Chapter 806 Chasing and Interception

In the eyes of outsiders, Song Nan seemed to be a little too nervous. She was so nervous that she didn't even want to wait at dawn. In the middle of the night, she took people out of Changning County with her. Many of her own guards also thought the same thing. Compared with Song Nan's caution, her men and people around her did not care.

A chief flag lieutenant's private muttering is quite representative: "The commander doesn't need to worry so much. Our adult is the leading minister of the Ming Dynasty, and the adult in the court is comparable to him? Even the vassals are low-level when they see my elders. Then what is King Ning? How dare he be rude to my lord? He didn't dare to borrow his courage. If he came to my lord obediently to plead guilty, otherwise my commander would have done it like the king of Anhua.

Such clouds represent the psychology of many people. In their opinion, Song Nan is omnipotent, and what she has experienced is more thrilling than this time. There is no need to worry about what Ning Wang will do at all. Such words came to Song Nan's ear. Song Nan didn't know whether she should be happy or unhappy. What was happy was that her subordinates' trust in themselves had reached an unprecedented height, but they knew that since Wang Yong and Zhao Dapeng, they did not realize the seriousness of the problem.

This time, it's not a joke. The criminal is in hand, and the evidence of Zhu Chenhao's plot is confirmed, just to make friends with bandits to buy. The two charges of the officials are true. Slowly say that the succession of the son plotted by King Ning has come to nothing, and the purpose of doing so will also be thoroughly investigated. It is certain that Zhu Chenhao will be unlucky. As for what kind of punishment is secondary.

And Song Nan also knew in his heart that Zhu Chenhao would never give up his hand. If Zhu Chenhao was allowed to get the news in advance, it was very likely to cause a disaster. He is the status of the prince, located in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, and after years of careful preparation. Among other things, more than half of the leading generals of the prefectures in Jiangxi may have been corrupted. Once they take action, their destructive power is not the same as the chaos of King Anhua.

Moreover, Jiangxi, Hunan, Fujian, Anhui, Nanjing and other places are all inland grain producing areas, and the granaries of the Ming Dynasty are in several provincial capitals inland. If there is chaos here, the first thing to affect the grain output of the Ming Dynasty will be affected. After a year and a year and a half, the next year will be a famine, not to mention other impact.

Song Nan summoned more than a dozen guards camp officials to accompany him and seriously reprimanded them for this idea. He asked them to be vigilant and not to take it lightly. Don't regard Zhu Chenhao as a faint and old man like the king of Anhua. Zhu Chenhao can be called a veteran and calculating city government. He did it step by step. The plan can be called step by step, and on the one hand, he is even preparing for rebellion. On the other hand, he is still fighting for the emperor's heir. It can be seen that he is wise and not a reckless and impulsive person. All of this is a good step.

Not long after the group left Changning County, Song Nan ordered to abandon the official road going north and go straight to the east along another official road and go directly to Fujian. Wang Yong asked the reason, Song Nan just gave a simple sentence: "Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case. Now it is the best policy to escort the criminals back to the capital safely."

At the end of the morning and nearly noon, suddenly, the rear guard responsible for exploring the news caught up with the brigade and reported an explosive news: a cavalry team was chasing after him. At this moment, it was close to the left of Dashu Town 50 miles away, only two hours away from Wuping County, where Song Nan and others were located. .

This discovery woke everyone up, which was far more effective than Song Nan's explanation. They suddenly understood that Lord Song was not unfounded. The wolf really came and came so fast.

Song Nan himself was actually quite surprised. He was surprised that there were pursuers so quickly, which showed an extremely serious problem, that is, Ning Wangfu made a quick response and immediately mobilized troops and horses to Changning after learning the news. If it hadn't been for the last night, this group of cavalry would have been unbearable at dawn. Arriving in Changning, he blocked himself in Changning County.

Song Nan doesn't think that this soldier and horse is wandering around with nothing to do, obviously for himself, not to mention that they are chasing 50 miles behind their buttocks at this moment, like a ghost who is desperate.

"Where is the place ahead?" Song Nan asked.

"Lord, within the jurisdiction of Tingzhou Prefecture, you can go to Wuping County 30 miles ahead."

"Tingzhou Prefecture...Tingzhou Prefecture."

Song Nan muttered to herself and suddenly pointed to a mountain in front of him and asked, "Is that mountain called Liangye Mountain?"

Wang Yong did his homework beforehand and heard the words: "Your Excellency is well-learned and has never been here. He actually knows the famous mountain of this place. Yes, this is Liangye Mountain. The locals call it Liangye Fairy Mountain, which is rumored to be one of the Eight Immortals..."

Song Nan was not in the mood to listen to him talk about these nagging things. He looked extremely serious and shouted, "Be twice as careful. I'm afraid it's weird here."

Wang Yong was surprised and said, "Your Excellency, is this?"

Song Nan said, "That day, Wang Shouren talked to me about the gangs that King Ning shielded. There were not only bandits in Jiangxi, but also collusion with bandits in southern Fujian and other places. He especially mentioned this group in Tingzhou. The leaders of the bandits were two brothers named Wanxian and 10,000 sages. They gathered more than 500 people in Liangye Mountain, and were also funded by Zhu Chenhao. Bandits. But I don't know how to contact them. If they had notified this group of bandits in advance, our current situation would be a large group of bandits in front of us, and then a brigade of pursuers.

Wang Yong was shocked. At this time, he really realized the arrival of the crisis. In the blink of an eye, the situation was already so bad.

"In this case, humble position suggests that we take a detour and don't walk through Liangye Mountain. In case we are blocked by bandits and delayed for a few hours, won't we be caught up by the pursuers? Why don't we go to Wu'an County and order the local county magistrate to quickly send someone to report to Tingzhou Prefecture and ask the local garrison to come to pick it up?

Song Nan slowly shook his head and said, "Are you saying that the guards of the royal palace are chasing us? That must be the officers and soldiers of a certain place. No one can believe it within the influence of Ning Wangfu, otherwise they don't know how to die. If we go southeast now, we will enter the territory of Zhangzhou. There are Xiong 17 Wu 18 and other mountain bandits and sea bandit leaders in Zhangzhou. They also have a close relationship with the Ning Palace. Is it quiet? On the contrary, it's not possible to go further and further away from the capital.

Wang Yong was stunned and said, "Isn't it in the net? This...this is really unimaginable."

Song Nan snorted coldly: "This is to intercept us halfway and kill me. I suspect that the news has been leaked, even earlier than Li Guangtai. Maybe someone told us about our movements as soon as we left the capital. Let go of this matter for the time being. The problem now is to break through the official road between Liangye Mountain and valleys. If the whole valley is tightly blocked by them, there is nothing to say. I want to bet that their news is not so fast.

Wang Yong said: "The humble position believes that the road we take is going north through Fujian, rather than directly returning to Beijing from Ganzhou to the north, which must be beyond their expectation. I guess the cavalry must have wanted to block our road from Ganzhou to the north, but we went east, so we didn't rush to catch up.

Song Nan nodded and said, "I hope so. If that's the case, it means that the bandits here have never expected us to pass through. Even if they learn about it by flying pigeons or some other way, they don't have enough time. It's not too late to let the brothers with their ammunition to cheer up. Let's rush across this mountain in one breath. Valley. Wang Yong and Zhao Dapeng obeyed the order.

Wang Yong and Zhao Dapeng answered loudly.

"Teams charge, but those who block, regardless of the costumes of men, women and children, will be killed."

"Yes." Wang Yong and Zhao Dapeng responded loudly and rode the horse forward to arrange the order.

Song Nan personally led the horse to the horses of Yang Qing, Li Fu and Li Guangtai, and ordered the guards beside them to say, "Ty them on horseback and don't let them escape in the chaos. When charging, you have to clamp it. Tighten their horses and don't let their horses fall behind. Their lives are very important. We must keep them alive.

The guard Xiaoqi, who was in charge of the guard, shouted, "The commander reassures the lord. He would rather we die and let them be unscathed."

Song Nan waved his hand and said, "That's not necessary. If you want to make a choice, it's better to kill them. My brother can't die."

In the eyes of the guards, they are grateful. The commander still has brothers in their hearts. Knowing that the lives of crimes are extremely important, they have to save their lives at critical times. Among other things, with this sentence alone, their hearts are already warm.

"Your Excellency, I'm ready. Please give me an order." Wang Yong shouted loudly in front of him.

Song Nan's eyes were firm, waved his palm, waved to the mountain road ahead, and shouted, " Charge."
