Ming Zuo

Chapter 777

Liu Dagong was an official in a different place, and only one son was serving him.

Zhao Sanyang returned Liu Dagong's body to his son.

"Although your father is an enemy of our side, he is loyal to his duties, is a clean and honest official, and has never harmed the people. We also admire it. Escort your father's body back to his hometown and bury him properly."

Zhao Sanyang gave Liu Dagong's son fifty taels of travel expenses, but he didn't feel embarrassed and let him go.

When Liu Dagong tried his best to resist the new army, his son had already foreseen the end.Although sad, but not much hatred for the new army.

Moreover, seeing that after the new army entered the city, Qiu did not commit any crimes, and even suppressed the local ruffians who took the opportunity to make trouble. Obviously, this army is for the sake of the common people.

Liu Dagong's son thanked him again and again, collected his father's body, and went home.

Having won Chuzhou, the task of the Fifth Division has not been completed.

They continued to go south and occupied Liuhe and Jiangpu respectively.

These two places belong to Nanjing Prefecture, but they are on the north bank of the Yangtze River.

In other words, the Fifth Division officially joined the Navy Squadron and looked at Nanjing from afar.

As long as you want to fight, you can cross the river at any time.

However, the officials in Nanjing are not clear about this situation.

Because the Yangtze River was cut off, no matter what happened in Jiangbei, the news could not be conveyed.

Compared with occupying Chuzhou, the battle of Luzhou Prefecture was more dramatic.

After Zhang Xianzhong retreated on the bank of the Huaihe River, he chose to break up with Gao Yingxiang and Li Zi and head south alone.

He was going in the direction of Luzhou.

On the way to the south over the Third Army, the Fourth Division got news of Zhang Xianzhong.

There is no way, all the people along the way were severely harmed by Zhang Xianzhong, it can be described as a purgatory on earth.When the new army saw each other, they were furious, how could they bear it?

Guo Wei also felt that Zhang Xianzhong could not let Luzhou Mansion suffer too much misfortune, after all, this will be the territory of Shandong in the future.

The fourth division began to accelerate.

The [-]rd regiment took the lead and rushed to the forefront of the whole army.

But when we came to Changfeng, the scouts who went out reported an interesting thing.

"Head, we have caught an official."

The head of the [-]rd Regiment is none other than Deng Xinghui, a well-known star in the entire army who is chased by women.

However, Deng Xinghui was extremely brave in fighting, and his strategy was extraordinary.

He was very curious when he heard that an official had been captured.

"bring it here."

Not long after, the scouts escorted a team to the front.

Deng Xinghui knew at a glance that this was a guard of honor unique to court officials.

The official was in his fifties, and he was full of style.Being escorted by the soldiers, he was so frightened that he almost knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

Now the Lianghuai area has already been in chaos because of the successive arrival of the Northwest Rebel Army and the Shandong New Army.Officials and generals from all over the country are not enough to guard the homeland. It is really puzzling that some officials ran out into the wild and held guards of honor.

This official didn't have much integrity. Facing the bayonet of the new army, he immediately confessed everything.

"Old man...Old man is the writing of Nanzhili admiral studying politics."

Hearing that it was Xuezheng, Deng Xinghui was a little disappointed.

It's no credit for such an upright official to be caught.

He planned to ignore this matter and let the people below detain Wang Zhiwen.

When he was about to arrive, he asked a lot.

"Where are you going?"

Wang Zhiwen still answered honestly.

"Old man... this old man intends to go to Luzhou to inspect his studies and politics, but he never wanted to meet a great general."

Hearing that Wang Zhiwen was going to Luzhou, Deng Xinghui changed his mind.

He acted like a villain.

"Old guy, do you want to die or live?"

"what?"

Wang Zhiwen was so frightened that he urinated and fell to his knees on the ground.

"General, spare your life! This old man will definitely ask his family to send money."

Deng Xinghui quickly suppressed his laughter and revealed his purpose.

"Old guy, if you want to survive, just follow us. If you can open the gate of Luzhou Mansion, it will be credited to you, otherwise..."

choke...

Deng Xinghui pulled out the knife, and the gleaming blade rested on Wang Zhiwen's neck. With his sinister voice, it was really scary.

"The head on your collar is going to be fed to the dogs."

Hearing that he was asked to co-operate in fraudulently opening the gate of Luzhou City, although Wang Zhiwen's face was pale with fright, he still nodded his head.

It doesn't matter whether Luzhou City is lost or not, his little life cannot be lost.

He was only in his fifties, and he managed to get into the official position of Xuezheng, and there were twelve concubines in his family who were as beautiful as flowers and jade.Wouldn't it be cheaper for others to just die like this?
"I obey the orders, I am willing to serve the general."

After surrendering to Wang Zhiwen, the Thirty-Three Regiment continued on its journey in the starry night.

At this time, Zhang Xianzhong had already arrived at the city of Luzhou.

The battle here is in full swing, and even Zhang Xianzhong is a latecomer.

It turned out that after the rebels from all walks of life went south, except for Zhang Xianzhong, Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng and others who went to Fengyang, the rest of the rebel leaders divided and plundered various places.

Huntian Wang and others fell in love with Luzhou and besieged it, but they never captured it.

Wu Dapu, the prefect of Luzhou, is quite capable and organized the city defense in an orderly manner.

The Northwest Rebels didn't have any siege weapons in their hands. They only relied on crowds and fought lively for several days, but they were still powerless.

Zhang Xianzhong joined in, also helpless.

At this time, news came from the rear, and the Shandong New Army caught up.The other leaders of the rebel army were not far away, but Zhang Xianzhong turned around and fled.

Anyone who can be the leader of the rebel army is as cunning as a ghost.

Seeing Zhang Xianzhong running away without saying hello, this new Shandong new army must be very scary.

The other northwestern rebels followed suit and left.

Lying on the top of the wall and watching the Northwest rebels retreat inexplicably, Wu Dapu felt lingering fear, fearing that there might be fraud, and made everyone be on guard.

As a result, for several days in a row, the outside of the city was calm, and the Northwest Rebel Army was never seen.

Wu Dapu sent some warriors out of the city to search in all directions, but there was no trace of the Northwest Rebels at all.

At this moment, everyone in the city thought that the Luzhou Mansion had been defended, and celebrated with each other, and unconsciously relaxed their vigilance.

At this moment, Wang Zhiwen's guard of honor came to the city of Luzhou.

Wu Dapu personally inspected the seals and official documents, and found nothing suspicious.

Of course not.

Wang Zhiwen is a serious court official.

Moreover, Wu Dapu had a relationship with Wang Zhiwen once, and now the indistinct similarities between the city and the city made him even more convinced.

The gate of Luzhou Mansion was opened, and Wu Dapu led the officials and gentry in the city to greet the gate in person.

Seeing Wang Zhiwen approaching surrounded by guards, Wu Dapu blamed him.

"Now that the battle situation is chaotic and rogues are rampant, why did Mr. Wang come here without authorization? What should we do if we encounter rogues?"

Wang Zhiwen's smile is not laughing, nor is crying.

"I...I don't want to come either! But I have to."

Wu Dapu was taken aback for a moment, not understanding why he made such a statement.

Just as he was about to ask a question, he suddenly felt that the guards around Wang Zhiwen seemed too tough.

Suddenly, a shadow hit his heart.

When I looked again, the guards around Wang Zhiwen suddenly showed a beastly smile...
