Chapter 421: Watching the Battle from All Directions
Just when the battle was shouting outside the city, on the Ganquan city wall, Ganquan County Zun and a group of officials were watching the battle process that was close at hand, looking at the bloody battlefield, and there were many worries, joys, and losses in their hearts.
Looking at the Xiang Yong who attacked like ants, it made their blood boil, and watching the lives of the Xiang Yong fall one after another like fallen leaves in winter, which made them numb to the heart of human nature, and occasionally felt a little distressed and regretful. Watching those villagers kick up the fortress one after another, it also made them stand up nervously, clenched their fists nervously, and shouted loudly to cheer, but hearing the earth-shattering explosion and the corpse stumps scattered with the explosion also made them stunned and colorless. When they looked at the defeated soldiers who turned back like a tide, they also looked depressed.
But the war is still going on, everything has no end, hearing that Zhang Yuan continued to attack overnight, the county was really overjoyed, and hurriedly urged the master to sign Ding to send the best wine and meat to those Xiangyong, and repeatedly promised that as long as the thieves in front of him are eliminated, the county will not be stingy with rewards, and for a time it will also be exchanged for Zhang Yuanxiangyong's cheers.
For the military Bai Ding, this Ganquan County Zun is still wise and did not be like other literati, self-righteous personally pointing the country, scolding Fang Xuan, and pointing fingers in the military, but very self-aware and chose to watch, which made the hearts of the thousands of adults who were fed up with the self-righteousness of the civil officials to control the elbows and make things difficult for the eunuchs of the army were a little more comfortable, (the eunuch and the army were a deformed product of the Ming Dynasty, and when Chongzhen was in power, the system of the eunuch and the army was taken away by those Donglin scholars along with other good systems)
The county does not interfere with the process of the battle, but it does not mean that he does not care about the progress of the battle, although he has been sitting on the city wall with a sore back and shivering from the cold wind, he still does not give up his practice of watching the battle in person to cheer for the soldiers, and it can be regarded as conscientious.
On the battlefield, it was not only his county leader who watched the battle, but also the eyeliners of other forces, constantly patrolling the edge of the battlefield, constantly galloping back and forth to report the latest developments on the battlefield.
At first, they were still sneaky, but later they simply blatantly stopped on the distant mountain, just like watching a play in the countryside, so they moved a stool to sit down, brought tea, and enjoyed it while drinking tea.
The big drama is indeed a big drama, and it is very lively to enter the ** at the beginning, but it is actually more bloody.
In a small cottage that had just been attached to the base area, the thin pole head called the Great Heaven was anxiously waiting for the return of the scout horse he had sent.
A few days ago, the arrogant army came to the cottage with a large group of men and horses, and negotiated with himself in the south of Ganquan, within his sphere of influence, not to rob the local people and trade, as well as the local landlords.
At that time, he was forced to break into the army's prestige, had to be false and wrong, pinched his nose under the cottage and signed an alliance under the city, gave up his own privilege of giving and asking for three points of land, and could only receive the grain, grass and silver money supported by the base, and be a peaceful mountain king, the courage was not long, he was his subordinates after knowing that the landlord agreed to the rent and interest reduction policy of the army, they secretly went down the mountain, returned to the original owner to farm with peace of mind, the original cottage of more than 2,000 people was only ten days of dispersion of more than half of the scene, Why doesn't this make Datian anxious?
At the beginning, I was forced to helplessly endure the exploitation of the landlords, the powerful and corrupt officials, and took a group of neighbors to the mountains and grass for a way to live, but with the extension of time, I slowly got used to the feeling of being the emperor of this small world, and I was also used to the feeling of being quite a momentum and taking away. Once this feeling is addicted, it is like a maggot in the bone, and it is difficult to get rid of it.
But all this was destroyed by the suddenly powerful army of the people, who could not rob the money and property of the surrounding people, and could no longer enjoy the filial piety of those small landlords on time, how could this not make the big pole angry.
But the momentum is stronger than people, look at the strong soldiers and horses, each of them is abnormal, although the one named Cao Meng said politely, everything is the same way, they are all original good people, they are all unable to survive before planting the flag on the mountain, they should be in the same spirit, sympathetic to his subordinates and local people, so please give up plundering the place, receive some support from the army, and be a peaceful pole.
It's a shame to make a pole and not to rob, so what do you do as a pole.
Although he signed the alliance under the city, he was unwilling, but what could he do if he was unwilling? The cottage in front of the mountain is a lesson from the past, and the army called the board, a disagreement, the two artillery battles of the army took the cottage, and also sent cavalry to chase the south and the north of a slash, on the head of the pole of the difficult brother, called the head of the lone wolf was also chopped off, and also rectified out a lot of its mutilation of the surrounding people The accumulation of crimes spread around, and he knew that his combat effectiveness was not the same as that of the lone wolf, so he shrunk his neck and hoped that the next time he had the opportunity to avenge this revenge.
The opportunity is coming, no, the army of officials and soldiers came to encircle and suppress the army, originally the same way should have been sad for the army, but I don't know how to be a little complacent in my heart, and I hope that the officials and soldiers will level the Black Tiger Village in one fell swoop, so that this place can be restored to its original state, and the officials and soldiers will not be more serious with a small pole like themselves.
The gall thing is so unexpected, I heard that Cao Meng heard that the official army came to suppress, not only did not take his men with his tail to flee back to the Black Tiger Village to hold on, but with great fanfare, he took that little bit of people and horses, and poured water at the gate of Ganquan County to build the city, and blocked the gate of the people. Therefore, I constantly sent scouts to inquire about the news and see how long the intruding army could resist under the oppression of the tenfold enemy, which was quite a bit of a schadenfreude mentality.
However, the news brought back by the Tanma was very disappointing news for him, and the battle began not well for the officers and soldiers, until the news they had just received turned out to be that the officers and troops had been severely damaged by the invading army, and more than 1,000 people were killed and wounded.
Hearing this news, Datian not only did not like it, but was very troubled, and for this reason, he also dropped a very precious water bowl. He muttered dejectedly: "Why are the officers and soldiers so cowardly? There is nothing they can do with just five hundred thieves, really, and it is too uncompetitive. The tone was full of hatred for iron and steel.
The landlord of the Yang family in Yangshuwan is also anxiously waiting for the family members sent to report, the family members who have reported before have made the angry Yang old man beat his face full of blood, yes, the officers and soldiers have been killed and injured thousands, not only are you not sad, but you are snickering in your heart, you snicker, and it is also manifested on the face, which really makes the Yang landlord unbearable.
The scene at that time was that when the long worker who was sent to investigate came back to report, he first knelt on the ground respectfully and answered carefully, but after a while, he began to show his vigor and joy, and when it came to the final killing and wounding of thousands of officers and soldiers, he couldn't help but dance with his hands, and at that time the old landlord Yang jumped up and kicked up, and also buckled a fine porcelain tea bowl on his head, and scolded hysterically: "You can't open your eyes, what are you doing so happily when the bandits win, is it that the thief has supported you, Just get carried away without the royal law and the emperor of the court? Rent reduction and interest reduction is my grace to you, master, where do I have to thank those thieves? You wait for the mud legs to be complacent too early, once the officers and soldiers gain power, see if I don't eat you alive to relieve your hatred. ”
After scolding for a while, I remembered one thing again, and the scolding was even more energetic at that time, "Also, don't you think that I don't know what you all did last night, didn't you go to the county seat to help the thieves repair the fortress?" Know what it is? It's a thief, it's a rebellion, I think it's all my long-term tenant old man, I don't care about you, that is, the past with your eyes closed, but you don't kick your nose and face endlessly, this time the official army encircled and suppressed his base area, once successful, I will get back my land rent and recover the money you owe me, no, not only will I have to take out the difference, I will double, double and let you pay it back, it is really against you. As he spoke, the beating became more vicious, and the long worker held his head on the ground, did not argue, did not wail, and endured the beating and scolding without a sound.
Fortunately, his eldest wife knows the depths, this is still a big force of thieves, these mud legs have been taken care of and protected by the thieves, the waist pole is very strong, and he can't be offended for the time being, in case this kid has a bad mind to report to the thief, and so on in case the official army cuts his feathers and returns, the thief may come to find his own bad luck, his original forty or so nursing homes are far from being able to resist the attack of the black tiger thief, I heard that the Zheng family in Nafu County is not from the black tiger thief's rent and interest reduction policy, and make a death to the end of the clan, when I think of this, there was a cool breeze coming from the back of his neck, and he was busy scolding the long-term worker who was already covered with blood to get out, and then send a careful long-term worker to the battlefield to investigate,
The little landlord was also tired, and returned to the hall with the support of his wife, came to the Buddha hall, bowed deeply, and kowtowed to the great mercy of Guanyin Bodhisattva, hoping that the great mercy of Guanyin Bodhisattva could bless the official army to achieve a great victory, and in one fell swoop wiped out the gang of heavenly thieves in the Black Tiger Village, and returned to his own days.
His eldest aunt just bowed her head and complained beside her, "What's the use of asking for a bodhisattva?" What's so bad about giving those poor people a little reduction in interest on rent? First, it won their hearts, and secondly, it didn't force them to go up the mountain to be thieves, and it also gave us peace of mind to farm. If you don't run away to be a bandit, won't you let yourself go to farming yourself? And we got the guarantee of the thief, don't you see that the wife has been peaceful in the past ten days, and has not seen a thief come to harass and extort money, isn't this better than raising a lot of family members, but living trembling all day long? I can't forget how long it's been since I've slept like this. When he said this, his voice was lowered and he complained in a low voice: "Also, what did you do when you secretly donated those silver coins to Zhang Yuan's dead man, this is good, in case the official army is defeated, it is really not only offended by the heroes who broke into the army, but also lost that lot of silver money in vain." ”
"Your mother-in-law doesn't talk too much, what do you know? It is nothing to reduce the rent and interest in the base, and it will not delay us too much, but those mud legs will kick their noses in the face when they get this sweetness, and next time they ask for rent and interest reduction, it will be our disaster at that time. We must pinch this bad sign, and no matter how much money we have, we don't have to feel distressed. ”
The mother-in-law stopped talking, she didn't understand these big truths, and she couldn't say her own truths, so she knelt in front of Guanyin Bodhisattva and prayed quietly, and she didn't know whether it was for the army or the official army. Anyway, everyone has their own conscience in their hearts.
