Chapter 1241 Zhang Zhaoliang stirs the water under pressure, and Muchuan understands that he will enter Youzhou City for the second time
Chapter 1241: Zhang Zhaoliang muddies the waters under pressure, Muchuan understands and enters Youzhou City
Zhang Zhaoliang is a smart man and knows that in this situation, there is no explanation at all, because he did it completely following the order of the prefect Fu Liqing.
When the situation was unclear, he did not dare to push his superiors to take the lead.
Therefore, we can only remain silent!
"Since you don't speak, it proves that our guess is correct.
You are indeed a spy of the Hu people!"
Xue Dingshan said angrily.
Then, Xue Dingshan pulled out his saber and shouted: "All officers and men listen to the order and immediately kill Zhang Zhaoliang for the governor! Anyone who violates this rule will be executed!"
"promise!"
All the soldiers agreed in unison.
Zhang Zhaoliang heard the shouts of these soldiers and cursed in his heart: "You bastard, you actually dare to order the killing of this governor."
However, Zhang Zhaoliang still forced himself to calm down.
He knew that the most important thing now was to stabilize the cavalry in front of him and then find a way to escape.
"Captain Zhang, I think you are a fierce general and I cannot bear to kill you.
Those who have sense should surrender immediately!"
Xue Dingshan said.
At this time, Muchuan came over on horseback.
"Captain Zhang!"
Muchuan walked over and said calmly: "Captain Zhang, you are a Han Chinese, why are you willing to be Hugo's hawk?
You are trying to put tens of thousands of people in Youzhou into dire straits!"
"It turns out to be Master Mu. I have no intention of treason!"
Zhang Zhaoliang said hurriedly: "I just followed the order of the prefect and led my troops to station here."
Zhang Zhaoliang has no way to hide it anymore.
After all, Muchuan in front of him is about to become his superior.
Yes, if you hide it yourself, you will definitely not be able to do it.
"Oh, is that so?"
Muchuan asked.
"General Mu, I don't dare to deceive General Mu.
I am really stationed here under the orders of the prefect.
As for the rest, I really don’t know about it!”
Zhang Zhaoliang said with a sad face.
Muchuan frowned.
"Okay, please step back first.
We will investigate."
Muchuan waved his hand and said.
After hearing this, Zhang Zhaoliang felt as if he had received divine grace and said quickly: "Yes, I will obey your order."
After saying that, Zhang Zhaoliang turned and left.
After Zhang Zhaoliang left, Xue Dingshan looked at Muchuan and said: "General Muchuan, do you think this matter is false?
I know that Governor Zhang is the old Governor of Youzhou, so he would not betray His Majesty and take refuge with the barbarians, right?"
"It is of course a lie to seek refuge with the Hu people, but the fact is already before our eyes.
You said they could sneak attack us, but why would they give up so easily? It's not General Zhaoliang's problem, it's also that Governor Fu's problem."
Muchuan said calmly.
Xue Dingshan frowned and said, "What should we do?"
"I estimate that the barbarians came well prepared this time, and I am afraid they want to take advantage of this opportunity to destroy us in one fell swoop.
We must be ready to fight!"
Muchuan said.
"Sir, what's our next step?"
Xue Dingshan asked.
"Lead the troops into the city! Let's do business first and go to our posts first!"
Muchuan said firmly.
"OK, all right!"
Xue Dingshan nodded and then said.
Xue Dingshan immediately led his troops and rushed towards Youzhou City.
On the way, Xue Dingshan sent someone to inform Liu Yu and asked him to send troops for reinforcements.
At the same time, Muchuan led his troops and rushed towards Youzhou City quickly.
Youzhou City, on the city tower.
At this time, the city tower was filled with soldiers.
Thousands of people also gathered at the city gate.
These soldiers are responsible for defense.
Muchuan led thousands of cavalry vanguard troops and galloped towards Youzhou City.
Soon, the cavalry rushed to the gate of Youzhou City.
On the wall outside Youzhou City, a group of archers stood there to prevent enemies from breaking through the defenses and rushing into the city at any time.
Seeing the menacing cavalry in the distance, the archers immediately bent their bows and aimed their arrows at the cavalry.
However, the cavalry did not shoot arrows, but stayed where they were.
"Whose army is coming?
a school captain asked.
"Mu Chuan from Chang'an City! Following His Majesty's orders, he came to take over Youzhou City and serve as the Protectorate of Andong!"
Muchuan shouted loudly.
"What?"
The captain was stunned.
"Why, do I still need to report to Your Majesty?"
Muchuan asked.
"General Muchuan, please wait for a moment and come back as soon as you can."
The captain said.
After the captain finished speaking, he quickly ran towards the city lord's mansion.
The lieutenant arrived at the city lord's palace, found Fu Liqing directly, and reported: "To report to the prefect, General Muchuan is here with his troops."
"What?
Are they coming?"
Fu Liqing was startled, and then said: "What's going on?
Did my assassination and interception plan fail?"
The captain shook his head and said: "No, I just went to see it, but it was a little strange. General Muchuan only brought a few thousand cavalry. Moreover, they all wore leather armor and did not have much armor.
In addition, they also have a strange big iron car, I don’t know what it is for.”
"What does he want to do?"
Fu Liqing was puzzled.
The captain shook his head and said he didn't know.
"This Muchuan is really not easy! It was actually able to defeat the troops that I secretly brought in from the Turks and attack directly here.
However, since you have arrived at our door, don’t even think about leaving alive! Send the order, open the city gate, and let our Grand Governor Muchuan enter the city!"
Fu Liqing ordered.
Fu Liqing is the prefect, in charge of the military and political affairs of the entire Youzhou, and has hundreds of thousands of troops under his command.
Although Youzhou City was still relatively backward at this time, there were still hundreds of thousands of people.
Under Fu Liqing's order, the north gate of Youzhou City slowly opened, and a giant carriage drove into the city.
Muchuan sat on the carriage and quietly observed the surrounding situation.
Youzhou City is indeed an important town outside the Great Wall. The streets in the city are spacious and flat, and the buildings are very beautiful.
As soon as he entered the city, Muchuan found that the atmosphere in Youzhou City was rather strange.
There were very few pedestrians on the street, and all of them had their heads lowered, looking worried.
"How is this going?
Did you come too late?
Muchuan's heart was full of doubts.
No matter what, just make peace with it as it comes.
Muchuan thought secretly in his heart.
This is his second time coming to Youzhou.
And this time it felt even more desolate and weird than the last time.
Fan Lihua looked around on her tall horse and said, "What's going on here?
strange."
Xue Dingshan smiled and said: "Humph, there is a ghost."
Muchuan nodded affirmatively.
These natives of Youzhou are loyal to the imperial court and can endure hardships and stand hard work.
"Let's go to the city lord's mansion and see what Prefect Fu has to say."
Muchuan ordered.
Everyone followed Muchuan towards the city lord's mansion.
Muchuan continued to walk towards the City Lord's Mansion.
When they arrived at the city lord's mansion, a chubby middle-aged man greeted him with a smile.
Standing beside and behind him were all the officials from the entire Youzhou.
"General Muchuan, welcome back to Youzhou again. Prefect Fu Liqing has been waiting for you for a long time!"
