Chapter 94: A Thousand Miles to Help

The people of Tewu County all know that the county slaughter of flowing water and the Zhang family of iron fighting.

After all, more than ten years ago, Tewu was still called Fuping, and the entire county was the fief of the Zhang family. As the descendants of the cool official Zhang Tang, this family shined in the former dynasty Xuan, Yuan Shi, the fifth ancestor Zhang Anshi did the position of "the general of the big Sima Che Cavalry", after which the Zhang family was rich and noble, not a relative, but more stable than a relative, Guanzhong even used "Jin, Zhang" to refer to the illustrious family.

But after the dictatorship of Wang's relatives, the Zhang family was a little down, first lost his official position and was driven back to the fief, and then Wang Mang took away the marquis, leaving only a lord of the attached city and becoming a rich man.

However, although the political status is not as good as the Yiyang Hou Fu family and the Yicheng Hou Gan family, and is nicknamed the third powerful family in the north, the Zhang family is far more powerful than the sum of the two families in terms of wealth, and it also has great power in this county, and the county magistrate has to bow down to his family.

Tewu is good at everything, that is, it is located on the border, close to Rongdi, so the Zhang family built three tall watchtowers near the county seat...... Dock forts, each other horns, external defense against the Huns, internal defense of thieves. There are nearly 1,000 servant tenant farmers, hundreds of servants, and they control the inlets and outlets of the Qin Canal and the Han Canal.

On May 15, a large-scale fire broke out in the county, but of course it could not be concealed from Zhang's eyes and ears. Because the battle site was not far from the dock fort, the family asked his son Zhang Fen to take more than 100 people to see what was going on, and he himself watched from afar on the dock fort.

After two moments, the fighting stopped, and Zhang Fen returned.

"My lord, as soon as I arrived, I saw the bandits fighting the official army."

Zhang Chun frowned: "Are you sure it's a bandit, not a Hulu?" ”

Zhang Fendao: "Although his generation covered his face with sackcloth and couldn't see his face, he couldn't fake his bun, he was indeed not a Hun with braided hair, and he was holding an apricot yellow flag, and he wrote the words 'for the sky'. “

Zhang Chun shook his head: "The tone is not small, which day is it for, and what is the way to go?" “

"Besides, the bandits in the south of the county are only more than 100 horsemen, and they have always only made small fights, how dare they suddenly attack the new army food team, and they are crazy with hunger?"

Zhang Chun fell into thought: "The Qiang species of the stable subject country, and the three Lu brothers in Sanshui County, who claim to be the great-grandsons of Emperor Xiaowu, are also vertebral buns...... You go on to say. ”

Zhang Fen said: "At this time, the fighting has stopped, and a tall thief wearing a sackcloth cover still pokes a human head with a spear, stands on the car, and shouts, 'Your minister is dead, we will only punish the evil, and the rest will not be killed'." ”

"Is Ruchen really dead?" Zhang Chun was happy in his heart, although the strong dragon did not suppress the head snake, but General Tunhu was on the side, and there was an edict from the imperial court, so he did not dare to take the squires to resist rent and taxes.

But Zhang Chun doesn't pay attention to Ruchen, and the guy who kills chickens and eggs is also deeply hated, but this guy dares to come to the door to ask Zhang's to donate food!

Even if there were no bandits, when Zhang Chun couldn't bear it anymore, he wanted to set up a bureau and took Ruchen's life.

"And then?"

Zhang Fendao: "Then everyone under Ruchen Sima dispersed in a hurry, leaving the grain cart alone. ”

"The group of bandits was about to leave with the grain cart, but they heard a shout of killing from the north, but it was Sima Wulun, who was stationed in the north of the county, who came."

Zhang Chun stroked his beard: "Wait, the two battalions are so far apart, why did the fifth lun come so quickly." ”

Zhang Fen said: "The two of them made an appointment to go to the camp today to hand over the grain, the fifth Lun has crossed the Kushui River, only twenty miles apart, and when he heard the urgency, he left his heavy grain and grass, and hurriedly came to help!" ”

"It's strange to say, the pigs under the command of Ruchen suddenly encountered thieves, and they all scattered in a hurry, and they collapsed at the first touch. On the other hand, the hundreds of envy soldiers led by the Fifth Lun, although the formation was scattered, they followed him closely, not afraid of the bandits. Although I don't know what the real combat power is, the momentum is indeed amazing. Even the most vicious bandits were frightened, and did not dare to confront them, so they only fled away with the head of your minister. ”

"Er also took the opportunity to go over to meet with Fifth Lun, and when he was talking to me and sighing, he suddenly slapped his thigh!"

Zhang Chunqi said: "What's wrong?" ”

Zhang Fenyan: "Fifth Lun said...... 'The bandits are cunning, and they have the head of Ruchen Sima, and they may go to attack the barriers, and I hope that Zhang Jun will send people to help my battalion master Bo Xuanbiao escort grain to the county seat, and I will go to the aid of friendly troops!'" ’”

……

According to the plan, it was only to let Ma Yuan take seventy or eighty horsemen and carry the head of Ruchen to intimidate outside the barrier camp, so that Wu Lun would have an excuse to go in and take over the camp.

But the two never expected that the defense of the barrier was so loose, and Ma Yuan suddenly had a whim on the road, so he changed his outfit and drove a group of routs to flee towards the barrier. The soldiers who were ordered by Ruchen to guard the barrier, when they heard that Ruchen Sima was being chased by thieves, they didn't think much about it, and opened the door directly to answer.

So Ma Yuan, who chased after the rout, took the opportunity to step forward, shouting that Ruchen was dead and threatening everyone, and immediately beheaded several people, and killed one more as a hundred. Coincidentally, it was the guy who was going to catch Ma Yuan and Wan Yu that day.

As a result, the barrier was lost, and the Zhu Tu Yong thought that Hu Lu was coming, and they made a mess, and some people took the opportunity to escape, and it was difficult for the remaining soldiers to organize a counterattack.

At the moment of this chaos, Wu Lun arrived with people again, and he was shocked to see the chaos of the obstacles, which is different from the script that was said.

Then they shouted for the fifth battalion to come to help, and it didn't matter, and the horse aid understood, helped the wounded to get on their horses, and galloped out of the barrier with the cavalry, and marched south.

When the fifth Lun led people to run over, there was still the shadow of half a thief, and there was only a chaotic camp barrier.

"Ruchen Sima has been beheaded by thieves, from now on, until General Tunhu sends a new military commander, the south of the county will be replaced by me for the time being."

The fifth lun was resolute and resolute, and the barrier defense was rearranged, and the granary was taken over together.

Ru Chen's cronies Jun Hou had objections to this, and refused to hand over the account books, so he was turned on the spot by Wu Lun, claiming that Jun Hou was the thief Kou Neiying, not only informed the thief of Ru Chen's whereabouts, but also deliberately opened the door to let them in, everyone watched, the evidence was conclusive, and he was beheaded on the spot!

The military waiters didn't have time to shout: "I shed blood for Daxin" and lost his head and hung on the gate, and no one dared to resist the fifth lun.

And the account book was also "lost" in the confusion, and now no one knows how much grain is left in the warehouse except for the fifth lun.

When the fifth Lun entered the warehouse and saw thousands of stone grains and rice piled up, it was only half a month, which was much faster than the fifth clan's hard work in farming and doing business. Sure enough, the means of getting rich are all written in the criminal law!

Fifth Lun grabbed a handful of yellow corn grains in the palm of his hand and smiled: "Ru Chen, Ru Chen, you have indeed obtained a lot of food from looting the people's fat and people's ointment, but in the next second, it will be mine!" ”

……

"Something is wrong."

Dai Gong, a military candidate, was squatting beside the more than ten cars held by the fifth battalion, and he was very worried.

Since the fifth Lun was received by the emperor to give him a knight, Dai Gong has been much more honest, and he doesn't dare to embarrass the fifth Sima openly and secretly.

He wanted to beg Liang Qiuci to transfer him away, but he didn't expect that the fifth Lun would be graciously retained, and Liang Qiuci also said to Dai Gong: "Stay, keep an eye on the fifth Lun for the captain of this school." ”

So Dai Gong began his latent life, on the way north of the fifth battalion, every move was remembered, and he reported to Liang Qiuci at every opportunity, mostly because of the fifth Lun's love for soldiers, benevolence, and compassion for farmers.

But after they settled in the north of Tewu County, things changed.

Although he is a military candidate, Dai Gong has been completely hollowed out, only let him supervise the soldiers and pawns, and the key grain searches, soldiers, and warehouses are all assigned to the cronies of the fifth Lun, the seventh Biao and Xuan Biao, the two civil and military biaos, have become the right-hand man, and even Pingdan, Jiming and the fifth blessing are more powerful than Dai Gong.

Dai Gong was depressed, but yesterday he was named by Wu Lun and entrusted with the important task of escorting the grain to General Tunhu's camp.

In this way, I can see Captain Liangqiu again, Dai Gong happily agreed, this time he must ask the captain to transfer himself away! However, after the Fifth Lun sent his cronies to carry the grain to the car, he noticed something unusual: these sacks of linen grain looked a little strange, and he stretched out his hand to open them to take a look, but they were stopped by the Seventh Biao.

The road was not smooth, not long after crossing the Kushui River, the army Sima Ruchen sent people to report the emergency, and without saying a word, he asked the pigs to unload the grain carts, ride oxen, pack horses and donkeys, and rush to support with hundreds of people.

Only the seventh biao, Dai Gong and dozens of pigs were left in the same place, looking at more than a dozen grain trucks, which made Dai Gong a little scared: "Even if Sima is anxious for justice and justice, there is no need to work so hard?" ”

He cautiously raised his concerns to the seventh biao, and the seventh biao patted his thigh: "It is worthy of Dai Lao Junhou, you are right, we are to guard against the attack of thieves." ”

The seventh biao is also an old soldier, and he waved his hand and said: "Gentlemen, pull the grain carts over and form a barricade to prepare for the attack of the thieves!" ”

After the pigs and the brave people pulled the cart over and formed a circle, there was indeed smoke and dust galloping by the cavalry in the distance, and everyone was shocked, and the seventh biao stood on the car and looked.

The fellow sergeant Zang Nu held a spear, eager to try, after eating so many days of food, in addition to farming, he was also organized by the Fifth Lun to do some training, he and these dozens of pigs Tu Yong all hope to play a role, hiding behind the car barrier to resist the thieves or daring, just wait for the seventh Biao to order.

Unexpectedly, Brother Biao shouted badly: "There are hundreds of horses coming, I am afraid that we will not be able to defeat them, gentlemen, it is better to avoid its edge for the time being, and keep a useful body!" ”

As he spoke, he asked everyone to retreat quickly, Zang was stunned for a moment, looking at the grain and grass on the car a little unwillingly, but he was kicked by the seventh biao, threatening to kill him if he didn't obey his fate, so he could only leave with hatred, and only said: "We are really useless, I can't live Sima." ”

Dai Gong looked dazed, and was about to leave with the team, but the seventh biao shouted again: "Dai Junhou is careful of the arrows!" ”

The burly Seventh Biao pounced and knocked Dai Gong, who was about to slip away, to the ground.

Before Dai Gong could thank him, he found that he had a knife cut in his chest at some point!

Dai Gong exclaimed in pain, he looked at the seventh Biao in amazement, but saw that Brother Biao had already stood up, and shouted: "Dai Junhou was unfortunately hit by an arrow, he can't be saved, go quickly!" ”

Then he turned around and showed a hideous smile to Dai Gong, because the fifth Lun promised to do this, and the seventh Biao could replace Dai Gong and be promoted to the military candidate!

Seventh Biao patted the ashes on his buttocks and left, leaving only Dai Gong lying in place, today his cronies were all left in the camp, and no one came to save him. All the strength seemed to flow away with the blood, and he couldn't shout, and he couldn't die for the time being, just when Dai Gong didn't know what to do with the knife on his chest, the thief's horse's hooves were already nearby.

A man in a black linen mask came over to take a look, it was Wan Yu.

Dai Gong stretched out his hand and begged for help weakly: "Help...... Help me, I'll give you money. ”

Wan Xuan didn't care, only looked up at the car barriers gathered in one place, and said with a smile: "It's good to get together, so that you don't have to go to order one by one." ”

"Burn? It's all food, why don't you take some back? “

"If you want to burn it, you can burn it, and you will not say much."

With the disgruntled muttering of the horse bandits, the grain cart was set on fire, and it was full of flammable hay, straw, etc., and only a few bags of heavy sand were pressed on the top.

As the flames licked and the firewood burst, there was a huge bonfire on the grassland at sunset, which could be seen from afar in the county seat dozens of miles away.

The firelight also flickered in Dai Gong's eyes as he struggled to breathe, choking on smoke and dust, and blood foam kept gushing out when he coughed, and the next moment, he was helped up again, and the thieves began to drag Dai Gong to move towards the fire.

The fire grew stronger and stronger, and gradually swelled and grew, like a roaring beast, spitting out long tongues of fire in anticipation of fresh food.

Wan Xuan beckoned to everyone: "Throw this old thief into it too!" ”

Before being pushed into the fire, Wan Xuan still whispered in Dai Gong's ear: "Bo Yu let me tell you, your evil is innumerable, only the raging flame can remove your sin!" ”

……

The next day, when the Fifth Lun escorted the grain team across the Yellow River and arrived at the camp in Shanghe City, he immediately went to meet General Tunhu.

As soon as Wu Lun entered the account, he said bitterly: "General Han, yesterday Ruchen Sima was attacked by thieves on the way to transport grain, and unfortunately died!" ”

The old general Han Wei was shocked, and then said that if Ruchen was still alive, he would definitely break the defense in a second.

"It doesn't matter if something happens to people, food ...... Is the food all right!? ”
