Xu Liang was slightly stunned, and glared at Luo Rucai and the others with dissatisfaction: This military merit is too obvious!

Luo Rucai and the others were slightly hot on their faces, and looked at Xu Liang with a sneer.

Xu Liang laughed for a while, and then shouted at Luo Rucai: "General Cao was busy pursuing the people's army, and the entire battlefield was taken care of by Shaanxi officers and soldiers afterwards, and the number obtained by General Cao may not be as accurate as Luo Rucai." This official thinks that the number of heads is still based on what Luo Rucai and others said. ”

Cao Wenzhao sneered again and again when he heard this, looked up at Xu Liang, and said sarcastically: "Then according to the governor's statement, this general led the Liaodong iron cavalry to rush back and forth to kill, and together with the governor's Hong soldiers, he only beheaded less than 2,000 people?" ”

Xu Liang choked and said embarrassedly: "The number of beheadings of 2,000 people is indeed less, maybe the officers and soldiers who take care of the battlefield are not careful enough." But these are innocuous little things, and I think the Governor and General Cao won't mind these, right? ”

At this time, Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides, hurriedly waved his hand and smiled: "Hey, Guozhong, they are all their own people, why bother to distinguish them so clearly." He said to Cao Wenzhao again: "General Cao, those two thousand military merits will be counted on the heads of General Cao and Guanning Iron Cavalry." ”

Cao Wenzhao listened, but waved his hand and dragged it, and said, "Your Excellency the Governor doesn't need to." Two thousand military merits are still better received by the Governor. With only two thousand beheadings, General Ben really can't look at it. Originally, General Ben didn't want to say it in such a hurry, so let's just say it now," Cao Wenzhao shouted outside the court: "Come on, bring people up!" ”

Xu Liang and the others all looked at Cao Wenzhao in surprise, if Cao Wenzhao didn't care about the two thousand heads, it must be false. Could it be that Cao Wenzhao has a greater credit?

Xu Liang and the others stared out of the lobby with wide eyes. I saw four soldiers striding in with two men in short shirts whose hands were tied behind their backs, and the two men looked fierce. Although he was tied, his eyes were still fierce.

"Get on your knees!" The soldier shouted in a deep voice.

The two men were indifferent. One of the men took a sip and shouted: "Lao Tzu kneels to the sky and kneels to his parents, and he is a dog official who does not kneel to the court!" ”

"Yo, it's quite a big breath!" The soldier was so angry that he kicked the man who shouted in the knee, and the man shook for a while, grinning his teeth, but he didn't kneel.

Before the soldiers could kick again, Cao Wenzhao shouted: "Okay! ”

Cao Wen Zhaozhi smiled triumphantly. Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides of the head, arched his hand, glanced at Luo Rucai provocatively, and then said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, please see, these two people were captured by this general with great effort!" One of them is called Du San, and the other is called Yang Laochai! ”

Hiss! Xu Liang and the others couldn't help but take a breath. Du San and Yang Laochai are familiar to everyone! Two of the four chieftains who besieged Pingliang Mansion this time. I didn't expect to be caught by Cao Wenzhao so easily!

"Your Excellency the Governor, the last general would like to ask, who is more important than the credit for capturing the two leaders of the people's army and the credit for killing thousands of ordinary people's troops?"

Yang He, the governor of the three sides, stroked his palms and smiled: "General Cao said that he laughed, there are nearly 100,000 soldiers in the people's army. And there are only four leaders of the people's army, and General Cao captured two leaders of the people's army in one fell swoop this time, which is a great merit! It's really gratifying. ”

Cao Wenzhao looked up to the sky and laughed. Xu Liang and the others' faces were ugly. Cao Wenzhao's actions were tantamount to a big slap in the face of Xu Liang and others!

Don't you want to embezzle my Cao Wenzhao's military exploits? Those small credits. I don't want Cao Wenzhao, just send it out! In terms of merit, it is compared with the merit of capturing the leaders of the two major people's armies. Kill 10,000 ordinary people's troops, that's not a big deal!

Cao Wenzhao was laughing proudly. Suddenly, Du San and Yang Laochai, who were tied up, took a big sip in unison, and glared angrily at Cao Wenzhao. shouted and scolded: "Dog officer, I only know that there is a sneak attack from behind, and it is not disgraceful to arrest me!" If you have the guts, let us go, let's fight with real knives and guns on the battlefield! ”

"Ugh!" Cao Wenzhao's laughter stopped abruptly, glared at Du San and Yang Laochai angrily, shook his hand and said, "Take it down!" ”

Cao Wenzhao sat back in his chair, and the governor of the three sides, Hong Chengchou, glanced at everyone, and said slowly: "Okay, the military exploits of the generals will be recorded by the governor and reported to the court." Now let's make the next step in the clean-up plan! According to the spies' report, the Red Army friends who escaped, Li Dusi and the two of them, with tens of thousands of remnants of the defeated generals, had retreated to the vicinity of Xihao. Xihao Town is surrounded by mountains, easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as the people's army guards the intersections into Xihao everywhere, the officers and soldiers of the court will not be able to deploy it at all......"

Hong Chengchou's tone of speech was sonorous and powerful, and his intention was vigorous. Xu Liang and others lacked interest, and from time to time glanced at the triumphant Liaodong general Cao Wenzhao, and the more they looked at it, the more angry they became.

Xing was stimulated by Cao Wenzhao's capture of the two leaders of the people's army, and when Hong Chengchou deployed his troops, Luo Rucai, He Huchen, and He Renlong all responded immediately.

After the meeting was dismissed, Luo Rucai and the others hurriedly bid farewell to Xu Liang, and hurriedly returned to their military camp, most likely to make preparations.

Xu Liang followed the trilateral governor Hong Chengchou into the inner courtyard, chatted a few words, and saw that Hong Chengchou seriously put ink and began to write a recital to the court and Emperor Chongzhen, presenting good news and reporting military merits by the way.

Xu Liang saw that Hong Chengchou was writing seriously, and it was really inconvenient for him to peek, so he walked out bored.

Slowly wandering around under the corridor of the prefect's yamen, Xu Liang suddenly saw Lu Yi, the prefect of Pingliang, walking out in a hurry, Xu Liang couldn't help beckoning and shouting: "Lord Lu, wait a minute." ”

Lu Yifa stopped when he heard this, turned around, saw Xu Liang, and greeted him.

"The Governor hasn't left yet?"

Xu Liang shook his head lightly, and then asked Lu Yifa: "Lord Lu, where are you going to go in such a hurry?" ”

Lu Yifa stomped his feet and said, "If you return to the governor's words, it's not for the two leaders of the People's Army captured by Cao Wenzhao!" Cao Wenzhao himself was in a hurry to lead the army to the battle, and he wanted to lock people up in the cell of the Yamen of the Pingliang Prefect, and asked to be held alone! Your Excellency, you also know that the cells in Pingliang Mansion were originally small, and if you want to be held alone, you have to make a cubicle! Alas, the head of the cell of the government did not see the approval of the lower officials. He couldn't make up his mind, so he sent someone over to ask the subordinate to preside over the overall situation. ”

Xu Liang snorted. He asked with great interest: "Is it just that Du San and Yang Laochai?" ”

Governor Lu said: "Aren't these two people?" ”

Xu Liang made fun of Governor Lu and said, "Lord Lu, you are the prefect of the fourth grade. How can you let a Liaodong general give an envoy! ”

Governor Lu spread his hands helplessly and said: "Futai, there is no way, the lower officials can't compare with you...... If he Cao Wenzhao personally told the lower officials about this matter, the lower officials would never pay attention to him. It's just that...... Cao Wenzhao actually told the governor about this, and the governor handed it over to the lower officials...... This...... The lower officials can't help it! ”

Xu Liang's eyes rolled, and he said secretly: Luo Rucai, He Huchen, He Renlong. Cao Wenzhao led the army to the expedition, and after a while, the governor of the three sides, Hong Chengchou, also led the Hong soldiers to chase him out, and he and a group of civil officials were left in the entire Pingliang City, and he was worried that there was nothing to do! Cao Wenzhao actually handed Du San and Yang Laochai over to the Yamen of the Pingliang Prefect, which was easy to do.

So Xu Liang hurriedly dragged the prefect Lu: "Let's go, take the official to have a look." ”

Governor Lu blinked his eyes, and took Xu Liang to the prison of the Pingliang Prefect's Yamen in confusion.

Before entering the prison door, Lu Zhifu's face was entangled, and he finally asked what he wanted to ask all the way: "Futai." You're not trying to take credit for capturing these two, are you? The excerpts of the Governor's contribution to Cao Wenzhao have already been handed over, and it is difficult to start! ”

Xu Liang couldn't cry or laugh, and scolded with a smile: "What nonsense! This official just wants to meet these two leaders of the People's Army in person! This kind of thing of stealing people's military merits is too low. The official is disdainful to do it. ”

When Governor Lu heard this, he was immediately relieved.

When I entered the prison door, the cell boss inside was already waiting there. Seeing Governor Lu was like seeing a savior, leading Governor Lu and Xu Liang to go straight to the innermost part of the cell. At the head of the town, I saw a colonel and four soldiers of the Liaodong Army escorting Du San and Yang Laochai waiting there.

"Cell boss, let you prepare two private rooms. Why haven't you got it done yet? Liaodong Elementary School asked.

When Governor Lu heard this, he immediately became angry, and said secretly, the governor of the three sides, Hong Chengchou, summoned the official and forget it, you are a small captain of the Liaodong Army, and you dare to be so arrogant if you are not a fart?!

Lu Zhifu was angry, and he was about to step forward angrily, but he held down Lu Yifa with one hand.

Lu Zhifu turned around in surprise, and saw Xu Liang smiling faintly, passing over Lu Zhifu and the cell head, and went straight to meet him.

Liaodong Junior Colonel saw clearly who the person who came forward, and immediately jumped up in shock, looked at Xu Liang nervously, and stammered and asked, "Xu, Lord Xu, you, what do you command?" ”

As for the four soldiers beside the colonel, they were even more frightened, and they grabbed Du San and Yang Laochai's arms fiercely, staring at Xu Liang tightly.

Xu Liang looked at Liaodong Junior High School with a smile, waved his hand very kindly, and said, "These two people, this official has taken over." You guys can go back. ”

The Liaodong Colonel and the soldiers were stunned, and the Colonel arched his hand in embarrassment: "Forgive me, Lord Governor, the little one is on the orders of General Cao......"

Before he finished speaking, Xu Liang glared at Liaodong Junior High School angrily as if he was enraged, and scolded: "Gave you face, didn't you?!" The official's words are not used, are they?! Throw people down, dare to get out of the way to this official! ”

"Lord Governor......" Liaodong Junior Colonel almost cried, looking at Xu Liang with a bitter face.

Xu Liang was impatient, waved his hand behind him, and rushed forward from behind, and the six accompanying Tsing Yi guards rushed forward, and directly took down the Liaodong Colonel and the four soldiers.

Liaodong Colonel's face was pale with fright, and in the face of the Tsing Yi guards who were eyeing him, he didn't dare to make the slightest mess, and obediently let the Tsing Yi guards escort him.

Xu Liang glared at the junior colonel, pouted, and said, "Take it away." ”

When the Tsing Yi guards heard this, they escorted the captain of Liaodong and four soldiers out of the prefect's yamen prison.

Governor Lu and the cell boss looked at Xu Liang in a daze, unable to understand what Xu Liang was going to do.

Du San and Yang Laochai, who were tied up behind the back, were also a little confused, and looked at Xu Liang for some reason.

Xu Liang walked up to Du San and Yang Laochai, looked the two up and down, nodded, and said, "Yes, it's a bit like the leader of the people's army." ”

Du San raised his head and asked, "You are Xu Liang, the governor of Shaanxi?" ”

Xu Liang arched his hand towards Du San and Yang Laochai, and said very kindly: "It is this official." Du San, Yang Laochai, and the official also have a long history of the two of them! It's not the right time to see each other today. ”

Du San and Yang Laochai glanced at each other, and Du San asked vigilantly: "Now people are swordsmen, and I am fish and meat, if you want to kill or chop, listen to it!" What Lord Xu wants to do, even though he says it. With such a coy attitude, aren't you tired and panicked? ”

Xu Liang's eyebrows trembled, and he stared at Du San for a long time before he smiled and said, "Leader Du is right!" Since this official drove away the Liaodong soldiers who were guarding you, he definitely won't kill you! ”

"And what do you want to do?"

Xu Liang smiled slightly and said, "This official values heroes the most!" The official drove away the Liaodong soldiers who were in custody, in fact, he wanted to find a place with few people, sit down with the two famous leaders of the people's army, and drink and talk together to deepen their understanding! ”

Du San snorted lightly, expressing disbelief.

Seeing this, Xu Liang immediately turned his head to Lu Yifa and said, "Lord Lu, you quickly order someone to prepare a good banquet on the table, and this official wants to feast on Chief Du and Chief Yang!" Then he looked at Du San and Yang Laochai, frowned, and said, "The two of you are too dirty, Lord Lu, arrange a set of suitable clean clothes for these two people!" ”

Governor Lu responded one by one, and after seeing Xu Liang finish speaking, he paced leisurely and walked out of the dungeon. According to Xu Liang's request, Governor Lu set up a table of good wine and food in the courtyard outside the prison gate, with fish and meat, meat and vegetables. He also ordered someone to take clean clothes for Du San and Yang Laochai to change into.

Du San and Yang Laochai thought they were dreaming, and when they changed into clean clothes, they were pressed by Tsing Yi Wei to sit next to Xu Liang, and sat at the same table with Xu Liang, with exquisite dishes on the table, and two pots of fine wine exuding the fragrance of wine.

Xu Liang, the governor of Shaanxi, looked at the two with a smile on his face, and beckoned: "Are you two hungry?" Come on, please fill your stomach with something. ”

That tone, that demeanor, is simply a very hospitable host's house.

Du San and Yang Laochai glanced at each other, and they both saw doubt and shock in their eyes. After hesitating for a while, he was betrayed by the rumbling sound in his stomach, and he simply made up his mind, even if he was beheaded on the spot, he had to be a full ghost first.

So under the encouragement of Xu Liang's eyes, the two reached out to grab the chicken nuggets without any image, and stuffed the ribs into their mouths!

Xu Liang looked at the two of them with a smile, even if Du San and Yang Laochai made a mess of a good table of wine and food, he didn't mind at all. He greeted warmly: "Come, the two leaders don't patronize and eat, drink a glass of wine to moisten their throats first." ”

The dignified governor of Shaanxi was so polite, Du San and Yang Laochai were a little embarrassed even if they were thick-skinned, and after each drank the full glass of wine in front of them in one gulp, Du San grinned at Xu Liang and said: "Lord Xu, you are the most practical and interesting person among the court officials that Du San has met." ”

Xu Liang smiled and said, "This official is interesting enough for the two leaders, right?" ”

Du San gave a thumbs up and praised: "Very interesting." ”

When Xu Liang heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and he said solemnly: "Okay, this official asks about something, and I hope the two of you will answer me truthfully." (To be continued.) )
