Among the civil and military officials in the shogunate, there are Cui Wan, Lu E, Tian Bei and others who are officials of the shogunate; there are also generals such as Liu Hao, Diao Wei, and Duzhi Xu Kan, Xue Lang, and other central military subordinates and the imperial court. Under the official position of the government;
In addition, Hailing Town, representing local forces, contained envoy Gaoba, Huqiu town general Li Quan, Quxi regiment trainer Liu Jin, Xutai regiment trainer Jia Lingwei; and even Xinjin convened to Hangzhou Badu regiment trainer Dong Chang , And others with complicated backgrounds are here.
However, under Zhou Bao's innocent voice and stern glances, the whole hall suddenly felt like sitting on pins and needles or burning with flames = ordinary, and they all got up in a hurry, and became sincere, fearful or ashamed. The confession and worship of the lawsuit.
"Subordinates are ashamed..."
"I can't wait for Linggong to share worries for the court..."
"I'm dull and unbearable, please order public punishment..."
Compared with the Gaojun king who is known as the “wall city of the country”, “the one pillar of the south sky” and “modern gods”; the reputation of the emperor of the five dynasties to the present as the “good general of the world” is also used to kill people like hemp. The bone-laden journey is foreshadowed and rendered.
Among them, there are naturally many bloody achievements of foreign captives and anti-thief, and there are also many who committed crimes, or violated and disobeyed his will, and became victims of military law prohibited by orders, and even simply the unclear place of death.
Therefore, he was able to be transferred to Huainan after Fu's highly anticipated high-level post; with light clothing, he can still suppress these, and he has long-term wealth and riches in the southeast and has cultivated some arrogant generals in Zhenhai; and even with Relatively weak and weak, Huainan's high-ranking soldiers are fighting against each other's courtesy.
Therefore, as soon as Zhou Bao made a statement, they inevitably fell silent, and made a soft look with their heads bowed. Of course, Zhou Bao's ability to suppress them and whether he can drive them to do their best in everything; or to perform and act as best as they can is another matter entirely;
After all, as the most common feature of the entire era. The game between the feudal commanders appointed and airborne by the imperial court and the warrior groups and the township and county leaders of the local climate is omnipresent in daily affairs.
Even Zhou Bao, who has long been known as a good general for many generations, needs to rely on the righteous name and personal authority of the court at the same time; Enjie and win over the camp children and tooth soldiers of the town can steadily suppress those Peripheral troops and local strength faction. And always maintain a certain point of authority.
However, these various men and horses under the name of Zhenhai Jiedu, and their leaders also have corresponding survival philosophies of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and facing the corresponding methods of strong vassals, most of them are experienced and not slippery. Keep your hands.
Although Zhou Bao had the righteous name and rewards and punishments, he was able to deal with any of them at will, but there was no way to solve and ban the township party group he represented at once.
In particular, like Hailing Town’s Containment Envoy Gao Ba, a leader who represents the background of the village party’s soil group; or it is also represented by Dong Chang, the Hangzhou Badu Regimental ambassador, who basically does not listen to the facts because of the facts of the rich and prosperous state. The local power faction; he can only openly condone and admit fait accompli, while secretly trying to do it.
However, now that the grass thief soldiers are pressing ahead, Zhou Bao must use their strength to tide over the danger together; this kind of untimely plan and conspiracy can only be pushed back.
After all, under the indiscriminate ravages of the grass thieves, they also had to stay in the same boat with their camp, or put together to keep warm in order to preserve their power and territory.
At least, in this atmosphere of not blaming the public, Zhou Bao couldn't specifically attack and account for a certain person. Instead, he took advantage of the opportunity to take away several official positions and titles and merge them into his team. However, at this time, somebody finally used a different voice to break the echo of this crowd.
"Ling Gongshang, a certain person thinks that the thief on the river is just a small problem. As long as his generation can't land ashore for a day, it will be difficult to truly threaten the safety of the city."
But it was a general who looked rather capable, thin and strong, and the famous Ding Congshi, regardless of the strange eyes and expressions of others, stood up and said with his hands.
"The real key lies in the fact that most of the grass thieves are raging outside the city. As long as they can be defeated by gathering elite troops, the Jiangshang thieves can retreat without fighting.. Although a certain person is not talented, he is inferior and inferior. But please assign one person to the team, and I hope you can make the Communiqué more effective than before..."
As a result, the hall suddenly fell silent, and focused all kinds of eyes on this one. I don’t know if it’s ignorant of the sky and the earth, ignorant and fearless, or the daring or self-confident generals. . . . .
In the afternoon of the next day, Ding Congshi, who was re-summoned after being granted the position of the general of the camp, was already walking in the corridor between the Jieya and the back house, but there was a scribe beside him who was talking endlessly.
"Ding Du will listen to my persuasion, you are really wrong about this matter. You think that Lord Ling will send these old and united children out of the camp and stick to the same place and help each other, just for the sake of simple safety What..."
"You also know that since the Huainan army crossed the river to fight for thieves, Ling Gong used the righteousness to increase troops and prepare thieves to set up additional ministries outside of the tooth soldiers; There are vigorous and strong people everywhere. Now there are seven or eight thousand people gathered in the city.. Why do you care about it?"
It turned out that under the jurisdiction of the Zhenhai Jiedu Envoy, in addition to the regiment training and guarding and capturing soldiers in each state; the Zhenhai battalion soldiers stationed in the Jizhen Administrative Office in Yangzhou also had many contemporary vassal soldiers inherited from each other. Control local abuses and practices.
It's just that the Jiangdong region is rich and the folk customs are relatively weak and softer. Corresponding to the enemy’s native soldiers, camp soldiers, and city unity children, they are not as daring to commit upheavals or suppress them as in the North, and frequently kill the chief generals or expel, bully, or overhead the envoys sent by the imperial court.
At most it is rampant and lawlessness and locality, and even killing people and overcoming goods, and there is a degree that the secretary dare not control; for the generals and chief officials appointed by the court, as long as there is no shortage of clothing and food, they are still submissive and obedient; at most, they are under the prestige and high pressure. Delays in disguised form and means of contradiction.
However, compared with Huainan Town’s newly reorganized army of 70,000; the army that Zhenhai Jiedushi can usually support is only between 30,000 and 40,000; and besides the slightly better equipment, the specific combat effectiveness is less. It's even worse.
However, the Huainan army, known as the southeast hero, was defeated by the grass thieves. Zhang Pdu, a general known as "Zhang Wudi", gave the head to his death. After Huang's resurrection, he was even more erosive and fifteen states. One hundred thousand" crowd.
Therefore, although Zhou Bao has the reputation and qualifications of "Four Dynasties", he is not at all assured to take them out to engage in wild battles and decisive methods with the grass thieves; rather, he would rather be conservative and more than moderate. The cities and Dantu town left elite soldiers, showing a tendency of contradicting each other and echoing each other.
And this one also told him an additional piece of news that the general Zhang Yu who was trapped in Jiangning was born as a polo player who was close to Dashuai Zhou, and he was put on the position of general general. Now he takes over. It's really the position of the other party.
Therefore, his words this time not only forced all the locals to mobilize some troops to help defend the alchemists; he also resented him as the initiator, and had already offended most of the local students in disguised form.
In the other party's chattering, Ding Congshi saw the white gray moon gate inside the back house Yuanzi very clearly, and then saw a blood-sparkling corpse soaked in Gema, which was hurriedly carried out. As for the scribes who accompanied and led the way, their complexion suddenly became difficult to look at, and after looking for a reason, they refused to go.
But it was the Zhou Linggong who killed a maid in the back house; and as everyone knows in the office and the mansion, this four-dynasty good general has no other hobbies and problems except for his luxury and ostentation; The early military career left a habit.
Once he sleeps restlessly or does not rest well, he must kill people to vent his anger; therefore, after Dao Zhenhai took office, due to exhaustion, the rebels killed and dealt with more than 20 people around him. Among them, there are servants and maids walking in the back house, as well as small officials and pro-accompaniers, and even a local singer;
Therefore, people who have a little bit of common sense in the Jieya mansion will first check the inside and out to find out if the Zhou Jieshuai, Zhou Shijun, has killed or vented his anger in recent days; avoiding some trouble while seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. And this time, Ding Congshi, who came to the call, was obviously calculated by others.
It's just that since Ding Congshi had already hit him, he had to bite the bullet and plead for someone to report it in; after all, compared with the risks that he might encounter, he was born in a slightly cold background, but he needed this opportunity to get ahead.
However, Zhou Bao, who was wearing an ordinary silk shirt inside, was drinking chicken congee in disregard of his image, as if nothing had happened at all. If it's not for the corners of the table, there are still paint stripping spots that are too late to make up.
"You came just right..."
In an uncomfortable wait in silence, Zhou Bao finally finished the chicken congee in the soup, and Zhou Bao, with his frosty beard and white hair, didn't even wipe the residue of his mouth.
"Since you have the ambition and the courage to do things, why don't I give you a man and horse... Just to get this opportunity, you have to tell me first, which way of the grass thief you plan to start with..."
. . . . . .
And in Luzhou (now Hefei City, Anhui) in the north of the Yangtze River, in the city of Hefei, governed by the state, there is already an atmosphere and situation that is sternly prepared and guarded against the enemy and threatened. Almost everyone in the city’s soldiers and civilians held bows and arrows, holding knives and spears and shields, gathered on the city’s head in fear and anxiety.
Yang Xinghan, who is the governor of Luzhou and the newly appointed guardian of the prefecture, and his deputy Li Shenfu, general Liu Wei, Tian Wei, Qin Pei, Zhou Ben and others, are also standing at the Duanming Pagoda of Chongyun Temple at the northwest corner of the city wall. On the top floor, we watched the huge crowds rushing past the city like a turbid wave emptying.
And these torrents of grass thief who passed across the city have been walking for a whole day and night, but they still seem to have not yet an end, but they are constantly gathering together, and passing around the city, leaving nothing but an overwhelming torrent. The next piece of bare land was trampled and flattened.
The city of Hefei in it is like an isolated island or a single reef in the ocean, and it is full of despair and chilling. Because, according to those who fled to take refuge, in addition to the city of Hefei, Luzhou, Shucheng County, Shen County, Lujiang County, and Chao County under Luzhou's jurisdiction have all been occupied by thieves.
"All those who can retreat from outside the city are here..."
Li Shenfu, who watched this scene, was a little sad and helpless.
"Those who can't keep up with the rest are completely hopeless... I am afraid that there will be little escape under such a situation..."
"I really can't take care of them... Let the children prepare meals and set up the equipment, so as not to worry..."
Yang Xingyun said flatly without hesitation.
"It's almost time for the set time, just wait for the corresponding order..."
A few more hours passed, and when the needle shadow on the corona began to advance to the afternoon Shenshi moment; the number of grass thieves outside the city finally became sparse and more disorderly, and then the several sides of it were ocher red. The banner made Yang Xinghan, who had been standing still and drinking and resembling a statue, suddenly reacted and became alive;
Afterwards, he draped neatly, and shouted in a deep voice at the crowd assembled under the tower.
"The time has come, Zhongerlang will accompany me to kill thieves and serve the country...Recover the hometown..."
"Kill the thief and serve the country."
"Kill the thief and serve the country."
"Kill the thief and serve the country."
Suddenly, the Luzhou army and horses, who suddenly opened the city and killed them, were suddenly in the middle of these grass-thief rear squads, which appeared to be much weaker. They were like flowers in the center and slaughtered like an uninhabited land.
With the raging force of these fierce officers and soldiers, the miserable and desperate howls, screams, and crying for a while resounded through the wilderness of the city.
Although someone successively dropped the objects they were carrying and knelt on the ground begging for mercy and surrender, they were all chopped over, stabbed, and stabbed to death one by one by the officers and soldiers who seemed to kill the red eye.
Soon, many bloody grass thief heads who stood still with panic, shock and surprised expressions frozen in their lifetime; they were piled up one after another outside the gate of Luzhou city, and the soldiers and civilians on the city ushered in unanimous unanimous voices. Cheers and praises.
As for the grass thief horse team that still wandered and watched in the distance, it seemed unmoved to watch and sit and watch all this happen; until the last figure capable of standing on the battlefield was again taken by the officers and soldiers. The horse kicked his feet.
Only then reopened the flag and patted the horse with the rein and walked away slowly towards the distance. Until this moment, Yang Xingmin, who tensed his whole body under a nonchalant expression, exhaled a sigh of breath, and dropped a stone in his heart to the ground.
"All have been killed as promised, and there is no more life left... The other party can also feel at ease..."
At this time, Zhang Shenfu, who was riding to his side, also whispered hard to hide.
"Congratulations to Shouzhuo. Nowadays, there is no longer any existence that can hinder my actions and ambitions in the whole state of the city and even in Luzhou..."
Yang Xingmin did not speak but looked into the distance with some deep eyes, but he remembered all the experiences and encounters he had experienced in the Huainan camp. However, since some things have started, they can no longer go back and make up, but can only continue to go to the dark on this road.
"Don't relax your guard, and don't rush to regain lost ground, first rectify the vests..."
Immediately he had made up his mind and ordered:
"Promise not to go back to Shuzhou, Hezhou, where there is still room for my generation to continue to seek and act..."
