Chapter 64: Bravely Breaking Through the Crisis City

Gu Yanwu nodded quickly: "Okay! Guoxiong, don't worry!" Gu Yanwu changed his tone and said, "Guixiong, you must be careful! I always think Cai Tu asked you to go this time..."

Zhang Biwu smiled and said, "I know!" Huang Qi smiled and said, "I said, Lord Gu, you should take care of yourself first! Look at your mud, where are you going? Why are you so dirty?"

Gu Yanwu replied: "Guoxiong gave me the position of magistrate of Lingbao County, so that I could develop agriculture and build water conservancy. As a parent official, I was of course able to lead by example and personally supervise the water conservancy repair! As long as the water conservancy is repaired, I will not have to worry about drought years. With water, food can be protected! Water storage is very important!"

"In addition, the people in the north are not like the people in the south. They go to transport water from all over the world. Most of them do not transport water. They only know how to rely on the weather for their own income. So they have to change their concept. Store water, transport water to irrigate farmland, and vigorously develop agriculture! Agriculture is the foundation of the country! Although the north is not as watery as the south, this makes it even more necessary and important to store water! No matter how difficult it is, I will do my best to do it!"

When Zhang Biwu saw Gu Yanwu's dark skin, he knew that Gu Yanwu was very competent and said, "Zhongqing, I think it's too wrong for you to give you a magistrate! You are not only a talented person in Baili! You are also a good talent in governing the country, comparable to Wang Anshi, Fang Xuanling, and Xiao He! Unfortunately, you can only be a magistrate now!"

As the saying goes, a scholar is a confidant. It is Zhang Biwu who values ​​Gu Yanwu so much that Gu Yanwu will do his best to serve Zhang Biwu! At this moment, Gu Yanwu felt that Zhang Biwu should be the lord! And he could no longer call Zhang Biwu's name Guoxiong!

Zhang Biwu turned to Huang Qi and asked, "How is it? Can Zhang Pan catch up when he comes back?" Huang Qi replied, "I have sent Zhong Yaofa to inform Zhang Pan and rushed directly to Shanzhou City! Although Zhong Yaofa is still young, this kid is doing things in a good manner, an old man!"

Zhang Biwu said with a serious expression: "Whether we can come back alive depends on Zhang Pan! If Zhang Pan drives slowly, we will all die!" Huang Qi nodded clearly. What they were thinking about was Zhang Pan, Zhang Pan, you must arrive in Shanzhou City!

Zhang Biwu knew that Cai Tu's banquet was not a good one, especially when Zhao Dayong disappeared, which was related to Cai Tu. When Zhang Biwu was in Shangzhou, he had a grudge with Cai Tu and Jiang Fei. Jiang Fei and Cai Tu wanted to kill Zhang Biwu. In addition, they were supported by Wang Dehua, and this time there was Gao Qiqiang's potential to make trouble behind him. Perhaps he had Yang Sichang. Zhang Biwu knew his situation was difficult.

Huang Qi asked again: "Biwu, are we really not going to transfer troops outside Shanzhou City?" Zhang Biwu cursed: "I'm confused!" Huang Qi kept silent.

Zhang Biwu explained: "If we move troops, don't we give the people a clear conscience - are we not loyal to the court? With the two thousand brave soldiers I just recruited and more than 400 soldiers, how effective do you think it can be? The court will not pay attention to us! If we want to kill, kill! If we have heavy troops, famous generals like Zuo Liangyu, the court will not dare to move! So we must be loyal to the court! We must avoid the constant frame-up of treacherous ministers!"

Huang Qi nodded clearly, so he went to pack up his things and just waited to go to Shanzhou with Zhang Biwu.

Many soldiers in Shanzhou City were mobilizing. These soldiers were Shaanxi soldiers. In theory, Shanzhou was under the jurisdiction of Henan Province. Why were there Shaanxi soldiers? This was because Jiang Fei asked Hong Chengchou to write a letter to Zheng Chongjian, who was appointed as the governor of the trilateral side, and asked him to draw a thousand people to Shanzhou for use by Cai Tu.

Zheng Chongjian had to sell this face, and he received a letter from Gao Qiqian, and he knew that this was even more obedient once it was related to the Central Palace.

The entire Shanzhou city was in panic, as if preparing for a war. The people in the city were panic. I wonder why the new magistrate was like a war when he arrived?

When Zhang Biwu and Huang Qi arrived at Shanzhou City, Zhang Biwu looked up at Shanzhou City. It looked very calm, but it all revealed a look of solemnity. The city gate was greeted by Tongzhi and Tongzong, but the governor Cai Tu did not come in person.

Zhang Biwu grabbed the war horse and shouted, "Go!" and drove the horse forward. Huang Qi followed Zhang Biwu in. The Tongzhi stepped forward and said, "General Zhang, please come in!"

When Zhang Biwu saw Tongzhi and Tongzhi, he was smiling and ignorant. He knew that they had evil intentions, but Zhang Biwu didn't say much. He and Huang Qi entered the city directly. When Zhang Biwu and Huang Qi entered the city gate, the city gate was immediately closed.

Zhang Biwu and Huang Qi were not panicked. Zhang Biwu looked around the city and saw archers hiding on the city.

Zhang Biwu just smiled, and he didn't say much, and wanted to enter the city through the urn. Cai Tu was waiting for them in the city with a smile. As soon as Zhang Biwu and the others came in, an officer immediately came forward and said sternly: "Drop off!"

Zhang Biwu looked at him as a Qianmai. He sneered, and with a "pop", a whip hit him in the face, saying, "Can you disrespect me? When I was fighting against the Tartars in blood, you didn't know which woman you were hanging with! What sounds are you making in front of me!" Zhang Biwu was going to be the first to speak out. If he showed weakness, he and Huang Qi would be in danger.

Mr. Qian was beaten back and did not dare to rebel against Zhang Biwu because he had also heard of Zhang Biwu's heroic deeds. He shrank aside.

When the other soldiers who came up came forward saw that Mr. Qian retreated, how could they come up again? They also retreated one after another.

Cai Tu couldn't help but stand up and said, "Look! These people are really ignorant! How can they treat the great heroes like this?" Cai Tu said with a slight smile: "Guoxiong, don't blame them! They are just negligent in teaching! The students apologize to you!"

Zhang Biwu smiled and said, "Master General, if you divide them into my tent another day, I will be able to train them all into elite soldiers!"

"Hehe!" Cai Tu smiled and said, "Guoxiong, you're kidding! Because the area of ​​Shanzhou is not peaceful, Governor Zheng gave me a thousand men! I dare not give you Governor Zheng's men! Governor Zheng will also go back to suppress the thieves! You also know that the thieves are circling in Shangluo area now, and the people of Shangzhou are suffering! Most of the officers and soldiers are gathered in Shangluo area!"

Zhang Biwu clasped his fists and said, "I know! I wish I could lead the soldiers to help Governor Zheng to suppress the thieves! I just hated that I had 500 troops. If I left, then the emperor would have conscripted me to be in the three counties and the land would be lost! Alas! So I can't go to fight against the thieves!"

Cai Tu sneered and said, "Is that so? Guoxiong, if I brought one person, you wouldn't say that! When I was in Shangzhou, you and this person...hehe!" Cai Tu kept sneering, looking like a villain's success.

He went to his confidants around him [Note] Wu Zhirong, although he was young, was only twenty years old, but this person was very good at studying and was deeply loved by Cai Tu.

[Note]: Wu Zhirong, a famous corrupt official in the early Qing Dynasty, was appointed as the magistrate of Gui'an in the seventh year of Shunzhi. After Wu Zhirong reported the case of history, he died of cold and fever. People said that he was killed by thunder. In my novel, he appeared.

Wu Zhirong got a look from Cai Tu. He understood completely. He shouted and asked someone to take Zhao Dayong out! Sure enough, Zhao Dayong was caught! Zhao Dayong put on shackles and handcuffs, and he shouted: "What are you doing! Why should you catch me!"

Cai Tu looked at Zhang Biwu, and he shouted in his heart: "Zhang Biwu, pounce on him! As long as you pounce on him and kill Zhao Dayong, everything will be clear! Your evidence of guilt will be settled!"

When Zhang Biwu saw Zhao Dayong, he understood that it was really bad! But Cai Tu, a corrupt official who had almost killed himself and Zhao Dayong in Shangzhou, has come to Shanzhou again, and this dangerous situation has been staged! But he has received the help of Wang Dehua and Gao Qiqian again, and he wants to kill him but cannot kill him.

Zhang Biwu's mind was turning quickly. He was thinking about how to overcome the difficulties. When he came, he had figured it out. If Zhao Dayong was caught by Cai Tu, how could he overcome the difficulties?

At this moment, the "bang bang" rushing footsteps sounded, and a large group of soldiers hurriedly formed a wall of people in front of Cai Tu, with shields erected on the ground, and each soldier was on high alert. Shaanxi soldiers were very elite troops in the Ming army at that time, because they often participated in the suppression of the rebel army, most of them were soldiers who had many battles.

Cai Tu knew Zhang Biwu's bravery, so he didn't want to take risks, so he allowed the soldiers to protect him in front of him. With the walls of people, Cai Tu felt relieved and felt that he would be fine.

Suddenly, the archers and bird gunners also emerged, and the soldiers holding long spears and sharp spears also came out in a gusto, with a large number of people.

Cai Tu shouted, pointed at Zhang Biwu with a fan, and shouted: "Zhang Biwu, you seduce the rebels and want to sacrifice the three counties. Don't think that I don't understand! This official was transferred from Shangzhou to Shanzhou by the emperor to be wary of you, a wolf! Look at who this person is, Zhao Dayong, the rioter who was going to be executed in Shangzhou before!"

"Let me go! It has nothing to do with General Zhang!" Zhao Dayong's eyes burst into tears. He had dragged Zhang Biwu before and almost lost his life. He thought he could repay Zhang Biwu, but he didn't expect that he would drag Zhang Biwu down again now. Zhao Dayong felt very guilty.
