Chapter 479: Zhu Biao suddenly realizes that he has roots
Taigu County City, Governor's Mansion.
The red sunset slants on the screen wall, and the landscape murals made of seven-color glazed glass reflect the splendid brilliance. As a scene of the governor's mansion, the glazed wall has a high reputation throughout Weizhou, and it is also Zhang Xing's favorite place on weekdays.
location.
With nothing to do, I pushed open the window grille of the study, and saw plum blossoms lying nearby, and clear ponds and green willows in the distance. As soon as I turned my eyes, I saw the colorful glazed walls. The landscape murals under the sunlight were all hazy, like a mirage.
Usually a projection is erected out of thin air.
But in recent months, Zhang Yingxiang no longer had time to look at the seven-color glazed wall. Especially after the defeat of the reinforcements, the entire governor's mansion was enveloped in a biting cold current.
The governor's wife is the daughter of the Liu family of the Xiyang family. Her closest brother was captured by Han soldiers, and she was captured under Zhang Yingxiang's nose. How could she look good to her husband!
Zhang Xiangxiang couldn't keep his wife, and a woman with a backer was more ferocious than a tiger. He had no choice but to secretly pray that Jianyang's heavenly soldiers could defeat the Han army as soon as possible. In that case, his brother-in-law would definitely come back. He pulled him to his wife to apologize, and everything
It's all over.
Thinking about it, the Han army's attack on Yuzhou has been going on for almost a month. As the governor of the state, Zhang Yingying has been like a roller coaster, going up and down, and has stopped and gone back and forth several times.
His eyes inadvertently glanced at the seven-color glazed wall again. Maybe it was because of his mood. Zhang Yingxiang felt that there was nothing interesting about this thing.
"Sir, master, the Han army has released my uncle..." Zhang Zhong, the housekeeper of the inner courtyard, ran up to the study out of breath. Before he could meet him, his voice reached Zhang Yingxiang's ears.
"What? You said that my uncle was released by the Han army?" Zhang Yingxiang seemed to have a spring under his butt, bouncing up from the seat.
"Yes, they are all at the gate of the mansion!" Zhang Zhong responded. He also knew that Liu Pei was hung in a basket by the defenders at the top of the city and pulled up to the top of the city. Although he had the identity, there were several people outside the city.
No one among the thousands of Han troops dared to open the city gate without authorization!
Zhang Xiangxiang's eyelids twitched. He felt that something had happened, and it was a big event... The Han army actually released a heavy general of the Imperial Guards from the Zhongshan Kingdom. What did they think?
Zhang Xiangying went directly to the small hall of his inner hall. He knew that as soon as Liu Pei entered the mansion, he would definitely enter the inner courtyard directly. What is the relationship between the two families?
Sure enough, when he arrived at the small hall, he heard his wife crying before he even entered the courtyard.
"Brother-in-law!" Liu Pei saw Zhang Yingying coming and hurriedly stood up and saluted. He didn't seem to have suffered much. Although his spirit was a little atrophied, Zhang Yingying only thought that he was captured and was very depressed.
Because of mourning.
"How did the Han army let you back? My eyelids are twitching, I always feel like something is wrong!"
"Brother-in-law Ming Ming. It's really not good. Zhu Biao led the Han army to capture Jianyang. The 40,000 heavenly soldiers who defended the city were either killed or captured, and less than one out of ten escaped..." Liu Pei had a feeling.
He felt as if he was dead. Under Zhu Biao's presence, he felt that he was too incompetent.
"What?" Zhang Xiangxiang jumped up in response. Man, there is still the steady and steady attitude of a provincial governor. His face looks more like a dyeing workshop, with black, white, and green appearing in turn.
"Forty thousand heavenly soldiers guarding the city?"
"yes!"
"How many men and horses does he wish Biao to capture Jianyang City where 40,000 heavenly soldiers are stationed? How long will it take?" His eyes widened, and Zhang Yingxing's beard and hair stood on end!
Liu Pei's news was like a heavy hammer hitting his Tianling Cap. He was stunned, dizzy, stupid, and then angry. Zhang Xingying didn't believe this was true, and he couldn't find anything to express other than being angry.
Let me vent my emotions at the moment.
In fact, Liu Pei was not much better than Zhang Yingxiang. Every time he faced this fact, his whole body felt trembling and convulsing. He replied in a gibbering voice, "Seven thousand, Zhu Biao only used seven thousand people."
.Seven thousand people attacked the city garrisoned by 40,000 people head-on, and captured the entire Jianyang City in half a day..."
The voice had a fluttering feel to it, and Liu Pei's eyes were blank at this moment.
When Zhu Biao rushed to Jianyang with all his troops wearing sackcloth and mourning, Liu Pei brought them with him as a sacrificial offering. Zhu Biao initially prepared to sacrifice the flag under his city, but in the end Liu Pei had good luck and survived.
But after witnessing the entire battle in which seven thousand white robes defeated Jianyang, his spirit finally collapsed!
The Zhongshan Army had already surrendered to Zhu Biao, and Liu Pei pinned his hopes on the Zhou Army. However, the humiliation of Jianyang's defeat was even worse than that of the Zhongshan Army in the Battle of Xiyang.
The hope in Liu Pei's heart was also shattered! If he were also digitized, many small items such as will, courage, self-confidence, momentum, perseverance, etc. would plummet from a certain level to thirty or even twenty or below ten at this moment.
.
"The power of the white robe is the strongest in the world. This is the battle of Jianyang, which I have witnessed with my own eyes. The Han army's drums shook the sky, and the battle momentum was irresistible. The soldiers and generals were excited and excited a hundred times. They were determined and determined to fight to the death.
Crossing the city and climbing the ladder, he was as fast as flying. Even though the bows and crossbows were fired at the top of the city and the arrows rained down, they could not stop him even half a step..."
Liu Pei told Zhang Yingying about the "Burning Man" during the first attack on the city. Zhang Yingying's expression changed with horror, and his face was ashen. Zhang Liu was horrified and her whole body was trembling. For a daughter of a wealthy family like her,
How had I ever heard of such heroic and heroic things?
"Brother-in-law! I came here specifically to warn you on the orders of General Zhu Biao. General Zhu Biao will give you a day to think about it. If the day after tomorrow, my brother-in-law has not opened the city and abandoned his weapons and surrendered, then the army will attack the city and they will be destroyed!"
After saying these words, Liu Pei felt relaxed all over. "From now on, for the rest of my life, I will never think about the military revolution again. Sister, arrange a place for me, and I want to have a good sleep!"
After the war, no matter what Xi Yang would do with him, whether he resigned or was imprisoned, Liu Pei didn't think about it. After the Battle of Jianyang, his will was completely worn out, and he no longer had the thought of leading an army and fighting on the battlefield again.
Already.
Jianyang City.
It was already dark, but the county government hall in the city was brightly lit. In the afternoon, the Han army took complete control of the entire city and eliminated all the Zhou soldiers who resisted.
Beheading 20,000 people and capturing 16,000 enemies! It seems that the killing was a bit excessive.
So much so that when it got dark, Zhu Biao felt that his blood was boiling in his heart and could not calm down.
The county governor's mansion was burned down, and the county government office became Zhu Biao's place of residence.
More than 200 soldiers controlled the county government from front to back. Each and every one of them was still in uniform and full of blood.
A hundred or so people from Jianyang County City were gathered together. Zhu Biao sat at the top and listened boredly to their flattery and flattery.
"Tap!" Zhu Biao finally finished reading the records on the desk that recorded the information of each household. The county magistrate's office was burned down, and the information archived by the county government was far less detailed than that of the county magistrate's office, but not all people were still alive.
Yes.
After taking down the petty officials from the yamen and the low-ranking servants from the six gates, all the rich and powerful families in the city were soon found out.
"I won't tell you nonsense. I'll prepare eight hundred carriages and five hundred thousand taels of silver. We'll settle the matter immediately, and then we'll all go our separate ways. I can also ensure that there will be no Han soldiers going back and forth in the future.
I'll cause trouble for you again, as long as you don't seek your own death!
how?"
Zhu Biao from a county town paid 500,000 taels of silver. The asking price was not high, but it was enough to make the following people feel pain for a while. Because on average, the price for a family was almost 5,000 taels. And five thousand taels of silver, it seems
It was a small amount of money, but when the Zhu family was still in Qing County, the whole family's balance for the year was not that much!
Everyone was silent. There was silence in the lobby, and only the popping sound of candles could be heard. Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you. The powerful merchants all made up their mind not to be the first person.
"Why? Don't want to?"
Zhu Biao's knife-like eyes swept over everyone in the hall. Some of the hundreds of people lowered their heads, some averted their eyes, and of course some were rebellious.
Because the war between the Northern Han Dynasty and the Zhongshan Kingdom, although it has progressed to this point, has not yet truly entered a life-and-death national war. As for the people on the other side, this forbidden line will not be touched without fear of killing. Therefore,
, Zhu Biao would not care if some people with stubborn personalities showed their unruliness.
"You ungrateful villain. If you, the Zhongshan Kingdom, had not been blocked by my great Han Dynasty, why would you not have heard the sound of swordsmanship for five hundred years? But now, the fierce fighting in the north of our Han Dynasty has not ended, but you and other monarchs have betrayed their trust, tore up the alliance, and attached themselves to the Tang Dynasty.
King, you are adding insult to injury, relying on the enemy to support you, trying to take advantage of the situation, how despicable is your heart?
Now that the city has been destroyed and all the troops from the county and Tang Dynasty have been wiped out, you have thought of giving money and materials to reward the soldiers of the King of Tang. Now I am calling you to atone for your sins. What else can you say?
Your sins, Zuo's sins, are unforgivable and cannot beg for mercy! Cars, horses, and money will all be paid!"
"General Zhu, what you said is wrong. I, Cheng Hansheng, am just a commoner in the market. My family has a small income and I don't have to worry about food and drink. I only know how to have fun after playing with fists, feet and sticks. It's just that.
Recently, thieves and soldiers have been rampant. The prefect has gathered people to organize the army and protect the village. Shouldn't we wait for the food to go out?
National affairs are the business of the nobles in the temple. We ordinary people don't understand the concept of backing and covenants. General Zhu asked us to take out 800 chariots and horses and 500,000 taels of silver. As soon as he opened his mouth, he sternly reprimanded us for being ungrateful.
, the crime is unforgivable, but I don’t know who is the thief!”
Cheng Hansheng was not impressed by Zhu Biao's request for money and couldn't help but angrily said.
"Haha!" Zhu Biao laughed angrily. When he glanced at it, he was the most arrogant among the unruly people in the hall. Now he dared to be arrogant and contradict him. He really thought that he did not dare to kill anyone.
What!?
He was so angry that he ordered him to be pushed down and beheaded to show off to the wealthy people in Jianyang City. He felt someone pulling his clothes from behind, and when he turned around, he saw that it was Feng Enjiang.
"General!" Feng Enjiang didn't say much, but pointed at the cloth on the table.
"Cheng Hansheng! Are you still a Han? The 47th generation lay disciple of Wenshu Monastery, a disciple of Master Xuyun!" Zhu Biao suddenly realized, no wonder he dared to be so unruly, it turned out that he had a basis. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, novels are better and updated faster!)
