Chapter 265: Flexibility
The three brothers of Erlongshan were unwilling to be intimidated by the name of the shepherd wolf, and for the dignity of the people of the green forest, they fought with Kang Jiulong, but they still lost.
So Zhu Yunli took Mu Tian Wolf and the others to the Juyi Hall, and he also saw that Mu Tian Wolf did not want to meet with the green forest people, and it was just so good that the two sides could discuss how to win together!
Coming to the Juyi Hall, Zhu Yunli hurriedly said: "General Mu, please take a seat!" But the shepherd wolf made the chief on the left, and said, "I am a visitor, how can I take the lead." ”
Zhu Yunyan didn't insist when he heard this, so he sat down on the upper seat and said, "General Mu, I don't know if you need our Green Forest brothers to do?" But if these things go against the rules of the green forest that I have set, please forgive me for being really difficult to obey! ”
Mu Tianwolf said: "Zhu Erren should also call out those individuals hidden in the house, and we will make it clear today, so as not to have any entanglements in the future." ”
After hearing this, Zhu Yunlian was shocked, it turned out that the shepherd wolf had already discovered those brothers hidden in his family...... Zhu Yunlian waved his hand, and the two guns on the side knocked Dong Yi and said: "Okay, the brothers from all the halls come out, don't hide it, General Mu has something to command!" ”
When the people in the house heard this, they opened the door and walked out, there were seventy or eighty people, but it made the shepherd wolf sigh, there are so many ringing horses around Ye County in Jizhou, it seems that this Jizhou is indeed not very stable......
The shepherd wolf said: "Since the people are already together, then I will say it directly." I still say the same thing, my task is to eliminate the bandits and ensure that Jizhou becomes a stable rear of the Northern Expedition, and now the top priority is food! If the famine continues, I am afraid that the people will rise up one after another......"
An Langping said: "General Mu is clearly aware that this has nothing to do with our brothers, they are all officials and the people are in rebellion!" Moreover, our second brother has been leading the brothers to raise food as much as possible and distribute it to the people. But how can you receive it quickly......"
The shepherd wolf said: "I have come here for two things, one is to hear how you raise food. ”
Zhu Yunli was blunt and said: "The main thing is to intercept and kill the officers and soldiers who transport grain, and then distribute it. But now that most of the grain is concentrated in the granary of Yecheng, our brothers are a little at a loss. But the dog-headed county guard is in a hurry to find a way to sell and sell the grain! A few days ago, I passed a message to the county guard through the county guard, saying that I have some way here. I want to lure them out of the granary and then halfway through. ”
Mu Tian Wolf said: "Are you sure that the grain is concentrated in the Yecheng granary? And those grains were embezzled by the county guards and planned to sell, not military rations to be transported to the front? ”
Hua Yulang said: "General Mu don't worry, I have already sent someone to investigate, the county guard has looted all the grain in Jizhou, but only about thirty percent of it was sent to the front line, and the rest are all he wants to call people as money to fill his pockets!" And I once disguised myself and mixed into the Yecheng granary, and found that there was a mountain of grain, which was all the blood and sweat of the people! ”
Yulin said: "This is such a business-free business, the horror of high interests, a county guard is afraid that he can't bear it, and he must have the support of high-ranking officials in the capital behind him." ”
Zhu Yunyan said: "This brother is right, in fact, we in the green forest all know that it is Yuwen Huai'an, the left prime minister of the imperial court, who is manipulating behind his back!" I only hate that our brothers can't get into the capital, otherwise the head of the dog official will be hung on the city tower! ”
Mu Tianluo was surprised: "How do you know that Yuwen Huai'an is behind it?" ”
Hua Yulang said: "Because this is not the first time they have done this kind of thing, in the past, they used to transport grain through Zhenbei Pass, and exchanged gold, silver, jewelry, horses, dark iron and other things with the Hulu people and Turkic people, and the guard of Zhenbei Pass is the son of Yu Wen Huai'an, Yuwen Ba!" But I don't know what's going on recently, Yuwenba has been replaced, and the road in Zhenbei Pass is impassable, so these dog officials have no way to sell their stolen goods, and my second brother also took this opportunity to guard the county. ”
Kang Jiulong laughed out loud after hearing this, these green forest people naturally didn't understand what was going on, Luda couldn't hide his words, and shouted: "Hey! What are you laughing at, is it possible that our brother can still trick you! ”
Kang Jiulong said: "I naturally believe you, because that Yuwenba was almost kicked to death by me, and now he is still lying in bed, I am afraid that it will be difficult to take office again in three or five months!" ”
Zhu Yunli was surprised: "It's really admirable that this brother can be so fearless of the powerful!" That Yuwenba is the governor of the Northern Regions, and he is still the son of the prime minister, his brother hit him hard, and he can still be safe and sound, it is really ......" Zhu Yunli really didn't know how to "praise" Kang Jiulong, in fact, he felt that this guy was too tiger......
Ruda also said: "Is this true? Hey, it turns out that the little general is so heroic and fearless, and the Sprinkle family will not lose this halberd! ”
Kang Jiulong said: "What is this, my general killed the fourth son of Yuwen Huai'an on the spot, isn't it okay?" ”
When the people in the green forest heard this, they felt even more incredible...... The shepherd wolf said, "Okay, if I'm really that powerful, you don't need to wear a mask." ”
As soon as the Shepherd Wolf said this, Zhu Yunli and the others understood that Kang Jiulong was wearing a mask because he injured Yuwenba and was hidden by the Shepherd Wolf...... It seems that the shepherd wolf is also a person who meets righteousness and courage, and draws a sword to help.
In fact, the shepherd wolf only fell in love with Kang Jiulong's earth spirit, if it was someone else, he would definitely not care......
Mu Tianwolf said: "The matter of food, I don't have to spend so much effort on Zhu Eryuan, I will open a warehouse to release grain, but I need the brothers under Zhu Eryuan to help distribute the food, I don't have enough manpower." ”
Zhu Yunyan said: "Is General Mu's words serious? If General Mu asked the Green Forest Brothers to do this, we would naturally obey our orders! ”
The shepherd wolf said: "Not all, I said, the first thing I came here was for food, and there was a second thing. As soon as the grain goes down, the big rear of Jizhou is stable, but I still have a task to complete to clear the bandits, otherwise I can't make a difference in front of the emperor. ”
When a group of green forest heroes heard this, they realized that things were really not as simple as they thought. Zhu Yunyan said: "If General Mu has something to say, just say it, our brothers will listen to it!" ”
Mu Tianwolf said: "Actually, it's simple, the so-called elimination of bandits is to let there be no more bandits on the ground in Jizhou, so I don't necessarily have to kill you all, I just need you to keep to yourself and don't come out to commit crimes again." I don't care about other times, but before I destroy Beiyan and Nanchen, I hope you put away your knives and guns and disappear, otherwise I will only have to lead my troops to visit you mountain by mountain! ”
After hearing this, the bandits had their own thoughts and different ideas, and Luda took the lead and said: "General Mu, if you can really kill those dog officials, so that the people will no longer endure freezing and starvation, there will be no need for our Erlongshan brothers to do the right thing for heaven anymore!" When the time comes, they will naturally disperse and return to Nongsang! ”
Wu Song said: "Big brother is right, we are not used to the righteous banner raised by the world, if the world is too peaceful, our brothers are not willing to stay on the mountain and fight against the government!" ”
Zhu Yunlian also said: "Okay! If General Mu can really make Jizhou peaceful, I don't have to covet the position of this chief scoop leader, so I can naturally withdraw from Jizhou! If General Mu can make the whole world peaceful, I, Zhu Yunyan, will completely wash my hands and withdraw from the rivers and lakes! It's a big deal that I'll reorganize my ancestral business and continue to run my dart game! ”
And some people are willing to let go of the power in their hands, and naturally there are also people who are unwilling to let go, such as Mu Hongchun from Jieyangling, who said weakly: "General Mu is saying that we can't make trouble again before Beiyan and Nanchen are destroyed, right, so I don't know when Beiyan and Nanchen will be destroyed?" ”
The shepherd wolf said: "Within a year." ”
Everyone turned their heads to each other and talked about it. In the end, no one wanted to jump out and face the shepherd wolf face to face, so he said, "Okay! We will listen to General Mu, and within a year, we will no longer oppose the government, but General Mu must also ensure that the government will not come to us for trouble! Otherwise, we can't sit still. ”
The shepherd wolf said, "Yes." But Zhu Yunli said: "What General Mu wants to guarantee is not that the government will not come to us for trouble, but that the government will not find trouble for the people." ”
The shepherd wolf felt that this Zhu Yunlian was really an interesting person......
In the end, the shepherd wolf reached an agreement with the green forest people in Jizhou, that is, the shepherd wolf guaranteed that the people could live and work in peace and contentment, and the green forest people promised that they would not commit crimes and make trouble within a year.
Mu Tianwolf said: "Outside the second member of Zhu, tomorrow, take your brothers to the gate of Yecheng to wait, and I will transport the grain in the granary." When the time comes, you will be responsible for transporting the grain and distributing it to the people in all parts of Jizhou, and if the local government dares to order it to be collected again, I will come forward to deal with it. ”
Zhu Yunyan said: "General Mu rest assured, we will definitely live up to our mission and send food to every household!" ”
Then, the shepherd said, "Let's go, we should go back and meet the county guard." After dealing with the matter here as soon as possible, we still have to rush to Bingzhou, it is estimated that General Geshu has already taken the fire phoenix and them to start attacking Zhongshan Kingdom, and we can't leave too much behind. ”
Yulin said: "I'm afraid this matter can't be solved with one knife, after all, there are too many officials involved, if it is decided one by one, there will be no officials available in Jizhou......"
The shepherd wolf said: "I understand, only punish the evil, kill the chicken and make an example of the monkey." Mu Tianluo suddenly remembered that Zhu Yunlian had sent a message to the county guard through the county officer, so he said: "Outside of Zhu Erren, I don't know what the county leader in Yecheng is like?" ”
Zhu Yunyan said: "Hey, speaking of that juncheng, he is also a fool, and he doesn't understand!" This person's surname is Song Mingjiang, saying that he is a corrupt official and corrupt official, he likes to fight for righteousness and squandering money, making friends with heroes in the green forest, and often cares about the people, and also has a heart of loyalty to the country. But let's say that he is a good official, but he also colluded with those dog officials in the court, accepted bribes, and bent the law for personal gain! Probably a bit of a Jianghu dream of officialdom. ”
Shepherd Wolf said: "In other words, he is a more contradictory person? ”
Zhu Yunyan said: "General Mu is right, he lives a very contradictory life. I have known him for many years, I know his character, if he is pulled into the green forest, he will definitely not be loyal to the country, but put him in the officialdom, he has no professional ethics...... That's why I went to the county guard through him, this kind of person is suitable for hovering between the government and the green forest. ”
Yulin said: "I'm afraid that Zhu Erren didn't see this county clearly, I estimate that the current county guard may be an empty shelf, and many officials under him should be more willing to listen to this county officer." ”
The shepherd wolf also felt that this county was probably lacking in foundation, but there was definitely ambition.
"Let's go, let's go and meet this county man, I hope he is a person who knows the times." After saying that, Shepherd Wolf, Yulin, and Kang Jiulong left the manor.
Zhu Yunlian took a group of green forest heroes and said: "Congratulations to General Mu, tomorrow I will go to the city gate to wait for General Mu's good news!" ”
