General Yuan Chong returned to the command yamen.
"Have you left the city?" Yuan Chaoju held a tureen in his hand and slowly blew the hot air from it.
Yuan Chong nodded slightly and said, "The child watched him leave the city with his own eyes. Also leaving with him were the more than a thousand soldiers and horses controlled by the Wang family."
"It doesn't matter if we leave the city. Without Wang Hu, only the Sun family will not be able to make any trouble. From now on, the Zhenwu Guard will only be controlled by our Yuan family." Yuan Chaoju took a sip of the tea in the bowl.
Yuan Chong said with a smile: "My child thought it would be troublesome to let Wang Hu leave the city. Unexpectedly, he was so excited that he foolishly left the city by himself and issued a military order, which saved us a lot of trouble."
"Wang Hu left the city so happily, which is indeed a bit beyond my father's expectations. Although he has an impatient temper, he shouldn't leave the city so recklessly. Today's things are too simple, and there are weird things everywhere." Yuan Chaoju showed a little smile. meditation.
After hearing this, Yuan Chong laughed and said: "My child thinks it's normal. Wang Hu has a bad temper. In addition, the Yanmen garrison was destroyed. The thousands of households stationed there are members of the Wang family. It's not enough for him to rush out of the city to make meritorious deeds." Surprising."
"Well, what you said makes sense." Yuan Chaoju nodded lightly.
Yuan Chong walked to the seat beside him, sat down, picked up the fragrant tea brought by his servants, took a big sip, and said: "The rebel army must be strong enough to take over the Xuanda and Dafus. Wang Hu It will be difficult to achieve meritorious service by bringing so many people out of the city this time. Even if he does not die, the strength of the Wang family will be severely damaged. It depends on whether our Yuan family will use him to convict him or keep him as an obedient dog. Whatever our Yuan family wants to do, the Sun family, since we have a Jinshi, may not be so easy to move."
"Sun is indeed a trouble." Yuan Chao raised his hand and twirled his beard, looking thoughtful.
Yuan Chong said: "It's nothing if it's just Sun Qianhu, but Sun Boya is a civil servant. We can't touch him. If one of those civil servants casually touches one, the other civil servants will bite him like a mad dog and won't let go."
"Let's see about the Sun family later! Once Daizhou City is defended, we Yuan family members can promote more people and take control of important positions in Zhenwu Guard. Even if one Sun family is left behind, there won't be much of a threat." Yuan Chaoju also had a headache due to the loss of a civil servant.
The Sun family is different from the Wang family of Zhenwuwei.
The main force of the Wang family is in the Yanmen garrison. Now that Yanmen Pass has fallen, the Wang family has become guilty. Even if they defend Daizhou City, they will only be guilty of meritorious service at most, and there is no possibility that they will be liquidated.
On the contrary, the Sun family is the weakest among the three families. However, it has produced a Jinshi and achieved six titles. Even if Xianfu is at home, no one can guarantee that he will be resurrected one day.
Offending the Sun family was completely worth the loss for him and the Yuan family.
"My son, let's go take a look at the city. The bandit army has been guarding Yanmen Pass for two days. I'm afraid they will come to Daizhou City soon." Yuan Chong stood up and offered to defend the city.
Yuan Chaoju nodded.
On the other side, Wang Hu was riding a tall horse and was wearing bright armor.
Around him, there were also well-armed generals, each with a horse.
What followed was a group of ordinary soldiers walking in disorder. Not many of these people wore armor. Most of them just wore ordinary civilian clothes. Their faces were withered and yellow. Most of them were thin and had hands. Many of the spear heads inside were rusty.
The soldiers in these camps look more like ordinary people than soldiers in the army.
However, in fact, a few days ago, most of the soldiers were still working for the military households of Qianhu and Baihu. Only because of the attack of the rebel army, they were temporarily recruited by the Baihu and Qianhu below to form such a temporary army. The troops formed.
"Are you ready?" Wang Hu asked a man who was following him.
The opponent's surname is also Wang, and he is from the same clan as Wang Hu. He has not even released the fifth server yet. Now he is the leader of Wang Hu's personal soldiers and is responsible for Wang Hu's safety.
The man who was called by Wang Hu said: "General, don't worry, the people have been controlled a long time ago. Come with us out of the city."
"Okay, keep an eye on him and don't let him escape. Whether we can survive or not depends on him." Wang Hu said.
The man nodded solemnly.
The Qianhu Station where Wang Hu went was not far away, only seven or eight miles away from Daizhou City.
After spending an hour, the army finally arrived at the Qianhu Station.
Wang Hu picked a better house and moved in.
"General, we've brought them here." A soldier guarding outside came into the room to announce.
Wang Hu took a sip of hot tea and said, "Bring people in!"
The soldiers retreated to the door and waved outside.
Soon, two more soldiers came in escorting a man.
"The young one has met the general."
The man who was escorted in knelt down in front of Wang Hu.
Wang Hu looked up and down and asked, "I want to know when the bandits will arrive at Daizhou City?"
"I don't know." The man kneeling on the ground shook his head.
Wang Hu said: "Since you are the person sent by the bandit army to contact me, how can you not know when the bandit army will arrive? If you deceive me like this, are you not afraid that I will have your head chopped off?"
"I really don't know," the man said with a wry smile, "I'm just a messenger, not the other party's person. If Yanmen Pass hadn't been captured, I would still be stationed at Yanmen Pass with Wang Qianhu."
He was one of the three people sent to Daizhou City by Wang Yuncheng, and he was also the former chief of Tian Qi.
Wang Hu stared at the other person for a long time, feeling that the person in front of him didn't look like he was lying, so he continued to ask: "If I send someone to go to Yanmen Pass with you to meet the person behind you, can you do it?"
"That's okay. You can contact me if you're young." The man nodded repeatedly.
The scene suddenly became quiet.
Wang Hu and the Sun family were speechless. They each lowered their heads and fiddled with the cup lids in their hands.
Yuan Chaoju, who received no response, raised his eyebrows and said in a feint of anger: "The rebel army has arrived at the door of the house. You two are not still thinking about fighting among themselves. Boya, you are very knowledgeable, so come here."
Sun Chuanting was stunned for a moment when his name was suddenly called. He didn't expect that the other party suddenly came to him as he was talking.
Wang Hu and the head of the Sun family looked at Sun Chuanting.
"I support the old general's suggestion. The conflicts between the three families have been suspended. The first thing is to defend Daizhou City. And I think we should recruit young men to defend the city and prepare more tools to defend the city." Sun Chuanting said.
Wang Hu said: "Didn't you send someone to Taiyuan Mansion to ask for help?"
"It has been sent. However, before the reinforcements from Taiyuan Prefecture arrived, the rebel army had already arrived at Daizhou City." General Xiao Yuan said.
"Then arrange more manpower to defend the city. Like Brother Sun said, recruit young men to go to the city to defend the city. The big families in the city will provide money and food." Wang Hu said.
Yuan Chaoju, who was sitting on the main seat, stroked his beard.
