Chapter 739: Heading for Liaodong

Liu San shouted and cursed, and at the same time whipped like a fly, hitting Huang Daozhou. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info It wasn't until Huang Daozhou fainted that Liu San threw the whip in relief and scolded: "Slut! ”

After this whipping, the resentment in Liu San's heart finally disappeared a lot, he hummed a small tune, and got out of the edict with ease.

The next day, early in the morning, the familiar housekeeper Xu appeared in front of the gate of the Dongjiang Courtyard early in the old mansion of Xu Ge, and the door immediately greeted Xu Liang.

After Steward Xu saw Xu Liang, he arched his hand and said politely: "Lord Xu, my master asked the little one to come over and inform you that you can go to Dongchang to pick up people." In addition, this is a letter from my grandfather to Lord Xu. ”

Xu Liang took the letter, read it carefully, nodded, and didn't say anything, just turned back to Duan Zhigang and said, "Prepare the carriage and go to the East Factory to pick up people." ”

Duan Zhigang immediately understood that there should be some kind of reconciliation between the cabinet and his own adults, so he gathered a team of Tsing Yi guards and escorted Xu Liang straight to the East Factory.

The carriage drove to the gate of the Yamen of the Dongchang Factory under the first rays of sunlight in the early morning, Xu Liang got out of the carriage, stood in front of the Dongchang Gate, and looked at the two rows of Dongchang fans at the gate as if they were facing a great enemy, and looked at Xu Liang and others vigilantly.

Cao Huachun, the supervisor of Dongchang Factory, had already learned that Xu Liang was coming to pick up people, and after hearing that Xu Liang had arrived at the gate, he immediately walked out, stood under the gate, and looked at Xu Liang with a complicated expression.

"Grandpa Cao, don't come unharmed." Xu Liang squinted his eyes and said, "Presumably Gonggong Cao understands the intention of this official today, what about the people of Zodiac Zhou?" Hand him over to me. ”

Cao Huachun's expression was very complicated, a little shocked, and a little regretful. He didn't expect that Sun Chengzong, the cabinet, would reach an agreement with Xu Liang so quickly, and he didn't ask how much information that was useful to Dongchang from Huang Daozhou, Cao Huachun was very unwilling to release people so early, but early this morning, the palace brought the emperor's will to him, release people! Although Cao Huachun was helpless, he had no choice but to obey the order.

Cao Huachun arched his hand slightly and said, "Lord Xu, wait a minute." Liu has already gone to prison to take people. Saying that, Cao Huachun suddenly grinned and said with a gloomy smile: "Our family is going to congratulate Lord Xu, transferred to the governor of Liaodong, and worked as an errand under the old Sun Ge, he will definitely have a bright future in the future, and his official fortune will be prosperous!" ”

The corners of Xu Liang's mouth twitched, and he said coldly: "Borrow my father-in-law's auspicious words." ”

The two were originally friends and foes, and after saying these few words, there was no topic.

Cao Huachun looked back, still saw Liu San's figure, and said without words: "There is still some time for Liu Stalltou to go to the edict prison to raise people, and Lord Xu hasn't come to my Dongchang Yamen yet, right?" Why don't you go in and sit down today? ”

Xu Liang pursed his lips and snorted coldly: "No need! I heard that the Yamen of Dongchang is full of ghosts all year round, and this official is still standing in this sunshine to be safer. ”

Cao Huachun's face turned dark and looked at Xu Liang coldly.

Two Dongchang fans set up a person in a white-clothed prison uniform walked out, the person was dying, went down the steps and suddenly looked up, saw Xu Liang, and opened his mouth with difficulty and shouted: "My lord......"

"Dao Zhou?!" Xu Liang was taken aback, hurriedly stepped forward, and looked up and down at the tortured Huang Daozhou in front of him, and his heart was slightly sour. The Tsing Yi Wei behind him hurriedly stepped forward and took over Huang Daozhou from Dongchang Fanzi.

"Dao Zhou, you have suffered." Xu Liang said distressedly.

Huang Daozhou said with difficulty: "Let the adults worry." Xia Guan can still see Lord Xu, Xia Guan is already very content. Ahem, cough ......" Huang Daozhou coughed a few times, and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.

Xu Liang hurriedly shouted to the left and right Tsing Yi guards: "Quickly help Lord Huang to get into the carriage." Then he turned around, stared at Cao Huachun, and said in a cold tone: "Father-in-law Cao, the hospitality of your Dongchang is remembered by the official." We don't change Qingshan, there will be a period in the future! With that, he turned around and boarded the carriage and departed quickly.

Cao Huachun waited for Xu Liang and the others to go away, and then stared at the two Dongchang fans who came out with Zodiac Zhou with an unkind face, and asked sharply, "What's the matter?" Who branded the zodiac week like that? ”

The two Dongchang fans were in a hurry.

Cao Huachun shouted: "Say! ”

Fanzi lowered his head and arched his hand: "It's Liu stall head!" Last night, Liu was in a bad mood, so he snorted and vented his anger. ”

"Liu San?!" Cao Huachun gritted his teeth, looked around the people who didn't see Liu San, and understood that Liu San had a ghost in his heart, and he didn't dare to show his face easily.

A team of Tsing Yi guards guarded Xu Liang's black carriage and drove steadily on the way back to the Dongjiang Courtyard. Inside the carriage, Huang Dao was covered with a soft leather jacket, and he lay there, his face pale, but his expression was not much pain.

"My lord, the lower official didn't say a word in the edict." Huang Daozhou seemed a little proud when he said this, and the corners of his eyes blinked mischievously.

Xu Liang nodded affirmatively, "I know." Dao Zhou, you are a strong warrior. ”

Huang Daozhou's expression was regretful, and he said: "It's a pity that Chai Lao Liu and Luo Bing are unreliable, and they were frightened by the torture of Dongchang, so they recruited everything." ”

"Hmph, these two people are innocent!" Xu Liang said angrily.

Zodiac Zhou smiled, deeply agreeing.

Xu Liang pulled a quilt to cover Huang Daozhou, and said: "You are full of injuries, bear with it first, and when you return to the Dongjiang Courtyard, a doctor will treat your injuries." ”

"Hmm."

Xu Liang took Huang Daozhou back, handed it over to Yan Qi, and asked him to arrange for the best doctor in the capital to treat Huang Daozhou's injuries.

When it was nearly noon, a director of the Ministry of Officials came over and sent the official documents of Xu Liang and Huang Daozhou, along with the official seal of the governor of Liaodong, and took back the official seal of the governor of Shaanxi.

When the officials came, Duan Zhigang, Tietou, Yan Qi and others watched on the spot, and they were all surprised to see that the officials were moving so quickly.

The head of the ministry finished all the journeys, and before leaving, he bowed his hand to Xu Liang and reminded: "Lord Xu, according to the rules, before the new official takes office, he must enter the palace to thank the emperor." Well, since you are transferred at the same level, and the cabinet is in a hurry, asking you to leave within three days, Lord Shangshu explained, saying that Lord Xu, your situation this time is special, so you don't have to enter the palace to thank you. The head of the ministry said, he felt strange, but the secretary of the ministry Shangshu Wang Guoguang did explain like this, and the head of the ministry hurriedly relayed it, and then fled and left the Dongjiang Courtyard.

Xu Liang sneered in his heart, this transfer can be said to be the result of mutual compromise between the two sides, the emperor and himself both know that the emperor does not want to see Xu Liang, and Xu Liang does not want to see the emperor. Even if the Ministry of Shangshu Wang Guoguang didn't remind him, Xu Liang was not ready to go into the palace to stick the emperor's cold ass.

When the head of the Ministry of Officials left, Yan Qi and the other three people hugged over and exclaimed, "My lord, why are you in such a hurry? Leaving in three days? ”

Xu Liang sneered: "Sun Chengzong's old guy is worried about long nights and dreams, and the day after tomorrow, the official will go to Liaodong with Sun Chengzong to take office." ”

Yan Qi pointed to the Dongjiang Courtyard and asked, "Time is so tight, what should adults do about Jingshi Qingyiwei and Shaanxi?" ”

Xu Liang groaned, and then said: "The work of Jingshi Qingyi Wei is still in charge of Yan Qi, as for the Shaanxi side, the official will write a few secret letters in a while, and you will arrange for someone to send them out through the fastest and safest channel." ”

"Yes." Yan Qi and the others saw that Xu Liang had already made plans, so they didn't say more. Duan Zhigang said: "My subordinates will arrange the manpower to enter Liaodong. ”

Tietou said: "I'll study ink for the young master." ”

Xu Liang entered the study, sat behind the desk, thought about the people and things in Shaanxi, and gradually had a plan, so he picked up the pen, and after leaving Shaanxi in a hurry, how to arrange the officials, army, finance, materials, etc. in Shaanxi were written one by one, divided into several secret letters, and after writing the name of the recipient on the cover, Xu Liang sighed lightly and sat down.

After Xu Liang left Shaanxi, the person who took over was Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides. Hong Chengchou has been bullied by Xu Liang for a long time, and he has a deep resentment in his heart, although there is a cabinet promise that Shaanxi officials will not change within three to five years, but Xu Liang has never believed in this promise. Based on Xu Liang's understanding of Hong Chengchou, as long as Hong Chengchou has the initiative, he will definitely be eager to install his own officials and collect Shaanxi's troops, money and food.

Then, go all out to suppress the officials of Xu Liang's family!

Xu Liang's strategy for Shaanxi's lineage was to let the lineage officials headed by Wang Qinian temporarily avoid Hong Chengchou's edge and preserve their strength. The main forces of the Liang army were all concentrated in Chijin and Shazhou in Turpan, and the money and grain in Shaanxi were also transferred to Turpan. The arms department in the Tsing Yi Guard was also transferred to Chijin City. It was the territory of the Liang army, and the power of the court could not manage Chijin and Shazhou at all.

Wang Qinian himself, instead of Xu Liang, managed Chijin and Shazhou, plus tens of thousands of Liang troops were stationed, no matter how bold Hong Chengchou was, he did not dare to easily fight the idea of Chijin and Shazhou. As for the original personnel of the Patrol Department and the Taxation Department under the management of the Shaanxi Governor Yamen, the Garrison Office, the Archives Department and the Investigation Department of the Tsing Yi Guard, Xu Liang did not plan to leave these people to Hong Chengchou, but arranged for Luo Baiguan and Cao Bianjiao, the pioneer of the Liang Army's cavalry battalion, to break into pieces and set off from Shaanxi in batches to Liaodong to join Xu Liang.

Xu Liang arranged this affairs properly, ordered Yan Qi to send the secret letter out, and was about to go out to exercise his body, when he suddenly saw Huang Daozhou standing at the door of the study.

Xu Liang was slightly surprised, and asked with a smile: "Dao Zhou was cured by medical treatment so quickly?" ”

At this time, Huang Daozhou was wearing a decent Confucian shirt, and he had already taken a new bath, and the doctor re-processed the external injuries on his body, except for the smell of herbs exuding from his body when he approached, and his face was pale, at first glance, it was almost impossible to see that Huang Daozhou had been injured all over his body an hour ago.

Huang Daozhou looked straight at Xu Liang with tears in his eyes.

"Dao Zhou, what's wrong with you?" Xu Liang reluctantly smiled.

Suddenly, with a plop, Huang Daozhou knelt straight in front of Xu Liang.

Xu Liang was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Huang Daozhou up, and exclaimed: "Daozhou, what are you doing?" Hurry up! ”

However, Huang Daozhou shook his hand and broke free from the hand that Xu Liang handed over to him, supported the ground with both hands, and solemnly knocked his head to Xu Liang respectfully.

"Dao Zhou......" Xu Liang cried out in shock.

Huang Daozhou solemnly kowtowed, then got up, looked at Xu Liang, his eyes were blazing, and said solemnly: "My lord, you actually made such a big sacrifice in order to save the lower official!" There is nothing to be rewarded! Xiaguan's life was saved by an adult, and the adult can take it back at any time. I don't have anything outstanding about Zodiac Zhou, only this cheap life, and it will be handed over to adults in the future! ”

Xu Liang was deeply moved, and hurriedly said: "Dao Zhou, what are you doing so seriously!" You're my subordinate, shouldn't I save you?! ”

Huang Daozhou nodded solemnly, raised his right hand, and said solemnly: "I, Huang Daozhou, swear to the sky here, follow the adults in this life, and I will not swerve until death!" ”

"Oops!" Xu Liang was so moved that he almost burst into tears, and hurriedly interrupted Huang Daozhou's next oath, and then Huang Daozhou sat down on the chair and asked softly, "You know everything?" ”

Huang Daozhou nodded heavily, and his voice choked: "My lord, it's not worth it for you to do this for the sake of the lower officials!" ”

Xu Liang interrupted him, "Whether it's worth it or not, the official knows it in his heart." Well, since you know everything, you should also know that we will leave for Liaodong in three days. So there isn't much time left for Dao Zhou to recuperate. In the past two days, you should rest well and heal as soon as possible. ”

"But...... Shaanxi Province has always been the foundation that you have worked hard to build. Adults just gave up? How difficult it is to recover later! Huang Daozhou was still entangled in this issue, and shouted with guilt on his face.

Seeing this, Xu Liang sighed, pressed Huang Daozhou's shoulders, and said seriously: "Daozhou, you look at my eyes!" I'll tell you now, what kind of foundation is gone, we can still re-create, only you Huang Daozhou is my subordinate Xu Liang, a brother who has died! If you're gone, where am I going to find such a good brother? Where there is life, there is hope! As long as people are still there, what we have lost will be regained one day! Do you understand?! ”

Huang Daozhou's eyes were red, and he nodded solemnly: "My lord, I understand!" Rest assured, I will not let you down! ”

"Okay," Xu Liang patted Huang Daozhou's shoulder and said with concern, "You go down to rest first." Set off with me the day after tomorrow. ”

Three days later, Xu Liang set off from Beijing with the convoy of the governor of Jiliao and the cabinet minister Sun Chengzong from Beijing to Liaodong. The group arrived in Tongzhou, where they met the soldiers and horses of Dai Feng, the general soldier of Tongzhou, and a group of more than 30,000 people marched towards the Liaodong region.

When camping at night, Xu Liang found Dai Feng and Sima Qiudao, and said with a guilty face: "I originally wanted to bring you 30,000 Liang brothers back to Shaanxi, but now I want you to follow me to Liaodong, which is even more bitter cold. ”

Dai Feng pouted disappreliantly: "The virtuous son-in-law has seen the outside." As long as the virtuous son-in-law does not give up on these 30,000 brothers, it does not matter where he goes. Besides, the old man has already learned the benefits and disadvantages of Tartar! Now it's finally getting what you want, haha. ”

Sima begged: "My lord made this decision in order to rescue Huang Daozhou!" Such a feat of righteousness and thin clouds, the last general is boiling when he hears it! Being able to follow adults is the blessing of the last general and 30,000 soldiers, why do you feel guilty?! (To be continued.) )
