The Richest Man in the Heavens Starts from Outlaws of the Marsh

Chapter 96
After discussing with Wu Yong, Song Jiang asked Huarong to continue to collect the scattered Liangshanbo minion soldiers on the one hand, and sent Dai Zong back to Xingzhou to inquire about news on the other hand.

Hei Sanlang decided that he would never return to Xingzhou City until he got the exact news from Zhang Shuye.

After all, there are many officials in the state city who are bigger than him, a vanguard envoy with a false name. Anyone who writes a memorial can kill him.

This is different from his anti-poetry in Xunyang Tower, that matter can be carried to some extent, the army is so defeated Zhang Shuye still has to rely on the protection of his ancestors, let alone him.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Dai Zong to come back and report that Marshal Zhang had fled all the way and had collected [-] remnants and was heading towards Xingzhou.

Song Jiang and Wu Yong breathed a sigh of relief, and took Hua Rong and the gathered more than 2000 brothers to the direction of Xingzhou.

In the evening, they finally caught up with Zhang Shuye's large army, and when they saw this Marshal Zhang again, Heishanlang's eyes turned red and he began his performance.

"My lord, those brothers of mine... I'm sorry that they haven't had a good day. It's me, Song Jiang, who is incompetent." Song Jiang cried with tears in his eyes.

Zhang Shuye knew that the Liangshan army had suffered a great loss, but considering that they had to rely on them to defend Xingzhou City, he comforted him: "Song Xianfeng, the biggest fault lies with me. I'm still impatient. If I'm not in the wild Langzhan will not be where it is today."

"Marshal, if we lose this battle, I'm afraid we can only stick to Xingzhou and wait for the imperial reinforcements." Wu Yong said.

Zhang Shuye nodded. He understood the implication of Wu Yong's words, that is, you will still need us in the future, and the responsibility for the defeat cannot be pushed on our heads.

"This is the only way to go now. In the future, we will have to rely on Song Xianfeng and Wu Xuexue. Don't be afraid of losing a battle." Zhang Shuye said.

"Marshal, the number of people we have recruited is not large, and Xingzhou's official army and Liangshan army are mixed. Please let me know how to deploy the command in the future." Song Jiang said.

Zhang Shuye had no choice but to say: "Now most of the generals of the Xingzhou government army have been dispersed, and few are still in the team. In the future, we will have to rely on Song Xianfeng to lead the troops to fight."

Only then did Song Jiang feel relieved, and brought the topic back to the battle damage he had started, talking about how many troops and leaders he had lost in Liangshanbo.

Zhang Shuye did not disdain Hei Sanlang's complaints, on the contrary, he felt sad. Even if he could defend Xingzhou in this defeat, he would have to wait for Tong Guan's Western Army Jiangnan to put down the rebellion if the imperial court sent reinforcements.

The money and food used to suppress the rebellion of the court have been spent like running water, and how long the treasury can last is a question, especially after the rebellion in the tax-heavy areas in the south of the Yangtze River.

"If I can't even defend Xingzhou, the Wei army will go all the way south to attack Damingfu and Xiangzhou, and the two roads of Hedong and Hebei will not be far from Bianliang. Could it be... . . . Zhang Shuye didn't dare to think about it.

After walking and thinking all the way, he didn't even know how he got back to Xingzhou City.

State government office.

Zhao Xian and Zhang Shuye sat opposite each other for a long time, not knowing what to say, the pressure on Xingzhou City suddenly soared after the defeat of the army.

The old, weak, sick, and disabled left behind in the city can't count on them, and they can rely on those soldiers whose courage has been broken.

"Boda, under the current situation, we have to mobilize the powerful households in the city and ask them to send servants to help defend the city. At the same time, we also need to open the treasury to recruit young and strong men. Otherwise, I'm afraid we won't have enough troops to deal with it." Zhang Shuye still Open your mouth and say.

"Oh, that's the only way to go." Zhao Xian sighed and fell silent.

Uncle Zhang also understands that this old friend may not have the intention of blaming him.

Let's not talk about Xingzhou City, let's talk about Du Yu.

After the war, the battlefield was counted, and the Wei army lost more than 800 people and killed more than [-].

The loss of the officers and soldiers on the opposite side was even more, with the death toll at [-], and the wounded were even more numerous.The large number of deaths of the officers and soldiers is not due to the large number of kills before the battle, but the majority of the officers and soldiers trampled to death while fleeing.

In order not to cause a plague, Du Yu ordered that the corpses of those officers and soldiers be burned and buried after cleaning the battlefield.

Those who sacrificed themselves were buried together in a geomantic treasure, and people erected a monument to commemorate the establishment of an ancestral hall for sacrifices. Of course, that will not be mentioned for the time being.

Du Yu was very happy to return from a great battle and captured [-] to [-] soldiers. Of course, not only did he get those prisoners, but also because Zhang Shuye's defeat was so beneficial to Wei.

If you advance, you can attack Song, if you retreat, you can attack Liao.There are rookies on both sides, and we will see how Tong Guan is progressing in fighting Fang La first. Uh, I forgot that there is another Wang Qing who already occupied the land of Bazhou during the Huaixi Uprising and now pretends to be the king of Chu, even more powerful than him, the king of Wei. The prestige is even greater.

It seems that the Song court and Zhao Guan's family are having a headache.

After the war, Sun An was responsible for dispersing those soldiers and escorting them to Zhending Mansion, Hejian Mansion and other places for reorganization and transformation.

These things cannot be completed in a day or two, so Du Yu's transfer orders were issued frequently to break up the generals under his command and redo the arrangements.

After dealing with these matters, he had time to look at the leader of Liangshanbo who surrendered.

It turned out that not long after the war started that day, Lu Junyi voluntarily chose to surrender after learning that the army in the middle road was defeated.

Originally, the people he led were people outside the small group of the Song Dynasty. Some people were not very interested in recruiting security, and they were not very interested in going out to fight.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Lu Junyi took the lead and they followed suit, allowing Du Yushao to reap a wave of progress points.

After Du Yu learned that they surrendered, although he was a little regretful, he still entertained them warmly.

However, looking at the names of those who surrendered made me happy. Liu Tang, Xie Zhen, Xie Bao, Yang Zhi, Zhang Qing, Xuan Zan, Hao Siwen, etc., none of them belonged to Song Jiang.

Du Yu actually didn't know them well, the only one he knew was Yang Zhi. He had made friends with Lu Zhishen when he visited Lu Zhishen in Erlong Mountain before.

Therefore, as soon as we met, he said to Yang Zhi: "Yang Zhishi, it's been a long time since we haven't seen each other. I really didn't expect our brothers to meet in Julu next time."

Yang Zhilian became popular, and his heart was full of emotions, how could the same poor people get along so well, and he still had no ambitions.

"Brother Shi... Your Majesty, I haven't seen a better appearance in many years than before." Yang Zhi said.

"Emissary Yang Zhi doesn't have to be so polite, just call me Shi Dalang." Du Yu said.

"I'm ashamed, today is different from the past, how dare I overstep Brother Shi's position now." Yang Zhi said.

Du Yu smiled and said: "The envoy is still too polite. There is really no need to be so. Shi Jin is still the same as before. When I have time, I want to discuss it with Brother Yang."

Yang Zhi smiled awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

"Brother Yang, to be honest, you are from a famous family. You should have been a high-ranking official in the imperial court. It's a pity that your family is in decline and you meet the faint king Zhao Ji who appoints a traitor. I'm afraid you won't have a bright future. Why don't you just be an official in my Wei Dynasty? You can't restore the glory of your ancestors." Du Yu said.

"Oh, I'm not afraid of Brother Shi's jokes. I used to work hard for the court but hit a wall everywhere. The edges and corners of my heart have long been polished. I thought that Zhao'an would be a way out or nothing, but if Brother Shi doesn't feel bad luck, I am willing to try again with him "Yang Zhi knew that the army was defeated and his official career in the Song Dynasty had been ruined, so he might as well go to the Great Wei to fight for it.

"Brother Yang has that intention, welcome to join the Great Wei." Du Yu smiled.

Yang Zhi felt a little embarrassed, but he forced a smile.

"Brother Yang, to tell you the truth, Coach Lin is also serving in our Great Wei, and you can just serve in the New Serenity Army together," Du Yu said.

"It turns out that Coach Lin has taken refuge with Brother Shi." Yang Zhi was a little surprised, but with this good acquaintance, he felt it would be easier to accept it.

Seeing this, Du Yu dragged him to find Lin Chong to talk about the past and ease his embarrassment.

As for Lu Junyi, it would be easier to recruit and surrender. He was not with Song Jiang in the first place, and when he came to Hebei, he thought of the family business he had lost before.

Coupled with the deep friendship with Xu Guanzhong, after the two had an in-depth exchange, Yu Qilin defected from the court to the Great Wei.

Like Liu Tang, the original Chaogai family whose grandma doesn't love his uncle doesn't need much persuasion. They have nowhere to go, and they can still make a living by surrendering to Wei.
