"Father, the child's eyelids have been beating hard in the past two days, and he is always uneasy, do you think something will happen to Tuozhou?"

Shaoshan City, Zhanzhou.

Ru's house, in Ru Junyu's study.

Ru Heng had an anxious expression on his face, standing in front of his father Ru Junyu's desk, pressing his throat and whispering the worries in his heart.

Zhanzhou is in the east of Tuozhou, and it is a fief given to the Ru family by Emperor Su.

In the Great Sulu, the capital city can be stationed with 15,000 soldiers, the state city can be stationed with 30,000 soldiers, and the main city can be stationed with 50,000 soldiers.

If this number is exceeded, the relevant officials will be punished for the crime of recruiting troops to rebel, and the crime will be punished by the nine clans, which will not be pardoned.

As a state city, Zhanzhou is only allowed to garrison 30,000 soldiers according to the Great Su Law, but because it is a fief of the Ru family, there is the founding general Ru Chengzhou sitting in the town, so Zhanzhou can garrison 50,000 soldiers.

Just like Baiyun City has Su Hanju there, the defenders of Baiyun City can only have 50,000, but Su Hanju can have 100,000 private troops.

This is the special edict of the Emperor Su.

Without this special edict, how could Su Yang dare to recruit red-armored cavalry.

Seventy-two central cities surrounded the imperial capital.

In the outermost part of these seventy-two central cities, there is a state city or main city like Zhanzhou at the next boundary, all of which are occupied by famous generals.

This is equivalent to the second line of defense of the Great Soviet Empire.

In the event of a major battle, the first line of defense on the border is broken, then this second line of defense will be quickly built to defend against a strong enemy.

But in recent years, the voices of the DPRK Chinese officials who are dissatisfied with this second line of defense have become louder and louder.

He said that at present, the dynasty is prosperous and the world is peaceful and peaceful, and it is necessary to appropriately recover the military power in the hands of the generals, and reduce the number of troops stationed in the state capitals, so as to reduce the annual military expenditure, and invest the saved money and silver in the development of agriculture and animal husbandry, so that the dynasty will become more prosperous and prosperous.

The military power is the life of the Jiangmen family, and the civil officials want to cut their lives, how can they agree, so they argue with the civil officials in the court, and make stumbling blocks with each other behind their backs, and they are inextricably fighting.

However, fighting with words and swords, playing tricks with black bellies, where are the generals the opponents of civil officials, so they have been losing more than winning over the years, and have suffered too many losses.

Fortunately, Su Hanlin was restrained, otherwise the military generals would have been swallowed by the black-bellied civil officials, and there would be no bones left.

Of course, fortunately, Su Hanlin was restrained, otherwise the civil officials would have been beaten by the generals to the point of and urine, and I am afraid that they would not even dare to take a step out of the gate.

But since last year, the generals who have been angry for decades have finally fought a turnaround.

The war in the four borders of the empire was chaotic, and the generals all stood up, and the court did not look at the civil officials directly, but all looked at the sky, facing a group of civil officials with two black nostrils.

The civil servants were so angry that they blew their beards and glared, but they did not dare to speak, because what they said was "you can do it."

An old minister was not convinced, saying "I will go up", and he really put on a cold and hard armor to lead the troops to the battle.

As a result, he died before he could leave the division, rode a horse for less than thirty miles, fell off his horse by a forty or fifty pound armor, and fell to his death on a flat official road.

almost didn't laugh the generals to death in the court.

The civil servants were like birds with their bright feathers plucked, afraid to raise their heads in shame, and made the matter a taboo subject.

"What's the panic!" Ru Junyu looked away from the scroll in his hand, glared at Ru Heng with a solemn face, and scolded him unhappily.

"The child is afraid of what if—what if—"

"No whatever!" Ru Junyu interrupted Ru Heng's words and said, "You just need to do what I told you to do well." ”

"The things you explain are all properly arranged, and you are sure that there will be no mistakes. Ru Heng responded, paused and couldn't help it after all, and said the worry in his heart: "The child is afraid that if the matter is found on the head of the majority of people, the majority of people will not be able to bear it and confess to us." ”

Ru Jun looked at Ru Heng's sad appearance, and felt that it was necessary to straighten out this matter for Ru Heng, so that his heart would brighten, otherwise this kid would scare himself when he saw the sky, but don't be scared of anything wrong.

Then he put down the scroll in his hand and said, "You think too much. ”

"It's just a little food, is it possible that Yancheng can still drive hundreds of thousands of defenders for this bit of food?"

"At most, we will send 10,000 or 20,000 horses over, but the problem is that there is no naval army in Yancheng, so it can only be cavalry. But what is the use of cavalry? Can cavalry deal with water thieves?"

"No, you can't. ”

"Then if they want to deal with the water thieves in Wangyuan Lake, they can only turn to Guang Jingshuo for help. At that time, as long as Guang Jingshuo sends troops to exterminate the water thieves, and then searches for food from the water thieves' lair, it will be ironclad that the water thieves did it. ”

"As for why there is only a little food in the water thief's lair, where does the rest of the food go? If you want to know the answer, you can only go to the bottom of the lake and ask the water ghosts. ”

"You see, it's that simple, it's not as complicated as you think. ”

"Even if there is a case, if Guang Jingshuo's head is found, what evidence do they have to convict Guang Jingshuo?"

"Guang Jingshuo and his people did not interfere in this matter at all from beginning to end, so even if they dug Tuozhou three feet into the ground, they could not find evidence of Guang Jingshuo's crime. Isn't that funny?"

"The only line that can be checked is the sack line, so if you cut this line, they won't be able to find out why. ”

Ru Junyu stroked his goatee lightly, and his eyes flashed with a sly light.

"Don't worry, all the people involved in the sack have been—" Ru Heng made a gesture to wipe his neck.

After his father's analysis, his heart that was hanging in the air was finally put back in place, and a cold smile appeared on his face, and he said: "Although the loss of this batch of grain cannot cause a fatal blow to Qi Wuwei, it will definitely be enough for him to drink a pot." It's a pity that we can't tell him to his face, otherwise it would be enjoyable to look at his wonderful expression. ”

"Hehe, if he is smart enough, sooner or later he will figure it out, but without evidence, what can we do? Haha-" Ru Junyu laughed happily, feeling the pleasure of revenge in his heart.

He suffered a great humiliation in Yancheng, but he didn't dare to settle accounts with Zhang Xiaopaw, so he blamed everything on Qi Wuwei's head, so he figured out this way to take revenge on Qi Wuwei, and by the way, he could also prepare a batch of military rations for the private army of the Ru family.

To say that the father and son are also bold, because if this matter is investigated, it will definitely be a felony to kill the head, and it may even implicate the entire family.

But they have done a lot of daring things, and this one is not bad.

"Report!"

Someone outside the gate of the hospital made a loud announcement.

This courtyard is the important place of Ru Junyu's study, and there are guards guarding the gate of the courtyard, no matter how important it is, you must be allowed by Ru Junyu to enter the hospital to report.

Therefore, if it is not important, it will not be reported here, and even if it does, it will mostly be guarded at the door, and it will be reported when Ru Junyu comes out of the courtyard.

And what is reported loudly like this is mostly important.

"Come in!"

Ru Junyu frowned slightly and replied, his voice was not loud, but it could just reach the gate of the courtyard.

Soon a soldier pushed the door into the study, took three steps forward, knelt on one knee, and reported: "General, the water thieves in Wangyuan Lake have been exterminated, and four water thief leaders have been captured alive. ”

Ru Junyu was not surprised to hear the first half of the sentence, because this was what he expected, the water thieves in Wangyuan Lake would definitely be exterminated, and they would not leave a living mouth.

But when he heard the second half of the sentence, he stood up from his seat in surprise and asked urgently, "Who did it?!"

The reason why I ask this is because if it is a water thief suppressed by Guang Jingshuo, it will definitely not leave a living mouth, and even if it wants to keep a live mouth, it will never leave a water thief leader.

So as soon as he heard that the leader of the water thieves was captured alive, he immediately knew that the water thieves were definitely not suppressed by Guang Jingshuo.

"It was the Yancheng soldiers who did it. The soldier replied.

Ru Junyu frowned and said, "Explain the matter in detail before and after." ”

The soldier went through what he had heard.

"Do you know who are the four people who came out halfway to turn the tide of the battle?" asked Ru Junyu.

"I don't know. The soldier replied.

Ru Junyu's eyelids suddenly jumped a few times, looked at Ru Heng and ordered: "Go and check what I told you to do again, and make sure that there is no mistake in the slightest." ”

"Yes!" Ru Heng's heart suddenly hung again, and his father's gloomy face told him that things were not good.

......

Guang Jingshuo's eyelids were also jumping.

Tutu Tu –

It's as if there is a big flea hidden under each of the two eyelids, and it keeps jumping.

He hurriedly returned to Tuozhou City, and without returning home, he rushed into the middle camp.

Then he waited for Zhao Quan to come to the door with enough momentum, ready to die and not admit it.

He was the envoy of Tuozhou Jiedu, commanding the 30,000 defenders of Tuozhou, so it was far safer to hide in the barracks than at home.

With an army of 30,000, he is not afraid that Zhao Quan will dare to use force.

If Zhao Quan is strong, it will be too good, and he will be directly convicted of leading the troops to rebel, and he will be killed in Tuozhou City.

But Guang Jingshuo waited for three days, but he didn't see Zhao Quan coming to the door, which made him unexpected.

He didn't believe that the leader of the water thieves could grit his teeth and not let go, and he would not confess to him until he died, I was afraid that the knife would be put on the neck, and they would not need Zhao Quan to ask, they would pour beans and explain everything.

But why didn't Zhao Quan move at all?

Aren't you scared?

Knowing that the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake and walks away?

Or have you already sent a request for help to Yancheng, and will come to him to settle accounts after the army comes to help?

Or is there something else you don't know?

After three days, Guang Jingshuo's hardness was half discharged, and his heart was up and down, and it was difficult to sleep and eat.

What disturbed him the most was that all the spies he sent out to find out Zhao Quan's movements were gone.

Fear stems from the unknown.

Of course, it was mainly because he had a weak heart, so weak that he felt that he had no face to look at himself.

Zhao Quan led his troops to suppress the water thieves and eliminate a big harm for Tuozhou, shouldn't he, as the festival envoy of Tuozhou, welcome Zhao Quan and a group of Yancheng warriors to Tuozhou City, give sincere thanks, and give rich rewards and thanks?

What's the matter if you hide in the barracks like a turtle with a shrunken head and don't come out?

Isn't this the place where there are three hundred taels of silver?

After Guang Jingshuo calmed down, he realized what a stupid thing he had done.

But he really didn't have the courage to see Zhao Quan, for fear that he would be chopped alive by Zhao Quan's knife as soon as he saw him.

In Guangjingshuo's uneasy torment, Zhao Quan led 17,000 soldiers to appear outside the southern city of Tuozhou.

They didn't do anything for the past three days, but stayed in the water thieves' stockade and rested for three days. Everyone ate and drank heavily, and they were ready to do a big job.

More than 21,900 of the 40,000 soldiers were killed and more than 800 were disabled.

This enmity is not shared.

Zhao Quan is not ready to go back to Yancheng, and he has no face to go back.

He wants to lead the remaining soldiers to fight Guang Jingshuo to the death, and vow not to give up if he does not cut off Guang Jingshuo's head.

17,000 soldiers carried war swords, straddled war horses, and wrapped their heads in white scarves, with a murderous aura.

"Stop the army quickly!"

The guards on the city walls saw the army appearing and came straight to the city gate with great vigour, and immediately issued a warning.

However, it was the cavalry charge that answered them.

Before the defenders of Tuozhou could react, Zhao Quan had already led the army to rush into the city gate, and went straight to Guang Jingshuo's mansion along the streets of the city to kill.

All the officials in Tuozhou were confused, they only knew that the big thing was bad, but they didn't know why the big thing started.

But Zhao Quan had already led the troops to step on their faces, and even if they were afraid, they had to face them and ask what was going on.

The answer is: Jiedu made Guang Jingshuo a big tooth and a spy, colluding with the thieves of Wangyuan Lake to rob the southern army of food, and wanted to disrupt the order of the southern border.

They were so frightened that their legs and stomachs turned around, because the water thieves in Wangyuan Lake would honor them every New Year's holiday, and they immediately respected Zhao Quan and stayed away from them, for fear of involving themselves.

Zhao Quan led the troops to surround Guang Jingshuo's mansion, all the family members were tied up and arrested, and troops were sent to tie up all the three clans of Guang Jingshuo.

Some people resisted and refused to be arrested, but their heads were cut off on the spot by soldiers with white scarves on their heads.
