Chapter 305: All the Way Forward (Part 2)

"Just appearing in front of the formation, the bandit army was dispersed in public and forced a right-wing general of the bandit army to surrender... This is the most real man in the world."

Yang Xinghan, who had just been named the governor of Luzhou (Hefei, Anhui) by the court, was eager to show off and make contributions, also looked at the group of thieves disarming under Shuzhou City and the soldiers who were surrendering Huainan camps.

The guards, regiments, and local soldiers who had gathered together in the places were in danger and even seeking help. In front of the Huainan camp troops led by Zhang Da's attack, they were vulnerable like native chickens and tiles, or they were defeated when they heard the news.

"This is all the cheaper you have picked up...."

Zhu Yanshou, his wife's brother-in-law with big eyes and big voices beside him, said in a slight indignation.

"If the thief had already been exhausted with our teacher..."

"You can't say that,"

Yang Xinghan waved his hands carefully and looked around.

"What kind of person is Zhang Haoji? What kind of person is we? There is nothing like in the sky and the earth... It's up to me that the thief beats us in Luzhou. We must be the only one who has gained the light of Zhang Haoji's attack on him."

Yang Xinghan has reasons to be cautious in his words and actions. He was the son of a farmer who lost his father since childhood and was poor at home. Because he was tall and powerful since childhood, he was able to carry a hundred pounds and travel a hundred miles a day, so he was nicknamed "Yang Hanzi" and "Yang Changjiao". When he grew up, he was hungry and had no food to participate in the civil unrest in the Jianghuai period in the first year of Qianfu, and was arrested after failure.

The then governor of Luzhou was now the General of Right Sanqi. Zheng Qi, the attendant of the Eastern Palace, explained that he was a lenient person because of his unique appearance. He then recruited troops from the state to guard Shuofang (now Lingwu, Ningxia) to think that he had redeemed the redemption, and soon promoted him to the team to meet and gather the party and subordinates of the village.

When the border guard was over, the governor Zheng Qi, who was supporting him, had been transferred away; and the local military officers were disgusted with him, so they secretly interfered in the documents to ask him to go out again. Then he took the opportunity to make a big fuss and beheaded the military officer's heads, and took advantage of this to clamor and clamor for the army to rise up in chaos in the camp.

Lang Youfu, who was the governor of Luzhou at the time, could not stop it and left the city alone to escape. He was able to occupy the city of Luzhou and claim to be the commander of the eight camps of Lujiang. Then, when the thieves ravaged the southeast, most of the officials and soldiers had no time to take care of each other, he tug-of-war with the Turkish group nearby that took advantage of the situation. He was able to eliminate dissidents and gradually control most of the situation in Luzhou.

Next, Gao Pian conscripted Huainan and recruited a large number of thieves and local forces. He was also granted the title of Luzhou Ya General and temporarily ruled the city of Lujiang. It was not until recently that the thieves outside the ridge once again came out of the north, raging the Jianghan and advancing to Jiangxi and Jiangdong. The troops forced the city of Luzhou, which was subordinate to Huainan Road, that he was appointed as the governor of Luzhou, who was responsible for defending the territory.

Then, in order to protect the territory and the township party members, he naturally fought several times with the vanguard's pioneers; for now, he could have won a lot of results with his own victory and defeat. However, under the attack of more thieves who followed, he soon lost his troops and failed to rise. He could only retreat into Lujiang and defended Yancheng while trying hard to ask for help from the surrounding area.

But what he never thought was that this time he came to help was the number one general under the command of Gao Linggong, the lord of Huainan. Zhang Haoji, who was famous, personally led his army. This made him feel a little nervous and trembling. After all, this is a legendary figure who has almost never lost since his debut. He followed Gao Linggong and fought for most of the world.

Moreover, he has always been known for his harsh military governance. Since he took office as Huainan with Linggong, he has more than 20 military generals and officials of different backgrounds and backgrounds. He lost his head or his ministry in his hands; and the number of people who were disobedient and dispossessed by various deeds and dispossessed is even more than that.

Among them, there are even some local military generals such as the governor of Yizhou, who defended such high-ranking officials, or regiment commanders, soldiers and horse commanders. Just because the army was not serious and the response was not met, he was called to kill him for nothing, and no one dared to say more.

As far as he knew, there were naturally people who lost their positions and confessed to their deaths and went to the Yangzhou camp to cry in front of Gao Ling's public account. However, Gao Ling, who had always shown his kind elders, also said that the other party had always been so dedicated and could not help him. However, the future people who could only comfort and comfort were left under the tent, and then they would take a job with a generous salary and make plans in the future.

Such a powerful and prominent figure suddenly led a large army under his rule. Yang Xinghan couldn't help but become cautious and cautious, for fear of being unintentionally angered or offended this person, and at the very least, he was deprived of his official position and subordinates, and at the worst, he ended up losing his family and dying.

It was Zhu Yanshou, who was as simple as his wife and fellow villager, who was a comrade-in-law, who was so honest that he put his resentment into words. Thinking of this, Yang Xinghan couldn't help but smile bitterly. It was really a bad year for him.

But thinking about it the other way around, at least this time is also an opportunity for him, who is on the road to progress, such as showing his face and becoming famous in front of Gao Linggong. This is the opportunity for him to entrust many wealth and transfer to others before, and he can't find a way to go straight to the listening side.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but show a flattering but bright smile and walked towards Zhang Lin, who was surrounded by military generals with various expressions.

......

In Yuezhou, in Yueyang City on the east side of Dongting Lake, Zhou Yanling, the Zhongwu Army General from Xuzhou, also held an artful banquet and ceremony on Yueyang Tower, which is known as one of the four famous buildings in the world. Therefore, all the people here are literati and scholars with a little reputation and background and qualifications in the city.

However, in most of them, there was some insincere words or forced smiles, unwilling to eat, and uneasy to stand on their feet; because in sharp contrast to the "laughter and joy" on the floor, were the screams, clamors and crying from time to time from the city yard; that was the soldiers of the Zhongwu Army who had recovered the lost land, and were routinely liquidating the scholars and people who had "communicated" during the fall of Yuezhou.

Moreover, this behavior of rewarding soldiers in disguise has been carried out until the eleventh day has not yet ended; the scope has gradually evolved from the outer city where the majority of the people in the Pingming Dynasty to the sub-city (inner city) where wealthy families such as wealthy families and gentry were gathered. Even the top figures elected from these cities gave waves of generous gifts, they did not allow him to order the "clean thief" to stop.

He was the adopted son of Zhou Ji, the current governor of Zhongwu Army, and Zhou Ji, who was the first military envoy in front of the Shenwei Yaya, was able to expel Xue Neng, the former governor of Zhongwu Army, and replaced him with important contributions and heroes. Therefore, in the court, on the condition of accepting the fait accompli, Zhou Yanling, the chief general of Zhongwu Army, led the war to the south to assist the Shannan Jiedushi Liu Hanhong.

In fact, the Zhongwu Army guarding Xuzhou was also considered the king, and the thief led by Huang, a long-standing old opponent and old enemy. It can be said that among the many major defeats encountered by the thief in the north, there were many active figures of the Zhongwu Army. At the same time, the Zhongwu Army was also an important hub and a strong town for the imperial court to protect the Eastern Capital, and was also one of the famous strong troops in the north who had repeatedly defeated other towns.

Of course, the price of the only powerful troops in the world that the imperial court has mastered is not only the potential benefits of the local area of ​​the Near Eastern Capital, but also the military discipline that has been trained by the vassal commanders of all generations and has become increasingly arrogant and wild and criticized by the world. Therefore, every time the Zhongwu Army fights fiercely or wins, it is a routine indulgence in the soldiers to search cities and scrape streets.

Even when the prime minister is in charge, he cannot change and can only be restrained; even if he is the envoy Cui An, who is known as the "Iron-Faced Bodhisattva", can only kill Li Kefeng, the Zhongwu Army general who plundered from the border to Xuzhou on his way from the border guards, was considered effective and shocking, but could not touch their deep-rooted tradition.

This time, the foreign aid of Shannan Dongdao was even more arrogant, and only the governor of Shannan Dongdao, who is the landlord, could order and restrain him slightly; this time, he was sent south to restore Yuezhou, but he was not without the unbearable Shandong area, and he took advantage of this potential plan to move the water eastward.

Before this, these extremely fierce loyal and martial artists had already easily defeated several times their own thieves in the field ambushed by thieves; they also had defeated soldiers chasing the thieves in one go and rushed into the city in one go, and continued to launch a bloody killing campaign; they were as fast as thunder, and even the united soldiers sent to cooperate and assist in the war were beyond the reach, and they were basically useless.

Finally, countless thieves and related people cut down with the formation were built outside the west gate of Yueyang City, and a dozen feet high Jingguan was built in the direction of the famous Junshan Island. Therefore, they were so at ease that they all spread out their formations at the command, and divided into groups of small stocks into three or five to start "actively collecting" corresponding routine rewards.

Under the personal demonstration of this generation by example, the subordinates of the state army who followed also happily joined the ranks of various types of Zhongwu Army.

But now no one dares to stop or dissuade them, because those who wanted to persuade or negotiate with them had been searched from the residence of these fierce soldiers on the charge of "involving thieves". Among them, several Feng Weng and former state officials, and an old censor who retired.

However, on this famous building, which was said to be the "June Tower" of the Eastern Wu general Lu Su during the Three Kingdoms period, although there were many poems that were still warm and praised the official army for recovering lost land and the current situation. The current poems of the vast smoke and waves and vast waters in Dongting Lake, Zhou Yanling always felt that it was not very exciting and outstanding.

Either the meaning is general and popular, or the words are empty and empty; there is no poem that he wants to make him famous, or words that are quoted as classics. After all, he is a serious martial arts master in the court, and he has some standards and skills in the rhetoric.

Of course, according to his words, if these scribes could make a decree that satisfies him, the "Qing Thief" in the city would not be able to end early; so if one of the calculations and ones in the city could be called, they were gathered here. But their performance was obviously disappointing.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but miss Li Hanzhi, the governor of Huaizhou who went south together and had a similar intention. At least the other party has always been very tactful and agreeable, and he can always meet his appetite when he acts. So after Zhou Yanling revived Yuezhou, he directly transferred the fleet of troops to him as a joint effort to Qianyue Tanzhou. Now he doesn't know what the situation should be...

As for the overall situation and strategic subordinates advocated by the Shannan Jiedushi Liu Hanhong, what is the significance and use for him and the Zhongwu Army behind him? For these Guan Jian who went south to help in the war and to help, only the merits and benefits that were truly grasped in his hands are the most real things.

"Send guests to Dongting west, and the dragon piles up with green green.

Chen Palace is empty and bright, and Wucheng is vast."

An old scholar who was trembling with a wine cup and chanting in a heroic manner accidentally shook his head and splashed the wine on his face and clothes, and said unconsciously:

"Spring is darker with the lake, and the wind is rising with the tide."

Then, suddenly, I heard a noise and shouting from afar; so Zhou Yanling couldn't help but frowned and said coldly to the audience:

"Everyone is here, I will come here... These guys are making a fuss too unreasonable..."

However, after Zhou Yanling went downstairs and drove away for more than half an hour, everyone present waited and waited. The food and food were cold and hot, and there was still no sign of anyone turning back.

Then a scholar sitting on the edge of the crowd was suddenly stomped by his companion who was just making up for the numbers. He woke up with grumbling and complaining about the pain, and saw that his companion was already extremely frightened and full of horror, but he could not speak for the sound of hoho;

Then he casually followed his companion's fingers and couldn't help but feel shocked and sat on the ground, screaming in shock:

"Good...good...good...good...good..."

Then someone took the opportunity to tease him:

"Wen Ruogong's words that he made painstakingly and thoughtful are just a few good words that you have woken up from the dream..."

Then the scholar was interrupted and finally shouted out the rest of his words in a shrill tone.

“Many warships…”

Most of the people on the upper floor noticed that a large black ship had already sailed from the wavy Dongting Lake in the distance; with the bright sunlight of the golden rings passing through the clouds, the rippling reflections on the ships with helmets and armor and swords and guns even pierced the tranquility and peace of the lake from a distance.
