Lijun Qingqi rushed forward.
Luo Chuan and Zhao Wuji, who were surrounded by everyone, chatted silently about things.
"This Du Rushan, a pure and pampered person, nine out of ten will be arrogant," Zhao Wuji said with some disdain, "At the same time, he likes to make random assumptions and flatter his wishes. Just when your father married Meng Not long after Fanxing, he somehow managed to marry the younger brother of Meng Xiaotian, the prefect of Yongchang County at that time, and the daughter of Meng Jingtian's family, who was also Meng Fanxing's cousin! For this reason, he even drove out his wife with a letter of divorce. Back to my parents’ house.”
When Luo Chuan heard this, he couldn't help but open his mouth in surprise.
Zhao Wuji caught a glimpse of Luo Chuan's expression from the corner of his eye, and couldn't help but smile slightly, "Du Rushan was very prosperous at that time, and his newly married wife often left the city and went in and out of the prefect's palace, which attracted everyone. You know, when Meng Fanxing's son grows up, Du Rushan's close relationship with the second young master, who calls him uncle, is even on the table."
When Luo Chuan heard that it was related to him again, he couldn't help but have a complicated look on his face.
Zhao Wuji did not say much about this matter, but said, "Originally, if there is a relationship, it is human nature to be closer, but the reason why Du Rushan committed suicide is that he not only associates with this second young master He was so close that he even flirted with the Meng family of Yongchang because of this relationship. You must know that Shangyuan City at that time was adjacent to the Sancang land of Yongchang County across the Shangyuan Mountain Pass. Such a general is what your father did not have. If you encounter such a difficulty, you will definitely have to deal with it once you have your hands free.
It was set up, but it was just a little earlier than expected. "
"But even if your father's position as governor was already very stable at that time, dealing with General Uehara is not as simple as just talking and chopping off his head," Zhao Wuji said with a real sigh this time. , "Not to mention that Du Rushan has been in the Uehara Army for many years, and most of the deployments are confidants, but the Du family's accumulated reputation in the military for hundreds of years is something that has to be considered, not to mention that there were many people in the army at that time. Du Rushan was not the only one who had a problem, so there was a matter of transferring troops from the south to the north based on your return home."
"When the Southern Army is transferred to the north, the Northern Army will naturally go south," Zhao Wuji said. "But it is rare for the Northern Army to go south and be led by the general himself. Although the second young master was already a supervisor of the Licheng garrison at that time, But neither Du Rushan nor Zhong Xian would act easily. Although they could not openly resist the order, what could they do if they just found some excuse to delay it, such as physical discomfort? At this time, there were two people He played a role, and the one who urged Du Rushan to go south to Baitong was Du Ruyong."
The expression on Luo Chuan's face became more and more complicated, and he sighed softly, "The other one is General Lu's first wife, Lu Sifan's mother, Zhong Shuanghua..."
Zhao Wuji turned to look at Luo Chuan and nodded, "Relatively speaking, although Zhong Xian has some personal contact with Yongchang and even received some money, but in the final analysis it is just greed. In recent years, the Zhong family has been willing to You have heard about Yuan's actions. In exchange for Zhong Xian's old life, the prefect's lineage will not blame the Zhong family.
In fact, it was a good deal. At least from what I heard, Zhong Xian left in a decent manner. Your father kept his promise and really didn't attack the Zhong family. As for you, if you heard this from Lu Dongfeng's wife, It is unlikely that he will be too harsh on the Zhong family, so this matter will be over. "
"But Du Rushan is different," Zhao Wuji said with a cold look on his face, "I said before, although this Du Rushan doesn't have much ability, he is not a complete general who can do it. He was a fool at the bottom. When the Uehara army led southward was about to arrive at Baitong, he had already become suspicious. He found a place to camp directly between Uehara City and Baitong City, close to the Fubo Mountains. Going further south, that place can be attacked, retreated or defended. You can even cross the Tuotuo River to directly attack and leave the city. Judging from the information I later visited the Military Affairs Office, the situation was actually quite tense at that time. On the one hand, it is difficult for your father to hold on for too long in Licheng. On the other hand, the army's movements are still too big, so that all armies show signs of instability. Luo Tianyu has no choice but to take a step forward. Dangerous move!"
Luochuan only slightly substituted into Zhao Wuji's words.
Situation, he looked solemn under the pressure of that situation.
Zhao Wuji looked at the sky again, as if he was missing someone, "On the one hand, he mobilized Baitong's army to secretly go north, and on the other hand, he sent a message to Zhao Gui, who was about to arrive at Baitong, to go south. The two sides formed an encirclement on Du Rushan's side, and at the same time sent Du Ruyong Go see Du Rushan, and then...take the opportunity to behead him!!"
Luo Chuan was shocked, "Sneaking into the army and beheading Du Rushan?
! "
Zhao Wuji nodded, "It was such a near-death mission. Du Ruyong, the assistant general, took it without hesitation. He even refused Luo Tianyu's proposal to bring two military marshals as his entourage and entered Du Rushan's camp alone. , after meeting Du Rushan face to face, at the moment of saluting and offering support, he shattered Du Rushan's heart with one blow, killing him on the spot!"
Luo Chuan frowned slightly, "How can this Du Ruyong survive?"
Zhao Wuji smiled, "According to the confessions of Du Ruyong and several captains and military commanders who accompanied Du Rushan, it was Du Ruyong who showed his affection to everyone, moved them with reason, and even promised them benefits. In short, he originally followed Du Rushan wholeheartedly. The people followed him southward to Baitong, and after being reorganized by Luo Tianyu, they were included in the current Baitong Army."
Luo Chuan understood the meaning of Zhao Wuji's words, shook his head and asked, "In Uncle Zhao's opinion, what can save Du Ruyong's life is whether I have more rules in Li County, or his Du family has more rules Some?"
"All of them," Zhao Wuji said lightly, "those who followed Du Rushan and camped in the Fubo Mountains are not stupid. Let them follow Du Rushan and compete with the generals in other war zones. Okay, let them sacrifice their whole family. Following him to rebel with their lives, in terms of what they thought Lijun was at that time, wouldn't it be the same as seeking death? On the other hand, they couldn't let go of the glory and wealth they had finally obtained. If even Du Ruyong died after Du Rushan's death, If they were killed, no matter what excuse they made up afterwards, they would never avoid being liquidated. But if they followed Du Ruyong's will, they would even use their merits to kill them.
He held it up and became the new face of the Du family. The original wealth of their group was restored. Therefore, as a prefect, there are some things that you don't need to know too clearly. However, after that battle, Zhao Gui still went north and went to Shangyuan to become the general who guarded a place, but Du Ruyong didn't even get a commendation. Your father also weighed the gains and losses. "
Luo Chuan nodded thoughtfully, and then looked to the north, "Uncle asked him to lead the Flying Bear Army northward, just to let him compete with Zhang Zifeng for the biggest wealth after this battle. But that kind of wealth, where can I find it?" It’s so easy to accept, so let’s take a look..."
