Early in the morning, Liu Ze had finished washing up in the Hejian Mansion and was serving breakfast. A confidant hurriedly came in and whispered in his ear, and his expression turned murderous again: "It's that stinky old nine again. Do you really think I don't dare?"
Kill him?"
Last night, Lao Jiu led the Black Wolf Battalion to confront his men. He already had murderous intentions. He was afraid of the big boss behind him but did not dare to make a move. He was also afraid that the little eunuch would catch him, so he asked his men to restrain themselves, at least not to do anything.
Such an obvious nuisance to the public.
Lao Jiu escaped from death without taking a breath, and the anger in his heart arose again. Previously, all the people in the city participated in the battle with numerous casualties and casualties, but Liu Zeqing's troops entered the city and took control, then ignored the aftermath and left him to fend for himself.
Went out.
Although he was furious, he had nothing to do. He could not control Liu Zeqing, and he could not win over him, so he had to lead his troops and a rescue team organized by the people in the city to start saving lives and healing the wounded and clearing the ruins.
It was not until late at night that the soldiers of Heilang Camp, who were already exhausted, suddenly found that they didn't even have a place to rest. It turned out that Liu Zeqing's men had occupied all the military camps and other places where they could stay in the city.
Forget it, he had many soldiers, many generals, many people and horses. Finally, a squire with a big family provided an abandoned manor for the Black Wolf Camp to rest. He called on the people to donate some rations. This moved Lao Jiu very much.
Thanks again and again.
The squire sighed and said that Liu Zeqing had summoned the wealthy households in the city to force them to pay protection fees. Lao Jiu was immediately angry again. Donating and making peace was completely different, so he immediately went to Liu Zeqing and said.
But he was stopped by the squires: "You have to give whatever you want, no matter how much you have to give. Why bother to make the person angry and cause the whole city to suffer?" Lao Jiu secretly made a decision and decided to sue Liu Thief when he met the governor one day.
I don't believe that the little governor can't cure him.
Unexpectedly, before he could file a complaint, someone sent an order early in the morning, saying that Liu Zeqing asked him to lead his troops out of the city for investigation, targeting Suning County in the west, Gaoyang County in the northwest, etc...
Lao Jiu was furious. No matter heading to the west or northwest, it was the place where the main force of the bandit army was sleeping. It was extremely dangerous. Liu Zeqing allowed him to die without going there, so he scolded the messenger and asked him to tell Liu Zeqing: First, they are not scouts. Second, they are not scouts.
Second, they were subordinate to Dongchang and only obeyed the orders of the emperor and the young eunuchs. At this time, they were ordered to guard the city in Hejian. Wang Jiayan, the governor of the capital camp, was not going anywhere. The Minister of War, Shi Kefa, was not qualified to order them.
The implication is that you, Liu Ze, are going to clear things up
When Liu Zeqing heard this, he was so angry that he wanted to kill him immediately. However, he also knew that as long as he made a move, he had to cut the grass and roots. In addition, he also needed a perfect excuse, otherwise Chang Yu could skin him alive.
But where could he find an excuse for a while? Liu Zeqing gritted his teeth and overturned the table, and the plates and bowls were shattered on the floor. Seeing this, his subordinates started shouting to bring Lao Jiu's head to see him, but he angrily said: "Don't hurt me!"
"General, let him live for a while. If there is no shortage of wars in the future, we can always find an opportunity to get rid of him. Let him die in the chaos without a trace. What can the little eunuch do if he can't get the evidence?" General Han Zongshan offered his advice in a low voice.
, Liu Zeqing’s anger subsided.
Although he is a villain who must retaliate, he also knows that it is not appropriate to be impulsive at this time, and there is still a war to deal with, so the murders are put on hold for the time being. Although Hejian Fucheng is under attack, there are many thieves and bandits gathered in the surrounding small towns, so a large army should be sent to eliminate them one by one. However,
He ordered his subordinates to act according to the opportunity, retreat quickly if they encounter thieves, and not to go deep blindly.
While Liu Zeqing and others were plotting how to get rid of Lao Jiu, Chang Yu had already appeared on the border of Ningjin County. Yesterday, he ordered Gao Jie and Huang Degong to advance westward. Each of them led 5,000 cavalry to sweep across the two counties and regain nearly a hundred miles.
To the west of Ningjin is to the northwest of Gaoyi County, and to the northwest is Zhaozhou, which is already the area hardest hit by the bandit army. Huang Degong and Gao Jie did not dare to approach lightly, so they stationed troops in the territory to await orders. Chang Yu then sent out troops from the city of Jizhou to support overnight, leaving only
The sick, injured, old and weak defend the city.
At midnight, he led two battalions of troops under his command, and the latter arrived first, arriving at Ningjin County at dawn.
Huang Degong's troops were stationed in the city, and Gao Jie was stationed and camped on the bank of the Mi River a few miles outside the city. When they heard of Chang Yu's arrival, they hurried to the county government office in the city to meet them.
"There are ten houses in the city and nine are empty. This is the hardest-hit area where thieves have overrun. Most of the people have been driven away by them. There are very few left behind. It is almost an abandoned city..." Huang Degong looked solemn. Yesterday, when the soldiers arrived, there were hundreds of refugees.
There were at least seven or eight groups gathered inside the territory. After the warning, many dispersed, but most of them fled to the west.
Gao Jie raised his eyebrows and continued: "The general's scouts reported that there are countless refugees and thieves thirty miles to the west. The thieves are entrenched in the main roads of villages and towns and stretch endlessly to the north. If we rush westward, we will be killed.
Sleepy..." He sighed and shook his head slightly.
Even Huang Degong, who has always been at odds with each other, agrees with this. The bandits are hiding countless refugees everywhere. How should you respond if you advance?
Drive away, disperse and gather again.
Killing, there are so many people cannot kill them all, and killing civilians will undoubtedly assist the rebel army, making the common people even more determined to be cannon fodder for Li Zicheng.
But if they are not killed, they will be used by thieves and can stab the officers and soldiers at any time to help the thieves commit evil. What should we do?
Ci does not control soldiers. Chang Yu has always been ruthless and ruthless, and must resort to extreme measures in emergency situations. As for the merits and demerits, future generations will comment. At this time, he could not care about the pressure of public opinion. He just wanted to suppress the bandits and bring order to the chaos, so he said to the two of them: "
Kill anyone who blocks the road, no matter the thieves or the people."
What if the factory supervisor went on a killing spree? Huang Degong smiled bitterly, while Gao Jie looked numb.
"When the army is advancing, make the announcement widely: Those who follow the thieves will be killed, those who are attached to the thieves will be killed, and those who gather together without breaking up will be killed!" Chang Yu's tone was cold, he stood up and looked outside the courtyard: "We in Dongchang have always been decisive in killing, kill one
What's the difference between killing a thousand or even ten thousand? If you can defeat a thief, you can kill a hundred thousand without blinking an eye, and even the governor will bear the infamy throughout the ages!"
Huang Degong and Gao Jie couldn't help but shudder, murderous maniac, butcher!
As soon as the three-kill order of the big boss of Dongchang came out, Huang Degong and Gao Jie's troops sharpened their swords and prepared for a killing spree. Chang Yu ordered the two to rest for a day. After the follow-up main force arrived, Gao Jie's troops set out to the west to capture Gaoyi.
, Huang Degong took Zhaozhou in the northwest.
This day's rest does not mean eating, sleeping and doing nothing. In addition to sending troops to disperse the gathered refugees and widely informing them of the consequences of sticking with the thieves, a large number of scouts were sent into Gaoyi and Zhaozhou. At the same time, they also had to guard against the incoming thieves. After all,
This place is close to the main force of the bandit army, and the officers and soldiers have been advancing for 200 miles continuously. It is difficult to guarantee that Li Zicheng will not send people to take the initiative to snipe.
After a series of arrangements, Huang Degong and Gao Jie wanted to have dinner and discuss matters in the ordinary world at noon, but found that the young eunuch was missing. Only Tu Yuan and the Black Tiger Camp were left wandering outside the city. After questioning, they learned that Chang Yu had gone to Chang Yu in disguise.
Zhaozhou.
The two of them were horrified. Zhaozhou was an area hit hard by thieves, with many thieves and refugees. At this time, it was also a place where spies and spies were concentrated. It was too dangerous for the young eunuch to go there.
Unexpectedly, Tu Yuan rolled his eyes, "Dangerous". In Taiyuan, the young governor only stayed with him for a few nights before he found the intruder's camp and even killed the young intruder king Li Laiheng. Zhaozhou was considered extremely dangerous, let alone him.
At this time, there are so many experts around him, and Gong Ziying is supporting him from the outside, who can do anything to him.
Huang and Gao breathed a sigh of relief, but they still couldn't help complaining about the nature of children. How can they be so playful? Don't you understand that a gentleman doesn't stand behind a dangerous wall? If something happens to you, there are several people around Baoding Mansion.
