After Liu Liangzuo's camp was repaired for a day, Zhu Cixuan held a military discussion in the central army's tent and asked about the situation of the remnants of the fifth camp of the Gzuo.

After the old camp of the bandits escaped from Yinghuoshan District, the cavalry had a great advantage in escaping. In the Tianwu Army, only the Royal Cavalry Regiment and the direct cavalry regiment of the Second Brigade of the First Brigade were not dumped and pursued them all the way.

Yang Qilihui reported: "Your Highness, according to the news that Ye Wu did not receive the transmission in front of him, Ma Shouying fled west with the remaining thousands of old battalions. The destination is still unclear. I guess he doesn't even know where to run!"

Zhu Cilang nodded and said, "In the future, the front line information will be reported every day, especially the situation of the thief leader Ma Shouying's troops. We must eliminate them all this time!"

"Yes!" the generals responded.

Huang Degong laughed and said, "Yesterday was so satisfying! What a pity. Brother Zhou was not here. He always wanted to cut off the general's head. It was such a pity!"

"Hahaha!" The generals in the camp laughed.

Zhu Cixuan looked at Huang Degong and said, "I heard that you also drank when you were fighting against the bandits in Lu'an. Is this a matter?"

The tent that was originally laughing suddenly became quiet. The generals immediately straightened their bodies and looked at the crown prince nervously. The atmosphere was a little frozen for a moment.

Huang Degong hurriedly said, "Your Highness, drinking before the war has been my habit for many years. The more I drink, the more I kill the enemy, the more I will kill. Besides, I have never missed something!"

Zhu Ciyang frowned and said, "You are the head coach of the first brigade now. You are not the general who charges in every battle before. The head coach must take charge in the central army, coordinate the overall situation, and consider the lives of the soldiers of the entire army!"

Zhu Cixuan said seriously: "In the future, when encountering war, you are not allowed to drink or touch a drop!"

"This..." Huang Degong stroked his hands, looked at Zhu Cilang's solemn gaze, immediately stood up straight, and shouted: "Yes, the general will take the order!"

Zhu Ciyang nodded and said, "Each unit is ready for combat, and the army will set up camp to Wuchang tomorrow!"

"Yes!" the generals responded in unison.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Wuchang is the capital of Huguang, which is the two provinces of Hubei and Hunan in later generations. The Ming Dynasty did not have a permanent governor of Huguang. The position of governor of Huguang was established during the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty established a total of two governors in Huguang, one was the governor of Huguang and the other was the governor of Panyuan. In fact, he was in charge of Hubei and Hunan.

The governor of Huguang, Ji Haoyan, the governor of Panyuan, was sitting in the study room, sitting on the chair of the Grand Master, with his eyes closed. His right hand was placed on the table and gently tapped the table, making a rhythmic sound in the quiet study room.

Sitting next to Ji Haoyan was a frown aide. This was his confidant. He had just received the news that the crown prince was going to visit Wuchang Prefecture in person.

Ji Haoyan frowned and said, "What did the Crown Prince really say with the commanders of each guard?"

The staff member nodded and said, "Yes, the commander of Wuchang Guard and Changsha Guard have met students today. The two said similarly. Several commander of the guards sent people to ask questions, wanting to know what the adults think."

What do I think? I want the crown prince to return to the capital or fall into the water. Can it be realized?

Ji Haoyan naturally could not speak such rebellious words to his aides. He pondered: "The crown prince went south this time and served as the governor of the five provinces. He also had a Longjie Shangfang, a guard of the emperor, and had an opportunity to make decisions on the affairs of Jiangnan. He took action first and then reported power. Now it is not what I want to do, but what their guards want to do."

The staff said: "The meaning of each guard is naturally to keep his wealth. Everyone has seen the consequences of more than a dozen guards in Nanzhili. Many generals only exchanged tens of thousands of acres of land for 500 acres of land and a banner. Who can bear this!"

Ji Haoyan nodded. This was indeed too much. If the tens of thousands of acres of fertile land under his name were replaced by this thing, it would be a pity for the royal palace to become a broken courtyard. Whoever lives in it would be sad.

The staff continued: "From the students' perspective, the crown prince acts ruthlessly and never shows mercy in his work. The three generals of Liu Liangzuo and others are the best proof. When he comes to Huguang, he kills people and does not give anyone any face. If we don't do it, we can't even save our lives."

Ji Haoyan felt even more confused after hearing this and said, "What does the governor of Huguang Fang Kongzhao say? If he could stand by our side, it would not be so easy for the crown prince to touch our Huguang."

The staff smiled bitterly and said, "The student heard that Lord Fang is preparing to surrender to the crown prince, and even the yellow book of Huguang is ready."

Ji Haoyan said irritably: "This guy is really...what should we do? Success or reverse?"

"It is good to be smooth, but everything is about profit. The crown prince gave too little profit, and it can be said that there is no one. We still want to pay for it. Who is willing to be smooth? As for this rebellion..."

The staff member was silent for a while, walked to Ji Haoyan, and lowered his voice and said, "Students have followed the adults for many years, and they cannot repay their great kindness. Over the years, they can only do things seriously. Now that the adults are in trouble, the students have no choice but to do their duty. Now that the student has a plan, it depends on whether the adults have the courage."

Ji Haoyan looked at the aide's solemn look and knew that he hadn't held back any good birds, so he asked, "Tell me!"

The staff member's eyes appeared cold and his face showed a fierce look, and he said, "Falling in the water!"

"There are thousands of personal guards around the crown prince. It is difficult to attack on land. If you want to deal with him secretly, you can only take action when he is walking on the water. Taking advantage of his crossing the river to Wuchang, it is the best opportunity!"

Ji Haoyan was shocked when he heard this and thought to himself that this aide is so brave that he dared to plan such a traitor, but I like it!

Things have reached this point. It’s either 500 acres of land and a banner, or a fish-dead net, and there’s no choice. No wonder the crown prince’s dragon boat sank into the river twice in Taiping Prefecture. It turns out that someone has done this long ago.

Ji Haoyan said in confusion: "This is not the first time this kind of thing has happened, so they have not taken any precautions?"

"As the saying goes, guns are easy to avoid hidden arrows but difficult to defend against. We can arrange them in the river, for example..." As he said that, the staff gestured a circle.

Ji Haoyan widened his eyes and said, "You mean...the underwater Dragon King Cannon!"

The staff nodded and said, "That's right, some garrisons produce this thing for the navy. Just leave this kind of thing to them, so we can save us from taking action!"

Ji Haoyan nodded secretly. During the Korean War in the Wanli Dynasty, the Ming Navy relied on these things to sank many Japanese warships, which were very powerful.

The aide continued: "After the incident of the crown prince, the emperor was punished. The first person to take his anger was the governor of Huguang Fang Kongzhao. The subordinates were uneasy, which led to the murder of the crown prince. He was doomed. After all, Wuchang Prefecture was under his rule. You are mainly responsible for the southern part of Huguang, and at most you were demoted for the crime of misunderstanding..."

When Ji Haoyan heard this, his eyes lit up. Unexpectedly, this aide was quite thoughtful. He killed two birds with one stone. Compared to being demoted, it is better than being confiscated from his family's property and being charged with corruption.

After hearing this, Ji Haoyan nodded and said, "This plan is very wonderful, but can time catch up?"

The staff said: "Don't worry, my subordinates have already considered this matter. The Crown Prince set out from Xishui and went to Wuchang to cross the river for 200 miles, which takes at least four days. In addition, it will take a few days to arrange a ship to cross the river. It only takes five days to arrange the arrangement!"

Ji Haoyan pondered for a moment and said, "You are responsible for contacting those garrisons for this matter so that they will definitely find someone who can survive!"

When the aide heard this, he nodded in his heart. The person who can achieve this position is indeed not a simple person, he is cruel enough and has a strong hand.
