Back two days ago, Han Shige surrendered to Yang Xuangan under the persuasion of Li Mi, at the dust washing banquet, he talked with Yang Xuangan, and found that there were still some relatives, Han Shige and Yang Xuangan's mother were both born in the Rongyang Zheng family, and they were cousins who were relatively close in blood, and the relationship between the two was invisibly much closer. At the table, Yang Xuangan glanced at Li Mi, and Li Mi nodded secretly.

"Come on! Brother Shifu, I will give you a drink. ”

"Brother Fa Master is polite, come and do it." After Han Shige and Li Mi had a drink, Li Mi deliberately made a bitter look. Han Shige wondered in his heart:

"Brother Fa Master, why is it so depressing?"

"Don't hide it from Brother Shimo, there is not much food and grass in our army, I'm afraid it can only last for half a month."

"Master, what are you talking about, why haven't you told me about such a big thing?" Yang Xuan looked at Li Mi angrily, and Li Mi lowered his head in panic, like a child who had done something wrong.

"General, you have always been busy with military affairs, and we are eager to attack Luoyang, I think, this Luoyang has been run by the faint monarch for many years, and most of the world's wealth is in Luoyang, so I want to 。。。。。。"

"Then you should tell me too!" Yang Xuangan's tone became more and more severe, Li Mi's voice became smaller and smaller, and the atmosphere at the banquet became colder and colder.

"Brother Li, isn't there anything else to do?"

"There's a way to solve this problem right away. That was to occupy Rongyang, which was the largest granary in the Central Plains, specializing in supplying supplies to Liangjing and Guanzhong. As long as we take this place, half of the world will be ours. When Han Shige heard this, he immediately took this task on himself.

"This Rongyang will be handed over to the little brother to get it! I just came here, and I didn't have the size of the work, plus my mother is a member of the Rongyang Zheng clan, if they are willing to do the internal response, this matter will be much easier. ”

"Good! Since Brother Shimo is in charge, I will write another letter to my uncle Zheng Yuantong, asking him to assist you in doing the work of differentiation in the Zheng family. This glass of wine is used as the grand wine of Brother Shimo, and after Brother Shifu returns, a table of celebration wine will be set up. Hahaha! The next day, Han Shige took the three thousand soldiers and horses allocated to him by Yang Xuangan to fight Rongyang. Rongyang was too guarded by the mansion, and Zhang Peiyu was anxiously going back and forth in his room. He is now almost sixty years old, and he will be able to resign and retire in a few years. But who knew that there was such a thing as Yang Xuangan's rebellion, and he also sent soldiers to Rongyang, once this Rongyang City could not be defended, if he couldn't escape, he would be caught by the rebels, and it would be a head-killing end, even if he was not killed, if Yang Xuangan failed at that time, he would also bear the charge of failing to defend the land, and the emperor would not let him go.

"Hey! Someone! Pass my order and order all the generals and servants of the Rongyang Taishou Mansion to go to the city to defend, and never go out of the city to meet the enemy. Also, close the four gates, and no one can go out of the city without my warrant. ”

"Yes!" After his subordinates went out to give orders, Zhang Peiyu's heart calmed down. 'Hmmm! Let's go to Zheng's house to inquire about the news! This is the nest of the Zheng family, if the Zheng family wants to help Yang Xuangan, it is the old man who tries his best, as long as they give an order, someone will immediately open the city gate regardless of the order of the government, and it is possible to dedicate Rongyang City. But if they are willing to assist the government, then this Rongyang City is impregnable. Thinking of this, Zhang Peiyu seemed to have found a light in the darkness, and there was a glimmer of hope in the midst of hardship.

"Someone! Prepare a sedan chair and go to the ancestral house of Zhengfu. When he came to the door of Zheng's mansion, Zhang Peiyu's attendant knocked on the door, and a porter poked his head out:

"What a person!" Hearing the tone of the porter, Zhang Peiyu felt very uncomfortable, but there was no way, as the saying goes, the prime minister is a seven-grade official in front of the door, even if Zhang Peiyu becomes the prime minister, an official like him who has risen step by step from Bai Ding and has not had many years of family accumulation does not dare to have any dissatisfaction in front of the gate valve clan.

"Oh! Rongyang Taishou Zhang Peiyu asked to see Lord Zheng. The porter ignored it and said directly.

"Our lord is not a guest, please go back!" Hearing this, Zhang Peiyu's old face blushed for a while, purple for a while, but in the end, the official was small and the official position was small, and he couldn't put on the official line, so he had to sit in the official sedan chair and leave the gate of the Zheng Mansion. In the Zheng family's ancestral house, the people who stayed in the Zheng family went to the conference hall together. The current patriarch of the Zheng family is Zheng Yi's younger brother Zheng Su, Zheng Yi vomited out a mouthful of blood after hearing that Emperor Wen died, unconscious, after the doctor's diagnosis and treatment, he was finally old, and people couldn't speak, and Zheng Weikang inherited the title, but after all, his prestige was insufficient, and before Zheng Yi had a stroke, he gave Zheng Weikang and Zheng Su an explanation, plus Zheng Su's generation was there, and he had no children in his life, he watched Zheng Weikang grow up since he was a child, so he temporarily became a minister and took the position of the patriarch of the Zheng family, and after Zheng Weikang's prestige was enough, and pass the throne of the patriarch to him. Other members of the Zheng family who stayed behind include Zheng Yi's son Zheng Yuancong, Zheng Yuantong of the fifth room, Zheng Xinglong, the son of Zheng Guangxing, and Zheng Xiaoning, the son of Zheng Yuanxiu, the younger brother of the third house. Zheng Su, the patriarch of the Zheng family, spoke first.

"Everyone, our Zheng family is now in danger again, now Yang Xuangan mutiny, the army is in Rongyang, if we are not careful, we will lose all the time, I hope you can focus on the ancestral family business and come up with a way." As the patriarch for this period of time, Zheng Su has found his position, and he is no longer as hot-tempered as before. Zheng Yuancong doesn't speak, since the failure of the Han Dynasty, Zheng Yi suppressed him before he had a stroke, he has now become a shrinking turtle, he never speaks first in case of trouble, but he also has his own ideas at a critical time, no one dares not to listen to his opinions, Zheng Guangxing is an ironclad emperor party, so Zheng Xinglong is actually Yang Guang's eyes and ears in the Zheng family, Zheng Xiaoning's age is still young, his opinion will not be accepted by everyone, now everyone wants to hear Zheng Yuantong's opinion, he is Yang Xuangan's uncle, Everyone's eyes were on him, trying to see what he meant. This left him with no bottom in his heart. To tell the truth, in order to seize the position of the patriarch, he matched them with the Zheng family in the south, who knew that it was to seek skin with the tiger, after Zheng Guangxing returned to the Zheng family, he used Yang Guang's support to expand his own industry, after Yang Guang became the emperor, he vigorously supported Zheng Guangxing, and now the industry under his name is not less than any of the Zheng family's houses, even Zheng Yuantong has to look at Zheng Guangxing's face at this time, he is a little depressed, when he heard the news of Yang Xuangan's rebellion, he was a little surprised, and later heard that he was all the way after splitting things, He seemed to think that the world was going to change hands again. If Yang Xuangan succeeds, he is the emperor's uncle and the founding father, but can Yang Xuangan succeed? After thinking about it, he still tilted his head to the sky and didn't speak. For a while, the atmosphere was a bit deadlocked. Zheng Su knew what everyone thought, and he first said to Zheng Yuantong:

"Yuantong, Yang Xuangan is related to you, won't there be any news to reveal to you if he starts the army now?" Hearing this, Zheng Yuantong's face immediately turned red. 'Could it be that the matter of my meeting with Yang Xuangan's messenger was discovered by them, and I have their eyes and ears by my side, who is it?' When you see that I am down, you will step on me, what should I do now? These old foxes, what are they going to do? I had a lot of questions in my mind. I don't dare to have half a point of change in my face.

"Hmmm! I'm about to tell the patriarch about this? Now the messenger has arrived in my mansion, and there is a letter from Yang Xuangan to me, asking the patriarch to take a look at it, and Han Baohu also brought me a message, saying that his mother is also from the Zheng family, let us help. As he spoke, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Zheng Su with both hands.

"I haven't read a word of this letter!" Zheng Su opened the letter, and as soon as he saw the beginning, the fire in Zheng Su's heart immediately came up. Slap one hand on the table.

"Uncle Yuantong, since Yang Guang ascended the throne, perverse, angry and resentful, now my nephew rebels, punish evil demons, and return the world to peace, now our army is not good at food and grass, I hope that my uncle will read the love of flesh and blood, pull the Zheng family, dedicate Rongyang City, make up for our army's grain and grass, and after the world is peaceful, the high-ranking officials will be rewarded, so that my uncle will become the first family in the world."

"What high-ranking officials and lords, what heavenly anger and resentment, it is really a demon to confuse the public, this thief should be beheaded." Out of anger, a palm print appeared on the table. When everyone saw it, they were jealous of Zheng Xu's martial arts.

"Needless to say, just with this letter, I think Yang Xuangan should be broken into pieces." As he spoke, he passed the letter to the other people present. After reading it, the others knew that as long as they relied on this letter, whether they participated in the rebellion or not, their heads were no longer on their necks.

"Follow the old patriarch's orders."

"Good! Zheng Yuantong, where is the person who sent this letter? ”

"It's in my courtyard, and I've put him under house arrest with good food and drink. Let him wait for my news. ”

"Excellent! You stabilize him now, and someone else will come to find Zhang Peiyu, and say I want to see him. Xinglong, if you write a letter to the emperor, and also write a letter to your father, just say that Yang Xuangan rebelled, and our Zheng family did its best to help quell the rebellion, so that the emperor should not worry. After I finished writing, I personally sent someone to deliver it. Let him say a few words to us in front of the emperor. And when he had given the order, they all went their separate ways. Zheng Yuantong returned to his other courtyard, and a family member stepped forward.

"Master, that person has been waiting for you in the guest room, and he is already a little impatient, and he is losing his temper there!" Zheng Yuantong frowned and followed his family to the guest room.

"When will your lord come to see me, I've been waiting here for two days."

"Don't worry, my lord, my lord will be back soon. Master! When the man heard the servant shouting to him, he looked at the door.

"Oh! Master Zheng, you're back, what do you mean? ”

"Sir, don't worry! We have just made a resolution to fully assist General Yang. Someone! As I prepare the banquet, I want to have a few drinks with my husband. Listening to Zheng Yuantong's words, that person's face softened a little. At the wine table, Han Shimo's lobbyist Xiang Zheng Yuantong asked:

"Master Zheng, how are you going to help!"

"Haha! Sir, you're in a hurry. When I first came out, I saw that my uncle had already gone to invite Lord Taishou, and I believe that as long as we Zheng family said a word, he would not dare not listen. ”

"Oh! Oh, yes! The Zheng family is the emperor here in Rongyang, with the assistance of your Zheng family, I think the day of the great cause of the general is just around the corner! ”

"Yes! My husband has been here for so long, and I still don't know who my name is. ”

"Oh! Under the surname Yang, named Chengyu, he is also a distant family of Yang Laozhuguo, in terms of seniority, I still want to call General Yang Xuangan an uncle! ”

"Oh! It turned out to be Lord Yang, who was disrespectful. I will salute Mr. Yang again, and if General Yang can achieve his great cause in the future, I hope that Mr. Yang will help me in the DPRK! ”

"Where, where! Master Zheng is the general's uncle, and he will ask the master to help him in the future! The two laughed, as if Yang Xuangan had become the emperor. At this time, a family member of Zheng Yuantong came to Zheng Yuantong's side and underestimated two sentences, and took out a letter to Zheng Yuantong. Zheng Yuantong handed the letter to Yang Chengyu with a smile.

"The old patriarch has already agreed with Lord Zhang Peiyu, and the day after tomorrow will open the city and surrender, in addition to Rongyang Cang, he is also transferring 100,000 stone military food from the Zheng family's grain warehouse to the general, but we have several conditions, all written in this. Please follow the instructions inside. When the time comes, we will not wait. ”

"Okay! I'll definitely bring it. It's not too early, so I'm going to say goodbye. ”

"Good! I will send you out, and the guards will not embarrass you with my men. Han Shige looked at the letter in the barracks, and said that he was willing to give full support, but Rongyang is the nest of the Zheng family, and there can be no war, in addition to Han Shige and his subordinate generals, other soldiers are not allowed to bring weapons. Han Shige thought about this letter, he felt that the request in this letter was a bit excessive, but if he didn't agree, Yang Xuangan would blame him, how could he be a newcomer, he had no merit, and it would be difficult to do anything in the future, forget it, the Zheng family is not only Yang Xuangan's uncle, but also my uncle. He told Yang Chengyu that he had promised to bring grain and grass over tomorrow, and when it was dawn early in the morning after tomorrow, he would open the city gate and welcome them into the city to receive defense. Yang Chengyu took the order and left. The next day, Han Shige waited in the barracks for the first batch of grain and grass materials sent by the Zheng family, he immediately divided half of it and transported it to Yang Xuangan's barracks, Yang Xuangan was very happy after receiving the grain and grass, and sent someone to praise Han Shige, Han Shige slowly let down his guard, and took people early the next morning according to the agreement, except for a few generals, the other soldiers did not bring weapons, and arrived at the west gate of Rongyang together.

"Hurry up and open the city gate, our General Han has come to receive the defense and surrender." Suddenly, I heard a cannon fire on the castle tower, and immediately after that, a rain of arrows fell, and many of Han Shige's soldiers were shot dead and killed. The gates of the city were immediately opened, and the young general, thinking that he was on a horse, rushed out with a spear in his hand.

"Bold rebel, Xu Shiji is here!" Han Shige bullied him as a young general, lifted his sword and fought with him, who knew that Xu Shiji's martial arts were strong, and he was stabbed in the shoulder by Xu Shiji in less than four rounds, Han Shige knew that he was not Xu Shiji's opponent, so he quickly lost his weapon, fled back on horseback, and his soldiers were killed by Xu Shiji because they had no weapons.
