Chapter 558： Zhang brothers' concerns

  Chapter 558 The worries of the Zhang family brothers

   At 6:00 p.m. on September 9, the third year of Tianxuan, the sky was not yet completely dark, and the east wall of Yi Town was already brightly lit.

  Su Yan and Qu Mao stood on the gate tower east of Yi Town, Kong Ming and Xuande accompanied Qu Mao, and 1,000 fourth-rank light cavalry stood on the east wall of Yi Town together with Earl Zhang Zhiyong.

On the city wall, Su Yan was giving a speech to the reinforcements of the 100,000 celebrities Wang Gongguo, and 1,000 fourth-tier light cavalry and Zhang Zhiyong were standing on the city wall. Every time Su Yan said a word, the 1,000 fourth-tier light cavalry They shouted Su Yan's words in unison.

The purpose of this microphone is to allow the 100,000 reinforcements to hear Su Yan's speech clearly. Even if the 100,000 reinforcements are neatly arranged, the team will spread to the fishermen's village and even the seaside. It was the 1,000 fourth-tier light cavalry on the city wall who shouted for the first time, and Yancheng soldiers would be arranged to repeat Su Yan's words again at a certain distance in the reinforcement queue.

   It was precisely because of this arrangement that Su Yan spoke very slowly, and Su Yan spoke for a full two hours in the entire Najiang speech.

  Finally, Su Yan said: "In the name of the three princesses of the Tassel Principality, I confer on Zhang Zhigang the title of Baron.

  From then on, both the titles of Earl and Baron of the Zhang family in Zhicheng and the title of Baron Zhang Zhigang can be passed down from generation to generation.

  All the soldiers who have set things right and returned to the command of this princess, as long as they have repeatedly made meritorious service in the battle of restoring the country, this princess will definitely reward them according to their merits, and the realization of your wish to seal your wife and son is in your own hands. "

Zhang Zhigang and Zhang Zhiyong were originally standing under the east wall of Yi Town. Hearing what Su Yan said, as well as the rumors from the fourth-order light cavalry, and the shouts from the ranks, Zhang Zhigang shook the reins lightly and walked half a horse forward. He put his left and right sides together in front of his chest, and bowed his head to Su Yan to salute.

   Following Su Yan's speech, 100,000 reinforcements descended into Yi Town one by one under the arrangement of the Yi Town Territorial Army and entered different barracks to rest temporarily.

   For the 100,000 reinforcements who surrendered, Qu Mao was also directly allocated to Su Yan as a military force for the restoration of the Tassel Principality.

Counting the 150,000 troops who surrendered in the first batch of invasion fleets of Liuwang Principality, Su Yanfu's military force has already assembled 250,000 people in Yizhen's territory, and counting the 100,000 people concealed by Sunan in Liuwang Principality. A Tier 3 fighter, Su Yan Fuguo's military strength has reached 350,000 fighters, of which the army is about 250,000, and the navy is about 100,000.

In fact, about 30,000 soldiers from the first phase of the Liuwang Principality’s invasion force were transferred to the free citizens of the Yizhen territory. These 30,000 soldiers were either injured in the battle, or their relatives in the Yizhen territory strongly opposed them to continue to join the army. .

  At 9:00 p.m. on September 9th in the third year of Tianxuan, Zhang Zhigang and Zhang Zhiyong knocked on the door of the lord's hut. Su Yan, Qu Mao and Kong Ming happened to be discussing matters, so they received the two surrendered commanders together.

  Zhang Zhigang stepped forward and said: "The guilty minister Zhang Zhigang visited Her Royal Highness, but the princess did not convict her, but instead bestowed the criminal minister with a title, and the criminal minister was panicked."

  Su Yan said: "You don't need to be polite, Baron Zhang. It's not your fault that the usurpers messed up the government. It's your credit to change the banner before the battle and return to orthodoxy. The tradition of the Tassel Principality is that meritorious service must be rewarded and crimes must be punished!

  At present, only your elder brother, Earl Zhang Zhiyong, of the Zhang family should inherit your father’s title. From today onwards, you also have the title of nobility. "

  Zhang Zhiyong also hurriedly said: "Thank you, Your Highness, the third princess, for giving me the honor of the Zhang family. The restoration of the country by the third princess will surely succeed."

  Su Yan said: "Earl Zhang, Baron Zhang, you two don't need to be guilty ministers anymore, even if you were guilty in the past, this princess will forgive you both."

   Zhang Zhigang and Zhang Zhiyong thanked Qu Mao and Su Yan together, and then mentioned what to do with the follow-up families of the two brothers of the Zhang family in case Liu Wang Duke found out that they had surrendered. What should I do?

  Zhang Zhiyong said worriedly: "Your Highness, the crime... I suggest that Her Royal Highness send troops back to Liuwang Principality immediately, fly the princess's banner to restore the country, and there must be a large number of soldiers loyal to Liusu Principality to respond.

  If the princess pushes three times and blocks four things, once the king of the puppet dynasty knows that the third princess is still alive and living in the territory of Yizhen, it will no longer be hundreds of thousands of troops to fight, but the whole country will definitely attack.

  By then..."

Qu Mao said indifferently: "Uncle Zhang, Baron Zhang, there is no need to worry about this. The so-called soldiers will block you, and water will flood the land. Since the establishment of Yizhen Territory, it has faced powerful enemies that are several times the total population of Yizhen Territory three times. Every time we win more with less, our territory of Yi Town won the final victory.

  The reason is nothing more than the fact that our territory of Yi Town is united and our troops are strong.

  I think that even if Liu Wang Duchy attacks our Yizhen territory with all its power, our Yizhen territory has enough determination and strength to protect our Lord Su Yan from being disturbed. "

Zhang Zhiyong said with a pale face: "What your lord said is true, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse. Although the false king of Liuwang Principality was not in the right position, he still inherited the soldiers and horses of the old lord, although his strength is not as good as the old king's." Alive, but still not to be underestimated.”

  Zhang Zhigang also said with a sad face: "Your Excellency, Your Royal Highness, before you come down, the puppet king said that the special envoy of Liuwang Principality will leave on September 12th.

  Although the special envoy of the Lao Army only brought 3,000 guards and guards of honor, the puppet king asked them to return on September 15, so we can delay it for at most 6 days.

   If Her Royal Highness does not take any further action within these 6 days, what shall we do? "

  Su Yan asked: "Who did the usurper send to be the special envoy of the labor force?"

  Zhang Zhigang cupped his hands and said: "Princess, the king of the puppet dynasty sent Wang Jin, the captain of the palace guard, as the special envoy of the labor army. The 3,000 guards are all palace guards. Although there are only 3,000 people, their strength should not be underestimated."

  Su Yan's eyes instantly turned blood red, and she said through gritted teeth: "I'm going to kill them! No one will be left behind!"

   Qu Mao was taken aback. The little girl Su Yan has always been amiable and gentle, and she can't speak too loudly. What's wrong this time?

  Seeing Qu Mao's reaction, Zhang Zhiyong said to Qu Mao: "My lord, the captain of the palace guard, Wang Jin, and this palace guard team are the troops that attacked the palace and personally harmed the old lord when he usurped the country."

   Qu Mao frowned, and said directly: "Kong Ming, inform Sylvia that on September 12, Liu Wang's special envoy fleet of the labor force was directly killed at sea, and no one was killed.

   Just bring the warship back, and none of them are allowed to escape. "

  Kong Ming shook his goose feather fan, sighed, shook his head, and said, "Yes, my lord! This subordinate will notify Sylvia immediately."
