Chapter 134 Zhou Chunfeng Leads the Support
The next morning, when Zhou Chunfeng woke up, he heard Xiao Chao's loud voice, which made his eardrums buzz.
Xiao Chao did not sleep all night. He was so angry about the traitor in the rebel army that he could not sleep at all. He was also anxious to find Lieutenant General Hong who was imprisoned by the Huai Army.
At daybreak, Xiao Chao finally found the three imprisoned deputy generals in a secret cellar in the backyard of Prince Huai's Mansion, which was not easily noticed.
When they saw the reinforcements, the despair of Lieutenant General Hong and others instantly rekindled.
Several people in the secret cellar were tied up like dumplings with hemp ropes, rags stuffed in their mouths, and had multiple knife wounds on their bodies. They all thought they were going to die in this unknown secret room.
Xiao Chao returned with a few people and saw Zhou Chunfeng, who had been sitting at the top with his eyes closed, waking up. "Old Zhou, just as you expected, I found someone in the Huai Palace."
Zhou Chunfeng rubbed his sore eyes and stood up with his hands on his waist. His expectation was nothing. In Huizhou City, what better place to hide people than the Prince of Huai's Mansion?
"When my master captured Huizhou City earlier, the relatives of Wang Huaifu who were taken hostage should have been transferred by the Huai Army later." Zhou Chunfeng said.
The three deputy generals, covered in dust, turned away angrily, feeling that in Zhou Chunfeng's eyes, they were like naked clowns, and were seen through and through.
They thought they were the boss's capable men, but as soon as the boss left, the rebel army they led was defeated by the Huai Army that came back and they were completely helpless.
The important thing is that there was a traitor named Shen Jian among them. Shen Jian, who was supposed to be responsible for transporting supplies, colluded with the Huai Army to cooperate with them from inside and outside. Otherwise, the three of them would not have fallen into the trap of the Huai Army.
Now, having fallen into this situation, they have no face to face the old man, not to mention that the person in front of them is Zhou Chunfeng, the outsider whom they brothers once looked down upon the most.
Xiao Chao was of course angry. He was angry because of Shen Jian's betrayal. He put his hands on his hips and was so angry that smoke came out of his nostrils: "Don't let me catch Shen, or I will peel off a layer of skin from him."
Zhou Chunfeng was too lazy to pay attention to the little thoughts of the people in front of him, just as Ming Yi came over to report.
"Master, we have discovered the Huai Army's military supplies hidden within the city. As instructed, 30% have been left in Huizhou City, and the remaining 70% have been loaded onto carriages."
Several deputy generals had never seen Ming Yi before and were curious about which group of new recruits he was. When they heard him address Zhou Chunfeng, they were shocked for a long time.
What master, what subordinate!
Do the soldiers under Zhou Chunfeng's command disrespect the Second Master? Do they know who their master is?
Unexpectedly, Zhou Chunfeng responded directly in front of them, "Okay, give the order. Leave 100 soldiers in the city with Deputy General Hong and the Second Master. The rest will follow me, Deputy General Xiao, and Deputy General Qin to rush to the middle of the Hong River to meet the Master."
"Yes."
Deputy Generals Qin and Xiao were stunned for a moment. Although they were shocked, they thought that the traitor Shen Jian would join forces with the Huai Army to deal with them, so they hurriedly said, "Okay, we'll go and make some preparations."
After they finished speaking, they turned and left the front hall.
Deputy General Hong and Xiao Chao, who were left alone in the hall, looked at each other and looked at Zhou Chunfeng in confusion.
When Xiao Chao heard that he was going to stay, he immediately refused: "No, Lao Zhou, why are you going to keep me here?"
Zhou Chunfeng stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder: "Huizhou City is now stable, but there is only Deputy General Hong guarding the city, so it is inevitable that he will be careless."
Vice General Hong: ...
He was suspected of having a heart attack, but he didn't have the nerve to refute it.
Zhou Chunfeng continued, "I sent people to Yanzhou City last night. Vice Admiral Cheng will soon dispatch a group of troops from Yanzhou City. At that time, the defense of Huizhou City will be handed over to Vice Admiral Hong alone. You will then rush to Jingzhou to reunite with us. This is my idea."
When Deputy General Hong heard that it was the master's idea, the resentment in his heart wilted!
Xiao Chao didn't believe it: "How could I not know what my elder brother meant?"
"Well, it was indeed Master's idea."
Zhou Chunfeng knew that Xiao Chao would not believe it, but Xiao Chao had to stay.
The battle of Jingzhou City was fraught with danger. No matter what, the Xiao family had to leave a branch behind.
If the rebels can win a great victory in this battle, they will not have to worry about insufficient troops or the loss of morale in the future.
The battle in the Central Plains is a big gamble, and the Xiao family cannot put all their bets on it.
Xiao Chao was stunned, feeling unwilling. He didn't want to miss the famous scene of the battle between several armies, but when facing Zhou Chunfeng's determined gaze, he noticed something strange.
Zhou Chunfeng said with a heavy heart: "Guard Huizhou City well, buddy, I'll wait for you to come!"
"Okay!" Xiao Chao gritted his teeth and raised his hand to shake hands with him.
Zhou Chunfeng withdrew his hand and patted Lieutenant General Hong on the shoulder. This was the first time he took the initiative to contact Lieutenant General Hong.
This made Deputy General Hong stunned. He felt as if Zhou Chunfeng was going to die.
During the brief eye contact, Deputy General Hong's heart trembled, as if he understood the meaning in Zhou Chunfeng's eyes. He nodded silently and promised to shoulder the heavy responsibility.
Eternal Life Island.
After Jiang Li had taken care of the most pressing matters at hand, she would rise every morning and take the two maids from Zhao and Fang's families up the mountain. Changsheng Island had a pleasant summer climate, and the mountains nurtured many rare and precious medicinal herbs.
I rush back home before noon to accompany my children, and then go to the school in the afternoon to teach the little girls how to identify medicine. I use the freshly picked herbs every day as real references and carefully explain the functions of the herbs to the children.
The fulfilling time allowed Jiang Li to gradually regain the enthusiasm he had for work before.
Sometimes when Anger was tired of playing, he would sneak into the girls' school to find his mother, or hide in a small corner of the classroom and listen to the lessons.
Hmm - the little guy said that although he didn't understand, he just wanted to listen to his mother talk.
Jing Ge'er is still as tough as ever. He will never be idle if he can play, will never lie down if he can run, and will never be quiet if he can make noise. Every night after dinner, he is the first one to go to bed.
There was one thing that made Jiang Li look at this kid with admiration. Among the brothers, Jing Ge'er was the most interested in martial arts. The little guy learned it very well, whether it was horse stance or punching and kicking.
Since moving into this square city, Aowu's range of activities has expanded. When the children and guards of Jianglin Pavilion first saw it, they were so scared that goose bumps appeared all over their bodies and they didn't dare to make any noise in front of it.
As they gradually got to know each other, they realized that the wild wolf had no ill intentions towards them.
Even when you pass by it, Aowu is sometimes too lazy to look up!
Everyone said: This wild wolf has a strong personality.
No matter how busy Jiang Li is on weekdays, she will always take some time to pay attention to the studies of Que Ge'er and Heng Ge'er. Her cousin uncle and Uncle Qi often praise Heng Ge'er in front of her, saying that he is a very talented child and has the potential to study for the imperial examinations. His little brain works very quickly and he can learn a lot of knowledge after being taught once, as if he has the ability to remember everything he sees.
Jiang Li was surprised when he heard this.
Could it be that Brother Heng inherited Zhou Chunfeng's talent for having a photographic memory?
Yiheng has been a sharp-minded and extremely sensitive child since he was young. He is usually quiet and looks like he has a lot on his mind to anyone who sees him.
Therefore, Jiang Li specially arranged a talkative boy to be with Heng Ge'er. No matter what, the boy would really become depressed even if he was not sick.
Que Ge'er is a very hardworking student, with a strong foundation and a willingness to put in the work. With Heng Ge'er as a comparison and the expectations of his elders behind him, Que Ge'er dares not slack off for even a moment, fearing he will disappoint his elders.
Dabao, who goes to school with him, is just four years old. He is still at the age of playing and cannot resist the pressure of his grandfather and father to study. He spends most of his time sleeping in class.
Uncle Clan and Uncle Qi taught him the basics because the child was still young. The two elders believed that children should not be forced to study so as not to develop a rebellious mentality. When he was two years older and could no longer be controlled, he really didn't want to come to school.
After the Jianglin Pavilion Girls' School opened, Ming Jie'er also moved from her brother's school and attended classes with the little girls in the clan and began to learn to identify medicinal herbs.
Under Jiang Li's management, Changsheng Island gradually developed along the route she planned. Unknowingly, everything seemed to remain unchanged, but they were slowly changing.
