Chapter 389: Yang Wu's Intelligence
Liu Fan didn't know how to deal with this Yang Wu in front of him, he had already proved his loyalty to Liu Fan with his actions, the four major families in Yangzhou, in addition to hundreds of children who were taken care of by Yang Wu, nearly 20,000 people in the city were killed by Yang Wu. In Yang Wu's words, those children who were held together, as long as a little training washed away the memories in their minds, they would be a group of elite killers and soldiers in the future. Yang Wu can be said to have made maximum use of the four great families.
"My lord, the last general has already distributed the wealth of the four great families to the subordinates of the last general, and I also ask the lord to atone for his sins. As soon as Liu Fan returned to the City Lord's Mansion, Yang Wu knelt in front of Liu Fan, these soldiers in Yangzhou were all made popular by the rich wealth of the four major families in Yangzhou, and even killed Zuihou, there were many other rich people who were exterminated.
The corners of Liu Fan's mouth moved, and there was a strong smell of blood in the air, the property left by the four great families in Yangzhou City was not much, at most it was one-tenth of the wealth of the four families, and most of the wealth of the four of them was transferred to Chaisang, and they wanted to transfer from Chaisang to Yizhou, and when they returned to the imperial capital, it was a pity that the current Chaisang City was also under Liu Fan's control, and that wealth was returned to Liu Fan's hands.
"You have done a good job, and you should be rewarded for your merit. Liu Fan nodded and said to Lu Wenlong and Cao Ning, who were standing at the door with weapons in their hands. Liu Fan glanced at Yang Wudao: "Say, what's going on with these?"
"Does the lord want to know about Zhang Rang or do you want to know about my father?"
"I want to know, especially how many people like you are left? How many of the young soldiers who left back then still keep in touch with you, and how many people are still under Zhang Rang's hands now?
Yang Wu lowered his head. Slowly, the whole thing will come out. Liu Fan was also shocked by the fact that Yang Wu said. I didn't expect Yang Wu to know so much. When Prince Li disbanded the army, Yang Wu's father returned to his home to work as a farmer because of his extreme disappointment with the imperial court, and then because of several famines, he sold himself to a slave's home as a janitor.
In Zhang Rang's mansion, Yang Wu's father gradually learned a lot of secrets, and Yang Shouwang, who was originally depressed, settled down and worked for the Zhang family wholeheartedly. As a result, he was led by the people of the Zhang family as a reliable person. Of course, Zhang Rang would not let an outsider know so many secrets, of course, the blood droplet also found out Yang Shouwang's identity, but the blood droplet has monitored Yang Shouwang for more than ten years, Yang Shouwang has not shown any flaws, but has done his best to serve them, and gradually Zhang Rang relaxed his vigilance against Yang Shouwang, but he didn't expect that all this Yang Shouwang did was just collecting his intelligence.
In order to completely retain Yang Shouwang's heart, Zhang Rang specially promised Yang Shouwang a daughter-in-law, and Yang Wu was born later. So Yang Shouwang handed over all his hopes to Yang Wu, and secretly recorded everything he knew. Yang Wu was fifteen years old. was brought to the army by Zhang Rang, and showed good potential, and Zhang Rang also cared for Yang Wu. Yang Wu did not disappoint him, and received a lot of military exploits in several foreign battles, so he was sent to Yangzhou by Zhang Rang to rectify the useless Yangzhou garrison. As for the matter of the young soldier, he only knew about his father, after all, this matter was too sensitive, and he didn't dare to look for the robe of the year.
"Have you ever seen someone who fixes the joint with Zhang Rang every month?" The shili standing behind Zhang Rang was far more powerful than Liu Fan imagined, and from Yang Wu's mouth, Liu Fan concluded that the shili standing behind Zhang Rang was even far beyond the strength in his hands now.
Yang Wu shook his head and said, "The last general doesn't know, but the last general knows that the Eight Great Emperor Merchants have already been in contact with Zhang Rang when he was in control of the blood droplets. Lord, according to the news known to the last general, Zhang Rang also had a Praetorian Guard army that entered Xuzhou is the Fifth Praetorian Guard Legion, and before this dispatch, Zhang Rang's Third Praetorian Guard Legion had disappeared from the imperial capital. ”
This news was enough to shock Liu Fan, Liu Fan always thought that the reason why the Eight Great Imperial Merchants fully supported Zhang Rang was completely because of the situation, at least before Zhang Rang took control of the imperial capital, three of the eight imperial merchants clearly supported He Muping, and almost all of He Muping's military expenses were provided by them. And the other two imperial merchants wavered in their attitudes, and now it seems that the reason why they did this is completely for a reason, they just don't want to put all their eggs in one basket, or they have already begun to calculate He Muping a long time ago.
The Third Praetorian Guard Regiment has disappeared? This is absolutely not good news for Liu Fan, who is already overstretched at present, a Praetorian Guard Legion has entered Xuzhou, and it is the Fifth Praetorian Guard Legion, so where did the Third Praetorian Guard Legion go? What is the purpose of the Fifth Praetorian Guard Legion entering Xuzhou? Weishenme intelligence does not show it? Could their purpose be Jianye? At present, in Jianye City, only Zhang Yun is garrisoned with 50,000 new soldiers. The Praetorian Guard in Xuzhou can be directly inserted into the heart of the Liujia army, Jianye and Huiji.
"Gao Pet, immediately send someone to send a letter to Zhou Yu of Huiji, ask him to defeat the enemy army besieging Huiji as soon as possible, and let Jia Xu and Zhang Yun of Jianye City hold the city defense, no matter what happens, be sure to defend Jianye City for me. Liu Fan's heart was shocked, the two Praetorian Guard legions that disappeared were both super powerful Praetorian Guard legions, once they went straight to Jianye Huiji from Xuzhou and Jingzhou, then everything Liu Fan did was done in vain.
"Yang Wu, I will hand over Yangzhou City to you to garrison, and Gao Zhong will stay to assist you. Remember that managing Yangzhou City well is not only about butcher knives, but also about a big stick and a carrot. The rest of the towns in Yangzhou, you and Gao Pet must send troops to encircle and suppress, and must not drag down the army in front" The two disappearance of the Praetorian Guard Corps made Liu Fan frightened, if these two legions really went straight into Jianye and Huiji, and attacked the defenders on the front line of Jian'an from the rear, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Yes, my lord. Yang Wu didn't express his opinion, he knew what Liu Fan meant by leaving Gao Pet, and he also knew that it was a special matter now, after all, the only thing that could prove Yang Wu's identity was that piece of armor and his own dictation, leaving Gao Pet was nothing more than the meaning of spying on him, Yang Wu's heart did not have any unhappiness, but the towns around Yangzhou City were enough for Yang Wu to fight for a while.
On the city of Huiji, Zhou Yu stood on the city wall and looked at the naval division of the Liujia Army and the navy of Yizhou, the navy of Yizhou fought with the sea tribe all the year round, and the combat effectiveness was very strong, and the Liujia army was not at the same level as the navy in terms of water warfare ability. Gan Ning and Zhou Tai followed Zhou Yu's side, and they also looked at the navy in Yizhou with a solemn face, while Zhang Hu looked puzzled, not knowing what Zhou Yu was going to do.
Zhang Hu and Cai Mao also admire Zhou Yu now, not only because of Liu Fan, but also because of their actual ability. From the beginning of arriving at Huiji City, Huiji's attack and defense have completely changed, although the city is still mostly defended, but several water battles have made the Liujia army, which has been repeatedly defeated, repeatedly bargain for one or two points in the hands of the powerful Yizhou navy.
"General Zhou, what are we going to do here?" The arrows in the city have been used up, a few times before the battle Zhou Yu is completely familiar with the temper of the other general, these days Zhou Yu just let the navy fight on a small scale, each time the battle ranges from 100 to 1,000 people, almost every time the Liujia army is to retreat back to the camp in defeat, and the victorious Yizhou Navy will also find strangely, as long as the navy retreats back to the camp, their Yangzhou army will be killed by the two fierce generals who rushed out of the city for a while, and now the army of the Yangzhou army has been completely killed all the courage, and the camp is not out every day。
"It's a nice day, and if I'm right, two days from now, when there's a big rainstorm, that's when we'll need it. Zhou Yu looked at Zhang Hu with a smile, and did not name the usefulness of him to let the soldiers rush to make these straw figures day and night, and in Huiji City, there were thousands of boats that were made overnight, and Gan Ning and Zhou Tai showed excitement on their faces. (To be continued.) )
