Final Chapter. 207
When Chen Ziling heard Wang Yi's words, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately left behind his embarrassing and conspicuous things! thinks that no matter how big Zheng Qian's background is, after all, he is only a disciple of Wang Fang; Even if a hundred of these heads are cut off, they can't be worth the weight of Zhou Changan's fingers! But when he calmed down a little and secretly planned the specific implementation steps, the ecstasy that had been hanging on his face froze there again:
"No, it's not that simple. Even if the people in Woniu City are small and outnumbered, even if our army attacks strongly, it will not take much effort. But as soon as this soldier moves, it is inevitable to startle the snake, and Zhou Changan has enough reason to give up this group of routs in a grand manner......
"Chen Shuai, you are too worried, since the old man said that he wanted to give you a congratulatory gift, how could he be so troublesome? As early as yesterday, Lianhua County and Woniu Town were already under the control of our army! ”
After finishing speaking, Wang Yi took out two silk cloth packets from his cuffs, and after unfolding them, two Beiyan official seals were revealed!
In the early morning of this day, Zhou Chang'an, who was dressed as a rich young master, really came to Lianhua County with a group of ghostly dogs.
A Qin soldier dressed as a strong man in Lianhua County, far away, saw Zhou Chang'an sitting on horseback. But as soon as he wanted to open his mouth to shout, he ordered the other party to come forward and be interrogated; I only felt a breeze coming from the back of my head, and then the world was spinning, and as soon as it was dark, I was completely unconscious.
After the Qin army armor fell, a young descendant was revealed behind him. This person's facial features are not standard, and his body is too thin; But only ten fingers are thin and long, and the skin is white and delicate enough. Such a good-looking pair of hands, combined with his thief's eyebrows and rat eyes, and his ghostly facial features, are extremely incongruous.
He threw an old hammer in his hand, reached into his mouth, and blew a loud birdsong; Immediately afterwards, the "dog legs" around Zhou Changan dispersed in the blink of an eye, leaving only a young man with a white face and a fat body.
Zhou Changan shook his fan and waited for a long time, and looked at him quite strangely:
"I said Qi Hui brothers, they are all gone, why don't you move?"
Qi Hui frowned when he heard this, pinched a layer of his belly and said:
"If I'm willing to move, can I still eat like this?"
Zhou Changan glanced at the corner of his mouth, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud; Then he raised an arm, wrapped around half of Qi Hui's body, and whispered in his ear......
When the sun was rising, Chen Ziling personally led two hundred guards and soldiers to look and touch the outside of Woniu City. After they had bolted their horses, they walked straight to the south gate of Cow City. In the depths of the dense forest twenty miles away from Chen Ziling, there were eight thousand elite armor soldiers waiting for them.
According to Wang Yi's words, Chen Ziling sent three personal guards and quietly approached the south gate of Woniu City. After a quick and low knock on the door, Chen Ziling saw two heavy city gates, pushed open from the inside out; A middle-aged man wearing a six-rank civil official robe, led by twenty "Northern Yan Army", quietly walked out of the city gate.
"Next...... Xia Guan is the magistrate of Woniu City, Zhuang Naiwen, meet Chen Shuai......"
Faced with the trembling greetings, Chen Ziling did not say a word, first broke Zhuang Zhixian's hands, and looked at it repeatedly; When he was sure that this was a pair of hands that could only hold a pen, he said with confidence:
"Zhuangzhi County, although Hedong City has fallen into the hands of our army, Zhou Changan is not embarrassed to lose! The outcome of the next battle is still unknown, why did you want to switch to my Qin army? ”
"Hey...... He is only a civil official, and he has no power to restrain the chicken, nor does he have the talent to defend the city. Before the battle of Hedong City, the 800 city guards here were also requisitioned and transferred by the imperial court. At present, your army is menacing, and it is simply powerless to resist it with just the people in the city and the common people in the city. If the lower officials don't descend, where will they find another way to live? ”
"Well...... Ants are still stealing their lives, which is a big truth. Zhuang Naiwen, do you know the purpose of our army's trip? ”
"I don't know, and I don't want to know. This battle of Qin Yan, in the final analysis, is just a private matter of the Heavenly Family; Zhuang is just a six-pin county, and he can't manage such a big thing. ”
Chen Ziling looked at Zhuang Zhixian, who was low-eyed and pleasing to the eye, and nodded with satisfaction:
"Well said! This is indeed a matter of heaven. Let's go, let's go into the city and have a look......"
After finishing speaking, Chen Ziling beckoned to the two hundred guards behind him, and pointed out a brother with fast legs, ordering him to go back and tell the rear army that the entire Woniu City and Lianhua County would be surrounded, leaving only the north alone.
Under the guidance of Zhuang Zhixian, Chen Ziling and others slowly walked into the small town of Woniu. The Qin soldiers on both sides of the city wall, although they all wore the military uniforms of the Northern Yan; But as soon as Chen Ziling, who was wearing black armor, entered the city, everyone cast eager admiration at him. There was also a young junior, wearing an ill-fitting Beiyan military uniform, and ran forward excitedly:
"Chen Shuai, why are you here in person? My arms are swollen like that, why don't you rest for two more days? ”
Chen Ziling looked at this mediocre-looking descendant, and only felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him. However, as the commander-in-chief, he commanded hundreds of thousands of troops under his command, and it was inevitable that he couldn't remember every face. Now the mood of this junior is high, and he is not good at chilling the hearts of the soldiers.
"If your arm is swollen, you can go into battle and kill the enemy! I think your kid's spirit is not bad! How's that, it's better to sleep comfortably in the beds in the city! ”
Seeing that Chen Shuai remembered himself, his attitude was also very close, and he immediately opened his mouth excitedly! He walked quickly to Chen Ziling's side, raised his hand and pushed Zhuang Naiwen of Zhixian County:
"Roll on, a sesame mung bean-sized demote is also worthy of standing side by side with our Qin Army's Tiger Chen Dashuai?"
Before Chen Ziling could stop him, this self-cooked junior had already taken the lead in the front, pointed in all directions excitedly, and introduced Chen Ziling:
"Chen Shuai, there is not much land in this Woniu City, and the brothers have already figured it out! Behold, at the end of this way, is the granary of Lying Cow City; Three more streets in this direction, there are a few empty camps; The dilapidated houses in the distance were all dwellings, where the poor of the city lived. ……”
This young pawn really didn't brag, and in a few words, he introduced the details of Woniu City.
It turned out that the reason why he hated this Zhuangzhi County was not because of the hostile relationship between the two sides; It's this six-grade petty official Zhuang Naiwen, who is a heinous and heinous greed!
Since the Qin army captured Fengling Gudu, Zhuang Zhixian has taken the pretext of actively preparing for war, rampant conquest, knocking on the bones and sucking the marrow, forcing countless good people to death, and finally making trouble to the point where everyone talks about Zhuang's color change and is afraid to avoid it.
Woniu City is not large, and at the peak of its population, there were only more than 10,000 people; And those rich and wealthy families have long fled this place to escape the war; And those poor people would rather pull the pole and go north to escape the famine, rather than stay here and continue to endure his endless exploitation.
Therefore, there are only three kinds of people in Woniu City at the moment: Qin army armor soldiers who pretend to be soldiers in Woniu City; Together with Zhuang Naiwen, I will bring disaster to all the dogs in the township, as well as those old, weak, sick and disabled who can't escape at all.
Rao is Chen Ziling has killed countless people during this period of time, but when he looked at an old man in the distance who was described as withered and covered in mud, he was pulling a child with a straw mark on his head and rushing towards him; I couldn't help but feel an unbearable sourness in my heart.
No one should live like this.
After Chen Ziling walked into Zhuang Naiwen's study, the diligent and clever pawn brought a maid who was like a flower and jade and arranged a table of refreshments for Chen Ziling.
Dim sum is just a few seasonal fresh fruits, plus two common jujube cakes, nothing new; But when Chen Ziling picked up the tea bowl and gently drank a sip of the clear tea soup, he only felt that the whole body was shrouded in a fresh and elegant taste, just like being in the tea garden of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, which made people linger......
"This ...... What kind of tea is this? ”
I don't know how long it took, Chen Ziling suddenly opened his mouth and asked such a sentence; And the little guy who was as beautiful as a flower covered his mouth with his sleeves and smiled lightly:
"General Huiyu, this is produced in the Ming Dynasty Longjing in Jiangnan Province, which is the new tea of the year; As for the one you just drunk, it will be sold for about fifteen taels of silver on the market. ”
Chen Ziling, who was born in a subordinate family, couldn't help but gasp after hearing this price; At the same time, in his heart, he also gave this dog stolen official Zhuang Naiwen a secret sentence of death...
After a cup of tea, the clever pawn hurried back to the mansion and held a letter with a fire signature in front of Chen Ziling.
This letter was sent from the city of Bingzhou, and in order to avoid startling the snake, the Qin army brother who was disguised as the Northern Yan Army was now entertaining the post man at the official post.
As for the letter itself, it is very simple. It was just that the injuries of the four princes were aggravated, and Zhuang Naiwen was ordered to transfer the wounded and materials to Bingzhou City in batches; If the transportation capacity of the carriage and horses is insufficient, the number of gaps can also be stated in the reply, and the city will be responsible for filling it.
It's just that at the end of this official letter, not only is the big seal of Wang Kenong, the governor of the Three Jin Dynasty, stamped, but also a small oval seal, and the seal is the word "Baili".
Although Chen Ziling has no fame, he has also accompanied Zhou Changfeng to read books and knows some rules among literati. Baili is the expression of the fourth prince Zhou Chang'an; Therefore, this small round seal must be Zhou Changan's private seal.
According to Wang Yi's words, after Zhou Chang'an broke through the bloody battle in the Yanchi camp, there were more than ten large and small injuries, and his armor was also broken; And their own sentry cavalry, it was precisely because of the imprint of blood that they were able to chase them for more than 300 miles.
But just three days have passed, and Zhou Changan, who has lost too much blood, can already put a private seal on the letter! In this way, it proves that his external injuries not only did not worsen, but also showed obvious signs of improvement!
Could it be that it was a matter of Woniu City and Lianhua County, and the news was leaked in advance?
