Lord of the House

On the 24th, Luxi defender Chu Liang led his troops to surrender.

Although Chu Liang wanted to go to Tanzhou after Yuan Da collapsed and Huang Binghao was killed, he sent people to Tanzhou on the 19th, and on the 22nd he didn't even see Zhang Han, the envoy of Tanzhou.

Seeing that there was no response from Tanzhou, the generals' families were all in Yuanzhou City, under the control of Huaidong, and there were only 3,000 weak guards in Luxi.

Zhou Qichang led his troops to take over Luxi City, and was ordered to disarm the original defenders. The soldiers under Xu Du's commander surrendered their weapons and left the camp, and returned to their hometown according to the toll of each person's head, and transferred Chu Liang and the generals to Yuanzhou City for use. .

However, after arriving in Yuanzhou City, Luxi secretly contacted Tanzhou and wanted to vote for Zhang Han. Chu Liang and others were arrested and imprisoned in Yuanzhou.

Until the end of August, the territory of Yuanzhou was still in chaos, with 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers scattered in the territory. It was not cleared up in a short period of time. Almost every day, several villages were looted by the rebels and bandits.

The main force of the Huaidong Army's infantry and cavalry was mainly concentrated in Xinyu in the lower reaches of the Yuan River to besiege the remnants of Zhang Xiongshan. In order not to affect the main force to be transferred to the north at any time to participate, Lin Fu clearly handed over the responsibility of clearing out the bandits and chasing down the remnants of Chen Zishou to Yuanzhou. House and hand it over to Zhou Zhizheng and Wu Jingze.

After the Yuanzhou Prefecture Army took in the remnants of the Yuanzhou Army who had defected and called Zhou Zhizheng's trust, the force rapidly expanded to 2,000 people. In normal times, it was enough to maintain law and order in the territory. One by one, it would not be too much of a problem. big.

However, due to the collapse of the Heshan, Mengshan and Moshan mountains in the north of Yuanzhou, there was no progress in chasing the remnants of Chen Zishou. Chen Zishou was always Yuanzhou's biggest threat compared to the fact that he was defeated and turned into bandits.

Under such circumstances, Zhou Zhizheng knew that Chu Liang wanted to throw himself into Tanzhou and disrupt the situation in Yuanzhou before he surrendered. He discussed with Wu Jingze and immediately arrested Chu Liang and others and sent them to prison on the 29th. Go down to Yuan.

Yuanzhou City was still in chaos, the government army had recruited a large number of surrendered troops, and military discipline was somewhat lax, but in Xiayuan City, the situation was much better. Lin Fu was stationed in Xiayuan, and the defense of Xiayuan was completely taken over by the Huaidong Cavalry Battalion. The purge that began on the 20th almost wiped out Huang Binghao's remaining forces in Xiayuan City.

Chu Liang stood in the standing cage with iron shackles on his hands and feet, and if he moved, his flesh would rub off.

These days in Yuanzhou, more than a dozen heads fall to the ground every day. What was given to Qingsu was to be identified as a remnant of Huang Binghao or a confidant of Huang Binghao who participated in the surrender of prisoners before the Yuanzhou war.

Chu Liang did not know whether he was considered a direct confidant of Huang Binghao. The wife he remarried was the middle daughter of the Huang Binghao clan, but he was born in the East Fujian Army. Although he was in the East Fujian Army, he was injured and retired after only being a small school in front of Lu Jingyan's tent, but because of this relationship, he was not as trusted by Huang Binghao as Chen Zishou and Zhang Xiongshan in the Jiangzhou Army.

After all, there are too many generals in the East Fujian Army who joined Huaidong. The generals of Lu Jingyan’s family, Chen Dingbang and Geng Quanshan are all first-level generals in the Huaidong Army. Although Chu Liang is very low-level in the East Fujian Army, they are also To be considered from the East Fujian Army - but Chu Liang knew in his heart that he left the East Fujian Army too early, and had no friendship with senior generals such as Gao Zongting, Chen Dingbang, Geng Quanshan, and the Yu family brothers, and although his clan brother was quite fond of Lu Jingyan in his early years Trust, but died early in the Jinan war.

Before the war, he said that he would not be in charge of throwing captives into Yan, but he also advocated guarding against Huaidong. At this time, he sent someone to contact Tanzhou, and there was no room for him to distinguish in Xiayuan City.

Lin Bie wanted to kill and stand out in Yuanzhou, and he wouldn't mind killing one or two more trivial fish.

Knowing that in Xiayuan this time, no matter how hard it was to survive, Chu Liang had no fear in his heart. When he entered the city, he looked up at the Huaidong Jia soldiers guarding the front of the city tower, like an old and simple sword. Only veteran generals in military affairs can understand the introverted toughness of Huaidong's soldiers, with the sharpness honed in the real **** battle, far from being able to stop ordinary soldiers.

Chu Liang felt sad in his heart: Huaidong had a hundred battles and 300,000 swordsmen, but Huang Binghao did not know how to greed for the riches and honors of the king, which caused many people to end up in the current situation.

At this time, a small group of men and horses came up from the city, and the clothes and armor were only slightly different from those of the guards in front of the city.

The first person asked the **** school: "The people who are being escorted are Chu Liang, the general of Luxi, and others?"

The **** school replied, "Exactly." Chu Liang didn't know the person who came, but the **** school knew that the clothes and armor the person wore represented the identity of the privy envoy and guard.

"This is the order of the privy emissary," said the person who came to hand over a warrant and the tooth card he was wearing to the escort's small check, "You can go back and pay the order, and Chu Liang will give it to us."

The escorted small school took Lin Bing's warrant and returned to surrender the order. Chu Liang and the others would not mind who would take over them, nor would they mind who would execute them.

When they walked to a building complex that looked like a post house, the people who came to untie the wooden cages for Chu Liang and the others, and said to Chu Liang and the others: "Chu Liang, you come with us to the lord's chariot, and the others are resting in the post house. No What's the matter, don't wander around the city, even if you want to go out for a walk, remember to come back here before dark. The curfew is not lifted, the patrolling soldiers and horses will stop it, and a big stick will be indispensable. No one can intercede for you."

Is this not killing?

Chu Liang was confused and rushed to Xingyuan. Someone on the road watched them come in and asked the person who brought him into the house with a smile: "Is this the person General Chu wants to protect?"

Lin Fu watched Zhao Mengxiong bring Chu Liang in, nodded, and said: "Chu Zheng said that you are a little talented, it seems that Chu Zheng has apologized for you. Although Chu Zheng is of the same family as you, you continue to marry the Huang family. Daughter, when Chu Zheng moved his family to Chongzhou, he did not disturb your wealth, I wonder what your feelings are at this time?"

"Ah!" Chu Liang was stunned for a moment. Jiangxi was still chaotic, and the clan members were scattered. In the early years, he heard that Chu Zheng died in the Jinan war. After that, he did not deliberately inquire about the whereabouts of Chu Zheng's family. His family has long since moved to Chongzhou.

"Before the war, you didn't persuade Huang Binghao to join the imperial court, but after the war you decided to join Tanzhou, and you wanted to disturb the current situation that Yuanzhou had finally settled down. Although you led your troops to surrender later, the crime was not worth it, and the crime should be considered an exile. I think you won't be dissatisfied," Lin Fu said regardless of Chu Liang's state of mind, "Well, Chu Zheng is serving as a general in Yizhou, you should go to Yizhou to do hard labor for a few years! In addition, the news that you secretly contacted Tanzhou is that Zhang Han leaked it on purpose, don't doubt your generals."

Gao Zongting issued a transit document to Chu Liang and asked Chu Liang to leave. Chu Liang fell into a dream, since Chu Zheng was the general of the Huaidong Army at this time, and they went to work in front of Chu Zheng's tent at this time, and it was their only way out in the troubled times.

After Chu Liang left, Lin Fu and Gao Zongting smiled and said, "Zhang Han still wants to disrupt the situation at this time, it's really hard for him."

After all, Chu Liang led his troops to surrender. Although he secretly contacted Tanzhou and killed him, it was not inappropriate, but he would make the Tanzhou generals vigilant and help Zhang Han to unite the hearts of Xiangtan.

Yuanzhou had already defected to the extravagant family and confronted the imperial court at this time. From Huang Binghao and below, everyone was a traitor. Most people were worried about liquidation, so it was easy to coerce Huang Binghao. In the end, a large number of people were tied to a tree. hang.

Unlike Yuanzhou, Tanzhou was nominally a part of the imperial court. From Zhang Han onwards, all civil and military officials in Tanzhou were officials of the imperial court. In front of the Huaidong army, if the civil and military officials of Tanzhou joined Huaidong, they would have no psychological burden of liquidation afterwards.

In this case, it would be unrealistic for Zhang Han to coerce the civil and military officials of Tanzhou to become independent.

Killing or not killing Chu Liang has a profound impact on the civil and military officials of Tanzhou. Even if there is no relationship with Chu Zheng, Lin Fu would not arbitrarily kill Chu Liang and other generals.

Killing Huang Binghao was to deter Zhang Han and others from making any changes; keeping Chuliang was to relieve the middle and lower civil and military officials of Tanzhou that they did not need to fear Huaidong.

"I really can't, I'll go to Tanzhou?" Gao Zongting said.

"No need," Lin Fu shook his head, "The mess on Xinyu's side will be sorted out in the next two days, and then you will follow me north, and there is no time to go to Tanzhou. Even if Zhang Han doesn't have the heart to succumb, he will I don't have the ability to do anything. It's not too late to deal with him after a while."

Huang Binghao had 40,000 soldiers and horses in Yuanzhou, so he gave Huaidong a branch. Although Tanzhou had 40,000 soldiers and horses, even if Zhang Han was obsessed with lard and wanted to fight against Huaidong, what about the civil and military officers under his command? Follow him blindly?

Zhang Han is unwilling, and he will not do harm for the time being. Instead, he can use this as an excuse to clean up Tanzhou in the future.

Gao Zongting smiled and said, "Yes."

********************

In the garden of the Si Nei residence, the envoy of the Tanzhou system, the lights were as bright as day.

Huang Binghao was defeated and killed in Yuanzhou. After the news reached Tanzhou, Zhang Han had not slept well, and his eyes were bloodshot.

"The fall of Nanyang is imminent, and the Yanhu army will most likely go south to attack Jingzhou immediately," Zhang Zuojun, the second son of Zhang Han, looked very tired. , "At the front line of Jingxiang, Huaidong and Yanhulu will die, it is still unknown. I, Tanzhou, do not hold Huaidong's hands and feet, but I did not obey him at this time."

"Even if Nanyang falls, Duke Chongguo must eat Huang Binghao first," said the middle-aged scribe who stood opposite Zhang Zuojun, Gu Hao, Zhang Han's trusted advisor for many years, "Duke Chongguo showed his heroic appearance in Yuanzhou. Even at the **** means, Tanzhou did not express his position at this time, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to turn around in the future. At this time, he asked the second son to bring his family to the Huaidong Army as a pledge. With An Huaidong's heart, Huaidong would not be able to solve Tan immediately. The military power of the state should even be comforted here. If Duke Chongguo didn't have the luck of Jackie Chan and lost the battle against Yanhu in Jingxiang, he would instead rely more on Tanzhou in the future, which would only be good for Tanzhou. If there is a battle at Jingxiang and Huaidong wins another great victory, the situation between the north and the south will be clear, what else do you have to look forward to?

"I won't go to Yuanzhou~www.readwn.com~ Zhang Zuojun said categorically," Zhang's family in Xiangtan said nothing, how could they be instructed by others? "

"Tanzhou does not express its position at this time. Although Huaidong may not be able to stop Yanhu from taking Jingzhou, it is not a problem to hold the Yangtze River. After Huaidong's defense lines in Jiangzhou and Luzhou are stabilized, he will send troops to attack Tanzhou," Gu Hao said. "I dare to ask Second Young Master, how many elites from Huaidong can stop the influx of Huaidong's soldiers and horses if they can't compete with Yuanzhou's army yet?"

"Second brother won't go, then I'll take this trip," said Zhang Zuowu, Zhang Han's eldest son, who had been sitting beside Zhang Han for a long time. From, how many people in the prefects and military affairs of the Xiang, Tan, Zhu, and Yue houses will sincerely be tied to a tree with our Zhang family? Are you not afraid that there will be another Zhou Zhizheng in Xiangtan?"

Zhang Han sighed lightly, looking at the second son with some unavoidable disappointment in his eyes. He even wanted to keep his eldest son Zuowu by his side to assist the military and political affairs, but the second son refused to go to Huaidong's army as a hostage. The twisted melon would not be sweet, and insisting on him would not ease the relationship with Huaidong. When disasters happen, it is not good, but the eldest son Zuowu is good at discernment and calm.

"Then ask Zuo Wu to go, and Mr. Gu will go to Yuanzhou together," Zhang Han said. "The Zhang family is an official of the imperial court. The foreign captives have entered the pirates, the imperial court has suffered hardships, and the privy envoy is called. My Zhang family cannot stand by and watch. You go. Yuanzhou, no matter if Duke Chongguo keeps him in the army or asks you to go to Jiangning as an official, you must do your best; after we leave, the troops and horses from Tanzhou will be scattered in the houses..."

"Your Excellency is clear." Gu Hao said. At this time, the north and the south are already fighting for the supremacy, and only the Cao family can hold a corner in eastern Sichuan. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
