Chapter 133 Purging the Warlords 4

Yuan Chonghuan temporarily appeased Zhang Hongmo, Liu Tianlu, Cao Gongcheng and others by using military pay to let them take the big head, but it was of no use.

Panic is still spreading.

After Zu Dashou, Xia Guoxiang, Li Bensen, Ma Bao, and Guo Zhuangtu died one after another. Their deaths were almost exactly the same as Zu Dashou. Their necks were wiped with a sword, and no one in the family survived.

Now, no one doubted that Zu Dashou's death was related to Yuan Chonghuan. Yuan Chonghuan would not be stupid enough to make himself the target of public criticism, but it made Yuan Chonghuan even more anxious.

His suspicion was cleared, but the subordinates of the dead warlord leader became explosive barrels, clamoring for an explanation from him, the governor of Ningyuan, all day long.

He is the governor of Ningyuan, and his generals were killed under his nose, and he must bear full responsibility.

Facing the subordinates left behind by the warlord leaders such as Prime Minister Xia and Li Bensen, Yuan Chonghuan gritted his teeth with hatred, but he had no idea what to do.

Using money to appease Zu Dashou's subordinates like before is not feasible. The military pay is only a little. If all of it is given to the subordinates of the dead warlord leader, what will happen to the soldiers of other warlords? It may lead to mutiny.

"Supervisor, the imperial envoy has arrived!"

Just when Yuan Chonghuan was at a loss what to do, his deputy general Wang Chengyin brought him good news.

"My lord please."

God is really helping me!

Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji entered Ningyuan with an army of ten thousand, led by Zhang Hongmo, Liu Tianlu, Cao Gongcheng and others.

Not only Zhang Hongmo, Liu Tianlu, Cao Gongcheng and other subordinates of Zu Dashou thought so, but also the subordinates of Xia Guoxiang, Li Bensen and others also had this idea.

"Ningyuan Governor Yuan Chonghuan led all Ningyuan troops to pay homage to the special envoy."

After saying that, without waiting for Zhu Di to refuse, he pulled Zhu Di and started to go inside. His men consciously moved the cart of military pay brought by Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji.

"The imperial edict has arrived!"

"The Superintendent, Zhang Hongmo, Liu Tianlu, Cao Gongcheng and others have already left the city to meet the special envoy!"

"Master Zhu, it's hard work coming from afar, why don't you find a place to stay and rest first."

Along the way, Zhang Hongmo, Liu Tianlu, Cao Gongcheng and others treated Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji with great respect and thoughtful etiquette.

Zhu Di got off his horse, pretended to be flattered, and said, "Master Yuan, please get up quickly."

"There is no rush to catch up with the wind and wash away the dust for the time being."

Under the protection of the imperial court, they first escaped the clutches of the major warlords, and after a few years of insignificant development, they became the new warlords, continuing to be lawless.

Yuan Chonghuan patted his forehead and ordered: "Gather all the generals and follow the governor to meet the two imperial envoys."

"No need for the time being, let's go see Governor Yuan first. His Majesty has an imperial edict to convey."

Da da da

Yuan Chonghuan did not take Zhu Di seriously in the first place, and naturally he would not be polite. He immediately said: "The governor has hosted a banquet in the mansion to welcome the special envoy. Can you please show me your favor and sit down to talk about it?"

Even if they didn't take the two special envoys of the imperial court, Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji, seriously at all in their hearts, they still couldn't neglect them on the surface. They still needed to rely on the imperial court in many places.

Zhu Zhanji understood immediately and punched a soldier who was close to the military pay carriage and knocked him to the ground. The soldiers who followed also drew their swords to protect the military pay carriage.

Yuan Chonghuan's face was extremely ugly. A mere special envoy transporting military pay dared to deny him face in Ningyuan.

Yuan Chonghuan. He couldn't wait to meet this Governor Yuan who was mixed in black and white, whose merits and demerits were hard to tell.

"What do you mean, sir?"

There are a lot of things going on, but the core idea is to remove Yuan Chonghuan and replace him with Zhu Di, whose pseudonym is Zhu Yong, to preside over Ning Yuan.

Zhu Di broke away from Yuan Chonghuan's pull, and his eyes signaled to Zhu Zhanji that it was time to get down to business.

"arrive."

Zu Dashou, Xia Guoxiang, Li Bensen, Guo Zhuangtu, and Ma Baoningyuan are all dead, and the warlords of all sizes are almost dead. The next step is the final ending.

Subduing the indescribable excitement in his heart, Yuan Chonghuan immediately put on his outer robe and went to greet the imperial envoy in person.

"The governor was so anxious and confused that he even forgot about this!"

With the sound of horse hoofs and the sound of horse bells, Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji, who were aliased as Zhu Yong, Zhu Xuan, slowly appeared in front of Yuan Chonghuan and others.

Zhu Di directly showed his trump card.

None of them are stupid. Zu Dashou's whole family has died, so they have become a piece of fat in the eyes of the major warlords, who will eat them up sooner or later.

Yuan Chonghuan's eyes lit up, and a flash of light suddenly flashed in his mind, saying that Cao Cao had arrived, and he was worried that the situation in Ningyuan was about to be unstoppable, so the scapegoat came to his door automatically.

Yuan Chonghuan immediately led people to greet him and did his best to show off.

Zhu Di said calmly, his eyes scanning the surroundings, murderous intent looming in his eyes.

Wang Chengyin reminded.

"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict: Yuan Chonghuan, Governor of Ningyuan. Therefore, Yuan Chonghuan was removed from the post of Governor of Ningyuan, and all affairs of Ningyuan were handed over to Zhu Yong."

So they had to quickly find a hard and powerful backer for themselves, and who else could be harder and more powerful than the imperial court?

"Quick, please."

Zhang Hongmo, Liu Tianlu, Cao Gongcheng and others, while flattering Zhu Di, kept their eyes on the carts of military pay. They wanted to take the bulk of the money.

"yes."

In front of the gate of the Governor's Mansion, Yuan Chonghuan, Wang Chengyin, Man Gui, Zhao Lejiao, He Kegang, Wang Pingfan, Gao Dejie and Ningyuan who could speak well had all been waiting here for a long time.

There is nothing better than this when a person's mind changes when the tea is cold.

He didn't even care about showing off his reputation as Governor Yuan, who was his lifesaver. The key to stabilizing the subordinates of the dead warlord leader depended on those two special envoys!

Everyone hurriedly knelt down to listen to the holy will. In this place where the emperor was far away, the emperor did not have much deterrence, but they still had to rely on the emperor to survive. Without the military pay provided by the emperor, they would not be able to survive for long.

Zhang Hongmo, Liu Tianlu, Cao Gongcheng and others led the way, taking Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji to the Ningyuan Governor's Mansion.

Before the imperial edict was finished reading, the faces of everyone in Yuan Chonghuan became extremely ugly.

Yuan Chonghuan, in particular, looked as if he had eaten a dead rat, his face was livid and furious. He never dreamed that the emperor who had been deceived by him and could not tell the difference between east, west and north would actually want to replace him.

Generals loyal to the Ming Dynasty such as Man Gui, Zhao Lejiao, He Kegang, etc. were full of worries. Although Yuan Chonghuan worked in collusion with the major warlords, he was a man who could mediate after all. If Yuan Chonghuan was replaced rashly, the new "Zhu Yong" might not be

Able to withstand Jiannu's attack.

Wang Pingfan, Gao Dejie and other warlord leaders who survived the Sunflower Sword Guards were extremely dissatisfied. Yuan Chonghuan was the spokesperson of their major warlords. He could not only fight against the slaves, but also fight for their interests from the court.

Zhu Yong, whose name he had never heard of before, wanted to replace Yuan Chonghuan as soon as he came. I asked them if they had any opinions.
