The chaos in Youzhou City is coming to an end, whether Zhu Wei wants it or not, he has become the mastermind behind the Youzhou Mutiny, naturally he has the greatest benefit, the soldiers of the Lu Long Army stationed in Youzhou support him as one, and the old opponent of the Lu Long Army, the Xiongwu Army, was completely, completely and cleanly expelled from Youzhou City, the manor, He Hong and other generals' homes were all raided, if it were not for Zhu Hui's full maintenance, their families would also follow in the footsteps of Zhang Hongjing's family.

Zhu Wei gained a firm foothold in Youzhou, and Zhang Hongjing's crusade against Zhuwen also flew to the prefectures and towns of Youzhou, to the surrounding military towns, and to the Daming Palace in Chang'an.

The Quartet was in turmoil, and the world was in an uproar.

In Hebei Military Town, it is not uncommon for arrogant soldiers to kill commanders and chase commanders, and in the normal rules of the game, if the losing side does not have too many grievances, in most cases it will not die from military disasters. The latecomers staged a mutiny, seized the authority of their predecessors, and expelled them from the country, and the defeated side lamented that their fate was not good, and the victors did not rush to kill them.

As for the imperial court, he will only endorse the victors, and the losers, if they are not of all usefulness, will not be dealt with harshly under normal circumstances, and they will stay in Chang'an with an idle post, or send them to the southern prefectures and counties to go to the herdsmen to defend the border, if they can be diligent and make outstanding achievements, there will still be a chance to make a comeback in the future.

But this time, the rebellious army in Youzhou broke the rules, they killed Zhang Hongjing's whole family, men, women and children, no one left, this is a bit excessive, it is no wonder that although Zhang Hongjing ran in embarrassment, he did not want to admit defeat, he wanted to make a comeback and take revenge.

Does Zhang Hongjing still have a chance to make a comeback, there should be reason, at least more than 20,000 soldiers of the Xiongwu Army support him, and even the Lu Long Army is not monolithic, many of their generals are actually wait-and-see attitude towards this sudden mutiny, do not move, do not help on both sides, and sit and watch Zhang Dashuai of Yanzhou and Zhu Dashuai of Youzhou fight for the dragon.

The Khitans in the north of Yanshan were overjoyed when they learned of the rebellion in Youzhou, and immediately sent troops to Yanzhou, claiming to help Zhang Xiangping settle the rebellion and seek justice for his dead family.

The Khitan people are by no means enthusiastic about the ancient road, but want to take advantage of the autumn and winter when there is nothing to do in the south to reap some benefits, the so-called sending troops to quell the chaos is just sending troops, but they will never contribute to quell the rebellion.

The Henghai Navy and the Yiwu Army in the south of Youzhou are temporarily silent about the chaos in Youzhou, and the two towns are weak in strength and feel powerless to interfere in the changes in Youzhou, so silence is undoubtedly the best choice.

As for the strong town of Hengzhou (that is, the original Zhenzhou), Wang Chengyuan was not willing to remain silent, and Wei Prefecture in the south had become closer and closer to the imperial court since Tian Xing took power, and the pressure on him was increasing.

Liu Hong killed his father and killed his brother and immediately threw himself into the arms of the imperial court after seizing the military power of Youzhou, which made Wang Chengyuan feel pressure, and when Zhang Hongjing entered Youzhou, Hengzhou's situation was actually very embarrassing, Wang Chengyuan dreamed of making a difference, but was targeted by a fierce opponent in Weizhou in the south, so that he could not move.

Wang Chengyuan felt that he was more than willing to do the change in Youzhou, so he could only watch Liu Hong suffocate his adoptive father, murder his adoptive brother, become a festival envoy, and then have nightmares, and finally become a monk.

Now the opportunity has finally come, Zhang Hongjing is a person from the imperial court, and he has sat on the throne of the Jiedu envoy by the emperor's reward, so he naturally has to obey the emperor of Chang'an.

Zhu Hui is not, Zhu Hui is the old Youzhou, if you can help Zhu Hui to stand up in Youzhou, Chengde turned enemies into friends, and stabilized the northern defense line, while Weizhou will lose the traditional Youzhou Alliance, a long and a long, the offensive and defensive momentum suddenly changed, and then turned back to deal with the old opponent in the south, he Wang Chengyuan will be full of confidence.

Wang Chengyuan decided to help the Zhu family father and son, he sent someone to get in touch with Zhu Kerong stationed in Mozhou, the two met at the junction of Yingzhou and Shenzhou, and talked all night, Wang Chengyuan promised to help Zhu Kerong launch a mutiny, and pushed Zhu Wei to the throne of the Jiedu envoy, on the condition that after the Zhu family took power, they concluded an alliance with Hengzhou, and agreed not to invade each other.

This covenant was of great significance to Wang Chengyuan and was also very beneficial to the Zhu family, and Zhu Kerong solemnly agreed.

Wang Chengyuan immediately sent the general Wang Tingcao to lead the army into Shenzhou, creating an incident and containing the Yingzhou garrison, while Zhu Kerong led the army quietly back to Youzhou City after receiving the secret funding of Chengde, and joined forces with his brother Zhu Keding to instigate the Youzhou rebellion.

Zhu Xun saw that Zhu Kerong had reached a secret covenant with Wang Chengyuan on his behalf, sighed, and asked Zhu Kerong: "Your brother helped me ride on the back of a tiger, what should I do next?" ”

Zhu Kerong said: "Mu Quanwan, He Hong, Han Yanlu rebelled, kidnapped Zhang Xianggong, went to Yanzhou after the defeat, and his father was in danger when he stayed on behalf of the festival, stabilized the army's heart, and now should announce the truth to all parties, obtain understanding, and then ask the court to ask troops to crusade against Mu Quanwan, He Hong, Han Yanlu The three traitors, if you can capture Yanzhou and rescue Zhang Xianggong, my father will have a great contribution to the court." ”

Zhu Xun smiled, reversing black and white, the thief shouted to catch the thief, Zhu Kerong had already learned seven, seven, eight, eight, and the frost blade was also very powerful.

He asked quietly: "There are still 20,000 military horses in Yanzhou, can you beat them down?" ”

Zhu Kerong said: "All the soldiers of the Lu Long Army support my father, the child has 40,000 military horses in his hands, and the southern allies supply ordnance, horses, grain and grass, I think it is not difficult to fight in Yanzhou." ”

Zhu Xun said: "You missed a person, Liaodong Li Mao, in case he sends troops to interfere, how should you deal with it?" He and Zhang Yuanli are old friends, but they are mortal enemies with us. ”

Zhu Kerong said with a smile: "Li Mao built a mountain customs in the south of Yingzhou to prevent us from entering Liaodong, the child has a kind of example, and also built a dangerous pass, also called Shanhaiguan, to prevent him from entering the customs, this pass is extremely steep, only three thousand elite soldiers can block him out of the pass, and when I sweep away Yanzhou and rescue Zhang Yuanli, he can only retreat gloomily no matter how many people he has." ”

Zhu Wei said: "Can three thousand military horses really hold it?" You are too careless, Li Mao's command includes Chang Mucang, who is good at small mountain and forest battles, Veteran Xue, who is good at sea-crossing operations, and the Sabre Army who can get into your stomach and turn you upside down. The terrain is too narrow, you can't be at the mercy of him, not only can't stop him, but you may even put yourself in it if you are not careful. I think it's better to be cautious, send 10,000 troops and horses to Pingzhou, since the allies in the south promised to help, let them send 10,000 troops to help, you are in the city, he is outside the city, one is bright and one is dark, so it is safe. Naturally, we won't let them work in vain, and we can give Pingzhou to him in the future. ”

Zhu Kerong smiled and said: "Pingzhou, that's good, if our allies in the south want to swallow it, we have to ask Henghai first if he agrees, I heard that Cheng Zhigong is a very stingy person." ”

The father and son looked at each other and laughed, and Zhu Wei was in a happy mood.

There was a turmoil in Youzhou, and Mu Quanwan, the general of Youzhou, immediately sent troops to surround the Assassin's Mansion, but he did not attack, Zhu Kejian, the assassin of Youzhou, sent someone to see Mu Quanwan and persuaded him to let himself go, Zhu Kejian's reason was that the situation in Youzhou was chaotic, and Mu Quanwan should leave a way back for himself. Mu Quanwan weighed it again and again and agreed to open up the net.

Zhu Kejian fled back to Youzhou with his wife and children overnight, and after returning to the city, he didn't bother to take a sip of water, and asked his father why he wanted to launch a mutiny. Zhu Xun was full of joy when he saw his son return safely, but his face turned pale when he heard these disobedient words.

Zhu Kerong on the side shouted: "You are so bold, dare to talk to your father like this, aren't you afraid of family law?" Zhu Kejian said angrily: "In the past, Yingzhou was robbed by Li Mao, we came to the customs, it was Liu Hong who took in my father and son, and gave Pingzhou to me to the army, which was very preferential. ”

Zhu Xun's face turned blue, his hands trembled with anger, and Zhu Kerong shouted: "Do you think my father is willing, the sergeants mutinied and killed people everywhere, if my father doesn't come forward to do this, how many more Zhang Yuanli will be in the city?" Mi Chunnian persuaded on the side: "Zhang Yuanli's family was killed behind closed doors, if my father doesn't obey them, our family will not be able to escape the murder." ”

"Shut up!" Under Zhu Kejian's rage, he slapped him over, and Mi Chunniang covered her face and cried, not daring to say anything.

happened to be the third Zhu Keding coming over, Zhu Kerong made a look, Zhu Keding smiled and hugged Zhu Kejian, so that he could persuade him away. Afterwards, Mrs. Zhu was afraid that the father and son would quarrel again, and persuaded Zhu Kejian to be sent to Pingzhou.

Zhu Xun hated and hated: "I'm afraid that the rebel will end up colluding with Li Mao to take my head!" ”

Zhu Kerong smiled and said: "The second brother was confused for a while, and he would never do such a stupid thing. ”

When Zhu Kejian heard that he was going to send himself to Pingzhou, he said to his wife Mi Chunniang: "You come with me, let's go to Pingzhou, I don't want to stay in this place for a moment." ”

Mi Chunniang was beaten by her husband in public, she was not happy, and replied: "At the time of the rise and fall of the family, you don't want to help your father and brother, but you blindly want to escape, are you still a man?" ”

Zhu Kejian looked at his wife who had been married for many years, and felt a little strange for a while, and said with a wry smile: "The rise and fall of the family, the rise and fall of the family, the rise and fall of the family is not a matter of days, it is all artificial." On the one hand, he sent the family to a desperate situation, leaving no way back, but on the other hand, he asked me to contribute to the survival of the family. I am a human being, not a god, the general trend has gone, and there is no return. ”

Mi Chunniang hesitated again and again, but still told Mrs. Zhu this, Mrs. Zhu sighed, and ordered Zhu Kejian to recuperate in the city because of his physical illness, and he was not allowed to intervene in military politics.

Li Mao lived in seclusion in Shanhaiguan for half a month, and finally received a letter from Zhang Hongjing to crusade against Zhu Hui, and Zhu Hui alleged that Mu Quanwan, Han Yanlu, and He Hong rebelled and kidnapped Zhang Hongjing.

Li Mao carefully read the two documents twice, and said to Qin Mo: "Our opportunity has finally come. ”

An order was immediately issued ordering the main forces of the 3rd, 5th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, and 11th Divisions to immediately assemble secretly on the front line of Shanhaiguan.

The eyeliner in Youzhou on the right compartment sent the news back in time, and the important news would appear in front of Li Mao after only one day's delay. Analyzing these news, Li Mao found that the entire Youzhou army had been mobilized, and there were 100,000 people, all around.

What made Li Mao slightly dissatisfied was that the right wing had never been able to figure out the real combat strength of Lu Longjun, and the background investigation of the main generals was also very vague, which made Li Mao hesitate, and he was not sure to send troops to intervene.

But with the arrival of the manor, all this became easy.
