Chizhou City.

It was originally a government city, but because of Bai Wang's desperate gamble, it almost became a ruin, although it was not warned, it was demolished all over the city and broken walls, and because of the requisition of the people and the rape and plundering of the thieves, how many people's families were ruined and killed, and it was miserable.

After Bai Wang was defeated and fled, Lu Daqi ordered the officers and soldiers to help the people rebuild their homes, and in just ten days, the city's houses have been restored, but the trauma of the people's families is only afraid that they will not be able to recover in this life.

Tens of thousands of grain and grass in the Chizhou garrison were tight, and when the generals went into the mountains to pursue Bai Wang, Lu Daqi sat in the city and sent people to urge the rear, and finally sent it from the waterway to solve the urgent need, but the follow-up gap was still very large.

The people's wives were scattered, the family was ruined, and Lu Daqi saw the pain in his eyes and heart, but the officers and soldiers defeated Bai Wang all the way, but he felt extremely gratified, after all, he was the sworn enemy who had joined forces with Zuo Liangyu for several years but became bigger and bigger, but now he was beaten by the little eunuch and fled.

Regardless of whether Bai Wang can be caught in the mountains this time, but he will not want to have a big storm again for a few years after this heavy blow, Lu Daqi felt relaxed and happy every time he thought about it, until the evening of the same day, the mountain sent news and caught Bai Wang.

Although he was dead, Lu Daqi was so excited that he almost lost his breath, he had been a mortal enemy for several years, and he was waiting in the city to see this old man.

It was noon the next day after the generals came out of the mountain, the weather was hot, although Bai Wang's body had been cleaned, it also began to swell, it was unrecognizable, Lu Daqi looked at it for a while and sighed, and waved his hand, and the people in the king's body kept his head with lime.

On the same day, Lu Daqi held a banquet in the city to celebrate his achievements, and during the banquet, the generals congratulated the king in the body, of course, they were inevitably jealous and hateful, but this kind of emotion was mostly hidden in the heart and would not be easily expressed.

Wang Tizhong was flattered, although the generals did not show disdain for him after he surrendered, but they were mostly lukewarm, and now he was suddenly so hot that he couldn't digest it for a while, but he also understood in his heart that these heats were all due to the merit of capturing Bai Wang, and this credit was very likely to make him knighted.

Whether he can be knighted now he is up and down in his heart, although the little eunuch made a promise in front of everyone, but there are still changes in this matter, he looked at it with a weak heart, Tu Yuan and Jia Waixiong.

Wang Tizhong knew that the little eunuch could kill his colleagues at any time to offset his merit in capturing Bai Wang, and he might even make himself not only useless, but also likely to be punished for his crimes.

He couldn't be sure if Tu Yuan and the others had seen him do it at that time, but he was sure that these people had already suspected it, although they didn't have anything unusual on the surface, and they were even very enthusiastic about themselves.

Let's hope I have a false alarm.

Even if the little eunuch knew that he had killed Wang Zamao, perhaps he would not be held accountable for his outstanding achievements along the way, and wouldn't he be particularly disgusted with Wang Zamao......

It can be said that Wang Tizhong's heart is up and down at this time.

After capturing and killing Bai Wang, Lu Daqi thought that the suppression of bandits and quelling the chaos was a great success, and the rest of the lost territory was not self-defeating, and the army could rest and recuperate, guessing that it would take a few days to return to Beijing, but the next day, Chang Yu's military order arrived, ordering him to continue to march with Zhao Zhilong, Zhu Guobi, and Wang Tizhong, and Xu Hongji, Wu Sangui, Ma Ke and others stayed in Chizhou to wait for the order.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, Lu Daqi couldn't understand it, and guessed with Xu Hongji, Wu Sangui and others and couldn't figure out Chang Yu's intentions, but the military order could not be violated, so he immediately reorganized his troops and horses and prepared to go west.

The officers and soldiers were 20,000 troops when they set out from Nanjing, and after several major battles, there were thousands of casualties, and there were about 15,000 people who could go to the battlefield, while when Wang Tizhong surrendered, there were only half left.

Chang Yu ordered all the king's body to advance, Lu Daqi and others raised two thousand troops for a total of five thousand, and at the same time ordered each ministry to make a book to prepare merit, and after the verification of the East Factory, it was played to the imperial court, and the merit should be rewarded, which was also the most pleasing thing for the generals, of course, if there was a meritorious act was discovered, the consequences were also very serious, among them, the generals of the door were very clear in their hearts, and the exaggerated military exploits of the previous years and even the merits of the war occurred from time to time, but now the little eunuch is under the nose of you try!

Anqing

Overnight, the thief army surrendered to the city, thousands of officers and soldiers entered the city to make the people in the city panic and mixed joy, all kinds of careful thoughts, but after half a day, the panic was gone, the army of officers and soldiers did not enter the city, and there was no attack on the city, only at the head of the city and the street patrol, in stark contrast to the previous years full of street ** chaos and trouble, so that the people can't help but wonder, whose soldiers and horses are this, military discipline is so strict.

Li Yan went to Dongliu County to see Chang Yu, Zhang Qingzhen was temporarily in charge of military affairs in the city, although he was a nobleman, he did not have much influence and appeal in the army, so the big battalion outside the city spoke hard or Gao Jie and Huang Degong, the two hard stubbles who did not deal with it.

The two of them don't deal with each other, so Li Yan doesn't dare to let the two of them take care of whom, just explain that they are in charge of themselves before leaving, and they must not cause trouble, and if they cause serious consequences, they will be dealt with by military law.

Although Huang Degong has a hot temper and Gao Jie does not deal with him, he is also concerned about the overall situation, knowing that the current undercurrent in the military camp is surging and may cause a rebellion at any time, so he will not take the initiative to find fault, and even give orders to his subordinates: If there is any abnormal movement, kill it!

There are two targets for culling, one is Cheng Niandong's surrendered troops, and the other is Liu Zeqing's old department.

Cheng Niandong's troops were confined to a military camp on the riverside, and they were disarmed, and Gao Jie's soldiers and horses were not allowed to go out outside the camp, and no other people were allowed to approach, and Cheng Niandong lived in the barracks.

Gao Jie has also been cautious in the past two days, because he knows best, so he is not in the mood to talk to Huang Degong and put all his troops and attention on Liu Zeqingbu and Cheng Niandong.

Because Liu Zeqing was stabbed to death, the soldiers under his command were excited, and they could storm Cheng Niandong's military camp at any time to kill and avenge Liu Zeqing, and the reason why he hadn't done it was because he was afraid of Gao Jie and Huang Degong.

Huang Degong is just fine, if he makes a move to stop Liu Zeqing's subordinates, he may even fight with him, but several of Liu Zeqing's generals will have to give face.

After all, Liu Zeqing and Gao Jie are allied, at this time Liu Liangzuo was sent westward, and only Gao Jie can be relied on here, and there are still many things to rely on him in the future, so this face must be given.

So as soon as Li Yan left, several of Liu Zeqing's subordinates went to Gao Jie and asked him to come forward to call the shots, and he must give an explanation, it can't be said that Li Yan killed those murderers This matter can be over, then Cheng Niandong must die, must be necessary!

This matter is very embarrassing Gao Jie, no matter how he planned this matter with Li Yan behind his back, on the surface he still has to stand on the side of Liu Zeqing's old department, but if he wants to kill Cheng Niandong, Li Yan will not agree to it first, that is the person he protects.

And if he kills Cheng Niandong, his subordinates will rebel!

"On the contrary, why take the opportunity to kill them all, anyway, the little overseer loves to kill prisoners, and he just found an excuse at this time, he will definitely not blame, not to mention that you are still the righteous brother of the disinfection team" Several generals shouted.

Gao Jie's eyes glared: "I can help you and others, but don't fall into danger, such a blatant massacre will be counterattacked, you and I can't eat and walk around!" ”

These words made Liu Zeqing's subordinates unable to sit still again, and they shouted that they couldn't just stop doing it, and they were going to chill their brothers' hearts in order to protect the head of a thief?

Gao Jie had to reassure everyone not to act impulsively, and he could wait for Li Yan to come back and discuss it again, if there was no plan, he would ask the little eunuch again, no matter what, he would give the big guy a satisfactory answer.

The anger of the crowd subsided slightly, urging Gao Jie to go to Dongliu to see Chang Yu, but Gao Jie used the excuse that Li Yan could not leave without permission if he did not return, this was a military order.
