Everyone was talking, there was a steward in the village, please be right, the banquet was ready to stop, Bai Shixuan invited everyone from the Jing'an Army to enter the table, Wu Side was also making a fuss to enter, Yu Zhilong saw that he was emotional, and he couldn't bear to stop him, so he had to let people move his arms and legs, and he carried him in. During the banquet, he was inconvenient to eat and drink, and there was a small maid beside him to add food and vegetables to him, but the little lady of the Bai family secretly called a small maid to come over and deliver a message, asking Wu Side to take care of his body and drink less yellow soup.

Everyone in Baijiazhai has been hiding here since the incident, and the movements inside and outside the county town are unknown in the past few days, so Yu Zhilong has to wait for the scout to return.

After the meal, Yu Zhilong called the military doctor to treat Wu Side, untied the bandage, and saw that Wu Side had many knife wounds and arrow wounds on his front and back backs, and some of the wounds were not completely scarred in the depths. This was caused by Wu Side's bump when he was lying on the bed and rushing to the gate of the village.

Wu Side fled in a hurry, naturally there was no medicine, fortunately, there were a lot of bone-breaking and hemostatic drugs in Baijiabao, and it was even beneficial to the signature bone-setting cream of the Capital Yishengtang to stop bleeding and build muscles, and the effect was very good. Bai Shixuan took a small jar and almost wiped Wu Side's body.

The little lady of the Bai family was waiting in person, she was shy at first, and when she saw the hot blood gushing out of the wound, she was so anxious that she didn't dare to make a sound, and held the medicine bottle tightly in her hand, the cork had already been removed, and she was only waiting for Zhilong's order to apply medicine to Wu Side's wound.

Wu Side didn't care, shook his head, and only said that his life was a great blessing, but it was just a ghost door closed and walked back and forth.

"I didn't see Hades, why did you cry! Don't make adults laugh! Wu Side didn't want her to wait by the side, but this little lady just didn't leave her, and seeing that Yu Zhilong didn't object, Wu Side gave up.

The military doctor carefully examined the wounds one by one, cleaned the wounds, and stitched more than a dozen stitches to the large wound before ordering the application of medicinal stones, adding a few splints to the chest and back, and carefully tying them.

"General Wu is really a blessed person, although some wounds are deep, they are not as good as the internal organs, and the treatment is timely on the same day, and there is no major problem when he is well recuperated for more than ten days." The military doctor finished dealing with it, for Zhilong Dao.

"Pay attention to these days, do not drink, do not move, let alone indulge in running, it is best to rest in bed for five or six days, and wait for all the wounds to heal before slowing down."

Wu Side frowned when he heard this: "Isn't this going to kill me!" If you don't have wine and meat, you can't move, and you can't live for a day! ”

"Nonsense! The doctor is the greatest, and he listens to the doctor's advice. This is a military order. Yu Zhilong reprimanded.

"Shiro, don't be annoyed, when you take care of your body, where can you do it" The little lady persuaded softly, but the movements in her hands were not slow, and after a while, she put on a coat for Wu Side, lightly tied the placket, and her movements were gentle, as graceful as a spring breeze.

Seeing that the little lady of the Bai family served so diligently, Yu Zhilong felt that this Wu Side had really picked up a treasure.

After comforting Wu Side to recuperate for a few days, Yu Zhilong went out of the house, and a small school ran close to worship and said: "The surrounding villages have been explored, and there is no trace of the thief. There are a lot of corpses buried in the river beach to the west of the village, and the small ones are excavated and examined, all of them are the thieves who died in the attack on the village the day before yesterday. The surrounding villages and neighbors were poisoned by the thieves, no less than 100 people were killed and wounded, dozens of women were taken captive, and their families heard that the general was coming, and many of them begged for permission in front of the village, so please send troops to exterminate the thieves and save their families. There are also some young people who are willing to join the army, and General Mu Chun asks the general to make a decision. ”

At this time, it is almost dusk, Yu Shichang has already set off, calculate the time, if it goes well, it has been mixed into the city, and it is estimated that he will return tomorrow morning.

The tragic situation outside the village, the gentry of Baijiazhuang also cried in the early stage, but it involved large households, and most of them suffered great property losses, but these surrounding households were already poor, and the cattle and sheep that they had saved and raised at home were robbed, which was tantamount to a catastrophe, and the wife and daughter were taken captive, which made it even worse! Xie Lin only briefly visited a few places, then transcribed a stack of documents and hurriedly reported it. After Yu Zhilong saw it, he was furious in his heart, this Shi Zebo wantonly crippled the people, and it was really not a good kind. Yu Zhilong was still a little bit of a negotiation with him, and the idea of turning the relationship between the two sides disappeared.

When asked about Yangshuo's movements, it is said that he gathered thousands of people, one of whom entered the city and ransacked the rich and private houses in the city together with Shi Zebo, and the other marched around outside the city, encouraging people everywhere to join him. He even executed many wealthy local families, and all their family assets were divided among them, and all their wives and daughters were taken captive and occupied.

Many of these gentry in Baijiazhai have granges and corrals in the four townships, and now these are almost all looted, and as for the families and relatives who can't escape, their fate is not much better. The gentry who took refuge in the village searched for their own situation, and when they heard about the suffering, they all wept bitterly. In this way, the more the revenge mentality of helping the Jing'an army become.

Yu Zhilong recalled the uprising of the northern boxers in later generations, and the long-haired division of the south, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional. The people are ignorant and greedy, although they have a simple desire for equality and happiness, but they are very easy to be radical and narrow-minded, and the leaders are more selfish, fishing in troubled waters, wanton deprivation, and it is strange that the people are not bitter!

Worried that something would happen to Yu Shichang, Yu Zhilong instructed Gou Fugui to lead a sentry to a man in plain clothes, and drive the horse to the outside of the county tonight to answer, and Bai Shixuan chose a local native to lead the way.

As for the young men who are willing to join the army, Yu Zhilong has good words to comfort him, and he will reason when he recaptures Yishui City. He estimated that after these people were robbed, their homes were difficult, and their livelihoods would be more embarrassing in the future if they lacked labor, so Yu Zhilong temporarily borrowed some rice and grain from Bai Shixuan and other gentry. The villagers thanked each other, and then dispersed.

Kong Ying, Meng Chang, and Jin Yan have been following Xie Lin to visit the villages, understand the people's conditions, transcribe the looting and other things, and are very busy until late at night.

Kong Bi led the people from Quanlin Town to help the villagers around the village to repair the houses, now it is winter, the weather is getting cold, these villagers' huts are dilapidated, and then destroyed by the thieves, burned, but can not withstand the cold wind, can not stop the winter rain. Some sergeants of the Jing'an Army were also sent to help; In addition, Yu Zhilong also persuaded the local squires and others to donate grain and rice to help the disaster households, although the number is not large, it is better than nothing. For a while, the name of benevolence of the Jing'an Army was widely spread, and many people enthusiastically joined the army in the later period.

On the second day, the sky was bright, and after noon, Yu Shichang finally returned quickly, entered the village, Yu Shichang did not rest, and went straight to Yu Zhilong with sweat to report the news.

"This time, thanks to the Bai family to lead the way, the entry into the city was quite smooth, and the subordinates were observing around the city, that Shi Zebo had already begun to recruit troops and horses, and there were no less than a thousand people in the city, and he saw the face of Wu Sheng in Qingfeng Village."

Yu Zhilong was slightly shocked in his heart, these two people would finally be together. Presumably, Wei Bao and others are in the city.

"As for the Yangshuo house, there are also many congregants in the city, occupying some mansions, opening incense and setting up altars, and attracting the people. The only difference between him and Shi Zebo is that most of the money and food that Shi Zebo looted everywhere was given to Qingfeng Village's own family, and Yangshuo was distributed to the congregation and the neighbors where some dioceses are located, so he has more people now, but the old and weak among them are mixed, and they are not as good as Qingfeng Village. At this time, Yangshuo sent many of his leaders to march in the four towns outside the city, agitating, and I don't know how many people in the city are attached to it. ”

"How many people can there be in Yangshuo?" Yu Zhilong asked.

"Its troops are scattered everywhere, it is really difficult to guess, it is estimated that there are no less than 10,000 people, and there are only 2,000 soldiers who can fight."

"The Han army that was originally captured by our army switched to Shi Zebo, and one of the reasons why Wu Side was defeated so quickly that day was that some of the Han army generals were colluding with local tycoons. These rich men in the city compete with each other for profit, and some of them are powerful people. Seeing that our army won the city, some people wanted to take the opportunity to seize the opponent's family assets, but General Wu Side then went out to the list of Anmin, and it was strictly forbidden to loot and set fire, so they turned to Shi Zebo, and secretly colluded with the captured Han army generals, encouraged the soldiers, and the Yangshuo family came to cooperate. Shi Zebo was greedy for the benefits of the city, so he entangled everyone to take advantage of the night to make trouble. ”

Yu Shichang talked eloquently, these news are no longer a secret, the rebels and sect members in the city are running around, talking loudly among themselves, but Yu Shichang saves a lot of effort. As long as you pretend to be a new person and treat them to a meal of wine and food, you can get a lot of insider information.

"After all, Shi Zebo has a bad reputation and a bad reputation, and the rich people in the city and the Han army have a lot of doubts about him, I see that the Han army is a family of its own and does not belong to it, while Yangshuo is to publicize the doctrine, recruit the congregation, and loot the rich and private houses everywhere. However, since Wu Sheng entered the city, Qingfeng Village began to restrain his subordinates and prevent Yangshuo from acting recklessly. ”

"Although there are many thieves in the city now, they are not subordinate to each other, there are still suspicions of each other, the city defense is lax, and many people are extremely dissatisfied with the behavior of Shi Zebo and Yangshuo, if our army suddenly attacks, it will definitely win a complete victory!"

"Shichang has worked hard!" Yu Zhilong was very satisfied.

Since the death of Liu Zhengfeng, Yu Shichang can't help but feel a little hesitant in his heart, now Yu Zhilong is the head of the whole army, his position is unshakable, and if he wants to make meritorious contributions, he will always be unable to get around. In the past, he didn't give Yu Zhilong a good face, but at that time, he still had his father Yu Hai, and Liu Zhengfeng, the king of Shuntian, was blowing in the wind, but now he had no choice but to lower his figure, do more things, and strive to be better in the eyes of the other party.

As for the girl liking this flying general, Yu Shichang vaguely knew about it, so he didn't pay much attention to it at this time.

Ignoring Yu Shichang's little ninety-nine in his heart, Yu Zhilong secretly thought about how to attack.

Yu Shichang continued: "On the way back, I met a person on the road, who claimed to be a member of the Maitreya sect, surnamed Tan Mingye, and had something important to visit the general. I asked, I only said that I came to save the people of Limin, and I didn't want to be in the same stream as the church, and my subordinates didn't know their intentions, so they were tied up for the time being, and they were placed outside the hospital. ”

"Oh, that's interesting! Yangshuo has been mixed up inside and outside the county, I don't know how this person is related? Yu Zhilong said.

"He didn't elaborate, he only said that he saw an adult report something."

"So it is, and it is called."

Yu Shichang took the order and left.

Not long after, Yu Zhilong saw Tan Ye in the hall, this person is five short figures, black face and beardless, nearly forty years old, big hands and feet, thick and sturdy body is born as a coolie at a glance. Similar to Kongbi.

Tan Ye had eyes, and saw that everyone in the hall was guarding a young general in the middle, so he stepped forward and leaned over to meet Yu Zhilong, "The villain Tan Ye has seen General Fei." And then he said nothing. Yu Zhilong didn't let him sit down, let him stand under the hall, and the two looked at each other.

Yu Zhilong finally spoke: "I know that the head of the Maitreya Sect, Yangshuo Yin Stone Zebo, and then teamed up with the local inferior gentry to conspire to seize my city, and many of the soldiers in our army have been trapped in the hands of thieves, and this revenge is not avenged!" Thou art a cult person, and if you dare to come to see me, don't you know that if the army moves like thunder, there will be a matter of swearing to sacrifice the flag? You kill yourself, don't blame the Jing'an army for being ruthless! ”

Tan Ye was slightly frightened when he heard this, and bowed his hand and said: "Maitreya's teachings are to universalize all sentient beings and help all people in the world, what is a cult?" The world is the benevolent and righteous division of the Jing'an Army, General Fei has the courage of the world, the heart of Kuang Shi to help the people, the villain is rough and shallow, and the heart is very respectful. What I saw today is a lie! ”

The relatives and guards in the hall were furious, and Lao Jing drew his sword and wanted to behead. Qu Bo crossed his eyebrows and reprimanded: "Ignorant horseman, An dares to speak falsely!" ”

Lao Jing was originally a member of the Linqu family, because Sun Xing died in battle, Yu Zhilong saw that he was loyal and brave, so he was promoted as the head of his personal guard. Lao Jing was originally a member of the 100 households, but this time he was promoted to 1,000 households. This Lao Jing has many years of experience in escorting the shopkeeper, and he is willing to be the head of the guard and is willing to do his duty, so this position is just right.

Several guards stepped forward to tie Tan Ye's arms, and they were about to twist and send him out. After a few steps, when he was about to leave the court, Yu Zhilong saw that Tan Ye's face was still calm, so he waved his hand and ordered the guards to escort him back, and the guards temporarily retreated, saying: "When we meet in Pingshui, what can we say?" Since thou hast come thy own has, thou shalt have something to do. And tell the truth. ”

Tan Ye looked left and right, and Yu Zhilong said with a smile: "There are no outsiders here, you are all my confidants, and you can speak of it." And he ordered the seat.

Tan Ye thanked him, and then he did it next to his ass.
