Chapter 1121 Love and Hate in a Moment

After Lanyi City was strictly controlled by Uncle Zhang, it was always in the military control period. The people in the city were under high pressure. Not to mention martial law at night, even during the day, there were not many people in the street market.

After dawn, before the people of Lanyi City opened the door, they heard the sound of horse hooves on the street, and even loud sounds came in from outside: "General Zhang has an order that at noon today, I will announce something to everyone at the South City Gate, and don't be late."

The sound of horse hooves and shouts flashed by. Every once in a while, cavalrymen rode horses and shouted over on the streets. By noon, the gate of the south city of Lanyi City was already crowded.

No one knew what General Zhang was going to announce, but since he sent people to spread the news all over the city, the people were curious, so what could come naturally came.

The gate of the south city gate is open, and people are crowded around the city. It’s okay for ordinary people, but some shrewd people already feel something is wrong. In the past, most of the flags flying at the top of Lanyi City were written with the word "Zhang", but now the flags flying around the city castle have the word "Chu".

Most of the people are not even aware that at dawn, the Chu army was already at the city, and quietly changed their defenses to Lanyi City. Now, a group of senior Jinzhou generals, including Zhang Shuyan, are already under the control of the Chu army. The four cities are already defended by the Chu army, while a large number of Chu army are already stationed outside the city. Not only that, the Gen camp has also been transferred out of the city and stationed under the eyes of the Chu army.

While people were talking, they saw Zhang Shuyan wearing silver-gray armor appearing at the top of the city. The originally noisy southern city gate soon disappeared.

When the Zhang family and his son controlled Lanyi City, the officials of the few ministries in the city reprimanded Zhang Shuyan for wanting to rebel. Zhang Shuyan was ruthless. At that time, he pulled down the south gate of officials who were large and small against him, and chopped down a group of people in front of the people. Because of this, the people knew that this old man who looked kind was actually extremely fierce in his bones.

Although Zhang Shuyan had not been a hero in Jinzhou for a long time, the people of Jinzhou were already afraid of him. When they saw him appearing on the top of the city, they had already developed fear and dared not make noise again.

Uncle Zhang looked bad. He put his hands on the battlements. The walls of Lanyi City are far from being compared with Hezhou City, so Uncle Zhang doesn't have to spend too much effort to shout loudly. When the city was silent, Uncle Zhang said: "My fellow villagers, let everyone come today, just because there is a major thing to announce. This matter has been held in my heart for a long time, and now I always have to explain it to you."

The people looked at each other in a daze.

Uncle Zhang shouted: "Do you know Zhu Lingyue?"

Immediately, someone shouted loudly under the city: "I know that Governor Zhu is the great hero in our northwest, and he defeated the people of Xiliang!"

As soon as this statement was spoken, a large group of people immediately responded, saying that Zhu Lingyue was a great hero in the northwest. From the eyes and expressions of the people, it can be seen that they indeed regarded Zhu Lingyue as the savior in the northwest from their hearts.

Uncle Zhang raised his hands, and the commotion under the city quickly calmed down. Uncle Zhang said seriously: "Today we call you here to tell you the truth. I will know that black and white will be clear sooner or later, but I will not want you to be blinded anymore. In fact, Zhu Lingyue, who you have always regarded as heroes, is just an ambitious villain!"

"General Zhang, I heard that you were a Taoist in Tianshan at the beginning and were once a general under Governor Zhu. Why do you want to talk about Governor Zhu today?" In the crowd, someone suddenly asked loudly, "There are so many people and eyes, many people only heard the voice, but they didn't know who was asking the question.

"You are right. This general used to be a general under Zhu Lingyue's command. Because of this, he knew many ulterior motives." Zhang Shuyan looked righteous, "Do you know that he sent troops to attack the people of Xiliang to win people's hearts and make everyone regard him as a hero..."

"No matter whether it is a bribery or not, he sent troops to resist the people of Xiliang, which made the people of Xiliang unable to move in!" The crowd immediately said someone again.

Zhang Shuyan smiled and said, "Do you really think he sent troops to resist the people of Xiliang? He led the five thousand Tianshan Army to the battlefield, and I was one of them. At that time, the entire Xiguan was in chaos. Whether it was the Northwest Army, the prefecture army of Xiguan, or even the Xiguan Imperial Guards, there was no leader. Zhu Lingyue led his troops to join the troops and gathered these defeated troops. This is indeed true, but who do you know who resisted the people of Xiliang later?"

Of course, the people do not know the hidden truth. They rarely have the chance to know the truth about national affairs. Today, Zhang Shuyan suddenly revealed it in public. The people only think it is very new, but they are also very curious.

"I will tell you that although Zhu Lingyue was under the banner of counterattacking the Xiliang people to protect the northwest, none of his five thousand soldiers and horses died on the battlefield." Zhang Shuyan shouted: "All those who died in battle were the soldiers of Xiguan. Zhu Lingyue gathered the defeated soldiers, and then in order to win his life, he asked them to resist the Xiliang Iron Cavalry... Villagers, you have not seen with your own eyes that the Xiliang people are all wild beasts, biting everything they can resist them. Zhu Lingling

Yue could not organize the defense line at all, but let the children from Xiguan rush over one after another, resisting the people of Xiliang with their flesh and blood...!" At this point, Zhang Shuyan seemed to be moved, and clenched his fists, his eyes were a little red. "Watching so many soldiers from Xiguan died innocently under the swords of the people of Xiliang, the general was really unbearable at that time and persuaded Zhu Lingyue to retreat, but in order to win his reputation, Zhu Lingyue did not regard the soldiers of Xiguan as human beings...!"

Zhang Shuyan's words were very clear. When the people under the city heard it, many people had already looked angry in their eyes, and some people had already clenched their fists, and some women and children had tears in their eyes.

Jinzhou was the first bone after entering Yanmen Pass. When the Jinzhou soldiers headed south of Xiliang, countless casualties were killed or injured. Almost every family in the city had males died under the swords of the people from Xiliang.

After Zhang Shuyan said this, the people were immediately full of anger at Zhu Lingyue, whom they regarded as a hero. Their feelings were the purest. Of course, they would not think about any strategies and tactics, nor would they consider more actual situations. Now, in their opinion, their family members died in battle, and Zhu Lingyue sent them to charge and died in battle.

The crowd began to stir.

"Zhu Lingyue is regarded as a hero, but you know that it is all piled up with the blood of your family." Uncle Zhang said in pain: "From then on, I have always swallowed my anger. Not only did he dye his name red with the blood of the soldiers in Xiguan, but later when he withdrew his troops, he transported away a large amount of supplies from Xiguan, including many stored grains. Xiguan is now short of food everywhere. One of the reasons is that he has sent away your grains. By the way, there are also war horses. Xiguan once had the world's number one horse farm. The horse farm raised countless good horses, all of which were snatched back to Tianshan by him...!"

The people became more and more angry. They didn't care that Zhu Lingyue had snatched the war horses because they were too far away from them. However, when they heard that Zhu Lingyue had transported all the food stored in Xiguan to Xiguan, the people's anger gradually became more intense. Their families died on the battlefield, and even their food was snatched away. Someone in the crowd shouted angrily: "That hypocrite Zhu Lingyue killed our family and snatched our food. What's the difference between him and the people of Xiliang?"

As soon as the words fell, several voices rang out in the crowd: "That bastard Zhu Lingyue, he is really worse than a beast."

"He is the real bad guy, he is not a hero, he is a demon!"

The crowd was excited, and these voices were like Mars on dry firewood, igniting the crazy anger of the people. Someone had raised his arms and shouted loudly: "Kill that bastard, Zhu Lingyue, that beast, killed our family, we want to kill him!"

The voice soon rang out of the city, and there were also some shrewd people among the crowd. Zhang Shuyan talked about Zhu Lingyue's right and wrong in public, which made them very suspicious and felt that things were a little strange. But this was a minority after all. Many people knew that Zhang Shuyan was once a subordinate of Zhu Lingyue. Zhang Shuyan's words were of course very credible, so Zhang Shuyan's words today were undoubtedly a thunderclap on the ground. In just a moment, the people's respect for Zhu Lingyue was replaced by resentment.

Zhang Shuyan raised his hands high and signaled everyone to calm down again. People suppressed their anger and gradually calmed down. Zhang Shuyan waited until he calmed down and said, "Friends, this time the Jinzhou army was not the intention of me, but Zhu Lingyue was forced to force me later. Although I was unwilling, I had many eyeliners placed by Zhu Lingyue around me. They were eyeing me, so I had no choice but to give up on the snake..."

"General Zhang, why did Governor Zhu ask you to raise troops to resist Governor Chu?" Someone asked loudly in the crowd: "I just returned from Shuoquan. I heard there that Governor Chu is a very honest governor. He cares about the people. Shuoquan is circulating. Governor Chu wants to implement the equal field order so that people without fields can have land to grow. Previously, the plague spreads in Xiguan. It is said that Governor Chu finally found a prescription and posted the prescription. The government also helped boil medicine to save the people... Why did Governor Zhu ask General Zhang to rebel against him for such a good governor?"

The crowd began to talk.

"Yes, I also heard that the plague was Governor Chu who found the prescription, and he also made the priceless prescription public, so we escaped."

"That Governor Chu doesn't seem to be a bad person either, but is that Jun Tian Ling true or false?"

"I don't know, but if we really have fields, then it would be a Bodhisattva who has descended to earth."

"Why should such a good person fight him?"

"Zhu Lingyue is a bad guy, and Governor Chu is a good guy. Naturally, bad guys don't like good guys."

But Zhang Shuyan had already shouted: "You are right. Governor Chu is concerned about the people. He is a good official. Zhu Lingyue was afraid that Governor Chu would win the hearts of the people and that his ambitions would be frustrated, so he asked us to oppose Governor Chu. Governor Chu's order of equal fields is indeed true, and it has been promulgated and you will all be assigned to the fields."

"General Zhang, what you said is true?" Someone from the city asked: "Governor Chu really can implement the equal-field order?"

Zhang Shuyan nodded and said, "That's true. Governor Chu is now in Lanyi City. Governor will confirm it to you in person!"

The people under the city were stunned, and soon, they slowly walked out of the crowd at the top of the city, wearing wolf armor and fighting helmets, heroic. They walked to the edge of the city and overlooked the people under the city. Under everyone's gaze, Chu Huan had already smiled and said with a smile: "I am Chu Huan!"
