Chapter 246 Everyone Sweeps the Snow(1/2)
Chapter 246 Everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door
Wang Pu was wrong. Zuo Liangyu's army had completely transformed into a bandit army that only knew how to oppress the people. When they faced the unarmed people, they acted more cruel than wolves, but when they faced the well-trained and well-equipped regular army, they immediately became weak lambs.
Jin Shengtan, Lu Guangzu, Li Guoyong, Xu Yong and other generals of the four towns, as well as all the generals in the army, were killed. The rebels, who had been scared by the Central Army's troops, had no idea of resisting. They would only have a numb expression on their necks, waiting for death, which was even more gentle than the most docile sheep.
The remaining more than 70,000 rebels were locked in seven temporary concentration camps, and more than 7,000 Central Army were responsible for guarding them.
Zuo Liangyu, who was entrenched in Wuchang City, has not yet been wiped out. Wang Pu still can't spare time to deal with the more than 70,000 rebels, but their fate is already destined. Wang Pu cannot incorporate them like the Jiangbei Army, nor can he release them back to their original homes to harm the people. Their only chance of survival is to enter the palace to be eunuchs!
After staying in Hukou for two days, the Central Army advanced west again.
Zhao Xin led 20,000 troops to march along the left bank of the Yangtze River, and Wang Pu personally led 20,000 troops to march along the right bank of the Yangtze River. Huang Degong and Shi Lang's eight thousand navy troops followed the Yangtze River, and three large armies of water and land advanced together and rushed straight to Wuchang.
The defenders arranged by Zuo Liangyu along the Yangtze River turned against each other without any resistance. The Central Army troops were approaching, and these rebels had no courage to resist. In fact, they could not resist, because these left-behind rebels were not considered regular troops at all, but were just a group of mobs.
Just by using the bamboo swords and wooden sticks used by this group of mobs, they are used to bully the common people and make peace. They are used to fight with the Central Army, which is purely seeking death.
By the time the Central Army fought to Huangzhou, there were more than 50,000 prisoners of war with the army, and these prisoners of war seriously delayed the Central Army's marching speed.
As a last resort, Wang Pu decided to set up five temporary concentration camps in Huangzhou to detain more than 50,000 prisoners of war.
As soon as the army set up camp in Huangzhou, Lu Liu entered Wang Pu's tent and said loudly: "Mr. Marquis, the patrol team has caught a spy outside Huangzhou City. This guy claims to be a confidant of Wuchang General Paiqi, saying that there is something important to see you."
"The confidant of the flag?" Wang Pu said with a look of movement and asked, "Where is the person?"
Lu Liudao: "It's outside."
Wang Pu said: "Bring it in."
"yes."
Lu Liu responded and took the order.
Soon, Lu Liu twisted a man in the costume of a servant and entered the account. When the servant was looking at the arrangement of the account, Lu Liu had already kicked him hard at the bend of his leg and shouted sternly: "The Marquis is not kneeling down yet!"
The dick groaned and fell to Wang Pu with a slight groan.
Wang Pu asked in a deep voice: "What's your name?"
The Ding of the family said respectfully: "The prince is Hui, the villain's name is Sheren."
"Good man?" Wang Pu frowned, "Who are you She Yaoqi?"
Sheren said: "The villain is the housekeeper of General She's mansion."
"What are the credentials?"
Sheren solemnly took out a red silk cloth bag from his arms and said, "The general's seal can be used as a certificate."
Lu Liu snatched the red silk cloth bag and handed it to Wang Pu. Wang Pu reached out and took it and untied it. It was indeed the seal of Wuchang General of She Yaoqi. This thing was awarded to Jin Shengtan, Lu Guangzu, She Yaoqi and others when Emperor Longwu ordered the generals of each town to be conferred by the generals of each town. The texture, pattern, and engraving are all of the details, and it is difficult to fake it.
"Yeah." Wang Pu nodded and asked, "She Yaoqi asked you to come to find this marquis. What's the matter?"
Sheren said: "My general hopes that the marquis can give him his life. As long as the marquis can spare my general, my general will be able to launch a mutiny in Wuchang City and will definitely capture Zuo Liangyu alive. Zuo Menggeng and his son presented him to the marquis' tent in front of the marquis, and then led all the rebels in Wuchang City to surrender to the marquis."
Wang Pu said coldly: "What if I don't agree?"
Sheren said in surprise: "This, this..."
"Hahaha." Wang Pu suddenly laughed, "I am just kidding you, pardon the butler!"
Sheren shivered with excitement and responded respectfully: "The villain is here."
Wang Pu shouted: "You go back and tell the chastity to tell the chastity. As long as he can tie Zuo Liangyu, Zuo Menggeng and his son to the Central Army camp of Huangzhou within three days, this marquis will forgive all his guilt and submit the court to the court, promote him to Ningnanbo and govern the military affairs of Huguang!"
She Ren was overjoyed when he heard this, knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, "I would like to thank the Marquis on behalf of my general. Thank you Marquis..."
Wang Pu said: "She Ren, you have to remember carefully. This marquis will only wait for three days! If there is no news about the flag-shaking news in three days, this marquis will lead the artillery camp, the musket camp and tens of thousands of central troops to attack Wuchang. At that time, you should not blame me for being untrustworthy!"
"Yes, yes, yes." Sheren responded repeatedly, "I will wait only for three days, only for three days."
Wang Pu said: "Go."
Sheren kowtowed to Wang Pu a few more times, turned around and walked away happily.
After Sheren walked away, Lu Liu asked in a low voice: "Marty, do you really want to let Hua shook the flag?"
"Let the flag of She Shaking?" Wang Pu said coldly, "If the flag of She Shaking She Shaking, then the King of Hell should cry."
"Then..." Lu Liu said in surprise, "Mr. Marquis, aren't you trustless?"
"Xin? What is Xinyi?" Wang Pu said coldly, "Does it also need to be trustworthy to scum like She Yaoqi? Besides, this lord who betrays She Yaoqi can make millions of people in Huguang less likely to suffer disasters. For this, what's the harm that even if I bear the infamy for a lifetime?"
Wuchang, the general of the flag-shaking army was headed.
Late at night, the trusted butler Sheren finally returned to Wuchang from Huangzhou. She shook the flag and strode forward and asked anxiously: "Uncle Ren, how are the matter doing?"
Sheren gasped for a few breaths and said proudly: "General, the marquis agree."
"Oh?" She Yaoqi asked excitedly, "Did Wang Puzhen agree?"
Sheren said: "I really agreed, and I also agreed to be promoted to Ning Nanbo and the admiral of Huguang military affairs after the matter was completed."
"Ning Nanbo, the admiral of Huguang military affairs? Such generous conditions?" She Yaoqi thought about it and asked with some concern, "Uncle Ren, do you think the Marquis will betrayal? Then I will take Zuo Liangyu and his son to Huangzhou. If the Marquis changes his mind, I will have no choice but to run away."
"No," said Sheren, "The Marquis is famous for his loyalty and righteousness. He dared to rob the monks of the Qiang Dynasty in the capital for his subordinates. How could he betray the faith?"
"Yes." She Yaoqi said, "What she said makes sense."
Sheren said again: "But, the marquis still has the conditions."
She Yaoqi immediately became nervous and asked Ningsheng: "What are the conditions?"
Sheren said: "The Marquis wants you to tie Zuo Liangyu and his son to Huangzhou within three days."
"What? Only three days!?" She Yaoqi was shocked when she heard this and said anxiously, "How can three days be enough? Zuo Liangyu has three squads of guards accompanying him when he goes in and out. How can it be so easy to do it if he wants to do it? It will take at least ten days and half a month to complete everything."
Sheren smiled bitterly and said, "But the Marquis gave him three days. The Marquis also said that if Zuo Liangyu and his son were not removed from Huangzhou in three days, he would have to bring the artillery camp, the musket camp and the Central Army to kill him. At that time, he should be burned together, and you will be lucky, General."
She Yaoqi was so anxious that she turned around. After a while, she suddenly hugged her head and squatted on the ground, shouting: "This... isn't this going to drive a duck to put it on the shelves?"
Sheren advised: "General, Jiujiang has Jin Shengtan, Lu Guangzu, Li Guoyong, and Xuyong's four towns of 80,000 elite soldiers. In the end, the entire army surrendered in less than three days. Even Jiannu is no match for the Central Army. What's so amazing! General, you have to think clearly. Now there are only 30,000 to 50,000 troops in Wuchang City, so how can you resist it?"
She Yaoqi said, "But Zuo Liangyu is not easy to deal with."
Sheren said: "No matter how difficult it is to deal with Zuo Liangyu, it is better than the Marquis, right?"
Just as he was talking, suddenly a captain of the personal soldiers came in and reported, "General, Marquis of Ningnan is here."
"Zuo Liangyu?" She Yaoqi said in a deep voice, "Why are he here to do so late?"
Sheren said: "No matter what he is here to do, General, this is a good opportunity to come to your door."
"Yeah." She Yaoqi nodded and ordered the captain of the personal soldiers, "You should immediately gather two hundred swords and axe players and lie outside the gate. When Zuo Liangyu leaves, I will send him out of the gate. When I see my gestures, if I raise my right hand, I should not persuade him easily. If I raise my left hand, I will take Zuo Liangyu down!"
"yes."
The personal captain took the order and went there.
She Shaqi said to Sheren again: "Go and follow me to welcome Zuo Liangyu."
Huangzhou, Wang Pu held a tent.
"Report!"
When Wang Pu was staring at the military topographic map on the table in a daze, a crisp report suddenly sounded in front of him. Wang Pu looked up when he heard the sound and saw Liu Qingyan standing in front of him.
Meeting Wang Pu's burning eyes, a strong spring suddenly appeared on the corners of Liu Qingyan's eyebrows and said coquettishly: "Mr. Marquis, where are you looking?"
Wang Pu snorted, hooked his fingers to Liu Qingyan, and said in an ambiguous tone: "Come here."
Liu Qingyan gave Wang Pu a charming look, but he obediently walked to Wang Pu. Wang Pu stretched out his hand to Liu Qingyan's slender waist and gently lifted her plump body to his legs.
"Mr. Marquis, you hate it, don't."
Liu Qingyan moaned softly, and her plump body twisted like a snake.
When the two were intimate, the closed curtain was suddenly lifted open.
Wang Pu and Liu Qingyan turned around in shock, and saw Liu Rushi standing outside the tent. Liu Rushi was obviously stunned, looking blankly at Wang Pu and Liu Qingyan who were hugging each other, with their faces at a loss.
Because Liu Qingyan was riding on Wang Pu's legs with her back to the tent, Liu Rushi took this extremely erotic scene clearly. What made Liu Rushi feel shy most was that Wang Pu did not restrain herself because of her appearance.
Liu Rushi couldn't stand watching anymore and ran away with a moan.
Liu Qingyan leaned into Wang Pu's ear and said, "Mr. Marquis, I can see that you value this little girl Liu Rushi."
Wang Pu smiled and said, "Liu Rushi is indeed smart and has read many military books and strategies, but she only knows how to talk about war on paper and lacks practical experience. I am taking her by my side now to give her the opportunity to experience. When can she combine theory with practice, and when can she stand alone."
"Stop it alone?" Liu Qingyan said charmingly, "Marty, then you have to hurry up and take her away."
"Hehe." Wang Pu smiled, "It's a matter of time."
Liu Qingyan said in a charming voice: "Do you want my help?"
"Okay." Wang Pu said quickly, "Don't, don't fiddle with Hehuanxiang anymore. I almost killed you in Mengcheng last time."
"You are so heartless." Liu Qingyan poked Wang Pu's finger and said coquettishly, "If it weren't for the Hehuan Xiang of my family, could you have achieved good things with Hong Niang? You didn't even say thank you, but you even blamed me for almost killing you. Humph, you died, but it was so good that it was so good. Is the Hong Niang very happy?"
"Not to talk about this for now."
Speaking of the Hongniang, Wang Pu suddenly thought of the serious matter, hugged Liu Qingyan's soft body and asked, "How are you asking for information about what you asked?"
"I've found out clearly." Liu Qingyan said in a narrow voice, "Although the thieves have stabilized their positions in Shaanxi, their current situation is not good. Guanzhong is already poor. In addition, natural and man-made disasters have continued in recent years, and agricultural production has been greatly damaged. The thieves cannot conquer food, and many people starve to death, but more people are starving to death."
