Chapter 306: Bringing Heaven and Earth Together
After receiving the message, Zhu Yuanhao stalked into the lobby of the county government and saluted respectfully to the person sitting in the hall: "The last general Zhu Yuanhao has seen Liu Dushuai, all the guards
"Okay, please get up quickly." Liu Hong walked up enthusiastically, helped him up, and looked at the man in front of him carefully. The man stood in armor, with bright eyebrows and a sense of terrifying spirit all over his body.
The more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and he couldn't help but have thoughts in his heart. But now he is still in the hall. In front of so many subordinates, Liu Hong didn't speak, but just asked casually: "Zhu Yingzheng, I'm handsome. I heard that you chased out of the city last night and killed the thief Zhao Dahu, but really?"
"It's true that Zhao Dahu's head is right now, and Dusu can be ordered to take it." Zhu Yuanhao replied with great force.
"Okay, okay. Go quickly to get Zhao Dahu's neck head, and find a few more prisoners to come and check." After Liu Hong gave the order, he rushed to the personal soldiers at the door and said, "Give the seat of Zhu Yingzheng."
After receiving the order, a personal soldier immediately brought a chair.
"Thank you, Lord Zhu Yuanhao, did not refuse, salute again and sat down.
Last night, Liu Hong led the four guards of Yidu to attack the city. At this moment, except for Wu Lianshan, the other three guards were also there. Seeing Zhu Yuanhao sitting down, they nodded to show their goodwill.
No one is a fool. When he was in a panic last night, Zhu Yuanhao dared to take dozens of soldiers out of the city to chase Zhao Dahu and successfully returned. This is a wise man's bravery. Later, it was reported that there would definitely be rewards for the Marquis. Not only did he dig out gold, silver and land, his official position would probably be promoted to general of the guard, and he would be at the same level as them.
Getting done at this time can help you take care of things in the future.
However, Wu Lianshan's face was pale now, and he sat in his seat and wanted to speak but stopped.
At this time, the personal soldiers who had gone out had returned, holding a tray in their hands, covering them with a black cloth. Judging from the shape of the black cloth, it was a head. Behind him, several soldiers were pressing two thieves in.
When the two thieves saw everyone in the hall, they immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
"Get out, I am handsome and don't plan to kill you yet. Now there is something you need to identify carefully. If you dare to say a lie, the head will not be guaranteed." After saying that, Liu Hongchong's personal soldiers signaled: "Show it to them."
"Yes," the personal soldiers immediately lifted up the black cloth, and a hideous head appeared.
The skull looked slightly yellow, with some dry blood stains on it, and his eyes were slightly glaring, making him look even more ferocious. Zhao Dahu was the right-hand arm of the thief leader Li Yingxiang. Everyone in the hall had heard of his name, but no one had ever seen it. Even Wu Lianshan looked at it a few times last night, and the sky was dark, so he didn't see it clearly. At this moment, he saw the skull, but he didn't know whether it was true or not. He was just looking forward to it that the killing god last night.
In this way, I will have room for relief later.
Unfortunately, he was disappointed. When the two thieves saw the head in the tray, they initially looked incredible on their faces, and then screamed: "General..."
"I am handsome and ask you, is this head of Zhao Dahu?" Seeing the reaction of the two thieves, Liu Hong asked again.
"Return to General, it's indeed Zhao Dahu's..." The two thieves knelt on the ground and kowtowed one after another.
"Okay, pickle this head quickly, and then take it back to the city to report the good news to the Marquis..." Liu Hong stood up from his seat and spoke excitedly.
After the personal soldiers brought their heads and the thieves out, his face turned cold again. He looked between Zhu Yuanhao and Wu Lianshan for a few times and said coldly: "Zhu Yingzheng, before you came, Wu Wei General Zeng Yan said that he had ordered you to guard the Ximen, but you let Zhao Dahu run away. Is there anything wrong?"
"What?" Zhu Yuanhao suddenly heard about this, and couldn't help but show a little surprise on his face, and then he quickly stood up and clasped his fists: "The Du Shushou, there is no such thing. Mo led his troops into the county government last night. Hearing that Zhao Dahu had fled, he led his troops to chase him. By the time he reached the west gate, Zhao Dahu had broken through the city and fled. After asking the general Wu Wei, he led his troops out of the city to pursue. The soldiers around him knew about this. If the lord did not believe it, he could call them for questioning."
He is not a fool. From Du Shuai's few words just now, he learned that he had been killed by Wu Lianshanyin. However, with Zhao Dahu's head here, no one believed the other party's words.
"General Wu Wei, what else do you have to say?"
Wu Lianshan was about to make a quibble when he suddenly found that Liu Hong's eyes were full of murderous intent. He was shocked and hurriedly changed his words: "I am aware of the crime. Last night, I am not strictly guarding him. Let Zhao Dahu escape."
"Hmph, what a bad commander. Since that's the case, I will report this matter to the Marquis later and ask him to decide..." If Wu Lianshan had bitten to death just now, Liu Hong would not mind killing and establishing his authority. But now he can only let it go. After all, the other party was considered to have made contributions to the city last night, so it would be better to leave it to the Marquis to deal with this matter.
After hearing this, Wu Lianshan breathed a sigh of relief, but he was not grateful to Liu Hong, but instead felt a little more hatred, feeling that he had just made him lose his ugly face.
The next step to recover the county town was to post a notice to Anmin. Someone did this. Liu Hong said a few more words and ended the military discussion.
Zhu Yuanhao originally planned to leave, but was stopped.
"Zhu Yingzheng, Bendushuai heard that the scenery behind the county government is good. There is nothing to do with you, so let's go and see how?"
"The last general obeys the order." Zhu Yuanhao nodded quickly.
The back garden of the county government office is not big, with a radius of more than ten acres. Now in the cold winter, everything is bleak and there is no scenery to enjoy. However, Zhu Yuanhao did not ask for questions, but followed behind.
After entering the back garden, Liu Hong waved his hand to let his personal soldiers retreat to the distance, and then took Zhu Yuanhao to walk slowly, asking him casually about his hometown and who else was in his family, etc.
After asking a few questions, Liu Hong had already understood each other and felt that the other party was very suitable for his own wishes. He immediately spoke, "So, have you not married yet?"
"When I was handsome, my villain has been poor since I was a child, so no one can like him." Zhu Yuanhao answered respectfully, and a beautiful figure flashed through his mind, which was Xiaoyu, the sister of his former former acquaintance Lang Yuzhu.
When they were in Wanshan Mansion, the two families lived in the same alley and met often. Lang Yuzhu was in a daze in his study and could not carry his hands or pick them up. Therefore, Zhu Yuanhao would come to help him whenever he encountered any problems. Over time, Xiaoyu became more in love with him, but Zhu Yuanhao did not have such an idea, and he treated the other party as a sister.
After all, the two have different family backgrounds. No matter how poor the Lang family is, they are also a scholarly family, and he is just a rough man.
Later, Zhu Yuanhao was injured in the street and was chased by the yamen runners, and fled all the way out of Wanshan Mansion. The two families also cut off contact. When Zhu Yuanhao returned a month ago, he learned that Xiaoyu had already married.
"I have a daughter who is only 18 years old and I plan to beg you. Are you willing?" Liu Hong said softly.
"All handsome?" Zhu Yuanhao was a little unbelievable for a moment and stared at him in a daze.
"Why, don't you?" Liu Hong's voice began to turn cold.
"How could Mo Jiang not want to do it? It's just that Mo Jiang's family is poor and has no land..."
"If you make great contributions this time, the Marquis will naturally not be stingy with the land. Even if you don't have one, I will buy it for you. You just need to answer whether you are willing?" Liu Hong asked again.
"I have seen my father-in-law, of course I will." Zhu Yuanhao was very excited and hurriedly knelt down and bowed.
"Get up" Liu Hong received a gift and laughed and helped the other party up. He came from a medieval family in the army, with two sons and one daughter. His daughter was fine, but his two sons were too unsophisticated and would not be able to make ends meet in the martial arts. In addition to his wife's accommodation, neither of his two sons joined the army. Now he can only rely on his son-in-law to inherit the powerful connections. Therefore, Liu Hong was extremely cautious when choosing a son-in-law.
Zhu Yuanhao was originally optimistic, and now he has killed Li Yingxiang's general. Such contributions will definitely have a great future in the future. It was precisely because of this that Liu Hong decided to betroth his daughter to the other party.
The relationship between the father-in-law and son-in-law has been decided, and Liu Hong was much more casual when he spoke: "This time you break through Qutang County, you will definitely be rated as the first meritorious person. Take this opportunity to report more meritorious soldiers under your command, and I will send them..."
"The son-in-law understands," Zhu Yuanhao nodded again.
As Liu Hong expected, Liang Hou's reward came soon. He was promoted to the next level, and was given 80 taels of silver, fifty acres of fertile land, two oxen heads, and one mansion. There were also servants.
Zhu Yuanhao cannot see the fertile land here for the time being. However, the money is real. Zhu Yuanhao was very excited when he sent off the sergeant who announced the good news.
Not only him, but also the soldiers who followed him to attack last night were rewarded. Each person had ten taels of silver, and the ones plundered from the county government, after a battle last night, each person was basically able to get more than thirty taels of silver.
"Brother Zhu, it seems that we are right with you. We have so much money after just one battle. If we still hang out on the dock, how long will it take to save more than thirty taels?" Without outsiders, Xiaoliuzi Xu Guangyuan spoke excitedly.
"If you don't show your wealth, be careful, don't let the thief touch it away." Zhou Laosan next to him joked.
"Hmph, how can a thief dare not touch his Sixth Master's money?" Xiao Liuzi glared. Now he has many lives and his evil spirits are rising all over his body. Ordinary thieves really dare not approach him.
"Following your promising prospects, you will be happy to find the North. Follow Brother Zhu, let alone thirty taels of silver, it will not be a problem," at this time, another man touched.
"That's right," Xiao Liuzi nodded and said, "Brother Zhu is now named a general of the guard by the Marquis, and he has hundreds of people under his command. If he makes any contribution in the future, he may become the handsome man. Then we will get a battalion."
"What does it mean to be handsome? You can definitely be handsome. With your promising prospects, you must be the general of the guard at least. Is it true that Zhu Dushen?" Zhou Laosan said with a smile.
"Okay, don't talk nonsense, it's bad for people to listen." Zhu Yuanhao waved his hand, with a bit of majesty on his face.
A few months ago, he was a fugitive and was chased by the yamen runners, and he was anxious. If someone told him that he could become a general of the guard, Zhu Yuanhao would definitely sneer.
Now that he became a general of Wei, although he was a little excited, he was more filled with something indescribable. Being a general of Wei was satisfied... He remembered the great marshals who had stabilized the world in the previous dynasty as the storyteller said.
Only by doing that and earning a royal decree for my mother can you be satisfied.
