Chapter 571
Yang Wei narrowed his eyes, then shook his head and said lightly,
"Don't pay any attention to it! The news coming from the south should be from Yancheng or Jinling. It's nothing more than the news that Yancheng has been captured!"
"If the Sheyang camp makes any moves, we can catch them all in one fell swoop!"
Then he instructed the man,
"Send a message to the deputy hall master, and ask him to pay attention to some people in the city. If you need to be ruthless, don't hesitate to take action!"
"Yes!"
……
In the Sheyang camp.
When Zhang Zhubu learned that Zhao Zishan went straight to Funing, he was very contemptuous.
Shoubei Wang is not someone who can be persuaded with just a few words. If he goes, he will only bring shame upon himself!
When Zhang Zhubu thought that this stubborn guy was about to be scolded by the garrison general, he felt inexplicably relieved.
As the sun sets, wisps of smoke rise from the entire camp.
Suddenly, a carrier pigeon fluttered into the Sheyang camp.
Because Yangzhou is located between Jinling and Huai'an Prefecture, Yangzhou Prefecture has now been completely militarized by Qingfengzhai, and all major waterways have been closed.
Messages from Nanjing to Sheyang Camp could only be conveyed through the carrier pigeon method left behind earlier.
The soldiers who received the message did not dare to be careless. They immediately took off the bamboo tube on the pigeon's feet and rushed into the tent where Zhang Zhubu was.
In the absence of Wang Hongguang, Zhang Zhubu, who is Wang Hongguang's confidant, is actually the most powerful person in the entire camp.
Zhang Zhubu and several friendly generals were gathered together drinking and chatting.
Suddenly, a soldier came hurriedly to report that there was a letter from Nanjing.
Zhang Zhubu was slightly stunned, not understanding why Jinling suddenly sent a message to the Sheyang camp.
But he still suppressed his doubts and ordered people to enter the account.
He smiled at the other generals and said,
"Look, the garrison commander is out for a while, so I'm busy in this camp too!"
The generals all laughed and echoed,
"Zhang Zhubu is deeply trusted by the general, so he must be working very hard!"
"Indeed, Zhang Zhubu is truly a role model for us!"
"When the general returns, we will report to him the hard work of Zhang Zhubu!"
Zhang Zhubu laughed heartily and said modestly,
"Hahaha! Generals, thank you for your kindness!"
"When the garrison commander returns, everyone will faithfully perform their duties, unlike Zhao Zishan, who was paranoid and actually left his post without permission. I will also report the truth to the garrison commander!"
The generals looked delighted.
"It's as it should be. Thank you, Master Zhang!"
At this moment, the messenger entered the tent.
He immediately reported to Zhang Zhubu anxiously,
"Report to the Chief Registrar, bad news! Yancheng has been captured by the rebels!"
"what?"
Zhang Zhubu, who had just picked up the wine glass, was stunned on the spot.
The wine glass in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.
Upon hearing this, all the generals in the tent stood up.
He looked at the messenger with a letter in his hand with astonishment.
"How can this be?"
"That's right! Stop your nonsense, little soldier! How could a mere group of bandits possibly capture Yancheng's walls in just one day?"
"How dare you! How dare you spread false information? Do you really think we are easy to bully?!"
"Tell me! Are you a spy hired by the rebels?"
Someone immediately started scolding the messenger.
Although deep down, they knew that the probability of a messenger reporting false military intelligence was very low.
But they still didn't want to believe the news from the bottom of their hearts.
How can this be?
The city wall of Yancheng is more than two meters high. Even if this group of elite troops from the imperial court were to attack by force, it would take at least ten days or half a month to take it down.
It was only this morning that we received a call for help from Yancheng.
How long has it been?
Even if a group of rebels like bandits had some skills in robbing and looting, how could they possibly capture the walled Yancheng in just half a day?
The messenger was so anxious that he almost cried out when he heard the generals scolding him.
