Huaiyu looks at Yongzhou City in the south of the Yangtze River,
The location of this city is good, with Yongjiang River in the north and Bachijiang River (Yongxi River) in the west. It forms a sharp angle in this area, surrounded by water on both sides. There are many depressions in the rest of the place. There are three mountains running from north to south, Jinzhen Ridge.
,Yinzhen Ridge and Loutailing,
The relative height of the mountain is only 180 meters.
On the west side of Jin, Yinzhen Ridge and Loutai Ridge, there is a long and narrow foothill running from north to south, which is locally called Sow Trough. Several ridges on the west side of the foothill are like city walls, guarding the narrow strip of Sow Trough.
The state capital was built here.
This is a very natural and good location for fortification,
"I chose to build the city here because of its geographical location." Ning Chun was very familiar with Yongzhou and told Wu Huaiyu in front of him,
He pointed to the south,
"There is a gap between Yinzhen Ridge and Loutai Ridge. According to the situation, the east gate of Yongzhou was built here. There is also a gap on the south side of Gonghe Ridge. The west gate is connected to the unnamed gap to the south.
From here to the west is Manmilu, which is close to the Yong River, which is a deep ditch for boat people's barges."
"The gap between Yinzhen Ridge and Gonghe Ridge is the north gate of Yongzhou."
The entire foothills of Sow Cao Mountain are low in the north and high in the south. They are about a mile long and only about a hundred paces wide at their widest point. As a state and county seat, this area is completely enough to accommodate the population, and it has strong advantages in military defense.
.
The Yongjiang River encircles a large U-shaped bay in the north of Yongzhou City, protruding a very narrow peninsula. The Yongfu Jianwu Army, one of the six towns in Lingnan, also built military forts and farmed on the peninsula.
There is also a gap in the north of the sow trough, and it is only about 50 meters away from the dock on the south bank of the Yong River.
"We often encounter floods from the Yongjiang River and Yongxi River here, but the sow trough is located on a higher ground and is not affected by floods."
The surrounding low-lying areas are flooded every year.
"Prime Minister, the Governor-General has arrived."
Wu Huaiyu nodded,
The pro-army soldiers "supported" Hou Junji and came to him.
The two had not seen each other for more than a year. Although Huaiyu had been touring Lingnan Province for more than a year, this was the first time they met. Hou Junji looked at Wu Huaiyu with an unkind look in his eyes.
Huaiyu also had a cold face.
Neither of them took the initiative to say hello, and the atmosphere became a little tense.
After all the other officers and generals from Yongzhou Prefecture came over, Huaiyu still didn't speak.
a long time.
"Hou Junji, do you know your guilt?"
"What's so-and-so's crime?"
With this question and answer, the atmosphere became more tense,
With a cold face, Wu Huaiyu took out a folded book and handed it to Ning Chun.
"Please Ning Gong, please read out Hou Junji's crime on your behalf."
Ning Chun took the folded book and opened it, reading it out in front of everyone. There were many crimes listed, such as provoking provocations, killing good people and taking credit for their merits, looting tribes, plundering property, etc.
There are even records of Hou Junji robbing the wives and daughters of tribal chiefs.
Hou Junji's eyes turned red and he stared at Wu Huaiyu.
"Hou Junji, the saint worshiped you as the governor of Yongzhou and asked you to oversee the military of more than ten states. The purpose is to protect the emperor's herdsmen and guard the territory and the people. It is not to ask you to act recklessly."
"If you want to impose a crime, why bother?" Hou Junji shouted loudly.
The charges listed by Wu Huaiyu are all real. If we really want to judge the law impartially, it would be serious. Hou Junji refused to admit it.
"The truth has been found out one by one, so what can you do with your quibbles?"
"Come here, capture Hou Junji,"
Wu Huaiyu stood up and directly announced the disposition of Hou Junji in front of a group of frightened Yongzhou officials.
With the privilege of conferring title granted to him by the Holy Emperor, coupled with his double banners and double festivals, he directly captured Hou Junji, dismissed him from the post of governor of Yongzhou, and ordered Baiqi to escort him immediately back to Chang'an to listen to the Emperor Hou's announcement.
.
"Ning Chun inspected the school, the governor of Yongzhou, and the governor."
"Xi Jun bought and inspected the school and built the military envoy."
"Hou San inspected Xuanhua to command the army, Chen Xing inspected Wu Qin to command the army, and Zhao Xin inspected Jianwu Army Zuozhen..."
Several major officials in the Yongzhou Dudu Mansion were dismissed or transferred by Wu Huaiyu.
However, it does not affect the middle and lower classes.
Then he announced the cessation of the original military operations, ordered the native groups in Yongzhou to disband and return to farming, and gave them a reward.
The Jianwu Army and Fu soldiers in Yongzhou were also given a reward.
Hou Junji was not convinced.
He even wanted to attack Wu Huaiyu angrily, but it was in vain. He didn't want dignity, so he had no choice but to lose dignity. He was knocked down by Wu Huaiyu's soldiers and then tied up.
The other officers and generals of the Yong Mansion were unprepared and did not dare to resist Wu Huaiyu's treatment. What's more, there were seven thousand sharp soldiers on the dock.
Even former prime ministers like Hou Junji and confidants of the emperor would take it as soon as they said it would be taken. Who else would dare to resist the order?
later,
Wu Huaiyu then sent his troops to garrison Yongzhou City and the military fortress in Jiangbei.
Soon, Yongzhou was taken over, and Wu Huaiyu and Ning Chun entered the city.
Ning Chun entered the governor's house and inspected the governor and governor. He summoned civil servants at all levels.
Wu Huaiyu convened military attaches to talk at the Jianwu Army and the Two Unification Military Offices, which he could not control, and quickly made adjustments to the military attachés in charge of regiment training, such as the First Army, the Two Prefectures, and the Sima County Lieutenant of the prefecture.
Hou Junji has been in Yong Mansion for more than a year, but the foundation has not yet been built.
Wu Huaiyu took action so suddenly and basically encountered no major obstacles.
After Hou Junji was captured, he was directly put on a boat, sailed down the river, went straight to Guangzhou, and then escorted back to Chang'an, leaving no room for him.
"There are 1,500 miles of waterway from Yongzhou to Guangzhou. If you are not careful, it is easy for the ship to capsize in the wind and waves, or it may leak and sink."
"Need not."
at night,
Huaiyu was drinking tea in Yongzhou City. Xi Junmai, the newly inspected Jianwu military envoy, was talking to Huaiyu. This fierce man who had drunkenly fought with pandas in the Wu family's leopard room was Liang Jianfang all the way.
His deputy leads Huaiyu's personal army.
Having followed Huaiyu on his provincial tour for more than a year, the two became very familiar with each other. With Huaiyu's deliberate efforts to win over him, he also actively moved closer to Huaiyu.
Now Liang Jianfang was recommended by Huaiyu as the governor of Wuzhou, and he was brought to Yongzhou to recommend him as the military envoy of Jianwu. This was also a great opportunity for him.
Although the envoy of the Jianwu Army is an envoy, he holds the Jianwu Army, one of the six towns in Lingnan. In Yongzhou Prefecture, he is the absolute real power. He has 5,000 soldiers, and even the governor of Yongzhou cannot surpass him.
mobilized.
For Xi Junmai, who was originally just a school captain, this step was too important.
In order to repay the kindness he met, Xi Jun bought a rough guy who liked drinking and was a bit reckless. At this time, he also unreservedly proposed to kill Hou Junji on the way.
Just pretend that the ship capsized in a storm or something. Anyway, it is thousands of miles away from Chang'an, so such a thing cannot be found out.
"With so much evidence, Hou Junji will have to shed his skin even if he returns to Chang'an. This result is better for us. If he really died on the way, no matter how he died, even if it was perfect, everyone would be suspicious
our."
Not only would Wu Huaiyu not kill Hou Junji halfway, he also specially sent several boats and many hundreds of cavalry guards to ensure that Hou Junji was escorted to Chang'an City alive.
"Ignore Hou Junji, you have to arrest the Jianwu Army as soon as possible. Although I have sent people to appease the barbarian tribes, I have a hunch that we still have to fight a battle before they are willing to sit down and talk to us.
."
Now that Hou Junji is gone, they still have to clean up the mess, and they must clean it up quickly, otherwise, if the boss slaps them, not only Hou Junji will be beaten, but they will also be beaten.
"Don't worry, Prime Minister, I'm just a warrior. I don't know how to govern a place, but commanding and fighting is our specialty."
