"Mr. Fang, I know you're from Zhejiang?"

"Exactly" Fang Guoan hung his head, he smelled danger.

"Alas" Zhai Zhe sighed lightly, "I killed Zhang Kuang yesterday, you should all know about it."

There was silence in the tent.

Fang Yuanke, who was hiding behind his father, had an anxious look on his face.

"You have been in Yuezhou Mansion for eight days, how many battles have you fought?"

Fang Guoan couldn't say it, because he only fought one battle, that is, the battle that allowed Luckedhun to escape.

"How many soldiers have you captured in Yuezhou Mansion, how many grains and grass have you captured, and how do you maintain the grain route?"

Fang Guoan stood there, like a slap in the face, and it took him a long time to react, and he said strongly: "The defeat of Yuezhou's army is not my fault alone, if General Zuo arrives on time, he will definitely be able to stop Luckedhun."

Zuo Ruo was a day later than the expected day of the meeting, so he boldly let go of Luckedhun. He concluded that Zhai Zhe would not deal with Zuo Ruo, and played this shield in his hand. If Zhai Zhe only held him accountable, he would not accept it.

Zuo Ruo had already guessed that Fang Guoan would say this.

He was calm, and he was ready to be disposed of. He just told the general the details of what had happened, so that Zhai Zhe knew what was going on. Fang Guoan's mouth trembled a little, and he said one thing over and over again, hiding the uneasiness in his heart.

Zhai Zhe's face was very bad, and his mood was even worse.

If the generals under his command only know how to shirk their responsibilities, they will not be far from defeating the battle, but they have actually lost the battle

"Zuo Ruo, a fine of one year, I will play the court to invite you to break the position of the military marquis."

He interrupted Fang Guoan's words and said that he would directly state his decision.

Zhai Zhe's handling is just right, a one-year fine is a trivial matter, remove the marquis's old qualifications like Zuo Ruo, say that it is not heavy, and it is not light. For example, Fang Guoan attaches great importance to the knighthood of the imperial court, but under the general's mansion, the knighthood is not so important. He left Zuo Ruo's military power, and he couldn't touch Zuo Ruo's military power.

"Fang Guoan ......"

Before Zhai Zhe could speak, he was suddenly interrupted by a voice, Fang Yuanke stood up from behind his father and knelt on one knee: "General, please forgive my father's sins." ”

He pleaded with his father as a son, not only did not seem abrupt, but it was rare and valuable. The Ming Dynasty was popular with this, when one of the four sons of the Restoration Society, Mao Xiang's father was transferred to Zuo Liangyujun as a prison guard, he was afraid of the thieves and was unwilling to go to prison, risking money to save his father out, and was crowned with the beauty of "filial piety".

Zhai Zhe didn't look at Fang Yuanke, and then said, "Fang Guoan, you are old. Since you haven't done anything in Yuezhou Mansion, you don't have to do anything in the future."

"You are from Zhejiang, then go back to Hangzhou to enjoy your old age, when the two armies are inevitably negligent in the confrontation, don't have any accidents."

This sentence is very serious, which means that there is no room for negotiation. There was tension in the big tent, Fang Guoan pursed his lips, but he didn't dare to refute. He Tengjiao and Zhang Kuang are lessons from the past.

After saying these words, Zhai Zhecai looked at Fang Yuanke, who was kneeling on the ground, and continued: "Your son is still young, but he can succeed to the position of the chief soldier of Chizhou, and he can be regarded as the successor of the Fang family."

The details of the dark camp changed his mind that he was going to kill. On that day, Fang Yuanke waited in front of Fang Guoan's big tent for a long time, and the sound of the quarrel was not small. Now that Fang Yuanke is on the road, he is willing to leave a way out for the Fang family. Zhang Mingzhen is dead, and he doesn't want to leave the world with the impression that a great general can't tolerate people.

Fang Guoan is still there, this is not a very bad ending for him, at least better than He Tengjiao.

"General, I" He didn't know what to say, maybe he was unwilling, maybe he was happy.

Zhai Zhe didn't give him too much lyrical time, and ordered: "The sailor warship is waiting on the bank of the river, you go out immediately, don't stop along the way, and go to the General's Mansion to find Fang Yizhi after passing through Hangzhou." ”

"General......" Fang Yuanke raised his head, and when he saw Zhai Zhe's cold gaze, he took back the back half of the words.

This is the best outcome. Fang Guoan wanted to kidnap Zuo Ruo, but the general let him get his wish.

Fang entered and exited the column, and arched his hand: "General Soldier Fang, please"

Fang Guoan glanced at his son, he had a thousand words to tell, but he couldn't speak in front of everyone.

"Maybe I'm really old" Looking at the general's command, the eldest general soldier Xiao Zhiyan is younger than himself, and he has lived in a simple place in Nanjing, and it may be the right time to return to the mountains and forests. It's just that his son is young and vigorous, which makes it difficult for him to rest assured.

Fang Yuanke got up from the ground and walked in front of his father, "Dad"

Fang Jin peeked at Zhai Zhe's face as if he was displeased, and then urged: "Please"

"Alas" Fang Guoan sighed heavily, turned around and left.

Forty guards from the General's Mansion escorted him along the way until he was sent to the General's Mansion in Hangzhou. Hangzhou used to be the residence of other Guoan, but in recent years, it has been completely controlled by the General's Mansion, and he is like a bird in a cage when he arrives there, and there is no chance to flap his wings.

Sending Fang Guoan away, Zhai Zhe's disposal of the battle of Yuezhou Mansion is over, and the next step is to deal with Jingzhou City in front of him. Jingzhou City has been newly replenished by more than 30,000 new forces of Luckdehun, and it is no longer the precarious situation before

There is no need for two commanders for a soldier and horse, Zhai Zhe officially took over the command of the loyal battalion and unified the command of the Huguang war, and it seems unsightly and redundant for Yinxi to stay here again.

He was very conscious, and on the grounds of raising grain and grass, he said goodbye to Zhai Zhe and returned to Changsha. He Tengjiao was imprisoned in the barracks, and Changsha became a borderless land, and he had room to show his life when he returned there.

Zhai Zhe personally saw him off, and ordered Wen Linzhu to mobilize three naval warships to escort him, accompanied by six hundred soldiers.

The Ming army only bombarded Jingzhou City with iron cannons every day, and stopped climbing the city head to attack the city. For several days, the loyal battalion cut down trees and built earthen walls outside Jingzhou, making a momentum of a long-term siege. Leke Dehun saw the banner of the Ming army outside the city and did not dare to attack, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he could only be accompanied by the devastated Jingzhou City, and sent people to report to Hong Chengchou in Xiaogan City.

After collecting the rout of the Huguang battalion, the loyal battalion had more than 100,000 people, and the soldiers were strong and strong, but they were still helpless in the face of Jingzhou City.

Three days later in the evening.

It's not quite dark yet.

At the end of the day's artillery bombardment and siege of the city, a column of soldiers in the Jiangnan military camp was ready to go.

Zhai Zhe sent Zuo Ruo out of the camp.

"There is the main force of the Qing soldiers in Jingzhou City, I can only let you take 20,000 soldiers"

"20,000 men are enough"

"Take down Yuezhou, count you as recovering Huguanggong"

Zuo Ruo was a little sluggish, and arched his hand: "The general's trust will not be repaid by the general."

"Why do you say such a thing, you have been with me for fifteen years" Zhai Zhe smiled, "Fifteen years, do you know, I have always had a wish"

"General" Zuo Ruo sometimes feels that he understands Zhai Zhe very well, and sometimes he feels that he can't see through him at all.

"I think one day we can return to the grassland, turn Monan, Mobei, Modong and Moxi into our territory, and the foot of Yin Mountain into the pasture of the Han people."

This is his dream, he has never said it to anyone, it was a fool's errand to say it back then, but it is still said now.

"The Great General......

"You are the person I rely on the most," Zhai Zhe told his true thoughts. His eyes were sincere, but now he would believe his eyes.

Zuo Ruo was speechless.

Balance is the key to survival. Zuo Ruo and Feng Qin, Zhai Zhe will not let one person overwhelm the other. Although Zuo Ruo made mistakes in Yuezhou Mansion, it would not change his original plan.

When the general wants to support a person, he can always find a chance for him, not to mention, Zuo Ruo is a hard worker. It's a pity that Fang Guoan's eyes widened, he couldn't see Zhai Zhe's thoughts, and he was still trying to find Zuo Ruo's bad luck.

Zhai Zhe left a team of 10,000 people from Zuo Ruo's army. With the last bit of light, 20,000 soldiers set out on the road they had traveled three days earlier.

The muddy road had dried up, and there was still some cracked wet soil in the middle of the road. The ground on which the soldiers had trampled was smoother.

When they returned to Yuezhou Mansion, they were no longer alone. Because the pretty woman in Andingzhai is about to throw herself into Zuo Ruo's arms. Zhai Zhe was so anxious to let Zuo Ruo return to the army, precisely because he took a fancy to the relationship he had won over in Yuezhou Mansion the day before yesterday.

Those things that were born in Yuezhou Mansion can't be hidden from the secret camp, and of course they can't be hidden from the Qing court. The news that Yang Zongxin gave up neutrality and wanted to marry Zuo Ruo flew into Hong Chengchou's ears.

This is an extremely dangerous signal, and Hong Chengchou is well aware of the severity of this matter.

If the local gentry in Huguang did not support the Qing court or remained neutral, they would not be able to deal with the hundreds of thousands of Ming troops with the Qing court's strength in Huguang. But now, this situation has appeared in Yuezhou Mansion with a big opening.

In front of the settlement village

The 6,000 soldiers were arranged as neatly as rice stubble in a paddy field.

The Ming army in Yuezhou Prefecture was almost out. Andingzhai has been harassed nearly 100 times by thieves and officers and soldiers, but this is the second time it has faced such great pressure. Last time, Yang Zongxin opened the gate of the village and offered his most precious granddaughter.

The village soldiers at the head of the village wore turbans on their heads and held a variety of weapons. Some have birds, others have hoes.

"Hold the camp, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court will come back soon to save us" Yang Zongxin looked civil, and his voice was particularly loud when he shouted. He has already cut off his braids, and if he wants to marry Zuo Ruopan, of course he can't meet left and right

In front of the gate of the camp, three or four cavalry rushed forward.

The knight raised his hand to stop his horse and shouted: "Listen to the people in the village, we are only here to arrest Yang Zongxin, as long as Yang Zongxin is offered, a thousand taels of silver will be rewarded."

"Boom Boom"

He was greeted with a few sparse sounds of iron cannons. Yang Zongxin has been operating Anding Village for nearly ten years, and of course he will not let people shout out about the camp in a few words.

The knight was startled, turned his horse back, and scolded: "A group of things that don't know whether they are alive or dead, give me an attack." ”

He retreated to the position, and felt puzzled, and ordered: "Break through this village and let it be plundered" This is actually what Hong Chengchou meant, and he must not be soft on the squires and villages who dare to make friends with Daming Pan.
