Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 573 Secret Discussion (Add more updates to the leader's blind sniper)
Outside the northern city of Heyang, iron cavalry roared away.

Zhang Jiye wiped off his sweat and led two thousand infantry back to the city.

Hundreds of thieves rushed out of the city and attacked the sergeants who had gone out of the woodcutters. Zhang Jiye led an army of [-] infantry to attack and repelled the thieves.

It was said to be repulsed, but in fact it was just scared back. The opponent made a gesture to charge once, seeing that the infantry was not in disorder, left behind a few corpses and left without fighting at all.

But Zhang Jiye was still very nervous, sweating profusely, far worse than his group of big-headed soldiers who formed an formation to meet the enemy.

After returning to the city, the army returned to camp, and he went to Duyuhou to hand over his military power, and it was already dark at this time.

After returning to the mansion in a hurry, before he had time to catch his breath, he was pulled over by his father Zhang Quanyi.

In addition to the second brother Zhang Jizuo and the younger brother Zhang Jisun, there are also the shogunate marching commander Su Junqing and Yamen general Xie Bin.

Zhang Jiye saluted one by one, especially Xie Bin, who held military power and was his father-in-law.

"The bandit army has retreated?" Zhang Quanyi asked with a sad face.

"It has been repulsed by Er's troops." Zhang Jiye spoke loudly.

"That's good." Zhang Quanyi nodded and didn't say anything further.

Zhang Jiye was a little disappointed.

"Zhang Shensi got into a catastrophe this time, and has been sent to Bianzhou. Quan En has also been dismissed from his position as governor and is waiting to be dealt with." Zhang Quanyi sighed: "Now we have to be careful. In the battle of Heqing, our army suffered heavy losses. , the responsibility will definitely be investigated later, and nothing can go wrong at this time."

"Marshal, even if we are held accountable, we can't be held accountable, right?" Xie Bin asked, "We have not lost a battle, and secondly, we have not starved the army. We are diligent in everything, how can we hold us accountable?"

Zhang Quanyi sneered.Xie Bin is a martial artist, so he is not very clear about these official matters.

"Heqing was defeated, and everyone in Heyang Town will suffer." Zhang Quanyi said, "It's my title of Heyang Jiedushi. I don't know if I can keep it."

Xie Bin was a little suspicious, but Su Junqing was thoughtful.

"Let's see how far this battle will go." Zhang Quanyi said: "If Meng and Huai are all lost, then most of the three cities of Heyang will be guarded by Bian people, just like what happened in Luoyang."

Speaking of this, Zhang Quanyi was also very distressed.

Compared with history, his current situation is really bad.At that time, Zhu Quanzhong swept the towns of Tianping, Taining, Ganhua, and Weibo. He only needed to recruit refugees in Henan Prefecture and Ruzhou, develop production, and provide war horses, equipment, money and food.

After a long period of peace, the Luoyang area has improved greatly, and the treasury is abundant.The local officials are all from his hands, with a deep foundation.

But in this time and space, within a few years of taking root in Luoyang, Shao Shude called.Then Zhu Quanzhong sent Hu Zhen over, stationed a large army, and fought with the Xia bandits.Over time, a lot of local power has been invaded by Hu Zhen.

Hu Zhen did this consciously, and Zhu Quanzhong also did it consciously.

Hu Zhen's qualifications are too old, and after becoming Xuanyi's Jiedu envoy, Hua and Zheng Erzhou have a faint tendency to be on the top of the mountain.After being transferred to Henan by Zhu Quanzhong, the signs of Hua and Zheng Erzhou's vassalization gradually disappeared. At the same time, Hu and Zhang were allowed to fight for food in the same pot. This method, this kind of heart, haha.

Does Hu really object?Probably not.

But Zhu Quanzhong suspected that he would rebel and refused to give him this chance.

Does Zhang Quanyi object?nor.

But what would Zhu Quanzhong think of him?Will he take this opportunity to simply snatch Luoyang?
The pursuit of responsibility for defeat is superficial, and there are deeper reasons.

Zhang Jiye, the eldest son, and Xie Bin, the general of the Yamen, did not understand these things, but Su Junqing, his staff, definitely understood.

"Commander, how about—" Seeing that the room is full of old friends who have known each other for many years, Su Junqing lowered his voice and said, "It's better to stick to the city and sit and watch the success or failure. If Zhu Quanzhong is too tight, then demote Shao Shude?"

Xie Bin was shocked.

He is the general of the Yamen in Heyang, but the few Yamen soldiers in Heyang have been lost in Heqing and Zhiguan. Right now there are only more than 2000 state and county soldiers in the city.Although more than [-] refugees were recruited into the army a few months ago, but the time is still short, what fighting power can they have?At most, add five hundred cavalrymen brought over from Luoyang, but they are from Henan Province, are they willing to surrender if they are not in poverty?
"Judge Su!" Zhang Quanyi scolded with an angry face.

Su Junqing smiled embarrassingly.

Don't call him Sanlang, but call him Judge Su, it can be seen that his master is angry.If it weren't for the friendship for many years, they might have turned their faces.

But Zhang Quanyi is really so loyal?Su Junqing didn't quite believe it.

"Shao Shude killed my beloved nephew. This hatred is irreconcilable. Jifeng is also your son-in-law, and now his bones are not cold, how can he surrender?" Zhang Quanyi said with awe.

Zhang Jiye also glared at Su Junqing.He actually didn't mind surrendering to Shao Shude, but he still had to put on a gesture.

He will not be loyal to Zhu Quanzhong, nor will he be loyal to Shao Shude, but only to himself.

As for morality, what is that?Can I eat it?For profit, both father and son brothers can be betrayed, as long as they keep their power and wealth. In history, in order to let Li Cunxu let go of the Zhang family, he once falsely accused his younger brother Zhang Jisun with his father's acquiescence, and made him die in Fangzhou. The disposition of the father and son is evident. .

Xie Bin was silent.

Zhang Quanyi glared at him, Xie Bin forced a smile, and said, "Commander, don't look at me, Li Tangbin and I are old, but we don't want to surrender Shao Shude."

After Huang Chao entered Chang'an in the past, he set up tour envoys around the capital, with Zhu Wen on the east side and Zhang Quanyi on the north side.At that time, both Li Tangbin and Xie Bin were generals under Zhang Quanyi's account, and their relationship was unusual.

Zhang Quanyi sighed, and said again: "It's not that I want to stop you from getting rich. The king of Dongping County lost Meng Huai, but still has the eighteen states of the Central Plains. The Bian Song Dynasty was prosperous, and every household had mulberry orchards, and the silk produced The silk is even more exquisite. How can the Lingxia in the bitter cold place be compared? How can it be surrendered before its defeat is revealed? If it surrenders, the foundation of Luoyang will be destroyed. In troubled times, it is not easy to have a stable foundation In the past, I ran around here and there in the past, and finally stood firm in Luoyang. I worked hard and overcame thorns and thorns, and I must never give up. This is a heart-to-heart statement, please think carefully."

Xie Bin was a little ashamed, and said, "Don't worry, Commander, we have supported each other along the way. Surrender or not, only the command of the Commander will follow."

Su Junqing sighed secretly, and said: "Only the commander in chief obeys."

In fact, among the three, if one had to find the one with the greatest possibility of surrender, it would undoubtedly be him, Su.The family has been in Heyang for generations, with popularity and foundation. Although they experienced the Sun Ru Rebellion and Shao Shude moved most of them away, the roots have not been cut off.

In Li Hanzhi's time, he joined the army as a recorder in Mengzhou, became in-laws with Zhang Quanen, and later served as the county magistrate of Fumi County in Henan Province.

After Zhang Quanyi and Li Hanzhi tore their faces apart, Li Hanzhi's army was attacking Jinjiang. Zhang Quanyi suddenly launched an attack and occupied the three cities of Heyang.

Think about who Li Hanzhi is?Although the main force is outside, but he personally sits in Heyang, it is impossible to have no soldiers, and such a fortified city, how can it be broken by Zhang Quanyi?Or was he so ignorant that he abandoned his wife and left in a hurry?

Zhang Quanyi, an old Yinbi, had set up a backhand from the very beginning.The surprise attack on the three cities of Heyang is really due to the work of the Su family.

Zhang Jiye glanced at Su Junqing again.

It's a pity that my sister-in-law has probably become a military prostitute by now.It is said that it was possible for the Su family to marry him back then, and he even took a sneak peek at it, but later they got married to the Xie family.A while ago, when I heard that my cousin died in battle, I wanted to comfort him, but now I have no chance.

"I've never heard of today's incident, and I must never mention surrender again." Zhang Quanyi glanced at the crowd and saw that everyone had no objection, so he changed the topic and said, "The townships on the south bank of the river must hurry up." The ditches have been repaired, and the land has to be plowed. Plant the wheat and you will be able to harvest it next summer.”

The ten counties of Heyang, the five counties of Huaizhou are all on the north bank, and Mengzhou has two and a half counties on the north bank and two and a half counties on the south bank, namely Heyin, Sishui and half of Heyang.

These three counties are relatively safer.A while ago, Zhang Quanyi moved many people here, and Su Junqing raised objections to this.

Hearing the mention of food, Zhang Jiye became angry, and said: "Zhongli City is in a mess now, all the fish in the pond have been fished up. The Hebo Temple has been demolished, what are those Bian Song warriors? Don't be afraid, just mess around."

Zhongli City was built on a sandbar, with a large area, surrounded by water rings and surrounded by trees.

Some farmland has been opened up on the sandbar, mainly for growing vegetables, and there are orchards, which are rich in mulberries.A fish pond was also dug, which existed during the Xuanzong Dynasty. When Li Guangbi guarded Heyang, it expanded to the outer river surface, and the cofferdam was used as a fish pond.At that time, when he was fighting with the Anshi rebels, Li Guangbi entered Zhongli City, fished fish from time to time to reward the sergeants, and rejected Shi Siming's army, full of pride.

In recent days, there have been too many warriors retreating to Nancheng through Zhongli City.

At the beginning, there were more than ten thousand peasants from Tutuan, one by one hurriedly crossing the bridge, probably because they were scared out of their wits, and at the same time, they also had to do farm work at home, so they were in a hurry to return home.

Later came the brigade of cavalry, they were not in a hurry, and stayed in Heyang for a few days, but it made the three cities full of smog, and the Hebo Temple was demolished there, and it was said that they had to light a fire for cooking.There are dense forests on the sandbank, if you don’t go to collect firewood, you demolish the Hebo Temple instead. These warriors really don’t even fear the gods.

Another army came yesterday, more than [-] people, it is a strong army.It is said that they went out to camp at night and drove to Heyang.During the day, Xia Zei cavalry discovered and harassed him repeatedly.Originally, the Xia thief was unable to succeed, only seven or eighty miles away, and the cavalry could not do anything against the infantry. The rider retreats.

There are already 3 to [-] people who have been evacuated through Heyang. The food in the Heyang warehouse has been reduced at a speed visible to the naked eye. However, the ships have been conscripted to evacuate the baggage and soldiers of the Pangshigu camp. Recently, there has been no food. To add, what can I do.

Hearing his son's complaints, Zhang Quanyi smiled.After all, I haven't suffered much. If I have experienced a tragic battle and saw the dark scene of cannibalism, what else in this world can't bear it?Life, power, and wealth are more important than anything else.

"Don't say that these are all gone. Pang Du will have an order. The pro-cavalry army will set off tomorrow and come to Heyang, and they may need to go out of the city to meet them. This matter-" Zhang Quanyi looked at his son.

Zhang Jiye's heart trembled, but he still bite the bullet and said: "Don't worry, my lord, I will leave this matter to my son."

　Thanks to the lord for the reward, hereby add more.I went to buy Red Bull after get off work first, and there will be more in the evening.
