Volume 1: Rectifying the Chao Gang Chapter 43 Zhifu Tong Yu(1/2)
In the Liaoyang Mansion, Governor Xu Guan summoned the generals. He did not show off and directly explained to the generals that he wanted to get rid of Tong Yu, a troublesome person today.
All the generals were shocked when they heard this, and they all warned: "Taitai, the surname Tong is my surname in Liaodong. Although Tong Yu's ancestors were Jurchens, they have been Hanized later. The Tong family has deep roots in Liaodong, even in Liaodong."
Casting a net, all the people caught are promoted by the Tong family. Moreover, the Tong surname has been in the army for generations, and there are people at all levels in the army. They are intertwined and powerful, and it is extremely difficult to deal with them. If Taiwan and Tai today
If you act rashly, you may not only be trying to draw water from a bamboo basket but in vain, you may also get into trouble!"
Xu Guan said seriously: "Tong Yu has been troubled by Liaodong for a long time. I have made up my mind. Today, even if the tiger comes, I will pull out a tooth from the corner of his mouth!"
When guard Huo Si heard this, he was thinking about how to report the news to Tong Yu. After all, Tong Yu treated him well and was kind to him.
At this moment, Xu Guan planned to send someone out of the city. Huo Si volunteered and said, "General, I am willing to go out for Taitai."
When the generals saw that it was Huo Si, they knew what Huo Si was thinking, but they didn't say it out loud. They all lowered their heads and pretended to turn a blind eye. They also knew that capturing and killing Tong Yu was a troublesome matter. If it was not done well, Liaodong was afraid
It's about to change.
However, Huo Si and the generals never expected that Li Gao, the usually weak commander who had no prestige, would dare to go to Xu Guan behind Tong Yu's back. They saw him whispering a few words in Xu Guan's ear,
Xu Guan's expression suddenly changed. He shouted: "Come here, capture Huo Si and take him to the backyard first. No one can let him go without my general's order!"
Huo Si was shocked and shouted: "The last general will know the crime...The last general will know the crime..."
After Huo Si was dragged away by the sergeants, the generals knew that if they didn't side with Xu Guan today, they might not be able to leave the Liaoyang Mansion. There were also some generals in Liaodong who couldn't stand Tong Yu's usual mischief and arrogance.
, but they had always been afraid of the power of the Tong family, and now seeing Xu Guan's tough tactics, they all gained confidence again.
Xu Guan clapped his hands and saw two soldiers coming up carrying a plate with two large jars of wine.
Xu Guan directly pulled out the sword hanging from his waist, and lightly touched his left hand, and blood flowed into the bowl. Seeing this, the generals had no choice but to follow suit and drip blood into the bowl.
Xu Guan took the big bowl, sprinkled a little on the ground, raised the bowl and took a sip, then handed it to the soldiers next to him, and everyone else drank in turn.
Xu Guan was about to speak when he suddenly saw a soldier running up in a hurry, bowing and saying: "General, General Tong Yu has arrived in Liaoyang City."
"How many people are here?" Commander-in-Chief Li Gao still asked worriedly.
"General, I estimate there are about five thousand."
"Okay, well done!" Xu Guan threw the big bowl in his hand to the ground. He only heard a "dang" sound and it shattered into pieces. He raised his sword and shouted: "This is a military order:
In front of the hall, a group of Liaodong generals have taken full authority to capture the powerful traitor Tong Yu. Everyone who is rebellious and traitorous will be killed. Anyone who resists the military order will be killed on the spot!"
The generals know that today is an arrow, and they have to take action. They must choose to stand in line. This kind of selective issue, everyone must not have to think about it. They choose Xu Guan. After all, he is the governor of Liaodong appointed by the emperor. Jun is also the right deputy.
The censor of the capital is not only responsible for military defense, but also civil affairs. He is the highest chief executive in Liaodong. You can't go against Xu Guan, who represents the imperial court, just for a mere general, right?
Upon seeing this, the generals came out and replied in unison: "We will obey the military orders of Taiwan and Taiwan."
In the tense atmosphere, all the generals went to the school grounds to order their troops and prepared to go separately. Xu Guan and Li Gao went to the lobby.
The murderous city of Liaoyang ushered in the rising sun. General Tong Yu and others had just arrived outside the city gate. The gate guard Lu Chang signaled them to dismount and walk into the city.
Tong Yu was immediately unhappy when he heard this, and shouted towards the city wall: "Who did I think was helping to defend today, but it turns out to be you! Open your dog eyes and see who is coming below!"
Lü Chang shouted: "I am following the military order of the governor, please dismount your horse and walk into the city!"
Tong Yu was furious and cursed: "Bullshit, I won't hold this meeting!"
Tong Yu was about to turn his horse around when he was stopped by his confidant Yong Xing. He said: "General, no, since we have arrived in Liaoyang, there is no reason not to enter the city. From their point of view, what Lu Chang said is not unreasonable.
We have led our men and horses close to the first guard, and the general’s current military position is no longer consistent with common sense. Just dismount, if the general is worried, you can ask Ru Dun to lead a few hundred people to follow you into the city, and I will wait outside the city to meet the general."
Upon hearing this, Tong Yu had no choice but to dismount and led another confidant named Ru Dun and hundreds of soldiers into the city. Before entering the city gate, he did not forget to point his riding whip at Chang Lu and scold him.
When they first entered Liaoyang City, they saw a quiet street, with soldiers running back and forth on the east and west ends. Tong Yu was a little suspicious and asked: "Are you mobilizing troops from the east and west campuses? Yongxing, you sent people to guard Huosi.
, go to Bian Tuo’s house and see what they are busy with.”
Tong Yu watched as more and more soldiers began to rush towards the four gates of the east, west, north and south. He was still a little uneasy. He grabbed a soldier who had fallen behind and asked, "I ask you, what are you doing?"
The soldier said in a panic: "Back to the general, the governor is afraid that the Jurchens will invade, so he ordered all the schools to strengthen their defense."
"I know, get out!"
After receiving this news, Tong Yu and Yong Xing immediately felt a lot relieved. Maybe they were overthinking it. Tong Yu turned around and said to Yong Xing with a smile: "People outside say that this Xu Guan is some kind of blacksmith Xu, but now it seems that he is nothing more than a blacksmith."
It's just an embroidered pillow. What's so scary about the Jurchens? A mere small tribe can scare him like this. What big things can a governor like this do?"
Yong Xing laughed and said: "Who is that Xu Guan? He is worthy of being the governor of Liaodong. From my perspective, you are the only one who can be called a "hero" in Liaodong, so you should be the governor!"
When Tong Yu heard this, he laughed loudly, and no longer had any doubts, and continued to move forward. He was about to arrive at the house of General Li Gao, when a horse rushed past him. The man shouted on the horse: "General Tong, please give me the courtesy of General Tong."
With this order, please ask the general to move to the lobby to discuss matters."
Tong Yu's heart tightened again, and he asked urgently: "Didn't the Commander-in-Chief say that the matter was discussed in his house? Why did it suddenly change to the lobby? Have the other generals gone to guard?"
The man said: "Because some trivial matters are inconvenient to discuss, the General Military Mansion has been temporarily changed into a meeting hall. The other generals have already gone. The General General has specially ordered me to inform the general that if you don't come, the meeting will not be held. Everyone
Everyone in the hall is waiting for you."
So that’s it. Tong Yu’s tight nerves relaxed a little, and he strolled up to Yong Xing and asked, “Is it a little abnormal?”
Yong Xing was a little panicked at the moment. Although he wanted to back off, he didn't dare to say it out loud. He knew Tong Yu's temper. If he said it out loud, Tong Yu would be so angry that he might scold himself and no longer trust him. So Ru
Dun was able to ride on his head. Thinking of this, Yongxing forced himself to calm down and said: "If the general is worried, you can wait here. It won't be too late to set off after we send Huo Si and Bian Tuo's people back."
Tong Yu felt a little complicated at the moment. On the one hand, he heard that everyone in the lobby was waiting for him, and if he didn't arrive, he would not attend the meeting. He felt a little proud, which showed that he was also very prestigious in Liaodong. On the other hand, he was not sure about his position in Liaoyang.
Did any of your confidants also go to the lobby today?
After waiting for a long time, Tong Yu stood a little tired and cursed: "This Li Gao, why doesn't he let me ride into the city for no reason? I have to ask him what he means when I go! I won't wait any longer.
, let’s go first!”
Tong Yu and others walked to the hall and saw hundreds of soldiers outside the hall, neatly dressed and waiting for orders. The leader was Yuan Guang, the general of Liaodong. Yuan Guang had always been brave and had many military exploits. He was among the generals of Liaodong.
It's also very important. If you don't go into the lobby for a meeting right now, what are you doing outside this door?
Tong Yu stepped forward and asked with a smile: "Brother Yuan, why don't you enter the lobby for a meeting? Why are you hanging around this door?"
When Yuan Guang saw that it was Tong Yu who was here, he said with a smile: "Hey, Brother Tong doesn't know something, and I'm also very puzzled! The commander-in-chief said that there is a Jurchen undercover lurking in the city, and he asked me to arrest and patrol in the city!"
Tong Yu asked: "With Brother Yuan's military exploits, he doesn't even sit down in the lobby to do such a thing. What do you think, Commander-in-Chief!"
"Hey, being a high-ranking official can overwhelm others. Please invite Brother Tong to enter the meeting. I will go on patrol first!"
After hearing what Yuan Guang said, Tong Yu felt a little happy. It seemed that his status was higher than that of Yuan Guang! He could enter the lobby for meetings, but Yuan Guang was doing patrolling.
At this moment, another guard walked out of the lobby. Tong Yu looked and saw guard Yan Chun coming out with a smile on his face and said: "Brother Tong is finally here! The general is a little anxious to wait, so he asked me to come back and have a look.
ah!"
"I'm here!" Tong Yu said as he walked straight in. Behind him, Yongxing saw that Tong Yu had already stepped into the lobby with one foot. He stood up and wanted to go in, but the guard at the door gave him a cold look and opened his eyes.
Stop it with your hands.
"Where are you going?"
"Follow my master into the lobby to meet the commander-in-chief!"
"Do you have any personal orders from the commander-in-chief?"
"No."
"That won't work. You can't wait to enter the hall without the commander-in-chief's personal order!" Yong Xing's eyes widened after saying this. In the past, he often followed Tong Yu into the lobby for meetings, and he had never heard that he could only enter the hall without the commander-in-chief's personal order.
, what happened today?
Yong Xing thought about it and became more and more panicked. He shouted quickly to make Tong Yu stay, but unexpectedly, Tong Yuxiang followed Yan Chun into the lobby and did not hear his shouts at all.
There was another sudden sound, and the door of the lobby was closed. The door shackles jangled for a while, and then the guard at the door sneered and clicked the latch, then kicked and kicked.
Yong Xing shouted: "No, we've been ambushed!" Yuan Guangfu, who had just left, came back with his people, and the number of people was already several times that of before, and he was surrounded in an instant.
Yuan Guang said coldly: "Little thief, put down your weapon and I will spare you the chance to die!"
Yong Xing said with a cold face: "You are so brave! Do you know who I am? I am General Tong's confidant. You can try to lay a finger on me today!"
Yuan Guang sneered, and with a wave of his hand, many archers came out from both sides, drawing their bows and stringing them and aiming at them.
Tong Yu swaggered into the hall, but saw that there was no one on the chairs on the left and right, and the chief military officer Li Gao and a man who looked like a civil servant were sitting in the hall, with stern expressions, not angry or intimidating.
When Tong Yu turned around again, he saw that the door of the lobby was closed tightly, and he shouted in his heart: "Oops, I was in a hurry to enter the hall, and I forgot that Yongxing was blocked outside the hall, so he didn't come in with him!"
Tong Yu's pace suddenly slowed down a lot, but when he saw that there were only Li Gao and the man who looked like a civil servant, his heart dropped.
Li Gao saw that Tong Yu was no longer as arrogant as before. Although he did not dare to look down upon him, he could not help but sneer.
The man who looked like a civil servant was the first to speak: "I am the governor of Liaodong and the right deputy censor. Tong Yu, do you know your guilt?"
The lobby was extremely quiet at this time. Xu Guan's sudden question was like a thunderbolt in the sky, causing Tong Yu's ear drums to buzz for a long time. He suddenly picked up his head and saw Xu Guan sitting high on the chair, holding a sword in his hand, his eyes burning
He stared at himself. He hesitated for a moment, and immediately replied: "What crime am I guilty of?" As he spoke, he clapped his hands lightly, straightened his back calmly, and looked at Xu Guan with a sideways gaze and a raised face.
.
"On June 22, the 23rd month of Chenghua, in your divided defense area, more than a thousand Tatar bandits entered and plundered, plundered people and animals, shot and wounded 299 of our officers and soldiers, and robbed war horses.
Sixty-two horses. Since you have received the warning, why are you holding back and refusing to advance? On March 15, the first year of Hongzhi, you used coercion, exchange, invasion, fishing and other means to privately occupy farmland. On April 28,
, how dare you hire private soldiers as your domestic slaves. On May 7th, you robbed Zhao Zhu's sister, brought her back to the house and humiliated her, and then killed her afterwards...can you admit it?" Xu Guan said coldly.
"What evidence do you have?"
