Chapter 211: The head of the city teases General Zhang
Looking down from the top of the city, the officers and soldiers were in the dark, not to mention four or five thousand people. If such an army rushes into the city desperately, Bu'an will have no other way but to try to escape.
But now they were dozens of feet away from the city wall, and they did not move forward. This at least shows one point: the person who leads the army is not a reckless man.
That's easy to do – smart people tend to overthink. Sima Yi, who fell for Kong Ming's empty city plan back then, was a well-known smart man during the Three Kingdoms. And if Sima Yi is replaced by Lu Bu and Xu Chu Zhiliu, and when he sees the city gate open, I am afraid that he will kill the horse and enter the city regardless of the thirty-seven twenty-one.
The facts are exactly as Bu'an expected.
Zhang Xianye is known for his dominance on the Qimin Road, but he is not stupid. He had already learned from the officers and soldiers who had fled to report that there were no more than a few hundred guards in the city. Now that he has personally led ten times his troops to suppress it, the only thing he needs to worry about is not to fall for any tricks.
Zhang Xianye has lived in Fujian for a long time and knows almost everything about Changtai County. In his opinion, the east and west sides of Changtai County are desperate situations with high mountains and rapid waters, and the north side of the mountains is the most poisonous place of death for the Lunatic Cult. When the bandits occupy the city, they naturally have nowhere to escape, and they must defend the city.
At this time, he was in charge of the Chinese army, and some soldiers brought people from the Changtai County Inspection Department over. The man fell to his knees, pointed to the city, and said, "The scholar is the leader of the bandits."
"The person who claims to be in charge of Changtai County's defense in the name of Song Yinting is this person?" Zhang Xianye is thirty-four or five years old, not tall, with high cheekbones, deep-set eyes, and tanned skin all year round. He sat motionless on horseback, never glancing at the inspector who was kneeling underneath.
"Returning to your lordship...... The small ones are faintly audible. The elderly inspector's face was unusually ugly.
Before Zhang Xianye could speak, a horsewhip was whipped in the official's face.
"Vaguely heard?!Did you hear it or didn't you hear it?!" It was Zhang Xianye's personal soldiers who taught the lesson.
"I heard, I did, the villain heard it very true! That's what the scholar said!" The old official kowtowed like pounding garlic, and the whip marks on his face were bloody, and he couldn't stop dripping blood.
"Song Yinting ......" Zhang Xianye muttered softly, without a trace of emotion in his tone.
At this time, a scout on a fast horse came to report that the other three gates were closed and there was no trace of the enemy. Zhang Xianye then ordered the infantry to divide the troops and go to surround the other three city gates.
At the head of the city, after Bu An asked "General Zhang is in the array", he didn't hear a reply for a long time. The other party didn't react, and he wasn't in a hurry. After a while, I saw that the officers and soldiers under the city moved, and the rear army divided into several groups and scattered in the east and west directions. At the same time, a small detachment of cavalry, breaking through the formation, came to the front of the formation.
Bu An saw clearly that in the center of this small group of cavalry, there was a person who was not wearing heavy chain mail, and the surrounding soldiers seemed to be deliberately surrounding and guarding this person—needless to say, this person should be Zhang Xianye.
By this time the sun had set over the western side of the city, and it would not be long before it would be completely dark.
"General Zhang, do you still recognize me?!" he suddenly said loudly.
Dozens of feet away, Zhang Xianye looked at him for a while, and asked coldly: "Who are you?" The voice didn't sound loud, and it was even a little low and dumb, and it was clearly audible when it was transmitted so far away, obviously a lot of cultivation.
"General Zhang is really a nobleman, how forgetful...... I can't even hear the voice of the couple?!" Bu An couldn't help laughing, imitating the accent of Fujian.
In the world he was once familiar with, such a clumsy deception was already rotten on the street. But here, it's still fresh.
Zhang Xianye was slightly stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart that this person had just said the authentic official language, why did his accent change and have a bit of Licheng flavor? Could it be that he had really seen it before?
"Who are you?" Zhang Xianye asked again, this time in a softer tone than before.
"General Zhang!" Bu An stood straight, his hands behind his back, and looked at the sky at forty-five degrees: "Do you remember the summer rain lotus on the shore of Daming Lake?!"
"Daming Lake?Rainy River?" Zhang Xianye was asked by him, his brows furrowed slightly, and he felt that something was wrong, but he nodded deliberately and made a look of sudden realization: "Since you are an old man, why don't you come down and talk about it?"
"Come down?" Bu An stretched out a finger and shook it: "It's impossible to come down, it's impossible to come down for a lifetime." ”
Zhang Xianye's face gradually turned cold, and now, he naturally knew that he was being tricked.
He was about to have a seizure, only to hear the scholar at the head of the city suddenly shout: "Since you don't remember, I might as well tell you!" Under is a sword coming from the west, flying immortals outside the sky, crisscrossing the north, fighting all over the south of the Yangtze River, traveling thousands of miles a day with sandbags, flying eaves and walking on the walls of the strange east evil and west poison, iron teeth and copper teeth, Dugu seeks defeat, and the jade-faced Langjun ......."
Zhang Xianye was secretly surprised when he heard it, and said in his heart where did this person get so many nicknames, obviously seven do not match eight, but each one is more majestic than the other. If it was made up on the spot, it would have been a bit of a haste - but who would be bored enough to prepare this basket of nicknames in advance?
Bu An reported twenty or thirty names in one breath, changed his tone, and continued: "You just need to remember, my name is Ye Liangchen! I have a hundred ways to make you unable to live, if you want to try, Liangchen might as well play with you!"
Zhang Xianye couldn't remember that there was such a number one person as "Ye Liangchen" in this world. This scholar is crazy, isn't he?
His limited patience had been exhausted, and being teased by this person in front of so many subordinates made him even more angry. However, the more this happened, the more calm he became. After instructing his own soldiers and sending scouts to pay attention to the movement of a large number of reinforcements nearby, the whole person did not move at all and stopped talking.
His reaction was exactly what Bu'an expected.
In this world, the empty city plan is also a story that women and children know, and it is impossible for Zhang Xianye not to have heard of it. It is obviously impossible for him to be suspicious and take the initiative to withdraw from the army.
Bu'an didn't have this kind of luxury. His purpose was just to stall for time.
From Zhang Xianye's standpoint, the more arrogant Bu'an is, the more he deliberately provokes him, the more likely he is to be deceitful.
As the sun sets, the sky gets darker.
Bu An estimated that the time was almost up, and suddenly shouted angrily: "Zhang Xianye!"
He had only shouted with his voice before, but this time he used his divine power, and his voice was as loud as a bell and drum, and it could be heard almost for miles.
Zhang Xianye was taken aback when he heard this, but he didn't expect that the scholar in the city was young and his cultivation was quite impressive. To be able to use spiritual power and transmit sound for several miles, at least it must be in the realm of Confucian qi cultivation.
"You shield your relatives and brutalize the township! You must know that the sky net is magnificent, and negligence is not leaked!"
"Today, in order to save the forest thieves, you have repeatedly come to attack, and now you are leading the army to besiege the city!
"How many people's wives have been scattered, how have you ever asked? Once the forest thief is caught, you will jump off the wall in a hurry! Is it really that this Seven Fujian Road is the world of your Zhang family?!"
"Seven Fujian Dao worships the moon and poisons, it turns out that your Zhang family is the tiger!"
Zhang Xianye was inexplicable when he heard it, and he didn't know where to start with this sudden accusation.
But it doesn't matter if he's inexplicable, as long as the people of Changtai County can understand it. With the public trial in front of the county government, coupled with this emotional reprimand, the framework of the story is already very complete, and the rest is left to time to ferment.
In the night, dense arrows shot up from under the city, and Bu An had already turned over and jumped into the other side of the city wall one step in advance.
He was in front, Su Su was behind, and the two of them ran towards the northern city as if they were flying, and there was a loud sound of the bricks and stones of the city wall cracking behind them, and the rain of arrows that followed closely fell to the ground.
A black shadow spread behind the two of them, enveloping Bu'an's entire body in a moment.
He waited until now, just for the sunset when the charm could appear. This female ghost has been practicing with him for a few days, and the two are familiar with each other, and it may be difficult to meet a real master, but it is not difficult to get out of the army safely.
At this time, the officers and soldiers broke into the county seat of Changtai, and the city was in chaos.
Under the cover of the ghost, Bu'an unknowingly climbed over a section of the city wall and fled into the night. Su Su is afraid of ghosts, and he is far behind.
