Chapter 830
It is said that Tang Hui, governor of Huguang, was defeated by Zhang Shun, so he took Tang Wang Zhu Yujian with him and rushed back to Xiangyang in a panic along the way, defending it tenaciously.

Then he played to the court: "Last year, Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Yunyang, was ordered by Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, to lead his troops to the north. He marched lightly, and was killed in Songxian County. "

"In order to kill this beast, I have been invited by Henan governor Fu Zonglong since the beginning of the year, regardless of his life and death, to enter Henan to attack the traitors."

"My minister led You Shiwei, Zhang Waijia, You Zhaiwen, Xu Chengming and other generals into the Henan border. They fought every day, and never slacked off for a day."

"Unexpectedly, the situation in Henan is already in jeopardy. The thieves broke through Runing and Nanyang, and the Chongfan and Tangfan suffered disasters; they even went down to Ruzhou and Ye County, and the gentry and common people suffered disasters!"

"At this critical time, I tried my best to cheer up and re-encircled Nanyang. There were no less than dozens of battles, and the Hongyi cannons bombarded me constantly in the morning and evening, so that I still have tinnitus."

"Just as Nanyang City was crumbling, the bandit chief 'Shun Bandit' suddenly led his army southward, and trampled on our formation with his four hooves."

"Our army has been fighting hard for more than a month. The soldiers are exhausted and their morale is low. It is difficult to resist. The minister and the king of Tang came to the battle in person to boost morale. They killed and injured dozens of thieves. However, the "shun thieves" are treacherous and cruel , the ministers and others are outnumbered, and have no choice but to go south!"

"Fortunately, although there are losses, Xiangyang is fortunately preserved, so that the overall situation will not be ruined."

"I dare to say anything, but if you have a minister, you will not let the thieves step into Huguang; if you have a minister, you will not let Huguang lose a city. Minister Tang Hui weeps and worships again!"

When Chongzhen and the princes of Chaoshanggungun saw the memorial of Huguang governor, they were almost laughed at by him.

Since the rise of the "Shun Thieves", the whereabouts of Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, and Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Yunyang, are unknown. Fu Zonglong, the governor of Henan, died in battle.
Poor Tang Hui thought hard for a long time, and finally came up with this escape plan, which was immediately seen through by the government and the public.

How to do?For cold salad, Tang Hui, the governor of Huguang, has no choice.

After attacking Nanyang for a long time before, he wanted to retreat.However, it is estimated that the court will pursue it. It doesn't matter if you lose your life, but the whole family has to find a way out, so it has been delayed for a long time.

Now using "'Shun Thief' leading the main force" as an excuse, I thought I could get away with it.But he never expected that the first "distributor" Lu Xiangsheng's life and death were unknown, and the second "distributor" Fu Zonglong died directly in battle.It was a big black pot, so I had to carry it myself.

After more than ten days, the court's punishment came down as expected:
Tang Hui, the governor of Huguang, lost his nationality to the people and was sent to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. He was punished after a joint trial by the three divisions.

Tang Wang Zhu Yujian, as the imperial family of the Ming Dynasty, sat by and watched the other vassals die without saving them. He heard rumors that he was suspected of colluding with the bandits in the city, abolishing the government for private reasons, and taking the opportunity to avenge personal revenge.

After the court's discussion, he was ordered to become a commoner, Fengyang was confined, and Zhu Yukai was changed to be the king of Tang Dynasty.

That Tang Wang Zhu Yujian was watching Huguang governor Tang Hui's joke nearby, and he never thought that such things would have his own share.

He couldn't help shouting loudly: "I am wronged, I am wronged!"

Hearing the words, the eunuch delivering the decree couldn't help but smile and said: "Prince Tang, no, Zhu Yujian!"

"Anyway, the palace of the Tang Dynasty is gone. It doesn't matter if you become the Tang Dynasty or not? What's more, you are a Confucian scholar who is a Confucian scholar, and everyone is watching the matter of raising the dead. You can deny it." No!"

Zhu Yujian suddenly collapsed on the ground.Now his concubine is gone, his palace is gone, even his title of prince is gone, nothing is left!

He couldn't help muttering to himself: "Why, why!"

"Why?" The eunuch who delivered the decree sneered, "If it's yours, you don't need to reach out; if it's not yours, you can't reach out!"

"You have made friends with so many capable people and strangers, is there no one who can tell you such a simple truth?"

How did Zhang Shun know that he didn't need to do it himself, the princes in the court had already dealt with Huguang governor Tang Hui, Tang Wang Zhu Yujian and others for him.

As the cavalry under his command marched in a hurry for several days, and You Shiwei and Zhang Waijia's closed-door cavalry looked around, Zhang Shun didn't dare to force him too much, but after defeating the officers and soldiers, he hanged far behind and sent off the group of people to leave the country.

After chasing to the border of Huguang in Henan, the rebels were willing to give up.

The border between the two places in Henan is now under the jurisdiction of Xinye. After Liu Bei took refuge in Liu Biao, he was stationed here.

From the eve of the Battle of Guandu, which was broken by Cao Cao, until Cao Cao pacified the entire north, Liu Bei stayed here for seven years.

The reason why Liu Biao of Jingzhou allowed Liu Bei to settle here is because Xinye is bordered by Luoyang and Nanyang in the north, Jingmen and Xiangyang in the south, and the Baihe River and Tang River flow through this place.

If Nanyang is the gateway from the south to the north, and Xiangyang is the gateway from the north to the south, then Xinye is located between the two and is the gateway shared by Nanyang and Xiangyang.

After Zhang Xiu took refuge in Cao Cao, Liu Biao's Xiangyang was exposed to Cao Cao's soldiers, and Liu Bei was stationed in Xinye to defend Cao Cao.

This is enough to explain Xinye's shielding effect on Xiangyang.

Although Zhang Shun didn't know this matter in detail, he could see the important role of Xinye.

He hurriedly took advantage of the opportunity of the officers and soldiers retreating to Xiangyang to avoid the sharp edge of the rebel army and occupied this place.

After that, Zhang Shun ordered Zhang Yichuan, the "King of Sweeping the Floor", to temporarily station in Xinye to monitor the movements of the officers and soldiers who had returned to Xiangyang, while he himself led other troops back to Nanyang City.

Nanyang City was still the same Nanyang City, Zhang Shun felt very different when he saw this place again.

The previous time I entered through the north gate, but this time I returned through the south gate.

Zhang Shun rode the "Thousand Li Snow" captured from Lu Xiangsheng, and led the cavalry in a column.

Both sides were surrounded by men, women and children from the city. When they saw Zhang Shun coming in, they burst into tears and said, "It's King Shun. King Shun, you're back!"

One or two is enough, Zhang Shun also said that Xiao Qinhu and others hired actors.

But it's unusual for many people to say that.

Zhang Shun couldn't help getting off his horse, walked up to a trembling old man, and asked strangely: "Shun is also ignorant, I don't know that I have such a great reputation in Nanyang City, how dare I ask the old man why?"

The old man was excited when he heard this, and he held Zhang Shun's hand tightly and said, "King Shun's benevolence is well known to everyone. You promised us the land of King Tang and the gentry, and we all remember your kindness!"

"It's just that everyone is worried that you won't be able to beat the officers and soldiers. Everything is empty talk and useless."

"Now that the rebel army is victorious, it should be our blessing!"

Zhang Shun was confused when he heard this, and was about to open his mouth to ask, when Xiao Qinhu who came to greet him hurriedly tugged Zhang Shun's sleeve, and explained in a low voice: "At the time when the military situation was urgent, I took the gold, silver, and land from the palaces of the princes. Promise to the soldiers and the people."

"Follow the matter urgently. I'll admit it later, and you punish me. Let's play a double reed!"

"What?" Zhang Shun looked at Xiao Qinhu in surprise, you can deceive people with thick eyebrows and big eyes, who did you learn from?

The two have been brothers for a long time and have known each other for a long time.

How could Xiao Qinhu fail to see what Zhang Shun meant?He couldn't help winking and beckoning: It's you, it's you, it's you who taught me to lie!
