The Golden Age Chapter 745: Loyalty Army
Qin Xiao naturally knows nothing about what happened to the Wujian Pawnshop, but he knows the situation in Suzhou City very well.
Although Suzhou Assassin Pan Weixing was guilty of oversight of the Suzhou Rebellion, he still needs him to maintain order in Suzhou. After all, whether the Taihu Army or the Hangzhou Battalion can annihilate the rebels in the city. , But there is no experience in governance. To calm down the people and stabilize the city of Suzhou as soon as possible, it still needs Pan Weixing to come forward in person.
After Suzhou City was retaken, for five consecutive days, messengers came to Shuning City to deliver letters every day.
Suzhou did not welcome Musk Moon immediately, and Musk Moon was not in a hurry.
The house hasn't been cleaned yet. When the cleaning is almost done, Suzhou City will be completely stabilized, and it will not be too late to set off for Suzhou City.
Moreover, there have been a lot of affairs in Shuning City in the past few days.
After several fights, the corpses outside the city are like a mountain, and the weather is already hot. If the corpses cannot be buried quickly, a plague will inevitably occur. So the first important thing is to deal with the corpses of both sides who died in the battle.
Neither the Taihu Army nor the Left Army under Yu Wencheng Dynasty entered the city, but stationed outside the city.
For Zuo Jun, things are naturally far more than the Taihu Army.
Musk Yue has ordered that in the left army, the black belts that have been forced to each can receive some food and coils. After registration, they will return home on their own.
When Qian Guiting led the troops to Shuning, he brought a large amount of grain and grass. After the grain and grass were seized by the Taihu Army, some of them were left behind, and the rest were transported to the city. The grain was distributed to soldiers returning home. But it is more than enough.
But Musk also ordered at the same time that if she is willing to stay, the court will also make arrangements, but the specific arrangements have not been clearly stated.
Most of the soldiers were naturally not interested in staying. They took their things and sent them back to their hometowns. In just three days, there were tens of thousands of soldiers on the left, and in the end only less than 5,000 people were left. Most of them were the old red belts. .
The title of Zuojun has also been abolished, and it is temporarily called the "loyal and brave army". Originally, so many red belts were retained. Sheyue had also negotiated with Qin Xiao and Yuwen Chengchao many times. After all, these people had suffered before. Bewitched, if you are provoked again in the future to cause backlash, it will definitely be a big trouble.
However, putting these believers who were poisoned by the Queen Mother Association back, scattered all over Suzhou, is even more of a hidden danger.
Qin Xiao, as the most trusted courtier next to Sheyue, actively advises and retains the loyal army and is temporarily led by Yuwen Chengchao.
In this counter-insurgency, Yuwen Chengchao was courageous and strategic, and made great contributions. She Yue appreciates such talents very much, and Yuwen Chengchao is also loyal to herself this time. She was thinking about it. After vigorously supporting, since Qin Xiao suggested that Yuwen Chengchao lead the loyal army, Musk Yue naturally would not object, but Yuwen Chengchao was willing to take the lead.
This battle not only annihilated the Suzhou battalion, but also seized a large amount of food and received a good harvest. In addition, the hundreds of horses of the Suzhou battalion cavalry, except for a very small part of the horses, were left on the battlefield, but there were still nearly 500 horses. These war horses are pure-bred northern prairie horses. Each batch is of great value. In addition, the armor of the Suzhou battalion cavalry has also been stripped off. After all, the value of a set of armor is much higher than that of a war horse. War horses and armors were temporarily collected in the city and stockpiled.
The Taihu Army and the Zuo Army both made contributions in this battle. Although Musk has rewarded him, the official warehouse in Shuning City did not have much coffers. The previous batch of black waists
To bring the head of the person carrying the red belt to receive the reward, or to allocate the silver donated by the rich in the city as a reward.
As for the reward, we can only wait to return to Suzhou City before making a decision.
Under the sunset, Yu Wen Chengchao was outside the city, sitting outside the loyal army camp, looking at the sunset with a calm expression.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, a person sat down beside him, and Yu Wencheng turned his head to look at it, but it was Zhao Shengtai.
Zhao Shengtai was sent to Suzhou City before, but did not come to Shuning City with Qian Guiting’s team. Instead, he returned directly to Huqiu City and found that the main force of the left army had been mobilized to the front. When he came to Shu Ning to rendezvous, it was only when he arrived, Zuo Jun had become a loyal army.
The main force of the loyal army is actually the group of Wen Rengui, and Zhao Shengtai's prestige in this group is second only to Wen Rengui.
"Uncle Zhao!" Yu Wencheng glanced towards him.
Zhao Shengtai looked at the sunset, was silent for a moment, and finally asked: "Where did he go?"
Yuwen Chengchao naturally knew who the "he" was in Zhao Shengtai's mouth, and did not answer immediately. He also watched the sunset and said after a while: "Uncle Zhao, I want to ask a question."
"Say it!"
"If he stays, what will we end up?" Yuwen Chengchao slowly said: "Will the saint clear up his previous suspicions and no longer be held accountable for your past guilt?"
Zhao Shengtai sneered and said: "She naturally hopes that we are all crushed."
"They made great contributions to the suppression of the chaos this time. Such contributions are enough for the princess to fight for pardon for them in the court." Yu Wencheng said in the court: "But if Wen Rengui stays, even if the princess is sheltered, he will still Can't let the court take it lightly."
Zhao Shengtai groaned slightly before nodding and saying: "Yes. Wen Shishi raised his army back then, with great momentum, and was eventually executed by Ling Chi. Wen Rengui is his son, and the court will not let him go after all."
"So as long as he exists, the princess doesn't even know how to shelter." Yuwen Chengchao sighed: "His situation is different from yours. You are implicated. Even the remnants of the Qingzhou Army are only accomplices who are ordered to act. So the princess can fight for forgiveness for you."
Zhao Shengtai frowned and said: "We have followed him for many years and we live and die together. Even if the court does not forgive us, we will advance and retreat together."
"What should Qingqing do?" Yuwen Chengchao's expression became serious.
Zhao Shengtai was startled.
At that time, academician Zhao Yankuo led a group of ministers to write a letter to prevent Xiahou from ascending the throne, but they were all beaten as rebels, implicated in the five clans, and flowed in blood.
Zhao's bloodline was almost cut off, only Zhao Yankuo and Zhao Qingzhi, who was in the infancy, survived.
At this time, Yu Wen Chengchao mentioned Qing Qing, and Zhao Shengtai became silent.
"Shortly after she was born, she suffered a catastrophe." Yuwen Chengchao looked solemnly: "For the past two decades, she has been detained in the name of the remnants of a criminal minister and never sees the sun. An ordinary girl, in her She is already a husband and a son, and has her own life, but look at what she has done over the years? Follow you to drift away and pretend to be fools in order to develop the congregation, Uncle Zhao, do you want to see her like this?"
Zhao Shengtai's eyes were red, and he sighed: "Why don't I hope she can live in peace and enjoy the happiness of ordinary people? But
..... Zhao's blood and deep hatred fell on me and her. What can we do if we don't do this? "
"The scholar of the University of Zhao is a loyal and upright minister, dedicated to Li Tang." Yu Wencheng said with a serious face: "It is natural to avenge him, but it is more important to clear his grievances and restore his reputation for the rest of his life." /
Zhao Shengtai was taken aback and looked at Yu Wencheng and said: "You are right. My brother is not afraid of death, but he is accused of being convicted. Even if he is dead, he can't look at him."
"Among these people, there are many families who have been wronged by scholars like Zhao Daxue, and there are many descendants of Zhongliang who have not seen the sky like Qingqing." Yuwen Chengchao said calmly: "If you directly confront the court, this is the point. Power is undoubtedly an egg hitting a stone. Not only cannot revenge and hatred, but the reputation of those loyal and good will be difficult to restore."
Zhao Shengtai was silent and did not speak.
"Wen Rengui hopes that everyone has a better path to follow." Yu Wencheng said with a solemn expression: "So when he is leaving, he will hand you over to me and let me take you out of a path. Come. And I promised him that as long as I am still alive, I will restore the reputation of Zhongliang, who was wronged in the past, at all costs."
Zhao Shengtai said sternly: "If I can really take this path, I shall give my full assistance."
"Whether we succeed or not, we should try to go on." Yu Wencheng said: "The previous road has been impassable, so we have to change it."
Zhao Shengtai nodded slightly and asked, "Where did he go?"
"If one day succeeds, I will take you to see him." Yu Wencheng said: "I want to tell him the news personally, I believe he will be very happy then."
Suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes, Yu Wencheng looked up and saw that he was riding a flying horse, but it was a fat fish.
Fat Yu and Yu Wencheng met after the catastrophe, naturally they were all happy.
Wuwen Chengchao dealt with the loyal army in the past two days, but Fat Yu followed the Neku cavalry.
The Neku cavalry was temporarily stationed in the city and became the guard cavalry next to Musk. Fat fish followed the Neku cavalry in the Battle of Funiu Mountain. They killed many enemies, but they have been accepted by the Neku cavalry. The Japanese and Neku cavalry get along very harmoniously.
"Grandpa!" Fat Yu got off his horse and stepped forward quickly.
Yuwen Chengchao stood up and smiled: "Why are you here? Let you temporarily follow Commander Jiang, he is the commander of the Neku cavalry, and has a bright future. Since you have been accepted by him, you can have a good life with him. Future."
"What is the future? When things are over, I will return to you." Fat fish said: "The princess has an order to let you enter the city to discuss matters."
"Oh?"
"Just now, two messengers from Hangzhou were summoned by the princess. They seemed to have reported the affairs of Hangzhou." Fat fish said: "After the princess knew about it, she immediately summoned Master Dong and others, and sent someone to the Taihu Army. I heard Linghuxuan on the side. Master Qin told me to come and call you into the city. Seeing Master Qin’s expression, things seemed very urgent."
Yu Wenchengchao nodded, without saying a word, he led the horse, turned on the horse, and entered the city with the fat fish flying horse.
Chengzhong County Yahoutang, Qin Xiao, Dong Guangxiao and others were talking in low voices. Seeing Yu Wencheng approaching, Qin Xiao immediately came over and said: "There is news from Hangzhou. The Shence Army has entered Hangzhou City. Kill!"
