Chapter 233 Please enter the urn 1

Because it takes a day on the road, on the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, he led 5,000 people to accompany the new governor Li Pu, ready to take office.

For the first time, even Zuo Chengyi Zhe Du, Zhao Lian, and a large group of other provincial officials went to the north gate of Yangzhou City to see them off.

"I'm going to Gaoyou Mansion. I hope you two will live up to the instructions of the province and complete the task." Zhao Lian looked at the two incoming new officials, but he seemed to see the souls who were about to ascend to heaven, and he was a little worried about them.

"Don't worry, please rest assured. On this departure, we must take good care of the Gaoyou Mansion to thank Lord Zuocheng for his promotion and the cultivation of you." He said timidly.

Li Pu's expression was not very happy. Looking at the canal next to him, there was a feeling that "the wind was rustling and the water was cold, and the strong man would never return". He didn't want to go, but there were 5,000 people following him, and it was not as comfortable as staying in his own home.

"My lords, please stay!" Li Pu said gloomyly.

Yan Zhedu nodded with a smile. In the attention of a large group of officials, Li Pu and Xiao Fuhua both rode on the horse, turned the horse's head, and marched north angrily.

"Your Excellency, can they complete the task?" Zhao Lian asked quietly.

"With five thousand elites, if they can't complete the task, then don't come back at all." Yan Zhe Du said it very simply.

"However, last time I was timid to lead 10,000 elites to sneak up on the salt field. As a result, I was constantly disturbed. I didn't go out of the Taizhou border for a day and lost a few hundred people. Will the same thing happen this time?" Zhao Linked and said.

"It's impossible. If you don't spend them, they will definitely arrive on time." Zhe Du said confidently.

"Why?"

"At the beginning, Zhang Shicheng fought bravely for himself. Now, the territory is also available, and he is satisfied, isn't he? Otherwise, why did he come to report to us when he beat the Gaoyou House? Although he thought we would appoint him as the governor of Gaoyou, we didn't want to send two more people. Even if Zhang Shicheng was unhappy, he had to pretend to be happy. Zhe Du said. .

He feels that Zhang Shicheng is like a local rich man. As long as he occupies the territory and has a certain power, he will sleep at ease and not have much enterprising at all. It's different from Zhu Yuanzhang's red scarf army. Even if he knew that Zhang Shicheng had done such a big thing as the division of fields, he just thought that it was a direct way to take over the wealth of rich people. The division of fields was just an excuse. Otherwise, how could he copy the homes of so many rich families?

However, Li Pu, who was walking on the road, was not so confident. He had been encouraging timidity and sent more outposts to find out the situation in front of him, but he could not fall into the encirclement for no reason. The sharp sound of fire was an inexhaustible shadow in his heart.

The speed of the cavalry is not very fast.

"Brother, the troops in Yangzhou have been dispatched." In Gaoyou Mansion, Zhang Yang has been rewarded by the spies of the fast horse news. In the north of Yangzhou, about 5,000 cavalry troops marched to Gaoyou Mansion, because there were many sentries on the other side, and they did not find out clearly. I don't know if they intended to invade Gaoyou Mansion.

"Go and explore again." Zhang Yang said.

A few days ago, after returning to Xinghua settled down, Zhang Yang went straight to Gaoyou Mansion, because he heard that Yangzhou was going to send a new Fuyin and Dalu Huachi to come over, and Zhang Yang had to make full preparations to "welcome" them.

"Brother, are these 5,000 cavalry troops attacking us?" Lu Zhen asked. If they dare to step into the Gaoyou Mansion, we will destroy them all!"

After defeating Gaoyou Mansion, Shi Yi and Lv Zhen's troops were stationed in Gaoyou Mansion, and Bian Yuanheng's troops were stationed outside the city to defend Gaoyou Lake. Now, the team in Gaoyou Mansion has two battalions of Shiyi and Lv Zhen, eight hundred-person troops, and the remaining two guards in the salt field. When Zhang Yang came, he brought two base battalions from Xinghua, and Bian Yuanheng's troops outside the city were only 1,500.

If it is other Red Turban Army, this 1,500-strong army is definitely not worth mentioning, and it is not enough for these 5,000 tar cavalry to plug their teeth. However, the combat effectiveness of Zhang Shicheng's troops has long spread throughout the province. No one dares to underestimate their combat effectiveness. It is easy for a team of 1,500 people to ambush the 5,000 cavalry.

"Don't be impulsive." Shi Yi said, "It is unwise to ambush the enemy blindly before you find out the purpose of the enemy's action."

"Lord, if I think it's right, this should be the new Fuyin and Dalu Huachi who came to Gaoyou Mansion." Shi Nai'an said.

The new Fuyin and Dalu Huachi? Then they are too splatoon, aren't they? Forget it when they take office, and there are still 5,000 Tutar cavalry to see them off? Are they really self-aware and afraid of losing their lives on the way to office?

"It's really possible." Zhang Yang said, "So, what we need to confirm now is whether the 5,000 tar cavalry are here to see them off, or are they sent by the province to prepare to be stationed in Gaoyou Mansion?"

Everyone's hearts are sinking. This is a very troublesome problem. If you want to see them off, you will go back after sending them off. But if it is sent to be stationed in Gaoyou Prefecture, it will be troublesome. How to deal with these 5,000 cavalry troops? Everyone is not afraid of the war, but what should they do if these 5,000 cavalry troops come to do a sabotage? After all, the number of opponents has an advantage. If they really do something secretly, it's really difficult to control.

"Report!" This time, it was a spy lurking in Yangzhou City.

"What's the news?"

"Big brother, the province has sent the new Gaoyoufu Yin Lipu and Daluhua to come to Gaoyoufu with 5,000 cavalry. In the morning, a large number of officials from the province also sent them off." Because I had to run from Yangzhou City, I came later than the spies who just found the news on the way.

"What is the history of these 5,000 troops?" Zhang Yang asked, this is what everyone is most concerned about at present.

"It was sent to garrison the Gaoyou Mansion." The spy said.

"Are you sure about the message?" Shi Nai'an asked.

"I'm sure. Last night in the restaurant, I saw a few drunken tar centurion who said that they didn't want to go to Gaoyou Mansion. I didn't want to go back or anything. I followed them for a long time and saw them entering the timid military camp. This morning, I saw the scene outside the North Gate. Knowing that the matter was urgent, I immediately I'm here."

"Well, go down and rest, and then go back to Yangzhou. If there is any situation, return it as soon as possible." Zhang Yang said.

The spies went down, but several generals frowned.

Zhang Yang looked at Lv Zhen, Shi Yi and Bian Yuanheng. That expression was as if he was about to be anniiled. What's wrong? Why are you so sad?

"Brother, how can we deal with these 5,000 people?" Shi Yi asked.

"Mr. Shi, what do you think we should do?" Zhang Yang turned his head and asked Shi Nai'an, who was shaking the fan behind him. The cold wind kept swishing behind his neck, and he had to stand forward and talk for a while.

"We can't fight these 5,000 people." Shi Nai'an said, "We are still from the court now. We play Gaoyou Mansion, which is the banner of suppressing the rebellion, but we can't say that the new troops are also anti-thieves, can we? In terms of reason, we can't make sense.

That's need to say! Several people thought of it. Fortunately, there is no Tanghe, otherwise the word "nonsense" will definitely pop out of Tanghe's mouth, and the Shixin, who has no mouth, is not there.

"At the same time, we can't let these 5,000 people go in Gaoyou Mansion. Although we have advanced weapons, we can't supervise so many people at the same time. In Gaoyou Mansion, if they want to do something behind their backs, we can't respond in time, and we are likely to suffer losses."

"What should we do?" Bian Yuanheng asked.

"It's in the loft." Shi Nai'an said.

Shut up the pavilion? Everyone is rude, "What do you mean?"

"It's just to tie them up and put them high." Zhang Yang said that this is the only way at present.

Everyone shook their heads and didn't understand. How to tie them all up?

"In fact, the arrival of these five thousand tars is not necessarily a bad thing for us." Zhang Yang said, "First, these 5,000 tars are all cavalry, which is equivalent to giving us 5,000 war horses for free. With these horses, we can form several cavalry units."

Everyone nodded. Those people were worthless, but the horses were very valuable. Moreover, in the current situation, even if they were rich, it was impossible to buy a large number of war horses. The tars sent 5,000 war horses for free, which was enough to turn all the current troops into cavalry. For this point, I have to thank the province. It's really for everyone!

Thinking of this, the sad face was already happy.

"Second, these 5,000 people are still hostages once we turn against each other." Zhang Yang continued, "The province sent us these 5,000 people, which is equivalent to giving us 5,000 hostages. In case the tars use force on us, we can click all these people."

Everyone can't agree with this. If they are really put into the city, it's not sure who is the hostage.

"Shiyi, Lv Zhen, your troops are still stationed in the barracks, right?" Zhang Yang asked.

"That's right, big brother." The two replied.

"After the meeting, you immediately withdraw the troops from the barracks, and the barracks are reserved for the new tars."

The two of them are a little reluctant. In this winter, do you let our people sleep on the street? However, the two did not speak. The eldest brother's words were orders, which should be strictly implemented.

"I know you two don't want to. The barracks are reserved for the Tatar cavalry, so you two have to organize troops overnight and transform the general camp."

Transform it? The two opened their eyes wide: "Brother, what's the transformation?"

"Like the military camp in Taizhou, dig a trench outside the military camp, thorns, traps, and arrange as much as you can. Except for the gate of the main gate, which can only accommodate five people in parallel, all other places have to become impassable blockade lines."

No matter how stupid people are, when they hear this, they can also guess what Zhang Yang means. The typical thing is to close the door and beat the dog. As long as they coax the Tatar cavalry into the barracks, they will enter the sheep pen. If they think of it again, it will not be so easy.

In their eyes, there was a gloating smile, as if they had seen that five thousand tar soldiers had become lambs slaughtered by others.

"You people, leave a part to guard the gate to prevent the tars from escaping, and the other part, go to the head of the city to guard the whole city. Yuan Heng's people still patrol Gaoyou Lake." Zhang Yang said.

"Brother, I'm afraid we don't have enough troops to divide the troops like this." Shi Yi said, after all, the number of people is limited and the strength is not strong enough.

"Tang and the four battalions of training are almost done. I will send someone to take over three of them and integrate them into your three battalions, so that you can add another 500 people in each battalion. Is that enough?" Zhang Yang said.

"Enough, of course, that's enough." The three of them said together.

New recruits who have not been to the battlefield do not have much combat effectiveness. Zhang Yang let these people be included in the existing battalions, so that the veterans can lead the new soldiers and better improve the overall combat effectiveness.

"In addition, building a special horse farm outside the city, 5,000 horses, is not a small number." Zhang Yang then added. It's getting late. Let's go back and get ready quickly!"

When everyone left, Shi Nai'an then said to Zhang Yang, "Lord, if we do this, will the province increase its guard against us?"

"Even if we don't do this, won't the provincial capital beware of us?" Zhang Yang said, "The peace between us and the province is false and can't stand any test, because our fundamental position is different. We now just want to accumulate strength and temporarily avoid the edge. If we don't do this, can we still hand over the power of Gaoyoufu? Even if we agree, will the people who have divided the fields agree?

"The lord is wise" Shi Naian said. The lord is very confident, because these thousands of troops can only be seen on the surface. Once you really live and die, the people who have divided the land will stand behind Zhang Yang without hesitation and become a strong backing.

"So tomorrow, will the new Fu Yin and Da Lu Hua Chi be fooled?"

"That depends on our sincerity. I believe that sincerity is spiritual. As long as they are moved by my sincerity, they will definitely go in obediently." Zhang Yang said.

The east gradually turned white, the power was blowing gently, and the sun slowly jumped out of the gray horizon. Half of the purple-red flames lit up the dim sky. Behind the bright morning glow, it seemed to stretch out an endless blue satin.

At the south gate of Gaoyou Mansion, a large group of people have gathered at this moment. They are lined up in two neat lines, anxiously looking at the horizon in the distance.

Finally, a team of people appeared on the horizon, all of whom were cavalry, and the bright flags were floating in the middle of the cavalry.

"Report, there is a large group of people gathered at the gate of Gaoyoufu in front of you." The sentry in the front came back to report.

Aren't you going to destroy us under the city? Li Pu thought to himself that the other party was condescending at the head of the city, which was a good opportunity to gather and anniverge. Along the way, he has been uneasy, but he has not encountered any disturbance. Li Pu is more and more convinced that there is a bigger conspiracy waiting for them.

He looked up and could already see those hazy figures from afar, lined up as a welcoming guard of honor. He smiled and said, "It's really interesting. I know we're coming, but we are welcome at the gate." He patted the horse and quickly walked to the front of the team.

"General, don't be afraid!" Li Pu had no choice but to follow forward.

"Bang, bang!" Suddenly, in the crowd in front of him, there was a series of pop-like sounds. Li Pu was shocked and subconsciously pulled out his horse and ran back.

"They are putting on firecrackers to welcome us!" He said that he had seen that on both sides of the crowd, two high-rise bamboo poles were picked out. At the top of the bamboo pole, the firecrackers were crackling, and there were repeated green smoke.

Li Pu then raised his head and looked into the distance. Sure enough, he was firing a firecracker, which scared him.

Are they welcoming this? Li Pu still couldn't believe it. To put it bluntly, the province sent himself to seize power. Can the other party still welcome him?

Since you're here, you can't look too ashamed, can you? Li Pu also drove forward, together with timid flowers, to the head of the team, walked forward, and walked towards the unknown fate.

"Yin and Zhang Shicheng of Xinghua County and Yin of Taizhou Prefecture are here to wait for Lord Li, the governor of Gaoyou, and General Daluhua!" In front of the team, a stout young man said loudly to the people. He was full of confidence and thick in five tones, and Li Pu and timid could hear it clearly.

Is the person in front of Zhang Shicheng? Li Pu couldn't believe that Zhang Shicheng could come to greet them in person? Li Pudu was ready to close the door after entering the Gaoyou Mansion. Unexpectedly, Zhang Shicheng could come to greet him in person.

In this case, it can't be rude. Although it is two levels larger than Zhang Shicheng's official position, Li Pu also stepped forward with timidly and stepped forward one after another.

"Oh, it's really made Lord Zhang wait for a long time. Why wait here in such a cold weather? Isn't it okay to hand it over after arriving at the government office?" Li Pu said the word " handover" with great heart.

"It's rare for Lord Zhang to come to greet him in person, which shows that Lord Zhang attaches great importance to the province." He also said that he used to be an enemy, but now he still has to live on his face. The timidity emphasizes the province. He is reminding Zhang Shicheng in front of him not to think that he can do whatever he wants. Your superiors are still under pressure, and the two of us are under pressure. If you dare to do anything wrong, the tens of thousands of elite troops in the province are all prepared in Yangzhou.

"After getting the official document that the two adults to be appointed by the province, Shicheng is waiting here every day, looking forward to welcoming the arrival of the two adults as soon as possible. The anti-thieves of Gaoyou House have all been taken down by Shicheng. The thief You Hadan Battle has also been Fufa, but the former Lord Li Qi, oh, you died unjustly!" Speaking of this, Zhang Yang was already a little choked, as if Li Qi had a great relationship with him.

Hearing Zhang Yang's words, if it hadn't been for the wary, Li Pu would have been moved. It's really gratifying to have such deep feelings for the in office of Lord Li!

"Thanks to Lord Zhang's ability to subdue the anti-thieves in time, Gaoyoufu survived the crisis safely." Li Pu also echoed and said that in fact, everyone knows what's going on.

"Bre here!" Zhang Yang waved to the person behind him.

The man behind him, holding a plate and covering a piece of red cloth, came over slowly.

"What is it?" Li Pu asked.

"The seal and household register of Gaoyou Mansion." Zhang Yang said.
