Humane Yongchang

Chapter 364
The army rested for three days in Luoyi.

He also checked Luoyi City back and forth three times.

The wealth and goods obtained, after sorting out the sundries that are less than four or six, such as carved doors and windows, gilded night pots, Mr. Jade horns, etc., are still no more than [-] carts.

The amount of grain that was confiscated was even more than [-] stone. The strangest thing was that many of the hosts looked pale, skinny, and had never eaten enough food. Even a small half of them are already rotten, and the red-clothed soldiers who are directly teaching the inspection are all shouting that the knife will pierce the buttocks-eyes open!

But what surprised Chen Sheng the most was the more than 9000 good horses that were cleared from the horse farms and manors around Luoyi!

Of these nearly [-] horses, the horse farm of the Ji Zhou clan contributed more than half, and the rest was the contribution of the forbidden army camps, the princes, princes, and nobles in Luoyi City. With a lot of effort, he easily brought these horses back from the large or small pastures and horse farms... As for their owners, as early as the night when Li Xin broke into the city, he followed him. The imperial guards and guards who protected Ji Lie, Ji Ye and other Ji Zhou clans fled in a hurry!

Of course, Chen Sheng didn't care about the escape of those princes, princes, and nobles from aristocratic families. For him, it was a good thing that these people escaped!

If he stayed in Luoyi and stood firm, he would be really difficult!

It's all cut with a knife, it's too cruel, and it's not good to get a good reputation.

Let it go, it's all a scourge, and he can't bear this bad breath.

Let's take them all back to Chen County, then it's better to cut them all down, so as not to waste his food.

It is the best solution to let those wastes who have more than enough success and more than failure continue to harm Ji Zhou!

Nine thousand good horses...

Even though there is still time to take a careful inventory, I don't know how many of these good horses can be used as war horses for cavalry riding, and how many can only be used as stallions and draw horses. Chen Sheng already knows that the cavalry division he has been thinking about for a long time, Has fallen!

The attack on Luoyi has thus far been a complete victory.

The only thing that Chen Sheng regrets about the harvest is that the [-] soldiers in the red coat dug three feet in Luoyi, but they were not able to find the traces of the nine cauldrons.

It is said that before King Ping moved eastward, Jiuding had been buried with King Mu's mausoleum to continue Ji Zhou's national fortune.

It is said that Jiuding was buried in the famous mountains and rivers of Kyushu as early as when King Ping re-determined the mountains and rivers of Kyushu to form the foundation of the great formation of Kyushu!
It is also said that the Jiuzhou Ding has been secretly hidden in the hands of the Jizhou clan, and has entered Yizhou with the king of Wei and the king of Qi.

In short, the father said that the public is reasonable, the mother said that the mother is reasonable, everyone has nose and eyes, but no one can prove it!
The only thing that can be confirmed is that the Jiuzhou Ding has not been seen in the world for hundreds of years. In previous years, the Jiuzhou Ding displayed in Ji Zhou's ceremony of sacrificing the heavens were all just imitations and fakes.

Chen Sheng was determined to dig up the mausoleums of King Zhou Mu and King Zhou Ping. He had no taboos and was not afraid of his historian's pen. If he could find the Jiuzhou Ding, King Wen of Zhou would dare to invite him to come out and bask in the sun!
But these two mausoleums, the world only knows that one is in Haojing and the other is in Luoyi. The detailed location is not to mention historical records, and even the children of the Ji Zhou clan don't know... The Special Warfare Bureau tortured hundreds of people who did not have time to flee west. The children of the side branch clan, have not been able to get any useful information!
In the end, Chen Sheng could only accept this regret...

In the early morning of the fifth day of the eighth lunar month, the army pulled out and returned to Chen.

Eighty thousand strong troops, tens of thousands of horses, and [-] carriages traveled dozens of miles on the winding horse road facing the rising sun. What a spectacular scene!
On the other side, the [-] Tiantian army had already rushed to Guancheng under the leadership of Chen Ying to meet the army without giving the King Jian army of Hanoi County a chance!
And until this time, the shocking news of Li Xin's breakthrough of Luoyi and the burning of the stone that killed Zhou Tianzi Ji Qin had just spread all over Kyushu and started to ferment!
……

Yongzhou, Xianyang, state animal husbandry.

The angel who announced the decree looked nervously at the top, who was sitting upright with no expression on his face. He didn't stand up to salute to receive the decree, and after he had read the decree, the prefect Ying Zheng, who didn't respond at all, looked at the hall as if asking for help. On the left is the chariot general Zhang Han, who is also sitting in a dangerous position.

Aware of the angel's gaze, Zhang Han secretly glanced at Ying Zheng in the hall, clenched his body and gritted his teeth secretly, but in the end he didn't dare to stand up, so he bowed his head guiltily, not daring to meet the angel's gaze.

Know your own business.

The imperial court sent him to Yongzhou to take over the private soldiers named Ying who could repel the barbarians who invaded Kyushu from the Hexi Corridor, that is, the Yongzhou government soldiers later.

However, the [-] Ying private soldiers who are the main force of Yongzhou's soldiers are the former Yanzhou soldiers who followed Ying Zheng to fight for thousands of miles. No one in the world recognizes him except Ying Zheng. He is a chariot general and is nominally Yongzhou. The commander-in-chief of the government soldiers, but in fact, among the Yongzhou government soldiers, his status is not even inferior to that of Ying Zheng's bodyguard, Zhao Tuo!

Not to mention mastering the Yongzhou government's soldiers to make up Yingzheng, even his own little life is all in Yingzheng's thought!
How could he have the courage to rebel against Ying Zheng?

Of course, in private, he was indeed subtly convinced by Ying Zheng's bearing, and he had been secretly approaching Ying Zheng in private, but because of the great mountain of Wei King Jilie that was on top of his head, he couldn't and dared not completely collapse. To Ying Zheng.

But now this mountain has collapsed...

He is already hesitating whether he should continue to remain neutral!
Both sides are not guilty, but both sides are not flattering!
I don't know how long it was silent, and Wei Liao, sitting in the prefecture's mansion at the top right of the main hall, slowly opened his mouth with his beard and said, "The old man just heard the 'edict' announced by the angel, I don't know where the 'edict' came from. Why did the old man hear that the Son of Heaven collapsed in the Spring and Autumn Palace?"

Wei Liao's question was very sharp, but the angel breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly said in his heart, "It's good to discuss some things, and some things are good." With nothing to do, after urgent discussions between His Royal Highness King Wei, His Royal Highness King Qi and the high-ranking ministers in the middle of the dynasty, it was unanimously decided to support the younger brother of the former emperor, and His Royal Highness King Zhao ascended the throne, crusades rebellion, and reorganizes the society..."

Wei Liao frowned in great displeasure, and said solemnly, "The important affairs of the country, the sacrifice and the army, the death of the first emperor is less than a month away, and the period of filial piety is far away, how can we hold the ceremony of enthronement and swear to punish the thief's family and country. A major event? Where would such an inappropriate name and disrespectful behavior be placed in the ceremony? Where would the late emperor be placed?"

The angel hurriedly explained: "Go back to Duke Wei, take power in a hurry, His Royal Highness King Wei, His Royal Highness King Qi and all the ministers in the court have already discussed..."

"enough!"

Before the angel's words were finished, a bronze wine baron smashed heavily in front of him, and the splashed wine shot him in the face. He was agitated suddenly, looked up, and saw Fang Yingzheng glaring at him!

In an instant, Ying Zhengxu's angry expression turned into a roaring colorful tiger in the eyes of the angel!

Ying Zheng slapped the case a few times, and shouted angrily like a tiger's roar: "Slave, An dare to 'coax' to deceive me, come here, push out the person who speaks eloquently, and divide the body into five horses!"

The angel's face changed greatly, and he knelt on the ground regardless of his identity, and cried out in a mournful voice: "Prefect for mercy, prefect for mercy..."

Ying Zheng was even more angry, grabbed a corner of the broken case, and threw it at His Highness: "Shut up... people, where did they all die!"

In the roaring sound, several armored soldiers like wolves and tigers poured into the hall, and they pressed the angel to His Highness with all their hands and feet, covered their mouths, and dragged them out of the hall like a dead pig.

No matter how desperately the angel struggled and howled, Ying Zheng in the hall never spoke again.

It wasn't until the angel was dragged out of the hall by a group of soldiers that Ying Zheng shouted again, "Where is Zhang Han!"

Zhang Han, whose eyelids were twitching and his brows couldn't hide his panic, got up in a hurry, bowed three steps and walked two steps to His Highness, squeezed his palms and bowed to the end: "The last commander is here!"

Ying Zheng stared at him intently, and asked in a deep voice, "Can I trust you?"

Zhang Han became more and more flustered when he heard the words, but on the surface he still responded loudly without hesitation: "The last commander has been with the emperor for a long time, and if he does not give up, the last commander will swear to accompany him to the death!"

"Really?"

Ying Zhengxu raised a pair of long and narrow phoenix eyes, and his murderous intent skyrocketed between his eyes, and he asked in a playful tone, "Aren't you the chariot general of His Royal Highness King Wei?"

Zhang Han only felt a cold wind blowing in the hall, and his neck was chilly. He couldn't help thinking of the unfortunate ghost who had just been pushed out of the hall and beheaded, and his heart trembled more and more.

He knows that the next words are definitely the most important words in his life, but if there is one wrong word, the next words may be the last words he will say in his life!

At this moment, all the ancient books he had read and all the flattery he had heard in his life came to his mind together, and he felt that his mind had never been clearer than this moment.

He squeezed his palms and bowed again, and shouted in a high voice and earnestly: "The last general is a martial artist, and he also knows the word loyalty and righteousness. As the saying goes, choose the bird of the wood, get the good wood, choose the minister of the master, and get the Ming Lord, the last commander will have to meet the king. In the past, all kinds of things are like watching flowers on a horse. From now on, the life of the last commander will be the life of the king, and the body of the last commander will be the body of the king. No second thoughts!"

'Good guy! '

Ying Zheng and Wei Liao looked at each other and both saw the shock and admiration in the other's eyes.

As the saying goes, those who know the current affairs are Junjie, and this fellow is a Junjie!
"good!"

Ying Zheng gave a high five and sighed, strode down the hall, and happily lifted Zhang Hand up with his own hands: "I have to meet Zhang Qing, just like King Wen Wei Shui meets Tai Gong!"

Hearing that Ying Zheng compared himself to Jiang Taigong, Zhang Han thanked him forcibly again: "The last general swears to share weal and woe with the king, life and death, with Yu's words, heaven and man will slaughter them together!"

Ying Zheng helped Zhang Han up again, and said three "good" words in succession with a smile on his face, then took Zhang Han's arm, straightened his face, and said solemnly: "The son of a merchant in Chen County, who committed a rebellion, usurped the title of king, and murdered you!" The king seizes the tripod, everyone wins and punishes him. Now I want to send 20 troops to attack the merchant boy. I ask the Qing family to recruit soldiers and build a strong army on my behalf. The day the army is completed, I will worship Zhang Qing as the general. , when sending troops to attack merchants and children!"

Zhang Han heard the words, and his heart suddenly set off a thousand waves, but he still stabilized the old dog on his face, and he bowed to the end without hesitation: "The last will obey the order of the emperor!"

Ying Zheng patted Zhang Han's shoulder with satisfaction: "Zhang Qing's family will go to work, I will order Zhao Tuo to come and be the deputy general of Qing later!"

Zhang Han shook his hand: "I will retire at the end!"

After saying that, he bowed and walked quickly out of the hall.

After Zhang Han exited the hall, Wei Liao, who had not said a word for a long time at the first right, stroked his beard and sighed heavily: "Is Your Majesty too eager?"

Ying Zheng turned around and walked slowly into the hall, with a sonorous and powerful voice in a deep voice: "The merchant has already dared to walk a hundred steps. If I still dare not walk even fifty steps, wouldn't it be better than that merchant's son?"

Wei Liao glanced at his back speechlessly, and sighed again in his heart: 'Chen Sheng, you have become the devil of the king...'

He said no more.

Although he still thinks that it is really urgent to take a clear-cut stand against Ji Zhou now, and if he endures it for a little longer, maybe he can get another share of Ji Zhou's 500-year accumulation.

But this does not affect the overall situation!

Ji Zhou, the trend is over...

……

at the same time.

The main hall of the General's Mansion in Poyang County, Yangzhou.

The rich aroma of meat and wine pervades the magnificent hall.

But there was no sound of silk and bamboo in the hall, only the solemn shouts of men echoed in it.

I saw a large plate of delicious food filled with various food tables, and the proud men in brocade clothes and Chinese clothes sat behind the food tables, but no one touched these delicate food that was rarely seen on weekdays.

Instead, they all looked solemn, and turned their attention to Li Shiqi, who was talking eloquently in the center of the hall.

"...I personally think that Yangzhou has no danger to defend, and it is indeed not a place to live for a long time. The general must make plans early, otherwise once the 'chaotic thief' sends his troops south, it will be difficult to support without a king and teacher, and it will be too late to regret it!"

Li Shiqi, who had expressed his views for a long time, pinched his palm to the end, who was sitting at the top of the hall.

Holding the knife, Liu Ji absentmindedly cut the roast leg of lamb on the table, stuffing it into his mouth bit by bit. It wasn't until Li Shiqi finished speaking that he raised his head and scanned the hall carefully. There are more than ten civil servants and military generals around him: Xiao He, Wang Ling, Zhou Bo, Fan Kuai, Cao Can, Lv Ze, Xia Houying, Lu Wan, Yong Te, Zhou Chang, Li Shang, Sima Yu...

However, when he saw it, he felt a chill in his heart!

They were all companions from childhood to adulthood, even if they all kept their faces sullen and did not speak, how could he not see the fear in their eyes?

Even Fan Kuai, who has always been reckless and brave, not afraid of heaven and earth, has not touched the delicious food and wine in front of him for so long!

They were not sure that the King of Han, Chen Sheng, was coming, so they were timid.

If Chen Sheng really wanted to come, I'm afraid that before the battle, his cavalry army would collapse without a fight.

After pondering for a moment, he asked with expectation: "Sir, how likely is the King of Han to go south?"

Li Shiqi said without hesitation: "If there is a tiger sleeping soundly beside the Great General's couch, can the Great General allow it to continue sleeping soundly?"

Liu Ji replied without thinking: "Of course not, how can others be snoring on the side of the couch?"

Li Shiqi: "The great general is just like this tiger in that chaotic thief!"

Liu Ji woke up and smiled bitterly: "But the world is so big, where is my Liu Ji's shelter?"

He was so frightened by the Red Army that he fled all the way from Qiaojun to Yangzhou, and finally managed to gain a firm foothold. With the foundation of Yangzhou, if it was not a last resort, he really didn't want to escape!

Li Shiqi just pondered for a while, and then said decisively: "Yizhou is a dangerous fortress, with thousands of miles of fertile fields and a land of abundance. In the east, there is the Bolang army as a screen, and in the north, there is Yongzhou Yingzheng as an obstacle, and Ji Zhou has accumulated 500 years of income in Yizhou. State!"

"If you retire, the general can be Zhou's general. No matter who the deer dies, the general can win a wife and a son!"

"If you enter, the general can swallow Ji Zhou's 500 years of accumulation, and then use Ji Zhou as a banner to launch the Northern Expedition, and the people will eat pots of pulp to welcome the king's division. If so, then hegemony can be achieved!"

For the first time, he publicly challenged Liu Ji's ambitions in front of all the civil and military officials of the General's Mansion!
In an instant, everyone in the hall looked at Liu Ji.

When Liu Ji heard the word "dominant", he was also moved!
