Chapter 178: No Reward for High Achievement
The catapult began to roar, and the scream of the crossbow resounded throughout the audience. Under the leadership of Gu Changwei, five hundred veterans from Liaoxi County rushed to Langya City, and the ladders were erected again. Attached, the sound of shouting and killing is deafening
As soon as the drum beat, Gu Changwei erected the ladder
After the second drum beat, Gu Changwei climbed to the top of the ladder
When the third round of war drums was still beating crazily, Gu Changwei had already jumped onto the city wall, behind him, the veterans roared to follow, and in an instant, a gap had been opened on the city wall
Zhang Shouyue nodded and smiled in satisfaction. When Gu Changwei rushed to the top of the city, thousands of Liaoxi soldiers rushed up as the second batch. When Gu Changwei stood firm on the top of the city, Langya City was already in his pocket thing
On November 1st, Langya City was destroyed, and all 3,186 members of the Linghu Clan under Linghu Qingyuan were executed. The Linghu Ancestral Hall in the city was destroyed, and the Linghu Clan died
The city was full of mourners, and the troops from the four major counties entered the city. Langya City, which used to be second only to Jicheng in prosperity, fell into dire straits in an instant.
Zhang Shouyue ignored the chaos outside at all, his army entered the city first, and had already occupied the prefect's mansion of Langya City and the Linghu Clan's ancestral mansion. If he ate meat, others would have to drink some soup. At that time, he was sitting in the middle of the lobby of the Linghu Clan's Clan Mansion. This seat had always belonged to Linghu Chao. When Linghu Chao was in Jicheng, it was always vacant, but now, Zhang Shouyue was comfortable. Lying on it, looking around this ridiculously large hall
For more than ten years, Dayan's first family has been in charge of Dayan's actual power. Just like that, it disappeared and became a stepping stone for me and others
"Lord Prefect" Gu Changwei walked in hastily. "I have seen the prefect"
"Well, what's the matter, Chang Wei, in such a hurry?" Glancing at Gu Changwei, Zhang Shouyue pointed to a chair at the bottom, "Sit down, it's hard work, is the injury okay?"
Zhang Shouyue has always given face to the leaders of his subordinates
"A small injury. It's not worth mentioning!" Gu Changgu grinned and laughed, "I really didn't expect that I will soon be disarmed and return to the field, and I can go to the battlefield with the prefect again, and fight a battle happily, refreshingly."
"Disarmed and returned to the fields?" Zhang Shouyue laughed, "It's early. Chang Wei, if you want to be disarmed and return to the fields, I have to agree!"
"The last general is getting old, and it's really not enough to wield a knife and use a gun." Gu Changwei sat down with a bang
Zhang Shouyue smiled,
He waved his hand and skipped the topic, "What did you want to say just now?"
"It's very chaotic outside. The troops in Yuyang, Hejian, and Kaiping counties are a bit outrageous. They burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of crimes. Prefect, do you want us to stop it?" Gu Changwei spread his hands. "The clansmen of the Linghu Clan have almost been hunted down, but they still use this banner, and almost all the wealthy people in Langya City have been robbed."
"Did they provoke us?" Zhang Shouyue asked calmly
"No." Gu Changwei snorted, "They have to have the guts too."
"What do they do, what does it have to do with us?" Zhang Shouyue laughed. He, the leader of the personal army, was just like himself. , we occupied the prefect's mansion and Linghu's ancestral hall, and the benefits have already been taken. If we don't allow others to drink some soup, wouldn't it be too much to offend people?"
"Why are those people guilty?" Gu Changwei said dissatisfiedly, "Do you want to suffer such a crime?"
"Their crime is because they were born in Langya City!" Zhang Shouyue said indifferently, "We can't control this matter, and we can't control it. Just wait and see, if Langya City is robbed, these people will hunt them down. In the name of the Linghu tribe, spread to all directions, and then go to plunder the ready-made advantage, how can it be unreasonable to take advantage of it?"
"Go downstairs to grab it?" Gu Changwei asked in surprise
"Naturally, if Langya County is not tossed back for more than ten years, it won't be over." Zhang Shouyue sneered, "Anyway, Langya County won't fall into our hands in the end, and that's not what I'm asking for. As for him, to offend the three counties for this is too uneconomical."
"The prefect is right!" Gu Changwei sat down sullenly.
"In the past two days, you should bring our belongings back to Liaoxi County with someone. The wealth of the Linghu family is beyond my expectation. To be honest, even if the imperial court does not grant me the feudalization of Liaoxi, the wealth I get will be worthless." It's enough to make up for my loss!" Zhang Shouyue laughed haha
"Prefect, we have to go back as soon as possible. The Liaoxi side is really worrying." Gu Changwei nodded repeatedly
"Chang Wei, you have been with me for decades, I ask you something, you can't hide it, just say it straight!" Zhang Shouyue looked at the other party and asked
"Just ask the eunuch, when did I hide it in front of the eunuch?" Gu Changwei laughed
"A few days ago, you also knew about the report sent by Shubao. What do you think of it?"
"General Shubao sent Gao Yuan to attack Yulin?" Gu Changwei rubbed his head, "Although it is whimsical, if it succeeds, it will be a miracle. At least this year, we don't have to worry about the Donghu people's attack. The little general dares to attack." If you dare to do it, Chang Wei admires him more than the eunuch, I think the little general sent that Gao Yuan to the tiger's mouth this time, and he will never come back, didn't the eunuch admire this little guy all the time?"
Zhang Shouyue smiled slightly. Gu Changwei didn't have much thoughtfulness. There were so many connotations in this matter. He couldn't imagine that Shubao had always been so obedient and obedient that he even hid it from himself. When I went out to host a party, I immediately revealed the little tail hidden in the clothes. After all, I was a little younger, so I couldn’t hold back.
"Jun Bao or Shu Bao, which one do you prefer?" Zhang Shouyue changed the question
Gu Changwei was stunned, "The eldest son and the younger son are both the sons of the prefect, I like them both!"
Zhang Shouyue tilted his head, looked at Gu Changwei, and Gu Changwei smiled embarrassedly, "Of course, the young master still has the same temperament as me. Some big princes make up, and if they say it, there are seven or eight out of ten sentences I don't agree with." Understand"
Zhang Shouyue nodded, that's exactly what happened. I think Huang Desheng pulled Shu Bao over in the same way! If Lu Hong is added, if you think about it carefully, Shubao has unknowingly already weaved a huge force, and all of them are all strong soldiers in the army. This matter is his own mistake
Thinking about it now, I really hope that Gao Yuan will fail and die on the side of the Donghu people. In this way, Lu Hong will inevitably vent his anger on Shu Bao, and he will naturally get closer to Jun Bao. guessed
The family has a big business and a lot of troubles. Zhang Shouyue is over sixty, so naturally he has to consider the issue of heirs, and he has indeed started to deal with this issue very early. He used to be complacent and foresighted. Now it seems that, But it was self-defeating. In the future, this matter will definitely give me a headache
he heaved a long sigh
How did Gu Changwei know that Zhang Shouyue had thought about so many things at once, looked at him, and asked, "Prefect, when are you going back to Liaoxi? You have to go back and preside over the overall situation."
"Hurry up, when the people from Jicheng come, I can go back. Before that, you and Zhang Zhuo can go back first. The troops don't have to enter Liaoxi City, and go directly to Fufeng," Zhang Shouyue said
"Prefect, what are you still doing here?"
"What are you doing? Divide up the spoils!" Zhang Shouyue laughed loudly. In front of Gu Changwei, he was the most relaxed, and he had no scruples in speaking.
"Divide the spoils?" Gu Changwei was stunned at first, and then he grinned loudly, "We have made a lot of money, the prefect said so, but can we still divide a large piece of land in Langya County?"
"Land?" Zhang Shouyue sneered, "Those three families definitely want it. Langya is fertile and densely populated. Duandi is a good place, but I don't want it. Langya County was originally a fief of the Ye family. Now I want to come here." , I have to return it to their family. Even if I can get a piece now, I don’t know when in the future, I will have to spit out the money and profits. I won’t do such a thing. What I want is another thing.”
"Prefect, overjoyed, overjoyed!" Outside the door, Zhang Zhuo was full of joy, and quickly ran in, "Overjoyed, prefect!"
"What made you so happy?" Zhang Shouyue asked strangely. Zhang Zhuo was his general, and he valued him more than Huang Desheng. It was rare that he couldn't restrain his emotions.
"People from Donghu have no chance to attack us in western Liaoning this year!" Zhang Zhuo said beamingly
Zhang Shouyue's eyelids twitched, "You mean Gao Yuan successfully attacked Yulin?"
"Successful!" Zhang Zhuo laughed and said, "Donghu General Tirasu, who has been pressing down on the border of Fufeng, suddenly pulled out his camp and retreated, but he didn't expect that the second son had been watching him all the time, and he had already made arrangements. The second son assembled With the troops of the headquarters, plus the victorious general and Gao Yuan's Fufeng pawns, more than 5,000 people, when Tirasu retreated, he attacked aggressively and won a complete victory. Tirasu fled in embarrassment, and more importantly, , the second son captured a Donghu general, and learned from him the reason for Tirasu's sudden retreat. It turned out that Gao Yuan's Qingqi assault was nearly a thousand miles away, and he actually set fire to the large logistics camp built by the Donghu people in Yulin. It became a white ground, and the Donghu people's plan to attack us had to come to a standstill. At least within a year or two, they would not be able to gather so much food and supplies. Gao Yuan is really powerful, no wonder the prefect Your Excellency, you have been full of praise for him."
Zhang Shouyue felt mixed feelings, "Gao Yuan...has he come back alive?"
"It's not clear yet that Gao Yuan still has to make a detour when he returns to the army. The Donghu people will not let him come back so peacefully along the way. I have to hear about him for a while, but in my opinion, Gao Yuan will definitely I will return to Fufeng safely, prefect, Gao Yuan has made a great contribution this time," Zhang Zhuo said excitedly
"Yes, he has made a great contribution, and I don't know how to reward him!" Zhang Shouyue sighed
Hearing this, Zhang Zhuo couldn't help but froze.
