Chapter 544: Nothing for Nothing
In the city of Chengdu, the political envoy of Sichuan, the mansion where Mu Sheng lived was crowded, and countless cars and horses could not move, so people had to walk. Servants carrying boxes and burden-bearers can be seen everywhere, and the things that people carry are tied with red satin, and there is a joyful scene.
It's really better to count people than to be counted by heaven! Duan Yang, who was in the corner of the roadside, saw such a scene and sighed indignantly.
Her messy hair, her eyes showed hatred and anger, and her teeth couldn't help but cluck......
Last year, Mu Sheng's son Mu Bin died in the hands of Duan Yang's family! She took advantage of Duan Xue to deceive Mu Bin and others from the Jingshi's mansion, and set up an ambush to assassinate Mu Bin!
Duan Yang's attempt to do this not only thought that she could take revenge on the people of the Mu family, but also felt that she could have the opportunity to provoke the relationship between the Mu Mansion and the imperial court, so that the Mu Mansion would eventually perish the entire clan! How could he have thought that Mu Sheng made a mistake and defected to the command of King Han, who had a grudge with Mu Fu...... Now that the Han Wangfu is still going to win?
All this happened, Duan Yang understood that he had a great deal to do with it!
And Mu Sheng did almost nothing. After being forced to the side of King Han, the only thing Mu Sheng did was to take the Lingguan Road from Yunnan to Chengdu Mansion in Sichuan, and then he has been enjoying himself in this rich Jinguan City! Sit back and enjoy what you get!
I heard that Mu Sheng accepted a lot of concubines, and several leaders on the side of Jianchang Tusi gave her sisters and daughters. Recently, the Han Dynasty army of Huguang won a complete victory, and the news spread to the Sichuan political envoy, and Mu Sheng now accepted the fifteen-year-old daughter of a local eunuch.
It was inconvenient to make a big deal about the concubine, but because of the identity of the woman, Mu Sheng invited the guests to hold a banquet to celebrate. The civil and military officials of the three divisions of Sichuan are all welcome and prepared generous gifts; Some officials and rich people who usually can't speak also took the opportunity to go to the banquet at this time and tried their best to tie up the Mu Mansion!
Seeing that there is a big enemy with blood and sweat, he only cares about playing with women, but he is prosperous and rich, and all this is because of Duan Yang's "help...... She's going crazy at the moment!
"Clank!" At this time, a passer-by actually threw two copper plates into Duan Yang's "prop" bowl.
Duan Yang was angry, reached out and grabbed the two copper plates, and endured it desperately before he didn't throw it at the passers-by.
She breathed hard, her dirty face was pale, her eyes were cold, and she frowned and thought about countermeasures...... Is there justice in God, that the wicked should be rich? There will be retribution, but the time has not yet come!
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Mu Sheng, who was full of red light, actually walked outside the gate.
Duan Yang's anger, which had just calmed down slightly, suddenly ignited again, and she couldn't wait to rush over and stab Mu Sheng to death immediately!
But Duan Yang saw that there were many cloth-clothed guards around Mu Sheng, and thought that Mu Sheng was not the only one in the Mu family, so she finally endured the hatred in her chest.
I saw the gate of the mansion in the distance, and Mu Sheng's face was about to laugh! He had long been unable to care about his aristocratic status, and his triumphant expression of cursing him to kill a thousand knives was completely written on his face.
Mu Sheng clenched his fists and shook it around, and said, "Ben Hou thank you colleagues for coming to the cold house. ”
An official next to him sang and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Han gathered in the lake|Annihilation of the army of the puppet dynasty, wise and martial, brave and brave in the world; Now the Hou Ye's house has a happy old tree to rejuvenate, which is really a double happiness! ”
"Congratulations and congratulations......" Everyone was noisy and congratulated.
Mu Sheng raised his arm and said, "Colleagues, as long as you are loyal to the King of Han, that is, loyal to the Ming Dynasty, you can enjoy peace together." ”
"Good! Good! "There was a commotion all around.
Suddenly, a young man shouted: "Master Hou, why did you know for a long time that the Han Dynasty's army could win a complete victory?" ”
Mu Sheng was a little embarrassed, and glanced over there following the voice, a trace of displeasure flashed on his face. But he soon said seriously: "The king of Han raised troops for loyalty and filial piety!" The righteous teacher, who does the way for heaven, has won the hearts of the people and will surely win a great victory; This is God's eyes, good and evil are in the hearts of the world, such a simple truth, how can Benhou not know? ”
Everyone immediately echoed and praised.
Duan Yang, who was in the far corner, was almost vomited at this time. She had already thought about it many times in her heart, the scene of snatching Mu Sheng's hypocritical mask off!
……
At this time, the west bank of the Huguang Xiangjiang River is cold from the north.
Zhu Gaoxu's ears sounded the sound of "rumbling ......" horses' hooves and the whistling wind, and the war horses galloped quickly on the road. The wind in his face was blowing like a knife, and he felt his whole face a little numb.
He was wearing two layers of armor, except for the new chain mail, the outside was still the original set of cold-forged armor. Although there are holes in the armor that have not had time to be repaired, Zhu Gaoxu has worn it for many years and repaired and adjusted it many times, and it fits very well, and he is unwilling to change the armor again. The lock ear guards on his head, which touched his flesh from time to time, were as exciting as ice cubes.
The wounds on Zhu Gaoxu's body have healed, but when he was wearing armor and riding a horse, the muscles of the wound were still a little painful. He put his left hand in front of his abdomen, avoiding force, and with his right hand grasped the reins, and galloped on his horse.
The horses ran eastward for a long time. Ahead, in the brilliant morning and evening, the black shadow of Hengzhou City towers on the horizon.
The west bank of the Xiangjiang River in Huguang Province is not very prosperous, and the largest city in addition to Changde Mansion is probably going to belong to this Hengzhou City, and the city tower is very tall.
A large infantry army formation and cavalry brigade in front appeared in sight at this time. The large array of the Han Dynasty army is like a sea of people, with swords and guns standing like clouds. It was an army of about 70,000 led by Wang Bin and 50,000 troops as the rear army. More than 100,000 people gathered in the southwest of Hengzhou City, the momentum was very magnificent, and the scene was crowded.
Wang Binjun only came to Hengzhou City today. It seems that they neither built siege fortifications nor built a camp, but Chen soldiers were under the city, and it is estimated that they want to "get it for nothing" and get this city without a fight.
Zhu Gaoxu led his own soldiers and horses to rush from the gap between the phalanxes to the large formation in front.
At this moment, many soldiers recognized Zhu Gaoxu coming, and there was soon a commotion in the big array, and people shouted: "King Han is here!" The king of Han is coming......" a noisy and messy shout, and after a while it gradually became neat. Countless soldiers in the distance raised their weapons one after another and shouted: "King Han is our king!" ”
For a time, on the vast military formation, the shouts one after another shook the earth and the scene was very enthusiastic!
In the Battle of Huguang, Zhu Gaoxu wiped out the main force of the official army in one fell swoop, claiming to be one million, and the actual strength was about 500,000! Shortly after the great victory, Zhu Gaoxu won supreme prestige in the army. Coupled with some exaggerated rumors, during this period of time, most of the soldiers of the Han Dynasty believed that Zhu Gaoxu would inevitably win the war, almost to the level of superstition.
The shouts were so loud that they made people's ears "buzz" chaotically. Zhu Gaoxu also knew that even if he wanted to open his mouth to respond to the brothers, it would be in vain. At this time, no one could hear the shouts of one or two people.
When he saw that many of his soldiers were looking this way, he stretched out his right hand and touched the saber on his left waist. He only had this weapon on him, and it was still used as a decoration.
With a "bang", Zhu Gaoxu pulled out his brand-new waist knife, raised it high into the sky, and signaled to the soldiers of the Han Dynasty. His left hand remained in his arms, and he sat upright on horseback, holding his sword to the east sun.
Seeing this, the army became more and more enthusiastic, and the huge shouting showed no sign of cessation, and the people looked at his burly figure in the morning glow as if they were gods.
After a while, Wang Bin, Zhao Ping, Lu Zhen and other generals came up to meet him. The generals turned over and dismounted first, and then they saluted in front of Zhu Gaoxu's tall horse.
"Excuse me, get on the horse." Zhu Gaoxu said casually.
Wang Bin got back on his horse and approached. He turned around and pointed to the cannons and flags on the head of the city, and said: "Early in the morning, I took a look around the city and felt that there were not many soldiers in this Hengzhou city; Two days ago, the scouts also reported that the enemy's warships had transported many people across the river. The defenders of Hengzhou are empty, and they will definitely not be able to hold it! I have sent messengers into the city to persuade them to surrender, and I will wait for them to reply, so as to save trouble......"
As soon as the words fell, there was a faint sound from the heavy city gate in the east. Zhu Gaoxu didn't have time to answer Wang Bin, so he raised his head to look, and sure enough, he saw that the city gate had been slowly opened, and the drawbridge had been lowered!
"Win! Victory ......" shouted louder, and the Han army outside the city cheered everywhere, and the banners waved in the air.
Zhu Gaoxu swallowed the words he had just answered Wang Bin, and changed his words: "Prepare to enter the city." ”
Wang Bin hugged his fists and said: "Get the order!" ”
The marchers' footmen re-formed a column under the shouts of the generals, and marched towards the city gate one after another. Zhu Gaoxu and the generals then rode towards the city gate.
A red-robed official led a group of officials wearing cyan and green round-necked robes, all of them bowed down to the side of the avenue. When Wang Bin's banner of the Chinese army arrived at the city gate, those officials succumbed to the ground, and the red-robed officials raised the official seal of Hengzhou City with both hands.
Zhu Gaoxu reined in his horse, turned over and dismounted and pressed the big seal that the official held up to the top of his head, and said very skillfully: "Wait until you wake up to the righteousness, abandon the darkness and turn to the light; Caring for the people and taking the initiative to donate the city to avoid the misery of the living souls should be rewarded! Now that the officials are still reinstated, they all get up. ”
Although Zhu Gaoxu said this kind of thing more than once, he was like reciting lines; However, the officials on the Hengzhou side have not heard of it. At this time, their faces showed a look of gratitude, and they all bowed their hands and said, "Welcome to King Han" Yunyun.
Entering the city, Zhu Gaoxu saw that the scene of Hengzhou City at this time was not bad. The streets are wide and flat, and pavilions can be seen everywhere.
In the Ming Dynasty, waterways were still the most convenient transportation. Hengzhou City is located at the confluence of the Xiangjiang River and its tributaries, with convenient water transportation; It is also a waterway hub connecting Huguang Province and the two Guangbu political envoys, so it is relatively rich.
Zhu Gaoxu turned back to the generals and said, "This city is very good! ”
