Chapter 515: The Rise of Northern Jin (22)

Zou Qun and the others had just brought Liu Shen and Zhao guerrillas out of the cart, and the cavalry that came out of the city gate also came closer, and the first three flew off their horses and walked towards them.

The man in the middle is a little thin, with a long beard fluttering, and is wearing a narrow-sleeved robe with a bird embroidered on the robe, which looks like a golden chicken.

The two on the left and right were slightly behind, both tall and wearing mountain armor, the one on the left was older and bearded, and the one on the right was obviously still a teenager.

Zou Qun took the lead and arched his hand, "I've seen Governor Geng, Master Zhang, and Captain Sun." Everyone behind him followed him to see the ceremony, even those who were as unruly as Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai were no exception.

After that, Zou Qun took a step forward with his left leg and was about to kneel.

"Alas, in times of war, there is no need to make such a great gift." Geng Ruqi smiled warmly, walked a few steps, came to Zou Qun, stretched out his hand to support Zou Qun, and stopped him from kneeling.

Then a hand patted Zou Qun on the shoulder a few times, "The soldiers of Zhangjiakou have worked hard to quell the chaos tonight, and if they give a big salute again, wouldn't they want to torture us and others, right, Brother Honggong." The last two sentences were said to Mr. Zhang, who was slightly behind him.

"What your lord said is very true." Zhang Honggong bowed slightly, "Although there is a small mess tonight, it will not cause a big disaster, it is all the credit of the soldiers of Zhangjiakou, of course, your strategy is also indispensable." "A little slap on the back.

Geng Ruqi and Zhang Honggong had been stationed outside Zhangjiakou Xiabao before the incident, and when Xiabao opened the city gate to welcome them into the city, the major event had been decided, except for a number of generals and their families who were brought to Shangbao City, thousands of people from eight grain merchants were killed cleanly, and all food, gold, silver and other things were found out, and they were waiting for them to take over.

Time was pressing, there were many belongings, and there was no time to even count them, so with the Datong soldiers they brought, supplemented by some of the mercenaries of Sun Kewang and Zou Qun, they found a safe place, hurriedly gathered all these things, and then set fire to the mansions of the eight grain merchants.

The people of these eight grain merchants, except for the hundreds of heads of the Eastern and Northern Guards, the rest of the people were all reduced to ashes in this fire.

The Datong soldiers brought by Zhang Honggong did nothing more than carry, set fires, and extinguish fires during tonight's operation.

Then Governor Geng waved his hand, borrowed flowers to offer Buddha at the moment, and gave the soldiers on the scene a reward with the money and food that had just been confiscated.

Now that everything is over, it is time to accept these generals in Zhangjiakou, as long as these people surrender to sincerity, and then hold on to the aftermath of this matter, I believe that the entire Xuanfu will fall into the palm of their hands, and their own Xuanda Governor is no longer in name only, and it will not be long before those Yang and those Yang and Yin in the city will not dare to disobey themselves again.

Thinking of this, Geng Ruqi was in a good mood, and leaned to the right slightly, "Ke Wang, this time, you Zhuolu has the greatest credit." ”

"The Governor has an overreputation." Sun Kewang can also be regarded as experienced, and he owes himself, "It's all planned by you and Lord He, we just act according to orders." ”

Geng Ruqi didn't speak, and patted Sun Kewang a few times to show his affection, this matter is obviously based on them, and he just picked up a bargain, Zhuolu Trading Company knows how to advance and retreat.

Of course, this was the idea that Geng Ruqi and Zhang Honggong did not know the actual control of the Zhuolu trade union in the lower echelons of the border army.

Whether it is Song Xiance or Sun Kewang, they all tell them lightly that they have met a few small leaders of the Zhangjiakou border army through border trade, and they can use silver money as bait to let them agitate the border army, capture the generals, kill the grain merchants, and then use the grain merchants' money and grain to appease the border army, so that Governor Geng can take full power.

Mercenaries or something, Sun Kewang didn't say a word, Zou Qun They also know the severity, and no one will say that it is Geng Ruqi, Zhang Honggong, and He Wenrui, who don't know the slightest bit about Zhuolu's influence in the border army, so far, the cooperation between the two sides is still very pleasant.

After the greetings were over, Geng Ruqi came to General Liu Shen, who was held hostage by Zou Qun, stroked his long beard, and coughed lightly, "Old man Geng Ruqi." ”

"Poof!" Counselor Liu didn't make any moves here, and Zhao Guerrilla behind him had weak legs and had already knelt down, "Little... The young general has seen the governor. ”

The tradition of the Ming Dynasty has a long history, even if the grade of the military generals is one or two grades higher than the civil officials, it is also looked down upon, the two sides meet, the scene of the military generals kneeling and bowing to the civil officials is not uncommon, not to mention that Geng Ruqi, as the governor of Xuanda, is a dignified civil official, and his status is much higher than that of these generals.

Geng Ruqi ignored Zhao Guerrilla, his eyes looked at General Liu Shen fixedly, Liu Shen turned his eyes, looked at the governor in front of him, and thought about the families of the generals behind him, and seemed to understand a little.

Sighing secretly, he pushed away the two soldiers who were supporting him, his legs were weak anyway, and he knelt on the ground, "The last general has seen the governor." ”

Geng Ruqi treated these two generals, but he was not as warm as a spring breeze like Zou Qun just now, neither stopping nor supporting, letting the two of them kneel on the ground like this, holding their hands behind their backs, and looking at General Liu coldly.

After a long while, Geng Ruqi spoke, "General Liu, are you guilty?" ”

"Back to the Governor, the young general... I don't know what the sin is. "General Liu has actually softened his heart a long time ago, especially after seeing Geng Ruqi, he doesn't want to be strong at all, and he is working against the governor, but he still doesn't know what this adult wants to do, and he asks this to get to the bottom of it.

"Hmph, as a general of the border, you actually let Jiannu and Beiyu's fine work mix into Zhangjiakou, kill people everywhere and set fires, resulting in deaths and injuries in the upper and lower forts, what crime should you be guilty of!" In the last sentence, Governor Geng said that his voice was full of color, and his beard was windless.

"Governor... Governor! Zhao Guerrilla, who was kneeling behind, was immediately anxious when he heard this, this murder and arson was obviously done by these border soldiers, and looking at the attitude of the border soldiers towards the governor, it was respectful, what kind of cat was hidden in it, I don't ask it, but now I want to put the responsibility of dereliction of duty on my own generals, this heart is too dark.

This matter can be said to be big or small, but when it involves Jiannu and Beiyu, it will be troublesome.

Soon after ascending the throne today, His Majesty was very strict, especially with the Eastern Prisoner, and he was never soft, after the first battle of King Qin, he cut off a lot of heads, and even the smash hit Jiliao Governor Yuan Chonghuan lost his life this autumn.

I wanted to distinguish, but I couldn't justify it, so I rolled my eyes and fainted cleanly.
