Chapter 70: The Promise
"Open the door! If you don't open the door again, the general soldier will go in. ”
After Wang Zezhi finished speaking foul language, Zhang Honggong jumped like thunder, and he immediately organized spear and shield soldiers to press towards the Black Tiger Village.
Wang Zezhi stood at the head of the village gate and did not speak, but directly put two cannons in front of them.
Zhang Honggong looked at the scene in front of the Black Tiger Village and hesitated.
If he attacked Black Tiger Village with his manpower, he would definitely be able to capture it, but he would also suffer heavy losses, which was not what he wanted.
"What happened?"
Geng Ruqi heard a report from the sentry and said that Zhang Honggong and Wang Zezhi had a fight.
This general soldier and guerrilla fighters have fought, and the superiors bully the subordinates, what kind of system.
Besides, he said that his own people beat his own people, and it was a joke to spread out, and when he heard about it, he immediately hurried over.
"My lord, the last general pursued the thieves so far, and found that there were dozens of people missing, and the last general suspected that those thieves had infiltrated the Black Tiger Village, and the last general wanted to enter the Black Tiger Village to catch those thieves, but the Yanmen Pass guerrilla was not allowed, and the last general's swords and soldiers were added, my lord, please see that it was his cannon."
Zhang Honggong sued first, pointed to the cannon in front of the battle and said.
Geng Ruqi looked in the direction he was pointing and gasped.
The air was filled with the smell of gunsmoke and blood, which choked him and coughed violently.
After Geng Ruqi coughed twice, he endured his physical discomfort and came to the Black Tiger Village, stroked his beard and said: "Geng Ruqi, the old man and the governor of Shanxi, also hopes that the guerrilla general will make it convenient and open the gate of the village." ”
"It turned out to be Lord Geng, the last general is polite, come on, open the city gate quickly."
Geng Ruqi is famous, his person is upright and upright, Wang Zezhi did not doubt what means he would do, and hurriedly ordered someone to open the gate of the village.
Wang Zezhi sorted out his armor and went out to greet him in person.
"Be careful, sir." After the gun shield array, Zhang Honggong saw that Geng Ruqi was about to enter the Black Tiger Village alone, and shouted anxiously.
Geng Ruqi glanced back at Zhang Honggong, how could he not know Zhang Honggong's intentions, after all, Zhang Honggong had asked about this matter in the tent.
"Adults, please, come here, serve tea."
Wang Zezhi led Geng Ruqi towards Zhongyi Hall, and after Geng Ruqi entered, he ordered someone to quickly close the gate of the village and prevent Zhang Honggong from following up.
Geng Ruqi was not afraid at all when he came in alone, as if he had entered his own door.
The village was in a mess, Yang Zhihui led people to treat the wounded, and Qi Qi, Xiong Jiachang, and Li San led people to carry out the brothers who died in battle.
Li Hua and Ah Niu took the captives into the dungeon, and the others were separating the bodies of the homeless.
"The guerrilla generals have worked hard to stop the thieves, and if there is any need, even if they are brought, this governor will not be stingy."
Geng Ruqi looked around, and after a cursory look, he knew that there was a tragic battle in the Black Tiger Village, so he opened his mouth and promised.
"My lord, please have tea."
"Okay."
Geng Ruqi took the tea handed over by Wang Zezhi and drank it.
"My lord, although I am a guerrilla general, I have no place to stay, no place to farm, and this battle with the thieves is even more devastating."
Wang Zezhi had a humble attitude, bowed down and said to Geng Ruqi.
The guerrilla general has no rank, Geng Ruqi is a second-class member of the imperial court, and he has to be humble.
"Isn't Black Tiger Village the best place to stay?" Geng Ruqi asked suspiciously.
"My lord, you have also seen it outside, too many people have died, and it is easy to produce epidemics here, and it is no longer suitable for life."
"yes."
Geng Ruqi stroked his beard and fell into thought.
This guerrilla general is young, and he can not only capture the Black Tiger Village, but also resist the attack of thousands of thieves, which shows that this person has some ability.
"Thieves are rampant in Yu County, and they have been eroded." Geng Ruqi put down the teacup and continued: "If Wang Guerrilla can take the county seat of Yuxian, this governor can try his best to ensure that you are the garrison of Yuxian County, and this Yuxian County will be your station. ”
Wang Zezhi's face was happy, this was exactly what he wanted.
Open up the wasteland, that is unrealistic, first of all, there is a shortage of water in this era, a basin of water to wash your face, feet, and socks, and finally save it to water the ground.
Secondly, to open up the wasteland, it is necessary to dig wells, and to dig wells is not only to find the right location, but also to support human, material and financial resources, which is still very expensive.
Finally, there is a guarantee of a harvest after the land is cleared, and no one dares to guarantee it in this era of water shortage.
Therefore, the best way to do this is to make use of the abandoned fields near the water source.
"Is this true?"
"Absolutely."
Wang Zezhi's heart was excited, but the surface was calm.
"My lord, an outsider from the village, said that there is urgent information to see the governor."
"Bring it in."
"Yes."
"My lord, the Governor Battalion is dead."
"What?" Geng Ruqi, who was drinking tea, shook his hand, and the tea spilled all over the ground.
"What's going on?" Geng Ruqi grabbed the collar of the messenger and asked anxiously.
"Those thieves were so cunning that they led the Biaotong battalion to the land temple outside Yuxian County, where there were ambushes and tiger squatting cannons, and the Biaotong was killed without noticing."
Geng Ruqi stumbled and sat on the chair, and after a long time, he got up and went back to the camp to count the soldiers.
Zhang Honggong also knew that the stakes were high when he heard the news, so he followed Geng Ruqi and left.
Wang Zezhi counted the people who could fight and followed him, he knew that it was time for him to behave.
In the large camp in the army, Geng Ruqi listened to the report of his subordinates, and his face was gloomy.
The 1,000 cavalry chased out by the Fubiao battalion only came back more than 300 people, and they didn't even grab the body of Biaotong.
"My lord, Yu County is high and deep, we need to transfer artillery to support before we can attack, otherwise we will definitely suffer heavy losses."
"yes, yes."
After listening to the report, Zhang Honggong came out of the crowd to express his opinion, and Geng Ruqi's face was heavy.
He knew that what Zhang Honggong said was the truth, but the thieves would not be destroyed for a day, and Yuxian County would be restless for a day, and he could not escape the blame for being the governor.
Wang Zezhi, who was excluded at the end of the camp, recommended himself and said: "My lord, please let the last general fight, the last general will definitely break through the county seat of Yuxian and exterminate the bandits for the adult." ”
"Humph! With such a big breath, the Fubiao battalion suffered heavy losses and did not take Yuxian, so even with your little guerrilla, you dare to speak out. ”
Zhang Honggong pointed at Wang Zezhi and asked sharply.
"The last general is willing to set up a military force, if you can't take Yuxian before noon tomorrow, the last general will come to see you."
"Okay, get the pen and ink." Zhang Honggong shouted, and immediately someone brought pen and ink, and he took a group of generals and began to force Wang Zezhi to sign a military order.
"Humph! Scared, right? Zhang Honggong said disdainfully.
"There will be a condition at the end, if the end will capture Yu County, the end will use Yu County as a station, and the good land in Yu County and Shouyang that was greedy by the Wenju people will be assigned to the end of the general's tuntian."
"Okay, if you really take Yuxian County, this governor will use this official as a guarantee to help you achieve your wishes." Zhang Honggong heard the conditions he proposed, and just wanted to be furious, Geng Ruqi spoke.
Wang Zezhi made a military order, took the order and left, and the generals dispersed.
Geng Ruqi sighed, he didn't know if he was right to gamble, in fact, he was just a dead horse and a live horse doctor.
"Arrogant, this general soldier will see how he dies."
Zhang Honggong walked out of the camp and said disdainfully.
"I don't know how thick the sky is..."
"That's it, we don't dare to say that we can take all the 5,000 Jin troops..."
"Where did he put us when he said so?"
A military general doesn't think about how to take Yu County, but you and I will count Wang Zezhi one by one.
Wang Zezhi returned to the Black Tiger Village, took the remaining more than 100 people, painted their faces with ink, dressed in black, brought weapons, and waited for darkness.
