Text Chapter 277 Yishui City 1
Finally, a personal guard couldn't help coughing, startling the nearby sect members to look back, only to find that there were more than a dozen unfamiliar figures behind them, and someone whispered exclaimed.
Tan Ye walked over suspiciously. Yu Zhilong laughed loudly and strode out, and Lao Jing followed closely with his knife, carefully guarding the guard. The congregation avoided each other.
"Tan Zhuangshi is so Yaxing today, I don't know who made this song, but it is appropriate!" Yu Zhilong said loudly.
"It turned out that General Fei was here in person, the villain didn't know, no wonder, no wonder!" Tan Ye took advantage of the firelight, and only when Yu Zhilong walked close could he recognize the person's appearance.
Yu Zhilong was not wearing armor, just a coarse cloth shirt, with a simple bun on his head, a cyan silk silk was firmly tied, and a faint smiling face was reflected in the jumping orange flames.
On his side, Lao Jing and seven or eight guards were draped all over their bodies, carrying swords and arrows.
Tan Ye hurriedly took two steps forward, knelt down and said: "The wild song of the mountains, how dare you enter the general's ears, this is just a nursery rhyme that I teach to compile, and it is just well-known and sung by the people." ”
"Nursery rhymes? It's elegant and chic. Yu Zhilong sighed softly, smiled and helped Tan Ye up, seeing that he avoided talking about it, he didn't ask anymore.
Kong Ying, Meng Chang, Jin Yan, Xie Lin saw that although Tan Ye was a cultivator, he was quite elegant in his conversation, and he was all curious. They saw that Tan Ye was not afraid of swords and axes, and they thought that he was a member of Murano Warriors, but now they see each other, but it is very different.
Tan Ye was busy bringing Zhilong to the bonfire, and led more than a dozen of his subordinates to come over to visit, all of whom were ordinary cultivators and craftsmen. The rest of the congregation gave up one after another. There are no less than 300 people here, both men and women, old and young, and strong men account for six or seven percent.
"I don't know what General Fei ordered when he came late at night?" Tan Ye asked slowly.
Seeing each other in the afternoon, Tan Ye felt that although this young general was kind to him, he was resolute and strategic, and he was somewhat wary of himself. Tan Ye led hundreds of people to join him, which was just icing on the cake for the strength of thousands of Jing'an troops.
Now the Jing'an army has arranged for hundreds of its people to stay in the far forest, and there are Jing'an soldiers outside the forest to patrol outside.
But after all, he is begging for others, and he is a head shorter in momentum, but he hates Yangshuo for mixing up a good situation, if he can join forces with the Jing'an Army for a long time, maybe he can achieve a great opportunity to revitalize his own religion.
Yu Zhilong glanced at the audience, these teachers were in rags, with vegetables on their faces, almost no cotton clothes on their bodies, all the leather jackets and other thick clothes seemed to be given to the old and young, and the strong men were mostly one or two tattered single clothes. There were also a few babies waiting to be fed in the crowd.
The congregants didn't have many weapons in their hands, and many of them had hoes, wooden forks, or a swarthy kitchen knife in their waists, feeling like a group of deserters.
Yu Zhilong sat cross-legged on the spot by the campfire, Xie Lin, Kong Ying, Meng Chang, and Jin Yan stood behind to accompany him, and Lao Jing assigned his subordinates to scatter around to guard.
Tan Ye squatted on the side, waiting for Yu Zhilong to speak.
"My audience is overdressed, I don't know why Yangshuo doesn't give you food and clothing?" Yu Zhilong said.
Before coming in just now, the soldiers outside told these people to set up a stove to cook sorghum and wild vegetables before going to night. Therefore, Yu Zhilong has this question.
Tan Ye sighed lightly: "Since the Yang Master entered the city, he has wantonly recruited sectarians and small people, assigned cronies everywhere to plunder the wealthy, not only took all their family assets, but even executed many male members of the family. As for the wives and daughters in the house, all those who have good looks, regardless of age and dignity, will share them equally with all the henchmen. There was chaos in the city, and for the sake of profit, there was a conflict with Nashi Zebo. I dissuaded and didn't listen, he wanted to turn his face with me! His cronies also scolded me for forgetting my ancestors and not remembering the suffering of the people in the past. Later, someone reported to me, saying that Yangshuo and others were jealous of Tan, and suspected that Tan intended to receive good karma, wantonly bought people's hearts, and had the intention of seizing the local coach. A few of my right-hand men have been captured and killed by Yangshuo and others, and I have no choice but to take these comrades and leave at night, thinking that the world is so big, where can I stay? Coincidentally, passing through here, I met General Fei, and I had also heard that General Linqu was for the people, so I came to invite. ”
Yu Zhilong was silent for a while, and sighed: "Since ancient times, villains have been rampant when they have ambitions, and there are many people with ugly eyes, and once they get to the top, they will inevitably act recklessly. If Tan Zhuangshi draws a line with it, it is a good thing! ”
"I don't know where this Yangshuo comes from?" Kong Ying interjected.
"I don't dare to hide it from you, Yang Shi is a disciple of my Ming King, and he was ordered to preach here, and the Ming King was killed, and the Xiang army was frustrated, so I had to avoid Yidu City, and turned to the Yizhou territory to hide, and secretly developed."
"The villain is a disciple of the Yang Master, so he should naturally respect the master, but the master acts like this, and he does not dare to agree, the former has a dispute over ideas, which has made the master unhappy, and now the Yang master has won the city, and he is no longer afraid to act, and some villains around the master are even more clever and tricky. A certain people suffered, and had to lead everyone to this point. ”
Xie Lin said: "I think this Yangshuo was also a fateful person before, and he hated the pseudo-Yuan and the local inferior gentry, and today he is in power, so he is naturally happy to take revenge, but this approach is too biased, but it is harmful to the people." ”
Kong Ying continued: "Exactly, everyone is a tree of the same root, how can they treat each other as enemies? ”
"The poor get rich, and they don't know why; The villain is powerful and does not distinguish between right and wrong. Yu Zhilong said casually, "People are not sages, they are all short, if there are no taboos inside and no constraints outside, no matter whether they are sages, even good people will inevitably become demons after a long time." ”
Xie Lin and Kong Yingju were stunned, only to feel that Yu Zhilong's words seemed to be meaningful, and they tasted it carefully, and felt that this sentence had a long meaning.
After hearing this, Tan Ye thought of the teachings, and his heart stirred. He was devout and religious, and believed that the doctrine could survive the world, but after several years of propagation, although he won many congregations, most of them were ignorant people, who only knew how to worship the religious honor, and believed that the suffering in this life would have consequences, or fanatically followed the incense masters in various places, etc., and everyone was in the clouds, and what he did was unknown. How could you ever think about it? Shizun Yangshuo was also polite and kind to people at the beginning, and was willing to share the weal and woe with everyone, but since he became a local sect, he gradually fell in love with the power and enjoyment, although he was still wanted by the government, and he couldn't show his whereabouts, but secretly he began to gradually pay attention to pomp and drink, and now he is obsessed with the benefits of Yishui City, and he is openly against this Jing'an army, and it is difficult to turn back!
Seeing that Tan Ye lowered his head and was silent for a long time, Yu Zhilong smiled and said: "I came late at night, but there is one thing to support. ”
Tan Ye woke up suddenly, and he fell into deep thought, but he neglected the flying general.
"How can the villain be virtuous, can he enter the general's eyes, I don't know what the general commands, the villain will definitely do it." Tan Ye said busily. He knew in his heart that when he came to serve, he naturally needed to listen to Zhilong's assignment. Although everyone had different ideas in the end, at this time, he was strong and weak, and had to surrender.
"Tomorrow, our army is about to attack Yishui City, in order to cover up his identity, Tan Zhuang needs to select more than a dozen strong and usable people from his subordinates, mix in with our soldiers, and try to sneak into the city after the city gate is opened at dawn tomorrow as a religious citizen. Our troops will then raid. You will respond to it, and great things can be done! ”
Yu Zhilong originally wanted to select 100 strong sect members from Tan Ye, but when he saw that most of these hundreds of people were in rags, skinny, and mixed with many old and weak women and children, he changed his words to more than a dozen people.
Tan Ye was instructed: "Although we don't agree with the Yang Master, it should be no big problem for us to disguise the people and enter the city." General Fei attaches so much importance to it, and Tan will do his best to repay it. ”
"This place is more than ten miles away from the county seat, it is better to start at the time of the hour and enter the city at the hour. As for the weapon, it is not advisable to show too much, after all, there are not many in the Maitreya Sect, so it is better to bring some old and weak companions, so as not to be too dazzling. Tan Ye suggested.
"That's the best." Yu Zhilong nodded, summoned Lao Jing, and asked him to leave a personal guard to contact Tan Ye, and then said to Tan Ye: "I have ordered General Qian Zheng in the army to choose a sharp pawn, pretend to be a sect member, carry more short weapons, and hide them under his clothes. When you enter the city, you can act with your camera. ”
Tan Ye hurriedly said: "May I respect General Qian's order!" ”
Yu Zhilong said with satisfaction: "I have to see the sect members today, I know that you are having a hard time, Xie County Yin, quickly go to the army to support some rice and grain to help." In front of Tan Ye, Yu Zhilong might as well be generous.
Tan Ye and the others hurriedly thanked him. Seeing the Jing'an Army relieving the people outside the village early today, although Tan Ye and the others were hungry and thirsty, they were afraid that Zhilong would be too distracted, and they did not dare to ask for food lightly.
The two talked a little more, and Yu Zhilong finished arranging the matter, and then turned around.
Yu Zhilong did not enter the village, and went directly to the military camp outside the village to sleep, at this time the soldiers of the various departments had slept peacefully, and they were about to eat and drink at midnight tomorrow.
Yu Zhilong summoned Xie Lin and Qian Zheng to inquire about matters inside and outside the village and in the army one by one, and only then did they dismiss the two to rest when they approached the third watch.
Before dawn, the soldiers had already gotten up to wash up and eat, and the first wave of selected soldiers had already set off early with Tan Ye under the leadership of Qian Zheng. Yu Shichang led another group of people, the number of people was even smaller, but more than a dozen people, and they had already set off last night.
Wu Side was indignant because he couldn't go, and Yu Zhilong said that he was injured and ordered him to keep him in the village. Now Wu Side can only sit dryly on the Hu bed, boringly counting the hours of the white clouds outside. The little lady of the Bai family brought him sweet rice porridge, accompanied by a few light side dishes, full of color, flavor and flavor, Wu Side was just unhappy. He scolded a few of his subordinates to wait for the military situation outside the village, and once there is a letter, report it quickly!
Yu Zhilong is the main force of rectification, and after the rising sun, he will set off in line. Bai Shixuan and other gentry sat nervously in the hall, drinking tea while thinking about the situation of seizing the city.
Today, the sun is shining, the stone is white and the water is green, and the marching place is not for the fact that there are many dilapidated and burned huts beside the road, but it is a beautiful scenery of a farmer's pleasant pleasure.
The scouts everywhere had already discovered that since Shi Zebo and Yangshuo besieged Baijiazhai to no avail, they plundered around and returned to the city. Now there is no enemy for dozens of miles around, even the enemy scouts have not been seen. Shi Zebo and Yangshuo were so careless and paralyzed by the military situation, even Fang Xue, Kong Ying and others were surprised.
All the way forward, less than eight miles from the city, suddenly a horse galloped in front of them. In front of Yu Zhilong, he reported urgently: "There was a war in the city last night, Shi Zebo and Yangshuo were merged, Yangshuo was defeated, and he fled from the city, and the city seemed to be in chaos." General Yu has been mixed into the city to standby, General Qian Zheng is temporarily hidden three miles outside the city, because he is worried about meeting with Shi Zebobu, no longer moving forward, I have come to ask for orders, how is it good? ”
Yu Zhilong and the others looked at each other, the situation changed so dramatically, these two people also joined hands to conspire with Wu Side a few days ago, and won the city, but they didn't expect to turn their faces today.
"How is the city now," Yu Zhilong asked.
"Fires broke out in several places, and the gates were wide open, and only a few men and horses were guarding the city. General Yu sent people to report that the order in the city was in chaos, there were many chaotic soldiers and routs, and the two thieves attacked and killed each other, and countless people died. General Yu secretly detained several enemy soldiers to inquire, it turned out that Shi Zebo and Yangshuo were fighting for the wealth and women, and they did not deal with each other, and the Han army and Dahao in the original city were all attached to Shi Zebo, and before dawn, Shi Zebo suddenly attacked, Yangshuo did not notice, and abandoned the city after not supporting. ”
Mu Chun stepped forward and asked, "General, this is a great time to march into the army!" Qian and Yu have few soldiers, and they rush in, and there is no way to continue, so they can be allowed to blend into the city, temporarily watch the enemy's movements, and wait for the army to arrive, and then work together to take it! ”
"Exactly! Ordered Qian Zheng and Tan Ye to send elite soldiers to the front of the city to investigate, don't alarm the thief army. Yu Zhilong was overjoyed. Shi Zebo and Yangshuo have a total of no less than 10,000 people, and now the two are competing, their strength will be greatly damaged, and the battle in the city has just ended, and the people's hearts are unstable, which is a good opportunity for them to take advantage of the situation.
Yu Zhilong looked around at the generals, Xie Lin, Kong Ying and other scribes stayed in Baijiazhai, and Qu Bo, Gou Fugui and other generals around him couldn't hold back.
"Gou Qianhu, let your department be the first, quickly go to meet with Qian Zheng, and then attack immediately, without delay! The rest of you, order the infantry to speed up, and in half an hour, you must rush to the county seat! ”
The generals responded violently and received orders to return to their headquarters. Not long after, there were bursts of rapid marching drums in front and behind, and the ministers urged loudly. Hearing that the enemy in the city was killing each other, the Jing'an army was very likely to pick up the bargain, and the soldiers of the various departments smiled happily, and the speed of the march suddenly accelerated.
