The evidence didn't need to be sent to Huo Wu and them, but this Shou Tianwan's plan in Luzhou was to let Huo Wu know.

Calculate the time, the Chuzhou army has been assembled.

Deng Jian arranged for someone to return to Hanshan County to deliver the letter.

……

At the night banquet that night, the officials and gentry of Luzhou saw Deng Jian, Shui Jin, Huo Bao and others.

The Chuzhou army has changed its clothes.

The armor is still the same as before, but in addition to the armor, there are more white vests.

Confused people are still speculating.

"Is this for the old capital to wear filial piety?"

"It can't be that the prefect has an accident, right?"

"Oops, it's too bright."

Wise people know pretty much what they know.

"White dog? White Shirts? ”

"These are two adults who have become bandits?"

"It must be the Chaohu water thief who is ......"

More than 30 families gathered together, and they all looked at each other.

Old man Qiao sat on crutches with a pale face.

Things got to the worst.

Whether it is the resurgence of Maitreya disciples in Luzhou, or the re-ashore of Chaohu sailors, this Luzhou is no longer under the rule of the imperial court.

Others can vote for white shirts, but the Qiao family can't afford to vote, unless he doesn't care about the future of his second son.

No wonder the gates of the city are closed today, and the whole city is searched.

……

For a while, officials such as Luzhou Tongzhi and Luzhou Tongju surrounded Deng Jian, Shui Jin, Huo Bao and others and came slowly.

Everyone stood up to greet each other, looked at these people, and guessed the identities of these people.

Luzhou Tongzhi didn't sell Guanzi, and said directly: "This is General Deng and General Shui under Marshal Huo of Chuzhou......"

As for Huo Bao's young age, he did not identify himself in front of the two, and the Tongzhi and general judgment of Luzhou regarded him as Deng Jian's junior, and did not specifically introduce him.

"How is Chuzhou?"

"It's a Chuzhou white shirt?"

"General Deng? The Quyang County Lieutenant who expelled the White Shirts and voted for the White Shirts? ”

Everyone was shocked and exchanged words for a while.

Deng Jian sat down on the main seat.

Shui Jin and Huo Bao sat under Deng Jian.

All three were much more relaxed than they had been in the morning.

What about the 100,000 population of Luyang City?

The whole city searched for a day, and the civilian ordnance was almost confiscated.

Dangerous elements like the Liu family have been eradicated.

Even if someone tosses again, they can't make a big move.

Seeing that Deng Jian and the others didn't speak, he took the two letters and told everyone about Shou Tianwan's plot against Luzhou.

"The generals of the Chaohu Water Division have been wronged, and they don't want to bear the stigma, so they ask the Chuzhou army to enter Luzhou to help ......"

Speaking of this, Luzhou Tongzhi sighed and said: "Chaohu Shui Shi is a child of Luzhou, and the 40,000 soldiers of the government are also children of Luzhou, so why bother to fight in the same room...... If under the auspices of Marshal Huo of Chuzhou, this matter can be resolved peacefully, it will be the blessing of Luzhou! ”

The Luzhou gentry cursed in their hearts.

Chaohu water thieves should be damned, isn't this luring wolves into the house?

It's easy to please God, but it's hard to send God!

He also scolded the prefect of Luzhou for being foolish and filial, the filial son did not act like this, loyal and loyal, loyal and filial piety, loyal and still in front of filial piety, why did he forget his parents' official identity and treat the people under his rule as grass mustard?

scolded Shou Tianwan for not being a thing, rebelling when he returned to his hometown, and even thinking about Luzhou, thousands of miles away?

As for the Chuzhou army, it was unconsciously put behind.

Across Hezhou, he stretched out his hand to Luzhou, and he was not afraid of choking?

There is also this Luzhou Zhizhou and Luzhou general judgment, so this Chuzhou army was lowered?

Can't you fight and struggle?

If there is no search and disarming, there will be no one to make a fuss.

There is that one in the front, and there is an example of the Liu family being exterminated, who dares to say nothing.

It's Old Man Qiao, trembling and long, and he doesn't mean to make a head bird.

Uncle Qiao sat behind the old man, already dumbfounded, obviously thinking of his own predicament.

A meal tastes the same as chewing wax.

It wasn't until the banquet was about to be held that Deng Jian spoke: "The Chuzhou army has always been benevolent, and it doesn't want to make it difficult for strongmen, and it doesn't leave half-hearted people...... Tomorrow morning, the gates of the city shall be opened for three hours, and they shall be left to their own convenience...... It's just that now it's wartime, and in order to prevent gangsters from causing chaos, the upper limit of the population of each household going out of the city is 100, and the number of cars is 100......"

The hall was full of silence.

Old Man Qiao's face became paler.

Uncle Qiao's eyes were shining.

The heads of the other families looked at each other and thought about each other.

Things are expensive to leave their hometowns, and people are cheap to leave their hometowns.

But as long as they can stay, who is willing to drag their families and leave their hometowns?

Henan Province is in chaos, Huainan Province is also in chaos, and sooner or later Luzhou will also be in chaos.

It is not a good thing to change the master quietly in this way, without war.

……

That night, many people stayed up all night.

Go, how to go?

Stay, how to stay?

Everyone couldn't get along directly with the Chuzhou army, so they went to the two private houses of Luzhou Tongzhi and Luzhou Tongju and begged the two for guidance.

Luzhou Tongzhi saw his busy posture, and he didn't feel it, only worried.

Now he only hopes that everyone's wife will be peaceful and Luzhou will have a smooth transition, otherwise he will be implicated if there is an incident.

"The Chuzhou army has always treated the gentry well, and it has long been rumored that many of the children of the Chuzhou gentry are serving in ......the Chuzhou army."

"The Chuzhou army has already occupied Hezhou, and I don't hear the movement of Hezhou, so I think it will take over peacefully."

"Chuzhou's military law is strict, and there is no disturbance to the people, so you should also see and hear it with your own eyes."

"Jiangnan is in chaos, and the court can't take care of Huang Huai, so the world, it is also a good thing for the people of Luzhou to be protected by the Chuzhou army."

Speaking of which, Luzhou Tongzhi persuaded himself.

actually felt that it was better for the Chuzhou army to directly take over Luzhou by letting the prefect mess around and forcing the Chaohu sailors to go ashore to fight for their lives.

……

The general judgment of Luzhou is not as tactful as the prefect of Luzhou, and the answer is very straightforward.

"What about the rest of the private property? What can I do? Everyone has run away, and the industry will naturally be confiscated! ”

"What kind of daydream do you want to take your descendants south and keep your concubines to look after your family? Didn't General Deng say that you don't want people with two hearts. ”

"How about going out? What else, life and death are fate! ”

"Where are you going? Feel free, the world is in a mess anyway, and it can't be better to run anywhere! ”

The two are soft and hard, but the results are much the same.

In addition to the two outdoor households, those whose ancestral home is in Jiangnan packed their bags and rushed to the city gate the next day and went out of the city smoothly.

The other old surnames in Luzhou did not move.

Including Qiao's family.

"Can't go...... Gone children and grandchildren are like rootless duckweed......"

It's just that you can't just vote for the Chuzhou white shirt, who knows if the Chuzhou army can stand on its feet.

The people can still be called innocent if they are rebellious, but this official eunuch is rebellious, and there is really no good end for the court to pursue it.

"I'm already at this age, and I've been sick for many days, and I have enjoyed the blessing of leaving early...... You can use the funeral to wait and see for a few days...... '77' is over, and the victory or defeat of several parties should also be settled......"

If the Chuzhou army gains a foothold, Uncle Qiao's defection is also a way out for his children and grandchildren; If Chuzhou doesn't stand on its feet, then wait and see.

Uncle Qiao cried and begged for dissuasion.

Old Man Qiao insisted on going his own way, and swallowed gold after explaining the big things.

The funeral letter was transmitted to the Luzhou Mansion, and Deng Jian was disgusted enough: "Being old and not dying is a thief!" ”

Although he let the gentry choose for himself, in order to prevent accidents, he also made people watch.

Where can such a movement be hidden?

With the Qiao family taking the lead, the other two families who didn't want to leave their hometown and didn't want to return to the Chuzhou Army also mourned that day.

Deng Jian's temper, where can he stand such a fool?

Immediately ordered the arrest of the heads of the three families, beheaded for the crime of "killing relatives", confiscated their family property, and the children of their families were used in hard labor camps.

Do you want to say that you are wronged?

Make noodles.

These three old people, swallowing gold, hanging themselves, and taking poison, none of them died normally.

If you want to say that you are not wronged, it is not them who call the shots.

keeps saying that he is innocent, but in order to understand the temporary predicament, he can't bear to let his parents kill himself, where is he a good person?

Even if these people voted for the Chuzhou army, they couldn't be used.

"This is shameless!"

Deng Jian directly taught Huo Bao and Shui Jin: "A Liu family is in front, and they can't be afraid, so that people who are not interested don't have to stay!" ”

The gentry of Luzhou were silent.

Who would have thought that the seemingly good-tempered Chuzhou Army would shoot so quickly and ruthlessly.

These three families, together with the previous six or seven, in two days, more than a dozen gentry families were wiped out.

It's really scary.

Each family was as quiet as a chicken, and did not dare to make any moves, for fear of arousing the suspicion of the Chuzhou army.

……

The two families who dragged their families out of the city smoothly, but they turned back in less than an hour.

I want to cry without tears.

It was back by boat.

Chaohu Lake Sailor is out of Chaohu Lake.

General An Yong, the commander of the right army of the Chaohu Water Division, who went to the Chuzhou army for help, personally led the army from Feishui to the city of Luyang.

Five hundred warships were densely packed across the fat water.

Another sailor scout came ashore to inquire about the news of Luyang, which happened to block the two families who went out of the city.

Knowing that the Chuzhou army occupied Luzhou yesterday, An Yong was both admired and uneasy.

admired the Chuzhou army's speed, but it was uneasy that it was originally said that the Chaohu Water Division would cooperate with the Chuzhou army to attack the city, which was too late.

The prefect's yamen got the news here.

Deng Jian took Shui Jin, Huo Bao and others to greet him.

Standing on the city wall, looking at the warships on the fat water, the eyes of the three of them were shining.

This is the Chaohu Water Division, and it will be the Chuzhou Army's Water Division in the future.

With the Chaohu Water Division, the Chuzhou Army's conquest is not limited to Huainan.

Luzhou Tongzhi and Luzhou Tongzhi also came, but they were worried.

I am afraid that the Chaohu sailors will move to Luyang and attack the city.

Deng Jian had already asked someone to open the sluice gate and let the Yongzao ship enter the city.

An Yong took a few lieutenants and hurriedly got off the boat: "I was too late, and I almost delayed the general's big business!" ”

Deng Jian waved his hand and said, "It's okay!" It was Lao Deng who was anxious and went faster all the way. ”

It has only been three and a half days since An Yong went to Hezhou for help.

Among them, there is also the time for An Yong to return to the Chaohu Water Division, and it is already fast to dispatch so many ships at once.

Anyway, Luzhou City is in hand.

All that remains is for the Chaohu sailors to go ashore and make a detour to the mouth of the Yangtze River.

In the past two days, the Chuzhou army requisitioned civilian boats from Yanjiang counties and waited for Chaohu Lake to die.

At that time, the outside of the country will be able to destroy the fleet in Beiguan.

An Yong did not delay, and after greeting Deng Jian, Shui Jin and others, he planned to take the boat south to Feishui directly.

This is to send the sailors to land near Beiguan, so that they can go south from there to the river.

Deng Jian ordered Shui Jin, Huo Bao, Ma Juzi and others to stay in Luzhou, and he brought 3,000 soldiers and horses, escorted artillery wagons, crossbow carts, and thousands of stone grain, and boarded the ship directly to Beiguan to join Huo Wu and others......
