292 The Case of the Rebellion of Garan (6)

"Now, what do you think Xiao Han will do?" Yin Die couldn't help but ask. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"I don't want to guess. Zhou Yanbo replied very simply, "First, it takes a lot of effort, and second, I believe in the handling of wind and snow, so we don't need to think about it, we still imagine what will happen when we go to Qinghu Temple, maybe the monks there don't welcome us very much." ”

After half a day's journey, Zhou Yanbo's boat arrived at Qinghu Temple, Qinghu Temple is located on a large isolated island, the east is a simple wharf, for the mooring and stay of ships, from the wharf to the east is an uphill road, less than three minutes away is the mountain gate of Qinghu Temple, the whole Qinghu Temple is located in the center of the island in the east of a low hill, after the expansion and renovation of the generations, finally has today's scale, the south of the island is a plain area, although the area is small, but it is an important place for the island to grow rice, but now it seems that it has been destroyed by the flood is very cleanAs for the vegetables, a small vegetable garden was cultivated on the hillside, but as the temple grew larger, the vegetables were good, but the small rice field was not enough, and the abbot of Qinghu Temple planned to hire a few experienced people to cultivate the terraces on the gentle slope to the south.

The island that should have been lively now also looks dead, looking at the rice field from the mountain road and no one to take care of it, Zhou Yanbo went to knock on the mountain gate, but after waiting for a long time there was no response, the impatient Zhou Yanbo wanted to push the mountain gate open, but it was closed and couldn't be pushed.

"Where have all the monks here?" Zhou Yanbo muttered, he looked in the direction of Yindie, wanting to ask her to come in and have a look, but saw Yindie monitoring something, and then waved his hand to Zhou Yanbo, motioning for him to come over.

Zhou Yanbo walked up to Yindie's side and asked, "What did you find?"

"Little goose, look. Butterfly said, pointing to a place.

Zhou Yanbo looked: "Footprints and broken branches?"

"It's still new, it doesn't look like it's been a day. "There are definitely people on this island, and they are hiding somewhere. ”

"It's really strange, what are the Tibetans doing in this place, is there any food. Zhou Yanbo said, "In another hour, it will be dark, let's find a hidden place and wait patiently, and when it gets dark, we will sneak into Qinghu Temple to check." ”

After the two of them stayed up until dark, they jumped over the wall of Qinghu Temple with light skills and entered the temple, but the situation was the same as Zhou Yanbo knocking on the door during the day, there was no light in Qinghu Temple, and there was no figure at all, and then the moonlight could see that this place had not been cleaned up for two or three days, which made Zhou Yanbo wonder, maybe someone just came up to take a look, and then left.

Zhou Yanbo turned around and didn't find anything strange, but Yindie came over and patted him on the shoulder, led him to the back door and pointed, Zhou Yanbo then moonlight clearly saw that the back door was not locked.

"That's how it was when I came. Yindie said softly.

"It's weird, it's weird just that the mountain gate is locked from the inside, but the back door is open. ”

"Someone must be here and don't want anyone else to know. ”

"We jumped through the back door and went to have a look. ”

The two people climbed over the wall of the back door, in front of which was the back mountain of Qinghu Temple, a forest of shrubs, Zhou Yanbo didn't know where to start, but it was a piece of cake for Yindie, she quickly found a trail with traces of people walking, and walked forward along this trail, and Zhou Yanbo followed closely, and the two came to the end of the trail, which was a cave with fire in it, and it seemed that this was where people were hiding.

Yindie himself explored the road in front, let Zhou Yanbo follow closely, and after entering the cave, after zigzag and walked for a while, there was a fork in the road, one was windy, the other was not, and the two of them walked the windy one, and the result was a tidal flat, and there were many boats on it, but there was no one.

"It seems that these people came ashore from here. Zhou Yanbo said. Then the two of them returned to the road where there was no wind, and after a few steps, they heard someone talking inside, and the two people hid in the dark and stared at the people inside: the monks and fishermen, who looked like ordinary people, were plotting something, and Zhou Yanbo heard it very clearly.

"The food has been raised. ”

"Weapons will be ready tomorrow!"

"The surroundings of Wuxian County have also been explored. ”

……

Then the two of them left the cave and ran quickly towards Qinghu Temple.

"This group of people is planning to attack Wuxian?" Yin Die said.

"That's right, and the day after tomorrow at the shortest. Zhou Yanbo said.

"But I still don't understand, Wuxian doesn't rely on the lake, if you want to go to Wuxian, you have to go to Beihu first, how can they pass through Beihu? You can't swagger through Beihu with weapons, right?"

"They don't even have to go through North Lake. Zhou Yanbo said, "As long as the boat is parked on the shore closest to Wuxian, and then rush directly to Wuxian, I have seen the map, it only takes less than half a day's work, this section of the road is all flat, there is no mountain road, it is easy to walk." ”

"Then Wuxian is really dangerous, it seems that I heard that a city wall in Wuxian County was damaged because of heavy rain. ”

"That's right, fortunately, we know about this, so let's go to the dock now, set off as soon as dawn, and go to Wuxian before them. ”

"Go to Wuxian? Xiaoyan, aren't you here to find the mastermind of this rebellion case? Just let Wei Liang go for something like this, there's no need to go to Wuxian again, right? Isn't it because of a small loss?"

"What do we know besides knowing that the mastermind is Meng Sun's attention? It is better to wait for this group of people in Wuxian, they are definitely not voluntarily rebelling, there must be someone behind the instigation, maybe from their mouths, we can know the news we want. ”

"I see. ”

The next day, when it was almost noon, in the temporary mansion of Hubei Road, Wei Liang was handling official business, and suddenly Zhou Yanbo kicked open the door and broke in, which startled Wei Li, and the brush in his hand also fell to the ground.

"Lord, you are ......"

"How many troops can be mobilized in Beihu now?" Zhou Yanbo ignored Wei Li's surprised expression and directly inserted into the topic.

"How can there be extra troops. "Although the rain has subsided for the time being, there are still two-thirds of the damaged houses, docks, and city walls in Beihu that need to be repaired, and the recent rebellion has caused panic and other miscellaneous things, so there is no manpower at all." ”

"Not at all?"

"I'm afraid that all the Daodu counties of the Zhou clan are like this now, and you also know the hard-hit area of Beihu. Wei Liang said as he picked up the pen that had fallen on the ground, "What's the matter? ”

"Wuxian is in danger now, and it will be attacked by rebels in the next two days, and I need troops. ”

"Wuxian?" Wei Liang said, "Forget it, I clearly told you, the lord, that Beihu really can't help much, not to mention the extra troops in the city, not even the extra labor." ”

"Isn't that bad? Zhou Yanbo said, "I didn't even expect that this would be the case, so what about the capital of Zhudong?

Wei Liang shook his head: "I advise you not to fight the idea of the Eastern Capital, it is the border of the Zhou family, and the Eastern Capital is no better there, that is, you can transfer troops, with the current situation of the official road, it will be too late to reach Wu County, and you can only fight the idea of Wu County now." ”

"The city wall of Wuxian County is damaged, and it is a little difficult......"

"I'll say a word. Wei Liang said, "Since you were able to scare away Huyang's three times more troops than yourself at that time, it is not impossible to scare off these people again, to say that you don't like to hear, they are just a group of rabble, some people are just for show, how many people are willing to really rebel?"

"That's all there is to it. Zhou Yanbo walked out, "Cat, let's go!" Wei Li, Yan'er and Xu Lao, you help me take care of it first. ”

"Yes. ”

Zhou Yanbo and the two of them arrived in Wuxian County again without stopping, and Zhou Yanbo rode directly into the county government: "Where is the county order of Wuxian County?"

"Here. Tang Qinian walked out wearing a county magistrate's uniform.

"You really have the county order of Wu County. Zhou Yanbo smiled.

"Your Excellency is really not an ordinary person, no matter where you are, it is a great crime to trespass on a horse to the City Lord's Mansion. ”

"Young poor mouth!" Zhou Yanbo got off the horse and took out the main jade, "The county order of Wuxian County is waiting for the order!"

"The Zhou family is the master!?" Tang Qinian immediately saluted.

"Someone will come to attack Wuxian tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and I want you to defend Wuxian with me. ”

"Do what the Lord commands. ”

"Tang County Order, how many troops are available in Wuxian County now, don't tell me if there are any!"

"On the contrary, there were 1,300 people. ”

"Oh? ”

"The number of troops in the cities under heaven is stipulated: no less than 3,000 standing troops at the county level, no less than 8,000 standing troops at the prefectural level, no less than 15,000 standing troops at the capital level, and even more than 18,000 standing troops in the capital where the 17 provinces are located. No matter what happens, having a working force is the most basic condition for a city to sustain. ”

"Very good!" Zhou Yanbo told Tang Qinian what he knew, "Then you come to Wuxian County's defense, I won't interfere in everything, and the final result I want is: let the other party retreat and must capture the mastermind among them, do you dare to take it?"

"Why don't you dare?"

"Very good, I'll let Yindie help you, and she will listen to you for the time being. Zhou Yanbo said.

In the afternoon of the next day, the rebellious peasant army rushed towards Wuxian County, although the scale was huge, but it was never the opponent of the well-trained, leisurely standing army, under the leadership of Tang Qinian, it did not take long to rout, and then Tang Qinian and Yindie each escorted a person to the county government to see Zhou Yanbo, one was a fisherman, the other was a monk, and it looked like a temple.

Zhou Yanbo walked over and asked, "Who instructed you to do this?"

"There is no need to say more!" said the superintendent, "You man-eating demon will surely go to the eighteenth layer of hell after death!"

It doesn't seem like a monk said that. Zhou Yanbo said, "Are you so sure I'm going to hell?"

"Of course. The temple said, "Now there are waves of people who are crusading against you, and we will definitely throw you, the enemy of the Buddha, into hell, but the Buddha is on our side." ”

"Nonsense!" Zhou Yanbo retorted loudly, "The Buddha will not be on your side, he will only be on my side." ”

"You?"

"Will the Buddha make you not know right from wrong? Will the Buddha let you leave your destroyed homeland alone? Will the Buddha let you take up arms privately? Will the Buddha put the people in dire straits? Think about it, although you have suffered from floods, now is the time for the autumn harvest, and this is the most important thing for the survival of ordinary people in a year, so the Buddha can bear to destroy this year's autumn harvest?"

"To monks like you, the Buddha will not be on your side, let alone bless you. Zhou Yanbo said, "So the Buddha will only stand on my side and help me quell this farce!"
