Chapter 737
Zhu Yihei was a general of the auxiliary state in the Xiangyang Royal Palace system. He was also a very good member. After the royal palace was captured, he was also unlucky and became a prisoner at the ranks.
Zhu Yixiao was extremely frightened. In normal times, he was proud and glorious for his bloodline and identity. With this bloodline, he could have things that others could not have in his life when he was born, and would never have to work. He just waited to enjoy wealth and glory. Who knew that such a shocking change had happened.
These people in the royal family are usually superior and have a very respectful status, but if they fall into the hands of a rebel, it will be a dead end. Zhang Xianzhong once captured Fengyang, Zhongdu, and killed all of them, such as the phoenix and dragon grandsons. The Chinese army captured Jinan and Jining, and also captured Defan and Lufan. People in the royal family were better than death.
In a chaotic world, these phoenixes and dragons are like grass. No matter which villain falls into the hands of any villain, they will be executed.
This time, Xiangyang City was captured, and they were all arrested and imprisoned quickly. Zhu Yihe was proud of his death. Who knew that the other party chose him as the negotiator and went to negotiate.
The other party's general Li Dingguo promised him that if the two sides could reach an agreement, they could protect him from his life and return his property.
With these promises, Zhu Yihemu was very excited. He thought, I am afraid that only I can do this.
When he came to the Ming army with the envoy's ceremonial guards to meet Zhu Xieyuan, the other party's negligence made him very unhappy. I am the dignified general of the auxiliary country, the second son of the King of Yicheng. You, a little Zhu Xieyuan, dared to sit in the camp and not come out to greet him in person. This is a great crime of disrespect.
If it were normal times, he would definitely pursue the other party's great disrespect. But now it is a time of chaos. Zhu Xieyuan tied the military talisman with his hands and had an army of 100,000. This was the key to his ability to reach this time, so he could only humble himself and wait outside the military camp.
However, Zhu Yixiu was still angry. If he wanted to wait for this matter, he would definitely beat Zhu Xieyuan up and let him know the consequences of neglecting the royal family.
After waiting for a long time, they did not wait for Zhu Xieyuan to come. Instead, the officer who had just arrived to receive him came out. The other party called himself the deputy general of Zhu Xieyuan, Li Gang. This time the attitude was very different, and he seemed very serious and respectful. He saluted Zhu Yihe, and then said, "The General of the State Council asked the General to give a speech."
This time, Zhu Yixie was really unhappy. At first, Zhu Xieyuan didn't come out to greet him in person because he didn't know that he was coming. It was understandable. Since he had already revealed his name, he still didn't come to greet him. Isn't this aura too big?
Zhu Yixiao snorted coldly, and he said, "Why didn't Zhu Xieyuan come in person? Could it be that his leg was injured?"
Li Gang laughed dryly, and he said, "Of course not. The general set up a banquet in the camp to welcome the general."
Zhu Yixiao was trapped in prison and was always in a hungry stage. In the past, he was tired of eating delicacies and seafood. He had to change his ways and find ways to make strange things to eat. However, it would be good to have a steamed bun for him in prison. He had to grab a steamed bun, and he had to share it with him. He had been so hungry that he had been so hungry.
Hearing that the other party had set up a banquet in the camp to welcome him, he made him happy. He said, "It's up to him to know the face!"
A cold light flashed in Li Gang's eyes and he said, "Please, General of the Sui Kingdom!" He led him to the side of the military camp.
Zhu Yixie was unhappy again, and he said, "Shouldn't Zhu Xieyuan's central army camp be in the central army? What does it mean to walk to the side? Is it shameful to ask this general to go to the side door?"
Li Gang suppressed the anger in his heart and said with a smile: "Of course not. The general is strict in governing the army and does not allow drinking in the camp. This is a military order, so it is different in the back camp."
As soon as the other party explained, Zhu Yixiao reluctantly believed it, but he was very unhappy about Zhu Xieyuan's disrespect and rudeness.
When their team of people walked to a remote place, Li Gang saw that there was no one on the left and right, so he winked at his subordinates. His subordinates had already received a hint. At this time, the superiors ordered, took out a knife without hesitation, covered Zhu Yixia's mouth, and stabbed him in the stomach several times.
Zhu Yixiu couldn't even scream. After struggling for a few times, he died.
Without giving instructions, Li Gang's men immediately found a hoe, dug a hole, and buried Zhu Yihe, the general of the auxiliary country.
Zhu Xieyuan understood one thing: if he ignored the life and death of these royal relatives, he would definitely be impeached by the censor and impeached by the censor, but if he refused to know, this would achieve the effect of the ignorant being unintentional.
In this way, he would no longer have to be afraid of his actions because of this matter.
But he also understood that with the other party's treacherousness, the other party could not let him go easily, and he would definitely continue to have a second move. Then, now he can delay for a while and count for a while.
After Zhu Xieyuan secretly ordered people to execute the General Zhu Yihe, the army ordered to continue to advance and prepare to encircle Xiangyang City.
At the same time, they also ordered a large amount of siege equipment to be drawn from nearby cities.
Since Xiangyang City is already prepared and the opponent is ready, it is impossible for them to take down Xiangyang City without siege equipment.
When military soldiers use military forces, what they don’t like most is siege, but when they reach this point, they have no choice but to do so.
While Zhu Xieyuan secretly asked the General Zhu Yihe, the auxiliary country, to kill Zhu Yihe, he ordered his army to divide his troops into several groups and pounce on Xiangyang City, surrounding the city.
Li Dingguo must have had more than once. After sending Zhu Yihe, he sent more people from the royal family to persuade surrender or negotiate peace. He knew that this was useless, but even if it could delay time, even if it was useful, even if it could not delay time, it could still cause hatred for the commander of the Ming army.
Regardless of the life or death of these people, even if he takes Xiangyang City, he will likely be settled by someone after the fall.
Zhu Xieyuan is a real ruthless man. I will kill as much as you send him. Anyway, he does it quietly and engages in a low-key manner, and no one knows what he does.
The royal relatives of the Xiangyang Palace never expected that they would die in an unknown place in a quiet place, and at the hands of their own people.
Since Zhu Xieyuan knew that Xiangyang City was ready, he ordered the army to divide into several groups to encircle them, and the four famous generals under him were each responsible for the whole route.
At this time, the shortcomings of their rapid use of troops also emerged. This disadvantage is that they sent troops very quickly and did not bring any food and grass. Now the army is quite short of food. Although there is a large amount of food and grass in Yiling City, they cannot come for the time being and have no choice but to order to raise food on the spot.
They ordered the county magistrates of several counties near Xiangyang City to order them to pay grain to the army.
Xiangyang Prefecture is a large prefecture city with one prefecture and seven prefectures under its jurisdiction. The Chinese army only controls it. Like other nearby counties, there is still no way to control it. This is still within the sphere of influence of the Ming army. Zhu Xieyuan had no choice but to order the army to assign levies to these local officials.
Zhu Xieyuan had full power to pacify the thieves because the emperor had granted him all rights and could order the convening of troops, food and grass, etc. To put it bluntly, as long as he could win a battle, he could do whatever he wanted.
This makes the officials in these places miserable.
The Chinese army was unable to control these places, but they all sent envoys to warn the county magistrates of these places.
If they didn't raise the banner early and surrender to the Chinese Empire, and wait for them to pull out their hands, they would destroy these people.
Zhu Xieyuan also issued orders and issued orders to all surrounding counties. If they collude with Chinese thieves, they will be killed without any hesitation.
This makes these officials in a dilemma, suffering, and the world is difficult, so how can they achieve both ways?
What's even more painful is that these ordinary people are in the war zone, and the forces of both sides are intertwined. You have me and I have you. Although the Chinese army does not collect taxes and is not violent, they have a bottom line, which is that you must surrender to them. If you dare not surrender or have two sides, they will still send troops to burn your house and expel it from here.
The people of this era pay attention to the fact that they are difficult to leave their hometowns and their hometowns are inferior. If they are not absolutely necessary, they will never leave their hometowns where they were born and raised. Therefore, being expelled from here is considered the most severe punishment.
Is this considered miserable? This is not miserable for the official army. If the official army knows that you are actually hooking up with the Chinese army, this is a thief, this is a death sentence, and if you are caught, your home will be searched and executed.
This really makes these ordinary people suffer and live a passionate life.
Because Zhu Xieyuan advanced too quickly and could not follow up on the food and grass, he coldly ordered: "My general's soldiers can only be killed in battle, not starved to death. What should I do if I ask for food? I am responsible for it."
The generals said in unison: "Here!"
Zhu Xieyuan had been in charge of the army for more than ten years and had never done this. However, in order to capture Xiangyang and defeat the Chinese thieves, he did not care about anything.
Zhu Xieyuan was an official, and his reputation was very good. He always loved the people as his son. Whether he was an official in Suzhou or Sichuan, his reputation was very good. The people were grateful to him and believed that having such a good official was a blessing for decades.
However, since he took charge of the troops and suppressed the Chinese army, he has always been cruel and ruthless, which is called "Love in charge of the troops".
Zhu Xieyuan was so cruel because he understood that the Chinese thief was the most fierce thief in the Ming Dynasty in the past two hundred years. He was even more cruel and powerful than An Lushan and Shi Siming in the Tang Dynasty. If he did not suppress it, the Ming Dynasty would be destroyed.
