At a time when Lu Shi was worried about Zhang Yuan's escape and the supply of the current coalition army. There was a master in Ganquan City who came to ask for an audience, which surprised Lu Shi. When I finished reading the prefectural order and the letter of the thousand households brought by the main book, I felt like I couldn't cry or laugh at that time.

It turned out that the county respected the military camp with a small family in a panic and rushed to the military camp to ask for refuge, this time, the thousand households did not have the same as the civil and military forces in other places, seeing the civil officials gloating, and very happily took the county zun into the barracks, because with the material reserves of the looting county warehouse, the military households are now a thriving scene, everyone eats and drinks well, the knives and guns are neat and the equipment is complete, but they can rely on the military camp to defend for a while.

But Lord Qianhu put the county lord in, but he had his own plan, that is, to avoid this disaster safely, he must pull the county lord to carry the black pot together.

The result of the battle of Ganquan on the battlefield, the defeat is certain, this is within the mental preparation of Qianhu, but I didn't expect the defeat to be so tragic and the consequences are so serious, I was also counting on Zhang Yuan to be trapped in the county town, and resist the siege of the pole with himself, with the seven hundred combatable soldiers in his hands, and Zhang Yuan's landlord armies who have seen blood, plus the county's signers and the guards of the major families, etc., it is not a problem to hold Ganquan and other reinforcements in Yan'an, but since the recruitment of the township warriors of the big households, he has a cold heart.

It turns out that those businessmen and big households know the principle of action of the thieves, only to the government, not to rob the rich people, not only that, once the county is broken but also a lot of cash to purchase materials, this is actually a great opportunity to make a fortune, therefore, not only are not worried about the city broken, but are eagerly looking forward to it, all secretly told their subordinates, do not resist, to bring themselves unwarranted disasters, those signs are even more angry, not only perfunctory, but also people in the secret series, once the thieves attack the city, find a reason to open the city and let go, reason? The reason is that the thieves have entered the city, and they are going to open warehouses to release grain, when will the government be able to do this?

Do you think it's weird or not? Those guys who have received the grace of the country, why do they value money so much at this time? Have the thoughts of loyalty and patriotism been eaten by dogs?

But complaining is complaining, and I know that this is indeed the voice of the people, but I can't stop it and can't stop it.

Early in the morning, his subordinates reported that there was a change in Zhang Yuan's camp, and all the soldiers went to the street to collect iron nails, and called all the blacksmiths in the city to make iron nails, but it didn't look like they were running away, because they didn't see them packing up heavy grain and grass, stacking military camp tents, and seeing that the situation was really like what they said, building defensive equipment, and preparing to help Ganquan defend the city.

But Qianhu is an old soldier, and he can't figure out what kind of defense equipment needs a lot of iron nails, and when the second spy came back and reported that Zhang Yuan nailed these iron nails to the soles of Xiang Yong's shoes, Qianhu was inexplicably Qianhu saw one of his soldiers carrying water fall on the ice, and he suddenly realized.

The feeling of this Zhang Yuan is to hide from everyone and others, let everyone go to the city to defend, attract the attention of the thieves, and escape by himself with a golden cicada.

At that time, when Qianhu scolded Zhang Yuan for being despicable, he was also secretly frightened, and as soon as Zhang Yuan left, then this sweet spring would definitely fall.

Once the city is broken, it will be a matter of losing land and humiliating the country, and he must be a head on the ground, but defending the city is a 100% failure, and at the same time, he doesn't want his younger brother to lose his life for this impossible thing. After thinking about it, the deputy Qianhu gave himself a wake-up call with an unintentional remark.

"The thieves have always broken the city without killing officials, robbing officials without robbing the people, and then left satisfied, if only they did the same this time."

Deputy Qianhu's words were like a bright light illuminating his heart.

If I have it, why don't I just live or die in this barracks, let the thieves rob the county government, and wait for the thieves to withdraw their troops? Whoever asks me about this is that I am unable to defend the city, but I will not lose the barracks. When the thieves went, they announced to the outside world that when the thieves were looting, I relaxed my vigilance, and I led the army to kill them by surprise and drive them out of the city to recover the county seat, so that not only did not take responsibility, but also may be meritorious.

The idea is good, but there is a very critical threshold here that cannot be passed, that is, the military general's sworn enemy, the civil official county order, that guy must desperately buckle the basin on my head in order to shirk the responsibility of losing the city, how can this be good?

At a loss, the county took the small official Xu to take refuge here, when the thousands of households heard it, they couldn't help laughing in their own lobby, this is really sleepy someone sent a pillow, the county zun this civil official sent himself to the door and carried the black pot with himself, how can he not let himself be ecstatic?

At that moment, he hurriedly greeted him, politely let the county lord and the county master book to no one, and said to the county lord with a bitter face: "The county lord came to my camp, didn't you put the body of your daughter to death?" Why are you so confused? ”

At that time, as soon as the county lord heard this, his soul was all gone. Tremblingly, he asked Qianhu, "Where did the general start with this?" Didn't you say that you are determined to protect me and my family if you have a breath of air? How can you say such things now? ”

The thousand households cried and said: "The lower officials want to fight to the death, but also to protect the safety of the adults and their colleagues, but you see that those signing Ding family Zhuang Ding are all eager for the city to be broken, my lord, you see now, how can I resist the attack of thousands of thieves with high morale?" And this small barracks has long been dilapidated, where can it be defended? Therefore, I can only do my best to obey the destiny of heaven, and sooner or later I will be loyal to the emperor, so please find a way to escape from the city quickly, my lord. ”

At that time, the county was anxious to stomp his feet, "I'm a civil official, even if I run out of the city now, I must not break out of the encirclement, even if I break out of the encirclement, then the court law is there, and I will also die and die, how is this good?" ”

As soon as Qianhu saw that the heat was almost over, he cautiously said helplessly: "Actually, the thief doesn't know the roots, this time it was the incident provoked by Zhang Yuan, we didn't participate at all, we were behind Zhang Yuan's black pot." ”

"Isn't that it? It's all *** blame Zhang Yuan, where is it bad, we have to fight with the thieves here in Ganquan, and we are affected by the fish pond. This time it hurt us. "That county zun patted his thigh and regretted it." But the thieves outside the city don't know, and it would be nice if they knew what we were doing. The county lord muttered dejectedly. If they knew that we didn't want to be their enemy, they might have let us go just like Luochuan Fuxian. ”

Thousands of households are waiting for the county's words, and they praised it at that time; "Lord Prefectural Superiority. is still the county lord resourceful, and the lower officials admire and admire it. ”

Being praised by this, the county zun listened to Qianhu's compliments in confusion, and really didn't expect to investigate where Gao Jian was, and asked in a daze: "Lord Qianhu, why do I have Gao Jian?" ”

How can the thousand households not sit on the high opinion of the county? At the moment, he was extremely excited and said: "Didn't the county lord say just now, the thieves outside the city don't know our hardships, it would be good if they knew our hardships." He also said that if they knew that we didn't want to be their enemy, they might let us go. ”

"yes, that's what I said, what's wrong?" The county still didn't understand it, what was so clever about this.

The thousand households stepped forward and explained: "Didn't the county lord say that as long as we find a way to communicate with the outside of the city, and tell the thieves that we are forgiving for our suffering, won't it be done?" As long as we reach a tacit understanding, he is doing things in the county, I am here to defend the barracks, our river water does not violate the well water, until they are satisfied, they retreat, we are not the stubborn defense of the barracks to resist, and finally under the wise command of the county lord, with the joint cooperation of the county's soldiers and the county government, we repelled the thieves and kept the county? Wouldn't we all be a great accomplishment? ”

"yes, won't we all be safe then?" The county was also excited to scream in his thighs, excited that he could think of such a clever plan.

That Qianhu sneered in his heart, sample, just a rookie in officialdom like you, didn't you drink my footwashing water? This idea is yours, and it is all of us who will have the merit to defend the city in the future, once the matter is revealed, you will be determined by the black cauldron.

Suddenly, I saw the master book sneering at him, and he was shocked at the moment, knowing that his treacherous plan was seen through by someone with a heart, but he immediately said to the county lord and said: "Lord County, in order to reduce the loss of property, but also to defend the barracks, without the consent of the county lord, move half of the things in the warehouse back, if your plan is successful, then we can also count this half as the loss of the thieves, so that everyone in the county can share the day." ”

The county lord and the chief bookkeeper are all bright-eyed, thinking that this is indeed the case, then everyone will benefit.

"Alright, please write a letter to the thief with me, hoping that they will be able to take what they need with us and do this."

When the Qianhu heard this, he said with a bitter face: "But, but, my lord, I am a vulgar general, and I can't write at all." ”

This is the truth, the county lord didn't delve into it when he thought about it, and for his own future and life, he couldn't care too much, so he wrote a righteous and awe-inspiring letter to Lu Shi at the moment, and while reprimanding the thieves for committing rebellion, he also explained that he wanted to take what he needed from the thieves. The letter was written, but it needed a righteous and awe-inspiring person to send it to the thief's den to see the thousand households, and the thousand households spread their hands helplessly and said: "This matter is important, and it must be done by a person who can speak well, my subordinates are all hot tempers, and one is not good to annoy the thief, won't it backfire?" The county lord thought about it, and looked back at the master book.

The master bookkeeper felt bitter in his heart, you are a thousand pickled goods, you are pulling me into the water, I am afraid that I will report you for opening the door for theft in the future.

But now that he has gotten on the thief ship, he can't get down, not to mention that in order to save his life, he only needs this way to go, so he gritted his teeth and took the initiative to step forward; "Lord County, students are willing to go."

The county lord became smart this time, thought about it and called the history around him, and instructed: "You will accompany the master bookkeeper to go with you, and you will have a good time during the period." ”

There was a deep disdain and disgust in the eyes of the historian, but under the low eaves, he could only obey the order, and he didn't say anything at the moment, so he agreed.

Looking at the distant back of the distant master book and history, the county lord and Qianhu thought together: "The life of the family and the great future are all planned here, don't let me down the thief." ”
