Chapter 166 The tiger dies
Zhang Jack couldn't help but be impatient.
Although Shi Bin was defeated, Shi Zun used the name of Ping thief and the name of general to recruit armies from all over the north and south of the river. The Black Cloud thief was still alive and kicking, but his strength was getting stronger and stronger.
Zhang Jack didn't know whether he could defeat the black cloud thief, but he knew that once Shi Zun's wings were full, he would definitely return to Yedu!
In front of Shi Hu's bedside, Zhang Jack unscrupulously stayed in the same room with Empress Liu, "Shi Bin was defeated by the black cloud thief, and 30,000 troops were wiped out. The immediate plan is to appease King Pengcheng, King Yiyang and other clans.
Preserve the crown prince’s position.”
Although Mrs. Liu is over thirty years old, she is like a ripe peach, plump and sweet. It is no wonder that she came from behind and won Shi Hu's exclusive favor.
"I am just a female, and I don't know the important affairs of the country. However, the prince is young, and all the kings are not good people. Except the general, no one can rely on me."
While talking, he was also crying, and the pear blossoms were raining, which made people even more pitiful.
At the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, Zhang Zhen and Guangping people Youlun supported tens of thousands of people and attached themselves to Wang Jun of Youzhou. Wang Jun was defeated and surrendered to Shile as a matter of course. Later, he threw stones at tigers and wandered in these troubled times for decades. Until now,
I am already over sixty and have little interest in women anymore.
No matter how touching Ms. Liu cried, it could not move his heartstrings at all. All he cared about was power.
"Queen, don't worry. With my ministers here, the prince will be safe!"
"This will help General!" Seeing that crying was of no use to Zhang Jack, Mrs. Liu wiped away her tears.
The trace of ambiguity in the palace suddenly disappeared.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and I are one, so how can we talk about whether we work or not? I am loyal to His Highness, but not others!" Zhang Jack's eyes flashed.
There are not many people who hold official positions in Yecheng anymore.
Mrs. Liu's eyebrows furrowed. The prince and him were one. This statement had already exposed her thoughts, but now she could only use Zhang Jie's words.
The other princes who were in charge of the town had military power in their hands, but the prince had nothing in his hands...
"Queen, General, Zhang Hujun is back." The maid's voice came from outside the palace.
"Oh, my second brother is back so soon, there must be good news!" Zhang Jack said with joy on his face.
Mrs. Liu had no choice but to stand up and retreat behind the scenes.
Not long after, Zhang Xiong entered, "The Black Cloud bandits only agreed to hold back the army of King Pengcheng, but they asked for the governor of Yanzhou."
Zhang Jack seemed to have expected it and did not find it strange. "Most of Yanzhou is in his hands. It is natural for him to be the governor of Yanzhou. Shi Bin is still alive?"
The center of gravity of Jie-Zhao's rule was in Hebei. After more than 20 years of ravage by Shihu, the states south of the river were no longer important places for money and food during the Han and Wei dynasties. Instead, they became buffer areas between Jie-Zhao and Jiangdong.
Compared to Shi Bin, Shi Zun was like a stick in his throat, but Black Cloud Mountain didn't pose much of a threat.
At least there is no threat to the current Zhang Jack, and it is clear at a glance which one is more serious.
"Yes." Zhang Xiong answered honestly.
"From what you can see, can the Black Cloud Army be used by me?" Zhang Jack's face was full of expectation.
The Heiyun Army first fought against Liang Du and then defeated Shi Bin. Their fame spread throughout the world and had already aroused the covetousness of all forces. If they could be taken under their command and used as minions, what would Shi Zun, Shi Jian and other clans have to fear?
"I'm afraid I can't. Li Yue is not as harmful as Liang Du, but he is more cunning. If he is not careful, he will definitely backfire!" Zhang Xiong said truthfully.
Zhang Jack sighed, "It's a pity that we are all Han, but we can't use it to my advantage. The Central Plains is a land of hundreds of battles. I will bear the brunt of the Jiangdongbei Expedition in the future. By then, I will have the powerful troops in Hebei. If they are unwilling to surrender to me, I will destroy them at my fingertips."
.”
Zhang Xiong thought of what Chen Liu had seen and heard, and was not optimistic. But seeing that Zhang Jack was in high spirits, he couldn't bear to expose it, "King Pengcheng used the name of a thief to conquer the armies of the north and south, which is a serious problem!"
Zhang Jack frowned, "Shi Zun is a scribe, and even if there are a hundred thousand people under his command, there is nothing to fear. Shi Bin has won the hearts of the people of the country, and we cannot let him survive!"
In the first two months, more than 200 Longteng lieutenants broke into Linxi Pavilion and asked Shi Hu to quickly transfer Shi Bin back to Ye to guard the guards and command troops and horses. Some even directly requested that Shi Bin be canonized as the prince.
Shi Hu was still sober at that time, so he directly ordered the eunuchs in the palace to greet him with chariots and pay him seals and ribbons.
Zhang Jack spent a lot of energy to calm the matter down.
This shows Shi Bin's status in the hearts of Jie people. Once he returns to Yecheng, there will be nothing wrong with Zhang Jack.
"It is said that Guangzong's begging army is all under the command of King Pengcheng, brother, you must be on guard!"
"The old thief Li Nong has his head on both sides. One foot is on Shi Zun's boat, and the other is on the Prince's boat. Whoever wins or loses, he won't suffer. It's a good plan. If time passes, Shi Zun will go north, he will be inside, and Shi Min will be outside.
, when the inside and outside are coordinated, your brother and I will die without a burial place, so we should get rid of them as soon as possible!" Zhang Jack said through gritted teeth.
Shi Min led the Northern Beggar Army to throw Shi Zun at him. In his opinion, it was naturally Li Nong's order.
It was okay for Li Nong not to help him, but he even united with outsiders to deal with him, which made Zhang Jack hate him greatly.
"Bold!" At this moment, there was a sudden shout in the palace.
The two brothers were startled when they saw Shi Hu sitting up on the hospital bed, his eyes as wide as bells, looking straight at the two brothers with murderous intent on his face.
The hair on both brothers' bodies stood on end.
Shi Hu had been cruel and violent for more than twenty years, and had caused countless murders, all of which turned into the billowing evil energy on his body.
The two of them didn't even have the intention to resist.
"Bold!" Shi Hu pointed at the two of them. His whole face turned bright red and trembled non-stop. His big eyes also turned blood red and were about to burst out.
The huge and fat body is like a coiling python.
Zhang Jackal and Zhang Xiong were lying on the ground, trembling like sheep.
Mrs. Liu behind the curtain was so frightened that she fell to her knees with a thud, "Your Majesty, forgive me, forgive me..."
"Bold..." Shi Hu's voice became smaller and smaller.
Zhang Jack raised his eyes cautiously, only to see Shi Hu's eyes bleeding. He was still sitting, but his hands were hanging down weakly.
Even though the tiger is dead, its power is still there.
The stone tiger is many times more powerful than the ferocious tiger.
Zhang Jack glanced at it and then fell down. The hall suddenly became extremely quiet.
It wasn't until Mrs. Liu staggered up to Shi Hu, stretched out her hand to breathe, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has passed away!"
The Zhang brothers got up from the ground, their faces already covered with cold sweat.
After staring at Shi Hu for a long time, he was sure that he was really dead. Immediately, Zhang Jack could not suppress the look of ecstasy on his face. Apart from Li Nong, he was the most powerful person in Ye City.
The jade seal has long been in his possession.
"Queen... I'm sorry. As long as I have my ministers around, there is no need to panic. The top priority is Li Nong. Li Nong throws stones at his subordinates and must be eliminated!" Zhang Jack had completely forgotten that he was so frightened that he shivered under the lingering power of the stone tiger.
The three people in the palace all looked happy, and no one was sad.
Mrs. Liu nodded slowly, and immediately took out the sealing ribbon, yellow silk, and pen and ink, which Zhang Jack still filled in.
Naturally, Zhang Jack was not polite. He wrote down the Taibao, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese and foreign military affairs, recorded the affairs of the ministers, and added thousands of soldiers and hundreds of cavalry to protect the left and right, just like the old affairs of Huo Guang in the Han Dynasty.
On April 23, the first year of Jie Zhao Taining's reign, Shi Hu died.
