Zhang Xianzhong kicked over the guy kneeling in front of him, pulled out his waist knife, and directly cut him over.

He was angry and annoyed, he touched the iron plate in Luzhou City, but he didn't expect that in this small nest' county, he also hit a nail, and compared to Luzhou, he lost the second king Zhang Jinjia!

The people who fled back didn't dare to breathe, this moody Eight Kings, born with a murderous surname, is not a good-tempered living Bodhisattva!

"Lao Hui, the king of chaos, is cunning, and directly sends these people to our Lao Tzu, but he is sluggish, clearly knowing that he has encountered hard stubble again, and wants to preserve his strength!"

Zhang Xianzhong thought to himself, but these guys just collapsed when they heard the wind, and they didn't even know who the officers and soldiers who killed Zhang Jinjia were and how many of them were!

"Hopefully, you go and gather Zhang Jinjia's men, and those people will be under your command from now on!" He pondered for a moment and looked at his son: "Find a few people who can speak human words, and ask what is going on!" ”

Zhang Kewang's heart moved, suppressed the joy in his heart, and went out in response.

This is the opportunity that Zhang Xianzhong gave him!

Although before, he always led Zhang Xianzhong's personal soldiers to go out of battle, but those elites belonged to Zhang Xianzhong after all, and he couldn't command at all without the order of his father-in-law. But now it's different, Zhang Xianzhong's intention is to let him lead the army alone!

In the past, Zhang Jinjia was nominally Zhang Xianzhong's general, but in fact his own surname was very strong, for example, after he invaded the imperial tomb in Zhongdu, he forced Yang Ze, the eunuch who guarded the town, to take out 20,000 taels of gold to buy his life, and the 20,000 taels were swallowed by himself and were not handed over to Zhang Xianzhong, and Zhang Xianzhong couldn't help him.

Therefore, although Zhang Xianzhong was angry that Zhang Jinjia was killed, he also saw this as an opportunity to completely annex Zhang Jinjia's department.

His army soon joined Lao Hui and the sweeping king, and after a while, Zhang Kewang came with several people, all of whom were ridden by Zhang Jinjia and knew the details of what had happened.

"When you entered the city, it happened that Shi Kefa, the guard of the four prefectures, also entered the city, and was almost captured by you?" Hearing this news, Zhang Xianzhong's eyes kept turning, if he could capture Shi Kefa and force Zhucheng to open the city, it would be a lot of trouble. Even if the officers and soldiers don't open the city, at least they control Shi Kefa, and the four mansions of Anluchi lack unified scheduling, and their attacks will be much smoother!

But this opportunity was not seized!

"Yes, the villain pursued Shi Kefa by land and water, and caught up at the mouth of the water, but then he met a ...... A village brave and strong people were dispersed for it. ”

"Scattered by the brave people of the village? Who's that? ”

"The enemy claims to be inaction, Yu Guozhen ......"

"Shhh

Zhang Xianzhong took a breath, his eyes were full of murderous intent, this name, he didn't remember it very well, but just a few days ago, Zhang Kewang mentioned it once, so he suddenly remembered that it was this person who ruined his plan to disrupt the situation in the southeast last year!

"And then?"

"The second king was also killed by this Yu Guozhen's general......"

This time Zhang Xianzhong was not angry, he listened carefully to these defeated soldiers to tell the story of the war, and then nodded slowly. Zhang Kewang saw that he didn't have anything to ask, so he sent these people away, and then said: "Father, the child is willing to be the vanguard, go and capture Wuwei for his father, and take down the head of Yu Guozhen by the way!" ”

"Are you sure?" Zhang Xianzhong snorted: "Although Zhang Jinjia is reckless, he is very brave, and he is folded in the hands of the surnamed Yu...... You're still tender! ”

Zhang Kewang was furious, puffed up his chest and said: "When it comes to the most familiar with the surname Yu in the army, it is none other than the child, a year ago, the child began to stare at the movement of the surname Yu, if it is said that among the generals, who can beat the surname Yu, it must be the child!" ”

"Okay, Wu'er has such courage, you will command the headquarters, I will give you another 5,000 people, and then you go to Lao Huihui and the King of Chaotian, and let them also lend you some soldiers and horses, gather 10,000 people, and attack Wuwei!" Zhang Xianzhong said with a smile.

Zhang Kewang turned around and led people away, and only when he walked away did he remember that Zhang Xianzhong was using the agitation method.

When Zhang Kewang went to order troops to prepare to attack Wuwei, Yu Guozhen's fleet had already returned to the mouth of the water, and the fleet was not in a hurry to return to Wuwei, but temporarily anchored.

"Dazhu, how about our losses?" When he woke up from a nap, Yu Guozhen asked Gao Dazhudao.

"Sixteen of us were killed and nineteen wounded, and eleven of them were afraid that they would not be able to fight again." Gao Dazhu reported: "The subordinates of the thieves are more difficult to deal with than the enemies we have encountered before. ”

Yu Guozhen was also a little worried, he only had more than 300 people in total, and he was injured in this battle, and this battle was relatively smooth!

"Can enemy casualties be calculated?"

"The casualties of the rogues cannot be fully counted, but it can only be estimated that there are more than 500 killed, more than 2,000 wounded, and nearly 5,000 people who have fled."

In other words, at the cost of more than 30 casualties, they defeated nearly 10,000 rogues, and this is only a conservative estimate. Such a result can be regarded as a great victory, but thinking of these guards of his own, each of them is a trained specialist, even if it is the fifth phase, they have all practiced for more than three months, and for a while, they cannot be replenished at all, Yu Guozhen is still a little unhappy in his heart.

"It's a pity that we don't have enough manpower, if we have enough manpower, we can investigate the captured rogues, and maybe we can include the good families who are coerced in them into the family guard." Yu Guozhen muttered.

"Petty officials, even if they are included, they have to prevent them from defecting in front of the battle."

"Yes, yes." Yu Guozhen was dumbfounded, he didn't have the power of the political commissar of later generations, how could he turn the rogue into a strong soldier on his side in the blink of an eye! However, you can try, if not make them soldiers, at least make them auxiliaries, right?

"Have you ever counted the number of captives?"

"As the petty official said, we are short of manpower, and all the prisoners are tied to the boat behind, and the villain estimates that there are about fourteen or five hundred."

They broke into the county seat of Chao', and not only drove the remnants of Zhang Jinjia out of the city, but also seized the ships that the thieves had prepared, although they were only small boats, but there were many of them, there were dozens of them. Of course, these ships could not be cheapened by the thieves, and Yu Guozhen ordered the seizures from the thieves in Chao's county town to be loaded onto the ships, and drove these prisoners to work as coolies, and everything went extremely smoothly. Afterwards, these captives were also tied up on the ship and brought back.

"Wu Ya, have you counted the results?" Thinking of the seizure in Chao's county, Yu Guozhen asked Ye Wuya again.

"Little official, this time it is considered to be rich, Zhang Jinjia is among the thieves, not only brave in battle, but also very good at looting, his subordinates have a preliminary inventory, only gold has more than 28,000 taels, more than 73,000 taels of silver, 32,000 taels of money, and all kinds of utensils, there are countless of them. In addition, there were one hundred and fifty stones of grain, and six hundred horses of silk......

"Sure enough, I made a fortune." Yu Guozhen also showed a slight smile, all of these add up, which is equivalent to more than 200,000 taels and nearly 300,000 taels of silver, Zhang Jinjia has collected all the way, but it is cheap for him - he can just use these silver coins to implement his next plan!

"What about the captured military funds?" He asked again.

"One hundred and fifty guns of fire, which have not yet been tested, I don't know how many people can use them, 1,100 pounds of gunpowder, and in addition, four Francos machines have been seized, and it took a lot of effort to get them on board."

"There's a Furlong cannon?"

Yu Guozhen was even happier when he heard this, although the money was good, it could not be turned into combat power immediately, and the Franc machine gun was different, whether it was defending the city or fighting in the field, these big guys could come in handy.

"The subordinates have specially checked it, and there is no problem with the four Franc machines." Ye Wuya knew what he meant.

"We'll leave the matter of compensation for the casualties, Dazhu, to you." Yu Guozhen ordered.

"Yes." Gao Dazhu nodded with a serious expression.

Casualty pension, there are corresponding rules in the Hosoyanagi Courtyard, however, this casualty mainly appeared in the fifth phase of the new arrival, the vast majority of them, are orphans without families, a few have families, and have long lost contact, so there is not much money really used for the pension.

"In addition, since there are so many seizures, and we have a little more leniency on hand, you immediately go back to the town and announce that whoever moves to Xinxiang will make up one hundred taels of silver per household."

"Huh?" Gao Dazhu was stunned, and then asked, "What if the people from the surrounding villages and towns want to follow?" ”

"As long as you are willing to obey the rules of our other hospitals, it doesn't matter who you are." Yu Guozhen pursed his lips and said.

He urgently needs a lot of manpower, and only with enough manpower will he have enough troops and labor.

"Wuya, you arrange for people to send those gold and silver to Jinling, and only leave a part here." Yu Guozhen said: "Leave 10,000 taels, I will be useful." ”

"Yes." Ye Wuya also had to be ordered to go.

After arranging these, the fleet continued to move forward, but in two hours, it was time to do nothing. At this time, the four gates of the county seat have been closed, and there are soldiers standing in the city with nervous faces, and as soon as Yu Guozhen's fleet approached, the city was suddenly very nervous.

Shi Kefa was in the city, and when he heard that a fleet was coming, he also hurried to the city, and when he found that the other party's flag was the word "Yu", his heart was really mixed.

Yu Guozhen's home guard was moored outside the city, and then one after another got off the boat, Zhang Pu followed Shi Kefa and said with a smile: "It seems that Yu Jimin has not suffered any casualties, and he really deserves to be a young tiger of Wuwei!" ”

Shi Kefa didn't make a sound, just watched Yu Guozhen's people get off the boat, and then the prisoners who got off the boat behind, those prisoners tied their hands and strung them together, and they were driven out of the city, and then someone moved out of nowhere to move a table, and asked the prisoners to go and ask questions one by one, while recording something.

"Yu Jimin doesn't know what he's doing...... Brother Dao Neighbor, An Luchi wants to defend it so much that he has to use the power of Yu Jimin to get a little bit of mustard, so let's expose it. Seeing that Shi Kefa didn't respond for a long time, Zhang Pu was a little unhappy, and he said directly.

Shi Kefa glanced at him, still didn't respond, for Zhang Pu, Shi Kefa already had some opinions in his heart, at the beginning of the conflict between him and Yu Guozhen, it was completely provoked by Zhang Pu, and then with the sharpening of Xu Xiake's article on "Storm Collection", Shi Kefa still doesn't think he has anything wrong, even if Yu Guozhen saved his life, he is also grateful, but in his opinion, at the moment of righteousness, this little personal kindness is nothing.

At least, he can't be like Zhang Pu, when what happened doesn't exist, he gets together to curry favor with Yu Guozhen.

At this moment, he saw a few people from Yu Guozhen's side walking towards the city gate, Shi Kefa's eyes were sharp, and he saw that it was Bao Wenda, Shi Jingyan and others, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Commander Bao is also safe and sound!" ”
