Chapter 454 The Zhu family's rebellion is uncertain for a month, and the great coward Hui Luhuang (second update)
After capturing Wujiang County, Commander Li rested there for the night.
As he was about to set out early the next morning, he received an order from Gao Xuanfu, asking him to immediately mobilize his troops and turn eastward to prevent Zhu Meng, who had fled from Suzhou City, from escaping to Xiuzhou.
It was not until that time that Commander Li learned that Suzhou City had been recovered by Gao Zhang's army.
This made Liu Qi, who had just established Lichen and was so proud that he wanted to rush back to Suzhou to join the main army and make new achievements, that his liver hurt.
I didn't expect Zhu Meng to be so inexperienced. He couldn't even defend Suzhou City for a day and a night.
Commander Li carefully looked at the leg order for a long time, and then sighed helplessly, originally thinking that it would be a great achievement.
It turns out that I haven't even met the prodigy number one scholar Gao Zhang, and the Zhu family and his son have already reached the end of their careers.
How about Bu Sheng? There is a good chance. Let's see if Zhu Meng, the leader of the rebellion, can be caught.

In Hangzhou, waiting for soldiers from various states and villages to gather towards Hangzhou, Tan Zhen was busy for a whole month, making careful preparations for a long-term war.
He had just received the commander of Shezhou's military and horse capital who had just arrived, dragging his exhausted body back to the mansion, and was about to have something to eat and drink, and have a good sleep.
A military report from Suzhou has been delivered to Zhongguan Tan's legs.
The messenger who delivered the letter was full of excitement and was the first to reveal the mystery.
"Congratulations to Tan Xuanfu, the great Wu of the Red Thieves is gone."
"No more?" Tan Zhen stared blankly at the unopened military report for a long time before he raised his head.
"Suzhou has already brought the east?"
"Back to Zhongguan, not only has the city of Suzhou been recovered, but more than 200 of the Zhu family's people in the east have been captured. As of dawn, there are more than a dozen bandit leaders including Zhu Meng who are leading their troops to flee eastward."
Tan Zhen stood up, looked at the messenger in front of him with disbelief, and hurriedly opened the military newspaper.
The appearance inside is indeed exactly the same as what the messenger said, there is no big difference.
He also asked about the situation of Li Miao, who was marching northward, and then found out that Commander Li had already cooperated with Li Qi who came to the east to seize Wujiang County and was ordered to search the east for the remnants of Zhu's rebels.
After the messenger retreated to the East, Tan Zhen, who had been tired for a day, was now in a state of confusion and started walking back and forth outside the house.
I never thought that it would be a long-lasting counterinsurgency battle.
But it turns out that that's how long it has been, and that it's just how long the weather has just begun.
The rebellion of Zhu's father and son, which was turbulent in the south of the Yangtze River, was so defeated? The whole city of Suzhou was destroyed.
As for his deputy envoy of Xuanfu, he did not get much credit except staying in Hangzhou to work on logistics.
When I thought about all the good stuff being eaten up by Gao Zhang, the prodigy champion, I could just drink some shabu-shabu water.
Tan Zhen felt very embarrassed. If he had known this, he should have rushed to Changzhou to join Gao Zhang as soon as possible.
Instead of worrying that Gao Zhang would become the target of the Zhu family's rebels, he wanted to gather troops from Jiangnan states and stay in Hangzhou to wait for the opportunity.
It turned out that it was a shame that all the soldiers and horses were gathered together, and the drama was almost coming to an end.
"Come here, prepare a car for our family, no, prepare a horse for our family."
"It's so late, where can you go, old man?"
"It's hard to go anywhere. Of course I want to go to Suzhou. If we don't go there, I'm afraid we won't even be able to drink soup."
As Tan Zhen shouted angrily, chaos broke out outside the Jinming Bureau in Hangzhou...

Something happened in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Zhu family and his son rebelled, which shocked the Song Dynasty in the east. After the news spread, the price of food in the Central Plains began to rise.
All of a sudden, various gossips were flying all over the sky. At one moment, it was said that the Zhu family and his son had occupied the entire Liangzhe Road. At another time, it was said that the Zhu family and his son had defeated the imperial army and were seeking to advance into Tokyo.
All in all, all kinds of messy gossips are rampant in Bianliang, Tokyo.
In the past, Zhao Ji, an official, was absent from the government at intervals, but during those confinement periods, he almost never arrived late or left early.
After all, Jiangnan was not only a heavily taxed area in the Song Dynasty, but also a major grain producing area.
It can be said that if the food from Jiangnan is not transported to the Central Plains, then a slight turmoil in the Central Plains will definitely cause great turmoil.
At this moment, the official Zhao Ji was standing in the Chui Gong Hall. On the floor was a huge map, which was also called a map.
Several officials from the Ministry of War and the Privy Council, including Tong Guan, Cai Jing, and Gao Qiu, were all standing here, and everyone looked so solemn.
As for the official Zhao Ji, his gaze moved northward and soon landed in the direction of the northwest frontier army.
Now, as of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial edict to the east has been carried out, and the Qin and Jin regions have been transferred to Tibet. One hundred thousand soldiers and horses of the Han Dynasty are on their way to Tokyo.
In addition, soldiers and horses from Zhejiang and Jiangnan East Road are also gathering towards Hangzhou.
The news received three days ago did not reveal that Gao Zhang, the imperial emissary, had already issued a letter of war to Zhu Mengdong after the three thousand imperial cavalry commanded by Liu Fa arrived in Changzhou, intending to lure Zhu Meng to go to war.
Can you tell me, I have been following the group chat for three days, but I have not received any follow-up news.
This made Zhao Ji, an official, frown and worried. The two places were too far apart.
Official Zhao Ji wanted to call Xiao Gao to him and scold him severely.
Did you send those three thousand cavalry here to protect my safety? It turns out that I am a little too courageous, right?
Do you actually think that with the help of the various state and county soldiers and the three thousand cavalry under my legs, I can defeat Zhu Meng who has already gathered tens of thousands of people?
What's the matter? You can't restrain me as a teacher. I'm too arrogant.

"Guan Jia, in two months, the soldiers and horses from Jin will reach Bianliang, Tokyo.
However, if Qin’s soldiers and horses are not affected by floods and the roads are submerged, it may be very late in July or August before we can reach the outskirts of Tokyo..."
"Flood..." Official Zhao Ji's eyes began to move and fell on the Guanzhong area, and his face became increasingly gloomy.
That's not all the bad news.
During that time, prices in Tokyo were skyrocketing, especially food prices, which were literally rising every day.
Since Ming received the news of the rebellion of Zhu and his son, the price has already risen by as much as 50%.
Zhao Ji, an official who was in a state of confusion and felt unhappy everywhere, couldn't help but look up to the sky and let out a long sigh.
"The Zhu family's rebellion lasted for a month, and the great coward Hui Hui ruined and betrayed his talents."
Hearing the official Zhao Ji's lament, all the important ministers quickly pushed down the mountains of gold and jade pillars and fell to the ground, expressing their helplessness, which made the officials so worried.
"Alright, ladies and gentlemen, Yang Jian, do you have any news from the Imperial City Division? Logically speaking, the Imperial City Division should report it in March..."
At this moment, a horse riding with billowing smoke and dust is galloping towards the Nanxun Gate in Bianliang, Tokyo...
