Chapter 191: What a mighty and unyielding general!

The egg hurts!

Not to mention anything else, this Uncle Zhang is a famous upright and loyal person in the Great Song Dynasty, and the prince added fuel and vinegar to put all the faults on Zhang Shuye, plus the processing of the ministers, Zhang Shuye must be more auspicious.

Ay! Zhongliang is having a hard time in the imperial court! No, I have to save him, as for how to save him, let's talk about it in Jeju.

Hu Yanzhuo was already angry with civil officials and eunuchs, and he didn't want to inhale a stomach as soon as he arrived in Jeju. These eunuchs were also too presumptuous, and the prince actually imprisoned Uncle Zhang in Jeju Prison at night, along with his two sons and his general Yao Zhongyou, on charges of fornication and thieves.

Zhang Shuye is at least the prefect of Jeju, or the commander-in-chief of the bandit soldiers and horses, and if he doesn't see the holy decree, he actually dares to put him in prison privately, and he really thinks that the emperor is his relative.

"Joke! The fornication thief will run to Jeju for you to arrest, and it's not that you, the dead eunuch, shirk his responsibilities and bite people indiscriminately! ”

Although Hu Yanzhuo thought so in his heart, he didn't say it explicitly, he just dealt with it casually, anyway, they needed me to send someone to escort them. Who knew that the next sentence of the prince made Hu Yan's scalp frightened, and secretly called this dead eunuch too crazy and vicious in his heart.

It turned out that the prince saw that Uncle Zhang had killed Ganban and Yu Hou at night, and he had a murderous opportunity in his heart, and now the failure of the bandit suppression was a good time to fall into the well, he was afraid that Uncle Zhang would make a comeback after returning to Beijing, so he simply cut the grass and eradicated the roots, killed Uncle Zhang and sent the head to the capital.

Hu Yanzhuo's heart was full of anger, he wanted to cut the prince into eight pieces, how many loyal and good people were so cruel by you. But if you turn your face now, not only will you not be able to save Uncle Zhang, but you will also be trapped in it, so you have to think of a proper way.

He pretended to agree with the prince's suggestion and said: "Father-in-law is wise, this kind of scum should be like this!" Kill him in no hurry today, wait for the day of the army's attack, cut down the sacrificial flag, in order to set an example! ”

As soon as the prince heard the great joy, someone sent a pillow when he fell asleep, and just now he was afraid of killing the minister indiscriminately, and the saint blamed him, and now he has a cushion. Uncle Zhang was killed by Huyan and had nothing to do with our family, so he smiled with a smile on his face: "It's good to kill the sacrificial flag!" Kill the sacrificial flag! After General Huyan deserves to be a famous general, he always thinks about the Great Song Dynasty Jiangshan Sheji! ”

Hu Yanzhuo said a few polite words, and then returned to the army, thinking about it and having no clue, how to rescue Uncle Zhang. He thought that Uncle Zhang's today might be Hu Yanzhuo's tomorrow, these eunuchs have a lot of tricks, and the means of harming people are first-class. Thinking of this, a murderous aura suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he asked his subordinates to bring some gifts to invite the prince to the banquet.

Wang Gonggong's heart blossomed, sensible people are different, and his heart for Hu Yanzhuo's embankment instantly came to naught, and he drank several cups with Hu Yanzhuo, Han Tao, and Peng Xi.

Hu Yanzhuo suggested that the post of prefect of Jeju be temporarily replaced by the prince, and wait for the prefect sent by the imperial court to take over, and the rest of the people would be in charge of fighting, but it would also have to be carried out under the leadership of the supervising army. Hu Yanzhuo continued to tout the great achievements of the prison army, and the prince was even more excited.

When the wine was drunk, Hu Yanzhuo suddenly proposed to go with the prince to see the terrain in order to suppress the bandits. The prince promised that there was a large army to protect him, so why be afraid. Hu Yanzhuo asked Han Peng and the others to stay in the camp, and set off with fifty horsemen alone.

An hour later, the prince was carried back, and an arrow went through the back of his neck and pierced his throat, and he was already dead. Hu Yanzhuo was grief-stricken, he didn't want to meet thieves on the road, and during the retreat, the prince was hit by a stray arrow and died heroically.

He immediately wrote an official document and sent it to the court as soon as possible to apply for a bereavement pension for the prince.

Xu Ning understood that when the encirclement was reduced, even the Heavenly King Lao Tzu would not be able to save himself. Now it is necessary to break through the siege and fight a bloody road to Jeju and join the large army. He urged him to sit down and chase after Xuanhuang, and picked up the hook and sickle to kill left and right, so he became very dazzling on the battlefield.

Guo Sheng and Chen Da rode their horses and rushed over to fight with him, and the three of them fought evenly together, and suddenly, Shi Jin stepped forward with a knife and joined the battle group. Even if Xu Ning is a hero, he is also invincible with two fists and four hands, in order to avoid the Pu knife cut by Shi Jin, he can only fall off the horse, and the result can only be captured.

The main general was captured, and the forbidden army had no fighting spirit, so they all enthusiastically raised their hands and surrendered, and the soldiers of Qingfeng Mountain and Erlong Mountain were left to clean up the battlefield and escort the prisoners. Everything was ready, Li Zhong and Zhou Tong came to thank him, and when they saw Xu Ning who was bound, Li Zhong was furious and wanted to kill him to relieve the hatred in his heart. Please net

Wen Huanzhang stopped: "General Xu Ning is a good man, it is a pity to kill him, he should be sent to Liangshanbo to ask Commander Song to send it." ”

Shi Jin and Zhu Wu both agreed, and Li Zhong could only give up.

Before leaving, Li Zhong sent the looted grain and grass, and asked Shi Jin to bring a message, Taohuashan was willing to belong to Liangshanbo.

Uncle Zhang sat firmly in the military tent at night, silently read the secret letter that Hu Yanzhuo found from the prince to expose his crimes to the imperial court, and did not get angry, but sighed lightly, showing a kind of helplessness, it seems that everything is similar to his expectations.

He said blankly: "If you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse, these eunuchs love to play this kind of trick, let him go, leave everything to future generations!" ”

Hu Yanzhuo burned the secret letter and said: "Ji Zhong shouldn't be so depressed, now that the prison army is dead, without these bullshit secret letters, it is much safer to go to the capital." Ji Zhong should cheer up and look forward to a comeback, and the Great Song Dynasty Sheji will not be a virtuous minister like you. ”

Uncle Zhang sighed at night, feeling sad and indignant, and said angrily: "Your Majesty was deceived by the mediocre ministers, and the Great Song Dynasty has already abandoned me, why should I deceive myself and be a moth to fight fire!" ”

Hearing this, Hu Yanzhuo frowned and said, "Ji Zhong must not be like this!" Think about how much the Yang family and my Huyan family have been wronged when I first built the dynasty, and still maintain a heart to serve the country. Now that you have been wronged less than one, why are you so decadent? It is precisely because the traitors are in power that you and I should cheer up and do our best for the country, otherwise how can we be worthy of God's grace? How to be worthy of the parents and villagers who live in fire and water? ”

Uncle Zhang's face was ashamed at night, he couldn't help but look at Hu Yanzhuo a few more times, after being loyal, he was really unambiguous, and his admiration arose. He had a lot of complaints about the prince being hit by an arrow before, and what impact did the death of a pawn have on the entire court, but now he has figured it out, he is protecting Zhongliang and declaring war on the ministers, a mighty and unyielding general!

So Uncle Zhang arched his hand and said: "Let General Huyan down, Ji Zhong will never live up to the general's hospitality!" The general's purpose is to suppress the bandits, and Ji Zhong is now telling the general in detail about the advantages of the Liangshan Bo thieves! ”

Hu Yanzhuo was overjoyed and said: "This is the blessing of the Great Song Dynasty, and the young general is willing to hear about it!" ”

Uncle Zhang said: "The thief has two kinds of weapons that are extremely powerful, one is a hard crossbow that can be fired continuously, which can penetrate two people, especially the divine arm bow. The other is a gunpowder weapon, which they carry with them, pull the strings and throw them, and the explosion is extremely powerful. General Huyan must take precautions when fighting, so as not to leave regrets! Moreover, the fighting quality of thieves is extremely high. It stands to reason that they are a rabble, and they can't make a climate, but they have noses and eyes when they fight, as if they have been professionally trained. They have never been brave, they don't fight alone, they all advance and retreat together as a team! ”

"Hmmm! I've heard about this before, and I've been on guard against it. ”

Hu Yanzhuo nodded and said: "When I came, I brought countless armor, swords, guns, and hundreds of artillery pieces in the armor warehouse, and I was going to let the chain of armored horses, men and horses all wear three layers of armor, and every thirty horses were connected together, and rushed into the enemy formation under the cover of artillery fire." If the thief dares to fight, he will be told not to leave a piece of armor! ”

Zhang Shuye continued: "The thieves also have a headache combat characteristics, that is, raiding, although this style of play cannot be put on the table, but it is very effective, and the fight makes our army fearful, and if you want to fight a decisive battle, you can't see anyone. In addition, if the thief does not shrink and cannot come out, he must use a boat, and now the ships in Jeju have almost been requisitioned. ”

Hu Yanzhuo said: "If he can't shrink back, I will go to the court to build a warship and come to help!" ”

Uncle Zhang nodded with satisfaction: "That's very good!" ”

The two talked for a few more hours, and Zhang Shuye felt that Hu Yanzhuo understood Liang Shanbo's tactics clearly, so he got up to say goodbye and entered Beijing with his guilt, and Hu Yanzhuo sent fifty soldiers to escort him. Yao Zhongyou has no intention of being an official, and is willing to lead the horse for Uncle Zhang at night and go with him.

At this point, Hu Yanzhuo dispatched troops on the one hand, ready to attack Liangshanbo at any time; On the other hand, he sent people to contact Xu Ning who rescued Qingzhou, and rushed to the rescue after the siege was lifted, and jointly suppressed the thieves in Liangshan.
