Outside the city of Huai'an Prefecture, three thousand military camps were transported by water.

Qianhu of Shenji Camp took Zhao Shiqi's token and headed to the military camp of Sanqian Camp as quickly as possible.

This is a hard job, and can even be said to be a life-threatening job, but Shenjiying Qianhu has no time to hesitate, he must carry out Zhao Shiqi's order.

It is almost impossible to take charge of the Three Thousand Water Transport Battalion. Who doesn't know that the Three Thousand Water Transport Battalion was established by Wu Zongrui, the prefect of Huai'an Prefecture, and was under absolute control. Outsiders could not interfere with it.

Qianhu of the Shenji Camp understood that Zhao Shiqi's request for him to take over the Three Thousand Water Transport Battalion was just an excuse. There was no expectation that he could truly control the officers and sergeants of the Three Thousand Battalion. Once Qianhu of the Shenji Camp was unable to take over the Three Thousand Water Transport Battalion, Zhao Shiqi

It was necessary to write a memorial to the imperial court, reporting that the magistrate of Huai'an Prefecture had intervened in the matter of transporting soldiers by water, with the intention of treason.

Therefore, Qianhu of the Shenji Battalion must go to the barracks of the Caoyun Three Thousand Battalion.

Dust was flying on the road, and the military camp of the Three Thousand Canal Transport Battalion was just ahead.

The face of Qianhu of the Shenji Camp became solemn. When he came to take over the Three Thousand Water Transport Battalion, he only brought a dozen or so people with him. These are his personal soldiers who will follow him to the death. If anything happens to the Three Thousand Water Transport Battalion,

If there is any trouble in the military camp, these people will do their best to protect him and escape from the military camp.

Of course, Qianhu of the Shenji Battalion was also lucky. He believed that the sergeants of the Three Thousand Battalion would not take action, but they would not carry out Zhao Shiqi's military orders.

When gods fight, little devils suffer.

Thousands of households in Shenji camp can only recognize it.

...

Huai'an government office.

Zeng Yongzhong looked at Wu Zongrui anxiously.

"My lord, please think twice. If you do this, there will be no way out."

"Sir, do you think I have a way out? Zhao Shiqi has already broken up with me. I expected that he would use the Three Thousand Canal Transport Battalion to make a fuss and report me for treason. If he didn't do this, it would be really strange.

, at this time, I have no time to hesitate, and the troops are moving in danger. Only by completely defeating Zhao Shiqi can we truly gain a foothold in Huai'an Mansion."

"I know all this, but if you do this, won't you give Zhao Shiqi an excuse? Once he writes a memorial to the court, won't you be convicted of the crime of treason? If the court really pursues you for the crime of treason..."

"I understand what you mean, sir. Well, just based on Zhao Shiqi's memorial, the court decided that I was treason. Isn't it a big joke? The Governor's Office of Water Transport didn't say anything, and Mr. Yang didn't express his position. It was Zhao Shiqi's turn to speak. I thought,

Zhao Shiqi's writing of the memorial will at most cause some controversy within the DPRK."

Zeng Yongzhong's face turned slightly pale and he lowered his head and thought for a moment.

"My lord, what you said makes sense, but it's still too risky."

"When it's time to take risks, we must take risks. Otherwise, we will be controlled by others and will not be able to do anything well in the future."

"If Mr. Yang also prefers Zhao Shiqi, what should I do?"

Wu Zongrui looked at Zeng Yongzhong with a strange smile on his face.

"Sir, you are always good at analysis. How come you have lost your judgment on such a major matter? The Three Thousand Water Transport Battalion has been around for more than a day or two. Mr. Yang is directly responsible for all matters related to the water transport of soldiers. If the water transport of soldiers gets out of control, Mr. Yang

How to explain to the emperor and the court, how to completely shirk responsibility..."

Zeng Yongzhong looked at Wu Zongrui and raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

...

Zeng Yongzhong hurried into the wing room again.

"Sir, Liu Ning sent someone to report that Zhao Shiqi ordered the thousand households of the Shenji Camp to take over the 3,000 water transport battalion. The thousand households of the Shenji Camp have already gone to the military camp."

"I understand, tell Liu Ning and follow the plan we determined."

Zeng Yongzhong's body trembled again, looked at Wu Zongrui, and silently exited the room.

Wu Zongrui clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turned white, and there were drops of sweat on his forehead.

Wu Zongrui always stirs up trouble and is not afraid of trouble. Wu Zongrui, who traveled through time, never thought of giving in, but when doing things, you need to assess the situation. If you just rush and fight blindly, you will not only fail to achieve your goal, but you will also die quickly.

Long Jianhong, the governor of the Caoyun Governor's Mansion, entered the wing.

Wu Zongrui greeted him with a smile on his face and held Long Jianhong's hand.

Long Jianhong was only the eighth-rank governor of the Water Transport Governor's Mansion, while Wu Zongrui was the fourth-rank governor of Huai'an Prefecture, and the right-hand censor of the Nanjing Supervisory Office. Regardless of status or status, they were much higher than Long Jianhong.

But today, Long Jianhong, representing the Governor of Water Transport Yang Yipeng, Wu Zongrui must show a cordial and humble attitude.

"Master Long is coming to the government office for the first time. There are few visitors. Mr. Zeng, please ask Yin Hotel to prepare a fine banquet. I will have a good chat with Master Long later..."

After Zeng Yongzhong made tea for Long Jianhong, he nodded in agreement and exited the side room.

Long Jianhong and Wu Zongrui were left in the room.

Long Jianhong's expression became serious, and he looked at Wu Zongrui and spoke.

"Master Wu, I have made a special trip to visit you today, just to bring you a few words from the Governor."

"If you have any requests, just ask Master Long."

"Mr. Yang doesn't want anything to go wrong in Huai'an City, let alone the Water Transport Governor's Mansion. It would be best for Mr. Wu and Mr. Zhao to take a step back..."

Wu Zongrui listened very carefully and nodded frequently.

When Long Jianhong finished speaking, Wu Zongrui spoke next.

"Master Long, you know that there are some things that I can't help. Since Master Long said it so directly, please help me give me some suggestions on what I should do next. After all, I am the prefect of Huai'an Prefecture. If

There have been fluctuations in Huai'an Fucheng, and I have an unshirkable responsibility."

Long Jianhong looked at Wu Zongrui and blinked. He had never thought that Wu Zongrui's attitude was so humble. Master Yang Yipeng had carefully analyzed it before coming. I am afraid that this time's persuasion would be quite difficult.

"This, I can't tell you how to do it specifically, and I haven't thought about it seriously..."

"Master Long, don't be modest. I am asking for advice sincerely. I have not been in Huai'an Mansion for a long time, and I am not particularly familiar with many situations. This water transportation matter affects the whole body, so I must be careful. I also

I know that Mr. Yang has worked hard for the water transportation and never wants any turmoil in the water transportation. As the prefect, I am under the control of Mr. Yang. If I don't obey Mr. Yang's orders, there will be no excuse for me."

Long Jianhong was stunned for a moment and looked at Wu Zongrui seriously again.

Perhaps Wu Zongrui was too young. After a short time, Long Jianhong finally spoke again.

"Well, if your Excellency must ask for your advice, I will be bold. I believe that there are two ways to deal with the current situation. One is to maintain the original status of the water transport terminal. What was said before will be done in the future.

, As for the matter of maintaining order at the water transport terminal, I am optimistic about your lord."

"The second is to make some appropriate adjustments. For example, regarding the water transportation documents, how much is the Yuntian Gang's responsibility and how much is the Xinyi Gang's responsibility? Let's put it on the table. As long as both parties are willing, everything can be easily solved."

...

Wu Zongrui had a smile on his face, but there was not much smile in his eyes.

Long Jianhong avoided the biggest issue, or Yang Yipeng avoided the biggest issue, which was the matter of the Three Thousand Water Transport Battalion. Wu Zongrui had already planned to have Liao Wenru and his sergeants completely withdraw from the Three Thousand Water Transport Battalion. It was just such a critical moment.

, a hasty withdrawal would give Zhao Shiqi an excuse, and at the same time arouse Yang Yipeng's suspicion, so there is no move for the time being, but there is no doubt that more than 3,000 soldiers will withdraw completely sooner or later.

However, Long Jianhong did not mention the matter of water transportation for the three thousand battalions.

The interests of the wharf and water transportation are nothing compared with the three thousand canal operations.

Wu Zongrui believed that Zhao Shiqi must have gone to the governor's office and reported to Yang Yipeng, and he must have talked about the matter of water transport for the Three Thousand Battalions.

Many things in the officialdom can only be understood but not expressed in words, so Wu Zongrui would never directly talk about the matter of the Three Thousand Water Transport Battalion.

"Master Long said it well. It is really to stabilize the situation in Huai'an Fucheng. I will seriously consider it. It's just that this dispute was initiated by the Yuntian Gang. In order to maintain the stability of the water transport terminal, the Xinyi Gang has already made arrangements.

I show full sincerity, but it’s a pity that the Yuntian Gang is unwilling to let it go, so there is nothing we can do.”

Long Jianhong nodded and spoke quickly.

"I also know some of the situation that your Excellency mentioned. I believe that as long as the Yuntian Gang and the Xinyi Gang can sit down and talk, this dispute can be eliminated."

"Oh, Master Long, does he really have such strong confidence?"

Long Jianhong thought of something, looked at Wu Zongrui, and shook his head thoughtfully.

"Well, your Excellency has overestimated the ability of Xiaguan. How can Xiaguan have such ability? Xiaguan just hopes that the dispute can be resolved well, and the other Xiaguan does not dare to make any promises."

...

Long Jianhong didn't drink much and was very sober when he left the government office.

After Zeng Yongzhong sent Long Jianhong out of the government office, he hurried back to the wing.

"Sir, how is the situation?"

Wu Zongrui had a gloomy look on his face.

"Humph, it's not that simple if you want me to give in."

Zeng Yongzhong's expression changed instantly.

"Sir, Lord Long is here to represent Lord Yang. If Lord Yang does not favor you, things will be in trouble."

Wu Zongrui shook his head slightly.

"We haven't reached that point yet. Sir, we decided how to do it before. We don't need to consider Master Yang's intention. Since Master Yang specially sent Master Long to come to make peace, it means that Master Yang does not fully support Zhao Shiqi. Otherwise, Master Yang does not fully support Zhao Shiqi.

There is no need to do this. In the current situation, Zhao Shiqi has already taken action. If we obey Master Yang's adjustment, we will be waiting to be beaten."

"The Three Thousand Water Transport Battalion is the key. Master Yang must also be worried about the Three Thousand Water Transport Battalion. If we can take advantage of this opportunity and the Governor's Mansion can completely control the Three Thousand Water Transport Battalion, why not? Zhao Shiqi sent someone to take over

On the surface, the Three Thousand Battalion of Water Transport was Zhao Shiqi’s move, but in fact Master Yang also acquiesced.”

"We can't control that much anymore. We have to strike first. As long as we can completely defeat Zhao Shiqi, we can say anything. Mr. Yang hopes that water transportation will be completely stable, so we will defeat Zhao Shiqi as quickly as possible.
