Hongze Lake.
Tong Guan led the army to arrive late.
Although he led 50000 troops to come here this time, Tong Guan didn't really want to fight with Fang La.
To tell the truth, Tong Guan still hopes to recruit Fang La.
At that time, Fang La was recruited to go to the north to fight with the people of the State of Jin. If the dog bites the dog, it will hurt both.
However, it is also clear that the two sides still need to fight. After all, they will not cooperate honestly until these rebels are convinced.
With this understanding, Tong Guan didn't worry at all. He even stayed in Xuzhou for two days, so he dared to come to Jiangning Mansion without delay.
Sitting in the carriage, Tong Guan lifted the curtain, looked at the boundless Daze in the distance, and said to the guards beside him:
"Where are we now?"
The bodyguard next to Tong Guan hurried to him and said:
"General Tong, the front is Hongze Lake."
Tongguan nodded and said:
"We have already arrived at Hongze Lake, which is really magnificent."
The bodyguard nearby also said:
"General Tong, it is said that the hairy crabs in Hongze Lake are very delicious. Cai Xiang loves the crab roe very much. General Tong, would you like to rest here for a while and find someone to make a hairy crab? Now is the best time to eat hairy crabs."
Hairy crabs, Tong Guan remembered the hairy crabs he had eaten in Cai Mansion before, and he couldn't help but miss them now.
Although there is not much difference between his status and Cai Jing's, Tong Guan has to admit that there is still a big gap between himself and Cai Jing.
At least in terms of food, he is much worse.
Others don't know, but Tong Guan knows that Cai Jing likes hairy crabs very much.
Moreover, Cai Jing eats hairy crabs, never eats crab meat, and only eats crab roe.
Every meal, Cai's family will eat hundreds of hairy crabs, which can't be extravagant anymore.
Tong Guan feels that this is the real life of the upper class. Although Tong Guan has been greedy since he became an official, he is much worse than Cai Jing in spending money.
Tongguan was a little reluctant. Hearing what the bodyguard said, he nodded and ordered:
"The order goes on, and the army will rest in Hongze Lake for one day and start again tomorrow."
The bodyguard didn't expect Tong Guan to directly order the army to rest. He hurriedly said:
"General Tong, we will arrive at Xuancheng soon after 30 miles ahead. Shall we go to the city tonight to rest?"
Tong Guan waved his hand and said to the bodyguard:
"Don't worry. Tonight we will rest by the lake and find some boats. I want to go fishing by boat."
Tong Guan said in a rather leisurely and elegant way.
The bodyguard was ordered to leave.
When Tong Guan looked at the lake in front of him, he suddenly felt that it would be a beautiful thing to ride around and enjoy the scenery of the lake.
However, it's a pity that Tong Guan has no eggs and is not suitable for horse riding, so he has to give up this unrealistic idea.
Among the crowd, Yang Zaixing gathered with several confidants.
Hearing Tong Guan's order, Yang Zaixing really wants to go up and slap Tong Guan, this fool.
According to the news from the Secret Service, Yang Zaixing knew that Fang La's rebels had set an ambush around Hongze Lake, waiting for Tong Guan and others to throw themselves into the net.
Who knew that Tong Guan really cooperated with him, and he came here.
After Zhao Kai and others left that day, Yang Zaixing joined the army, which was trained by him and was Yang Zaixing's absolute family. Therefore, Tong Guan had no idea of his arrival.
Tongguan can't know everyone in a large army of 50000 people. To be honest, Tongguan stays in the carriage most of the time and never comes out, so it's impossible to see Yang Zaixing at all.
Although Yang Zaixing knew that Fangla rebels were ambushing here, he did not intend to tell Tong Guan that he would let this fool survive.
So when the army settled down, Yang Zaixing quietly convened a meeting of generals.
"General Yang, do you have anything important to announce when you suddenly call everyone here?"
A general said to Yang Zaixing.
Yang Zaixing nodded and said:
"We are about to arrive at Jiangning Mansion, so we must keep our spirits up and be careful not to be ambushed by Fangla rebels."
Someone said to Yang Zaixing:
"General Yang, we haven't arrived at Jiangning Mansion yet. Is there any problem?"
Yang Zaixing shook his head and said to the crowd:
"If you go thirty miles further, Xuancheng will be here. To the east of Xuancheng is Jiangning Mansion. Rebels may come out at any time. We must be very careful."
"General Yang, I heard the news from the magistrate of Xuancheng County, asking when the army will arrive in Xuancheng. It sounds normal."
Another general said.
Yang Zaixing could not tell the public that he had got the exact information. After all, there were many people with different tongues, so he could not guarantee that there were already defectors inside. At this time, he was already loyal to Tong Guan. If he said too much, he would expose himself, so he could only say vaguely:
"That being said, we should always be careful."
"When we go back tonight, we should be on guard carefully. In the future, we should assign special personnel to be on duty. Once something happens, we can react to it as soon as possible."
Although they felt that Yang Zaixing was too nervous, they all wrote it down. Although Yang Zaixing was not their general at this time, his habits had not changed for a long time.
……
In Xuancheng City.
Fang La also got the news that Tong Guan stopped at Hongze Lake for the first time.
To tell the truth, when Fang La heard Tong Guan stop, her first reaction was that she was broken and exposed.
He still wondered how he was exposed.
Although they captured Xuancheng, to tell the truth, they did a very good job of confidentiality this time. The magistrate of Xuancheng is still there. In order not to let Tong Guan know that he has occupied Xuancheng, he asked the magistrate of Xuancheng to write a letter to Tong Guan, asking when Tong Guan would arrive.
But soon, the news came from the people below that Tong Guan had been boating on the lake.
At this time, Fang La realized that Tong Guan wanted to play in Hongze Lake instead of exposing himself.
Tong Guan's behavior greatly angered Fang La. It's really deceiving.
This place is for war. Isn't this the place for sightseeing?
Who gave you such courage, Liang Jingru?
This is the reason why we don't pay attention to our people.
Of course, Tong Guan did not pay attention to them. Tong Guan was very clear that his soldiers might not be able to fight against the Jin people, but it was just like playing against these peasant uprisings.
