1. Chapter 3 of the Covenant

(Book friend group, buckle 490987571.) )

Under the city of Dingyuan, the battle flag sounded in the wind, and a line of big characters was written on it, and the commander of the left army of the Haozhou Red Turban made Zhu.

The official army has been defeated, Zhu Wu led his troops to pursue all the way, but did not encounter any resistance, and when he arrived at the foot of Dingyuan City, there were more than 1,000 people in his department, and they were unharmed.

For a long time, the number of soldiers under his command was just a number in Zhu Wu's heart, and he didn't have any intuitive feelings.

But at this moment, in addition to the personal guards, the soldiers and horses under his command formed four neat phalanxes, staring at Dingyuan, and Zhu Wu couldn't help but feel a little arrogant in his heart.

A few months ago, he was a beggar for food, and a few months later he was the commander of an army. It is unknown whether the times make people or the times create heroes.

"General, when will the city be attacked?"

Zhu Wu was immediately looking at the head of Dingyuan City, and the Taoist Xi Yingzhen approached and said, "Dingyuan City is small and outnumbered, and the official army has just been defeated, and it is the time when people are panicking. ”

"Send someone to shoot a letter into the city, persuade you to surrender!" Zhu Wu thought for a while, and said on the horse, "It is inevitable that there will be deaths and injuries in the siege, and there are enough brothers who have died in the past few days." ”

"The general is benevolent!" Xi Yingzhen smiled.

Subsequently, Lan Yu rode down the city and shot a letter into it.

………

"How's that okay?"

Dingyuan County is in his forties, and he is also dignified.

But at this moment, he is like an ant on a hot pot, fidgeting in the county office.

Originally, after Haozhou was captured by the rebels, he was afraid of Dingyuan County day and night. finally looked forward to the official army, who would have thought that the kung fu of only a few days would be defeated.

Then the red scarf thieves came to the door, and now the defenders in the city are only five hundred, how can they stop them.

Next to the county order, the two staff masters also looked like six gods and no masters, so they could only accompany them in a hurry, and they couldn't come up with an idea.

"Report! Lord Prefectural Order, a letter from a thief is ejaculated! A servant shouted outside.

"Bring it in!" The county order was made in three steps and two parts, and he walked over and took the letter from the hand of the officer, and opened it with a few lines written on it.

"For the people of the city, for the lives of the family, surrender!"

The county order gasped, this persuasion was too unceremoniously written, and the cold others panicked between the lines.

This is Zhu Wu's handwriting, not so literary, it is best to be direct. If it doesn't fall, it's useless to wear out the skin of your mouth.

The two staff members looked at each other behind the county commander, and one of them said, "My lord, those who come are not good, and those who are good are not coming." It is clearly written in this letter that surrender can save one's life, and now the form of adults thinks twice! ”

Another staff member also said, "My lord, the students heard that there are tens of thousands of red scarves in Haozhou, and the city is just a vanguard army, we can't stop it for a while, then the Mongolian generals are defeated, how can we, the scholars, resist?" ”

"What do you mean to surrender?" The county commander smiled bitterly, "This official is not a pedantic person, but there are only these words on this letter, and I don't know the bottom of my heart!" What if they enter the city and are unreasonable and kill you and me? ”

The staff member who spoke first thought for a moment, "In this case, the students have a way, it is better to send someone outside the city to make an appointment with the red scarf for three chapters." ”

"That's a great idea!" The prefectural magistrate said, "Who can be sent!" You go? ”

The staff hurriedly shook his head and continued, "Students can recommend a person, this person is quite famous in the countryside and a big family in this county, so he is just right to go!" ”

The county magistrate hurriedly asked, "Who?" ”

The staff replied, "Li Baimu, Li Shanchang." ”

………

Outside the city, Zhu Wu was resting with his soldiers.

The arrow went in but there was no response, and seeing that it was getting dark, everyone was a little anxious.

Erhu came to Zhu Wu's side, "Fifth brother, when will it be, these officials don't cry when they don't see the coffin, it's better for me to take someone to fight for a while." ”

Zhu Wu stretched out his hand to give him a brain meltdown, "Will you attack the city?" ”

"How did the officers and soldiers fight, let's learn!" Erhu said, "Put up a ladder and climb up." ”

"You can pull it down, you're going to die!" Zhu Wu said, "You have to use your brains to fight, you can't be reckless, and the officers and soldiers didn't come hard when they fought in Haozhou, according to your style of play, how many brothers are enough to die?" ”

As he was talking, someone in front of him shouted, "Fifth brother, someone from the city has come down!" ”

I saw a wooden basket hanging from the top of the city. Then a middle-aged man who looked like a scholar came out of the basket.

"Under is the envoy of the Dingyuan County Order, and the leader of the Righteous Army is speaking!"

Erhu scratched his head, "What?" ”

Zhu Wu gave him a kick, "Bring it here!" ”

The envoy of the county order is Li Shanchang, who was recommended by the staff, and it stands to reason that a scholar like him is from a big family, so he should be afraid to avoid the red scarf.

But he is different, he knows that this Great Yuan Dynasty is terminally ill. A southern scholar like him is inferior in the imperial examination, and this is the case for scholars, so what hope does this court have.

So the county order asked him to go out of the city, not only was he not afraid, but he wanted to see what the red scarf that could stir up the world was like.

Coming down from the city wall, a few young men came to lead the way. He secretly observed that although most of the soldiers were resting, they were all sitting on the ground, with their weapons at hand, ready to fight at any time.

It is not at all like the chaotic appearance of the officers and soldiers, which shows that the military discipline is strict and well-trained. What is rare is that the team of thousands of people is young and strong, and there are neither coerced people nor robbed women.

"Fifth brother, people have brought it!"

The person who picked up Li Shanchang was Lan Yu, and after bringing it to Zhu Wu, he said a word, and stood behind Zhu Wu.

Li Shanchang was even more surprised, the people on the other side were too young, and the young generals around him were also too young, if it weren't for the traces of weapon strikes on their bodies, and the injuries on their bodies, they really looked like descendants in the countryside.

Zhu Wu is a man in his forties, stable and generous, neither humble nor arrogant, and a little good feeling rises in his heart.

At that moment, he smiled, "Do you have something to say about your county order?" ”

Li Shanchang looked at Zhu Wu, recognized him as the leader, saluted and said, "Dare to ask the general's name!" ”

Zhu Wu said lightly, "Zhu Wu." ”

Lan Yu behind him seemed to feel that Zhu Wu was not majestic enough to say this, and interjected, "My fifth brother is the commander of the left army of Haozhou, and the righteous son of Guo Dashuai, the general manager of Haozhou!" ”

Li Shanchang had heard of Guo Zixing's name a long time ago, and even about the three generations of Guo Dashuai's ancestors, he inquired about it, but he didn't know that Guo Zixing had a righteous son.

However, at the neckline of the old Dao Zhu Wutie armor, the cloth clothes had been dyed brown with blood, and he was relieved.

This young man must be a fierce general under Guo Zixing.

When he spoke again, he was even more angry, and said, "The county commander is under the command and asks a few words." ”

"I don't have anything to ask." Zhu Wu smiled, "Words, I made it clear in the letter, surrendering to protect his net worth and life, not only him, but also the officials in the city, as long as there is no anger from the people, can save their lives and property." ”

Li Shanchang's heart moved slightly, "If there is public anger, how about it?" ”

"Slaughter, give the people a breath!" Zhu Wu said with a smile, "I confiscated my family wealth and used it as military funds." ”

"What if it's a good officer?" Li Shanchang asked again.

"Of course." Zhu Wu said, "Continue to benefit one party and do things for the people." ”

Li Shanchang continued to ask, "How do the people in the city treat them?" ”

Zhu Xiaoxiao, "Be kind, we poor men were also poor people before the rebellion." We are against the tyranny of the Great Yuan, not the people! ”

Li Shanchang's heart became more and more surprised, he was familiar with history books, and naturally knew what the so-called righteous army of all dynasties was like. It is justified to kill officials, but it is also extremely vicious to harm the people.

But the young leader in front of him, just a few words, seems to have a common heart and extraordinary knowledge.

I heard Zhu Wu continue, "I know what you think in your heart, it's just that you're afraid that we will enter the city and harm the people." Our brothers are all children of Haozhou, and the people of Dingyuan are also villagers. If you don't kiss your hometown, how can you do it to your fellow villagers, and you won't commit any crime in the autumn after entering the city! ”

Li Shanchang was overjoyed and said with a smile, "What the general said is extremely true, but there is no basis for what he said. ”

"Do you want me to make a note?" Zhu Wu smiled and said, "Okay, bring a pen and paper, write it back and give it to you the county order." ”

Everyone behind him looked at each other, and everyone who couldn't read and write, where did they get the pen and paper?

Zhu Wu was helpless, cut a piece of clothing with a knife, gritted his teeth, and cut his fingers.

On the cloth, it was written, "After entering the city, do not harm the people, do not plunder property, and do not kill the surrendered officials." ”

Signed, Zhu Wu.

This move was a whim of Zhu Wuyi, but in Li Shanchang's heart, it was turbulent.

Throughout history, no one has ever done this. Even Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, only made three chapters with the local father after he entered the customs.

The young man in front of him, the army is no more than a thousand, and the land is no more than a city, but he can not be arrogant or rash, take the people as the foundation, and think of the common people, which is rare.

Thinking of this, Li Shanchang's heart moved, Haozhou and Peidi are not far away, could it be that these two Huai places are going to have a character again?

After finishing writing, Zhu Wu put his finger in his mouth and shook it a few times, and said vaguely, "It's not early, you have to surrender early, the brothers haven't eaten yet!" ”

Li Shanchang folded the cloth preciously, arched his hand and said, "General, please wait for good news and retire below!" ”

"Wait!" Zhu Wu stopped him with a smile and said, "You are a scholar, and I lack a secretary in this camp, what do you think?" By the way, I haven't asked for a name yet. ”

"Under Li Shanchang!" Li Shanchang said with a smile, "Go back to the city first, and then go to see the general later." ”

Zhu Wu was speechless for a moment, this special mother is poisonous.

How are the people who are heavy starlings, one after another popping out in front of Lao Tzu! It's all the worst kind of death!

Thinking of this, he looked at Lan Yu again, who was bored with his fingernails buttoned with his long back.

He doesn't know history, and he knows very few historical celebrities. But he knew that Lan Yu and Li Shanchang were definitely brothers and sisters who had never been seen before or since.

……

But after Li Shanchang returned to the city, the county magistrate asked impatiently.

"How?"

Li Shanchang smiled, "Fortunately, I don't disgrace my life!" ”

After speaking, he took out Zhu Wu's blood book, and recounted the conversation with Zhu Wu by the way.

"Is he really willing to save his official's life?" The county order is still skeptical, and it's no wonder that he has always rebelled, and the first thing he did was to kill the official.

Li Shanchang knew his careful thoughts, and said, "My lord, it is true, and there are words to prove it. Having said that, there is no need for people to fool us, if you are really ruthless, you can just attack the city directly, why bother telling me this! ”

"That's it, that's it! Kaesong, surrender! The county magistrate sighed.

In the spring of the twelfth year of Yuan Zhizheng, the whole city of Dingyuan County surrendered, and the commander of the left army of Haozhou made Zhu Wu stationed in Dingyuan.

(I'm not in a good state these days, and the plot text that was clearly conceived was forgotten when I got to my mouth, and I had a headache!) )
