Qin Shuhuai must not take troops to seize the military power of the major battalions, he has already thought about this, otherwise he would not invite Hong Chengchou over. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Assuming that he took the Wuyuan battalion out of the city to seize the military power of the Guguan army led by He Huchen, then the Dark Cloud Sect would inevitably provoke, instigate, or even directly hold He Huchen hostage and order a war with the Wuyuan army, then the consequences would be unimaginable.

First, as soon as the Guan army and the Wuyuan army went to war, no matter what the reason, He Huchen opened his bow and did not turn back, and from then on he could only fight Qin Shuhuai endlessly. Even if Qin Shuhuai defeated him, as long as He Huchen did not die, he would take the remnants of his army to join Zhang Xianzhong, because if he returned to the imperial court, he would definitely die.

Second, after the war between the Guan army and the Wuyuan army, all the loyal Donglin generals would get the wrong message, that is, Qin Shuhuai wanted to completely exterminate them. At that time, as long as someone provokes the slightest stir, they are likely to rebel directly! You must know that at present, there are a lot of places for rebels to go!

Therefore, he can't give the Dark Cloud Sect or the brainless fans of the Donglin Party this chance, so Taiyuan City must be defended. As long as the army outside can't get in, there will be no fighting!

Of course, Taiyuan City is so important, Qin Shuhuai will definitely not pin his hopes on Chu Fu alone, he said this just to tell Chu Fu that he trusts him very much, so that he can work hard for himself with peace of mind!

After listening to Qin Shuhuai's "heartfelt words", although he knew that he also had a little bit of drama, he could also detect that Qin Shuhuai really wanted to accept himself for his own use.

This is naturally a good thing for him. If he can help Qin Shuhuai make a big contribution in the process of pacifying the three sides, then his future future will naturally have an extra layer of security.

Chu Fu said solemnly, "Qin Shaobao rest assured, the last general will not fail in his mission." The end will be guaranteed by the head of the item, and the people are in the city!"

Qin Shuhuai nodded, and said loudly, "Okay! Then there will be General Lao Chu." If he is pacified on three sides in the future, Ben Chin will ask for merit for the general and all the soldiers present in front of the emperor, and the sky will prove it!"

Qin Shuhuai's identity is prominent, and his reputation is shocking, and no one doubts that he said this!

All the soldiers were shocked.

"Thank you Qin Shaobao!" Chu Fu bowed and clenched his fists, feeling a lot more relieved.

After Qin Shuhuai came back from the south gate, he personally ran to the north gate, opened the gate of the north city first, and let the five thousand soldiers of the Wuyuan battalion outside enter the city. Then he announced the decree to the guards of the north gate, and ordered the north gate to be closed, and the soldiers naturally did not dare to disobey the order. In addition, the city guard Chu Fu later sent someone to pass on the general order, so that they were not allowed to let a single soldier enter the city, so they did not dare to open the city gate.

As for the South Gate and the North Gate, Qin Shuhuai will not go in person, anyway, if Chu Fu really wants to guard Taiyuan, he will definitely go to pass the order.

Taiyuan City is a big city, out of the outer city wall, and there is also an inner city wall. Qin Shuhuai concentrated all the soldiers in the inner city, and as for the four gates of the inner city wall, they were controlled by the people of the Wuyuan battalion, so that in case Chu Fu turned against the water and let people in, he still had a layer of protection.

At this time, the people of the Dark Cloud Sect were five miles south of Taiyuan City, anxiously waiting for the Guguan army to catch up.

Originally, they wanted to rush to the city to kill Qin Shuhuai first, but halfway through the road, they received the news that Yang He was dead and the gate of Taiyuan was closed, so they had to stop and wait for the Guguan army.

Qin Shuhuai has done everything, and all that is left is to wait for the armies from all walks of life to come to the door.

In the inner city, all the 2,000 soldiers who had been chasing him were coerced by Li Jingting in the name of assisting in the defense of the governor's palace. As soon as they entered the inner city, they were ordered to rest in place, and the generals were called into the governor's palace to "discuss important matters."

In fact, Li Jingting put all these generals under house arrest. Because it is clear that these people are loyal to Donglin. He couldn't say it was wrong for them to catch the Assassins, so he had to put them under house arrest.

There are a total of 15,000 defenders in Taiyuan City, of which 8,000 are directly led by Chu Fu, the city guard, and among the remaining 7,000 soldiers, half are led by neutral generals, and the other half are led by generals loyal to Donglin.

After Qin Shuhuai entered the governor's palace, he immediately dismissed them on the spot on the grounds that they "failed to fulfill their duties and caused the governor to be martyred", and all the officers and soldiers under his command were scattered and filled into the Wuyuan camp.

These generals all had bitter mouths as if they had eaten Yellow Lotus. What do you mean by "failing to fulfill their duties so that the governor is martyred"? Isn't the governor killed by you? As for the failure to fulfill his duties, those who know that the governor has been assassinated and do not move are probably the real dereliction of duty? Why don't you arrest them?

Hey, the king is defeated, I knew that we would not move, but now I don't know how to deal with him!

Subsequently, Qin Shuhuai immediately sent someone to invite all the other generals in the city. Most of these generals were neutrals, so after the announcement and the explanation of the relationship, they all said that they would listen to Qin Shuhuai's orders in the future.

The city was finally put in order.

Qin Shuhuai came to the back hall and met Meng Hu, Lai San'er and the White Lotus Sect who were "captured". At this time, they have naturally loosened their bonds, and have received a large number of medicines, and are being treated.

Meng Hu and Lai San'er were all wounded, and after bandaging themselves, they began to rescue the most seriously injured White Lotus Cultists.

Both of them had slightly red eyes, because their lives were exchanged for more than one hundred and eighty lives by the White Lotus Sect.

Seeing Qin Shuhuai come in, everyone saluted him, but the title was different.

"See the helper!"

"See the Master!"

Qin Shuhuai said, "Get up, it's important to heal." ”

He accepted the matter of the White Lotus Sect, and Meng Hu and Lai San'er already knew about it, so they didn't think it was strange.

Interestingly, Meng Hu knew, but Chongzhen didn't know yet.

Qin Shuhuai said to the stout man, "What's your name?"

The sturdy man said busily, "Sect Master Qiqi, who belongs to the east of Zhendong, is the helmsman of my Taiyuan Division. ”

Qin Shuhuai nodded and said, "Lord Wen, thanks to you this time, you Taiyuan rudder, this time you lost a lot of sect brothers, right?"

Wen Zhendong nodded and said calmly, "There are a total of one hundred and eighty-nine brothers who have ascended to the Heavenly Kingdom to serve the lifeless old mother." ”

There was no trace of sadness in his expression. It seems that the White Lotus cultists have their own unique views on death.

Qin Shuhuai was not comforted.

He groaned and said, "By the way, how did you know that I was going to assassinate Yang He, and how did you gather so many brothers to help in such a short time?"

Wen Zhendong smiled, but it looked even uglier.

"Muslim master, there are hundreds of brothers in our Taiyuan rudder, and there are hundreds of people mixed in the official army, and one of them is Wang Hannian's personal guard. Two days ago, he heard Wang Hannian tell a general in the house that he was going to deal with the new Lord Qincha, so he immediately told his subordinates the news. Our Taiyuan rudder has already received a message from the chief rudder, saying that the sect master will arrive in Taiyuan as a minister, so his subordinates thought about it, thinking that they would set up a Hongmen banquet in Taiyuan City, lure you over and then kill you, so they immediately issued a summoning order, asking our disciples from all over Taiyuan to come to Taiyuan to defend the sect. Unexpectedly, you gathered about 200 people, and you came. ”

As he was talking, someone suddenly came from outside to report.

"My lord, so the Guan army has arrived!"
