Shangguan Xiu sat on the horse, waved his hand to Cai Huang, and said with a smile: "No need to be polite,"

When entering the city with Shangguan Xiu, Cai Huang did not mention his contribution to stabilizing the situation in Sichuanzhou, but said: "Our army was able to take Sichuan with less than 10,000 soldiers, all because of the merits of General Di, but General Di was unfortunately martyred in this battle, and asked His Royal Highness to posthumously seal the merits of General Di to comfort General Di's soul in the sky,"

He didn't take credit, but knew that the credit should be given to the fallen soldiers, such a general, Shangguan Xiu couldn't dislike it, he nodded, and praised: "General Cai is very good,"

Cai Huang invited Shangguan Xiu to the Dewang Mansion, and after taking a seat, he introduced: "Your Highness, this is Tang Cheng's palace in Sichuanzhou, and there are a total of 189 people in the mansion, including family members, nurses, and maids, and all of them are now in prison,"

Shangguan Xiu smiled and said casually: "The Sichuan Prefecture Prison must not be able to hold so many useless people,"

Cai Huang bowed down and responded: "Yes, I will deal with it after the end,"

Shangguan Xiu is not an emperor, and he cannot posthumously award the soldiers who died, but he can posthumously award medals and commend merits.

Although Di Yuan died in battle, he was also fortunate to become the first general in the Wind Country to receive the Leopard Head Medal, which also made Di Yuan's name permanently recorded in the military history of the Wind Country.

In the Battle of Sichuanzhou, only Di Yuan was the only general who won the Leopard Head Medal, even Cai Huang and the three regiment commanders under his command, as well as many meritorious soldiers, only won the third-class Wolf Head Medal.

There are three kinds of medals of tiger head, leopard head and wolf head, the tiger head medal is made of pure gold, and the leopard head medal is made of pure silver, these two medals are usually issued by the emperor himself, so they are also known as the gold medal and the silver medal.

The most awarded is the Wolf Head Medal, the Wolf Head Medal is made of iron and painted red, so the Wolf Head Medal is also called the Iron Blood Medal.

In the army, it is already a supreme honor to be awarded the Iron and Blood Medal, which is enough to show his outstanding contributions in the army.

Those who can wear the Order of Iron and Blood will be respected wherever they go, and the soldiers in the army also aim to obtain the Order of Iron and Blood.

After Shangguan Xiu awarded Di Yuan the Silver Medal, he held a funeral for him and all the fallen soldiers in the army.

The bodies of Di Yuan and the fallen soldiers were cremated, and the ashes were sorted out and preserved, and then, at the suggestion of Cai Huang, Shangguan Xiu appointed Xiao Qian as the county guard of Sichuan County and took charge of the county guard seal.

As for the county lieutenant of Sichuan County, Shangguan Xiu asked Zhong Kai to serve temporarily, Zhong Kai is the gentleman of Sichuan Lingwu Academy, and he is also a veteran of the army, among the rebels in Sichuan County, many people are still his disciples, >

However, Zhong Kai did not approve of Tang Yu's claim to be the emperor, and resolutely refused to serve the rebels.

The person who recommended Zhong Kai was Xiao Qian, and Shangguan Xiu respected Xiao Gan's proposal, so he appointed Zhong Kai as the county lieutenant.

Shangguan Xiu represents the imperial court, and Zhong Kai did not make any more excuses about the award of the imperial court, and moved into the county governor's mansion with peace of mind.

After the Zhenjun army captured Sichuanzhou, the county guard and the county governor's mansion soon had new owners, and the situation in Chuanzhou City did not deteriorate as expected by the rebels, but was more stable and calm than when the rebels were in charge.

The city of Sichuan accepted the Zhenjun army so quickly, and the nearly one million people in the city did not break out the slightest resistance, which made the Shangjing court feel an unprecedented crisis, and also made the officials of the Shangjing court realize how much the people around the country did not want to see them during their reign.

Tang Yu has warned the officials of the court more than once to be kind to the people, and the officials under his command are completely on the surface, behind the scenes, even calling His Majesty Shengming, but in private, they have intensified their search for the people's fat and people's ointment, and the loss of Sichuan is a reward for their evil deeds.

Soon after the fall of Sichuanzhou, Tang Yu urgently promulgated a letter to the whole country, of course, this letter to the people also spread to Sichuan and to Shangguan Xiu's hands.

In the book, Tang Yu counted Tang Ling's crimes, including Tang Ling's murder of his father and usurpation of the throne, cruelty to Zhongliang, reckless soldiers, years of war, the treasury was empty, the people were not able to make a living, the nine counties of the country of wind, the devastation was riddled with holes, floods in the north, drought in the south, retrograde actions, and the anger of the heavens and people's grievances, so he 'cut wood for soldiers, unveiled poles for flags, the world responded, soldiers and Jingcong, one person rebelled, and the sparks burned the plains',

After reading this letter to the whole people, Shangguan Xiu grouped it and threw it aside, unable to stand it at all.

In his opinion, only one of what Tang Yu said was true, that is, Tang Ling's father-killing usurpation, but Tang Yu had no evidence in his hand, only based on his red mouth and white teeth, who could believe it,

What disgusted Shangguan Xiu the most was Tang Yu's sentence of the nine counties of the Wind Country, the current Wind Country, obviously there are ten counties, in the letter to the whole people, Tang Yu did not dare to admit that Beijun is the territory of the Wind Country, such an emperor is inevitably too sloppy, and how to match the 'Shi and Jing Cong' (Jing does the shadow word, describing people of insight, like a shadow, following one after another), following Tang Yu's side, there are a few people who are really dedicated to the country, basically for their own selfishness, and so on, it is not an exaggeration to kill them all,

Cai Huang glanced at the announcement that was thrown into the corner, and he said with a smile: "Your Highness, Tang Yu's letter to the whole people is really not the right time, either before the war to make his rebel division famous, or after the war, to make his usurpation justified, but he is now issuing it at this wrong time, which can only show that our army captured Sichuan and really hurt the rebels, and Tang Yu has exhausted his donkey skills,"

Shangguan Xiu narrowed his eyes and said: "The world is bustling for profit, the world is bustling for profit, for the word fame and fortune, I don't know how many people dare to take out their lives to make a bet, after the promulgation of this letter to the people, presumably the strength of the rebels will increase significantly in a short period of time, Sichuan is very important to the rebels, the rebels will never ignore Sichuan Zhou, I am afraid that soon the rebels will gather heavy troops and attack in a big way, how will our army respond,"

Although the Zhenjun army now occupies Sichuan Prefecture steadily, it has not changed the trapped situation, grain and grass are not a problem, but there is no arms industry in Sichuanzhou, and the ammunition of the Zhenjun Army cannot be supplied.

Cao Lei rolled his eyes and said: "Brother Xiu, the top priority of our army is to give up Sichuanzhou, either open up the northern passage and go to Shangjing, or open the western passage and return to Zhenjun," whether it is going to Shangjing or returning to Zhenjun, it is better than being trapped in the dead place of Sichuan County,

Luo Ren shook his head and said: "Whether you go north or west, you have to take the waterway, but the waterway of Kechuan County has been firmly controlled by the Southeast Water Army, as long as the Southeast Water Army is still there, our army's north or west retreat is empty talk,"

Shangguan Xiu answered: "So the Southeast Navy is the key to victory," he looked at Zhao Chen and asked, "Can the families of Du Fei and Du Yu be captured?"

Zhao Chen glanced at Cai Huang and said, "Brother Xiu, Du Fei and Du Yu's family members are all imprisoned in the Sichuan State Prison, but Du Fei's eldest daughter is dead,"

"Dead, how dead,"

Before Zhao Chen could answer, Cai Huang knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Highness, it was the last general's carelessness that caused the thief girl to die," If Cai Huang had known that the woman who was captured was Du Fei's family, he would not have dealt so cruelly to her, and let the soldiers ravage her to death,

"Since Du Fei's daughter died at the hands of our army, it is impossible to force him to defect," Shangguan Xiu rubbed his chin and muttered,

Regardless of whether Du Fei and Du Yu are willing to defect, Shangguan Xiu will not leave a way for the two of them to live, the difference is that if the two of them are willing to defect, they will live for a longer period of time, and if they refuse to defect, Shangguan Xiu has to find a way to get rid of the two of them immediately.

Cai Huang said: "Your Highness, I have a plan,"

Shangguan Xiu saw that he was still kneeling on the ground, waved his hand to him, and motioned for him to get up.

After Cai Huang thanked him, he got up and said: "Your Highness, the county guard can announce the counties and cities of Sichuan County, five days later, all the captured families of the Southeast Navy Army will be beheaded in Sichuan Prefecture, if Du Fei and Du Yu brothers lead the army to rescue, it will be self-defeating, if he does not dare to lead the army to rescue, and he cannot explain to the soldiers under his command, the Southeast Navy will be hindered,"

Shangguan Xiu thought for a while and said, "This is also a way, this matter, let's do it like this,"

It didn't take five days, and that night, there was a new situation.

After nightfall, Shangguan Xiu wandered in the Dewang Mansion, even if Tang Cheng had moved away, but the foundation was still there, the Dewang Mansion still looked spectacular, walking in it, giving people the feeling of majestic atmosphere, many mansions were so large that they had reached the specifications of the palace,

Just looking at the Dewang Mansion, people naturally think of the word Emperor Tu,

Shangguan Xiu was walking, and suddenly heard the sound of firecrackers coming from the east side of the city, he frowned, walked into a garden, and sat down on the stone bench, not for long, Zhao Chen hurriedly walked in from outside, bowed down and said, "Brother Xiu,"

"What's the matter?"

"Just now, a traitor party robbed the prison in the east of the city, and now it has been captured by our army," because the number of rebels to be imprisoned is too large, the Sichuan prison has been far away, and the Zhenjun army has set up a prison in each of the four cities in the southeast, northwest, and northwest of Sichuanzhou.

"Heh, it's not a small amount of courage, a few people were captured,"

"There is only one traitor,"

"Only one person dares to rob the prison," Shangguan Xiu was happy, and said: "I'm not wrong, this person's courage is really not small, bring him over to see me,"

"Yes, Brother Xiu," Zhao Chen agreed, turned around to leave, Shangguan Xiu suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Who is the target of this person's prison robbery?"

"Zhang De,"

"Who,"

"Zhang De's son is one of the generals of the Southeast Water Army, named Zhang Luan, and Zhang De was also imprisoned because of Zhang Luan's involvement,"

"I see, Zhang De has several children,"

"There is only one son, Zhang Luan,"

"In this way, the person who robbed the prison is Zhang Luan,"

"The subordinates haven't interrogated yet, so I'm not sure for the time being,"

"Well, go ahead,"

Zhao Chen took the order and left, and after a little half an hour, Zhao Chen returned to the Dewang Mansion, and the two gendarmes dragged in a big man, this person was burly, born with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, with a big bald head, looking fierce and vicious,

Before and after being brought to Shangguan Xiu, the burly man did not kneel, but still glared at Shangguan Xiu angrily, without Shangguan Xiu's words, the gendarme on the side had punched him in the stomach, and then, another gendarme kicked him hard at the crook of his knee, and shouted: "When you see Your Highness, don't kneel yet,"

The burly man was forced to kneel on one knee, he roared at the two gendarmes, but in exchange for two heavy punches, the corners of his mouth were broken, and blood dripped down.

Shangguan Xiu's gaze fell on the burly man's face, and he asked slowly, "You are Zhang Luan,"

He is blind, Zhao Chen said that Zhang De has only one son, and he dares to risk killing his head, and the person who comes to rob the prison is probably only his only son Zhang Luan.

The burly man craned his neck and shouted: "Lao Tzu doesn't change his name when he stands or sits on his surname, it's Zhang Luan,"

Shangguan Xiu said with a smile: "The people who are qualified to call themselves Lao Tzu in front of me are all ancient, Zhang Luan, do you think you are worthy?"

"You ......"

"I'm Shangguan Xiu," Shangguan Xiu flicked his cuffs and said with a light smile, but when he spoke, the light from his eyes was like two sharp knives, which could not only penetrate people's hearts, but also seem to be able to penetrate people's souls.

The burly man's mouth opened, but in the end he didn't speak,
