"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 148
Chen Ru dealt with a group of veterans and veterans with thunderous means. He announced to everyone with his bloody head that the Qinghe Army had become his army, and no one could get involved.
The senior officers of the Qinghe Army were originally full of complaints, but after seeing Chen Ru's iron-blooded wrists, they all settled down one after another.
As a general, Chen Ru naturally understood the principle of carrot and stick. After cleaning up a group of people, he set up a rich banquet to comfort the rest of the generals.
At the banquet, Chen Ru talked and laughed happily, appearing elegant and gentle, but the generals knew very well that Chen Ru was just a tiger with a smiling face, and the blood outside was not yet dry.
At the beginning, Xu Jiang and others were also extremely dissatisfied with Chen Ru's rise and fall, and let him serve as a senior staff member of Lao Shizi.
However, Xu Jiang was terrified when he saw those elders who were clamoring for an explanation dropping their heads to the ground one by one.
Especially at the soothing banquet, Chen Ru's meaningful warning to him made Xu Jiang feel a strong crisis.
Xu Jiang is the son of Xu Fu, the former deputy commander. He has always been at odds with Chen Ru. Now that Chen Ru has become the commander in chief, his words are quite threatening to him, which makes him feel particularly uneasy.
After returning to his residence, Xu Jiang, the former playboy, fidgeted and looked extremely anxious.
He had previously opposed Chen Ru as the commander in chief, and contacted some old generals in an attempt to link up with the heirs of the former commander in chief.
At this extremely sensitive moment, he was particularly afraid of those old generals who would inform him for his own glory and wealth.
Once Chen Ru knows his original behavior, I am afraid that his head will also move. This is the main reason why Xu Jiang is restless.
"Young Master, there is someone outside asking to see you."
Just when Xu Jiang was in a particularly bad mood, a soldier walked in from the outside.
"who?!"
After hearing the words of the soldiers, Xu Jiang, who was already in a panic, stood up immediately, looking extremely nervous.
"A scholar in green shirt."
After hearing the soldier's answer, Xu Jiang's tense nerves relaxed. He thought it was Chen Ru who sent him to kill him.
"See you there, cats and dogs dare to come to the door now, I really think my door is easy to get in." Xu Jiang said angrily.
The guards bowed their hands and turned around to go out, but after a while, the guards left and returned again.
"My lord, the green-clothed scribe is unwilling to leave, and he threatened that your lord is in danger, and his life will not be long"
After Xu Jiang heard this, his complexion sank immediately, and he was about to order that green-clothed scribe to be killed, but thinking of his current situation, he immediately changed his mind.
"Bring him in." Xu Jiang ordered.
"No!"
Soon, a middle-aged man in a tattered blue shirt was brought into the living room by the soldiers.
Seeing the scruffy green-clothed scribe exuding a sour smell, Xu Jiang couldn't help but frown.
"That is, you want to see me?"
Xu Jiangduan sat at the first place, condescendingly questioning the scholar in green shirt standing in the living room.
The green-clothed scribe straightened his clothes, and immediately raised his proud head.
"Don't look at the seats, don't serve tea, is this how Mr. Xu treats guests?" The green-clothed scribe asked.
Seeing the mysterious appearance of the scholar in green shirt, Xu Jiang didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in his gourd, so he waved his hand to let people watch and sit down for tea.
"Can you speak now?"
Seeing the literati in green shirts sitting there drinking tea leisurely, as if sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, Xu Jiang finally couldn't help breaking the silence.
"Does Mr. Xu know who I am?"
After the scholar in green shirt took a sip of tea, he smiled and said.
"I don't care who you are, talk if you have something to say, fart if you have something to say, I don't have time to mess with you here." Xu Jiang looked a little impatient.
Seeing Xu Jiang's impatient temper, the green-shirted scribe couldn't help shaking his head. Compared with his father Xu Fu, Xu Jiang was still far behind.
"My lord, Zhang Wenyuan, was added to the staff of Deputy Marshal Xu earlier."
The scholar in green shirt seemed to be talking to himself, but his eyes were fixed on Xu Jiang to see his reaction.
"Zhang Wenyuan?"
Xu Jiang couldn't help but frowned, he was still somewhat familiar with the name.This man joined his father Xu Fu not long ago, but he has been recovering from his injuries, and later he came to Qingyang Mansion, but he has never met him.
After all, as the son of the deputy commander-in-chief, he has always had his eyes above the top, and he has never looked at the little staff.
"It turned out to be Mr. Zhang."
Since he was his father's aide, Xu Jiang's tone softened a bit.
"My father died, why are you still alive?"
Xu Jiang stared at Zhang Wenyuan, a scholar in green shirt, and asked coldly.
"Returning to the young master, this matter is a long story. Originally, Deputy Commander Xu"
Zhang Wenyuan has already compiled the rhetoric, and Xu Jiang naturally has no way to verify it now.
"Then why are you here?"
Xu Jiang also knew that he had no way to verify the truth of Zhang Wenyuan's words, so he turned to the next topic.
"Deputy Marshal Xu made an explanation before the interim, and I have a word to bring to the young master."
"What words?"
Zhang Wenyuan said: "The Qinghe army's confrontation with the imperial court is tantamount to a mayfly shaking a tree and seeking death. Deputy Commander Xu asked me to take my son to join the imperial court to save my life."
"Nonsense! My father is determined to overthrow the imperial court, how can he be an eagle dog of the imperial court? I think you are a spy of the imperial court! I will definitely kill you!"
When Xu Jiang heard Zhang Wenyuan's blatant request for him to surrender to the court, killing intent immediately appeared on his face, and he wanted to call his own soldiers.
"Killing is nothing more than nodding your head, why don't you wait for me to finish my sentence, my lord?"
Zhang Wenyuan still sat there without fear, turning a blind eye to the killing intent on Xu Jiang's face.
"Okay, okay, then I'll see what else you have to say before you die!"
"Deputy Marshal Xu and Chen Ru soon came to feud. Now that Chen Ru has become the commander of the Qinghe Army, he has already begun to cut off dissidents. Although the son is safe for the time being, he will not escape."
Xu Jiang naturally knew what Zhang Wenyuan said was right, he was just worried that Chen Ru would kill him now.
"Vice Marshal Xu has many contacts with the imperial court, but his luck was not good. When the black cavalry army raided the provincial capital, he died in the rebellion by mistake. But once the young master can lead his troops to submit to the imperial court, the imperial court will definitely treat the young master preferentially. "
Xu Jiang also heard that there was something in these words. No wonder the black cavalry easily broke through the outer ranger guards and raided the provincial capital. Could it be that his father really wanted to cooperate with the outside world?
"At the beginning, the court once promised that Vice Marshal Xu would be the governor of Qinghe Province once the matter is completed. He is the imperial court's chief official. Now, as long as you do some things, the governor of Qinghe Province will be your son." Zhang Wenyuan said in a persuasive way.
"Since my father had secretly defected to the imperial court that day, why did the imperial court show his head to the public?!" Xu Jiang asked loudly, worried about this.
Zhang Wenyuan sighed and said: "To be honest, my lord, due to some mistakes within the court, this matter was done by the people below without permission. Our Fourth Highness has punished them severely."
"Is this true?"
"Never lie a little bit."
The sincerity on Zhang Wenyuan's face dispelled Xu Jiang's doubts and began to consider the operability of this matter.
But what Xu Jiang didn't know was that this was just a lie fabricated by Zhang Wenyuan. Although Zhang Wenyuan wanted to persuade Xu Fu to join the court, Xu Fu never nodded, otherwise he would not have been killed.
Later, Zhang Wenyuan deliberately offered Xu Fu a concubine, and then held a large banquet in the city, which made the Qinghe army in the provincial capital relax their vigilance, so that he was finally killed by the black cavalry army by surprise.
It's just that Xu Jiang is too stupid, facing Zhang Wenyuan's lies full of loopholes, because he has been worried about his current safety, he didn't realize it at all.
