Qin Liangyu prepared to go to Chongqing, pass through Dazhou, then enter Ankang and turn eastward, pass through Yunyang, Nanyang, and finally arrive in Yuzhou.

Qin Liangyu knew very well that with the ability of Jingzhou, he might have sent the news to Lin Chunhong's desk before he left Sichuan. Therefore, she chose Yunyang and Nanyang, which were the closest, the smoothest road, and the safest along the way.

The journey lasted more than 1,600 miles. Qin Liangyu, at the age of 60, did not avoid the steep mountains and obstacles, which was enough to show her loyalty and righteousness towards the Ming Dynasty court.

When she reached Wanyuan County, she met Qin Yongcheng head-on. Looking at Qin Yongcheng with a tired face, she was shocked and asked, "Is there any change in Henan?"

Qin Yongcheng admired the earth and replied respectfully: "Go back to his wife, there is no change in Henan. To talk about major events, it is better to lead more than ten thousand remaining troops to surrender to Lin Chunhong."

"Oh? I forced Ainengqi to surrender in just five days? How did the Jingzhou Army do it?" Although Qin Liang's jade man traveled through the mountains and ridges, he was not ignorant of the battle situation in Henan.

Qin Yongcheng had something to do and didn't want to get too entangled in the battle, but Qin Liangyu asked, and couldn't stand him not to answer. He suppressed his anxiety and said, "Lin Chunhong personally led the Shenwei, Tiance and Xuanwu army to stay in Dongsugou for two days, confusing Zhang Xianzhong, but secretly sent the Cavalry Army and the Tiger Xiao Army to bypass the Luodong Mountains and attack Ainengqi's troops from Gong County. Ainengqi could not support him, so he could only run south. Lin Chunhong personally led 20,000 troops to cross Songshan overnight, blocking Ainengqi's retreat. Ainengqi could not, so he had to surrender."

Qin Liangyu asked, "I once heard that Ainengqi is Zhang Xianzhong's adopted son and is loyal to him. Every time he encounters a battle, he will fight for him. This time he still has more than 10,000 troops in his heart, so how can he surrender?"

"This subordinate is not very clear. He only knows that after Feng Shuangli was killed, Ainengqi was defeated and surrounded by Jingzhou army for two days, he surrendered..."

Speaking of this, Qin Yongcheng stopped talking and looked at the people around him from the corner of his eyes.

Qin Liangyu understood and ordered the others to retreat. Qin Yongcheng continued: "When his subordinates set out from Yiyang, Master Li and Lin Chunhong had a dispute over Ai Nengqi's affairs."

"Oh?" Qin Liangyu's eyebrows were clustered.

"Master Li ordered Lin Chunhong to hand over Ainengqi and his troops, claiming that only the court has the right to deal with Ainengqi."

Qin Liangyu nodded and said, "Well, Master Li's actions are reasonable and concise."

"It's a pity that Lin Chunhong didn't take Chief Li's words seriously at all and refused to hand over Ainengqi. He also said that when Ainengqi surrendered, he proposed that he would never surrender unless he lives in Jingzhou. He had already agreed to Ainengqi and could not ignore his trust..."

Qin Liangyu's face was quite serious and asked, "Lin Chunhong really said so?"

Qin Yongcheng nodded and said, "Everyone knows this, it should be true. But his subordinates were confused. When Gao Jie surrendered, Governor Hong ordered Gao Jie to serve in Shaanxi, and the court allowed him to act without saying a word. Why didn't this matter work if it happened to Lin Chunhong?"

Qin Liangyu didn't answer Qin Yongcheng's words, but just sighed: "I'm afraid the court has to give in..."

Monk Qin Yongcheng was confused and had to bury his doubts deeply in his heart. How could he know that Qin Liangyu's heart was astonishing as the waves, and he could not be at peace for a moment.

Qin Liangyu knew that Lin Chunhong proposed to "live in Jingzhou", which undoubtedly placed Jingzhou in an equal situation with the imperial court. At present, Zhang Xianzhong was attacking Ruzhou fiercely and could bypass Ruzhou and threaten Yuzhou at any time. As long as Yuzhou felt the threat, he would most likely give in.

Qin Liangyu was upset and had no intention of telling Qin Yongcheng these twists and turns. She was silent for a while and asked casually: "What's the situation in Yiyang?"

Qin Yongcheng bowed to the ground again and replied in fear and fear: "I know what happened and hide something from Deputy General Ma. I also ask my wife to forgive me."

Qin Liangyu's face sank and asked coldly: "As the chief of the army, you should know everything about military affairs. Why do you hide it until now?"

Qin Yongcheng kowtowed and said, "Madam, this matter does not involve military affairs, but it is related to the life and death of more than 7,000 white-rod soldiers. My subordinates had to be very cautious. As far as my subordinates knew, Lin Chunhong went north this time and secretly brought his concubine Chen. However, after the Yuzhou military agreement was over, Chen disappeared. My subordinates secretly investigated and found that Chen had arrived at the wife's fort in Bishui County under the escort of Zhou Shiliang!"

Qin Liangyu was shocked and said, "What are Lin Chunhong sends his concubine to Lady's Fort?"

Qin Yongcheng said: "I don't know. During the Yuzhou military discussion, Deputy General Ma and Lin Chunhong had many disputes, and they had a deep hatred. The subordinates were worried that Deputy General Ma would lose his calmness after hearing this news, so they concealed it until now."

At the beginning, Qin Liangyu chose to trust Zhang Fengyi and arranged for Zhang Fengyi to go to Lady's Castle. However, in this world, men and women are very sensitive, and anyone deals with this matter with the idea that they would rather trust him than believe in him. Qin Liangyu, who is in the game, was no exception. When he heard Qin Yongcheng's words, his first reaction was that Lin Chunhong and Zhang Fengyi were disconnected, and I'm afraid there was something shameful about it.

Qin Liangyu suppressed his anger and said, "You did the right thing, it's better not to tell Deputy General Ma about this. What you did this is what you did?"

Qin Yongcheng nodded and said, "Yes. Paper can't contain the fire after all, and my subordinates have to prepare for it."

Qin Liangyu knew her son very well and knew that he was impatient. Once he got angry, he would not care about anything. It seems that when he sent Qin Yongcheng to Ma Xianglin as the chief of the marching, he really chose the right person.

However, Qin Liangyu always felt something was wrong. Lin Chunhong and Zhang Fengyi were separated, but they sent their concubine to the Lady's Fort. What's the matter? Moreover, Zhou Shiliang is a general under Lin Chunhong and has never been involved with the guards. Why did Lin Chunhong just send him to guards?

Qin Liangyu thought about it more and more wrong, and asked: "How many people did Zhou Shiliang bring? What are these people's identities?"

"More than two hundred people. Judging from their words and deeds, they seem to be not ordinary soldiers, and they are probably all officers."

Qin Liangyu suddenly realized and understood Lin Chunhong's plan: This guy tried to use Lady Fort as a base to expand his sphere of influence in Shanxi!

However, there are still five or six hundred miles between Shanxi and Nanyang. Lin Chunhong is so sure to hide the eyes of Lu Xiangsheng and Shanxi local officials. It’s okay for Shanxi local officials. Lu Xiangsheng, the Governor of Xuanda, is a ruthless character who is very clear and can’t tolerate sand in his eyes.

Lin Chunhong acted recklessly, and it was likely that Lu Xiangsheng's tacit approval!

Qin Liangyu was shocked and sweated coldly. Could it be that a loyal and righteous man like Lu Xiangsheng also reached a tacit understanding with Lin Chunhong? How far has this tacit understanding reached? Does Yang Sichang know?
