Chapter 117: Re-Entering Liaoxi City

Unlike the first time they came to Liaoxi City, which was deserted and deserted, and no one greeted them, this time, when Lu Hong and Gao Yuan entered the city, Liaoxi City was full of fanfare. Zhang Shubao and Huang Desheng led a large team of people at the gate of the city. Noisily greeted the convoy from Fufeng.

This time, the team coming from Fufeng can be regarded as mighty and mighty. Not to mention anything else, just the two hundred high-quality war horses are enough to attract the attention of countless people. Seeing so many war horses at once is very important for Liaoxi City. For the soldiers and civilians, it is not so easy. Liaoxi City is too Zhang Shouyue. There are 3,000 elite soldiers under the command of Lord Shouyue, but there is not a single organized cavalry. Not to mention that in the middle of the team, there was a cage dragged by a carriage, in which Latobe, the chief of the Hutu tribe, was imprisoned.

The former Donghu patriarch no longer had the prestige of the past. He was wearing shackles on his hands and feet, curled up in a corner of the cage, his head was bowed, and his gray hair covered his face. Silently enduring the insults and pointing from the western Liaoning people along the way.

It's not that Latobe didn't think about begging for death, but after Gao Yuan caught him, he prevented him from doing so, and it was impossible for him to beg for death. If you don't have the courage to kill yourself, ants are greedy for life, let alone humans?

Zhang Shubao smiled happily, and after a hasty meeting with Lu Hong, he took Gao Yuan to admire the two hundred war horses that he had sent. Zhang Shouyue had already spoken, and all the two hundred war horses in this batch were allocated to the central army commanded by Zhang Shubao , this will be his horse in the future, how can he not like it?

Seeing the two young men get together, looking at each horse, and pointing from time to time, Lu Hong was not so relaxed. Looking at Huang Desheng, "Winning, is the prefect still happy?"

"Happy, very happy!" Huang Desheng said with a smile.

Lu Hong let out a long breath, "This is the first time that Fufeng City has been destroyed in more than ten years. I'm afraid that the prefect will be furious! Last year Fufeng was looted, and the prefect was already very annoyed. Listen When you say that, I finally breathe a sigh of relief."

Huang Desheng lowered his voice, and said: "After receiving the news that Fufeng City was destroyed that day, the prefect was indeed very angry, and summoned all the generals, preparing to mobilize troops to take revenge, but the subordinates had different opinions, and after discussing for a whole day, nothing came out. Chou Yinmao came, and the next day, your good news came, and the prefect turned his anger into joy. Lao Lu, to be honest, you really impressed me. You Fufeng soldiers can wipe out Hu Hundreds of cavalry from the Tu tribe captured the enemy chieftain alive, it's amazing, amazing!"

Lu Hong said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I don't dare to take credit for it. It's all due to Gao Yuan's planning. After returning from Liaoxi City last time, Gao Yuan was planning to eliminate this shareholder barbarian. The plan was very careful. If it hadn't been for a little mistake in the middle, let Fufeng City be captured by the Hutus, this time, it would be a perfect action. Fufeng City was breached, and we also suffered heavy losses. Fortunately, we also gained a lot."

Huang Desheng waved his hand, "Anyway, the result is good. We won the war. We won't pay the price. As long as the gain is greater than the effort, we will make money. This is the biggest battle in Liaoxi City in the past ten years. To win the battle, wipe out a Donghu tribe, and capture Diyou alive is no small honor, and the king of Donghu might even jump his feet."

"This time the commotion is a bit big, and I don't know if King Donghu will cause trouble because of it. The prefect is really not angry?" Lu Hong suddenly became worried again.

"Put your heart back in your stomach!" Huang Desheng patted Lu Hong's shoulder with a smile, and lowered his voice, "This Liaoxi is the back garden of our prefect. Just think about it, there are always some guys running to Gnawing crops in the backyard of my home,

Can the master not be angry? This gnawing is all his own harvest. Na Latobe is so bold that he even dared to break the county town. Swallow it in his stomach, unless he is going to fight a big battle with us, but a big war does not mean that we can fight it. What's more, you sent so many war horses to the prefect. Looking at the carriages behind you, there are a lot of property, right? These alone are worthy of the eunuch's endorsement for your action. "

Looking back, Lu Hong couldn't help laughing. What Huang Desheng said made sense. Fufeng is not the old Fufeng. Now Fufeng is not only the border county of Liaoxi City, but also the purse of the prefect. After playing Fufeng, it is How can the prefect not be in a hurry if he has robbed the prefect of the lord's purse?

"But then again, Lao Lu, this Fufeng City was destroyed. After I went back, Lao Huang, I gesticulated on the sand table for a long time, but I couldn't figure it out. How did these hundreds of Hutu cavalry destroy your Fufeng City? It’s unlikely? Unless there is a traitor? But you are an old man in Fufeng City, so you won’t be so defenseless, right?” Huang Desheng asked in surprise when he remembered something.

"Although we missed, it's not far away!" Lu Hong smiled wryly, "It's not that we didn't guard against the traitor, it's just that the traitor was beyond our expectation. This time we sent La Trobe here not only to save the opportunity to invite credit." Meaning, he is a living proof!"

Huang Desheng's eyes widened, "Is there really a traitor?"

Lu Hong sneered, "Desheng, have you seen Master Linghu during this time?"

Huang Desheng was startled, "Old Lu, you mean Master Linghu has something to do with this matter? You can't talk nonsense, that's all for Linghu Dan himself, but behind him..."

"I didn't say it was related to him!" Lu Hong interrupted, "Huo Zhu, our postal supervisor of Fufeng, has also returned to Liaoxi City, right?"

"I don't know about that. The postal governor of a county is not worthy of my attention. He is not like you. He is my old brother and friend. I will let him die!" Huang Desheng said disdainfully.

"This time I came to Liaoxi City to let him die!" Lu Hong gritted his teeth authentically.

"It has something to do with him?" The scar on Huang Desheng's face rustled.

"It was this Huo Zhu who opened the gate of the west city and allowed the Hutu cavalry to break through the city. In order to block these cavalry, we Fufeng suffered heavy casualties." Lu Hong's eyes became cold, "Thousands of people were killed Kill, most of the county town has turned into ruins, tell me, can I let him die?"

"If it's Huo Zhu, I'm afraid it really has something to do with Linghu Dan!" Huang Desheng's face also became serious. "This matter, if there is no solid evidence, you can't talk nonsense."

"When Huo Zhu broke the city, he also killed many soldiers under my command, but he didn't kill them all, and some people survived. If these are not ironclad evidence, then La Trobe will be able to nail the evidence You have to die, Desheng, this man, you have to take good care of him, you can't let him die for no reason, the prefect always only cares about money and the army, I know that Linghudan has been deeply infiltrated in other yamen of." Lu Hong said.

"I understand that La Trobe will not be locked up in the mansion. I'll lock him up in the barracks. No matter how powerful he is, he can make trouble in the barracks?" Huang Desheng sneered.

"So please."

"By the way, there is one more thing to congratulate you, Lao Lu, if you win this battle, you will be promoted!" Huang Desheng thought of another happy event, and couldn't help but cheered to Lu Hongdao.

"Promotion?"

"That's right, Mr. Tai Guo said this to our confidant generals in private. It hasn't been announced yet. Mr. Taishou plans to build a new army with 2,000 soldiers. The left army, the middle army, and the right army. This time, he plans to build a new army." A former army, the leader of this former army, is your old way." Huang Desheng said with a smile: "Congratulations first, when you finish your job, you have to invite me to Xianyun Tower for a few drinks. "

Lu Hong was also overjoyed, "If it's true, I'll invite you, Lao Huang, to drink for three days in Xianyun Tower."

"It's settled like this!" Huang Desheng was overjoyed. The Xianyun Building was frighteningly expensive. Even with his status and income, he couldn't afford to spend money there. He still had a wife and children to support. The prefect stood there, even if he wanted to hit him with a stick, he didn't dare, he could only drooling eagerly, where could he drink for three days in a row, it can be seen that Lu Hong really lost his temper this time.

"I can't see the old road, are you really rich now?" Huang Desheng said with a smile: "Is it really so lucrative on the other side of Fufeng?"

"What kind of money can I have? It's just to be happy, and you are an old friend, even if you squeeze the bones, you must be satisfied!" Lu Hong changed the subject with a smile. "If I come to Liaoxi City, what about the position of Fufeng County Captain?"

"It's still being debated, but most of the opinions are for Zhang Han to be righted. The prefect said that we need to ask for your opinion!" Huang Desheng said.

"My opinion?" Lu Hong turned his head back. Behind him, Gao Yuan and Zhang Shubao were head-to-toe, whispering something.

"Gao Yuan, it's good, but I'm younger!" Seeing Lu Hong's gaze, Huang Desheng smacked his lips, and said with some regret.

Lu Hong didn't say a word. If he left, Gao Yuan must be appointed as the county captain, so as to ensure that his own interests would not be lost. Heart, but once you leave, will it still be like this? That's not necessarily true. For some things, it is better to be unreliable.

Behind the convoy, Zhang Shubao was stroking the head of a big tall horse, his face and eyes were full of joy, "Gao Yuan, this battle was fought beautifully. Last time, have you considered what I mentioned to you?" , Come to my Chinese army, how about I let you be my deputy? Compared with you in Fufeng, it must be much better. What is there to stay in that barren land, as long as you are willing to come, we brothers will join forces and practice It is not difficult to have the number one army in the world, is it?"

Gao Yuan touched his nose and spread his hands, "Although Liaoxi is good, it's not my hometown. Brother Shubao, although Fufeng is poor, it's hard for me to leave my hometown. I'm more comfortable where I am. I appreciate your kindness." .”
