Chapter 586: Coming Forward
On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, Tingzhou City, which is covered with snow, must be very lively at this time of the year, even if it is hundreds of miles away, herdsmen and farmers will come to Tingzhou City to catch up with the market in these days this year, some people will buy some New Year's goods for the New Year, and some people will rush to Tingzhou City to sell some game, fur, charcoal, cloth, etc. in exchange for money, and let them buy some wheat grains and salt, and some buy some meat to go home so that the family can eat a few meals of tooth sacrifice.

But today's Tingzhou City looks a little lifeless, the city is poor in materials because of the siege of the Han Navy these days, and the rich merchants and eunuchs can't buy good things to live a good year even if they are rich and powerful.
In the morning, Zhao Ziliang came to the outside of Tingzhou City with a few personal soldiers, and met his family members in a house outside the city.
Zhao Ziliang met with his family first, appeased his wife and children, and sent someone to notify his henchmen, Chu Ge and others immediately rushed to Zhao Ziliang's house outside the city after receiving the notice.
Zhao Ziliang was talking about trivial matters at home with Chen Qingying and Nie Sanniang, and the housekeeper Wang Ru reported: "Master, Lord Liu and other officials and generals have arrived, and they have arranged to serve tea in the outer hall!" ”
"Okay, I see, you wait outside first!" Zhao Ziliang gave an order, and without waiting for Wang Ru to answer, he said to Chen Qingying and Nie Sanniang: "I still have something to discuss with them, how to spend this year, you can watch and do it!" ”
The two girls promised: "Yes, the concubine will definitely be done!" ”
Zhao Ziliang got up and came to the outer hall with the housekeeper Wang Ru, and all the confidant officials and generals were talking and laughing while drinking tea, without any nervousness and panic because of the tension and panic that made Wang Zhengjian tear his face apart.
Zhao Ziliang walked into the lobby, and everyone stopped talking after seeing it, stood up and hugged their fists, and gave their hands, and everyone said New Year's blessings.
"Okay, I also wish you all a good year, all the best in the new year, and a happy family!" Zhao Ziliang smiled and hugged his fists and saluted everyone.
After walking to the main seat and sitting down, Zhao Ziliang pressed his hand and said: "Sit down, I already know the situation here in Tingzhou, Lord Liu, what is the current situation of the Tianshan Army and the Great Desert Army?" ”
Liu Wei got up and arched his hand and said: "General, the Tianshan Army and the Great Desert Army are still under control, they have rushed to the outskirts of Tingzhou a few days ago, and they are currently participating in the siege of the city, camping in the north and south of the city respectively, and the order is quite good!" ”
Zhao Ziliang nodded and said, "Okay, no matter what, the army can't be messed up!" ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Ziliang looked at Li Sheng and asked, "Li Sheng, I heard that you killed Lu Wentong?" ”
Li Sheng stood up and replied honestly: "At that time, the general was impulsive, and he was willing to be punished by the general!" ”
Zhao Ziliang frowned, waved his hand and said: "Now is not the time to hold you accountable, the following crimes have always been taboo, this has nothing to do with being unreasonable or unreasonable, as long as you do it, even if it is reasonable, the world will not tolerate it!" You've left someone else with a trick in doing so! How many people knew about it at the time? ”
Li Sheng thought for a while and said: "The generals and colonels of the Han Navy who were present at that time personally participated in the killing of Lu Wentong and his personal soldiers, and no one can stay out of the matter, but many soldiers should know that Lu Wentong died in our hands!" ”
Zhao Ziliang thought for a moment and then instructed Liu Wei: "Lord Liu, pass on my order, issue all the gag orders related to Lu Wentong in the Han Navy, Lu Wentong has never appeared in the Han Navy, and no one in the army has seen Lu Wentong go to the Han Navy, in the future, anyone will have to mention this person's name, and violators will be punished for violating military orders!" ”。
When everyone heard Zhao Ziliang say this, they immediately understood what Zhao Ziliang meant, since Lu Wentong did not go to the Han Navy to take office, and he did not appear in the Han Navy camp, then this person can only be treated as missing, as for the reason for his disappearance, who knows? Even if someone wants to investigate, I'm afraid it's not a matter of a while, and with Lu Wentong's character, I'm afraid that no one is willing to stand up for him.
Liu Wei smiled slightly, and arched his hand: "Xia Guan understands!" ”
Zhao Ziliang looked at Chu Ge and said: "You are the first military envoy after the Desert Army has been reorganized, you will continue to manage the Desert Army, waiting for reappointment, no accidents can occur during the siege, and the soldiers must be strictly ordered not to plunder the surrounding people, otherwise this general is the only one who asks!" ”
Chu Ge stood up straight, clenched his fists and bowed, "The last general obeys orders!" ”
Zhao Ziliang looked at everyone again and said: "In the past, Han Zhen was a good man, he was the deputy envoy of the soldiers and horses, and he also served as the envoy of the Tianshan Army, but the general was not good at letting him move his position, otherwise the appearance would be too ugly, although some reliable generals were sent to the Tianshan Army, but we could not fully control the Tianshan Army, and now Wang Zhengjian has done us a favor and removed Han Zhen, this time it is just time for our own people to be the Tianshan Military Envoy and completely control the Tianshan Army!" ”
Everyone nodded when they heard this, and Dugu Jun arched his hand and said: "The general is reasonable, this time we can completely set aside Wang Zhengjian and appoint our own people to the position of the Tianshan military envoy!" ”
Zhao Ziliang got up and walked to the door of the lobby, and saw that there were still some scattered snowflakes flying in the sky, he turned to face everyone and said: "Tomorrow is the New Year, it seems that in order to let the soldiers and the people in Tingzhou City have a safe and comfortable New Year, we must finish the aftermath before tomorrow, Lord Gao, you send someone to shout under the West City Gate, let Wang Zhengjian send someone out to talk, and see how to solve this matter!" ”
Gao Shi got up and agreed: "No, the next official will arrange it immediately!" ”
Soon a lieutenant was sent to shout under the West City Gate, and soon Du Jianhong was once again lowered from the city wall by the hanging basket and entered the Han naval camp.
This time it was still Li Sheng who met him, Li Sheng saw him, and symbolically hugged his fists and said: "Lord Du, let's finally meet again, and tell you good news, General Zhao has been invited back by us!" If the person in charge of the city still wants to talk to us, he must first reply to General Zhao Han's position as naval envoy! ”
Du Jianhong had already discussed this matter with Wang Zhengjian when he left the city, and he was also authorized by Wang Zhengjian to negotiate with the Han Navy on behalf of the Jiedu Embassy. When he saw Li Sheng talking about this condition, he immediately agreed: "Okay, this official agreed on behalf of Wang Dashuai on this matter, and Wang Dashuai also regretted the removal of General Zhao's naval envoy, and he shouldn't have listened to the slanderous rumors of his cronies and made trouble with General Zhao like this!" ”
"In that case, Lord Du, please go back first and let Wang Dashuai send an appointment document, and after General Zhao receives the appointment, all the soldiers of the Beiting Army outside the city will nominate General Zhao to negotiate with the city on our behalf!"
Du Jianhong couldn't figure out what the hell these generals wanted to do, and let Zhao Ziliang negotiate with the city as a representative? Is that appropriate? Zhao Ziliang doesn't know how to avoid suspicion? This is what he planned and agitated behind the scenes, and he was embarrassed to negotiate with the city as a representative?
Du Jianhong couldn't figure it out, but since he couldn't figure it out, he didn't think about it anymore, and immediately took his resignation and left, and soon took Wang Zhengjian's appointment letter and handed it to Li Sheng, who asked him to go back to the city and wait for news.
After Du Jianhong left, Li Sheng immediately took the appointment document to see Zhao Ziliang, Zhao Ziliang took the appointment document and looked at it, put it away, and immediately said to Dugu Jun: "This general is still the military envoy of the Han Navy, in this name, I will notify the generals of the battalions of the Han Navy to come to discuss the matter, and at the same time, in the name of the general's Beiting soldiers and horses, I will notify the generals of the Tianshan Army and the Desert Army to rush over to discuss the matter, if there is any disobedience, the military law will be engaged!" ”
"No!" Dugu Jun agreed, got up and walked outside to arrange for the herald to convey the order.
Zhao Ziliang's name was really official, and when the generals and colonels learned that Zhao Ziliang had returned and gave an order for them to go to the meeting, they immediately rushed over.
The place of discussion was set up in the big tent of the Chinese army camp of the Han Navy, and every general and colonel who walked into the big tent must salute Zhao Ziliang, and Zhao Ziliang nodded and asked them to wait beside him.
After a while, the generals and colonels of each battalion of the three armies were basically assembled, and Zhao Ziliang said: "Everyone has arrived, now let's start the discussion." The original intention of all of you to bring troops to surround Tingzhou City, this general already knows, there are people above who have really done something inappropriate, remove the generals and colonels without reason, change the regulations of the army without authorization, and drag the military salary for a long time, the brothers are dissatisfied, this general can also understand, but this is not the reason for you to take the lead in the mutiny, the nature of this matter is actually very serious, but fortunately, you have maintained your sanity and controlled the army and did not make greater mistakes, which this general thinks is worth celebrating, and it is also your luck, if you attack the city, No one can save you! I summoned you here this time to ask you, are you still obeying the general's orders? ”
When everyone heard that you look at me, I look at you, after a few seconds of silence, they all stood up and bowed in unison: "There is a general in charge, I am convinced!" ”
Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "Very good, General Ben hopes that you will remember what you just said, from now on, if anyone dares to disobey General Ben's military orders, everything will be done according to military law, and there is no favor to talk about!" The general will give an explanation to the officers and men of the whole army in the next few days, and now you all go back to restrain the soldiers, without the general's order, no one is allowed to act rashly, and whoever makes trouble in the battalion, the general will find whom! Do you get it? ”
Everyone clasped their fists again and said, "Obey!" ”
After sending these generals away, Zhao Ziliang instructed Liu Wei: "Lord Liu, you make arrangements, I want to go into the city to talk to Wang Zhengjian, it's time to have a showdown with him, you can't let the soldiers celebrate the New Year in the ice and snow, right?" And without the deterrence of the Tianshan Army and the Great Desert Army, I am also a little worried about the Zhuyue Department and the Qarlu people in these two places! ”
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and they persuaded one after another, Gao Shi said: "The general must not enter the city, entering the city at this time is tantamount to a meat bun beating a dog, there is no return, then Wang Zhengjian saw that the general himself sent the door, wouldn't he laugh so much that his teeth fell out?" ”
Zhao Ziliang's face showed his self-determination, "At this moment, Wang Zhengjian wants me to come forward to settle this matter more than anyone else, how dare he be unfavorable to me?" You don't need to persuade anymore, I have made up my mind on this matter! (To be continued.) )
