Chapter 153

Chapter 153 Heartbreak

"There are Zhenhai Army on all sides. Anyone with eyes knows what to do. Can you all die?" The subordinate muttered in a low voice. It turned out that the west of Huzhou was Xuanzhou in Huainan, and the other three sides were surrounded by Hangzhou and Suzhou. Since Gu Quanwu crossed the seafly army and the Huainan army retreated, Huzhou was surrounded by Zhenhai Army on three sides. Naturally, Huzhou generals and officials who have been fences for more than a year have fallen over the past year, and only the governor Li Yanhui, who was recommended by Yang Xingmi, still allocated troops and horses in the city, built city walls, and prepared to resist the attack of Zhenhai Army. At the beginning, the subordinate officials were slandered. As the Huainan army retreated step by step along the Jiangnan Canal, Taimeng and Zhou Ben were defeated in Suzhou, Huzhou generals and officials fell ill together. No matter what orders the governor gave, no one would implement them. Li Yanhui was completely undermined.

"A little thief who is trying to die, dare to say more." Li Yanhui, who was extremely angry, pulled out the long sword from his waist and stabbed the verbal official in a moment. Blood immediately splattered his face. Looking at the eyes of the official who was full of disbelief, Li Yanhui felt exhausted. These days, he was almost fighting with the entire Huzhou alone. If there was a little movement at night, he would wake up, afraid that his subordinates would use him as a letter of fame to surrender to Zhenhaijun. During the day, everyone seemed to have unconcealed gloom in their eyes. Now, he could no longer bear it.

"Ah!" Suddenly screamed, Li Yanhui looked to the voice in surprise. It turned out to be another official, holding a letter in his hand. The texture of the white hemp paper was a very important official letter. The official fell to the ground with his butt, his legs trembling like a sieve. He thought he was shocked by the scene of blood splashing in the Mingtang.

"What news, huh?" Li Yanhui walked over with his sword in his arms. His face was covered with blood that had not yet solidified, and he looked terrible. The official's mouth kept opening and closing, but he couldn't speak. Li Yanhui's eyebrows were over, his wrist was slightly raised, and he saw that another sword was about to stab him. The official was wise in a hurry, and although he still couldn't speak, he quickly handed over the letter in his hand. Only then did he distract Li Yanhui's attention and escaped his life.

"It will be moved to Danyang Town General, the military farm envoy, and the commander of Mo Ye, Lu Fang, as the governor of Huzhou. Good, only such a demon can deal with these traitors and come." Li Yanhui opened the letter and read this, he suddenly stopped. "It will take at least seven or eight days for this letter to be transmitted from Guangling, Huainan. It will take at least half a month for Lu Fang to receive the appointment. The last letter has clearly explained the critical situation here. When Lu Fang went to Jiangnan, he was deeply involved.

Knowing the principle that soldiers are more powerful than speed, but why haven’t I heard any news of him sending troops for so long?” Li Yanhui immediately fell from the peak of excitement just now, and his face turned pale. At this time, a violent sound of footsteps came from outside the wall, followed by four or five men. The leader was Li Yanhui’s personal soldiers. He gasped and said, “No, the state soldiers in the left wing mutiny and said that they would increase their salary. The other parts were not stable.”

Li Yanhui was shocked, and there were waves of people coming from afar. You could still vaguely hear the words "好如" and "好如" and "好如"; the soldiers who mutinyed were afraid that there would be no less than a thousand soldiers. Li Yanhui was about to go out to check, but the leader of the personal soldier suddenly knelt on the ground and shouted, "Encourt, please go quickly. There were so many people mutiny at once, but there were no signs in advance. It must be someone secretly commanding the envoy. Now everyone in Huzhou City is an enemy enemy. It is better to go to Huainan first and then lead the troops back to attack."

Li Yanhui was still a little hesitant. There was a violent impact sound from the mansion gate not far away. Looking at the anxious eyes of the confidants in front of him, Li Yanhui also made a decision for a moment.

"Let's go to Ximen right away." Li Yanhui immediately turned around and headed towards the stable. "Hmph, don't be too happy too early. Soon, the devil Lu Fang will come to deal with you."

In April of the fourth year of Ganning, Huzhou City, outside the east gate, dozens of generals and officials from Huzhou were lined up in two rows, waiting for the Zhenhai army to enter the city. They were all excited and uneasy. It turned out that before Qian Miao attacked Dong Chang, Huzhou was originally the generals of Dongchang Town. After the war started, the Xuanrun Army of Huainan arrived, Dong Chang's army joined forces with the Huainan Army to besiege Qian Miao. After the defeat, these Dong Chang's troops retreated back to Huainan with the Huainan Army. However, most of the soldiers in Huzhou were locals and had close ties with the Zhenhai Army of Qian Miao. After the Huainan Army headed south, the people were recruited for food, and the people were in ruins. The lieutenant generals, who were mainly local tyrants, naturally had resentment, but the situation was stronger than the people. Tens of thousands of troops were at their doorstep, and they could only pinch their noses and recognize Yang Xingmi's sting. Shi Li Yanhui. But as the situation gradually became more and more beneficial to Zhenhaijun, their little calculations were also heard. Gu Quanwu sent someone to envoy, promising that if they expel Li Yanhui and defect to Qian Miao, they would not only ensure their current official position, their property, land and house safety, but also exempt them from the two taxes on land and property in their families. You should know that over the past year, Huzhou had been in chaos, and many land and houses had been turned into ruins. Most of these generals and officials' families were powerful and powerful, so they naturally ate them. The small households who were unable to save themselves had to "dedicate" their own property to them, and they also became the subordinates of the generals and officials' families, Tian Ke. Gu Quanwu's condition hit their point. Soon, these local snakes in Huzhou and powerful factions expelled the governor Li Yanhui and sent envoys to welcome Zhenhaijun into the city.

April in Jiangnan is already full of spring. The dozens of people standing outside the city have seen a group of people appearing in the distance. The sharp-eyed ones even saw the word "Xu" written on the flag. Those who understand the inside story of Zhenhai Army have guessed that it was Xu Zaisi, deputy commander of Wu Yongdu. This person accompanied Gu Quanwu to lead the army to make many military achievements. In front of him, there are hot generals under Qian Miao. In the future, everyone will be under his command. Huzhou commander quickly ordered the music of victory. The trend of weak Jiangnan is prevalent, and everyone is not wearing armor, but also brocade robes and jade belts. These Huzhou generals and officials look graceful. If they were not just green robes and red robes, they would look like court ministers.

As he spoke, the man had already walked closer. The Huzhou generals could see clearly that the soldiers in the team were all dark, cracked, tired, tattered, many of them had no pairs of complete shoes on their feet, and their bags of private belongings were even empty. Despite this, although there were no officers urging them, the ranks in the army were still tidy, and the soldiers in the army showed their murderous aura intentionally or unintentionally, indicating that this was the victorious army that would defeat Dong Chang and drive out the Huainan Army.

Even if the Huzhou generals and officials had never eaten pork, they had seen pigs run away. If they had not even seen this in such a chaotic world, they would be afraid that they would die in a blink of an eye. They all bowed their heads and exchanged their eyes in complex expressions. A fat white man in a green robe sighed: "It's indeed a tiger and wolf army. If it weren't for such a hero, how could he drive the Huainan army back? Huzhou has finally been saved."

A black-faced man with a short beard next to him had the opposite opinion, and he sneered and retorted: "I don't think the tiger is, but the wolf is sure. Look at these military men who are poor and jingling, their eyes are about to be green. The Huainan thief left, but Xu Zaisi came again, hehe! Everyone can't pass the test if they don't take off a few layers of skin this time."

The fat man retorted: "I don't think so. Isn't the letter written by Gu Shuai very clear? As long as Huzhou joins the money envoy, everything will be in turmoil. Gu Shuai has always been famous for his kindness in the southeast. After fighting against Dong Chang, he buried Dong Chang's son Dong Zhen, who was killed by Qu, and the generals under the Zhejiang East Army did not take personal revenge. How could he have the idea of ​​making a little money for us?"

The black-faced man spat out disdainfully and scolded, "That's two things. After trying to pacify Dong Chang, the Huainan army was approaching. Tian Wei's spear tip was almost stuck on Qian Miao's belly. If he didn't show his kindness and conquer the hearts of the people, he was afraid that the surrendered troops would blow up the camp at any time. How could he drive Dong Chang's former subordinates to attack the Huainan army? But now the overall situation in the southeast has been settled, and we are just dispensable people. The two Zhejiang areas have long been defeated to the poor and wealth. I heard that even Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou City has to pay the public money. Do you think we can still run away?"

The fat man heard that Lingyin Temple had paid for public service, his face was sweating and his face was full of fat, and his face was filled with pain: he kept chanting the Buddha's name: "Amitabha. Even the big jungle in Lingyin Temple has to pay for it? How can there be such a reason? I'm afraid that Gu Quanwu can't count the words. No wonder Xu Zaisi, the Northern Barbarian, led his troops here, just asking for more chewing. Living in such a chaotic world is really a bad thing in his previous life."

When the people around heard the black-faced man's words, their faces became gloomy. Each of them had at least several hundred hectares of good land at home and had a lot of food and cloth. If Xu Zaisi asked for money, it would be very convenient for them to find them. After all, after the plunder of Xuanrun's army, the common people in Huzhou had no more oil and water. Everyone looked at the brigade in front of them and couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

In Huzhou City, in the governor's mansion, it turned out that the governor Li Yanhui, who was recommended by Yang Xingmi from Huainan, had already fled to the nearby Xuanzhou Tianwei. The old walls and houses had been painted and cleaned up to welcome the new owner, Xu Zaisi, the deputy commander of the Martial Emperor Wuyongdu. The lights were brightly lit in the Mingtang. A few days ago, the generals and officials in Huzhou who were bedridden, were gathering together, and were welcoming the heroes in front of Xu Zaisi, the Qian Envoy.

After three rounds of wine, everyone on the seat had a little drunk. The fat man had seen Xu Zaisi's head's face flushed, as if he was in a good mood. With the help of wine, he stood up and raised his glass and smiled: "The envoy of Qian is ordered by the imperial court to attack the rebel Dong Chang. We are forced by the thieves in Huainan and are not allowed to give in vain. We have not immediately surrendered to the king's command. We deserve to die. General Xu Haihuai will be asked to do so."
