Chapter 742 The soldiers were divided into two routes, and the Northern Expedition and the Western Expedition

Halfway through the table, everyone was drinking happily. (_Bubble & Book & Bar)

Suddenly, Du Fuwei let out a loud shout, violently ripped open the robe on his body, revealing the pure gold soft armor inside, and removed a short sword from his leg. Du Fuwei stepped forward, and when everyone did not react, he killed Wang Zhizhi with one blow, and then calmly walked down with his head.

Wang Bao, Wang Yan and other Wang generals in the hall are also people who have experienced battlefield battles. lived a life of licking blood from the knife edge, but I was also calmed by this sudden incident, and I was at a loss and like a fool.

At this moment, the shouts of killing outside shook the sky. It turned out that the henchmen arranged by Fu Gongyi earlier led a large group of soldiers to come to respond!

Seeing that the time was ripe, Du Fuwei said loudly: "Wang Zhizhi is mediocre and old, and there is only one way to die if he follows him." Now that King Wu is wise and martial, as long as everyone follows him, why worry about not being rich in the future? ”

When everyone saw this posture, they knew that it was irretrievable, so they had to sit there silently one by one.

Du Fuwei saw that everyone was sitting in the town and grasped the situation, and his heart was inexplicably relaxed. He walked up to Fu Gongyi in a few steps and threw the head of the man who was still dripping blood in front of him. The human skull rolled around on the table, breaking several cups and dishes on the table, and all the wine and food in the cups and plates were spilled on the ground, red, white, and yellow, and many of them stuck to the man's head. Wang Zhizhi, who was talking and laughing just now, even the head was unrecognizable at this time, and he couldn't see any of his original appearance anymore.

Fu Gongqi was already extremely surprised when Du Fuwei rose up to kill people just now. At the moment when Duvowe jumped up and drew his knife. He also thought that Duvowe was going to kill him. According to his plan with King Wu. It was he who took advantage of Wang Zhizhi's banquet to send his henchmen to besiege the mansion in one fell swoop, and then killed Wang Zhizhi who went to the banquet and all the generals of the Huainan Army who refused to obey his orders.

Even in their plan, if Duvowe refused to surrender, they would kill him together. After all, Du Fuwei is Wang Zhizhi's righteous son, and their relationship is close.

All the plans were arranged, and no one expected that there would be such a scene in the middle in the end. He still didn't understand at this time, why did Du Fuwei kill Wang Zhizhi? I heard some rumors, and the wisdom of killing the king protected himself. Or is there something else in it?

looked at Fu Gong Yi, who was startled by that head. Du Fuwei smiled and stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and all the blood of Wang Zhizhi in his hand slapped on the purple robe of Fu Gongyi.

"I know that you were worried about my father-son relationship with Wang Zhizhi before, so you kept this matter from me. I also understand that you are doing this for my good, and I don't want to see me face off against Wang Zhizhi. I don't want to be saddled with the infamy of killing my father. But our brotherhood for more than ten years is not comparable to Wang Zhizhi. I know you're doing all this for my good. I'm grateful, but I'll have to do it myself. I know that Wang Zhizhi deliberately provoked the love between us at the beginning, and I couldn't fully explain it before, but now, I use this head to prove to you that our brotherly love is inseparable from anyone. Good brother. Lifetime! ”

"Good brother, for life." Fu Gongyi's heart was extremely uneasy, his eyes wandered, and he didn't dare to look directly at Du Fuwei's gaze. At this moment, he suddenly regretted it. Regretting that he should not have betrayed Duvoy, he regretted his previous actions. But instead, he secretly rejoiced in his heart, fortunately Du Fuwei didn't know anything. Fortunately, now that Wang Zhizhi is dead, everything has become a thing of the past.

Perhaps everything he had done, Duvowe would never have discovered. Maybe he can still be a brother with Duvowe as he did in the past.

The two hugged each other heavily, hugged each other tightly, and slapped each other's backs heavily, showing the brotherhood between the two to everyone in the hall. …,

Wang Zhizhi died, and Shen Faxing, the behind-the-scenes manipulator, did not let go of the Wang family's children.

Under the darkness of the night. A bloody purge began.

The first to fall under the knife were Wang Bao, Wang Yan, Wang Mao and other Huainan army generals. One by one. Without any trial, the high-ranking generals who had been planted in the Huai army by the Wang family for many years fell one by one.

It was not enough to kill a few highest-ranking generals, Du Fuwei immediately ordered to arrest all the sons of the Wang family at the rank of captain, as well as the captain-level officers who were loyal to the Wang family in the past. There was no interrogation, no surrender was accepted. One by one, hundreds of mid-ranking officers fell.

Duvowe's butcher's knife was put away, but the others weren't willing to end there. Under the instruction of Shen Faxing, Fu Gongqi struck again, and took advantage of the night to arrest all the people who had a relationship with the Wang family in the entire 300,000 army, regardless of the official position, among these people there were both generals and ordinary soldiers, and even a lot of people, boatmen, and men, no matter what their status, as long as they were related to the Wang family, they were killed.

All of a sudden, the banks of the Caishui River became a huge slaughterhouse. One by one, heads were cut off, and corpse after body was pushed down the river. The murderous soldiers did not have time to dig a pit and bury it, so they threw it directly into the river. The entire Caishui River is red, becoming a bright red river.

From night to dawn, and finally until mid-afternoon, the massacre finally stopped.

The Huainan Army was the most killed, and the Huainan Army, which originally had 110,000 people left, was now only 90,000 left. In more than half a day, as many as 20,000 people were killed, which even reached the number of soldiers and horses that Du Fuwei lost in the Battle of Yingchuan.

In addition to the Huainan Army, the private army of the Wang family, a large number of people were also killed in other units and logistics units, numbering tens of thousands.

This was a massacre that should not have been, and it was even impossible to have such a large scale, but under the impetus of Fu Gongyi, Shen Faxing, and even Du Fuwei and others to eliminate dissidents, this massacre was infinitely expanded. When the killing is final, everyone who kills directly is in danger.

When Shen Luoyan, who had been busy for a few days, woke up with a fever and heard the news, everything was over. Thirty thousand human heads were piled up on the banks of the Caishui River to form a mountain, and 30,000 headless corpses blocked the entire Caishui.

Hearing the news, Shen Luoyan couldn't believe it. Although there is a plan for a purge operation, it will be a few hundred people at most. She never thought that she would end up killing 30,000 people. This is simply more staggering than the number of soldiers killed in a great battle, and these 30,000 soldiers did not die on the battlefield or at the hands of the enemy, they all died by the sword of their own people.

Wearing a long cloak, standing by the Caishui River, looking at the river surface that was still red with blood, and the headless corpses floating in the river, Shen Luoyan's silver teeth bit through the jade lips. In addition to the shock in her heart, all that was left was lamentation, not only lamenting these dead soldiers, but also lamenting those executioners.

"It's ridiculous that I still expect these people to really rebuild a Jiangnan dynasty in this troubled world. Ridiculous, lamentable, pathetic! ”

After killing so many people, no one in the Nan Chen army was willing to stay in this place full of dead spirit. Early the next morning, there was no objection, and the remaining 250,000 troops continued north.

Before leaving, Shen Faxing also held a grand swearing-in ceremony. At the end of the ceremony, Shen Faxing accepted Du Fuwei as his righteous son, and crowned Du Fuwei as the marshal of the Eastern Road of the Northern Expeditionary Army, the title of Duke of Jin Yue Kingdom, and the post of right servant of Situ and Shangshu Province. In this civil strife, the hardest working Fu Gong Yi was promoted to the Marquis of Wanqiu, the commander of the Western Route Army, and the Huangmen Squire of Menxia Province. …,

Du Fuwei was a real promotion, a duke and an official, and alone led the 90,000 Huainan Army to fight against Yingchuan. The 90,000 Huainan army completely became Du Fuwei's one-man army. Although Shen Faxing is named Du Fuwei's father-in-law, at this time there is no control that Wang Zhizhi had over the Huainan Army at all. Du Fuwei has become a real hero in Jiangnan.

As for Fu Gongyi, as Shen Luoyan said before, he is just a small chess piece used by Shen Faxing to force Du Fuwei and fight against Wang Zhizhi. When the usefulness of the piece is completed, it has no value. Although he was given several high positions and marquis, he was promoted and surrendered secretly, broke away from the Huainan army, and was transferred to the large army of Nan Chen.

Originally, Shen Faxing was ready to reuse Fu Gong Yi, wanting to use him to contain Du Fuwei and indirectly control the Huainan Army through Fu Gong Qi. But this idea was dissuaded by Shen Luoyan, and Shen Luoyan's reason was very simple. The task undertaken by the Huainan Army this time is very important, and if Fu Gongqi stays in the Huainan Army, then the Huainan Army will inevitably have another civil strife. In this way, the Huainan Army will not have the energy to deal with the situation in Henan wholeheartedly. As for Shen Faxing's worry that Du Fuwei's tail would be in trouble, Shen Luoyan's reason was very simple. As long as he wins this battle and captures Jianghan, Du Fuwei will be able to jump out of control again.

The 250,000 soldiers and horses were divided into two routes, and Du Fuwei led all the remaining 90,000 Huainan troops to the north to Yingchuan, responsible for receiving Li Mi, and eating the 20,000 cavalry of Guo Xiaoke and Lu Shishen.

And Shen Faxing and Shen Luoyan, father and daughter, took the remaining 160,000 Chen soldiers and turned their heads directly to the west. Through Runan, Huainan, and finally directly to Nanyang County, and then turn south from Nanyang, straight to Xiangyang. After capturing Xiangyang, the army went down the river along the Han and seized the land of Jingxiangjiang and Han while Yang Hui was still far away in Hanzhong.

The pace was rumbling, the iron hooves were roaring, and the two armies, one north and one west, parted ways.

The long marching column stretched like a big snake across the land of the Central Plains. Flags were unfurled, and smoke and dust were everywhere.

Shen Faxing and his daughter Shen Luoyan rode a horse, under the arch of a group of guards, standing on the high slope beside the road, watching the army march. Shen Faxing stroked his long beard, and he couldn't hide his pride and happiness in his heart. As soon as Wang Zhizhi died, Nan Chen's world was the world of his Shen Faxing. And if this western expedition can achieve a victory as her daughter said, then the Chen Dynasty will be able to become the largest force in the south, and even fight with Chen Kefu across the river from now on. Perhaps, after taking Jiang Han, he should consider driving Chen Shen down from the palace and replacing him himself. What should you call your country name, is it called Wu or Chu? Thinking of these beautiful things, Shen Faxing's thoughts drifted farther and farther! (To be continued......)
