Chapter Seventy-Four: The Brigade Has Arrived

When Zhang Xu was brought out, he almost couldn't believe his eyes!

Wang Hengyue, I actually saw Wang Hengyue here?

At first, the new army mutinied, and Zhang Xu, who came here to inspect, was detained here, Zhang Xu thought that he would die, but he did not expect to meet Wang Hengyue here.

Since Wang Hengyue is here, maybe he won't have to die, right?

In fact, from the beginning of the mutiny of the New Army, Zhang Xu clearly saw that the uprisers were destined not to succeed!

And his family is in Chengdu, as long as he follows these people together, the safety of the family is really worth worrying about, it is better to die by himself in exchange for the safety of his family, so that he can get some money!

With such a thought, no matter how the other party threatened and lured, Zhang Xu never agreed.

Xiong Kewu looked at Zhang Xu, and then hugged Wang Hengyue: "Young shopkeeper, Zhang Xu handed it over to you, 10,000 taels of silver, I hope you don't break your word!" ”

Wang Hengyue knew that Xiong Kewu was protecting himself, and he also arched his hand at the moment: "Don't worry, I have already delivered 10,000 taels of silver!" ”

Saying that, he exchanged glances with Xiong Kewu: "Zhang Guan, go!" ”

As soon as he walked out of the door, Zhang Xu, who had been holding on strongly, almost collapsed, but fortunately, Wu Qianlong on the side helped him not to fall.

"Wang Bangdao, brother Shuzhi, I" Zhang Xu wanted to say a few words of gratitude, but found that no matter what he said, he couldn't express his gratitude.

Wang Hengyue smiled slightly: "Zhang Guandao, after the junior brother knew that you should not mess with the party, he had no choice but to use his name and use silver to redeem Zhang Guandao, and finally fulfilled his mission." ”

"Brother Shuzhi" Zhang Xu finally came back to his senses: "Brother's life was saved by you, in the future, you will still call me the voice tube in front of outsiders, there are no outsiders, if you want to look up to me, just call me brother, in the future, we will live and die together, and share blessings and woes!" ”

"Brother Zhang!" Wang Hengyue was also not polite: "This is not the place to talk, hurry up and leave with me!" ”

Back in their barracks, the brothers breathed a long sigh of relief when they saw that the officers had returned safe and sound.

According to Zhang Xu's intention, he wanted to take this opportunity to enter Leshan in one fell swoop, and he gathered those brothers who were still holding on to the arsenal to cooperate with the outside to completely quell the rebellion.

However, Wang Hengyue said that he could not act until the brigade arrived, and rushing in so rashly would cause unnecessary casualties, which reluctantly made Zhang Xu swallow this breath.

Before night, Liu Hongkui, the commander of the 66th standard, had already arrived with a large team of men and horses, and immediately called a meeting of all his subordinates.

It is a consensus to attack the city by force and put down the chaotic party in one fell swoop, and the key is how to fight and how to fight.

"Wang Hengyue, you are the first to arrive, tell me, how to fight?" Liu Hongkui's eyes fell on Wang Hengyue.

Wang Hengyue stood up stubbornly: "Back to the words of Lord Biaotong, it is not difficult to pacify the Leshan Rebellion, the key is what to do after it is pacified." ”

"What should I do?" Liu Hongkui sneered: "Kill!" Those rebellious parties that were killed will never dare to make trouble again! ”

"Wise Standards!" The subordinates said in unison.

Liu Hongkui no longer asked Wang Hengyue's opinion: "The whole army listens to the order, strictly monitors Leshan tonight, and waits for the artillery team to arrive early tomorrow morning, bombards Leshan, and attacks from all sides, and does not allow the rebel party to live a single mouth!" ”

"Yes, attack together, leave no mouth alive!"

Wang Hengyue sighed softly, the time to come is still here after all. Why did the revolutionary party rise up without taking into account the problems that would arise after the defeat?

Liu Hongkui looked at Zhang Xu: "Zhang Xu, you are not strict in governing the army, causing your subordinates to mutiny, although you refuse to be a thief until death, it is difficult to get rid of the crime, and you are removed from the post of manager, and you still stay on the throne to wear the crime and make meritorious service!" ”

"Thank you!"

"Disperse, early tomorrow morning, let's break the thief together!"

Walking outside, Wang Hengyue thought about it, was unwilling, and turned around and walked in: "Biaotong, my subordinates have something to say." ”

"Speak!" Liu Hongkui didn't raise his head and said.

Wang Hengyue stiffened his head: "My subordinates think it's inappropriate to bombard the city with artillery." ”

"Oh, why?" Liu Hongkui finally raised his head.

Wang Hengyue paused slightly: "Lord Biaotong, artillery attacks are naturally easy to succeed, but this is also easy to cause a large number of casualties among the people, besides, there are our own brothers in the city, the shells have no eyes, and at the same time as quelling the rebels, I am afraid it will also cause a large number of innocent casualties." In case it gets out, I'm afraid"

"This standard is united in its determination to quell rebellion and be loyal, who dares to say that I don't know a word?"

"That's what I said." Wang Hengyue also simply let go at this time: "However, once these things reach the ears of people with ulterior motives, I am afraid that they will say that adults kill innocents indiscriminately for their own selfishness, especially when it reaches the imperial court, those old men in the capital do not know the hardships below, and then the adults will have a thousand or ten thousand mouths and they will not be able to say clearly." ”

Liu Hongkui stopped his movements, his brows furrowed tightly.

Wang Hengyue's words are not unreasonable, such things have happened before. It's fine for the court to use you, but if you commit something, it will become evidence of your own crimes.

"So, what do you say?"

Seeing that Liu Hongkui's thoughts were gradually brought over, Wang Hengyue hurriedly said: "In fact, those rebels don't have much combat effectiveness, so it's not difficult to calm down. Early tomorrow morning, it is only necessary to concentrate all the forces and attack from all sides. We have people in the city again, can the rebel party still succeed? ”

Liu Hongkui thought carefully for a long time, and nodded slowly: "Wang Bangdao, they all said that you can fight, and I didn't see it with my own eyes, but what you said today, I have all the thoughts of this standard system in my heart." ”

"Thank you, Lord Biaotong!"

"Someone, give the order to go down, and the artillery team will slow down!"

As soon as he heard this, Wang Hengyue's heart finally let go, no matter what, this level finally passed. Although the rebels will still have a large number of casualties in the siege of the city, compared to using artillery, he has minimized the casualties that Leshan will suffer within his ability.

The rest can only let the people in Leshan City ask for more blessings.

Liu Hongkui suddenly said: "Wang Bangdai, you are very good at using your brains, there is a lack of someone like you around this standard, are you interested in coming over to help me?" ”

Wang Hengyue was taken aback, he had easily had some scale in Rong County, and now he wanted to transfer himself away, all his hard work was in vain, and he hurriedly said:

"Thank you for the kindness of Lord Biaotong, my subordinates can also serve my lord in Rong County, if I promote my subordinates now, I am afraid that it will cause gossip from others. After a while, if Biao Tong is still thinking about his subordinates, Hengyue will definitely come over to reimburse the adult! ”

Liu Hongkui nodded, not reluctantly:

"I see, you go down first!"
