Chapter 393: Go to Xiangyang

Regarding the meaning of Zhang Kejian and Wang Chengzeng and others, Wang Dou actually knows it very well. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the battle of Xiangyang, although the giant thief Zhang Xianzhong was killed, this was all the credit of Wang Doubu, what does it have to do with Zhang Kejian and others?

It matters, it's just their dereliction of duty and trapping the city!

How did a thief get into the city? Even if there were thousands of officers and soldiers in the city after entering the city, how could they have no power to fight back, let the thieves run wild, and almost trap the vassal king to death? After the court has finished its work, I'm afraid the next step is to investigate and punish these derelict officials!

Now the imperial court does not dare to move the generals, but it is not polite to the civil officials, that is, Zhang Kejian is respectful, and the future prospects are also very bad, so he can only find a way from Wang Dou.

Zhang Kejian and Wang Cheng once explained warmly, and said that they had put up a few strokes on the good news.

After the thieves entered the city, the second officials, as well as some officials close to them, fought bloodily, and finally beheaded dozens of thieves. With the timely assistance of the general of Dingguo, the thieves fled out of the city, and together with the general, they led the army to chase and kill out of the city.

The credit for the good news is mainly Wang Dou, supplemented by them, Zhang Kejian and others' thoughts, it is good to be able to keep the official position, of course, it is better to get a little credit.

In fact, Zhang Kejian and others really wanted to find someone to carry the black pot for the dead ghost, but after looking for it, in addition to their own crimes, they also found that the crimes of the night were mostly on the heads of the officials and generals who guarded the city. However, these generals are all unruly people, and there are many rebels in the original army, so deal with them, what to do if they mutiny one day, Wang Dou will always leave, and it is impossible to stay in Xiangyang for a long time.

Therefore, Zhang Kejian and Wang Chengzeng can only take the sins of that night on their heads, anyway, they have the credit of killing the sacrifice thief, and the merits and demerits are offset, and the court will not deal with them too harshly. After a few activities, the top will reprimand at most a few words, and he will have a reputation of "protecting benevolence".

After finishing speaking, both of them looked at Wang Dou with blank eyes, and Zhang Kejian patted his chest and promised that he was willing to take out 100,000 taels of silver to thank the Shunxiang army for his kindness.

Wang Dou groaned, in today's battle, Zhang Xianzhong was almost wiped out, and more than 1,700 were cut at the head alone, and it was no problem to divide dozens to Zhang Kejian and others, anyway, Zhang Xianzhong was killed by his own department.

Facing the expectant eyes of the two, Wang Dou stretched out two fingers: "Two hundred thousand more silver, not one or two less!" ”

"Two hundred thousand taels?"

The prefect Wang Chengzeng almost screamed out, but under Zhang Kejian's stern gaze, the two still stepped aside and muttered softly to discuss.

Zhang Kejian thinks it is feasible, but it can be said that part of this silver is the silver of the labor army, and part of it is the food and salary of the Shunxiang army, and the two already know that there are thousands of soldiers in the Shunxiang army coming to Xiangyang, including those in Xiangyang, there are 7,000 people. Under the great victory, each soldier was rewarded with thirty taels of silver, which was not much.

The victorious guest soldiers, or the undefeated guest soldiers, asked the local people for a reward of silver, which was common everywhere at this time, and it was not strange to Su.

In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen in history, in order to persuade Zuo Liangyu's troops to fight against King Chuang, Hou Sui, the governor of the time, sent 500,000 troops to work again. Later, Li Zicheng attacked Xiangyang, Zuo Liangyu withdrew his troops to Wuchang, and asked the king of Chu for 500,000 taels of grain.

In the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, Zuo Liangyu's army made a rebellion, broke Jiande, robbed Chiyang, and Li Banghua, the imperial history of the imperial capital, told Zuo Liangyu grass, and used Jiujiang Treasury silver 150,000 taels to pay him, and he joined his army to comfort him, and Zuo Liangyu's army was a little peaceful.

Anyway, there is a lot of silver in Xiangyang, as long as the local government can solve it by itself, it will not cause chaos, and the explanation is reasonable, and the imperial court will not ask too much.

After the discussion, Zhang Kejian came over with a smile and said: "The silver is easy to say, twenty sons and two is 200,000 taels, but that first ......."

Wang Dou said, "I'll give you fifty." ”

With their combat ability, it is very good to be able to cut fifty heads, but too many are suspicious. On the contrary, Wang Dou's subordinates cut off thousands of heads, and everyone didn't think it was strange. …,

Zhang and Wang, who got the desired result, summoned Li Tianjue, the director of Xiangyang, Jiang Yueguang and others, unified their voices, and finally went to visit Xiangwang.

Looking at their backs, Zhu Changfa, the king of Guiyang, said angrily: "Isn't this talking nonsense with your eyes open? When the thieves entered the city, the officers and soldiers were defeated, if there was no general Dingguo, Xiangyang would probably fall into the hands of thieves, and we were afraid...... How can they have any credit? ”

King Xiang sighed: "Wang Dou also agreed to this matter, after all, Wang Dou is a guest army, it is impossible to live in Xiangyang for a long time, and the matter of Xiangyang depends on the local officials, so it should be a good fate." ”

On the same day, Zhang Kejian wrote a Tang newspaper, he was just a sub-patrol of Xiangyang, and he needed to first inspect Song Yihe, the governor of Wenhuguang, and then Song Yihe Jiewen Fei reported to Beijing.

After careful scrutiny, Wang Dou saw that there was no problem, so he and King Xiang stamped their seals on it, and then flew to Song Yihe, the governor of Huguang.

It is said that Song Yihe was originally stationed in Xinyang, and when Xiong Wencan premiered the military affairs of Nangi, Henan, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Huguang, and Sichuan.

Wen Canzhu, Yang Huchang with a crane can, recommended, promoted to the right of the imperial history, on behalf of Fang Kong Zhao governor Huguang. When offering and messing up, Song Yihe sent deputy generals Wang Yuncheng and Ju Yingyuan to break Luo Rucai in Fengyiping, beheading more than 3,000 people, and Yang Yichang was the first to make a crane and Jingchu.

At this time, Song Yihe was in Jiangling, and when he received Zhang Kejian's Tang report a few days later, Song Junmen, known as calm, was so shocked that he even fell to the ground with a teaglass.

He heard about the thief's attack on Xiangyang, and he was worried, but there was a Tangwen from the Xiangyang sub-patrol road, the officers and soldiers won a great victory, the thief died, and his subordinates all died!

To be honest, Song Yihe couldn't believe it, but the facts were in front of him, such a big event, did Zhang Kejian, the Xiangyang Branch Inspector, dare to fake? Zhang Kejian and Song Yihe know it, they are known as sophisticated, and it is clearly written in the Tang newspaper that the body of the thief is in Xiangyang, and you will know it after reading it.

Moreover, there is also a letter from Wang Dou and King Xiang, the generals of Xuanfu Zhendong Road, and the name of Wang Dou, of course Song Yihe knows. If it is his main battle, killing the thief, it is possible.

Looking at Tang Wen carefully, Song Yihe understood that it was still Wang Dou's credit, Zhang Kejian and others, but they took advantage. Strictly speaking, Zhang Kejian's officials made a lot of mistakes, but under the credit of the death of the thief, this fault was overshadowed.

Since then, news has been coming, all of which are about the victory of Xiangyang. This matter has been widely reported, and various versions have noses and eyes, but any version of the death of the thief is certain.

At this time, the supervisor Yang Juanchang arrived in Jiangling and entered Shatou City, and Song Yihe hurriedly went to Xujia Garden to visit.

At first sight, Song Junmen was startled, and Yang Gebu looked haggard, as if he had a serious illness.

Song Yihe hurriedly greeted, Yang Juchang waved his hand, and said with interest: "I already know about the matter of Xiangyang, although the prefect of Wang is a little frivolous, but Zhang Bingbei is old, and there is a letter from Wang Dou and King Xiang, this matter will not be fake." Win as soon as possible, let the saint be relieved, how to write on the Tang text, how to send it! ”

Song Yihe couldn't figure out Yang Sichang's intentions, and when he saw that the old man was depressed, he said goodbye with interest, thinking about how to release Jiewen.

Waiting for Song Yihe to leave, looking at the Tang Wen in his hand, Yang Juanchang sneered repeatedly: "It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous!" ”

He didn't know what it was like in his heart, he thought about it at the beginning, he was full of spirit, but he was painstaking and lonely, but he lost one after another militarily, and the fiasco was as fierce as a tiger, which gave Yang Tongchang a great blow. In the end, he also let the thief run out of Sichuan, and even attacked Xiangyang, if Wang Dou didn't happen to meet, waiting for him would be a nightmare in the domain.

Although Xiangyang is a great achievement, it can also be placed on his head, but Yang Sichang knows that he has failed, this is self-deception!

Yang Huchang is already stubborn and self-serving, with strong self-esteem, he himself is dismal, everything is empty, and others have no intention of inserting willows and willows. Xiangyang's victory is like a mockery of his own efforts, how can this not make Yang Juanchang, who thinks highly of himself, feel bitter? …,

He suddenly coughed violently, and his cronies and Jian Jun Wan Ji saw that something was wrong, and they all said, "Is Elder Ge okay?" ”

The staff next to him was a little puzzled, why was Xiangyang victorious, but the cabinet was unhappy? Only a few people with a smart mind think about it.

Yang Sichang knew that he had lost his temper, he gasped, and suddenly his heart flashed with enlightenment, he was exhausted, I was afraid that he would not live long, and before he died, he must see the corpse of the thief.

He said: "I'm fine, Xiangyang is a big victory, I should go and have a look, call Governor Shangsong, let's go together!" ”

Soon, the governor of Huguang, Song Yihe's Jiewen flew to the Beijing Division, and when the good news reached the Beijing Division, the thief died, and the victory in Xiangyang really shook the Beijing Division and the northern country. The discussion was boiling, and the whole country was in an uproar.

At this time, the supervisor Yang Sichang and the supervisor Wan Yuanji, as well as the governor of Huguang Song Yihe and others, led the superintendent battalion, staff, and generals of Luping, etc., and the group left Jiangling in a hurry and went to Xiangyang.

Not only that, Liu and Lu Jiude, who were guarding the Xianling Tomb in Chengtian Mansion and guarding against thieves in the Jingshan and Qianjiang areas, also hurriedly led several generals under their command, Zhou Yuji, Huang Degong, Sun Yingyuan and others, to Xiangyang in a hurry.

There are also Zuo Liangyu, the general of the Ping Thief who originally fled to Xing'an, Shaanxi, and He Renlong, the general soldier of Shaanxi, and others, after hearing about the incident in Xiangyang, they were all dumbfounded, and they all led their soldiers and horses down the Han River, and they all came to Xiangyang in a hurry.

In the battle of the day, the camp can be said to be annihilated, two thousand fine horsemen, and more than 1,700 were cut at the head alone, but there were also fish that slipped through the net, that is, Zhang Xianzhong's son Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang (then known as Zhang Dingguo and Zhang Kewang), who fled with more than a dozen horses.

At night, he searched everywhere with Li Guangheng's cavalry, but there was no one to be seen, and they did not know where they went.

On the second day, Wang Dou intended to attack Luo Rucai in Yicheng, but then the news came that Luo Rucai fled overnight yesterday and went to Suizhou and other places, so he had to give up.

This battle is considered to be a rich result, but also captured more than 400 intact horses, in the eyes of the Shunxiang army, there are nearly 500 good horses that can be filled with war horses. There were also many thieves and horses who were killed and wounded, and they happened to be used for meat, and the morale of the whole army was high.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Zhang Kejian, the deputy envoy of the military garrison, and Wang Chengzeng, the prefect of Xiangyang, visited Wang Dou again, but they pleaded for the chaotic troops captured yesterday, especially the general Qian.

It turned out that today, the generals who fled outside the city that day returned one after another, and some officials and generals came to plead, especially Zuo Liangyu's favorite concubine.

At this time, she was living in the city, and when she saw her brother being captured, she was also a little blind, and she didn't dare to go to the barracks where Wang Dou lived to make trouble, so she went to the prefect's yamen and the military constitution to make a big fuss. And when he came back with a threat, Yan Zuozhen would not let them go, which made Zhang and Wang feel a big headache.

However, these people were imprisoned by Wang Dou, so they had to come and beg. )
