Song An nodded and said, "Maybe... General Fang did hear that the military workshop was bombarded and took people to investigate, which made the messenger unable to find him for a while."

Wu Zheng shook his head and said, "But before, Chen Tingyang said... the shells were shot from the north..."

These words changed Song An's face, and he said in horror: "What the young master means is Fang Guoan...ordered the shelling of the military workshop? He... he was crazy?"

Wu Zheng turned around silently, "Let's go, leave here... back to Hangzhou Prefecture... no, go to Jinshan Guard!"

Song An immediately realized that if it was Fang Guoan, the problem would be serious. Song An immediately thought that combined with the information sent by Chen Zhiyuan, perhaps... Fang Guoan was the one who was bribed by Dorgon. Once it was launched at this time, he would suddenly lead his troops to the south...

Not to mention that the guards are training, they are not wary at all.

When I heard the news, I was afraid that everything would be too late.

At this time, rush to Hangzhou Prefecture. If there are other ambushings, it is correct to go to Jinshan Guard and join the Wusong Guard of Lu and Wu Yi.

Song An urgently ordered Changlin's guard to escort Wu Zhengnan back.

On the way, Wu Zheng thought about it and issued two orders.

First, he sent a commander to Xiushui, Jiaxing Prefecture, mobilized Xiushui militia, and went to Jinshanwei to meet with him.

Then he sent people to Hangzhou Prefecture and transferred the first army northward.

This is a staggering fight to suppress the rebellion.

....

The distance from Huating to Jinshanwei and from Huating to Jiaxing is similar.

The reason why Wu Zheng changed to Jinshanwei was not to be on guard against Fang Guoan. If Fang Guoan was really a spy, Wu Zheng was still on guard. If there were other accomplices, he would naturally intercept him halfway back to Hangzhou Prefecture.

Then, only by doing the opposite can we avoid the enemy's edge.

But Wu Zheng immediately thought, if Fang Guoan could be bribed, then... what about Wu Yi in the territory of Lu? What if so, what should I do?

When people reach this point, their ideas become extremely complicated.

At this time, Wu Zheng lost contact with everyone's army, and even lost contact with the General's Mansion.

The command can be issued, but it may not be sent.

Wu Zheng could not go on adventures in person, which created a power vacuum.

This is what later generations call the out-of-control situation.

Only then did Wu Zheng realize that his authority had a huge flaw, that is, he was unable to deal with sudden changes.

In any previous war or incident, the leadership team was around, at least part of it, and the orders were not hindered.

But at present, there is no one around me except Song An and dozens of Chang Lin Wei.

The key is that Song An could not mobilize the local Changlin Wei because Changlin Wei strictly implemented single-line contacts, that is, the orders were uploaded and reported at a higher level and could not exceed the level.

This also caused that although Song An took control of Changlin Wei, he was unable to mobilize Changlin Wei of Songjiang Prefecture.

....

At midnight, Wu Zheng and his party rushed to the South Bridge.

Song An stopped Wu Zheng from continuing to move south.

Song An said: "If Wu Yi changes in the territory of Lu, the young master will just crash into it. With only dozens of people, it will be useless... Otherwise, I will send an order to let Wu Yi come alone in the territory of Lu and meet the young master."

This is reasonable, but Wu Zheng also understands that if Wu Yi was really bribed by Dorgon in the territory of Lu, then Song An would definitely be detained or even killed.

Looking at Song An's firm face, Wu Zheng felt a little bitter.

Why did it suddenly become like this?

The huge power controlled by the hand was not used at this time, like a decoration.

I also want Song An to walk the road for myself.

Wu Zheng couldn't help but become irritated and said annoyedly: "The Land of Lu, Wu Yi and the Two have followed me for several years. If one of them betrayed me, it is still possible, but it is almost impossible for them to betray me at the same time... Song An, since he escaped from Jiading's death, we are always betting... betting on fate! Today's situation seems to be a conspiracy, but in fact, it is just a bluff farce. How many people can Dorgon buy? Two, three or ten? So, don't stop me, I bet on Lu, Wu Yi will not betray it!"

Song An said anxiously: "But this is just the unilateral trust of the young master. It is in troubled times and people's hearts are unpredictable... It's always right to be careful."

Wu Zheng said sternly: "The power of your young master is not obtained by sacrificing you to protect yourself. If that is the case, I might as well be a rich man and wait for death... Get out of the way!"

Song An didn't dare to stop him anymore and retreated silently. He knew that the young master had made up his mind and could not stop him anymore.

....

The 26th day of the first lunar month is at 3:00 in the early morning.

Wu Zheng and his party passed by Zhelin.

When we arrived at the periphery of Jinshan Guard, we finally saw a Wusong Guard police whistle.

Song An stepped forward to indicate his identity and ordered the police whistle to report to the territory of Lu, Wu and Yi immediately.

Then, there is a long wait.

Looking at Wu Zheng carrying his hands on his back and looking straight to the southwest, it should be the direction of Lu, Wu Yi coming.

Song An finally couldn't help but feel worried and stepped forward and whispered: "Young Master, it's always good to be more careful. Many masters need to take half of their people back to the South Bridge. If there is any change, the young master can also go west and go to Jiaxing Prefecture through Zhujing..."

When Wu Zheng heard this, he slowly turned around. This really scared Song An. He thought Wu Zheng was depressed and was about to get angry again.

But Wu Zheng's face was calm and his eyes were gentle, "Xiao Anzi, in your opinion, is your young master really that hateful to you?"

Song An was stunned and immediately shook his head and said, "How is this possible? The young master expels the Tartars and regains the mountains and rivers. The people are not as popular as possible. How can they hate the young master... Anyone who hates the young master must be a bad person!"

Wu Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "In less than a day, your young master suddenly became a lonely man. Seeing a drastic change happening, the only thing he could do was to avoid... I was wrong!"

Song An said inconsolably: "A gentleman does not stand on a dangerous wall, and the young master is in the eleven palaces. How can he ignore the welfare of millions of people...?"

"No!" Wu Zheng interrupted, "At the beginning, I also thought that I should be like you said, trying to protect myself, then identify the traitor, gather strength, and annihilate it in one fell swoop. But now I suddenly feel that it is wrong. If... I mean, if Fang Guoan really betrayed me and blatantly shelled the military workshop, then what I wondered is, what can Fang Guoan do to let thousands of military school students follow him to rebel? If this is the case, then I really deserve to die! I should go to the military workshop directly to understand the truth, rather than avoiding... Even if Fang Guoan rebelled, those military school students are still trustworthy. Only when I showed up can they motivate them to make things right. This is why I said I was wrong."
