Great Military Division

Chapter 529 Final Battle!
Liu Ba was stunned.

He thought he had already grasped most of Chu Nan's corruption deeds.

but never thought
In the process of communicating with Wu Yun, he really realized that what he discovered was just the tip of the iceberg. This kid's corruption is definitely much more than he imagined.

"Humph!"

Even Liu Ba, who had tried hard not to lose his temper, couldn't help it now.

He snorted angrily, subconsciously clasped his palms into fists, and his voice was like thunder: "I really didn't expect that Chu Nan has embezzled so much! It seems that the matter is much more serious than I imagined."

Previously, Liu Ba could roughly guess that Chu Nan was suspected of corruption based on the financial reports of Zhongxing Bank outside Yizhou, but in fact, Liu Ba had no idea how much money he had embezzled.

But
At this moment, Liu Ba really realized that he still underestimated the potential of Yizhou.

Although the overall situation in Yizhou is relatively closed, it has also caused them to form a self-contained group, and the profits of certain things will be higher than they imagined.

This place is not like Luoyang and Nanyang. They have only a handful of competitors, and they only need to use a little trick to guarantee most of the profits.

Therefore, according to the normal rhythm, Yizhou's financial report should be far better than other places, but he couldn't even get the most basic rewards, and he really ate a lot of profits inside and out.

of course!

Part of this was eaten by the Yizhou gentry.

However, the rest of the profit was already far higher than Chu Nan's bonus. No wonder this kid didn't care about that bonus at all, because he had more gray income.

Wu Yun gave a bow, and said softly: "Liu Sicheng, the matter of Chu Nan is definitely more serious than you imagined, just my Wu family is like this, if you add other gentry, his power alone will be more serious than you think. , comparable to a small gentry in Yizhou."

"It's true."

Having said that, Wu Yun took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly.

Over the years, he had had enough of Chu Nan's extortion, so now he is not prepared to cover up this person at all: "In order to get rid of this person, I also sent people to investigate him for a long time."

After speaking, Wu Yun handed some materials to Liu Ba: "This is some evidence I found, but it is not perfect. I will hand it over to Liu Sicheng now, and I hope Liu Sicheng can punish this person according to law. .”

"rest assured."

Liu Ba took the documents with both hands, and nodded solemnly.

Afterwards, he casually flipped through some documents, his eyeballs rolled up and down, he was suddenly surprised, and gasped.

Chu Nan knew his account, and the imperial court would send people to check it frequently, so he found many relatives, opened accounts in various Zhongxing Banks, deposited the embezzled money in Zhongxing Bank, and even bought a large number of land equity certificates.

The content recorded above alone is worth at least several thousand gold. If you find out something that Wu Yun doesn't know, it will be worth tens of thousands of gold. I'm afraid it's not impossible!

call!
Suck!
Liu Ba took several deep breaths, trying to keep himself calm.

At this moment, he was already filled with anger, and he insisted on reporting Chu Nan to the court for disposal: "Don't worry, it's about Chu Nan, I will definitely tell His Majesty, and I will never let him go."

Wu Yun made a bow: "If Liu Sicheng can do this, I will be grateful. If Chu Nan doesn't get rid of it, God will not allow it. I am just suffering from scabies, but people like Chu Nan are suffering from elbow and armpits. .”

Liu Ba put away the evidence and continued to seal up the assets of the Wu family.

After a while, there was an announcement from outside:
"Report—!"

Liu Ba turned his head to look.

But I saw that the staff of my own bank came to Wu's mansion in a hurry, their expressions were extremely flustered, and when they met Liu Ba, they didn't even bother to salute, so they raised their fingers and pointed outside:

"Liu Sicheng!"

"The big thing is bad."

"Don't worry."

Liu Ba looked at the man who was out of breath, and hurriedly waved his hand to interrupt: "Take a breath and speak slowly."

The man took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm before he said: "After we rushed to Zhang's house, they were quite cooperative at first, but then suddenly a group of people came out to fight with the officers and soldiers."

"If Manager Chen hadn't sent the villain out to pick up the things, maybe the villain would have been killed by Zhang Su now. You should take someone to have a look. If it's too late, it might be too late."

Liu Ba was astonished: "Zhang Su really dares to rebel? He has some courage."

The man panicked in fright: "Liu Sicheng, you still... hurry up and take someone there, these guys have given the soldiers sweat medicine, and they can't hold it at all."

"it is good."

Liu Ba nodded, and immediately walked out of the room, shouting at the top of his voice, "Where is General Zhang?"

The burly Zhang Ren walked out of the side hall: "The last general is here, does Liu Sicheng have any orders?"

Liu Ba didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "Zhang Su and others rebelled and gave the brothers sweat medicine. Let's lead the troops there quickly, or it will be too late."

"what?"

Even Zhang Ren himself couldn't help being stunned: "How dare Zhang Su do this? It's simply unreasonable!"

Wu Yi on the side knew that this was an opportunity to make meritorious deeds, so he hurriedly said, "This is the case for Zhang Su, and the others are also possible. In order to prevent the situation from expanding, it is better for you to lead the troops over first, and I will report to the lord."

"Since they dare to rebel in the city, I'm afraid there will be others behind them. Remember to be careful and don't hurt yourself, otherwise there will be endless troubles."

Liu Ba glanced at Wu Yi.

He didn't quite trust Wu Yi at first.

But now, Wu Yi was willing to let Liu Ba investigate with his hands bound, and he cooperated very well. Perhaps he already knew that this was the imperial court's wish, so he did not resist.

That being the case, maybe I can trust Wu Yi: "Okay, go find Liu Shijun quickly, and let him immediately mobilize elite troops and control the streets to prevent accidents."

It's just a signal.

Once Zhang Su made a move, the rest of the gentry would definitely follow.

In this way, they will definitely move closer to Zhang Su's mansion, and he will become their shackles.

Liu Ba let Liu Yan control the streets. In a sense, he was encircling the spot to fight for aid.

It's just a little Zhang Su, Liu Ba doesn't take it seriously. For Zhang Su, there is no need to go to war. The Yizhou gentry who came to rescue and surround him is the real confidant.

Wu Yi also admired Liu Ba's keen reflexes. He was obviously only a Sicheng, but he was also proficient in the art of war and made the most accurate judgment in the shortest time.

Nanyang Hanting is indeed Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, which is admirable!
Wu Yi hastily cupped his hands: "Don't worry Liu Sicheng, leave it to me."

Immediately.

He turned his head to look at Zhang Ren: "Old Zhang, protect Liu Sicheng and stand up."

Zhang Ren patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry, with me here, no one can hurt Liu Sicheng."

"Brothers, gather quickly and follow me."

"Here."

*****
Zhang House.

The corpses were all over the field, and the blood flowed into rivers.

Zhang Su held a long sword, looked at everything in front of him, and let out a long breath: "I didn't expect that my lord actually assisted the Nanyang court. It is simply unreasonable to attack us."

Zhang Quan stood timidly on the side, his face was pale, without any blood, his body trembled subconsciously, as if he was extremely scared:
"Patriarch, if we do this, it will definitely attract Liu Shijun's attention. If he sends troops here, we may not be able to hold on, or we should run away."

"escape?"

Zhang Su turned his head and glanced at Zhang Quan, and the anger rushed into his throat: "Where are you going to run away? Are you running away fast, or Liu Yan is fast in chasing you? Now that the incident has happened, I will never run away!"

"But."

Zhang Quan was naturally aware of his Patriarch's temper.

Normally, he might be an inconspicuous little person, but once he is pushed into a hurry, he can do anything really, and he will be reckless about the consequences.

It is true that at this moment, Zhang Su was overwhelmed by anger, and even knowing that Liu Yan had defected to Nanyang Hanting, he still wanted to attack them.

Zhang Quan's throat rolled, and he couldn't help swallowing: "If Liu Shijun's troops come over, we probably won't be able to hold on for half an hour."

"Do not worry."

Zhang Su had expected this for a long time, and said with a long breath: "Zhang Ren has reinforcements, so don't we have no reinforcements? The Yizhou gentry have suffered for a long time, and this time we will settle the old and new scores together."

Zhang Quan didn't understand what it meant, and asked tentatively: "What does the Patriarch mean?"

Zhang Su turned his head and said: "Now, quickly organize your family, pack up your weapons, and build fortifications. The longer we delay, the higher the success rate."

Although Liu Yan controls the army in Yizhou, as a governing place, there are not as many troops that can be used as imagined. The troops of our side are indeed capable of competing with it.

If they fail, it's fine, the worst is death, but if they succeed by chance, they can force the palace, coerce Liu Yan to become their vassal, and start a confrontation with Nanyang.

Risk is directly proportional to profit!

Anyway, at this moment they have no way out, so they might as well fight to the death.

Zhang Quan bowed his body and cupped his hands, and said sonorously, "Here."

Immediately.

He turned away, calling out:
"Brothers, quickly clean up the battlefield and build fortifications."

"Here."

Immediately, the elite soldiers in the mansion began to move, those who carried the corpses carried the corpses, those who built wooden ladders built wooden ladders, and some even carried weapons, preparing to defend the mansion to the death.

Seeing that the crowd had already started to act, Zhang Su returned to the main hall, walked to the top, and his eyes fell on Chen Xiong: "I still say the same thing, if you are willing to cooperate with my actions, I can spare your life."

"otherwise."

Before Zhang Su finished speaking, Chen Xiong, who was dying, just smiled: "I still say the same thing, you kill me if you have the guts, and want me to cooperate with you? There is no way!"

Zhang Su said coldly: "Stinky boy, turn your elbows outward, don't forget, you are from Yizhou, rooted in Yizhou, at this critical moment, you should help us."

"I can promise you that as long as the matter is settled, I can recommend to His Majesty the Emperor that it is not impossible for you to become the owner of Zhongxing Bank and even become an official in Luoyang."

"I bother!"

Chen Xiong spit out a mouthful of foam, and sprayed it directly: "Don't think that you can win Nanyang if you catch me, Liu Sicheng will never let you go."

"I can assure you that they will come here in a short time, and you, after all, are just a corpse, how dare you speak nonsense here?"

"madness!"

"Fool!"

Every word of Chen Xiong's words was like a sharp sword, stabbing fiercely at Zhang Su's heart.

Zhang Su gritted his teeth, and the muscles at the corners of his lips kept twitching, as if his anger had reached its limit, as if he was about to erupt completely in the next second, tearing Chen Xiongsheng alive.

but
Zhang Su would not be so stupid.

Chen Xiong was the only important hostage in his hands, and he was reluctant to let Chen Xiong die until the critical moment.

Suppressing his anger, Zhang Su said coldly: "Chen Xiong, you have to be clear, we are not trying to fight against Nanyang Hanting, but just want to resist a little and fight for some rights."

"Humph!"

Chen Xiong let out a sneer, and said indifferently: "Although I don't know what His Majesty the Emperor will think, but your way of fighting for rights and interests will only anger His Majesty."

"Your Majesty is young, but within a few years, he has swept the world and dominated the world. Can such a person be threatened by a small Yizhou?"

"Zhang Su!"

Chen Xiong simply called him by his first name, and his words were full of disdain: "You are an out-and-out idiot! If the Yizhou gentry is headed by you, it will surely usher in a catastrophe."

"You can kill me, but I believe that you will come down to accompany me in a short time. Maybe I can wait for you. When we get to Huangquan Road, we will settle the old and new scores together."

"Hahahahaha!"

"Hahahaha!"

"Hahaha!"

"."

Almost crazy laughter sounded, Chen Xiong's face was full of disdain for Zhang Su, and the sparkle in his eyes was like a sharp sword, stabbing Zhang Su's heart fiercely.

Zhang Su gritted his teeth, furious, and subconsciously clenched his fists. Although he couldn't kill Chen Xiong yet, he got up and ordered again: "Hit, hit me hard!"

The servant beside him cupped his hands: "Here."

Immediately.

The two strong men picked up the dying Chen Xiong and dragged him out. It was a violent attack like a torrential rain, hitting Chen Xiong torn to pieces, and howling non-stop.

"Report—!"

At this moment, there was a rapid announcement from outside the hall.

Zhang Su looked up.

But seeing Zhang Quan hurried into the hall, his expression was extremely flustered, he didn't even bother to salute, so he raised his finger to the outside of the hall: "Patriarch, something is wrong, Liu Ba and Zhang Ren have brought troops over."

Zhang Su had expected it a long time ago, and his face was relatively calm: "How many soldiers and horses do they have? Is there any movement from Liu Yan?"

Zhang Quan frowned and shook his head: "Whether there is any movement from Liu Yan is unclear for the time being, but Liu Ba and Zhang Ren should only have a thousand soldiers, just as the captives said, they came in two ways. "

call-

Zhang Su let out a foul breath, knowing that the most difficult moment had finally come.

He waved his big hand and walked out: "Go, and meet these two guys."

Zhang Quanying said yes, and immediately followed.

*****
State Shepherd House.

study.

Liu Yan put down the scroll, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but it was only for a moment, and then disappeared: "Zhang'er, you mean that Zhang Su attacked our army?"

"Yes."

Liu Zhang nodded affirmatively, and explained: "It was our spies outside Zhang Su's mansion who reported it. At first, Zhang Su cooperated wholeheartedly, but after they relaxed their vigilance, Zhang Su took action."

hiss-!
Surprised, Liu Yan gasped involuntarily.

He pinched the goatee under his chin, frowned, and tried to ask: "How many people are there in Zhang Su's mansion? How dare he attack our soldiers and horses? Could it be that he has had the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard, can't he?" "

"No."

Liu Zhang bowed his hands and said softly: "Master Zhang Su brought water to the brothers, saying that they had worked hard, but in the end he poured sweat medicine into the water, and hundreds of soldiers fell in an instant."

"And at this time, the ambushing soldiers and horses in Zhang Su's mansion swarmed up and killed all the soldiers who didn't drink water. Only a few soldiers escaped."

"I want to come."

Liu Zhang let out a sigh of relief, with disbelief written all over his face: "They should have arrived at Wu Yi's mansion by now. If the expectations are not bad, General Zhang will arrive at Zhang Su's mansion soon."

"Father."

Speaking of this, Liu Zhang bowed and saluted: "What should we do now?"

In fact, Liu Yan had already expected that there would be a rebellion, so he said calmly and without panic: "Spy from various families in the city, do you have any news now?"

Liu Zhang shook his head and said softly, "Not yet."

Liu Yan nodded and thought for a moment: "That being the case, don't worry, it's not too late for us to do it when they make any noise. We didn't wipe out these remnants before, so this time we should do some finishing work for His Majesty the Emperor. "

Although His Majesty the Nanyang Emperor didn't say it clearly, Liu Yan, who has been in the officialdom for a long time, still guessed the emperor's mind. Anyway, he had let go and did the last thing within his power for the Han court.

Although it is very likely that he will bear a certain amount of infamy in the future, Liu Yan is willing. The newborn man should have a brand new look, an emperor without blemishes.

Only in this way can the big man go further. Perhaps, by virtue of this, he can continue to survive for 200 years or even longer, and he is just a grain of sand in the river of history after all.

"Father."

Liu Zhang was naturally aware of his father's situation, so he hurriedly reminded him, "I'm afraid you risk doing this."

However, before the words finished, he was interrupted by Liu Yan waving his hand: "Zhang'er, father is already old, and his body is getting worse every year. Maybe he won't live long. If that's the case, there's nothing to worry about."

"You can't do anything about this matter. It's all under father's command. Whether it's crimes or infamy, father alone can bear it all."

"Father."

"obedient!"

"Here."

Liu Zhang had no choice but to surrender.

But in fact, deep down in his heart, he didn't want his father to make such a sacrifice.

Regardless of whether his previous father had the intention of treason or not, at this moment, Liu Zhang knew in his heart that his father's heart was for the Han Dynasty from the beginning to the end.

He admired such a father, from the bottom of his heart!
"Report—!"

At this moment, there was a long sound of announcement outside the study.

A servant came in from the outside, bowed his body and cupped his hands and said, "Patriarch, Young Master, General Wu has something urgent to see you."

The corners of Liu Yan's lips raised slightly: "It's just in time, let him in."

The attendant cupped his hands: "Well."

Immediately.

He bowed and left the study.

Not long after, Wu Yi hurried over, bowed his body and cupped his hands and said, "My lord, Zhang Suzao."

Before Wu Yi finished speaking, he was interrupted by Liu Yan waving his hand: "Okay, I already know, you put on your armor quickly, and you will lead all the elite in my mansion."

"what?"

Wu Yi was taken aback for a moment.

He couldn't believe his ears.

My lord, actually already knew the news of Zhang Su's rebellion?
Liu Zhang waved his hand and said, "General, the battle armor has been prepared for you, and the elite of the government are already waiting, so you should hurry up and prepare."

Wu Yi glanced back at the battle armor hanging on the side, nodded solemnly and said, "Okay."

Afterwards, he took the initiative to step forward, and with Liu Zhang's help, put on his battle armor, hung his sword, and put on his helmet: "My lord, the last general, Wu Yi, is waiting for orders and is ready to set off at any time."

"kindness."

Liu Yan nodded: "No hurry, just wait."

Wu Yi cupped his hands and cupped his fists: "I don't know what my lord is waiting for?"

Liu Yan said softly: "Zhang Su can't do it alone, he must have accomplices, if they don't move, we don't have to move either."

Wu Yi immediately understood Liu Yan's thoughts, but he still had concerns: "My lord, the troops in the city are limited. If we fight passively, we may face unnecessary trouble."

"What Liu Sicheng means is, let us take the initiative to control the various streets, so that we can deter the reactionary forces in the city, and perhaps our pressure will be relieved a lot."

The corners of Wu Yi's lips curled up slightly, and a faint smile appeared: "I didn't expect this Liu Sicheng to know military affairs. He is indeed a talent, but it's a pity that he doesn't understand what His Majesty is thinking."

"My lord, what do you mean"

Even Wu Yi didn't understand the truth.

"No need to ask."

Liu Yan didn't bother to explain, he just waved his hands and said: "Just follow my orders. Although the troops in the city are insufficient, we will definitely win this battle. Don't worry."

Wu Yi frowned, still a little confused.

But
He didn't ask any more.

Over the years, he has always been like this when working with Liu Yan, and he is used to it.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, suddenly there was a rapid announcement:

"Report—!"

"The Jia family in Shizifang in the south of the city has sent out soldiers and horses, with a strength of about three hundred."

"okay, I get it."

"."

"Report—!"

"The Wang family in Shenglifang in the south of the city has dispatched soldiers and horses, with a strength of about four hundred."

"Well, continue to inquire."

"."

Five or six news in a row, all of which were reinforcement routes for the Yizhou gentry.

Liu Yan was still relatively calm, but Wu Yi who was standing beside him couldn't sit still: "My lord, the opponent's military strength far exceeds the elite of our mansion. If this continues, we may lose."

"Do not worry."

Liu Yan waved his hand to signal him not to panic, and said with a long breath, "Hurry up here, intercept and kill the enemy's reinforcements, and take all the soldiers and horses with you, there must be no mistakes."

"what?"

Wu Yi was stunned: "My lord, what should you do?"

Liu Yan waved his hand: "I'm fine. Now it's mainly you. If you can handle it, your Wu family must have a chance. Go quickly. It will be bad if others take credit for you."

Wu Yi gritted his teeth, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, take care, I will leave a small team at the mansion."

Liu Yan nodded: "Okay, let's go."

Wu Yi: "Here."

After Wu Yi left, Liu Zhang frowned and said softly, "Father, do you think that there are others who have taken credit from General Wu?"

Liu Yanyan smiled lightly: "Of course, don't forget, His Majesty the Emperor of Nanyang never fights a battle unprepared."

Liu Zhang was surprised: "Father, do you think so?"
