Naturally, such a loud movement at the entrance of the Yamen could not be hidden from everyone in Dongchang.
Just when Hu Yanzhuo led a group of soldiers to appear at the entrance of the East Factory, Chu Yi, Lu Junyi and others in the East Factory had already noticed this, but they did not come out immediately.
Standing at the door, Hu Yanzhuo stared at the door of Dongchang Yamen, and soon a figure appeared in front of Hu Yanzhuo, looking very proud.
The visitor Hu Yanzhuo is no stranger, or in other words very familiar. As a member of the Jiangmen family, Hu Yanzhuo is naturally very familiar with the people in their Jiangmen family system.
As a descendant of the Yang family in Tianbo Prefecture, Yang Zhi is especially an extremely outstanding descendant of this generation of the Yang family in Tianbo Prefecture. Not only Hu Yanzhuo knows about it, it can be said that all the disciples in the entire Jiangmen family system know about Yang Zhi.
Of course, many people feel sorry for Yang Zhi. Who allowed Yang Zhi to enter the notorious institution of Dongchang.
You must know that Dongchang's reputation is quite poor outside. Most of them, the general disciples, cherish their reputation very much. Even if they ignore their own reputation, they cannot ignore their own reputation.
On the contrary, the Yang family of Tianbo Prefecture has connections with Dongchang. However, when the Yang family of Tianbo Prefecture was wreaking havoc in Muronglong City, Chu Yi, the head of Dongchang, helped the Yang family, so Yang Zhi appeared in Dongchang.
It's not that it's unacceptable.
Hu Yanzhuo recognized Yang Zhi at a glance, narrowed his eyes and said, "Nephew Yang, are you okay? Where is Chu Yi? Let him come to see me in person!"
Yang Zhi looked at Hu Yanzhuo, cupped his hands slightly and said, "My nephew has met uncle Hu Yan. The admiral is in the Yamen. Uncle, please come with my nephew."
He frowned slightly. Originally, Hu Yanzhuo wanted to give Chu Yi a blow, so as to determine the priorities of the two. But looking at Chu Yi's reaction now, it seems that Chu Yi is not so easy to control.
Hu Yanzhuo didn't mean to underestimate Chu Yi. If Chu Yi was really that easy to deal with, he probably wouldn't let people like Cai Jing and Gao Qiu try their best to plot against him one after another.
Even so, Chu Yi is still alive and kicking. Unexpectedly, those people targeted by Cai Jing and Gao Qiu are now more miserable than the last, and many of them are even in danger of losing their lives. Only Chu Yi is not only fine, but also stable.
occupy a high position.
After walking into the yamen, the guards wanted to follow Hu Yanzhuo into the East Factory, but they were stopped by Yang Zhi on the spot.
After a slight pause in his steps, Hu Yanzhuo glanced at Yang Zhi and said to the bodyguard behind him: "You guys will wait again."
As expected of the generals of a family of generals, these people stood outside the yamen even if they ordered and prohibited them. Looking at their posture, if Hu Yanzhuo gave the order, these people would probably rush into the yamen immediately.
Yang Zhi led the way and led Hu Yanzhuo to the study. He stretched out his hand and said, "Uncle Hu Yan, the Admiral is in the study."
With a creak, the door opened, and a figure appeared in Hu Yanzhuo's sight. Who could it be if it wasn't Chu Yi?
When he saw Chu Yi, Hu Yanzhuo couldn't help but be startled. Hu Yanzhuo has been commanding troops abroad all year round. It can be said that the number of times he returns to the capital is very limited. Even if he returns to the capital occasionally to resume his duties, he is unlikely to have any interaction with Chu Yi.
, so it was the first time for Hu Yanzhuo to meet Chu Yi.
When he saw Chu Yi now, Hu Yanzhuo was naturally stunned. After all, Chu Yi was very different from the Dongchang Admiral he had imagined.
When Hu Yanzhuo thought about it, Chu Yi should be the kind of eunuch with a feminine face and a white face without beard, which made people think he was not a good person at first glance.
However, when he really saw Chu Yi, Hu Yanzhuo felt that he was mistaken. Chu Yi was not comparable to those great eunuchs. If he didn't know Chu Yi's identity, Hu Yanzhuo would have doubted whether he had recognized the wrong person.
Already.
Seeing Hu Yanzhuo looking at him in a daze, Chu Yi nodded slightly and said: "General Hu Yan, Chu Yi is polite."
A gentle and jade-like temperament made Hu Yanzhuo subconsciously raise his hands to Chu Yi and said: "Hu Yanzhuo has met the Prince of Guangyang."
After all, when it comes to status, Chu Yi carries the title of Guangyang County Prince. The title of this County Prince alone is much higher than that of many others. Even Hu Yanzhuo would take the initiative to salute Chu Yi when he saw him.
Chu Yi smiled slightly and said: "General Hu Yan is an honored guest. Please sit down and talk."
After sitting down, Hu Yanzhuo's mood also calmed down. He glanced at Chu Yi with a complicated expression. All the previous distracting thoughts were swept away. He just looked at Chu Yi and said, "I came here to meet the Prince of Guangyang.
Let’s discuss the best day to send troops.”
If he hadn't received Zhao Ji's imperial edict, Chu Yi would have been very surprised when Hu Yanzhuo came to discuss with him the date of dispatching troops.
After all, such a big matter as sending troops must be decided by the emperor or the Taiwei Mansion, but I never thought that Zhao Ji would hand over the decision-making power to him, the supervisor.
Smiling slightly, Chu Yi said to Hu Yanzhuo: "Oh, I wonder when General Hu Yan thinks it is best to send troops?"
Hu Yanzhuo's eyes widened, and an evil aura filled the air. He stared at Chu Yi and said: "If you ask me to say, it is best to send troops immediately, but the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses required for the expedition will take at least several days, even with the full support of the imperial court.
We can prepare everything, so in my opinion, it is best to send troops after three days."
Chu Yi smiled and nodded: "In that case, Chu will write to the emperor to send troops in three days."
"What?"
Hu Yanzhuo couldn't help but was stunned. He obviously didn't expect Chu Yi to accept his suggestion so easily. You must know that he was already prepared to be rejected by Chu Yi. After all, in Hu Yanzhuo's opinion, Chu Yi would definitely
Suppress him in this regard so as to assert dominance.
A supervisor and a commander of the army. If the two are stronger, then whoever is the commander-in-chief of the army. The reason why Hu Yanzhuo came with his own soldiers is not to compete with Chu Yi for the right to speak in the army?
Chu Yi was so talkative, but Hu Yanzhuo was stunned for a moment and looked at Chu Yi in surprise. On the contrary, Chu Yi said to Hu Yanzhuo: "What, is there any problem? Or does General Hu Yan think that three days is too short?
"
After coming back to his senses, Hu Yanzhuo quickly shook his head and said: "As the saying goes, rescuing people is like putting out fires. Putting down the Liangshan bandits is the most important thing. Since the King of Guangyang County has no objections, it is settled that the army will set off in three days."
Hu Yanzhuo soon left surrounded by his soldiers. Chu Yi watched Hu Yanzhuo leave with the corner of his mouth slightly raised.
Three days passed in a flash
On this day, Chu Yi, Hu Yanzhuo and other generals stood on the high general platform, while below were densely packed tens of thousands of troops.
Although everyone knew it well, Gao Qiu did not do anything with the soldiers and horses. The selected imperial soldiers looked decent, at least they were not the old, weak, sick or disabled.
When Hu Yanzhuo saw the soldiers below, he couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that Chu Yi was not at odds with Gao Qiu and Cai Jing. Previously, Hu Yanzhuo had been worried about whether Gao Qiu would be among the soldiers he sent.
What kind of hands and feet are you doing?
Now when he saw these imperial soldiers, Hu Yanzhuo realized that his worries were all in vain. Gao Qiu did not do anything about it.
As each general was named and the drums sounded, Hu Yanzhuo glanced at Chu Yi first. Chu Yi did not mean to compete with him, but smiled at him, took a deep breath, and Hu Yanzhuo said
He laughed and said: "The army is marching!"
The mighty army left the capital and headed straight for Shuibo Liangshan.
On the high tower, several figures stood on the top of the tower, looking at Chu Yi from a distance, while Hu Yanzhuo's figure disappeared into the horizon.
I saw those figures turning around, and they were Cai Jing, Gao Qiu, and Liang Shicheng.
Liang Shicheng was heard saying to Gao Qiu and Cai Jing: "Chu Yi has sent out troops. Prime Minister Cai and Lieutenant Gao, I should also go back to the palace to report to His Majesty."
Cai Jing nodded, while Gao Qiu said to Liang Shicheng: "Gao gave Superintendent Liang a ride."
There was a great victory over the official army at Liangshan in Shuibo, so naturally there was a feast for the whole army.
In addition to the tens of thousands of imperial troops who fled and suffered casualties, almost 60% of the imperial troops were defeated in the end. Except for a very small number of people who refused to surrender, there were more than 10,000 people who were willing to surrender.
After absorbing these surrendered soldiers, the number of soldiers and horses in Shuibo Liangshan exceeded 10,000 for the first time, and even almost reached 20,000.
The number of soldiers and horses has almost doubled. The morale of everyone on Liangshan can be imagined.
A few days have passed, and everyone on Liangshan Mountain is working hard to prepare for the war. After all, fools know that the imperial court will never give up after suffering such a big loss. And those who want to integrate into Liangshan Mountain must go through some arrangement and preparation.
Fusion, so most of the leaders are leading the soldiers assigned to them to train.
Of course, there are really not many Liangshan leaders who come from the green forest who can really lead an army. Therefore, if there are generals who are truly proficient in the art of war and see the scene of Liangshan people training soldiers, their eyes will probably fall out.
.
There is a courtyard in the back mountain of Liangshan Mountain. Even though it is a courtyard, it is a place where important people are imprisoned. However, what is being imprisoned in this courtyard is the captured general, Xuan Zan, Qin Ming
, Suochao et al.
There are dozens of senior generals in the army. In addition to those who died in battle, more than a dozen of these generals were captured. Although they are not famous in history, they can climb to the level of generals in the army, or
Either it has a background or it has real materials.
Excluding a few generals who rose to power through connections, the remaining generals can really be called good generals.
Chao Gai and others did not take these people to heart, but Song Jiang, who was born in an officialdom, did. According to Chao Gai's idea, if these generals refused to surrender, they would all kill Ji Qi, but they were
Song Jiang persuaded them to stop and saved the lives of these people.
From this point of view, including Xuan Zan, Qin Ming and others, these generals still have a good impression of Song Jiang. At least now Song Jiang is not the leader of Liangshan. The villain is naturally done by Chao Gai and Song Jiang.
The evil in turn brings out the good in Song Jiang.
At this time, Song Jiang was in a courtyard. In this courtyard, Song Jiang was persuading a general with a sincere face: "General Chen, why don't you follow the current situation and come to Liangshan? Song can assure General Chen that he will be able to do it one day."
I will try my best to beg the imperial court to recruit him, and then the general will be able to return to the imperial court."
Chen Jing had a hesitant look on his face. If Song Jiang hadn't mentioned recruiting people, he would have really been unwilling to surrender, but he was worried that the big leader Chao Gai would actually kill them in a rage.
They wanted to live but were unwilling to surrender. This was what most of the captured generals wanted. Song Jiang had seen through the minds of these people, so he used the most powerful weapon to recruit people.
You must know that in the imperial court, the top ten military governors were all bandits before they were recruited. It can be said that the Song Dynasty had a fine tradition of recruiting troops, so no one did not believe what Song Jiang said.
Seeing Chen Jing's hesitant look, Song Jiang coughed slightly, and at this moment, Wu Yong walked over from the door, with a cold face, first glanced at Song Jiang, and then his eyes fell on Chen Jing.
He said: "Brother Song Jiang, Brother Chao Gai asked me to ask you if this person is willing to surrender to Liangshan. If he doesn't surrender, he will be dragged out and chopped off the sacrificial flag..."
Chen Jing's eyes immediately shrank when he heard this, and he subconsciously looked towards Song Jiang.
Song Jiang hurriedly said to Wu Yong: "Brother Wu Yong, General Chen has just agreed to join me in Liangshan. Now he can be regarded as his own brother. Isn't it possible that Brother Chao Gai can't even kill his own brother?"
Wu Yong looked at Chen Jing after hearing this, with a smile on his face and said: "Oh, Brother Chen is really willing to join us in Liangshan. If so, Brother Chao Gai will definitely be very happy to know."
Song Jiang grabbed Chen Jing's hand and said with a slight force: "Brother Chen Jing, do you think so?"
Chen Jing gritted his teeth, nodded at Wu Yong and said: "Those who understand current affairs are heroes. Chen is willing to enter Liangshan."
It only took a few days, except for Xuan Zan and Suo Chao, almost everyone was persuaded by Song Jiang.
What Song Jiang didn't expect the most was that Qin Ming was actually persuaded by him.
Qin Ming's personality is as fierce as fire, but there is something wrong with his character. If it develops normally, Song Jiang, Wu Yong and a group of people wanted to force Qin Ming to join Liangshan. After capturing Qin Ming, they agreed to let him go.
When Qin Ming left, he got Qin Ming drunk and then sent someone to pretend to be Qin Ming and set fire to kill people in Qingzhou. Then the government killed his whole family. Under normal circumstances, Qin Ming should have killed everyone in Liangshan, but Qin Ming did
He suddenly transformed and became Song Jiang's most loyal thug, even more loyal than Li Kui, who almost wore the same pants as Song Jiang.
Even Song Jiang himself did not expect that Qin Ming, who looked fierce and upright, would be persuaded by him. So when Song Jiang introduced Qin Ming to everyone in Liangshan, Chao Gai and others looked at Qin Ming.
Every eyeball is about to fall off.
Boom, boom, boom
Violent noises were heard, and soon the leaders of Liangshan gathered in the Juyi Hall. Song Jiang was sitting at the head of Chao Gai, while Qin Ming was standing next to Song Jiang, looking like a loyal subordinate.
Chao Gai looked around, and finally his eyes fell on Zhu Gui and said: "Zhu Gui, please tell everyone the reaction of the officers and soldiers."
Zhu Gui took a step forward and said, "Reply to my brother, our people have sent news that more than ten days ago, the emperor personally appointed Hu Yanzhuo as the commander-in-chief, and Chu Yi, the admiral of the East Factory, as the supervisor, led tens of thousands of troops, and went straight to the army without stopping.
We came from Liangshan."
"What? Chu Yi, the admiral of Dongchang, is actually him..."
Zhu Gui took a step forward and said: "In reply to my brother's words, our people have sent news that more than ten days ago, the emperor personally
Zhu Gui took a step forward and said: "In reply to my brother's words, our people have sent news that more than ten days ago, the emperor personally
