Just when the people of Longyou were intensively mediating for the Wei family's troops, the news of the imperial court army in Hanzhong had reached Chengdu, and when Zhu got the news, he was washing his feet, and two beautiful maids were carefully serving him on the left and right, although Zhu didn't say a word, but both of them had already felt the thunder that Zhu was about to explode.

The two women trembled like chaff all over their bodies, Zhu's eyes slowly looked at them, and he squinted his eyes and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

The two girls knelt down together, "Please spare your life!" They were fighting and couldn't talk anymore.

"I've already said I'm not going to kill you."

Zhu smiled, he touched their faces and said gently: "I have always been trustworthy, why don't you believe me?" ”

"Thank you, Master! thank

Before he finished speaking, the cold light flashed in front of him, and the two beautiful heads fell into the footbasin at the same time, and the two pairs of beautiful eyes suddenly opened with a hint of ecstasy forgiven by the master.

Zhu stood up and looked at the two pairs of unsightly eyes and said coldly: "I am trustworthy to you, but who is trustworthy to me?" ”

He put his sword back in his sheath and immediately shouted, "Prepare your horses!" Go to Nanchong County. ”

Outside Langchi County, Nanchong County, 60,000 Zhu Tao's army surrounded this small county, this county is the most fierce resistance to the city so far, 6,000 soldiers and civilians went to the city to defend together, there are white-haired old people, there are children who are noble as the wheels, this is the throat of Nanchong County, there are 3,000 garrisons, and the city is also very tall and strong.

Zhu Tao's army had been attacking for three days, with nearly 10,000 dead and wounded, and the south gate had changed hands several times, but still did not capture this small city.

At this time, the sky was already dark, and Zhu Tao was standing on a hill. The brows furrowed, such fierce resistance was something they had never encountered since the uprising, and they were not merciful enough. In addition to collecting the official warehouse and the officials being reassigned by them, the people almost did not commit any crimes, and he Zhu Tao even went to worship the saint temple.

Why doesn't it work here? He looked at the city in the distance under the thick fog, and couldn't figure out why.

"The Great General is here!" The reminders of several soldiers interrupted Zhu Tao's train of thought, and he looked back to see his eldest brother Zhu Chima rushing up the hill.

"Do you know why they won't surrender?" Zhu came to his brother's side, looked at the city from afar, and said coldly.

Zhu Tao was stunned and hurriedly asked, "Does the eldest brother know the reason?" ”

"Of course!" Zhu snorted, "That's because the imperial court has already designated us as bandits." Hundreds of thousands of troops have gathered in Hanzhong, ready to conquer us, Nanchong County Assassin Shi got the news, naturally refused to surrender. ”

After speaking, he no longer paid attention to his brother, and resolutely ordered: "All the armies press up together, and take the city in half a day." If you can't take it, all officers above the rank of captain will be beheaded. ”

Zhu paused for a moment, and said word by word: "After taking it, all the men and women in the city will be killed, and there will be no chickens and dogs!" ”

"Big brother can't!" Zhu Tao was anxious, "In this way, you will lose the hearts of the people." ”

"Lao Tzu wants the people's hearts to be useless," Zhu interrupted his brother rudely, and he shouted loudly: "Pass my order, from today onwards, anyone who dares to resist the underground city." Once breached, slaughter the city for three days! ”

The rumbling drum beat suddenly, the drum resounded in the sky, and the black and oppressive Zhu army was like an overwhelming black curtain, and like a storm approaching dark clouds, swept towards this small county, and they were so violent that they almost crushed this city into powder.

Zhu Leng looked at the army attacking the city, a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he muttered, "Cui Yuan, since you want to put me to death." Then we'll see! ”

Longyou, the first round of negotiations with Duan Xiushi has ended, according to the requirements put forward by Duan Xiushi, the imperial court will provide 300,000 stone grain to Lingwu County every year in the future, and at the same time. The Wei family will lift the blockade of Lingwu County. and officially recognized Duan Xiushi's possession of Lingwu County.

On the basis of this condition, Duan Xiushi promised never to march south. He and Wei Ge signed the mutual trust contract respectively, and at the same time, Pei Jun and Cui Xian represented the right minister Cui Yuan, and Li Chuanyun represented the queen mother Cui Xiaofu, and they all signed the contract.

The next round of negotiations between Wei Ge and Zhang Huan, the governor of Wuwei County, was scheduled for the next morning.

At noon, Zhang Huan, under the escort of 300 personal soldiers, came to the famous Xijia Restaurant in Kaiyang County, which is close to the largest commercial market in Kaiyang County, and the business is very prosperous, but today Xijia Restaurant got the news early, and it was closed two hours ago, waiting for distinguished guests to come to the door.

Hundreds of soldiers dined in the lobby, Zhang Huan and Du Mei entered the inner room under the guidance of the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper's surname was Wang, about forty years old, entered the inner room, the shopkeeper Wang immediately closed the door, he bowed down to Zhang Huan and bowed deeply, "Subordinates see the governor!" ”

"No need to be polite." Zhang Huan waved his hand and smiled: "You use pigeons to send me letters every time, why haven't I seen pigeons near the restaurant?" ”

At this time, Du Mei next to him smiled and said: "The governor doesn't know, pigeons are easy to find in the city, so I ordered them to keep pigeons in the countryside, where no one will notice." ”

Zhang Huan nodded approvingly, Du Mei thought about the problem really carefully, he smiled and went directly to today's topic, and asked the shopkeeper Wang: "I heard that Wei Ge has mobilized 80,000 troops and stationed them near Kaiyang County, can you find out where these troops are transferred from?" ”

Judging from the urgency of Cui Yuan's dispatch of troops this time, once Wei Ge reaches an agreement with himself, he will immediately send troops, he will not redeploy troops, and it is very likely that he will send troops from the 80,000 troops gathered in Kaiyang County now, so as long as he knows his transfer of troops in various parts of Longyou, he will also know his future defensive deployment.

The shopkeeper took out a small notebook from his arms, looked through it and said: "The news from all over Longyou has not yet been sent to his subordinates, and his subordinates only know that 30,000 troops have been transferred from Jincheng County. ”

There are 40,000 permanent troops in Jincheng County, and 30,000 have been transferred, so there are still 10,000 left, Zhang Huan sighed for a while and said to Du Mei and the shopkeeper Wang: "This matter is very important, you must let all the brothers pay attention to it from time to time, not only to pay attention to the current transfer of troops, but also to pay attention to his future army movements." Send me the latest information. ”

"Yes! Subordinates obey orders. ”

At this time, the soldiers in the lobby outside had already begun to eat and drink, and it was very lively. And the desk in front of Zhang Huan was still empty, there was nothing, he couldn't help but smile slightly: "The matter has been explained, you can serve me food!" ”

Shopkeeper Wang suddenly realized, he ran out in a panic, and in a moment, all kinds of wine and food came up like flowing water, and Zhang Huan greeted Du Mei, "Hansheng." Let's do it together! ”

He picked up the chopsticks, but he didn't see Du Mei's movement, and he couldn't help but look back in surprise, only to see him standing at the window, looking at something intently.

Zhang Huan put down his chopsticks and walked up slowly, "What did you find again?" ”

"Governor, look!" Du Mei pointed to a street directly opposite the gate of the market. Zhang Huan looked in the direction of his finger and saw more than a dozen men driving a large group of horses coming, and more than a hundred steps away, several more people also drove a large group of horses.

"What does that mean?" Zhang Huan knew that Du Mei's consideration of problems was different from ordinary people, and he must have found something abnormal.

"Did the governor find that most of these horses were disheveled, and they were all bad horses, how could there be a horse dealer who sold such horses? I suspect that these horses are all farmed by the farmers themselves. ”

"Let's go! Look at it. Zhang Huan suddenly had a strong interest, he didn't care about eating, and pulled Du Mei and walked out.

The commercial market covers an area of nearly 100 acres. People come and go, very lively, all kinds of bulk items are divided by districts, Zhang Huan and his party found the horse trading market in the easternmost corner, just saw the two groups were driven into the stable.

"Governor, wait a minute." Du Mei stopped Zhang Huan, he pointed to the military uniform on Zhang Huan's body and smiled: "Let me ask!" Save the grass and scare the snake. ”

Zhang Huan understood, he nodded, and flashed to the side with a dozen soldiers, only to see Du Mei with his hands behind his back. Like a buyer, he asked in the east and looked in the west, and soon he turned back. smiled at Zhang Huan with some smugness: "Sure enough, it was as I expected." Horses have been bought in large quantities since this morning, and it turns out that these inferior horses are worth a maximum of ten cents a piece. Now it has been sold for twenty-five times, and the governor said, look, who is buying a lot of horses? ”

Zhang Huan smiled and said nothing, do you still need to ask? Before the negotiations, a certain anxious Wei family had already leaked the bottom line.

As soon as Zhang Huan returned to the wine room, a personal soldier hurriedly greeted him and said: "Governor, someone has come to report at the right time, Pei Xiangguo is already waiting in the mansion." ”

"Got it, let the brethren eat quickly, and get ready to go back."

From Zhang Huan's arrival in Longyou yesterday to now, he and Pei Jun have not spoken alone, and he also knows that the so-called negotiation is just a formality, the two sides sign a contract, and the real negotiation is completed in advance, for example, this time, he will not have any face-to-face verbal war with Wei Ge, and the bottom line and concessions of both sides will be completed by Pei Junlai in the middle.

So today, Pei Junlai naturally reached a condition with Zhang Huan.

This Zhu rebellion, so that Cui Yuan has been at his fingertips of the cabinet advantage accidentally lost, it led to the Tang Dynasty clan for the first time into the cabinet, although Li Mian is a neutral, but he has always supported Cui Xiaofu, Cui Yuan advocates the view of completely emptying the imperial power, he is resolutely opposed, and he can be regarded as a royalist.

As a result, Pei Jun became the biggest beneficiary of this cabinet reshuffle.

At this moment, the left minister of the Tang Dynasty was sitting in Zhang Huan's room reading leisurely, and Zhang Huan's laughter suddenly came from the door: "Father-in-law, you can know that Ying'er has given birth to a son." ”

Pei Jun was stunned, he immediately put down the book, stood up and said in surprise: "Ying'er is okay now?" ”

Zhang Huan stepped forward, gave a deep salute, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law, please rest assured, their mother and son are safe." ”

Pei Jun rubbed his hands excitedly, and he hurriedly pulled Zhang Huandi's arm to let him sit down, "I originally wanted to ask you about Ying'er's situation, but I was worried, but the virtuous son-in-law sent me good news, so happy!" ”

Zhang Huan smiled bitterly and said: "This time I came to Longyou, it is really time urgent, I hope to return to Hexi tonight, do not hide from my father-in-law, I can rest assured that Wuwei will not be." ”

Pei Jun was stunned, the joy on his face gradually faded, and he asked in a deep voice, "What happened?" ”

Zhang Huan shook his head, sighed and said, "I made a big mistake, I shouldn't have agreed to the party's request to go to the quicksand river to pan for gold. ”

In October of the second year of Xuanren, Zhang Huan was officially appointed as the envoy of the Hexi Festival by the imperial court, and on this condition, he reached a reconciliation agreement with Wei Ge, he promised that when the Wei army conquered Shu County in the south, he would never take advantage of the weakness to attack Longyou, and resolutely supported the imperial court to quell the Zhu rebellion, for which he specially supported the Wei family army in the southern expedition 2,000 war horses, as his support for the imperial court to exterminate the Zhu bandits.

On November 1, the 200,000 troops of the Tang Dynasty marched towards Jiannan.

Wu Song returned home, hurriedly opened the computer to log in to the starting point, and found a book written by Jingyang Hu, but unexpectedly there was no guaranteed monthly pass, and he was stunned.

After a while, Da Lang sold cakes, and smiled when he saw this: "Jin Lian likes to eat tomato scrambled eggs, and the ticket has been voted for Pan Long!" ”

Loose anger: "When I borrowed my brother's high V account, my brother repeatedly promised that he would not move my guaranteed monthly pass, I had promised Jingyang Tiger, what my brother did, how could my brother be credited?" ”

Da Lang Zhengse reprimanded: "The love of brotherhood is not as good as a tiger? ”

Song is hateful.

It was night, pine and sleepless, dressed and looking at the moon and sighing, feeling the high righteousness of Jingyang Tiger, thinking about reading the fifteen taels of silver YY book again, and making up a monthly pass for him.

Suddenly, I heard a voice in my brother's and sister-in-law's room, "The old lady wants to vote for three monthly tickets this month, and ask your brother to flush some more silver into the account." ”

"Da Lang is ashamed of his brother and doesn't want to say anything more."

"If you don't say it, it's forbidden to have sex."

"Severed hands and feet, cloned; Madame goes, Da Lang is worried, just say it for her husband. ”

Song hated, so he started to kill his sister-in-law.
