Wu Kui's life and death are unknown, and it is completely impossible to confirm his identity by relying on a charred corpse alone. Han Jiang ordered the people to dig three feet into the city, and they had to dig people out. In the case of a heavy siege of the city, there are walls and trenches, no one will think that Wu Kui can escape.

Unlike Han Jiang and Chong Ge, their impetuousness and impetuousness, Han Gang reported an indifferent attitude towards Wu Kui's whereabouts. He only needed 3,000 coolies. Although he already had a faint feeling about things, he still pretended not to know anything.

If Wu Kui really absconded in his incarnation, his means of surviving in death could be regarded as bold. And as Han Jiang said before, Wu Kui is smart enough. The righteous Bo Yuntian in front of him showed that the rebels who followed him did not take the initiative to betray him when the city was besieged. Now that he has absconded, Han Gang doesn't expect these rebel generals to provide much useful information - with Wu Kui's wisdom, it is impossible for them to know their whereabouts. There are even a few people among them, who always think that Wu Kui didn't want them to be difficult, and took the initiative to self-immolate.

But since Han Jiang and below, no one in the Xuanfu Division will think so, so the city is still searching.

It's just that when Wu Kui first joined the army, he lived in Xianyang for a few years, and the geography was familiar, so it was not so easy to search.

In addition, after Wu Kui entered the city, he controlled the rebels under his command very strictly, and also beheaded two soldiers who committed crimes as a warning, and the reputation in the city was not bad. On the contrary, the officers and soldiers who entered the city to search for it made some mistakes. Let Yanda grit his teeth and beat them with a military stick at the gate of the city.

Hearing about this, You Shixiong said to Han Gang in private: "Wu Kui is smart, so that people can understand that his rebellion is out of helplessness." ”

forced the excellent generals who governed the army strictly, if it weren't for Wang Wenliang's death in battle and Han Jiang's clearance, this alone would have blocked him in a panic.

Before Wu Kui was found, Han Jiang didn't dare to live in Xianyang City rashly, and returned to the camp outside the city. Han Gang and other Xuanfu subordinates also returned with him. The rebels who surrendered were placed under the city, that is, in the open area between the two walls, to prevent them from rebelling.

The war was eliminated, and in order to prepare for the front and clean up the follow-up, You Shixiong was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground. I couldn't get busy, so I pulled Han Gang's helper, who looked idle. Han Gang has been doing things in the yamen for a long time, and one can be used for five people. The two capable officials worked together and quickly straightened things out.

The work at hand became easier, and You Shixiong gossiped with Han Gang, "Wu Kui's matter reminds me of a person. ”

"Who?"

"Nong Zhigao!"

"Ahh It's him! When Han Gang heard this, he was suddenly stunned. By the way, the Guangxi Nong rebellion that was exterminated by Di Qing was also like Wu Kui, and the protagonist of the rebellion, Nong Zhigao, was burned so much that he couldn't recognize his identity, "Wu Kui is indeed like Nong Zhigao!" It's the same way to escape. He remembers a lot of these past battles......"

"Yukun, didn't you think that Wu Kui was really dead?" You Shixiong frowned and asked Han Gang, "If he doesn't want people to get this credit, self-immolation is the best means." Don't forget Di Wuxiang, he didn't get the credit for catching and killing Nong Zhigao because he couldn't confirm his identity. It is not certain who dares to report it, and if it suddenly appears, it will be the crime of deceit. ”

"Uncle Jing, don't you think that the iron spear around Wu Kui to prove his identity is a little unreasonable?" Han Gang also asked rhetorically.

"But at that time, the Nong people even had the fake Pingtian crown and jade seal, which were on Nong Zhigao's corpse."

Han Gang was confused for a while by You Shixiong's words, but when he recalled the situation when he saw Wu Kui yesterday, he couldn't believe that Wu Kui would self-immolate. But it's not bad to let people think of it as this, it has nothing to do with him. It's also quite interesting to watch Yan Da commanding his soldiers and turning over every brick in the city in a hurry.

But Han Jiang was very sorry and said to Han Gang: "It's a pity that Yukun has your credit." ”

"The surrender of the rebels has little to do with the lower officials, but with the officers and soldiers outside the city...... If it is said that the lower officials have a small merit, then the Lu Dujian in front also has a merit. ”

The things of the world do not afflict the few, but suffer from inequality. Since he failed to get the rebels out of the city in the first place, and he had to wait for a night before surrendering, although this credit can be counted on Han Gang's head, there is always something to discuss and attack, and Lu Yuan will definitely come out to fight. It just so happened that Han Gangben had no intention of doing this, so he simply didn't want it. Anyway, Han Jiang will definitely report it, excuse himself, and leave a good impression in front of the Son of Heaven, and the results will be better in the future.

In addition, Han Jiang also has no credit, he regrets Han Gang, but it is just empathy. Forcing the rebels and building walls to besiege the city are all due to others. As long as Wu Kui didn't catch it, Han Jiang didn't have the face to ask for a piece of cake for himself. Seeing Han Gang pushing the concession, although he was puzzled, but in his current mood, he had no intention of asking more.

Lifting the curtain and coming out, the wind in the night was slightly cool, and the fresh air was refreshing, so that Han Gang, who was dizzy from the oil smoke in the tent, was refreshed.

It was late at night, and the city was still searching for Wu Kui's whereabouts, and the city was brightly lit. But whether you find it or you can't find it, except for it related to Han Jiang and others, it can't affect the overall situation. At the time of the rebels' surrender, the mission of the Shaanxi Xuanfu Division had come to an end.

On the side of the big tent, the small tent with lights still lit is where Zhao Zhan lives. Most of the envoys of the Son of Heaven are now happily preparing to attack Han Jiang. Before Han Jiang's arrival, it was under his command to contain the rebels in Xianyang City. And after Han Jiang arrived, he just picked up his cheapness, but he still didn't catch Wu Kui. Compared with the two, Zhao Zhan certainly had a reason to laugh at Han Jiang, and he thought that he would also knock Han Gang by the way.

chose to be the enemy of Zhao Zhan, Han Gang did not regret it. Although he had no intention of standing on the side of the New Party at the beginning, the current situation in the DPRK is one of one or the other, and he has no right to stand on the sidelines and watch the excitement.

The old party took the maintenance of the ancestral rules as its own responsibility, and paid attention to advancing in an orderly manner, and even Lu Huiqing, Zhang Dian and other capable ministers with outstanding talents were said to be fortunate to advance, so how could he have a foothold in Hangang? It is only on the side of the new party that there is room for newcomers to get involved. In order for himself to be promoted smoothly, he can only choose Wang Anshi and his new party.

As for Zhao Zhan, Han Gang didn't care at all. is also an envoy of the Son of Heaven, but there is a Wang Zhongzheng who has reached the most important point in Luo Wu City, how will this king evaluate the rebels and Luo Wu City?

Ten days flew by.

Yan Da still didn't find Wu Kui after all, there was a precedent for Di Qing, and Han Jiang didn't dare to say that the charred corpse was the remains of Wu Kui himself. The culprit was not caught, and the credit for suppressing the rebels was greatly diminished.

And the results of the Shaanxi Xuanfu Division also came out of Beijing.

Tongzhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi, Zhaowenguan University Scholar Han Jiang, changed the view of Wendian University Scholar, and sentenced Xuzhou. The success of the Yokoyama Raiders is a failure, and it is reasonable for him to go to work. However, Han Jiang can still reassign the Daguanwen as the old example of the prime minister's resignation, which shows that it is not a degradement, but just an ordinary prime minister going out - Xuzhou [Xuchang] is also close to Bianjing, and it cannot be regarded as a demotion.

Shaanxi Xuanfu Division, temporarily succeeded by Guo Kui of Zhijing Zhaofu. It's just that Han Jiang has the power to act cheaply, Guo Kui applied to the imperial court, but he was not allowed. In Han Gang's view, Guo Kui's mission is mostly just to end the mission of the Shaanxi Xuanfu Division.

As for Zhao Zhan and Wang Zhongzheng, they were both recalled to Jingzhong.

"In recent years, Guanzhong has been quiet."

These days, Han Gang's friendship with You Shixiong has become better and better, and while waiting for Guo Kui to take over, they gathered together to comment on the intentions of the court.

"The intentions of the imperial court and the Son of Heaven are already obvious, and in a short period of time, the hinterland of Guanzhong will not be able to withstand the second chaos."

"Now it's up to the imperial court to deal with the rebels," Han Gang sighed, "I hope there will be a good result." ”

"You don't have to worry about this now." You Shixiong smiled at the surprised Han Gang, "There has been news from the imperial court recently that Qin Feng Road is going to be separated from Shaanxi Road. ”

……………………

It's getting late, and Zhao Ji, who has been in a bad mood these days, is becoming more and more impatient, but the privy envoy Wen Yanbo still insists on asking to see him outside the palace.

"Tell Wen Yanbo, I'm tired, let him have something to say tomorrow!"

Hearing Zhao Ji's unceremonious words, Li Shunju hesitated, but still turned around and left.

It's just that he didn't take a few steps, and Zhao Xutu shouted behind him again, "Come back!" ”

He said to Li Shun, who turned around: "Let Wen Yanbo go to the Chongzheng Hall and wait, and I will go over in a while." ”

Zhao Ji didn't want to resign from the privy envoy in anger now. Now, Han Qi, Fu Bi, Zeng Gongliang and other former dynasty ministers have gone to their posts one by one, and if Wen Yanbo leaves again, there will be no more veteran ministers in the court. Although Wang Anshi and others are over fifty years old, their qualifications in the court are still shallow. And Zhao Ji also needs a different voice to stay in the court. Many of the words left by the ancestors are also reasonable, and there is no need to abandon every one.

It's just that although Zhao Ji agreed to summon Wen Yanbo, he still didn't want to see this privy envoy in his heart.

If it weren't for Wen Yanbo's tough opposition, he had to send more Zhao Zhan out, and now Kansai might be a different situation. Wang Zhongzheng was able to enter Luo Wu in person, and in the team after the break, he faced the pursuit of the western thieves. Although Zhao Zhan took a little merit in besieging the rebels in Xianyang, his several meddling in the military also broke a lot of things. Especially forcing Luo Wu to withdraw his troops, it made Zhao Ji's heart ache.

More than 2,300 beheadings, plus the privy council, and a party clan, and they defeated the party army head-on. The more I think about it now, the more Zhao Ji regrets it, if he had made a different choice, maybe the matter of Hengshan would have been decided.

The young emperor couldn't bear such thoughts, and couldn't help but regret it.

Thinking of the opportunity to completely solve the thief, I passed by him, and remorse was like a poisonous snake, devouring Zhao Ji's heart.
