The girl with blue eyes and blond hair smiled brightly at him and said politely: "Master, please have some tea."
As he spoke, his knees were pressed together, three feet away, and he respectfully bent down and gently placed a cup of hot tea in front of him.
It's midsummer, so the clothes are simple. Most of the people in Suzhou are descendants of the soldiers of the Anxi Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, the military formations and tactics, as well as the clothes and armor, all have the legacy of the Tang Dynasty. The clothes of these women are no exception.
, the blond girl wore a lake green cardigan, a half-armor jacket, and a bright yellow skirt, a large V-neck shirt, revealing a seductive crimson bust, which was as thin as possible.
Revealing the legacy of women’s clothing in the Tang Dynasty.
As she leaned over, a pair of delicate and plump jade breast mounds seemed to burst out of her shirt. The heavy and textured breasts were highlighted. A pair of breasts were plump and straight, pink, trembling, and mutton-fat.
It's like a jade ball, charming and fragrant, seducing people's soul.
The red lips are fake cherries, and the lips are half covered with suspicion. This is probably how to describe such a beauty, but... for a girl with double combed hair, who is obviously not married yet, and who doesn't know the taste of clouds and rain, such plumpness
The plump breasts seemed a bit too big, but considering that she was half European..., Yang Hao unnaturally looked away. When he raised his head, what he saw was her chiseled profile.
The facial features of the blond girl are much softer than those of pure Europeans, and her skin is not as rough or freckled as pure Europeans, but has a texture as white and soft as milk, and a few strands of golden hair hang down on her
On the bruised face, because he was so close, it seemed that he could brush away the golden hair from the girl's cheek with just one breath.
Yang Hao was embarrassed. He straightened up quickly and quietly distanced himself from her. The blue-eyed girl obviously noticed his move. She put down the tea cup and glanced at Yang Hao quickly, with a pair of crescent eyebrows.
, her eyes are playful and charming, and the corners of her eyes are slightly lifted upward, exuding a sassy and shrewd air.
This girl was none other than Long Ling'er from the Long family in Suzhou. The first of the eight beauties of the Long family that Long Hanjiang introduced to Yang Hao that day was Long Ling'er, although she was covered with a veil at the time.
, but since Yang Hao has seen those naturally charming, shrewd and intelligent eyes, he will naturally not admit them wrong.
Yang Hao frowned slightly and said, "Miss Long, haven't your Long family... already moved to Xiazhou?"
Long Ling'er said meekly: "Yes, according to the command of the commander-in-chief, the Long family has moved to Xiazhou. However... the Long family has been in Suzhou for many years, and the family's property is slightly small. They moved in a hurry, and some of the land and houses were moved away.
There was no time to sell it and dispose of it, so...my father left Er Niang to take care of it here..."
Yang Hao interrupted her angrily: "I mean... why are you here, girl, pretending to be a maid serving tea and water?"
Long Ling'er said: "Ling'er is the maidservant of the Taiwei Mansion. If you don't stay here, where will you go? What will you do if you don't do these things?"
Yang Hao couldn't help being stunned after hearing this, and lost his voice: "What? Why don't I know who made the decision to let you stay?"
Long Ling'er said: "It was sisters Ling'er who begged Lu Zhizhou for permission, so they were able to stay in the house and serve the prince."
"You sisters?" Yang Hao shouted again, "You... and the girls like Long Die'er are all staying here?"
Long Ling'er became even more obedient and responded in a low voice: "Yes!" However, a smug smile quickly flashed across his eyes: "What's wrong with a stinky man who talks bad words and pretends to be a saint who is not close to women?
You recognize someone at a glance and remember their names clearly?"
Yang Hao's brows knitted into a knot. He didn't expect that it was Lu Wuhen who took the initiative to use the eight girls of the Long family as his maids. Since it was Mr. Lu, he couldn't bear to have a few girls as his maids.
He was blamed.
Yang Hao breathed a sigh of relief and said: "How can a girl from the Long family do something like serving tea and water to serve the daily life? Miss Long, you'd better rush to Xiazhou as soon as possible. I have arranged a residence for the Long family in Xiazhou
, The Long family will definitely be protected and respected under my rule. Mr. Yang has always been consistent in his words and deeds, so you can rest assured."
Long Ling'er lowered his head and said: "The Taiwei is an upright man, how can the little girl and the whole Long family have anything to worry about? It's just that...my father didn't know the general situation at first, and tried to resist the Taiwei's heavenly soldiers, so he committed many murders for no reason.
, thanks to the Taiwei's magnanimity and not pursuing the matter, my father felt really ashamed and regretted, and wished he could not make up for it. The Taiwei was here, with his troops ruthless, how could there be no one around to take care of him? Those men were so careless and careless.
, where have they done meticulous things? Ling'er and the sisters serve the Taiwei out of their true heart. They just want to repay the Taiwei a little, and please don't turn away the Taiwei..."
Yang Hao snorted coldly: "You also know that this commander is a ruthless soldier, and he is here to lead troops in a war? There are eight problems with a general: he refuses advice, he does not follow his policies, he is both good and evil, he is self-absorbed, he is self-centered, and he believes in slander.
Greedy for money and introspective, although this girl is not a warrior, she is the daughter of a general. Do you understand the meaning of introspection?"
Long Ling'er's pretty face paled slightly, she lowered her head, stared at her toes, and muttered: "This little girl is of poor quality and mediocre appearance, and it is difficult for her to catch the attention of the Taiwei. How dare you dream of serving him on the pillow?"
Come... I just want to be a tea girl, so I'm willing to do so. The little girl really can't bear the charge of lustful temptation."
"I don't need anyone to take care of me, you sisters..."
Long Ling'er sobbed, and tears rolled down her cheeks like turning on a faucet: "Lieutenant, the little girl is the daughter of the Long family, and she was also the princess once upon a time. Speaking of it, she is considered to be of high status and high, but a disaster is coming.
We girls are sent here and there by the family, just like a piece of goods, and our dignity is ruined. Yes, being a maidservant was indeed a humiliation in the past, but now... it is a kind of dignity for our sisters.
, does the Lieutenant have the heart to drive us away?"
Yang Hao smiled bitterly and said: "Isn't it a glorious thing to serve people? It's really messy. I really have no intention of harming the Long family. There is no need for the girl to act cautious in front of me.
Come on, let's do this. I'll send someone to take you to Xiazhou later..."
"Lieutenant, you are trying to force our sisters to death!"
Long Ling'er let out a cry, knelt down in front of Yang Hao, and hugged his thigh. As soon as Long Ling'er knelt down, a wave of waves suddenly surged in her chest, which made people dizzy.
Yang Hao, who had black hair on his head, straightened up in panic, held the armrests of the chair with both hands, and yelled: "Miss Long, what are you... doing? It's so unbecoming, get up, get up, hurry up
Get up quickly..."
Long Ling'er was unwilling to let go. She hugged his thighs and let out a mournful cry. A pair of full breasts that were about to come out of her clothes were pressed tightly against Yang Hao's knees. Yang Hao was so embarrassed that he couldn't move: "Lieutenant,
Do you know that my sister likes to be sent here and there? We stayed with the Taiwei to serve us. Everyone in the Taiwei's house knew about this, and no one in the entire Suzhou City knew about it. If the Taiwei chased my sister away at this time,
If we leave, then my sisters will really become the laughing stock of Suzhou City. How can we live with dignity in this world? If the Taiwei wants to kill me, he can just cut me off with one knife. Why use such a soft knife to force us to commit suicide..."
"You...you...you, what are you talking nonsense about? Let it go. Let it go first. If you have something to say, we have something to say..."
Yang Hao was in a panic and was asking her to let go. The guard outside the door shouted: "Master Wuhenlu, Zhizhou Road, Suzhou, please see me."
As soon as Yang Hao heard that Shazhou Daru Lu Wuhen had arrived, if he saw him like this, he wouldn't be able to wash it away even if he jumped into the Yellow River, so he had to keep saying: "Get up quickly, let go quickly, what kind of appearance is this?"
, you...you...that's all, if you want to stay, just stay."
Long Ling'er suddenly raised his head, his eyes still dim with tears: "The captain agreed?"
Yang Hao smiled bitterly and said: "Promise, promise, I have agreed, please let go."
Long Ling'er stood up happily. This time, a pair of jade melons rippled on her chest. She happily pushed the teacup in front of Yang Hao and said softly: "Thank you, Lord Taiwei, for taking us in.
Please have some tea, sir."
Are those silky and slender hands what a maid should have? Yang Hao waved his hands with a wry smile: "Okay, okay, you go down first."
Long Ling'er responded obediently: "My maid, I obey."
Yang Hao secretly wiped away the cold sweat and then raised his voice and said: "I'd like to invite you, Sir."
Yang Hao knew that the Dragon King had gone to great lengths to keep these close relatives behind, not because he was afraid that he would harm him. If he had the intention to harm him, how could a few women change his mind? However, women could not stop Yang Hao from killing him.
However, it can improve the situation of the Long family. Several beauties of the Long family are waiting for Yang Hao in front of and behind him. Even if Yang Hao himself has no intention of giving preferential treatment to the Long family, is he afraid that his subordinates will not be good at figuring out what they want and cater to him?
?It’s really hard to work so hard for the Dragon King, but...it can also be seen that the Dragon King only relied on the shadow of his ancestors to become the overlord of a party, and he himself has no extraordinary abilities.
Just when Yang Hao thought of this, Lu Wuhen walked in with a hint of a smile but not a smile...
Lu Wuhen had just taken office. He was busy setting up officials and dividing duties, pacifying the army and the people, rectifying the administration, adjusting the officials and subordinates of Suzhou, and implementing various laws formulated by Yang Hao. There were many things that needed to be done at any time.
The one who communicated with Yang Hao. Every time he went to Yang Hao's study, Yang Hao hurriedly invited him in, but this time he was delayed for a moment. First, a woman with a coquettish face and a hot body walked out. Lu Wuhen was also a man, so naturally he would
Wrong thinking.
He had lived in the Western Regions for a long time. In such a difficult environment, he had to be able to preach, resolve doubts, and impart education. He was not like some of the great Confucian scholars in the Central Plains who had a rigid personality. He also had a very understanding and tolerance for the affairs of heroes.
Yang Hao knew that he was thinking wrong, but this kind of thing could not be explained, so he invited him in without mentioning the scene that had just happened. He only discussed with him the establishment of officials and the division of duties, and the implementation of official duties according to laws and regulations.
He asked Yang Hao about his attitude on the things that he was unsure about one by one. Just when he was about to stand up and leave, Yang Hao couldn't help but asked: "Master Lu, this eighth daughter of the Long family is the one you left to serve as a maid in the Jie Mansion.
What?"
Lu Wuhen smiled, stroking his beard and said: "No, no, Xiaguan has just arrived in Suzhou two days ago. How could he have thought about these things? General Zhang Pu personally sent the Eight Dragon Girl here. Xiaguan
I have just made arrangements for them. Haha, the Eight Dragon Girls are from a famous family. They are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, singing and dancing. With them waiting by your side, are you satisfied?"
"Zhang Pu?" Yang Hao smiled bitterly and said, "Not bad, uh... not bad."
After seeing Lu Wuhen off, Yang Hao didn't even return to his study, and walked towards Zhang Pu. When Yang Hao attacked Suzhou, he asked Yanyan to stay outside Ganzhou city instead of him. Zhang Pu took charge of the overall situation, and Suzhou succeeded.
Later, the news that Yang Hao had left Ganzhou could no longer be hidden.
During this period, all the Uighur troops who rushed back to Ganzhou King Qin were all sent into Ganzhou City by Zhang Pu. When almost all the reinforcements rushed back to Ganzhou, Zhang Pu suddenly dug trenches outside Ganzhou City, planted thorns, and resisted the enemy.
They used horses, built walls, and built a city outside the city. This method of attack was also used by Chai Rong, Shizong of the Later Zhou Dynasty, and it took a full year to surround the city.
With the Modao Formation and the heavy armored cavalry standing ready, the Ganzhou army, which had long been frightened by these two troops, did not dare to go out of the city to stop them. Ganzhou Khan Ye Luohe stood at the top of the city and looked at it inexplicably. Although Ganzhou was known for its
There are many herdsmen in the city, and the food reserves in the city are limited. The sudden influx of large numbers of reinforcements will all consume food. However, Xiazhou, which has been trapped in Ganzhou for a long time and has no troops to conquer, cannot afford to consume it. How much food can he squander like this?
In view of this, Ye Luohe stood still and started a war of attrition with the Xiazhou Army. When all the defense fortifications outside Ganzhou City were built and the armies were deployed, and the news of Suzhou's victory had been transmitted, Zhang Pu rushed to
He went to Suzhou and took over the post of Deputy Envoy of the Anxi Army.
Now Zhang Pu's Jiedu Deputy Envoy's Palace and Lu Wuhen's Zhizhou Yamen are both located in the left and right courtyards of the Longwang Palace's front courtyard. There is no need to leave the palace gate. Yang Hao hurried to Zhang Pu and saw a mountain of documents in front of Zhang Pu.
, and buried all his people.
When he saw Yang Hao coming, Zhang Pu was overjoyed and hurriedly invited Yang Hao to take a seat and said: "Your Excellency, you have come just in time. I am currently drafting a list of pensions and rewards and punishments for the attack on Suzhou, and reorganizing the original army of the Dragon King's Palace and re-appointing them."
The compensation and rewards and punishments of generals are related to the morale of the army; the reorganization of Suzhou Dragon King's army is related to the time for the commander's next action. Waiting for one more day will consume one more day of rice and food, and the military pay alone is countless.
I don't dare to delay, I just sorted out my appearance, and my lord has arrived, hehehe, come on, come on, please take a look, see if there is anything wrong with me."
Yang Hao saw that Zhang Pu's eyes were bloodshot, and he was obviously busy with official duties. He was probably working all night long, so he swallowed his words of guilt. Zhang Pu was really exhausted these days, planning strategies, analyzing military situations, inspecting military camps, and generals.
The appointment of an assistant, the reorganization of the army, and other matters were already extremely heavy, and he and Lu Wuhen also had to attend banquets and entertainment for Suzhou celebrities, gentry, and aristocratic families. It was really difficult for him to divide the expenses into several parts.
Yang Hao has now begun to intentionally hand over many things to his subordinates. After the military and political divisions were separated, Zhang Pu and Lu Wuhen became the heads of Suzhou Civil and Military Offices. As long as things within their scope of authority, Yang Hao
Even if their arrangement is not 100% in line with his wishes, Yang Hao will not point it out, but waits for them to find out the flaws and make corrections.
If he always grabs power and never lets go, his subordinates will become dependent on him and never be able to grow up to stand on their own. What's more... he may not be able to guarantee that his opinions will always be correct. However, when it comes to one place,
It was impossible for him to completely stay out of the establishment of the political power, especially when it came to personnel and financial rights. Many matters required him, the supreme leader of the military and political parties, to coordinate and make decisions, and to make the final decision.
Yang Hao put aside the matter of the Eight Dragon Girls and took the list and looked at it carefully. If he had any doubts, he asked Zhang Pu what his considerations were for such an arrangement.
When someone came up to hold the lamp, they were shocked to realize that it was getting late.
Yang Hao put down his pen and said: "Okay, let's just decide the main officials. Let's go to the next level. We don't want to do it all ourselves. These officials must also be given some autonomy. Oh, by the way, the Long family
The eight girls are staying in my back house as maids. I heard from Mr. Lu that General Zhang sent them there?"
Zhang Pu responded: "Yes, the Eight Dragon Girl is determined to stay and serve you to repay your generosity. She is tough and tough, and the general is also struggling to cope with it. Haha..., Mu Yu still can't bear to look at it, and at the end of the general
I said a few good words to them in front of them, and then the general..., uh...isn't this what the Lord meant?"
An idea flashed in Yang Hao's heart, and he suddenly realized it. He laughed twice and said: "It's nothing, I am very satisfied, hehe, very satisfied."
Zhang Pu also showed a look of understanding, and said with a smile: "The general is a rough man, and he is afraid that he will misunderstand the Taiwei's meaning. As long as the Taiwei is satisfied..."
Yang Hao left Zhang Pu's office, returned to his study and sat down, before giving out a wry smile.
He never expected that the result would be so ridiculous. It turned out that all the reasons were because of Mu Yu's words. If others said something nice for the Eight Dragon Girl, Zhang Pu would not take it seriously, but Mu Yu
Who is he? He is Yang Hao's personal bodyguard. In terms of closeness, he is the person who stays by Yang Hao's side every day.
If he said anything, Zhang Pu would inevitably commit a conspiracy and think that Mu Yu's intercession was due to Yang Hao's instructions. As a superior official, there are some things and words that are not convenient for him to say. If he does it, he must have a good understanding.
Ren Yi's subordinates are good at understanding and understanding Yi. Although Zhang Pu was a general who rose through the ranks through military exploits, he was not exempt from the common practice.
The civil affairs of the prefecture and even the government officials were in charge of Zhizhou Lu Wuhen. Seeing that it was Zhang Pu, deputy envoy of Jiedu, who sent the people here in person, Lu Wuhen naturally would not make things difficult for him, so he readily agreed.
When he sent the person to Yang Hao, Mu Yu saw that it was arranged by Lu Wuhen, who even Yang Hao respected very much, so he naturally agreed. When this incident happened, Mu Yu didn't know that he was the instigator.
.
Yang Hao had a lot of things to do these days. Naturally, Mu Yu would not bother him with the affairs of the maids and maids, so he settled these women. These girls were indeed smart, and they were not in a hurry to be by Yang Hao's side.
He showed up, cleaned the courtyard every day, made meals, and first became familiar with the guards and soldiers in the mansion. Even the entire Suzhou mansion knew that Taiwei Yang had accepted the eight beauties of the Long family, which had become an established fact.
Ling'er, the most clever eldest sister, tentatively went to bring tea to Yang Hao and began to make a public appearance.
Yang Hao figured out the ins and outs of the matter and couldn't help but frown deeply.
Long Hanhai worked hard and shamelessly arranged Long Nu to be with Yang Hao because he knew that whether the Long family would decline or not depended entirely on Yang Hao. Yang Hao already knew about this and didn't want to pursue anything. Speaking of which, Long
My family has ruled Suzhou for so many years. In this place where we are constantly competing with various forces, it is impossible for our nephews to become playboys. All the men of the Long family are capable of writing and writing. He is now in the entrepreneurial stage of opening up new territories.
, after he has completely digested the power foundation of the Long family, it doesn't matter if he uses the nephews of the Long family. He is short of generals around him.
What he was really worried about was that he remembered other things. Nowadays, his authority is increasing day by day. In the northwest, he is like a local emperor. He has more and more civilian officials and military generals under his command. His rule has gradually been on the right track.
, if some problems are not paid attention to now, his rule will be like a flash in the pan, and it will eventually lead to a dead end.
Mu Yu's unintentional words today aroused so many associations in Zhang Pu, and in turn affected Lu Wuhen. The reason was simply because Mu Yu was someone close to him, so he naturally played the role of Yang Hao's spokesperson.
A guard commander has such influence, but what about Dong'er? Where about Yanyan? Where about Wawa and Miaomiao?
In the past, his thinking was too simple. He always felt that he was not afraid of shadow evil if he was upright. However, the relationship between people was the most delicate and could not be restricted by certain rules. His ruling group was getting bigger and bigger, and the distance between the upper and lower levels was getting bigger and bigger.
It is also becoming more and more obvious that he can no longer do many things himself and needs to be implemented through layers of subordinate bureaucrats. At this time, as a close family member of the supreme leader, his words, deeds, and actions will inevitably be scrutinized by many people.
People consciously regard them as their spokespersons and try their best to implement them.
Zhang Pu and Lu Wuhen are both honest and capable officials with high positions. They have many thoughts when it comes to Yang Hao. In his huge bureaucracy, how many people can he guarantee to be upright and selfless?
What about the black bag Zheng? If the government of officials collapses, the government will perish. To govern the officials, you must manage the officials. To govern the officials, the boundaries between public and private must be clear.
Yang Hao secretly decided: when he opens up the Hexi Corridor and returns to Xiazhou, he must immediately take back the rights given to Dong'er and Yanyan. In the past, when the army was weak and the territory was limited, the virtuous housekeepers could stand up and share his worries.
It can solve problems and serve as an example to encourage women to participate in politics. However, times have changed, and now continuing to allow them to serve in their own "small court" will do more harm than good.
Yang Hao is not a genius who knows astronomy, geography, literature and military strategy, and is resourceful. However, his advantage is that he is good at learning and good at introspection. From a servant in Bazhou to today, he has become a soldier with more than 100,000 soldiers.
, the Jiedu envoy of the three states, in addition to opportunities, luck, and his own continuous learning and progress, the Suzhou Dragon Girl incident was originally just a small matter, but from one point to the other, Yang Hao...
A warning bell sounded in his heart, making him aware of the loopholes and deficiencies in his own governance.
A smile slowly appeared on Yang Hao's lips: "This Long Hanhai, this move will be of great benefit to me."
At some point, Mu Yu flashed into the room. Seeing Yang Hao with a thoughtful look on his face and a smile on his lips, he couldn't help but curiously asked: "Sir, what are you so happy about?"
Yang Hao came to his senses, glared at him and said, "Happy? You're so happy! You kid..."
Mu Yu said inexplicably: "Me? What's wrong with me?"
Yang Hao snorted and said, "Master Zhang sent you off?"
"Yes, General Ai will personally escort you, there will be absolutely no problem."
Yang Hao stood up, walked slowly for a few steps, and said thoughtfully: "Okay, as soon as there is an echo from Shazhou, I will lead my troops to Guazhou. As for you, you will go to Ganzhou."
Mu Yuqi said: "Master, when you go to Guazhou, won't you take me with you?"
Yang Hao said: "You have to solve the troubles you have caused. When I sent troops to Guazhou, you escorted the eight daughters of the Long family to Ganzhou and handed them over to Er Niang." When he said this, Yang Hao's eyes showed a trace of light.
A narrow smile: "Let's just say... I found eight maids for her."
Yanyan is a jealous person. When she sees Ziyu, she is like a needle touching wheat. She will fight to the death. Send these eight beauties to her. Women deal with women. She will definitely find a way to send them away.
Right? Long Ling'er... Women with such 'ruthless breasts' are used to taking advantage of women's strengths. Probably... only Yanyan can deal with them...
That night, Baihuawu, Fuzhou fell into unprecedented chaos.
Chi Zhong took advantage of the birthday of the Second Taipa Zhe, led a group of carefully selected close friends, pretended to be defeated generals and went straight to Fugu. He falsely claimed that the defenders of Caochengchuan had mutinied, killed officials and rebelled, and hurried back to Fuzhou to move there.
Recruiting reinforcements, he deceived all the way to open the key pass of Fuzhai, captured the pass first, and then allowed the army to pass. He, a general whom Yuxun trusted very much, actually arrived at Fugu smoothly.
When they arrived in Fugu, Chi Zhong led his dead soldiers to attack Baihuawu. Since most of Yang Hao's secret spies were now transferred to the Western Regions, and the Zhe family's eyes and ears were also on the outside, they were not aware of the internal changes.
.
Chi Zhong deceived and opened the city gate of Baihuawu, and immediately marched in with his army. At the same time, the army that had been sneaking out suddenly came out to kill them. There are two cities in Fugu, facing each other across the river, forming horns with each other. The north city is built on the mountain ridge, and Baihuawu
The dock is here. On the south side of Beicheng, there is a deep stream that faces the Yellow River in the south and the mountains in the north. It is called Yingpanling. A battalion of heavy troops is stationed here. Shizuiyi in the north of Beicheng is also a military fortress in Fugu, with two
The barracks and fortress tightly guard Baihuawu in the middle.
Relying on the dangerous terrain, if foreign enemies invade, it will be difficult to break into Baihuawu. Baihuawu is the daily office and residence of the Zhe family, but there are not many people in Wu City itself.
In order to prevent the enemy, Chi Zhong came from the east and attacked Baihuawu as his own family. He quickly occupied the bridgehead and cut off the connection with Nancheng on the other side of the Yellow River. Baihuawu, which was originally impregnable, fell into his hands.
Chi Zhong stood in the Grand Ceremony Hall, his pale face had not yet returned to normal. Although he had decided to break with his old master, after years of obeying orders, Zhe Yuxun's majesty in his heart had become indestructible. He attacked the old master
In the mansion, he could not help but feel a little guilty and timid.
The soldiers have taken control of the entire Baihuawu. There has also been a fight in the *** Festival Hall. Flags and weapon racks have fallen to the ground. The soldiers are taking out the bodies, raising the flags and cleaning the festival hall.
Will this place...belong to me from now on? Will I replace Zhe Shuai and become the governor of Baode?
Looking at the huge picture of *** going down the mountain, Chizhong still felt like he was in a dream.
"My lord, my lord."
Xiao Chen rushed to his side and called in a low voice.
"Oh?" Chi Zhong turned around quickly and asked, "How's it going? Have you caught everyone in the Zhe family?"
Xiao Chen said with a proud smile: "Hey, they were celebrating the birthday of Second Grandpa Zhe during the day, and they had already drank a lot. In the evening, there was a party for the Zhe family, and they drank even more. Everyone was so drunk, who knew we fell from the sky, so
Without much trouble, many members of the Zhe family were caught, and now they are all put into prison cars. Your Excellency, please see them."
"No, no, no, I...I haven't seen them." Chi Zhong's face flashed with a look of shame that was not very noticeable. After thinking about it carefully, he said uneasily: "Are you sure? Zhe Shuai and Zhe Yu
Have you, Qing, and all the important people in the Zhe family been arrested?"
Xiao Chen said: "The general has checked them one by one in person, and they will never be wrong."
Chi Zhong nodded and said, "Well, that's good. Then...I can feel relieved."
Xiao Chen said: "Sir, then...will we escort them on their way immediately?"
Chi Zhong frowned and said, "Why are you so anxious, Mr. Wang? It's dark at night. If something goes wrong, wouldn't it be a big deal? Otherwise... how about waiting until dawn?"
Xiao Chen said anxiously: "How can it happen? Even though we acted quickly, the Zhejia family still set off a beacon fire. Now in Yingpan Ridge, the defenders of Shizuiyi are rushing to help here, as well as the powerful dignitaries, dignitaries and celebrities living in Nancheng.
Assembling the family guards and trying to kill them across the river, no one would have thought that as soon as you captured Baihuawu, my lord, you would move the whole family. It would be the safest to transport them away at this time, not to mention there are still
The general will personally escort you."
Chi Zhong was still hesitant, and Xiao Chen said again: "My lord, in order to save all the Zhe family, the army loyal to the Zhe family will spare no effort to attack Baihuawu. Although there is sufficient food and grass here, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is enough to support the imperial court.
The reinforcements have arrived, but in that case, our casualties will be heavy. If all the people of the Zhe family are transported away and handed over to Mr. Wang Jien, once the reinforcements from all walks of life know that the Zhe family is firmly in the hands of the imperial court, their military morale will inevitably be weakened.
No matter how much fighting spirit you have, with them as hostages, you can better control Fuzhou, and we can reduce casualties."
"Well..., okay, you transport the people away immediately, and you must hand them over to Mr. Wang Jien with your own hands."
Xiao Chen puffed up his chest and said, "Don't worry, sir. As long as I have my breath, I will never disgrace my mission."
"Okay, I will give you three thousand people... no, I will give you five thousand people. You must guard the Zhe family and make sure there is no delay." Chi Zhong hesitated for a moment, with a ruthless look in his eyes, and lowered his voice.
The voice said: "If you are really intercepted and unable to break out of the encirclement, you will..."
Xiao Chen understood, nodded solemnly, and said in a ferocious voice: "I will finally understand that if things go wrong, no one in the family will be alive!"
"Okay, you go ahead..."
Chi Zhong watched Xiao Chen leave in a hurry, thought for a moment, and suddenly called a few soldiers and hurried out.
Chi Zhong hid on the side of the city gate, mixed in among the soldiers, and saw lanterns and torches being lit, and a row of prison cars that had been prepared escorting the entire Zhe family out one by one. Important figures like Zhe Yuxun and Zhe Yuqing were all
It was a separate prison car. Chizhong saw with his own eyes that they were tied up in the prison car, and he felt relieved.
The prison car drove out of Baihuawu and saw that a fight had just occurred on the only bridge. People on the other side piled up many corpses and returned to the south bank. Xiao Chen said in a deep voice: "Put out the lanterns and torches and hurry up."
A large army protected twenty or thirty prison cars, and hurried down the river under the cover of night. After walking a few miles, they saw a long dragon with torches on the distant mountains rushing towards Baihuawu. It was from Yingpanling. The defenders saw the beacon fire burning on Baihuawu and rushed to help. When Xiao Chen saw it, he couldn't help but smile coldly.
The fourth and fifth sons of the Zhe family were trapped in the same prison car with the seventh and ninth sons, as well as two juniors, Zhe Weichang and Zhe Weizhong. The fifth master was still drunk, but his expression was sober. He looked around in the moonlight. People all around murmured to themselves: "What the hell is this traitor Chizhong doing? Where is he going to transport us?"
After pondering for a moment and feeling confused, the Fifth Master turned around, glared at the Ninth Master and said: "Old Jiu, in the past, you were always in charge of our Sui Feng. Although it is now handed over to Wei Zheng, he is still young. You are still at the helm of many things, but how do you manage it? Our family has been taken over by others, and there is no news at all. "
Jiuye smiled bitterly and said: "Lao Wu, our Sui Feng has all the ears, eyes and eyes outside. Could it be that he is used to monitor his family? Who would have thought that his Chi Zhong would rebel in his den after eating the courage of a bear's heart and a leopard's guts? ?”
Lao Wu said angrily: "When they trapped the gathering hall and ordered my generals to give up resistance, didn't they say that the imperial court had mobilized the Anli Army, the Longde Army controlled Cheng Shixiong in Guangyuan, and Wang Jien personally led the Ninghua Army , the Jinning Army, the Pingding Army, and the Wei Sheng Army entered Fuzhou, and Suizhou's assassin Li Pishou secretly went north to set up an ambush to intercept Yang Jiye's reinforcements in Linzhou. Didn't we tell us not to have any illusions, and to abandon our weapons and surrender quickly? Isn't that outside? There are other places. Is it outside? Why don’t you see any news coming back?”
At this time, the fourth child also said sadly: "Yes, with his absolute loyalty, even if he rebels, how can he control the entire prefecture. Because of this, we don't worry about him rebelling. Now that he has really rebelled, then he will definitely It's not intimidation. There must be the support of the imperial court behind Chi Zhong, so he is willing to risk the world. Laojiu, our family is completely in trouble this time. If Sui Feng can find out some troubles in advance, what can we do? Why is it so bad?"
Both the Fourth and Fifth Lao said this. Jiu Ye, who had always been calm and composed, turned as red as pig's blood with anxiety. He said angrily: "Although our Zhe family's informants cannot penetrate into the upper echelons of the Song Dynasty, if there is any trouble in the Song Army, the army will How can the sound be lowered during the adjustment? In that case, it will never be hidden from my ears and eyes!"
Lao Si said in a deep voice: "The fact is that they have concealed it from your eyes and ears. Do you want to say that the imperial soldiers and horses did not respond to Chi Zhong at all? Chi Zhong just lost his mind and went crazy, so he wanted to use his Caocheng River to conquer the enemy." We only have 18,000 soldiers and horses, and you just want to change the dynasty and occupy the prefecture?"
Master Jiu was at a loss for words. He looked at the mountains in the vast night in despair, listening to the endless roar of the Yellow River, and muttered to himself in confusion: "How is this possible? Anli Army, Longde Army, Ninghua Army, Jinning Army, Pingding Army, Weisheng Army, but there is a mobilization of troops and horses, how could I not receive any news? Could it be that... my 'Suifeng' was also bribed and rebelled? "
Xiao Chen, who was riding a horse and walking beside the prison car with guns blazing, listened to their conversation. Xiao Chen pursed his lips, looked back at the direction of Baihuawu where no lights could be seen, and the expression appeared on his face again.
A proud and sinister smile...
It is not an honest matter to attack a minister without a legitimate name. Therefore, even the senior officials of the Song Dynasty did not hear about Zhao Guangyi's plan to seize the prefecture. Only one of them led troops outside and cooperated with Zhao Guangyi.
Wang Jien, who the emperor had conspired to commit regicide, was a full participant in this conspiracy. Therefore, from the imperial court, even if their spies succeeded in lurking in key departments of the imperial court, they could not get any information in advance this time.
Yang Hao's "Feiyu" secret agents, except for some fixed information stations, have all been transferred to the Western Regions to collect war intelligence, but the foundation of the Zhe family is here. Although the "Suifeng" secret agents are also always paying attention to Hexi
Corridor fighting, but their focus of surveillance is still on the outskirts of Fuzhou.
As Mr. Zhe Jiu said, although the "Suifeng" secret agents cannot break into key departments of the imperial court, the imperial garrison around Fuzhou is a key target of surveillance. If there is any trouble with them, there is no way to hide it from the well-trained Zhe family.
The eyes and ears of secret agents, but an indisputable fact is that the Ori family did not notice any changes in this mutiny, which was colluded between internal and external forces. What is the reason?
The beacon tower's blazing flames lit up the night, which was unusually eye-catching in the night. When the beacon tower in Baihuawu lit up the blazing flames that lit up the night, the beacon fires on the mountaintops lit up one after another and spread quickly to the distance.
With Linzhou City built on a high mountain as the center, the Great Wall stretches out in all directions. In the dark night, they are like sleeping ancient pythons, motionless. Suddenly, one of them extends from the north.
On a beacon tower along the Great Wall, beacon fires suddenly lit up one after another. After hearing the news, Yang Jiye, who had already fallen asleep, hurriedly put on his clothes and got up, climbed up to the arrow tower and looked into the distance for a while, and was shocked when he confirmed that the warning signal came from Fuzhou.
Today is the birthday of Mr. Zhe Er. He even sent someone a generous gift. Yang Jiye really couldn’t imagine what kind of changes would happen in Fuzhou that night. Could it be that Mr. Zhe Er got drunk and wanted to have some fun?
"Warlords"?
Of course, Yang Jiye would not think that the second master Zhe would be so enthusiastic. The enemy's situation was not clear at the moment, but the troops were very fast, and reinforcements could not wait until the truth became known. Yang Jiye immediately dressed up, beat drums to gather the generals, and gathered all the troops.
He sent hundreds of scout horses to go ahead to get the news, and then sent his eldest son Yang Yanlang and his second son Yang Yanpu to lead eight thousand troops to rush to Fuzhou.
The army set out on the road overnight, galloping on cavalry, and arrived at Dabaojin, the largest pass between Fuzhou and Linzhou, at noon the next day. After a short rest, they continued on their way without stopping. Along the way, they did not encounter any soldiers of Suizhou Governor Li Pishou.
