also knew that the food and grass in the rear should be almost consumed. After all, nearly 30,000 people had to eat, and the daily consumption was staggering, and this did not include the tens of thousands of Li Yan on the other side.
Fortunately, Li Yan on the other side defeated Anqing City and could at least support himself for more than a month. Otherwise, Nanjing's reserves would have bottomed out immediately.
"Send the order, Nanjing's grain and grass don't have to go through Anqing." Chang Yu called a personal guard and asked him to go to the riverside to deliver a message. Li Muchian frowned and said: "The governor wants to make Wang Tizhong and others self-sufficient, but I'm afraid he won't be able to do it.
These are all what the small town can provide, and even the rebel army's home base may not have much reserves, but with Liu Liangzuo and his troops, there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses."
Chang Yu smiled: "Have you ever seen the governor let the soldiers fight on an empty stomach?"
Li Muxian was startled, then dumbfounded: "Wouldn't the Governor ask Zuo Liangyu to supply... I understand, I understand, your Excellency said before that Zuo Liangyu's reaction will be known within ten days, so it turned out that he was asking
He asks for food. If he gives it, he will arrive within ten days, which means that he dare not disobey the order. Then you can order him to make preparations to recover Jingxiang. If he does not give it, it means that he is still dishonest... Brilliant, wonderful."
.
Chang Yu smiled and said nothing, leaving Li Muxian to make random guesses. When he was about to go to the riverside to take a look at the fleet, before he could leave the city, he saw several horses running towards him, announcing that Gao Jie and Huang Degong were coming!
Oops, Chang Yu was surprised that these two people came on the same boat and arrived safely.
But what are the two of them doing here? Li Muxian guessed that there must be something important to report, perhaps to sue Li Yan, but Chang Yu was sure that the two of them came to An Qingxian to brag about themselves.
coming.
Chang Yu has many fierce generals under his command, but he likes these two the most. Although he has a hot temper and is arrogant and domineering, he is straightforward and not so thoughtful. He is not as scheming as Wu Sangui. He is also brave in battle and dares to fight and kill. The most important thing is
His special admiration and obedience to Chang Yu is absolutely unambiguous.
"Do you still have the game that Kuang Ren hunted?" Chang Yu asked Li Muchian casually.
Kuang Renzhi knew that the little eunuch loved game and would usually stock it up for him, skin it, pickle it and dry it, so he could eat it whenever he wanted.
"There are still a few pheasants and hares." Li Muchian hurried back, and Chang Yu nodded: "Go and invite the cook from last time, and get some jars of good wine. The governor will have a drink with them tonight.
”.
Li Muxian left in a hurry, feeling a little jealous in his heart.
Before Gao Jie and Huang Degong could reach the city gate, they saw Chang Yu galloping on his horse and laughing: "Maybe he provoked Li Yan in Anqing and secretly came to complain." The two people hurried forward to salute: "Long time no see, Lord Governor.
"Anhao" means that Gao Jie and Chang Yu are brothers, but in public, he also has a sense of respect and inferiority, but he doesn't dare to say that he is a good brother or something.
"Li Yan is so busy right now that he doesn't have time to talk to me. We just miss the governor too much, and it's not far away so we came to visit him and ask for a drink," Gao Jie said with a grin.
Chang Yu exclaimed: "A place as big as Anqing can't afford you drinking." Huang Degong quickly waved his hand: "There is an order in the army not to drink alcohol, Li Yan is very strict about it."
"Put it down. Li Yan came back and said that the city was broken and you went into the city early the next morning and got yourself drunk. Uncle Jingnan, do you want us to ask someone from Gongziying to ask?" Chang Yu rolled his eyes, and Huang Degong was embarrassed.
He touched his head and smiled stupidly: "False accusation, absolutely false accusation."
Chang Yu welcomed the two people into the city while joking. It was almost dusk at this time, and the people farming outside the city were returning to the city one after another. When they met the three people on the street, they couldn't help but exclaimed: "Hey, those two must be generals.
Look how majestic that momentum is..."
Gao Jie and Huang Degong were happy after hearing this, but they muttered: "This small broken city is not as big as a palm."
"Although the city is small, it is very comfortable." Chang Yu said indifferently: "Every day I get up and go to the riverside in the north of the city to go for a run and watch the fishing. It's so cool."
It's so hot, but here you have such a quiet time."
Chang Yu rolled his eyes and said, "Why are these peaceful years? Aren't the governors all carrying their own burdens? When our family fought a bloody battle in Chizhou, raided Dongliu County, and rushed to Zhide in the rain, you two were not still in Anqing.
I feel comfortable."
The two of them laughed: "That's not entirely true. We seem to be comfortable now, but in fact it is a bloody storm. The governor still doesn't know what happened in Anqing today." Then Liu Zeqing's servant stabbed Cheng Niandong Lingqian to death in revenge.
As I said, Huang Degong only knew the surface of this matter, but Gao Jie was involved from beginning to end and knew a lot of the inside story. But since Huang Degong was on the sidelines, he naturally couldn't say much.
But even if he didn't say it, Chang Yu already knew that he and Li Yan planned the killing of Liu Zeqing and Cheng Niandong. He was a little surprised to kill Liu Zeqing, because he originally planned to plan it himself, but Li Yan did it for him. As for the killing
He didn't care about Cheng Niandong at all. When he sat in his position, he only needed to give orders and someone else would plan for him. He didn't need to see the process, only the results.
As night fell, a banquet started in the Yamen. A table full of delicacies and the best wine in the city made Huang Degong and Gao Jie salivate. Chang Yu's host and guest were naturally Li Muchian, and there was also a man covered in injuries but
Wuzhong, who has to serve at the table, really loves to drink. Logically speaking, as a personal waiter, he is not qualified to serve at the table, but Chang Yu never talks about these conventional rules, and Huang Degong and Gao Jie also particularly respect Wuzhong as a person.
He didn't even care about martial arts and martial arts. Instead, he thought Li Muchian was redundant.
The four of them chatted while eating and drinking, listening to Huang Degong's talk about what he had seen along the way south, and Gao Jie's talk about how to break through Cheng Niandong's blockade. They ate and listened with gusto. Unknowingly, it was already late at night, but their interest was even stronger.
"When things are over here, I plan to regain Xi'an after autumn. You two are willing to go together."
With a bang, Huang Degong jumped up to attack the case and said: "Unknown!" Chang Yu hurriedly raised his glass: "It's our family that had an unexpected incident. Don't blame Mr. Jingnan." Huang Degong glared angrily and said, "Uncle Jingnan?" Another shout: "Uncle Jingnan?"
See outside!"
"Okay, okay, let's punish ourselves by having three drinks." Chang Yu knew that this guy drank a little too much.
"I, Huang Chuangzi, have been fighting for decades since I was a small soldier, but I have never been as happy as fighting with the little governor these past few months." Huang Degong slurred his words and kept waving his hands around: "Soldier
One’s duty is to fight, and fighting means to have fun. Do you think that’s right? High, high, high..."
He didn't even say Gao Jie's name for a long time. Chang Yu smiled slightly and looked at Gao Jie, who was flushed and drunk: "Brother Gao, what about you?"
When Gao Jie heard him call him brother, he immediately sobered up and couldn't hide his joy: "We brothers are of the same mind and don't talk about two different families. I'll fight wherever you point me. Even if I'm the only one left, I'll still be there."
No excuses... Besides, I'll go to Xi'an to fight against the intruders, hehe, if they don't go, I will go too, brother, you know!"
Everyone laughed and understood.
Chang Yu sighed and raised his glass and stood up: "Let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. Among the generals, only two of them are favored and trusted by our family. In the future, we will rely on the two generals to help us in our future expeditions to increase the prestige of the Ming Dynasty.
Here’s a toast to both of you.”
After hearing what he said, Gao Jie and Huang Degong quickly stood up and raised their glasses in return and drank it all in one gulp. However, Huang Degong couldn't help but joke: "The governor knows that we like to hear good things, so he deliberately poured me the soul-stirring soup. Who in the army knows that you are the most trustworthy person?"
Li Yan".
Chang Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Li Yan is careful, resourceful and upright. He is a genius, but he has a quiet personality and few desires. It is difficult for us to work together but not to have personal relationships." After hearing what he said, everyone felt the same. Li Yan is a man of great talent.
He has always acted in a business-like manner. He never shares his concerns with anyone. He is a person who hides his private feelings and even emotions very deeply. He cannot get along with other people and does not show his heart to anyone.
This may be the difference between Confucian generals and ordinary generals, but in the eyes of others, he is just pretentious.
"Ignore Li Yan, I have to say something. If you go to Xi'an, even if you lift me, you have to be carried there." Wuzhong said with a groan. Chang Yu's eyes narrowed: "You are a cripple. I will carry you over there to do this."
What?"
Wu Zhong was furious after hearing this: "Crippled? Believe it or not, I will still knock you down now..."
Oh, I'll go, you can't rebel, everyone is shouting.
