Alliance of the Heavens and Ming Dynasty

Chapter 133 Cleansing the Warlords 4
Yuan Chonghuan temporarily appeased Zhang Hongmo, Liu Tianlu, Cao Gongcheng and others with the gimmick of using military pay to make them take big shots, but it was still useless.

Panic is still spreading.

After Zu Dashou, Xia Guoxiang, Li Bensen, Ma Bao, and Guo Zhuangtu died one after another. The appearance of death was almost exactly the same as Zu Dashou.

Now, no one suspected that the death of Zu Dashou had something to do with Yuan Chonghuan. Yuan Chonghuan would not be so stupid as to make himself the target of public criticism, but it made Yuan Chonghuan even more anxious.

His suspicion was cleared, but the subordinates of those dead warlord leaders became explosive kegs, clamoring for him, Governor Ningyuan, to give an explanation all day long.

He is the governor of Ningyuan, and the generals under his command were killed under his nose, and he has to bear full responsibility.

Facing Xia Guoxiang, Li Bensen and other subordinates left by the warlord leaders, Yuan Chonghuan gritted his teeth with hatred, but there was nothing he could do.

Using money to appease Zu Dashou's subordinates like before did not work. The military salary is only so little. If all of them are given to the subordinates of the dead warlord leader, what should the soldiers of other warlords do? Maybe they will stir up mutiny.

"Master, the imperial envoy has arrived!"

Just when Yuan Chonghuan was at a loss, his deputy Wang Chengyin brought him good news.

"arrive."

Yuan Chonghuan's eyes lit up, and a flash of light flashed in his mind, saying that Cao Cao had arrived, and he was worried that the situation in Ningyuan was about to be overwhelmed, so the man behind him automatically came to his door.

God help me too!

"Quick, please."

Pressing down the unspeakable excitement in his heart, Yuan Chonghuan immediately put on his outer robe, and was about to meet the imperial envoy in person.

He didn't even care about showing the name of Governor Yuan, this was his savior, and the key to the stable death of the warlord leader's subordinates depended on those two special envoys!

"Master, Zhang Hongmo, Liu Tianlu, Cao Gongcheng and others have left the city to meet the special envoy!"

Wang Chengyin reminded.

"It's also Ben Du who was in a hurry and confused, and forgot about this!"

Yuan Chonghuan patted his forehead and ordered: "Call all the generals and go with the governor to meet the two imperial envoys."

"Yes."

Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji entered Ningyuan with an army of [-] under the leadership of Zhang Hongmo, Liu Tianlu, Cao Gongcheng and others.

Along the way, Zhang Hongmo, Liu Tianlu, Cao Gongcheng and others treated Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji with respect and courtesy.

None of them are stupid, Zu Dashou's family is dead, they become a piece of fat in the eyes of the warlords, and sooner or later they will be wiped out.

So they have to quickly find a strong and powerful backer for themselves, and this backer, who else is harder and stronger than the imperial court.

Under the protection of the imperial court, they first escaped from the jaws of the major warlords, and after a few years of insignificant development, they became the new warlords, continuing to be lawless.

Not only Zhang Hongmo, Liu Tianlu, Cao Gongcheng and other subordinates of Zu Dashou thought so, even Xia Guoxiang, Li Bensen and other subordinates also thought this way.

There is nothing like this when people take tea to cool down and their minds change.

"Master Zhu has worked hard from afar, why don't you find a place to stay and rest."

While flattering Zhu Di, Zhang Hongmo, Liu Tianlu, Cao Gongcheng and others kept their eyes on the carloads of military salaries. They wanted to take the big bucks for so much white money.

"I don't need it for the time being. I'd better go see Governor Yuan first. Your Majesty has an imperial decree to convey."

Zhu Di said indifferently, his eyes scanned the surroundings, and the murderous intent was looming in his eyes.

Zu Dashou, Xia Guoxiang, Li Bensen, Guo Zhuangtu, Ma Baoningyuan, all warlords, big and small, are almost dead, and the next is the final ending.

Yuan Chonghuan. He couldn't wait to meet this Dushi Yuan, whose merits and demerits were mixed.

"Sir, please."

Zhang Hongmo, Liu Tianlu, Cao Gongcheng and others led the way and took Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji to the Ningyuan Governor's Mansion.

In front of the Governor's Mansion, Yuan Chonghuan, Wang Chengyin, Man Gui, Zhao Liaojiao, He Kegang, Wang Pingfan, Gao Dejie, Ningyuan, and everyone who can speak have been waiting here for a long time.

Da da da

With the sound of horseshoes and the sound of horse bells, alias Zhu Yong, Zhu Di of Zhu Xuan, Zhu Zhanji slowly appeared in front of Yuan Chonghuan and others.

"Governor Yuan Chonghuan of Ningyuan led all the generals of Ningyuan to meet the special envoy."

Yuan Chonghuan immediately led people up to greet him, doing enough superficial work.

Even if Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji, the two imperial envoys, are not taken seriously in their hearts, they still cannot be neglected on the surface. They still need to rely on the imperial court in many places.

Zhu Di got off his horse, pretended to be flattered, and said, "Supervisor Yuan please get up."

Yuan Chonghuan didn't pay much attention to Zhu Di at first, so naturally he wouldn't be polite, and said immediately: "The governor has set up a banquet in the mansion to welcome the special envoy, please sit down and talk about it."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Zhu Di to refuse, he pulled Zhu Di to go inside, and his subordinates consciously carried the carts of military salaries brought by Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji.

"There is no rush to take over the matter of cleaning up the dust."

Zhu Di broke free from Yuan Chonghuan's pull, and his eyes signaled that Zhu Zhanji should get down to business.

Zhu Zhanji immediately understood, and knocked a soldier close to the military pay carriage to the ground with one punch, and the soldiers who followed also drew their knives at the same time to protect the military pay carriage.

"What do you mean, my lord?"

Yuan Chonghuan's face was extremely ugly, a mere special envoy to escort the military pay, dared to disrespect him so much in Ningyuan.

"The decree has arrived!"

Zhu Di directly showed his trump card.

Everyone hurriedly knelt down to listen to the holy will. In this place far away from the emperor, the emperor did not have much deterrent power, but they still depended on the emperor to live. Without the military salary provided by the emperor, they would not last long.

"By God, the emperor ordered: Yuan Chonghuan, governor of Ningyuan. Therefore, Yuan Chonghuan was resigned from the post of governor of Ningyuan, and all affairs in Ningyuan were entrusted to Zhu Yong."

There are a lot of crackling, but the core meaning is only one. Yuan Chonghuan is removed, and Zhu Di, whose pseudonym Zhu Yong is replaced, presides over Ning Yuan.

Before the imperial decree was finished, Yuan Chonghuan's faces became extremely ugly.

Especially Yuan Chonghuan, as if he had eaten a dead mouse, his face was ashen, and he was so angry that he never dreamed that the emperor who was fooled by him and couldn't tell the difference between southeast and northwest would actually change him.

Man Gui, Zhao Lengjiao, He Kegang and other generals loyal to Daming were full of worries. Although Yuan Chonghuan was in collusion with the major warlords, he was a man who could mediate. Can withstand the attack of Jiannu.

Wang Pingfan, Gao Dejie and other warlord leaders who survived the Sunflower Sword and Guard Sword were extremely dissatisfied. Yuan Chonghuan was the spokesperson of their major warlords. This Zhu Yong, who had never heard of the name, was going to replace Yuan Chonghuan as soon as he came, and asked them for their opinions.
