Red House Shoufu

Chapter 206 Counterattack
Jia Baoyu had never been so obedient, and sat obediently next to Jia Zheng.

Seeing that his son was fine, the worried Jia Zheng finally smiled.

He both knew Liu Xianglian and Ni Er, one was from the Liu family of Liguo Duke's Mansion, one of the Eight Dukes, and the other hung out on Ningrong Street all day long.

In Jia Zheng's impression, Liu Xianglian went to and from the place of fireworks, and as a noble son, she even went to perform operas and sing songs from time to time.Not to mention Ni Er, he is simply a gangster.

In the past, he was unwilling to let his son mix with such people.But today he really understands what righteousness means. Every time he slaughters more dogs, he can follow thousands of miles, wait for the opportunity to save people, and is not afraid of danger. This is simply a good man with unparalleled loyalty.

After repeatedly expressing his gratitude, Jia Zheng turned his attention to Lin Shu.

"Jinyu, do you think someone should send Baoyu and the others back to the capital first?"

Lin Shu pondered for a while and replied: "It is true that we have to send them back to the capital. Chaos has broken out in Henan, and the Daming Mansion is not a safe place. How about this, I have a few memorial documents that need to be sent to the capital, and I will send them back to the capital in the future. Let the messenger go back to Beijing. It’s a bit tiring, but it’s more secure in terms of safety.”

The imperial messenger, speed first, comfort can be imagined.Fortunately, a few of them were either Wu Xun's children or men who licked blood at the knife's edge. Their equestrian skills were still very good, but it was unknown whether the inner thighs could withstand the friction.

Jia Baoyu has no right to object, and the word safety is now what Jia Zheng is most concerned about.With the guards escorting him, he can rest assured.

But after Jia Zheng nodded, Liu Xianglian and Feng Ziying expressed their reluctance to return to Beijing almost at the same time.

Feng Ziying thought of her friends who were still trapped in the cabin, and wanted to find an opportunity to rescue them.

Liu Xianglian, on the other hand, was inspired by Jia Lian's great changes, and wanted to find a future in Henan, not to mention being a wolf and living as a Xu, but also to have the title of general.

Although he is the descendant of the Liu family of the Duke of Li, he was born as a concubine, so he can't be his own future children, and he is inferior to others!
Ni Er originally wanted to be with Liu Xianglian, but there is a rule for recruiting people in the imperial army, and they must be clean.Lin Shu could only express regret for his background as a local ruffian.

But Jia Lian still gave him a chance to stand out, the imperial army would not be able to enter, and he still lacked a few people to handle affairs.

Jia Lian still appreciates a righteous person like Ni Er.As the future Rong Enbo, the people under him can have various shortcomings, but the most important thing is loyalty.

Not to mention Jia Baoyu's reluctance, Lin Shu arranged for Ni Er to accompany Jia Baoyu, and returned to Beijing with the envoy of the imperial army early the next morning.

As for Liu Xianglian, Lin Shu directly recommended him to find Xu Jingsi, the position he can get depends on Liu Xianglian's own ability.

Lin Shu learned of the location of Shui Rong from Feng Ziying, and his first reaction was to send a letter to Kaifeng and the capital.

But it took too long to go back and forth to the capital, and when the emperor made a decision, the day lily was cold.As for Kaifeng, they are still too busy to take care of themselves.

Daming Mansion's military strength is limited. According to Feng Ziying's description of the situation of Shui Rong and his party, after years of planning, the power of the Shui family hidden in Henan is beyond imagination.

With only [-] people in his hands, he really wasn't a water-soluble opponent.The only way now is to wait until Zhongshun Wang Gao Yongheng's troops arrive.

On the third day of August, Qiuhu still continued the power of the July fire.Jia Baoyu and Ni Er had already left Fucheng with the messenger of the imperial army, and headed north to the capital.

Jia Zheng returned to his busy life, and together with Du Zimu, he dealt with the gentry and wealthy households in Daming Mansion.

The Bailian Sect bandits stormed for three days, but the city of Kaifeng was still firmly controlled by the British Duke Zhang Yue.Except for several counties around Kaifeng that had been breached, as reinforcements from all over the country arrived near Kaifeng, the Bailian bandits could only rely on their numbers and fought a protracted war with the government.

Due to the defeat in the Kaifeng War, the White Lotus Sect set its sights on Zhangde, Daming, Weihui and other prefectures in order to collect people's wealth and food.

Several groups of rebels also appeared in the Daming Mansion. Fortunately, Lin Shu had to be prepared, and all the counties under his rule had enough food, and even called the villagers from outside the city into the city to implement the policy of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness.

When Xu Jingsi lined up his troops, the well-equipped Forbidden Army was like harvesting, passing the news of victory to Lin Shu time and time again.

"Report! I report to the Imperial Envoy that His Royal Highness King Zhongshun has arrived thirty miles north of the city!"

opportunity finally arises!

Lin Shu got up excitedly, and said to Feng Ziying beside him, "Your chance has come! Come, come with me to meet the prince!"

……

Thirty thousand hidden guards appeared in front of the world for the first time.

The armor is black, and the banner is also black.On the black flag was embroidered a picture of a golden dragon orbiting the moon.

Following Gao Yongheng's order, the originally solemn army set up tents outside the city at an extremely fast speed and started cooking.

Lin Shu still wanted to ask Gao Yongheng to rest in the city, but he waved his hand and refused.

"This king is now the leader of an army. As a general, how can I leave the army and go to the city to enjoy myself."

"Your Highness is right, it was the lower officials who were negligent."

Lin Shu followed Gao Yongheng into the tent of the Chinese army, and without the slightest procrastination, he explained the situation Feng Ziying said and his own plan.

Gao Yongheng slapped the table and scolded angrily: "This bastard can really run, I... I searched all the way from the capital, but I was only three feet away from the ground, and I couldn't find even a hair. I didn't expect him to use the Zhen family's The identity escaped by water."

Gao Yongheng suffered a lot during this search.Between the two strands, the skin is worn away.Under the wind and sun, the originally handsome face was almost blackened to carbon.

He made a quick decision and took out a map to calculate the time when Shui Rong would arrive in Xingyang.

"Shui Rong goes upstream, and when there is a flood, the waterway of the Yellow River is not necessarily much faster than the land route. The king will set off tomorrow, and hurry up. It is best to stop him before he enters Xingyang City."

Lin Shu hurriedly persuaded: "According to the official's intention, regardless of whether His Highness can arrive in Xingyang in advance, we must let Shui Rong enter the city before we talk about countering the rebellion..."

Gao Yongheng asked puzzledly: "Why do you say that? If the water dissolves into the city, the siege of the city is inevitable. Wouldn't it just increase the casualties?"

"Your Highness, compared to taking down Shui Rong, the most important thing is to eradicate the Shui family's power that has been operating in Henan for decades. Although the Xingyang Zheng family is not as good as it was in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it still has a huge influence in Henan."

Lin Shu explained to Gao Yongheng: "According to the investigations of the officials these days, there are clansmen, in-laws, and old friends of the Zheng family in Henan and all the prefectures. The intricate relationship allows the Zheng family to indirectly control the whole of Henan. If you want to completely To eradicate this kind of local emperor, we must use sufficient evidence and enough crimes to convince everyone."

After listening to Lin Shu's explanation, Gao Yongheng was stunned: "This king understands. To catch the thief and seize the stolen goods, let the Zheng family take over with Shui Rong. It is best for them to openly rebel. According to the law, the rebellion is to punish the nine clans!"
