generation hero

There were a few small boats going upstream on the river, and the sky was gloomy and moonless. If it wasn't for Yuan Xi's sharp eyes, he might not have noticed it at all.

The gate of Yunxiang City has been closed long ago, and the waterway has also closed the Le gate. How can there be boats appearing on the river at this time.

Yuan Tang immediately ordered a thorough investigation. After the inventory, it was found that there were no shortage of ships in Yunxiang City, and there were no shortage of people in each camp. The river was dark and dull. It is not impossible to say that the ships came from Xiangjing City, but The capital also has access control, and the time of the ban is earlier than that of Yunxiang. If the boat goes upstream from the lower reaches of Xiangjing, then Xiangjing should be more vigilant.Downstream are rebels.

Yuan Xi led a few people to stay quietly behind those ships, and did not come back until midnight. The prince simply stayed up, and waited for news in the camp with Yuan Tang. Came back covered in moisture.

The soldiers were practicing on the school grounds, Yuan Xi and the others avoided people and stopped the boat at the entrance of the waterway under the city gate. The people who followed were slightly injured, but fortunately they were not seriously injured.

Yuan Xi and the others took great pains to keep up with the boat in front of them. In order not to be discovered, they did not dare to follow closely. The people on the boat were very careful, as if they wanted to avoid being discovered, and it was hard to tell from their clothes whether they were Who, and it is difficult to judge where their purpose is.

In the middle of the night, there was a thick fog on the river, and the current was so fast that it was about to be unable to keep up. The boat in front hit a rock and capsized. Yuan Xi decisively attacked from the water and took away a man who fell into the water. The man found himself under control. , Immediately committed suicide by biting off the nipple hidden in his mouth, so Yuan Xi and the others only brought back one corpse.

There was nothing on the man that could represent his identity, but Yuan Xi carefully inspected the man's hands and feet, and found that the man had thick calluses on his hands and soles, as if he had used bows and arrows for a long time.

Yuan Xi guessed that it was a soldier.

Those who came from the vicinity of Xiangjing were also soldiers, who had to be reminiscent of the guards around the capital, but there were tens of thousands of soldiers in the camps inside and outside the capital, and it was impossible to check where this person came from.

The prince was going to leave Yunxiang early in the morning to return to the capital, but he was not at ease when something like this happened, so he stayed in the military tent and waited for the result.

After Yuan Xi reported, there was a moment of silence in the tent, the prince frowned, and suddenly his expression changed.

Yuan Tang asked strangely, "Your Highness?"

The prince didn't seem to hear it, he stood up and walked back and forth in the tent for a few times, then suddenly turned his head and said to Yuan Tang: "Yuan Qing, how many people can you mobilize in Yunxiang City?"

Yuan Tang felt very strange, and said truthfully: "If we talk about mobilizing the 2000 soldiers inside and outside Yunxiang City, they can naturally follow the command of the East Palace, but only [-] of them can really be used by us."

The crown prince frowned even deeper, perhaps he was not satisfied with the number, Yuan Tang lowered his head slightly, and the crown prince said: "Yuan Qing, don't misunderstand, I'm not blaming you, but worried in my heart. , but it is Caizhou..."

Yuantang's heart moved, and he said, "Your Highness thinks that someone is secretly contacting Caizhou?"

The prince sighed and said, "Gu also can't say for sure."

The prince is obviously suspicious. The water bandits in the lower reaches have not retreated, and the fleeing people have poured into Xiangjing one after another. No one can say what will happen. If someone from the guards really sends someone to contact Caizhou, the person who sent someone is Who and for what purpose?

The second prince, Feng Hongshen, was in Caizhou. It was such a coincidence that Yuan Tang couldn't help but think of Xiao Shi. He had a vague premonition that something might be coming.

The prince had to go back to the capital to return to his life and could not stay in Yunxiang for a long time. Before leaving, he asked Yuantang to continue to keep an eye on the waterways of the river outside Yunxiang City, and report to the East Palace if there was any abnormality, "Now Sanlang and Hongyi are not in the capital, Qing is lonely The most trusted person."

Yuan Tang said seriously: "The minister should serve His Highness the Crown Prince."

The prince nodded slightly and sighed.

From then on, Yuantang sent his cronies to watch the river every night. After a few days, another boat sneaked towards Caizhou at night. Yunxiang passed by.

Strangely, the guards in the city didn't seem to notice the abnormality at all, and everything in the city was peaceful.

The prince in the Eastern Palace also noticed something strange, and even used the eyeliner of the Eastern Palace, but found no clues.The power of the Eastern Palace is limited, and it cannot directly intervene in the affairs of the imperial guards, so it can play an extremely small role.

The crown prince was still worried, and Yuan Tang was sent back to the East Palace ten days later.

Yuan Tang felt that it was more important to guard Yunxiang City at this time, but he couldn't resist the prince's repeated urging, so he could only hand over everything about Yunxiang to Yuan Xi, and specifically told Yuan Xi: "Although we can't find out the purpose of those people , but caution can never be overstated, starting today we will not only send people to keep an eye on the waterways outside, but also send some people to the upper reaches to keep an eye on it, and if there is any abnormality, return to the city and tell me."

Yuan Xi nodded and said that there was no need, Yuan Tang took two guards and left.

Heihu has been transferred to the East Palace to replace Yuantang's previous position. Yuantang met his subordinates but failed to reminisce about the old days. The prince was very worried. When he heard that Yuantang had arrived, he called him to the study for questioning.

According to Yuantang's idea, he simply arrested him and put it on the bright side to investigate carefully, but the prince was not willing to make too much noise.The person who can mobilize the Imperial Guards in the capital and leave the city quietly at night must be related to the Xiao family. In the past, the Xiao family was used to overstepping his authority. Has such an unreasonable thing happened before?

The crown prince was worried about what plans the Xiao family had, and also worried that the Xiao family was deliberately showing off in Yunxiang City. For the East Palace, the military power in Yunxiang City was hard-won, and it was not yet secure in its hands. If something went wrong , maybe it will be taken away by Xiao Xiezhi again.

For this reason, the prince hesitated a lot.

Seeing that it was getting late again, the crown prince asked Yuan Tang to stay in the East Palace.

There was a strong wind at night, and Yuan Tang slept very unsteadily. When he was drowsy, he seemed to be dreaming of Feng Cong. When he woke up, he broke out in a cold sweat. He was stunned for a while before he heard the rapid knock on the door.

Yuan Tang hurriedly put on his clothes, and Hei Hu was outside, saying, "General, someone from Yunxiang has come to deliver a message."

The person who came was Yuan Xi's subordinate, panting heavily, he said to Yuan Tang, "General Qi, according to the general's order, the general sent people to investigate upstream and found the ship sent by the Caizhou Army."

"What!" Yuan Tang was startled, "Where are they? How many ships are there?"

The soldier said: "There are five large ships and dozens of small ships, within ten miles from Yunxiang."

This number is not too much, but no one can guarantee that there will be no supplements in the rear. If the Caizhou army goes south, what is detected now may be the first dive of Caizhou.With so many ships spread out across the river, they could fill the entire river. They must be ships of the Caizhou army, but Yuan Tang never heard that the imperial court ordered the transfer of troops to Caizhou.

Yuan Tang didn't care too much, and hurriedly went to see the prince.

The prince was so shocked that his face turned pale, and he and Yuan Tang looked at each other in blank dismay.

Caizhou sent ships to the south without making a sound, but no one inside or outside the capital noticed it. No, maybe some people knew, but those who knew deliberately concealed it. In any case, this is not a good thing.

Yuan Tang was also a little panicked, thinking to himself that Caizhou was going to rebel, Caizhou's army was strong, and Shangyun's army was fighting in the lower reaches of the river. There may be internal responses in the city.

The prince said: "I'm going to the palace to meet the emperor." His face was complex and dignified, obviously a little shocked, Yuan Tang was also in doubt, and said after a breath: "Although Shangjun's troops are deployed downstream, I think that It's better to send someone to tell King Qi and Third Brother Shen as soon as possible, it's best to keep it hidden and not leak the news."

The second prince left the town of Caizhou, surrounded by people from the Xiao family. Although the situation is unknown, Caizhou's marching south will definitely not be able to surpass the second prince. It is hard to say what role the Xiao family will play in this matter. Some have the heart of disobedience.The Caizhou army was approaching the city, and Xiao Shanzhi was the commander of Shangyun, so even if he couldn't lead him back to the court, it would be good if he could remind Feng Cong and the others.

The prince's eyes gradually cleared up, and he said: "That's right, if you want to send them a message, I'll send someone to do it."

I thought the prince would make a decision soon after reporting to the emperor, but I didn't expect the prince to see the emperor at all after entering the palace.

The emperor recently took the elixir and retreated to Bigu, but no one was seen.

The prince begged for a long time, and the door of the emperor's bedroom was closed. After dawn, the prince returned to the East Palace. His expression was calm, but his face was extremely bad. He hurriedly called his staff to discuss.

Some aides suggested that the prince should take the princess and the emperor's grandson to escape before the Caizhou army arrived, and use the soldiers of Yunxiang City led by Dong Gongwei and Yuan Tang as guards. Yunxiang City has ships and food, so just board the ship Contact Jun Jun downstream.

The prince was silent for a moment, denying the proposal, since the emperor was still in the capital, there was no reason for the prince to run away first.

Although he said so, everyone knew in their hearts that it would not be of much use for the emperor to sit firmly in the palace at the moment. He would stay behind closed doors. If Xiangjing could not defend, the emperor would have no choice but to escape.

Yuan Tang said: "If the other forbidden troops in Xiangjing cannot be mobilized, the capital will not be able to defend it, and Yunxiang will not be able to support it for too long."

Everyone looked at the prince, waiting for him to make up his mind, after a while, the prince asked: "There are other countermeasures."

Everyone bowed their heads in silence, the prince's eyes turned to Yuan Tang, Yuan Tang sighed in his heart, and said: "I think that at this time, the most important thing is to mobilize the imperial army to defend as soon as possible."

Everyone knows that they should defend. This is the difficulty of the East Palace. The Forbidden Army is in the hands of Xiao Shi. I don't know if Xiao Shi has any connection with Caizhou.Even if he noticed the change of the Caizhou army earlier, he was just waiting for them to approach the city.

Xiao Xiezhi's position is not clear, and the prince can't go to Xiao Xiezhi to mobilize troops to defend.

"I am willing to go to Xiao Shangshu's mansion." Yuan Tang said.

The prince's eyes flashed, and he said, "Is Yuan Qing sure?"

Yuan Tang said: "I'm not sure, but Your Highness, the Caizhou Army is already outside the city. If you don't do anything at this time, you just sit and wait for death. I will invite Xiao Shangshu. If Xiao Shangshu is really 'willing' to come to the East Palace to discuss matters with Your Highness, Your Highness can think about how to discuss with him."

The prince's chest heaved violently, his beard trembled, and he said, "You go."

He patted Yuan Tang's arm and said: "Gu's wealth and life are all here, Yuan Qing, don't live up to Gu's entrustment."

Yuan Tang breathed out in his heart: "Yes, I will retire."

"Invite" Xiao Shangshu to cooperate, of course he couldn't invite him, Xiao Shi didn't know what role he played in this matter, and he didn't have time to study it carefully.

Yuan Tang kept an eye out, and sent someone to follow Xiao's mansion, and he was really relieved to find that Xiao Xiezhi was still in his own house.

Originally wanting to be courteous before fighting, he went to Xiao Shangshu's mansion, but was stopped by Xiao's private soldiers across an alley.

The private soldiers of the Xiao family occupied a street in front of the gate of the Xiao mansion, each armed with weapons, and prevented Yuan Tang from passing by. At this point, Yuan Tang had no way to reason with them, so he directly asked the Donggong guards to seal all the gates of the Xiao mansion and kill them. Withdrew the soldiers of the Xiao family and forced the Xiao mansion to open the door with fire.

Xiao Xiezhi scolded Yuan Tang for being rude in the room.

Yuan Tang said loudly: "Shang Shu Ming Jian, I just want to invite you to the East Palace as a guest. There is no other meaning, but the servants of Shang Shu's family seem to be unruly. Please come out as soon as possible, otherwise the fire will burn in a while, or We rushed in, and it would be bad if we ran into your family."

Xiao Xiezhi had no choice but to leave the house and looked at Yuan Tang coldly.

After sending Xiao Xiezhi to the East Palace, the prince and Xiao Xiezhi closed the door and talked for a quarter of an hour. Xiao Xiezhi handed over the military talisman, and Yuan Tang just took the military talisman to the gate of the city. The fleet appeared outside the city.

Caizhou first sent envoys to the city, under the banner of King Qin, claiming that the disorderly army in the lower reaches was fleeing and wanted to enter Beijing to protect the emperor.The second prince was on the ship, and Yuan Tang also saw Zhan Fang who joined the army as Caizhou.

On the one hand, the prince sent someone to persuade the second prince to return to Caizhou with brotherly love, and on the other hand, he continued to beg to see the emperor. When the emperor heard that Caizhou was besieged by ships, he finally came out of his bedroom. After scolding, Yuan Tang was almost punished, and the crown prince took it all by himself.

After reprimanding the prince, the emperor also realized the seriousness of the matter.The second prince was still unmoved by the emperor's persuasion to return, so Xiao Xiezhi asked to go out of the city to negotiate with the second prince, but the emperor refused.

The capital was in a state of panic. There were people at all the city gates asking when they could leave the city. The aristocratic families living in the capital sent people to guard the gates and the vicinity of the military officials day and night.

Yuan Tang was originally dismissed from his post for being rude to Xiao Shangshu, but was released after the emperor sent someone to deliver an edict to the second prince for the first time to no avail, and was in charge of the city defense in the right guard army.

Although the fight has not yet started, the atmosphere in the city is already tense. After a few days, there are gradually rumors in the city that the Shangjun army in the lower reaches has lost, the whole army has collapsed, and Shangyun's reinforcements will not return to assist Xiangjing.

Knowing that the rumor must have come from someone with a heart, Yuan Tang couldn't help but feel tense in his heart, and the people sent downstream by the Eastern Palace did not reply for a long time.

As soon as the rumors came out, the hearts of the people in the city became more scattered, the gates of the city were crowded with people who wanted to leave the city, and many ministers in the court began to say that they were sick and refused to go to the official duty.

The prince suddenly called Yuan Tang to the East Palace study.

After dismissing the crowd, the crown prince asked Yuan Tang: "Qing led the troops to defend the city these few days, will the right guards still listen to your transfer?"

Yuan Tang thought that the crown prince wanted to ask about the Caizhou army outside, but he didn't expect him to ask this. It was a little strange, so he replied: "I have a soldier talisman in my hand, and the right guard is guarding it with all my strength."

Yuan Tang sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, raised his head slightly, and found that the prince's face was very ugly, it could be green or white, his chest heaved violently, at first glance he looked like a person who was seriously ill, but he knew that the prince was not sick .

"Your Highness?"

The prince came back to his senses from Yuantang's soft call, and said: "The person who sent the messenger downstream has not replied yet, how did Gu hear that the Shangjun army was defeated in the city?"

"It's just a rumor spread by someone with a heart. I have ordered people to investigate and find out who spread the rumor."

"Although it is a rumor, it has already spread. I heard that many people have sent money to the city gate and the military camp, trying to sneak out of the city."

It is inevitable for rumors to affect people's hearts, so Yuan Tang wanted to find out the person who spread the rumors as soon as possible, so as to make an example of them and calm down the matter.

But he could tell from the Prince's expression that if the Prince was like this, the people in the city would be even more terrified.

The prince said: "The rumors have also spread to the palace."

Yuan Tang looked up in surprise, and the prince said, "Father also knows."

"Father is worried that Shangyun will not be able to return to help, and wants to open the city gate to let the second brother enter the city."

"This is absolutely impossible!" Yuan Tang almost stood up.

I really don't know what the emperor thinks, the second prince led his army to the city gate, and if the city gate is really opened, do you still expect the father to be kind and the son filial? Maybe in order to preserve his reputation, the second prince will not kill his own father, but It's just a possibility. There is no reason to say that soldiers are approaching the city.

Yuan Tang suddenly realized that the most disadvantaged one is the crown prince. If the second prince is really sent to the city, he might even consider his reputation and confess to the emperor, but the second prince is so powerful, how can he accommodate the prince.Although the crown prince had been established as the crown prince early, he had never had much reliance in the court. The only thing he relied on was the emperor's approval. Now that the emperor wanted to let the second prince into the city, it meant that the emperor wanted to give up the prince.

No wonder the prince's face is so ugly.

"Xiao Shangshu urged the father to open the door and let the second younger brother enter the city." The prince said calmly.

Yuan Tang said: "He has ulterior motives!"

Yuan Tang suspected that Xiao Xiezhi reported to Caizhou, but the emperor was unwilling to pursue this matter.

"Your Highness, you must not let Your Majesty be so decisive."

The prince quietly looked at Yuan Tang's expression, and sighed: "Father is Gu's father, and even more a monarch. If Father makes up his mind, Gu can't do it."

Yuan Tang was also observing the prince's expression. After a moment of silence, the prince's eyes flashed, and he said, "Gu also doesn't want to let things develop like this. When the second younger brother enters the city, not to mention the East Palace, all the servants of the East Palace will probably Become a thorn in their side. Both Hongyi and Jingxuan are still on the front line..."

Yuan Tang said: "I was ordered to protect the East Palace, so I will naturally be loyal to His Highness and protect His Highness comprehensively."

The crown prince's eyes sank, he supported Yuan Tang's shoulders and said, "Yuan Qing, this matter can only depend on you and the soldiers."

The crown prince didn't want to wait for the emperor to order to open the city gate, so he had to do it first. The relationship between father and son of the Tian family was really weak in the face of life and death.Although Yuantang was able to mobilize some of the imperial guards in Xiangjing, these people were not trustworthy. Many of them were members of the Xiao Clan's henchmen, and if there was a leak, it would be doomed to the East Palace.

So the only person who can use it is Dong Gongwei, and Dong Gongwei is enough.

On the next day and night, Heihu led a team of [-] people to intercept the generals of the Xiao family's imperial army. Yuan Tang and Dong Gongwei supported the prince to enter the palace after dark.

Xiao Shangshu was still in the palace at this time, which saved a lot of trouble, Yuan Tang personally led people to escort Xiao Xiezhi down.

Ever since Yuan Tang rushed into the Xiao Mansion and brought Xiao Xiezhi to the East Palace, Xiao Xiezhi looked at Yuan Tang coldly.

Dong Gongwei rushed in, and Xiao Xiezhi also knew that the big thing was not good, so he didn't resist much, but just looked sideways at Yuantang, his eyes were full of disdain.

Yuan Tang didn't care, because the prince ordered Xiao Xiezhi's life to be spared, so he ordered people to treat him well and bring him to the prince to finish the job.

When Yuan Tang approached Xiao Xiezhi, he heard Xiao Xiezhi snort coldly: "A running dog."

It seemed that he was really angry with Xiao Xiezhi, Yuan Tang replied with a smile: "I am a prisoner."

Xiao Xiezhi sneered and said, "Don't be complacent. If you are driven by others, you are arrogant and rude. Sooner or later, you will end up with your family and your life."

Yuan Tang was too lazy to talk nonsense with him.

The prince has already taken control of the palace, and the Donggong guards are fighting with the emperor's guards, blood is inevitable. Yuan Tang came to the emperor's palace, and the servants were cleaning up the blood in the square. Yuan Tang walked through the square in armor and with a knife. look at him.

Yuan Tang put the knife back into the scabbard.There was no one at the door of the sleeping hall, so he opened the door and went in, the inside was dark, only to find that there was no one in the hall, only the emperor was sitting on the couch, staring at him coldly.

Yuan Tang paused, but still knelt down to salute.

The emperor was wearing a high-quality toga, which was crumpled and had an ugly expression. It seemed that his energy and spirit had been exhausted, making him look extremely old.

It was already winter, and two stoves were installed in the house, which was a little far away from the emperor's couch. Yuantang saw the emperor trembling, and he moved, which stimulated the emperor's nerve. Thief!"

The yelling and whistling drafts filled the entire dormitory, piercing Yuantang's ears, Yuantang lowered his head and moved the stove to the front of the couch, the emperor tried his best to maintain his sitting posture, but he still couldn't control it Shrunk back into the couch.

After finishing all this, Yuantang stood in the hall and waited for the prince.

He had no enmity with the emperor, nor could he feel any sense of awe. Seeing the emperor like this, maybe Feng Cong would feel more emotional.

But the prince came after a while, and the prince saluted the emperor very respectfully, but the emperor became even more angry when he saw the prince, and flung his sleeves into the inner hall.

The prince's complexion was not very good-looking, and he gave a deep bow to the emperor's back.It is not easy to suppress a group of Xiao Clan followers.The crown prince was not sure that he could completely control the capital, so he asked Yuantang to bring Xiao Xiezhi into the palace, and he also ordered in the name of the emperor and Xiao Xiezhi.

Temporarily controlling Xiangjing, there is still the Caizhou army outside the city to solve.

The best result is naturally to let Caizhou retreat, but the capital is short of troops, and the Caizhou navy is strong and has more than enough to defend the city. It is very difficult to attack and retreat the Caizhou army.

As long as the city can be appeased, wait for Shangyun to reinforce King Qin.

The crown prince has usurped power and overreached, and there will be no guarantee that there will be no chaos in the city for a long time. Besides, the Caizhou army outside may not be able to wait. If the news spreads, the Caizhou army may directly enter the city to "escort".

It is conceivable how much pressure the prince is under.

Yuan Tang proposed to invite King Huan to come out of the mountain. King Huan has ruled for many years, which is enough to deter the left and right guards. Moreover, King Huan is a prestigious clan. If he can get the support of King Huan, then the prince's usurpation of power will cause the clan and ministers to minimize the backlash.

The prince hesitated a little, he had lost his virtue in usurping the power of his father, and he still felt ashamed in his heart. Although King Huan was suspected by the emperor, he was extremely upright, and the prince was worried that he would not be able to persuade King Huan.

Yuan Tang said: "Why don't I pay a visit for Your Highness."

The prince shook his head and said, "On this matter, I need to come to the door alone to show my sincerity."

The crown prince has such a heart, Yuantang can't say anything.

Afterwards, Yuan Tang hurried back to Yunxiang to garrison, leaving Heihu to guard the prince.The prince had only been in control of the court for three days, and the Caizhou army shouted at the city, asking the emperor to meet the second prince.

I don't know what rumors the Caizhou Army received. The news of the Shangjun Army in the lower reaches still hasn't returned. The news of the Shangjun Army's disintegration in the lower reaches spreads more and more widely. .

Another three days later, the Caizhou army lined up and Xiangjing left and right to fight each other. The ships of the two sides fought fiercely on the river. .

The battle lasted until it was dark, and the dark surface of the water was brightly illuminated by the fire, and there were overturned ships and corpses floating everywhere on the water.

Yuantang looked at the direction of Xiangjing from the boat in Yunxiang. The water outside Xiangjing was still ablaze. After a day of fierce fighting, Yunxiang City lost dozens of small ships and one large ship.

For the next ten days, the battle between them and the Caizhou army ceased, and there was no news from the Shangjun army downstream. Yuan Tang suspected that the letter was intercepted by the Caizhou army, and asked the prince to send someone to investigate again.

One evening, the second prince appeared on the deck of the Caizhou military ship and shouted to the gate of Xiangjing, asking the defenders to open the gate.

He asked people to carry three corpses to the deck, saying that the three were Xiao Xiezhi, Hu Feiyuan and Feng Cong. The front line was defeated and the general was dead. Xiangjing will be surrounded soon, and only by letting the Caizhou army enter the city to protect Guozuo.

The sky was dark, and no one could see the faces of the corpses on the deck clearly, only the clothes seemed similar.As soon as this remark came out, the defenders in Xiangjing City became agitated.

Yuan Tang didn't believe in the second prince's heart-attacking technique at all, but when he heard about it, his heart shrank for no reason, he regained his strength, and started sending letters to the palace again.

Such rumors not only affected Xiangjing City, but also Yunxiang Camp.There was a mutiny among the soldiers in the camp, and the leader was a general of the Xiao family who did not accept Yuan Tang. When the meal was served in the evening, the soldiers who made trouble broke out, and the general Xiao was killed in front of Yuan Tang. .

Yuan Tang beheaded and killed all the masterminds who cooperated with him in the incident. The enemy was at hand, but it was difficult to investigate further. Finally, the Yunxiang camp was quelled, and flames appeared in Xiangjing in the distance.

Yuan Tang hurriedly sent people to investigate, and learned that Xiangjing City Gate was at war, and soon Yunxiang City was also besieged.

Yunxiang was too tired to deal with it, and had no news with Xiangjing. After a night like this, there were many fires in Xiangjing city in the early morning, and the Caizhou army broke through the city gate.

When Yuan Tang got the news, he was on the boat, and the river surface was smashed by rocks, and the soldiers who sent the order heard the report just now, and they were terrified, and asked Yuan Tang what to do.

Yuan Tang said: "Play the drum, you can't retreat."

"General?"

"Send someone to Miyagi, if His Highness goes out of the city to take His Highness to Yunxiang."

"Yes."

Perhaps it was because Xiangjing was broken, and all the ships flowed into Xiangjing. Yunxiang was under less pressure of siege. Yuan Tang turned the ship to head towards Xiangjing city, but was soon surrounded by Caizhou army, making it difficult to move an inch.

The ships of the Caizhou Army approached Yunxiang Wharf intending to land. In order to prevent them from going ashore, Yuan Tang had to guard the waterway in front of Yunxiang City.

Suddenly, a soldier standing on a high place and looking out shouted: "Look, general, there seems to be a boat."

Wherever there is a boat, isn't it all boats?Yuan Tang figured it out for a while, and looked in the direction of the soldiers, only to find that dozens of ships appeared on the river outside Xiangjing City in the morning light, reflecting the hunting north wind, and the flags on the ships were the Shangjun military flag.

Yuantang's heart finally fell back into his stomach.
