Hold His Hand

The morning morning on this day didn't start until after noon, and it didn't end until dark.

Although Xie Chengze gave the officials of the DPRK and China a blow, but these officials still did not cooperate very much afterwards.

Xie Chengze went smoothly and killed a few more.

There are many crimes, and there are many people on his must-kill list. He can kill slowly.

In the process, he can also investigate other people's crimes and kill a few more.

He wanted the family that had gnawed away the big swallow to fall apart in his hands.

He is also paving the way for Lu Yanzhou.

If these people are not resolved, Lu Yanzhou will inevitably encounter many resistances from the aristocratic family in the future.

But when he disintegrates the power of the aristocratic family and kills them, when Lu Yanzhou comes to the capital, he will naturally be regarded as the savior by these people.

When the time comes, they will obey Lu Yanzhou's orders and will work for Lu Yanzhou.

Xie Chengze originally didn't plan to do so much, but Lu Yanzhou has been writing to him for several years, weaving a sweet dream for him, and he always wants to give Lu Yanzhou some thanks.

If he went too far, he could give Lu Yanzhou a good reason to kill him.

Xie Chengze returned to his residence and asked his servants to clean up the house where he and Lu Yanzhou lived tomorrow.

He's been living elsewhere for a few years, but now... he wants to go back.

Back at the place where he lived alone, Xie Chengze took out the letter that Lu Yanzhou had written to him recently and read it.

When Lu Yanzhou wrote this letter, the Wang family had not yet arrived at Lu Yanzhou's place, so the letter was as affectionate as ever.

The letter was very long, but Xie Chengze had read it several times, and he could already recite some fragments.

After reading the letter written by Lu Yanzhou, he took out the letter written by Xie Jia and read it.

Xie Jia also called him "Master", and then wrote out all of Lu Yanzhou's recent actions, the meaning is obvious - Lu Yanzhou has always been thinking about him, and there is no one else around him.

Xie Chengze didn't believe it.

Xie Jia is now one of Lu Yanzhou's generals. To be valued by Lu Yanzhou so much means that he must be loyal to Lu Yanzhou and help Lu Yanzhou.

Xie Jia should be coaxing him with Lu Yanzhou.

But he loves it.

The letters let him tell himself that he was always loved.

Xie Chengze went to bed early, but the aristocratic family in the capital had already become frightened.

Going to court today, for them, is like walking around the gate of hell.

They no longer remember what they discussed when they went to court today, they only remembered that when they went to court, there were eunuchs cleaning up the blood inside and outside the hall.

The smell of blood made them want to vomit, and the sound of splashing water and cleaning made their scalps tingle. In their eyes, the hall had become hell, and Xie Chengze, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was clearly King Yama!

None of them knew how they got home!

"Xie Chengze has gone crazy."

"He knows he won't live long, and he wants to drag all of us to be buried with him!"

"What should I do? Do you want to go to court tomorrow?"

……

They will die if they don't go to court, and they may not be able to live if they go to court!

After everyone despaired, they began to hope that someone could save them.

"Why haven't Sun Chongshao and Yan Hang come to the capital yet?"

"No matter who it is, hurry up to the capital and kill Xie Chengze!"

"We can't be discouraged. No matter how crazy Xie Chengze is, when the rebels enter the capital, he will definitely not end well!"

"I want to live well and wait to see Xie Chengze die!"

"Xie Chengze's fate must be worse than ours!"

……

After thinking that Xie Chengze would have a miserable future, these officials finally felt a little better.

This night, some officials who thought they had integrity and could not submit to eunuchs hanged themselves at home.

However, the vast majority of people obediently went to court the next day.

Some people who were afraid of death even behaved obediently and flattered Xie Chengze.

In the end, Xie Chengze said that this person was too ugly, so he was dragged out and chopped up.

Xie Chengze's appearance was moody in the eyes of those officials, but Xie Chengze and Xie Chengze's confidantes knew that the official who was killed because of his ugly appearance was actually a villain with many crimes.

Afterwards, Xie Chengze killed a few more people on the grounds that he didn't like someone's beard or that someone looked at him wrongly.

When the officials left the palace that day, their faces were all pale, and some of them fell to the ground as soon as their legs gave way as soon as they left the palace.

Xie Chengze looked at these people from a distance, and he was in a good mood.

"Godfather, you can disclose the crimes of those people." Sheng Yuan said.

Xie Chengze killed those who deserved to be killed. If he made public the crimes of these people, then these officials would not be so afraid, and the people in the capital would not regard Xie Chengze as a man-eating demon.

Xie Chengze said: "It's not necessary."

"Godfather!" Sheng Yuan was a little anxious.

Xie Chengze raised the corner of his mouth: "Even if I announce the crimes of these people, others will not believe it."

"Then Yan Hang..." Sheng Yuan frowned. If Xie Chengze was doing harm for the people, then when Yan Hang came, he could naturally let Xie Chengze go.

But now that Xie Chengze is acting so capriciously, can Yan Hang let him go?

Xie Chengze showed a gentle expression: "Don't worry, Yan Hang is upright and won't blame me."

Sheng Yuan was speechless.

His godfather has never met Yan Hang, so why does he trust Yan Hang so much?

No matter how good Yan Hang is, if the people around Yan Hang want him to kill Xie Chengze, how can Yan Hang keep Xie Chengze?

What's more, Xie Chengze killed the emperor!

Which emperor can keep the person who killed the emperor alive?

Xie Chengze said at this time: "Okay, Sheng Yuan, let's talk about something else, such as finding a reason to kill someone tomorrow."

Sheng Yuan: "..."

People outside were not aware of the situation in the capital, but at this time, Lu Yanzhou brought a group of people and was cooking.

They have just finished a day of rapid march, and now they are going to rest.

In Lu Yanzhou's team, ordinary soldiers and generals ate food differently, but the difference was not big.

Anyway, like Dayan, the soldiers eat bran and swallow vegetables, but the children of the aristocratic families who lead the soldiers have a bunch of servants. Not only the delicacies of mountains and seas along the way, but also the scene of leisurely reciting poems and painting does not exist here.

In fact, Dayan once sent troops to exterminate him as a traitor, but the troops arrived very slowly, and he even had to wait for the other party for two days.

Waiting for people to finally come... Lu Yanzhou was also eye-opened by the fact that the generals born in the aristocratic family drove ordinary soldiers to be cannon fodder, and the fighting method mainly relied on the servants carefully trained by their own family.

At that time, he killed the general and his servants. As for those ordinary soldiers... now they are serving as soldiers under his hands. They are eating multigrain bread and salted fish.

Lu Yanzhou has obtained a lot of resources from the sea over the years.

Sunning salt, fishing, and even raising ducks by the sea, he did not miss out.

Therefore, when marching and fighting, his soldiers can guarantee a piece of salted fish every day, and salted duck eggs to eat from time to time.

Ordinary soldiers in the army basically eat salted fish with dry food, as well as freshly cooked kelp soup and seaweed soup, while generals can get some other types of food according to their ranks, such as bacon, jerky, noodles such as.

Lu Yanzhou is sitting next to a pot of porridge eating jerky.

The staple food of the generals is also multigrain noodles, but there are more hot porridge to drink, as well as dried meat and sauerkraut fried in oil.

Everyone sat on the ground and ate.

Father and son Wang Tingyun and Wang Pinghou didn't want to sit down at first, but they were too tired, so they sat down anyway.

They didn't want to eat such a big pot of rice, but they were so hungry that they ate anyway.

The gentle Wang father and son, whose beards have been carefully trimmed, are now grinning and fighting with jerky.

They didn't need to come, but Wang Tingyun wanted to make a contribution, so he said that he knew the situation in the capital better and wanted to follow.

Lu Yanzhou thought that he would have to deal with aristocratic families in the future, and Wang Tingyun was sensible, so he brought him along.

And along the way, Wang and his son, who had no previous experience in marching, really suffered a lot.

But hard work is hard work, and after seeing the situation of the army led by Yan Hang, they became more and more convinced that Yan Hang could win.

His soldiers are strong and well-armed, and his orders prohibit trusting officers...

That's all for the elite private soldiers raised by the family!But how can the number of private soldiers they raise compare to the number of Lu Yanzhou's army?

Wang Tingyun swallowed a mouthful of jerky with difficulty, and asked, "General Yan, do you have a way to make salt?"

Soldiers who march and fight need to eat a lot of salt in order to have strength.

But salt is expensive, and Dayan's army will not give enough salt to ordinary soldiers anyway.

Lu Yanzhou's army is different, his soldiers eat salted fish.

After Wang Tingyun tasted the salted fish, he was sure that the salt used to marinate the salted fish should be high-quality salt.

Lu Yanzhou didn't hide anything: "Yes, I have a way to make salt!"

"There is plenty of salt on the market in the past two years..."

"I sold it." Lu Yanzhou said.

"If General Yan doesn't sell salt, the combat effectiveness of Sun Chongshao's army should be greatly reduced." Wang Tingyun said.Generally, in troubled times, the price of salt will skyrocket, but in recent years, there is a lot of salt on the market, and the price of salt is also cheap.

He didn't know what was going on before, but now he knew that it was Yan Hang who did it.

Lu Yanzhou said: "The common people also want to eat salt. If I don't sell it, the life of the common people will be difficult."

In this era, there is no one to dry salt, so the output of salt is not high, and the transportation is inconvenient, so the price is not cheap.

But after Lu Yanzhou started drying the salt...he really didn't lack salt.

He also has an army to transport salt, and he can transport salt to various places.

"General Yan is very kind!" Wang Tingyun said.

Lu Yanzhou smiled, took another sip of porridge, and asked someone to serve the porridge, put a spoonful of sauerkraut in it, and gave it to some soldiers.

Soldiers who received such honors naturally made contributions in previous battles.

Seeing Lu Yanzhou like this, Wang Tingyun couldn't help asking: "General Yan, why are you in such a hurry to stop Sun Chongshao? I'm afraid the current situation in the capital is not very good. Xie Chengze is at the end of his rope, so maybe he will do something... What do you want me to do?" Sun Chongshao goes to the capital first, but can reap the benefits of the fisherman."

Others may think that going to the capital first will not only gain a better reputation, but also gain access to many resources in the capital and the support of those aristocratic families.

But Wang Tingyun knew very well that his nephew was not simple.

Sun Chongshao surrounded the capital first, and he was going to face Xie Chengze. At that time, Sun Chongshao would not only not be able to take advantage of it, but might also suffer heavy losses.

What's more, Sun Chongshao may not be able to attack the capital at all!

It would be the most cost-effective for Lu Yanzhou to wait until the strength of both sides has been depleted before entering the field.

Wang Tingyun thought so, and the rest of Lu Yanzhou's subordinates actually thought so, so they asked questions one after another.

Lu Yanzhou said: "You can't let Sun Chongshao go to the capital first, the capital is mine!"

It is indeed more orthodox to be the first to capture the capital. Wang Tingyun was about to say a few words when he heard Lu Yanzhou say again: "My family is still in the capital."

Everyone was shocked.

It is well known that Yan Hang has a very precious wife.

It's just that that person only exists in the mouth of Yan Hang and the veterans around Yan Hang. Others have never seen her, and they don't know who she is at all.

Everyone thought that Yan Hang hid her tightly because he was afraid that someone would hurt her in the troubled times. She should be hiding somewhere isolated from the world, isn't it?

This person is actually...in the capital?

"I'm in a hurry to go to the capital, just to save him." Lu Yanzhou looked at his subordinates, "Except for those from the Wang family, you have been with me for a long time. You know someone has been sending me things, right? It's all from him." Yes! You have all eaten the food he sent, and you are wearing the weapons and armor he sent. All the new gadgets in my hand are also related to him. Without him, I would not be what I am now. And without you!"

Everyone's expressions became serious.

Lu Yanzhou said again: "That's why I leave it here, he is more important than me! When we go to the capital, it doesn't matter if you don't respect me, if you don't respect him, I will challenge you to a duel!"

For a long time, Lu Yanzhou not only gave Xie Chengze the credit for sending things to his "Madam" who had never appeared before, but he also told people that his family members did some of the things he asked people to do.

Therefore, although his subordinates have never met the mistress, they still respect the legendary mistress very much.

"General, we must respect Madam."

"That winter, if Madam hadn't sent food, my family might have starved to death! Then I will do whatever Madam asks me to do!"

"We will definitely rescue Madam!"

……

For a while, the crowd was furious, and they all clamored to go to the capital to save people.

This fighting spirit is quite good, but... Xie Chengze probably doesn't need their rescue.

Lu Yanzhou stopped Sun Chongshao because he was afraid that Sun Chongshao would hurt Lu Yanzhou.

"I don't know what the capital looks like now. Is Madam okay?"

"General, have you arranged enough manpower around Madam?"

"Xie Chengze is ruthless..."

"Stop!" Lu Yanzhou frowned, "I said, Xie Chengze has always served the people, much better than those families! Don't speak ill of him!"

Everyone: "..." Lu Yanzhou often analyzes Xie Chengze's actions for them recently. After analyzing and analyzing, it turns out that Xie Chengze does so many things for the sake of the people.

So everyone actually had a good impression of Xie Chengze. Before Xie Chengze killed the emperor, they felt quite happy!

They said bad things about Xie Chengze this time because they were worried about their wife... As a result, their generals, at this time, don't let people say bad things about Xie Chengze?

Lu Yanzhou said again: "Xie Chengze has a sense of measure. Although he has sealed off the capital, he will definitely not attack innocent people. He will only kill those royal nobles who have committed many crimes...I believe him!"

All the generals under Lu Yanzhou trusted Lu Yanzhou very much. Hearing what Lu Yanzhou said, they believed him too.

After all, during Lu Yanzhou's repeated brainwashing during this period, they had already begun to think that Xie Chengze was a hero who endured humiliation and fought against the gentry for the sake of the common people.

Only Wang and his son were a little embarrassed.

In Yan Hang's heart, the gentry seems to be inferior to Xie Chengze, an eunuch...

This person's thinking is really different and deviant!
