Chapter 159: The Marquis of Chu (I)

chūn chu xiǎo rain, exceptionally cold.

It was originally the season of the rain in xiǎo, and it was raining at this time, continuously, but with the residual cold of winter, the cold was blowing through the xiǎo wind, and it drilled into the human bones one by one.

In the afternoon, the rain first stops, and the sky is clear after the rain.

Lu Yiù arrived on horseback, and at a glance, the valley was full of large corpses, and it was obvious that the last battle after the capture of Changsha had ended.

The bloody breath was so strong that a civilian official who often went out with the army couldn't help frowning slightly.

But soon, his brow furrowed.

Among the corpses on the ground, there were obviously many fewer soldiers on his side, and sure enough, the result of the battle was still good, he thought to himself.

Now that the killing is over, only those who clean up the battlefield remain.

I don't know where the big marshal who watched the battle went?

His eyes searched.

Since the battle had just ended, although not many of the sergeants on his side died, there was still a tragic atmosphere on the entire battlefield, and the aura of slaughter was especially heavy on the body of every soldier who could stand up.

"Who are you waiting for?" Several people who were obviously officers walked over, and saw the soldiers behind Lu Yiù, dressed up, who should be from his own battalion, but out of caution, one of the officers still asked.

Looking at the few people in front of him who had some broken wounds, Lu yù didn't speak, but directly took out a yù card from his arms and shook it in front of them.

"It turned out to be an adult, I've seen an adult!" Several people who recognized the class and meaning of this yù card all saluted Lu yù on the horse.

Lu Yù is a civil official, but his official position is not low, and he is a middle-level official, and in terms of the current territory, he is already a middle-level official, and these ordinary officers naturally dare not offend such a civilian official.

"Where is Dashuai now?" Lu Yù asked.

"My lord, the marshal is patrolling the valley. An officer replied, "Mark it and I'll take you there." ”

So Lu yù did not delay any longer, and continued to urge the horse to go into the valley.

Along the way, the tragic post-war scene made Lu Yù, a civil official, constantly tumble in his stomach. Behind him, several of the soldiers in the Yamén who accompanied him were also pale.

They are from the countryside, and even if their skills are good, they still rarely see this kind of scene.

Lu yù walked inward, while holding back the hope of vomiting. As a civil official, he traveled all the way, and it was a rare thing to see these corpses that died in a tragic state, but he hadn't spit them out before he saw Zheng Pingyuan.

Lu yù strangled the horse under his crotch, although he had already seen Zheng Pingyuan resting over there from a long distance, but if he wanted to see Zheng Pingyuan here, he still needed to pass on the report.

Seeing that the guards had already walked to Zheng Pingyuan's side, as he spoke, he turned back and pointed in his direction.

Immediately, Zheng Pingyuan's eyes also fell on this side.

Lu yù knew that the lord had already seen himself.

After a while, the guard walked back: "Dashuai let you pass." ”

"Thank you. Nodding to the other party, Lu Yù led the horse and walked towards where Zheng Pingyuan was standing.

Zheng Pingyuan was wearing a suit of armor, looking majestic, and he couldn't see the usual family style at all.

At this time, Zheng Pingyuan was more like a general.

Standing beside Zheng Pingyuan is Zheng Pingyuan's henchman Ji Gui, and there is another person, but it is a newcomer, both of them are civil officials, but their temperament is obviously different.

Ji Gui is a cautious person who is calculating, but this person has a calm demeanor, a demeanor like a child of a big clan, and an elegant and indifferent temperament, which is obvious even on the battlefield.

Even Lu Yù, who thinks he has a good temperament and demeanor, can't help but admire in his heart.

At this time, the three of them saw him and turned their eyes to him at the same time.

Even Lu Yù couldn't help but take a deep breath and continue to step forward.

Surrounded by a group of sergeants, Zheng Pingyuan was patrolling the battlefield, and suddenly received a report that it was a confidant Wenchen who stayed in the camp and brought someone to find him, and it was naturally impossible for Zheng Pingyuan not to see him.

"Lu yù, meet the lord. Lu yù turned over and bowed down.

Zheng Pingyuan's face was calm, and he could see that the recent battles had made this person from a family more profound and heavy.

The murderous aura on his body became more and more intense, matching Zheng Pingyuan's own temperament, giving people a sense of majesty.

"Lu Yù, you don't handle official business in the big camp, what are you doing here?" Zheng Pingyuan asked.

"Lord, Lu Yù was in the camp to deal with official business, but suddenly received news that the envoy sent by the imperial court, after passing through Gangneung City, there were soldiers in Sandu, and he was blocked outside the city, and now under the escort of people from Gangneung City, he rushed here, and asked the lord to return to the camp to make plans. Lu Yù replied.

When Zheng Pingyuan heard this, he was slightly stunned: "It's really fast, and it's just the right time, seeing that Changsha is about to fall!"

"Mr. Ji, there's nothing going on here, let's go back!" Zheng Pingyuan said, now it's just a matter of cleaning up the battlefield, as soon as Zheng Pingyuan's words came out, Ji Gui responded: "No!"

In the temporary camp, there was a tent, which was surrounded by several teams of soldiers, patrolling and watching.

Inside the tent, there was silence.

Those who don't know think there is no one in the tent.

In fact, there were several people who were staying in the tent at this time.

Sitting was a person with a calm face and a medium build, about forty years old, looking like an official, with a five-grade official uniform on his body, and behind him, there were several people who looked like pro-soldiers, wearing Wu Jun military uniforms.

There were a lot of people outside, but a few people inside the tent didn't show any panic or fear.

The middle-aged man led by him was quietly distracted, this time he brought the holy decree and envoys, and the task was to issue it, and cooperate with Zheng Pingyuan, of course, the most important mission was to obtain Jiangling City.

As long as Gangneung City is obtained, the sailors of the Wu army will come over.

Outside the tent, at a distance, there was a group of soldiers who were also resting, but there were only about 500 people, none of them were Wu soldiers, they were Gangneung City's own army.

At this time, someone came over on horseback, came to them, and asked these people, "You are from Jingzhou? Who is the leader of the team, and the commander wants to see you." ”

"The last will be. A square-faced man stood up, saluted the man on the horse, and said, "The last general is the guard, and these are the soldiers of the guard." ”

"Okay, come with me alone, the big man is waiting in the tent over there to ask you. Seeing that it was a guard, the person on the horse did not dare to slack off, returned a salute, and then said.

The square-faced man then followed him to an ordinary-looking tent, waited outside the tent, and after being allowed to do so, stepped into the tent.

As soon as you enter, a faint fragrance rushes to your face, which is often used by large families to smoke the aroma of the room, which is not very pungent.

The layout around is very simple, but everything has a taste.

"The last general has seen the handsome!" Although I haven't seen Zheng Pingyuan so closely, the people standing in the corner of the tent are all guards, and there is only one person sitting at the top, if this person is not Zheng Pingyuan, who will it be?

Immediately he stepped forward and gave a military salute, and fell to the ground and did not dare to raise his head.

"You escorted the imperial envoy here?" Zheng Pingyuan asked lightly, his voice was not loud, but with majesty.

The square-faced man only glanced upward, then hurriedly lowered his head, didn't even dare to raise his head at this time, and replied respectfully: "Great handsome, it was the humble leader who sent the imperial envoy here." ”

"Tell me about the situation!"

"Yes, the angel came with five thousand people from Sandu, and there was a seventeenth ship, which was intercepted outside the city, and Lord Zhang and the angel came by boat, and we waited with the army. ”

Zheng Pingyuan asked some more things and nodded: "That's it, you can retreat first." ”

"No. ”

"Go, invite Mr. Zhang here. After a while, Zheng Pingyuan met with a personal general, who was the person who accompanied him to see King Wu, and then commanded left and right.

Immediately have a personal guard to carry out the mission.

In the time when the other party had not been brought, Zheng Pingyuan thought a lot.

Since the imperial court has sent an envoy over, it is presumable that Mr. Zhang's proposal has come true.

Although the imperial court has existed in name only, it still makes Zheng Pingyuan look forward to it.

After a while, footsteps were heard.

First, the guards came in to report, and then, Zhang Yu came over, Zheng Pingyuan hurriedly traveled, and greeted him at the tent, saying, "Mr. Zhang has worked hard." ”

The corners of Zhang Yu's eyes twitched slightly, and he smiled: "My lord, the minister has fulfilled his mission, but he has achieved it." ”

According to the reason, the angel must be greeted first, but the court exists in name only, this is something that all the princes in the world know, in this case, it is more important to see their own messenger.

"How's that going?"

"The imperial court sent a special envoy Han Yi to come, and the holy decree was already known, that is, to canonize the lord as the Marquis of Chu and the governor of Jingnan, and the angel held the festival to supervise the surrender of all counties...... The minister and the king of Wu reached an agreement, and the six counties of Jingnan had four counties, so they moved to Jiangling - the minister made an assertion and asked the lord to surrender his guilt. ”

Zheng Pingyuan stared at him and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang's move is very pleasing to his heart, what is the crime?"

The will to crown himself as the Marquis of Chu, Zheng Pingyuan is still happy in his heart, the Marquis of Chu is more justifiable than the governor of Jingnan, but Zheng Pingyuan was only slightly happy, and then returned to normal, took Zhang Yu's hand and said: "Mr. came back just in time, Changsha struggled to death, sent troops to attack, was surrounded and eliminated by our army, and now the city is basically empty, and it can be captured in less than three days." ”

He also said: "The loss is not xiǎo, but in the end, it is the most difficult bone to gnaw, and it is much easier to have the remaining four counties, this is all the work of Qing!"

At this time, the holy decree arrived, which had a great effect on the subsequent pacification of Jingnan.
