Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1011 Only listen to the order and not the announcement

Zhang Zhenzhou went down the river from Jiangling, sailed smoothly on the Jingjiang River, and arrived in Hanyang a few days later.

Zhang falsely claimed that he was going to attack Lin Shihong in Jiangxi, and entered Hanyang temporarily as a supplement. After cheating to open the city gate, he immediately captured Lei Changying and Hanyang City.

Lei Changying's son outside the city led his troops to Hankou on the other side of the Han River, but the Hankou Qin Army who was supposed to take them in instead tied them up and sent them across the river to Zhang Zhenzhou in Hanyang City.The soldiers and horses who followed him across the river were taken in by the Qin army.

The general of Hankou sent a letter to Zhang Zhenzhou, saying that Lei Changying's rebellion was Liang's domestic affairs, and Daqin would not interfere.

Zhang Zhenzhou ordered people to kill Lei Changying and his son, and then turned a blind eye to the Qin army taking in thousands of Leibu rebels.

Even a few days later, Hankou Qin general Zhai Mohou asked Zhang Zhenzhou to meet on board a boat on the Han River to reiterate the relationship between the two suzerains and vassals.

"Lei Changying, who is capricious and disloyal to the master, is punished by everyone. But now that the rebels have been punished, the Jianghan will return to peace and there will be no more turmoil."

Zhang Zhenzhou was also a Sui general. He went to Liuqiu Island with Zhu Kuan in his early years and passed an island, which he named Gaohuayu.

This island is the Diaoyu Island of later generations.

At that time, Zhu Kuan, the Yuqi captain of the Sui Dynasty, went to the sea to visit other customs, but he couldn't understand the language when he arrived in Liuqiu. Later, he arrested several people and returned.So Hu Benlang sent Chen Leng and Zhang Zhenzhou, the doctor invited by the court, to send ten thousand Dongyang soldiers from Yi'an to fight across the sea to seek the country.

This time, Chen Ling brought a Kunlun native who knew Liuqiu language, and tried to appease him again, but Liuqiu still refused, so Zhang Zhenzhou attacked Liuqiu as the vanguard. Seeking the capital of the country, beheading the old king, capturing his son, destroying his palace, captive and returning thousands of men and women, because of this battle, Zhang Zhenzhou was promoted from a fifth-rank loose official to a third-rank Jinzi Guanglu doctor.

Zhang Zhenzhou, who was born in Huainan, was a good water fighter. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, he led an army to attack Xiao Mian, but he was defeated and captured because of his outnumbered troops.

Sitting on the boat, Zhang Zhenzhou looked around and saw no one else around, and said, "I'm just a little puzzled, why did you abandon Lei Changying?"

When he came to suppress the rebellion this time, Liang Wang Xiao Xian was notified by the imperial edict of the Great Qin Emperor, and only then did he know that Lei Changying was going to rebel and surrender to Qin, so Zhang Zhenzhou commanded troops to quell the rebellion.

"Lei Changying is also a thief." Zhai Mohou said.

But this reply was not enough to satisfy Zhang Zhenzhou, "As far as I know, Lei Changying is not the only one who wants to surrender to Qin. Zhou Faming, who is currently stationed in Jiangxia, also wants to surrender to Qin, but you have not abandoned him."

"Zhou Faming is the younger brother of Zhou Fashang. Zhou Fashang accompanied the emperor of my family to conquer Goguryeo several times. He made great achievements and has a sense of incense."

"In the past, your people went south to move around, but now why do you want to abandon Lei Changying and refuse to accept Zhou Faming and the others to return to Qin?"

"General Zhang, you are also a sensible person. There is no need to say too clearly about some things. The current situation is a bit chaotic. The Emperor does not want to have a war with San Francisco at this time. As long as you can keep yourselves, then some small actions will be fine." Open your eyes and close your eyes. Of course, this does not mean that we are afraid of war. If you really go too far, then you have to start a fight. I believe that if there is a real fight, the final winner will still be me, Daqin, but that's all. Once it comes, it will only make the people suffer.”

Zhang Zhenzhou is quite satisfied with this answer. In fact, the current Xiliang is actually in chaos. No one can see the future. Xiao Xian has long since removed the title of emperor and changed his name to king, and proclaimed himself a minister to Daqin, but everyone knows that one day, sooner or later, When Da Qin Teng takes action, it will be the day to cut down the feudal clan.

But whether it was Xiao Yu, Lin Shihong or Shen Faxing, San Francisco did not have the courage to fight against Qin Jun.

He couldn't fight again and again, and he was not quite reconciled to joining Chang'an, so he buried his head, and it was a day to be a vassal king.

This time, if Lei Changying and Zhou Faming really wanted to surrender to Qin, Xiao Mian might not dare to say anything, but the Emperor of Qin issued a secret edict, saying that they would not interfere in Liang's domestic affairs and let them clean up their own affairs. Only then dare to send troops to quell the chaos.

Zhang Zhenzhou felt that sooner or later, Xiao Xian would probably be recruited into the court by the Great Qin just like Xiao Cong, and this small court would be destroyed.

As a Sui general who later attached to Xiliang, Zhang Zhenzhou was naturally not loyal to Xiao Xian, but he had no choice but to be in the Cao camp, but if the Qin army really attacked the small court in Jiangling, Zhang Zhenzhou would definitely not resist surrendering .

Of course, in the Jiangling small court, there will definitely be some people who will resist. Perhaps it is because of this that the Great Qin has not taken action against Jiangling, but it is just not ready yet.

"General Zhang came east to put down the rebellion this time, so he will stay in Hanyang for the time being and won't leave?" Zhai Mohou asked. He is Zhai Rang's nephew. Had a good friendship.With this relationship, although Zhai Mohou didn't have any great achievements, he is now an official in Anlu County, and he is in charge of a county's soldiers.

"Well, Your Majesty has appointed me as the prefect of Mianyang County."

Originally, after Xiao Xian became emperor, Jiangling restored the prefecture and county system in Jianghan, but after becoming a minister of the Great Qin, the land of Jiangling's small court was designated as Hunan Road, and only half of Nanjun and half of Mian remained north of the Yangtze River. Yang County, most of the remaining land is in the Yangtze River and Dongting Hunan.

Xiao Xian respected the order of Luoyang and changed it to the county system, controlling the remaining eleven counties.

"Jiangxia prefect Zhou Faming won't be transferred, will he?"

"Well, not yet."

Jiangxia and Mianyang counties, one in the south of the Yangtze River and the other in the north of the Yangtze River, are both located at the mouth of the Han River, and at the same time they are close to Huainan and Jiangxi. It can be said that this is a very important strategic area.

Xiao Mian should know something about Zhou Faming's unreliability at this time, but he didn't touch Zhou Faming, so he knew that this Xiao Mian had no ambition at all, and was really trying to survive.

"That's good. In the future, we will be good neighbors in the three cities of Hanyang and Jiangxia in Hankou."

The three cities are all near the Yangtze River and are very close to each other.

"Well, we need to get closer in the future." Zhang Zhenzhou also said immediately.

The two laughed, but they didn't understand each other.

Holding the land of a county in their hands, commanding these soldiers and population, when the Great Qin wants to cut down the vassal in the future, this is the capital of Zhang Zhenzhou and the others. Of course, this is not the capital of fighting against the Great Qin court, but their capital of entering the Qin Dynasty as officials.

"If you have anything to do in the future, just say hello." Zhang Zhenzhou said politely to Zhai Mohou, Prime Minister of Anlu County.Although when he was promoted to the third-rank Jinziguanglu doctor, this Zhai Mohou was just a powerful young man in the Kanto region, and his uncle was only a sixth-rank official of the Eastern County Facao, but now it is different from the past. The three counties of Lu, Mianyang, and Jiangxia must be centered on Anlu County.
