Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 294 Sudden
"Your Highness the Crown Prince..." Dong Cheng was about to cry but had no tears. He was really afraid of whatever he wanted.

Zhu Xiuyuan secretly pursed his lips and secretly despised the Crown Prince.

What is the important task of supervising post-disaster reconstruction!

What kind of trust does His Majesty have in the Prince!
What kind of test does His Majesty put on the Crown Prince!

Heavy responsibilities, trust, tests, etc. are all excuses!
If not, then the prince would not drink and have fun here, but play the piano for fun all day long...

What supervised the post-disaster reconstruction? Zhu Xiuyuan had never seen him ask about this aspect!
So Zhu Xiuyuan was a little confused about this prince.

You may say that he is careless, but at critical moments, he can make some sense.

Even though he knew it was dangerous to stay in Jiangzhou, he still refused to leave...

What on earth is going on in his head?
...In the end, Dong Cheng and Zhu Xiuyuan failed and returned.

His Highness the Crown Prince didn't know why he was so crazy. He refused to retreat and refused to listen to anything he said. He insisted that this was a test put to him by His Majesty and the Concubine, and he could not escape.

With no other choice, Dong Cheng and Zhu Xiuyuan had to give up.

After this incident, the prince seemed to have changed. He really started to ask about post-disaster reconstruction.

Liu Wencai was also caught by him.

……

The next day.

The back hall of the state government office.

Dong Cheng, Zhu Xiuyuan, Li Linzhou and other Yamen officials, as well as the prince and Liu Wencai, all gathered together to discuss the changes in Beiyuan.

A quarter of an hour later, before everyone could come up with a solution, a yamen clerk came to report: "To the Governor, Your Highness the Prince, and all your lords, the King of Poyang sent a general to ask Zhu about something important. Sima and the Governor are already waiting outside the Yamen."

King Poyang sent someone here?
Dong Cheng, Zhu Xiuyuan and others looked at each other. The prince sent someone, and at this time, it might not be a good thing.

Everyone's hearts sank, and they had already made some guesses, but it was difficult to make a conclusion before seeing the person coming, so everyone remained silent and did not speak.

Only Dong Cheng said: "Oh, invite people in."

"Yes, my lord!"

The scribe turned around and went down. Everyone was silent. After waiting for a while, the scribe came here with a family member. This family general had a silver helmet and silver armor, majestic weapons, and a dragon and a tiger. It was indeed the attire of a general of the Poyang Prince's Palace.

"Your Highness the Prince, Lord Governor, Lord Sima, and all the other gentlemen here, please forgive me for not being able to salute the young general because he is wearing armor. I hope you will forgive me."

Everyone was silent, staring at the general with a huge stone hanging in their hearts.

Only Dong Cheng said: "The envoy came here, I don't know what the lord's order is, but it is because of the change in Beiyuan?"

The general of the family cupped his hands and said: "What the governor said is true, the prince has just received the report, the iron hoof of the Northern Yuan Dynasty has been locked down several times in the south, and at the same time, the Dafan living on the southwest plateau has also frequently changed..."

"But the most important thing now is that the king of Shaozhou has rebelled! The rebels have gathered an army of more than 30, claiming to be [-], including [-] elites. They have raised the banner of rebellion in the land of Shaozhou and have already attacked The situation in Yongzhou, Tanzhou and Hengzhou counties is critical."

"The imperial court urgently ordered the prince to lead his troops to quell the rebellion. The prince is reorganizing his troops and will send out the sacrificial flag this afternoon. Before the expedition, the prince would like to meet Zhu Sima. I wish you the best, Mr. Sima. I am waiting at the Jiangzhou camp. Please Let’s go with the young general.”

After the general said what he said, Dong Cheng and others were shocked to the core.

Bei Yuan really fought against Liang Guo.

Dafan also moved "as promised".

The most terrifying thing is that the King of Shaozhou really rebelled!
Everything happened so suddenly!

Dong Cheng and Zhu Xiuyuan, the two sons-in-law, only learned of the news of Beiyuan's movement yesterday, but they did not expect that King Poyang would lead his troops to go on an expedition today.Everything happened so fast!
Zhu Xiuyuan originally expected that there would be at least four or five days of buffer time.

But the reality is like this, it always catches people off guard.

"Congratulations to Lord Sima? Congratulations to Lord Sima?"

The general saw that Zhu Xiuyuan was in a daze, as if he was in a daze, so he spoke to remind him.

After Zhu Xiuyuan came to his senses, the general raised his hand again and said: "Master Sima, the prince is about to go on an expedition, and the military affairs are complicated. Please follow the young general to leave for the Jiangzhou camp immediately. The prince is waiting to see you."

Zhu Xiuyuan pursed his lips and couldn't help looking at Dong Cheng.

Dong Cheng frowned, waved his hand and said, "Since the prince has summoned me, you should hurry up and don't keep the prince waiting."

So Zhu Xiuyuan set off immediately and followed the general, taking only Yan Dashan with him.

They rode fast horses and went straight from Jiangzhou Yamen to Jiangzhou Camp.

Jiangzhou Camp is on the other side of Poyang Lake, thirty miles south of Poyang Palace, not too far away.

Galloping all the way, changing boats to cross the lake, then riding fast horses, running all the way, it seemed that in just the blink of an eye, Zhu Xiuyuan and the others had arrived at the Jiangzhou camp.

Jiangzhou Camp was a military camp set up by the imperial court on the bank of Poyang Lake to guard the three states surrounding Poyang Lake.

Chen's army numbered [-], led by King Poyang.

Of course, in addition to guarding Jiangzhou, Hongzhou, and Raozhou, it also has the function of guarding the borders of Chen State.

Because Jiangzhou is a border state, north of the Yangtze River is the territory of the Yan Kingdom.

After Zhu Xiuyuan arrived at the Jiangzhou camp, he quickly walked into the camp gate and looked up, only to see countless soldiers busy.

They were all preparing for the expedition in the afternoon, busy but not chaotic, and in order.

In this way, we can also see that King Poyang managed the army well.

As soon as he stepped into the military camp, Zhu Xiuyuan felt strange in his heart.

On the way to the Chinese army's tent, in addition to scanning all the strange things in the camp, Zhu Xiuyuan was also thinking: "I heard my father-in-law mentioned that although the soldiers of Chen State are many in number, they are very few elites. Jiangzhou is commanded by King Poyang. The [-] soldiers in the camp can be regarded as one of the few elites... However, the King of Shaozhou guards the entire Guizhou region and has done a lot of actual combat. The soldiers under his command are even more elite among the elite, with astonishing combat power..."

While he was thinking wildly, the general who led the way stopped, but he had already arrived at the Chinese army's tent.

Zhu Xiuyuan entered alone.

When he looked up, he saw a veteran general sitting in the main seat of the big tent. He was wearing armor and had a solemn expression. He was holding a document and looking at it carefully.

This person is King Poyang.

"The next official pays homage to the prince!"

Zhu Xiuyuan took two steps forward and bowed his hands in greeting.

The King of Poyang had already discovered Zhu Xiuyuan. He put the documents in his hand, waved his hands, and said solemnly: "Nephew, you are here, so you don't need to be polite. By the way, the general has told you everything, right?"

"Your Majesty, your subordinates, all officials in the Yamen, and His Highness the Crown Prince are all aware of this."

"Okay!" King Poyang stood up, shook his cloak, and walked down slowly, making the armor all over his body jingle, giving him the feeling of an iron-blooded soldier.

"Since my virtuous nephew already knows all about it, then I will not talk nonsense. Time is precious, so I will speak up when I have something to say."
