In the evening, the corpses in the Hutuo River had been salvaged ashore, and as the weather warmed up, the corpses would pollute the water source and cause various plagues, so Chang Yu ordered all the corpses to be buried in deep pits away from the water source.

After all, Li Zicheng's main force had actually secretly retreated south, judging from Wu Ruyi's men and horses, he was definitely only a hundred miles away from here at this time, so Huang Degong waved his hand and sprinkled countless exploration horses, and any wind and grass within a radius of fifty miles could not be let go.

Huang Degong's ministry was ordered to continue to garrison the south bank of the Hutuo River, and Ma Shiyao's ministry of Toucheng entered Zhending Mansion to defend the city.

In this regard, Chang Yu patiently persuaded that the thief army was unstable at the beginning of the army, and the icing on the cake was the icing on the cake when the battle began, and he hoped that they would be alone and don't even think about it now, let them defend the line If Li Zicheng attacks strongly, these people will run away, not to mention that at this time, the two main generals are killed and injured, and they must appease the army.

After saying some reason, the generals were in good spirits, and then Chang Yu, together with Huang Degong and others, led the fourth battalion of Dongchang into the city to visit the injured Ma Shiyao.

Ma Shiyao was seriously injured and did not die, but he also had to lie down for a few months, at this time he had already woken up and learned that Ren Jirong was suffering from gains and losses in bed after his death, whether his choice was right or not, what if the court suddenly turned his face and did not admit it, he was seriously injured at this time, and they took the opportunity to kill people and seize power.

When I was worried, I heard that Chang Yu, the governor of Dongchang, and Huang Degong, the chief soldier, had come to visit, and I was suddenly startled and was thinking about whether to refuse to see him without waking up for some reason, when I heard a voice outside: "Wushan Bo has ever woken up?" ”

Ma Shiyao couldn't help but sigh secretly, people have been free to enter and exit, so don't mess around...... So he hurriedly struggled to get up, and said bitterly: "But Lord Overseer, please, please, please......"

"I have admired the name of Wushan Bo for a long time, and now it is a blessing for the court to abandon the secret to benefit the country and the people......" Chang Yu entered the inner room and sat on the bed, stroked his hand, praised him for his first contribution in today's battle, and vowed to repay the court for Ma Shiyao's meritorious service, and waited for the reward, Ma Shiyao was grateful repeatedly, and the two said something again, and Chang Yu left.

He left with his front foot, and the security of Ma Shiyao's small courtyard was taken over by Li Tiezhu of the palace word camp, and anyone with a discerning eye knew what was going on.

"Overseer, why don't you just kill and seize power, just take advantage of his serious injury, and his subordinates will not suspect it" Out of the courtyard, Chang Yu stood with his hands behind his back, and Hu Ling asked quietly beside him.

Chang Yu smiled silently, looking at the infinite light in the western sky, Li Muxian's eyes rolled: "The overseer is worried about the instability of the army, and it is just when he is employing people this time, it is ominous ......to kill him."

Chang Yu nodded lightly: "At least after Li Zicheng passes."

"That being the case, I think it's better to withdraw our manpower" Li Muxian glanced at Li Tiezhu's subordinates outside the courtyard, Chang Yu was stunned, and then he realized and waved his hand to Li Tiezhu.

Zhending City is the city of Fu, and the rest of the month is occupied by the thief army, but because Li Zicheng bought the hearts of the people, he strictly ordered not to plunder, raid and disturb the ordinary people, but there was no great evil, but in the past two days, the people outside the city have been in turmoil, and the soldiers have been in turmoil for a while, and two battles have been fought outside the city one after another, which has made the people in the city panic.

In the evening, I saw the thief army enter the city again, and unexpectedly these thieves suddenly shouted that they were officers and soldiers, and the people felt inexplicable, but they seemed to have really become more honest.

Soon they reacted, these thieves seemed to have really surrendered to the officers and soldiers, and the reason why they suddenly became honest was not because they had changed their identities, and the officers and soldiers did no less to attack and harass the people than the thieves, but because there were hundreds of heavily armored cavalry patrolling in the city, and if they found that they disturbed the people, they would not be forgiven!

Chang Yu unconsciously subtly indirectly took over the city defense, although the city defense is still those thieves who surrendered to the city, but the patrol team on the street is the fourth battalion of the East Factory, and the supervisors of the various gates in the city are also the people of the East Factory.

Chang Yu first stabilized the morale of the army in the city, praised them for their sincerity, and the evil of the past was not to blame, and the meritorious service in this battle should be rewarded, in addition to the private gains, the court has another reward......

Then he went everywhere to appease the people, and invited the squires who were lucky enough to survive to a banquet to appease and show their true colors......

In fact, Ma Shiyao, as the boss of the thief army, has gained a lot along the way, and countless grains, grasses and property are hoarded in the city, of course, at this time, they have been taken over by the people of Dongchang, and then distributed to reward meritorious soldiers after statistics.

After some tossing, it was getting late, and after the wine and food were exhausted, Chang Yu invited everyone into the hall of the government to drink tea and discuss whether Li Zicheng would besiege the city when he arrived soon, and how to block it in the face of his main army, whether Li Yan had already begun to move troops to pursue at this time......

Until late at night, Huang Degong left the city and went to the riverside camp, Chang Yu sent him outside the west city gate, Huang Degong was a little worried: "Ma Shiyao's army is unstable, and the Lord Governor should pay more attention in the city."

Chang Yu chuckled: "Are you afraid that they will suddenly burst out, take me and then go to the thief, so that the thief will not only not ask for the crime, but will be rewarded?" ”

Huang Degong snorted: "I have to guard against it, the overseer has too few troops in the city, why don't you send another group of men and horses into the city?" ”。

Chang Yu shook his head in denial, with an indifferent expression: "Now there is no turning back for Ma Shiyao, and although there are few people in this governor, the four battalions under his command are all elite, and at this time, all the critical places in the city are under the control of this governor, even if someone moves his mind, he can't turn over the big waves."

The palace battalion patrols the city, the black tiger battalion is in charge of the four city gates, the black wolf battalion takes care of the material warehouse, and the black panther battalion fully takes over the security of the government office.

And Ma Shiyao and some of his cronies live in the mansion, if the outside world is really tempted, not to mention whether they can pass the Black Panther Camp, they have to consider the safety of their boss.

After sending Huang Degong out of the city, Chang Yu did not rush back to the palace, but took Guo Ren and other guards to patrol around the streets of the city, there was a curfew in the city, except for the patrol, there were no idle people on the streets, it seemed that the wind and waves were calm, but the guards did not dare to be careless, Li Muxian, Chen Wangting and others were all vigilant and looked around, and the archers such as Guo Ren were even more bows and arrows as if facing a great enemy.

"The overseer should go back to the mansion as soon as possible, it is not appropriate to stay outside for a long time at this time" Li Muxian reminded in a low voice, Chang Yu's identity is special, Ma Shiyao's ministry has just descended, and the main general is seriously injured, it is not excluded that some people are tempted.

Chang Yu nodded, then walked towards the mansion, and suddenly asked, "What about Wuzhong?" ”

"Go to the granary to find Lao Jiu" Qiao Sanxiu said softly, the granary is in the west of the city, and there is a grain and grass property looted by Ma Shiyao's department, which was originally guarded by his own soldiers and has been taken over by the Black Wolf Battalion at this time.

"This kid ......" Chang Yu smiled, guessing that Wu Zhong must have asked Lao Jiu to inquire about the details of the conflict between Hejian Mansion and Liu Zeqing, he was restless for several days since he heard that the whereabouts of the black wolf camp were unknown in Baoding City, and he almost cried with joy when he saw him today.

After returning to the mansion, although the night was deep Chang Yu did not feel sleepy at all, after thinking about it, he whispered a few words to Li Tiezhu, and after a while, he heard the movement outside, and went to the lobby, and saw a person standing in the hall, when the person saw him, he immediately scolded: "Dog eunuch, I can't spare you if I am a ghost, if you are still a character, then give the master a good time" This person is the captured thief Li Guo.

"Li Guo, this governor respects you as a character, after capturing you, he has never insulted you with courtesy, at this time he is looking for you to talk to you late at night, if you don't know how to say anything disrespectful, this governor should let people knock out your teeth, strip you naked and then tour the streets of the city, you can be trusted!" Chang Yu sneered, picked up the teacup and took a sip gently.

"You ......" Li Guo was furious and wanted to scold, and suddenly thought that if he was really humiliated like this, it would be better to live than to die, so he said coldly: "Dongchang has always been ruthless and inhumane, so naturally everything can be done."

"It's good if you know" Chang Yu motioned to Li Tiezhu and untied him, Li Tiezhu hesitated, Chang Yu laughed: "There are a lot of masters in front of this governor's hall, what waves can he turn."

This is right, although Li Guo has superb martial arts, but at this time, which one of Chang Yu's subordinates in the hall is not a big master, Li Muxian, Qiao Sanxiu, Chen Wangting, Jiang Fa...... Pulling out a random one is enough for him to keep busy.
