Chapter 862 The big thing is bad!

The next morning, the sky was bright.

Master Shen led three to four hundred people and entered Tuhe Town.

This is a fairly prosperous town. In terms of the size of the market, it is even comparable to ordinary county towns.

The difference from the county seat may be that this Tuhe town... has no city walls.

Therefore, when the Qi army in Tuhe Town retreated, Da Chen's army occupied the town almost effortlessly, and Master Shen also entered the town as a receiver.

As Shen Yi said, most of the people in the town are Han people, and only one or two families are Zhu Lizhen, but they are not serious Zhu Lizhen, but Zhu Lizhen's servants. , to help the ruling class of the Qi State, that is, those Zhuli real people monitor the place to prevent any changes in the place.

This kind of role, more than 60 years later, is almost all over the entire territory of Qi.

The number of real people in Zhuli is not particularly large, most of them are in Yandu or near Yandu, so there are not enough people to spread all over the places. Small places like towns are watched by their coated servants. Occasionally, there are one or two real Zhu Li who don't know where to go, and they act as uncles in the county town.

In fact, it was in this way that the Northern Qi transferred a lot of power and interests to these low-level "squires". For more than 60 years, their political power was able to stabilize, so that until today, they still occupy the Half of the country.

After Shen Yi entered Tuhe Town, he didn't go anywhere else. First, he went to a medicine store where seriously wounded soldiers were temporarily placed, or where they were injured by a knife. In the backyard of the medicine store, he saw these wounded soldiers.

There are almost 50 of them.

Among them, Jiang Ming is impressively listed.

Because Jiang Ming charged too far forward, he was severely slashed on the back by the Qi people. Fortunately, he was equipped with armor. Although the knife pierced the armor, the wound was not very deep.

Shen Yi went to look at his wound, then looked at the young master Jiang who was grinning in pain, and said with a smile: "Brother Jiang, after suffering so much, do you still want to fight?"

"How about following me and being my follower when the injury is healed?"

Jiang Ming was being bandaged at the moment, he hissed twice, then looked up at Shen Yi, tried his best to grin, and showed an ugly smile: "Uncle Shen, I am very good with General Xue, but I just learned art Not good enough, not as brave as General Xue, that's why he was hacked by Qi people."

Both of his eyes were shining, and he said, "Uncle Shen, you haven't seen how brave General Xue is. I saw with my own eyes that he knocked over a dozen people to the ground with one blow of his long spear!"

Master Shen shook his head helplessly, and cursed with a smile: "You're talking nonsense, it's supernatural power to sweep away four or five people, and to sweep away more than a dozen people, is it made of tofu?"

"It's not like I haven't seen Xue Wei's ability before."

Master Shen smiled and said: "In the southeast in the early years, he was chased by three or five Japanese pirates. I also saw it with my own eyes."

Because of the pain, Jiang Ming bared his teeth and stopped talking.

Shen Yi touched his chin and said, "After a while, after the bandages are finished, I'll send you wounded people back to the river, and send you back to the south bank first."

Seeing that Jiang Ming seemed to be about to speak, Shen Yi didn't give him a chance to speak, and said lightly: "You also go back together. Since you want to be a soldier, you must obey the general's order."

Jiang Ming was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that Shen Yi had recognized his status as a soldier, and was overjoyed immediately, and said, "Yes! This subordinate obeys orders!"

Shen Yi still wanted to talk, and a hundred households walked over, bowed their heads slightly to Shen Yi and said, "Mr. Shen, my subordinates have found out that there are two families in Tuhe Town, and they are the so-called Master Zhu Lizhen. As far as I am concerned, my subordinates have already arrested all the people from these two families, and I am waiting for your release, Mr. Shen!"

Speaking of this, he bowed his head and said: "One of the family's name is Fan, and they clamored to see Mr. Shen, and the subordinates brought him here at the door. Mr. Shen, do you want to see him? Let someone take him away."

Shen Yi looked at the sky above his head, it was still morning, and there was still some distance before noon, he yawned, and said, "In that case, I'll go see Master Zhu Lizhen."

"After the wounded soldiers were bandaged, people were arranged to carry or carry them to the riverside, and then sent them back to the Xiangshui Camp by boat."

The hundred households bowed their heads respectfully: "This subordinate understands!"

Master Shen walked out of the backyard of the pharmacy with his hands behind his back. As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw a middle-aged man with a fair complexion and a somewhat bloated figure. He was firmly tied up with a rope. He stood at the door of the pharmacy and saw Shen Yi. When he came out, he quickly took two steps forward. Although his arms were tied, he still bowed down to Shen Yi respectfully.

"Xiaomin Fancheng, my lord!"

With hands behind his back, Shen Yi took a look at this person.

"looking for me?"

Fan Cheng lowered his head and said cautiously: "My lord, I heard that your army is Da Chen's master..."

Hearing this, Shen Yi laughed.

He smiled and glanced at Master Fan.

"You can talk, and you recognized us as Wang Shi so quickly. If we are Wang Shi, what is the Southern Conscript Army?"

"Of course it's the thief army!"

Fan Cheng lowered his head and carefully smiled: "My lord, you don't know something. In Tuhe Town, there is no real Zhu Li. The town is full of Han people. It has been a long time for Zhu Li to suffer!"

He swallowed, and continued: "Seeing the arrival of Master Wang, everyone in the town is overjoyed."

He glanced at Shen Yi's reaction, and saw that Master Shen was expressionless and silent, so he gritted his teeth and continued: "Just now, Xiaomin heard that Master Wang's masters wanted to confiscate the property of Xiaomin's house, saying that Xiaomin is Master Zhu Li, that is truly a great injustice!"

"Since we have a family tree, my family has always been Han Chinese. This lord is well-informed. You should know that Fan's surname comes from Dayao, and my family is a decent descendant of Zhuxia..."

Master Shen had a half-smile, glanced at this person, and said slowly: "Then how did I hear that in Tuhe Town, everyone calls your family Master Zhu Lizhen?"

"Because my family is rich..."

Fan Cheng smiled bitterly and said: "Your Excellency also knows that half of my Shenzhou has been lost to the barbarians for decades. In the Northern Qi territory, Zhu Lizhen has a high position and authority, and he was born superior. Those foolish people don't understand, so they think they are rich They are all real Zhu Li..."

"Actually, my family has nothing to do with Zhu Lizhen. This is really a misunderstanding!"

He lowered his head, bowed to Shen Yi and said: "My lord, Master Wang has come from a long way. My family donates a little money to honor Master Wang. This is what the people of the Han family should do. The people of the Han family are willing to give [-]% of their family property in exchange for Master Feng Wang..."

Master Shen didn't answer him, but looked up at the sky.

It's almost noon now.

Although there is no news from Su Ding, he knows that his time to stay on the north bank is running out.

There is no time to continue teasing with Master Fan.

So, with a calm face, he said calmly: "Since Mr. Fan is a Han citizen, I will naturally not embarrass your family, but I, Master Chen Wang, are preparing for the Northern Expedition, so I need to know more about Master Zhu Li."

"Just now, I collected some secret letters, which were written in Zhu Lizhen. I don't know if Mr. Fan understands Zhu Lizhen. If you do, translate them for us. I will definitely not touch the property of the Fan family."

Fan Cheng's eyes lit up.

"Understand!"

He nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

"Return to your lord, Xiaomin understands some Zhulizhengwen, you give the document to Xiaomin, and Xiaomin will translate it for you immediately!"

Hearing his answer, the news on Master Shen's face gradually subsided and disappeared bit by bit.

He no longer looked at Fan Cheng, but turned around, waved his hand, squinted his eyes and said, "Rip the house and destroy the house."

Hearing these four words, Fan Cheng was stunned. His legs kept trembling, and he looked up at Shen Yi: "My lord, why is this... My family is Han!"

"Over 60 years."

"As early as more than 20 years ago, the Northern Qi court issued official documents, except for the grand ceremony edict, and the rest no longer used Zhuli Zhenwen!"

Master Shen glanced at him with a sneer: "Nowadays, most Zhu Lizhen masters don't know Zhu Lizhen's writing, but you do!"

"You dog slave, you care more than your master!"

Shen Yi waved his hand, didn't bother to look at this person again, and waved his hand directly: "Take it down!"

Fan Cheng looked at Shen Yi in despair and shouted that he was wronged.

After dealing with this person, Shen Yi took a few mouthfuls of food.

In the afternoon, he summoned a messenger and ordered: "Go and report to General Xue and General Su, and tell them that the time is almost up."

"If the result of the battle is not particularly great, then immediately settle down and retreat towards the Huaihe River. Try to retreat to the Huaihe River before sunset, and then form an formation to cover the retreat!"

The messenger answered, and Pegasus went.

………………

On the Huaihe River on the west line of Huai'an Mansion, hundreds of large ships are constantly attacking the Lianshui camp.

On the deck of a large ship, General Zhou Shizhong put down the binoculars in his hand with a gloomy expression.

Because he saw that there were many soldiers in red clothes and black armor along the Huaihe defense line on the south bank!
Red coat, black armor!
This is the style of the Imperial Army of the Southern Dynasties!
General Zhou almost thought that his eyes were dazzled, so he picked up the binoculars again and looked at it again!
What catches the eye is still a piece of black and red!

Beside him, Wei Wang Zhao Kai also put down the binoculars, his face darkened to the extreme: "The imperial army of the Southern Dynasty! How could the imperial army of the Southern Dynasty be supported within half a day!"

He turned his head to look at Zhou Shizhong, and asked, "General, you haven't received any information that there are imperial troops from the Southern Dynasty next to the Lianshui Camp?!"

"How can I know?"

Zhou Shizhong was also upset, his face was ugly, and he gritted his teeth: "No, there is absolutely no forbidden army near the Lianshui camp. These forbidden troops were transferred from other places..."

"Also, it may have been transferred here a few days in advance!"

General Zhou glanced back at Zhao Kai, his voice hoarse: "In other words, someone may have seen our plan clearly a few days ago..."

His Royal Highness King Wei clenched his fists.

"General, is there a spy in your army! After we discussed it, he leaked the secret?!"

Zhou Shizhong glared at Zhao Kai.

"That's what Zhou wants to ask His Highness!"

General Zhou was still talking, when a small boat approached his big boat, and a person in the small boat climbed onto the deck and knelt down in front of Zhou Shizhong with a plop.

"General, something is wrong!"

"The southerners crossed the river at night and attacked our Yangji camp and Tuhe camp by surprise. Our army suffered heavy casualties!"
