After Tong Guan resisted the order, he was afraid that Zhao Ji would issue another order, so he immediately ordered the Song army to encircle Muzhou, hoping to capture Muzhou before Zhao Ji became angry. However, as soon as he entered Muzhou, the Song army was rushed to protect the Holy Duke from the nearby prefectures.
The rebel army resisted tenaciously. In order to make the soldiers work harder, Tong Guan issued a military order to "kill one person and reward seven pieces of silk".
Sure enough, after the military order was issued, the Western Army's advancement speed increased a lot, and Muzhou was quickly captured. The only drawback was that Fang La and some of the remaining troops fled back to Bangyuan Cave.
Tong Guan had to lead a large army to siege Bangyuan Cave again.
The night was dark and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
In the huge central army tent, there were only Tong Guan and his confidant Dong Yun. Tong Guan had many aides, just as his personal soldiers had 20,000, but tonight he only recruited Dong Yun.
.
Tong Guan handed a letter to Dong Yun and said, "This is a letter sent by the Shouzhou Magistrate to me by a fast horse. Look."
Dong Yun took the letter curiously. After reading a few lines, his face changed drastically. He suppressed the storm in his heart and calmed down and said, "Is this true?"
Tong Guan nodded and said, "This is the second letter I have received, I think I can't be wrong."
Dong Yun took a long breath before calming himself down and asked, "What does the Shuxiang mean?"
Although Tong Guan looked calm on his face, he was also up and down in his heart. He shook his head and said, "I don't know what to do, so I asked you to discuss it. Tell me what I should do now. You are the only one here,
Just keep it safe.”
Dong Yun couldn't help but think when he heard Tong Guan say this.
The tent suddenly fell into silence, and Tong Guan could even hear his heartbeat. When he received the first letter today, he almost fell off his horse. Fortunately, the personal soldiers next to him supported him.
Tong Guan was still having some luck at first, but at night, when he received the second letter, Tong Guan knew that something was wrong and hurriedly called Dong Yun to discuss it.
After a while, Dong Yun said: "This may be an opportunity for the Shuxiang."
Tong Guan's eyes lit up and he said, "What do you say?"
Dong Yun said: "According to their letters, there was no imperial edict for serving the king in Tokyo, nor did there be defeated soldiers or fleeing people, so they were captured by the bandits of Liangshan, and the emperor issued an imperial edict to surrender to Daliang. Very
Perhaps it was because the royal family in Tokyo was beaten by the Liangshan bandits, and the emperor issued an imperial edict to surrender to Daliang to the world prefecture. Otherwise, the royal family would have a glimmer of chance, and the emperor would probably not have issued such an imperial edict."
Tong Guan said in confusion: "There are many people who can write the emperor's imperial edict, won't this imperial edict be fake?"
Dong Yun shook his head and said, "If a royal family escaped from Tokyo, they would definitely appear in the prefecture controlled by our dynasty, and then call on the troops and horses of the world to support the king."
Tong Guan stared at Dong Yun and said, "Can you mean the opportunity you mentioned means that the royal family is all in the hands of the thief?"
Dong Yun nodded and said, "If a royal family escapes, the minister of Shu will be ordered to serve the king and go north to attack Tokyo. Not to mention that the Tokyo city is solid and difficult to attack, even if Tokyo is captured, many people will probably jump out to accuse the minister of Shu will resist the order.
Disrespect leads to Tokyo being in the hands of a thief, and then the Shuxiang may find it difficult to redeem his merits and sins."
Tong Guan was actually worried about this problem. Although he was ordered to go back before the Liangshan bandits attacked the city, he resisted the order and Tokyo was captured by the bandits, which was enough for the emperor to chop his head.
, and it is probably not enough to cut off his head alone, and he may have to kill his nine clans. Although he is a eunuch, he entered the palace in his twenties. The nine clans still know that after he became a high-ranking official, many people
He also gained wealth and honor.
Tong Guan said thoughtfully: "What do you mean is that I won't send troops to save Tokyo?"
Dong Yun smiled bitterly and said, "If the news of Tokyo's loss reached the ears of the Western Army soldiers, the Shuxiang would probably not be able to command them. If they asked the Shuxiang to cash in on the bounty of killing the rebels, it would be difficult to calm down."
Tong Guan thought that after the Western Army captured Muzhou two days ago, the bounty for the siege could not be fulfilled at once, so he burned Muzhou. In order to capture Muzhou as soon as possible, he made a frustration after he defeated the city.
Each person rewarded five stakes of money. Their troops were only more than 70,000, and a total of more than 300,000 stakes. However, he did not expect that the money in Muzhou City had been swept away by Fang La and others, and there were not many in the army.
I just wanted to postpone the cash for a while. Unexpectedly, the Western Army, which had already been red-eyed, immediately started to make trouble and burned all the Muzhou City with a torch.
In order to continue to arrest Fang La, Tong Guan did not dare to blame the Western Army soldiers who caused trouble, so he could only comfort him with kind words.
However, the bounty for killing the rebels was also a headache for Tong Guan. In order to motivate the soldiers to kill the thief, he promised to kill one person and reward seven pieces of silk. Unexpectedly, until now, the heads of each army have been captured by more than one million.
, most of them are Manichaeists, but there are also many ordinary people, but Tong Guan cannot deny the achievements of the Western Army, because many Manichaeists hide in ordinary villages and launch attacks on the army, if not
If one by one, the army would not be able to attack the Bangyuan Cave so quickly. However, after admitting the achievements of the Western Army, he would send these rewards. One million heads would be seven million pieces of silk, which would be a money-making one.
Seven million guan, such a large amount, the treasury may not be able to produce it for the time being.
Tong Guan said: "What do you mean is to hide it from the Western Army and continue to attack Fang La?"
Dong Yun nodded and said, "Tokyo was captured. The first two attacks on Liangshan were used up, and the troops from Jingjin, Jingdong and Hebei were all drawn. In addition, the prefectures of each prefecture were without leaders and no one to rescue him. The prefectures of the Central Plains would not take long before they all fell.
The bandits of Liangshan were in the hands of the bandits of Liangshan. Only Jiangnan was still the world, and the bandits of Liangshan were unable to move south for a while. After the Prime Minister led his troops to Jiangnan, he replaced many officials of the prefectures in Jiangnan. If the son was in trouble today, these officials must be the Prime Minister.
The leader of the horse is right. Only Fang La is good at bewitching people's hearts, and there are many Manichae church members. If he cannot kill Fang La this time and let him breathe, he may become a strong enemy of the prime minister. As long as he is wiped out, some Manichae church members will be left.
There is no need to worry about it, and then the entire Jiangnan will be the pivotal minister."
After Tong Guan went to Jiangnan, he replaced a group of officials appointed by Zhu Xie. He originally wanted to win back the hearts of the people and avoid the people following the thief. He gave the Manichaeism a cauldron to remove the firewood, but now he gave him an unexpected surprise.
When Tong Guan heard Dong Yun say this, his heart was filled with excitement, and his eyebrows were dancing for a while, and suddenly his eyebrows frowned and said, "I have no descendants, so I'm afraid everyone will not accept it as an emperor."
When Dong Yun heard Tong Guan say this, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, but he did not dare to show it. He hurriedly said: "If the Prime Minister wants to order the prefectures in Jiangnan, he still needs to rely on the court's righteousness. It is best to find a royal family in the Song Dynasty.
To be an emperor, the new emperor must rely on the throne to firmly hold the throne.” (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!)
