Six hundred and seventy second chapter father feud
Chapter 672: Father’s Revenge
Chu Xiangcheng was quite emotional, and said to Xuanji beside him who had just returned to Tiandu Shengjing: "Oh, we are all old. Now it belongs to all of us, and the future belongs to you, but in the future, it is destined to be their two grandsons
of."
Xuanji frowned, why did this sentence sound a bit weird? He Yu also heard the taste, frowned, and scolded Chu Xiangcheng, which made Chu Xiangcheng very confused.
Luo Xiang's brows also wrinkled. In theory, this surrender ceremony was quite grand and formal. The surrender of the Zhang family in Huaishui marked the homeland of the entire Qingfeng Empire. Except for the four southern Yunnan tribes who had never returned to the royal family, all the others had
Falling into the hands of the Hetao was regarded as a symbol of the Hetao's unification of the country. However, after being tossed around by everyone, the solemn atmosphere was gone. However, he did not feel comfortable speaking clearly to the two Hao Jin brothers and his wife, so he simply cheered up and continued with a long drink.
, and then everyone was called back.
Haotian came back to his senses and didn't bother to pay attention to the lowering watch in Hao Jin's hand. This thing was just a formality. He coughed and first came with a long-sounding diplomatic rhetoric. He was not just talking about his dry mouth.
, even Xian Lianchen and others behind him were drowsy.
Haotian glanced at Qiu Mu dissatisfied, but found that Qiu Mu had a sly smile on his lips. He snorted, and after two more sticks of incense, he came up with a summary of more than 2,000 words about this matter.
That's when it came to an end.
This speech was written by Qiu Mu, but Qiu Mu didn't know whether it was out of intentional torture or a childish innocence, but it was extremely long. Haotian had just picked up the manuscript, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and read it.
Go down.
"Now, the Huaishui army has been reorganized into a legion with a strength of 100,000 people. It is still known as the Yellow Turban. The legion commander is the old general Zhang Keliang. The post of Huaishui prefect is temporarily held by Zhang Cangwu..."
Zhang Cangwu's lips curved into a smile, and he knew that he had made the right bet. After all, Hetao still remembered his past kindness. Although Huai Shui had made a big mistake, Haotian was Haotian after all, tough, iron-blooded, and clear about grudges and grudges.
, A meal of kindness must be repaid, and a grudge must be repaid. Although the Zhang family has a mortal sin, the Zhang family has a great debt to Hetao after all, not only to Haotian, but also to the more than 10 million people in Hetao
The people are kind. Haotian will never forget this kindness.
Therefore, although Haotian wanted to kill himself and others, Haotian had to repay the favor he owed. Therefore, Haotian killed tens of thousands of soldiers including Zhang Huayang, but left himself and others behind.
's life.
Hetao hopes to hand over their father, son and others to Zhang Yuewan. However, Zhang Yuewan is far away in Dongbo. By the time she returns, she will have already been named a court official by Haotian. If Zhang Yuewan wants to kill herself to avenge her father,
Then the first thing she has to face is Haotian, killing the imperial officials. This is not a purely internal matter within the family.
Zhang Jishi also had a smile on his lips. He knew that his father and son had escaped this time. The Huai River was still the Huai River, the Zhang family's Huai River, and their father and son's Huai River. The only thing that had changed was the family's 20-year-old son.
The 50,000-strong army was condensed into one legion, but that doesn't matter. As long as the people are still there, the foundation of Huai River will still be there.
"After Hetao pacifies the south of the river, we will definitely launch an expedition outside the Great Wall. When all the elites are out, the Huai River will still be our Zhang family's world. Huh, the Bliss Holy Sect and the Song and Li families are all over. Now south of the river, only
We Zhang family and Ouyang Jingzhong are left." The more Zhang Jishi thought about it, the happier he became. This former son of Huaishui, who was not very talented and ambitious but thought he was extremely smart, began to think wildly again.
"Perhaps this is really an opportunity, an opportunity for our Zhang family to become the world leader."
"Wait a minute!"
At this moment, a loud shout suddenly sounded. Before the words could be spoken, a long neigh of a war horse was heard. A horse appeared in everyone's eyes, and immediately it was a woman in flying white clothes.
The war horse rushed directly along the avenue, but when it was about to approach Haotian and others, the woman suddenly lifted the reins, the front legs of the war horse flew into the air, and there was another long hiss. The woman had already turned over from the war horse and fell down, with a clean half-stroke.
Kneeling down, the woman clasped her fists and said to Haotian, who looked surprised: "Husband, I am rude. However, I have to avenge my father's murder. Please forgive me."
Haotian is not a stickler for trivial matters, and he is even more indulgent towards his wife as long as it is within the scope of principles. And now he is also overflowing with the surprise of Zhang Yuewan's sudden return, so he said with a smile: "Well, don't do this next time
That’s reckless.”
"Husband, I was reckless, but it happened for a reason. Zhang Cangwu and his son ignored their family ties and murdered my father with despicable means. How can I not avenge my father's murder?" Zhang Yuewan said in a deep voice.
Zhang Cangwu, Zhang Jishi and others looked at each other and saw the fear in each other's eyes. Zhang Yuewan was decisive in killing, very much like his father, and now he rushed back in a hurry, obviously for his own sake.
People are still holding on to some luck, but now it seems that Zhang Yuewan is really planning to kill herself and others.
Luo Xiang took a step forward and said solemnly: "I wonder how the mistress is going to handle this matter?"
"How can I not avenge the murder of my father? Since Zhang Cangwu ignores blood and family ties, then I will naturally have to pay with blood!"
"Yue Wan, we had no intention of assassinating Brother Wang at the beginning. Brother Wang and I were born from the same mother and have always had a good relationship. How could I kill him for my own selfish gain? It was just because Brother Wang was too stubborn at the time, so some things happened.
Unexpected." Zhang Cangwu said in a low voice.
Zhang Yuewan snorted coldly: "No matter how much your tongue blooms, you can't wash away your guilt! Murder must be punished with life. It's a matter of course."
Haotian was very hesitant. The timing of Zhang Yuewan's appearance was too coincidental.
If it had appeared earlier, there would not have been such a surrender ceremony at all, and Haotian would have handed over Zhang Cangwu and his son to Zhang Yuewan without hesitation. If it had been later, then the surrender ceremony would have been completed, and Zhang Cangwu as
The Huaishui governor appointed by Haotian himself was not guilty of a mortal sin. Even Zhang Yuewan, as the mistress, could not kill him. However, Zhang Yuewan appeared at this time, and Haotian was in a bit of a dilemma.
Seeing that Haotian was very hesitant, Chu Xiangcheng took a step forward and said: "Mother, blood fratricide is a great tragedy in the world. Zhang Cangwu and your father were born from the same mother, and their fratricide is no longer appropriate.
It's rare for him to change his ways now, so why not give him a chance? Besides, you are also your uncle after all."
Zhang Keliang's expression remained unchanged. Although he was involved in the affairs of Zhang Cangwu and his son, he was not the one who directly took action after all. Moreover, as the elder of the Zhang family and the elder of Zhang Cangxiong, his own bias was not very strong. Zhang Yuewan did not care about it at all.
He might be operated on.
However, the expressions of Zhang Cangwu and his son were very rich. The two of them already felt that the situation was in danger, but Haotian's hesitation and Chu Xiangcheng's words gave them hope.
Haotian, Chu Xiangcheng and others do not want Zhang Yuewan to kill Zhang Cangwu and others at this time. For them, Hetao not only owes Huaishui a favor, but it is also a matter of face. Hetao accepts Huaishui
The surrender of the Zhang family is the recognition of the status of the Hetao by the Huai River Zhang family, and it is a symbol of the unification of the Hetao in China. However, if an accident occurs at this time, the Hetao will naturally be very embarrassed.
Zhang Yuewan said in a deep voice: "Master Chu, I come from a noble family, so I naturally have the consciousness that a child of a noble family should have. However, I am first and foremost a citizen of China."
Luo Xiang's brows furrowed, and Chu Xiangcheng's expression was also gloomy. Both of them didn't understand why Zhang Yuewan was so persistent in wanting revenge. It was true that Zhang Cangxiong was his father, but Zhang Cangwu was also his uncle.
Zhang Yuewan has always taken the interests of the Zhang family and the survival of the family very seriously. Doesn't she know that Zhang Cangwu's existence will help ensure the influence of the Zhang family in Huai River. If she is allowed to act according to her intentions, then
Zhang Cangwu and his son will inevitably die, and the influence of the Zhang family in Huai River will be greatly reduced. If this continues, the Zhang family will no longer have much influence in Huai River in the future. This theoretically does not conform to Zhang Yuewan's ideas.
.
The two wise old men looked at each other and blinked at the same time, but they were shocked. Could it be that Zhang Yuewan had seen through the plot of himself and others?
"Husband, if Zhang Cangwu and others are just coveting the status of the head of the Zhang family or it is a complete struggle for power within the family, then Yue Wan has no objection. After all, such a thing is too common among aristocratic families.
." Zhang Yuewan said in a deep voice: "However, the reason why Zhang Cangwu and others conspired to rebel was to collude with foreign tribes to cause chaos in our country. This is an unforgivable crime. The Holy Sect of Paradise colluded with the Eastern Japanese, so you ordered the annihilation of the clan by your husband. That Zhang Yuewan said in a deep voice.
Cang Wu and others? Their behavior is not much better than that of the Holy Sect of Paradise. If they are not sentenced to death, then how can my lord comfort the millions of people who died in Dingzhou in the battle?"
Haotian's eyebrows wrinkled. The expressions of Xin Jiao and others were also a little tense. If God's will is Haotian's reverse scale, whoever touches it will die, then colluding with foreign races to disrupt our country is the second most important thing in Haotian's heart.
existence. In Haotian's view, no matter who it is, as long as they are not coerced, but actively collude with foreign races to disrupt the order of China, then they deserve death. Taking off Zhang Yuewan's hat is equivalent to indirectly announcing that Zhang Yuewan has
The death date of Cang Wu and others.
The scene was a bit dull, no one made any sound except Hao An crawling around on the dragon chair.
Chu Xiangcheng looked at Luo Xiang, and Luo Xiang smiled helplessly. Hetao indeed owed Zhang Cangxiong a lot of favors. Hetao had clear grievances, even for Luo Xiang.
Taking a step now, Luo Xiang said in a deep voice: "My lord, what the mistress said is not unreasonable. Besides, if King Weiyuan hadn't understood the righteousness at the beginning, we don't know how many innocent people in Hetao would have starved to death."
Haotian's frowning thick eyebrows suddenly raised, and his eyes were filled with light. He looked at Zhang Cangwu and his son, who looked a little pale, and finally said solemnly: "Yue Wan, this matter is a family matter of your Huaishui Zhang family.
It is inconvenient for outsiders to intervene, so it is up to you to decide how to deal with it."
"Yes!" Zhang Yuewan's heart relaxed, and she suddenly drew out her sword. The light of the sword flashed past, and the two good heads fell to the ground.
Haotian took a long breath and slowly closed his eyes. Zhang Cangwu and his son were not incompetent people, but they didn't expect Zhang Yuewan to be so decisive and vicious. Besides, they had no choice at this time.
Walk.
Zhang Yuewan was not excited at all about killing her enemy. Although Zhang Cangwu was her father-killing enemy, he was also her uncle.
"Uncle, Ji Shi, in fact, the hatred of our father does not have to continue to our generation, but if you exist in Huai River, problems will arise sooner or later. The Zhang family cannot be ruined in your hands. Give up the car to save the commander.
, that's it." She returned the sword to its sheath, but a deep sadness appeared on Zhang Yuewan's face.
Luo Xiang also let out a long sigh. He was originally going to use this ceremony to announce to the world the news that Hetao would unify China, but it was messed up by Zhang Yuewan. Moreover, there were no more talented and ambitious Zhang Cangwu and his son.
Bird, it may not be that easy to print out all the enemies in the dark.
The position of Huaishui Prefect finally fell to Zhu Liangcheng, the prefect of Huangzhou on Hexi Road. However, in order to express comfort to the Zhang family, the commander of the Yellow Turban Army was still Zhang Keliang. However, Zhang Keliang's task was not light.
Within the month, Huaishui's 250,000-strong army was compressed and formed into a certain combat effectiveness, and then quickly advanced to Dahu Road to make advance preparations for the Jinhua Mitsukoshi strategy in Hetao.
The siege of Hetao finally began.
As soon as the sun appeared above the horizon, the Hetao army had already formed a neat square array and appeared in Dongbo's field of vision.
The sound of bells and drums on the tower suddenly rang. It was obvious that Dongbo also discovered this time that Loop was ready to take action. Therefore, reflecting the morning light of the morning sun, countless weapons began to appear on the towers of Nara and Edo.
Above. At the same time, it also shines on the Bone City, which is less than twenty miles away from the two cities.
After spending a lot of time today, the enthusiastic Goryeo soldiers collected all the complete corpses of the Japanese on the battlefield, and then piled them neatly on the city wall. And Dugu has not been idle these days, he has been working hard
I prepared the medicines given by Luo Xiang, and then watched the corpses flowing with disgusting yellow water and gradually turning into white bones. I was so excited that I didn't know why.
The yellow water exuding a strong fishy smell flowed along the ground into the river, and the entire river surface also turned a light yellow color. Soon, countless fish carcasses floated up, eventually filling the entire river surface.
"There are only at most 700,000 or 800,000 Japanese people left in Nara and Edo Castles. Well, they are just enough to complete the construction of the cities." Dugu pinched his chin and thought gloomily.
Xue Sha poured cold water on the side and said: "Commander Du, don't forget that at least half of these 700,000 to 800,000 people are soldiers, and 200,000 of them are regular Japanese troops. Be careful, don't leave the mutton uneaten.
If you arrive, you will be in trouble."
Dugu nodded and smiled: "I understand, haven't I been prepared for this?"
Xue Sha didn't say anything. If Dugu is there, then he must be the commander-in-chief during the siege. Since he is solely responsible for the siege, why should he worry too much?
The first choice target for the Loop is Edo Castle. Compared with Nara, Edo is much weaker in terms of defensive power and the strength of the city. Moreover, Edo is much smaller than Nara, so the population in the city is also smaller.
Much less. After careful consideration, Dugu finally decided to operate on Edo first.
However, Edo's attack was surprisingly smooth. After a round of trebuchets, the weak wall of Edo City was immediately smashed into several gaps. The Hetao army took Edo in just one charge.
Next. The battle went so smoothly that even Dugu and others couldn't believe it.
"There are only about 200,000 Japanese in the city, and most of them are old, weak, women and children. Their resistance is quite strong, with only 30,000 soldiers at most responsible for defense." After taking down the city wall, Xinke said with a frown.
The faces of Feng Jing and others were also very ugly. Dongbo divided his troops to guard the two cities, and Hetao was happy to see the results. But now that Dongbo has reduced all its troops to Nara Castle, Hetao will definitely have to pay a lot of effort when attacking.
Small price.
However, what really made Feng Jing and others look ugly was, to a greater extent, the failure of the cavalry to monitor their duties.
The distance between Nara and Edo is about ten miles. After all the outer areas of Dongwa were killed by Hetao, there was no longer enough troops to maintain the connection between the two cities. However, Hetao was busy building a city these days, so there was no
Attack the city immediately. Instead, send cavalry to monitor the movements of the two cities.
However, under such circumstances, Towa actually sent all the old, weak, women and children in Nara Castle to Edo Castle, and all the strong men and soldiers in Edo Castle sneaked into Nara. This naturally made Feng Jing very happy.
Ugly.
"So, from the very beginning, Edo has been the object of sacrifice for Towa. Ah, no!" Xue Sha's expression changed, and he suddenly asked: "How many of our soldiers have entered the city, let them go immediately
Get them out!”
When Dugu and others heard this, their expressions also changed. Dugu's marching commander Shi Li Donggao quickly said: "In order to clear out the remaining enemies in the city, all the Korean soldiers have entered the city, and 30,000 of our Hetao infantry have also entered the city, and the follow-up troops are following up.
"
"Nonsense! Let them withdraw immediately!" Dugu shouted angrily, turned around, and said to Song Zhong, the commander of the soldiers: "Quickly call the gold and let all the soldiers who entered the city withdraw!"
Song Zhong was greatly puzzled, but Dugu's orders had always been swift and resolute. He immediately signaled the soldiers to call for gold, but his eyes were fixed on the direction of Edo City.
However, Dugu's order was still too late. In other words, when the Dongwa side heard the golden sound of the Hetao, everything was already too late. Under the gorgeous sunset, a fire suddenly shot into the sky. The fire almost simultaneously erupted from the river.
Dozens of corners of Hucheng were set ablaze, and then the entire city was swallowed up immediately.
Although Edo Castle is made of earth and stone, most of the buildings in the city are made of bamboo and wood. Therefore, when the fire broke out, the entire city was immediately plunged into a sea of flames.
