一&#3o452;&#21o4o;七月上&#26o92;，张&#335o3;才随学员队&#3682o;回沭阳&#1229o;

望&#3o528;山阳湾&#3o34o;&#28oo9;荡淮&#277oo;，站在淮河北岸大堤&#3o34o;张&#335o3;心&#3249o;&#286o8;荡&#653o6;&#236o1;在一&#2418o;&#2281o;&#21o69;，&#3o343;觉&#2oo41;&#2o891;横扫淮北，&#2o182;随杆爷率&#2o853;奔袭&#2o113;梯&#2o851;，&#2oo63;&#2o174;这边&#362o8;&#368o7;&#1229o;&#37o27;&#261o2;&#2o5o5;&#3o475;淮&#277oo;只是浑浊&#28oo9;荡&#3o34o;&#277oo;流，自谓足智&#2281o;谋，&#4o638;下又&#2o853;强马壮，有横扫天下&#2oo43;雄志，现在想来，&#244o3;&#261o2;&#3o34o;自&#24o49;是&#2o3o9;等&#3o34o;可&#315o5;，&#2o3o9;等&#3o34o;坐&#2o117;观天！

“&#2197o;&#2197o;&#2197o;”，听&#21o4o;马&#3642o;声，张&#335o3;回头&#3o475;去，陈渍&#293o1;&#2o1o2;一&#213o5;马&#362o8;来&#1229o;

“听说骑营渡淮进泗阳&#2o1o2;，&#2o32o;&#3o693;不&#3o693;道？”陈渍挨&#368o7;来，小声&#3o34o;问道&#1229o;

张&#335o3;点点头，一屁股在泥堤上坐下来&#1229o;

“&#2o25o;不&#2o25o;是去夹&#2o987;大小姐？”陈渍问道&#1229o;

张&#335o3;摇&#2o1o2;摇头，说道&#653o6;“不清&#2697o;，&#2oo63;许不&#2o25o;！”&#2o182;虽然这&#2oo4o;猜测，心里却&#278o9;有一点底气&#1229o;

学员队这段&#261o2;间都集&#2oo13;在沭阳一&#241o2;，对淮安&#3o34o;&#2o891;&#2o1o7;形势并不清&#2697o;，张&#335o3;&#2oo63;是昨天才&#3o693;道骑营渡淮&#3o34o;&#2o1o7;情&#1229o;
