Chapter 305: Digging the Foot of the Wall

Kang Huaizhen did not have any psychological burden for surrendering to Huainan, but he was worried about whether his family would be implicated. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In this troubled world, many people can ignore the life and death of their families for their own wealth, but there are still some people who care about their families very much, and Kang Huaizhen is this kind of person.

He knew that with Zhu Quanzhong's temperament, if he surrendered to Huainan, his family would definitely not be able to survive. For the sake of his own life, regardless of the life of his family, Kang Huaizhen asked himself if he could do such a thing.

Thinking of this, Kang Huaizhen sighed and shook his head: "Your Highness, it's not that the last general is unwilling to surrender, it's just that the last general's family is still in Bianzhou, if the last general surrenders......"

Yang Wu smiled: "Are you worried about the safety of your family?" You can rest assured that if you are willing to surrender, Lone will naturally find a way to help you cover up the matter, Lone can declare to the outside world that you are unwilling to surrender to Lone, and you have been killed by Lone, so that Zhu Quanzhong will naturally not do anything to your family, and you can also change your surname and name Lone, and when Lone kills Zhu Quanzhong in the future, you will be able to reunite with your family again, so good? ”

Kang Huaizhen was shocked when he heard this, he didn't expect Yang Wu to be able to do this for him, if Yang Wu was ruthless, as long as he announced that he had surrendered, Zhu Quanzhong would definitely kill his family at that time, and after he had a blood feud with Zhu Quanzhong, there was no other way than to serve Yang Wu.

But Yang Wu didn't do this, but found a way to cover it up for him, which made him grateful.

He had no intention of serving Zhu Quanzhong to the death, but now that there is such a way to get the best of both worlds, he naturally no longer hesitated, and hurriedly said: "If His Highness can help the last general to protect his family, the last general is willing to serve His Highness, and he will never give up!" ”

Yang Wu laughed and got up, personally stepped forward to untie the ropes on his body, and ordered the guards to serve wine to suppress him.

On the side, Yuan Xiang saw Kang Huaizhen surrender like this, but he only dared to look at him angrily, and he didn't even dare to scold a word.

He is not stupid, if he does not surrender in the current situation, he will probably be killed, and he does not want to die just yet; So in his heart, he also had the intention of surrendering.

It's a pity that what he didn't expect was that Yang Wu didn't ask him a word, so he said directly: "Zhu Quanzhong killed the first emperor and killed Zhongliang, and the crime is unforgivable!" Yuan Xiang was Zhu Quanzhong's nephew first, and he helped to abuse him, because there were many evils, and he dragged this person down and beheaded him to show the public! ”

This time in the battle with the Liang army, the losses of the Huainan army were not large, but the losses suffered by the people of Shouzhou were not small, and Huainan has always regarded Zhu Quanzhong as the biggest traitor in the world, so he will naturally not let go of his family.

As for persuading this person to surrender, not to mention whether Yuan Xiangxian would surrender as Zhu Quanzhong's nephew, even if he was willing to surrender, Yang Wu was unwilling to accept it.

Huainan is not short of generals now, especially generals with average ability like Yuan Xiangxian, Huainan is too many to arrange now, so naturally he doesn't want to accept such a person anymore.

Seeing that Yang Wu was going to behead him directly without asking, Yuan Xiangxian was shocked, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Your Highness spares your life, and the last general is willing to surrender!" Your Highness spares your life, and the last general is willing to die for you......"

Yang Wu sneered, ignored it, and directly waved his hand to let the guards carry out the order.

Soon, a bloody head was hung high.

Seeing that Yang Wu killed Yuan Xiangxian without saying a word, Kang Huaizhen was awe-inspiring in his heart, and secretly glad that he didn't hesitate just now, otherwise he would definitely have the same fate at this time.

beheaded Yuan Xiang successively, the identity and status of the other captives were not enough, so naturally Yang Wu did not need to ask in person, and directly let Gao Miao deal with it.

Then, Yang Wu ordered someone to put on a banquet, firstly, to celebrate the previous victory, and secondly, to suppress Kang Huaizhen.

At the banquet, Yang Wu naturally had to ask about Liang Jun's details. If you talk about understanding the Liang army, who else can compare to Kang Huaizhen, a veteran who has been in the Liang army for more than ten years, and Kang Huaizhen is not better than others, he is a high-level general in the Liang army, so he naturally knows that many of Yang Wu's long swords are secret agents can't find out at all.

In particular, Kang Huaizhen has served as a guard in Suzhou for many years, and he is very familiar with all kinds of intelligence in Suzhou and other places, after defeating Zhu Quanzhong this time, if the situation is favorable, Yang Wu will definitely not let go of this opportunity to take advantage of the Northern Expedition, and the information provided by Kang Huaizhen will play an important role at that time.

It's just that Kang Huaizhen surrendered, and the other Huainan generals in the field didn't have any ideas, after all, they were all Yang Wu's henchmen, but they just had one more general, which could not affect their status; But Zhu Jin was unhappy.

At that time, Kang Huaizhen was the general under Zhu Jin, and Zhu Jin and Zhu Quanzhong were at war, and the war was extremely unfavorable.

When Yunzhou fell, the Liang army took advantage of the victory to attack Zhu Jin's old nest Yanzhou, at that time, Zhu Jin was sending troops with Li Chengsi and Shi Yan to Feng and Pei to collect horse food and military rations, and stayed in Kang Huaizhen to guard Yanzhou.

However, what Zhu Jin didn't expect was that his two sons, as well as the general Kang Huaizhen and others, directly surrendered to the Liang army out of Yanzhou City.

As a result, Zhu Jin had no way back, so he had to go south with Li Chengsi and Shi Yan to lead his subordinates and soldiers to take refuge in Yang Xingmi.

Although many years have passed now, Zhu Jin still remembers the hatred of the year.

Yang Wu saw Zhu Jin's expression, and naturally understood, during this time, Zhu Jin, as his staff officer, provided him with a lot of useful advice, especially he could feel the changes in Zhu Jin, knowing that this person had given up his ambition and began to work for him sincerely.

Therefore, Yang Wu's attitude towards Zhu Jin has also changed a lot, although he does not plan to give him military power, but he will no longer be as strict as before.

After Yang Wu persuaded Zhu Jin and Kang Huaizhen to reconcile a few words, at his request, Kang Huaizhen sincerely apologized to Zhu Jin, and the two drank a drink together, which was regarded as ending the old grudge in the face, as for what would happen to the two in private, it was not for Yang Wu to care.

Halfway through the banquet, a guard came in to report that an envoy from Li Keyong, the king of Jin, had come.

"The envoy of the King of Jin?" Yang Wu was stunned for a moment.

Li Keyong hadn't sent an envoy for a while, at least since he presided over Huainan, this was the first time that an envoy from the King of Jin had come.

"Let him in!"

After a while, a middle-aged man walked in under the guidance of the guards, bowed down to Yang Wu and said, "In Xia Guo Chongtao, meet His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

"Guo Chongtao? Are you Guo Chongtao? Yang Wu was a little surprised, the middle-aged man in front of him turned out to be the first hero of the later Liang Eradication, and then personally led the troops to destroy Guo Chongtao of Qianshu?

"It is Guo Chongtao below, who was ordered by the King of Jin to send an envoy to Huainan!" Guo Chongtao was a little strange, I don't know why Yang Wu is so interested in his name, it stands to reason that he is just a small warden now, but Yang Wu is a great nobleman in charge of Huainan, it is impossible to hear his name.

Yang Wu reacted at this time, and said with a faint smile: "It turned out to be the envoy of King Jin, Mr. Guo, please get up!" I don't know what mission the King of Jin sent you? ”

He was also a little surprised when he suddenly heard about Guo Chongtao, but now he is not the same person he was after all, so he was only surprised for a moment and came back to his senses.

"The King of Jin heard that His Royal Highness is now presiding over the military and political affairs of Huainan, so he sent his subordinates to congratulate His Highness; In addition, the king of my family intends to send troops to fight against Zhu Quanzhong, so he wants to send troops with Huainan. ”

In fact, the news that Yang Wu presided over Huainan Guo Chongtao only learned about it after he arrived in Suzhou, coupled with Huainan's defeat of Zhu Quanzhong now, it is conceivable that Yang Wu's reputation will really shake the world, which makes his mission this time heavier, not only to make good friends with Huainan, but also to find out the characteristics of Yang Wu, as well as his impact on the situation in the world after he takes over.

Guo Chongtao got up and secretly looked at Yang Wulai, and at the same time secretly compared him with Li Cunqiao in his heart.

This time when he went to Huainan, Li Cunqiao privately explained to him and asked him to write down Yang Wu's situation and talk about it in detail after he returned.

"It's so young!" Guo Chongtao sighed secretly.

Yang Wu is not even twenty years old this year, and Li Cunqiao is just twenty years old this year, at this point, the two are about the same.

In addition to lamenting Yang Wu's youth, Yang Wu's impression in his heart was that he was extremely majestic, not much worse than Li Keyong.

It's no wonder that Yang Wu has been in charge of Huainan for more than a year after all, especially this victory over the Liang army, which has greatly increased his prestige, enough to say nothing in Huainan.

At this point, Li Cunmiao is not as good as Yang Wu, after all, Li Cunmiao has not officially taken charge of Hedong, and he has no experience in personally leading troops to fight, so he is naturally inferior in majesty.

As for other aspects, Guo Chongtao did not have in-depth contact and did not dare to draw conclusions easily.

"I see! King Jin's mind was alone. As for attacking Zhu Quanzhong together, isn't my Huainan now at war with Zhu Quanzhong? It's just that I don't know, as an ally, has King Jin sent troops now? Yang Wu nodded.

"The king of my family has recently fought against Liu Rengong unfavorably, and he needs to rest, so he has not sent troops for the time being. However, after this rest is completed, presumably the king will send troops to attack Zhu Quanzhong! ”

Yang Wu did not entangle with Guo Chongtao on this issue, in his opinion, the so-called allies are just using each other to contain Zhu Quanzhong, as for sending troops to eliminate Zhu Quanzhong together, Yang Wu is not interested in this for the time being, that is, in the future, he will wait until he is fully prepared before acting.

After all, the elimination of Zhu Quanzhong will cause a series of reactions, such as losing Zhu Quanzhong, a common enemy, Huainan and Hedong will definitely turn their faces, and the Jin army with more cavalry will be even more terrifying than Zhu Quanzhong's strength, so before being sure enough to fight against the cavalry in Hedong in the north, let Zhu Quanzhong and Li Cunqiao confront each other for more than ten years!

At this time, what interested Yang Wu more was Guo Chongtao.

Judging from the introduction just now, Guo Chongtao at this time is not reused in Hedong, so is there a chance for him to poach this person?
