Half an hour later, Qin Donghao and Xue Yuanhui came and reported to Huaju to the situation of the silver warehouse and grain warehouse.

"Sir, the grain warehouse in Runzhou has 93,750 stones of grain." Xue Yuanhui said.

One stone in the Song Dynasty was equivalent to more than one hundred kilograms in later generations, 93,550 kilograms, which was converted into more than 9,375,000 kilograms.

"It's a lot." Hua Ju said with a smile.

After the Fang La army occupied the city of various states, it would regularly collect taxes from the people and collect grain. In addition to using the food and military funds for the occupied army, it would also regularly pay grain and tax silver to Fang La once a month.

Therefore, at least half of the grain in the grain warehouse was handed over to Fang La, but it was captured by the guards before they had time to hand over this month.

"Sir, the Runzhou Silver Treasury has a total of 4.376,000 guan of silver, of which three million taels have been packed and sealed to be delivered to Fang La." Qin Donghao said then.

Hua Ju nodded and said, "Send people to guard the grain warehouse and the silver warehouse. Without my order, no one shall activate the silver warehouse and the grain warehouse without any orders. Those who violate the order shall be killed."

"yes."

Qin Donghao and Xue Yuanhui had just left, and soldiers came in outside to report: "Sir, Liu Menglong, the commander of the Jiankang Navy of Jinling, arrested two people and asked for a visit."

"Let him come in." Hua Ju said.

The soldiers went out for a while, brought Liu Menglong in, saluted to Hua Ju and said, "I am not good at sir."

"Liu General is exempt from gifts." Hua Ju said with a smile.

"Sir Xie."

After Liu Menglong got up, Hua Ju asked, "I heard from Da that you are going to capture the generals guarding the North City. What's the situation? Have you caught up with me?"

Liu Menglong said: "Report to the Lord, except for the 484 rebel soldiers who escaped, except for the 62 who were killed by us, the rest were captured alive. Among them, Shen Gang, the two guards guarding the North City, and Shen Ze were also

Arrested, now outside the door.”

"Bring them in," said Hua Ju.

More than a dozen soldiers escorted Shen Gang, who was tied like rice dumplings. Shen Ze came in from outside and then pressed them to kneel in front of Hua Ju.

Hua Ju looked at Shen Gang and Shen Ze carefully. Both of them were tall and tall, rough and powerful generals. The first impression they gave people was that they were extremely powerful.

"Shen Gang, Shen Ze, as the people of the Song Dynasty, why do you want to rebel against Fang La?" Hua Ju asked.

Shen Gang said: "To my elders, the villain is a farmer's child and makes a living by farming. Because of his tall figure and learning a few martial arts from the old military soldiers in the village, everyone gave the villain a nicknamed "The God of Heaven".

Just because the evil officials in the government forced the donation of food, the villain could not take it out, so the villain instructed people to seize the villain's house, and dragged the villain's sick mother off the bed, causing the villain's mother to die.

In anger, the villain beat the evil official to death with a hoe, so he had to go to the lawsuit and hide everywhere, but he also met many friends in the martial arts world.

Later, when Fang La rebelled, a friend of mine from the world invited me to join him. The villain just thought that if Fang La succeeded in rebelling, the villain would no longer have to wander around the world and could go home to reunite with his father.

So, he defected to Fang La with that friend in the world."

"What's your friend's name?" Hua Ju asked.

Shen Gang said, "I'm called Zhao Sanxing, and I'm known as the Husband in the Jianghu. When we attacked Runzhou City the previous time, he was shot to death by the defenders."

Hua Ju then looked at Chen Ze and asked, "Why do you want to join Fang La's army?"

"The villain's situation is similar to that of Chen Gang."

Chen Ze said: "The villain is the original dock porter,

There are two brothers and old mother in it. Just because Zhu Xie wanted to transport the flower stone, the villain accidentally knocked over a box containing strange stones while transporting it, so he was beaten by the escort officer. The villain was so angry that he picked up the The wooden bar carrying the box beat the escort officer to death and then fled. Because the government issued official documents to arrest him everywhere, the villain did not dare to return home, so he had to hang out in the world. Because the villain was tall and tall, he was extremely powerful, so he gave him away. The nickname is Giant God.

The rear of the army rebelled and recruited talents. The villain went to join the army with his friends in the world."

"Who is the one who joins Fang La with you?" Hua Ju asked.

"Leopard Tail God and Tong." Chen Ze said.

Hua Jue thought for a while and asked, "What you said is the truth?"

"Everything that the villain said is true. If there is half a lie, he would rather be cut into pieces." Chen Gang said.

"The villain also swears to the sky. If there is any false statement, even if the adults execute the villain Lingchi, the villain will never complain." Chen Ze said then.

Hua Ju nodded and said to Liu Shun: "Beat them first and look like you."

"yes."

Liu Shun led Chen Gang and Chen Ze to escort, and Hua Ju said to Liu Menglong: "It is gratifying to congratulate Liu Tongzheng's command to capture the two generals and make great contributions."

"I dare not, this is all about the great blessings of the adults. The humble position is just a blessing for the adults." Liu Menglong said.

Hua Ju knew that he was deliberately trying to please him, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, General Liu led the navy all the way, let's go down and rest first. I'm calling you if you have something to do."

"Yes, I'm leaving." Liu Menglong bowed and stepped back.

Hua Jue said to Liu Bo: "Tomorrow you will go to the surrendered soldiers and the people of Runzhou to inquire about Chen Gang and Chen Ze and the two of them in normal times?"

Chen Gang and Chen Ze were bullied and oppressed by the evil officials and treacherous officials in the past, and were forced to join Fang La's rebels. It is understandable that if the two had not done anything evil, Hua Jue would give them one. Opportunity to reform.

"Yes." Liu Bo responded.

Dantu County is a county under the jurisdiction of Runzhou.

At this time, the city gate had already been closed. Lu Shinang brought He Tong and the remaining two hundred cavalrymen to the city gate and shouted to the people on the city tower: "Hurry to open the city gate."

"Who are you?" asked the general guarding the city gate.

Master Lu said, "I am Master Lu, the commander of the East Hall Privy Councilor."

The guards on the city wall carefully identified it and saw that it was indeed Master Lu, so they quickly asked someone to open the city gate and let them enter the city.

Master Lu went straight to the Dantu County government office. Wu Tong, the garrison guarding Dantu County, hurried out to greet him. Seeing Master Lu's expression in a embarrassing manner, he asked in surprise: "Master Shumi, what happened?"

"Let's talk about it inside."

Master Lu came to the lobby of the county government to sit down. Wu Tong asked someone to bring him a glass of water. Master Lu drank the water in one breath, put the cup on the table, sighed and said, "Runzhou City is lost. ”

"What, Runzhou is lost!"

Wu Tong was surprised and said, "The lord has 50,000 elite soldiers, how could he lose it?"

"The Song army sent troops to sneak into the city in advance, cooperated inside and outside, and opened the city gate. Then the Song army all entered the city. We were caught off guard and eventually the four cities were lost."

Master Lu said a few simple words and immediately said: "Dantu County is very close to Runzhou City, and the Song army will definitely come to attack the city, so we have to ask for help from the three kings stationed in Suzhou immediately, otherwise we will rely solely on Dantu.

The five thousand soldiers in the county couldn't defend them at all. Come quickly to bring me pens, paper and pens, and I immediately wrote a document for help for the Three Kings of Shan."

The three kings are Fang La's younger brother Fang Mao. He was sent by Fang La to lead an army of 80,000 to guard Suzhou.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

After Lu Shinang wrote the documents for help, he ordered Wutong to send someone to Suzhou immediately. Wu Tong immediately sent a trusted soldier beside him and led four people to Suzhou overnight.

"General Wu, ask the soldiers to prepare more arrows, roll wood and stones, defend strictly, and beware of the Song army coming to attack the city." Lu Shinang said to Wu Tong.

Wu Tong said: "Just just rest in the county government. Tonight, I will go to the city wall to guard. I will never let the Song army seize the city easily."

"Then it's a blessing for General Wu." said Lu Shinang.

Wu Tong led his troops down. Lu Shinang sighed and said, "I don't know how Zhang Tongzhi and Gao Tongzhi are?"

"Sir, don't worry, they should be fine." He Tong comforted him.

"I hope so."

Master Lu nodded slightly, looked at He Tong and Shen Yan, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, go down and rest. I will call you if you have any problems."

"Adults also take a break early."

He Tong and Shen Yan went down. Master Lu sighed again in frustration, then stood up and went to the Houya to rest.

One night passed.

Early in the morning, gongs sounded everywhere in Runzhou City. The guards beat gongs and shouted along the streets, telling the people that the officers and soldiers had recovered Runzhou City and let the people come out to do things with confidence.

At the beginning, the people were still a little worried. Later, some people plucked up their courage and saw that the streets had been restored to their original state, all the bodies had been cleaned up, and the officers and soldiers were not injuring them at all. They also saw Hua Ju and asked someone to post them.

Anmin, who came out, then went back to tell his family, so that they could come out boldly.

With the people who took the lead, the people of Runzhou City soon came out. Those who should open the door to do business as usual, and those who should do things also do things normally. Everything returned to what they were before the war.

In the government office.

Hua Ju asked someone to count the number of enemies killed by the soldiers who surrendered yesterday when they fought, and then took 20,000 taels of silver from the banking warehouse in Runzhou and distributed it to them as agreed.

When the surrendered soldiers received the silver reward, they were all very happy and knelt down and thanked Hua Ju.

Hua Ju said, "I keep my word. As long as you can help the imperial army to wipe out Fang La with all your heart, there will be more rewards to you later."

"Don't worry, you are so kind to us. We will definitely sacrifice our lives to help fight Fang La's army." Chen Hou said.

Hua Ju nodded with a smile, then went to Runzhou Street to learn about the situation of the people in Runzhou.

At around the 19th, he returned to the government office. At this time, Liu Bo also inquired about Shen Gang. When Shen Ze came back, he immediately reported to him. Shen Gang, Shen Ze was relatively peaceful in Runzhou and had never done anything to hurt the people.

.

"So these two people have no evil deeds." Hua Ju said.

"Yes." Liu Bo said.

Hua Jue then said, "Go and bring them to me."

Liu Bo left for a short time and brought Chen Gang and Chen Ze. Both of them knew that their life was now in Hua Ju's hands, so they knelt down and kowtowed to him as soon as they came in.

Hua Ju said: "I have sent someone to inquire about your situation. You were quite honest during Runzhou and did not do anything to hurt the people, so I decided to spare your lives."

Chen Gang, Chen Ze knew that his life had been saved, and was very excited. He kowtowed to Hua Ju and said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you."

Hua Ju said, "Don't be busy thanking me for now. Although I decided to spare your life, you have joined Fang La's rebels. Although the death penalty can be avoided, the life penalty cannot be spared. So, everyone Cut off one arm as punishment.”
