Chapter 245: Spoils of War
Xing Zhongshan nodded affirmatively and said: "It's not wrong, although these two people have been beaten beyond recognition now, and there is only one breath left, but looking at the figure and the identification of the people next to them, there is no doubt that these two people are indeed Long Qianhu and Lu Tongzhi." ”
When Xu Liang heard this, as if he had suddenly been drained of all the strength in his body, he sat back in his chair, stroked his forehead and frowned and scolded: "What is this called!" Then why hasn't Lu Yifa died yet? ”
Xing Zhongshan was stunned when he heard this, and then understood Xu Liang's difficulties.
If you think about it carefully, you can understand why Xu Liang is embarrassed, because although his Xu Liang is now from the fourth grade, his official position is still the same knowledge of Pingliang Mansion, when Emperor Chongzhen appointed Xu Liang, only the officials of Pingliang Mansion died, who thought that after Xu Liang finally recovered Pingliang, he found that the original Pingliang Tongzhi Lu Yifa was not dead.
Xu Liang is the same knowledge, Lu Yifa is also the same knowledge, and he is the original old acquaintance. If this master is brought out again, the position of the prefect in Pingliang Mansion will be vacant, and the two governors will sit in the prefect's yamen, who will the states and counties below listen to? Although this Pingliang Tongzhi Lu Yifa once sent a message to Xu Liang, and there is still a little friendship when it comes to it, but his peers are enemies, and when it comes to major issues such as the command of Pingliang Mansion, Xu Liang naturally takes it seriously.
What a headache! How good would it be if Lu Yifa died? Xu Liang rubbed his temples with his left hand and muttered silently. Xing Zhongshan seemed to be able to understand Xu Liang's thoughts, stepped forward and made a gesture to wipe his neck, and asked quietly, "My lord, why don't we try to give him a ride?" ”
Xu Liang was shocked, looked at Xing Zhongshan's fierce eyes, and couldn't help shaking his hand and said, "No!" This Lu Yifa is not bad, and he is somewhat kind to me, we can't do what that grace will take revenge. ”
Xing Zhongshan listened. Slightly disappointed, but also a little relieved.
Xu Liang thought for a while, waved his hand and said, "That's it, let's find a place to get the two out first, and the doctor will treat the two of them." The rest, more on that later. ”
"Yes." Xing Zhongshan responded and went out to make arrangements.
At this time, Tietou and Luo Baiguan walked in, Xu Liang raised his eyes to look at Tietou and asked, "Lord Hong, are they still outside the city?" ”
Tietou chuckled and said, "Lord Hong has been entangled at the four city gates for a while, and he has already left. ”
Xu Liang nodded. sighed: "This time it can be regarded as offending Lord Hong miserably." ”
Tietou said: "Young master, this is also something that cannot be helped. The lesser of two evils, for the sake of the big plan, if you offend, you will be offended, and the young master will come to apologize in the future. ”
Xu Liang snorted. Annoyed, he said, "That's the only way." He asked Luo Baiguan again: "How did I arrange your affairs?" ”
Luo Baiguan's originally calm face suddenly became lively, took out the account book from his waist and opened it, presented it to Xu Liang, and said with a grin: "My lord, there is material!" His grandmother's, don't look at these thieves, most of them turned out to be mud legs. But look at other people's property, it is so rich. Look at the gold and silver seized by the thieves who surrendered by the light. Converted into silver taels, there are more than 38,000 taels, not including those weapons, armor, siege equipment, and storehouses...... At present, General Dai Feng is leading the Liang army to conduct a door-to-door inventory, and as soon as he finds the hidden thief, he will immediately arrest all the belongings and property on his body. All will be confiscated. Well, at this pace. It is estimated that the subordinates will be able to complete the search in two days. ”
Xu Liang nodded with satisfaction, took the account book and flipped through it. He put it in his hand and patted it lightly, and said to Luo Baiguan and Tietou: "In this battle, our Liang army has suffered too many casualties, and the pension alone is a large amount, and in the future, we will have to replenish the food and grass of the soldiers, and there are still more places to spend money." Our eyes can't just fall on the thieves, those houses occupied by the thieves, broken homes and other ownerless objects can be counted as the spoils of this war, you two hurry up, put these things away, register them, and find another place to store them. ”
"My lord, wouldn't this be too much of a movement?" Luo Baiguan asked hesitantly.
Xu Liang stared at him and scolded: "Fart movement! The east, west, north and south city gates are sealed, where is the power of movement? You do it boldly, if there is any trouble, if you are not satisfied, ask Tsing Yiwei to come forward and take care of it secretly! ”
When Tietou and Luo Baiguan heard this, they were both stunned and looked at Xu Liang in surprise.
Seeing this, Xu Liang said bitterly: "What are you doing with this kind of look?!" Comrade A Tie, and Comrade Xiao Luo! Revolutionary work is not a dinner party, it must be ruthless! There is a way that horses have no night grass and no fat, and people have no windfall and no wealth! If we don't have a lot of money and food to replenish, when will we be able to recover our vitality? ”
Tietou and Luo Baiguan listened, straightened their expressions, and arched their hands: "Yes, my subordinates understand!" ”
The two of them strode out with their heads held high to carry out the loot, and this time, the mansions in Pingliang City that had been raided by thieves suffered a disaster.
Naturally, all the houses that no one can move and take are taken away, but there are still people there? Luo Baiguan also has a way, he pointed at those vase wardrobes in the courtyard, this, this, and this, these are all property left by thieves, move away! What the? You say it's yours? Produce evidence? What are you quibbling with no evidence! You are a bad man!
The people who were searched had to think that they were unlucky, and occasionally a few had a tough attitude, Luo Baiguan didn't make a fuss in person, and politely turned around and withdrew. It's just that every other night, the neighbors will be surprised to find that the family doesn't know where to go, and the things in the house have naturally been moved.
Xu Liang occasionally heard about Luo Baiguan's approach, sneered, and did not control it, let him come nonsense, just search out the object account book every day, Xu Liang wanted to live the purpose in person.
Anton Zhongwei Qianhu official Long Feng and Ping Liang Tongzhi Lu Yifa were placed in the side wing of the government to recuperate from their injuries, and there were soldiers bravely guarding them day and night, which is called protection, in fact, it is to monitor and prevent the two from being injured so that they can go to the ground and look around and find something that should not be found.
After eight days of closed gates, the gates of Pingliang City were finally opened again. From Jitou Mountain and Guyuan, the 6,000 newly recruited recruits of the Liang army in the three Liang armies in Jingzhou also entered Pingliang City on the day the city gate was opened. Dai Jian chose an open plot on the north side of the city as the Pingliang guerrilla general's mansion and military camp station. The 6,000 Liang army was placed under the jurisdiction of the guerrilla general's office, and the middle and lower-ranking generals of the Liang army who had made meritorious contributions in the First World War were promoted according to their merits and served in the guerrilla army.
The notice of the Liang army's large-scale withdrawal of troops has been plastered all over the streets and alleys of Pingliang, Chongxin, Jingzhou, Zhenyuan and Guyuan, and there is an endless stream of young and middle-aged people who have come to join the army.
Shaanxi participated in the politics of Hong Chengchou and finally entered Pingliang City and settled in the Yamen of Pingliang Prefect. After Xu Liang personally explained to Lord Hong the reason why the four doors of Pingliang were closed a few days ago, he paced to the room where Andong Zhongwei Qianhu Jun Longfeng was recuperating from his injuries, and after retiring the guards, Xu Liang opened the door and entered the house with a smile.
As soon as he entered, Xu Liang clenched his fists and said, "Oh, Long Qianhu, this official is riddled with miscellaneous matters, I'm really sorry to come to see you so late." ”
After seven or eight days of maintenance, the injuries on Long Qianhu's body have been healed, but there are some scars on his face that look like they are all healed. However, Long Feng is already big, and a few small scars do not affect the overall image.
Long Feng saw that it was Pingliang and Tongzhi Xu Liang arrived, so he hurriedly turned over and got out of bed, saluted Xu Liang solemnly, and said gratefully: "Xiaguan Andong Zhongwei Qianhu Longfeng has seen Lord Tongzhi. The adult saved the subordinate from fire and water, and the subordinate was grateful, how could he still apologize. ”
Xu Liang hurriedly supported Long Qianhu up, and after the two sides sat around the small round table in the wing, Xu Liang said with a smile: "When Pingliang fell, the official was far away in the capital, I don't know the details, and when I returned to Zhenyuan, I learned that Long Qianhu led less than 1,000 people to defend Pingliang, although he was defeated and captured, he was brave and commendable. ”
Long Qianhu's face turned red, and he said ashamedly: "My lord is really ashamed of being an official. The lower officials were not effective in defending the city, and they had to die in battle to repay the emperor's kindness, but Pingliang City still fell. ”
Xu Liang said: "Eh, the fall of Pingliang is really a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, and it is not Long Qianhu's personal fault. ”
The two talked for a while, and Xu Liang turned the topic to the purpose of this time, and asked inquiringly: "Long Qianhu's injury is almost healed, and he will be able to get out of this house in a few days." It's just that Qianhu should have heard that after the fall of Pingliang, Ye Yanqing, the commander of Anton Zhongwei, and Huang Ziren, the commander of the same commander, took the remaining Andong Zhongwei soldiers and horses to Xi'an to command the envoy, and now Anton Zhongwei exists in name only, I don't know what Long Qianhu plans to do in the future?
