Chapter 28 Chapter 28 Zhelan King
The sky was bright, and Chi Zhong relied on the dangerous terrain of the North City of Fugu to lay down a heavy line of defense, and Baihuawu, which was like a fairyland on earth, was full of barracks.Looking out from the height of Baihuawu, after a night of rectification on the other side of the river, the chaotic and disorderly team has also assembled.
Seeing this, Chi Zhong felt deeply regretful. All the powerful families under the Zhe family lived in the south city, and Baihuawu, the entire northern city, was equivalent to the Zhe family's private residence. Yesterday, the birthday banquet was held during the day, and last night was the family banquet of the Zhe family. At that time, those officials all returned to the south city. Chi Zhong plotted against the old master, so he was unavoidably timid, so all the troops were assembled in the north city, so that they could not catch all these officials.
However, what is consoling is that the main force of the Zhe family is located on the outside line, and Fugu is surrounded by heavy regiments. On the contrary, Fugu's local soldiers and horses are limited. There will be more than 10,000 people, relying on the dangerous terrain of Baihuawu, there is no need to worry about being shot down by them.
Strolling in Baihuawu, Chizhong is full of ambition for a while: Zhejia's soldiers on the outside line don't have to worry about it. Cheng Shixiong, who is as heavily armed as him, has been hijacked by the imperial court's Anli Army and Longde Army. Master Wang Jien personally led Ninghua Army, Jinning Army, Pingding Army, and Weisheng Army attacked Fuzhou with four troops, which was enough to restrain the leaderless Fuzhou army, and Suizhou assassin Li Pishou secretly went north to set up an ambush to intercept Yang Jiye's reinforcements in Linzhou, and he could enjoy the victory in peace. fruit.
All the old and young of the Zhe family were captured alive. This is one of his extraordinary achievements dedicated to the imperial court. When the imperial army subdues all the soldiers and horses, he will be loyal and become the master of the prefecture.
The old lord, Zhe Yuxun, all the family members, old and young, have been transported away, and the uneasiness in Chizhong's heart has eased a lot. He has already begun to regard himself as the lord of the prefecture. Looking at the plants, trees, pavilions and corridors, there is a feeling in his heart. Inexplicable joy.
At noon, Chi Zhong, who was full of joy, sat in the Zhejia Flower Hall, where Zhe Yuxun, the lord of Zhefu, had his daily meals, and had a sumptuous lunch with several of his confidantes and generals.Chi Zhong was very satisfied with his meal, he couldn't help stroking his beard and said with a smile: "I remember when I was Zhe Shuai... when I was celebrating Zhe Yuxun's birthday, I also ate the cooking skills of his family's cook. It’s not inferior to the famous Fuzhou chefs of that day, but the flavor is completely different, has Zhejia changed their cooks?”
Battalion Commander Wu Wei said with a smile: "My lord, there was a scuffle last night, the chefs of the Zhe family fled in panic, and our people hacked to death among the chaos. The rest are just a few apprentices and small workers. I caught Zhewei Zhengxinna's concubine Li Shi to cook these dishes, Li Shi is the beloved daughter of shopkeeper Li in Xiaofanlou in Fugu, so her skills are naturally not bad."
Speaking of this, Wu Wei winked at him, and whispered: "My lord, Zhe Weizheng's concubine, Mrs. Li, is only thirteen years old, but she is beautiful and beautiful. If my lord likes it..."
Chi Zhong hurriedly coughed, and said seriously: "Hey, you and I are loyal to the court. It is righteousness to betray his family. If you bully other people's women, how is it different from the robber who occupies the mountain as the king? Such words , don’t say it again.”
Wu Wei hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, your lord taught me that. From then on, let her prepare meals for you."
Chi Zhong pondered and said: "This is not appropriate. Uh..., how many female relatives of the Zhe family are still here?"
Wu Wei hurriedly said: "Follow your lord's order, all the women in the Zhe family and the concubines who have children are all loaded into the prison car, and transported together to Mr. Wang Jien, leaving behind only some concubines , who have never given birth, are not considered important people in the Zhe family."
Chi Zhong waved his hand and said: "Gather them in the back building and keep them under unified supervision, so that no one can be harassed or humiliated. That Li family should be locked up together. No matter what, she is a member of the Zhe family. Don't bully her too much." .”
Wu Wei hesitated for a moment, and reluctantly replied: "Yes." Several other generals looked at each other, winking at each other.
Chi Zhong observed the situation, and when he saw this situation, he already had some understanding, and his face suddenly sank.
Marrying a wife and virtue, marrying a concubine and sex, a person who can be accepted as a concubine by the Zhe family, it goes without saying that he is beautiful. Last night when the rebel army invaded Baihuawu, Chi Zhong saw some of the Zhe family's maidservants with his own eyes. The soldiers under him pushed him to the ground and tore their clothes and skirts to show off his power. Looking at the appearance of Wu Wei and the generals now, I am afraid that these generals have already taken advantage of their power to occupy some women from the Zhe family. That Mrs. Li must be very beautiful Yi, who is also the concubine of the young master of the Zhe family, has a relatively high status, so I kept it for myself.
Chi Zhong snorted and said: "When the imperial army enters Fuzhou and surrenders all the rebellious troops, I will be the governor of Fuzhou. Since ancient times, even if the dynasty is changed, the temples, ancestral graves, concubines and concubines of the previous dynasty have to Qiu has never committed any offense, people's hearts! Understand? If we are unpopular, how will we gain a firm foothold in Fuzhou in the future? Now that Fugu has just been conquered, you will act recklessly and let the wealthy families and dignitaries on the other side know, who will be willing? Surrender? Who dares to surrender? Really short-sighted!"
The concubines of the Zhe family were indeed divided up by Chizhong's generals, but the time was short and the city defenses were set up overnight, and many women were temporarily locked behind.After dawn, the order has been set, so it's not easy to do these things without telling Chi Zhong, so they urged Wu Wei to pick this delicate and lovely Li Shi, and first use his superb cooking skills to arouse Chi Zhong's greed. As long as Chizhong takes her into his room, they will be able to blatantly carve up women. They don't want Chizhong to be single-minded about becoming the governor of Fuzhou, and they don't want to hurt themselves. reprimanded him.
Wu Wei was disgraced by the training, Wei Wei just said yes, Chi Zhong said sternly: "When I become the governor of the prefecture, you will all have rewards, and all of you are generals guarding one side. If you have the power, why are you afraid that there will be no women? Lock up all the women in the Zhe family and prevent them from taking possession of them, what a bunch of short-sighted things!"
"Yes Yes Yes……"
Wu Weizheng said that he was here, and a scout rushed in and shouted: "General, Nancheng has gathered troops and horses. Under the leadership of the envoy Ren Qingshu, they are about to launch another attack on my bridgehead."
Chi Zhong smiled and said: "Ren Qing's book? Hehe, I have a good personal relationship with him. This person is not good at fighting, but he is an expert in financial management. In the future, I will not be short of such talents under my command. Wait for me to go. personally recruited him."
Just as he stood up, another scout rushed in, clasped his fists and said, "Report, General, Linzhou has sent reinforcements. Yang Jiye's eldest son, Yang Yanlang, is the vanguard, leading three thousand Qingqi. The Ling defenders join forces."
Chi Zhong's face changed, and he yelled strangely: "How is it possible? How could the people from Linzhou come here? Have you ever seen it clearly?"
The scout said: "Your subordinates will never make a mistake. Across a mountain range, the banner is fluttering, and the handwriting is clear. It is indeed the banner of Yang Yanlang of Linzhou."
Chi Zhong was inexplicably horrified, and muttered to himself: "How is it possible? How is it possible? According to the previous agreement, didn't Li Pishou of Suizhou send troops to intercept the reinforcements of Linzhou? Why did they let them go so quickly?"
Battalion Commander Liu Geng jumped up and shouted, "Damn it, could it be that the eunuch of the imperial court has raped us?"
Chi Zhong rolled his eyes at him, and scolded: "What a fool who doesn't think about it. The imperial court is determined to get the Northwest. Since it has such a good opportunity, how can it be easily let go? Are you just a child playing house? The emperor of the country, who has worked so hard, but did not send a single soldier, just to watch the civil strife in the prefecture? Although the head of the prefecture is gone, but the vitality is not damaged, and there is Yang Hao next to him, so the Zhao family will miss the opportunity Is it?"
Liu Zheng was so scolded that he didn't dare to make a sound, Wu Wei said: "That's right, it's the imperial court who conspired with our lord, isn't it a joke? According to the general's opinion, it may be that the Yang family came from Suizhou. "
He cupped his hands and said: "My lord, Suizhou has been withering day by day since Li Pilu's death. In the past two years, it has been suppressed by Linzhou and Fuzhou. The situation is even worse. The morale of the army may soon be useless, and the Yang family is now fighting everywhere. Looking at the northwest, it is regrettable that there are no opponents, but it is the time when the morale is like a rainbow, and the Suizhou soldiers probably did not stop them."
After hearing Wu Wei's analysis, Chi Zhong coincided with his own thoughts, and couldn't help turning his anger into joy and said, "That's right, it's the same if I think about it. Hehe, the Zhe family's army can't come back to help, what can be done by relying on the Yang family all the way?" If they don’t come, it’s fine. Now that they’re here, don’t even think about going back. The officials want to swallow Fuzhou, so how can they let Linzhou go? When the imperial army arrives, let’s go all out and go to Linzhou!”
"The general is wise."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Ren Qingshu organized the private soldiers and generals of various powerful families and powerful officials, and was about to join forces with the garrisons of Panling and Shizuiyi to launch another attack on Baihuawu, trying to rescue a few family members. At this time, news came that, The Yang family in Linzhou has sent reinforcements. At this time and here, Ren Qingshu, as the Jiedu envoy of the Baode Army and Zhe Yuxun's brother, is already the supreme commander of Fuzhou. Hearing the news, he immediately suspended the attack and met with the commander of the reinforcements, Yang Yanlang. As soon as they met, Ren Qingshu said: "Young general, Linzhou is very grateful for the help from Linzhou in this critical moment. Here, I would like to express my gratitude to your father and Yang Shuai on behalf of my family's commander-in-chief. gone." Yang Yanlang quickly returned the gift and said: "Your Excellency, you are too polite. You and my family share weal and woe. We should take care of each other. There is no need to say thank you. It's just... when I saw the flames of war in Linzhou, I hurriedly dispatched troops. I don’t know what happened in Fuzhou.” Ren Qingshu smiled wryly and said: "It's unbelievable to say that Chi Zhong, the defense officer of Caochengchuan, lost his mind for some reason, suddenly pretended to be a mutiny and fled back to Baihuawu, and took control of Nancheng in one fell swoop, including Zheshuai's family. " Yang Yanlang cried out: "How could this be? He...does he think that by doing this, Fuzhou will change hands and be under its control from now on?" Ren Qingshu smiled wryly and said: "It's impossible, so I am full of doubts. Maybe... Zhe Shuai is dissatisfied with Cao Chengchuan's repeated disturbances and wants to remove his official position, so he took the risk? Now Zhe Shuai The entire family is under his control, but it is difficult for me to know why." Yang Yanlang shook his head hesitantly, and suddenly asked: "Is there any change in the imperial court?" Ren Qingshu said: "Major General suspects that Chi Zhong has been bought by the court? To tell you the truth, after I learned that it was Chi Zhong who attacked Baihuawu unexpectedly, this possibility was the first thing I thought of. The garrisons from all over the country got in touch. At the same time, because Zhejia’s entire family was under control, the people from 'Suifeng' just got in touch with me, and now I will take over the management. From what I know, there is no change in the court at present, only the red About 4,000 to 5,000 people from the loyal group are rushing back to Caochengchuan, which is inexplicable." Yang Yanlang couldn't help frowning when he heard this: "Zheshuai's whole family has fallen into his hands, which is very tricky. If you don't know his purpose, you can't prescribe the right medicine. Master Ren, Yanlang has a suggestion... " Ren Qingshu hurriedly said, "Please tell me, Major General." Yang Yanlang said: "The Zhe family's soldiers and horses in the outlying prefectures and counties cannot easily be withdrawn." Ren Qingshu nodded and said: "That's what I mean too, so I only get in touch with them and report the news, and I don't plan to ask them to command Fugu for the time being." Yang Yanlang said again: "This matter has a lot to do with it. We should inform Taiwei Yang of the situation we have at any time. I'm afraid we won't be able to handle this matter." Ren Qingshu said: "I understand, this matter must be known to Taiwei Yang. At the same time... luckily among the misfortunes, because of Grandpa Zheer's birthday, all Zheer's family rushed back to Fuzhou, but they were given to a litter by Chizhong. It's done, but our fifth son has never shown up, I think... she will show up after learning about what happened in Fuzhou." Ren Qingshu was worried, but forced to say happily: "Now, Taiwei Yang is far away in the Western Regions. Even if he finds out the news, he will not be able to return in time. Now the Zhejia Army can only rely on the fifth son to come forward to preside over the overall situation." Yang Yanlang nodded, and said: "Thirdly, stop the attack on Baihuawu for the time being, try to meet Chi Zhong, and find out the reason why he imprisoned Zheshuai, whether it is because of profit and wisdom or because of some personal grievances, and try our best to protect him." Zhe Shuai's family is safe, and then find a way to rescue them." Ren Qingshu said happily: "What the Major General said is exactly what I want, so let's do it like this!"
According to Yang Yanlang's words, Ren Qingshu notified the generals of the military towns around Zhejia to strictly guard their positions and not to mess up their positions, and ordered "Suifeng" to step up the investigation of the court's movements. Send a Fuzhou official who has a close personal relationship with Chizhong to Baihuawu to meet Chizhong. Of course, in private, Ren Qingshu could not help reporting the latest situation to his master Cui Dalang. It has deep roots and has formed an independent interest group. Although Ren Qingshu is currently the leader of everyone, it is impossible to act arbitrarily and blindly act according to Ji Sitang's proposition. The identity of the German transport envoy presides over the overall situation. The officials sent by Ren Qingshu to Baihuawu were driven back without even entering the door, and Chi Zhong refused to meet. Of course Chi Zhong would refuse, he had already escorted all the members of the Zhe family to Wang Jien, and there was no room for reincarnation between them. A traitor to the Lord, but he has three points of conscience, and he has no face to see his old friend again. , In this situation where a break is bound to happen, why is it necessary for him to negotiate with the staff of the Zhe family. Ren Qingshu received a reply and discussed with the prefectural officials. Yang Yanlang and Yang Yanpu who had just arrived also attended the meeting. The result of the discussion was still unclear, so they had to fight Baihuawu again. The Yang family army appeared in Fugu at the fastest speed without hindrance, which surprised Chi Zhong, but in the ensuing offensive and defensive battle, he found that the only troops used by Ren Qingshu were Yingpanling, Shizuiyi, and the Fugu South City gentry family, powerful and famous family generals, private soldiers organized a team, and Linzhou Yang Jiye's troops, the outside army has not shown up, so I feel relieved. Judging from the situation in front of us, the appearance of Linzhou soldiers and horses here is either because of Li Pishou's trouble in Suizhou, or because his army is vulnerable, and none of the troops stationed in Fuzhou on the outer line has returned to help. It can be seen that Wang Jien still mobilized the troops according to the preface The attack was launched, and the Fuzhou army could not be the opponent of the imperial army under the condition that the army without a leader was distracted. As long as he guarded Baihuawu, he could wait for Wang Jien's success report. In view of this, Chizhong took advantage of the dangerous terrain of Baihuawu to only defend but not attack, and confronted Ren Qingshu's troops in a stalemate. On this day, Xiao Chen escorted Zhe's family to Caochengchuan, Chizhong came out, Caochengchuan was already an empty city, Xiao Chen didn't even enter the city, just went around the city and rushed to Xiyaozhai. Xiyaozhai is the residence of the Ninghua Army of the imperial court. It is built on the mountain. Looking down from the mountain, it looks like a beauty lying on the ground. Therefore, the whole mountain has a very unique name. The three key passes bordering the Jiakelan army are Rushangu, Hongchunling and Xiyaozhai.The Xiyao Village is in the middle, and it is also the main road for the Kelan army to enter and leave the Central Plains. At this time, Wang Jien, the observer of Shanxi Road, had quietly arrived from Daizhou and stationed troops in Xiyaozhai. As soon as the news of Xiao Chen's arrival reached Dazhai, Wang Jien couldn't wait to welcome him out. Wang Jien was surprised and delighted, and quickly asked: "General Xiao, are all the members of the Zhe family here?" Xiao Chen smiled triumphantly and said: "The last general is lucky to live up to his fate. Except for a daughter, Jia Zhe Ziyu, who likes to pretend to be a boy, the Zhe family is full of young and old, and all the direct lineage members of the Zhe family are here." Wang Jien laughed loudly, patted Xiao Chen on the shoulder and said: "General Xiao has made a great contribution, your bright future is indispensable to the official family." Xiao Chen hurriedly said: "I also ask Mr. Wang to support you a lot." Wang Jien was overjoyed, and asked about the situation in the prefecture, and he couldn't wait to order: "Come here, take all the Zhe family members out of the prison car, tie them up one by one, and obey orders in front of the tent." Wang Jien returned to the big tent of the Chinese army, stood still with the commander in hand, with the king's flag on his left and the command arrow on his right. …Baode Jiedu envoy, Zhe Yuxun Zhe general." After a while, two small school officers escorted Zhe Yuxun, who was tied up with five flowers, to the big tent. When Wang Jien saw it, he pretended to be angry and said, "It's unreasonable. General Zhe is an official appointed by the imperial court. His rank is three points higher than this official. How can you do that?" Dare to treat like this? Quickly untie and watch." The two small schools quickly untied Zhe Yuxun and moved another chair. Zhe Yuxun was tied up in the prison car all the way, and his spirits were a little depressed, but when he saw Wang Jien, he glared and spit fire, and he was not there. Sitting down on the chair, he stood in front of the two rows of guards in Jiazhan Senzhai, and shouted angrily: "So it turns out that Chi Zhong has been bought by you, so you turned against me." Wang Jien said with a look of surprise: "General Zhe, where do you start with this? I, Wang Jien, don't quite understand." Zhe Yuxun sneered and said: "Master Wang, Zhe so-and-so fell down, fell down completely, if he wants to kill or cut, now it's up to you, why bother to put on airs, my lord?" Wang Jien smiled wryly, looked around and said, "Do you understand what General Zhe is talking about?" The guards with knives on both sides bowed together: "I don't understand." Wang Jien spread his hands and said with a smile: "I understand, General Zhe must be angry and confused." Wang Jien sat down on the handsome chair with a smile, picked up a scroll, and said in a soft voice: "General Zhe, don't get angry, and please sit down." He paused, and then said: "Yang Hao is ambitious and has plotted for Fuzhou for a long time. After he first occupied Linzhou, he began to covet the territory of Fuzhou. This time, he personally led the army to the west, and the whole journey was invincible. Almost all the land in Hexi has been lost, only this prefecture... Hehe, the two prefectures of Linfu are the gateways for him to leave Hengshan. Since he has the Western Regions, he thinks about the Central Plains. throat? Therefore, he colluded with Chizhong and attacked Fugu at night. Yang Jiye of Linzhou also sent troops to respond at the right time. Taking advantage of Zheshuai's unpreparedness, he finally captured Fugu.It's a pity, one hundred secrets and one sparse, in times of crisis, Fang Xian is loyal and good.Chizhong's lieutenant, General Xiao Chenxiao, understands the righteousness of the righteousness, and he is not willing to join forces with the bandits. At the critical moment, General Xiao rescued General Zhe's family, and fled to this Xiyao village. He came to ask for help from the official. Is the officer right? " Zhe Yuxun was slightly taken aback, and his tightly locked eyebrows gradually raised: "I understand, I understand, hehe, haha..." Zhe Yuxun looked up to the sky and laughed wildly: "What a plan to kill two birds with one stone. I became a bitch and set up an archway. I won my prefecture and an excuse to attack Yang Hao. It's a good plan, a good plan, really good plan, It's ridiculous that Chi Zhong thought he had climbed a high branch, but he didn't expect that he was just a running dog being used by others, hahahaha..." Wang Jien laughed with him in a good-tempered manner, and waited for him to laugh. Then Wang Jien said kindly: "Zheshuai, where did this come from? Look, this is a memorial to the government that you wrote yourself. Yang Hao colluded Chi Zhong, captured Fuzhou, plotted against the law, General Zhe and his family defected to the imperial court, please send troops to suppress the rebellion, written clearly in black and white, come here, show it to General Zhe, if there is no problem, please General Zhe copied a copy, hehe..., General Zhe, don't worry, the officials... will definitely uphold justice for you." "Bah!" Zhe Yuxun's eyes were like fire, and his red face was already red and purple: "You have a good idea, hehe, if you want to seek my prefecture, you have already got it. Use the king to beat the ministers!" , The teacher is not correct, you have taken advantage of this advantage, you have also taken care of this infamy, and you still want to use someone as a minion?" Wang Jien's complexion darkened, and he shouted sharply: "Zhe Yuxun! If you don't write this memorial, the imperial court will have no way to rectify your name? Hey, in such a big world, you need to find someone who can imitate your handwriting word for word. What's the difficulty? The imperial court doesn't need your witness, your suicide note, plus the witness of Chi Zhong Lieutenant General Xiao Chen, is enough. If your entire family 'died in Fugu', based on your suicide note, the imperial court can justifiably send troops to occupy Fuzhou and attack Yang Hao.Leaving your life as evidence for the court is just icing on the cake. Without you, would you really not be able to win the trust of the world?Save your life, obediently follow the official's wishes, and listen to the official's words carefully with your tail tucked in. You can at least save this life if you fold your family, and you can be rewarded with an official position by the official if you kill the general.But if you don't agree with me...you will be expelled from Yunzhong Zhejia, which one is more important, don't you know which one is more important? " Zhe Yuxun's beard and hair were all flying, he glared angrily and said, "What did you say?" Wang Jien said leisurely: "General Zhe, you can see clearly, now your whole family is in my hands, and their life and death are all in your mind." Wang Jien pointed to the outside of the tent, and Zhe Yuxun looked back, and saw that all the old and young Zhe family members were tied up, and they were pressed down on both sides of the Chinese army's big tent. The characters were lined up, tens of feet away, and behind each Zhe family stood two escorting soldiers and an executioner holding a sharp steel knife, and Zhe Yuxun's face was as white as paper. Wang Jien led a group of guards to follow, and said with a leisurely smile, "General Zhe, if a hundred or so members of Zhe's family were all dead at the same moment, wouldn't that be a spectacular scene?" Zhe Yuxun was trembling all over, but he just said nothing. The members of the Zhe family were lined up from the opening of the tent according to the importance of their status. The first person tied to the left side of the tent had gray hair and was as dry as an old crane. Zheer Grandfather, Zheer Grandpa was pained and regretful, and cried out in tears: "Yu Xun, it's all because of me, an old fellow, that all of Zhe's family was wiped out..." The old Zhesan next to him was Mi Jiang, who shouted angrily: "Second, what are you talking about at this time, it's not a joke. Yuxun, our Zhe family has ruled Yunzhong for two hundred years, and we have been powerful for two hundred years. We have enjoyed all the glory, wealth, power and status, and we can't take advantage of all the benefits of the world. Now that we have this reward, it's nothing special. They can be killed or chopped up, so let them stand up. , people from our Zhe family, even if they die, they can't bow down to others." Wang Jien shook the scroll in his hand, and said with a smile: "General Zhe, will you follow my advice?" Zhe Yuxun's face was as white as snow, but his eyes were as red as blood, he clenched his teeth and said nothing, a cold smile gradually appeared on the corners of Wang Jien's lips, he slowly raised his hand, and suddenly waved it down, "Boom "With a sound of a drum, a knife and ax standing at the outermost end of the big tent raised the steel knife with a swipe, and chopped it down without hesitation. The beheaded Zhe family members didn't make a sound from the beginning to the end, only to see blood gushing out, and the head fell to the ground, Zhe Yuxun's heart tightened suddenly, tears welled up in his red eyes. "Boom!" There was another drum sound, and the executioner at the other end raised the big knife in his hand again... Five bloody heads fell to the ground, and when the sixth drum sounded, Zhe Yuxun finally collapsed, they were all his flesh and blood relatives, Zhe Yuxun was heartbroken, and screamed: "Stop! " Wang Jien smiled and said, "Zhe Shuai has changed his mind?" Zhe Yuxun stared fiercely at Wang Jien with his red eyes, panting like an old cow: "Okay, I... I will write..." Wang Jien smiled triumphantly, and raised his voice, "Come here, bring a desk for Zheshuai." Immediately, several soldiers brought a few desks, a futon, and placed the Four Treasures of the Study, and spread out the paper. Wang Jien handed over the scroll in his hand to a guard, and unfolded it in front of Zhe Yuxun. Zhe Yuxun grabbed the pen, According to the words on the scroll, I began to write vigorously. The members of Zhe's family didn't understand what Wang Jien wanted him to write, so Grandpa Zheer shouted angrily: "Death is death, Yu Xun, don't promise them anything." Zhe Laosi glared at Xiao Chen and shouted: "The prefecture has already fallen into your hands, and my whole family has become a prisoner. What more do you want?" Wang Jien smiled softly and said: "Few old people, please be safe and don't be impatient. What Zheshuai is doing now is to keep your family safe and prosperous." Zhe Yuxun gritted his teeth, just writing quickly without saying a word, he wrote a memo in a hurry, Zhe Yuxun hung his wrist to hold the pen, stared at the blank end of the memo, and was in a daze for a while, Only then did he sign his name. The guards immediately pulled up the playlist and handed it to Wang Jien. Wang Jien unfolded the playlist, read it from the beginning to the end, and said with a smile on his face: "Okay, okay, the officials are waiting in a hurry, haha, the imperial court has more than 100,000 troops. I'm waiting for you to fold the general's memorandum." Wang Jien rolled up the playlist, and someone immediately handed over a roll. Wang Jien put the playlist into it, sealed it, and immediately handed it over to a confidant guard. He shouted in a deep voice, "Riding fast for eight hundred miles, send it to Bianliang in a hurry!" "Obey!" The guard took it with both hands, took a few steps back, turned over and jumped on a horse that had been prepared, beat the horse and raised the whip, and was escorted by dozens of guards to leave the barracks. Wang Jien was full of joy, and smiled at Zhe Yuxun: "General Zhe, wait a moment, I will send someone to send your family to the capital. Hehe, Zheshuai is a smart man, you should know that as long as you obediently listen to the officials, then... …You are far more useful alive than dead. When the official family receives your request for soldiers, the whole family will be safe. The official family will reward you with a magnificent house and give you a prominent official position to show off the royal family bosom..." "Hahahaha..." Zhe Yuxun suddenly jumped up, looked up to the sky and laughed, Wang Jien was startled, fearing that he would startle and hurt others, so he quickly stepped back a few steps, only to see Zhe Yuxun's eyes straightened, muttering Said to himself: "A gorgeous house, a prominent official position, hehe, haha, then I will be the most prominent official position of the ancestors of the Zhe family, I will be the king of Zhelan, and I want the officials to grant me Zhelan Wang, hahahaha..." Zhe Weizheng, Zhe Weixin and other sons missed their father and couldn't help shouting in horror: "Father, father, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Chen was startled and laughed again, and said in amazement: "Master Wang, what's wrong with him? He's so angry, is he crazy?" Wang Ji'en was also a little stunned. Hearing Xiao Chen's words, he sneered and said, "Patriarch Zhe Tang, what kind of storms have you never seen before? Are you crazy if you say you're crazy?" He cast a sly look at Zhe Yuxun who was laughing wildly, and said: "He is crazy, let him be crazy, if he wants to be Sun Bin, I am not Pang Juan, hehe, watch him closely, if he wants to be crazy, let him be crazy!" " Zhe Yuxun laughed a few times, and suddenly burst into tears, his appearance was really crazy: "King Zhelan, you all heard me clearly, I... I Zhe Yuxun, I want to be King Zhelan! King Zhelan!"
Ren Qingshu organized the private soldiers and generals of various powerful families and powerful officials, and was about to join forces with the garrisons of Panling and Shizuiyi to launch another attack on Baihuawu, trying to rescue a few family members. At this time, news came that, The Yang family in Linzhou has sent reinforcements. At this time and here, Ren Qingshu, as the Jiedu envoy of the Baode Army and Zhe Yuxun's brother, is already the supreme commander of Fuzhou. Hearing the news, he immediately suspended the attack and met with the commander of the reinforcements, Yang Yanlang. As soon as they met, Ren Qingshu said: "Young general, Linzhou is very grateful for the help from Linzhou in this critical moment. Here, I would like to express my gratitude to your father and Yang Shuai on behalf of my family's commander-in-chief. gone." Yang Yanlang quickly returned the gift and said: "Your Excellency, you are too polite. You and my family share weal and woe. We should take care of each other. There is no need to say thank you. It's just... when I saw the flames of war in Linzhou, I hurriedly dispatched troops. I don’t know what happened in Fuzhou.” Ren Qingshu smiled wryly and said: "It's unbelievable to say that Chi Zhong, the defense officer of Caochengchuan, lost his mind for some reason, suddenly pretended to be a mutiny and fled back to Baihuawu, and took control of Nancheng in one fell swoop, including Zheshuai's family. " Yang Yanlang cried out: "How could this be? He...does he think that by doing this, Fuzhou will change hands and be under its control from now on?" Ren Qingshu smiled wryly and said: "It's impossible, so I am full of doubts. Maybe... Zhe Shuai is dissatisfied with Cao Chengchuan's repeated disturbances and wants to remove his official position, so he took the risk? Now Zhe Shuai The entire family is under his control, but it is difficult for me to know why." Yang Yanlang shook his head hesitantly, and suddenly asked: "Is there any change in the imperial court?" Ren Qingshu said: "Major General suspects that Chi Zhong has been bought by the court? To tell you the truth, after I learned that it was Chi Zhong who attacked Baihuawu unexpectedly, this possibility was the first thing I thought of. The garrisons from all over the country got in touch. At the same time, because Zhejia’s entire family was under control, the people from 'Suifeng' just got in touch with me, and now I will take over the management. From what I know, there is no change in the court at present, only the red About 4,000 to 5,000 people from the loyal group are rushing back to Caochengchuan, which is inexplicable." Yang Yanlang couldn't help frowning when he heard this: "Zheshuai's whole family has fallen into his hands, which is very tricky. If you don't know his purpose, you can't prescribe the right medicine. Master Ren, Yanlang has a suggestion... " Ren Qingshu hurriedly said, "Please tell me, Major General." Yang Yanlang said: "The Zhe family's soldiers and horses in the outlying prefectures and counties cannot easily be withdrawn." Ren Qingshu nodded and said: "That's what I mean too, so I only get in touch with them and report the news, and I don't plan to ask them to command Fugu for the time being." Yang Yanlang said again: "This matter has a lot to do with it. We should inform Taiwei Yang of the situation we have at any time. I'm afraid we won't be able to handle this matter." Ren Qingshu said: "I understand, this matter must be known to Taiwei Yang. At the same time... luckily among the misfortunes, because of Grandpa Zheer's birthday, all Zheer's family rushed back to Fuzhou, but they were given to a litter by Chizhong. It's done, but our fifth son has never shown up, I think... she will show up after learning about what happened in Fuzhou." Ren Qingshu was worried, but forced to say happily: "Now, Taiwei Yang is far away in the Western Regions. Even if he finds out the news, he will not be able to return in time. Now the Zhejia Army can only rely on the fifth son to come forward to preside over the overall situation." Yang Yanlang nodded, and said: "Thirdly, stop the attack on Baihuawu for the time being, try to meet Chi Zhong, and find out the reason why he imprisoned Zheshuai, whether it is because of profit and wisdom or because of some personal grievances, and try our best to protect him." Zhe Shuai's family is safe, and then find a way to rescue them." Ren Qingshu said happily: "What the Major General said is exactly what I want, so let's do it like this!"
According to Yang Yanlang's words, Ren Qingshu notified the generals of the military towns around Zhejia to strictly guard their positions and not to mess up their positions, and ordered "Suifeng" to step up the investigation of the court's movements. Send a Fuzhou official who has a close personal relationship with Chizhong to Baihuawu to meet Chizhong. Of course, in private, Ren Qingshu could not help reporting the latest situation to his master Cui Dalang. It has deep roots and has formed an independent interest group. Although Ren Qingshu is currently the leader of everyone, it is impossible to act arbitrarily and blindly act according to Ji Sitang's proposition. The identity of the German transport envoy presides over the overall situation. The officials sent by Ren Qingshu to Baihuawu were driven back without even entering the door, and Chi Zhong refused to meet. Of course Chi Zhong would refuse, he had already escorted all the members of the Zhe family to Wang Jien, and there was no room for reincarnation between them. A traitor to the Lord, but he has three points of conscience, and he has no face to see his old friend again. , In this situation where a break is bound to happen, why is it necessary for him to negotiate with the staff of the Zhe family. Ren Qingshu received a reply and discussed with the prefectural officials. Yang Yanlang and Yang Yanpu who had just arrived also attended the meeting. The result of the discussion was still unclear, so they had to fight Baihuawu again. The Yang family army appeared in Fugu at the fastest speed without hindrance, which surprised Chi Zhong, but in the ensuing offensive and defensive battle, he found that the only troops used by Ren Qingshu were Yingpanling, Shizuiyi, and the Fugu South City gentry family, powerful and famous family generals, private soldiers organized a team, and Linzhou Yang Jiye's troops, the outside army has not shown up, so I feel relieved. Judging from the situation in front of us, the appearance of Linzhou soldiers and horses here is either because of Li Pishou's trouble in Suizhou, or because his army is vulnerable, and none of the troops stationed in Fuzhou on the outer line has returned to help. It can be seen that Wang Jien still mobilized the troops according to the preface The attack was launched, and the Fuzhou army could not be the opponent of the imperial army under the condition that the army without a leader was distracted. As long as he guarded Baihuawu, he could wait for Wang Jien's success report. In view of this, Chizhong took advantage of the dangerous terrain of Baihuawu to only defend but not attack, and confronted Ren Qingshu's troops in a stalemate. On this day, Xiao Chen escorted Zhe's family to Caochengchuan, Chizhong came out, Caochengchuan was already an empty city, Xiao Chen didn't even enter the city, just went around the city and rushed to Xiyaozhai. Xiyaozhai is the residence of the Ninghua Army of the imperial court. It is built on the mountain. Looking down from the mountain, it looks like a beauty lying on the ground. Therefore, the whole mountain has a very unique name. The three key passes bordering the Jiakelan army are Rushangu, Hongchunling and Xiyaozhai.The Xiyao Village is in the middle, and it is also the main road for the Kelan army to enter and leave the Central Plains. At this time, Wang Jien, the observer of Shanxi Road, had quietly arrived from Daizhou and stationed troops in Xiyaozhai. As soon as the news of Xiao Chen's arrival reached Dazhai, Wang Jien couldn't wait to welcome him out. Wang Jien was surprised and delighted, and quickly asked: "General Xiao, are all the members of the Zhe family here?" Xiao Chen smiled triumphantly and said: "The last general is lucky to live up to his fate. Except for a daughter, Jia Zhe Ziyu, who likes to pretend to be a boy, the Zhe family is full of young and old, and all the direct lineage members of the Zhe family are here." Wang Jien laughed loudly, patted Xiao Chen on the shoulder and said: "General Xiao has made a great contribution, your bright future is indispensable to the official family." Xiao Chen hurriedly said: "I also ask Mr. Wang to support you a lot." Wang Jien was overjoyed, and asked about the situation in the prefecture, and he couldn't wait to order: "Come here, take all the Zhe family members out of the prison car, tie them up one by one, and obey orders in front of the tent." Wang Jien returned to the big tent of the Chinese army, stood still with the commander in hand, with the king's flag on his left and the command arrow on his right. …Baode Jiedu envoy, Zhe Yuxun Zhe general." After a while, two small school officers escorted Zhe Yuxun, who was tied up with five flowers, to the big tent. When Wang Jien saw it, he pretended to be angry and said, "It's unreasonable. General Zhe is an official appointed by the imperial court. His rank is three points higher than this official. How can you do that?" Dare to treat like this? Quickly untie and watch." The two small schools quickly untied Zhe Yuxun and moved another chair. Zhe Yuxun was tied up in the prison car all the way, and his spirits were a little depressed, but when he saw Wang Jien, he glared and spit fire, and he was not there. Sitting down on the chair, he stood in front of the two rows of guards in Jiazhan Senzhai, and shouted angrily: "So it turns out that Chi Zhong has been bought by you, so you turned against me." Wang Jien said with a look of surprise: "General Zhe, where do you start with this? I, Wang Jien, don't quite understand." Zhe Yuxun sneered and said: "Master Wang, Zhe so-and-so fell down, fell down completely, if he wants to kill or cut, now it's up to you, why bother to put on airs, my lord?" Wang Jien smiled wryly, looked around and said, "Do you understand what General Zhe is talking about?" The guards with knives on both sides bowed together: "I don't understand." Wang Jien spread his hands and said with a smile: "I understand, General Zhe must be angry and confused." Wang Jien sat down on the handsome chair with a smile, picked up a scroll, and said in a soft voice: "General Zhe, don't get angry, and please sit down." He paused, and then said: "Yang Hao is ambitious and has plotted for Fuzhou for a long time. After he first occupied Linzhou, he began to covet the territory of Fuzhou. This time, he personally led the army to the west, and the whole journey was invincible. Almost all the land in Hexi has been lost, only this prefecture... Hehe, the two prefectures of Linfu are the gateways for him to leave Hengshan. Since he has the Western Regions, he thinks about the Central Plains. throat? Therefore, he colluded with Chizhong and attacked Fugu at night. Yang Jiye of Linzhou also sent troops to respond at the right time. Taking advantage of Zheshuai's unpreparedness, he finally captured Fugu.It's a pity, one hundred secrets and one sparse, in times of crisis, Fang Xian is loyal and good.Chizhong's lieutenant, General Xiao Chenxiao, understands the righteousness of the righteousness, and he is not willing to join forces with the bandits. At the critical moment, General Xiao rescued General Zhe's family, and fled to this Xiyao village. He came to ask for help from the official. Is the officer right? " Zhe Yuxun was slightly taken aback, and his tightly locked eyebrows gradually raised: "I understand, I understand, hehe, haha..." Zhe Yuxun looked up to the sky and laughed wildly: "What a plan to kill two birds with one stone. I became a bitch and set up an archway. I won my prefecture and an excuse to attack Yang Hao. It's a good plan, a good plan, really good plan, It's ridiculous that Chi Zhong thought he had climbed a high branch, but he didn't expect that he was just a running dog being used by others, hahahaha..." Wang Jien laughed with him in a good-tempered manner, and waited for him to laugh. Then Wang Jien said kindly: "Zheshuai, where did this come from? Look, this is a memorial to the government that you wrote yourself. Yang Hao colluded Chi Zhong, captured Fuzhou, plotted against the law, General Zhe and his family defected to the imperial court, please send troops to suppress the rebellion, written clearly in black and white, come here, show it to General Zhe, if there is no problem, please General Zhe copied a copy, hehe..., General Zhe, don't worry, the officials... will definitely uphold justice for you." "Bah!" Zhe Yuxun's eyes were like fire, and his red face was already red and purple: "You have a good idea, hehe, if you want to seek my prefecture, you have already got it. Use the king to beat the ministers!" , The teacher is not correct, you have taken advantage of this advantage, you have also taken care of this infamy, and you still want to use someone as a minion?" Wang Jien's complexion darkened, and he shouted sharply: "Zhe Yuxun! If you don't write this memorial, the imperial court will have no way to rectify your name? Hey, in such a big world, you need to find someone who can imitate your handwriting word for word. What's the difficulty? The imperial court doesn't need your witness, your suicide note, plus the witness of Chi Zhong Lieutenant General Xiao Chen, is enough. If your entire family 'died in Fugu', based on your suicide note, the imperial court can justifiably send troops to occupy Fuzhou and attack Yang Hao.Leaving your life as evidence for the court is just icing on the cake. Without you, would you really not be able to win the trust of the world?Save your life, obediently follow the official's wishes, and listen to the official's words carefully with your tail tucked in. You can at least save this life if you fold your family, and you can be rewarded with an official position by the official if you kill the general.But if you don't agree with me...you will be expelled from Yunzhong Zhejia, which one is more important, don't you know which one is more important? " Zhe Yuxun's beard and hair were all flying, he glared angrily and said, "What did you say?" Wang Jien said leisurely: "General Zhe, you can see clearly, now your whole family is in my hands, and their life and death are all in your mind." Wang Jien pointed to the outside of the tent, and Zhe Yuxun looked back, and saw that all the old and young Zhe family members were tied up, and they were pressed down on both sides of the Chinese army's big tent. The characters were lined up, tens of feet away, and behind each Zhe family stood two escorting soldiers and an executioner holding a sharp steel knife, and Zhe Yuxun's face was as white as paper. Wang Jien led a group of guards to follow, and said with a leisurely smile, "General Zhe, if a hundred or so members of Zhe's family were all dead at the same moment, wouldn't that be a spectacular scene?" Zhe Yuxun was trembling all over, but he just said nothing. The members of the Zhe family were lined up from the opening of the tent according to the importance of their status. The first person tied to the left side of the tent had gray hair and was as dry as an old crane. Zheer Grandfather, Zheer Grandpa was pained and regretful, and cried out in tears: "Yu Xun, it's all because of me, an old fellow, that all of Zhe's family was wiped out..." The old Zhesan next to him was Mi Jiang, who shouted angrily: "Second, what are you talking about at this time, it's not a joke. Yuxun, our Zhe family has ruled Yunzhong for two hundred years, and we have been powerful for two hundred years. We have enjoyed all the glory, wealth, power and status, and we can't take advantage of all the benefits of the world. Now that we have this reward, it's nothing special. They can be killed or chopped up, so let them stand up. , people from our Zhe family, even if they die, they can't bow down to others." Wang Jien shook the scroll in his hand, and said with a smile: "General Zhe, will you follow my advice?" Zhe Yuxun's face was as white as snow, but his eyes were as red as blood, he clenched his teeth and said nothing, a cold smile gradually appeared on the corners of Wang Jien's lips, he slowly raised his hand, and suddenly waved it down, "Boom "With a sound of a drum, a knife and ax standing at the outermost end of the big tent raised the steel knife with a swipe, and chopped it down without hesitation. The beheaded Zhe family members didn't make a sound from the beginning to the end, only to see blood gushing out, and the head fell to the ground, Zhe Yuxun's heart tightened suddenly, tears welled up in his red eyes. "Boom!" There was another drum sound, and the executioner at the other end raised the big knife in his hand again... Five bloody heads fell to the ground, and when the sixth drum sounded, Zhe Yuxun finally collapsed, they were all his flesh and blood relatives, Zhe Yuxun was heartbroken, and screamed: "Stop! " Wang Jien smiled and said, "Zhe Shuai has changed his mind?" Zhe Yuxun stared fiercely at Wang Jien with his red eyes, panting like an old cow: "Okay, I... I will write..." Wang Jien smiled triumphantly, and raised his voice, "Come here, bring a desk for Zheshuai." Immediately, several soldiers brought a few desks, a futon, and placed the Four Treasures of the Study, and spread out the paper. Wang Jien handed over the scroll in his hand to a guard, and unfolded it in front of Zhe Yuxun. Zhe Yuxun grabbed the pen, According to the words on the scroll, I began to write vigorously. The members of Zhe's family didn't understand what Wang Jien wanted him to write, so Grandpa Zheer shouted angrily: "Death is death, Yu Xun, don't promise them anything." Zhe Laosi glared at Xiao Chen and shouted: "The prefecture has already fallen into your hands, and my whole family has become a prisoner. What more do you want?" Wang Jien smiled softly and said: "Few old people, please be safe and don't be impatient. What Zheshuai is doing now is to keep your family safe and prosperous." Zhe Yuxun gritted his teeth, just writing quickly without saying a word, he wrote a memo in a hurry, Zhe Yuxun hung his wrist to hold the pen, stared at the blank end of the memo, and was in a daze for a while, Only then did he sign his name. The guards immediately pulled up the playlist and handed it to Wang Jien. Wang Jien unfolded the playlist, read it from the beginning to the end, and said with a smile on his face: "Okay, okay, the officials are waiting in a hurry, haha, the imperial court has more than 100,000 troops. I'm waiting for you to fold the general's memorandum." Wang Jien rolled up the playlist, and someone immediately handed over a roll. Wang Jien put the playlist into it, sealed it, and immediately handed it over to a confidant guard. He shouted in a deep voice, "Riding fast for eight hundred miles, send it to Bianliang in a hurry!" "Obey!" The guard took it with both hands, took a few steps back, turned over and jumped on a horse that had been prepared, beat the horse and raised the whip, and was escorted by dozens of guards to leave the barracks. Wang Jien was full of joy, and smiled at Zhe Yuxun: "General Zhe, wait a moment, I will send someone to send your family to the capital. Hehe, Zheshuai is a smart man, you should know that as long as you obediently listen to the officials, then... …You are far more useful alive than dead. When the official family receives your request for soldiers, the whole family will be safe. The official family will reward you with a magnificent house and give you a prominent official position to show off the royal family bosom..." "Hahahaha..." Zhe Yuxun suddenly jumped up, looked up to the sky and laughed, Wang Jien was startled, fearing that he would startle and hurt others, so he quickly stepped back a few steps, only to see Zhe Yuxun's eyes straightened, muttering Said to himself: "A gorgeous house, a prominent official position, hehe, haha, then I will be the most prominent official position of the ancestors of the Zhe family, I will be the king of Zhelan, and I want the officials to grant me Zhelan Wang, hahahaha..." Zhe Weizheng, Zhe Weixin and other sons missed their father and couldn't help shouting in horror: "Father, father, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Chen was startled and laughed again, and said in amazement: "Master Wang, what's wrong with him? He's so angry, is he crazy?" Wang Ji'en was also a little stunned. Hearing Xiao Chen's words, he sneered and said, "Patriarch Zhe Tang, what kind of storms have you never seen before? Are you crazy if you say you're crazy?" He cast a sly look at Zhe Yuxun who was laughing wildly, and said: "He is crazy, let him be crazy, if he wants to be Sun Bin, I am not Pang Juan, hehe, watch him closely, if he wants to be crazy, let him be crazy!" " Zhe Yuxun laughed a few times, and suddenly burst into tears, his appearance was really crazy: "King Zhelan, you all heard me clearly, I... I Zhe Yuxun, I want to be King Zhelan! King Zhelan!"
