Chapter Eighty-Eight: You Pedantic Sour Confucian
Linzi City, on the city wall.
Gong Jing was so worried in his heart, he sent a large wave of death squads to break through the city to send a letter for help, but there was no one out of ten, and the worst thing was that the reinforcements of the Han army in Qingzhou did not wait, but the reinforcements of the Yellow Turban army came.
As soon as the new Yellow Turban army arrived, Guan Hai's army actually withdrew the soldiers and horses at the east gate, which was simply a mysterious operation, Gong Jing stood on the city wall and scratched his head desperately, entangled in Guan Hai's intentions.
Gong Jing was puzzled, so he had to pull up the last weed on the city wall suddenly, took the weed in his hand, and every time he tore off a leaf, he read vigorously:
"Breakout? Hold? Breakthrough? Hold? ......”
At the beginning, Gong Jing had not been on the top of the Linzi city wall for more than ten years, until after the Yellow Turban army besieged the city, Gong Jing was forced to run to the city wall every day to observe the enemy's situation.
In the past, every time the Yellow Turban army attacked the city wall, Gong Jing, who was too nervous, would pull out the wild grass on the city wall and use the odd and even numbers of blades of grass to decide whether to hold on or surrender.
It's a pity that Gong Jing hasn't counted the leaves on the barren grass yet, and the Yellow Turban army will often retreat temporarily because of the failure of the siege, so that Gong Jing has to pull out a new barren grass the next day, and the old eyes start to count in a daze.
Day after day passed, and there was not much grass left on the city walls, and the ground was bare, except for the last weed, which became unusually clean.
Gong Jing still hadn't finished counting, and Cheng Yuanzhi under the city wall had already come to the front with Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
Cheng Yuanzhi also saw Gong Jing's figure, roared violently, and shouted angrily:
"Listen, the people on the city wall listen, please Gong Taishou come out to answer, Youzhou Prefecture Mu Cheng Yuanzhi is here, let Gong Jing take the lead, this official has something important to order."
Salute first, then soldiers, and then oppress people with officials.
Don't shout that Gong Jing is too guarded, for fear that Gong Jing will think that the people in the city are all yellow turban thieves, and he is unwilling to talk to Cheng Yuanzhi.
Taking the initiative to show his identity, Cheng Yuanzhi knew that although Gong Jing was too guarded, he was not the history of Qingzhou, and he was the state pastor, and his official position was three levels higher than Gong Jing's.
When Gong Jing heard this, he was shocked, he was obviously a thief wearing a yellow scarf, but he said that he was the governor of Youzhou, which was ridiculous, the biggest boss in the states and counties of the Han Dynasty was the assassin Shi, and occasionally the county guard could also get on the stage, and he could say something.
State pastoral? This is not to show that he is a liar, and he does not play cards according to the routine, besides, the pastor of Youzhou Prefecture is in charge of Qingzhou's affairs, this is too idle to talk nonsense, it is simply when Gong Jing is a three-year-old child whose IQ has not yet developed.
"Ben Tai is here, don't be rash, Ben Tai Shou and other anti-thieves, or surrender quickly, or leave on your own. I really have time, a variety of farming, and I can harvest more, and when I have a good life, I can read more when I have the conditions, and don't even report my official position wrongly, and be smiling and generous. ”
Gong Jing thought that being idle is also idle, pulling weeds can only relieve pressure, while ridiculing and sarcastically others can produce a sense of superiority, and there is a faint sense of achievement, so standing on the city wall, Gong Jing started spraying.
When Cheng Yuanzhi heard this, he was immediately furious, so angry that he couldn't whip Gong Jing, so he angrily whipped Liu Bei, and scolded Gong Jing:
"Gong Jing'er, don't be embarrassed, toast and don't eat and drink. Open your dog's eyes and see clearly, this is the edict of the appointment of the state pastor, the state pastor is the state pastor of Youzhou, for the son of heaven to herd the wild states. If you don't obey the order, could it be that you Gong Jing want to be a thief? ”
The thief shouted to catch the thief, and Cheng Yuanzhi was quite good at this method.
Fortunately, before coming, Cheng Yuanzhi still asked Liu Bei and Liu Yu, two Han clan relatives, to make up a recommendation form, as for the edict, how many things should be used, and the Luoyang West Garden Selling Office almost played the banner of wholesale.
Cheng Yuanzhi gave Liu Bei a look, Liu Bei understood, took out the edict, and threw it on the city wall, which could be regarded as falling at Gong Jing's feet.
Gong Jing picked up the edict and looked at it, and what caught his eye was that the two Han clan relatives recommended Cheng Yuanzhi to be the pastor of Youzhou, and the people who signed the letter were Liu Yu and Liu Bei.
"Zhuojun Liu Bei Liu Xuande? Uh, I don't recognize it. Wait, could this be the handwriting of Liu Yu and Liu Bo'an, the great Han Zongzheng? Why did he get to Youzhou to serve as an assassin? That's right, Bo'an's handwriting must not be fake, could it be that this person in the city is really Youzhou Mu? Gong Jing muttered incessantly, this edict can at least be judged to be half-true and half-false.
Liu Yu's parts can't be faked, and Liu Bei still needs to be studied. has been an official for thirty years, Gong Jing has really never heard of Liu Bei's name, it can be seen that Liu Bei is not famous, and the Han clan may also recognize it at will.
When Cheng Yuanzhi was really Youzhou Mu, Gong Jing still had doubts in his heart, lying on the battlements, and shouted to Cheng Yuanzhi:
"This edict is not fake, and it also has Bo'an's handwriting. But Er and others wear yellow scarves on their heads, which is no different from anti-thieves, and Ben Taishou is not blind, so it can be seen that you have voted for the yellow turban anti-thieves, and you want to deceive Ben Taishou's city. This bit of conspiracy and trickery, Ben Taishou has already seen through it, it is too pediatric. ”
The Yellow Turban army was like a torrent, and wherever it attacked, most of the Han troops defending the city fled from the wind, or simply joined it and continued to sweep the next city.
Gong Jing is not a Han official who has never seen thieves, there are many, and now there are many officials and officials in the city, who were originally the pillars of Qingzhou, but in the blink of an eye, they have changed into moths and ant thieves who are besieging the city.
To be honest, Gong Jing was also sad, and even thought about surrendering in Kaecheng, and forgot about the Yellow Turban thief, but the Yellow Turban thief refused, and forced Gong Jing to stick to the city.
Before, the assassin Shi Jiaohe and the Taishou Gong Jing were combined, and the Yellow Turban anti-thief was powerful, so it was better to commit himself temporarily, surrender the thief, and save his life first, and then assassinate Shi Jiaohe with a small number of soldiers and horses, wearing white robes, hanging white flags, and beating the city gate to discuss surrender.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Jiao He left the city, before he saw Guan Hai, he was drowned by the Yellow Turban army like a torrent, and he trampled to death directly, and there was no corpse in it. Gong Jing has stood on the city wall for so many days, and he has not been able to find Jiao He's body.
It's really pitiful and pathetic, Qingzhou Thorn Shi Jiaohe died in the battle under the city of Linzi in Qingzhou, at least Gong Jing's letter for help is written like this, otherwise how can there be a loyal person who is willing to lead the troops to rescue Gong Jing, Gong Jing can't say that we want to surrender, and the Yellow Turban thief won't give it, you come and save me.
In that way, Gong Jing's reputation will be stinking and scornful.
Cheng Yuanzhi saw that Gong Jing was obviously very afraid of the Yellow Turban army under the city, and he was still hard-mouthed, and he didn't even forget to sell the old and rely on the old, so he was furious, pointed at Gong Jing's nose, and shouted angrily:
"See through? It's ridiculous, Gong Jing, you pedantic sour Confucian, tell you, why should Benzhou Mu surrender to the Yellow Turban Army, Benzhou Mu was born in the Yellow Turban Army. Gong Taishou is afraid that he can't see this, right? ”
