The corners of Zhang Shuyan's mouth twitched slightly, but Chu Huan didn't look at Hu Zongmao at all, so he pushed Hu Zongmao to the edge of the city, pointed at Hu Zongmao, and said to the people in the city: "This person was Hu Zongmao, the guard general of Hezhou, and the imperial court entrusted the military of Hezhou to him, originally wanting him to lead troops to suppress bandits in Hezhou and ensure the safety of the people, but he raised troops to rebel, and forcibly recruited people, repaired the city and dug trenches, and even pulled those untrained people to the battlefield, so that they could die in vain. The Governor has entrusted his life and death to you, and you tell the Governor, Will he who has done such a scourge to the people live? ”

The people of Jinzhou already regarded Chu Huan as a living bodhisattva at this time, and they didn't have to pay attention to what happened in the middle, they only knew that Chu Huan was a good official, and those who were enemies of Chu Huan were naturally not good people, and some people were already shouting: "Kill this dog official!" ”

For a while, the people shouted one after another, and almost everyone shouted that Hu Zongmao would be executed.

Chu Huan bowed his head slightly, and said loudly: "Okay, this governor will comply with the will of the people today and behead him and the rebellious ministers and thieves who followed him in the city." He said in a deep voice: "Come on, execute!" ”

A group of soldiers pushed Hu Zongmao and Hu Zongmao's generals, who had been arrested a long time ago, to the edge of the city, and pressed their heads between the battlements, and the soldiers who had long held the ghost-headed big knife had already stepped forward, leaned out, raised the knife in their hands, and everyone stared at the city, only to see Chu Huan raise his hand, groan slightly, and finally fall.

The sword flashed, and more than a dozen human heads immediately separated from their bodies and fell from the city like stones, and many people were a little frightened when they saw the bloody scene.

More than a dozen human heads were under the city walls, bloody and terrifying.

Chu Huan waved his hand, and the soldiers dragged all the headless bodies down, Chu Huan looked cold, and said loudly: "This governor promises that he will let you live and work in peace and contentment, and anyone who destroys the stability of Xiguan, no matter who he is, this governor will be inseparable from him." He said in a deep voice: "Where is Fang Rushui?" ”

The crowd immediately came up and said, "The last general!" ”

"This governor ordered you to guard the Golden State, and the bandits in the Golden State will all be handed over to you." Chu Huan turned his gaze to Fang Rushui, his expression was grim, "The people of Jinzhou need stability, and the governor will give them stability, but there are bandits who are doing evil on the ground in Jinzhou, and the governor will hand them all over to you, if you can't guarantee the state??" For the peace of the people of Golden State, the governor can only cut off your head! ”

Fang Rushui seemed to have known that he was going to stay and guard Jinzhou, knelt down on one knee, and said respectfully: "Don't worry, Chu Du, the head of the last general will only be thrown on the battlefield of suppressing bandits, and he will never wait for Chu Du to cut it down!" ”

Chu Huan shook his head and said: "This governor doesn't want you to lose your head, this governor only needs you to keep the Jinzhou side safe!" ”

"The last general obeys!"

Zhang Shuyan's father and son glanced at each other, the corners of their eyes twitched, but they didn't dare to say a word at this time.

Executing Hu Zongmao and appointing Fang Rushui, Chu Huan let the people disperse, returned to the Zhang family's mansion, and summoned Zhang Shuyan and his son, and the father and son reluctantly smiled and paid homage to Chu Huan.

Chu Huan smiled and made the two get up, and said to Uncle Zhang: "General Zhang's performance today has made the governor very satisfied. ”

"The last general swears allegiance to Chu Du, Chu Du has an order, my father and son will go up the sword mountain and go down the sea of fire, and they will also obey the orders." Uncle Zhang said solemnly.

Zhang Han was young after all, and couldn't help but ask: "Chu Du, Jinzhou, you handed it over to Fang Rushui, but you didn't know ...... us!" ”

Before the words fell, Zhang Shuyan had already interrupted: "Chu Du naturally has an arrangement. ”

Chu Huan smiled slightly and said, "General Zhang is right, you are so loyal, how can this governor not make arrangements." I had a conversation with General Zhang last night, and Ben Du remembered that it seemed that he wanted to consider letting your father and son follow Ben Du back to Shuoquan, and with General Zhang's talent, it should be more than enough to serve in the military department...... ”

Zhang Shuyan had already said: "The last general is willing to follow the arrangement of the governor of Chu and join the military department, and the last general will definitely do his best to be loyal to the governor of Chu." ”

Uncle Zhang was scheming, and he thought that Jinzhou would definitely not miss by relying on the Wolf's Tooth Valley Moat, but he never expected that Chu Huan would capture the thief and capture the king with one move, so that the Jinzhou soldiers would fall without blood.

He was naturally extremely annoyed and angry in his heart, but he knew that the situation was stronger than people, and when it was time to bow his head, he had to bow his head, blindly tough, Chu Huan didn't care about cutting off a few more heads.

Only by saving his life can he make a comeback.

Chu Huan laughed and said, "There is one more thing that I have to discuss with General Zhang." ”

"Don't dare to discuss, if Chu Du has any orders, just show them." Zhang Shuyan looked unusually respectful.

Chu Huan thought for a while, and finally said, "Because General Zhang and Major General are to be given other responsibilities, Jinzhou can only be handed over to Fang Rushui for the time being." Although the conditions in this Golden State are bad, Fang Rushui did not dare to disobey, but he made a request to the governor, but he had to bother the two to help! ”

Zhang's father and son glanced at each other, and their eyes showed doubt.

"Here's the thing, General Zhang is guarding Jinzhou, and many of the generals in the Genzi battalion are generals promoted by General Zhang." Chu Huan sighed: "These generals are all warriors on the battlefield, and they have been following General Zhang for a long time, but I am afraid that they will be reluctant to General Zhang, and Fang Rushui wants to reorganize the Genzi battalion, so ...... He was worried that his qualifications were too junior to control General Zhang's subordinates, so he asked the Governor if General Zhang could take them away! ”

The corners of Zhang Shuyan's eyes twitched, in fact, he had thought about this problem for a long time, and secretly thought that it would not hurt if he was transferred away, if he could keep some of his henchmen in Jinzhou, he might not have a chance to make a comeback, although he felt that Chu Huan might have to do something to his subordinates, but after all, there was still a trace of expectation, and when Chu Huan said this, Zhang Shuyan's last hope was shattered, his heart sank, looking at Chu Huan's gentle smiling face, he was speechless for a while.

Pei Ji, who had been sitting next to him and had not spoken, finally smiled and said: "Governor Chu, it seems that General Zhang is grateful and speechless, although General Zhang's subordinates are reluctant to transfer General Zhang away, but General Zhang is definitely reluctant to them." ”

Uncle Zhang's heart was dripping blood, but he finally came back to his senses and said, "What Chu Du said is very true, it's just ...... They are all just rough warriors, and they leave with the last general, and there is no good place to go, if they stay in Jinzhou, they may not be able to help Fang Rushui ......! ”

Chu Huan shook his head and smiled: "This General Zhang doesn't have to worry, they won't go to Shuoquan, this governor asked General Zhang to take them on a trip to the Tianshan Mountains, among them, most of them are natives of the Tianshan Mountains, and they will return to their hometowns, with their talents, Governor Zhu may be of other resignificance." ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang's father and son both changed color, and Uncle Zhang Yan lost his voice and said: "Tianshan? Rao is his cunning and cunning, and he is quiet on weekdays, but at this time, his face can't help but show a look of horror, and he said, "Chu Du, you ...... Are you saying that you want the last general to take them back to the Tianshan Mountains? ”

Chu Huan nodded and smiled: "That's right." The Governor wants to transfer General Zhang to the Ministry of War, but in the final analysis, General Zhang was the person sponsored by Governor Zhu after all, and the work on the scene still has to be done, General Zhang returned to Tianshan, said to Governor Zhu, and by the way, brought that cadre back to Tianshan, Governor Zhu is also a person who knows the general situation, and will definitely not hinder General Zhang's future, and should let General Zhang go to Shuoquan to serve, General Zhang can go to Shuoquan to serve early, and the governor will leave you ...... for the post of director of the Ministry of War! ”

Zhang's father and son's faces were like ashes, and Zhang Shuyan's eyes showed despair, and said: "Chu Du, the last general hates Zhu Lingyue to the core, and never wants to see him again, and asks Chu Du to be gracious, don't let the last general go to Tianshan." ”

"Could it be that General Zhang is afraid of Governor Zhu?" Chu Huan sighed: "Actually, General Zhang doesn't have to be like this, although Governor Zhu is sometimes confused, but in the eyes of this governor, he is still a reasonable person, since this governor wants to use General Zhang, Governor Zhu will not give this governor face?" He took a letter and said, "This is a letter written by the Governor to Governor Zhu, and General Zhang saw Governor Zhu and handed it over to Governor Zhu." ”

Uncle Zhang Yan opened his mouth, where could he speak, but he thought in his heart, Zhu Lingyue hates you to the bone, and he can't wait to eat your flesh, how can he give you face.

In order to save his life, he could only cooperate with Chu Huan, with the knife on his head, so his attitude towards Chu Huan was very respectful, and he did his best to cooperate with Chu Huan's requests, hoping to please Chu Huan and have a chance to make a comeback.

Even when Chu Huan vaguely proposed to let him reveal Zhu Lingyue's true face to the people of the city, Zhang Shuyan did not hesitate to agree, today's words in the city, he was passionate, very hardworking, and completely made Zhu Lingyue an enemy, hoping that this would make Chu Huan truly accept himself.

But at this time, he realized that Chu Huan just treated him as a chess piece from beginning to end, maybe from the beginning, Chu Huan had arranged everything for him.

Some words, Chu Huan himself said, are far less convincing than Zhu Lingyue's old generals, today's words at the head of the city, Gu Rang will not make all the soldiers and civilians in Jinzhou believe it, but the vast majority of people must have been affected by the image, at least Zhu Lingyue's glorious hero image in Jinzhou has collapsed, and his words today will soon spread, and it won't be long before even the entire northwest knows that Zhu Lingyue's old general Zhang Shuyan stepped forward and exposed the ugly truth of Zhu Lingyue.

Of course, Zhang Shuyan knew how much Zhu Lingyue cared about his reputation, for Zhu Lingyue, fame was a resource, and having the hearts of the people in the northwest was very important to Zhu Lingyue.

He could even guess how angry Zhu Lingyue would be when he knew what he had said in Jinzhou City, and at this time, he would undoubtedly kill himself when he returned to Tianshan.

At this moment, he finally understood that the young man in front of him, who seemed to be quite gentle, was very ruthless in his bones, and in an understatement, he not only used himself ruthlessly, but also finally borrowed a knife to kill people.

Zhang Han had never said a word, but at this time, he suddenly stood up, glared at Chu Huan angrily, and sneered: "Chu Du, is this asking our father and son to go back to death?" ”

Zhang Shuyan's face changed, and he immediately grabbed Zhang Han's arm and asked him to kneel down again, but Chu Huan had already picked up the hot tea that was presented, and didn't explain much, and said, "General Zhang, is there anything else that needs to be cleaned up?" However, the governor doesn't need to pack anything, after seeing Governor Zhu, you will go to Shuoquan to take up your post, and the luggage still has to be sent to Shuoquan, so there is no need to be so troublesome, the things in your house, the governor will let people transport a lot of things to Shuoquan, I just hope that General Zhang will hand over the letter to Governor Zhu as soon as possible, and go to Shuoquan as soon as possible. ”

Uncle Zhang arched his hand and said: "That is the case, the last general will obey the order." Kneeling in front of Chu Huan, he took the letter, carefully put it away, still with a respectful attitude, and said: "The last general will turn around and lead a cadre to go to Tianshan first, and after handing over the letter to Zhu Lingyue, he will immediately go to Shuoquan, and Chu Governor will take care." ”

He was thinking in his heart that Zhu Lingyue would definitely not be able to go there, and he was still thinking of pretending to take refuge in Chu Huan and waiting for the opportunity to make a comeback, but now it seems that the young governor in front of him is also a guy who eats people and does not spit out bones, even if he can leave Tianshan alive and go to Shuoquan, sooner or later he will be killed by Chu Huan, and he has already made up his mind not to go to Tianshan, nor to Shuoquan, and take his subordinates to the north to join the Xiliang people.

Xiliang people have always attached great importance to the rebel generals who took refuge in the Central Plains, Xiao Tianwen is to defect from the Central Plains, and now the official residence is the king of the South Courtyard of Xiliang, and he goes by himself, after all, he is also a rebel general in the Central Plains, and Xiao Tianwen is the same, when the time comes, climb Xiao Tianwen's thigh, there may not be no chance to get ahead in Xiliang, this Central Plains has no place to stay, or it is better to leave.

Chu Huan saw that Zhang Shuyan was willing to go over, and his originally somewhat unhappy expression suddenly appeared with a smile again, and he bowed his head and said, "Since this is the case, then there is General Lao Zhang." In this case, let's not delay, you can go now. He shouted, "Hatred is blood!" ”

A person immediately came in from the outside, one-eyed and one-armed, and Chu Huan had already ordered: "You lead two hundred brothers to escort General Zhang and others all the way to the border of the Tianshan Sandbank, and you must let the defenders of the Tianshan Mountain pick up General Zhang, and you must ensure their safety." Looking at the pale Zhang Shuyan, he said with a smile: "General Zhang, Qiu Ruxue is a fierce general by the side of the governor, and he will lead two hundred elite cavalry to escort you along the way, and he will definitely be able to ensure your safety." He arched his hand and said: "General Zhang, Major General, take care all the way!" ”

Qiu Ruxue didn't wait for Uncle Zhang to speak, and said coldly: "General Zhang, please, the brothers are ready, just wait for the two of you to set off!" ”

Uncle Zhang's heart sank to the bottom, but Chu Huan just smiled and said: "General Zhang is leaving, and the governor still has official business, so he will say goodbye here." He bowed his hand very politely again, and went to the back hall with Pei Ji, and hung Zhang's father and son in the hall.

Zhang Han took the lead in getting up, Zhang Shuyan wanted to get up, but his whole body was weak, and he couldn't get up for a while, Zhang Han hurriedly helped him up, turned his head and glared at Qiu Ruxue, Qiu Ruxue looked indifferent, his eyes were cold, and he said again: "Both, please!" ”

When the father and son went out of the mansion, they saw that two hundred cavalrymen were already waiting, and one of their own cadres and generals were all wearing ordinary clothes at this time, and they were waiting one by one.

Chu Huan was obviously still very polite, and prepared two carriages for the family members of Zhang's father and son.

As the sun set, Zhang's father and son finally walked out of the Lanyi City Gate and walked a few miles, Zhang Shuyan suddenly turned around, but saw the head of Lanyi City, Chu Huan was wearing a wolf armor and helmet, and was looking at it from afar.

"Zhu Lingyue, your luck is really bad." Zhang Shuyan looked up at the gray sky and muttered, "You have really met a powerful opponent!" ”
