Governor please stay

Murong Shaozong was covered in blood and didn't care to wash it off. When he saw Er Zhurong coming, he bowed his hands and asked.

"Anahu is slipperier than a loach, and he actually let him run away."

Er Zhurong said regretfully.

"Don't chase after the poor. Now that Anahu has been stabbed severely, he will not patronize Jinyang for the next two years. My lord is brave in this battle, and he will not lose his demeanor back then."

Murong Shaozong complimented Er Zhurong very much.

"Let's go back to Jinyang, now that the situation in Bingzhou is treacherous, it's better to go back to Jinyang earlier."

Er Zhurong nodded slightly and said.

Defeating the Rouran people and confiscating part of the looted money can only be said to have stabilized Jinyang's defense and the hearts of the subordinates.

At this moment, a horse from afar galloped over, saw Er Zhurong, knelt down on one knee and cried, "My lord, but Zhu Hunyuan rebelled and has already taken control of Jinyang City!"

This person is a trusted general of Murong Shaozong's family, Murong Shaozong hurriedly helped him up, and asked with a look of astonishment: "Tell me quickly!"

"My lord! Ke Zhu Hunyuan took advantage of everyone's unpreparedness and launched a mutiny in the middle of the night. His subordinates risked their lives to break out of the siege and came to inform the general, and quickly returned to Jinyang! All the children of the Erzhu family have been killed by Ke Zhu Hunyuan, please, my lord. Bring your troops back to Jinyang quickly!"

The man knelt down and cried.

Hearing this, Er Zhurong's eyes went dark, and he was so out of breath that he passed out.

Chapter 697 What a painful realization

Tuk tuk, tuk tuk!

A group of cavalry galloped on the road from Luoyin City to Yangqu County, and the leader of the cavalry was Er Zhurong!

At this moment, his eyes were red and he was furious, and he was returning to Jinyang with his elite cavalry.Murong Shaozong led his infantry and followed behind the cavalry team, also ran all the way, and did not fall too far.

The distance between Luoyin Abandoned City and Yangqu is not a ray of plains. On both sides of the official road, the terrain is complicated, but there is no perfect place to ambush.

Even if a mixed team of infantry and cavalry is ambushed, it can easily escape after losing some manpower, and it can even fight back if it is properly organized.Er Zhurong and the others were well aware of the terrain here, so it was obvious that they were not worried about Zhu Hunyuan's ambush.

According to the description of the soldiers who escaped from Jinyang, Erzhu's family was beheaded by Ke Zhu Hunyuan, and none of the males remained.Er Zhurong didn't understand, how did he offend Ke Zhu Hunyuan before, and the other party was so vicious!

There are over a hundred male members of the Erzhu family, so all of them are gone?

Because of this incident, even Murong Shaozong was suspected by Er Zhurong. Everyone knows, but Zhu Hunyuan is Murong Shaozong's family friend. Hundreds of years ago, during the Wuhu period, the two families were still in the same tribe and intermarried for generations .

"stop!"

The cavalry in front suddenly stopped, and the order was gradually passed on to the team behind. For a while, the fine cavalry was a little confused and formed a formation in a hurry.

It's not that they want to stop, but they have to stop. The red flags of Liang Jun are all erected on the walls of Yangqu County in front of them!

After fighting for so many years, I also encountered many opponents.Only Liang Jun's family used the red flag as the military flag.This situation hardly requires careful thinking to determine what happened.

At this moment, on both sides of the roads on both sides of Yangqu County, red flags were erected one after another.In a very short period of time, the flags are everywhere!

Er Zhurong, who was riding on the horse, was terrified. As a veteran general who had fought all his life, how could he not understand what was going on now?

"Hey!" "Hey!" "Hey!"

"Hey!" "Hey!" "Hey!"

The sound of arrows piercing through the sky roared, and the cavalry who was riding on the horse and stopped moving suddenly, like a fixed target, was shot down a large area.

The rapid-firing crossbow sent round after round of arrows to greet them. Within a few breaths, Er Zhurong's fine cavalry suffered heavy casualties and scurried around like headless flies, avoiding the arrows.

"My lord! Let's go!"

Murong Shaozong, who had arrived in time, was panting, while using a knife to push aside several incoming crossbow arrows.This kind of continuous crossbow has an unparalleled shooting speed, but its strength is not very strong, and it is used to break the formation when soldiers meet in close combat.

Er Zhurong made a mistake by accident, and lost a lot of manpower, but the main force of the army is still there, and has formed in the rear.

"Jinyang is broken, disarm and don't kill!"

The shouts of soldiers suddenly sounded from both sides of the road, resounding through the sky.When the soldiers around Murong Shaozong heard this, their expressions changed drastically.

"The big thing is gone."

Er Zhurong sat on the ground dejectedly and refused to get up. At this time, the rain of arrows also stopped, leaving only the sound of shouts one after another.

"My lord, we still have the main force. We can still make a difference by breaking through to Sizhou and North Xiurongchuan!"

Murong Shaozong yelled at Er Zhurong, and burst into tears.

He couldn't believe that Er Zhurong, who was brave and fearless when chasing the Rouran cavalry before, was sitting on the ground like an old man at the end of his life, refusing to get up.

"Look at them before talking."

Er Zhurong pointed to the guard beside him and said, looking weak.He seemed to have resigned himself to his fate, and he didn't want to make any more fuss.

Murong Shaozong looked around and found that the battlefield was terribly quiet, and the soldiers around him all looked terrified and at a loss, all staring at him intently.

At this moment, Murong Shaozong also understood that what Er Zhurong said was right.

The trend is over!

Although the people are still there, the hearts of the people are gone!

In Jinyang City, there are families of these soldiers.What they urgently hope now is to go back and have a look instead of going far away.But the situation was already in front of us. Liang Jun's appearance in Yangqu meant that Zhu Hunyuan had defected to Liang Guo and was willing to be Liu Yishou's dog.

The opponent is not only deliberately betraying the water, but also has ample backup.Er Zhurong has been keeping secrets from the army, preventing them from knowing the situation in Jinyang.At this moment, paper can't hold fire.The appearance of Liang Jun in Yangqu meant that Jinyang had fallen.

Even if Er Zhurong's elite soldiers can kill Yangqu's Liang army, Jinyang is also a dragon's pond and a tiger's den.

In this situation, how can the soldiers who have fallen into despair not be frightened?

"Send someone to Yangqu County and tell the guard over there that I am willing to surrender."

Er Zhurong waved his hands calmly and said, patted the dust off his body and stood up.

"My lord..."

Murong Shaozong wanted to say more, but Er Zhurong waved his hand and said:

"In the past, I was the great general of Tianzhu. I had more than ten thousand elite soldiers under my command? Dozens of fierce generals under my command? The territory under my command was more than one place in Jinyang. But you see how I got here all these years.

I'm already old, Erzhu's family suffered heavy casualties, how do you let me deal with myself? "

Er Zhurong let out a long sigh, and suddenly recalled what Liu Yishou had said back then, and then felt that all of them were good words, but it was a pity that his eyes were high at the time, supercilious, and he didn't think the other party's reasoning was useless at all. .

It would be great if I could listen to those words sooner. It's too late to say anything now.

He sighed silently in his heart.

Murong Shaozong quietly released his right hand holding the horizontal knife, and the knife fell to the ground with a crisp sound.He silently took off his helmet, threw it aside casually, cupped his hands at Er Zhurong and said, "My lord, then I will personally ask you to surrender."

"It's troublesome."

Er Zhurong said indifferently.

After a while, Murong Shaozong came back, cupped his hands and said to him: "My lord, order you guys to put down your weapons, the other party has already promised not to kill prisoners, everything will be decided after returning to Jinyang..."

"Also, Liu Yishou is already in Jinyang."

In the end, Murong Shaozong couldn't help but add a sentence.

"Understood, you go to pass the order."

Er Zhurong's tone was full of exhaustion. At this moment, his energy and spirit had been taken away, leaving only a shell, drifting with the tide.Even if Liu Yishou killed him after returning to Jinyang, he would not resist, nor would he curse at the other party.

Murong Shaozong's movements were very fast, and after a while, he led the unarmed soldiers in military uniforms to line up.Some led horses, some didn't, and they didn't seem so depressed, at least not as depressed as Er Zhurong.

Wei Xiaokuan, who was in Yangqu City, received Murong Shaozong and told him: Although Zhu Hunyuan rebelled, most of Jinyang City was intact, and he targeted Erzhu's hard-core cronies and offshoots.

After Murong Shaozong told these things to the self-protection trilogy, those bitter hahas obediently put down their weapons, and no one clamored "destroy jade and stone together".

Seeing that Er Zhurong was not in high spirits, Murong Shaozong whispered in his ear: "The general inquired about the news that Jinyang was chaotic all night, and only the offspring of Er Zhu's family and the lord's relatives were killed, all unscathed."

Unexpectedly, Er Zhurong looked at Murong Shaozong dumbfoundedly, and then sighed: "Before I saw the Liang Jun flag on the head of Yangqu City, I was really worried about the safety of my family. But after seeing it, I was sure of my The lives of the unworthy sons are safe."

Hearing this, Murong Shaozong was shocked.He hastily pulled Er Zhurong's arm and asked in confusion, "How does my lord know?"

"Don't mention it."

Er Zhurong sighed helplessly, waved his hands, and didn't want to say any more.

Er Zhuying'e occasionally wrote to Jinyang to talk about things around her, and it could be seen that Liu Yishou treated her well and did not abandon her from beginning to end.

How could such a man leave all his concubine's relatives behind?Er Zhurong still knew who Liu Yishou was, and he was definitely not someone who liked to kill indiscriminately.

Everyone Liu Yishou killed had a reason to die.Er Zhurong felt that his sons didn't seem to have done anything outrageous, and they were Er Zhuying'e's own younger brothers.

How could Liu Yishou bring down the killer?

But since Zhu Hunyuan wanted to sacrifice the city to save his life and seek wealth, Liu Yishou must have explained it beforehand.

"By the way, where will your home that gave us the order be?"

Er Zhurong suddenly remembered this.

"Probably died on the battlefield, no one is here."

Murong Shaozong said embarrassingly.

He already understood that that person had betrayed Er Zhurong, at least not all the news was true.

If that person explained the situation in Jinyang City clearly, I am afraid that the soldiers will return to their hearts, and they will have the strength to fight against the same enemy!

He didn't dare to tell Er Zhurong about this, otherwise, if Zhu Hunyuan rebelled and his family general passed on false news, even if Er Zhurong trusted Murong Shaozong again, he would deeply doubt this talented man. It is the best hidden twenty-five boy.

Sure enough, Er Zhurong nodded slightly and said: "I suspect that this person is a secret agent, deliberately spreading false news. Since you can't find it, let's forget it."

Er Zhurong is not stupid, but he is a bit late.

……

Jinyang Xiongcheng, built by mountains and rivers, has excellent geomantic omen, except for the remoteness of the Taiyuan Basin, it has almost everything you want.Liu Yishou led his cronies, accompanied by Ke Zhu Hunyuan, to visit various places in Jinyang City, and couldn't help sighing with emotion.

The Erzhu family occupies such a good territory, but it can't develop, it's oppressed by Gao Huan several times, and it can't get out. These years really live on dogs!

"Jinyang's Fengshui treasure land has been plagued by the Erzhu family for so many years. This is really a great misfortune for the elders of Taiyuan County."

Liu Yishou couldn't help but sighed.

But Zhu Hunyuan didn't dare to speak up when he was around. You must know that he was also a member of the "disaster group" that Liu Yishou called before, and he jumped ship only by dedicating himself to the city in a coup.

I can't wash it for the rest of my life!

"My lord's words are very true. Now that Jinyang City has escaped from Er Zhurong's clutches, it is really a gratifying thing to be bathed in the care of my lord."

Yang Xiuzhi flattered and said.

"The order has been passed down that the imperial court reduced or exempted the tax of Taiyuan County for three years, and only collected [-]% of it. In addition, they sent people to various mountains and lakes to find refugees, saying that the imperial court wanted to equalize the land, and asked them to come to Jinyang City to make records and register again.

We want to implement a benevolent government so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment. We can't compare with Er Zhurong, who extorts and extorts money.Jinyang has been in war for many years, and the people are in dire straits, so it is time to recuperate. "

Liu Yishou ordered in a deep voice.

Why do you want to play Juntian in Jinyang at this time?

Because there are many tenants here, their landlords have fled, but the tenants have no capital to flee elsewhere.

Giving them equal land is not only to buy people's hearts, but also an important measure to fight against local tyrants!Taking advantage of this opportunity, let those tenants get rid of the personal attachment relationship with the local tyrants.

Not only did he occupy the righteousness, but he also did what should be done quietly, and no one could say anything.If the local tyrants want to take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos, Liu Yishou doesn't even need to worry about it, and the local people will not follow them to make trouble.

Without a mass base, these careerists can only hide and hide, and dare not make mistakes.After Liu Yishou unifies the world, there will naturally be more means to suppress these people and settle accounts after the fall.

When to say what to say, when to do things, this is the basic quality of a mature politician.

But Zhu Hunyuan was stunned when he heard it, and he had a feeling in his heart that Er Zhurong was busy making wedding dresses for Liu Yishou all these years.

Er Zhurong extorted violently and acted like a dominator, which made Liu Yishou appear benevolent and just.

Life is not good under Er Zhurong's rule. If you change someone, you can be much better than him if you just mess around. People naturally know who to support.

In other words, people who are used to a good life do not know how to cherish; people who have been exploited and oppressed, as long as they treat them a little better, they will get the most extensive support and support.

It is not known whether it is Er Zhurong's luck or misfortune to have such a "son-in-law".

But Zhu Hunyuan sighed calmly.

"However, General Zhu Hun abandoned the darkness and turned to the light. He has made great contributions to the fathers and elders of Taiyuan County. Don't think about it wildly. This king will reward you for your achievements."

Liu Yishou looked at Zhu Hunyuan and said with a smile.

"The subordinates have long been displeased with Erzhu's dominance in Jinyang, and they want to show them a good look today. The lord is the destiny, and Jinyang is under the jurisdiction of the lord, which is the great fortune of the elders of Taiyuan County!"

But Zhu Hunyuan was no stranger to flattering horses, he just opened his mouth.
