One thousand two hundred light cavalry are located in the hinterland of the south of the Yangtze River, but no one cares about it.

Xiao Zhiyan and Che Feng discussed for a long time and decided to let the Shang Alliance guards secretly escort Fan Yi through Fuyang County, Hangzhou to eastern Zhejiang to avoid attracting attention and attracting Hangzhou defenders to block them. Don’t hurt your wife and the prince during the melee.

Xiao Zhiyan was worried and accompanied Fan Yi to leave first.

Che Feng led his army to stay around Taihu Lake, contacted the messenger of the Shang League, and asked for the next plan. He always thought that Ning Shao and Hangzhou's troops should go north, and he would have to turn back when he went back.

Three days after Fan Yi left, light rain continued, the air was moist, and Changdang Lake was covered with a layer of smoke.

Che Feng re-used his old tricks and went to Jintan County to ask for food and supplies. The county magistrate was put on his neck with his knife and obediently provided military rations for seven days.

Before the news of the Shang League came, the scout who was looking for the news by the river returned with a horse.

"Report to the general that something big happened."

These scouts all went south from the grassland. They experienced more battles, and today they were a little stuttering.

"What's wrong?"

Che Feng looked angry. He killed the Great Khan of Mobei and shot and killed the Jurchen Beile, and the most disgraceful subordinates.

"The Qing barbarians crossed the river!" The scout calmed down and first told the shocking news, and then explained in detail. "Last night, I saw scattered cavalry appearing on the official road near the river. This morning, the defeated soldiers were everywhere. I took a free throw and caught a man to question him. I realized that the Qing barbarians crossed the river in heavy fog and the troops fled."

Che Feng flew up and pedaled on the willow tree beside him, drew his sword and slashed into the wood, cursing: "Damn it, what a bunch of waste? Hundreds of thousands of people, I have never heard of a war."

After scolding, he finished venting his anger, he pulled out the long sword from the heart of the tree and ordered: "Call the troops and go to the river to take a look!"

The light cavalry of the Han army was trained by Xiao Zhiyan, and Ji Hong was briefly in charge. After heading south to Jiangnan, although Xiao Zhiyan was still under the prestigious command, the actual military power was in the hands of Che Feng. This cavalry had the rebellious aura of horse thieves from the beginning, and was mixed with Tumotes. It was the worst military discipline and the most courageous in Ning Shao's army.

One thousand two hundred cavalry marched from Jintan to Changzhou Prefecture, and the chariots pulled out the banner of Ningshao Town.

Thirty miles away, the official road was filled with fleeing officers and soldiers blocking the way. The wind of the car was furious and shouted, "Get out of the way."

No one will listen to him at this time.

Che Feng is in a bad mood, so someone is in trouble.

"shoot!"

I haven't killed anyone for a long time. The sparse rain of arrows fell, and each arrow will hit one person.

The defeated soldiers on the official road realized that the people coming towards him were more vicious than the Qing emperors, so they turned around and fled in all directions and made way out of the official road.

The light cyclist walked very fast, and passed Changzhou Prefecture to Wuxi. There were fewer pedestrians on the road. There were not many people fleeing, and the defeated soldiers were almost the same as they could. The Wuxi city gate was closed, and the wind of the carriage looked at the city for a moment, urging the troops to leave.

Seeing that the situation was not good and the situation was like a mountain collapse, Ning Shao's army heading north had no trace. In desperation, Che Feng had to decide to go south and return to Ningbo Prefecture.

The cavalry walked along Taihu Lake to Suzhou. The scout reported that there was a row of cavalry of four or five hundred men marching in front.

The light cavalry surrounded it like a pack of wolves. The fog was heavy by the lake. After running for half an hour, he finally saw the figures of the soldiers and horses in front of him.

Those people were slow to react and were not the opponents of this group of wolf cavalry. Only when the two wings were about to complete the encirclement could the hundreds of cavalry react.

After a few rounds of bows and arrows, the man on the opposite side was overturned, and someone shouted: "It's all the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, don't get me wrong."

Che Feng raised his hand and ordered his subordinates to stop attacking and urged him to move forward.

A cavalry opposite urged the horse to come over and shouted: "This is the army of Lord Yang, the commander of the Yangtze River. How dare you attack randomly?"

"Aren't you a deserter?" Che Feng pretended to be stupid.

A thin and pale general urged him to come immediately and asked, "You are a cavalry in Ningshao Town, how could you appear here?"

"I am ordered to go north to defend the river defense!" Che Feng spread his hands, "but I don't need it now."

"I am Yang Wencong, the commander of the Yangtze River patrol!" The general sighed, "The river defense has been lost. Follow me to guard Suzhou. I will report your contribution to the court." Seeing that the elite cavalry under Che Feng suddenly seemed to have found a support.

Che Feng wanted to mock him a few words, but after hearing him say it, he felt a stir and bowed and replied, "There are still troops from Zhejiang in the Ming Dynasty. Please retreat to Suzhou and Hangzhou."

The people who died in front died in vain. The two armies merged and 1,600 cavalrymen arrived outside Suzhou City in the afternoon.

Yang Wencong's banner is still very useful. The city gates are opened and the troops enter the city.

There were only 500 soldiers and horses in Suzhou City, and all the soldiers and horses in Zhejiang were ordered to concentrate on Hangzhou to defend Zhai Zhe to head north.

The Suzhou prefect could not be found, so Yang Wencong ordered the Dushi to prepare food and supplies for the soldiers and horses. While Che Feng sent people to eastern Zhejiang to report, he also inquire about the news from Nanjing.

In the southern Zhili and all over Zhejiang, the governor could not find the general, the general could not find the soldiers, the prefect disappeared, and the county magistrate left with his seal. The people kept the door tightly at home, and it was all up to God to decide their fate. Anyway, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was not very good, so it might be better if he changed it.

Six days after the Qing Dynasty crossed the river, Che Feng stayed in Suzhou City for the third day.

In three days, Yang Wencong summoned the government runners and posted notices, distributing military salaries to recruit strong men to defend the city. Only about 300 people got up, and the others hid far away after reading the notice.

"This is the hearts of the people in Jiangnan!" Yang Wencong was in tears.

On the fourth day, news of the fall of Nanjing came, and the capital of the Xin Dynasty was only guarded for three days.

If Yangzhou has only been in charge for ten days, it is shocking that it is already the best result now.

"The situation is over!" Che Feng and Yang Wencong looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

In the evening, two cavalrymen rushed into Suzhou City, negotiated with the soldiers guarding the city, and found Che Feng's barracks. When they saw Che Feng, the man took out the token from his arms: "After the order of the Lord, you will be ordered to return to Ningbo Prefecture."

"Why don't you go north?" The wind of the car was anxious. He entered Suzhou to occupy the city for Ning Shao. Unexpectedly, Zhai Zhe ordered him to withdraw his troops.

The man was Zhai Zhe's personal soldier, and he shook his head and said, "I just want to convey the orders! I don't know anything else!"

"Where is the adult now?"

"Stationed to the Qiantang River."

Seeing that it was getting late today, Che Feng found Yang Wencong and told him the orders from Ning Shaojun Town.

"If the Zhejiang General Fang Guoan does not go north, you and I cannot defend Suzhou City here, so I should retreat."

Yang Wencong was already numb. Nanjing was lost. Officials and gentry from all over the country were secretly contacting the Qing barbarians and preparing to surrender. Without Che Feng's cavalry, he was afraid that he would not be safe in Suzhou and would be bound to Nanjing.

"I want to take the money from the warehouse." Che Feng said bluntly, and it was a bit rewarding.

"Take it away, and leave it to the Qing captains if you don't take it away!" Yang Wencong felt as if he was so sad.

"There are also Zhu Dusi and those officials and gentry who have been sending people to Nanjing these days. Those families cannot stay, so they will also give people a warning."

Suzhou City is so big that the wind cannot be watched, so people only guard the road to the north. Anyway, those who go to Nanjing at this time are not good people. After arresting a few messengers for questioning, the people who were preparing to surrender in Suzhou City all surfaced.

"It's time to kill!" Yang Wencong gritted his teeth.

"Please order the Lord to summon Zhudusi to discuss matters."

One hour later, it was already dark.

The streets in Suzhou City were covered with darkness and no pedestrians were seen. Since Yang Wencong entered Suzhou City, he announced a curfew. After the hour of Hai, people who were wandering around the streets were arrested and beheaded.

Zhu Dusi took two followers like mice crawling out of a cave, and walked one step and two steps towards the government office. He didn't want to come, but he didn't dare not come. There was no news about the servants sent to Nanjing. Now Yang Wencong is the largest official in Suzhou City, and the cavalry in Ningshao Town looked scary.

The three of them asked for instructions outside the door. The guard led the three into the back garden. After walking a few steps in the dark road, a row of soldiers holding torches rushed out of the wing room.

"Catch it!" Yang Wencong gave the order.

The bright knife was immediately placed on the necks of the three of them.

"Why do you want to arrest me?" Zhu Dusi looked like a slut, and he wanted to argue.

Che Feng stepped forward and slapped half of his mouth, "Don't talk when you haven't asked you." Yang Wencong was stunned.

"There is a list here. Please ask Zhu Dusi to lead the way and identify all these companies."

Che Feng smiled grimly and opened the note in his hand.

The soldiers put the blade on their necks in and the blood dripped from their necks on Zhu Dusi's hands. The people brought out by these horse bandits were very direct.

For a quarter of an hour, the soldiers holding the torch high walked out of the government office, and four or five places in Suzhou City spent the night in chaos.

The next morning, Yang Wencong was in charge of the prison in front of the Sipailou, beheading three officials and gentry secretly who had secretly communicated with the Qing army and Zhu Dusi. The chefeng loaded the silver and supplies of eight carriages, opened the warehouse, and sent all the food to the onlookers. In the afternoon, a row of cavalry retreated towards Hangzhou.

There was a 100,000 taels of silver in the warehouse in Suzhou, and the house was searched and obtained 130,000 taels of silver. It was urgent. Everyone had no time to carefully search where the silver cellars of those families were hidden. Just those officials and gentry, which one of them had no less than 100,000 taels of silver.

When he arrived at the Jiaxing Prefecture, Che Feng was very careful.

"Mr. Yang, I'm ordered to go back to Ningshao. Where are you going?"

"Why go to Hangzhou first?"

Che Feng's head was shaking like a rattle, "Don't go." He brought so much gold, silver and wealth to Hangzhou, wouldn't it be like a sheep entering the mouth of a wolf?

"The adults have a contribution to these silver. I will give them 20,000 taels to them, and I will bring the rest back to Ning Shao."

"This is the silver of the national treasury!" Yang Wencong was unwilling to accept it.

Che Feng shook his head and smiled and said, "If it weren't for me, these would be the silver from the Qing Lu Treasury."

Judging from the attitude of the car Feng, Yang Wencong knew that it was useless to strongly say it was useless. He still wanted to go to Hangzhou and find an opportunity to contact the chief assistant Ma Shiying and the emperor.

The two teams immediately parted ways. Che Feng divided 20,000 taels of silver for Yang Wencong, and escorted the carriage through Fuyang County, the upper reaches of Qiantang River and returned to the eastern mountainous area of ​​Zhejiang to Ningshao.
Chapter completed!
