Chapter 164 Still ran away
When the battle report of Er Zhurong's victory reached Luoyang, the army of the imperial court had not even been assembled, and Yuan Ziyou felt in a trance after hearing it, and he could only sigh secretly after reacting. 【Fengyun Reading Network. 】 :efefd
When he heard that Er Zhurong had sent troops without regard to the holy decree, Yuan Ziyou was also very angry, he could tolerate Er Zhurong's domineering, but he was extremely disgusted with Er Zhurong's approach of ignoring the overall situation, but Yuan Ziyou was soon relieved, in his opinion, Er Zhurong was by no means Ge Rong's opponent, once Er Zhurong died in battle, the power of the Erzhu clan would collapse in an instant, and he himself would immediately get rid of the suppression of this powerful minister, and as long as he could personally command the imperial army to defeat Ge Rong, his prestige would be unprecedentedly high at that time, No one in the world wants to manipulate him casually.
Not only Yuan Ziyou is not optimistic about Er Zhurong, but the ministers of the imperial court are also roughly the same, many of them have been secretly running, ready to turn the tide when the news of Er Zhurong's death comes, sweep away Er Zhurong's power in the imperial court, and let them regain power as a sectarian clan.
However, the result surprised everyone, and some ministers of the imperial court scolded Ge Rong for being useless behind their backs, and if this rebellious rebel army knew that its defeat would be complained by the emperor and the court officials, and they didn't know how to feel.
Yuan Ziyou knew that this big cake in Hebei was about to fall into the hands of Er Zhurong, although he was unwilling but helpless, who made Er Zhurong so capable of fighting, who made it seem that Ge Rong could not be so vulnerable
Although he was not happy in his heart, after all, it was the court that won the battle, Yuan Ziyou had to pretend to be happy, and he had to reward Er Zhurong, the person he was most tired of.
"It seems that God has helped General Yuzhu," Yuan Ziyou smiled helplessly.
After Yuanzi said slowly, an elegant man with a face like a crown of jade reminded him: "It should be God who is helping me Dawei."
Yuan Ziyou heard that there was no way but to smile bitterly, "This time Taiyuan Wang Li's credit is indeed not small, I don't know what to do with him"
The elegant man thought for a moment, then arched his hand and said: "Lord Er Zhurong is already a very popular minister, and now it is more appropriate to crown him as the general of the national pillar."
"That's it, just give him the title of General of the National Pillar", Yuan Ziyou slowly got up and sighed. "I ordered the four-way army to jointly crusade against Ge Rong, that Yuan Tianmu has just set off, as for the other two armies have not even been assembled, but this battle has already been fought, since the reward will be in place in one step, give the position of the prime minister to Er Zhurong, and his sons will also be crowned kings"
"It's all Your Majesty, Hong Fuqi's genius, and the soldiers are victorious," the elegant man continued on the side. His words were extremely plain, and he had a bit of a posture that did not eat the fireworks of the world.
"That's it. Other people's rewards will be said later" Yuan Zi slowly paced a few steps, and then said slowly, as if casually: "Pengju, last time you told me about the assassination of Dong Zhuo in the Three Kingdoms, I have some questions and want to discuss with you."
Pengju is the name of this elegant man, this person is Wen Zisheng, a scholar from the Middle School, he is a famous genius in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and he is one of the famous three masters of the North.
Wen Zisheng was noncommittal when he heard this, and leaned over and said: "Your Majesty asks, the minister should know everything, and he will say everything."
After all, Fukou is much farther away from Luoyang than Yecheng. When Yuan Ziyou arrived at the news, Er Zhurong had already entered Yecheng with soldiers and horses, and the Yecheng defenders had more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in the city defense alone, but they not only did not resist, but welcomed Er Zhurong into the city with great enthusiasm.
After all, Er Zhurong was a guest army, how could he not be suspicious when he saw this scene, so he didn't dare to enter the city. When he saw Chen Yu standing in the greeting procession, Er Zhurong was completely relieved, and he trusted his prospective son-in-law more.
When the news of Ge Rong's defeat reached Yecheng, the defenders in the city were also stunned, some of them suggested surrendering, and some suggested immediately going to Yuwen Luosheng to preside over the overall situation. Others suggested defending the fortified city, and then gathering the rebel armies scattered all over the country, and then electing a "true king" to fight against the imperial court.
The opinions of the people were confused, and they could not be unified at all, and just when everyone was arguing, several people suddenly appeared and immediately resolved the disputes of the people. Not only that, but the defenders of the city will immediately turn against them.
These people are the broken six Han peacock, Wei Kegu and Helian En, these three people are the backbone of the righteous army, they are not only the sworn brothers of the six Han Baling, but also the first few powerful generals of the righteous army, and now many of these guards were their subordinates at the beginning, seeing that these three people did not die, everyone did not hurry to take refuge.
If it was in the past, although the deterrence of these three people was still there, it was not enough to make everyone defect, and there was also a diehard existence of Ge Rong here, but fortunately, Ge Rong was no longer able to return to the sky, so there was no pressure on them to take refuge in the three old elders.
The central dispatch of these people, coupled with Chen Yu's repeated assurances, all the defenders in the city surrendered soon, which is also the reason why Chen Yu did not send Helian and the others away before.
After all, what Chen Yu wants is not only Yecheng, but the hundreds of thousands of townspeople in the six towns are what Chen Yu wants most now, of course, the prestige of these people alone is far from enough, and at this time, Chen Yu's economic advantages are completely reflected.
Needless to say, Huaishuo now has undergone earth-shaking changes in Wuchuan and Woye Town, these border towns that were poor in the past are now not extremely rich, but at least they are a well-off place, and the townspeople of the six towns do not need to be summoned, many people will take the initiative to go back, and these people will fall into the hands of Chen Yu at that time.
As for Yecheng, although Chen Yu coveted it, he couldn't occupy it, because he didn't have the strength to turn his face with Er Zhurong now, and Er Zhurong was an important figure in the world, Chen Yu was too late to protect him, and of course there was Er Zhu Ying'e's relationship.
For the town of Yecheng and even the whole of Hebei, Er Zhurong did not have a suitable candidate for a while, the Erzhu family did not have the talent to govern one side, and reluctantly said that Erzhu Tianguang and Erzhu Shilong were qualified, but one of these two wanted to guard the base camp of the Erzhu family, and the other needed to monitor the emperor in the capital, so Er Zhurong had to keep Yecheng by himself for the time being.
He expected that Er Zhurong would send his cronies to guard Yecheng sooner or later, after all, Er Zhurong himself would not stay here forever, and in such an important place, normal people would not rest assured that they would be handed over to outsiders.
That's right, although he is close to Er Zhurong now, he is still an outsider for the time being, but Chen Yu believes that with his own business efforts, even if Yecheng is nominally guarded by others, his own power can still firmly take root in Hebei.
When He Batsheng arrived with his soldiers and horses, Chen Yu was completely relieved and had the arch guard of the army. He didn't have any scruples about developing in Yecheng, which made Chen Yu regret that although He Batsheng defeated the Yuwen brothers, he didn't capture them, and Yuwen Luosheng and the others still ran away to be continued.
