Chapter 737

Zhu yihol is a general of the auxiliary kingdom in the Department of Xiangyang palace. He is also a very good member. After the palace was broken, he was unlucky and became a prisoner at the bottom of the rank.

Zhu yihol was terrified. At ordinary times, he was proud and honored for his lineage and identity. With this lineage, he could have something others couldn't have in his life. He never had to work. He just wanted to enjoy wealth and glory. Who knew that such amazing changes had taken place.

They are the royal family. They are usually high above the world and have a very high status. However, if they fall into the hands of anti thieves, they will be dead. In the past, Zhang Xianzhong conquered Fengyang, the capital of China. All of them were killed. The Chinese army conquered Jinan and Jining, and also copied German and Lu fans to heaven. Life is better than death among the royal family.

In troubled times, they are like grass and mustard. No matter which villain they fall into, they will be executed.

This time Xiangyang City was captured, and they were soon arrested and imprisoned. Zhu yihol was conceited and would die. Who knew that the other Party chose him as a negotiator to negotiate.

Li Dingguo, the general of the other side, promised him that if the two sides could reach an agreement, they could keep him alive and return his property.

With these promises, Zhu Yi was very excited. He thought, I'm afraid only I can do it.

When he came outside the Ming Dynasty with the honor guard of the envoy and asked to see Zhu Xieyuan, he was very upset by the neglect of the other party. I am the second son of King Yicheng, the grand general of the auxiliary country. It is a crime of disrespect for your little Zhu Xieyuan to sit in the camp and not come out to meet him in person.

If it was normal time, he would certainly investigate the other party for a crime of disrespect, but now it is a time of war and chaos. Zhu Xieyuan tied up his military talisman and sat down with 100000 troops, which is the key to his success this time. Therefore, he can only wait outside the barracks in a low voice.

However, Zhu Yi is still angry. He wants to deal with Zhu Xieyuan severely when things happen here, so that he can know the end of neglecting the royal family.

After waiting for a long time, they didn't wait for Zhu Xieyuan to come. Instead, the officer who came to receive him came out just now. The other party claimed that Zhu Xieyuan's Deputy General Li Gang had a very different attitude this time. He looked very serious and respected. He saluted Zhu yihol and said, "marshal, please talk to general Fu Guo."

This time, Zhu Yi was really upset. At first, Zhu Xieyuan didn't come out to meet him in person because he didn't know he was coming. It's understandable. Since he has displayed his brand name now, he still didn't come to meet him. Is this shelf too big?

Zhu Yi snorted coldly. He said, "why didn't Zhu Xieyuan come in person? Did he hurt his leg?"

Li Gang gave a dry smile and said, "of course not. The commander set up a banquet in the camp to receive the general."

Trapped in prison, Zhu yihol has been in the stage of starvation. In the past, he was tired of eating delicacies and seafood. He had to change ways and think of ways to make strange things to eat. However, in prison, it was good to have a nest head for him. One nest head had to be robbed and several people had to share it. He had been hungry for a long time.

It was said that the other party had set up a banquet in the camp to welcome him, which made him happy. He said, "he knows!"

With a cold flash in his eyes, Li Gang said, "please, general Fu Guo!" and took him to the side of the barracks.

Zhu yiho was upset again. He said, "shouldn't Zhu Xieyuan's Chinese army camp be in the Chinese army? What does it mean to go aside? Let the general go through the side door, isn't it shameful?"

Li Gang suppressed his anger and said with a smile, "of course not. The commander runs the army strictly. Drinking is not allowed in the camp. This is a military order. It's different in the rear camp."

As soon as the other party explained, Zhu Yi reluctantly believed, but he was very upset about Zhu Xieyuan's disrespect and impoliteness.

When their team came to a remote place, li gang saw no one left or right, so he winked at his men. His men had already been hinted. At this time, the leader ordered, without hesitation, took out a knife, covered Zhu yihol's mouth and stabbed him in the stomach.

Zhu yiho couldn't even scream. He struggled a few times and died.

Don't tell me. Several of Li Gang's men immediately found a hoe, dug a hole and buried Zhu yihol, a general of the auxiliary country.

Zhu Xieyuan understood that if he turned a blind eye to the life and death of these Royal relatives, he would certainly be impeached by the censor and the speech officer, but if he didn't know, it would achieve the effect of not guilty for those who didn't know.

In this way, he will not be afraid of his hands and feet because of this.

But he also knows that with the other party's treachery, the other party can't let him go so easily. There must be a later move. Then, now he can delay for a while.

After secretly ordering the execution of Fu Guo General Zhu Yi, Zhu Xieyuan ordered the army to move forward and prepare to encircle Xiangyang City.

At the same time, they also ordered to pull a large number of siege equipment from the neighboring cities.

Since Xiangyang City has been on guard and the other party is ready, it is impossible for them to take Xiangyang City directly without siege equipment.

Military strategists don't like attacking the city most, but when they come to this step, they have no choice but to do so.

While secretly asking Zhu Xieyuan to kill Fu Guo General Zhu Yi, Zhu Xieyuan ordered his army to attack Xiangyang City in several ways and surround the city.

Li Dingguo's backhand must have been more than once. After sending Zhu yihol, he successively sent more royal people to persuade surrender or negotiate peace. He knows it's useless, but it's useful to delay time. Even if it can't delay time, he can also hate the commander of the Ming army.

Whether these people live or die, even if he takes Xiangyang City, he is likely to be settled after autumn.

Zhu Xieyuan is a real cruel man. I will kill as many as you send. Anyway, he does it quietly and low-key, and no one knows what he does.

The Royal relatives of Xiangyang palace never expected that they would die unknown in a quiet place, and still in the hands of their own people.

Since Zhu Xieyuan knew that Xiangyang City was ready, he ordered the army to encircle it in several ways, and the four famous generals under him were responsible for each way.

At this time, the disadvantage of their rapid use of troops also emerged. This disadvantage is that they sent troops very quickly and didn't bring any food and grass. Now the army is quite short of food. Although there are a lot of food and grass in Yiling City, they can't transport them at one time. There is no way, so they can only order to raise food on the ground.

They ordered the county magistrates of several counties near Xiangyang City to pay grain to the army.

Xiangyang Prefecture is a big city, which governs one state and seven states. It is only Xiangyang City controlled by the Chinese army. Like other nearby counties, there is still no way to control it. This is still within the sphere of influence of the Ming army. Zhu Xieyuan had no choice but to order the army to apportion to these local officials.

Zhu Xieyuan has the full power to pacify the thieves, because the emperor has granted him comprehensive rights to order the convening of troops, grain and grass, etc. in short, as long as he can win the war, he can do whatever he wants.

This makes these local officials miserable.

The Chinese army did not have the ability to control these places, but they also sent envoys to warn the county magistrate in these places.

If you don't raise the flag early and submit to the Chinese Empire, wait for them to draw out their hands. Will destroy these people.

Zhu Xieyuan also issued orders to all the surrounding counties. If they collude with Chinese thieves, they will be killed.

This makes these officials in a dilemma. They are miserable. Things are difficult and they are safe.

What's more bitter is that these people are in the war zone. The forces of both sides are intertwined. You have me and I have you. Although the Chinese army does not collect taxes and is not violent, they have a bottom line, which is that you must take refuge in them. If you dare not take refuge or have two sides, they will send troops to burn your house and expel you from here.

The common people of this era pay attention to the fact that their hometown is hard to leave and people are cheap. If they have no choice, they will never leave the hometown where they live and raise themselves. Therefore, being expelled from here is the most severe punishment.

Is this miserable? This is not miserable for the officers and soldiers. If the officers and soldiers know that you are colluding with the Chinese army, it is a thief and a capital crime. If you are caught, you will be executed by copying your family.

This really makes these people miserable and live a hot life.

Zhu Xieyuan could not follow up because he entered the army too quickly. He coldly ordered: "my handsome soldiers can only die in battle, not starve. My handsome wants food. What to do, you are responsible."

The generals said in unison, "here!"

Zhu Xieyuan has been in charge of the army for more than ten years and has never done anything like this, but now he can do nothing to win Xiangyang and defeat the Chinese thieves.

As an official, Zhu Xieyuan has a good official voice and has always loved the people like a son. He has a very good reputation both in Suzhou and Sichuan. The people are also grateful to him and think that such a good official is a blessing for decades.

However, since he took charge of the army to suppress the Chinese army, he has always been ruthless and never soft hearted. This is called kindness not taking charge of the army.

Zhu Xieyuan is so cruel because he knows that the Chinese thieves are the most vicious rebels in the past 200 years of the Ming Dynasty. They are more ferocious and powerful than Anlu mountain and Shi Siming in the Tang Dynasty. If they are not suppressed, the Ming Dynasty will perish.

Therefore, in order to destroy the Chinese army, he did not hesitate to pay any price. Zhu Xieyuan gave a public lecture and said, "fight with the thief, either you or I will die."
