After discussing the matter of the captives, Wang Shen said: "Although Yang Mi has escaped, the so-called civil and military officials of the Mani Demon Sect and the pseudo-Chu State have all been killed by me, and the Demon Sect has been completely exterminated by me, and it is impossible to resurrect it." ”

Although he knew that Yang Mi would raise the matter again in a year, and the momentum was even greater than before, Wang Shen didn't want to mention it again to ruin everyone's interest.

"The princes have worked hard in this battle, the troops have seized the time to rest, and the armies have a three-day holiday. Ten days later, the troops returned to their hometowns. ”

"I can finally go back to my hometown." All the generals had smiles on their faces.

This time I came to Hunan for two months, and dozens of battles of all sizes were fought. In particular, the guerrilla war with a small group of Manichaeans made everyone physically and mentally exhausted and exhausted.

Now that everything is over, I can take the holidays, I can go home and reunite with my family.

"Get in, go!" A group of guards pushed two men in.

These two Niu Gao know each other, one is Zhong Xiang's pseudo-prince Zhong Ziang, and the other is Yang Qin, a capable general under Yang Qi.

In the melee in the early hours of the morning, these two people did not escape with the same good life as Yang Mi, but now they are prisoners of the Sizhou army.

Speaking of this Yang Qin, he is a rare warrior in Manichaeism, and in Niu Gao's opinion, his martial arts are not much inferior to himself. In Mingjiao, it can be ranked at least in the top ten. Because of this, and he and Yang Mi are clan relatives, they are quite reused by Yang Mi.

In the days when he mixed into Lianyun Village, Niu Gao and he also had a closeness, both of them were bold people, and their personal relationship was not bad.

I saw that Yang Qin was covered in blood, his face was pale, and he obviously didn't know how many injuries he had on his body. I don't know why, seeing his appearance, Niu Gao felt a little sad in his heart, buried his head down, and couldn't bear to see this man fall into this field.

Niu Gao didn't want to meet him, but Yang Qin recognized him, and his eyes lit up: "Brother Tiezhu, Brother Tie...... Hey, it seems that you are a fine work sent to my sect by the prince of the king, so naturally you don't have a name, but you still ask for advice. ”

Niu Gao had a cold face and arched his hand: "I am the regimental training envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, and now Jinghu North Road and Xiangyang North Road are recruiting and placing the system to serve Wang Dao Sixianggong, and Brother Tie doesn't need to mention it." ”

Yang Qin sighed: "It turned out to be Brother Niu, although you and I are our own masters, but the personal friendship is still there." Brother Niu, brother just wants to ask how is my brother now? It's been a mess for a day, and I haven't heard from my brother, which is really reassuring. ”

Niu Gao: "It's incompetence, let Mrs. Yang kill a bloody way, and get out of Wang Xianggong's net, and Niu has already received twenty military sticks from Xianggong." ”

"God is pitiful, it's okay if my brother is fine, it's okay if it's okay...... What about the younger sister? ”

Niu Gao: "The little sister didn't run away. ”

"What!" Yang Qin screamed, his body froze, and then sighed again: "She still hasn't escaped, poor!" As he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes.

In terms of generation, Yang Qin and the younger sister were originally cousins, but they were nearly twenty years older. When he was in the countryside before, he watched this little girl grow up, and he was better than a brother and sister.

Hearing that she had been captured, I couldn't help but feel sad.

Seeing his sad appearance, Niu Gao couldn't bear it in his heart, and said: "Brother Yang Qin, Niu is forty years old and has not yet married. Just now, Wang Daosi Xianggong had promised her to Niu Gao to be his wife, and she was the matchmaker for the main mother, Mrs. An. Niu Gao vowed to take care of her for the rest of her life, and you don't have to worry. ”

"In that case, then good, then good." Yang Qin sighed and didn't speak again.

Niu Gao couldn't hold back any longer, walked out with a limp, and said to Wang Shen: "Xianggong, Brother Yang Qin is a good person, never does evil, is a good man who stresses righteousness, and asks the military envoy to spare his life, Niu Gao is willing to guarantee with his life." ”

Yang Qin shook his head: "Brother Tie, no, Brother Niu, your kindness Yang Qin has received it." The so-called loyal ministers do not matter to the two masters, and the virgins do not change the two husbands, but I can't let me vote for Wang Shen. ”

Hearing this, the other Sizhou army generals were furious and shouted: "What a man surnamed Yang, my eldest brother Niu pleaded for you with his life, but he didn't know how to do it, and he couldn't kill you!" ”

Yang Qin: "Just want to die!" And he closed his eyes.

Wang Shen was furious, pulled out the Dacheng knife with a sonorous sound, and stepped forward to slash it down.

Niu Gao felt a pain in his heart.

But the expected bloodshot did not appear.

It turned out that Wang Shen's knife did not cut off Yang Qin's head, but cut the rope on his body.

Yang Qin opened his eyes and looked at Wang Shen suspiciously.

"Sure enough, he is a loyal and righteous person, and it is a pity to kill him. I don't want you to come down, so I leave you to take care of Niu Gao. Niu Gao, optimistic about him. Wang Shen threw the Dacheng knife to Niu Gao: "I've rewarded you." ”

Niu Gao liked it greatly, took the knife, and pulled Yang Qin to kneel: "Thank you, thank you." ”

Yang Qin saw that Wang Shen spared his life, and he was also grateful in his heart, and kowtowed three times: "I am willing to die for the minister!" ”

"Haha, get up!" Wang Shen was happy in his heart. In fact, after hearing Niu Gao say that this person was Yang Qin just now, he had the intention to recruit this person.

This Yang Qin is a great figure in real history, after Zhong Xiang was exterminated, he was already the first fierce general of the Ming Sect later, and he caused a lot of trouble to the Yue family army who went to conquer.

Later, Yue Fei used both soft and hard means to recover this person.

Later, Yang Qin became the commander of the Yuejia Army's naval army, and he was a rare talent in water warfare.

Today, Lianyun Village was broken, and such a general was obtained, and the harvest was not small. In the future, when Yang Qi is entrenched in Dongting Lake, Yang Qin can come in handy.

was laughing, suddenly, a voice wailed and howled: "I am willing to surrender, I have surrendered, Wang Xianggong, I am willing to go for your cattle and horses, and you can go anywhere in the sword mountain and the sea of fire." ”

As he spoke, he knelt down with a thud and kept kowtowing.

It was Zhong Ziang who shouted this sound.

Wang Shen smiled: "Zhong Ziang, are you willing to surrender me?" ”

Zhong Ziang cried: "Yes, willing." ”

Wang Shen: "What are you kidding, you are the prince of the puppet Chu court!" Your father was cut off by me, and you are the emperor of the pseudo-Chu. If you don't do it as a good official, why do you want to be my cattle and horses? ”

Zhong Ziang: "What kind of prince am I, and what kind of official family am I?" That's all a joke, Xianggong, spare your life, spare your life! ”

Wang Shen's face turned cold: "Your demon sect has scourged Hunan, killing the Dongting Lake area for thousands of miles, and there are blood stains on your hands. Such a deep sin, but a joke? If I don't kill you, how can I be worthy of the people of Hunan, the court, and the heavens? If you want to do the right thing for heaven today, don't blame me. ”

"Don't kill me, don't kill me." Zhong Ziang was a man when he was on the battlefield, but when it came to life and death, he was completely cowardly. His face was full of snot and tears: "I don't accept it, I don't accept it." You say that I killed hundreds of people, but I am not the only one who killed the people, Zhong Ziang. Did he kill fewer people than my father and son, why didn't you take his head? Isn't it because he wears the official hat of the imperial court on his head? The imperial court, the imperial court is a fart, and the people who have been forced to die and starved to death by harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes over the years have died more than under the swords of our father and son. When my father and son were in Jingkang, Shang Si led his troops north to drive out the Tartars, and what did his Zhao family do, retreat without a fight, surrender without a fight, and lose most of the country at the hands of the Jurchens. Tens of millions of people who died under the sword of the golden man were all given by your officials and the imperial court, why didn't you go to do the right thing for heaven? ”

Everyone was dumbfounded, and they wanted to refute it, but they didn't know what to say.

As for the cavalry generals under Chen Lanruo, they all lowered their heads in shame when they heard Zhong Ziang say that Li Cheng had killed as many people as Manichaeans. They are all from the old Western Army, and they still have the conscience of the Great Song Dynasty soldiers and the pride of the Guanzhong men in their hearts.

Although he did not participate in the massacre of the people of Hunan, after all, he was a soldier of the Li family's army, and he suddenly felt red-faced.

Some people can't help but think in their hearts: Li Tianwang, Li Tianwang, what kind of heavenly king is he. When Lao Tzu used to serve under the old and small breeds, he Li Cheng was just a local tyrant in the countryside. Now that I am with him, I really lose the virtue of our heroes in the Western Army.

Wang Shen snorted: "Strong words, someone will drag him down to correct the Fa on the spot." The heads of him and Zhong Xiang were finely marinated in musk, borneol, and lime. Urgently sent to Jiankang Mansion Du Xianggong Xingyuan to report the victory in Hunan! ”

Two wolf-like soldiers dragged Zhong Ziang down.

Zhong Ziang's voice came: "I don't accept it, I don't accept it, what is the way of heaven, it's just a lackey of the Zhao family!" I advise you, the cunning rabbit dies, the lackeys cook, the birds are exhausted, the good bow, the more powerful you are fighting now, the more you are jealous of the surname Zhao, I am a prince of people, and the emperor's mental skills are the most understood...... I watched the sky at night, and I got the revelation of the Great Ming Zun, this great Song Dynasty luck has been extinct...... It's going to be over...... There is a strong enemy in the north, and there is an internal trouble in the south, and it will be destroyed in the near future. If you are aware of current affairs, find a way out as soon as possible...... Yes! ”

All the generals in the room looked thoughtful.

Wang Shen: "An ugly class, talking about the number of days, it's not a pity to die!" ”

After beheading Zhong Zi's head, Wang Shen immediately asked Kuaima to bring the Jiebao to Jiankang Duchong. Nowadays, the bandits have been eliminated, and the water transportation of the Yangtze River is basically smooth, and it is going fast. If nothing else, half a month can go to Jinling.

At this time, Wang Shen only cared about using troops against Hunan, and he didn't know how Du Chong was doing with the matter of moving the capital to Jiankang Mansion as discussed by Du Chong. If this happens, Du Chong's authority will be a few points greater than what he is now.

Although Du Chong's IQ is not too high, his methods are ruthless and his action is amazing. With him in the court, I think I can fight with Qin Hui in the ring, and if I can't say it, there will be nothing wrong with Qin Hui.

The problem now is that after he has made a great contribution to the annihilation of Zhong Xiang, this official is only afraid that he will have to be promoted to a higher level, and the matter of sending his family to the capital cannot be delayed any longer.

As soon as he thought of this, Wang Shen's head was as big as a fight. [.]
