On the evening of the second day of September, Huo Bao, Shui Jin, and General Yin arrived in Hezhou.

From Binjiang came more than 100 roads, and met people and horses returning to Binjiang Majesty halfway.

Last night's night attack, Hezhou Zhizhou led the crowd to surrender, and Hezhou arrived.

Huo Bao's heart suddenly steadied down.

He had already regretted yesterday that he had neglected those two guns.

As early as when he returned to Chuzhou from Bozhou, he ordered people to send artillery to Hezhou first.

With this siege, the shock is enough.

If you're lucky, you can aim at one place and fire a cannon, and you can't say that you can collapse a section of the city wall.

Up and down the city of Hezhou, all of them have been taken over by the Chuzhou army.

In order to stabilize and prevent people from fleeing and making trouble, the city gates are still closed.

I saw a large group of people coming from afar.

They were all in white shirts.

The sentries on the walls were alert.

The Chuzhou army from all over the country gathered in Hezhou, who is this?

When he faintly saw the flag in front of him, with the word "water" on it, the sentry cheered: "It's like the flag of the water general!" ”

A Qu Chang next to him frowned: "It's impossible for the general to go to Bozhou with Xiao Baoye!" ”

When everyone on the city wall heard this, they were all nervous.

So this is someone pretending to be the Chuzhou Army?

Who the hell is it?

At this time, Huo Bao and Shui Jin have arrived under the city wall of Hezhou.

Naqu's eyes lit up, and he not only recognized Huo Bao, but also Huo Bao's mount.

Deng Jin gift, a white horse.

"It's really Little Bao Ye and General Shui!"

He is an old man from Quyang under Deng Jiexia, and this horse was picked by him in May, so he will not admit his mistake.

Under the city gate, Huo Bao, Shui Jin, and General Yin rode side by side.

"The fifth master has two states!"

Shui Jin looked at the city gate and felt a lot of emotion.

Marshal Liu's side, sharing Bozhou with others, if not counting Lingshui, actually occupies only Anding County, and now even Anding County has been abandoned, leaving only Lingshui.

The third disciple was only attached to Marshal Liu, and only had 8,000 soldiers and horses from Quyang and Yongyang, and he didn't even have his own territory.

Huo Wu's side was to win the three counties of Chuzhou first, and now it will take the four counties of Hezhou in half a month.

Luck is magical

It's like a good thing

When the third disciple first entered the Black Python Mountain, he was the same, but later his fortune changed

"Didn't catch up with Hezhou, does Brother Shui regret it?"

"Repent of what? Let's go to Bozhou, and there will be no short battle. Fight side by side with General Silver, refreshing! ”

General Silver smiled at Shui Jin and was not humble.

As he spoke, the gates of the city were wide open.

Qu Chang, who was guarding the door, took a few leaders and greeted him.

"Little Baoye, General Water"

Huo Bao turned over and dismounted, smiling and greeting.

This person is a rising star under Deng Jie, not from the first few hundred county soldiers in Quyang County.

Under Deng Jie, it is second only to Zhang, Li, and Wang.

"The fifth and eighth masters are in the state capital, and Deng Ye is in the camp."

Huo Bao was already surprised, and asked, "What kind of fight was it in the night battle last night?" This city wall and city gate are new, and at first glance, it has not been repaired for a long time, and there are no traces of siege, obviously it is not a strong attack, how can he surrender with the state governor? ”

His Majesty's soldiers said it briefly, Huo Bao was very worried about Daddy, whether anyone was injured.

How can siege warfare be so easy to fight?

This song length happens to be one of the executors of "straw cart borrowing arrows".

When it comes to last night's incident, he is also embarrassed.

"Last night's night attack, there was no fight at all, it was Deng Ye's idea of bluffing, and he couldn't see clearly through the fog that Deng Ye meant to use an ox cart to consume crossbow arrows on the wall, and he used a strong crossbow in the column, and he couldn't fight with the lives of his soldiers, but he couldn't wait like this. Taking advantage of the cloudy weather in Hezhou in the past few days, the fog is heavy in the morning and evening, and they don't want to have infighting with several officials and masters in the state when they spend more crossbow arrows, first the governor and the state judge will close the Zhizhou who wants to vote for our Chuzhou, and then the governor got out and led people to force the governor and the state judge to death."

Hundreds of people were lost in front, and Deng Jie's soldiers were all gearing up, waiting for revenge.

Now, where is this hate?

If you say that this dead Hezhou Lieutenant is really not a murderer.

Martial law was imposed in the city, and outsiders were strictly investigated, and hundreds of Chuzhou inter-state children were found out.

This and the state lieutenant did not call anyone to kill, and they were all locked up in prison.

If it weren't for this, Deng Paotou would have suffered hundreds of casualties, and he would not have stopped there.

In the state capital, the chaos came down all day.

Zhizhou and Song Lao made a handover of government affairs.

Even if Zhizhou is lowered, Kehe Prefecture wants to be the rear battalion of Luzhou, and the location is more important than Chuzhou, so you don't have to worry about guarding it with your own people.

Master Lin and Song Lao were all with Huo Wu in the army.

Master Lin recommended Song Lao.

This is also in line with the previous suggestion of "taking charge of things in different places".

Since he was for this Zhizhou, Huo Wu also had good intentions.

"The elder can take his family back to Binjiang to recuperate first, and then talk about other things later"

When Luzhou is taken, it will be able to vacate the place for resettlement.

Zhizhou said: "If the old man is ten years younger, he is willing to serve Huo Shuai, but the old man is already sixty this year, and he has five cane teeth, and now he only hopes that the leaves will return to his roots, don't be a lonely ghost outside, and ask Huo Shuai to be fulfilled, and allow the old man to return to his hometown with his children and grandchildren tomorrow."

"What is the origin of the old man?"

This old man should have been traveling abroad for many years, speaking official language, and he couldn't tell where he was from.

However, according to the rules of the southern people of the imperial court and the northern people of the south, this old man is a northerner.

But now to the north, the road is not smooth.

Bandits are rampant, and it is not easy for the old man to go home.

It can't be that the other party has made a great contribution to Chuzhou, so he watched the old man go to a dead end.

"The old man was a borrower from Xingzhou, Shannan West Province to take the exam, and his ancestral home was in Quanzhou."

Huo Wudao: "Quanzhou is not close!" ”

Lao Zhizhou said with a look of disgrace on his face: "This is because it is not close, and the old man is more and more afraid to delay." ”

Huo Wu nodded, unintentionally embarrassed: "Since the boss has made up his mind, Huo will not stay in vain, and he will practice for the boss tomorrow"

Lao Zhizhou looked at Luo Qianhu who was standing next to him and said, "What did you plead with Huo Shuai before?" ”

"Don't worry, my lord, since I Huo Wu should go down, I won't be embarrassed that a woman will send her to Jinling tomorrow, and then whether to return to Beijing or what, let the woman stay!"

Du Wei was dying and left his wife, and he didn't want to affect his wife.

But the two have children, both of whom are in Beijing.

Huo Wu hesitated for a moment and said, "When the city gate is opened in a few days, the news of Hezhou will spread, will it be in the way of the boss?" ”

Lao Zhizhou led the crowd to surrender, and according to the rules of the imperial court, it was not only "lost land", but also "rebellious".

If someone investigates it, I'm afraid it won't be easy to pass.

Lao Zhizhou was stunned when he heard this, and then he understood Huo Wu's worries, and his expression was slightly warm: "Quanzhou is far away, and the clansmen have not had contact for many years."

So if I don't know his resume, I will naturally feel at ease.

Huo Wu solemnly bowed and said: "The boss is merciful, I can't see the flames of war, Huo's Chuzhou army and the people of Hezhou, thank you for your high righteousness!" ”

Lao Zhizhou hid his face and avoided it, choked up: "I'm just afraid of death and old killing, and I don't have the face to thank him, and I hope that Huo Shuai will treat Hezhou and Chuzhou in vain, and the state Shishu is looking forward to it, and the 100,000 people in Hezhou are in trouble."

"Don't worry, my lord, everything in Hezhou is as it is in Chuzhou!"

and the temperament of several officials in charge of the state, Huo Wu and the others had already inquired clearly.

There were two accidents, one was that the arrogant Du Lieutenant from a wealthy family was martyred against the enemy, and the other was that Zhizhou, who cherished his reputation and was a good man, asked to surrender.

Lao Zhizhou walked away.

Luo Qianhu stepped forward and said in a dumb voice: "The revenge has not been avenged, and I hope that Huo Shuai will also allow him to leave." ”

During the day today, Luo Qianhu handed over the four thousand and state soldiers to Deng, and the rest was to take a few henchmen to copy the Ling family.

One should be seized, up to the house title deed, down to the gold and silver treasures, Luo Qianhu did not take a penny, and all of them were sent to the Chuzhou army.

When Huo Wu heard someone tell him about this, he knew that Luo Qianhu was leaving, and he was not surprised at the moment, so he just said, "Are you going to the capital?" ”

Ling's parents have passed away one after another, and his brothers and nephews are all in the capital, and there are only concubines and stewards in his hometown in Hezhou.

Luo Qianhu nodded and said: "I have given birth to three sons in Xia, they will stay in Hezhou, and the bloodline inheritance is expected to go here, and I only hope to take revenge for the rest of my life!" ”

Huo Wu felt heavy.

This man is hateful and pitiful.

It was "unjust" to betray the gracious Shangguan, but the governor himself did not blame him for knowing the reason.

In this world, filial piety is greater than the sky.

The Luo family's experience was too tragic.

Even Huo Wu couldn't help but soften his heart a little: "The gentleman takes revenge, it's not too late for ten years, I still hope you will go, cherish a few more people, don't let your wife and children wait"

"Xie Huo is handsome!"

Luo Qianhu bowed down and thanked him, but he didn't answer the words "wife and children are waiting", obviously having the idea of death.

Huo Wu didn't know what to say, and watched Luo Qianhu leave.

Deng Festival and State Camp.

Du Laoba went to the street to find good food.

Monk Feng went back to his residence for evening classes.

Huo Wu only had Master Lin and Tang Guang by his side.

Master Lin said: "The two of them left, and I am afraid that the state will be uneasy. ”

Tang Guang nodded and agreed: "Yes, these two people took the lead in the previous surrender, and they will leave tomorrow, for fear that someone will misunderstand that we will not tolerate anyone." Anyway, going south, the warmer it gets, and I'm not afraid of rushing in winter, why don't you discuss with Lao Zhizhou and let him delay his departure for half a month? ”

Huo Wu waved his hand and said: "We have borrowed these two people's strength, so don't embarrass people anymore, fulfill them, this Hezhou is too rich, the people's livelihood is comfortable, and the people's temperament is much more stable than Chuzhou."

The poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, and they are talking about Chuzhou, which has been plagued by disasters and famines.

and the state, the land is fertile, and the people are generous.

So when Huainan Province ordered to raise taxes over and over again, they just complained and paid honestly.

Even if they talk about the good of the Chuzhou White Shirts, no one really makes trouble and follows the example of Chuzhou to rebel.

Yesterday, the Chuzhou army went to 20 surrounding villages to "requisition" livestock, but no one resisted.

4,000 soldiers, more than 10,000 gentry and people in the city, the granary is sufficient, and they obviously have the power to defend the city, but they surrender with one heart.

Huo Wu was both happy and helpless.

Rejoice that Hezhou was successfully won, and the first step of the Huainan Road strategy was successful; Helplessly, with the temperament of the people of the state, the combat power of the state soldiers is really worrying.

This conscription

"Haha! Fifth brother, fifth brother, let's see who's coming! ”

Du Laoba's loud voice came from far and near, breaking Huo Wu's contemplation.
