The next day, Xiong Wencan and Gao Qiqian led the troops to Ruzhou, this time Wu Fu also sent 10,000 troops to follow, a total of 30,000 troops quickly rushed towards Ruzhou, Kaifeng Mansion is not too far from Ruzhou, Xiong Wencan and Gao Qiqian carefully asked Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance, and made up their minds to give Liukou a heavy blow, especially Xiong Wencan, since he became the governor of the five provinces, he has not had a frontal battle with Liukou, it can be said that the mood of desire for victory has reached the point where it is about to explode. ◇↓ Top ◇ ↓ Point ◇ ↓ Small ◇ ↓ Said,.

It is normal for Xiong Wencan to have such thoughts, he was appointed as the governor of the five provinces at a critical moment, and for a variety of reasons, the environment he was in was also very embarrassing, although Zheng Jiajun defeated Li Zicheng and recaptured most of Luoyang Mansion and most of Henan Mansion, Xiong Wencan also received credit, but as a governor of the five provinces who wanted to make contributions, such an honor made people feel uncomfortable, so it became Xiong Wencan's most desired thing to really achieve a victory.

The opportunity came in front of him, and Xiong Wencan didn't want to miss it.

Needless to say, Gao Qiqian may be able to return to the capital as soon as possible with this big victory.

Zhang Pu has always paid attention to all this, as a patrol of the imperial history, he came to Henan, in fact, he was a little aggrieved, and wanted to do an investigation, Xiong Wencan Gao Qiqian and Wu Fu were not very supportive, which made him unable to do things well, and moved out of the emperor's holy decree, which did not have much effect, people did not violate the holy decree, and they could not carry out the investigation very smoothly, even if they went to the court to reason, people would think that he Zhang Pu was useless and lacked ability.

Zhang Pu also paid attention to this expedition, if this expedition was won, then his embarrassing situation in Henan would soon change, and some things could be done freely.

Five days later, the good news came. The army led by Xiong Wencan Gao Qiqian won a major victory in the area of Ruzhou Prefecture, capturing Tuoyangkun and Liu Guoneng alive, but Zhang Yichuan escaped, and the army exterminated and captured more than 8,000 Liukou, only Zhang Yichuan escaped with more than 1,000 people. The entire state of Ruzhou was taken back by the imperial army.

The news quickly spread in Kaifeng Prefecture.

When the news of the victory reached Kaifeng, Zhang Pu's situation quickly improved.

Zhang Pu is of course happy about the improvement of his situation, but he is even happier that Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance are telling the truth, and he can find Zheng Xunrui's weakness from the two Li Yan and the Red Lady that they talked about, so as to launch a large-scale attack, so that Zheng Xunrui will suffer a heavy blow. Unable to continue to compete with the Donglin Party.

Xiong Wencan and Gao Qiqian and others are very faithful, after the victory of the battle, immediately sent a special person to send Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance back to Kaifeng Fucheng, directly handed over to Zhang Pu, and in the report to the imperial court, the two also specifically talked about the reasons for the major victory, etc., Zhang Pu Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance and others credit. Naturally, it was written into the fold.

After Zhang Pu met Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance, he first gave the two of them a reassurance. Tell the two that the imperial army has won a major victory this time, captured the leaders of the Liukou Tuoyangkun and Liu Guoneng, and after the song is folded to the court, the two will definitely be able to get a reward, but how to reward, then he Zhang Pu needs to write the fold again.

Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance naturally understood. said that they must obey Zhang Pu's arrangement and do what they need to do, and the two will definitely do it according to Zhang Pu's requirements and will never hesitate.

The first thing Zhang Pu asked Niu Jinxing and Zhang Pu to do was to clearly write out what Li Yan and the Red Lady had done in the middle of the rogues. What kind of status are they in, the two quickly understood what Zhang Pu meant, racked their brains to write down Li Yan's important role in the Liukou team, and even put almost all the blame for the Liukou's killing of the former governors of the five provinces on Li Yan and the Red Lady.

Next, Zhang Pu found Song Feng, the county magistrate of Qixian County, inquired about Li Yan's situation in detail, and made detailed records, including the folds written by Song Feng asking for Li Yan's fame to be removed, why Li Yan's fame was cut, the Red Lady's rebellion and attack on Qi County was because of Li Yan, and what kind of losses the Red Lady caused in Qi County, etc., when these folds were sent away, where they were sent, etc., Zhang Pu also had a detailed understanding of the situation.

However, in a few days, Zhang Pu found out that the twists and turns about cutting off Li Yan's fame were first sent to the Yamen of the Political Envoy Division, and Li Yan was also stripped of his fame, and there are relevant documents to prove it, but in the end, all these things were gone, and the officials of the Political Envoy Department said that it was the governor Wu Fu who took all the documents and folds, because the situation in Henan was more urgent, all he thought about was how to deal with the attack of the Liukou and protect the city of Kaifeng, so he cut off Li Yan's fame. It was not sent directly to the Ministry of Rites, according to reason, to really cut off Li Yan's fame, you need an edict from the Ministry of Rites, after this thing came out, Li Yan was really cut off to raise people's fame, of course, many times, after the governor Yamen or the political envoy made a decision, the Ministry of Rites would not have other opinions, and after the local government played to the Ministry of Rites, the relevant officials would not even look at it carefully, and soon issued an edict.

Judging from the information found, Li Yan did have major negligence, even if it was due to the imperial court, like Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance and others, it should be reported to the imperial court before making a decision, but the sudden disappearance of the folding and archiving reflects the problems inside, which is likely to be a decision made directly by Zheng Xunrui and Wu Fu.

After collecting these information, Zhang Pu was like a treasure.

He has found a number of problems from the middle, and then as long as he finds out the last thing, he can go back to the capital, and after discussing with everyone, he can put forward the impeachment of the twists and turns, and this impeachment, I am afraid that it is different from the previous ones, will form a major blow to Zheng Xunrui.

This is where the folds and documents went, and where they went.

If you want to find out this problem, it is not so simple, Zhang Pu knows Zheng Xunrui's strength, once the matter of his secret investigation is leaked out, Zheng Xunrui will do it immediately, the fourth prince wanted to secretly calculate Zheng Xunrui, but the planning was not rigorous, and he was hit by Zheng Xunrui and settled easily.

Zhang Pu didn't want to suffer such a bad pool.

The folds and documents were taken by Wu Fu, Zhang Pu could not directly find Wu Fu for questioning, he did not have that qualification, after all, the gap in the rank exists, don't think that you can do anything according to the imperial history, once you are not careful in this matter, all the efforts made in front are in vain.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Pu decided not to investigate any further, he couldn't lose a big deal because of a small one, as for where the folds and documents went, they could always be revealed, and after returning to the capital, they could report to the cabinet.

Zhang Pu's investigation came to an end, and Xiong Wencan and Gao Qiqian also led the army back to Kaifeng Fucheng.

Seeing Zhang Pu, Xiong Wencan and Gao Qiqian's attitudes have changed, after all, this big victory is directly related to Zhang Pu, at least Zhang Pu did not hide his secrets.

The edict of the imperial court commendation has also arrived, Xiong Wencan and Gao Qiqian have sent sergeants to escort Tuoyangkun and Liu Guoneng and others to the capital, this matter has also caused a sensation in the capital, you must know that since Xiong Wencan took office as the governor of the five provinces, he defeated Li Zicheng and captured the leaders of Tuoyangkun and Liu Guoneng and other rogue leaders, such an achievement is not simple.

Of course, there is another thing that has prompted a fundamental change in Xiong Wencan's and Gao Qiqian's attitude, that is, Zhang Pu has clearly stated that he defeated Li Zicheng's battle of Luoyang, and the tone is that Xiong Wencan's overall command of the Zheng family army is hindered because Caoyun's luck is hindered, so he participates in the battle, such a characterization makes it clear that Xiong Wencan and Gao Qiqian and others have made it clear that Xiong Wencan and Gao Qiqian have come to investigate, and Zhang Pu came to investigate on behalf of the imperial court and the emperor, and after going back to report it, it can dispel everyone's suspicions.

It can be said that Zhang Pu came to investigate, Xiong Wencan, Gao Qiqian and others got benefits, Zhang Pu himself also got benefits, and Zhang Pu also got a share of the credit for the battle of Ruzhou, so everyone is willing to see it.

Knowing that Zhang Pu was going back to the capital, Xiong Wencan and Gao Qiqian were very surprised, and kept him in Kaifeng Mansion for a few days, but Zhang Pu had already made up his mind to go, and politely declined the kindness of Xiong Wencan and others.

The only one who aroused vigilance was Wu Fu.

Zhang Pu's investigation can't be concealed from Wu Fu, all the circumstances before and after, Wu Fu has a very clear grasp of the situation, he has found the problem from it, because Li Yan's matter really involves him personally, Wu Fu has always thought that Zhang Pu will eventually find him directly, at least need to ask what the situation is, but only until Zhang Pu is ready to leave Henan, he did not mention this matter, and the relationship between Zhang Pu and Xiong Wencan and others has been handled very well.

Wu Fu has nowhere to start, so it is not good to find Zhang Pu directly to ask, so that he will have the taste of being a thief.

Just the day before Zhang Pu left Henan, Wu Fu quickly wrote a letter, this letter was written to Zheng Xunrui, he told Zheng Xunrui all the matters investigated by Zhang Pu, and at this time, the interests of Wu Fu and Zheng Xunrui have been linked, Wu Fu privately gave Zheng Xunrui all the documents and archives of Li Yan, the participation of Li Yan in Qixian County, which was originally against the rules, if no one takes this seriously, then there is nothing, but if someone wants to make a big show, the consequences are also very serious.

When Zhang Pu left Henan, Xiong Wencan Gao Qiqian and Wu Fu and others all went to see him off, which was completely different from the situation when Zhang Pu came to Henan. (To be continued......) >
