Chapter 316 Two Hearts (Part 2)
Regardless of whether they were convinced or not, Zuo Liangyu still ordered someone to beat them up before he vented his anger.
Logically speaking, is it right for Commander-in-Chief Zuo Liangyu to give them both a good beating? Yes!
These two people openly "stood" and failed to report the enemy's situation to Zuo Liangyu in time. As a result, Zhao Zhu suffered heavy injuries and needed to be dealt with.
It's just that Zuo Liangyu failed to catch the two of them, and his behavior was rough, which inevitably made the two of them resentful.
"What does brother deserve? Why bother to offend General Zuo?" His younger brother Zhang Xianzhen consoled Zhang Xianbi with sincerity while applying medicine to him.
"What are you afraid of? He is just a 'butt seller', what is it worth for me to work for him?" Zhang Xianbi said unconvinced.
"The arm cannot twist the thigh. There is someone in the middle of the court. You are so arrogant. When they take a breath, they will inevitably kill both of you!" Zhang Xianzhen heard this and shook his head with a wry smile.
"You can't afford to hide if you can't offend us?" Zhang Xianbi couldn't help but sneered after hearing this, "If you don't want to keep me here, I have to keep you. I heard that King Shun was benevolent and righteous and recruited heroes from all over the world. If we are pressed, why don't we?
Vote for him?"
"What?" Zhang Xianzhen was shocked. She hurriedly went out to check around, then turned around and scolded in a low voice, "You are crazy! Are you going to ignore your parents and children at home?"
Zhang Xianbi finally woke up a little, and after a while he slowly said: "It depends on the situation. Who would be willing to be a thief unless they have no choice?"
"Yes, who would be willing to be a thief unless they had no choice?" At the same time that Zhang Xianbi lamented, Chai Shihua, the former Gansu commander-in-chief who was stationed in Ye County three hundred miles away from Sishui County, also expressed the same emotion.
After finishing speaking, Chai Shihua flicked the letter in his hand, turned around and asked, "Now that I am a general of Shunying, what does Eunuch Lu mean by this?"
The man in front of Chai Shihua had a fair face and beardless appearance, and his face looked quite gentle. He could only hear him whisper in a low voice: "My father-in-law said that General Chai has been loyal and good for generations and has received favors from the emperor. He must not be a thief sincerely. Therefore, please tell me, Your Majesty,
The punishment of the Chai family has been suspended."
"Now that the traitors are in danger, and their destruction is imminent, I hope General Chai will rein in his horse in time and turn around, so as not to make a mistake that will lead to eternal hatred!"
Chai Shihua was a general of the Chai family in Xining. His father Chai Guozhu, uncle Chai Guodong and brother Chai Shixiu all sacrificed their lives for the country. How can he be called a "loyalty from generation to generation".
Therefore, the words of the man in front of him were both soft and hard, and Chai Shihua couldn't help but ponder for a long time.
"A man is born in heaven and earth, how can he look down on Qin and Chu?" He didn't know how long it had passed before he couldn't help but sigh, "If the imperial court had treated me like this, why would it be like this?"
When the middle-aged man heard this, he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, with a half-smile on his face.
After hearing what Chai Shihua said, he didn't have much reaction. Instead, he walked back and forth slowly for a few steps, and then smiled and said: "Then the ships stranded outside Ye County City are the rewards given to General Chai by 'King Shun'"
?”
"What do you mean by that?" Chai Shihua's eyes widened when he heard this, and he stood up suddenly, pressing his head slightly, looking like a tiger ready to pounce.
As a result, the man seemed not to notice Chai Shihua's threat, and continued to respond in an orderly manner: "You know what I know, God knows, and earth knows. If you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing!"
"I heard that King Shun has always been benevolent and righteous, but he can't get sand out of his eyes!"
"If he knew what you were doing, how many heads would Mr. Chai have that he could chop off?"
"Not to mention, now the governor of Huguang, Xiong Wencan, is besieging the 'Ten Evil Generals' in Nanyang, the governor of water transportation and the governor of Fengyang, Zhu Dadian, is besieging Cao Bianjiao in Sishui, and the governor of the three sides, Liang Tingdong, has led 100,000 elite troops to besiege the 'shun thieves' in Bashang."
"The land where it is based, Heluo, seems to be as stable as Mount Tai, but in fact it is as dangerous as eggs. I wonder where General Chai will go?"
"This..." Chai Shihua hesitated for a moment when he heard the words, and then smiled and said, "Although Chai is incompetent, he is not a 'fool'. Just report back to Eunuch Lu!"
"Okay, then let's go and let General Chai think about it carefully!" The man smiled and Shi Shiran left.
As soon as the man left, people gathered around him and shouted: "General!"
"Tell me, what do you think?" Chai Shihua couldn't help but smile.
Suddenly, the meeting hall was as chaotic as a vegetable market. Some people said they wanted to leave, some said they wanted to stay, and everyone expressed their opinions.
After everyone had finished the discussion, someone finally remembered and asked, "What does the general think?"
"No matter who follows us, they can't defeat us!" Chai Shihua chuckled, "There are soldiers and generals these days, and he is the Grass-head King!"
What do you think?
It turns out that Zhu Dadian, the governor of water transportation and the governor of Fengyang, originally stayed in Runing and was guarded by Chen's general Luo Ju, Xuzhou's deputy general Ma Xu and eunuch Lu Jiude, to guard against the return of the rebel army and plunder Chongfan.
, I have never dared to use it easily.
When Zhang Sanbai made a surprise attack on Fengyang, Zhu Dadian, the governor of water transport and governor of Fengyang, rushed back to help, and then he remembered that there were three battalions of troops here.
He quickly dispatched soldiers with three hundred miles of urgent letters, ordering these three men to cooperate with the commander-in-chief Zuo Liangyu to attack Ruzhou.
Luo Ju, the commander-in-chief of Sui Chen, received the order and was about to act according to the plan. Unexpectedly, Ma Xu, the deputy commander-in-chief of Xuzhou, persuaded him and said: "Ruzhou and Sishui are more than a hundred miles apart, and there are thieves stationed in Yuzhou and Ye County respectively.
How can Xuzhou and other places be taken lightly?"
"Chai Shihua, the Chai clan of Xining, is now stationed in Ye County. This place connects the north and the south. It is the retreat route of the traitor "Ten Evil Generals" after Xiong Wencan, the governor of Huguang, captured Nanyang and the only way for the "shun thieves" to come to help."
"If we can seize this place, we can cut off the connection between the Nanyang thief and other thieves and make them dead."
"Secondly, it can also be used as the basis for attacking Ruzhou. You can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat!"
This Ma Xu was none other than the son of the Ma family, a general of the Ming Dynasty.
His grandfather was the famous general Ma Fang, and his father was the famous general Ma Lin. All five of his brothers died in state affairs, and now only one of them is alive.
Although Ma Xu was not as good as his grandfather, father and others, he was also familiar with military literature since he was a child. His suggestions did not dare to be ignored by General Chen Sui and Luo Ju.
"I wonder what Eunuch Lu thinks?" Luo Ju thought for a while, then turned around and asked.
"Good!" Although Lu Jiude was a eunuch, he was not a supervisor, but a serious general who led the elite troops in the capital.
He has a high status and can directly reach the heaven. Because of his low position and power, no one dares to offend him easily.
But after hearing this, Lu Jiude laughed again and said: "In this matter, the top priority is to attack the heart, and the bottom priority is to attack the city!"
"Chai Shihua is a general in Xining. He has been favored by the emperor. How can he easily become a thief?"
"We only need to attack to promote surrender, and we can fight and pull. Maybe we can take this city easily without any effort, and we can get one more general!"
