Chapter 392 Slander

Outside Linhai City, a day ago, the place where the Mingzhou Army camp was still a camp, had already changed its owner. Outside the camp, the clearings near the riverside were filled with dejected Mingzhou Army prisoners. On the temporary pier, many Mingzhou Army soldiers repaired the damaged ships and trestles under the supervision of the Zhenhai Army. Chen Zhang stood in the open space in front of the tent. There was a piece of rag in the open space not far away. He walked to the rag and picked it up. Finally, he identified the word "Zhao" from countless footprints and stains. It turned out that this was the banner of the Mingzhou Army's central army. He couldn't help but sigh.

It is really hard to say that success or failure in the world is very successful. If I had not insisted on going out to sea in Hangzhou at that time; if the storm came a little harder that night; if I had not floated to Wengshan Island the next morning and happened to meet the logistics fleet of the Mingzhou Army; there were countless ifs, as long as there was so many, if one of them happened, then I would probably not be myself, but Zhao Yingong, who did not know life and death. The only difference is that his fate was probably much more miserable than him. Thinking of this, Chen Zhang felt cold all over and sweated a lot.

Chen Zhang was about to return to the tent so that he would not get sick by the cold wind, but heard a scream of exclamation from the right, and then it became silent. He was about to walk over to check, but Zhou Anguo walked over while wiping the blood on his arm, cursing and asked with a smile: "What's wrong? General Zhou, haven't found out about Zhao Yingong's whereabouts?"

Zhou Anguo spat hard to the side and cursed: "Zhao Yingong didn't know what he was reincarnated in his previous life. His feet must have been covered with oil. A certain family had just tortured six or seven officers. They all said they had seen him yesterday, but they fled on a boat in the middle of the night. They didn't know where to go, nor did they know whether what they said was true or false."

Chen Zhang nodded: "It shouldn't be a lie. So many people talked about it all, and they didn't know how to make good words. Besides, when we fought, the Mingzhou army was very strange. It seemed that they had been disturbed and had lost the organization. Otherwise, we wouldn't have won so easily. It must be because Zhao Yingong got the news from somewhere in advance. Knowing that the situation was no longer possible, he left the army and fled on a boat."

Zhou Anguo sighed, his expression suddenly became depressed. He was not unable to infer such a simple fact. He saw that his great achievements were gone and it was difficult to accept the reality. When Chen Zhang said it, he could only give up. He pointed to the shadow of the ship on the dock and asked, "What should General Chen think he should do now? Do you want to send the clutch to chase him?"

"The sea is vast and I don't know where he is, how can I catch up with it!" Chen Zhang smiled. He was very calm at this time. Now that his side has decided on the overall situation. As long as he doesn't make any big mistakes, Zhao Yingong can't make any tricks. He pondered for a moment and smiled: "It's better to place surrendered soldiers here and send messengers to the local powerful people in Taizhou. Judge Gao should be in the inland. It is also a great achievement to pacify a state!"

Zhou Anguo was more excited when he heard that he still had the opportunity to make contributions, so he turned to the scene. Just now, Chen Zhang didn't seem to be with him at the moment, so he couldn't help but ask, "What about you, General Chen?"

Chen Zhang said confidently: "Wenzhou is the throat of Fujian and Zhejiang. I will lead a thousand people to rush there and set up a son first so as not to cause trouble again." He said this, looked at Zhou Anguo's face and smiled: "If General Zhou wants to go, I can stay here to guard."

Zhou Anguo's face turned red. Fortunately, his face was dark and he was not afraid that Chen Zhang would see it. He had indeed had the idea of ​​competing with the other party just now. But after Chen Zhang said this, he was really embarrassed to say it. Moreover, the merits of arranging surrendered soldiers and pursuing a state were ready in front of him. I don't know the good and bad luck of going to Wenzhou. He still understood the principle that a bird in his hand was better than ten birds in the forest. Thinking of this, he pretended to be generous and smiled: "What did General Chen say? Zhou is not such a stingy person. I will arrange a boat for you immediately. After using the sound food, I will drive the boat."

In the Mingzhou Governor's Mansion, Lu Fang leaned on the brocade couch, closed his eyes to rest. The tables beside him were filled with memorials to be processed. Chen Yun sat in front of the case and read aloud to him. Whenever a letter was read, Chen Yun would express his opinion on his handling. If Lu Fang agreed, he would nod and Chen Yun would submit his opinion on the reply. If Lu Fang disagreed, he would express his opinion and let Chen Yun write down. After Lu Fang challenged Pingming, the basic war had been understood, but there were also a lot of important matters waiting for him to handle in Hangzhou. Chen Yun had no choice but to bring the memorials to Mingzhou and ask him for instructions.

The two were busy, and a slight knock on the door suddenly came from outside. Chen Yun got up and walked outside. It turned out that a clerk was sending an emergency document. Chen Yun took the document and opened it and saw that he couldn't help but exclaim, with a rather surprised tone.

"Mr. Chen, is there any news in front of the army?" Lu Fang's low voice came from the house.

"That's right." Chen Yun calmed down slightly, entered the room, carefully brought the door, walked to Lu Fang, and bowed and said, "Zhou, two generals Chen came to report from Mingzhou. Our army defeated the bandits in Mingzhou, beheaded more than 700, captured more than 6,700 alive people, drowned, seized more than 200 warships of all sizes and big, and seized no military capital and armor. The Mingzhou Prefecture City was under the control of our army." Chen Yun was reciting the good news, but there was not much excitement and joy in his tone.

"Oh?" Lu Fang opened his eyes: "When Zhao led the Gong to send troops, the entire army was only more than 10,000. In this way, there were almost 8,000 prisoners alone, and it was already a complete victory. Why did Mr. Chen speak like this? Could it be that there is any news later?" Speaking of this, Lu Fang suddenly added: "Is there something wrong with Judge Gao?"

"The letter did not mention the news about Judge Gao. It must be that Zhou and Chen had not had time to join the line with Judge Gao. Judge Gao traveled across Liangzhe that year, so there must be nothing wrong this time. Please rest assured, lord." Chen Yun comforted him, and then paused for a moment and whispered: "It was just that the body of the thief Zhao Yingong was not found in the defeated army. General Zhou said in the letter that he learned from the prisoners that the Zhao thief had taken hundreds of confidants on the boat to escape on the night before the army arrived, and he was not sure where to go."

"Huh?" Lu Fang's face immediately covered with a shadow when he heard this news. After Zhao Yingong led his troops to attack Taizhou from the sea, he had already regarded this person as his only enemy in his heart. He didn't know whereabouts and did not know what would happen again. At present, Yang Xingmi in the north pacified the field, and the war in the Anzhi Rebellion had entered a critical moment. If he could not stabilize his rear as soon as possible and take out his hand, he would be afraid that there would be an unexpected disaster. Thinking of this, Lu Fang asked in a low voice: "Does there any letter tell me how they deal with it?"

"The letter said that General Chen left General Zhou to Fu Taizhou, led a thousand people, and went directly to Wenzhou by sea, saying that Wenzhou is the throat of Fujian and Zhejiang. Now that the two Zhejiangs are in war, people have no masters, so they should first defend with elite troops, thinking that it is unexpected." Chen Yun said this, looked up at Lu Fang's face, and added: "General Chen is indeed decisive and does not care about himself. He has made great contributions at this time and is still in danger like this. As expected, he is a famous general of the world. With such talents, his great cause will definitely be successful." At this point, Chen Yun actually bowed to congratulate him.

Lu Fang smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, Chen Zhang is doing the right move. I was separated by Taiwan, Ming and Vietnam, and it was beyond the reach of Wenzhou. Now that I have controlled these states, I should immediately send troops to garrison first, and then take control of others! This person is indeed a talented general. The ancients said: "The way a wise man is to deal with the world is like a place in a cone, and he will see it immediately." Isn't that what he said?" At the end of his speech, I couldn't help laughing.

Chen Yun, who was standing beside him, saw Lu Fang's appearance, showed a vicious look on his face, and immediately disappeared, and stepped forward and whispered: "But Zhao Yingong never died for a day, he was still a heart-wrenching problem. This man was a wolf-like ambition, and he was deeply aware of Liangzhe's geographical and military information. He has a foundation in Mingzhou. If he leads foreign enemies to rebellion, he will be a confidant and should be prepared in advance."

"Catch foreign enemies?" Lu Fang smiled: "It would be fine if he fled to Huainan. If he fled to Wang Shenzhi of Fujian, I would be able to kill him without a single knife or a shot."

Chen Yun was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't know why Lu Fang had such great confidence. He couldn't help but ask: "Can you please solve your doubts?"

Lu Fang did not say it, but just smiled with a deep smile. Chen Yun had no choice but to give up, and then finished the remaining memorials before saying goodbye. As soon as he left the door, Chen Yun had a resentful smile on his face. He had mentioned Chen Zhang's actions in his previous letter of study, saying that Chen Zhang had made great contributions and did not care about himself and led his troops to seize Wenzhou, which was located at the throat of Fujian and Zhejiang. The meaning that was not expressed in his words was very profound. After all, Chen Zhang's contribution now is enough to be released from the prefectures and counties, and under the existing system of Zhenhaijun

It was at its peak that when people took such great dangers, they usually became cautious and cautious to keep the results they had achieved, and then took risks. This only shows that he had a great plan, not a single prefecture and county can satisfy him, and Wenzhou is so sensitive. Chen Yun believed that a person as smart as Lu Fang would have to look back and calm down and savor it, and he would definitely realize something was wrong, but all of his words were expressed from the letter, and there was no fabrication of a sentence. Lu Fang would not think of himself, as if he had killed someone without blood.
