Looking at the Hongzhou city gate, Liu Chang breathed out: "It's considered to have passed Hengshan! The road is rugged and it's really hard!"

On one side, people followed each other to celebrate. After passing Yanzhou, they entered the mountains. The terrain was broken, and the road went to the valley, and then climbed up the ridge, up and down, and walked around, making people want to vomit.

This section of the road is not allowed to drive, and the royal wine you bring is made of camels and horses and mules, all of which are panting.

Liu Changzuo, the governor of Hongzhou, brought the generals early to welcome him out of the city. After coming forward to see the ceremony, he said, "I have worked hard all the way, and I will enter the city to rest."

When he arrived at the official hall, Fenbin sat down. Liu Chang said: "This is the foundation of Dangxiang. The Dangxiang Army in Xingzhou is said to be able to fight. I wonder how many soldiers there are in the imperial court now? Are the Dangxiang people under their rule still in peace?"

Liu Changzuo said: "After Taiwei Di led a large army to defeat Youzhou, I led 5,000 people to the south. At that time, the generals in Dangxiang had already passed away, and the defenders in the city surrendered without fighting, and there was no big war. After these days, the people were peaceful and there was no chaos. Now under the rule, the spring plowing under the rule, and the farmers didn't know much to do, but they were still obedient."

Liu Chang was overjoyed when he heard this: "If Hengshan is like a general, there will be less trouble in the court! I have brought imperial wine to this trip and distributed it to the army to get drunk tonight. Since I sent troops in September last year and fought until now, seeing that the Dangxiang is destroyed, the emperor is very pleased and ordered me to reward the soldiers."

Liu Changzuo thanked him and ordered the generals to go to the army to receive the imperial wine, and to celebrate with joy tonight.

Liu Chang brought three types of imperial wine. One was from senior generals, the other was from intermediate commanders, and the other was from soldiers. He also brought gold, silver, silk and silk as rewards to the army. For these places, the unified money supply had not been used, so they could not be issued paper money.

After giving orders, Liu Changzuo said, "The yamen has arranged a residence for the envoys, so you can go and have a rest first. In the evening, a banquet will be prepared to welcome the envoys. The mountain is barren and the people are poor, and the hospitality is not good, so the envoys will be responsible for the envoys."

Liu Chang nodded: "Okay, okay, that's it. I brought the imperial wine, so I'm going to drink it tonight."

After saying that, he asked the civilians who came with the goods to send money, and asked them to leave and change their clothes to rest. Along the way, the civilians hired by the security guards to carry the goods. After passing Hongzhou, the imperial guards naturally sent people to transport them, and they could not use them.

In the evening, Liu Changzuo held a banquet in the Houya and invited Liu Chang and his party to the banquet.

After each of them sat down, Liu Chang ordered to take the imperial wine, and he had to fill it up and said, "This time, the attack on Dangxiang has won consecutive victories, and now he has entered his heart. The emperor heard that the war was going well and was extremely happy. He ordered me to bring the imperial wine here to congratulate you! Let's drink this cup full!"

After drinking together, after a few rounds, I poured myself on the table.

Liu Chang said to Liu Changzuo: "After breaking Lingzhou, I will come all the way east, but it will be smooth?"

Liu Changzuo said: "After fighting in Yanzhou for a day or two, there was no war again. After occupying Youzhou, I attacked Hongzhou along the ancient Wuyan and Wangjing. Hongzhou surrendered and everything went smoothly. A few days ago, I recruited leaders of various foreign tribes to Hongzhou and ordered them to take charge of their subordinates first and not cause trouble. Now the weather is warm, and the people under the rule are preparing for spring plowing, and there is no other reason."

Liu Chang nodded and said, "A few days ago, after Jiao Yong occupied Longzhou, the surrendered troops suddenly rebelled, causing the army to suppress it. Soon afterwards, such a thing happened in several cities and villages. When they were sent back to the capital, the emperor and the ministers were very anxious, fearing that Hengshan would rebel again."

Liu Changzuo said vaguely: "I assigned to garrison here early, and I don't know what happened in other places. There were no Dangxiang people in Hongzhou to cause trouble, but other places were not sure. Although there were Dangxiang people in Hengshan, they were divided into many divisions, and each division was different, which was not good."

Liu Chang nodded, looked at Liu Changzuo's expression and knew it. Now is the time for spring plowing, and the general situation in Dangxiang is over. Even if there are generals who want to fight, they cannot summon people. The so-called rebellion is afraid that there are other hidden stories.

Liu Changzuo was a powerful general in the Imperial Army. After training, he was promoted. Over the years, he was promoted from the Zuo Ban Hall to the east to the sacrificial officials. The imperial guards were so strict that they would be strict. Once the Imperial Army was not upright in their leadership, the situation would occur frequently.

Hongzhou is a place where people from Dangxiang were densely populated, but it was far away from Yin and Xia states, not the same tribe as Yuanhao, and there were many tribes. Due to the barren land and fewer resources, the people under the rule lived a difficult life. Liu Changzuo occupied Hongzhou and was tolerant of the people. After several years of taxation, the people under the rule all said it was good. The former generals and bureaucrats of the Dangxiang were detained, and the foreign tribes below were busy with spring plowing, so who was willing to cause trouble?

When Liu Chang heard Liu Changzuo talk about the war in Lingzhou, he sighed in his heart that victory was hard-won. He drank with the generals and was drunk until he could stop.

On the second day, Liu Changzuo sent soldiers to help Liu Chang carry supplies and send him outside the city.

Walking north, Liu Chang looked at the Wuding River beside him. The valley was wide and deep. At this early spring, the water flowed smoothly and sighed: "I vow to sweep away the Huns and 5,000 sable brocades to destroy Hu dust. I feel sorry for the bones of the Wuding River, but I am still a person in the dream of spring boudoir. This is exactly the division between Han and Hu. From the Tang Dynasty to the present hundreds of years, I don't know how many wars have happened. Today, the king's army came north and his hometown re-entered the king's land. I hope he will be safe in the future."

I walked northward, passed Youzhou, and continued to head northeast, and the road was always with Wuding River. In the evening of that day, I arrived at the Sanchakou, a major area between Youzhou and Xiazhou, and ordered me to stop and rest.

When he entered the town, he saw that the city was dark and the population was sparse, and the houses on the road were mostly damaged, which was not as good as the scene in front. Liu Chang felt strange and ordered his follower to call a commoner from the roadside and said, "There is no big battle in Yuzhou in the west, and Xiazhou in the east surrendered. Why does it seem like there has been a war here in the middle? The walls of this town are very low and are not suitable for defense."

The old man looked at Liu Chang and his party and said angrily: "How dare you stop the imperial army in this small town? He was originally surrendering the city and the people were in peace. At noon the day before yesterday, a team of soldiers suddenly came, saying that a rebel army fled into the town and killed them, and it turned out like this."

Liu Chang was surprised and said, "Xiazhou is owned by the imperial court, how could there be rebels here?"

The old man said, "Who knows? The military soldiers said there is, that is, there is. No one knows the rebels. The people in the town were robbed and many people were killed. Many of them have been buried in the past two days. The officials came earlier and could still see the bodies on the roadside."

Liu Chang nodded and asked the old man to leave, feeling a little bad. Sanchakou was between Youzhou and Xiazhou, and some rebel generals would escape here if they had broken their heads. The so-called pursuit of the rebels is probably an excuse for military looting.

After finding an inn, the generals from the garrison hurriedly came to see him.

After the salute, Liu Chang asked, "I came from Hongzhou and saw that Hongzhou and Youzhou were very quiet and the people were happy. Why is this town so dilapidated? I heard that this place surrendered without a fight, and there was no big war."

The general crossed his hands: "The envoy returned to the emperor. The day before yesterday, General Yang brought military troops to him, saying that a rebel army fled from Dashadui to this place. He led his army to chase him. Because the rebels were hidden in the homes of the people, he led the army to search the doors, and in the end it was like this. The last general only brought a hundred people to guard this place, so he dared not ask."

Liu Chang couldn't help but frown: "Since that's the case, where are the rebels found?"

The general said: "The rebels deserve to be killed ten thousand times, so they will naturally be killed on the spot. They have been buried in the past two days."
