Chapter 117: Re-enter Liaoxi City
Unlike the first time I came to Liaoxi City, it was deserted and no one greeted it, this time, when Lu Hong and Gao Yuan entered the city, Liaoxi City was full of fanfare, Zhang Shubao and Huang Desheng were at the gate of the city with a large team, gongs and drums to welcome the convoy from Fufeng.
This time the team from Fufeng can be regarded as vast, not to mention anything else, just the two hundred Haode war horses, it is enough to attract the attention of countless people, seeing so many war horses at one time, for the military and civilians of Liaoxi City, it is not so easy, Liaoxi City is too Zhang Shouyue under the command of three thousand elite soldiers, but there is no formed cavalry. Not to mention the fact that in the middle of the procession, there was a cage towed by a wagon, in which the Hutu patriarch Latobe was imprisoned.
The former patriarch of Donghu no longer had the majesty of the past, and he was curled up in a corner of the cage with shackles on his hands and feet, his head bowed, and his gray hair covered his face. Wordlessly endured the insults and fingers of the Liaoxi people along the way.
It's not that Latobe didn't want to die, but after Gao Yuan caught him, he guarded against him, and let him beg for death and couldn't get it, and after this time, the will to die was gone, but he no longer had the courage to kill himself.
Zhang Shubao smiled, and after meeting Lu Hong in a hurry, he pulled Gao Yuan to appreciate the two hundred war horses sent, Zhang Shouyue had already spoken, this batch of two hundred war horses, all of them were transferred to the Chinese army commanded by Zhang Shubao, and this will be his horse in the future, how can you not like it?
Watching the two young people get together, looking at the war horses one by one, and pointing from time to time, Lu Hong was not so relaxed, looking at Huang Desheng, "Victory, Lord Taishou is still happy?" "
"Happy, happy! Huang Desheng said with a grin.
Lu Hong let out a long breath, "This time Fufeng City was broken, it was the first time in more than ten years, and I was afraid that Lord Taishou would be angry!" Last year, Fufeng was plundered, and Taishou-sama was already very annoyed, and I was finally relieved to hear you say that."
Huang Desheng lowered his voice and said: "After getting the news that Fufeng City was broken that day, Taishou was indeed very angry, gathered all the generals, and prepared to order troops to retaliate, but the people below had different opinions, and after discussing for a day, they didn't make a big ugly person. Lao Lu, to be honest, you have impressed me, you Fufeng these few soldiers, you can completely annihilate hundreds of Hutu cavalry and capture the enemy chieftain alive, amazing, amazing! "
Lu Hong smiled and said: "Speaking of this, I don't dare to take credit, this is all Gao Yuan's planning work, after returning from Liaoxi City last time, Gao Yuan was planning to eliminate this shareholder Hu people, Jihua was originally very thorough, if it wasn't for a little fork in the middle, so that Fufeng City was broken by the Hutu clan, this time, it was a perfect action. Fufeng City was destroyed, and we also suffered heavy losses, but fortunately, we also gained a lot."
Huang Desheng waved his hand, "Anyway, the result is haode, we won, fight, how can there be no one who does not pay the price, as long as the gain is greater than the pay, it will be earned. This is the biggest victory in our Liaoxi City in more than ten years, destroying a Donghu tribe and capturing the enemy alive, this is not a small honor, but I am afraid that the king of Donghu will also jump to his feet."
"This time the movement is a bit big, and I don't know if King Donghu will cause trouble because of this, Lord Taishou is really not angry? Lu Hong suddenly became uneasy.
Put your heart back in your belly. Huang Desheng patted Lu Hong's shoulder with a smile and lowered his voice, "This Liaoxi is the backyard of our Taishou Lord, think about it, there are always some guys who run to their backyard to eat crops, can the master not be angry?" This gnawing is his own harvest, Nalatobey is bold, even the county town dares to break, this is a broken rule, to be wiped out by us is also his deserved crime, Donghu King is knocked out of the tooth and has to swallow it in the stomach, unless he is ready to fight with us a big, but a big war, but it is not that you can fight, just the preparation work is not good for a year or two. What's more, you also sent so many war horses to Lord Taishou, looking at the carriages behind you, there are also a lot of possessions, right? That's all there is to be a lot of credit for your action."
Glancing back, Lu Hong couldn't help laughing, Huang Desheng also made sense, Fufeng is not the previous Fufeng, the current Fufeng is not only the border county of Liaoxi City, but also the money bag of Lord Taishou.
"But then again, Lao Lu, this Fufeng City was broken, Lao Huang, after I went back, I didn't figure it out for a long time on the sand table, how did the hundreds of cavalry of the Hutu tribe break your Fufeng City? Is this unlikely? Unless it's a mole? But you're an old man in Fufeng City, so you won't be so defenseless, right? Huang Desheng remembered something and asked in surprise.
"Even if you don't hit it, it's not far away! Lu Hong smiled bitterly, "It's not that we don't have to guard against the mole, it's just that the mole is too unexpected for us, this time we sent Latobe here, not only to save the meaning of inviting merit, but also to be a living evidence!" "
Huang Desheng's eyes widened, "Is there really a mole?" "
Lu Hong sneered, "Victory, have you seen Lord Linghu during this time?" "
Huang Desheng was shocked, "Old Lu, do you mean that Lord Linghu has something to do with this matter?" This can't be said nonsense, Ling Hu Tan himself is just that, but ...... behind him"
"I didn't say it had anything to do with him! Lu Hong intercepted and said: "Our Fufeng Governor Huo Zhu also returned to Liaoxi City, right?" "
"I don't know this, the superintendent of a county is not worthy of my attention, and he is not like you, he is my old brother and old friend, I will kill him! Huang Desheng said disdainfully.
"This time I came to Liaoxi City to make him die a good death! Lu Hong gritted his teeth and said.
"Something to do with him? The scar on Huang Desheng's face swayed.
"It's this Huo Zhu who opened the gate of Xicheng City, allowing the Hutu cavalry to break through the city, in order to block these cavalry, we Fufeng can be regarded as suffering heavy casualties." Lu Hong's eyes became cold, "Thousands of people have been killed, and most of the county has become a ruined wall, you say, can I let him die well?" "
"If it's Huo Zhu, I'm afraid it really has something to do with Ling Hutan! Huang Desheng's face also became heavy, "This matter, if it is not ironclad, it cannot be said nonsense."
"When Huo Zhu broke the city, he also killed a lot of soldiers under my command, but he didn't kill it in the end, and some people survived, if these are not ironclad evidence, then Latobe can nail the evidence to the death, victory, this person, you have to take care of him, you can't let him die inexplicably, Lord Taishou has always only been in charge of money and the army, these other yamen, I know, Ling Hu Tan infiltrated very seriously." Lu Hongdao.
"I understand, Latobe will not be imprisoned in the palace, I will put him in the barracks, no matter how powerful he is, can he go to the barracks to make trouble? Huang Desheng sneered.
"So please."
"By the way, there is one more thing to congratulate you, Lao Lu, if you win this battle, you are about to be promoted! Huang Desheng remembered another happy event, and couldn't help but say joy to Lu Hong.
"Promotion? "
"That's right, this is what Lord Tai said to a few of our henchmen in private, it hasn't been announced yet, Lord Taishou is going to build a new army, with a number of 2,000 soldiers, the left army, the middle army, and the right army, this time I am going to build a new front army, and the main general of this front army is your old way." Huang Desheng smiled and said: "Congratulations first, when you pay the errand, you have to invite me to Xianyunlou for a few drinks."
Lu Hong was also overjoyed, "If that's the case, I'll ask you Lao Huang to drink in Xianyun Tower for three days."
"That's it! "Huang Desheng is overjoyed, Xianyunlou is frighteningly expensive, even with his status and income, he can't afford to spend money there, he still has a wife and doll to raise, and there is a Taishou Lord standing behind this Xianyunlou, even if he wants to knock a stick, he can't dare to drool, where can he go to drink for three days, it can be seen that Lu Hong is really angry this time.
"You can't see the old way, are you really rich now? Huang Desheng smiled: "Fufeng, is it really so oily and watery?" "
"What money can there be? It's just happy, you're an old friend, even if you squeeze your bones, you have to be satisfied! Lu Hong smiled and diverted the topic, "If I come to Liaoxi City, what will be the position of Fufeng County Lieutenant?" "
"It's still being debated, but most of the opinions are to let Zhang Han straighten up, and Lord Taishou said that I have to ask for your opinion! Huang Desheng said.
"My opinion? Lu Hong's head turned back, and behind him, Gao Yuan and Zhang Shubao were putting their heads together, whispering something.
"Gao Yuan, it's good, it's just younger! Looking at Lu Hong's eyes, Huang Desheng smacked his lips and said with some regret.
Lu Hong didn't speak, if he left, he would inevitably let Gao Yuan serve as the county lieutenant, so as to ensure that his interests would not be lost, Zhang Han was indeed the only one when he was the county lieutenant, and he didn't have two hearts, but once he left, would it still be like this? Not necessarily. Some things are better than a rainy day.
At the back of the convoy, Zhang Shubao stroked the head of a tall horse, his face was full of joy, "Gao Yuan, this battle was fought very beautifully, last time, what I mentioned to you, have you considered it, come to my Chinese army, I will let you be your deputy, how about it?" It's definitely much stronger than if you're in Fufeng. In that wild place, what is there to stay in, as long as you are willing to come, it is not difficult for our brothers and sons to join forces and train an army that is the best in the world, right? "
Gao Yuan touched his nose and spread his hands, "Although Liaoxi is good, it is not my hometown, Brother Shubao, although Fufeng is poor, but it is difficult for me to leave my homeland, where, I am more comfortable, I understand your kindness."
