Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 763 Ask
"Zhang Situ, please look, Jizuo and his nephew Jisun are here." Under Caizhou City, Hu Zhen was wearing heavy armor, pointing at the two people who were guarded behind by a large shield, and said loudly.

There are many people walking around the city.Soon, one person pushed away the guarding sergeant, looked carefully for a long time, and said loudly: "But my son?"

"Grandpa, it's us." Zhang Jizuo and Zhang Jisun responded in unison.

"Grandfather, King Xia Rende has not insulted us. These days I have been living in Anyi, and I miss my parents all the time." Zhang Jizuo said again: "Quanzhong is fierce, and people of insight are ashamed to be with him. I still hope that my father Come out and land quickly, and we will be reunited soon."

There was no sound from the city.

"Is Zhang Situ here?" Hu Zhen asked after waiting for a while.

"Yes." Zhang Quanyi replied.

"Zhu Quanzhong's defeat is imminent, so why bother to die with him? His public morality is highly respected, and he wants to recommend Situ as the governor of Canzhou. Why don't he disarm and surrender without losing his wealth?" Hu Zhen said.

"Prince Xia doesn't care about past suspicions, his great kindness and great virtue will never be forgotten." Zhang Quanyi choked up and said, "Come here, open the city and surrender!"

Seeing that Dai Siyuan and Zhang Quan'en didn't respond, the others were also upset.As a result, the north gate of Caizhou Zhongcheng was quickly opened, and battalion after battalion of soldiers went out of the city, threw their weapons and armor on the ground, and then went to another place to line up.

Everyone is downcast.As a warrior, who doesn't want to defeat the enemy and receive a reward?But now they are the ones who go out of the city to ask for surrender, and others take it as meritorious service and receive rewards, can they not be discouraged?

Hu Zhen is very happy, and has made new achievements!Although most of the credit belongs to others, but I can also drink some soup and water, and I am very happy.

Zhe Zongben and Gao Renhou came over.

The Weisheng army dispatched [-] soldiers, took the prisoners away in batches, and escorted them to Tangzhou to be imprisoned.The Flying Dragon Army Qi Bizhang captured less than [-] people before, and they were also handed over to Zhe Zongben for him to help take care of them. At this time, they have been taken to Langshan and are about to be sent back to Tangzhou.

With more than [-] captives, Zhe Zongben has made a lot of money this time, but he should not dare to swallow them alone, let alone cannot afford to keep them.

"I have fought with Cai Bing for many years, and I have been entangled endlessly. I never thought that one day I could visit Caizhou City." Zhe Zongben said with a smile.

"It would be great if we can enter Xuzhou," Gao Renhou said.

He is from Xuzhou, and now he is the envoy of Jiru, the eastern capital. Although his power has been greatly restricted, all kinds of ostentation and ceremonies are real. He has been looking forward to going back to his hometown, and now it seems hopeful.

"After this battle, the Central Plains will be settled, and you can go back to your hometown." Zhe Zongben said, "Zhang Quanyi is here, dismount to greet him?"

"Let's welcome." Gao Renhou got off his horse and walked side by side with Zhe Zongben.

"Criminal Zhang Quanyi, I have seen Zhe Shuai and Gao Shuai." Zhang Quanyi directly bowed and bowed.

"Zhang Situ doesn't need to be like this." Zhe Zongben helped him up, and said with a smile: "You are already the governor of Canzhou, you and I are colleagues, there is no need to do this."

"It should be." Zhang Quanyi smiled flatteringly.

Gao Renhou gestured with his eyes from the side, and his relatives agreed, and brought Zhang Jizuo and Zhang Jisun over.

Zhe Zongben and Gao Renhou smiled at each other, and led the horses into the city.

"Grandpa!" The two brothers were almost crying.

The life of a prisoner is not easy, and he is always in fear and frightened.Every night when they heard noises outside, they would break out in a cold sweat, fearing that someone would come and murder them.

Fortunately, I finally got out of the sea of ​​suffering.My father became the governor of Shenzhou. Although he was in a remote village, he was an official after all, so there would definitely be no problems with his livelihood.

Moreover, King Xia kept his promises and never had the bad habit of settling accounts afterwards.He said that you are fine, then you are really fine, just live with peace of mind.There are no rumors of unreasonable robbery of Jiangren's property.My father lived in Cai for two years, and he should have saved up some family business. After moving to the unheard of Canzhou, it should be no problem to maintain a relatively good and affluent life.

"How are you doing in Anyi?" Zhang Quanyi calmed down and asked.

"It's okay." Zhang Jizuo replied: "I'm a little worried, but I don't have to worry about food and clothing, and I don't lack for expenses. I just worry about my father, and I'm afraid that one day the yin and yang will be separated."

Zhang Quanyi also felt a little sad after hearing this.

"Father, aunt, she..." Zhang Jisun asked cautiously.

"What did you hear?" Zhang Quanyi stared.

Zhang Jisun didn't dare to speak anymore, Zhang Jizuo was also a little embarrassed, he opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Zhang Quanyi snorted coldly, and said: "Jizuo my son, you are not too young anymore, take care of Dian Sanlang in the future, don't let the trouble come out of your mouth. Remember, your biological mother is Jiang Shi, who has passed away, and your aunt is Jiang Shi, who is still alive today. , you have to be filial to your parents in the future, do you understand?"

"I understand." Zhang Jizuo and Zhang Jisun agreed together.

They are still young, feel that some things are more humiliating, and feel uncomfortable.At this time, seeing his father's earnest admonition, he suddenly understood that Jiang was still old and hot, and they were not as far-sighted as his father in maintaining the family business.

"I heard that Xu Huaiyu served as the governor of Danzhou, Wang Ban assassinated Huaizhou, and Hu Zhen even served in the palace. King Xia has such a heart, and he is indeed the Lord. The place in Shenzhou was the place where Yan and Wei fought. I heard that The emperor of the later Wei Dynasty liked to go to Xuanhong Pond to hunt and watch fish, so it should be a place with abundant water and grass. Since King Xia set up Zhengzhou, most likely he wanted to immigrate and cultivate, so he still has a chance to be his father." Zhang Quanyi paused, seeing no one around , and said in a low voice: "There are unpredictable things in the sky, who can say for sure in this world? In the future, we have to wait and see."

******
Zhe Zongben and Gao Renhou led thousands of soldiers into the city.

As far as I can see along the way, every household has their doors and windows closed.Occasionally, a few people looked around, and quickly shrank back.

Gao Renhou had sharp eyes, and sighed: "The common people look hungry, and they all say that Quanyi is good at caring the people. I think it is exaggerating."

"Otherwise." Zhe Zongben said: "After Zhu Quanzhong defeated the Cai thief, he has been very vigilant towards Fengguo Town. Not only did he often select elites to fill the Xuanwu government army, but he also conscripted people's power every three days. The people had no rest and recuperation. The foundation is good, even if it produces grain and food for a long time, it seems to be much better than Tang Town Sanzhou."

Gao Renhou was speechless, what kind of trouble did Tang Deng Sui become, so poor?

The two talked while walking, and soon entered the Jiedu ambassador's mansion.

After a while, general Dai Siyuan was called over and asked by the two of them.

"General Dai was stationed in Luoyang in the past. He fought several battles at Tuhaozhai and Qianqiuting. He led the flying dragon army hundreds of miles to rescue the defenders. They fought well." Looking at Dai Siyuan who was a little nervous, Zhe Zongben smiled He smiled and said, "Sit down."

"Xie Zheshuai, Gao Shuai." Dai Siyuan didn't refuse, and sat down directly on Hu's bed.

"General Dai has served Liang for many years, so he should know the inside story of Liang Jun." Zhe Zongben said.

"It's my honor to ask Zheshuai, I know everything." Dai Siyuan replied.

"Good." Zhe Zongben praised: "General Dai, do you know where Ding Huizhiyou's army is?"

"In November of last year, I was in Yancheng. Later, because of the urgent battle in Yingshui, I was transferred to fight for a while, replacing the two armies of Kuangwei and Changjian. When a certain led the Feilong army to go south, they passed through Yancheng. The Youguo army had just returned. The Kuangwei and Changjian armies went north again." Dai Siyuan replied.

"The two armies of Kuangwei and Changjian are now on the east bank of Yingshui."

"Exactly."

"Are you good at fighting?"

"Better at fighting than You Guojun." Dai Siyuan was a little strange, don't you know whether he is good at fighting or not?Yingshui has fought against each other more than once.

"I heard that the Youguo Army was also reorganized from the Xuanwu Ya Army, why can't they fight?"

"Without him, the morale is low." Dai Siyuan replied: "Although the Battle of Ruzhou was not a big defeat, but he left in a hurry, lost a lot of troops, and the morale of the army was affected. This man Ding Hui... well."

"Ding Hui is a veteran in the battlefield, why does General Dai despise him?" Gao Renhou asked from the side.

"Because of Ruzhou's defeat, Dinghui blamed himself quite a lot. He set up mourning halls in the army to commemorate the fallen soldiers. And because he liked to sing dirges, every time he went to a battalion, he ordered the drummers to play mourning music and sing funeral songs personally. It doesn't stop all day long. Once or twice is okay, but the number of times is too many, and the morale of the army has been affected. Pang Shigu was furious when he heard the news, and went to the Youguo barracks to scold him, but Ding Hui stopped."

Zhe Zongben and Gao Renhou were a little dazed.

They don't know that this is a habit that "rapper" Ding Hui developed when he was a child.

Ding Hui was born in Shouchun. He loved singing by nature, but he lacked correct guidance and went astray. When he sang, his voice was "sorrowful".Dai Siyuan listened to the gossip of veteran generals in Bianzhou, saying that when he was a child, Ding Hui would often hang out in the funeral procession and sing elegiac songs with him. He sang very attentively, emotionally, and distractedly, even more sadly than the dutiful son of his master.

After growing up, he practiced martial arts hard, worshiped the famous ranger in history, and developed the subdivision of "generous elegy" horizontally.But in general, his singing style has not broken out of the old stereotype, and has always been very "sorrowful".

In history, when Emperor Zhaozong was murdered, Ding Hui, who guarded Luzhou, ordered the whole army to stay silent. He stepped onto the big stage and acted as the lead singer himself. Zhu Quanzhong was skeptical about his life and felt that Ding Hui was about to turn against him. Next——Ding Huizhen Zelu, with great military exploits, many soldiers from Hedong who were captured on the battlefield in his army, they rebelled, Zhu Quanzhong didn't dare to move lightly.

Of course, some people said that Ding Hui's elegy was not sung to Zhaozong, but to the many old brothers who were killed by Zhu Quanzhong.Quan Zhong can only share adversity. As soon as he gains power, he starts to clean up veterans. If he can't share wealth, Ding will be disappointed and sad, and vent his dissatisfaction.

"Ding Hui is also a man of temperament." Zhe Zongben said with a smile: "According to what General Dai said, the Youguo army is stationed in Yancheng, and there are many soldiers and generals. How should we map it?"

After Caizhou, Yancheng has been exposed to the front of Weisheng army. If they go north, the head of the Ding club will bear the brunt.

"Huai Zheshuai, Youguo's army originally had [-] soldiers. Even if there were battle losses in Yingshui, the main force is still there. If you defend the city and fortress, you can't take it with the strength of the two generals Zhe and Qibi." Dai Siyuan said truthfully: "Now it's better to keep an eye on Dianshi Shucong. Feisheng and Xiongwei have [-] troops, they are old troops who have fought for many years. They have fought against Shi Pu, Zhu Xuan, Zhu Jin and Luo Hongxin. They have won many battles and won many battles. They should not be underestimated. On the other hand, Shi Shucong will definitely recruit local braves in Xu, Su, and Bo prefectures, and there are many people, so it is better to be on the safe side to kill all the way to Yingzhou."

"General Dai didn't blindly follow my words, but reported the facts according to the facts. One is one, and the other is two. It really has the style of a good general." Zhe Zongben praised, and said with a smile: "Forget it, let's rectify the prefectures and counties first. Find out about the battle situation in Yingzhou."
