Chapter 337: Negotiation
Yuan Guozhen's handwriting?
The owner of the horse village took it, but he was not surprised.
Taizhou White Shirt's move has been repeated twice in less than two years.
When the Yuan brothers had just made trouble in Taizhou, the commander of Jiangnan Dongdao recruited them on behalf of the imperial court.
Yuan Guozhen descended and won the title of Governor of Taizhou.
When Qi Chun's army marched eastward in July and August last year, occupying Hangzhou, Yuan Guozhen rebelled again, still holding the banner of the white-shirted army.
When the imperial court transferred Jiangxi soldiers and recaptured Hangzhou Mansion, Yuan Guozhen returned to the imperial court.
But when the Chuzhou army moved south to occupy Jinling, the Taizhou army sent Yuan Er as an envoy, and they still boasted of being a white-shirted army.
"This kid, riding on the wall is refreshing, so he is not afraid of falling?"
The owner of the horse village sighed: "This shameless energy, there is really no one!" ”
Huo Wu groaned.
It's not that Huo Wu doesn't have courage, it's really that the main force of the Taizhou army is a bandit, and it's easy to defeat but it's difficult to annihilate them all.
Once they turn their faces, if there are fish that slip through the net, they will harass coastal boundaries such as Songjiang and Hangzhou.
But do such repeated rebels really want to allow him to breathe, and then wait for him to repeat it again?
Moreover, there is also the ambush of the Huzhou army.
Huzhou alone, where are there so many firearms?
If the local armaments of the imperial court were so rich, then most of the territory would not be lost.
Among them, there is the conspiracy of the Qi Chun Army, but there is also the Taizhou Army.
"If you want to fall, there is still more to talk about, dragging ...... That's going to trouble Mr. Lin......"
Huo Wu thought for a moment and said.
Master Lin was surprised: "Fifth Master ......"
Huo Wu said with a smile: "Hangzhou has just taken it down, and I always have to give the big guys a few days of rest......"
Master Lin breathed a sigh of relief.
Other white-shirted forces are far away from the Chuzhou Army, and they will exist for the time being.
The Taizhou Army is so close to Hangzhou that there is no need to keep it.
Deng Jian slaughtered Huzhou City, and Yuan Guozhen's brothers repeated it several times, but the towns they slaughtered were not one or two, they were by no means good, and they should not be kept to continue to plague the local people.
After the meeting, Master Lin went to entertain Yuan Er on behalf of the Chuzhou Army, and Huo Wu left the owner of the village, Du Laoba, and Huo Bao.
The master of the horse village looked at Huo Wudao: "If you want to take down Yuan Guozhen, you mainly have to prevent him from escaping into the sea by boat...... Do you have to borrow boats and manpower from Lao Jiu......"
Huo Wu nodded: "If you want to be completely annihilated, you have to be so ......"
The Chuzhou army has sailors and ships, but the water battles on the rivers and lakes are still good, and it is different at sea.
"It's just that there are too many of us in the old nine gang this year, and it's not easy to use it in vain, I sent two boats of brocade last time, and now I'll send fifty cannons!"
Huo Wu thought for a moment and said.
The owner of the horse village hesitated: "Lao Jiu, this is not going ashore?" Why don't I go and persuade him? ”
Huo Wu hurriedly said: "The sixth doesn't have to be like this, you don't know the temper of the ninth child, and he can't be restrained, so let him do as he pleases." ”
Du Laoba listened for a while, ate half a plate of peaches, and then whispered: "Yes, yes, sixth brother, don't recruit Lao Jiu, seventh brother is afraid of him, and I am also afraid!" ”
The owner of the horse village glanced at Du Laoba: "I'm afraid...... Lao Jiu still bullied you? ”
Du Laoba gnawed on the peach and said, "If you don't bully, you're afraid of people, Lao Jiu...... Treat people fiercely, and don't let me eat ......"
The owner of the horse village snorted lightly: "It's bullying you to worry about you, and it's all good to coax you to eat pigs?" When will people in their thirties know what is good? ”
Du Laoba drooped his head and didn't dare to squeak.
Huo Bao was listening, and he became more and more curious about the "Nine Masters".
This is a tyrant who is called the king overseas, so naturally there is no need to go ashore and succumb to others.
Not even if it's a sworn brother.
Huo Wu knew this, so he didn't expect the "Ninth Master" to go ashore, and only thought about helping.
The owner of the horse village thought too much, afraid that the brothers would not be compatible in the future, and wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Chuzhou army did not go to the last step to divide the master and slave.
He underestimated the arrogance of the "Ninth Master" and underestimated Huo Wu's heart.
*
Taiwei Mansion, living room.
Seeing Master Lin, Yuan Er hurriedly got up, but his heart was much more peaceful.
Although Master Lin is the No. 4 person in the Chuzhou Army, in fact, Deng Jian, who is in front of him, is only in charge of conquest, Ma Kui is only in charge of logistics, and all government affairs are in the hands of this person, and he is more like Huo Wu's deputy than the first two.
He brought his brother's handwritten letter to him, but he didn't expect Huo Wu to talk to him about this in person.
If...... The Taizhou Army decided a month earlier, and Huo Wu said that he could not still give this face.
At that time, the Chuzhou army did not go south, and the Taizhou army really wanted to be like-minded, and in the land of the four states, the Yuan brothers could also mix in a good position in the Chuzhou army, just like Monk Feng.
Now, it's too late.
Hangzhou City has been taken by the Chuzhou army, and the Taizhou army did not show sincerity at this time, but only appeared weak-hearted.
If Huo Wu came forward at this time, Yuan Er would be muttering in his heart.
"Chief Lin ......"
Yuan Er hugged his fists and saluted.
"Two Generals......"
Master Lin also returned the favor.
"I don't know Lord Taiwei...... It's a good ......."
"I got the good news from Hangzhou, and I was drunk with the sixth master......"
Yuan Er listened with a smile, only feeling bitter in his mouth, but he was not surprised.
After taking the Hangzhou Mansion, there are still 60,000 or 70,000 Jiangxi army elites behind them, and if you are a big brother, you will have to drink happily.
"It's not that I neglected the second general, Lord Taiwei and Marshal Yuan have been friends for a long time, and in the early days, it was just ...... There are a lot of things involved in this investment, and Lord Taiwei is impatient with trivial matters, so he has to order me to sort out one or two first......"
"Huh? Isn't there an example of Feng Shuai in front of you? Or was it the case of the Tang Marshal earlier? ”
Feng Shuai's case?
is just an independent leader, Huo Wu does not interfere in the transfer of soldiers under his command.
Earlier, Tang Guang's example was also an independent leader, and the Green Snake Army directly became a private soldier, and Tang Guang also passed it on to Tang Guang's nephew after his death.
When Master Lin heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head: "Second Master's words are bad!" Marshal Yuan divided the land of the four states, and the naval army had tens of thousands of foot soldiers, where could Tang Shuai and Feng Shuai have thousands of soldiers side by side? ”
These words seemed to exalt the Yuan family, but when Yuan Er heard it, he didn't feel happy, but was shocked: "That's ...... Can it be like Yu Shuai's example? ”
Yu Shuai's example?
The Chuzhou army occupied Luzhou, but did not enter the Chaohu Water Division camp.
Those who stayed in the camp of Chaohu Water Division were still Yu family.
Master Lin listened to it and muttered: "The second general has come to Jinling a few times, and he also knows that the water division in the Chuzhou army is thin, and there is only one door for Yu Shuai Weng's son-in-law, but there are water bandits in Taihu Lake, but thousands of pawns can't get into the eyes of the fifth master...... The meaning of the fifth master, if the Taizhou army comes to vote, it can be divided into two sides: the sailor and the foot soldier...... When the time comes, Marshal Yuan will be under Deng Shuai......"
Yuan Er's eyes lit up.
The seat of the Chuzhou army is not known in detail by others, but the Taizhou side inquires clearly.
Under Huo Wu is Deng Jian, and after Deng Jian, he is the third person in the Chuzhou Army!
This rank is higher than the Yuan family brothers thought before.
The best that their brothers thought about before was after the master of the horse village and before Monk Feng.
After all, when the Chuzhou Army set up the flag, the main force was the Black Python Mountain bandits, and they were the people of the owner of the horse village.
"And what about the other rank?"
Yuan Er asked with a little bit of hidden anticipation.
The Taizhou Army was merged into the Chuzhou Army, and if it really had to be divided into water divisions and foot soldiers, the other commander marshal had no one else, and it was Yuan Er himself.
Master Lin brought a few points: "After the seat of the marshal, before the position of the young master......"
Perhaps the expectations are too high, and now the gap is too big, Yuan Er frowned and said: "Our Taizhou army has 100,000 sailors, and there are not 100,000 foot soldiers, but 80,000...... If the seat is after Feng Shuai, it won't be the turn of the last seat......"
Master Lin said: "Needless to say, the eighth master, the father of the Chuzhou Army...... Marshal Water also made great achievements before and after the year...... Ma Shuai's side, in the end, is the only daughter of the sixth master, and she is also the righteous daughter of the Taiwei......"
Yuan Er understood in his heart, but he still felt depressed, and he couldn't help but feel a little ambitious in his heart.
Speaking of which, the Chuzhou army is not monolithic, although there are veritable fierce generals such as Deng Jian, Feng Jue, and Shui Jin, and there are also Du Fei and Ma Ju who make up the numbers.
Now only the father and daughter of the Ma family occupy two seats in the Chuzhou army, and when their brother comes, there will be one more family, and the breakthrough that cannot be replaced is on the Ma family......
