Several people hit each other by mistake, causing the infighting between the Yancheng County rudder and the Huaiyin rudder, and even dealt a major blow to the Cardinal Sect through a big explosion. When I returned to the small village where I was temporarily stationed, it was almost dawn, and I saw everyone waiting at the gate.

Seeing Zhao Rong, several people came back to greet him. Zhou Boren asked, "There was an earthquake last night?" Liu Jingsheng said, "Haha, something big happened last night, and there was infighting in the Cardinal Sect. I was blown up by Ge Hong's explosives, and I don't know what happened in the city. Our Ge Dao Chang has made meritorious contributions. ”

Zheng Huaien also said: "Do we want to send someone to the city today?" Zhao Rong shook his head, "Poor Kou Mo chase, if you force them to jump off the wall in a hurry, they will twist into a rope instead, and the people of Yancheng County will be even more crazy." Let's wait and see. ”

Zhou Boren saw that his daughter was actually inside, and reprimanded, "Hong'er, a few of them are going to run errands, why don't you go with them." What a system. ”

Zhou Hongyu glanced at Zhao Rong, "They go to do things, and I will do things too." ”

Zhou Boren asked, "Nonsense, what are you doing?" "Zhou Hongyu Road" is a lifelong event. ”

Several people couldn't help but look at her. She blushed and ran into the village.

Zhou Boren couldn't figure it out for a while, and he was no longer entangled, "It's been a busy night, let's eat something and rest." It seems that we must be fully prepared, and this civil unrest will be fought for a protracted war. ”

Everyone nodded and walked into the village together.

When he woke up, it was dark, and Zhao Rong slept messily. After a while, I dreamed of Yu Wenjun, who was gentle as water beside his bedside, and murmured, "It's been three years soon, you have to remember to marry me." ”

After a while, I dreamed of Zhou Hongyu, pressed him against the wall, kissed his lips, he kept struggling, couldn't break free, and had to enjoy this domineering gentleness. He struggled in his heart. "No, I have a wife, I have a wife."

After a while, I dreamed that Liu Rumei was sharpening a knife beside his bed with a resentful face. , To be honest, Liu Rumei is the most beautiful woman he has ever seen, it is false to say that he is not tempted, but her beauty is hers, but men and women appreciate each other, and everyone has a love for beauty. If you talk about the relationship between men and women, I am afraid that it is inappropriate.

After a while, I dreamed of Wang Luoying and Wang Luoheng. The two sisters met him in Langya. They also spend the longest time together. I don't know how they're doing in Jinling.

After a while, I dreamed of Wang Hua again, dreamed that the two of them had just met, desperately burned money, and dreamed that he was forced to take away his family property. I don't know if he went to Jinling or not, he was still so incorrigible and prodigal.

After a while, I dreamed of Ran Min, Zu Di, and Yu Yin. I'll have to go back and see them when I'm done here.

When Zhao Rong opened his eyes, he saw Zhou Hongyu sitting next to his bed. He was so frightened that he quickly curled up and hid in the corner. Zhou Hongyu took out a leather whip and pointed at him, "Let me ask you, who is Liu Rumei?" ”

Zhao Rong said: "This Liu Rumei is Zhuang Liulu, he is the eldest lady of Green Willow Villa." Greenwillow Villa was destroyed, and she was sold to a brothel. Later, he was saved by the leader of the Cardinal Sect. ”

Zhou Hongyu said angrily, "I knew that you were a disciple and liked him." What about Wang Luoying and Wang Luoheng? ”

Zhao Rong then explained, "The two of them are a pair of sisters, I met in Langya, and Wang Luoying is a child. It's only fifteen this year. I think of him as a sister. ”

Zhou Hongyu shouted, "Okay, I thought you were just a flower, but I didn't expect you to be perverted and like children." Also sister. It's really unreasonable. What about Wang Hua, where is Wang Hua a wild woman? ”

Zhao Rong really jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it away, so he had to explain: "Wang Hua is not a woman, he is my buddy." ”

Zhou Hongyu couldn't hold back his roar, "Oh my God, I have long heard that in your palace, the private life of the wealthy nobles is chaotic. They all have a fetish for short sleeves. I didn't think about it, there really is, it's disgusting, forget it, when I don't know you. With that, he opened the door and went out. met Liu Jingsheng, who was about to enter the house, and saw the two of them, in the house. The hippie smiled and said, "What's the matter?" Taken? ”

Zhao Rong smiled wryly. Zhou Hongyu pulled Liu Jingsheng like pulling a little chicken, yes, grabbed his collar and grabbed him out, "Liu Jingsheng, I have something to ask you." ”

Liu Jingsheng shouted, "Brother Rong, help, Brother Rong, go out quickly, Dean Zhou is looking for you." Alas, it hurts me to death, sister, you light. ”

Zhao Rong saw Zhou Boren shouting at him, thinking that there was something urgent. I didn't dare to delay, so I hurriedly got up and went to the living room.

I saw that there were several people in the living room who I didn't know. Zhou Boren pointed to a middle-aged man and said, "This is Master Cui Yongchang and Cui of Xuzhou." That Master Cui, "poof," knelt on the ground, "The lower official Cui Yongchang visited His Royal Highness Taisun, and after receiving a letter from the black-clothed guards asking for help, his subordinates rushed over non-stop." Zhao Rong nodded, "Master Cui, as a civil official, you have this courage, and this palace appreciates it very much." I don't know Lord Cui, but I was born in the Cui family in Qinghe. ”

Cui Yongchang clenched his fists, "Get down to business, Xia Guan is a classmate and friend of His Royal Highness the Prince, and he was raised by His Royal Highness the Prince, the Prince is dedicated to the people, loves the people like a son, and Xia Guan is a capital crime." It's a pity that the crown prince died young. But when I saw Your Highness today, your father and son look the same, and the lower officials are really full of emotion. Then he pointed to a general next to him, "This is Liu Yuanzhi, the right general of the Xiaocai Battalion, from the Liu family in Hedong, who is a friend of life and death with Xiaguan, and a classmate of His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Zhao Rong couldn't help but glance at "Hedong Liu's family, it's my mother's family, I don't know, General Liu?" ”

Liu Yuanzhi said, "Don't hide it from Your Highness, the last will be a side branch of the Liu family, but he is also the same generation as the crown princess." ”

Zhao Rong was excited, "Great, it turned out to be my cousin." Please bow down to your nephew. ”

Liu Yuanzhi hurriedly stepped back, "Don't dare, don't dare." His Royal Highness and my Liu family are in the same breath, one is lost, and the other is prosperous. If you have any orders, you can just say it, and you will do all the official and private affairs. ”

Zhao Rong pulled him, "It's been three years since I left the palace, and it's the first time I see my relatives, so don't shirk my uncle." ”

Liu Yuanzhi had no choice but to accept his salute.

"By the way, Liu Jingsheng is also here, I don't know, has my uncle seen it."

Liu Yuanzhi shook his head, "I haven't seen you in a hurry." ”

At this time, I saw Liu Jingsheng and Zhou Hongyu enter the door. Meet Liu Yuanzhi. Liu Jingsheng hurriedly saluted, "Uncle Yuan, you are here, you will not be able to jump for a few days when you come to this red-clothed sect." ”

Then Liu Jingsheng said to Zhao Rong, "Uncle Yuan is the only son of my second master's family, and he has been in the army for many years. It's a rare sight today. Brother Rong, you two have to get together. ”

Zhao Rong asked, "How many reinforcements did my uncle and Cui Taishou bring this time?"

Urging Taishou said, "The lower officials were afraid of chaos in Xuzhou, so they only brought 5,000 people. General Liu has brought 25,000 men from the right army of the cavalry battalion, and I have already written to my friends and colleagues, and I can gather about 50,000 in about five days. ”

Zhao Rong nodded. Then he briefly told Cui Taishou and Liu Yuanzhi about the situation in Donghai County, in short, the situation was very serious, Lanling was defeated, and the local red-clothed cultists and local armed forces were ready to move. It can turn into an uncontrollable mess in an instant.

By the way, I talked about the internal strife between the Yancheng rudder and the Huaiyin rudder in Yancheng County last night, and I'm afraid there were a lot of casualties, so let's see if we can take advantage of the chaos to attack. Solve the matter of Yancheng first. Cui Yongchang, the Taishou of Xuzhou, and Liu Yuanzhi, the right general of the Xiaocai Battalion, brought 30,000 reinforcements, and also brought the news of the continuous supply of troops, giving hope to the people of Yancheng County.

Next, we will discuss the fighting style of this battle, which means that the enemy has just arrived and occupied the county seat, but the food and grass are scarce, and the army's heart is not shocked, coupled with the big explosion last night, the blow to the Cardinal Sect, many people think that it is God's punishment for them. In addition, the city gate of Yancheng County has been destroyed by the explosion, and the city is directly attacked, giving them a heavy blow.

Zhou Boren disagreed, "Although it is a riot, most of the people in it are ordinary people, who have been coerced to participate in the rebellion, it is better to persuade them to surrender first, issue a notice, and leave the county within three days, they will not be blamed for the past, and the troops will begin to attack the city after three days, and all the stubborn and stubborn ones will be strangled." ”

Liu Yuanzhi also added, "For the main roads and bridges in and out of Yancheng County, troops are stationed to prevent the enemy from connecting inside and outside and cutting off the supply of grain and grass to the other side." and intelligence transfer. ”

A few people looked at what Zhao Rong meant, Zhao Rong honestly didn't know anything about this, but in principle, it is right to kill less and persuade more to surrender, because the cost of attacking the city is too great, and it is not a life-and-death national antagonism, in the final analysis, it is the contradiction between the ruling class of the court and the ruled class. In the future, it will still have to be built. Thinking of this, Zhao Rong slapped the table and decided to do what Brother Zhou wanted.

Cui Taishou guarded 5,000 soldiers, guarding eight avenues in and out of the county seat of Yancheng County, and Liu Yuanzhi divided 5,000 troops to guard more than 20 small roads by his generals. Zhou Boren persuaded him to surrender, because most of the rebels in the city were from Yancheng County, native to their hometown, and easy to talk to. And the rest, make siege tools in case they need it.

After breakfast the next day, Zhou Boren took the people who were originally guarding the village, plus the black-clothed guards led by Zheng Gonggong, as well as Zhao Rong, Liu Jingsheng and others. Set off towards the county seat.

The gates of the county town were closed, and after the previous internal war, the explosion caused nearly 2,000 casualties. Sun Yuji, the leader of the Cardinal Sect, reorganized the interior, mixed the people who were divided into Huaiyin and Yancheng, and the troops of Jia Junwei, plus the old, weak, sick and disabled, barely managed enough for 8,000 people. Rush repairs were also carried out on the city walls.

At this moment, Captain Jia stood majestically at the head of the city, he now held the power of the army, and was named the former army commander by Sect Master Sun. Seeing Zhou Boren coming over, he ordered the whole army to be on alert.

But Zhou Boren walked to a place about 100 cloths away from the city, and he didn't leave. It made him very depressed.

Zhou Boren ordered everyone to shout, "Listen, His Royal Highness the Emperor has led an army of 30,000 to the East China Sea, and the road in and out of the East China Sea has been blocked by the army of the imperial court,"

When the people on the city wall heard this, there were 30,000 people on the other side, and they began to riot. Lieutenant Jia ordered, "Don't listen to his nonsense, our Cardinal Sect has won the battle in Lanling, and the rebels from all over the country are ready to receive us,"

When Zhou Boren saw the people on the city wall, he began to riot and said, "Those who followed His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson, in addition to the 30,000 troops of the Xiaocai Battalion, and the 10,000 people brought by the Taishou of Xuzhou, have also arrived." At the same time, Langya County, Jiaoxi County, Dangyang County and other Taishou have already commanded soldiers on the way to come, do you still remember the Zhangjiao Uprising back then? How powerful the Yellow Turban Army is, but the county guards everywhere, seeing that there is an opportunity to quell the chaos, slaughter the rebellious people like crazy, and then let themselves strengthen their strength and be promoted. Do you think your power is greater than that of the Yellow Turbans? ”

When everyone heard about the Yellow Turban Uprising, their hearts shuddered, yes, how powerful the Yellow Turban Army uprising was back then, but in the end, they were strangled by the Taishou assassination history in various places, what can we thousands of people do. The riots are deeper.

Seeing that everyone's minds were moved, Lieutenant Jia ordered, "Don't listen to his nonsense anymore, if you disobey, you will be killed." ”

Zhou Boren also said, "His Royal Highness, the emperor is benevolent and loves the people, those who surrender within three days will not be blamed for the past, and the army will all strangle the traitors after three days." ”

When the crowd heard this, they were in an uproar. Lieutenant Jia shouted, "Zhou Boren, you old boy, don't talk nonsense, we all have blood on our hands, how can the court let us go." ”

Zhou Boren said again, "The imperial grandson also said that the people of Yancheng do not fight the people of Yancheng, and those who surrender will be given the passage fee, and if they can tie up the sect leader, they will be rewarded with 5,000 taels of silver, and if they can tie up the captain of Jia County, they will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver." Feudal marquis. As an official of the imperial court, Captain Jia eats the imperial court and wears the imperial court, and takes the imperial court's money, but he kills the imperial court official and slaughters the people of Yancheng County, deserve to die. ”

When Lieutenant Jia heard it, "Damn, what do you mean?" Am I worth more than the Master? ”

When I looked at the eyes of the hand next to me, I looked like a big fat sheep.

Lieutenant Jia put his heart sideways, capture the thief first to capture the king, shoot the man first and shoot the horse first. First destroy Zhou Boren, the source of chaos. took a bow and shot arrows, and with all the strength of his body, he shot towards Zhou Boren.

Zhou Boren was still giving an impassioned speech, and he was caught off guard and was shot in the chest by an arrow. fell off the horse, and Zhao Rong and several people hurried to help him. Ge Hong stepped forward and said urgently, "Don't move, the arrows are poisonous." Go back quickly. ”
